September 30, 2009 and 2008
Note 1 – Organization and Operations

At September 30, 2009, the Company’s operations include the consolidated operations of Wollaston Industrial Limited, Xian Jiahui Real Estate Co., Ltd., and Xin Yuan Real Estate Co., Ltd.
Wollaston was incorporated on April 21, 2005 in British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) under the International Business Companies Act, as a limited liability corporation. Wollaston owns 90.28% of Jiahui, which was established in Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province, PRC on December 17, 1996 under the Company Law of the PRC. Jiahui engages
in the business of real estate development, including sale and lease of real estate.

On June 28, 2008, the Company, through its 90.28% owned subsidiary, Xi’an Jiahui Real Estate Co., Ltd (“Jiahui”), entered into a series of agreements with Shaanxi Xin Yuan Real Estate Co. Ltd. (“Xin Yuan”), a corporation organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China, which renders the Company effective

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
|
A. |
Economic and Political Risks |
The Company faces a number of risks and challenges since its assets are located in Xi'an City, PRC, and its revenues are derived from its operations therein. The PRC is a developing country with an early stage market economic system, overshadowed by the state. Its political and economic systems are very different
from the more developed countries and are in a state of change. The PRC also faces many social, economic and political challenges that may produce major shocks and instabilities and even crises, in both its domestic arena and in its relationships with other countries, including the United States. Such shocks, instabilities and crises may in turn significantly and negatively affect the Company's performance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2009 and 2008
|
B. |
Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). This basis of accounting differs from that used in the statutory accounts of the Company, which are prepared in accordance with the "Accounting Principles of China”
("PRC GAAP"). Certain accounting principles, which are required by US GAAP, are not applicable in the PRC GAAP. The difference between PRC GAAP accounts of the Company and its US GAAP financial statements is immaterial.
The Company maintains its books and records in PRC currency "Renminbi" ("RMB"), which is determined as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the Company are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at each year end. Contributed capital accounts are translated using the historical rate of exchange when capital is injected.
Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange at the end of each calendar quarter during the year. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included in the accumulated other comprehensive income account shown in shareholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in operations.
|
C. |
Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results when ultimately realized could differ from those estimates.
|
D. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
For purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits in banks with maturities of three months or less, and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
|
E. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The carrying value of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates their fair value at September 30, 2009 due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

F. |
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets |
The Company periodically analyzes its long-lived assets for potential impairment, assessing the appropriateness of lives and recoverability of unamortized balances through measurement of undiscounted operating cash flows on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

G. |
Real Estate Projects |
The Company currently holds a majority interest in the following two building projects:
Jiahui Office Building
Jiahui Office Building (“Jiahui Building”) is a 15-story commercial office building. Construction commenced in 1998. The majority of construction was concluded in December 1999 with finished tenant improvements. This property has been available for occupancy since June 30, 2000.
The first to fourth floors are leased to a related party, the Hantang Bookstore. The 5th floor, west section of the 14th floor, the 15th floor, and the underground parking garage in the Jiahui Building are held for rental activities. All of these spaces are recorded as fixed assets, and depreciation has been provided
since July 1, 2000.
The remaining space in the Jiahui Building has been sold or placed in service as rental property.
Yangming International Tower
Yangming International Tower (“Yangming”) is a multi-functional 27-story building with mostly commercial usage.
The Company occupied the top two floors (26th and 27th floors) as its administrative offices. The 25th floor is under contract with an affiliate, Yangming Soho Commercial Flat. Commenced from January 1, 2008, the Company has added the 24th floor
to the space operating commercial flats. The 24th through 27th floor has been classified as fixed assets and depreciation have been provided according to the time they became fixed assets.
The second and third floors are leased to a related party, the Hantang Bookstore.
The remaining space in Yangming is for sale to the public.
Xin Tian Di Mall
Xin Tian Di Mall is a three level multifunctional shopping center. The Company has finished phase one construction of this project. The entire project is planned to be carried out in four phases. Approximately twenty-three percent of the phase one mall space has been sold. The units sold are
under contract with the Company to manage the

rental of these spaces. The rest of the space has been rented or is available for rent as of September 30, 2009.
|
H. |
Real Estate Project Costs |
Costs directly identifiable with real estate projects and incurred before and during construction is capitalized into “project costs,” These project costs consist of the cost of land-usage-right, preconstruction costs, construction costs, and capitalized interest costs. Costs subsequent to the completions of
construction are usually of minor amounts and are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are allocated to such portions of the project the Company uses for its operations, rental activities, as well as the portions held for sale. Allocation of costs is based on a cost-per-square-meter method.
Costs allocated to operations and rental activities are recorded as fixed assets; depreciation commences when projects change from non-operating to operating.
Costs associated with portions which are held for sale remain in project costs inventory until relevant spaces are sold.
|
● |
Land Usage Right |
All land belongs to the State in the PRC. Enterprises and individuals can pay the State a fee to obtain a right to use a piece of land for commercial or residential purposes for a period of 50 years or 70 years, respectively. The right of land usage can be sold,
purchased, and exchange in the market. The Company obtained the right to use the piece of land at which Jiahui Building is located for a period of 50 years, from 1999 to 2045, and the piece of land on which Yangming is located for a period of 70 years from 2003 to 2073. The right of land usage period for the mall is 50 years from 2005 to 2054. The cost of any land usage rights are added to the cost of each real estate project, which is then amortized over 40 years, using the straight-line
method.
|
● |
Capitalized Interest Costs |
Interest cost incurred are capitalized during the term of real estate projects, which normally begins when payments are made for land usage rights, and ends when the real estate project is substantially completed and held available for occupation.
Subsequent to completion of a real estate project, interest expenses are expensed.

I. |
Rental Costs |
Renters may decorate their rented spaces. Any disbursements made by the Company for such tenant decoration are immaterial and therefore expensed as incurred. Rental costs incurred to the marketing of rental spaces are also considered a normal part of on-going operations and are included in general and administrative
costs.
|
J. |
Revenue Recognition |
The Company derives its revenue from rental and sales of spaces. Revenue from sales of condominium units and office spaces are recognized when relevant units and spaces are available for occupancy and delivered to buyers with appropriate title documents. The Company rents unit spaces under various arrangements with related and unrelated
parties. Expiration of such rents varied from 2 to 20 years. The Company is required to pay property taxes and maintenance. Rental revenues are recognized in accordance with provisions of the various leases.
Revenue Recognition: Sale of Space
In China, the company is allowed to promote and sell the space when the construction permits are granted by the government. Therefore, pre-selling of the spaces started simultaneously with the construction. The funds from pre-selling were recorded by the company as deferred revenue.
In the meanwhile, the company secured financing from banks to carry out the construction. The interest expenses during the construction years were capitalized as the cost of construction.
Revenue is recognized when:
|
a) |
the construction has been completed, and |
|
b) |
the unit is in good condition outlined in the sales contract, and |
|
c) |
the title has been transferred to the owner evidenced by the change of official title on the space from the company to the buyer |
Revenue Recognition: Rental Income
In 2008, the rental income was from the leased space in Xi’an Jia Hui building and Yangming Building. The corresponding expenses (sales taxes, depreciation and any administrative expenses) were not separately stated on the income statement.
In 2009, the rental income consists of:

Deferred Revenue |
Deposits and advance proceeds from pre-sales of condominium units and office spaces are recorded as deferred revenue until such time when such units and/or spaces are available for occupation and delivered to buyers.
|
L. |
Income Taxes |
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in the US and the PRC,
which are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company calculates its current and deferred tax provision based estimates and assumptions that could differ from the actual results reflected in the income tax returns filed in subsequent years. Adjustments based on filed returns are records when identified.
|
M. |
Property, Plant and Equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized.
When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition.
12
CHINA PROPERTIES DEVELOPMENTS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2009 and 2008

N. |
Intangible Assets |

|
O. |
Employee Benefits |
Mandatory contributions are made to the Government's health, retirement benefit and unemployment schemes at the statutory rates in force during the period, based on gross salary payments. The cost of these payments is charged to the statement of income in the same period as the related salary cost.
|
P. |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share |
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per
share are computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There are no potentially dilutive securities
for the three months ending September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Note 10 - Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Transactions denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into United States dollars using yearend exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their
historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign currency exchange translations are included in the statements of operations and stockholder’s equity as accumulated other comprehensive income.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2009 and 2008
Prior to July 21, 2006, translation of amounts from RMB into United States dollars ("US$") has been made at the single rate of exchange of US$1.00:RMB8.277. No representation is made that RMB amounts could have been or could be, converted into US dollars at that rate. On January 1, 1994, the PRC government introduced a single rate of exchange,
quoted daily by the People's Bank of China (the "Unified Exchange Rate"). The quotation of the exchange rates does not imply free convertibility of RMB to other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People's Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the Bank of China or other institutions requires submission of
a payment application form together with supplier's invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.
On July 21, 2006, the People's Bank of China, China's central bank, announced that, beginning on July 21, 2006, China implemented a regulated, managed floating exchange rate system based on market supply and demand and with reference to a package of currencies. RMB will no longer be pegged to the US dollar and the RMB exchange rate
structure will be subject to some fluctuation.
The People's Bank of China announces the closing price of a foreign currency, such as the US dollar against the RMB, in the inter-bank foreign exchange market after the closing of the market on each working day, and will make it the central parity for the trading against the RMB on the following working day. The exchange rate
of the US dollar against the RMB was adjusted to 8.11 RMB per US dollar on July 21, 2005.
The daily trading price of the US dollar against the RMB in the inter-bank foreign exchange market will be allowed to float within a band of 0.3 percent around the central parity published by the People's Bank of China, while the trading prices of the non-US dollar currencies against the RMB will be allowed to move within a certain band
announced by the People's Bank of China.
The People's Bank of China makes adjustment of the RMB exchange rate band when necessary, according to market developments as well as economic and financial situations. The People's Bank of China is responsible for stabilizing and adapting the RMB exchange rate.
Translation adjustments resulting from the “managed floating exchange” process are included in the accumulated comprehensive income (loss) account in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity and amounted to $306K and $193K as of September 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at September 30, 2009 were translated at 6.8376 RMB to $1.00 USD as compared to 6.8551 RMB at September 30, 2008. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rate of 6.8411 RMB for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was applied to income statement accounts as compared to 6.96957 RMB for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Note 11 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-01, Topic 105- Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168-The
FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“Topic 105”). Topic 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority
of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. Topic 105 and the Codification are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became nonauthoritative. Following Topic 105, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form
of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, the FASB will issue FASB Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”), which will serve only to: (a) update the Codification; (b) provide background information about the guidance; and (c) provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. The U.S. GAAP hierarchy will be modified to include only two levels; authoritative and nonauthoritative. In the FASB’s view, the Codification
will not change U.S. GAAP. The adoption of Topic 105 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. It does, however, change the references to specific U.S. GAAP contained within the consolidated financial statements, notes thereto and information contained in the Company’s filings with the SEC.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations, or SFAS 141(R). SFAS 141(R) applies to all transactions or events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses, including those effected without
the transfer of consideration, for example, by contract or through a lapse of minority veto rights. SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the full fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction (whether a full or partial acquisition); establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; requires expensing of most transaction and restructuring costs; and requires the acquirer
to disclose to investors and other users all of the information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and early adoption is not permitted. Management does not believe that the adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No.51 , or SFAS 160. SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest
in a consolidated entity which should be reported as equity in the parent’s consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 requires a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of equity attributable to noncontrolling interests and disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of those amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests, eliminating the past practice of reporting these amounts as an adjustment in arriving at consolidated net income. SFAS
160 requires a parent to recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires the parent to attribute to noncontrolling interests their share of losses even if such attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling interests balance within the parent’s equity accounts. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and requires retroactive application of the presentation and disclosure requirements for all periods presented. Early adoption
is not permitted. Management does not believe that the adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement
under Statement 13 and FSP No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 , which collectively remove certain leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS 157 and partially delay the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a
Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active , which clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in an inactive market and illustrates how an entity would determine fair value when the market for a financial asset is not active. The adoption of FSP No. 157-1, FSP No. 157-2 and FSP No. 157-3 has no material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 , or SFAS 161. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”). SFAS 161 requires entities to provide greater transparency about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Due to the Company’s minimal use of derivative instruments, management does not believe that the adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under
SFAS 142, and applies to (1) intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets and (2) both intangible assets acquired in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP 142-3 also requires entities to disclose information for all intangible assets, recognized as of and subsequent to the effective date of FSP 142-3 to provide effects of the entity’s intent or ability to renew or extend the arrangement associated with the intangible assets on expected cash flows
associated with the intangible assets. FSP 142-3 is effective for intangible assets acquired after December 15, 2008 and early application is prohibited. Management does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities (“FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN46 (R)-8”), which amends Statement of Accounting
Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities—a replacement for FASB Statement No. 125 (“SFAS 140”) to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transferors’ continuing involvement with transferred financial assets and amends FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”) to require public enterprises, including sponsors that have a variable interest in a VIE, to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with VIEs. FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R) is effective for the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. The adoption of FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R)-8 did not impact the Company’s consolidated results of
operations, cash flows or financial position.

Executive Overview
China Properties Developments, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on September 15, 2001 under the name Bangla Property Management, Inc. (“Bangla”). In October 2005, and pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement
and Plan of Merger dated August 17, 2005, Bangla acquired Wollaston Industrial Limited (“Wollaston”), the owner of 90.28% equity interests of Xi’an Jiahui Real Estate Co., Ltd (“Jiahui”), by the issuance of 10 million shares of common stock to Wollaston’s shareholders. Bangla’s name was subsequently changed to China Properties Developments, Inc. to better reflect the business nature of the Company.
Prior to the acquisition of Wollaston, the principal business of the Company was real estate property management. Contemporaneously with acquisition of Wollaston, the Company transferred all of the common stock of Bangla Properties Inc., the Company’s then subsidiary which held all of the Company’s assets prior
to the acquisition of Wollaston, to Shawn Erickson, the Company’s then President. As a result of the Wollaston acquisition, we are now primarily engaged in the business of real estate development, including sale and lease of real estate in Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province, People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Our primary business objective has been to pursue the practice of dividing our completed development projects into discrete units and selling them to third party buyers
to generate development income. In addition, we have and will retain portions of our completed projects to earn recurring leasing income.
Wollaston was incorporated on April 21, 2004 in the British Virgin Islands. As mentioned above, Wollaston owns 90.28% of its subsidiary, Jiahui, formed under the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China. Jiahui is a sino-foreign joint venture company formed on December 17, 1996 by Xi’an Xiangrui
Real Estate Co. Ltd (Xiangrui) and American JHL Industrial Limited (JHL) in Xi’an, China. Since Jiahui is approximately 90% owned by a foreign entity, it is considered as a foreign joint venture company in PRC.
On June 23, 2008, and through Jiahui, our 90.28% owned subsidiary, we entered into a series of agreements effective as of June 1, 2008 with Shaanxi Xinyuan Real Estate Co. Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the PRC (“Shaanxi”), which we believe gives us effective control over its business. Shaanxi's
results of operations are included in the consolidated statement of operations of the Company.
Results of Operations
Revenues from the sale of building space were $0 and $78,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to revenues from the sale of building space of $4,329,000 and $28,218,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. The revenues in 2008 were due to sales of condominium units and office space in the
Yangming building while there were minimal sales of condominium units in the first nine months of 2009.
Gross profit from selling of space, defined as sales less cost of sales, was $0 and $41,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to gross profit from selling of space of $2,742,000 and $18,082,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. Cost of sales consists of costs such as construction
and labor costs. Cost of sales were $0 and $37,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $1,587,000 and $10,136,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.
We also achieved rental income of $1,475,000 and $4,265,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $2,043,000 and $2,452,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. Gross profit from rental activities, defined as rental income less rental sharing expenses, was $283,000 and $886,000
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to gross profit from rental activities of $2,752,000 and $18,501,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. Rental sharing expenses were $$1,192,000 and $3,420,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $2,033,000 and $2,033,000 for the comparable periods of the prior year.
Our operating expenses were $556,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to operating expenses of $2,713,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, operating expenses were $1,255,000 compared to $3,215,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Operating
expenses increased decreased primarily due to decreases in legal and professional fees, other general and administrative expenses and sales taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, offset by increases in selling expenses. In addition, there was a bad debt expense of $27,000 and $40,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to no bad debt expense for the first three and nine months of 2008. Depreciation
expense charged to operations was $89,000 and $266,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $111,000 and $240,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.
We had an operating loss of $273,000 and $369,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to operating income of $39,000 and $15,286,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. Such change was primarily due to minimal revenues being achieved in the first nine months of 2009
from sale of building space compared to the revenues achieved in the first nine months of 2008 from the sale of building space.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we incurred total other expense of $517,000 and $1,734,000 compared to total other expenses of $266,000 and $1,260,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. This increase in total other expense was primarily due to interest expenses of $551,000
and $1,756,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $297,000 and $1,194,000 in the prior year periods.
We incurred a comprehensive loss of $697,000 and $1,270,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to a comprehensive loss of $168,000 and comprehensive income of $14,173,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. This change was primarily due to the substantial decrease in
revenues from the sale of building space in the first nine months of 2009 compared to the prior year period.
Operations Outlook
During the next twelve months, we intend to continue to make efforts to sell and lease the remaining spaces of Yangming International Tower. In addition, and as mentioned above, on June 23, 2008, we entered into a series of agreements effective as of June 1, 2008 with Shaanxi Xinyuan Real Estate Co. Ltd. (“Shaanxi”), a corporation organized
under the laws of the PRC, which we believe gives us effective control over the business of Shaanxi. Shaanxi is 84.0% owned by Shaanxi Jiahui Group which is majority owned by by Ping’an Wu and his family, and 16.0% owned by Shuzhen Yang. Ping’an Wu is the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President and a director.
Contemporaneously with the execution of the series of agreements with Shaanxi, the Company also entered into a Termination Agreement with Shaanxi pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate and abandon the Securities Subscription Agreement entered into on June 13, 2007 pursuant to which the Company had agreed to subscribe for and purchase new treasury shares of
Shaanxi for RMB 230,000,000 (which was estimated to be approximately US$30 million at the current currency exchange rate which was subject to change), and Shaanxi had agreed to issue the shares to the Company, such that the Company would own 90% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Shaanxi after the purchase had been completed.
Our relationship with Shaanxi and its stockholders are now governed by a series of contractual arrangements entered into on June 23, 2008 between Jiahui and Shaanxi. The parties have agreed that each of the agreements shall be deemed effective as of June 1, 2008. Through these contractual arrangements, we will,
among other things, provide Shaanxi consulting and other general business operation services and we will have the ability to substantially influence Shaanxi’s daily operations and financial affairs, appoint their senior executives and approve all matters requiring stockholder approval. As a result of these contractual arrangements, which enable us to control Shaanxi, we will be considered the primary beneficiary of Shaanxi. We believe each of the contractual arrangements and the rights
and obligations of the parties thereto are enforceable and valid in accordance with the laws of the PRC.
Shaanxi is the developer of the Yan-Ta Shopping Mall project in Xi’an, China. Comprising a large urban park, a high-end shopping mall and entertainment facilities, The Yan-Ta Shopping Mall is listed as one of The City of Xi’an’s Key Projects for 2005/06. The park, already under way, will occupy 12 acres.
Below ground, a three-story shopping mall will provide 1,291,670 square feet of retail and commercial space plus 2,000 parking spaces. Designed to complement the unique characteristics of Xi’an’s historic and geographic features, the park will provide space for walking, exercising and large-scale gatherings. The northern part of the park will have an open performance platform; a large fountain will dominate the middle of the expanse; and the southern section will be plant and flower gardens. Fountains
and waterfalls with displays operated with advanced technology will be scattered throughout. Well designed lighting will keep the city night alive. This square is expected to be a landmark in Xi’an’s southern area and will be known to as a luxurious place for shopping, work and leisure. Development of Phase I of Yan-Ta Shopping Mall commenced in 2004 and occupancy began upon completion in October 2007. Development of Phase II is now scheduled to commence during 2009 with occupancy scheduled
for completion in 2011.
We believe that the foregoing transaction with Shaanxi is on terms at least as favorable as could have been obtained from an unrelated third party.
We are also actively and aggressively pursuing other real estate opportunities within Xi’an and its surrounding areas. Currently there are three specific projects that are in various stages of negotiations and planning, in addition to the Yan-Ta Project being undertaken by Shaanxi.
We cannot predict with certainty what revenues we can expect during the next twelve months, although we believe that we probably will have enough revenue, when added to our cash on hand, to pay our operating expenses, including our debt service, for the next twelve months. In addition, there can be no assurance that any
of our current or future projects will be a commercial success. However, significant capital resources will be required to fund our development expenditures. Since our performance continues to be dependent on future cash flows from real estate sales and rental income, there can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient cash flow or otherwise obtain sufficient funds from other sources to meet the expected development plans for our properties. We anticipate that we will seek
to raise additional capital to expand our operations, although we cannot guarantee that we will be able to raise that capital on terms acceptable to us or at all.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On September 30, 2009, we had working capital deficit of $2,805,000 and stockholders’ equity of $17,004,000. Also, at September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $699,000, total assets of $63,807,000 and total liabilities of $46,803,000. On September 30, 2008, we had working capital of $18,310,000 and
stockholders’ equity of $22,979,000. Also, at September 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $813,000, total assets of $65,874,000 and total liabilities of $42,895,000.
A substantial portion of our total liabilities consists of short-term and long-term bank loans and mortgages, and other amounts due to related parties. At September 30, 2009, we had short-term bank loans of $19,261,000, amounts due to related parties of $13,195,000 and mortgages payable of $1,364,000. At
September 30, 2008, we had short-term bank loans of $5,091,000 and amounts due to related parties of $12,191,000, mortgages payable of $2,209,000 and notes payable of $14,879,000.
Net cash from operating activities was $885,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, which was primarily the result of a decrease in accounts receivable of $345,000, a decrease in real estate project costs of $290,000, a decrease in other current assets of $166,000, an increase in other current liabilities of $146,000 and
deferred revenue of $1,204,000, offset by the net loss of $1,577,000 and increases in advances to officers and employees, increases in fixed assets and decreases in accounts payable. Net cash used by operating activities was $16,108,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008, which was primarily the result of net income of $14,027,000, increase in accounts payable of $2,089,000 and other current liabilities of $1,150,000, offset by decreases in real estate project costs of $28,699,000, and increases in advances to officers and employees, other current assets and a decrease in deferred
revenues.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, there was no net cash provided (used) by investing activities compared to $12,154,000 used by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 resulting primarily from the acquisition of fixed assets through business combination of $12,291,000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we had net cash used by financing activities of $191,000, which was primarily the result of loans with related parties of $529,000, loans from officers and employees of $452,000, offset by repayment of short-term bank loans of $975,000 and repayment of mortgage debt of $359,000. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, net cash provided by financing activities was $28,558,000, which was primarily the result of proceeds from business combinations of $21,906,000 and proceeds from short-term bank loans of $14,879,000, offset by loans to related parties of $9,974,000.
As mentioned above, we believe that we have sufficient revenue, when added to our cash on hand, to pay our operating expenses for the next twelve months. However, significant capital resources will be required to fund our development expenditures. We anticipate that we will seek to raise additional capital to
expand our operations, although we cannot guarantee that we will be able to raise that capital on terms acceptable to us or at all.
Other Information - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
To date, several related party transactions have taken place, in addition to the transactions described above with Shaanxi. We believe that any transactions between us and our officers, directors, principal stockholders, affiliates or advisors have been or will be on terms no less favorable to us than those reasonably
obtainable from third parties. As of September 30, 2009, there were advances to officers and employees outstanding of $2,191,000, and loans due from other related parties of $11,915,000. As of September 30, 2009, there was $13,195,000 due to related parties. As of September 30, 2008, there were advances to officers and employees outstanding of $1,241,000, and loans due from other related parties of $11,925,000. As of September 30, 2008, there was $12,191,000 due
to related parties. Loans from and to related parties represent temporally short-term loans from/to affiliates, which are majority owned and controlled by directors of the Company. These loans are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, therefore, deemed payable on demand.
We lease office and retail space to an affiliate, Shaanxi Jiahui Hantang Book Publishing Co., Ltd., which is majority owned and controlled by directors of the Company. The lease period is from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2012. The rent is $209,000 (based upon the average exchange rate of the RMB for
2009) per year and the rent is payable semi-annually.
We lease the 24th and 25th floor of the Yangming Building to a related party, Yangming Soho Commercial Flat, which is majority owned and controlled by directors of the Company. There
is no lease and no rental income has been collected from this related party. The Company estimates that annual rent, using current rental values, would be approximately $62,000 (based upon the average exchange rate of the RMB for 2009).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following is disclosure regarding recent accounting pronouncements and their effect or potential effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-01, Topic 105- Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168-The
FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“Topic 105”). Topic 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority
of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. Topic 105 and the Codification are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became
nonauthoritative. Following Topic 105, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, the FASB will issue FASB Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”), which will serve only to: (a) update the Codification; (b) provide background
information about the guidance; and (c) provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. The U.S. GAAP hierarchy will be modified to include only two levels; authoritative and nonauthoritative. In the FASB’s view, the Codification will not change U.S. GAAP. The adoption of Topic 105 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. It does, however, change the references to specific U.S. GAAP contained within the
consolidated financial statements, notes thereto and information contained in the Company’s filings with the SEC.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations, or SFAS 141(R). SFAS 141(R) applies to all transactions or events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses, including those effected without
the transfer of consideration, for example, by contract or through a lapse of minority veto rights. SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the full fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction (whether a full or partial acquisition); establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; requires expensing of most transaction and restructuring costs; and requires the acquirer
to disclose to investors and other users all of the information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and early adoption is not permitted. Management does not believe that the adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No.51, or SFAS 160. SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest
in a consolidated entity which should be reported as equity in the parent’s consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 requires a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of equity attributable to noncontrolling interests and disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of those amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests, eliminating the past practice of reporting these amounts as an adjustment in arriving at consolidated net income. SFAS
160 requires a parent to recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires the parent to attribute to noncontrolling interests their share of losses even if such attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling interests balance within the parent’s equity accounts. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and requires retroactive application of the presentation and disclosure requirements for all periods presented. Early adoption
is not permitted. Management does not believe that the adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement
under Statement 13 and FSP No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 , which collectively remove certain leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS 157 and partially delay the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset
When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active , which clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in an inactive market and illustrates how an entity would determine fair value when the market for a financial asset is not active. The adoption of FSP No. 157-1, FSP No. 157-2 and FSP No. 157-3 has no material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, or SFAS 161. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”). SFAS 161 requires entities to provide greater transparency about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Due to the Company’s minimal use of derivative instruments, management does not believe that the adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing
renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under SFAS 142, and applies to (1) intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets and (2) both intangible assets acquired in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP 142-3 also requires entities to disclose information for all intangible assets, recognized as of and subsequent to the effective date of FSP 142-3 to provide effects of the entity’s intent
or ability to renew or extend the arrangement associated with the intangible assets on expected cash flows associated with the intangible assets. FSP 142-3 is effective for intangible assets acquired after December 15, 2008 and early application is prohibited. Management does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities (“FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN46 (R)-8”), which amends Statement of Accounting
Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities—a replacement for FASB Statement No. 125 (“SFAS 140”) to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transferors’ continuing involvement with transferred financial assets and amends FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”) to require public enterprises, including sponsors that have a variable interest in a VIE, to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with VIEs. FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R) is effective for the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. The adoption of FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R)-8 did not impact the Company’s consolidated results of
operations, cash flows or financial position.
