Item 4.02     Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

On July 25, 2011, management of Kirin International Holding, Inc. (the “Company”) concluded that the Company should file an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s original Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 1, 2011 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 7, 2011 (the “Original Report”), to restate the Combined Unaudited Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 for Hebei Zhongding Real Estate Development Corporation Limited and Xingtai Zhongding Jiye Real Estate Development Company Limited (the “Operating Companies”) filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Report (the “September 2010 Financial Statements”) due to the  errors described below.

(a)   Reclassification of revenue in excess of billings

The September 2010 Financial Statements did not properly reflect that certain payments from home buyers fell behind respective revenue recognized for purchased properties.  The difference, which should have been reflected as revenue in excess of billings under assets, incorrectly reduced customer deposits as of September 30, 2010.  The Operating Companies recalculated revenue in excess of billings as of September 30, 2010 and adjusted the customer deposits accordingly.

(b)   Reclassification of prepaid interest expenses

The September 2010 Financial Statements improperly included $492,457 financing service fees paid to Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Xingtai Branch in properties and land lots under development.  The Operating Companies reclassified this prepaid interest as prepayments.

(c)   Reversal of revenue and related cost of sales

The September 2010 Financial Statements included inaccurately recognized revenue and cost of real estate sales.  Revenue and cost of real estate sales were improperly recognized with respect to several units in the Kirin Country project for which sufficient down payments had not been received as of September 30, 2010.  Accordingly, these units did not meet all the revenue recognition criteria pursuant to ASC 360-20-40-50.  As a result, the Operating Companies reversed previously inaccurately recognized revenue and related cost of real estate sales.

(d)   Business Tax, Land Appreciation Tax, current and deferred income tax adjustments

As a result of the reversal of revenue and related cost of real estate sales discussed above, business tax payable, Land Appreciation Tax (as a part of income tax expenses), and deferred income tax expense have been adjusted accordingly.

(e)   Reclassification of liability for unrecognized tax benefit

The Operating Companies evaluated the situation that a liability calculated for the potential income tax consequence of government grant, which was previously included in income taxes payable, qualifies as an uncertain tax pursuant to ASC 740.  As a result, liability for recognized tax benefit was reclassified from income tax payable to other payables.

(f)   Separate presentation of accounts payable, and other payables and accrued liabilities

(g)   Inclusion of land use rights purchase financed by a stockholder in cash flows from operating and financing activities

The September 2010 Financial Statements previously inappropriately accounted for a purchase of land use rights financed by Mr. Guo, the beneficial owner of the Operating Companies, including the forgiveness of a government grant receivable from an equity owner controlled by Mr. Guo, as non-cash operating and financial activities.  Because the seller of the land use rights is not related to Mr. Guo or the Operating Companies, these transactions have been included in cash flows from operating activities and cash flows from financing activities, respectively.
 
 
 

 
 
The effect on the Operating Companies’ previously issued financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is summarized as follows:
