NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Zhongbao International, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Fitwayvitamins, Inc., is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada.
On February 11, 2011, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with China Dahua Group International Holdings Property Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“Dahua”), and acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Dahua from Mr. Haoji Xia, tha sole shareholder of Dahua (the "Dahua Shareholder”).
In connection with the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued to the Dahua Shareholder an aggregate of 1,616,161 shares (equivalent to 24,242,415 shares after the stock forward split in March 2011) of the common stock of the Company, at par value of $0.001 per share, so that upon completion of the Share Exchange, the Dahua Shareholder owns 85% of the common stock of the Company. Accordingly, Dahua became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Immediately prior to the share exchange, the Company had 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, authorized, of which 10,285,205 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. On February 11, 2011, immediately prior to and as a condition to the completion of the Exchange Agreement, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Split-Off Agreement”) with Margret Wessels, the Company’s then Chairperson, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary and sole director. Pursuant to the Split-Off Agreement, Ms. Wessels purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fitway Holdings Corp., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Fitway Holdings”), in consideration of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by Ms. Wessels. In addition, Mr. Xia and Ms. Wessels entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Mr. Xia purchased 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by Ms. Wessels for an aggregate purchase price of $320,000. Immediately after the consummation of this transaction, Mr. Xia caused such shares of common stock purchased from Ms. Wessels to be transferred back to the Company, and the Company cancelled and extinguished such shares. The closing of both of these transactions took place on February 11, 2011, the closing date of the share exchange. As a result of these transactions, Ms. Wessels ceased to own any shares of the Company’s common stock.
Upon completion of the Merger, there were 1,901,366 shares (equivalent to 28,520,490 shares after the stock forward split in March 2011) of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding.
As a result of these transactions, Ms. Wessels resigned from all her positions with the Company and Mr. Xia was appointed President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company.
Subsequently, on April 7, 2011, the Company’s name was changed from “Fitwayvitamins Inc.” to “Zhongbao International, Inc.” in order to more effectively reflect the Company’s business and communicate the Company’s brand identity to customers.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
The above mentioned merger transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger since there was a change of control. Accordingly, Dahua is treated as the continuing entity for accounting purposes.
On February 24, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock forward split of one-for-fourteen shares of its common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share. The stock forward split was effective on March 24, 2011. The Company’s Statements of Stockholders’ Equity have been retroactively restated as a result of the stock forward split in connection with this recapitalization. As a result of the stock forward split, there were 28,520,490 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2011.
Dahua is a British Virgin Island corporation that owns 100% of the equity of Hao Yu Group Limited, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“HYG”). HYG owns 100% of the equity of Chongqing Difa Investment Management Limited Company, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Difa”). On November 10, 2010, Difa entered into a series of variable interest entity agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) with Chongqing Zhongbao Investment Group Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Zhongbao”), and its two owners, Mr. Xia and his wife, Ms.Wanteng Fei, to manage and operate the real estate business activities of Zhongbao, principally residential apartments, commercial properties and car parks. All of the business of Zhongbao is located in the People’s Republic of China.
Zhongbao, formerly known as Chongqing Yulun Business Development Company Limited and Chongqing Haoji Xinjie Company Limited, was incorporated in Chongqing, People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on September 29, 2001, with an initial registered capital of RMB 10.1 million (approximately $1.2 million). Its registered capital was increased to RMB 148 million (equivalent to $19.6 million) in March 2008. The Company is engaged in real estate development, primarily in the construction and sale of residential apartments, commercial properties as well as car parking spaces.
Under these VIE Agreements, which obligate Difa to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from Zhongbao’s activities and entitle it to receive a majority of its residual returns, Difa has gained effective control over Zhongbao. Through these VIE Agreements, Difa now holds the variable interests of Zhongbao, and Difa becomes the primary beneficiary of Zhongbao. Based on these VIE Agreements, Zhongbao is considered as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) under ASC 810, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No.51", because the equity investor in Zhongbao no longer has the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Accordingly, Zhongbao should be consolidated under ASC 810.
Zhongbao has two equity owners: Mr. Xia (80.6%) and Ms. Fei (19.4%). Accordingly, the Company is effectively controlled by the same shareholder as Zhongbao. Additionally, pursuant to a voting proxy agreement among Difa, Mr. Xia and Ms. Fei, Mr. Xia and Ms. Fei entrusted all of their rights to exercise their voting power in Zhongbao to Difa. The Company, through its acquisition of Dahua, has 100% equity interest in Difa as of November 10, 2010. Therefore, Difa and Zhongbao are considered under common control. The consolidation of Difa and Zhongbao has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the VIE Agreements among Difa, Zhongbao and its owners had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the selection of the useful lives of property and equipment, provision necessary for contingent liabilities, fair values, revenue recognition, taxes, budgeted costs and other similar charges. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other then quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, advances to vendors, other deposits and prepayments, other receivables, accounts payable, customer deposits, other payables and tax payables. Management has estimated that the fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature. The fair value of long-term bank loans also approximate their recorded value because long-term borrowings bear a floating rate of interest. As the stated interest rate reflects the market rate, the carrying value of the bank borrowings approximates its fair value.
Revenue recognition
Real estate sales are reported in accordance with the ASC 360-20 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue from the sales of development properties is recognized by the full accrual method at the time of the closing of an individual unit sale. This occurs when title to or possession of the property is transferred to the buyer. A sale is not considered consummated until (a) the parties are bound by the terms of a contract, (b) all consideration has been exchanged, (c) any permanent financing for which the seller is responsible has been arranged, (d) all conditions precedent to closing have been performed, (e) the seller does not have substantial continuing involvement with the property, and (f) the usual risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Further, the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property, and the buyer’s receivable, if any, is not subject to future subordination. Sales transactions not meeting all the conditions of the full accrual method are accounted for using the deposit method in which all costs are capitalized as incurred, and payments received from the buyer are recorded as a deposit liability.
Real estate lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leasing agreements. Business tax and depreciation cost of the property are recorded as the cost of rental income.
Foreign currency translation
The Company's financial statements are presented in US dollars. In accordance with ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters", an entity's functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates; normally, that is the currency of the environment in which an entity primarily generates and expends cash. Since substantially all operations of the Company are conducted in the PRC, the functional currency of the Company is Renminbi ("RMB"), the currency of the PRC. Transactions at the Company which are denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the exchange rate quoted by the People's Bank of China prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The financial statements of the Company have been translated into U.S. dollars. The financial statements are first prepared in RMB and then are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenue and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity.

The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. Accounts receivables are considered past due after twelve months. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and recorded based on managements’ assessment of the credit history with the customers.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Expenditure for land development, including cost of land use rights, deed tax, pre-development costs, and engineering costs, exclusive of depreciation, 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 area of units to the estimated total sales area 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 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, real estate property development completed and under development are subject to valuation adjustments when the carrying amount exceeds fair value. An impairment loss shall be recognized only if the carrying amounts 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.
Management evaluates, on an annual basis, the impairment of the Company’s real estate developments based on a community level. Each community is assessed as an individual project. The evaluation takes into account several factors including, but not limited to, physical condition, inventory holding period, management’s plans for future operations, prevailing market prices for similar properties and projected cash flows. No impairment losses were deemed to have occurred as of the balance sheet dates.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost of an asset is comprised of its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.
In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset beyond its originally assessed standard of performances, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, less any estimated residual value. Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Buildings 20 years
Machinery and equipment 5 years
Vehicles 5 years

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement of property and equipment is recognized in the year occurred and is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and the resulting profit or loss is reflected in the income statement.
Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expense as occurred unless such expenditures extend the useful life or represent a betterment, in which case they are capitalized.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with ASC 360, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the Company is required to review its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
The Company tests long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and other assets, for recoverability when events or circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally determined by using the asset's expected future discounted cash flows or market value.
The Company estimates fair value of the assets based on certain assumptions such as budgets, internal projections, and other available information as considered necessary. There was no impairment of long-lived assets as of the balance sheet dates.
Advance to vendors
Advances to vendors consist of balances paid to contractors and vendors for services and materials that have not been provided or received and generally relate to the development and construction of residential units in the PRC. Advances to vendors are reviewed periodically to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers the assets to be impaired if the collectability of the services and materials become doubtful. As of the balance sheet dates, no allowance is deemed necessary because the collectability of the services and materials are fairly certain.

Real estate properties held for lease, net
Real estate properties held for lease are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of the real estate properties held for lease are 20 years.
Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expenses as incurred. Major additions and improvements to the real estate properties held for lease are capitalized.
Capitalized interest
Capitalized interest is accounted for in accordance with ASC 835 “Interest”.
For loans to finance projects and provide for working capital, the Company charges the borrowing costs related to working capital loans to interest expense when incurred and capitalized interest costs related to project development as a component of the project costs.
The interest to be capitalized for a project is based on the amount of borrowings related specifically to such project. Interest for any period is capitalized based on the amounts of accumulated expenditures and the interest rate of the loans. Payments received from the pre-sales of units in the project are deducted in the computation of the amount of accumulated expenditures during a period. The interest capitalization period begins when expenditures have been incurred and activities necessary to prepare the asset (including administrative activities before construction) have begun, and ends when the project is substantially completed. Interest capitalized is limited to the amount of interest incurred.
The interest rate used in determining the amount of interest capitalized is the weighted average rate applicable to the project-specific borrowings. However, when accumulated expenditures exceed the principal amount of project-specific borrowings, the Company also capitalizes interest on borrowings that are not specifically related to the project, at a weighted average rate of such borrowings.
The Company’s significant judgments and estimates related to interest capitalization include the determination of the appropriate borrowing rates for the calculation, and the point at which capitalization is started and discontinued. Changes in the rates used or the timing of the capitalization period may affect the balance of property under development and the costs of sales recorded. The capitalized interest for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $169,612 and $294,834, respectively. The capitalized interest for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $ 585,851 and $434,199, respectively.

Customer deposits
Customer deposits consist of amounts received from customers relating to the sale of residential units in the PRC. In the PRC, customers will generally obtain permanent financing for the purchase of their residential unit prior to the completion of the project. The lending institution will provide the funding to the Company upon the completion of the financing rather than the completion of the project. The Company receives these funds and recognizes them as a current liability until the revenue can be recognized.
Other payables
Other payables consist of balances for non-construction costs with unrelated companies and individuals with which the Company has business relationships. These amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and generally are short-term in nature.
Property warranty
The Company provides customers with warranties which cover major defects of building structure and certain fittings and facilities of properties sold. The warranty period varies from two years to five years, depending on different property components the warranty covers. 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 constantly 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 also withholds up to 2% to 5% of the contract cost from sub-contractors for periods of two to five years. These amounts are included in non-current liabilities, and are only paid to the extent that there has been no warranty claim against the Company relating to the work performed or materials supplied by the subcontractors. As of the balance sheet dates, the Company had not recognized any warranty liability or incurred any warranty costs in excess of the amount retained from subcontractors.

Income taxes
The Company utilizes ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” 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.
ASC 740-10-25 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. It also provides guidance on the recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures. There are no material uncertain tax positions as of the balance sheet dates.
Comprehensive income
ASC 220, "Comprehensive Income" requires disclosure of all components of comprehensive income and loss on an annual and interim basis. Comprehensive income and loss is defined as
the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income represents income from the changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s only components of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were net income and the foreign currency translation adjustment.
Advertising expenses
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred, or the first time the advertising takes place, in accordance with ASC 720-35 “Advertising Costs”. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded advertising expenses of $ 7,018 and $44,957, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded advertising expenses of $ 38,430 and $72,085, respectively.
Earnings per share
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS’) in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”), and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

Restricted cash represents cash set aside for a particular use or event and is subject to withdrawal restrictions. The Company is required to maintain certain deposits, as restricted cash, with banks that provide mortgage loans to the Company’s customers. These deposits are guarantees for the mortgage loans and are normally equivalent to 5% of the mortgage proceeds paid to the Company. These deposits are not covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts and management believes its restricted cash account is not exposed to any risks.

The Company originally expected to obtain the Certificate of Land Use Right for this land deposit in February 2011 and planned to start a new real estate property development project on this land in June 2011. Due to the slow government approval procedure, as of the date of this report, the Company has not yet obtained the land use right.

Pursuant to the agreement, the Company was required to make advance payment of RMB 26 million (approximate to $3.9 million) to Nanan Electrical Wire Plant to be used to relocate the existing residents and make the land to be available for re-development. Total area of this land amounted to 294,216 square feet and the Company is expecting to start the new real estate development project on this site in late 2011 when the government certification related to the land is expected to be received. The prepayment of RMB 26 million will be accounted for as land costs for this new development project.
(c) On November 23, 2007, the Company entered into a fixed asset purchase agreement with Chongqing Fuzichi Commercial Property Management Company to acquire an office space of 5,764 square meters to be delivered to the Company in early 2011 when the construction of the office space is expected to be completed.

It is the Company’s continuing practice to recognize 5% of the sales tax on estimated revenue, and file tax returns based on the actual result. In the PRC, the local tax authority may exercise broad discretion in applying the tax amount. As a result, the Company’s accrual for sales tax may differ from the actual tax.
United States
The parent, Zhongbao International, Inc. (formerly Fitwayvitamins Inc.), was incorporated in the United States. Due to the change in control resulting from the reverse acquisition in February 2011 it does not report any taxable income as of March 31, 2011. Management doesn't expect to remit any of its net income back to the United States in the foreseeable future.

(c) Land appreciation tax
Since January 1, 1994, LAT has been applicable at progressive tax rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land values, with an exemption provided for the sales of ordinary residential properties if the appreciation values do not exceed certain thresholds specified in the relevant tax laws. However, the Company’s local tax authority in Chongqing city has not imposed the regulation on real estate companies in its area of administration. Instead, the local tax authority has levied the LAT at the rate of 1.0% against total cash receipts from sales of real estate properties, rather than according to the progressive rates.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has made full payment for LAT with respect to properties sold through those dates in accordance with the requirements of the local tax authorities.

ZHONGBAO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2011 AND 2010
NOTE 13- STATUTORY RESERVE
The Company is required to make appropriations to reserve funds, comprising the statutory surplus reserve and discretionary surplus reserve, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the PRC (“PRC GAAP”). Appropriations to the statutory surplus reserve is required to be at least 10% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entities’ registered capital. Appropriations to the discretionary surplus reserve are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
The statutory surplus reserve fund is non-discretionary other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value of shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining statutory surplus reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital before the conversion.
Pursuant to the Company’s articles of incorporation, the Company has appropriated 10% of its net profits as statutory surplus reserve for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. For the nine months ended March 31,2010, no statutory surplus reserve was necessary due to the Company’s accumulated deficit.
The discretionary surplus reserve may be used to acquire property and equipment or to increase working capital.. The Company’s Board of Directors elected not to make an appropriation to this reserve for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
NOTE 14- CONTINGENCIES
As is industry practice, the Company provides guarantees to PRC banks with respect to loans procured by the purchasers of the Company’s real estate properties for the total mortgage loan amount until the completion of the registration of the mortgage with the relevant mortgage registration authorities, which generally occurs within six to twelve months after the purchasers take possession of the relevant properties. The mortgage banks require the Company to maintain, as restricted cash, 5% to 10% of the mortgage proceeds as security for the Company’s obligations under such guarantees. If a purchaser defaults on its payment obligations, the mortgage bank may deduct the delinquent mortgage payment from the security deposit and require the Company to pay the excess amount if the delinquent mortgage payments exceed the security deposit. The Company has made necessary reserves in its restricted cash account to cover any potential mortgage default as required by mortgage lenders. The Company has not experienced any losses related to this guarantee and believes that such reserves are sufficient.
NOTE 15-CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
The Company’s real estate projects are concentrated in Chongqing Municipality City, PRC. Any negative events such as a slowdown in the economy in Chongqing might cause material loss to the Company and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The risk in this respect will be mitigated by the Company by expanding its operations outside of Chongqing.

Revenues
Real estate sales
We derived our revenues predominantly from sales of our residential real estate properties. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, revenues from sales of our residential real estate properties were $8,584,694 and $2,992,130, representing an increase of $5,592,564. We recognized real estate sales revenue when all the criteria for revenue recognition have been met and the property has been delivered to buyers. The revenue recognition for each accounting period may vary because of the progress of the construction of the real estate property and actual property delivered to buyers may change from time to time. Our sales revenue was affected by the number of unit sold and also affected by the market price increase. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the construction of building #3, #3A of Jinshan Liyuan Phase III had been completed and delivered to the buyers at an average sales price of RMB 3,253 (approximately $492) per square meter. A total 224 unit of residential property have been sold during this three months ended period. For the same period of 2010, only 107 unit of residential property were sold at an average selling price of RMB 1,972 (approximately $290) per square meter. As a result, the number of units sold increased 109%, and the selling price increased 65%. In addition, in terms of total areas sold, 17,617 square meters were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and only 10,768 square meters were sold for the three months ended March 31, 2010, with total areas sold increasing 6,848 square meters or 64% when comparing three months ended March 31, 2011 with the prior comparative period. Accordingly, real estate sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased when comparing the same period of 2010. Revenue from real estate sales are presented in the net amount, which means sales taxes are deducted from the gross amount to get the net sales revenue. Sales tax is a one-time tariff which consists of a business tax at the rate of 5% on actual revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we reported sales tax in connection with the real estate sales in the amount of $604,500 and $220,304, respectively.
Revenue - Real estate lease
In addition to real estate property sales, we also constructed and held some commercial space and basement parking lots for leasing in order to generate rental income. Real estate properties held for lease are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. We have entered into several leasing contract with various outside parties and leased these commercial space or parking lots for rental income. Overall, rental income is immaterial to the Company’s total revenue.

Our cost of real estate sales consists primarily of the cost of land use rights and construction costs. Costs of real estate sales are capitalized and allocated to development projects using the specific identification method. Costs are recorded based on the ratio of the sales value of the relevant units completed and sold to the estimated total project sales value, multiplied by the total project costs.
Land use rights costs include the premium we pay to acquire land use rights for our property development sites, plus taxes. Our land use rights costs vary for different projects according to the size and location of the site and the minimum land premium set for the site, all of which are influenced by government policies, as well as prevailing market conditions. Our land use right costs for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $152,483, representing a decrease of $183,708 or 54.6%, as compared to that of for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This was because more land use costs have been allocated in prior periods when principal construction of the Jinshan Liyuan Project was still under way.
We outsource the construction of all of our projects to third party contractors, who are selected through a competitive tender process. Our construction contracts provide a fixed payment which covers substantially all labor, materials, equipment costs, subject to adjustments for some types of excess, such as design changes during construction or changes in government-suggested steel prices. As a result, our construction costs consisted primarily of the payments to third-party contractors, which are paid over the construction period based on specified milestones. Our direct construction costs for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $1,632,956, representing an increase of $511,972 or 45.7%, as compared to that of for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Cost of real estate sales increased $1.49 million or 98% when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010. We allocate cost of real estate sales by using the specific identification method which means the total square meters of the property been sold times the average unit costs to determine the total cost of revenue. Our unit construction costs were basically historically determined, including the construction cost, land costs, facility costs, etc. These costs are accumulated in a cost pool and are allocated to the each building and each square meter under construction and then transfer to cost of revenue when the finished goods are sold to the buyers and when revenue can be recognized. If the unit cost is relatively stable, it is the total areas sold which determines the total cost of revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the average unit cost included in the property sold was RMB 1,128 (approximately $171) per square meter, while for the same period of 2010, the average unit cost included in the property sold was RMB 942 (approximately $141) per square meter. Unit cost increased 21.2% from 2011 to 2010. Therefore, when comparing the total cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, because total of 17,617 square meters were sold in 2011 and only 10,768 square meters were sold for the three months ended March 31, 2010, the total areas sold increased 63.6% from 2010 to 2011. The increase in total areas sold and unit cost led to increased cost of real estate sales. Revenue increased by approximately 186.9% while cost of real estate sales increased by 98.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 due to the increase in the overall market selling price from RMB 1,972 (approximately $295) per square meter in 2010 to RMB 3,254 (approximately $492) per square meter in 2011.
Our cost of real estate leases consists primarily of maintenance, repairs and minor renewals.

Gross profit from our real estate business increased by $4.14 million or 286.7% to $5,583,296 for three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1,443,745 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primary due to increased revenue from real estate sales as discussed above. The gross margin of our real estate business increased from 47.29% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 64.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase of gross margin was principally attributed to the increase in sale price per square meter and increase in sales revenue as discussed above.
Selling and distribution expenses
Our selling and distributing expenses include:(1) advertising and promotion expenses, such as billboard and other physical advertising cost, and costs associated with our showrooms and model apartments and (2) sales commissions paid to a third-party marketing firm, to whom we outsourced the sales and marketing of the real estate property developed.
Selling expense increased 103.4% or $167,960 when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010. The increase in selling expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily affected by the increase in sales commission paid to outsourced sales and marketing firm, Chongqing Xinshang Real Estate Consulting Firm ("Xinshang"). We outsourced the sales and marketing activities to Xinshang and paid sales commissions based on 2.3% of the total sales collection amount from the consulting firm. For the same period in 2010, we were only required to pay sales commission based on 1.5% of the sales price to outside consulting firm. As the sales commission rate increased, we paid RMB 2.03 million (approximately $319,238) as sales commission to the consulting firm for the three months ended March 31, 2011 because the actual cash collection from this agent’s sales effort was much higher within the three months ended March 31, 2011. For the prior comparative period, we only paid $113,452 sales commission to the outside sales and marketing consulting firm.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our general and administrative expenses were $516,855, representing an increase of $115,756 or 28.9%, as compared to that for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily a result of the following factors; (1) professional and consulting costs increased $159,720 because we paid more consulting and legal fees for going public in the U.S., (2) salary expense increased $50,908 because we hired more qualified personnel in order to support our public going effort, and (3) travel expense and meals expense increased $40,212 because we are trying to start a new real estate property development in Shaanxi Xi’an and, accordingly, incurred more travel and meals expense for project planning.
We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we expand our business and operations. In addition, as a result of going public, we are subject to the rules and regulations of the United States securities laws regarding corporate governance and internal controls. Therefore, we expect to incur more cost by hiring qualified professionals who are knowledgeable about US accounting and capital markets. Our general and administrative expense may also increase due to our need for more personnel as our business continues to grow.
Income tax expenses
Income tax expense increased $982,522 or 476.8% when comparing three months ended March 31, 2011 with three months ended March 311, 2010. The change is primarily due to increased sales revenue and taxable income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as discussed above.
Net Income
As a result of the above factors, we reported net income of $3.49 million for the three months ended March 31 2011, as compared to net income of $680,943 for the three months ended March 31 2010. Net income increased by $2.81 million or 413.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the increase in sales revenue, especially increase in sales price and areas sold as discussed above.

Revenue
Real estate sales
Real estate sales represented our sales revenue from sales of residential or commercial units to various buyers in China. We recognized real estate sales revenue when all the criteria for revenue recognition have been met and the property has been delivered to the respective buyer. The revenue recognition for each accounting period may vary because of the progress of the construction of the real estate property and actual property delivered to the buyer may change from time to time.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, revenues from sales of our residential real estate properties were $24,823,431 and $18,076,386, representing an increase of $6,747,045 or 37.3%. Our sales revenue was affected by the number of units sold and also affected by the market price increase. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, the construction of buildings #1, #3, #3A, #4, #5, #10 and #11 of Jinshan Liyuan Phase III had been completed and delivered to the buyers at an average sales price of RMB 2,924 (approximately $444) per square meter. A total 756 unit of residential property have been sold during this nine month period. For the same period of 2010, 708 unit of residential property were sold at an average selling price of RMB 1,882 (approximately $277) per square meter. In addition, in terms of total areas sold, 69,739 square meters were sold for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and only 59,772 square meters were sold for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, with total areas sold decreasing 14.3% from 2010 to 2011. As a result, the number of unit sold increased 6.8%, and the selling price increased 55.4%. Accordingly, real estate sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 increased when comparing the same period of 2010. Revenue from real estate sales are presented in the net amount, which means sales taxes are deducted from the gross amount to get the net sales revenue. Sales tax is a one-time tariff which consists of a business tax at the rate of 5% on actual revenue. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we reported sales tax in connection with the real estate sales in the amount of $1,746,849 and $1,214,640, respectively.
Revenue- Real estate lease
We have constructed and held some commercial space and basement parking lots for leasing in order to generate rental income. Real estate properties held for lease are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. We have entered into several leasing contract with various outside parties and leased these commercial space or parking lots for rental income. Overall, rental income is immaterial to our total revenue.

Our cost of real estate sales consists primarily of the cost of land use rights and construction costs. Costs of real estate sales are capitalized and allocated to development projects using the specific identification method. Costs are recorded based on the ratio of the sales value of the relevant units completed and sold to the estimated total project sales value, multiplied by the total project costs.
Land use rights costs include the premium we pay to acquire land use rights for our property development sites, plus taxes. Our land use rights costs vary for different projects according to the size and location of the site and the minimum land premium set for the site, all of which are influenced by government policies, as well as prevailing market conditions. Our land use cost for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, was $1,479,869, representing a decrease of $711,492 or 32.4% as compared to that of for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
We outsource the construction of all of our projects to third party contractors, who are selected through a competitive tender process. Our construction contracts provide a fixed payment which covers substantially all labor, materials, equipment costs, subject to adjustments for some types of excess, such as design changes during construction or changes in government-suggested steel prices. As a result, our construction costs consisted primarily of the payments to third-party contractors, which are paid over the construction period based on specified milestones. Our direct construction cost for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $5,222,086, representing a decrease of $902,526 or 14.7% as compared to that of for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
Total cost of real estate sales was $8,347,193 and $9,229,050 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, representing a decrease of $881,858 or 9.6%. We allocate cost of real estate sales by using the specific identification method which means the total square meters of the property been sold times the average unit costs to determine the total cost of revenue. Our unit construction costs were basically historically determined, including the construction cost, land costs, facility costs, etc. These costs are accumulated in a cost pool and are allocated to the each building and each square meter under construction and then transfer to cost of revenue when the finished goods are sold to the buyers and when revenue can be recognized. If the unit cost is relatively stable, it is the total areas sold which determines the total cost of revenue. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, the average unit cost included in the property sold was RMB 912 (approximately $139) per square meter, while for the same period of 2010, the average unit cost included in the property sold was RMB 884 (approximately $132) per square meter. Unit cost increased 5.3% from 2010 to 2011. Therefore, when comparing the total cost of revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, because total of 69,739 square meters were sold in 2010 and only 59,772 square meters were sold for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, the total areas sold decreased 14.3% from 2010 to 2011. Revenue increased by approximately 37.3% but cost of revenue decreased by 9.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 due to the increase in the overall market selling price from RMB 1,881 (approximately $276) per square meter in 2010 to RMB 2,925 (approximately $443) per square meter in 2011.

Gross profit increased from 48.09% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to 65.56% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, representing a $7.6 million increase. The increase was primarily due to increased revenue from real estate sales and decrease in the cost of real estate sales as discussed above.
Selling Expenses:
Our selling and distribution expenses include: (1) advertising and promotion expenses, such as billboard and other physical advertising cost, and costs associated with our showrooms and model apartments and (2) sales commissions paid to a third-party marketing firm, to whom the Company outsourced the sales and marketing of the real estate property developed.
Selling expense was $734,828 and $247,030 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, representing an increase of 197.5% or $487,798. This was because for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we outsourced the sales and marketing activities to Xinshang and paid sales commissions based on 2.3% of the sales collection amount from the consulting firm. In the same period of 2010, the Company was only required to pay sales commission based on 1.5% of the sales price to the outside consulting firm. As the sales commission rate increased, the Company paid RMB 4.48 million (approximately $0.68 million) as sales commission to the consulting firm for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 because the actual cash collection from this agent’s sales effort was much higher within the nine months ended March 31, 2010. For the prior comparative period, sales commission paid to this consulting firm amounted to RMB 1.1 million (approximately $161,362).
General administrative expense:
Our general and administrative expenses principally include:
(1) Staff salaries and benefits;
(2) Traveling and entertainment expenses;
(3) Professional fees, such as audit and legal fees, and
(4) Other associated fees.
General administrative expense was $1,919,783 and $942,343 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, representing an increase of 103.7% or $977,441. The increase in the general and administrative expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to the increased professional and consulting fees incurred during the period to become a public company. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we incurred such g fees of RMB 5.35 million (approximately $813,322). No such fees were incurred for the same period of 2010. In addition, we also incurred certain general administrative expenses for establishing our subsidiary Chongqing Weitai Real Estate Management Co., Ltd., Chongqing Zhaoli Real Estate Consulting Co., Ltd. and Shanxi Zhongbao Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. during the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
Interest expense
Our interest expense primarily relates to the outstanding bank borrowings. Interest; expense was $108,858 and $281,490 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, representing a decrease of $172,631 or 61.3%. The decrease in the interest expense was because we had outstanding long-term bank loans of $11.2 million as of March 31, 2011, on which most of the interest expense has been capitalized as construction cost because the purpose of such bank loans was to use them in the construction of our real estate projects. In order to obtain these bank loans, we were required to pay RMB 850,000 (approximately $125,749) as financial expense to the bank for the loans borrowed. This was the only interest expense incurred for the nine months ended March 31, 201110 and it was offset by the interest income of RMB 162,750 (approximately $24,738) received. During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, in addition to the short-term bank loans, we borrowed funds from certain outside lending institutions for two or three months to use for working capital rather than project construction, and accordingly, such expense was recorded as financial expense. Total interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 amounted to $281,490 which was more than in 2011.
Other expense:
For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we donated RMB 12 million (approximately $1.8 million) to China Siyuan Foundation for Poverty Alleviation in order to help Three-gorges immigrants to fight against poverty and also help to green environment in the Three-gorges areas. We recorded the donation as non-operating expenses, which are tax-deductible. No such expense was incurred in the same period of 2010.
Income tax Expense:
Income tax expense was $2,994,989 and $1,779,499 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011and 2010, respectively, representing an increase of $1,215,490 or 68.3%, primarily due to increased sales revenue and taxable income for the nine months ended March 31, 2011as discussed above.
Our company is subject to a 25% corporate income tax rate in PRC. Prior to 2010, we suffered significant operating losses. For Chinese income tax purpose, these operating losses can be carried forward and be available to reduce future years' taxable income. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded income tax provision of $2,994,989, none of which was deferred. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we recorded income tax provisions of $1,779,499 after applying the net operating loss carry-forwards of $63,137.
Deferred income tax reflects the net effects of temporary difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statements purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and operating loss carry-forward.
The components of deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 consisted of the following:

Net income:
As a result of the above factors, we reported net income of $8.87 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to net income of $5.59 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Net income increased by $3,285,833 or 58.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the increase in sales revenue and decrease in cost of real estate sales as discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Our principal sources of financing are our cash generated by operating activities, and borrowings from banks.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, net cash used in operating activities amounted to $494,374, and for the same period of 2010, net cash provided by operating activities were $447,182. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $437,745 and $7,729,409 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $1,509,520 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $6,155,947 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
As of March 31, 2011and June 30, 2010, our reported cash and cash equivalents were $2,980,529 and $5,248,059, respectively. We have maintained good relationships with various local banks which we believe will provide additional capital when we need it. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, our operating cash flows and our available borrowing sources from banks will be sufficient to finance our working capital needs in the future.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $494,374, including net income of $8,877,836, and affected by changes in assets and liabilities such as an increase in real estate property development completed of $4,142,007 because we have completed the construction of several buildings of Phase III of Jinshan Liyuan and transferred these completed properties out of the construction costs pool as finished inventory to be available for sales in the future, real estate property under development increased $7,386,055 because we invested the same amount into the construction of Jinshan Liyuan Phase III and Phase IV in response to the increased market demand, tax payable increased $1,669,643 resulting from our increased sales activities and taxable income for the period indicated. These increases were offset by a decrease in advance to vendors of $2,944,223 primarily due to our advance payment to one of the major subcontractor Chongqing Ruina Real Estate Construction Company ("Ruina") has been transferred into the construction costs in order to ensure the construction work of Jinshan Liyuan Phase III can be done as smoothly as expected. Ruina is the major construction subcontractor on Jinshan Liyuan Project and we believe we have maintained a good long-term relationship with Ruina.
Net cash provided by operating activities for nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $447,182, mainly due to a decrease in real estate property under development of $4,310,770 because we completed most of the construction work on Jinshan Liyuan Phase I and II, and transferred these amount out of the construction pool to finished inventory or delivered these completed properties to the buyers, a decrease in customer deposits of $2,339,649 representing recognition of the related amounts as revenues after meeting all conditions of revenue recognition criteria, and increase in taxes payable of $2,338,782 due to increased sales and taxable income, offset by a decrease of accounts payable of $8,798,593 because we paid the subcontractors the same amount when cash generated from operating activities became available.

Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business, and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor price changes in the Chinese economy and the real estate industry and continually maintain effective cost controls in operations.
Seasonality
Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to dramatic seasonal variations, although there is an increase in advertising and selling expenses when we begin pre-sales of new projects under construction. New market opportunities or new project introductions could change any perceived patterns, seasonal or operational.
