Mr. Pingji Lu, China Housing's Chairman, commented, "We were pleased that our financial results for the second quarter were stronger than our original forecast. This performance was fueled by increased sales at our Puhua Phase I and II projects. Our three active projects, Puhua Phase I, Puhua Phase II and JunJing III generated the majority of our revenue with GFA sales of approximately 26 thousand square meters and a total average selling price of RMB 5,705 per square meter. While overall GFA sales were high at two of our three main projects this quarter, our gross profit margin was lower than expected. This was due to a change in estimated revenue and cost of sales at our JunJing III project as well as decreased ASP at our Puhua Phase II project to enhance sales. We aim to keep our gross margin in the 25% to 28% range and believe this will be achievable in the remaining half of the year."

 

"As we look ahead to the second half of the year, we believe market conditions will continue to improve and consumers will continue to resume their buying activity. We have one main project — Puhua Phase II, that will drive sales in the second half of the year. We also have several new projects under construction that are expected to commence pre-sales in the latter half of the year. Recently, we have improved our debt position and believe we have sufficient levels of capital for our business expansion in the coming quarters ahead. We see a number of unique opportunities to drive demand for our residential and commercial properties in the Xi'an market and look forward to capitalizing on our growth to build China Housing into a larger, more profitable business."

 

Total revenue in the second quarter of 2012 increased 49.0% to $35.0 million from $23.5 million in the first quarter of 2012 and increased 72.9% from $20.3 million in the second quarter of 2011. In the second quarter of 2012, most of the Company's revenue came from its Puhua Phase I and Phase II projects. Second quarter 2012 contract sales totaled $24.8 million compared to $20.1 million in the first quarter of 2012 and $12.9 million from the second quarter of 2011. Total gross floor area ("GFA") sales were 25,908 sq. meters during the second quarter of 2012, compared to 20,366 sq. meters in the first quarter of 2012 and 12,769 sq. meters in the second quarter of 2011. The Company's ASP in the second quarter of 2012 increased to RMB 5,705 compared to RMB 6,215 in the first quarter of 2012, and RMB 6,551 in the second quarter of 2011.

 

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $8.1 million, representing an increase of 15.3% from $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2012 and a 58.6% increase from $5.1 million in the same period of 2011. The increase in gross profit was due to increased sales from the Company's three main projects. Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was 23.2%, which is below the 25.3% in the same period of 2011 and the 29.9% in the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in gross profit margin was mainly due to a change in estimated revenue and cost of sales at our JunJing III project.

 

 
 

 

SG&A expense was $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2012 and $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2011. SG&A expense as a percentage of total revenue was 11.3%, compared to 12.9% in the first quarter of 2012 and 16.4% in the second quarter of 2011. The year-over-year increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to increased selling expenses associated with increased sales revenue.

 

Operating income in the second quarter of 2012 was $3.1 million, or 8.7% of total revenue, decreased from $3.4 million, or 14.5% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2012, and increased from $0.9 million, or 4.2% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2011. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to increased revenue.

 

Net income attributable to China Housing in the second quarter of 2012 was $1.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted share. This performance compares to a net income of $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2012.
