NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in US Dollars)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Sunrise Real Estate Development Group, Inc. (“CY-SRRE”) was established in the Cayman Islands on April 30, 2004 as a limited liability company. CY-SRRE was wholly owned by Ace Develop Properties Limited, a corporation, (“Ace Develop”), of which Lin Chi-Jung, an individual, is the principal and controlling shareholder. Shanghai Xin Ji Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SHXJY”) was established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on August 14, 2001 as a limited liability company. SHXJY was originally owned by a Taiwanese company, of which the principal and controlling shareholder was Lin Chi-Jung. On June 8, 2004, all the fully paid up capital of SHXJY was transferred to CY-SRRE. On June 25, 2004 SHXJY and two individuals established a subsidiary, namely, Suzhou Xin Ji Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SZXJY”) in the PRC, at which point in time, SHXJY held a 90% equity interest in SZXJY. On December 24, 2004, SHXJY acquired 85% of equity interest in Beijing Xin Ji Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“BJXJY”), a PRC company incorporated on April 16, 2003 with limited liability. On August 9, 2005, SHXJY sold a 10% equity interest in SZXJY to a company owned by a director of SZXJY, and transferred a 5% equity interest in SZXJY to CY-SRRE. Following the disposal and the transfer, CY-SRRE effectively held an 80% equity interest in SZXJY. On November 24, 2006, CY-SRRE, SHXJY, a director of SZXJY and a third party established a subsidiary, namely, Suzhou Shang Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SZSY”) in the PRC, with CY-SRRE holding a 12.5% equity interest, SHXJY holding a 26% equity interest and the director of SZXJY holding a 12.5% equity interest in SZSY. At the date of incorporation, SRRE and the director of SZXJY entered into a voting agreement that SRRE is entitled to exercise the voting right in respect of his 12.5% equity interest in SZSY. Following that, SRRE effectively holds 51% equity interest in SZSY. On September 24, 2007, CY-SRRE sold a 5% equity interest in SZXJY to a company owned by a director of SZXJY. Following the disposal, CY-SRRE effectively holds 75% equity interest in SZXJY. On November 1, 2007, SZXJY established a wholly owned subsidiary, Suzhou Xin Ji Yang Real Estate Brokerage Company Limited (“SZXJYB”) in the PRC as a limited liability company. On May 8, 2008, SHXJY established a wholly owned subsidiary, Kunshan Shang Yang Real Estate Brokerage Company Limited (“KSSY”) in the PRC as a limited liability company.

LIN RAY YANG Enterprise Ltd. (“LRY”) was established in the British Virgin Islands on November 13, 2003 as a limited liability company. LRY was owned by Ace Develop, Planet Technology Corporation (“Planet Tech”) and Systems & Technology Corporation (“Systems Tech”). On February 5, 2004, LRY established a wholly owned subsidiary, Shanghai Shang Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SHSY”) in the PRC as a limited liability company. On January 10, 2005, LRY and a PRC third party established a subsidiary, Suzhou Gao Feng Hui Property Management Company Limited (“SZGFH”), in the PRC, with LRY holding 80% of the equity interest in SZGFH. On May 8, 2006, LRY acquired 20% of the equity interest in SZGFH from the third party. Following the acquisition, LRY effectively holds 100% of the equity interest in SZGFH. On September 11, 2007 SHSY and other third parties established a subsidiary, namely, Suzhou Bin Fen Nian Dai Administration Consultancy Company Limited (“SZBFND”) in the PRC, with SHSY holding a 19% equity interest in SZBFND. On September 18, 2008, SHSY established a wholly owned subsidiary, San Ya Shang Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SYSY”) in the PRC as a limited liability company.

SHXJY, SZXJY, BJXJY, SHSY, SZGFH, SZSY, SZXJYB, KSSY and SYSY commenced operations in November 2001, June 2004, January 2004, February 2004, January 2005, November 2006, November 2007, May 2008 and September 2008 respectively. Each of SHXJY, SZXJY, BJXJY, SHSY, SZGFH, SZSY, SZXJYB and KSSY has been granted a twenty-year operation period and SYSY has been granted a thirty-year operation period from the PRC, which can be extended with approvals from relevant PRC authorities.

On August 31, 2004, Sunrise Real Estate Group, Inc. (“SRRE”), CY-SRRE and Lin Chi-Jung, an individual and agent for the beneficial shareholder of CY-SRRE, i.e., Ace Develop, entered into an exchange agreement under which SRRE issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to the beneficial shareholder or its designees, in exchange for all outstanding capital stock of CY-SRRE. The transaction closed on October 5, 2004. Lin Chi-Jung is Chairman of the Board of Directors of SRRE, the President of CY-SRRE and the principal and controlling shareholder of Ace Develop.

Also on August 31, 2004, SRRE, LRY and Lin Chi-Jung, an individual and agent for beneficial shareholders of LRY, i.e., Ace Develop, Planet Tech and Systems Tech, entered into an exchange agreement under which SRRE issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock to the beneficial shareholders, or their designees, in exchange for all outstanding capital stock of LRY. The transaction was closed on October 5, 2004. Lin Chi-Jung is Chairman of the Board of Directors of SRRE, the President of LRY and the principal and controlling shareholder of Ace Develop. Regarding the 10,000,000 shares of common stock of SRRE issued in this transaction, SRRE issued 8,500,000 shares to Ace Develop, 750,000 shares to Planet Tech and 750,000 shares to Systems Tech.

As a result of the acquisition, the former owners of CY-SRRE and LRY hold a majority interest in the combined entity. Generally accepted accounting principles require in certain circumstances that a company whose shareholders retain the majority voting interest in the combined business be treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the acquisition has been accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” arrangement whereby CY-SRRE and LRY are deemed to have purchased SRRE. However, SRRE remains the legal entity and the Registrant for Securities and Exchange Commission reporting purposes. All shares and per share data prior to the acquisition have been restated to reflect the stock issuance as a recapitalization of CY-SRRE and LRY.

SRRE was initially incorporated in Texas on October 10, 1996, under the name of Parallax Entertainment, Inc. (“Parallax”). On December 12, 2003, Parallax changed its name to Sunrise Real Estate Development Group, Inc. On April 25, 2006, Sunrise Estate Development Group, Inc. filed Articles of Amendment with the Texas Secretary of State, changing the name of Sunrise Real Estate Development Group, Inc. to Sunrise Real Estate Group, Inc., effective from May 23, 2006.

Figure 1: Company Organization Chart

SRRE and its subsidiaries, namely, CY-SRRE, LRY, SHXJY, SZXJY, SZXJYB, SZSY, KSSY, BJXJY, SHSY, SZGFH and SYSY are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Company.”

The principal activities of the Company are property brokerage services, real estate marketing services, property leasing services and property management services in the PRC.

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America that include the financial statements of SRRE and its subsidiaries, CY-SRRE, LRY, SHXJY, SZXJY, SZXJYB, SZSY, KSSY, BJXJY, SHSY, SZGFH and SYSY. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The functional currency of SRRE, CY-SRRE and LRY is United States Dollars (“US$”) and the financial records are maintained and the financial statements prepared in US $. The functional currency of SHXJY, SZXJY, SZXJYB, SZSY, KSSY, BJXJY, SHSY, SZGFH and SYSY is Renminbi (“RMB”) and the financial records are maintained and the financial statements prepared in RMB.

Foreign currency transactions during the period are translated into each company’s denominated currency at the exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Gain and loss resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statement of operations. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into each company’s denominated currency at period end exchange rates. All exchange differences are dealt with in the consolidated statements of operations.

The financial statements of the Company’s operations based outside of the United States have been translated into US$ in accordance with SFAS 52. Management has determined that the functional currency for each of the Company’s foreign operations is its applicable local currency. When translating functional currency financial statements into US$, period-end exchange rates are applied to the consolidated balance sheets, while average period rates are applied to consolidated statements of operations. Translation gains and losses are recorded in translation reserve as a component of shareholders’ equity.

The exchange rate between US$ and RMB had little fluctuation during the periods presented. The rates as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are US$1: RMB6.8290 and US$1: RMB6.8346, respectively.

Property, Plant, Equipment and Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

	Estimated Useful Life (in years)

Furniture and fixtures		5-10
Computer and office equipment		5
Motor vehicles		5
Properties		20

Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to the statement of operations as incurred. Additions and improvements are capitalized. When assets are disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation thereon are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

Investment property

Investment properties are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets over the estimated useful lives of 20 years.

Significant additions that extend property lives are capitalized and are depreciated over their respective estimated useful lives. Routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. The Company reviews its investment property for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an investment property may not be recoverable.

Goodwill

SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” requires that goodwill be tested for impairment on an annual basis (December 31 for us) and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of a company. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the determination of the fair value of a company. The fair value of a company is estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. This requires significant judgments including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and the determination of our weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for a company.

Revenue Recognition

Agency commission revenue from property brokerage is recognized when the property developer and the buyer complete a property sales transaction, and the property developer grants confirmation to us to be able to invoice them accordingly. The time when we receive the commission is normally at the time when the property developer receives from the buyer a portion of the sales proceeds in accordance with the terms of the relevant property sales agreement, or the balance of the bank loan to the buyer has been funded, or recognized under the sales schedule or other specific items of agency sales agreement with developer. At no point does the Company handle any monetary transactions nor act as an escrow intermediary between the developer and the buyer.

Revenue from marketing consultancy services is recognized when services are provided to clients, fees associated to services are fixed or determinable, and collection of the fees is assured.

Rental revenue from property management and rental business is recognized on a straight-line basis according to the time pattern of the leasing agreements.

The Company accounts for underwriting sales in accordance with SFAS No. 66 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (SFAS 66). The commission revenue on underwriting sales is recognized when the criteria in SFAS No. 66 have been met, generally when title is transferred and the Company no longer has substantial continuing involvement with the real estate asset sold. If the Company provides certain rent guarantees or other forms of support where the maximum exposure to loss exceeds the gain, it defers the related commission income and expenses by applying the deposit method. In future periods, the commission income and related expenses are recognized when the remaining maximum exposure to loss is reduced below the amount of income deferred.

All revenues represent gross revenues less sales and business tax.

Net Earnings per Common Share

The Company computes net earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing the net earnings available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net earnings per share recognizes common stock equivalents, however; potential common stock in the diluted EPS computation is excluded in net loss periods, as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

We continue to account for income tax contingencies using a benefit recognition model. Beginning January 1, 2007, if we considered that a tax position is 'more likely than not' of being sustained upon audit, based solely on the technical merits of the position, we recognize the benefit. We measure the benefit by determining the amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement, presuming that the tax position is examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. These assessments can be complex and we often obtain assistance from external advisors.

Under the benefit recognition model, if our initial assessment fails to result in the recognition of a tax benefit, we regularly monitor our position and subsequently recognize the tax benefit if there are changes in tax law or analogous case law that sufficiently raise the likelihood of prevailing on the technical merits of the position to more likely than not; if the statute of limitations expires; or if there is a completion of an audit resulting in a settlement of that tax year with the appropriate agency.

Uncertain tax positions, represented by liabilities on our balance sheet, are now classified as current only when we expect to pay cash within the next 12 months. Interest and penalties, if any, continue to be recorded in Provision for taxes on income and are classified on the balance sheet with the related tax liability.

Historically, our policy had been to account for income tax contingencies based on whether we determined our tax position to be 'probable' under current tax law of being sustained, as well as an analysis of potential outcomes under a given set of facts and circumstances. In addition, we previously considered all tax liabilities as current once the associated tax year was under audit.

Segment information

The Company believes that it operates in one business segment. Management views the business as consisting of several revenue streams; however it is not possible to attribute assets or indirect costs to the individual streams other than direct expenses.

NOTE 3 - PROMISSORY DEPOSITS

We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including but not limited to our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which discusses our business in greater detail.

In this report we make, and from time to time we otherwise make, written and oral statements regarding our business and prospects, such as projections of future performance, statements of management’s plans and objectives, forecasts of market trends, and other matters that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Some of these important factors, but not necessarily all important factors, include those relating to our ability to raise money and grow our business, and potential difficulties in integrating new acquisitions with our current operations, especially as they pertain to foreign markets and market conditions. Please also refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

OVERVIEW

In October 2004, the former shareholders of Sunrise Real Estate Development Group, Inc. (Cayman Islands) (“CY-SRRE”) and LIN RAY YANG Enterprise Ltd. (“LRY”) acquired a majority of our voting interests in a share exchange. Before the completion of the share exchange, SRRE had no continuing operations, and its historical results would not be meaningful if combined with the historical results of CY-SRRE, LRY and their subsidiaries.

As a result of the acquisition, the former owners of CY-SRRE and LRY hold a majority interest in the combined entity. Generally accepted accounting principles require in certain circumstances that a company whose shareholders retain the majority voting interest in the combined business be treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the acquisition has been accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” arrangement whereby CY-SRRE and LRY are deemed to have purchased SRRE. However, SRRE remains the legal entity and the Registrant for Securities and Exchange Commission reporting purposes. The historical financial statements prior to October 5, 2004 are those of CY-SRRE and LRY and their subsidiaries. All equity information and per share data prior to the acquisition have been restated to reflect the stock issuance as a recapitalization of CY-SRRE and LRY.

SRRE and its subsidiaries, namely, CY-SRRE, LRY, Shanghai Xin Ji Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SHXJY”), Suzhou Xin Ji Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SZXJY”), Beijing Xin Ji Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“BJXJY”), Shanghai Shangyang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SHSY”), Suzhou Gao Feng Hui Property Management Company Limited (“SZGFH”), Suzhou Shang Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SZSY”), Suzhou Xin Ji Yang Real Estate Brokerage Company Limited(“SZXJYB”), Kunshan Shang Yang Real Estate Brokerage Company Limited (“KSSY”) and San Ya Shang Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SYSY”) are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Company,” “our,” or “us”.

The principal activities of the Company are real estate agency sales, real estate marketing services, real estate investments, property leasing services and property management services in the PRC.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Our major business was agency sales, whereby our Chinese subsidiaries contracted with property developers to market and sell their newly developed property units. For these services we earned a commission fee calculated as a percentage of the sales prices. We have focused our sales on the whole China market, especially in secondary cities. To expand our agency business, we have established subsidiaries in Shanghai, Suzhou, Beijing, Kunshan and Hainan, and branches in NanChang, YangZhou, NanJing and ChongQing.

During the year of 2005 and 2006, SZGFH entered into leasing agreements with certain buyers of the Sovereign Building underwriting project to lease the properties for them. These leasing agreements on these properties are for 62% of the floor space that was sold to third party buyers. In accordance with the leasing agreements, the owners of the properties can have a rental return of 8.5% and 8.8% per annum for a period of 5 years and 8 years, respectively. In regards to the leasing agreements, we have negotiated with the buyers and have lowered the annual rental return rate for the remaining leasing period from 8.5% for 5 years to 5.8%, and from 8.8% for 8 years to 6%.Till the end of September 30, 2009, 54% of the buyers agreed upon the lowered rate and 16% of the buyers agreed to cancel the leasing agreements. The leasing period started in the second quarter of 2006, and the Company has the right to sublease the leased properties to cover these lease commitments in the leasing period. As of November 10, 2009, 85 sub-leasing agreements have been signed, the area of these sub-leasing agreements represented 83% of total area with these lease commitments.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active.” This FSP clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market for that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. There was no impact of adoption of FAS 157 as the Company has no financial assets or liabilities which were not classified as level I.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for nongovernmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Management does not anticipate that the provisions of SFAS No. 162 will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” (“SFAS 141R”) to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This Statement applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses, and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration. SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is in on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact of adopting SFAS 141R will depend on the nature and size of the future business combinations the Company consummates after the effective date.

FASB statement No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements- an amendment of ARB No. 51” was issued December of 2007. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The Company believes that this new pronouncement will have an immaterial impact on the Company’s financial statements in future periods.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting policies for us include revenue recognition, net earnings per common share, income taxes and segment information.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from marketing consultancy services is recognized when services are provided to clients, fees associated to services are fixed or determinable, and collection of the fees is assured..

Rental revenue from property management and rental business is recognized on a straight-line basis according to the time pattern of the leasing agreements.

All revenues represent gross revenues less sales and business tax.

Net Earnings per Common Share

Income Taxes

Segment Information

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We provide the discussion and analysis of our changes in financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, with comparisons to the historical three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Revenue

The following table shows the net revenue detail by line of business:

	Three Months Ended September 30,											Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2009		% to total		2008		% to total		% change			2009		% to total		2008		% to total		% change
Agency sales		1,262,677		24		1,561,122		63		(19	)		2,947,978		34		4,069,064		63		(28	)
Underwriting sales		3,351,684		63		-		-		100			3,351,684		39		-		-		100
Property Management		705,147		13		914,799		37		(23	)		2,275,355		27		2,368,083		37		(4	)
Net revenue		5,319,508		100		2,475,921		100		115			8,575,017		100		6,437,147		100		33

The net revenue in the third quarter of 2009 was $5,319,508, which increased 115% from $2,475,921 in the third quarter of 2008. The total net revenue of the first three quarters of 2009 was $8,575,017, which increased 33% from $6,437,147 of the first three quarters of 2008. In the third quarter of 2009, agency sales represented 24% of the total net revenue and underwriting sales represented 63% and property management represented 13%. In the first three quarters of 2009, agency sales represented 34% of the total net revenue and underwriting sales represented 39% and property management represented 27%. The increase in net revenue in the third quarter and first three quarters of 2009 was due to the recognition of the underwriting sales revenue.

Agency sales

In the third quarter and first three quarters of 2009, 24% and 34%, respectively, of our net revenue was due to agency sales. As compared with same period in 2008, net revenue of agency sales in the third quarter and first three quarters of 2009 decreased 19% and 28% respectively.

Because of our diverse market locations, the current macro economic policies had little impact on our agency sales business, and we are seeking stable growth in our agency sales business in 2009. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.

Underwriting Sales

In February 2004, SHSY entered into an agreement to underwrite an office building in Suzhou, known as Suzhou Sovereign Building. Being the sole distribution agent for this office building, SHSY committed to a sales target of $56.53 million. Property underwriting sales are comparatively a higher risk business model compared to our pure commission based agency business. Under this higher risk business model, the Underwriting Model, our commission is not calculated as a percentage of the selling price; instead, our commission revenue is equivalent to the price difference between the final selling price and underwriting price. We negotiate with a developer for an underwriting price that is as low as possible, with the guarantee that all or a majority of the units will be sold by a specific date. In return, we are given the flexibility to establish the final selling price and earn the price difference between the final selling price and the underwriting price. The risk of this kind of arrangement is that if there is any unsold unit on the expiration date of the agreement, we may have to absorb the unsold property units from developers at the underwriting price and hold them in our inventory or as investments.

We started selling units in the Sovereign Building in January, 2005. As of December 31, 2006, we have achieved the sales target by selling 46,779 square meters with a total sales price of $70.45 million. However, there are still unsold properties with floor area of 314 square meters, which represents 1% of total floor area underwritten, as of December 31, 2006. As of the end of February, 2007, we have sold or acquired all of the units in the building, and we have achieved the sales target by selling 47,093 square meters with a total sales price of $75.96 million.

The Company accounts for its underwriting sales revenue with underwriting rent guarantees in accordance with SFAS No. 66 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (SFAS 66). Under SFAS 66, the deposit method should be used for the revenue from the sales of floor space with underwriting rent guarantees until the revenues generated by sub-leasing properties exceed the guaranteed rental amount due to the purchasers. Based on this accounting principle, a significant portion of underwriting revenue was deferred. In early 2009, the Company negotiated the rental payments with purchasers. As of September 2009, over two thirds of the purchasers signed the new agreement with lower rent guarantees. Based on the new agreement, significant portion of underwriting sales can be realized. In the third quarter of 2009, $3,351,684 of underwriting revenue was recognized.

Property Management

We expect that the income from the sub-leasing business will be on a stable growth trend in 2009 and that it can cover the lease commitments in the leasing period as a whole. However there can be no assurance that we will achieve these objectives.

Cost of Revenue

The following table shows the cost of revenue detail by line of business:

	Three Months Ended September 30,											Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2009		% to total		2008		% to total		% change			2009		% to total		2008		% to total		% change
Agency sales		603,755		31		828,553		57		(27	)		1,140,441		27		2,366,146		49		(52	)
Underwriting sales		783,630		40		-		-		100			783,630		18		-		-		100
Property Management		557,366		29		613,764		43		(9	)		2,327,881		55		2,431,633		51		(4	)
Cost of revenue		1,944,751		100		1,442,317		100		35			4,251,952		100		4,797,779		100		(11	)

The cost of revenue of the third quarter of 2009 was $1,944,751, which increased 35% from $1,442,317 of the third quarter of 2008. The total cost of revenue of the first three quarters of 2009 was $4,251,952, which decreased 11% from $4,797,779 of the first three quarters of 2008. In the third quarter of 2009, agency sales represented 31% of the total cost of revenue and underwriting sales represented 40% and property management represented 29%. In the first three quarters of 2009, agency sale represented 27% of the total cost of revenue and underwriting sales represented 18% and property management represented 55%. The increase in cost of revenue in the third quarter of 2009 was due to the recognition in our underwriting sales. The decrease in cost of revenue in the first three quarters of 2009 was due to the decrease in our agency sales.

Agency sales

As compared with same period in 2008, net revenue of agency sales in the third quarter and first three quarters of 2009 decreased 19% and 28% respectively, and the cost of revenue in the same period decreased 27% and 52% accordingly. The main reason for the change was that in the first three quarter of 2009, our staff cost and designing fees decreased $584,673 and $491,778 respectively, compared to the same period in 2008.

Underwriting sales

The cost of underwriting sales represents selling cost, like staff costs and advertising expenses, associated to the underwriting sales.

Agency sales

When compared to 2008, the operating expenses for agency sales in the third quarter and first three quarters of 2009 increased 23% and decreased 28% respectively. The primary reason for the change was that in the third quarter of 2009, our salary expenses and commission expenses of agency sales increased $56,797 and $23,790 respectively, and in the first three quarter of 2009, staff benefits and traveling expenses decreased $50,074 and $40,487 respectively, compared to the same period in 2008.

Property management

When compared to 2008, the operating expenses for property management in the third quarter and first three quarters of 2009 decreased 88% and 32% respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses

When compared to 2008, the general and administrative expenses in the third quarter and first three quarters of 2009 decreased 51% and 43% respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In the first three quarters of 2009, our principal sources of cash were revenues from our agency sales and property management business. Most of our cash resources were used to fund our revenue related expenses, such as salaries and commissions paid to the sales force, daily administrative expenses and the maintenance of regional offices, and the repayments of our bank loans and promissory notes.

We ended the period with a cash position of $756,913 (including cash and cash equivalents of $744,970 and restricted cash of $11,943).

The Company’s operating activities provided cash in the amount of $58,648, which was primarily attributable to the increase of accounts payables.

The Company’s investing activities provided cash resources of $13,205, which was primarily attributable to the proceeds from disposal of plant and equipment

The Company’s financing activities provided cash resources of $34,180, which was primarily attributable to the advance from director and proceeds from promissory notes.

The potential cash needs for 2009 will be the repayments of our bank loans and promissory notes, the rental guarantee payments and promissory deposits for various property projects.

If our business otherwise grows more rapidly than we currently predict, we plan to raise funds through the issuance of additional shares of our equity securities in one or more public or private offerings. We will also consider raising funds through credit facilities obtained with lending institutions. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain such funds through the issuance of debt or equity that are with terms satisfactory to management and our board of directors.
