NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Sunrise Real Estate Group, Inc. “SRRE” was incorporated in Texas on October 10, 1996 under the name of Parallax Entertainment, Inc. SRRE together with its subsidiaries and equity investment described below is collectively referred to as “the Company”, “our” or “us”. The Company is primarily engaged in the provision of property brokerage services, which include property marketing, leasing and management services; and real estate development in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).

As of March 31, 2014, the Company has the following major subsidiaries and equity investment.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, which has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations and the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of Sunrise Real Estate as of March 31, 2014 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting and Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Sunrise Real Estate Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Investments in business entities, in which the Company does not have control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method.

Going Concern

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has a working capital deficiency, accumulated deficit from recurring net losses, and significant short-term debt obligations currently in default or maturing in less than one year. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management believes that the Company will generate sufficient cash flows to fund its operations and to meet its obligations on timely basis for the next twelve months by successful implementation of its business plans, obtaining continued support from its lenders to rollover debts when they became due, and securing additional financing as needed. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms and any financing that the Company does obtain will be sufficient to meet its needs in the long term. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our shareholders in the case of equity financing. If events or circumstances occur that the Company is unable to successfully implement its business plans, fails to obtain continued supports from its lenders or to secure additional financing, or incurs significant unplanned cash outlays, the Company may be required to suspend operations or cease business entirely.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The functional currency of SRRE, CY-SRRE and LRY is U.S. dollars (“$”) and their financial records are maintained and the financial statements prepared in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliate in China is Renminbi (“RMB”) and their financial records and statements are maintained and prepared in RMB.

Foreign currency transactions during the period are translated into each company’s denominated currency at the exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Gain and loss resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statement of operations. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into each company’s denominated currency at period-end exchange rates. All exchange differences are dealt with in the consolidated statements of operations.

The financial statements of the Company’s operations based outside of the United States have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC830. Management has determined that the functional currency for each of the Company’s foreign operations is its applicable local currency. When translating functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars, period-end exchange rates are applied to the condensed consolidated balance sheets, while average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses are applied to consolidated statements of operations. The effect of foreign currency translation adjustments is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

The exchange rates as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are $1: RMB6.1521 and $1: RMB6.0969, respectively.

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transaction must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at the rate used in translation.

Real Estate Property under Development

Real estate property under development, which consists of residential unit sites and commercial and residential unit sites under development, is stated at the lower of carrying amounts or fair value less selling costs.

Expenditures for land development, including cost of land use rights, deed tax, pre-development costs and engineering costs, are capitalized and allocated to development projects by the specific identification method. Costs are allocated to specific units within a project based on the ratio of the sales value of units to the estimated total sales value times the total project costs.

Costs of amenities transferred to buyers are allocated as common costs of the project that are allocated to specific units as a component of total construction costs. For amenities retained by the Company, costs in excess of the related fair value of the amenity are also treated as common costs. Results of operations of amenities retained by the Company are included in current operating results.

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), real estate property under development is subject to valuation adjustments when the carrying amount exceeds fair value. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of the assets is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had not recognized any impairment for real estate property under development.

Long Term Investments

The Company accounts for long term investments in equities as follows.

Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates

Affiliates are entities over which the Company has significant influence, but which it does not control. The Company generally considers an ownership interest of 20% or higher to represent significant influence. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the Company’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of affiliates is recognized in the income statement and its shares of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income are recognized in other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its affiliates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the affiliates; unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

When the Company’s share of losses in an affiliate equals or exceeds its interest in the affiliate, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless the Company has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the affiliate.

The Company is required to perform an impairment assessment of its investments whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded when there has been a loss in value of the investment that is other than temporary. The Company recorded any impairment losses in any of the periods reported.

Other Investments

Where the Company has no significant influence, the investment is classified as other assets in the balance sheet and is carried under the cost method. Investment income is recognized by the Company when the investee declares a dividend and the Company believes it is collectible. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its investment under the cost method and any decline in value is included in impairment of cost of the investment.

Government Subsidies

Government subsidies include cash subsidies received by the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC from local governments.

In recognizing the benefit of government subsidies in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company considers intended use of and restrictions of the subsidy, the requirements for the receipt of funds, and whether or not the incentive is given for immediate financial support, or to encourage activities such as land development in specified area. Each grant is evaluated to determine the propriety of classification on the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets. Those grants that are substantively reimbursements of specified costs are matched with those costs and recorded as a reduction in costs. Those benefits that are more general in nature or driven by business performance measures are classified as revenue.

Government subsidy was received in 2012 and as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company received $5,392,535 and $5,441,360, respectively. The subsidy is given to reimburse the land acquisition costs and certain construction costs incurred for the Company’s property development project in Linyi, and are repayable if the Company fails to complete the subsidized property development project by the agreed date. The Company recorded the subsidy received as a deferred government subsidy in consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition

Agency commission revenue from property brokerage is recognized when the property developer and the buyer complete a property sales transaction, and the property developer grants confirmation to us to be able to invoice them accordingly. The time when we receive the commission is normally at the time when the property developer receives from the buyer a portion of the sales proceeds in accordance with the terms of the relevant property sales agreement, or the balance of the bank loan to the buyer has been funded, or recognized under the sales schedule or other specific items of agency sales agreement with developer. At no point does the Company handle any monetary transactions nor act as an escrow intermediary between the developer and the buyer.

Revenue from marketing consultancy services is recognized when services are provided to clients, fees associated to services are fixed or determinable, and collection of the fees is assured.

Rental revenue from property management and rental business is recognized on a straight-line basis according to the time pattern of the leasing agreements.

The Company accounts for underwriting sales in accordance with ASC 976-605 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (Formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66) (“ASC 976-605”). The commission revenue on underwriting sales is recognized when sales have been consummated, generally when title is transferred and the Company no longer has substantial continuing involvement with the real estate asset sold. If the Company provides certain rent guarantees or other forms of support where the maximum exposure to loss exceeds the gain, it defers the related commission income and expenses by applying the deposit method. In future periods, the commission income and related expenses are recognized when the remaining maximum exposure to loss is reduced below the amount of income deferred.

All revenues represent gross revenues less sales and business taxes.

Net Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share recognizes common stock equivalents, however; potential common stock in the diluted EPS computation is excluded in net loss periods, as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Topic 210 - Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU 2011-11 became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with retrospective application for all comparable periods presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-12, Topic 220 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 changes the presentation requirements of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in their entirety and their corresponding effect on net income. For other significant amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety, the standard requires the company to cross-reference to related footnote disclosures. ASU 2013-02 became effective for the company on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05 Topic 830 – Foreign Currency Matters (“ASU 2013-05”). ASU 2013-05 resolves the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall, or Subtopic 830-30, ASU 2013-05 applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this Update resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. ASU 2013-02 became effective for the company prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The FASB has issued ASU 2013-04 Topic 405 - Liabilities: Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU 2013-04”). ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this ASU is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 16- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Lease Commitments

The Company leases certain of its office properties under non-cancellable operating lease arrangements. Payments under operating leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the periods of their respective terms, and the terms of the leases do not contain rent escalation, or contingent rent, renewal, or purchase options. There are no restrictions placed upon the Company by entering into these leases. Rental expenses under operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $61,494 and $49,858, respectively.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had the following operating lease obligations.

NOTE 17– STATUTORY RESERVE

According to the relevant corporation laws in the PRC, a PRC company is required to transfer at least 10% of its profit after taxes, as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC, to the statutory reserve until the balance reaches 50% of its registered capital. The statutory reserve can be used to make good on losses or to increase the capital of the relevant company.

According to the Law of the PRC on Enterprises with Wholly-Owned Foreign Investment, the Company PRC’s subsidiaries are required to make appropriations from after-tax profits as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”) to non-distributable reserves. These reserve funds include one or more of the following: (i) a general reserve, (ii) an enterprise expansion reserve and (iii) a staff bonus and welfare fund. A wholly-owned PRC subsidiary is not required to make appropriations to the enterprise expansion reserve but annual appropriations to the general reserve are required to be made at 10% of the profit after tax as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end, until such fund has reached 50% of its respective registered capital. The staff welfare and bonus reserve is determined by the board of directors. The general reserve is used to offset future losses. The subsidiary may, upon a resolution passed by the stockholders, convert the general reserve into capital. The staff welfare and bonus reserve are used for the collective welfare of the employees of the subsidiary. The enterprise expansion reserve is for the expansion of the subsidiary operations and can be converted to capital subject to approval by the relevant authorities. These reserves represent appropriations of the retained earnings determined in accordance with Chinese law.

In addition to the general reserve, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are required to obtain approval from the local PRC government prior to distributing any registered share capital. Accordingly, both the appropriations to general reserve and the registered share capital of the Company’s PRC subsidiary are considered as restricted net assets and are not distributable as cash dividends. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s statutory reserve fund was $783,101 and $782,987, respectively.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANICAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDED IN THIS FORM 10-Q

In addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations, information currently available to us, estimates and projections about our industry, and certain assumptions made by our management. These statements are not historical facts. We use words such as "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "plans", "believes", "seeks", "estimates", and similar expressions to identify our forward-looking statements, which include, among other things, our anticipated revenue and cost of our agency and investment business.

Because we are unable to control or predict many of the factors that will determine our future performance and financial results, including future economic, competitive, and market conditions, our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They are subject to risks, uncertainties, and errors in assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those reflected in our forward-looking statements. We believe that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, the investor should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. They only reflect our view and expectations as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement in light of new information, future events, or other occurrences.

There are several risks and uncertainties, including those relating to our ability to raise money and grow our business and potential difficulties in integrating new acquisitions with our current operations, especially as they pertain to foreign markets and market conditions. These risks and uncertainties can materially affect the results predicted. The Company’s future operating results over both the short and long term will be subject to annual and quarterly fluctuations due to several factors, some of which are outside our control. These factors include but are not limited to fluctuating market demand for our services, and general economic conditions.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand Sunrise Real Estate Group, Inc. (“SRRE”). MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and the accompanying notes.

OVERVIEW

In October 2004, the former shareholders of Sunrise Real Estate Development Group, Inc. (Cayman Islands) (“CY-SRRE”) and LIN RAY YANG Enterprise Ltd. (“LRY”) acquired a majority of our voting interests in share exchange. Before the completion of the share exchange, SRRE had no continuing operations, and its historical results would not be meaningful if combined with the historical results of CY-SRRE, LRY and their subsidiaries.

As a result of the acquisition, the former owners of CY-SRRE and LRY hold a majority interest in the combined entity. Generally accepted accounting principles require in certain circumstances that a company whose shareholders retain the majority voting interest in the combined business be treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the acquisition has been accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” arrangement whereby CY-SRRE and LRY are deemed to have purchased SRRE. However, SRRE remains the legal entity and the Registrant for Securities and Exchange Commission reporting purposes. The historical financial statements prior to October 5, 2004 are those of CY-SRRE and LRY and their subsidiaries. All equity information and per share data prior to the acquisition have been restated to reflect the stock issuance as a recapitalization of CY-SRRE and LRY.

SRRE and its subsidiaries, namely, CY-SRRE, LRY, Shanghai Xin Ji Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SHXJY”), Shanghai Shang Yang Real Estate Consultation Company, Ltd. (“SHSY”), Suzhou Gao Feng Hui Property Management Company, Ltd, (“SZGFH”), Suzhou Shang Yang Real Estate Consultation Company (“SZSY”), Suzhou Xin Ji Yang Real Estate Consultation Company, Ltd. (“SZXJY”), Linyi Shang Yang Real Estate Development Company Ltd (“LYSH”), Shangqiu Shang Yang Real Estate Consultation Company, Ltd., (“SQSY”), Wuhan Gao Feng Hui Consultation Company Ltd.(WHGFH), Sanya Shang Yang Real Estate Consultation Company, Ltd. (“SYSH”), Shanghai Rui Jian Design Company, Ltd., (“SHRJ”), and Wuhan Yuan Yu Long Real Estate Development Company, Ltd. (“WHYYL”) are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Company,” “our,” or “us”.

The principal activities of the Company are real estate agency sales, real estate marketing services, real estate investments, property leasing services, property management services, and real estate development in the PRC.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Our major business was agency sales, whereby our Chinese subsidiaries contracted with property developers to market and sell their newly developed property units. For these services we earned a commission fee calculated as a percentage of the sales prices. We have focused our sales on the whole China market, especially in secondary cities. To expand our agency business, we have established subsidiaries and branches in Shanghai, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Chongqing, Quanjiao, Hainan, Shangqiu, Chengdu, Wuhan, Kunshan and Linyi.

In mid-2011, we established a project company in Wuhan in which we have a 49% ownership. . The Wuhan project was supposed to have its handover from the construction contractor, Hubei Fifth Constructions Co. (“HFCC”), on December 31, 2014, but because of a dispute between the Company and HFCC, the handover was delayed and is currently under court review.

In January 2012, we established Linyi Shang Yang Real Estate Development (“LYSY”) in which we have a 24% ownership. During the first quarter of 2012, we acquired approximately 103,385 square meters for the purpose of developing villa-style residential housing. We began construction in mid-2012 and to date have constructed 98 units which encompasses approximately one-third of the gross sales area. Proceeds from sales will be used to finance the construction of the subsequent phases of the project. We are applying for bank loans and other forms of funding, however, there are no assurances we will be able to obtain future financings.

In March 13, 2014, the Company has signed a joint development agreement with Zhongji Pufa Real Estate Co. According to this agreement, the Company has the right to develop the Guangxinglu Project, located in the Putuo district, Shanghai, PRC. This project covers a site area of approximately 2,502 square meters for the development of one apartment building.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Topic 210 - Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU 2011-11 became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with retrospective application for all comparable periods presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-12, Topic 220 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 changes the presentation requirements of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in their entirety and their corresponding effect on net income. For other significant amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety, the standard requires the company to cross-reference to related footnote disclosures. ASU 2013-02 became effective for the company on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05 Topic 830 – Foreign Currency Matters (“ASU 2013-05”). ASU 2013-05 resolves the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall, or Subtopic 830-30, ASU 2013-05 applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this Update resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. ASU 2013-02 became effective for the company prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The FASB has issued ASU 2013-04 Topic 405 - Liabilities: Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU 2013-04”). ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this ASU is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses, to disclose contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the consolidated financial statements, and to disclose the reported amounts of revenues and expenses incurred during the financial reporting period. The most significant estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, and the useful lives and impairment of property and equipment, and investment properties, the valuation of real estate property under development, the recognition of government subsidies, and the provisions for income taxes. We continue to evaluate these estimates and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We rely on these evaluations as the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. We believe critical accounting policies as disclosed in this Form 10-Q reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We believe there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates.

The following critical accounting policies rely upon assumptions and estimates and were used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Agency commission revenue from property brokerage is recognized when the property developer and the buyer complete a property sales transaction, and the property developer grants confirmation to us to be able to invoice them accordingly. The time when we receive the commission is normally at the time when the property developer receives from the buyer a portion of the sales proceeds in accordance with the terms of the relevant property sales agreement, or the balance of the bank loan to the buyer has been funded, or recognized under the sales schedule or other specific items of agency sales agreement with developer. At no point does the Company handle any monetary transactions nor act as an escrow intermediary between the developer and the buyer.

Revenue from marketing consultancy services is recognized when services are provided to clients, fees associated to services are fixed or determinable, and collection of the fees is assured.

Rental revenue from property management and rental business is recognized on a straight-line basis according to the time pattern of the leasing agreements.

The Company accounts for underwriting sales in accordance with ASC 976-605 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (Formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66) (“ASC 976-605”). The commission revenue on underwriting sales is recognized when sales have been consummated, generally when title is transferred and the Company no longer has substantial continuing involvement with the real estate asset sold. If the Company provides certain rent guarantees or other forms of support where the maximum exposure to loss exceeds the gain, it defers the related commission income and expenses by applying the deposit method. In future periods, the commission income and related expenses are recognized when the remaining maximum exposure to loss is reduced below the amount of income deferred.

All revenues represent gross revenues less sales and business taxes.

Real Estate Property under Development

Real estate property under development, which consists of residential unit sites and commercial and residential unit sites under development, is stated at the lower of carrying amounts or fair value less selling costs.

Expenditures for land development, including cost of land use rights, deed tax, pre-development costs and engineering costs, are capitalized and allocated to development projects by the specific identification method. Costs are allocated to specific units within a project based on the ratio of the sales value of units to the estimated total sales value times the total project costs.

Costs of amenities transferred to buyers are allocated as common costs of the project that are allocated to specific units as a component of total construction costs. For amenities retained by the Company, costs in excess of the related fair value of the amenity are also treated as common costs. Results of operations of amenities retained by the Company are included in current operating results.

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), real estate property under development is subject to valuation adjustments when the carrying amount exceeds fair value. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of the assets is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets.

Government Subsidies

Government subsidies include cash subsidies received by the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC from local governments.

In recognizing the benefit of government subsidies in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company considers intended use of and restrictions of the subsidy, the requirements for the receipt of funds, and whether or not the incentive is given for immediate financial support, or to encourage activities such as land development in specified area. Each grant is evaluated to determine the propriety of classification on the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets. Those grants that are substantively reimbursements of specified costs are matched with those costs and recorded as a reduction in costs. Those benefits that are more general in nature or driven by business performance measures are classified as revenue.

The government subsidy received by the Company is given to reimburse the land acquisition costs and certain construction costs incurred for its property development project in Linyi. The subsidy is repayable if the Company fails to complete the subsidized property development project by the agreed date. The Company recorded the subsidy received as a deferred government subsidy in consolidated balance sheets.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of 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.

The Company recognizes tax benefits that satisfy a greater than 50% probability threshold and provides for the estimated impact of interest and penalties for such tax benefits. The Company did not incur any interest or penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We provide the following discussion and analyses of our changes in financial condition and results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2014 with comparisons to the period ended March 31, 2013.

Revenue

The following table shows the net revenue detail by line of business:

The net revenue in the first quarter of 2014 was $2,721,154, which was increased by 29% from $2,113,429 in the first quarter of 2013. In the first quarter of 2014, agency sales represented 61% of net revenue, underwriting sales represented 0% and property management represented 39%.The increase in net revenue in the first quarter of 2014 was mainly due to the increase in our agency sales and property management

Agency sales

Agency sales represented 61% of our net revenue in the first quarter of 2014 and revenue from agency sales increased by 75% compared with same period in 2013. The increase in agency sales was due to taking in more projects.

Because of our diverse market locations, the risk of market fluctuations has been decreased on our business operations in agency sales in 2014, and we are continually seeking stable growth in our agency sales business in 2014. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.

Underwriting Sales

In February 2004, SHSY entered into an agreement to underwrite an office building in Suzhou, known as Suzhou Sovereign Building. Being the sole distribution agent for this office building, SHSY committed to a sales target of $56.53 million. Property underwriting sales are comparatively a higher risk business model compared to our pure commission based agency business. Under this higher risk business model, the Underwriting Model, our commission is not calculated as a percentage of the selling price; instead, our commission revenue is equivalent to the price difference between the final selling price and underwriting price. We negotiated with a developer for an underwriting price that is as low as possible, with the guarantee that all or a majority of the units will be sold by a specific date. In return, we are given the flexibility to establish the final selling price and earn the price difference between the final selling price and the underwriting price. The risk of this kind of arrangement is that if there is any unsold unit on the expiration date of the agreement, we may have to absorb the unsold property units from developers at the underwriting price and hold them in our inventory or as investments.

We started selling units in the Sovereign Building in January 2005. As of March 1, 2007, we had sold or acquired all of the units in the building, and we achieved the sales target by selling 47,093 square meters with a total sales price of $75.96 million.

The Company accounts for its underwriting sales revenue with underwriting rent guarantees in accordance with SFAS No. 66 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (SFAS 66). Under SFAS 66, the deposit method should be used for the revenue from the sales of floor space with underwriting rent guarantees until the revenues generated by sub-leasing properties exceed the guaranteed rental amount due to the purchasers. Based on this accounting principle, a significant portion of underwriting revenue was deferred. As of March 31, 2014, our entire underwriting obligation has been completed.

Property Management

During 2005 and 2006, SZGFH entered into leasing agreements with certain buyers of the Sovereign Building underwriting project to lease the properties for them. These leasing agreements on these properties are for 62% of the floor space that was sold to third party buyers. In accordance with the leasing agreements, the owners of the properties can have a rental return of 8.5% and 8.8% per annum for a period of 5 years and 8 years, respectively. In regards to the leasing agreements, we have negotiated with the buyers and have lowered the annual rental return rate for the remaining leasing period from 8.5% for 5 years to 5.8%, and from 8.8% for 8 years to 6%. As of March 31,2014, 55% of the buyers agreed upon the lowered rate, 3% of the buyers did not agree to a lowered rate and 42% of the buyers agreed to cancel the leasing agreements. The leasing period started in the second quarter, 2006, and the Company has the right to sublease the leased properties to cover these lease commitments in the leasing period. As of March 31, 2014, there are no lease commitments.

Cost of Revenue

The following table shows the cost of revenue detail by line of business:

The cost of revenue in the first quarter of 2014 was $1,321,918, an increase of 14% from $1,163,939 in the same period in 2013. In the first quarter of 2014, cost of agency sales represented 51% of cost of revenue, cost of underwriting sales represented 0% and cost of property management represented 49%. The increase in cost of revenue in first quarter of 2014 was mainly due to the increase in our agency sales.

Agency sales

The cost of revenue for agency sales in the first quarter, 2014 was $670,296, an increase of 24% from $538,803 in the same period in 2013. This increase was mainly due to the increase in our commissions from the increase in sales of agency sales in the first quarter of 2014.

Underwriting Sales

There is no underwriting sales business in the first quarter of 2014; also there are no costs of underwriting sales either.

Property management

The cost of revenue for property management in the first quarter of 2014 was $651,622, increased by 41% from $460,810 in the same period in 2013. This was mainly due to higher business for the property management as a whole.

Operating Expenses

The following table shows operating expenses detail by line of business:

The operating expenses in the first quarter of 2014 were $631,074, an increase of 102% from $312,942 in the same period of 2013. This was mainly due to the promotion activity of Linyi project. In the first quarter of 2014, agency sales represented 41% of operating expenses, property management represented 2% and property development represented 57% of operating expenses.

Agency sales

The operating expenses for agency sales in the first quarter of 2014 were $259,887 which decreased by 7% from $279,407 in the same period in 2013.

Property management

The operating expenses for property management in the first quarter of 2014 were $15,692 which decreased 29% from $22,026 in the same period in 2013.

Real estate development

The operating expenses for real estate development in the first quarter of 2014 were $355,495 which increased 2,994% from $11,491 in the same period in 2013. This was mainly due to the promotion activity of Linyi project.

General and Administrative Expenses

The general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2014 were $833,640, decreased by 21% from $1,051,759 in the same period in 2013. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in staff cost, office expense and so on.

Operating loss

The operating loss in the first quarter of 2014 was$65,478, decreased by 84% from $415,193 in the same period in 2013. This decrease was mainly due to the increase of revenue and decrease in general and administrative expenses.

Interest income

The interest income in the first quarter of 2014 was $100,269, decreased by 37% from $157,948 in the same period in 2013. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in borrowing to WHYYL.

Interest Expenses

Interest expenses in the first quarter of 2014 were $830,759 decreased by 9% from $915,147 in the same period in 2013. The interest expenses were mainly incurred for bank loans, promissory notes payable and amount due to directors. This decrease was mainly due to the capitalized interest expenses of Linyi project.

Major Related Party Transaction

A related party is an entity that can control or significantly influence the management or operating policies of another entity to the extent one of the entities may be prevented from pursuing its own interests. A related party may also be any party the entity deals with that can exercise that control.

Amount due to directors

The total amount due to directors for March 31, 2014 was $8,501,057. The amounts due are as follows:

Amount due to Lin Chi-Jung

The balances are unsecured, interest-free and have no fixed term of repayment.

The advances together with unpaid interest as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $8,501,057and $10,440,238, respectively. The balances are unsecured and interest bearing at rates ranging from 18% to 36% per annum.

Amount due to Lin Hsin Hung

The amount of $43,640 represents the salary payable to Lin Hsin Hung.

Amount due from related company

The amount of $2,202,783 is due from WHYYL, our Wuhan project development company and $8,402 is due from SHDEW, Shanghai Daerwei.

Amount due to affiliate

A balance of $45,513, $3,972 and $20,156 is due to SZBFND, SHXXY and SHXG, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In the first quarter of 2014, our principal sources of cash were revenues from our agency sales and property management business. Most of our cash resources were used to fund our property development investment and revenue related expenses, such as salaries and commissions paid to the sales force, daily administrative expenses and the maintenance of regional offices.

We ended the period with a cash position of $3,227,632.

The Company’s operating activities used cash in the amount of $7,988,203, which was primarily attributable to the other receivables and deposits.

The Company’s investing activities used cash resources of $42,978, which was primarily attributable to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and long-term investments.

The Company’s financing activities obtained cash resources of $7,959,599, which was primarily attributable to funds received from capital increase.

The potential cash needs for 2014 will be the repayments of our bank loans and promissory notes, the rental guarantee payments and promissory deposits for various property projects as well as our development projects in Wuhan and Linyi.

Capital Resources

We currently have four bank loans payable, including an $1,300,369 (RMB8,000,000) loan and $11,379,229 (RMB70,000,000) loan. Both of the loans were due on March 1, 2015 and May 25, 2015, and can be extended automatically for another years and both have been extended for another year to 2016. Another two loan (RMB30,500,000) and (RMB75,000,000) , both were due on March 11, 2015 and have been extended for another year to 2016.

As of March 31, 2014, promissory notes in the principal amount of $15,198,449 were in default compared to promissory notes in the principal amount of $5,076,547 that were in default as of December 31, 2013.

Taking into account of our cash position, available credit facilities and cash generated from operating activities, we believe that we have sufficient funds to operate our existing business for the next twelve months. If our business otherwise grows more rapidly than we currently predict, we plan to raise funds through the issuance of additional shares of our equity securities in one or more public or private offerings.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As discussed in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, we identified one material weakness in the design and operation of our internal controls. The material weakness is related to the Company’s accounting department personnel having limited knowledge and experience in U.S. GAAP. In response to the above identified material weakness and to continue strengthening the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, we are going to undertake the following remediation initiatives:

Since the first quarter of 2014, additional qualified accounting personnel have been hired and put into place to assist preparation of financial information, as required for interim and annual reporting, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. As the newly implemented remediation activities have not operated for a sufficient period of time to demonstrate operating effectiveness, we will continue to monitor and assess our remediation activities to ensure that the aforementioned material weakness is remediated.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s management, with the participation of its principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation and solely due to the unremediated material weakness  described above, the Company’s principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective for the purpose for which they were designed as of the end of such period. As a result of this conclusion, the financial statements for the period covered by this report were prepared with particular attention to the unremediated material weakness previously disclosed. Accordingly, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, notwithstanding the unremediated weaknesses.

Since the first quarter of 2014, we put into place additional qualified accounting personnel to address the aforementioned material weakness. This action strengthened our internal controls over financial reporting.

Except for the above, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that was identified in connection with such evaluation that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
