The former Fifth Season HK’s stockholders owned a majority of common stock of the Company. The transaction was regarded as a reverse merger whereby Fifth Season HK was considered to be the accounting acquirer as its shareholders retained control of the Company after the share exchange, although Fifth Season International is the legal parent company. The share exchange was treated as a recapitalization of the Company. As such, Fifth Season HK is the continuing entity for financial reporting purpose. SEC Manual Item 2.6.5.4 Reverse Acquisitions requires that “in a reverse acquisition of historical shareholder’s equity of the accounting acquirer prior to the merger is retroactively reclassified (a recapitalization) for the equivalent number of shares received in the merger after giving effect to any difference in par value of the registrant’s and the accounting acquirer’s stock by an offset in paid-in-capital.” Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared as if Fifth Season HK had always been the reporting company and then on the share exchange date, had changed its name and reorganized its capital stock.

     
 

The consolidated interim financial information as of June 30, 2011 and for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted as permitted by SEC rules and regulations, although the management believe that the disclosures made are adequate to provide for fair presentation. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Form 8-K previously filed with the SEC on April 6, 2011.

     
 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2011, its consolidated results of operations for the three and six-month periods and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

  (b)

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Non-controlling interest represents the ownership interests in the subsidiary that are held by owners other than the parent. The non-controlling interest is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the parent’s equity and that net income or loss and comprehensive income or loss are attributed to the parent and the non-controlling interest. If losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary exceed their interests in the subsidiary’s equity, the excess, and any further losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest, is attributed to those interests.

The results of operations of reportable segment, a subsidiary or an asset group, that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale is reported in discontinued operations separately in the consolidated financial statements, if the operations and cash flows of the component have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations as a result of the disposal transaction and that the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in its operations after the disposal transaction.

  (c)

Use of estimates

     
 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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. On an on-going basis, the Group evaluates its estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant judgments and estimates include useful lives for amortization and depreciation, impairment of long-lived assets, fair value measurements, revenue recognition, deferred tax assets and liabilities, which represent critical accounting policies that reflect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The relevant amounts could be adjusted in the near term if experience differs from current estimates.

     
  (d)

Cash and cash equivalents

     
 

Cash and cash equivalents includes currency on hand and demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less.

     
  (e)

Restricted cash

     
 

Restricted cash consists of security deposits that serve as collateral for the notes payable, short-term bank loans and notes payable.

     
  (f)

Accrued straight-line rents receivable

     
 

Accrued straight-line rents receivable are recognized and carried at the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements, less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed.

     
  (g)

Trade receivable

     
 

Trade receivable are recognized and carried at original sales amounts less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed.

  (h)

Amounts due from third parties/related parties

Accounting policy of trade receivable from related parties are the same as those described in trade receivable. Other than trade receivables, amounts due from third parties/related parties are loans recognized and carried at principle and respective interest of loan after deducting accounts collected or settles, less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed. Interest income is recognized based on contractual interest rate on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective loan agreements endorsed, if applicable.

  (i)

Allowance for doubtful accounts

     
 

Accrued straight-line rents receivable, trade receivable and due from third parties/related parties are reviewed periodically as to whether they are past due based on contractual terms and their carrying value has become impaired. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which loss is determined to be probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating doubtful collection, historical experience, credit quality of customers, account balance aging and prevailing economic conditions. Receivable balances are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted.

     
 

None of the receivables of the Group are with collateral assets. No material receivable are past due over 90 days or with difficulty in collection. Therefore, no allowance or write-offs were provided for account receivable, accrued straight-line rents receivable or due from third parties/related parties as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

     
  (j)

Inventories

     
 

Inventories consist of goods purchased, which are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using weighted average method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to dispose.

     
 

Where there is evidence that market value of inventories, in their disposal in the ordinary course of business, will be less than cost, whether due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes, a provision is accrued for the difference with charges to cost of goods sold. No provision was provided for the inventory as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

     
  (k)

Real estate and related assets

     
 

Real estate and related assets are recorded at cost and stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Renovations, replacements and other expenditures that improve or extend the life of assets are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

     
 

Construction in progress represents capital expenditure in respect of direct costs of construction and design fees of renovations or replacements incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to tenant improvement when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. Construction in progress is not depreciated.

     
 

Depreciation of real estate and related assets is calculated using the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual value) over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:


      Years     Residual value  
  Commercial properties   30     5%  
  Tenant improvements   5     Nil  
  Office equipment and furniture   3-5     5%  
  Motor vehicles   4-5     5%

Notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements

Upon the acquisition of real estate assets, the Group allocates the purchase price of real estate to the acquired tangible assets and liabilities based on each case on the fair value of acquired tangible assets such as buildings and tenant improvements, intangible assets such as above and below market leases, acquired in-place leases, customer relationships and other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities. Except for buildings, no other tangible assets or intangible assets were identified when acquiring the real estate assets for the period ended June 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively.

  (l)

Foreign currency translation and transactions

     
 

The functional currencies of the Company is U.S Dollar (or “US$”), and its subsidiaries in the PRC and Hong Kong are the Renminbi (“RMB”) and Hong Kong dollar (“HKD”), respectively.

     
 

At the date a foreign currency transaction is recognized, each asset, liability, revenue, expense, gain, or loss arising from the transaction is measured initially in the functional currency of the recording entity by use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. The increase or decrease in expected functional currency cash flows upon settlement of a transaction resulting from a change in exchange rates between the functional currency and the currency in which the transaction is denominated is recognized as foreign currency transaction gain or loss that is included in determining net income for the period in which the exchange rate changes. At each balance sheet date, recorded balances that are denominated in a foreign currency are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate.

     
 

The Group incurred foreign currency exchange gain of US$ 13,019 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and exchange loss of US$ 264,196 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

     
 

Meanwhile, the Group incurred foreign currency exchange gain of US$ 8,063 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and exchange loss of US$ 14,992 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

     
 

The Group’s reporting currency is U.S Dollar. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries in the PRC and Hong Kong are translated to the reporting currency at the current exchange rate at the balance sheet dates, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the reporting periods. Translation adjustments are reported in other comprehensive income.

     
  (m)

Contingencies

     
 

In the normal course of business, the Group is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations, service liability, and tax matters. The Group records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Group has not experienced any material government or tax authority investigation or service liability claims except for those disclosed in Note 19.

     
  (n)

Appropriated retained earnings

     
 

The income of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries is distributable to its stockholders after transfer to reserves as required by relevant PRC laws, regulations and the articles of association. As stipulated by the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, these PRC subsidiaries are required to maintain reserves which are non-distributable to shareholders. Appropriations to the reserves are approved by the respective boards of directors.

     
 

Reserves include statutory reserves and discretionary reserves. Statutory reserves can be used to make good previous years’ losses, if any, and may be converted into capital in proportion to the existing equity interests of stockholders, provided that the balance after such conversion is not less than 25% of the registered capital. The appropriation of statutory reserve may cease to apply if the balance of the fund is equal to 50% of the entity’s registered capital. Pursuant to relevant PRC laws and articles of association of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, the appropriation to the statutory reserves and other reserves is 10% of net profit after deducting accumulated deficit, if any, of respective entity, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP might differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries.

  (o)

Revenue recognition

     
 

Sales of goods

     
 

The Group recognizes revenue from sales of various goods when all of the following criteria exist: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

     
 

Delivery does not occur until goods have been shipped to the customers, risk of loss has transferred to the customers and customers’ acceptance has been obtained, or the Group has objective evidence that the criteria specified in customers’ acceptance provisions have been satisfied. The sales price is not considered to be fixed or determinable until all contingencies related to the sale have been resolved. Certain credit terms and limits were granted to customers with low risk of collectability based on the Group’s credit assessment. Historically, no material collectability problem has occurred. Revenue is recognized when delivery occurs and collectability is reasonably assured.

     
 

In the PRC, value added tax (the “VAT”) of generally 17% on invoice amount is collected in respect of the sales of goods against the customers on behalf of tax authorities. The VAT collected is not revenue of the Group; instead, the amount is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet until such VAT is paid to the authorities.

     
 

Rental revenue

     
 

Minimum contractual rental from leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. With respect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenue recognized for the period. Straight-line rental revenue commences when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straight-line rents receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. Contingent rental revenue, such as percentage rent on sale volume of tenant, is accrued when the contingency is removed.

     
 

Service income

     
 

The Group provides consulting services for third-party property owners who wish to sell or lease commercial properties in exchange for consulting services on the sale or lease of such properties. Consulting service income is recognized when the services are rendered.

     
 

The Group’s PRC subsidiaries are subject to business tax 5% for their revenues from straight-line rental and consulting service, which are recognized after net off business tax.

     
  (p)

Advertising expenses

     
 

Advertising expenses, which generally represent the cost of promotions to create or stimulate a positive image of the Group or a desire to lease the commercial properties, are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounting to US$138,024 and US$192,716 for the 6 months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were recorded in the selling expenses. Meanwhile, advertising costs amounting to US$116,707 and US$75,450 for the 3 months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were recorded in the selling expenses.

     
  (q)

Defined contribution plan

     
 

Full-time employees of the Group participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan, pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to the employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the Group makes contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries. The Group has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions made.

- 11 -


FIFTH SEASON INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements

The total amounts for such employee benefits, which were expensed as incurred, were approximately US$430,341 and US$262,478 for the 6 months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, while approximately US$238,395 and US$160,292 for the 3 months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

  (r)

Income tax

     
 

In the PRC, the taxable net income of one subsidiary is not allowed to be offset by the tax loss incurred in another subsidiary within the consolidated financial statements.

     
 

The Group recognizes deferred income tax for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

     
 

The Group follows a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Group recognizes interest on non-payment of income taxes under requirement by tax law and penalties associated with tax positions when a tax position does not meet the minimum statutory threshold to avoid payment of penalties. According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or the withholding agent. The statute of limitations is extended to five years under special circumstances, where the underpayment of taxes is more than RMB 100,000. In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is ten years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion. The tax returns of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities. The Group did not have any material interest or penalties associated with tax positions and did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 respectively.

     
  (s)

Earnings per share (“EPS”)

     
 

Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stock holders by the weighted average number of common stocks outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stocks. The Company has no potential dilutive instruments and, accordingly, basic loss and diluted loss per share are equal.

     
  (t)

Comprehensive income

     
 

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. All items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are reported in the consolidated financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. During the periods presented, the Group’s comprehensive income represents its net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

     
  (u)

Segment reporting

     
 

The internal reporting structure used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance is used as the source for presenting the Group’s reportable segments. The Group categorizes its operations into two business segments: trading and commercial properties leasing.

     
 

As the Group generates all of its revenues from customers in the PRC, no geographical segments are presented.

     
  (v)

Fair value measurements

     
 

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accrued straight-line rents receivable, trade receivable, prepayments and other receivables, due from related parties, short-term loans, advance from customers, accounts payable, other payables and amount due to related parties. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

- 12 -


FIFTH SEASON INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements

The Group adopted ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

The Group maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs are used to measure fair value:

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

  (w)

Recently issued accounting standards affecting the Group

     
 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “’ Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”, which is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

     
 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has two options for presenting its total comprehensive income: to present total comprehensive income and its components along with the components of net income in a single continuous statement, or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in this ASU are required to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company intends to conform to the new presentation required in this ASU beginning with its Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2012.


4.

CONCENTRATION OF RISK

   

Concentration of credit risk

   

Assets that potentially subject the Group to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accrued straight-line rents receivable, trade receivable. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, all of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents were deposited in financial institutions located in the PRC and Hong Kong, which management believes are of high credit quality. Trade receivable and accrued straight-line rents receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers in the PRC. The risk with respect to accrued straight-line rents receivable and trade receivable are mitigated by credit evaluations the Group performs on its customers and its ongoing monitoring process of outstanding balances.

FIFTH SEASON INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Concentration of customers and suppliers

A summary of the customers in the segment of trading business, who accounted for 10% or more of the Group’s consolidated revenues for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

      Six months ended June 30,     Three months ended June 30  
      2011     2010     2011     2010  
      (Unaudited)     (Unaudited)     (Unaudited)     (Unaudited)  
  Customer A   38%     *     27%     *  
  Customer B   24%     *     32%     *  
  Customer C   17%     *     21%     *  
  Customer D   *     60%     *     91%  
  Customer E   *     16%     *     *  
  Total   79%     76%     80%     91%  

In other segments, there are no revenues from any customers for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 which individually represent greater than 10% of the total revenue.

The above customers accounted for 71% and 67% of accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

The Group had three major suppliers that accounted for 71% of the total purchase of goods for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and three major suppliers that accounted for 92% of the total purchase of goods for six months ended June 30, 2010.

Meanwhile, the Group had three major suppliers that accounted for 76% of the total purchase of goods for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and one major suppliers that accounted for 96% of the total purchase of goods for three months ended June 30, 2010.

The above suppliers accounted for 70% and 7% of accounts payable balance as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Current vulnerability due to certain other concentrations

The Group’s operations may be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than 30 years, no assurance can be given that the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC’s political, economic and social conditions. There is also no guarantee that the PRC government’s pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective.

The Group transacts all of its business in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. On January 1, 1994, the PRC government abolished the dual rate system and introduced a single rate of exchange as quoted daily by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”). However, the unification of the exchange rates does not imply that RMB may be readily convertible into US$ or other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the PBOC or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.

Additionally, the value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the PRC foreign exchange trading system market.

BUSINESS COMBINATION

On March 31, 2011, pursuant to the terms of the Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated February 28, 2011, by and among Shandong TFS and two original individual stockholders of Longyun, the Group completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity interest of Longyun (the “Acquisition”). The total consideration was RMB58 million, approximately US$8,846,160, in cash.

Longyun is primarily engaged in the marketing and trading of goods, and plans to expand its business to the management and leasing of commercial properties. As a result of the Acquisition, the Group has enhanced its trading business in the near term and expects to enhance its real estate business when Longyun expands to the management and leasing of commercial properties.

Fair Value Determination and Allocation of Consideration Transferred

For the Acquisition, the Group was obligated to pay a consideration of RMB58 million (approximately $8,846,000) in cash in exchange for 100% equity interest and assumed US$3.2 million of debt of the acquired business. As of June 30, 2011, the Group had paid Rmb48 million to the original stockholders of Longyun. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and Longyun was included in the Group's consolidated financial statements from the Acquisition date of March 31, 2011. With the assistance of an independent third-party valuation specialist, management reassessed the fair value of the major assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and concluded that a bargain purchase gain amounting to approximately US$7.1 million resulted from the Acquisition. Accordingly, the Group recognized the gain as a component of other income in the consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Management believes that the Group was able to negotiate a bargain purchase price as a result of the prevailing economic environment and its access to the liquidity necessary to complete the Acquisition.

The allocation of purchase price to identifiable tangible assets and assumed liabilities has not yet been finalized. As such, the estimate is subject to change once the Company makes a final determination of the fair value of tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which will be completed within one year from the acquisition date.

The following summarizes the consideration paid for the Acquisition, and the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date:

      Acquisition  
      (in thousands)  
         
      (Unaudited)  
                 Cash and cash equivalents $  1,595  
                 Trade receivables   108  
                 Inventory   115  
                 Tangible non-current assets   22,923  
                 Other assets   33  
  Total assets acquired   24,774  
         
                 Current liabilities   3,237  
                 Deferred tax liability   5,575  
  Total liabilities assumed   8,812  
  Net identifiable assets acquired   15,962  
  Less: cash consideration transferred   8,846  
  Gain on business combination $  7,116  

Tangible non-current assets acquired during the transaction mainly include commercial properties of which the fair value is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. With the assistance of an independent valuation specialist, the management adopted the market approach, which rests on the wide acceptance of market transactions as the best indicator and pre-supposes that evidence of relevant transactions in the market place can be extrapolated to similar properties, subject to allowances for variable factors. The Group’s management believes the resulting valuation reflects the best estimates at the date when the valuations were performed.

Significant components of the Group's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

      June 30,     December 31,  
      2011     2010  
               
      (Unaudited)        
  Deferred tax assets:            
     Tax loss carryforwards $  2,203,160   $  748,458  
     Accrued rental expense and other related costs   491,146     365,983  
   Total   2,694,306     1,114,441  
   Less: valuation allowance   (137,897 )   -  
   Deferred tax assets, net   2,556,409     1,114,441  
  Deferred tax liabilities:            
  Effect of differences between assigned value of property and their tax basis   12,994,152     6,942,528

      13,669,830     7,277,930  
  Net deferred tax liabilities $  11,113,421   $  6,163,489  

The Company’s RPC subsidiaries have tax loss carryforwards available amounting to approximate US$0.1 million, US$2.4 million and US$6.5 million, which begin to expire in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively, if unused by the offset of future taxable income of the individual subsidiaries.

The Group believes that the remaining tax loss carryforwards from Fifth Season HK amounting to US$0.83 million is unlikely be deductable in the future years and therefore the corresponding deferred tax assets were recognized with full allowance provided The Company has cumulative undistributed earnings of approximately $11,452,895 as of June 30, 2011, is included in consolidated retained earnings and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in its operations in PRC. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. deferred taxes related to future repatriation of these earnings, nor is it practicable to estimate the amount of income taxes that would have to be provided if The Company concluded that such earnings will be remitted in the future.

SEGMENT FINANCIAL INFORMATION

   

The Group determines segments based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance.

   

The Group's operations are mainly classified into two principal reportable segments that provide different products or services: commercial properties leasing, and the purchase and sale of goods, which we refer to as trading. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different marketing, operation, and technology strategies.

   

Accounting policies of the transactions between segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Performance is measured by various factors such as segment revenue and segment profit. Individual segment assets are not measurement reviewed by management. All corporate expenses and income tax expenses are allocated to the segments.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

   

Management of the Group has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the consolidated financial statements and identified the following subsequent events:

   

Our subsidiary, the Fifth Season Liyang Investment Management Co., Ltd is a defendant in a lawsuit filed in Liyang People’s Court by one of its lessees, Liyang Shenzhou Yicang Co., Ltd, for alleged breach of contract. The Group then filed a countersuit against the lessee for alleged breach of contract. On July 21, 2011, the case was adjudicated with the following results. On one hand, the lessee prevailed in its original claim and the Group was ordered to pay actual and punitive damages totaling about US$650,000. On the other hand, Group prevailed in its counterclaim and the lessee was and was ordered to pay the Group a default payment totaling about US$650,000. As a result, the the case had minimal, if any, impact on the Group.

   

In June 2011, we entered into an equity transfer agreement to sell the Fifth Season Shandong Trade Co., Ltd, one of the subsidiaries in our trading operation to Mr. Huaiqu Wen and Mr. Dacheng Rao for RMB10,000,000 (approximately $1.5 million) in cash.

Revenue: We generate revenue primarily from the leasing of commercial properties and the wholesale of various goods, as well as from some online sales of consumer products. Our revenue increased $69 million, or 1600.5%, to $73 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $4 million for the same period in 2010. The growth was mainly due to the development of our businesses, through our acquisition of new trade customers, such as Shanghai Rongkun Trade Co., Ltd., Shanghai Tongli Metal Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Senhong Metal Co., Ltd. to increase trade revenue, and by the establishment and acquisition of new subsidiaries such as TFS Binzhou and Zibo Lomo, and the acquisition of commercial properties to boost leasing income.

Revenue from our commercial properties leasing segment increased by 56%, to $0.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $0.58 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenues from the increasing occupancy rate of Shanghai Jiadu; contribution from Wuxi TFS which started its business in late 2010 and from Zibo Lomo which was acquired in late 2010.

Revenue from our trading and other segments increased by 1840% to $72 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $3.7 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to management’s continuing efforts to develop new customers and strengthen our management of suppliers to reduce purchasing costs and enhance competitiveness.

Cost of Revenue: Our cost of revenue includes expenses applicable to our real estate operation segment, cost of goods sold for our trading segment and other expenses relating to our online sales. Our cost of revenue increased $68 million , or 1620.7%, to $72 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $4 million for the same period in 2010. The increase was in line with the increase of total revenue.

Rental property expenses are expenses associated with our ownership and operation of rental properties and include expenses that vary somewhat proportionately to occupancy levels, such as common area maintenance and utilities, and expenses that do not vary based on occupancy, such as property taxes. Depreciation and amortization is a non-cash expense associated with the ownership of real property and generally remains relatively consistent each year, unless we buy, place in service or sell assets, since we depreciate our properties and related building and tenant improvement assets on a straight-line basis over a useful life. Expenses applicable to our real estate operation segment decreased by 21.6% to $0.46 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $0.59 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in rental expense and other related costs resulting from two floors of Wuxi’s rental properties being reclaimed by the property owner.

Cost of goods sold for our trading segment includes the cost of purchase of goods. Cost of goods sold increased by 1889.1% to $71.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $3.6 million in the same period last year. Such increase was generally in line with the increase in sales from our trading segment.

Gross Profit and Margin: Gross profit increased by $0.9 million, or 842.6%, to $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $0.1 million for the same period in 2010.

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was 1.4% and 2.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Our gross profit in the real estate operation segment was $0.44 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $0.45 million from the net loss of 0.01 million for the same period in 2010. Such change was primarily due to establishment of new subsidiaries such as TFS Binzhou, and effective market strategies to boost leasing income.

Gross margin for our trading segment was 0.85% and 3.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Such decrease was primarily due to lower sales prices offered to new customers during our efforts to develop business in 2011.

- 31 -


Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our sales staff, advertising expenses, business travel, transportation costs and other sales related costs. Our selling and marketing expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $448,378, from $251,785 in the same 2010 period, representing a 78.1% increase year-over-year. The increase was mainly due to an increase in staff costs and advertising expense caused by the development of our business.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses, net of amounts capitalized, consist primarily of management and employee salaries and other personnel costs and corporate overhead. Our administrative expenses increased $0.7 million, or 164%, to $1.2illion in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $0.4 million in the same period in 2010. The increase was mainly due to the increase in professional expense, staff costs, office building rental expense and other administrative expenses as a result of recent completed acquisitions and the establishment of subsidiary companies in late 2010.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $2.1 million, or 7488%, to $2.12 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $0.02 million in the same period in 2010, primarily due to more borrowings and loans during the 2011.

Income Taxes. Our income taxes increased by approximately $0.41 million, or 277%, to $0.56 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $0.15 million in the same period of 2010. The increase was due to the combined effect of recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Net Loss. In the three months ended June 30, 2011, we suffered a net loss of $2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $1.55 million from a net loss of $0.44 million in the same period last year, as a result of the factors described above.

Revenue. Our revenue increased to $100 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $14 million in the same period last year, representing a 608% growth year-over-year.

Revenue from our commercial properties leasing segment increased by 132%, to $2.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $0.9 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to $0.9 million in revenues from the increasing occupancy rate of Shanghai Jiadu; a $0.1 million contribution from Wuxi TFS which started its business in late 2010; and a $0.1 million contribution from Zibo Lomo which was acquired in late 2010.

Revenue from our trading and other segments increased by 638% to $97.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $13.3 million in the same period last year.

Expenses applicable to our real estate operation segment increased by 191% to $1.68 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $0.9 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to the increase in depreciation expense, rental expense and other related costs resulting from our recent business acquisition activities and the contribution of our subsidiaries established in late 2010.

Cost of goods sold for our trading segment includes the cost of purchase of goods. Cost of goods sold increased by 652.3% to $96.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $12.9 million in the same period last year. Such increase was generally in line with the increase in sales from our c trading segment. 

Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Our gross profit increased by $1.2 million, or 296.5%, to $1.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $0.4 million in the same period in 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was 1.5% and 2.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Our gross profit in the real estate operation segment was 0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 0.3 million from the net loss of 0.02 million for the same period in 2010. Such change was primarily due to the establishment of new subsidiaries such as TFS Binzhou, and effective market strategies to boost leasing income.

Gross margin for our wholesale of trading segment was 1.3% and 3.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Such decrease was primarily due to lower sales prices offered to new customers during our efforts to develop business in 2011.

Selling Expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $668,076, from $468,161 in the same 2010 period, representing a 42.7% increase year-over-year. The increase was mainly due to an increase in staff costs and advertising expense caused by the development of our business.

General and Administrative Expenses. Our administrative expenses increased $1.4 million, or 131%, to $2.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $1.1 million in the same period in 2010. The increase was mainly due to the increase in professional expense, staff costs, office building rental expense and other administrative expenses as a result of recent completed acquisitions and the establishment of subsidiary companies in late 2010.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $4.1 million, or 2363%, to $4.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $0.2 million in the same period in 2010, primarily due to more borrowings and loans during the 2011.

Gain on business combination. Gain on business combination of $7.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 resulted from the acquisition of Longyun during the first quarter in 2011

Income Taxes. Our income taxes increased by approximately $0.9 million, or 262%, to $1.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $0.3 million in the same period of 2010. The increase was due to the combined effect of recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Net Income. In the six months ended June 30, 2011, we generated a net income of $2.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $3.5 million from a net loss of $1 million in the same period last year, as a result of the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have been in engaged in providing exclusive agent service to assist a property development company to sell its properties, with the condition that we prepay approximately $38 million as a deposit. We anticipate completing the sales within one year which will generate sufficient operating cash flows.

We are also in the process of obtaining a line of credit from banks with the use of our properties or deposits as collaterals. We expect to receive short-term loans of RMB70 million (approximately $10.8 million) from China Minsheng Bank and RMB40 million (approximately $6.2 million) from Guangzhou Rural Commercial Bank in late August 2011.

Going Concern

Our consolidated current liabilities exceeded our consolidated current assets by approximately $29.1 million as of June 30, 2011. We historically financed our operations principally from cash flows generating in operating and financing from financial institutions or stockholders. Based on future projections of our profits and cash inflows from operations, including commercial property leasing and providing agent service in properties sales, and the anticipated ability of obtaining continued financing from banks and revolving loans from related parties to finance our continuing operations, our management has prepared the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.

As of June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.7 million. The following table summarizes the key cash flow metrics from our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $51 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $1.8 million net cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2010, which was primarily due to the approximately $48.9 million increase of deposit with property developer and prepayment and other receivable for the development of our trade business in the 2011 period.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $20.3 million, as compared to $7.5 million net cash used in investing activities for the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to the combined effect of expenditure in property purchasing activity, payment in business acquisitions and higher financial support given to related parties in the 2011 period.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $71.8 million, as compared to $11.6 million net cash provided by financing activities for the same period in 2010. Such increase was primarily due to additional short-term and long-term borrowings obtained in the 2011 period.

Loan Commitments

As of June 30, 2011, the amount, maturity date and term of each of our bank loans were as follows:

The outstanding short-term borrowings and loans were pledged by properties, with an aggregate carrying value of $12,369,866 and deposit of $6,849,840.

We are currently in compliance with the covenants and other requirements with respect to our outstanding debt. Although we expect to remain in compliance with these covenants and ratios for at least the next year, depending upon our future operating performance, property and financing transactions and general economic conditions, we cannot assure you that we will continue to be in compliance.

We may not be able to repay, refinance or extend any or all of our debt at maturity or upon any acceleration. If any refinancing is done at higher interest rates, the increased interest expense could adversely affect our cash flow. Any such refinancing could also impose tighter financial ratios and other covenants that restrict our ability to take actions that could otherwise be in our best interest, such as funding property purchase activity and making opportunistic business acquisitions. We believe that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations will meet part of our present cash needs. For example, we served as an exclusive sales agent for a property development company in Shandong. This will bring us sufficient cash inflow when we commence our sales. And we will require additional cash resources, including loans, to meet our expected capital expenditure and working capital for the next 12 months. As we build good relationship with local financial institutions, we can receive continuous financial support from these parties, include but not limit to loan facilities and line of credit from banks.

We may, however, in the future, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

Obligations under Material Contracts

In addition to the loan commitments described above, we have the material obligation described below.

As of June 30, 2011, pursuant to the terms of the Property Sale and Purchase Agreement dated June 8, 2009, by and between TFS GM and Shanghai Shuangou Property Co., Ltd, TFS GM was required to pay RMB 38,100,707 (approximately $5,887,321) before the end of 2011.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement dated February 28, 2011, by and among Shandong TFS and two original individual stockholders of Longyun, total consideration was RMB58 million (approximately $8,962,160), of which RMB48 million (approximately $7,416,960) was settled. The remaining RMB10 million (approximately $1,545,200) was required to pay by the end of September 2011.

The table below sets forth our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

The policies used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements are described in Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. However, certain of our significant accounting policies contain an increased level of assumptions

- 36 -


used or estimates made in determining their impact in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Management has reviewed and determined the appropriateness of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

We consider our critical accounting estimates to be those used in the determination of the reported amounts and disclosure related to the following:

  • Business combination;

  • Impairment of long-lived assets;

  • Revenue recognition;

  • Allowance for doubtful accounts; and

  • Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Business combination

Business combinations are recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest of the acquiree at the acquisition date, if any, are measured at their fair values as of that date. Gain on business combination is recognized and measured as the excess of the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired, at the acquisition date over the total consideration transferred plus the fair value of any non-controlling interest of the acquiree, if any. The consideration in acquisitions made in cash. Consideration transferred in a business acquisition is measured at the fair value as at the date of acquisition.

Revenue Recognition

Sales of goods

We primarily generate revenue from goods sales to distributors and end users. The delivery of our sales is made based on sales contracts from customers, which specify particular sales prices for the goods. Delivery occurs only upon receipt of the goods by the customer’s warehouse or designated destination, or at the time the goods are picked up by the customer. We granted certain credit terms and limits to customers that we believed to be low risk of collectability based on our credit assessment. Historically, no material collectability problem has occurred. Revenue is recognized when delivery occurs and collectability is reasonably assured. We have no post-delivery obligations on our goods sold.

Rental revenue

Rental revenue includes rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease reported evenly over the non-cancelable term of the lease. Most of our leases contain rental increases at specified intervals. We recognize such revenues on a straight-line basis by averaging the non-cancelable rental revenues over the lease terms. Contingent rental revenue, such as percentage rent on sale volume of tenant, is accrued when the contingency is removed.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable and accrued straight-line rents receivable are reviewed periodically as to whether they are past due based on contractual terms and their carrying values have become impaired. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which loss is determined to be probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating doubtful collection, historical experience, account balance aging and prevailing economic conditions. Measurement of such losses requires consideration of historical loss experience, including the need to adjust for current conditions, and judgments about the probable effects of relevant observable data, including present economic conditions such as delinquency rates and financial health of specific customers. We have considered all available information in our assessments of the adequacy of the provision for doubtful accounts and we do not expect there would be significant changes on conditions that would result in material effect on the allowance estimation. We will continue to assess our receivable portfolio in light of the current economic environment and its impact on our estimation of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

- 37 -


We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability considering historical profitability, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. If we are unable to generate sufficient future taxable income, or if there is a material change in the actual effective tax rates or time period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or deductible, we could be required to increase the valuation allowance against all or a significant portion of our deferred tax assets resulting in a substantial adverse impact on our operating results.

Seasonality

Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to seasonal variations. This pattern may change, however, as a result of new market opportunities or new product introduction.

Inflation

Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor the price change in our industry and continually maintain effective cost control in operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2011, we provided a guarantee to a related party, Yinli Decorative Lighting, for up to RMB12 million (approximately US$1.8 million its bank loans), and a guarantee to a third party, Zibo Xinhe Textile Raw Material Co., Ltd., for its bank loans of up to RMB0.5 million (approximately US$0.08 million). Should we be required to pay any portion of the total amount of the loans that we have guaranteed, we would attempt to recover some or the entire amount from the guaranteed party.

Not Applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Shaoping Lu, and our Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Zhumin Zhang, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011. Based on this assessment, Mr. Lu and Ms. Zhang determined that, as of June 30, 2011, and as of the date that the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was completed, because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we lack of an audit committee and an internal audit department, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Our subsidiaries, the Fifth Season Hangzhou Department Store Investment Management Co., Ltd and the Fifth Season Liyang Investment Management Co., Ltd, are a defendants in a lawsuit filed in Liyang People’s Court by one of our lessees, Jianhua Si , for alleged breach of contract. We responded with a countersuit against the lessee for breach of contract. On July 21, 2011, the case was adjudicated with the following results. On one hand, the lessee prevailed in its original claim and we were ordered to pay actual and punitive damages totaling about US$65,000. On the other hand, we prevailed in our counterclaim and the lessee was ordered to pay us a default payment of about US$65,000. As a result, the case had minimal, if any, impact on our business and operations.
