NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Ciglarette, Inc. (the “Company”, or “Ciglarette”) was incorporated on December 23, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada.  The Company was a development stage company and has not generated significant revenue since inception. On March 10, 2011, Ciglarette changed its name to Kirin International Holding, Inc.

On March 1, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among (i) the Company, (ii) the Company’s principal stockholder, (iii) Kirin China Holding Limited, a company established under the laws of British Virgin Islands on July 6, 2010 (“Kirin China”), and (iv) the former shareholders of Kirin China, pursuant to which the former shareholders of Kirin China transferred to the Company all of their shares of Kirin China in exchange for the issuance of 18,547,297 shares of the Company’s common stock, which represented 98.4% of the Company’s total shares outstanding immediately following the closing of the transaction (such transaction, the “Share Exchange”).  As a result of the Share Exchange, Kirin China became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.

The Share Exchange has been accounted for as a recapitalization, whereby the Company is deemed to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer) and Kirin China is the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree). The financial statements before the date of the Share Exchange are those of Kirin China with the results of the Company being consolidated from the date of the Share Exchange. The equity section and earnings per share has been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition and no goodwill was recorded.

On the Closing Date, and immediately prior to the Share Exchange, the Company entered into a contribution and assumption agreement (the “Contribution and Assumption Agreement”) with Ciglarette International, Inc., a 80%-owned subsidiary, pursuant to which the Company contributed substantially all of its assets to Ciglarette International, Inc., and Ciglarette International, Inc. assumed all of the Company’s debts and other liabilities (the “Reorganization”). In addition, on the Closing Date, the Company entered into an agreement of sale (the “Agreement of Sale”) with Lisan Rahman, former principal shareholder (“Rahman”), pursuant to which the Company sold to Rahman all of the shares of Ciglarette International, Inc.’s common stock owned by the Company in exchange for the cancellation of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by Rahman (the “Spin-Out”).  Rahman also waived any and all rights and interests he has, had or may have with respect to such cancelled shares.

On December 24, 2009, January 19, 2010 and December 6, 2010, Xingtai Zhongding established wholly-owned subsidiaries Huaxia Kirin (Beijing) Property Management Co., Ltd., Huaxia Kirin (Beijing) Garden Project Co., Ltd., and Xingtai Hetai Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., respectively.

Iwamatsu Reien, a Japanese citizen, holds 100% of the shares of Prolific Lion Limited, Valiant Power Limited and Solid Wise Limited, each of which were incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (each a “BVI Company” and collectively the “BVI Companies”) and which respectively own 82%, 9% and 9% of the shares of Kirin China. On November 22, 2010, Iwamatsu Reien entered into Call Option Agreements (collectively, the “Call Option Agreements”) with each of Jianfeng Guo, Longlin Hu and Xiangju Mu (collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which Jianfeng Guo is entitled to purchase up to 100% shares of Prolific Lion Limited, Honglin Hu is entitled to purchase up to 100% shares of Valiant Power Limited and Xiangju Mu is entitled to purchase up to 100% of the shares of Solid Wise Limited, each at a price of $0.0001 per share for a period of five years upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

On December 22, 2010, Kirin Management entered into a series of contractual arrangements, including an Entrusted Management Agreement, a Shareholders’ Voting Proxy Agreement and an Exclusive Option Agreement, with each of Hebei Zhongding and Xingtai Zhongding and their respective shareholders (the “Contractual Arrangements”).  Other than the parties thereto, the terms and conditions of the Contractual Arrangements entered into with Hebei Zhongding and the terms and conditions of the Contractual Arrangements with Xingtai Zhongding are the same.

Entrusted Management Agreement Pursuant to the Entrusted Management Agreement between Kirin Management, the Operating Companies and the shareholders of the Operating Companies, the Operating Companies and their shareholders agreed to entrust the business operations of the Operating Companies and its management to Kirin Management until Kirin Management acquires all of the assets or equity of the Operating Companies. Kirin Management has the full and exclusive right to manage and control all cash flow and assets of the Operating Companies and to control and administrate the financial affairs and daily operation of the Operating Companies. In turn, Kirin Management is entitled to the Operating Companies’ earnings before tax as a management fee, and will be obligated to pay all Operating Companies’ debts to the extent the Operating Companies are not able to pay such debt.

Shareholders’ Voting Proxy Agreement Pursuant to the Shareholders’ Voting Proxy Agreement between Kirin Management and the shareholders of the Operating Companies, the Operating Companies’ shareholders irrevocably and exclusively appointed the board of directors of Kirin Management as their proxy to vote on all matters that require the approval of the Operating Companies shareholders.

Exclusive Option Agreement Under the Exclusive Option Agreement between Kirin Management, the Operating Companies and the shareholders of the Operating Companies, the Operating Companies shareholders granted to Kirin Management an irrevocable exclusive purchase option to purchase all or part of the shares or assets of the Operating Companies to the extent that such purchase does not violate any PRC law or regulations then in effect. Kirin Management and the Operating Companies shareholders shall enter into further agreements based on the circumstances of the exercise of the option, including price. The exercise price shall be refunded to Kirin Management or the Operating Companies at no consideration in a manner decided by Kirin Management, in its reasonable discretion.

These contractual arrangements assigned all of Operating Companies equity owners’ rights and obligations to Kirin Management, which is subsequently wholly-owned by Kirin Development and Kirin China, and resulted in the equity owners of the Operating Companies lacking the ability to make decisions that have a significant effect on Operating Companies’ operations, extract the profits from the operation of the Operating Companies, or assume the Operating Companies’ residual benefits.  Because Kirin China, through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Kirin Management, is the sole interest holders of the Operating Companies, it consolidates Operating Companies from its inception in accordance with the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810-10.

The Company, through its operating subsidiaries, is engaged in the development and sale of residential and commercial real estate properties, and development of land lots in Xingtai city, Hebei province, China.

Change in reporting entity and basis of presentation

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 8-K/A filed on July 25, 2011.

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.

The consolidated interim financial information as of June 30, 2011 and for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have not been included.

 In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2011, its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods
 
The reverse acquisition described in “Organization” was treated as recapitalization of the Company. As such, Kirin China is the continuing entity for financial reporting purposes. In a reverse acquisition the 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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if Kirin China had always been the reporting company and then on the reverse acquisition date, had changed its name and reorganized its capital stock.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include determination of percentage-of-completion of properties under construction and related revenue and costs recognized, allowance for doubtful accounts, and the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements.  ASC Subtopic 820-10 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC Subtopic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell 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 Company 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.

ASC Subtopic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC Subtopic 820-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

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

· 
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

· 
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company did not have any nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Reporting Currency and Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar (“US$”). The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC is Renminbi (“RMB”). The Company’s reporting currency is US$. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries in China are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet dates, stockholders’ equity is translated at the historical rates and the revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the periods. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220, Comprehensive Income.

Since July 2005, the RMB is no longer pegged to the US$. Although the People’s Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the RMB may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the US$ 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. PRC exchange control regulations may also restrict the Company’s ability to convert RMB into foreign currencies.

Revenue Recognition

Real estate sales are reported in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment, Real Estate Sales.

Revenue from the sales of completed properties where the construction period is twelve months or less is recognized by the full accrual method when (a) the amount of the profit is determinable; and (b) the earnings process is virtually complete.  Specifically, the Company recognizes profit on real estate sales by the full accrual method when all of the following criteria are met: (a) sale is consummated; (b) the buyer’s initial and continuing involvements are adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; (c) the receivable is not subject to future subordination; (d) the company has transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership in a transaction that is in substance a sale and does not have a substantial continuing involvement with the property.  A sale is not considered consummated until (a) the parties are bound by the terms of a contract or agreement, (b) all consideration has been exchanged, (c) any permanent financing of which the seller is responsible has been arranged, (d) all conditions precedent to closing have been performed. Fair value of buyer’s payments to be received in future periods pursuant to sales contract is classified under accounts receivable. Sales transactions not meeting all the conditions of the full accrual method are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting. Under the deposit method, all costs are capitalized as incurred, and payments received from the buyer are recorded as a deposit liability.

The Company adopts the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for revenue recognition for all building construction projects in progress in which the construction period was expected to be more than twelve months at that date.

Revenue and profit from the sale of development properties where the construction period is more than twelve months is recognized by the percentage-of-completion method on the sale of individual units when the following conditions are met: (a) construction is beyond a preliminary stage; (b) the buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for non-delivery of the unit; (c) sufficient units have already been sold to assure that the entire property will not revert to rental property; (d) sales prices are collectible and (e) aggregate sales proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated.  If any of these criteria are not met, proceeds are accounted for as deposits until the criteria are met and/or the sale consummated.

Under the percentage of completion method, revenues from units sold and related costs are recognized over the course of the construction period, based on the completion progress of a project. In relation to any project, revenue is determined by calculating the ratio of completion and applying that ratio to the contracted sales amounts.  The Company uses cost-to-cost method to measure the ratio of completion.  Qualified construction quality supervision firms are engaged by the Company, as required by relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, to determine pieces of construction completed by contractors can meet predetermined quality and safety standards, and are eligible to be counted towards costs. Cost of sales is recognized by multiplying the ratio by the total budgeted costs. Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Revenue recognized to date in excess of amounts received from customers is classified under revenue in excess of billings. Amounts received from customers in excess of revenue recognized to date are classified under customer deposits.  Any losses incurred or identified on real estate transaction are recognized in the period in which the transaction occurs.

Except for the down payment, the rest of contract price can be settled by several installments or financed by mortgage.  The Company requires customers to pay non-refundable cash down payment equivalent to no less than 20% of the contract price upon the execution of sale or pre-sale contracts prior to recognizing revenue under either full-accrual method or percentage-of-completion method.  The cash down payment collected from customers subordinates to no claims.  If buyer’s purchase is financed by mortgage the Company does not recognize revenue until application for mortgage loan has been filed and the Company reasonably believes the mortgage can be approved.  The Company provides guarantees for mortgage loans from financial institutions to customers.  Such guarantees expire when customers have obtained House Ownership Certificate of their purchased properties and the mortgage has been registered in favor of the financial institutions. Because guarantees of mortgage do not cover any portion of non-refundable cash down payment received by the Company from customers, the Company does not consider guarantees when determining recognizing revenues under either full-accrual method or percentage-of-completion method.

Real Estate Capitalization and Cost Allocation

Properties under development or held for sale consist of residential and commercial units under construction and units completed. Properties under development or held for sale are stated at cost or estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower. Costs include costs of land use rights, direct development costs, interest on indebtedness, construction overhead and indirect project costs. The Company acquires land use rights with lease terms ranging from 40 to 70 years through government-organized auctions, private sale transactions or capital contribution from shareholders. Land use rights are divided and transferred to customers after the Company delivers properties. The Company capitalizes payments for obtaining the land use rights allocates to specific units within a project based on units’ gross floor area. Costs of land use rights for the purpose of property development are not amortized. Other costs are allocated to units within a project based on the ratio of the sales value of units to the estimated total sales value.

Government Grant

Government grant relating to real estate projects developed by the Company are recognized as other income when the Company have complied with the conditions attached to the grant and the grant’s collection is reasonably assured.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, Xingtai Zhongding was entitled to a government grant of approximately $22,981,000 relating to Kirin County project to subsidize modernization of the neighborhood where the real estate project situated, and control of property price volatility.  The Company believes the government’s demands associated with the grant are gradually fulfilled as the construction and pre-sale of Kirin County make progress, and accordingly recognizes grant income at the percentage of construction completed during the year of the total grant amount.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $2,244,899 and $2,911,596 grant income. The local government has arranged a lump sum payment of the grant to Business Investment, a trust equity owner on behalf of Mr. Guo Jianfeng, prior to the grant’s conditions being met out of financial consideration because it lacked managing staff and concerned that the funds would be re-assigned or invalidated without an immediate recipient.  Pursuant to the arrangement, Business Investment provides this grant money to Xingtai Zhongding in proportion to the percentage of the project completed as a measure to ensure that the project satisfies the grant’s guidelines.  The grant does not have refund conditions and the Company believes government will not revoke the grant or claw back cash remitted to the escrow account unless the construction and sale of Kirin County project is cancelled by the Company.  As at June 30, 2011, the Company didn’t receive any request from government demanding revocation and refund partial or all of the grant previously given, and the Company expects no development relating to the Kirin County project will cause government to request the grant’s refund in next twelve months.

Capitalization of Interest

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, interest incurred during construction is capitalized to properties under construction. No interest was capitalized for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
 The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains majority of its bank accounts in the PRC. All PRC bank balances are denominated in RMB. Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state-owned and commercial financial institutions within the PRC.  China does not have a deposit insurance system; however, the credit risk on bank balances are limited because the Company conducts transactions and deposits balances with several state-owned banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

Restricted Cash

There are two important timings for mortgage business of PRC banks: (1) Execution of mortgage agreement: PRC banks grant mortgage loans to home purchasers and will credit the full amount to the Company account once the bank and the purchaser enter into mortgage agreement, which generally will be before the completion of the construction of projects.  (2) Issuance of House Ownership Certificate to the purchasers. At the time of execution of mortgage agreement, there are no House Ownership Certificate therefore the purchaser has no legal right to the house and therefore they cannot mortgage the house to banks. Banks will ask the developer to provide guarantee to the loan instead. When the House Ownership Certificate is issued, banks will release the guarantee ability of the developer and mortgage the house in question.  If the condominiums are not completed and the new homebuyers have no House Ownership Certificate, to secure the loan, as a common practice in China, the banks will release only 95% loan to the Company and will require that the Company open a separate account with the bank and deposit and freeze the remaining 5% of the mortgage amount to further secure the bank’s interests before the mortgage of the house with House Ownership Certificate. Because bank requires the freeze of the 5% deposit, the amount therein shall be classified on the balance sheet as restricted cash. Interest earned on the restricted cash is credited to the Company’s normal bank account. The bank will release the restricted cash after homebuyers have obtained the House Ownership Certificate and mortgage the house to bank. Total restricted cash amounted to $2,310,100 and $1,563,027 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These deposits are not covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.

Income Taxes

The Company follows ASC 740, Income Taxes, which require 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.

Subsidiaries of the Company located in China are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China concerning the private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a new statutory rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.
 
 
10

 
 
According to the Income Tax Laws of the PRC for real estate developers, income tax of the Company is calculated by project. When all units of a project are sold, tax authorities will assess the tax due on the project and issue a tax due notification to the Company. The Company has to pay the tax by the due date on the notification. If the Company does not pay the tax by the due date, the tax authorities will charge the Company interest. The Company includes any interest and penalties in general and administrative expenses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and it prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognizing, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transitions.

The Company recognizes that virtually all tax positions in the PRC are not free of some degree of uncertainty due to tax law and policy changes by the PRC government. However, the Company cannot reasonably quantify political risk factors and thus must depend on guidance issued by current PRC government officials.

Land Appreciation Tax (“LAT”)

In accordance with the relevant taxation laws in the PRC, the Company is subject to LAT based on progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value, which is calculated as the proceeds of sales of properties less deductible expenditures, including borrowings costs and all property development expenditures. LAT is prepaid at 1% to 2% of the pre-sales proceeds each year as required by the local tax authorities, and is settled generally after the construction of the real estate project is completed and majority of the units are sold.  The Company provides LAT as expensed when the related revenue is recognized based on estimate of the full amount of applicable LAT for the real estate projects in accordance with the requirements set forth in the relevant PRC laws and regulations.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Accumulated other comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company’s only components of comprehensive income during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were net income and the foreign currency translation adjustment.

Earnings Per Share

The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” ASC 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts, such as warrants and convertible preferred stock, to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, or the first time the advertising takes place, in accordance with ASC 720-35, Advertising Costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded an advertising expense of $457,708 and $257,191, respectively.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded an advertising expense of $288,123 and $198,487, respectively.

Property Warranty

The Company provides customers with warranties which cover major defects of building structure and certain fittings and facilities of properties sold as stipulated in the relevant sales contracts. The warranty period varies from two to five years, depending on different property components the warranty covers.
 
 
11

 
 
The Company constantly estimates potential costs for materials and labor with regard to warranty-type claims expected to be incurred subsequent to the delivery of a property. Reserves are determined based on historical data and trends with respect to similar property types and geographical areas. The Company monitors the warranty reserve and makes adjustments to its pre-existing warranties, if any, in order to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available. The Company may seek further recourse against its contractors or any related third parties if it can be proved that the faults are caused by them. In addition, the Company withholds up to 5% of the contract total payment from contractors for periods of two to five years. These amounts are included in liabilities, and are only paid to the extent that there have been no warranty claims against the Company relating to the work performed or materials supplied by the contractors.  As at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company retained $167,392 and $169,500 contract payment to contractors, and the Company didn’t experience any incidences where the withheld amounts were less than the amounts the Company had to pay for the defects of properties.  The Company didn’t provide any warranty reserve.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $nil and $nil incidental costs in addition to the amount retained from contractors.

Impairment Losses
 
Completed lots are reported in the balance sheet at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Land to be developed or under development is assessed for impairment when management believes that events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Based on this assessment, property that is considered impaired is written down to its fair value. Impairment losses are recognized through a charge to expense. No impairment of completed lots or land was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Distribution of Earnings and Reserve Funds

The Company’s ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on the Company receiving distributions from its subsidiaries established in China.  The earnings reflected in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries, and PRC legal restrictions permit payments of dividends out of PRC subsidiaries’ statutory accumulated after-tax profits.

In accordance with the PRC Company Law, the subsidiaries of the Company established in China are required to transfer 10% of their profit after tax, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations, to the statutory reserves until such reserves reach 50% of the registered capital or paid-in capital of the subsidiaries. Subject to certain restrictions set out in the PRC Company Law, the statutory reserves may be distributed to stockholders or owners in the form of share bonus issues to increase share capital, provided that the remaining balance after the capitalization is not less than 25% of the registered capital.  These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends.

Seasonality

The Company typically experience seasonal variations in quarterly operating results and capital requirements.  Historically, unfavorable weather conditions for construction and interruptions of labors caused by Lunar New Year in the first quarter of a calendar year slow the construction progress of the Company’s real estate projects, reduce the operating income and demand for working capital.  The construction progress returns to normal in the second, third and fourth quarters of a year.  We expect this seasonal pattern to continue.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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

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

Note 10 – Income Taxes

(1)  Corporate income tax

The Company is incorporated in the State of Nevada in the U.S., and is subject to a gradual U.S. federal corporate income tax of 15% to 35%. The State of Nevada does not impose any corporate state income tax. Kirin China is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.  Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, Kirin China is not subject to tax on income or capital gains.  In addition, no British Virgin Islands withholding tax is imposed upon payments of dividends by Kirin China. Kirin Development is incorporated in Hong Kong.  Kirin Development did not earn any income that was derived in Hong Kong for the period from its date of incorporation to June 30, 2011 and therefore was not subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax.

The Company’s subsidiaries in China are subject to PRC Enterprise Income Tax (EIT) on taxable income. According to PRC tax laws and regulations, China subsidiaries are subject to EIT with the tax rate 25% since January 1, 2008, except that deemed profit method is applied to Xingtai Zhongding Construction Project Management Co., Ltd., which local tax authorities levy income tax based on deemed profit of 8% of revenue. A withholding income tax rate of 5% is applied if Kirin Management, the wholly-owned foreign enterprise, distributes dividends to its immediate holding company, Kirin Development.

The liability for unrecognized tax benefit is related to the government grant earned by the Company for the development of Kirin County project.  Because the grant is given by local government which received proceeds of the related land use rights through public auction, it is prevailing practice that the entities receive such grants do not include earned grant in taxable income. The Company believes that the possibility exists for local or higher tax authorities re-evaluate this tax position and reverse current practice. The unrecognized tax benefit, if ultimately recognized, will impact the effective tax rate. The Company did not accrue potential penalties and interest related to the unrecognized tax befit on the basis that tax authorities would unlikely levy penalties and interest. The Company does not expect changes in unrecognized tax benefit as of June 30, 2011 to be material in the next twelve months.
 
In accordance with PRC tax administration law and regulations, tax authorities generally have up to five years to claw back underpaid tax plus penalties and interests.  In the case of tax evasion, which is not clearly defined in the law, there is no limitation on the tax years open for investigation.  Accordingly, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries tax years from 2006 to 2010 remains subject to examination by tax authorities.

Note 15 – Earnings per Share

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares comprise shares issuable upon the exercise of Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants, using the treasury stock method. The reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations for income from continuing operations is shown as follows:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions.

Overview

We are a private real estate development company focused on residential and commercial real estate development in “tier-three” cities in the PRC.  Our projects are currently concentrated in Xingtai City, Hebei Province.

We have completed our Ming Shi Hua Ting and Wancheng New World projects in Xingtai City. Our current projects include Kirin County, Kirin Bay and No.79 Courtyard, which call for the development of more than 7,000 homes over the next five years. We intend to expand into the Bohai Sea Surrounding Area, comprised of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei Province, Liaoning Province and Shandong Province, and begin additional projects in the next three to five years.

We focus on middle-income customers in tier-three cities and strive to offer affordable homes. We believe that we are able to keep up with growth due to: (i) our experience in developing real estate projects; (ii) our experienced management team; (iii) our expertise in conducting real estate sales; (iv) our reputation in the local markets we serve; and (v) our strong working relationship with local government.

Recent Developments

·  
On March 1, 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Kirin China in exchange for shares of our common stock pursuant to a share exchange agreement between us, our former principal stockholder, Kirin China and the former principal shareholders of Kirin China (the “Share Exchange”).  As a result of the Share Exchange, Kirin China became our wholly-owned subsidiary and the former shareholders of Kirin China became our controlling stockholders.  The acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein Kirin China is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes.  In connection with the Share Exchange, we spun out our prior operations to our former principal stockholder.  As a result of the Share Exchange, we are now a holding company, which, through certain contractual arrangements with the Operating Companies in the PRC, engages in the development and operation of real estate in the PRC.  On March 10, 2011, we changed our name to “Kirin International Holding, Inc.”

The exercise prices with respect to the Series A warrants and the Series B warrants are $6.25 and $7.50, respectively, subject to adjustment.

Factors Affecting our Operating Results

Growth of China’s Economy. We operate and derive all of our revenue from sales in China. Economic conditions in China, therefore, affect our operations, including the demand for our properties and the availability and prices of our raw materials among other expenses. China has experienced significant economic growth with recorded Gross Domestic Product growth rates at 9.0% in 2008, 9.1% in 2009 and 10.3% in 2010. China is expected to experience continued growth in all areas of investment and consumption. However, if the Chinese economy were to become significantly affected by a negative stimulus, China’s growth rate would likely to decline and our revenue could decline.

Government Regulations. Our business and results of operations are subject to PRC government policies and regulations regarding the following:

·  
Land Use Right — According to the Land Administration Law of the PRC and 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, individuals and companies are permitted to acquire rights to use urban land or land use rights for specific purposes, including residential, industrial and commercial purposes. We acquire land use rights from local governments and/or other entities for development of residential and commercial real estate projects.
·  
Land Development — According to the Urban Real Estate Development and Operation Administration Regulation, the Urban Real Estate Development and Operation Administration Rules of Hebei Province promulgated by the government of the Hebei Province, and the Real Estate Development Enterprise Qualification Administration Regulation, a real estate development enterprise shall obtain a Real Estate Development Enterprise Qualification Certificate. We obtained such certificates and seek to ensure that each phase of our projects complies with our certificates.
·  
Project Financing — According to the Land Administration Law and the Property Law of the PRC, the land use rights, houses and the buildings in process of construction may be pledged and mortgaged. From time to time, we pledge and mortgage our land use rights and real properties to lenders in order to obtain project financing.
·  
Property Sales and Transfers — For each project we develop, pursuant to the Commodity Houses Sale Administration Regulation, effective of June 1, 2001, we are required to obtain permits before commencing sales or presales of such project. Local governments act on the region’s interests by helping private companies streamline such projects and often coordinating with regional housing developers to allow for preliminary presales while Pre-Sales Permits are being processed. For the Company, the local government in Xingtai has recognized the financial cost we assumed in administering the resident removal process and offered us permission to collect non-refundable deposits. This is a local practice enacted by the Xingtai local government to encourage project development. By collecting deposits from certain buyers, we can offer a contractually fixed price to our buyer and ensure them a preference in housing selection.  We may not obtain such approval in other cities if we expand beyond Xingtai.
 
 
21

 
 
Interest Rate and Inflation Challenges. We are subject to market risks due to fluctuations in interest rates and refinancing of mid-term debt. Higher interest rates may also affect our revenues, gross profits and our ability to raise and service debt and to finance our developments.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, China’s national inflation rate was 5.0% in 2008, (0.7) % in 2009 and 3.3% in 2010. Inflation could result in increases in the price of raw materials and labor costs.  We do not believe that inflation or deflation has affected our business materially as of the date of this Report.

Acquisitions of Land Use Rights and Associated Costs. We acquire land for development through the governmental auction process and by obtaining land use rights from third parties through negotiation, acquisition of entities, co-development or other joint venture arrangements.

Our ability to secure sufficient financing for land use rights acquisitions and property development depends on internal cash flows in addition to lenders’ perceptions of our credit reliability, market conditions in the capital markets, investors’ perception of our securities, the PRC economy and the PRC government regulations that affect the availability and cost of financing real estate companies or property purchasers.

Our net income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $1,403,414, a decrease of 16.5% or $276,739, from $1,680,153 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  This decrease was mainly due to an overall increase in operating expenses which include increases in advertising, staff salaries, and maintenances due to sales of Kirin County and the preparation of Kirin Bay and No.79 Courtyard. Kirin County contributed revenue of $7,413,489 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and $6,260,737 for the same period in 2010.  Kirin County’s percentage-of-completion rose from 71.2% as of December 31, 2010 to 80.6% as of June 30, 2011compared with a rise of 12.5% during the same period in 2010.

Under the percentage-of-completion method, the percentage of completed construction at a point in time is multiplied by total value of contracts signed up to that same point. The difference between these figures from different periods reflects the revenue generated during that time frame from the relevant project.

Cost of Real Estate Sales.  Cost of real estate sales consist of land use rights costs and construction costs.  Our costs of real estate sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $5,069,438, an increase of $749,225, or approximately 17.3%, compared to $4,320,213 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Our total cost of real estate sales increased proportionally in relation to new contracts signed and slightly lower percentage-of-completion of our Kirin County project during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $2,344,051, or 32%, compared to $2,065,583, or 32%, for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  This increase was due to increased sales prices for our homes.

The value of newly signed sales contracts totaled $2,285,067 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $3,083,875 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Our total GFA sales were 3,694 square meters for Kirin County for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 4,900 square meters for Kirin County and 166 square meters for Wancheng New World in the same period of 2010.  The value of newly signed sales contracts declined because there are fewer homes in our Kirin County project available for sale to our customers.  Kirin County’s percentage-of-completion was 8.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 which represents a slight decrease from 10.2% in the same 2010 period, mainly due to a shift in construction focus. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we focused on the outside and inner decoration of our buildings, which required a greater amount of time than the construction of infrastructure which was our focus during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

The following table sets forth the consolidated square meters sold and average selling price per square meter by each project for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

Operating Expenses.  As a percentage of total revenue, operating expenses were 18% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 8% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was mainly due to increased marketing activities and higher staff expenses which resulted from new recruitment relating to No.79 Courtyard and Kirin Bay projects.  We expect our selling and marketing expenses to increase in the near future in connection with sales of our Kirin Bay and No.79 Courtyard projects.

Advertising Expenses. Our advertising expenses increased from $198,487 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $288,123 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Advertising expenses reflect payments made for the promotion of all our current projects including those projects from which we have not recognized revenue. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2011 is a result of new efforts to promote our No.79 Courtyard and Kirin Bay projects, in addition to Kirin County.

Staff Salaries. Our total selling and administrative staff salaries increased from $173,191 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $272,753 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This is mostly due to the growing number of staff members required in our No.79 Courtyard and Kirin Bay projects to fulfill increased workload. We expect further increases in staff salaries over the next several quarters as our projects proceed.

Office and Administrative Expenses.  Office and administrative expenses increased from $112,881 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $663,970 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This increase resulted from new expenses incurred as a result of becoming a U.S. publicly reporting company. Such expenses include related legal and counseling expenditures.  In addition, expenditure increased in our office supplies, traveling, and communication costs.

Interest Expense.  Our interest expense was $814,473 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $239,815, or 41.7%, from $574,658 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was mainly due to the addition of mid-term bank loans totaling $22,896,040 in 2011. We expect an elevated level of interest expenses associated with the development of new projects in the future.

Net Income.  Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $1,403,414 compared to $1,680,153 for the same period in 2010. This decrease was principally due to the decrease in the value of newly signed contracts and the increases in office and administrative expenses and advertising expenses.

Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1,092,317, a decrease of 48.3% or $1,021,482, from $2,113,799 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was mainly due to an overall increase in operating expenses which incldes increases in advertising, staff salaries, and maintenances due to sales of Kirin County and the preparation of Kirin Bay and No.79 Courtyard. Kirin County contributed revenue of $10,613,958 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $9,053,582 for the same period in 2010. Kirin County’s percentage-of-completion rose from 71.2% as of December 31, 2010 to 80.6% as of June 30, 2011compared with a rise of 12.5% during the same period in 2010.

Kirin County’s percentage-of-completion was 9.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 which represents a slight decrease from 12.5% in the same 2010 period, mainly due to a shift in construction focus. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we focused on the outside and inner decoration of our buildings, which required a greater amount of time than the construction of infrastructure which was our focus during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $2,205,179, an increase of $1,279,524, or 138.2%, from $925,655 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. With the sales of Kirin County and preparation of Kirin Bay and No.79 Courtyard, our overall operating expenses in advertising, staff salaries, and maintenance increased substantially in the first six months of 2011 compared with the first six months of 2010. As discussed above, we expect our selling and marketing expenses to increase in the near future in connection with sales of our Kirin Bay and No.79 Courtyard projects.

Advertising Expenses. Our advertising expenses increased from $257,191 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $457,708 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This reflects additional advertising expenses paid to promote the sale of our No.79 Courtyard and Kirin Bay projects, currently under construction. The advertising expenses have and are expected to further increase as we make sales in our No.79 Courtyard and Kirin Bay projects.

Staff Salaries. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 our total selling and administrative staff expenses were $571,392 and $320,229 respectively. This is mostly due to the increasing staff hired for our No.79 Courtyard and Kirin Bay projects. As we gradually increase the scope and size of our projects, there is an increasing demand for more administrative and selling staff necessary for meeting satisfactory operation standards. The expenses are expected to continue increasing in the near future as sales and later phases of the No.79 Courtyard and Kirin Bay projects proceed.

Office and Administrative Expenses.  Office and administrative expenses increased from $261,709 to $1,088,546 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011. This is largely due to additional expenses such as office supplies costs, traveling, communication fees, and professional fees.

Interest Expense.  Our interest expense was $1,439,474 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $826,925, or 135%, from $612,549 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was mainly due to the addition of new mid-term bank loans totaling $22,896,040 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. We expect there will be an elevated level of interest expenses associated with the development of new projects in the future.

Income Taxes.  Income taxes expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $805,443, a decrease of $1,030,147 or 56.1% from $1,835,590 the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was mainly because land appreciation tax expenses decreased $652,076 compared to that for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Net Income.  Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1,092,317 (a net profit margin of 10%) compared to $2,113,799 (a net profit margin of 21%) in the six months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $1,021,482 or 48.3%. This decrease was principally due to the decrease in the value of newly signed contracts and the increases in operating expenses.

We had a balance of cash and cash equivalents of $5,924,231 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $19,808,376 for the period ended June 30, 2010. We have historically funded our working capital needs through advance payments from customers, bank borrowings, and capital from stockholders. Our working capital requirements are influenced by the level of our operations, and the timing of capital needed for projects.

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $18,609,751 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3,425,962 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $22,035,713. The decrease in net cash provided in operating activities was primarily because 1) we sped up payment collection in the first half of 2011 leading to a $11,067,324 decrease of revenue in excess of billing for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $3,522,874 increase for the six months ended June 30, 2010; 2) we paid for land use rights of our No.79 Courtyard Project and the land acquisition costs which resulted in a $70,012,211 increase in properties and land lots under development for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a $7,562,343 decrease of such for the six months ended June 30, 2010; 3) we experienced a $38,013,953 increase in the construction payable for our three current projects for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a $496,912 decrease of those projects being constructed during the six months ended June 30, 2010; 4) we had a $15,758,864 increase in customer deposits from our three projects for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a $7,077,651 increase of those from the six months ended June 30, 2010; 5) there was a $6,688,169 decrease of prepayment for our three projects for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a $410,599 increase of such for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $57,990 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net cash of $82,411 used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010, represented a decrease of $24,421 or 29.6%. This is mainly due to less capital used for purchase of equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided for financing activities was $18,225,801 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $9,550,578 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This was mainly from $22,601,700 which was calculated by the average exchange rate for the six months period increased in bank loans for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with 17,118,427 increased in bank loans during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

There can be no assurance that our internally generated cash flows and external financing will be sufficient to meet our contractual and financing obligations in a timely manner. We may acquire additional cash by raising funds through new borrowings, refinancing of existing borrowings, public or private sales of equity securities, or a combination of one or more of the above.

As of June 30, 2011, we entered into non-cancellable agreements with several suppliers for our on-going business of constructing residential and commercial properties. The total amount we committed to pay contractors as outlined in these non-cancellable construction agreements sums to approximately $102 million

On June 19, 2011, the Company procured a bank loan in the amount of $2,320,544 from Xingtai Chengjiao Rural Credit Cooperative Union Association, and per the request of the lender, the Company asked three individuals (Mr. Guo Jianfeng, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Hu Longlin, Chief Executive Officer and a former Director) to borrow the said amount from the lender first and then transferred the loan to the Company.  The Company will use the loan and will born all the interests cost thereof. The loan was guaranteed by Hebei Zhongding.

Due to a Stockholder

Mr. Guo Jianfeng, the controlling beneficial owner of the Company, himself and through various affiliate companies and individuals, provided working capital to and withdrew funds from the Operating Companies in China occasionally.  The working capital provided by Mr. Guo Jianfeng was primarily used for paying off construction costs of real estate projects and the purchase of land use rights for future development.

Relocation Program of Kong Village

Local government did not have enough funds to pay for the relocation and new accommodations of Kong Village’s residents prior to the sale of the village’s land-use right. Consequently, the Company funded the local government by building new complexes and compensating and accommodating the villagers for and during the relocation. The government will repay our costs (a form of financing provided to government) when it sells the land use rights on which the previous villagers were removed. In exchange for such financing, the Company is assured the vacated land use right in public auction; (we will be refunded according to the sale price of the land so the bidding process is noncompetitive). We will construct 1818 units in Kong Villagers or about 280,000 square meters in housing. We will get repaid as the parcels of land use rights are sold. We will attend all the auction and bidding process and acquire the vacated land.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to an investment in our securities.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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

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

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
