HANZHONG, CHINA – December 12, 2014 – China HGS Real Estate Inc. (NASDAQ: HGSH) (“China HGS” or the “Company”), a leading regional real estate developer headquartered in Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, China, today filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2014 ended September 30, 2014 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. An electronic copy of the Annual Report on Form 10-K can be accessed on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

 

Highlights for the Fiscal 2014

 

lTotal revenues for the fiscal 2014 were approximately $124.3 million, an increase of approximately 83% from approximately $67.8 million in fiscal 2013.

 

lFor the Company’s long-term real estate development projects, the related revenue recognized from percentage of completion method was approximately $99.6 million, which accounted for 80% of total revenue in fiscal 2014 and increased 262% from the revenue recognized from percentage completion method in fiscal 2013.

 

lNet income for the fiscal 2014 totaled approximately $32.4 million, an increase of approximately 56% from the net income of approximately $20.8 million in fiscal 2013.

 

lBasic and diluted net earnings per share (“EPS”) attributable to shareholders for the fiscal 2014 were $0.72, compared to $0.46 for the fiscal 2013.

 

“I am pleased to report to shareholders that the Company achieved continuous growth in revenue and net profit in fiscal 2014, while the whole property sector in China is still under slow recovery,” said Mr. Xiaojun Zhu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China HGS.

 

“Looking ahead in 2015, the Company will remain focused on completing the construction of our on-going apartment complex projects. In the meantime, the Company will place an emphasis on Shanty area reform projects, which is encouraged by the central government to improve the quality of urbanization and facilitate sustained and healthy economic development. The State Council indicated in its public circular that the government will optimize investment agendas to allocate more funds for shantytown reforms and encourage financial institutions to strengthen loan support for such projects. With such fundamentals undiminished, combined with the favorable development whereby the central government has begun to allow city governments to adopt certain restrictive measures to local conditions and assist with financing for first-time home buyers, we will step up our sales efforts, diversify product development, and expect our sales revenue to steadily increase in a long run,” concluded Mr. Xiaojun Zhu.
