ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Business Overview

We are engaged in the investment, assignment, and leasing of commercial properties, in the operation of department stores, and in the wholesale of goods in China. In 2009, we expanded our business to include the wholesale of goods, such as copper, steel, energy saving lamps, clothing and zinc slabs, and in 2010, we began engaging in online sales of general consumer products manufactured by third-parties, we discontinued this business in November 2011 in order to comply with PRC government prohibitions of engagement in such activity by foreign invested companies.

As at December 31, 2011, we invested or leased seven commercial properties in Southeastern China, encompassing approximately 152,244 square meters, which includes three properties comprising 93,010 square meters, or approximately 61% of the properties, directly owned by us. Many of the properties are positioned as department stores with large commercial tenants, including but not limited to Trust-Mart, Bank of China, and Boshiwa International Holding Limited. We rely on the knowledge of our board of directors and management when making investment decisions. We intend to put additional investment policies in place as we expand our commercial real estate business in the coming years.

In 2009, we expanded our business to include the wholesale of goods, such as copper, steel, energy saving lamps, clothing and zinc slabs, to wholesale and retail customers in China. We have a network of buyers and suppliers with whom we have a good relationship, and we gain new customers or suppliers primarily through referrals. Our suppliers of copper and other raw materials are companies that provide large quantities of wholesale goods primarily used as raw materials by manufactures. We source goods for our customers from suppliers of such goods and we earn revenue from the difference in the price that we pay to suppliers and the price for which we sell such goods to our customers. In the conduct of such business we independently determine and negotiate prices with our suppliers and customers and we are the primary obligor in our purchase and sales transactions. We enter into sales contracts with our customers and are ultimately responsible for providing the products ordered by our customers in accordance with such sales contracts. Our suppliers are not involved in any of our sales contracts and do not have any obligation to our customers. We bear the risk of physical loss for products ordered by our customers, as well as all the credit risk for the amounts billed to them. We enter into separate agreements with suppliers and negotiate with them on price as well as other contract terms, including on the return of unsatisfactory goods within a certain period, however, we have no general arrangement with them to return unsold goods. Although our customers have specific requirements on the quality of goods ordered, they are not involved in the selection of our suppliers. Once our customer places an order and we place an order with our supplier based on our customer requirements, we generally take title of the goods prior to shipment and we are obligated to pay for such goods, regardless of whether our customer returns unsatisfactory goods to us within such period. In some circumstances we are also required to make advance deposits with suppliers, and where products are in high demand, we sometimes place orders and pay in advance for such products, regardless of whether we have received customer orders for such items or whether payment has been collected in full from a customer. Although we are obligated to pay for goods purchased from our suppliers, we sometimes orally offer credit terms to our customers, usually one to three months, based on negotiations with our customers. We accept payment from our customers and then pay the respective suppliers and arrange for delivery directly to such customer. As a result, the copper and other raw materials that we sell do not need to be stored by us and in fiscal year 2010 and 2011, we did not incur any warehousing expense for such goods. Our procedures for the wholesale of copper and other raw materials is the same as our procedures for selling lamps, clothing and other items, except that in our wholesale of clothing (conducted through our discontinued online sales business), we sometimes stored the goods in our storage facility prior to resale.

Prior to November 2011, we also engaged in online sales of general consumer products manufactured by third-parties, including small home appliances (such as kitchenware and soybean blenders), toys, clothing, footwear, luggage and accessories, however, we discontinued this business in November 2011 in order to comply with PRC government prohibitions of engagement in such activity by foreign invested companies. Our suppliers of small home appliances and other finished products were generally small manufacturers or assemblers of finished goods for sale to wholesalers and retailers. We entered into installment purchase agreements with such suppliers of finished products and took delivery and stored a portion of such products in a leased 600-square-meter storage facility located in Hangzhou, China, to store small home appliances. Once we identified a buyer for the products, we accepted payment from the buyer and either delivered the products from our storage facility or arranged for delivery directly to the buyer. During fiscal year 2010 and 2011 we did not incur any expense for the storage of these finished products. Now that our online business has been discontinued, we do not expect to continue using this storage facility.

Our contracts for the sale of goods have increased from sixteen in 2010 to seventy-five in 2011, including to customers such as Shanghai Senhong Metal Co., Ltd., Shanghai Tongli Metal Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Rongkun Trade Co., Ltd, who accounted for approximately 35%, 20% and 15%, respectively, or a combined 70% of our revenues from the wholesale of goods, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. During the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, 97.7% and 97.2% of our revenues were derived from our wholesale of goods, and revenue from our online sales accounted for nil and 0.1% of revenues during the respective periods.

Our revenues increased from $56 million in fiscal year 2010 to $199 million in fiscal year 2011, representing a compounded growth rate of approximately 255%, and our net income decreased to $0.08 million in fiscal year 2011, as compared to a net income of $9 million in fiscal year 2010. The decrease was mainly due to the incurrence of interest expense of $10 million in fiscal year 2011, as compared with $0.5 million in fiscal year 2010. The increase in interest expense is a result of our increased use of credit facilities to fulfill our exclusive sales agency agreement with Zibo Mintai Property Development Co., Ltd (as disclosed in Note 9 of Item 8 of our financial statements), to acquire Zibo Longyun Industrial and Trade Co., Ltd (as disclosed in Note 6 of Item 8), to purchase commercial properties in Jiashan and to expand our trade business.

We operate our business in Hangzhou, Jiashan, Shanghai, Wuxi, Zibo, Tengzhou, Binzhou and Suqian. Our principal executive offices are located at C-22, Shimao Plaza, 9 Fuhong Lu, Futian District, Shenzhen 518033, People’s Republic of China. The telephone number at our principal executive office is (86) 755 83 67 9378. Our company website is available at “http://www.d5ji.com”. Our online store website is at http://www.d5jmall.com.

Our Corporate History and Background

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 5, 2007 as Dynasty Energy Resources, Inc., a subsidiary of Alma International, Inc., or Alma, a Florida corporation formerly known as R.A.B Capital. We were established as part of the September 21, 2007 reorganization of Alma, pursuant to which all the shareholders of Alma became pro rata shareholders of the Company with the same rights, privileges, and preferences as they had as Alma shareholders and Alma transferred all of its assets and liabilities to an unrelated subsidiary. Through 2002 when it ceased operations, Alma was in the business of designing, marketing and selling African Jewelry.

From our inception until the acquisition of Fifth Season HK described below, we were an inactive "shell" company whose only purpose was to determine and implement a new business purpose. As a result of the reverse acquisition, we are now primarily engaged in the investment, assignment, and leasing of commercial properties, and in the operation of department stores; the wholesale of commodities, such as copper, steel, energy saving lamps, clothing, zinc slabs and fuel; and in online sales of general consumer products manufactured by third-parties, including small home appliances, toys, clothing, footwear, luggage and accessories.

On October 22, 2010, we filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State to (i) change our name from Dynasty Energy Resources, Inc. to Fifth Season International, Inc. and (ii) effect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock. The name change and reverse stock split became effective on such date. As a result of the reverse stock split, our outstanding common stock was reduced from 169,126,938 to 8,456,347 shares prior to the closing of the acquisition. For more information, see our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 27, 2010.

Reverse Acquisition of Fifth Season HK

On March 31, 2011, we completed a reverse acquisition transaction through a share exchange with Fifth Season HK and its shareholders, Mr. Shaoping Lu, Ms. Chushing Cheung and Power Guide Investment Limited, whereby we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Fifth Season HK in exchange for 391,543,500 shares of our common stock. After consummation of the reverse acquisition transaction, the former shareholders of Fifth Season HK held 98% of our issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis. The share exchange transaction resulted in our acquisition of Fifth Season HK. The business purpose for the share exchange transaction was for the Company to assume the business and operations of Fifth Season HK. After the share exchange transaction, Mr. Lianmo Wu, who was the ultimate controlling shareholder of Fifth Season HK, became the controlling shareholder of the Company through the shareholdings of his wife, Ms. Chushing Cheung.

On October 12, 2010, in connection with signing of the Exchange Agreement, Mr. Shaoping Lu, our sole officer and director, resigned from his positions as our President and Treasurer, but remained in his position as our Chief Executive Officer. At the same time, our board appointed Mr. Lianmo Wu as President and Treasurer, Ms. Zhumin Zhang as our Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Xiaolei Xing as our Chief Operating Officer.

Upon the closing of the reverse acquisition on March 31, 2011, our board of directors increased its size from one to four members and appointed Mr. Wu, Mr. John Eliasov and Mr. Xiaolei Xing to fill the vacancies created by such increase. Mr. Wu’s appointment became effective immediately, while the remaining appointments will become effective on the tenth day following our mailing of an information statement complying with the requirements of Section 14f-1 of the Exchange Act, or the Information Statement, to our stockholders, which mailed on or about April 11, 2011. As a result of the reverse acquisition, Fifth Season HK became our subsidiary and the former shareholders of Fifth Season HK became our controlling stockholders. For accounting purposes, the share exchange transaction with Fifth Season HK was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Fifth Season HK as the acquirer and Fifth Season International, Inc. as the acquired party.

Between February and December of 2010, we consolidated all our subsidiaries under Fifth Season HK, an entity beneficially owned and controlled by non-PRC individuals who were not in control of the PRC subsidiaries at the time of the reverse merger (referred to throughout as the “reorganization”). The purpose of the reorganization was to turn affiliated mainland companies into 100% wholly-owned subsidiaries of Fifth Season HK, creating a simple corporate structure under the parent company Fifth Season HK. Our management believed that this simplified structure was necessary to make the Company more attractive to an off-shore acquirer, as well as legally effect the reverse acquisition of Fifth Season HK under the PRC’s Regulation on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors (the 2006 “M&A Rules”), discussed in more detail under the “Regulations” heading in the Amendment.

Following is summary information regarding the establishment or acquisition of each of our subsidiaries and how each transaction materially contributed to the creation of Fifth Season HK.

Fifth Season HK – Our subsidiary, Fifth Season HK, was incorporated in Hong Kong on February 1, 2007, by Mr. Lianmo Wu who held 510,000 original shares and Ms. Zhumin Zhang who, on behalf of Mr. Lianmo Wu, held 490,000 original shares, to serve as an investment holding company for subsidiaries mainly serving as investment holding companies or engaged in commercial real estate operations or in the wholesale of goods. On April 28, 2008, Ms. Zhang, under the instruction from Mr. Lianmo Wu, transferred an aggregate of 410,000 shares to Lin Yong, Chan Wei Dong, Zhang Jian Jun and Chen Hui Ming (all of them held the shares on behalf of Mr. Lianmo Wu), for a consideration of HK$1 per share. On August 3, 2009, Lin Yong, Chan Wei Dong, Zhang Jian Jun and Chen Hui Ming, under the instruction from Mr. Lianmo Wu, transferred their 410,000 shares to Ms. Chushing Cheung, and Ms. Zhumin Zhang, under the instruction from Mr. Lianmo Wu, transferred her remaining 80,000 shares to Ms. Chushing Cheung for a consideration of HK$1 per share. On September 20, 2009, Mr. Lianmo Wu transferred his 510,000 shares to Ms. Cheung for a consideration of HK$1 per share and on July 29, 2010, Ms. Chueng transferred 250,000 shares to Mr. Shaoping Lu for a consideration of $36 per share. On October 18, 2010, Ms. Cheung and Mr. Lu transferred 114,055 and 59,616 shares, respectively, to Power Guide Investment Limited for a consideration of $36 per share. As a result, Ms. Chueng, Mr. Lu and Power Guide Investment Limited became the only three shareholders of Fifth Season HK, holding 635,945 or about 64% of shares, 190,384 or about 19% of shares; and 173,671 or about 17% of shares, respectively.

Business Real Estates – Our indirect subsidiary, Business Real Estates, was established by Mr. Wu in Hong Kong on November 19, 2008, to serve as an investment holding company. On February 5, 2010, as part of a plan of reorganization, Fifth Season HK acquired Business Real Estates from Mr. Wu for a cash consideration equal to Business Real Estates’ registered paid-in capital of HK$1 million (approximately $128,700). Business Real Estate established Kairui Real Estate in the PRC on August 2, 2010, to engage in the investment, assignment and leasing of commercial properties, however, we are in the process of winding up Kairui Real Estate in four stages, the first of which was commenced in May, 2011. In May, we applied for approval from the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation (FTEC) Bureau in Hangzhou for termination of company’s business and are awaiting such approval. Once we receive FTEC approval, we will effect a mandated publication regarding the termination in a provincial newspaper that will run for 45 days. In the third stage, we will formally revoke Kairui Real Estate’s licenses, including its tax registration certificate and articles of incorporation by submitting a revocation request and a shareholder resolution to local authorities. In the final stage, we will go to the local industrial and commercial bureau to officially terminate Kairui Real Estate. The termination of Kairui Real Estate will have minimal effect on the Company since it is a company with no operation or assets.

Our Corporate Structure

All of our business operations are conducted through our Chinese operating subsidiaries. The chart below presents our corporate structure:


Our Industry and Principal Market

Commercial Leasing

We are involved in the commercial real estate industry in China. China’s real estate industry has expanded rapidly in recent years as a result of the growth of China’s economy, the trend toward rapid urbanization, an increasingly affluent urban population and government-mandated reforms in the real estate industry.

Commercial real estate, also known as business real estate, refers to those real estate investment goods that can generate benefits in the form of leasing or rental income as well as from property appreciation. Along with the economic recovery of China in 2009, the commercial real estate market has shown a robust trend with the sales and areas sold soaring month by month. Commencing in 2010, the Chinese Government took steps to strengthen its regulation and control over the real estate market, with the release of regulation and policies which seriously dampened the housing market. As a result, quite a few developers and investors have successively transferred their investments to less regulated commercial real estate, resulting in an uptrend in sales in the commercial real estate sector, as well as the amount of square meters being sold as compared to prior years. According to the 2010 and 2011 annual report from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, between year 2010 and 2011, the investment in office buildings increased by 40.7% and the investment in commercial facilities increased by 30.5%, as compared to 30.2% growth of the investment in residential real estate during the same period.

- 10 -


The more relatively developed commercial real estate markets are located in Tier 1 cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, where there is generally more robust economic development and favorable business climate. In 2009, Shanghai, Beijing, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Guangdong ranked as the top 5 regions for investment in office buildings nationwide, with their aggregate investment amounting to 56% of the total PRC investment in such properties.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, investment in both commercial and residential real estate development has experienced strong growth in recent years. We believe that China’s commercial real estate market will continue to experience strong growth and that such growth will expand to China’s Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. We have positioned ourselves in these markets as part of our strategy to acquire properties at a low cost, to gain first mover advantage and to avoid the intense competition in Tier 1 regions.

Market for Wholesale Goods

We are also engaged in the sale of goods, such as copper, steel, energy saving lamps, clothing and zinc slabs, and in online sales of general consumer products manufactured by third-parties, including small home appliances, toys, clothing, footwear, luggage and accessories. In recent years China has been become the dominant force in the supply of wholesale goods. According to 2010 annual report from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, China has a population of about 1.341 billion. The average annual disposable income of an urban resident is RMB 19,109 ($2898.82), which is well below its US counterpart. Labor resource is relatively cheap and abundant in China. With cheap labor costs at their disposal PRC companies can offer wholesale goods at very competitive prices. By working more and more with companies wanting goods for domestic and international markets, wholesalers in China have developed higher quality standards which have advantages for both the wholesalers themselves and the customers they hope to attract.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe the following strengths allow us to compete effectively in the PRC commercial real estate market:

  • We have a proven track record in the successful sale or lease of commercial properties. Since our inception in 2007, we have leased properties having an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 30,000 square meters. Our ability to cater to our customers’ preferences has been a major factor in the growth of our business. By leveraging our experience and track record, we believe that we can penetrate the real estate markets in tier two and tier three cities in China.
     
  • We have a widely recognized brand name in an attractive coastal market. We market most of our commercial properties under the brand name “Fifth Season.” We are recognized for the quality of our commercial properties and the services we provide. By gradually building our reputation in the industry, we hope to attract more customers in the future. We believe that the quality of our real estate and the recognition of our brand name by our customers are important to our success.
     
  • We have an experienced management team. We have an experienced management team with extensive operating experience and industry knowledge. The management team has gained a wealth of knowledge in the real estate industry after some years of practices in real estate consulting. The team has developed many close relationships with third party property owners and company tenants. The innate understanding of local real estate market and unmatched resources possessed by the team enable us to deliver good performance locally. Some of our team members have years of working experiences in the commercial real estate industry. In addition, our staff is well trained and is motivated by our incentive programs.
     
  • We have a large number of commercial properties at premier locations for lease or for sale. We believe that our ownership or access to premium commercial properties gives us an advantage over our competitors who do not have similar properties and must acquire them prior to lease or sale. We acquire properties by both direct purchases and by the acquisition of equity interest of companies with properties, and we are well positioned as first movers in our Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, thereby avoiding intense competition from competitors in Tier 1 markets. We believe that our low-cost strategy enables us to compete favorably in the commercial real estate market.

- 11 -



We believe the following strengths allow us to compete effectively in the market for the wholesale of goods:
  • Experienced Professionals. We have a well-trained and professional goods sales team that is experienced in the wholesale of goods.
     
  • Customer and Supplier Relationships. We have established and maintained close and stable relationships with some of our major customers and suppliers, some of whom have worked with us since inception. For example, our suppliers, Guangdong Guanghong International Trade Co., Ltd. and Hangzhou Yinli Lighting Co., Ltd. have had commercial arrangements with us since early 2009.

Our Growth Strategy

Commercial Leasing

Our goal is to become a leading commercial real estate developer and operator in China. We believe that China’s commercial real estate market provides us with significant growth opportunities. We intend to pursue the following strategies to achieve our goal:

  • acquire undervalued companies with high-quality, differentiated real estate assets in the better submarkets in our core markets;
     
  • improve the operating results of our existing properties through concentrated leasing, asset management, cost control and customer service efforts;
     
  • acquire commercial properties in central business districts so as to improve the overall quality of our portfolio and generate attractive returns over the long-term for our stockholders;
     
  • selectively dispose of properties no longer considered to be core holdings primarily due to location, age, quality and overall strategic fit; and
     
  • maintain a conservative, flexible balance sheet with ample liquidity to meet our funding needs and growth prospects.

Wholesale of Goods

Our goal is to keep the wholesale of goods a profitable business and to better support other areas of our business. We are keen to pursue the following strategies to achieve our goal:

  • improve the operating results of our wholesale business through developing new customers and strengthen suppliers management to enhance competitiveness by reducing purchase cost; and
     
  • improve the operating results of our online sales through replenishing more goods and high-grade goods and cooperating with other online platforms.
     
  • overseas partners to supply goods at a lower cost after securing new customers through local third party partners;
     
  • seek new customers to increase sales and to reduce the reliance on key customers;
     
  • maintain good customer and supplier relationships to ensure a sustainable business environment;
     
  • selectively discontinue the purchase and sale of goods that are no longer considered to be profitable.

Our Services

We are engaged in the investment, assignment, and leasing of commercial properties, in the operation of department stores, and in the wholesale of goods in China. In 2009, we expanded our business to include wholesale of goods, such as copper, steel, energy saving lamps, clothing and zinc slabs. In 2010, we began engaging in online sales of general consumer products manufactured by third-parties, but discontinued this business in November 2011 in order to comply with PRC government prohibitions of engagement in such activity by foreign invested companies.

Real Estate Activities and Services

Investing Activities – We acquire undervalued companies with commercial property leasing businesses in Tier 2 and 3 cities in China. When we have sufficient funding we sometimes also acquire newly built first-hand or second-hand commercial properties in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in China. We use either cash on hand or loan for effecting such acquisitions. The undervalued businesses or second hand commercial properties often have poor management or old interiors, and so we anticipate an increase in lease or rental income as well as property appreciation under our ownership of such properties. Newly built commercial properties in China generally do not include improvements such as renovations and furnishings. As a result we usually improve the interior on first-hand or second-hand properties that we acquire. When such properties are fully renovated, we will lease them to clients such as clothing retailers and supermarket chains. Currently, all of our purchased properties generate rental income. In a general investment procedure, we mainly generate lease revenue and incur acquisition and renovation costs. Approximately 57% of our properties are owned by us.

Property Management – We offer property management services to our commercial real estate clients in exchange for monthly management fees. In connection with such services, we expect that will be required to incur expense related to the hiring of staff to provide maintenance, security, and other services on such managed properties. None of our clients have taken advantage of our property management services to date and so we recorded nil management fees and related expenses for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Property Assignment – Assignment of property is a term used to describe the sale of property in China. Under the PRC’s Property Law all land resources belong to the Chinese government, so a property owner in China only owns the building on his property and has to obtain the right to use the land on which the building is located. A residential land use right will automatically renew when the use right term expires. When the property owner in China sells the building on his property, the attached land use right is usually assigned /transferred to the new property owner and the assignment/transfer is registered with the relevant governmental agency. We may assign or transfer our commercial properties to unrelated third parties if we believe that such property is underperforming or has become overvalued. When we assign such property, we generate sales revenue and our relevant property right is transferred to the purchaser.

Commercial Leasing – We lease commercial properties, such as department stores, and karaoke lounges, to third party customers in China. We obtain rights to our leased properties by purchasing or renting them from the original holders of such rights, and then we physically revamp or renovate the interior of such properties prior to leasing them. In general practice, we pay with our own cash for the renovation costs including the cost of renovation materials and labor. We earn revenues through the receipt of monthly lease payments from our tenants, most of which are department store tenants. We also earn revenue from occasionally providing consulting services to third party property owners who wish to sell or lease commercial properties.

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, our commercial real estate activities accounted for 2.3% and 2.7% of our total revenue, respectively, and 1.7% and 2.7%, of our total cost and expenses, respectively. We intend to focus and expand our commercial real estate business in the coming years.

Wholesale of Goods

We also engaged as distributors in the wholesale of goods, such as copper, iron powder, steel, energy saving lamps, clothing and zinc slabs. Our goods are sold in large quantities to wholesale customers in China, including to Hangzhou Hengding Plastic and Wood Tools Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Jinghua Industry Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Senghong Metal Co., Ltd., who use our goods for various purposes.

- 13 -


In 2009, we expanded our business to include the wholesale of goods, such as copper, steel, energy saving lamps, clothing and zinc slabs, to wholesale and retail customers in China. We have a network of buyers and suppliers with whom we have a good relationship, and we gain new customers or suppliers primarily through referrals. Our suppliers of copper and other raw materials are companies that provide large quantities of wholesale goods primarily used as raw materials by manufactures. We source goods for our customers from suppliers of such goods and we earn revenue from the difference in the price that we pay to suppliers and the price for which we sell such goods to our customers. In the conduct of such business we independently determine and negotiate prices with our suppliers and customers and we are the primary obligor in our purchase and sales transactions. We enter into sales contracts with our customers and are ultimately responsible for providing the products ordered by our customers in accordance with such sales contracts. Our suppliers are not involved in any of our sales contracts and do not have any obligation to our customers. We bear the risk of physical loss for products ordered by our customers, as well as all the credit risk for the amounts billed to them. We enter into separate agreements with suppliers and negotiate with them on price as well as other contract terms, including on the return of unsatisfactory goods within a certain period, however, we have no general arrangement with them to return unsold goods. Although our customers have specific requirements on the quality of goods ordered, they are not involved in the selection of our suppliers. Once our customer places an order and we place an order with our supplier based on our customer requirements, we generally take title of the goods prior to shipment and we are obligated to pay for such goods, regardless of whether our customer returns unsatisfactory goods to us within such period. In some circumstances we are also required to make advance deposits with suppliers, and where products are in high demand, we sometimes place orders and pay in advance for such products, regardless of whether we have received customer orders for such items or whether payment has been collected in full from a customer. Although we are obligated to pay for goods purchased from our suppliers, we sometimes orally offer credit terms to our customers, usually one to three months, based on negotiations with our customers. We accept payment from our customers and then pay the respective suppliers and arrange for delivery directly to such customer. As a result, the copper and other raw materials that we sell do not need to be stored by us and in fiscal year 2010 and 2011, we did not incur any warehousing expense for such goods. Our procedures for the wholesale of copper and other raw materials is the same as our procedures for selling lamps, clothing and other items, except that in our wholesale of clothing (conducted through our discontinued online sales business), we sometimes stored the goods in our storage facility prior to resale.

Our contracts for the sale of goods have increased from sixteen in 2010 to seventy-five in 2011, with sales to our top three customers, Shanghai Senhong Metal Co., Ltd., Shanghai Tongli Metal Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Rongkun Trade Co., Ltd, accounting for approximately 35%, 20% and 15%, respectively, or a combined 70% of our revenues from the purchase and sale of goods, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. We hope to increase the variety of our wholesale goods to include goods such as coal, while gradually building relationships with suppliers and customers. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, 97.7% and 97.2% of our revenues, respectively, and 98.3% and 97.3% of our total cost and expenses, respectively, were derived from our wholesale of goods business.

Online Sales

Prior to November 2011, we also sold general consumer products online to individual shoppers via our website http://www.d5jmall.com, operated by our subsidiary, TFS Technology, and the transaction volume was less than $20,000. Our online products included small home appliances (such as kitchenware and soybean blenders), shoes, socks, hats, suitcases, bags and toys, among others. The general consumer products were supplied by vendors of various types, which included clothing, small home appliance, kitchenware, home decoration and bedroom goods. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, revenue from our online sales only accounted for nil and 0.1% of revenues and nil and 0.08% of our expenses during the respective periods.

In November 2011, we terminated TFS Technology’s online sales business due to our inability to comply with PRC law prohibiting foreign invested companies from conducting online commercial business in China.

Supplier Relationships

The success of our wholesale business is dependent upon satisfactory and stable supplier relationships. Our primary suppliers for the year ended December 31, 2011, were Guangdong Guanghong International Trade Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Yuehe Mine Co., Ltd, which accounted for approximately 50% and 12%, respectively, of the expenses incurred by our wholesale of goods.

The loss of or disruption in supply from any one of these major suppliers may have a material adverse effect on our revenue and earnings. While we have no indication that any of our suppliers plan to discontinue selling us goods, we generally do not have long-term written contracts with our major suppliers that would require them to continue supplying us. However, we have not experienced significant difficulty in maintaining satisfactory sources of supply, and we generally expect that adequate sources of supply will continue to exist for the types of goods that we sell.

Our Customers and Marketing Efforts

Commercial Leasing

The customers of our commercial leasing business are the commercial tenants who lease our department stores, office buildings, hotels, and karaoke lounges. Our tenants include, among others, Trust-Mart, Bank of China, and Boshiwa International Holding Limited. Our top customers in 2011 were Shandong Zheshang Union Investment Co., Ltd (“Shandong Zheshang”), Trust-Mart, Boshiwa International Holding Limited, China National Gold Group Corporation, Jiangsu Tangyun Taiping Clothing Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Qunqi Gongmao Co., Ltd., however, none of these customers accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues for either period.

Our marketing campaign uses various advertising media to market our own and third-party commercial properties, including newspapers, magazines, television, radio, e-marketing, outdoor billboards, and members’ monthly mailing catalogs.

Wholesale of Goods

Our contracts for the sale of goods have increased from sixteen in 2010 to seventy-five in 2011, including to customers such as Shanghai Senhong Metal Co., Ltd., Shanghai Tongli Metal Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Rongkun Trade Co., Ltd, who accounted for approximately 35%, 20% and 15%, respectively, or a combined 70% of our revenues from the wholesale of goods, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

Little traditional advertisement is needed to market our products. We find new customers through third-party referrals and public relations campaigns. Such third parties include friends and affiliates of our employees and management. We also conduct seminars such as real estate investment seminars and business cooperation seminars to which we invite local entrepreneurs to attend, and we hand out brochures and compact discs with promotional content and exchange contact information with our attendees. A few such seminars are broadcasted on the local television news. We also host a year-end gala before the end of each Chinese Lunar New Year, which many of our clients and local entrepreneurs attend. We believe that such seminars and year-end parties serve as promotional events for us to enhance our corporate image and consolidate ties with our staff and with existing and prospective clients.

We aim to increase the variety of our wholesale goods while gradually building relationships with suppliers and customers. One of the most important categories of goods we want to add is energy goods, such as coal.

Competition

Commercial Leasing

Competition in the PRC commercial real estate market is based primarily on location and service. We compete mainly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets in Eastern and Northeastern China, including Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Shandong, Shenyang, Hebei, Shanxi, Gansu and Neimenggu province.

Our primary competition comes from domestic companies such as the Wangfujing Department Store Co., Ltd. and Intime Department Store (Group) Company Ltd. Wangfujing Department Store Co., Ltd. is a domestic competitor at the national level, whereas Intime Department Store (Group) Company Ltd. that has stores concentrated in the Southeastern region of China and is a current competitor in the Tier 2 and 3 markets. Additional competition comes from large companies such as Wanda Commercial Properties Co., Ltd. and China Resources Land Co., Ltd. that are both larger than us in terms of assets and sales volume, have a longer history of operation and possess greater name recognition, assets, personnel, sales, and financial resources. Many of these competitors are now China and Hong Kong public companies.

Wholesale of Goods

Our primary competition in the wholesale of goods business comes from domestic companies such as Zhejiang Provincial Energy Group Company Limited (“Zhejiang Provincial”) and Zhejiang Jiebang Holding Group, Inc. (“Zhejiang Jiebang”). Zhejiang Provincial is a state-owned energy enterprise with RMB 10 billion (approximately, $1.52 billion) in registered capital, that mainly trades energy products, such as coal and natural gas. Zhejiang Jiebang is a local conglomerate with RMB 100 million ($15.29 million) in registered capital, that is engaged in the wholesale of goods as one of its main businesses.

Intellectual Property

We own one trademark for “第五季百货,” which means “The Fifth Season General Merchandise.” The duration of the trademark is from December 14, 2010 to December 13, 2020. The trademark is used as a marketing tool to brand some of our commercial properties, including department stores, as it is a unique and easily remembered symbol for public consumers. We rely on the PRC intellectual property, contractual restrictions and laws against unfair competition to protect our brand name and trademarks. We believe our intellectual property is important to our success.

Employees

As of December 31, 2011, we employed a total of 355 full-time employees and no part-time employees. The following table sets forth the number of our employees by function.

Function   Number of Employees  
Management   42  
Administration and Finance   102  
Technicians   46  
Marketing and Sales   125  
Other   40  
Total   355  

Our employees in China participate in a state pension plan organized by Chinese municipal and provincial governments. We are required to contribute 80% of the premium while employees contribute 20% on a monthly basis to meet the contribution requirement, which differs from city to city. In addition, we are required by Chinese law to cover employees in China with various types of social insurance.

Regulation

Because our primary operating subsidiaries are located in China, we are regulated by China’s national and local laws, including those outlined in more detail below. We believe that we are in material compliance with all registrations and requirements for the issuance and maintenance of all licenses required by the governing bodies, and that all license fees and filings are current.

Environmental Regulations

The major environmental regulations applicable to us include the PRC Environmental Protection Law, the Administrative Regulation on Environment Protection on Construction Project promulgated and implemented on November 29, 1998 by the State Council, the Law on Appraising of Impact on Environment promulgated on October 28, 2002 and implemented on September 1, 2003 by the Standing Committee of National People’s Congress, the PRC Law on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution and its implementation rules, the PRC Law on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution and its implementation rules, the PRC Law on the Prevention and Control of Solid Waste Pollution, and the PRC Law on the Prevention and Control of Noise Pollution.

Dividend Distributions

Under applicable PRC regulations, foreign invested enterprises, or FIEs, in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a FIE in China is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its after-tax profits to staff welfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.

Taxation

Prior to January 1, 2008, the foreign invested enterprises set up in PRC shall pay income tax according to the Foreign-invested Enterprise and Foreign Enterprise Income Tax Law of PRC against its gains from business and operation and other gains. On March 16, 2007, the National People's Congress of China passed a new Enterprise Income Tax Law, or EIT Law, and on November 28, 2007, the State Council of China passed its implementing rules, which took effect on January 1, 2008. The EIT Law and its implementing rules impose a unified EIT of 25.0% on all domestic-invested enterprises and FIEs, unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions.

In addition to the changes to the current tax structure, under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a resident enterprise and will normally be subject to an EIT of 25% on its global income. The implementing rules define the term “de facto management bodies” as “an establishment that exercises, in substance, overall management and control over the production, business, personnel, accounting, etc., of a Chinese enterprise.” If the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we should be classified as a resident enterprise, then our organization’s global income will be subject to PRC income tax of 25%. For detailed discussion of PRC tax issues related to resident enterprise status, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—Under the New Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a ‘resident enterprise’ of China. Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC stockholders.”

In addition, the EIT Law and its implementing rules generally provide that a 10% withholding tax applies to China-sourced income derived by non-resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes unless the jurisdiction of incorporation of such enterprises’ shareholder has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. Under the Arrangement between the Mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income, effective as of January 1, 2007, such dividend withholding tax rate is reduced to 5% if a Hong Kong resident enterprise owns over 25% of the PRC company distributing the dividends. As Fifth Season HK is a Hong Kong company and owns 100% of our PRC subsidiaries, under the aforesaid arrangement, any dividends that our PRC subsidiaries pay may be subject to a withholding tax at the rate of 5%. However, if Fifth Season HK is not considered to be the “beneficial owner” of such dividends under the Notice Regarding Interpretation and Recognition of Beneficial Owners under Tax Treaties, promulgated by the State Administration of Taxation on October 27, 2009, such dividends would be subject to the withholding tax rate of 10%. The withholding tax rate of 5% or 10% applicable to Fifth Season will have a significant impact on the amount of dividends to be received by the Company and ultimately by stockholders.

Pursuant to the Provisional Regulation of China on Value Added Tax and its implementing rules, all entities and individuals that are engaged in the sale of goods, the provision of repairs and replacement services and the importation of goods in China are generally required to pay value added tax, or VAT, at a rate of 17.0% of the gross sales proceeds received, less any deductible VAT already paid or borne by the taxpayer. Further, when exporting goods, the exporter is entitled to some or all of the refund of VAT that it has already paid or borne.

Pursuant to the Provisional Regulation on Business Tax of PRC (1993), as amended 2008, and the Implementation Rules of the Provisional Regulation on Business Tax of PRC (1993), as amended 2008, all entities and individuals providing taxable services, transferring intangible assets or selling real estate within PRC must pay business tax. The rates of business tax shall be implemented in accordance with such regulation.

The Foreign-invested Enterprises Law of PRC (“the Foreign-invested Enterprises Law”) and its Implementation Regulation

The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, one of the legislatures of PRC, promulgated the Foreign-invested Enterprises Law on April 12, 1986 and amended it on October 31, 2000, and the State Council approved the Implementation Regulation on the Foreign-invested Enterprises Law on October 28, 1990 and amended it on April 12, 2001. The Foreign-invested Enterprises Law and its implementation regulation provide regulations in relation to the establishment of foreign invested enterprise, form of organization and registered capital, methods of contributing investments and the time limit, use of land, taxation, foreign exchange control, termination and liquidation.

- 17 -


With respect to profit distribution of foreign funded enterprise, according to above mentioned laws and regulations, foreign funded enterprise shall extract the reserve fund and the worker reward and benefit fund from the after-taxed profit. The amount to be set aside for the reserve fund must not be less than 10% of the enterprise’s after-taxed profit, and could cease to retain if the amount has reached to 50% of the registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its after-tax profits to staff welfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.

Provisions on Guiding the Orientation of Foreign Investment

The investment and establishment of Sino-foreign equity joint ventures, Sino-foreign cooperative joint ventures and wholly foreign-owned enterprises are subject to the Provisions on Guiding the Orientation of Foreign Investment promulgated by the State Council on February 11, 2002, and became effective as of April 1, 2002, and was amended in 2007. These provisions are the basis for the application of relevant policies in directing, examining and approving projects and enterprises with foreign investment. Foreign investment in PRC industries are either encouraged, permitted, restricted or prohibited. The encouraged, restricted and prohibited industry categories are listed in the Foreign Investment Industrial Guidance Catalogue, and any unlisted industry category is considered to be permitted. TFS Technology’s online-sale business, which accounted for nil and 0.1% of revenues, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, falls into the prohibited category, but our wholesale of goods and real estate operations fit within the permitted category. We have recently completed the process of terminating our online business operations. TFS Technology is now in compliance with PRC laws.

Measures for the Administration on Foreign Investment in Commercial Fields

Measures for the Administration on Foreign Investment in Commercial Fields was issued by the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China on April 16, 2004 indicates: where a foreign company, enterprise and other economic organization or individual establishes foreign-funded commercial enterprises within the China territory and undertakes business activities, the Measures shall be observed. The competent commerce departments of the state shall make supervision over and administration on foreign investment in commercial fields and the business activities of foreign-funded commercial enterprises according to law. The Measures stipulates the requirements of a foreign-funded commercial enterprise and a foreign-funded commercial enterprise which undertaking the commission agency, wholesale, retail and franchising business activities or opening a store.

Laws and Regulations in Relation to Labor

The Labor Law promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People Congress on July 5, 1994, implemented since January 1, 1995, and amended on August 27, 2009, has covered provisions relating to the execution of labor contracts and collective contracts, working time, rest and vacation, wages, labor safety and hygiene, special protection of female and under aged workers, career training, social insurance and benefit, labor disputes and management of labor disputes.

Pursuant to the Labor Contract Law promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People Congress on June 29, 2007, and implemented since January 1, 2008, and Implementation Regulation of Labor Contract Law of PRC (“Implementation Regulation of Labor Contract Law”), PRC employers and employees are required to enter into a labor contract when the labor relationship is established and each of the employer and employee is required to perform its obligation according to stipulations of such labor contract, including the payment of remuneration to the employee on time and in full.

Pursuant to the Social Insurance Law promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People Congress on December 28, 2010, to be implemented from July 1, 2011, employees are required participate in pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, occupational injury insurance and maternity insurance. Pension insurance, medical insurance and unemployment insurance fees are required to be jointly paid by the employee and employer, while the fees for occupational injury insurance and maternity insurance are required to be paid by employer.

Pursuant to the Interim Regulation Concerning the Collection of Social Insurance Fees promulgated and implemented on January 22, 1999 by the State Council, and the Interim Measures Concerning the Administration of the Registration of Social Insurance Law promulgated and implemented on March 19, 1999 by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security of PRC (“Ministry of Labor and Social Security”), a PRC employer is required to register social insurance with the social insurance authorities, and purchase pension insurance, medical insurance and unemployment insurance together with its employees.

According to the current national standard in China, each executive officer receives basic pension and personal account pension benefits on a monthly basis after retiring. In general, men’s retiring age is 60 whereas women’s retiring age is 55. People who have their pension contribution paid for more than 15 years are eligible for the state pension scheme. Total pension received consists of basic pension and personal account pension. The formula for determining an individual’s basic pension is: Basic Pension = the average monthly salary in registered province in the previous year x (1+personal average contribution index) / 2 x years of contribution x 1%. Generally, the basic pension amounts to approximately 20% of an individual’s average monthly salary in his registered province in the previous year. The formula for determining an individual’s personal account pension is: Personal Account Pension = personal account pension savings / total months (total months are 170 if retiring age is 55 or 139 if retiring age is 60). The pension scheme varies from place to place in China depending on the average local salary and local policies and is a relatively new system compared to its U.S. counterpart. The PRC government has been working consistently to improve the system, and therefore the state pension scheme may be subject to change in the future.

Foreign Currency Exchange

The principal regulation governing foreign currency exchange in China is the Foreign Currency Administration Rules (1996), as amended (2008). Under these Rules, RMB is freely convertible for current account items, such as trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not for capital account items, such as direct investment, loan or investment in securities outside China unless the prior approval of, and/or registration with, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the People’s Republic of China, or SAFE, or its local counterparts (as the case may be) is obtained.

Pursuant to the Foreign Currency Administration Rules, FIEs in China may purchase foreign currency without the approval of SAFE for trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions by providing commercial documents evidencing these transactions. They may also retain foreign exchange (subject to a cap approved by SAFE) to satisfy foreign exchange liabilities or to pay dividends. In addition, if a foreign company acquires a company in China, the acquired company will also become an FIE. However, the relevant PRC government authorities may limit or eliminate the ability of FIEs to purchase and retain foreign currencies in the future. In addition, foreign exchange transactions for direct investment, loan and investment in securities outside China are still subject to limitations and require approvals from, and/or registration with, SAFE.

Land Use Rights

All urban land in China is owned by the State. Pursuant to Interim Regulations of the People’s Republic of China Concerning the Assignment and Transfer of the Right to the Use of the State-owned Land in the Urban Areas, which became effective on May 19, 1990, individuals and companies are permitted to acquire rights to possess, use, and benefit from land underlying urban land for specific purposes, including residential, industrial and commercial purposes, as evidenced by a property ownership certificate in the name of the holder. Land use rights are granted for a period of 70 years for residential purposes, 50 years for industrial purposes and 40 years for commercial purposes. These periods may be renewed at the expiration of the initial and any subsequent terms. Upon approval by both the land administrative authorities and city planning authorities, industrial parcel uses may be converted to other uses, and the duration and other clauses in the land use right granting agreement will be revised to match the new use. Granted land use rights are transferable and may be used as security for borrowings and other obligations. We have received the necessary land use right certificates for the properties described under “Properties.”

Insurance

Except for vehicle insurance, we do not have any business liability, interruption or litigation insurance coverage for our operations in China. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products. While business interruption insurance is available to a limited extent in China, we have determined that the risks of interruption, cost of such insurance and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us to have such insurance. Therefore, we are subject to business liability exposure. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—we have limited business insurance coverage in China.”

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this report, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section entitled “Special Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this report.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

The recent financial crisis could negatively affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The recent credit crisis and turmoil in the global financial system may have an impact on our business and our financial condition, and we may face challenges if conditions in the financial markets do not improve. Our ability to access the capital markets may be restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to raise capital, which could have an impact on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions. Our business requires access to substantial financing. If we are not able to obtain adequate financing in a timely manner, our ability to complete existing projects and expand our business could be materially adversely affected. In addition, these economic conditions also impact levels of consumer spending, which have recently deteriorated significantly and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. Real estate market generally declines during recessionary periods and other periods where disposable income is adversely affected. If demand for our products fluctuates as a result of economic conditions or otherwise, our revenue and gross margin could be harmed.

Our business is susceptible to fluctuations in the real estate market of China, especially in certain areas of southeastern China where our operations are concentrated, which may adversely affect our sales and results of operations.

Our business depends substantially on the conditions of the PRC real estate market which is still in a relatively early stage of development. Demand for real estate in China has grown rapidly in the recent decade but such growth is often coupled with volatility in market conditions and fluctuations in real estate prices. It is extremely difficult to predict how much and when demand will develop, as many social, political, economic, legal, and other factors, most of which are beyond our control, may affect the development of the market. For example, the rapid expansion of the real estate market in major provinces and cities in China in the early 1990s, such as Shanghai, Beijing and Guangdong province, led to an oversupply in the mid-1990s and a corresponding fall in real estate values and rentals in the second half of the decade. Following a period of rising real estate prices and transaction volume in most major cities, the industry experienced a severe downturn in 2008, with transaction volume in many major cities declining by more than 40% compared to 2007.

The level of uncertainty is increased by the limited availability of accurate financial and market information and the overall low level of transparency in the PRC, especially in tier-two cities that have lagged in progress in these aspects when compared to tier-one cities. To the extent fluctuations in the real estate market adversely affect real estate transaction volumes or prices, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

- 20 -


Our sales will be affected if mortgage financing becomes more costly or otherwise becomes less attractive.

Substantially all purchasers of our commercial properties rely on borrowings with a certain level of mortgage to fund their purchases and our outstanding short-term borrowings have a weighted average interest rate of 14.53% . An increase in interest rates may significantly increase the cost of mortgage financing, thus affecting the affordability of our commercial properties. In 2008, the People Bank of China changed the lending rates five times. The benchmark lending rate for loans with a term of over five years, which affects mortgage rates, was increased to 5.94% on December 31, 2008. The PRC government and commercial banks may also increase the down payment requirement, impose other conditions or otherwise change the regulatory framework in a manner that would make mortgage financing unavailable or unattractive to potential property purchasers. If the availability or attractiveness of mortgage financing is reduced or limited, many of our prospective customers may not be able to purchase our properties and, as a result, our business, liquidity and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our success relies on our ability to expand our commercial properties in the Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

Many of our business and operation are concentrated in Zhejiang and Shandong provinces and other surrounding areas. If we are unable to successfully acquire or lease properties in other target areas, our future growth may be limited and we may not generate adequate returns to cover our investment in other area.

If we are unable to respond to the rapid changes in our industries and changes in our customers’ requirements and preferences, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

If we are unable, for legal, financial or other reasons, to adapt in a timely manner to changing market conditions or customer requirements, we could lose customers and market share. If our property location and our services cannot meet customers’ requirements and preferences, our operating results could be adversely affected. The nature of commercial property industries will require that we continually improve the cost-effectiveness and reliability of our commercial properties and services. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to enhance our existing products and services and anticipate changing customer requirements by providing good quality at low cost commercial properties in promising locations.

We may not be able to maintain or improve our competitive position in the commercial property industries, and we expect this competition to continue to be intense.

China’s commercial property industries are large and established, though rapidly evolving. Our primary competition comes from domestic companies such as Wanda Commercial Properties Co., Ltd and China Resources (Group) Company Ltd. Our competitors are larger than us and possess greater name recognition, assets, personnel, sales and financial resources. Most of the competitors have a long history of operation and have gone public in mainland China or Hong Kong. These entities may be able to respond more quickly to changing market conditions to meet customer requirements or are otherwise superior to our properties and services and may be able to more effectively market their products than we can because they have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. Increased competition could require us to reduce our prices, result in our receiving fewer customer orders, and result in our loss of market share. We cannot assure you that we will be able to distinguish ourselves in a competitive market. To the extent that we are unable to successfully compete against existing and future competitors, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Due to our rapid growth in recent years, our past results may not be indicative of our future performance so evaluating our business and prospects may be difficult.

Our business has grown and evolved rapidly in recent years as demonstrated by our growth in revenues from approximately from $56 million in fiscal year 2010 to $199 million in fiscal year 2011, representing a compounded growth rate of approximately 255%. We may not be able to achieve similar growth in future periods, and our historical operating results may not provide a meaningful basis for evaluating our business, financial performance and prospects. Therefore, you should not rely on our past results or our historical rate of growth as an indication of our future performance.

We are subject to conflicts of interest arising out of our relationships with our subsidiaries, which could result in decisions that have an adverse impact on our business and operations.

We are subject to conflicts of interest arising out of our relationships with our subsidiaries that engage in the commercial property investment or lease business. Generally, we set up a subsidiary according to where the commercial property project is located. When the board confirms a commercial property project, we set up a new subsidiary in order to sign contracts locally with the seller or lessor and to better operate the business locally. This practice results in the establishment of many subsidiaries engaging in the same business, namely the investment or lease of commercial properties. In January 2012, our Board of Directors adopted an Interested Transactions Policy and Procedures (the "Policy") to safeguard the Company and its stockholders from conflicts of interest. For details regarding the Policy, see our disclosure under the "Transactions with Related Persons - Interested Transactions Policy and Procedures" heading in this report. Under the Policy, all Interested Transactions are subject to approval or ratification in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Policy. The Board of Directors, or a committee established by the Board of Directors, must review the material facts of all Interested Transactions that require approval or ratification under the Policy and either approve or disapprove entry into the Interested Transaction. In evaluating potential investment, certain retail properties may be appropriate for acquisition by either us or one of our subsidiaries. When determining the allocation of ownership of such property among us and our subsidiaries, our Board of Directors evaluates each commercial property by considering the investment amount, available capital, geographic location and tenant concentration. In addition, when an Interested Transaction occurs between two subsidiaries, for example where one subsidiary purchases or leases property from or managed by another subsidiary, our Board of Directors determines the lease rate for such transaction based on comparable market rates in adjacent streets or nearby areas. Other costs associated with leasing, such as utility bills, are either determined based on a standardized rates governed by the local authority or the market rate. When we are interested in commercial real estate owned or managed by an affiliate, our Board of Directors will hire an independent real estate appraiser to appraise such real estate to establish the fair market value for such property to assist in the determination of a purchase price. Despite these procedures, we cannot assure you that the decisions we make in connection with such Interested Transactions will not later have a material adverse impact on our business and operations.

In order to grow at the pace expected by management, we will require additional capital to support our long-term growth strategies. If we are unable to obtain additional capital in future years, we may be unable to proceed with our plans and we may be forced to curtail our operations.

Our working capital requirements and the cash flow provided by future operating activities, if any, will vary greatly from quarter to quarter, depending on the volume of business during the period and payment terms with our customers. We will require additional working capital to support our long-term growth strategies, which includes identifying suitable targets for horizontal or vertical mergers or acquisitions so as to enhance the overall productivity and benefit from economies of scale. However, due to the uncertainty arising out of domestic and global economic conditions and the ongoing tightening of domestic credit markets, we may not be able to generate adequate cash flows or obtain adequate levels of additional financing, whether through equity financing, debt financing or other sources. Even if we are able to get additional financing, it might not be on terms that are favorable to the Company. Furthermore, additional financings could result in significant dilution to our earnings per share or the issuance of securities with rights superior to our current outstanding securities, including registration rights. If we are unable to raise additional financing, we may be unable to implement our long-term growth strategies, develop or enhance our products and services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures on a timely basis, if at all. In addition, a lack of additional financing could force us to substantially curtail operations.

A substantial amount of our sales revenue is derived from sales to a limited number of customers, and our business will suffer if sales to these customers decline.

A significant portion of our sales revenue from our wholesale business historically has been derived from a limited number of wholesale customers. Our top three customers accounted for approximately 70%, and our top four customers accounted for 74% of our revenues in fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively. We do not have long term contractual arrangements or regular negotiation with these wholesale customers. The loss of one or more of these customers could damage our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on a limited number of suppliers for our goods wholesale business and the loss of one or more of these suppliers may adversely affect our business.

The success of our wholesale business is dependent upon satisfactory and stable supplier relationships. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had three major suppliers that accounted for 62% and 72%, respectively, of our total purchase of goods. We generally do not have long-term written contracts with our major suppliers that would require them to continue supplying us. The loss of or disruption in supply from any one of these major suppliers may have a material adverse effect on our revenue and earnings.

- 22 -


Furthermore, there is a risk that we may have disputes with our suppliers, including disputes regarding the quality and timeliness of goods provided by these suppliers. A failure by one or more of our suppliers to satisfy the agreed-upon contracts may materially and adversely impact our ability to perform our obligations to our customers, could expose us to liability and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts and orders.

If we are unable to attract and retain senior management and qualified technical and sales personnel, our operations, financial condition and prospects will be materially adversely affected.

Our future success depends in part on the contributions of our management team and key technical and sales personnel and our ability to attract and retain qualified new personnel. In particular, our success depends on the continuing employment of our CEO, Mr. Shaoping Lu; our President Mr. Lianmo Wu, our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Glen Shear, and our Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Xiaolei Xing. There is significant competition in our industry for qualified managerial, technical and sales personnel and we cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our key senior managerial, technical and sales personnel or that we will be able to attract, integrate and retain other such personnel that we may require in the future. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel in the future, our business, operations, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

Our quarterly operating results are likely to fluctuate, which may affect our stock price.

Our quarterly revenues, expenses, operating results and gross profit margins vary from quarter to quarter and could result in a decrease in the market price of our common stock. The reasons our quarterly results may fluctuate include: variations in profit margins attributable to market conditions and changes in the general competitive and economic conditions. Period to period comparisons of our results should not be relied on as indications of future performance.

We have limited insurance coverage in China.

While business interruption insurance and other types of insurance are available to a limited extent in China, we have determined that the risks of interruption, cost of such insurance and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us to have such insurance. Therefore, our existing insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all risks associated with our business. As a result, we may be required to pay for financial and other losses, damages and liabilities, including those caused by natural disasters and other events beyond our control, out of our own funds, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our limited ability to protect our intellectual property, and the possibility that this technology could inadvertently infringe technology owned by others, may adversely affect our ability to compete.

We own the trademark “第五季百货”. We rely on the PRC intellectual property and anti-unfair competition laws and contractual restrictions to protect brand name and trademarks. We believe our trademark and other intellectual property are important to our success. Historically, China has not protected intellectual property rights to the same extent as the United States, and infringement of intellectual property rights continues to pose a serious risk of doing business in China. Monitoring and preventing unauthorized use is difficult. If we are unable to adequately protect our brand, trademarks and other intellectual property rights, our reputation may be harmed and our business may be adversely affected.

We may be exposed to potential risks relating to our internal controls over financial reporting and our ability to have those controls attested to by our independent auditors.

As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX 404, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company’s internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports, including Form 10-K and a report of our management is included under Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Under current law, we were subject to these requirements beginning with our annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. We can provide no assurance that we will comply with all of the requirements imposed thereby.

- 23 -


We believe that our accounting team lacks prior experience in the preparation and consolidation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and that our internal controls over financial reporting is not effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. As such, we intend to seek out and retain additional accounting staff with more experience in the preparation and consolidation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the interim, we have engaged a U.S. GAAP consultant, to supervise our book keeping and the preparation of our financial statements under U.S. GAAP commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2011, and to assist us with the preparation of this annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. We can provide no assurance that our management will conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, or that our independent registered public accounting firm will issue a positive opinion on our internal controls over financial reporting when we are required under applicable laws.

Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could result in our not being able to accurately report our financial results, prevent or detect fraud or provide timely and reliable financial and other information pursuant to the reporting obligations we have as a public company, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, it could cause our investors to lose confidence in the information we report, which could adversely affect the price of our stock price. In the event that we cannot remediate any identified significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls in a timely manner, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA

One of our PRC Subsidiaries failed to make its capital contribution per the requirements of PRC laws and regulations, this PRC Subsidiary may face the possibility of revocation of its business licenses.

The amount of registered capital of one of the PRC Subsidiaries, The Fifth Season (Zhejiang) Technology Co., Ltd., is $5,000,000 and, 15% of the registered capital, $750,000, was paid in by April 14, 2010, which is two months later than the required deadline; the amount of Kairui (Hangzhou) Commercial Property Management Co., Ltd. is $10,000,000, 15% of which is required to be paid in by November 2, 2010, but Kairui (Hangzhou) Commercial Property Management Co., Ltd has not made capital contribution yet. As The Fifth Season (Zhejiang) Technology Co., Ltd. and Kairui (Hangzhou) Commercial Property Management Co., Ltd. did not pay in the first phase registered capital in accordance with the time limit of PRC law, it may result in invalidity of the approval license of foreign-owned enterprise and revocation of business license by the administration for industry and commerce. However, TFS Technology has obtained an extension of time from the local government to make its registered capital contribution, and we have paid it in full in July, 2011, and we do not intend to pay the registered capital of Kairui Real Estate and have elected to wind up its operations instead.

If we become directly subject to the recent scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity involving U.S.-listed Chinese companies, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate and resolve the matter which could harm our business operations, stock price and reputation and could result in a loss of your investment in our stock, especially if such matter cannot be addressed and resolved favorably.

Recently, U.S. public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China, particularly companies like us which have completed so-called reverse merger transactions, have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. Much of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity has centered around financial and accounting irregularities and mistakes, a lack of effective internal controls over financial accounting, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. As a result of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listed Chinese companies has sharply decreased in value and, in some cases, has become virtually worthless. Many of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits, SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations. It is not clear what effect this sector-wide scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity will have on our Company, our business and our stock price. If we become the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we will have to expend significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend our Company. This situation will be costly and time consuming and distract our management from growing our company. If such allegations are not proven to be groundless, our Company and business operations will be severely and your investment in our stock could be rendered worthless.

- 24 -


Changes in China's political or economic situation could harm us and our operating results.

Economic reforms adopted by the Chinese government have had a positive effect on the economic development of the country, but the government could change these economic reforms or any of the legal systems at any time. This could either benefit or damage our operations and profitability. Some of the things that could have this effect are:

  • Level of government involvement in the economy;
     
  • Control of foreign exchange;
     
  • Methods of allocating resources;
     
  • Balance of payments position;
     
  • International trade restrictions; and
     
  • International conflict.

The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, in many ways. For example, state-owned enterprises still constitute a large portion of the Chinese economy, and weak corporate governance and the lack of a flexible currency exchange policy still prevail in China. As a result of these differences, we may not develop in the same way or at the same rate as might be expected if the Chinese economy was similar to those of the OECD member countries.

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could limit the legal protections available to you and us.

We conduct substantially all of our business through our operating subsidiaries in the PRC. Our operating subsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws applicable to foreign-invested enterprises. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes, and prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, a series of new PRC laws and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, since the PRC legal system continues to evolve rapidly, the interpretations of many laws, regulations, and rules are not always uniform, and enforcement of these laws, regulations, and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to you and us. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. In addition, except for our CEO, Mr. Shaoping Lu, and our CFO, Mr. Glen Shear, all of our executive officers and directors are residents of China and not of the United States, and substantially all the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it could be difficult for investors to affect service of process in the United States or to enforce a judgment obtained in the United States against our Chinese operations and subsidiaries.

You may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us.

Most of our assets are located outside of the United States and most of our current operations are conducted in the PRC. In addition, all of our directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. A substantial portion of the assets of these persons is located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors, most of whom are not residents in the United States and the substantial majority of whose assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts. Our counsel as to PRC law has advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. Courts in China may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other arrangements that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments with the United States. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security, or the public interest. So it is uncertain whether a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States.

- 25 -


The PRC government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.

The PRC government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property, and other matters. We believe that our operations in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, the central or local governments of the jurisdictions in which we operate may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations.

Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties or joint ventures.

Future inflation in China may inhibit our ability to conduct business in China.

In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and highly fluctuating rates of inflation. During the past ten years, the rate of inflation in China has been as high as 5.9% and as low as -0.8% . These factors have led to the adoption by the Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. High inflation may in the future cause the Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby harm the market for our products and our company.

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our sales effectively.

The majority of our sales will be settled in RMB, and any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenue generated in RMB to fund any future business activities outside China or to make dividend or other payments in U.S. dollars. Although the Chinese government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain, including primarily the restriction that foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents, at those banks in China authorized to conduct foreign exchange business. In addition, conversion of RMB for capital account items, including direct investment and loans, is subject to governmental approval in China, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. We cannot be certain that the Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB.

Fluctuations in exchange rates could adversely affect our business and the value of our securities.

The value of our common stock will be indirectly affected by the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and RMB and between those currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated. Appreciation or depreciation in the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend we issue that will be exchanged into U.S. dollars, as well as earnings from, and the value of, any U.S. dollar-denominated investments we make in the future.

Since July 2005, the RMB has no longer been pegged to the U.S. dollar. Although the People’s Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the RMB may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.

- 26 -


Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions. While we may enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these transactions may be limited, and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all. In addition, our foreign currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into foreign currencies.

Restrictions under PRC law on our PRC subsidiaries' ability to make dividends and other distributions could materially and adversely affect our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could benefit our business, pay dividends to you, and otherwise fund and conduct our business.

Substantially all of our sales are earned by our PRC subsidiaries. However, PRC regulations restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make dividends and other payments to their offshore parent company. PRC legal restrictions permit payments of dividends by our PRC subsidiaries only out of their accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our PRC subsidiaries are also required under PRC laws and regulations to allocate at least 10% of their annual after-tax profits determined in accordance with PRC GAAP to a statutory general reserve fund until the amounts in said fund reaches 50% of their registered capital. Allocations to these statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to us in the form of loans, advances, or cash dividends. Any limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to transfer funds to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends and otherwise fund and conduct our business.

Failure to comply with PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident stockholders to personal liability, limit our ability to acquire PRC companies or to inject capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute profits to us or otherwise materially adversely affect us.

In October 2005, SAFE issued the Notice on Relevant Issues in the Foreign Exchange Control over Financing and Return Investment Through Special Purpose Companies by Residents Inside China, generally referred to as Circular 75, which required PRC residents to register with the competent local SAFE branch before establishing or acquiring control over an offshore special purpose company, or SPV, for the purpose of engaging in an equity financing outside of China on the strength of domestic PRC assets originally held by those residents.

We have asked our stockholders who are PRC residents as defined in Circular 75 to register with the relevant branch of SAFE, as currently required, in connection with their equity interests in us and our acquisitions of equity interests in our PRC subsidiaries. However, we cannot provide any assurances that they can obtain the above SAFE registrations required by Circular 75. Moreover, because of uncertainty over how Circular 75 will be interpreted and implemented, and how or whether SAFE will apply it to us, we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies. For example, our present and prospective PRC subsidiaries' ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with Circular 75 by our PRC resident beneficial holders.

In addition, such PRC residents may not always be able to complete the necessary registration procedures required by Circular 75. We also have little control over either our present or prospective direct or indirect stockholders or the outcome of such registration procedures. A failure by our PRC resident beneficial holders or future PRC resident stockholders to comply with Circular 75, if SAFE requires it, could subject these PRC resident beneficial holders to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our subsidiaries' ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

We may be unable to complete a business combination transaction efficiently or on favorable terms due to complicated merger and acquisition regulations which became effective on September 8, 2006.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, promulgated the Regulation on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Regulation, which became effective on September 8, 2006. The M&A Regulation, among other things, governs the approval process by which a PRC company may participate in an acquisition of assets or equity interests. Depending on the structure of the transaction, the M&A Regulation will require the PRC parties to make a series of applications and supplemental applications to the government agencies. In some instances, the application process may require the presentation of economic data concerning a transaction, including appraisals of the target business and evaluations of the acquirer, which are designed to allow the government to assess the transaction. Government approvals will have expiration dates by which a transaction must be completed and reported to the government agencies. Compliance with the M&A Regulation is likely to be more time consuming and expensive than in the past and the government can now exert more control over the combination of two businesses. Accordingly, due to the M&A Regulation, our ability to engage in business combination transactions has become significantly more complicated, time consuming and expensive, and we may not be able to negotiate a transaction that is acceptable to our stockholders or sufficiently protect their interests in a transaction.

- 27 -


The M&A Regulation allows PRC government agencies to assess the economic terms of a business combination transaction. Parties to a business combination transaction may have to submit to the Ministry of Commerce and other relevant government agencies an appraisal report, an evaluation report and the acquisition agreement, all of which form part of the application for approval, depending on the structure of the transaction. The M&A Regulation also prohibits a transaction at an acquisition price obviously lower than the appraised value of the PRC business or assets and in certain transaction structures, requires that consideration must be paid within defined periods, generally not in excess of a year. The M&A Regulation also limits our ability to negotiate various terms of the acquisition, including aspects of the initial consideration, contingent consideration, holdback provisions, indemnification provisions and provisions relating to the assumption and allocation of assets and liabilities. Transaction structures involving trusts, nominees and similar entities are prohibited. Therefore, the M&A Regulation may impede our ability to negotiate and complete a business combination transaction on financial terms that satisfy our investors and protect our stockholders’ economic interests.

In addition to the above risks, in many instances, we will seek to structure transactions in a manner that avoids the need to make applications or a series of applications with Chinese regulatory authorities under the M&A Regulation. If we fail to effectively structure an acquisition in a manner that avoids the need for such applications or if the Chinese government interprets the requirements of the M&A Regulation in a manner different from our understanding, then acquisitions that we have effected may be unwound or subject to rescission. Also, if the Chinese government determines that our structure of any of our acquisitions does not comply with the M&A Regulation, then we may also be subject to fines and penalties.

Under the New Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China. Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC stockholders.

The EIT Law and its implementing rules became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the EIT Law define de facto management as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise.

On April 22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice Concerning Relevant Issues Regarding Cognizance of Chinese Investment Controlled Enterprises Incorporated Offshore as Resident Enterprises pursuant to Criteria of de facto Management Bodies, or the Notice, further interpreting the application of the EIT Law and its implementation non-Chinese enterprise or group controlled offshore entities. Pursuant to the Notice, an enterprise incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction and controlled by a Chinese enterprise or group will be classified as a “non-domestically incorporated resident enterprise” if (i) its senior management in charge of daily operations reside or perform their duties mainly in China; (ii) its financial or personnel decisions are made or approved by bodies or persons in China; (iii) its substantial assets and properties, accounting books, corporate chops, board and shareholder minutes are kept in China; and (iv) at least half of its directors with voting rights or senior management often resident in China. A resident enterprise would be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on its worldwide income and must pay a withholding tax at a rate of 10% when paying dividends to its non-PRC shareholders. However, it remains unclear as to whether the Notice is applicable to an offshore enterprise incorporated by a Chinese natural person. Nor are detailed measures on imposition of tax from non-domestically incorporated resident enterprises are available. Therefore, it is unclear how tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each case.

We may be deemed to be a resident enterprise by Chinese tax authorities. If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on financing proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the EIT Law and its implementing rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiaries would qualify as “tax-exempt income,” we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally, it is possible that future guidance issued with respect to the new “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC stockholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC stockholders from transferring our shares. We are actively monitoring the possibility of “resident enterprise” treatment for the 2011 tax year and are evaluating appropriate organizational changes to avoid this treatment, to the extent possible.

- 28 -


If we were treated as a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we would be subject to taxation in both the U.S. and China, and our PRC tax may not be creditable against our U.S. tax.

We face uncertainty from China’s Circular on Strengthening the Administration of Enterprise Income Tax on Non Resident Enterprises' Share Transfer that was released in December 2009 with retroactive effect from January 1, 2008.

The Chinese State Administration of Taxation, or SAT, released a circular on December 15, 2009 that addresses the transfer of shares by nonresident companies, generally referred to as Circular 698. Circular 698, which is effective retroactively to January 1, 2008, may have a significant impact on many companies that use offshore holding companies to invest in China. Circular 698, which provides parties with a short period of time to comply with its requirements, indirectly taxes foreign companies on gains derived from the indirect sale of a Chinese company. Where a foreign investor indirectly transfers equity interests in a Chinese resident enterprise by selling the shares in an offshore holding company, and the latter is located in a country or jurisdiction where the effective tax burden is less than 12.5% or where the offshore income of his, her, or its residents is not taxable, the foreign investor is required to provide the tax authority in charge of that Chinese resident enterprise with the relevant information within 30 days of the transfers. Moreover, where a foreign investor indirectly transfers equity interests in a Chinese resident enterprise through an abuse of form of organization and there are no reasonable commercial purposes such that the corporate income tax liability is avoided, the PRC tax authority will have the power to re-assess the nature of the equity transfer in accordance with PRC’s “substance-over-form” principle and deny the existence of the offshore holding company that is used for tax planning purposes. There is uncertainty as to the application of Circular 698. For example, while the term “indirectly transfer” is not defined, it is understood that the relevant PRC tax authorities have jurisdiction regarding requests for information over a wide range of foreign entities having no direct contact with China. Moreover, the relevant authority has not yet promulgated any formal provisions or formally declared or stated how to calculate the effective tax in the country or jurisdiction and to what extent and the process of the disclosure to the tax authority in charge of that Chinese resident enterprise. In addition, there are not any formal declarations with regard to how to decide “abuse of form of organization” and “reasonable commercial purpose,” which can be utilized by us to balance if our Company complies with the Circular 698. As a result, we may become at risk of being taxed under Circular 698 and we may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with Circular 698 or to establish that we should not be taxed under Circular 698, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Chinese anti-corruption laws, and any determination that we violated these laws could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute, for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations, agreements with third parties, and make most of our sales in China. The PRC also strictly prohibits bribery of government officials. Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by the employees, consultants, sales agents, or distributors of our Company, even though they may not always be subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents, or distributors of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA or Chinese anti-corruption laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the U.S. government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

- 29 -


The disclosures in our reports and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and our other public pronouncements are not subject to the scrutiny of any regulatory bodies in the PRC. Accordingly, our public disclosure should be reviewed in light of the fact that no governmental agency that is located in China where all of our operations and business are located have conducted any due diligence on our operations or reviewed or cleared any of our disclosure.

We are regulated by the SEC and our reports and other filings with the SEC are subject to SEC review in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Unlike public reporting companies whose operations are located primarily in the United States, however, all of our operations are located in China. Since all of our operations and business takes place in China, it may be more difficult for the Staff of the SEC to overcome the geographic and cultural obstacles that are present when reviewing our disclosure. These same obstacles are not present for similar companies whose operations or business take place entirely or primarily in the United States. Furthermore, our SEC reports and other disclosure and public pronouncements are not subject to the review or scrutiny of any PRC regulatory authority. For example, the disclosure in our SEC reports and other filings are not subject to the review of the CSRC, a PRC regulator that is tasked with oversight of the capital markets in China. Accordingly, you should review our SEC reports, filings and our other public pronouncements with the understanding that no local regulator has done any due diligence on our company and with the understanding that none of our SEC reports, other filings or any of our other public pronouncements has been reviewed or otherwise been scrutinized by any local regulator.

RISKS RELATED TO THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK GENERALLY

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The OTC Bulletin Board is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. The quotation of our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future. We plan to list our common stock as soon as practicable. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of any stock exchange, or that we will be able to maintain any such listing.

We may be subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. Our common stock is a “penny stock” and is subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or the Penny Stock Rule. This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market, thus possibly making it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

- 30 -


There can be no assurance that our common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock were exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board deems relevant.

Certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation may make it more difficult for a third party to effect a change-of-control.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the board of directors to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the board of directors without further action by the stockholders. These terms may include preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any preferred stock could diminish the rights of holders of our common stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of the board of directors to issue preferred stock could make it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire or effect a change-in-control, which in turn could prevent our stockholders from recognizing a gain in the event that a favorable offer is extended and could materially and negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

Although Article 199 of the Real Right Law of People’s Republic of China allows more than one mortgage on the same real estate property, in general practice, banks in China usually approve only one mortgage on any one piece of property in order to manage risk.

The following chart shows the location and general character of all materially important real properties now held or intended to be acquired by or leased to us or our subsidiaries, including the information as to the present or proposed use of such properties and their suitability and adequacy for such use.

The Fifth Season Department Store in Tengzhou, the Fifth Season Lomo Department Store in Zibo, the Fifth Season Department Store in Liyang, the Fifth Season Department Store in Wuxi, the Fifth Season Lomo Department Store in Shanghai, Suqian Department Store, and Binzhou Department Store are leased to department stores.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as noted below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

We are a defendant in a lawsuit filed by a former lessor for alleged breach of contract. The plaintiff, Liyang Jinghui Property Development Company filed a claim on October 20, 2011 with Changzhou Intermediate People’s Court, alleges that we failed to pay rent for leased property in accordance with the terms of a fifteen year lease agreement, dated July 29, 2009, between us and the plaintiff, and that we subleased the property without the plaintiff’s approval. The plaintiff is asking for actual and punitive damages totaling approximately $1 million. The hearing date is not scheduled.

We believe that the lawsuit is completely without merit and intend to vigorously defend our position. We do not believe the outcome of this lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. However, we are unable at this time to predict the outcome of this litigation or whether we will incur any liability associated with the litigation, or to estimate the effect such outcome would have on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Not applicable.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Overview

We are engaged in the investment, assignment, and leasing of commercial properties, in the operation of department stores, and in the wholesale of goods in China. In 2009, we expanded our business to include the wholesale of goods, such as copper, steel, energy saving lamps, clothing and zinc slabs, and in 2010, we began engaging in online sales of general consumer products manufactured by third-parties, we discontinued this business in November 2011 in order to comply with PRC government prohibitions of engagement in such activity by foreign invested companies.

As at December 31, 2011, we invested or leased seven commercial properties in Southeastern China, encompassing approximately 152,244 square meters, which includes three properties comprising 93,010 square meters, or approximately 61% of the properties, directly owned by us. Many of the properties are positioned as department stores with large commercial tenants, including but not limited to Trust-Mart, Bank of China, and Boshiwa International Holding Limited. We rely on the knowledge of our board of directors and management when making investment decisions. We intend to put additional investment policies in place as we expand our commercial real estate business in the coming years.

In 2009, we expanded our business to include the wholesale of goods, such as copper, steel, energy saving lamps, clothing and zinc slabs, to wholesale and retail customers in China. We have a network of buyers and suppliers with whom we have a good relationship, and we gain new customers or suppliers primarily through referrals. Our suppliers of copper and other raw materials are companies that provide large quantities of wholesale goods primarily used as raw materials by manufactures. We source goods for our customers from suppliers of such goods and we earn revenue from the difference in the price that we pay to suppliers and the price for which we sell such goods to our customers. In the conduct of such business we independently determine and negotiate prices with our suppliers and customers and we are the primary obligor in our purchase and sales transactions. We enter into sales contracts with our customers and are ultimately responsible for providing the products ordered by our customers in accordance with such sales contracts. Our suppliers are not involved in any of our sales contracts and do not have any obligation to our customers. We bear the risk of physical loss for products ordered by our customers, as well as all the credit risk for the amounts billed to them. We enter into separate agreements with suppliers and negotiate with them on price as well as other contract terms, including on the return of unsatisfactory goods within a certain period, however, we have no general arrangement with them to return unsold goods. Although our customers have specific requirements on the quality of goods ordered, they are not involved in the selection of our suppliers. Once our customer places an order and we place an order with our supplier based on our customer requirements, we generally take title of the goods prior to shipment and we are obligated to pay for such goods, regardless of whether our customer returns unsatisfactory goods to us within such period. In some circumstances we are also required to make advance deposits with suppliers, and where products are in high demand, we sometimes place orders and pay in advance for such products, regardless of whether we have received customer orders for such items or whether payment has been collected in full from a customer. Although we are obligated to pay for goods purchased from our suppliers, we sometimes orally offer credit terms to our customers, usually one to three months, based on negotiations with our customers. We accept payment from our customers and then pay the respective suppliers and arrange for delivery directly to such customer. As a result, the copper and other raw materials that we sell do not need to be stored by us and in fiscal years 2010 and 2011, we did not incur any warehousing expense for such goods. Our procedures for the wholesale of copper and other raw materials is the same as our procedures for selling lamps, clothing and other items, except that in our wholesale of clothing (conducted through our discontinued online sales business), we sometimes stored the goods in our storage facility prior to resale.

Prior to November 2011, we also engaged in online sales of general consumer products manufactured by third-parties, including small home appliances (such as kitchenware and soybean blenders), toys, clothing, footwear, luggage and accessories, however, we discontinued this business in November 2011 in order to comply with PRC government prohibitions of engagement in such activity by foreign invested companies. Our suppliers of small home appliances and other finished products were generally small manufacturers or assemblers of finished goods for sale to wholesalers and retailers. We entered into installment purchase agreements with such suppliers of finished products and took delivery and stored a portion of such products in a leased 600-square-meter storage facility located in Hangzhou, China, to store small home appliances. Once we identified a buyer for the products, we accepted payment from the buyer and either delivered the products from our storage facility or arranged for delivery directly to the buyer. During fiscal year 2010 and 2011 we did not incur any expense for the storage of these finished products. Now that our online business has been discontinued, we do not expect to continue using this storage facility.

Our contracts for the sale of goods have increased from sixteen in 2010 to seventy-five in 2011, including to customers such as Shanghai Senhong Metal Co., Ltd., Shanghai Tongli Metal Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Rongkun Trade Co., Ltd, who accounted for approximately 35%, 20% and 15%, respectively, or a combined 70% of our revenues from the wholesale of goods, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. During the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, 97.7% and 97.3% of our revenues were derived from our wholesale of goods, and revenue from our online sales accounted for nil and 0.1% of revenues during the respective periods.

Our revenues increased from $56 million in fiscal year 2010 to $199 million in fiscal year 2011, representing a compounded growth rate of approximately 255%, and our net income decreased to $0.08 million in fiscal year 2011, as compared to a net income of $9 million in fiscal year 2010. The decrease was mainly due to our incurrence of $10 million in interest expense during the 2011 fiscal year, as compared to $0.5 million in fiscal year 2010. The increase in our interest expense is a result of our use of more credit facilities to fulfill our exclusive sales agency agreement with Zibo Mintai Property Development Co., Ltd (as disclosed in Note 9 of Item 8), to acquire Zibo Longyun Industrial and Trade Co., Ltd (as disclosed in Note 6 of Item 8), to purchase commercial properties in Jiashan and to expand our trade business.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors.

Growth in the Chinese Economy

We operate in China and derive all of our revenues from sales to customers in China. Economic conditions in China, therefore, affect virtually all aspects of our operations. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (http://www.stats.gov.cn/tjgb/), China has experienced significant economic growth, achieving a compound annual growth rate of more than 8% in gross domestic product from 1996 through 2010. China is expected to experience continued growth in many areas of investment and consumption according to the previous trend. However, if the global economic recession was to become more protracted, China’s growth might be somewhat more modest, since China has not been entirely immune to the global economic slowdown, such as the 2008 global financial turmoil, and has experienced a slowing in its growth rate in 2008 and beyond.

Rental Occupancy and Rates

The key components affecting our rental and other revenues are average occupancy, rental rates, acquisitions and dispositions. Average occupancy generally increases during times of improving economic growth, as our ability to lease space outpaces vacancies that occur upon the expirations of existing leases. Average occupancy generally declines during times of slower economic growth, when new vacancies tend to outpace our ability to lease space. Asset acquisitions and dispositions directly impact our rental revenues and could impact our average occupancy, depending upon the occupancy rate of the properties that are acquired or sold. A further indicator of the predictability of future revenues is the expected lease expirations of our portfolio. As a result, in addition to seeking to increase our average occupancy by leasing current vacant space, we also must concentrate our leasing efforts on renewing leases on expiring space. Our average occupancy is slightly higher in 2011 as compared to 2010.

Whether or not our rental revenue tracks average occupancy proportionally depends upon whether rents under new leases signed are higher or lower than the rents under the previous leases. The average rental rate per square meter on second generation renewal and re-let leases signed in our wholly owned properties compared to the rent under the previous leases (based on straight line rental rates) was slightly higher in 2011 as compared to 2010.

Taxation

We are subject to United States tax at a tax rate of 34%. No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as we have no income taxable in the United States.

Our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to Profits Tax of 16.5% . However, no provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made as our Hong Kong subsidiaries have no taxable income.

Under the EIT Law, our PRC subsidiaries are subject to an earned income tax of 25.0% . See “Description of Business—PRC Government Regulations—Taxation” for a detailed description of the EIT Law and tax regulations applicable to our PRC subsidiaries.

Business Segments

Our operations are mainly classified into two principal reportable segments that provide different products or services: our commercial real estate operations and our wholesale of goods. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different marketing, production, and technology strategies.

The commercial real estate segment is comprised of our original core operations: the leasing of commercial properties. As at December 31, 2011, we invested or leased seven commercial properties in Southeastern China, encompassing approximately 152,244 square meters, which includes three properties comprising 93,010 square meters, or approximately 61% of the properties, directly owned by us. Many of the properties are positioned as department stores with large commercial tenants, including but not limited to Trust-Mart, Bank of China, and Boshiwa International Holding Limited. We rely on the knowledge of our board of directors and management when making investment decisions. We intend to put additional investment policies in place as we expand our commercial real estate business in the coming years. The nine subsidiaries that make up this segment are similar in the market they serve. This segment is structured with branch management reporting through a regional management level to our chief operating officer, Mr. Xiaolei Xing.

In 2009, we expanded our business to include the wholesale of goods, such as copper, steel, energy saving lamps, clothing and zinc slabs, to wholesale and retail customers in China. We have a network of buyers and suppliers with whom we have a good relationship, and we gain new customers or suppliers primarily through referrals. Our suppliers of copper and other raw materials are companies that provide large quantities of wholesale goods primarily used as raw materials by manufactures. We source goods for our customers from suppliers of such goods and we earn revenue from the difference in the price that we pay to suppliers and the price for which we sell such goods to our customers. In the conduct of such business we independently determine and negotiate prices with our suppliers and customers and we are the primary obligor in our purchase and sales transactions. We enter into sales contracts with our customers and are ultimately responsible for providing the products ordered by our customers in accordance with such sales contracts. Our suppliers are not involved in any of our sales contracts and do not have any obligation to our customers. We bear the risk of physical loss for products ordered by our customers, as well as all the credit risk for the amounts billed to them. We enter into separate agreements with suppliers and negotiate with them on price as well as other contract terms, including on the return of unsatisfactory goods within a certain period, however, we have no general arrangement with them to return unsold goods. Although our customers have specific requirements on the quality of goods ordered, they are not involved in the selection of our suppliers. Once our customer places an order and we place an order with our supplier based on our customer requirements, we generally take title of the goods prior to shipment and we are obligated to pay for such goods, regardless of whether our customer returns unsatisfactory goods to us within such period. In some circumstances we are also required to make advance deposits with suppliers, and where products are in high demand, we sometimes place orders and pay in advance for such products, regardless of whether we have received customer orders for such items or whether payment has been collected in full from a customer. Although we are obligated to pay for goods purchased from our suppliers, we sometimes orally offer credit terms to our customers, usually one to three months, based on negotiations with our customers. We accept payment from our customers and then pay the respective suppliers and arrange for delivery directly to such customer. As a result, the copper and other raw materials that we sell do not need to be stored by us and in fiscal years 2010 and 2011, we did not incur any warehousing expense for such goods. Our procedures for the wholesale of copper and other raw materials is the same as our procedures for selling lamps, clothing and other items, except that in our wholesale of clothing (conducted through our discontinued online sales business), we sometimes stored the goods in our storage facility prior to resale.

Prior to November 2011, we also engaged in online sales of general consumer products manufactured by third-parties, including small home appliances (such as kitchenware and soybean blenders), toys, clothing, footwear, luggage and accessories, however, we discontinued this business in November 2011 in order to comply with PRC government prohibitions of engagement in such activity by foreign invested companies. Our suppliers of small home appliances and other finished products were generally small manufacturers or assemblers of finished goods for sale to wholesalers and retailers. We entered into installment purchase agreements with such suppliers of finished products and took delivery and stored a portion of such products in a leased 600-square-meter storage facility located in Hangzhou, China, to store small home appliances. Once we identified a buyer for the products, we accepted payment from the buyer and either delivered the products from our storage facility or arranged for delivery directly to the buyer. Now that our online business has been discontinued, we do not expect to continue using this storage facility. For our wholesale segment, a general manager is responsible for sales and operation and reports to Mr. Xing.

Accounting policies of the segments are described below in "Critical Accounting Policies—Revenue Recognition." Performance is measured by various factors such as segment revenue and segment profit. All corporate expenses and income tax expenses are allocated to the segments.

Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010

Total 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. For the year ended December 31, 2011, approximately 2.3% and 97.7% of our revenues were derived from our real estate operation segment and wholesale segment, respectively, as compared to 2.8% and 97.2%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2010. Our total revenue increased from approximately $56 million in fiscal year 2010, to approximately $199 million in fiscal year 2011 representing a compounded growth rate of approximately 255%.

Revenue from our real estate operations segment increased by 199%, to $4.6 million in 2011, from $1.5 million in 2010. The increase was primarily due to increase in revenues from the increasing occupancy rate of Shanghai Jiadu; contribution from Wuxi TFS which started its business in late 2010, from Longyun which was acquired in March 2011, and from TFS Bingzhou which started its business in April 2011.

  • Investing Activities – We acquire and renovate undervalued companies with commercial property leasing businesses in Tier 2 and 3 cities in China. When such properties are fully renovated, we generate rental income through leasing them to clients such as clothing retailers and supermarket chains. In a general investment procedure, we mainly generate lease revenue and incur acquisition and renovation costs. We recorded a gain on business combination of $7.1 million in 2011, as compared to $10.7 million in 2010.

  • Property Management – None of our clients have taken advantage of our property management services to date and so we recorded nil management fees and related expenses for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

  • Property Assignment – We may assign or transfer our commercial properties to unrelated third parties if we believe that such property is underperforming or has become overvalued. When we assign such property, we generate sales revenue and our relevant property right is transferred to the purchaser. No revenue applicable to property assignment was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, because no commercial property was sold during the period.

  • Commercial Leasing – We lease commercial properties, such as department stores, and karaoke lounges, to third party customers in China. We earn revenues through the receipt of monthly lease payments from our tenants, most of which are department store tenants. We also earn revenue from occasionally providing consulting services to third party property owners who wish to sell or lease commercial properties. Revenue from commercial leasing increased by 199%, to $4.6 million in 2011, from $1.5 million in 2010. The increase was primarily due to increase in revenues from the increasing occupancy rate of Shanghai Jiadu; contribution from Wuxi TFS which started its business in late 2010, from Longyun which was acquired in March 2011, and from TFS Bingzhou which started its business in April 2011.

Revenue from our wholesale segment, increased by 257% to $194 million in 2011, from $54.4 million in 2010. Sales of copper, zinc, iron ore and lamps accounted for 99.9% of our 2011 segment revenue. Sales of copper, steel and lamps accounted for 94% of our 2010 segment revenue. The increase in the revenue was mainly due to the increase in the sales volume, which was primarily due to an increase in sales orders from Shanghai Senhong and Shanghai Tongli as we became their major supplier in 2011. In addition, we achieved orders from new customers. We expect this trend to continue during 2012 resulting from management’s continuing efforts to develop new customers and strengthen our management of suppliers to reduce purchasing costs and enhance competitiveness.

Total cost of revenue. Our cost of revenue includes expenses applicable to our real estate operation segment, cost of goods sold for our wholesale segment and other expenses relating to our online sales. Our total cost of revenue was $195.3 million, or 98.3% of total revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $54.9 million, or 98.1% of total revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2010.

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 increased by 128% to $3.4 million in 2011, from $1.5 million in 2010. The increase was primarily due to the increase in depreciation expense, rental expense and other related cost resulting from our recent business acquisition activity and the full year contribution of our subsidiaries established in late 2010.

  • Investing Activities – 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 $8,846,160 in cash, which was paid in 2011.

  • Property Management – None of our clients have taken advantage of our property management services to date and so we recorded nil expenses for the years ended December 31, 2011 and2010.

  • Property Assignment – There are no expenses related to our property assignment activities for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

  • Commercial Leasing – Expenses applicable to commercial leasing increased by 128% to $3.4 million in 2011, from $1.5 million in 2010. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of our leasing business.

Cost of goods sold for our wholesale segment includes the cost of purchase of goods and freight costs. Cost of goods sold increased by 259% to $191.9 million in 2011, from $53.4 million in 2010. Such increase was generally in line with the increase in sales from our wholesale segment.

Gross profit and gross margin. Our gross profit increased by 217% to $3.4 million in 2011, from $1.1 million in 2010, due to the expansion of our business. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue (gross margin) was 1.7% and 1.9% for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Such decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the gross profit margin of our wholesale segment from 1.8% of 2010 to 1.1% of 2011, which resulted from our strategy to expand our market share by lowering our selling price in the competition.

In our real estate operation segment we enjoyed a gross profit of $1.2 million in 2011, a 2050% increase, as compared to $0.06 million 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 profit from our wholesale segment increased by 120% to $2.2 million in 2011, from $1 million in 2010, due to the combined effect of the increase in the sales volume and decrease in the gross profit margin of this segment.

- 51 -


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. Selling expenses increased by 455% to $1.3 million in 2011, from $0.2 million in 2010, primarily 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. General and administrative expenses increased by 147% to $5.2 million in 2011, from $2.1 million in 2010. The increase was primarily due to an 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.

Loss from operations. Our loss from operations was $3.1 million in 2011, compared to $1.3 million in 2010, an increase of $1.7 million, or 147%. Loss from operations from our real estate operation segment was $3.2 million in 2011, compared to $1.5 million in 2010, an increase of 113%. Income from operations from our wholesale segment was $0.2 million in 2011, compared to $0.2 million in 2010.

Interest income. Interest income increased by $4.6 million to $4.6 million in 2011, from $2,618 in 2010. We have been engaged in providing exclusive agency services to assist a property development company to sell its properties, with the condition that we prepay approximately $33 million as a deposit towards the proceeds of such sales. This quarter, we entered into a supplementary agreement with this company whereby they agreed to pay interest on the deposit, at a rate of 15% per annum for the cost of capital, commencing from February 1, 2011 to January 31, 2012. In 2011, we received approximately $5 million in cash from this company. We recognized approximately $4.4 million in interest income based on an accrual basis and about $0.2 million in business tax, the rest of the amount was recorded as advance from customers.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased by 1767% to $10.3 million in 2011, from $550,013 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 2011 resulted from the acquisition of Longyun during the first quarter in 2011

Income tax benefit. We recognized income tax benefits of $1.6 million and $0.5 million in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, due to the combined effect of recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Net income (loss) from continuing operations. As a result of the foregoing factors, we had a net income from continuing operations of $0.02 million in 2011, as compared to a net income of $9.3 million in 2010.

Net income (loss) on discontinued operation. We executed the liquidation plan over Liyang TFS in the third quarter, hence we ceased lease business of Liyang TFS and we recorded a net income on discontinued operation of $0.07 million in 2011.

Net Income (loss) attributable to the Fifth Season’s common stockholders. In 2011, we generated a net income attributable to the Fifth Season’s common stockholders of $0.1 million, a decrease of $8.9 million from a net income attributable to the Fifth Season’s common stockholders of $9 million in 2010, as a result of the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.3 million and we had a working capital deficit of approximately $32 million. We used approximately $66 million in cash for our operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2011. We believe that these factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Based on future projections of the our profits and cash inflows from operations, including commercial property leasing and providing agent service to properties sales, and the anticipated our ability to obtain continued financing or related parties’ loan to finance its continuing operations, we have prepared the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.

- 52 -


Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consists of operating expenses, interest on our debt, business acquisitions and capital expenditures, including tenant improvement costs. Our long-term liquidity uses generally consists of the retirement or refinancing of debt upon maturity, funding of existing and new property improvement projects and funding of purchase of commercial properties.

As of December 31, 2011, our operating lease commitment and capital commitment, which will be paid during 2012, were $1.2 million and $ 10.8 million, respectively. We have also budgeted approximately $10 million for our future business acquisitions. We expect that our future capital expenditures will continue to involve the acquisition of more properties and upgrade of our existing properties to enhance our competiveness in the rental market and that such expenditure will expand our business and bring us extra cash flow within the next year. Based on the fore mentioned matters, we have budgeted approximately $22 million to sustain our operations for the next twelve-month period.

Currently, available working capital and borrowings from different financing sources are our principal source of funds to meet our short-term liquidity requirements. Other sources of funds for short-term liquidity needs include our operating activities, which we expect to be our principal source of funds in the future.

We expect to meet our liquidity needs through a combination of:

  • cash flow from operating activities;

  • new borrowings and credit facilities to be obtained;

  • revolving of existing borrowings

  • the issuance of equity securities by the Group; and

  • the disposition of non-core assets.

We expect to obtain more cash flow from operation activities with increasing occupancy rate of our commercial properties and the expiration of lease holiday. In addition, we expect to enjoy a commission income up to RMB150 million (approximately $23 million), benefiting from our exclusive agent services provided on the Mintai Project. We expect to complete the sales within one year, and will collect the remaining prepaid deposit of RMB178 million (approximately $28 million) upon completion of sales.

We have renewed the existing entrusted loan amounting to $47.6 million. We believe that existing unmortgaged commercial properties and the properties to be acquired in the future will enhance our ability to obtain continue finance from lenders. We expect to obtain credit facilities from banks, by pledging the existing unmortgaged properties, up to $80 million in 2012, and expect no difficulties to revolve credit facilities or borrowings when necessary based on our good relationship with the lenders.

Except for the short-term loan from China Construction Bank, we are currently in compliance with the covenants and other requirements with respect to our outstanding debt. We have received an exemption for our non-compliance from China Construction Bank as discussed in more detail under “Financing Activities – Loans” below.

We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents and cash provided by operating activities, together with cash available from borrowings, will be adequate to meet presently anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months and we have prepared the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.

Except for the cash flows from operating activities and continued finance from banks and stockholders, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs through the proceeds from issuance of equity securities. We may require additional cash due to changing business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. The actual amount and timing of our future capital requirements may differ materially from our estimate depending on our actual results of operations.

Though there are restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB for capital account transactions, which principally includes investments and loans, we generally follow the regulations and apply to obtain the approval of SAFE and other relevant PRC governmental authorities. Our ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on our receiving distributions of funds from our subsidiaries, which is restricted by certain regulatory requirements. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by our PRC Operating Subsidiaries only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our PRC subsidiaries are also required under PRC laws and regulations to allocate at least 10% of their annual after-tax profits determined in accordance with PRC GAAP to a statutory reserve fund until the amounts in said fund reaches 50% of their registered capital. The reserve that each of our PRC subsidiaries provided is to make provision for loss or transfer to capital. As of December 31, 2011, the accumulated statutory reserve fund of these subsidiaries was $3,992. Our PRC subsidiaries will be required to allocate 10% of our future net income, after deducting accumulated deficit, to a maximum reserve of RMB228.5 million (approximately $33.5 million), representing 50% of the total registered capital of our PRC subsidiaries amounting to RMB457 million (approximately $67 million) as of December 31, 2011. Allocations to these statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to us in the form of loans, advances, or cash dividends, which affects the nature of retained earnings: the part of retained earnings allocated to statutory reserve funds is treated as appropriated retained earnings, and the remaining part is unappropriated retained earnings. Our statutory reserve does not limit our ability to use cash from operations to fund our business, but affects the nature of retained earnings only. Allocations to statutory reserve are not transferrable as cash dividends.

- 53 -


As investment holding companies, our off-shore subsidiaries, including Fifth Season HK and Business Real Estates, do not have material cash obligations to third parties. Therefore, the restriction does not impact the liquidity of the companies.

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 are currently in compliance with the covenants and other requirements with respect to our outstanding debt. There is no specific terms relating to financial ratios in our loan contracts signed up to December 31, 2011.

We believe that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations will meet part of our present cash needs but we will require additional cash resources, including loans, to meet our expected capital expenditure and working capital for the next 12 months, which we expect to amount to approximately $22 million. 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.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Cash Flow

    Year Ended December 31,  
    2011     2010  

Net cash used in operating activities

$  (66,479,048 ) $  (7,090,093 )

Net cash used in investing activities

  (24,739,638 )   (14,798,202 )

Net cash provided by financing activities

  91,298,205     21,873,511

Cash and cash equivalents at end of the year

$ 308,661   $ 227,664  

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $66 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, which was primarily due to the net payment of deposit of $26 million for our exclusive agent services on the Mintai Project in 2011 and the net effect of $33 million from the increase of receivables, advance and prepayments balances, partly offset by the increase of accounts payable balance resulting from our expanding trade business in 2011.

- 54 -


Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $24.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $14.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to higher property purchasing activity, partly offset by higher loan repayment received from related parties and higher business acquisitions in 2011. The progress payment for acquisition of properties in Shanghai and Jiashan was approximately $19.4 million in 2011 and approximately $11.6 million in 2010 respectively, which resulted in the increase in net cash used by approximately $7.8 million. In 2011, for the acquisition of Zibo Longyun Industrial and Trade Co., Ltd, we paid the cash consideration of approximately $7.4 million. In 2010, our acquisition expenditure was approximately $1.5 million. This resulted in the increase of cash used by $5.9 million. Loans to related parties of approximately $1.6 million lent in 2010 were repaid in 2011.

The related parties and the Company are under the common control of Mr. Lianmo Wu, who manages the working capital of the Company and the related parties as a whole in certain circumstances, and the Company would obtain short-term financing with no interest from these related parties when necessary. For more information regarding these transactions and our new Interested Transactions Policy and Procedures, see our disclosure under “Transactions with Related Persons” below. In view of our current liquidity position, we will limit our issuance of loans to related companies in the future.

We plan to invest in office buildings, shopping centers, and hotel properties in Shanghai and in Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces located in eastern China, however, we do not have a policy governing the amount or percentage of assets which will be invested in any specific property, or to acquire assets primarily for possible capital gain or income.

Financing Activities

Our consolidated current liabilities exceeded our consolidated current assets by approximately $32 million as of December 31, 2011, compared to $5.3 million as of December 31, 2010. Commitments for tenant improvement projects and the purchase of commercial properties totaled $10.8 million as of December 31, 2011. Based on our anticipated ability, we will obtain continued entrust financing and stockholder’s loan to finance our continuing operations. Net cash provided by financing activities was $91 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $21.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Such increase was primarily due to additional borrowings and notes payables, partly offset by restricted cash pledged and repayment of matured loans and notes payable in 2011.

To finance our operation, we received additional paid-in capital from shareholders by $3.7 million in 2011 and $13.2 million in 2010 respectively. In addition, we obtained proceeds from short-term and long-term loans approximately $80.8 million in 2011 and approximately $11.8 million in 2010 respectively, with all on due loans of approximately $31.1 million and $14.6 million were fully repaid in 2011 and 2010 respectively. Accordingly, the restricted cash mortgaged of approximately $16 million for short-term loans borrowed in 2009 were unrestricted upon the repayment of corresponding loans in 2010, while additional restricted cash pledged of approximately $24.4 million in 2011. We receive non-interest bearing short-term loans from third parties of approximately $8.2 million and loans from related parties of approximately $7.5 million in 2011.

Loans

Our real estate financing comes from our operating income and from loans. As at December 31, 2011, we had the following loans outstanding:

Our current ratio and quick ratio were lower than 1 as of December 31, 2011, and the Company is not in compliance with the covenant. The Company plans to satisfy the loan obligation on its maturity date which is April 18, 2012. Longyun mortgages its properties to secure the repayment of the loan. As of December 31, 2011, the outstanding short-term loan from China Construction Bank was secured by commercial properties valued at $9,218,968.

  • On January 28, 2011, Shandong TFS entered into an entrustment loan agreement with CITIC Bank (as trustee on behalf of Shendong Shenli Steel Pipe Co., Ltd.), an unrelated third party, for a loan in the principal amount of $45,510,000. The loan is unsecured and is repayable in 12 months at an annual interest rate of 258% of the base rate published by the People’s Bank of China, payable each month by Shandong TFS. An Entrusted Loan is a form of agency service provided by banks in China. In this case, CITIC Bank acts as the trustee to lend out money on behalf of Shendong Shenli Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. (the “Trustor”). The Trustor provides instruction which specifies target borrowers, use of funds, loan term, interest rate, project organizer and beneficiary. CITIC Bank will not assume liability for the repayment of the loan on behalf of the borrower if the loan is not repaid upon maturity of the loan. Shandong TFS must submit a written request to CITIC Bank and the Trustor 30 days in advance to obtain their consent to prepay the loan, and the repayment schedule will become mandatory unless the due date is extended by CITIC Bank and the Trustor upon 15 days’ written notice from Shandong TFS. During the term of the loan, Shandong TFS is required to notify the Trustor and CITIC Bank of, and seek advance written consent for, any major changes to its operational policies, including without limitation equity transfers, restructuring, mergers, divisions, joint ventures, cooperation, joint operation, leases, or amendment to the its business scope or registered capital. In addition, Shngdong TFS needs to obtain consent from the Trustor in writing for transferring its debt liability, leasing its major assets or using its major assets to provide security for other debt obligations.

However, our management will closely monitor the price change in our industry and continually maintain effective cost control in operations.

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.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2011, and 2010. However, certain of our significant accounting policies contain an increased level of assumptions 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.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We periodically review the carrying value of each property to determine if circumstances that indicate impairment in the carrying value of the investment exist or that depreciation periods should be modified. An impairment loss is recognized when sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. The assessment is based on the carrying amount of the long-lived asset at the date it is tested for recoverability, whether in use or under development. If impairment is indicated, the carrying value of the property would be written down to its estimated fair value based on our best estimate of the property’s undiscounted future cash flows using assumptions or market participants. Any material changes to the estimates and assumptions used in this analysis could have a significant impact on our results of operations, as the changes would impact our determination of whether impairment is deemed to have occurred and the amount of impairment loss we would recognize.

Using the methodology discussed above and in light of the current economic conditions discussed above in “Growth in the Chinese Economy,” we performed an impairment analysis of our entire portfolio at December 31, 2010. We concluded that the fair values of the long-lived assets exceeded their carrying amounts and therefore, none of our properties are currently impaired. We will continue to monitor our portfolio for any indicators that may change our conclusion.

- 58 -


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.

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.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to 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, Mr. Glen R. Shear, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011. Based on our assessment, Mr. Lu and Mr. Shear determined that, as of December 31, 2011, and as of the date that the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was completed, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the reasons set forth below.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and includes those policies and procedures that:

  (1)

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

     
  (2)

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and

     
  (3)

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, as of December 31, 2011.

During their review of our internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, our management determined that there was a material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting because we lack an audit committee and an internal audit department.

- 60 -


Management is currently seeking for and plans to establish an audit committee and appoint qualified personnel as soon as possible to remediate this material weakness. In the interim, on December 21, 2011, our Board of Directors appointed Mr. Glen Shear to serve as the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. Mr. Shear has over 10 years’ experience in the financial services industry, 5 of which was spent as Chief Financial Officer of a U.S. public company, and has the requisite understanding of and expertise in U.S. GAAP.

Our management does not believe that this material weakness had a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations or caused our financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, such as to contain a material misstatement.

Because the Company is a smaller reporting company, this annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Except with respect to our appointment of Mr. Shear as our new Chief Financial Officer, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal year 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.

None.

Ms. Chushing Cheung, a Hong Kong permanent resident, is a major shareholder of our Company but she does not personally hold any position as an officer, director or employee of the Company, nor was she a promoter of the Company. Because Ms. Cheung is married to Mr. Lianmo Wu, our director, Mr. Wu was deemed to have beneficial ownership of and control over the shares held by her in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act. However, Ms. Cheung should not be deemed to be someone who “manages the working capital of the Company” as Ms. Cheung had no say in whether the Company had sufficient cash flow in order to meet its short-term debt obligations and operating expenses.

Should the Company be required to pay any portion of the total amount of the loans it would attempt to recover some or the entire amount from Yinli.

  • Mr. Lianmo Wu, our chairman, holds a 60% equity interest in Zhejiang the Fifth Season Industrial Co., Ltd., formerly, Hangzhou Huaren Costume Co., Ltd.

Interested Transactions Policy and Procedures

In January 2012, our Board of Directors adopted the Fifth Season International, Inc. Interested Transactions Policy and Procedures (the “Policy”). Under the Policy, all Interested Transactions are subject to approval or ratification in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Policy and summarized below. The Policy defines an “Interested Transaction” as any transaction, arrangement or relationship or series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $100,000 in any calendar year, (2) the Company is a participant, and (3) any Related Party has or will have a direct or indirect interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10 percent beneficial owner of another entity). A “Related Party” is defined as any (a) person who is or was (since the beginning of the last fiscal year for which the Company has filed a Form 10-K, proxy statement or other disclosure including the information required by Form 10, even if they do not presently serve in that role) an executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5 percent beneficial owner of the Company’s common stock, or (c) immediate family member of any of the foregoing.

Under the Policy, the Board of Directors, or a committee established by the Board of Directors, must review the material facts of all Interested Transactions that require approval or ratification under the Policy and either approve or disapprove entry into the Interested Transaction, subject to the exceptions described below. If advance Board approval of an Interested Transaction is not feasible, then the Interested Transaction shall be considered and, if the Board determines it to be appropriate, ratified at the Board’s next regularly scheduled meeting.

In determining whether to approve or ratify an Interested Transaction, the Board will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the Interested Transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the Related Party’s interest in the transaction. Under the Policy, no director may participate in any discussion or approval of an Interested Transaction for which he or she is a Related Party, except that such director may provide all material information concerning the Interested Transaction to the Board.

If an Interested Transaction will be ongoing, the Board may establish guidelines for our management to follow in its ongoing dealings with the Related Party. Thereafter, the Board, on at least an annual basis, must review and assess ongoing relationships with the Related Party to see that they are in compliance with the Board’s guidelines and that the Interested Transaction remains appropriate.

Standing Pre-Approval for Certain Interested Transactions

The Board has reviewed the types of Interested Transactions described below and determined that each of the following Interested Transactions shall be deemed to be pre-approved by the Board, even if the aggregate amount involved will exceed $100,000.

a. Employment of Executive Officers. Any employment by the Company of an executive officer if (a) the related compensation is required to be reported in our proxy statement under Item 402 of the SEC’s compensation disclosure requirements; or (b) the executive officer is not an immediate family member of another executive officer or director of the Company, the related compensation would be reported in our proxy statement under Item 402 of the SEC’s compensation disclosure requirements if the executive officer was a “named executive officer,” and the Board or a compensation committee established by the Board approved (or recommended that the Board approve) such compensation.

- 67 -


b. Director Compensation. Any compensation paid to a director if the compensation is required to be reported in our proxy statement under Item 402 of the SEC’s compensation disclosure requirements;

c. Certain Transactions with other Companies. Any transaction with another company at which a Related Party’s only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer), director or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company’s shares, if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the greater of $1,000,000, or 2 percent of that company’s total annual revenues;

d. Certain Company Charitable Contributions. Any charitable contribution, grant or endowment by the Company to a charitable organization, foundation or university at which a Related Party’s only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer) or a director, if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the lesser of $1,000,000, or 2 percent of the charitable organization’s total annual receipts;

e. Transactions Where All Shareholders Receive Proportional Benefits. Any transaction where the Related Party’s interest arises solely from the ownership of our common stock and all holders of our common stock received the same benefit on a pro rata basis (e.g. dividends).

f. Transactions Involving Competitive Bids. Any transaction involving a Related Party where the rates or charges involved are determined by competitive bids.

g. Regulated Transactions. Any transaction with a Related Party involving the rendering of services as a common or contract carrier, or public utility, at rates or charges fixed in conformity with law or governmental authority.

h. Certain Banking-Related Services. Any transaction with a Related Party involving services as a bank depositary of funds, transfer agent, registrar, trustee under a trust indenture, or similar services.

In addition to the foregoing Interested Transactions, the board of directors has delegated to the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer the authority to pre-approve or ratify (as applicable) any Interested Transaction with a Related Party in which the aggregate amount involved is expected to be less than $250,000. In connection with each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board, a summary of each new Interested Transaction pre-approved by the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer must be provided to the Board for its review.

Conflicts of Interest

Under our new Interested Transactions Policy and Procedures, our Board of Directors review transactions in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates may have a pecuniary interest.

Wholesale Business

We are currently not subject to conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with TFS Trade, our subsidiary that engages in the wholesale of goods, as it is our only subsidiary that is engaged in the purchase and sale of commodities. Except for three of our affiliates, Shandong Trade, Shandong Demian, Hangzhou Hengji, Yinli, Huaren and Hangzhou Hengding, who purchased and sold goods and services from and to TFS Trade during fiscal year 2010 and 2011, none of our suppliers and customers are otherwise related to TFS Trade or any of our affiliates. The price of wholesale goods from suppliers is primarily pre-determined or negotiated by the supplier and TFS Trade, while the price of such goods to buyers is determined through negotiation with them and includes a small profit margin. In the process of connecting a supplier and a buyer, we generate a small profit margin but do not incur any shipping expense, which is instead covered by the buyer.

The Board has considered our ongoing Interested Transactions with each of Shandong Trade, Shandong Demian, Hangzhou Hengji, Yinli and Huaren and has determined that they are appropriate. We purchase lighting products from Yinli, as well as engage them for property renovation projects at the same or better rates as we would have from an unrelated third party and we sell our products to Shandong Trade, Shandong Demian and Huaren at the same or similar rates as we would to a third party customer.

- 68 -


Commercial Property Business

We are subject to conflicts of interest arising out of our relationships with our subsidiaries that engage in the commercial property investment or lease business. Generally, we set up a subsidiary according to where the commercial property project is located. When the board confirms a commercial property project, we set up a new subsidiary in order to sign contracts locally with the seller or lessor and to better operate the business locally. This practice results in the establishment of many subsidiaries engaging in the same business, namely the investment or lease of commercial properties, however, no real conflicts of interest exist for most of these subsidiaries due to the differences in geographic location of such subsidiaries.

In evaluating potential investment, certain retail properties may be appropriate for acquisition by either us or one of our subsidiaries. When determining the allocation of ownership of such property among us and our subsidiaries, our Board of Directors evaluates each commercial property by considering the investment amount, available capital, geographic location and tenant concentration. In addition, when an Interested Transaction occurs between two subsidiaries, for example where one subsidiary purchases or leases property from or managed by another subsidiary, our Board of Directors determine the lease rate for such transaction based on comparable market rates in adjacent streets or nearby areas. Other costs associated with leasing, such as utility bills, are either determined based on a standardized rate governed by the local authority or market rate. When we are interested in commercial real estate owned or managed by an affiliate, our Board of Directors will hire an independent real estate appraiser to appraise such real estate to establish the fair market value for such property to assist in the determination of a purchase price.

Investment Policies

Our investment policies are determined by our Board of Directors and may be amended or revised from time to time by them without a vote of our stockholders. Any change to these policies by our Board of Directors, however, would be made only after a review and analysis of the then-existing business and other circumstances of the Company, and then only if our directors believe, in the exercise of their business judgment, that it is advisable to do so and in our and our stockholders’ best interests.

Investments in Commercial Property

We do not currently hold any of our commercial properties solely for possible capital gain. Rather, our primary investment objective is to acquire assets primarily for generation of income from leasing, as well as for long-term value appreciation. As such, we focus on the acquisition and ownership of good-quality and multi-use commercial properties with high-credit-quality tenants. In determining the appropriateness of an investment in commercial property, we consider the location of a property, standard of living in that area, its income-producing capacity, prospects for long-term appreciation, and liquidity and tax considerations. Additionally, we monitor annual lease expirations and tenant performance in an attempt to minimize the effect of vacancies or defaults.

We currently do not have any limit on the amount or percentage of our assets that may be invested in any one property or any one geographic area, but our Board of Directors may institute such limits in the future. We may expand and improve our commercial properties, or we may assign or transfer them in whole or in part to unrelated third parties, if and when our board of directors determines that such properties no longer fit our strategic objectives, in that such properties are no longer a viable source of rental income or have become overvalued. Factors that our Board may consider when deciding whether to dispose of a property are, among other things, the price being offered for the property, the operating performance of the property and the tax consequences of the sale.

We may also own property jointly with third parties, either through joint ventures or other types of co-ownership. We believe that such investments will permit us to own interests in larger assets while simultaneously mitigating our risk through diversification. We will not, however, enter into a joint venture or other partnership arrangement to make an investment that would otherwise not meet our investment policies.

- 69 -


Purchase and Sale of Investments

Our policy is to acquire assets primarily for generation of current income and long-term value appreciation. However, we will sell certain properties if and when our board of directors determines that such properties no longer fit our strategic objectives. Factors that our Board may consider when deciding whether to dispose of a property are, among other things, the price being offered for the property, the operating performance of the property and the tax consequences of the sale.

Mortgaged Properties

Some of our commercial properties are encumbered by mortgages disclosed under the “Properties – Commercial Properties” heading in the Amendment. If we cannot repay these loans, these mortgaged commercial properties may be sold by the banks with the proceeds used to cover such loans. If this happens, we will lose the income generated from these properties.

Promoters and Certain Control Persons

We did not have any promoters at any time during the past five fiscal years.

Director Independence

We currently do not have any independent director.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Fifth Season International, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Fifth Season International, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company, as of December 31, 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a significant working capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As more fully described in Note 12, as of December 31, 2011, the Company is not in compliance with its loan covenant in connection with its loan with China Construction Bank.

GOING CONCERN

   

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group will continue to operate throughout the next twelve months as a going concern. The Group’s consolidated current liabilities exceeded its consolidated current assets by approximately $32 million as of December 31, 2011. In addition the Group has commitments for the tenant improvement projects and the purchase of commercial properties totaled to $10.8 million as of December 31, 2011 Management believes that these factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Based on future projections of the Group’s profits and cash inflows from operations, including commercial property leasing and providing agent service to properties sales, additional fund was obtain by the Group as discussed in footnote 22, and the anticipated ability of the Group to obtain continued financing or related parties’ loan to finance its continuing operations, the Group’s management has prepared the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


(a)

Basis of presentation

   

As a result of the share exchange on March 31, 2011, Fifth Season HK became a subsidiary of Fifth Season International. 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 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 financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

   
(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 a 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 eliminated from the ongoing operations as a result of the disposal transaction and that the Group 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, allowance for doubtful accounts, 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, and short-term bank loans.

   
(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. Allowance of $3,653,036 and nil was provided for accounts receivables as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. No write-offs were provided for account receivable, accrued straight-line rents receivable or due from third parties/related parties as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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 December 31, 2011 and 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 5-10   Nil
  Office equipment and furniture 3-5   5%
  Motor vehicles 4-5   5%

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 prior tenant improvements at date of acquisition, 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 December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

   
(l)

Impairment of long-lived assets

   

A long-lived asset (asset group) classified as held for sale is measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. A long-lived asset is not depreciated (amortized) while it is classified as held for sale. A gain or loss not previously recognized that results from the sale of a long-lived asset (asset group) are recognized at the date of sale.

   

A long-lived asset (asset group) classified as held for use is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). These cash flows are estimated based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including among others, tenant’s payment history and financial condition, the likelihood of lease renewal, business condition in the industry in which tenants operate, changes in market rental rates, costs to operate property. The assessment is based on the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) at the date it is tested for recoverability, whether in use or under development. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) exceeds its fair value.

   
 

The Group suffered operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2011. Based on an assessment performed as of December 31, 2011, the Group concluded that the fair values of the long-lived assets exceeded their carrying amounts. Therefore, no impairment loss was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2011.

(m)

Foreign currency translation and transactions

   

The functional currencies of the Company is U.S Dollar (or “$”), 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 a foreign currency exchange loss of $13,147 for the year ended December 31, 2011, and exchange loss of $291,542 for the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively.

   

The Group’s reporting currency is the 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, and equity is translated at historical exchange rate. Translation adjustments are reported in other comprehensive income.

   
(n)

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.

   
(o)

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 offset 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 reserves 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 of the statutory reserves and other reserves is 10% of net profit after deducting accumulated deficit, if any, of the 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

   
(p)

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.

   

The installment method of recognizing revenue is used where the collectability of the sales price is not reasonably assured. The installment method apportions each cash receipt between cost recovered and profit. The apportionment is in the same ratio as total cost and total profit bear to the sales value. Certain sales are reported under the installment collection method resulting in deferred revenue (net of any allowance for bad debts) and costs until the collection of the sale.

   

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 agency or 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. Service income is recognized when the following criteria exist: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the price is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

   

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

   
(q)

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

   
(r) 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.

   

The total amounts for such employee benefits, which were expensed as incurred, were approximately $194,112 and $114,436 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

   
(s)

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. The Group recognizes 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 RMB100,000. 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 December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 respectively.

   
(t)

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.

   
(u)

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.

   
(v)

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.

Fair value measurements

   

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

   

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.

Recently issued accounting standards affecting the Group

   

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards or pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.


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 December 31, 2011 and 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.

   

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 December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

  Customer C 15%   *
  Customer D *   18%

* less than 10%

In commercial properties leasing segment, there are no revenues from any customers for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 which individually represent greater than 10% of the total revenue.

The above customers accounted for 73% and 67% of accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Group had two major suppliers that accounted for 62% of the total purchase of goods for the year ended December 31, 2011, and two major suppliers that accounted for 72% of the total purchase of goods for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The above suppliers accounted 60% and nil of accounts payable balance as of December 31, 2011 and 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 $ 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 The Fifth Season Shangdong Commercial Investment Co., Ltd (“Shandong TFS”) and two original individual stockholders of Zibo Longyun Industrial and Trade Co., Ltd (“Longyun”), the Group completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity interest of Longyun (the “Acquisition”). The total consideration was RMB58 million, approximately $8,846,160 in cash.

   

Longyun is primarily engaged in 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 expects to enhance 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.

   

For the Acquisition, the Group was obligated to pay a consideration of RMB58 million (approximately $8,846,160) in cash in exchange for 100% equity interest and assumed $3.2 million of debt of the acquired business. As of December 31, 2011, the Group has paid RMB58 million to the original stockholders of Longyun. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and Longyun was included in the Group's consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date of March 31, 2011. Management reassessed the fair value of the major assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and concluded that a bargain purchase gain amounting to approximately $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 year ended December 31, 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 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)  
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 assistance of an independent valuation specialist, the management adopted the market approach, which rests on the wide acceptance of the 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 result of valuation reflects the best estimates at the date the valuations were performed.

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.
