Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated interim balance sheets of Sino Gas International Holdings, Inc. as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three months and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. These consolidated interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Sino Gas International Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on August 19, 1983 as Evica Resources, Inc. The Company changed its name to American Arms, Inc. on April 5, 1984, and then changed its name to Dolce Ventures, Inc. on May 21, 2002, and ultimate changed its name to Sino Gas International Holdings, Inc. on November 17, 2006.

On September 7, 2006, the Company underwent a reverse-merger with Gas Investment China Co., Ltd. (“Gas (BVI)”), an International Business Company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, and its wholly owned subsidiary Beijing Zhong Ran Weiye Gas Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Gas”), involving an exchange of shares whereby the Company issued an aggregate of 14,361,646 shares to the shareholders of Gas (BVI) in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Gas (BVI). For financial reporting purposes, this transaction is classified as a recapitalization of Sino Gas International Holdings, Inc. (Legal acquirer, accounting acquiree) and the historical financial statements of Gas Investment China Co. Ltd. (Legal acquiree, accounting acquirer)

The Company’s primarily business operations are conducted through Beijing Gas. Beijing Gas is a natural gas services operator, principally engaging in the investment, operation, and management of city gas pipeline infrastructure, in the distribution of natural gas to residential and industrial users, in the construction and operation gas stations, and in the development and application of natural gas related technologies. Beijing Gas develops its operating subsidiaries, known as project companies. Each project company operates as a local natural gas distributor in a city or county. Pursuant to an exclusive franchise agreement with the local government or entities responsible for administering and/or regulating gas utilities, each project company is granted the exclusive right to develop and operate natural gas distribution systems and distribute natural gas at the operational location.
 
Beijing Gas holds an equity interest of 85% to 100% on its subsidiaries, and an individual shareholder nominally holds the remainder of the equity interest in such project company. Each such individual shareholder has relinquished any and all rights, power and interest of Beijing Gas in the respective project companies under enforceable contracts. This structure was intended to comply with a PRC law that required a limited liability company to have at least two shareholders.

The Company owns and operates natural gas distribution systems in 35 small and medium size cities serving approximately 190,500 residential and seven industrial customers. The Company’s facilities include approximately 1,525 kilometers of pipeline and delivery networks (including delivery trucks) with a daily capacity of approximately 120,000 cubic meters of natural gas.

The common stock of the Company is currently quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “SGAS”.

Basis of Presentation and Organization

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
 
This basis of accounting differs in certain material respects from that used for the preparation of the books of account of the Company’s principal subsidiaries, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises with limited liabilities established in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) or in the accounting standards used in the places of their domicile. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in the books of account of the Company’s subsidiaries to present them in conformity with US GAAP.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)         Method of Accounting

The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements and notes are representations of management. Accounting policies adopted by the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements.

(b)         Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
 
(c)         Economic and political risks

The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
 
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment, and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to law and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

(d)          Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”). Significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in which the company has a 20 percent to 50 percent voting interest and where the company exercises significant influence over the investor are accounted for using the equity method.

Notes to Financial Statements
As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010
(Stated in US Dollars)
 
(e)          Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all cash and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(f)          Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business and does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.

(g)          Advances to Suppliers

Advances to suppliers represent the cash paid in advance for purchasing raw materials. The advances to suppliers are interest free and unsecured.

(h)          Investments in Equity Securities

The equity method of accounting was used to account for the Company’s investment in equity securities for which the Company did not have controlling equity interest. Non-controlling equity interest for the Company is typically a position of less than 50% beneficial ownership.

The consolidated statement of income includes the Company’s share of the post-acquisition results of the investment’s performance for the year. In the consolidated balance sheet, investments in equity securities are stated at the Company’s share of the net assets of the investments plus any potential premium, or less discounts paid at the time of acquisition, and less any identified impairment loss.

The Company did not record any goodwill when it acquired its equity position in Xiangke Oil Gas and Qujing Gas. Accordingly, in accordance with SFAS 142, the Company has not taken an amortization expense of goodwill during the time it has carried stakes in equity security.

(i)          Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), ASC 360-10-35. The Company evaluates its long lived assets for impairment when indicators of impairment are present or annually, whichever occurs sooner. In the event that there are indications of impairment, the Company will record a loss to statements of income equal to the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the long lived asset. The Company typically, but not exclusively uses the expected future discounted flows method to determine fair value of long lived asset subject to impairment. The fair value of long lived assets that held for disposition will include the cost of disposal.

The Company’s long-lived assets are grouped by their presentation on the consolidated balance sheets, and further segregated by their operating and asset type. Long-lived assets subject to impairment include buildings, equipment, vehicles, accounting software license, franchise and land use rights. The Company makes its determinations based on various factors that impact those assets.

At June 30, 2011, the Company assessed its buildings, equipment, vehicles, accounting software licenses, franchise and land use rights for production and has concluded its long-lived assets have not experienced any impairment losses because the Company’s long lived assets have enabled the Company to experience significant profit growth during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010
(Stated in US Dollars)

(j)          Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Assets Class
 
Estimated Useful Life
Gas Pipelines (Up to December 31, 2007)
 
25 years
Gas Pipelines (Starting from January 1, 2008)
 
50 years
Buildings
 
25 years
Leasehold Improvements
 
25 years
Machinery & Equipment
 
20 years
Motor Vehicles
 
10 years
Office Equipment
 
8 years

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

(m)          Construction in Progress

Construction in progress represents the cost of constructing pipelines and is stated at cost. Costs comprise of direct and indirect incremental costs of acquisition or construction. Completed items are transferred from construction in progress to the gas pipelines of fixed assets when they are ready for their intended use. The major cost of construction relates to construction materials, direct labor wages, and other overhead. Construction of pipeline, through which to distribute natural gas, is one of the Group’s principal businesses. The Group builds city main pipeline network and branch pipeline network to make gas connection to resident users, industrial and commercial users, with the objective of generating revenue on gas connection and gas usage fees collected from these customers. These projects, once completed, will significantly increase the gas supply capacity.

(n)          Unearned Revenue

Unearned revenue represents prepayments by customers for gas purchases and advance payments on construction and installation of pipeline contracts. The Company records such prepayment as unearned revenue when the payments are received.

(o)          Financial Instruments

The Company adopted ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC 820-10 includes a fair value hierarchy that is intended to increase the consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing an asset or liability based upon their own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

Level 1–inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2–observable inputs other than level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3–instrument valuations are obtained without observable market values and require a high-level of judgment to determine the fair value.

The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash, bank notes receivable, and debt obligations. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans and similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of debt obligations also approximates its carrying value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. While the Company believes its valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

(x)          Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other consolidated financial statements.

(z)          Earnings per Share

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with FASB ASC 260 “Earnings per share”.  SFAS No. 128 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., contingent shares, convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

(AA)          Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates subsequent events that have occurred after the consolidated balance sheet date but before the consolidated financial statements are issued. There are two types of subsequent events:  (1) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (2) non-recognized, or those that provide evidence with respect to conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date. The Company has evaluated subsequent events, and based on this evaluation, the Company did not recognize subsequent event that would require disclosure to the consolidated financial statements.

Second payment of 30% is received at milestone set out following the contracts. Third payment of 30% is received after the construction is completed. The final sum of the remaining portion normally acts as retention money for quality warranty to the developer. The retention money would be received by the company after the 1 year warranty period.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has contracted with customers usually in two revenue segments altogether, one is for the construction and installation of gas facilities and another one is the subsequent sales of natural gas to the customers through the gas facilities the Company constructs. However, the respective gas facilities contracts and gas supply contracts have separately provided for the basis of revenue recognition and distinctive from each other for the relevant cost-and-revenue to be incurred and hence separate calculation and subsequent payment of fees for respective business without any interdependence on each other in this respect.

For management purposes, the company is currently organized into two major operating divisions: (a) sales of natural gas and (b) installation of gas facilities/construction. These principal operating activities are the basis on which the Company reports its primary segment information.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management. This report includes forward-looking statements.  Generally, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,” and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report or other reports or documents we file with the SEC from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be place on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by law.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Economic & Industrial Trends

We generate revenue from two sources: (i) connection fees for constructing connections to our natural gas distribution network and (ii) sales of natural gas. Given the fact that almost all of our connection fees are from new residential apartments, our connection activities are closely related to the development of the real estate industry in our targeted cities in China. Natural gas facilities in new apartments are often required by local governments, who aim to promote the use of natural gas to improve the local residents’ quality of life.
 
Due to the Chinese real estate boom in recent years, we experienced high growth in our connection activities. However, in 2007, the Chinese government implemented a series of policies and regulations to curb inflation and to slow the growth of the property market. These policies, together with the worldwide financial crisis in 2008, resulted in a slowdown of the real estate market in China and our business, in turn, was affected. In 2008, the Chinese government changed its policies and prioritized working to boost the economy. The Chinese government adopted new policies, such as reducing stamp duties and transactions fees, lowering interest rates, and loosening bank lending policies, to address the slowdown in the real estate market. The Chinese government also decided to inject a stimulus package, which allocated funds for mass housing projects, to boost the overall economy. We saw signs of recovery of the real estate market in China at the beginning of 2009, and we experienced increased business activities in the third and fourth quarters of 2009. Starting in April 2010, the Chinese government issued new policies to curb the rise of housing prices in certain cities. These new initiatives resulted in lower transaction volumes during the second and third quarters of 2010. However, our transaction volumes started to pick up again in the fourth quarter of 2010.  Although in the first half of 2011 the overall housing market remained slow, in the 2nd and 3rd tier cities where we operate, housing development is still solid. As a result, new installations for residential customers have increased, especially in second quarter.
  
Even with the up and down nature of the Chinese real estate market over the past two years, we believe that the  growth trend of the real estate market will continue because of the ongoing urbanization in China. Moreover, the Chinese government, at both the national and the local levels, continues to strongly support the use of clean energy, particularly natural gas.
 
There are three pillars in the Chinese economy: (i) domestic consumption (both private and public), (ii) net exports, and (iii) domestic investment. China’s GDP grew by 8.7% in 2009, exceeding the targeted 8%. The GDP growth rate remained strong through the first two quarters of 2010. China’s GDP grew 11.9%, and 10.3% in the first and second quarters of 2010, respectively, from the same periods in 2009. Furthermore, China’s GDP increased by 9.6%, and 9.8% during the third and fourth quarters of 2010 respectively as compared to the same period of 2009.  China’s GDP growth jumped 10.3% year-over-year in 2010. China’s GDP rose 9.6% and in the first half of 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010.

Our gas users are composed of both industrial and residential users. Gas sales to residential users are much less affected by economic and industrial factors and should maintain stable growth in the future. Gas sales to industrial users, however, are subject to the operating performance of the industrial user. As we develop into more cities in the coming years, we expect to add more industrial users when the opportunities arise and we possess the necessary capital requirements.

Material Opportunities

The gas distribution market is quite fragmented in the small (population less than 300,000) to medium (population between 300,000 to 1,000,000) sized cities and it is primarily in these markets that we are exploring potential project targets. Many small-sized city markets are still untapped or undeveloped. The development of these markets is generally considered one of the Company’s major growth opportunities.
 
The natural gas distribution markets of most medium-sized or large cities have already been developed by large distributors or are still operated by state-owned companies. Acquisition opportunities exist for those still run by state-owned companies, as the central government encourages suppliers to turn them into privately-owned companies. Acquisitions in these markets would have a material impact on the Company, potentially increasing the Company’s assets and revenues significantly. 

Material Challenges
 
There are many small-to-medium sized cities whose natural gas infrastructure is still undeveloped or underdeveloped and these markets present growth opportunities for the Company. However, competition is growing, as many small new players have been attracted by the profitability and growth potential of the business. In addition, we are also facing competition from stronger competitors, as large city markets are becoming saturated and our competitors from those markets are beginning to expand into smaller cities.
 
We face limited opportunities in developing into first-tier cities in China, as most of those opportunities have already been assumed by other large gas distributors, such as Xin’ao Gas Co. Ltd. (the largest distributor in China).
 
Furthermore, potential users in small and medium-sized cities need to be educated about the benefits of natural gas. It takes some time for them to realize how natural gas can improve their quality of life. This is especially true for new markets, where there is no use of natural gas. Correspondingly, small cities tend to be more reluctant to use new energies than large cities and residents of small cities tend to depend more on coal than natural gas.
 
With respect to purchase price and sale price of natural gas, China’s energy market is highly regulated by the government. Whenever there is an adjustment to the purchase price set by the government, gas distributors increase or decrease the sale price accordingly, subject to a public hearing and government approval. The natural gas prices in China are lagging behind those in other international markets. The Chinese government has seldom adjusted the price of natural gas and we cannot rule out the possibility of an increase in natural gas prices by the government in the future. Even though we could adjust our sale price accordingly after the increase in purchase price, thereby passing the increase onto the end users, the fact remains that such price increases would make natural gas more expensive, as compared to other alternative energies, and in turn could hinder our business development.
 
Risks in Short-Term and Long-Term
 
In each of the cities we are developing and aiming to develop, the real estate market is the major factor that impacts us. Most of our residential customers are new home buyers. If the real estate market turns downward, the demand for new homes could decrease, resulting in fewer natural gas connections, which would negatively impact our business.
 
To reduce the Company’s dependence on connection fees, the Company is looking at opportunities to diversify its business by expanding into related industries, such as pipelines and gas stations. However, we do not expect to develop into those areas in full in the near future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Natural gas distribution is a capital-intensive industry that requires large amounts of capital for the construction of pipelines and gas stations and the purchase of transportation vehicles. Without the necessary capital, the Company would be constrained by inadequate capital when developing into larger cities or engaging in merger and acquisition activities, and would require additional fundraising to finance such business activities.

Net Revenues
 
We generate revenues from two sources: connection fees for constructing connections to our natural gas distribution network and sales of natural gas.

Total net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $7,875,152, compared to $5,916,218 for the same period in 2010, representing an increase of 33.11 %. The increase was mainly due to the increased of both gas sales and connection fees. During this period, we connected 9,208 new residential households to our gas distribution network, resulting in total connection fees of $3,242,598. Gas sales during the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $4,632,554. In comparison, we connected 6,490 new residential households to our gas distribution network for the same period in 2010, resulting in total connection fees of $2,082,636.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $1. 45 million and approximately 18.43% of net revenues, compared with $1.01 million, or 17.06%, of net revenues in the same period of 2010. We incurred approximately $0.28 million in professional service fees, including legal, assessment, advisory and credit guarantee during the three months ended June 30, 2011.
 
Operating Income

The operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.95 million, representing an increase of 6.1%, compared to the operating income of $0.90 million for the same period of 2010. This increase was due to the increase in revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2011.
 
Other Income (Expense)

Other Income was $0.57 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared with other expense of $0.83 million for the same period of 2010. Other income was mainly attributable to the $1.12 million gain on disposal of property and equipment of three discontinued operations, and also to the decrease of the non-cash flow amortization costs of convertible bonds.

Income tax

Income tax was $0.32 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $0.20 million for the same period of 2010.
 
Net Income

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.31 million, compared with net loss of $0.14 million for the same period of 2010. Due to the increase in sales and improvement of gross margin from both connection fee revenue and gas sales, gross profit improved 26.08% to $2.40 million compared to the gross profit of $1.91 million for the same period of 2010. Higher gross profit together with the gain on disposal of property and equipment were able to offset the increase of cost of revenue and the increase of SG&A expenses in this quarter.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a – 15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act”)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. This information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
