Revenues:
 
Real estate sales:

We derived our revenues predominantly from sales of our residential real estate properties.  For the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, revenues from sales of our residential real estate properties were $11,792,188 and $8,492,991, representing an increase of $3,299,197.  We recognized real estate sales revenue when all the criteria for revenue recognition have been met and the property has been delivered to buyers.  The revenue recognition for each accounting period may vary because of the progress of the construction of the real estate property and actual property delivered to buyers may change from time to time. Our sales revenue was affected by the number of unit sold and also affected by the market price increase or decrease.  For the three months ended December 31, 2010, the construction of building #1, #4 , #5 of Jinshan Liyuan Phase III have been completed and delivered to the buyers at an average sales price of RMB 2,950 per square meter, total 381 unit of residential property have been sold. . For the same period of 2009, only 329 unit of residential property were sold at an average selling price of RMB 1,913 per square meter. As a result, the number of units sold increased 15.8%, and the selling price increased 54.2%.   In addition, in terms of total areas sold, a total of 32,520 square meters were sold in 2009 and only 28,844 square meters were sold for the three months ended December 31, 2010, the total areas sold decreased 11.3% from 2009 to 2010. Accordingly, real estate sales for the three months ended December 31, 2010 increased when comparing the same period of 2009.  Revenue from real estate sales are presented in the net amount, which means sales taxes are deducted from the gross amount to get the net sales revenue. Sales tax is a one-time tariff which consists of a business tax at the rate of 5% on actual revenue. For the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we reported sales tax in connection with the real estate sales in the amount of $825,580 and $581,340, respectively.
 
In addition to real estate property sales, we also constructed and held some commercial space and basement parking lots for leasing in order to generate rental income.  Real estate properties held for lease are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. We have entered into several leasing contracts with various outside parties and leased these commercial space or parking lots for rental income. Overall, rental income is immaterial to the Company’s total revenue:

Our cost of real estate sales consists primarily of the cost of land use rights and construction costs. Costs of real estate sales are capitalized and allocated to development projects using the specific identification method. Costs are recorded based on the ratio of the sales value of the relevant units completed and sold to the estimated total project sales value, multiplied by the total project costs.
 
Land use rights costs include the premium we pay to acquire land use rights for our property development sites, plus taxes. Our land use rights costs vary for different projects according to the size and location of the site and the minimum land premium set for the site, all of which are influenced by government policies, as well as prevailing market conditions. Our land use right costs for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $910,145, representing a decrease of $118,289 or 12%, as compared to that of for the three months ended December 31, 2009.
 
We outsource the construction of all of our projects to third party contractors, whom selected through a competitive tender process. Our construction contracts provide a fixed payment which covers substantially all labor, materials, equipment costs, subject to adjustments for some types of excess, such as design changes during construction or changes in government-suggested steel prices.  As a result, our construction costs consisted primarily of the payments to third-party contractors, which are paid over the construction period based on specified milestones.  Our direct construction costs for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $2,460,949, representing a decrease of $312,868 or 11%, as compared to that of for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

Cost of real estate sales decreased $0.64 million or 15% when comparing the three months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010.  We allocate cost of real estate sales by using the specific identification method which means the total square meters of the property been sold times the average unit costs to determine the total cost of revenue.  Our unit construction costs were basically historically determined, including the construction cost, land costs, facility costs, etc. These costs are accumulated in a cost pool and are allocated to the each building and each square meter under construction and then transfer to cost of revenue when the finished goods are sold to the buyers and when revenue can be recognized. If the unit cost is relatively stable, it is the total areas sold which determines the total cost of revenue. For the three  months ended December 31, 2010, the average unit cost included in the property sold was RMB 844 (approximate to $128) per square meter, while for the same period of 2009, the average unit cost included  in the property sold was RMB 862 (equivalent to $126 ) per square meter. Unit cost increased 1.7% from 2009 to 2010. Therefore, when comparing the total cost of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, because total of 32,520 square meters were sold in 2009 and only 28,844 square meters were sold for the three months ended December 31, 2010, the total areas sold decreased 11.3% from 2009 to 2010.  When comparing the relationship between the increase of revenue by approximately 39% but cost of revenue decreased by 17.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the increase in the overall market selling price from RMB 1,913 per square meter in 2009 to RMB 2,950 per square meter in 2010, also explained the variance between the extent of sales increase and the extent of cost of sales decline.
 
Cost of real estate lease: Our cost of real estate lease consists primarily of maintenance, repairs and minor renewals.

Gross profit from our real estate business increased by $3,937,613 or 94.1% to $8,121,681 for three months December 31, 2010 from $4,184,068 for the three months ended December 31, 2009.  The increase was primary due to increased revenue from real estate sales and decrease in the cost of real estate sales as discussed above. The gross margin of our real estate business increased from 49.26% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to 68.87% for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  The increase of gross margin was principally attributed to lower construction costs per unit and the increase in sale price per square meter discussed above.
 
Selling and distribution expenses
 
Our selling and distribution expenses include:(1) advertising and promotion expenses, such as billboard and other physical advertising cost, and costs associated with our showrooms and model apartments;(2) sales commissions paid to third-party marketing firm, with which we outsourced the sales and marketing of the real estate property developed to the party.
 
Selling expense increased 613% or $127,721 when comparing the three months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010. This was because we outsourced the sales and marketing activities to Chongqing Xinshang Real Estate Consulting Firm and paid sales commissions based on 2.3% of the sales collection amount from the consulting firm.  In the same period of 2009, we were only required to pay sales commission based on 1.5% of the sales price to outside consulting firm.  As the sales commission rate increased, we paid RMB 1 million as sales commission to the consulting firm for the three months ended December 31, 2010 because the actual cash collection from this agent’s sales effort was much higher within the three months ended December 31, 2010.

General and Administrative Expenses
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2010, our general and administrative expenses were $784,504, representing an increase of $561,208 or 251.3%, as compared to that for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily a result of the $454,736 increase in consulting and legal fees to prepare for going public in the U.S.  In addition, we also incurred some general administrative expense for establishing our subsidiary Chongqing Weitai Real Estate Development Co., Ltd, Chongqing Zhaoli Real Estate Consulting Firm and Shaanxi Zhongbao Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.   during the three months ended December 31, 2010.
 
We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we expand our business and operations.  In addition, as a result of going public, we will be subsequently subject to the rules and regulations of the United States securities laws as well as corporate governance and internal controls.  Therefore, we expect to incur more cost by hiring qualified professionals who are knowledgeable about US accounting and capital market.  Our general and administrative expense may also increase due to our need for more personnel as our business continues to grow.
 
Interest Expenses
 
Our interest expense primarily related to the outstanding bank borrowings. Interest expense decreased $101,901 or 106% when comparing December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.  The decrease in the interest expense was because we had outstanding long-term bank loans of $14.4 million as of December 31, 2010, on which 100% of the interest expense has been capitalized as construction cost because the purpose of such bank loans was to be used in the construction of the project. In addition, we also received interest income of RMB 53,754 (equivalent to $7,950) which has offset the interest expense incurred for the three months ended December 31, 2010.   During the three months ended December 31, 2009, in addition to the short-term bank loans, we borrowed some short-term loans from some outside lending institutions for two or three months as working capital rather than used on the project construction, accordingly, such expense $96,515 was recorded as financial expense. When comparing the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, as more interest expense been capitalized, interest expense reflected on the income statement decreased accordingly.
 
Other expenses
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2010, we donated RMB 12 million (approximate to $1,813,058) to China Siyuan Foundation for Poverty Alleviation in order to help Three-gorges immigrants to fight against poverty and also help to green environment in the Three-gorges areas. We recorded the donation as non-operating expenses. Such non-operating expense is tax-deductible. No such expense incurred in the same period of 2009. As a result, other expense increased $1.8 million.
 
Income tax expenses
 
Income tax expense increased $373,795 or 38% when comparing December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, primarily due to increased sales revenue and taxable income for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as discussed above.
 
Net Income
 
As a result of the above factors, we reported net income of $4.03 million for the three months ended December 31 2010, as compared to net income of $2.86 million for the three months ended December 31 2009. Net income increased by $1.16 million or 40.56% for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the increase in sales revenue and decrease in cost of revenue as discussed above.

Our direct construction cost for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was $3,589,130, representing a decrease of $1.4 million or 28.2% as compared to that of for the six months ended December 31, 2009.
 
Total cost of real estate sales was $5,329,389 and $7,705,705 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, representing a decrease of $2.4 million or 30.8%.  We allocate cost of real estate sales by using the specific identification method which means the total square meters of the property been sold times the average unit costs to determine the total cost of revenue. Our unit construction costs were basically historically determined, including the construction cost, land costs, facility costs, etc. These costs are accumulated in a cost pool and are allocated to the each building and each square meter under construction and then transfer to cost of revenue when the finished goods are sold to the buyers and when revenue can be recognized. If the unit cost is relatively stable, it is the total areas sold which determines the total cost of revenue.  For the six months ended December 31, 2010, the average unit cost included in the property sold was RMB 844 (approximate to $128) per square meter, while for the same period of 2009, the average unit cost included  in the property sold was RMB 862 (equivalent to $126 ) per square meter. Unit cost increased 1.7% from 2009 to 2010. Therefore, when comparing the total cost of revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, because total of 58,971 square meters were sold in 2009 and only 42,155 square meters were sold for the six months ended December 31, 2010, the total areas sold decreased 28.5% from 2009 to 2010.  When comparing the relationship between the increase of revenue by approximately 8% but cost of revenue decreased by 32% for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the increase in the overall market selling price from RMB 1,865 per square meter in 2009 to RMB 2,787 per square meter in 2010, also explained the variance between the extent of sales increase and the extent of cost of sales decline.

Gross profit increased from 47.71% for the six months ended December 31, 2009 to 66.36% for the six months ended December 31, 2010, representing a $3.52 million increase. The increase was primarily due to increased revenue from real estate sales and decrease in the cost of real estate sales as discussed above.
 
Selling Expenses:
 
Our selling and distribution expenses include: (1) Advertising and promotion expenses, such as billboard and other physical advertising cost, and costs associated with our showrooms and model apartments; (2) Sales commissions paid to third-party marketing firm, with which the Company outsourced the sales and marketing of the real estate property developed to the party.
 
Selling expense was $404,389 and $84,551 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively, representing an increase of 378% or $319,838. This was because in 2010, we outsourced the sales and marketing activities to Chongqing Xinshang Real Estate Consulting Firm and paid sales commissions based on 2.3% of the sales collection amount from the consulting firm.  In the same period of 2009, the Company was only required to pay sales commission based on 1.5% of the sales price to the outside consulting firm.  As the sales commission rate increased, the Company paid RMB 2.48 million (approximately $0.37 million) as sales commission to the consulting firm for the six months ended December 31, 2010 because the actual cash collection from this agent’s sales effort was much higher within the six months ended December 31, 2010 . In addition, there was an increase in advertising expenses that relate to the promotion of our new completed residential buildings in 2010, advertising expense increased $4,284 or 15.7% for the six months ended December 30, 2010 as compared to the prior comparative period.
 
General administrative expense:

Our general and administrative expenses principally include:
 
(1) Staff salaries and benefits;
 
(2) Traveling and entertainment expenses;
 
(3) Professional fees, such as audit and legal fees, and
 
(4) Other associated fees.
 
General administrative expense was $1,402,929 and $541,244 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively, representing an increase of 159% or $861,685.  The increase in the general and administrative expense for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to the increased consulting fees incurred during the period. We were trying to become a public company through reverse merger with US shell company and accordingly incurred more legal, audit, and other consulting fees than prior comparative period.  For the six months ended December 31, 2010, we incurred such consulting fee of RMB 4.68 million (approximate to $698,507). No such fees for the same period of 2009. In addition, we also incurred some general administrative expense for establishing our subsidiary Chongqing Weitai Real Estate Development Co., Ltd, Chongqing Zhaoli Real Estate Consulting Firm and Shaanxi Zhongbao Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.   during the six months ended December 31, 2010.

Interest expense

Our interest expense primarily is in connection to the outstanding bank borrowings. Interest  expense was $109,236 and $288,144 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, representing a decrease of $178,908 or 62.1%.  The decrease in the interest expense was because we had outstanding long-term bank loans of $14.4 million as of December 31, 2010, on which most of the interest expense has been capitalized as construction cost because the purpose of such bank loans was to use them in the construction of our real estate projects. In order to obtain these bank loans, we were required to pay RMB 850,000 (equivalent to $125,749) as financial expense to the bank for the loans borrowed. This was the only interest expense incurred for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and it was offset by the interest income of RMB 130,430 (equivalent to $20,030)  received.  During the six months ended December 31, 2009, in addition to the short-term bank loans, we borrowed some short-term loans from some outside lending institutions for two or three months as working capital rather than used on the project construction, accordingly, such expense was recorded as financial expense. Total interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $288,144 which was much higher than in 2010.
 
Other expense:
 
For the six months ended December 31, 2010, we donated RMB 12 million to China Siyuan Foundation for Poverty Alleviation in order to help Three-gorges immigrants to fight against poverty and also help to green environment in the Three-gorges areas. We recorded the donation as non-operating expenses. Such expense is tax-deductible. No such expense incurred in the same period of 2009. As a result, other expense increased $1.8 million.
 
Income tax Expense:
 
Income tax expense was $1,806,395 and $1,573,426 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, representing an increase of $232,969 or 15%, primarily due to increased sales revenue and taxable income for the six months ended December 31, 2010 as discussed above.
 
Our company is subject to 25% of corporate income tax rate in PRC. For the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, we suffered operating losses in the amount of RMB 6,784,907 and RMB 16,048,871 respectively. For Chinese income tax purpose, these operating losses can be carried forward and be available to reduce future years' taxable income. For the six months ended December 31, 2010, we have recorded income tax provision of $1,806,395, none of it was deferred. For the six months ended December 31, 2009, we recorded income tax provisions of $1,573,426 after applying the net operating loss carry-forwards of $62,948.
 
Deferred income tax reflects the net effects of temporary difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statements purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and operating loss carry-forward.
