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 March 31, 2009, results of
operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 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 and 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
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS
No. 141(R)") which revised SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." SFAS No.
141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes
and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the
liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquirer and the
goodwill acquired. SFAS No. 141(R) 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 consolidated financial
statements.





In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements." (“SFAS No.160”). SFAS No. 160 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 noncontrolling interest, changes in a
parent's ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity
investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also establishes
reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify
and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the
noncontrolling owners. The adoption on January 1, 2009 of this standard resulted
in changes to our presentation for noncontrolling interests and did not have a
material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial
condition.

In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the
disclosure requirements of FASB Statement 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133") to require 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 consolidated financial
statements.





In April
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142-3 "Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142-3"). This guidance is intended to improve the
consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"), and the period
of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS
No. 141(R) 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 SFAS No. 142's entity-specific factors. The
adoption on January 1, 2009 of this standard did not have a material impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements.





In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles." (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used
in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with GAAP. The adoption on January 1, 2009 of this
standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.





In May
2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments
That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement)." (“FSP APB 14-1)”. FSP APB 14-1 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 nonconvertible
debt borrowing rate. In addition, the FSP 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 consolidated financial statements.





In
September 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, "Determining Whether
Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities." (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 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 pursuant to SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." This guidance establishes that unvested share-based
payment awards that contain nonforfeitable 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 consolidated financial statements.

Recent
accounting pronouncements





In
April 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim
Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“SFAS No. 107-1and APB
28-1”). SFAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 requires interim disclosures regarding the
fair values of financial instruments that are within the scope of SFAS No. 107,
“Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” (“SFAS No. 107”).
Additionally, SFAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 requires 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. SFAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 does not change the
accounting treatment for these financial instruments and is effective for the
Company beginning in the second quarter of the year 2009. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 107-1 and APB
28-1.





In April
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2, “Recognition and
Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” (“SFAS No.152-2 and SFAS
No.124-2”) which provides operational guidance for determining
other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) for debt securities. SFAS No.152-2 and
SFAS No.124-2 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after
June 15, 2009 and will be adopted by the Company beginning in the third
quarter of 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption
of SFAS No.152-2 and SFAS No.124-2.





In
April 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value when
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly
Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“SFAS No. 157-4”).
SFAS No. 157-4 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. SFAS No. 157-4 also provides guidance on
identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. In
addition, SFAS No. 157-4 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. SFAS No. 157-4 is effective for us beginning
in the second quarter of the year 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157-4.

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 properties 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 consolidated financial statements.

Note
2 — Acquisition





On
January 20, 2009, the Company signed equity purchase agreement with the
shareholders of Xi’an Xinxing Property Management Co., Ltd. (“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 residence and commercial projects. The acquisition
strengthens the Company’s ability to improve the value to customers during the
after-sale phase of real estate development business. The synergies and benefit
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 operation have been included in the Company’s 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) cash payment of RMB 3.6 million,(approximately $0.5
million), on March 30, 2009, (3) an additional cash payment of RMB 3.6
million,(approximately $0.5 million), on June 30, 2009 and (4) a final cash
payment of RMB 2.8 million,(approximately $0.4 million), 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 deal. As of
March 31, 2009, the remaining balance under the agreement amounted to $1,756,209
(see note 9).





The
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS
No. 141(R). The purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price
allocation is not considered final as of the date of this report as the Company
is still reviewing all of the underlying assumptions and calculation used
in the allocation. However, The Company believes the final purchase price
allocation will not be materially different than presented below.

Note
11 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments





On
January 1, 2008 the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“SFAS No. 157”), for financial assets and liabilities. This statement provides
a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding
fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, which
for the first quarter of the year 2009 is March 31, 2009.





The
fair-value hierarchy established in SFAS No. 157 prioritizes the inputs used in
valuation techniques into three levels as follows:





Level-1
      –
            Observable
      inputs – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and
      liabilities;





Level-2
      –
              Observable
      inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
      and liabilities – such as quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted
      prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets, or other
      inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market
      data;





Level-3
      –
              Unobservable
      inputs – includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more
      significant inputs are unobservable and require the Company to develop
      relevant assumptions.





The
following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair
value on a recurring basis as of the measurement date, March 31, 2009, and the
basis for that measurement, by level within the fair value
hierarchy:

Note
12 - Convertible Debt





On
January 28, 2008, the Company issued Senior Secured Convertible Notes 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.




12


The
holders 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 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 holders 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 conversion feature embedded derivative associated with the
convertible debt meet the definition of a derivative instrument according to
FASB No. 133, ”Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities” and are recorded as derivative instrument
liabilities and periodically marked to market. The fair value of the
warrants and the conversion feature embedded derivative on inception were
determined to be $3,419,653 and $3,927,375, respectively, using the
Cox-Rubinstein-Ross (“CRR”) Binomial Lattice Model with the following
assumptions: 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 March 31, 2009 were determined to be $553,941 (2008
- $658,682) and $636,360 (2008 – 760,398) respectively, using the
Cox-Rubinstein-Ross Binomial Lattice Model with the following assumption:
expected life 3.83 - 3.91 years, expected volatility 90%, risk free
interest rate 1.37-1.39% and dividend rate - 0%. For three months ended March
31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded a change in fair value for warrants and
embedded derivative of $(104,740) (2008 - $243,756) and $(124,038) (2008 -
$248,511) respectively in the consolidated statements of
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. It is accreted to its face amount at
maturity using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate was
determined to be 15.30%. The carrying value of Convertible debt at March 31,
2009 was $13,903,756 (2008 - $13,621,934). Related interest expense and
accretion expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were
$263,363 (2008 - $177,777) and $281,822 (2008 - $171,683)
respectively.





Note
13 — Noncontrolling Interest

subsidiaries of the Company. As of March 31, 2009 noncontrolling interest
amounted to $29,062,215 (December 31, 2008 - $29,109,350).

Pursuant
to EITF 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and
Potentially Settle in, a Company's Own Stock," the warrants issued contain a
provision permitting the holder to demand payment based on a Black Scholes
valuation in certain circumstances. Therefore, under EITF 00-19 and SFAS No.
133, the Company recorded the warrants as a liability at their fair value on the
date of grant and then marked them to $395,963 at March 31, 2009 (2008 -
$458,461) using the CRR Binomial Lattice Model with the following assumptions:
expected life ranges from 0.22 to 3.09 years, expected volatility 90%, risk fee
interest rate ranges from 0.21% to 1.18%, and dividend rate - 0%. The change in
fair value of warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $(62,499)
(2008 - $(253,245)).





Including
the fair value of warrants associated with the convertible debenture (See Note
12), the total warrant liability as at March 31, 2009 was $949,904 (2008 -
$1,117,143). The total change in fair value of warrants for the period ended
March 31, 2009 was $(167,239) (2008 - $(9,489)).

Note
15 — Statutory
Reserves





In
accordance with the laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China, the
income of a wholly-owned Foreign Invested Enterprises, after the payment of the
PRC income taxes, shall be allocated to the statutory surplus reserves. The
proportion of allocation for reserve funds is no less than 10 percent of the
profit after tax until the accumulated amount of allocation for statutory
surplus reserve funds reaches 50 percent of the registered capital. Statutory
reserves represent restricted retained earnings.





Statutory
surplus reserves are to be utilized to offset prior years' losses, or to
increase its share capital. When a limited liability company converts its
surplus reserves to capital in accordance with a shareholders' resolution, the
Company will either distribute new shares in proportion to the number of shares
held by each shareholder, or increase the par value of each share. Except
for the reduction of losses incurred, any other usage should not result in this
reserve balance falling below 25% of the registered capital. Registered capital
at March 31, 2009 is approximately $82.6 million (December 31, 2008 - $81.8
million).





Pursuant
to the board of directors' resolution, Tsining transferred 10% of its net
income, as determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and
regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund, and will do so until such
reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company's registered capital.





The
transfer to this reserve must be made before any distributions of any dividends
are distribution to shareholders. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the
Company appropriated $0 (March 31, 2008 - $0) to this surplus reserve. In
connection with the Xinxing Property acquisition, the statutory
reserve increased by $154,812.





Note
16 — Earnings
Per Share





Earnings
per share for three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were determined by
dividing net income for the periods by the weighted average number of both basic
and diluted shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding.

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 a newly
designated satellite city of Xi’an. We believe this represents a major growth
opportunity for the Company.




Xi’an has
designated the Baqiao District as a major resettlement zone where the city
expects 900,000 middle to upper income people to settle. The Xi’an government
intends to generate a success similar to that created by Pudong for 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 in the Baqiao New Development Zone. The construction of a
large-scale public wetland park is well underway; it will embellish the natural
environment adjacent to China Housing’s Baqiao project.


Through
its New Land subsidiary, China Housing sold 18.4 acres to another developer in
2007 and generated about $24.41 million in revenue.
   After
selling 18.4 acres and placing 79 acres in the joint venture, about 390 acres
remained available for the Company to develop in the Baqiao
project.

OPERATING RESULTS

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
first quarter of 2009, most of our revenues came from Tsining JunJing II phase
one, which 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 is currently under construction and collecting funds under
pre-sale agreements.




Effective
January 1, 2008, the company adopted the percentage of completion method of
accounting for revenue recognition for all building construction projects in
progress, which currently includes the Tsining JunJing II. The full accrual
method was used before that date for all 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 March 31, 2009
increased 209% to $12,925,869 from $4,182,149 in the same period 2008. The
increase was primarily due to the increased revenue from Tsining JunJing IIPhaseOne, our current project under
construction.

The
revenue from completed projects totaled $2,620,607 in the three months ended
March 31, 2009 compared with $4,182,149 in the same period of 2008. The 37.3%
decrease was due mainly to the absence of revenues from Tsining-24G and JunJing
I as both projects had been completed.
 
 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 finish the river dam in second quarter
2009 and recognize the revenues when the project is delivered to the local
government.
 
 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 a 18.4 acre land sale to an unrelated
developer. Near the end of 2008, we established a joint venture with Prax
Capital Real Estate Holdings Limited (Prax Capital) to co-develop 79 acres
within the Baqiao project. Prax Capital invested $29.3 million cash in the joint
venture. About 390 acres remain available for development in the Baqiao
project.

the three months ended March 31, 2009, contributing $10,305,262 in revenues. By
March 31, 2009, we had pre-sold about 745 units in the project, totaling
approximately 76,295 square meters.
 
 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
about 136,012 square meters. Estimated total revenues for  Phase One
are approximately $95.6 million. The company expects to complete the
construction of Phase One in the third quarter of 2009.
 
 Phase Two
of JunJing II consists of 12 middle-rise and high-rise buildings and is expected
to start during the second quarter of 2009 and should begin contributing revenue
from third quarter of 2009 or the first quarter of 2010. The total revenues from
Phase Two are expected to be about $94.1 million.




Revenues
from projects completed




Revenues
in three months ended March 31, 2009 for completed projects decreased 37.3
percent to $2,620,607 compared with $4,182,149 in the same period 2008. The
decrease in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was primarily due
to the absence of revenue from Tsining -24G and JunJing I because both projects
had been completed.




Other
income




Other
income includes property management fees, rental income, revenues from 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 $918,814 in other income
in the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with $564,488 in the same
period of 2008. The 62.8% increase is mainly due to the acquisition of Xinxing
Property Management during the first quarter of 2009, which contributed
approximately $548,945 to our consolidated revenues.




Cost
of properties and land




The cost of properties and landin the three months ended
March 31, 2009increased310.3%percent to $9,498,215compared with $2,367,112inthe same period of 2008. Theincrease was primarily as a result of
theincrease salesvolume in ourJunJing II Phase
One project.

The
percentage of completion method of accounting is based on estimated costs
incurred, and is preferable as it accurately reflects the business activity of
the company and matches revenues with the costs incurred in the pursuit of such
revenue. The company has determined that retrospective application to periods
prior to January 1, 2008 is not practical as the necessary information needed to
restate prior periods is not available. Therefore, the company began to apply
the percentage completion method on a prospective basis beginning January 1,
2008.





Gross
profit and profit margin





Gross
profit for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $4,346,468, up 82.66
percent from $2,379,525 in the same period of 2008. The gross profit
margin for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was 31.39 percent compared
with 50.13 percent in the same period of 2008. The decrease in the gross profit
margin was mainly due to the different product mix. The residential units we
sold during the three months ended March 31, 2009 generally had lower
profit margins than the premium-priced retail units sold in the same period of
2008.





Selling,
general, and administrative expenses




Selling, general, and
administrative expensesforthe three months ended March 31, 2009
increased22.66percent to $1,408,824from $1,148,601inthe same period of 2008. The increase in selling, general, and
administrative expenses was due primarily tothemarketing expenses
associatedwithTsining JunJing
IIPhaseOneproject and the administrative expenses
related tothePuhua
formation.




Stock-based
compensation




We did
not incur stock-based compensation expenses in the three months ended March 31,
2009or duringthe same period of
2008.




Other
expenses





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





Other
expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased 150.1 percent to
$39,795 compared with $15,910 in the same period of 2008.





Operating
profit and operating profit margin





Operating
profit is defined as gross profit minus selling, general, and administrative
expenses, stock-based compensation, and other expenses.




Operatingprofitin the three months ended March 31,
2009was $2,897,848compared with $1,215,014inthe same period of 2008,up139.0percent, primarily due tothe higher revenue generated
byTsining JunJing
IIPhaseOne and,partiallyoffset byhigher selling, general, and
administrative expenses inthe first quarter of2009. As a result, the operating profit
margin was20.9 percentfor thefirst quarter of2009compared with25.6 percentforthe same period of2008.




Interest
expense




Interest expense in the three months ended
March 31, 2009 decreased23.1percent to $338,078from $439,673inthe same period of 2008, due primarily tocapitalization and repayment ofan8 millionRMBbank loan in Xi’an Tsining Housing Development Co., Ltd.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 about $22
millionofthe credit line, of whichthe company repaid$0.44 million during three months ended
March 31, 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
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. The company booked $(124,038) in the three months ended March
31, 2009 compared with $284,511 increase in the fair value of embedded
derivative 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.





In the
three months ended March 31, 2008, shareholders exercised a total of 1,870
warrants to buy a total of 1,870 common shares. 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 $(167,239) in the three months ended March
31, 2009, compared to $(9,489) 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 warrants will be exercised sometime in the
future. The basis for estimating the cost to provide those common shares was
provided by the valuation model.





Provision
for income taxes





The
company booked a provision for income tax of $713,641 compared with the $280,951
recorded in the same period of 2008.




The effective tax rate was27.3percent for 2009and85.5for 2008.The primary reason for the high
effective tax ratesin2008was that thechangein fairvalue of embedded derivative and
warrants could notbe deducted from the income before
taxes.




Noncontrolling
Interest





We
recorded $(47,135) loss attributable to noncontrolling shareholder of
Puhua and Success Hill, which is related to the formation of Puhua in the first
quarter of 2009. We did not have any loss attributable to noncontrolling
shareholder in the same period of 2008.





Net
income





Net
income in the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased 3,791.3 percent
to $1,855,584 from $47,685 in the same period of 2008.





As
explained above, the increase in net income was due primarily to the improvement
of market sentiment, higher sales revenues from our current construction
project, and a higher average sales price for the units sold,  partly
offset by the higher selling, general, and administrative expenses and the
change in the fair value of warrants and the embedded derivative in the first
quarter of 2009.

Basic
and diluted earnings per share




Basic earnings per sharewas$0.06inthe three months ended March 31,
2009,compared to$0.00inthe same period of 2008. Diluted earnings per sharewas$0.06inthe three months ended March 31,
2009,compared to $(0.01)in the same period of 2008.




Common
shares used to calculate basic and diluted EPS




The weighted average shares outstanding
used to calculate the basic earnings per sharewas30,893,757sharesin the three months ended March 31,
2009and30,142,565sharesin the same period of 2008. The weighted average shares
outstanding used to calculate the diluted earnings per sharewas30,922,261sharesin the three months ended March 31,
2009and30,298,090sharesin the same period of 2008.




Foreign
exchange





The
company operates in China and accounts in the Chinese renminbi(RMB) but reports
its financial results in U.S. dollars, based on the exchange rates of the two
currencies. The fluctuation of exchange rates during the three months ended
March 31, 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.





Cash
flow discussion




Thedecreasein cash for thethree months ended March 31,2009was $(26,759,990)compared with $12,187,924 increase in cashin the same period of 2008.
 
 Cash flow from operating activitiesin the three months ended
March 31, 2009decreased631.4percent to $(25,801,611)from $(3,527,844)in the same period of 2008,primarily due to the operating cash
outflow associated with the development of Tsining JunJing IIPhaseOne.
 
 The cashfrominvesting activitiesin the three months ended March 31,
2009was $813,922,compared with$(245,617)use of cash in the same period of2008, primarily due tothe cash acquired from Xinxing Property ManagementCo. Ltd.andtheproceedsfrom sale of fixed assets.

March 31, 2009used$(1,772,301)compared with$15,961,385 in2008, sincethe company issued the $20 millionconvertible debt and
warrants in the first quarter of 2008.
 
 In mid-2008, the company signed a RMB 1
billion (about $147 million) construction credit line agreement with China
Construction Bank to support the company’s development projects. The company has
been granted aRMB 22
million loan for the JunJing IIPhaseOneproject and expects another 22 million
loan once the JunJing IIPhase Twoproject begins.




Debt
leverage





Total
debt consists of the sum of the balance sheet lines titled Payables for
acquisition of businesses, Loans from employees, Loans payable and Convertible
debt.





Total
debt outstanding as of March 31, 2009 was $59,390,438 compared with $59,186,304
on December 31, 2008.





Net debt
outstanding (total debt less cash) as of March 31, 2009 was $48,041,477 compared
with $20,955,952 on December 31, 2008. The company's net debt as a percent of
total capital (net debt plus shareholders' equity) was 29.4 percent on March 31,
2009 and 15.6 percent on December 31, 2008. The increase in net debt as a
percent of total capital was primarily due to the payment of land use right in
the first quarter of 2009, which decreased our cash to $10.6 million at March
31, 2009 from $37.4 million on December 31, 2008.

Loans
payable





Loans
payable represent amounts due to various banks and are due on demand or normally
due within one year. 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.

following table summarizes the company's loans payable that were outstanding as
of March 31, 2009:

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 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 flow will be
available to fund our operations.




As part of our funding plan, on March 9,
2007, we entered into a ShareTransfer Agreement with the
shareholdersof
NewLand,underwhich we have acquired 32,000,000 shares of theNewLand, constituting 100 percent equity
ownership ofNewLand.




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 of approximately $14.3 million as of March 31, 2009, may change due to
market fluctuations. Currently, it is valued at our 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.


28




Foreign
Currency Exchange Rate Risk -- The Company does all its business in the People’s
Republic of China. All the revenue and profit is denominated in RMB. When RMB
depreciates, it may adversely affect the Company's financial performance.
Specifically, since the Company's recent $20 million senior convertible note
interest payment is denominated in US dollars, the depreciation of RMB may incur
additional financing cost.

Part II.
OTHER INFORMATION





Item 1.
Legal Proceedings





None for
the period covered by this report.





Item 1A.
Risk Factors.




An
investment in our company has a high degree of risk. Before you invest you
should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the
other information in this 10Q. If any of the following risks actually occur, our
business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed and the
value of our stock could go down. This means you could lose all or a part of
your investment.


Risks Related to Our
Business




Our home
sales and operating revenues could decline due to macro-economic and other
factors outside of our control, such as changes in consumer confidence and
declines in employment levels.




Changes
in national and regional economic conditions, as well as local economic
conditions where the Company conducts our operations and where prospective
purchasers of our homes live, may result in more caution on the part of
homebuyers and consequently fewer home purchases. These economic uncertainties
involve, among other things, conditions of supply and demand in local markets
and changes in consumer confidence and income, employment levels, and government
regulations. These risks and uncertainties could periodically have an adverse
effect on consumer demand for and the pricing of our homes, which could cause
our operating revenues to decline. In addition, builders are subject to various
risks, many of them outside the control of the homebuilder including competitive
overbuilding, availability and cost of building lots, materials and labor,
adverse weather conditions which can cause delays in construction schedules,
cost overruns, changes in government regulations, and increases in real estate
taxes and other local government fees. A reduction in our revenues could in turn
negatively affect the market price of our securities.


29




An
increase in mortgage interest rates or unavailability of mortgage financing may
reduce consumer demand for the Company’s homes.




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 would need in order to
purchase our homes, as well as adversely affect 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 better compete for home
buyers. A reduction in pricing could result in a decline in revenues and in our
margins.




We could
experience a reduction in home sales and revenues or reduced cash flows if we
are unable to obtain reasonably priced financing to support our homebuilding and
land development activities.




The real
estate development industry is capital intensive, and development requires
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
increased amounts of equity to be invested in a project by borrowers in
connection with new loans. The failure to obtain sufficient capital to fund our
planned capital and other expenditures could have a material adverse effect on
our business.




We are
subject to extensive government regulation which could cause it to incur
significant liabilities or restrict it business activities.




Regulatory
requirements could cause 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 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 us necessary licenses, permits and approvals could have an adverse effect
on our operations.




We may
require additional capital in the future, which may not be available on
favorable terms or at all.




Our
future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including industry and
market conditions, our ability to successfully implement our new branding and
marketing initiative and expansion of our production capabilities. We anticipate
that we may need to raise additional funds in order to grow our business and
implement our business strategy. We anticipate that any such additional funds
would be raised through equity or debt financings. In addition, we may enter
into a revolving credit facility or a term loan facility with one or more
syndicates of lenders. Any equity or debt financing, if available at all, may be
on terms that are not favorable to us. Even if we are able to raise capital
through equity or debt financings, as to which there can be no assurance, the
interest of existing shareholders in our company may be diluted, and the
securities we issue may have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior
to those of our common stock or may otherwise materially and adversely effect
the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. If we cannot obtain
adequate capital, we may not be able to fully implement our business strategy,
and our business, results of operations and financial condition would be
adversely affected. See also “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” In
addition, we have and will continue to raise additional capital through private
placements or registered offerings, in which broker-dealers will be engaged. The
activities of such broker-dealers are highly regulated and we cannot assure that
the activities of such broker-dealers will not violate relevant regulations and
generate liabilities despite our expectation otherwise.




30




We depend
on the availability of additional human resources for future
growth.




We are
currently experiencing a period of significant growth in our sales volume. We
believe that continued expansion is essential for us to remain competitive and
to capitalize on the growth potential of our business. Such expansion may place
a significant strain on our management and operations and financial resources.
As our operations continue to grow, we will have to continually improve our
management, operational and financial systems, procedures and controls, and
other resources infrastructure, and expand our workforce. There can be no
assurance that our existing or future management, operating and financial
systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our operations, or
that we will be able to recruit, retain and motivate our personnel. Further,
there can be no assurance that we will be able to establish, develop or maintain
the business relationships beneficial to our operations, or to do so or to
implement any of the above activities in a timely manner. Failure to manage our
growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and the
results of our operations and financial condition.




We may be
adversely affected by fluctuation in raw material prices and selling prices of
our products.




Our
projects and the raw materials we use have experienced significant price
fluctuations in the past. There is no assurance that they will not be subject to
future price fluctuations or pricing control. The land and raw materials we use
may experience price volatility caused by events such as market fluctuations or
changes in governmental programs. The market price of land and raw materials may
also experience significant upward adjustment, if, for instance, there is a
material under-supply or over-demand in the market. These price changes may
ultimately result in increases in the selling prices of our products, and may,
in turn, adversely affect our sales volume, revenue and operating
profit.




We could
be adversely affected by the occurrence of natural disasters.




From time
to time, our development sites may experience strong winds, storms, flooding and
earth quakes. Natural disasters could impede operations, damage infrastructure
necessary to our constructions and operations. The occurrence of natural
disasters could adversely affect our business, the results of our operations,
prospects and financial condition, even though we currently have insurance
against damage caused by natural disasters, including typhoons, accidents or
similar events.


Intense
competition from existing and new entities may adversely affect our revenues and
profitability.




In
general, the property development industry is intensely competitive and highly
fragmented. We compete with various companies. Many of our competitors are more
established than we are and have significantly greater financial, technical,
marketing and other resources than we presently possess. Some of our competitors
have greater name recognition and a larger customer base. These competitors may
be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities and customer
requirements and may be able to undertake more extensive promotional activities,
offer more attractive terms to customers, and adopt more aggressive pricing
policies. We intend to create greater awareness for our brand name so that we
can successfully compete with our competitors. We cannot assure you that we will
be able to compete effectively or successfully with current or future
competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not harm our
business.


31


Our
operating subsidiary must comply with environmental protection laws that could
adversely affect our profitability.




We are
required to comply with the environmental protection laws and regulations
promulgated by the national and local governments of the People’s Republic of
China. Some of these regulations govern the level of fees payable to government
entities providing environmental protection services and the prescribed
standards relating to the constructions. Although our construction technologies
allow us to efficiently control the level of pollution resulting from our
construction process, due to the nature of our business, waste
is  unavoidably generated in the processes. If we fail to comply with
any of these environmental laws and regulations in the PRC, depending on the
type and seriousness of the violation, we may be subject to, among other things,
warning from relevant authorities, imposition of fines, specific performance
and/or criminal liability, forfeiture of profits made, being ordered to close
down our business operations and suspension of relevant permour.
  Our
success depends on our management team and other key personnel, the loss of any
of whom could disrupt our business operations.




Our
future success will depend in substantial part on the continued service of our
senior management, including Mr. Lu Pingji, our Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, and Mr. Feng Xiaohong, our Chief Operational Officer. The loss of the
services of one or more of our key personnel could impede implementation of our
business plan and result in reduced profitability. We do not carry key person
life or other insurance in respect of any of our officers or employees. Our
future success will also depend on the continued ability to attract, retain and
motivate highly qualified technical sales and marketing customer support.
Because of the rapid growth of the economy in the People’s Republic of China,
competition for qualified personnel is intense. We cannot guarantee that we will
be able to retain our key personnel or that we will be able to attract,
assimilate or retain qualified personnel in the future.




Risk Relating to the
Residential Property Industry in China




We are
heavily dependent on the performance of the residential property market in
China, which is at a relatively early development stage.




The
residential property industry in the PRC is still in a relatively early stage of
development. Although demand for residential property in the PRC has been
growing rapidly in recent years, such growth is often coupled with volatility in
market conditions and fluctuation in property prices. It is extremely difficult
to predict how much and when demand will develop, as many social, political,
economic, legal and other factors, most of which are beyond our control, may
affect the development of the market. The level of uncertainty is increased by
the limited availability of accurate financial and market information as well as
the overall low level of transparency in the PRC, especially in Tier II cities
which have lagged in progress in these aspects when compared to Tier I cities.
The lack of a liquid secondary market for residential property may discourage
investors from acquiring new properties. The limited amount of property mortgage
financing available to PRC individuals may further inhibit demand for
residential developments.




We face
intense competition from other real estate developers.




The
property industry in the PRC is highly competitive. In the Tier II cities we
focus on, local and regional property developers are our major competitors, and
an increasing number of large state-owned and private national property
developers have started entering these markets. Many of our competitors,
especially the state-owned and private national property developers, are well
capitalized and have greater financial, marketing and other resources than we
have. Some also have larger land banks, greater economies of scale, broader name
recognition, a longer track record and more established relationships in certain
markets. In addition, the PRC government’s recent measures designed to reduce
land supply further increased competition for land among property
developers.




Competition
among property developers may result in increased costs for the acquisition of
land for development, increased costs for raw materials, shortages of skilled
contractors, oversupply of properties, decrease in property prices in certain
parts of the PRC, a slowdown in the rate at which new property developments will
be approved and/or reviewed by the relevant government authorities and an
increase in administrative costs for hiring or retaining qualified personnel,
any of which may adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Furthermore, property developers that are better capitalized than we are may be
more competitive in acquiring land through the auction process. If we cannot
respond to changes in market conditions as promptly and effectively as our
competitors, or effectively compete for land acquisition through the auction
systems and acquire other factors of production, our business and financial
condition will be adversely affected.


32


In
addition, risk of property over-supply is increasing in parts of China, where
property investment, trading and speculation have become overly active. We are
exposed to the risk that in the event of actual or perceived over-supply,
property prices may fall drastically, and our revenue and profitability will be
adversely affected.




The PRC
government may adopt further measures to curtail the overheating of the property
sector.




Along
with the economic growth in China, investments in the property sectors have
increased significantly in the past few years. In response to concerns over the
scale of the increase in property investments, the PRC government has introduced
policies to curtail property development. We believe the following regulations,
among others, significantly affect the property industry in China.




In May
2006, the Ministry of Construction, National Development and Reform Commission,
or the NDRC, PBOC and other relevant PRC government authorities jointly issued
the Opinions on Adjusting the Housing Supply Structure and Stabilizing the
Property Prices, which introduced measures to limit resources allocated to the
luxury residential market. For instance, the new measures require that at least
70 percent of a residential project must consist of units with a GFA of less
than 90 square meters per unit, and the minimum amount of down payment was
increased from 20 percent to 30 percent of the purchase price of the underlying
property if it has a unit GFA of 90 square meters or more. In September 2007,
PBOC and China Banking Regulatory Commission issued the Circular on
Strengthening the Management of Commercial Real Estate Credit Facilities, which
increased the minimum down payment for any purchase of second or subsequent
residential property to 40 percent of the purchase price if the purchaser had
obtained a bank loan to finance the purchase of his or her first
property.




In July
2006, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Commerce, NDRC, PBOC, the
State Administration for Industry and Commerce and SAFE issued Opinions on
Regulating the Entry and Administration of Foreign Investment in Real Property
Market, which impose significant requirements on foreign investment in the PRC
real estate sector. For instance, these opinions set forth requirements of
registered capital of a foreign invested real property enterprise as well as
thresholds for a foreign invested real property enterprise to borrow domestic or
overseas loans. In addition, since June 2007, a foreign invested real property
enterprise approved by local authorities is required to register such approvals
with the Ministry of Commerce.




The PRC
government’s restrictive regulations and measures to curtail the overheating of
the property sector could increase our operating costs in adapting to these
regulations and measures, limit our access to capital resources or even restrict
our business operations. We cannot be certain that the PRC government will not
issue additional and more stringent regulations or measures, which could further
slow down property development in China and adversely affect our business and
prospects.




Our sales
will be affected if mortgage financing becomes more costly or otherwise becomes
less attractive.




Substantially
all purchasers of our residential properties rely on mortgages to fund their
purchases. An increase in interest rates may significantly increase the cost of
mortgage financing, thus affecting the affordability of residential properties.
In 2007, PBOC raised the lending rates five times. The benchmark lending rate
for loans with a term of over five years, which affects mortgage rates, has been
increased to 7.83 percent. The PRC government and commercial banks may also
increase the down payment requirement, impose other conditions or otherwise
change the regulatory framework in a manner that would make mortgage financing
unavailable or unattractive to potential property purchasers. Under current PRC
laws and regulations, purchasers of residential properties generally must pay at
least 20 percent of the purchase price of the properties before they can finance
their purchases through mortgages. In May 2006, the PRC government increased the
minimum amount of down payment to 30 percent of the purchase price of the
underlying property if such property has a unit GFA of 90 square meters or more.
In September 2007, the minimum down payment for any purchase of second or
subsequent residential property was increased to 40 percent of the purchase
price if the purchaser had obtained a bank loan to finance the purchase of his
or her first property. Moreover, the interest rate for bank loans of such
purchase shall not be less than 110 percent of the PBOC benchmark rate of the
same term and category. For further purchases of properties, there would be
upward adjustments on the minimum down payment and interest rate for any bank
loan. In addition, mortgagee banks may not lend to any individual borrower if
the monthly repayment of the anticipated mortgage loan would exceed 50 percent
of the individual borrower’s monthly income or if the total debt service of the
individual borrower would exceed 55 percent of such individual’s monthly income.
If the availability or attractiveness of mortgage financing is reduced or
limited, many of our prospective customers may not be able to purchase our
properties and, as a result, our business, liquidity and results of operations
could be adversely affected.


33




In line
with industry practice, we provide guarantees to PRC banks with respect to loans
procured by the purchasers of our properties for the total amount of mortgage
loans. Such guarantees expire upon the completion of the registration of the
mortgage with the relevant mortgage registration authorities. If there are
changes in laws, regulations, policies and practices that would prohibit
property developers from providing guarantees to banks in respect of mortgages
offered to property purchasers and as a result, banks would not accept any
alternative guarantees by third parties, or if no third party is available or
willing in the market to provide such guarantees, it may become more difficult
for property purchasers to obtain mortgages from banks and other financial
institutions during sales and pre-sales of our properties. Such difficulties in
financing could result in a substantially lower rate of sale and pre-sale of our
properties, which would adversely affect our cash flow, financial condition and
results of operations. We are not aware of any impending changes in laws,
regulations, policies or practices which will prohibit such practice in China.
However, there can be no assurance that such changes in laws, regulations,
policies or practices will not occur in China in the future.




Risks Related to
China




China’s
Economic Policies could affect our Business.




Substantially
all of our assets are located in China and substantially all of our revenue is
derived from our operations in China. Accordingly, our results of operations and
prospects are subject, to a significant extent, to the economic, political and
legal developments in China.


While
China’s economy has experienced significant growth in the past twenty years,
such growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of
the economy. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to
encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these
measures benefit the overall economy of China, but they may also have a negative
effect on us. For example, operating results and financial condition may be
adversely affected by the government control over capital investments or changes
in tax regulations.




The
economy of China has been changing from a planned economy to a more
market-oriented economy. In recent years the Chinese government has implemented
measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform and
the reduction of state ownership of productive assets, and the establishment of
corporate governance in business enterprises; however, a substantial portion of
productive assets in China are still owned by the Chinese government. In
addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in
regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. It also
exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through the
allocation of resources, the control of payment of foreign currency- denominated
obligations, the setting of monetary policy and the provision of preferential
treatment to particular industries or companies.




Capital
outflow policies in China may hamper our ability to remit income to the United
States.




China has
adopted currency and capital transfer regulations. These regulations may require
us to comply with complex regulations for the movement of capital. Although we
believe that the Company is currently in compliance with these regulations,
should these regulations or the interpretation of them by courts or regulatory
agencies change; we may not be able to remit all income earned and proceeds
received in connection with our operations or from the sale of our operating
subsidiary to our stockholders.


In
addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient
foreign exchange to pay dividends or satisfy other foreign exchange requirements
in the future.


34




It may be
difficult to effect service of process and enforcement of legal judgments upon
our Company and our officers and directors because some of them reside outside
the United States.
  As our
operations are presently based in China and some of our key directors and
officers reside outside the United States, service of process on our key
directors and officers may be difficult to effect within the United States.
Also, substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States and
any judgment obtained in the United States against us may not be enforceable
outside the United States. We have appointed Lu Pingji, our Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, as our agent to receive service of process in any action
against our Company in the United States.


If
relations between the United States and China worsen, our stock price may
decrease and we may have difficulty accessing the U.S. capital
markets.




At
various times during recent years, the United States and China have had
disagreements over political and economic issues. Controversies may arise in the
future between these two countries. Any political or trade controversies between
the United States and China could adversely affect the market price of our
common stock and our ability to access U.S. capital markets.




We may
face obstacles from the communist system in China.




Foreign
companies conducting operations in China face significant political, economic
and legal risks. The political system in China, including a cumbersome
bureaucracy, may hinder Western investment.




We may
have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls
in China.




China
historically has not adopted a Western style of management and financial
reporting concepts and practices, modern banking, computer or other control
systems. We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of
qualified employees to work in China. As a result of these factors, we may
experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls,
collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account
and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western
standards.




It will
be extremely difficult to acquire jurisdiction and enforce liabilities against
our officers, directors and assets based in China.




Because
the Company’s executive officers and directors, including, the Chairman of it’s
Board of Directors, are Chinese citizens, it may be difficult, if not
impossible, to acquire jurisdiction over these persons in the event a lawsuit is
initiated against us and/or our officers and directors by a stockholder or group
of stockholders in the United States. Also, because the majority of our assets
are located in China it would also be extremely difficult to access those assets
to satisfy an award entered against it in a United States court.
  We may
face judicial corruption in the People’s Republic of China.




Another
obstacle to foreign investment in the People’s Republic of China is corruption.
There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain recourse, if desired,
through the People’s Republic of China’s poorly developed and sometimes corrupt
judicial systems.




Risks Related to Our Common
Stock




Our
common stock is currently traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The market price
of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors,
including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth,
quarterly operating results of other real estate development companies, trading
volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the
financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In
addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations.
This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities
issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance
and could have the same effect on our common stock.




35




Our
principal stockholders, current executive officers and directors own a
significant percentage of our company and will be able to exercise significant
influence over our Company.




Our
executive officers and directors and principal stockholders together will
beneficially own a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding voting
capital stock. These stockholders will be able to determine the composition of
our Board of Directors, will retain the voting power to approve all matters
requiring stockholder approval and will continue to have significant influence
over our affairs. This concentration of ownership could have the effect of
delaying or preventing a change in our control or otherwise discouraging a
potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could
have a material and adverse effect on the market price of the common stock or
prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market prices for
their shares of common stock. See “Principal Stockholders” for information about
the ownership of common by our executive officers, directors and principal
stockholders.




We do not
anticipate paying dividends on the Common Stock.




We have
never paid dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying dividends
in the foreseeable future. Our directors intend to follow a policy of retaining
all of our earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our
business.




Our
common stock could be considered to be a “penny stock.”




Our
common stock could be considered to be a “penny stock” if it meets one or more
of the definitions in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under Section 15(g)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These include but are not
limited to the following: (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per
share; (ii) it is NOT traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (iii) it is
NOT quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market, or even if so, has a price less than
$5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company with net tangible assets less
than $2.0 million, if in business more than a continuous three years, or with
average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the past three years. The
principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that
securities broker-dealers cannot recommend the stock but must trade in it on an
unsolicited basis.




Broker-dealer
requirements may affect trading and liquidity.




Section
15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 15g-2
promulgated there under by the SEC require broker-dealers dealing in penny
stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of
penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the
document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s
account.




Potential
investors in our common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure
carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be “penny stock.”
Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the
account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny
stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain
from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation,
investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine,
based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for
the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to
be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii)
provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which
the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a
signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it
accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience
and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more
difficult for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third
parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.




Shares
eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common
stock, as the future sale of a substantial amount of our restricted stock in the
public marketplace could reduce the price of our common stock.


36




From time
to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of
their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the
open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act (Rule
144), subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, a
stockholder (or stockholders whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a
one-year holding period may, under certain circumstances, sell within any
three-month period a number of securities which does not exceed the greater of 1
percent of the then outstanding shares of common stock or the average weekly
trading volume of the class during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale.
Rule 144 also permour, under certain circumstances, the sale of securities,
without any limitations, by a non-affiliate of our company that has satisfied a
two-year holding period. Any substantial sale of common stock pursuant to Rule
144 or pursuant to any resale prospectus may have an adverse effect on the
market price of our securities.
