The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Green Giant Inc., formerly China HGS Real Estate Inc. (“~~GG”~~GGE” or the “Company” or “we”, “us”, “our”), through its subsidiaries and the variable interest entity ~~(“VIE”~~(the “VIE”), engages in real estate development, and the construction and sales of residential apartments, parking spaces and commercial properties in Tier 3 and Tier 4 cities and counties in China. On March 23, 2022, the Company completed the change of its name from China HGS Real Estate Inc. to Green Giant Inc., effective immediately (the “Name Change”).

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by ~~generally accepted accounting principles~~U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 filed with the SEC on January 13, ~~2022.~~2023.

In recent years, the Chinese government has implemented measures to control overheating residential and commercial property prices including but not limited to restrictions on home ~~purchases,~~purchase, increasing the down-payment requirement against speculative buying, development of low-cost rental housing properties to help low-income groups while reducing the demand in the commercial housing market, increasing real estate property taxes to discourage speculation, control of the land supply and slowdown the construction land auction process, etc. In addition, in December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced. COVID-19 has spread rapidly throughout China and worldwide, which has caused significant volatility in the PRC and international markets. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the ~~PRC’s~~PRC and international economies. To reduce the spread of COVID-19, the Chinese government has employed measures including city lockdowns, quarantines, travel restrictions, suspension of business activities and school closures. Due to difficulties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including, but not limited to, the temporary closure of the Company’s facilities and operations beginning in early February through early March 2020, limited support from the Company’s employees, delayed access to construction raw material supplies, reduced customer visits to the Company’s sales office, and inability to promote real estate property sales to customers on a timely ~~basis.~~basis, The Company had real estate sales of approximately ~~$7.2~~$0.7 million for the six months ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, decreased from ~~$21.0~~$7.2 million in the same period of last year. ~~Due~~Based on the assessment of the current economic environment, customer demand and sales trends, we believe that consumer spending has been restored in the local real estate market and real estate sales are expected to grow in the coming periods. On the other side, due to the negative impact from the COVID-19 pandemic and its ~~spread,~~variants, the development period of real estate properties and our operating cycle has been extended and we may not be able to liquidate our large balance of completed real estate properties within the short term as we originally expected. In addition, as of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we had large construction loans payable of approximately ~~$121.6~~$112.2 million and accounts payable of approximately ~~$12.6~~$11.0 million to be paid to subcontractors. Resurgence of COVID-19 and followed lock-down policies in some cities of PRC might cut the Company’s demand and revenue depending on length of lock-down. Starting on March 27, 2022, Shanghai city implements the lockdown policy, which did not have significant negative impact on the Company’s operation because the Company has no operation in Shanghai. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s future financial results will be dependent on future developments such as the length and severity of the crisis, the potential resurgence of the crisis, future government actions in response to the crisis and the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the local economy and real estate markets, among many other factors, all of which remain highly uncertain and unpredictable. Given this uncertainty, the Company is currently unable to quantify the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its future operations, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations if the current situation continues. The above-mentioned facts raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of this filing.

In assessing its liquidity, management monitors and analyzes the Company’s cash on-hand, its ability to generate sufficient revenue sources in the future, and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, our total cash and restricted cash balance was approximately ~~$13.6~~$3.3 million, ~~increased~~decreased from approximately ~~$3.5~~$4.4 million as of September 30, ~~2021.~~2022. With respect to capital funding requirements, the Company budgeted its capital spending based on ongoing assessments of its needs to maintain adequate cash. On January ~~14, 2022,~~27, 2023, the Company closed a private placement with net proceeds of approximately ~~$24.3 million. On March 16, 2022, the Company completed another private placement with gross proceeds of $4.6~~$0.1 million. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we had approximately ~~$85.8~~$76.9 million of completed residential apartments and commercial units available for sale to potential buyers. Although we reported approximately ~~$12.6~~$11.0 million accounts payable as of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, due to the long-term relationship with our construction suppliers and subcontractors, we were able to effectively manage cash spending on construction and negotiate with them to adjust the payment schedule based on our cash on hand. In addition, most of our existing real estate development projects relate to the old town renovation which are supported by the local government. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we reported approximately ~~$121.6~~$112.2 million of construction loans borrowed from financial institutions controlled by the local government and such loans can only be used on the old town renovation related project development. We expect that we will be able to renew all of the existing construction loans upon their maturity and borrow additional new loans from local financial institutions, when necessary, based on our past experience and the Company’s good credit history. Also, the Company’s cash flows from pre-sales and current sales should provide financial support for our current development projects and operations. For the three months ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we had 6six large ongoing construction projects (see Note 3, real estate properties under development) which were under the preliminary development stage due to delayed inspection and acceptance of the development plans by the local government. In June 2020, we completed the residence relocation surrounding the Liangzhou Road related projects and launched the construction of these projects in December 2020. For the other four projects, we expect we will be able to obtain the government’s approval of the development plans on these projects in the coming fiscal year and start the pre-sale of the real estate properties to generate cash when certain property development milestones have been achieved.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, China HGS Investment Inc. (“HGS Investment”), Shaanxi HGS Management and Consulting Co., Ltd. (“Shaanxi HGS”) and ~~its variable interest entity (“VIE”),~~the VIE, Shaanxi Guangsha Investment and Development Group Co., Ltd. (“Guangsha”). All inter-company transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries and the VIE have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the assumptions and estimates used by management in recognizing development revenue under the percentage of completion method, the selection of the useful lives of property and equipment, provision necessary for contingent liabilities, revenue recognition, taxes and budgeted costs. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” It 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~~1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level ~~2-Inputs~~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 than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level ~~3-Inputs~~3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions or what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for cash, restricted cash and all other current assets, security deposits for land use rights, loans and all current liabilities approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the customer, construction and security deposits approximate their carrying amounts because the deposits are received in cash. It was impractical to estimate the fair value of the amount due from the local government and the other payables.

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized in accordance with the transfer of goods and services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to for those goods and services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

Most of the Company’s revenue is derived from real estate sales of condominiums and commercial properties in the PRC. The majority of the Company’s contracts contain a single performance obligation involving significant real estate development activities that are performed together to deliver a real estate property to its customers. Revenues arising from real estate sales are recognized when or as the control of the asset is transferred to the customer. The control of the asset may transfer over time or at a point in time. For the sales of individual condominium units in a real estate development project, the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, revenue is recognized over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation (“percentage completion method”). Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the asset. For the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, the Company did not have any construction in progress recognized under the percentage of completion method.

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of billing and cash receipts from customers. The Company records a contract asset when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing, or a contract liability when cash is received in advance of recognizing revenue. A contract asset is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. Contract assets include billed and billable receivables, which are the Company’s unconditional rights to consideration other than the passage of time. Contract liabilities include cash collected in advance and in excess of revenue recognized. Customer deposits are excluded from contract liabilities.

The Company immediately expenses sales commissions (included under selling expenses) because sales commission are not expected to be recovered.

The Company provides “mortgage loan guarantees” only with respect to buyers who make down-payments of 20%-50% of the total purchase price of the property. The period of the mortgage loan guarantee begins on the date the bank approves the buyer’s mortgage and we receive the loan proceeds in our bank account and ends on the date the “Certificate of Ownership” evidencing that title to the property has been transferred to the buyer. The procedures to obtain the Certificate of Ownership take six to twelve months (the “Mortgage Loan Guarantee Period”). If, after investigation of the buyer’s income and other relevant factors, the bank decides not to grant the mortgage loan, our mortgage-loan based sales contract terminates and there will be no guarantee obligation. If, during the Mortgage Loan Guarantee Period, the buyer defaults on his or her monthly mortgage payment for 3three consecutive months, we are required to return the loan proceeds back to the bank, although we have the right to keep the customer’s deposit and resell the property to a third party. Once the Certificate of Ownership has been issued by the relevant government authority, our loan guarantee terminates. If the buyer then defaults on his or her mortgage loan, the bank has the right to take the property back and sell it and use the proceeds to pay off the loan. The Company is not liable for any shortfall that the bank may incur in this event. To date, no buyer has defaulted on his or her mortgage payments during the Mortgage Loan Guarantee Period and the Company has not returned any loan proceeds pursuant to its mortgage loan guarantees.

The Company’s financial information is presented in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s operating entity, the VIE, is Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of the PRC. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30 “Translation of Financial Statements”. The financial information is first prepared in RMB and then is translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenue, expenses and cash flows. 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 stockholders’ equity.

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

Real estate property consists of finished residential unit sites, commercial offices and residential unit sites under development. The Company leases the land for the residential unit sites under land use right leases with various terms from the PRC government. The cost of land use rights is included in the development cost and allocated to each project. Real estate property development completed and real estate property under development are stated at the lower of cost or fair value.

Expenditures 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 of the project (or phase of the project) multiplied by the total cost of the project (or phase of the project).

Real estate property development completed and under development are subject to valuation adjustments when the carrying amount exceeds fair value. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of the assets is not recoverable and exceeds its 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. The Company reviews all of its real estate projects for future losses and impairment by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows for each project to the carrying value of such project. For the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, the Company did not recognize any impairment loss for its real estate properties.

Interest incurred during and directly related to real estate development projects is capitalized to the related real estate property under development during the active development period, which generally commences when borrowings are used to acquire real estate assets and ends when the properties are substantially complete or the property becomes inactive. Interest is capitalized based on the interest rate applicable to specific borrowings or the weighted average of the rates applicable to other borrowings during the period. Interest capitalized to real estate properties under development is recorded as a component of the cost of real estate sales when related units are sold. All other interest is expensed as incurred. For the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the total interest capitalized for real estate property development was ~~$1,711,308~~$1,422,212 and ~~$3,444,532,~~$2,865,459, respectively.For the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the total interest capitalized in the real estate property development was ~~$1,705,550~~$1,711,308 and ~~$3,474,114,~~$3,444,532, respectively.

The Company reviews 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.

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 the 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 0no impairment of long-lived assets for the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021.~~2022.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” deferred tax assets and liabilities are 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. A valuation allowances is established, when necessary, to reduce net 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 positions 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, years open for tax examination, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures. There are no material uncertain tax positions as of March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

The Company is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Florida. However, all of the Company’s operations are conducted solely by its subsidiaries and the VIE in the PRC. No income is earned in the United States and the management does not repatriate any earnings outside the PRC. As a result, the Company did not generate any U.S. taxable income for the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021.~~2022. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Chinese entities’ income tax returns filed in China for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019, 2020, ~~2019, 2018, 2017~~2021 and ~~2016~~2022 are subject to examination by the Chinese taxing authorities.

The parent Company, Green Giant’s both U.S. federal tax returns and Florida state tax returns are delinquent since 2009. Its tax years ended September 30, 2009 through September 30, ~~2021~~2022 remain open for statutory examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a U.S. corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017. Due to the complexity involved in applying the provisions of the Tax Act, we made reasonable estimates of the effects and recorded accrued amounts in our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, including approximately $2.3 million provision on the deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings and an additional $1.3 million provision for delinquent U.S. and State tax fillings. The Company plans to engage a tax professional to file its delinquent tax returns in 2022. Failure to furnish any income tax and information returns with respect to any foreign business entity required, within the time prescribed by the IRS, subjects the Company to civil penalties.

In accordance with the relevant taxation laws in the PRC, the Company is subject to LAT based on progressive rates on the appreciation of land value, which is calculated as the proceeds of sales of properties less deductible expenditures including borrowing costs and all property development expenditures. LAT is exempted if the appreciation values do not exceed certain thresholds specified in the relevant tax laws.

The whole project must be completed before the LAT obligation can be assessed. Accordingly, the Company records the liability and the total related expense at the completion of a project unless the tax authorities impose an assessment at an earlier date. The methods to implement this tax law vary among different geographic areas. Hanzhong, where the projects Mingzhu Garden, Nan Dajie and Central Plaza are located, implements this tax rule by requiring real estate companies prepay the LAT based upon customer deposits received. The tax rate in Hanzhong is 1%. Yang County, where the Yangzhou Pearl Garden and Yangzhou Palace projects are located, has a tax rate of 0.5%.

In accordance with ASC 220-10-55, comprehensive income (loss) is defined as all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company’s only components of other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 were net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with the ASC 260, “Earnings per share”, which requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income (loss) 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.

As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, there were outstanding warrants to purchase approximately ~~30,741,366~~55,793,268 shares of the Company’s common stock (September 30, ~~2021-NaN)~~2022 – 46,464,929), which resulted in ~~21,381,014~~77,016,371 and ~~20,020,258~~75,726,347 dilutive shares for the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, respectively. There were 0no dilutive shares for the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and restricted cash were on deposit at financial institutions in the PRC, which the management believes are of high credit quality. In May, 2015, China’s new Deposit Insurance Regulation came into effect, pursuant to which banking financial institutions, such as commercial banks, established in China are required to purchase deposit insurance for deposits in RMB and in foreign currencies placed with them. Such Deposit Insurance Regulation would not be effective in providing complete protection for the Company’s accounts, as its aggregate deposits are much higher than the compensation limit of RMB500,000 (approximately $78,000). However, the Company believes that the risk of failure of any of these Chinese banks is remote. Bank failure is uncommon in China and the Company believes that the Chinese banks that hold the Company’s cash and restricted cash are financially sound based on public available information. The Company has not experienced any losses in its bank accounts.

For the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, the Company did not have any individual customer that accounted for more than 10% of the Company real estate sales revenue for the related periods.

In January 2022, the Company signed 2 energy equipment procurement framework agreements for 2 customized electronic generating systems from two 3rd party venders for the purpose of developing the Company’s power station management business with the estimated total consideration of approxiamtley $492 million. The Company made prepayments totaling $18.3 million asAs of March 31, ~~2022. The customized electornic systems are expect to be delivered in several phases with the first phase expected to be delivered during the period from December 2022 to March 2023.~~2023, prepayments were as follows:

In September 2013, the Company entered into an agreement (“Liangzhou Agreement”) with the Hanzhong local government on the Liangzhou Road reformation and expansion project (Liangzhou Road Project”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company is contracted to reform and expand the Liangzhou Road, a commercial street in downtown Hanzhong City, with a total length of 2,080 meters and a width of 30 meters and to resettle the existing residences in the Liangzhou road area. The government’s original road construction budget was approximately $33 million in accordance with the Liangzhou Agreement. The Company, in return, is being compensated by the local government to have an exclusive right on acquiring at least 394.5 Mu land use rights in a specified location of Hanzhong City. The Liangzhou Road Project’s road construction started at the end of 2013. In 2014, the original scope and budget on the Liangzhou road reformation and expansion project was extended, because the local government included more area and resettlement residences into the project, which resulted in additional investments from the Company. In return, the Company is authorized by the local government to develop and manage the commercial and residential properties surrounding the Liangzhou Road project. The Company launched the construction of the Liangzhou Road related projects in December 2020. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the main Liangzhou road construction is substantially completed.

The Company’s development cost incurred for the Liangzhou Road Project is treated as the Company’s deposit on purchasing the related land use rights, as agreed by the local government. As of March 31, ~~2022~~,2023, the actual costs incurred by the Company were approximately ~~$191.5~~ $181.3 million (~~September~~(September 30, ~~2021~~2022 - ~~$180.4~~ $173.3 million) and the incremental cost related to residence resettlements approved by the local government. The Company determined that the Company’s investment in the Liangzhou Road Project in exchange for interests in future land use rights is a barter transaction with commercial substance.

(b)

In September 2012, the Company was approved by the Hanzhong local government to construct four municipal roads with a total length of approximately 1,192 meters. The project was deferred and then restarted during the quarter ended June 30, 2014. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the local government has not completed the budget for these projects therefore the delivery for these projects for the government’s acceptance and related settlement were extended to ~~December 2022.~~March 2023.

(c)

The Company was engaged by the Yang County local government to construct the East 2nd Ring Road with a total length of 2.15 km. The local government is required to repay the Company’s project investment costs within 3 years with interest at the interest rate based on the commercial borrowing rate with the similar term published by the China Construction Bank (March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 – 4.75%). The local government has approved a refund to the Company by reducing local surcharges or taxes otherwise required in the real estate development. The road construction was substantially completed as of March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and is in process of the government’s review and approval.

On June 26, 2015 and March 10, 2016, the Company signed phase I and Phase II agreements with Hanzhong Urban Construction Investment Development Co., Ltd, a state-owned Company, to borrow up to approximately ~~$121.6~~$112.8 million (RMB775,000,000) for a ~~long term~~long-term loan with interest at 4.75% to develop the Liangzhou Road Project. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company borrowed approximately ~~$102.9~~$95.0 million under this credit line (September 30, ~~2021~~ 2022 - ~~$101.2~~$91.7 million). Due to the local government’s delay in the relocation of residences in the Liangzhou Road Project and related area, the Hanzhong Urban Construction Investment Development Co., Ltd has not released all the funds available to the Company and additional withdrawals will be based on the project’s development progress. The loan is guaranteed by Hanzhong City Hantai District Municipal Government and pledged by the Company’s Yang County Yangzhou Palace project with a carrying value of ~~$40,703,430~~$35,340,422 as of March 31, ~~2022~~2023 (September 30, ~~2021- $42,995,377~~)2022- $34,635,104).

(B)

In December 2016, the Company signed a loan agreement with Hantai District Urban Construction Investment Development Co., Ltd, a state-owned Company, to borrow up to approximately ~~$18.7~~$17.3 million (RMB119,000,000) for the development of the Hanzhong City Liangzhou Road Project. The interest is 1.2% and due on June 20, 2031. The Company is required to repay the loan in equal annual principal repayments of approximately $3.3 million commencing from December 2027 through June 2031 with interest payable on an annual basis. The Company pledged the assets of the Liangzhou Road related projects with a carrying value of approximately ~~$191.5~~$181.3 million as collateral for the loan. Total interest of ~~$56,612~~$52,175 and ~~$113,256~~$102,918 for the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 was capitalized into the development cost of the Hanzhong City Liangzhou Road Project (March 31, ~~2021- $54,262~~2022 - $56,612 and ~~$109,583)~~$113,256), respectively.

Additionally, in September 2017, the Urban Development Center Co., Ltd. approved a construction loan for the Company in the amount of approximately ~~$27.5~~$25.5 million (RMB175,000,000) with an annual interest rate of 1.2% per year in connection with the Liangzhou Road and related Project. The Company is required to repay the loan in equal annual principal repayment of approximately $5 million commencing from December 2027 through May 2031 with the interest payable on an annual basis. The amount of this loan is available to be drawn down as soon as the land use rights of the Liangzhou Road Project are approved and the construction starts, which is expected to be completed before the end of ~~2022.~~2023. Interest charges ~~For~~for the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 were ~~$$83,255~~$76,729 and ~~$166,554~~$151,350 (March 31, ~~2021- $79,798~~2022 - $83,255 and ~~$161,152)~~$166,554), which was included in the construction capitalized costs.

Customer deposits consist of amounts received from customers for the pre-sale of residential units in the PRC. The detail of customer deposits is as follows:

Customer deposits are typically 10% - 20% of the unit selling price for those customers who purchase properties in cash and 30%~~-50%~~ - 50% of the unit selling price for those customers who purchase properties with mortgages.

The Company is subject to a 5% VAT for its existing real estate projects based on the local tax authority’s practice. As of March 31,~~, 2022,~~ 2023, the Company had business VAT tax payable of ~~$5,237,337~~$4,021,992 (September 30, ~~2021~~2022 - ~~$5,660,149)~~$4,144,254), which is expected to be paid when the projects are completed and assessed by the local tax authority.

The Company’s PRC subsidiary and VIE are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China for privately run enterprises, which are generally subject to income tax on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. The Company’s CIT rate is 25% on taxable income. Although the possibility exists for reinterpretation of the application of the tax regulations by higher tax authorities in the PRC, potentially overturning the decision made by the local tax authority, the Company has not experienced any reevaluation of the income taxes for prior years. The PRC tax rules are different from the local tax rules and the Company is required to comply with local tax rules. The difference between the two tax rules will not be a liability of the Company. There will be no further tax payments for the difference. As of March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company’s total income tax payable amounted to ~~$14,988,886~~$13,593,838 and ~~$14,326,646,~~$13,279,845, respectively, which included the income tax payable balances in the PRC of ~~$11,423,886~~$10,028,839 and ~~$10,761,646,~~$9,714,844, respectively, and the Company expects to pay this income tax payable balance when the related real estate projects are completely sold.

Recent U.S. federal tax legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “U.S. Tax Reform”), was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The U.S. Tax Reform significantly modified the U.S. Internal Revenue Code by, among other things, reducing the statutory U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017; limiting and/or eliminating many business deductions; migrating the U.S. to a territorial tax system with a one-time transition tax on a mandatory deemed repatriation of previously deferred foreign earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries; subject to certain limitations, generally eliminating U.S. corporate income tax on dividends from foreign subsidiaries; and providing for new taxes on certain foreign earnings. Taxpayers may elect to pay the one-time transition tax over eight years or in a single lump sum. The U.S. Tax Reform also includes provisions for a new tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) effective for tax years of foreign corporations beginning after December 31, 2017. The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”), subject to the possible use of foreign tax credits and a deduction equal to 50 percent to offset the income tax liability, subject to some limitations. As of March 31,~~, 2022~~ 2023 and September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company assessed that the related GILTI tax payable was ~~Nil,~~nil, which is subject to the reassessment upon the Company’s filling of GILTI information.

For the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized a one-time transition toll tax of approximately $2.3 million that represented management’s estimate of the amount of U.S. corporate income tax based on the deemed repatriation to the United States of the Company’s share of previously deferred earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries and the VIE of the Company mandated by the U.S. Tax Reform. The Company’s estimate of the onetime transition toll tax is subject to the finalization of management’s analysis related to certain matters, such as developing interpretations of the provisions of the Tax Act and amounts related to the earnings and profits of certain foreign VIEs and the filing of our tax returns. U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions interpreting the Tax Act may require further adjustments and changes in our estimates. AsThe Company had a toll tax liability of $2.3 million in fiscal 2017 to reflect the max exposure on the toll tax effect. However, the Company has no U.S. operations and no U.S financing in the past, therefore, the Company does not believe it needs to pay such tax and no additional provision was accrued even since then, hence the balance remains $2.3 million as of March 31,~~, 2022~~ 2023 and September 30, ~~2021, the Company provided $1.3 million provision due to delinquent U.S. tax return fillings.~~2022, respectively.

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 Hanzhong 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 0.5% in Yang County and 1.0% in Hanzhong against total cash receipts from sales of real estate properties, rather than according to the progressive rates.

As at of March 31,~~, 2022~~ 2023 and September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the outstanding LAT payable balance was ~~NaN~~nil with respect to completed real estate properties sold up to ~~December~~March 31,~~,2021~~ 2023 and September 30, ~~2021, respectively~~.2022, respectively.

On March 30, 2022, the transaction contemplated by the SPA closed.

In connection with the private ~~palcment~~placement of 10,247,122 units that closed on January 14, 2022, the Company issued warrants to purchase 30,741,366 shares of common stock at $2.375 per share. These warrants are not exercisable until six months from the date of issuance and required the reservation of common shares for their issuance. With the sales these units and other sales of common stock, the Company does not have the necessary authorized shares should these warrants be converted and was not able to reserve the common stock underlying these warrants. The ~~Companby~~Company is planning to increase their authorized shares prior to the warrants becoming exercisable. If the Company has not increased the authorized shares sufficiently, these warrants will be reflected at their fair value as a liability which could be material.

On September 25, 2012, our shareholders approved the Company’s 2012 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”). The 2012 Plan provides for the grant of awards which are distribution equivalent rights, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, performance shares, performance units, restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), tandem stock appreciation rights, unrestricted shares of common stock or any combination of the foregoing, to key management employees and nonemployee directors of, and nonemployee consultants of, the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each a “participant”). We have reserved a total of 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2012 Plan. The number of shares of common stock for which awards which are options or SARs may be granted to a participant under the 2012 Plan during any calendar year is limited to 500,000.

The Company awards common stocks to a director and three consultants pursuant to the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, which was registered on the Form S-8. Compensation cost related to such awards is measured based on the fair value of the instrument on the grant date. These common stocks are vested immediately after granted.

On August 10, 2022, Board of directors of the Company issued an aggregate of 5,990,000 registered common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock’), from the Company’s current registration statement on Form S-8 (Form S-8), to the Consultants or their designees namely, Aizhen Wei, Jun Liao and Youbing Li on the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreements, immediately vested upon grant. We record stock-based compensation expense for non-employees at fair value on the grant date as the consideration for service received. On August 10, 2022 the grant date, the Company’s share price closed at $3.23 per share, hence total share-based compensation is equal to $19,347,700;

On September 6, 2022, the Company awarded Jian Zhang, one of the independent directors of the Board, of 10,000 common shares as annual compensation for his role with the Board immediately vested upon the grant date.

Total share-based compensation amounts to $19,370,400 for three individuals plus the independent director.

On January 27, 2023, the company granted 40,000 shares of GGE’s restricted stock to FTGC or its designee for the termination of the Exclusion Placement Agent Agreement.

From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues costs related to these matters when they become probable and as a result the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In determining whether a loss from a claim is probable, and if it is possible to estimate the loss, the Company reviews and evaluates its litigation and regulatory matters on at least a quarterly basis in light of potentially relevant factual and legal developments. If the Company determines a favorable outcome is probable, or that the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company does not accrue costs for a potential litigation loss.

As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the ~~Company’s~~ VIE, Guangsha, was subject to several civil disputes with a supplier (the “General Contractor”), a general contractor of the Company’s certain real estate projects. The total claim by the supplier is approximately ~~$9.4~~$10.4 million, for which the Company estimated that it is more than likely to pay approximately ~~$3.4~~$10.4 million which was included in the accounts payable and other payables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The General Contractor and the Company are in the process of negotiating a settlement. The Company believes it can reach a settlement with a favorable outcome.

In addition, ~~a certain subcontractor filed a lawsuit~~there are 139 cases against the ~~general contractor with a~~Company, the total ~~claim~~claims of year to day amounts to $6.7 million according to the judgement outcome from local courts as of April 4, 2023, of which approximately $5.9 million was accrued for the month ended December 31, 2022. The difference of ~~$3.4 million. The Company~~$0.8 million was ~~added as a joint defendant in~~accrued for the ~~lawsuits. The Company was not involved in the transactions between the General Contractor and the related subcontractor.~~current reporting month ended March 31, 2023. The Company disputes the allegations in the lawsuit and intends to vigorously defend itself in the action. ~~The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, were there to be an adverse final decision.~~

As an 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 buyer obtains the “Certificate of Ownership” of the properties from the government, which generally takes six to twelve months. Because the banks provide loan proceeds without getting the “Certificate of Ownership” as loan collateral during the six-to-twelve-month period, the mortgage banks require the Company to maintain as restricted cash, at least 5% 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. If the delinquent mortgage payments exceed the security deposit, the banks may require us to pay the excess amount. If multiple purchasers’ default on their payment obligations at around the same time, we will be required to make significant payments to the banks to satisfy our guarantee obligations. If we are unable to resell the properties underlying defaulted mortgages on a timely basis or at prices higher than the amounts of our guarantees and related expenses, we will suffer financial losses. The Company has the required reserves in its restricted cash account to cover any potential mortgage defaults as required by the mortgage lenders. Since inception through the release of this report, the Company has not experienced any delinquent mortgage loans and has not experienced any losses related to these guarantees. As of March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our outstanding guarantees in respect of our customers’ mortgage loans amounted to approximately ~~$66~~$25.7 million. As of March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the amount of restricted cash reserved for these guarantees was approximately ~~$3.3~~$3.0 million and the Company believes that such reserves are sufficient.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. No other matters were identified affecting the accompanying financial statements or related disclosures.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash balance of $3.3 million. In addition to the cash balance, the Company has restricted cash of $3.0 million, contract assets of $7.6 million, security deposits of $1.8 million and due from local governments for real estate property development completed of $43.9 million. The balances of these assets are expected to be repaid on maturity dates and will also be used for working capital for daily operation in the twelve months to come.

The management will enable to meet the operating expenses obligation for the next twelve months from self-generated positive cashflow and external fund raising by private equity financing or direct public offering. S-3 was approved on May 2, 2023 by SEC, and the Company is ready to raise fund through direct public offering to support cash shortfall if any.

On November 14, 2022, the company announced to transform itself into the new energy business. The Company secured a purchase contract with AGR in March 2023 and delivered battery recycle product to a vendor on April 16, 2023, the Company believes it will generate more revenue from its new business.

Going forward there are no conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the financial statement issuance date,

The Company currently operates in two segments, the real estate development business and green energy business. The Company engages in real estate development through the VIE, Guangsha, in mainland China, and is transitioning itself from its real estate development business to a new energy corporation and has appointed a CEO in its Delaware subsidiary to lead and operate the green energy business.

The Company engages in real estate development, primarily in the construction and sale of residential apartments, car parks and commercial properties in mainland China through Guangsha. Guangsha was founded by Mr. Xiaojun Zhu, and commenced operations in 1995 in Hanzhong, a prefecture-level city in Shaanxi Province.

Currently, we conduct ~~substantially all of~~ our real estate development business through ~~Shaanxi Guangsha Investment and Development Group Co., Ltd,~~the VIE, in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province.

For the six months ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, our sales and gross profit were ~~$7.1~~$0.7 million and ~~$3.4 million,~~$0.1million, respectively, representing an approximate ~~65.9%~~90.8% and ~~26.4%~~96.5% decrease in sales and gross profit as compared to six months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively. The decrease in sales and gross profit was mainly the result of less gross floor area (“GFA ”)“) sold during the first half of fiscal ~~2022.~~2023.

For the six months ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the average selling price (“ASP”) for our real estate projects located in Yang County was approximately ~~$518~~$633 per square meter, ~~decreased~~increased from the ASP of ~~$671~~$518 per square meter for the six months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, which was mainly ~~due~~attributable to the ~~fact that we lowered our selling prices~~following:

The Company intends to remain focused on our existing construction projects in Hanzhong City and Yang County, deepening our institutional sales network, enhancing our cost and operational synergies and improving cash flows and strengthening our balance sheet.

The Company started the construction of the Liangzhou Road related projects after the approval by the local government of the road. These projects comprise residential ~~units~~ for end-users and upgraders, shopping malls as well as serviced apartments and offices to satisfy different market demands.

~~In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced. COVID-19 has spread rapidly to many parts of the PRC~~

Critical Accounting Policies and other parts of the world in the first quarter of 2020, which has caused significant volatility in the PRC and international markets. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the PRC and international economies. The Company had real estate sales of approximately $7.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022, decreased from $21.0 million in the same period of last year. Resurgence of COVID-19 and followed lock-down policies in some cities of PRC might cut the Company’s demand and revenue depending on length of lock-down. Starting on March 27, 2022, Shanghai city implements the lockdown policy, which did not have significant negative impact on the Company’s operation because the Company has no operation in Shanghai. The extent of the impact on the Company’s future financial results will be dependent on future developments such as the length and severity of the crisis, the potential resurgence of the pandemic, future government actions in response to the pandemic and the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the local economy and real estate markets, among many other factors, all of which remain highly uncertain and unpredictable. Given this uncertainty, the Company is currently unable to quantify the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its future operations, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations if the current situation continues.Estimates

~~CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES~~

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with ~~accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.~~U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis and base them on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances as the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates because of different and changing assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. These policies should be read in conjunction with Note 2 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contract balances
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of billing and cash receipts from customers. The Company records a contract asset when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing, or a contract liability when cash is received in advance of recognizing revenue. A contract asset is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. Contract assets include billed and billable receivables, which are the Company’s unconditional rights to consideration other than the passage of time. Contract liabilities include cash collected in advance and in excess of revenue recognized. Customer deposits are excluded from contract liabilities.
The Company immediately expenses sales commissions (included under selling expenses) because sales commission are not expected to be recovered.
The Company provides “mortgage loan guarantees” only with respect to buyers who make down-payments of 20%-50% of the total purchase price of the property. The period of the mortgage loan guarantee begins on the date the bank approves the buyer’s mortgage and we receive the loan proceeds in our bank account and ends on the date the “Certificate of Ownership” evidencing that title to the property has been transferred to the buyer. The procedures to obtain the Certificate of Ownership take six to twelve months (the “Mortgage Loan Guarantee Period”). If, after investigation of the buyer’s income and other relevant factors, the bank decides not to grant the mortgage loan, our mortgage-loan based sales contract terminates and there will be no guarantee obligation. If, during the Mortgage Loan Guarantee Period, the buyer defaults on his or her monthly mortgage payment for three consecutive months, we are required to return the loan proceeds back to the bank, although we have the right to keep the customer’s deposit and resell the property to a third party. Once the Certificate of Ownership has been issued by the relevant government authority, our loan guarantee terminates. If the buyer then defaults on his or her mortgage loan, the bank has the right to take the property back and sell it and use the proceeds to pay off the loan. The Company is not liable for any shortfall that the bank may incur in this event. To date, no buyer has defaulted on his or her mortgage payments during the Mortgage Loan Guarantee Period and the Company has not returned any loan proceeds pursuant to its mortgage loan guarantees.

Use of estimates

Real estate property development completed and under development

Cost of amenities transferred to buyers is allocated to specific units as a component of total construction cost. The amenity cost includes landscaping, road paving, etc. Once the projects are completed, the amenities are under control of the property management companies. Real estate property development completed and under development are subject to valuation adjustments when the carrying amount exceeds fair value. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of the assets is not recoverable and exceeds its 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. The Company reviews all of its real estate projects for future losses and impairment by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows for each project to the carrying value of such project. For the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, the Company did not recognize any impairment loss for its real estate properties.

Our cost of sales consists primarily of costs associated with land use rights and construction costs, including capitalized interest. Cost of sales are capitalized and allocated to development projects using a 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 of the project or phase of the project times the total cost of the project or phase of the project.
Cost of sales was approximately ~~$2.3~~$0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 compared to ~~$14.5~~$2.3 million for the same period of last year. The ~~$12.2~~$1.9 million decrease in cost of sales was mainly attributable to less GFA sold during the three months ended March 31, ~~2022 which led to increased cost of sales.~~2023.
Land use rights cost: The cost of land use rights includes the land premium we pay to acquire land use rights for our property development sites, plus taxes. Our land use rights cost varies 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. Costs for land use rights for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $0.05 million and $0.2 million, as compared to approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of approximately $1.1 million from the same quarter last year. The decrease was consistent with the fact that total GFA sold in this quarter significantly decreased from the same period of last year.respectively.

Construction cost: We outsource the construction of all of our projects to third party contractors, whom we select through a competitive tender process. Our construction contracts provide a fixed payment which covers substantially all labor, materials and equipment costs, subject to adjustments for some types of excess, such as design changes during construction or changes in government-suggested steel prices. Our construction costs consist primarily of the payments to our third-party contractors, which are paid over the construction period based on specified milestones. In addition, we purchase and supply a limited range of fittings and equipment, including elevators,

Income Taxes

PRC Taxes

The Company’s PRC subsidiary and VIE are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China concerning the privately run enterprises, which are generally subject to income tax on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. The Company’s CIT rate is 25% on taxable income. Although the possibility exists for reinterpretation of the application of the tax regulations by higher tax authorities in the PRC, potentially overturning the decision made by the local tax authority, the Company has not experienced any reevaluation of the income taxes for prior years. The PRC tax rules are different from the local tax rules and the Company is required to comply with local tax rules. The difference between the two tax rules will not be a liability of the Company. There will be no further tax payments for the difference. For the three months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, the Company’s effective income tax rate was ~~31.3%~~0% and ~~25.0%~~31.3%. The increase in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 was due to nondeductible expenses including professional fees, and penalties and interest expense related to our U.S. delinquent tax filings.

Net income

We reported net income of approximately ~~$0.7~~$1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, as compared to net income of approximately ~~$2.2~~$0.7 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The decrease of approximately ~~$1.5~~$0.6 million in our net income was primarily due to less revenue for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 as discussed above under Revenues and Gross Profit.

Our cost of sales consists primarily of costs associated with land use rights and construction costs, including capitalized interest. Cost of sales are capitalized and allocated to development projects using a 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 of the project or phase of the project times the total cost of the project or phase of the project.
Cost of sales was approximately ~~$3.8~~$0.5 million for the six months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 compared to ~~$16.3~~$3.8 million for the same period of last year. The ~~$12.6~~$3.2 million decrease in cost of sales was mainly attributable to less GFA sold during the six months ended March 31, ~~2022 which led to less cost of sales.~~2023.
Land use rights cost: The cost of land use rights includes the land premium we pay to acquire land use rights for our property development sites, plus taxes. Our land use rights cost varies 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. Costs for land use rights for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $0.05 million and $0.4 million, as compared to approximately $1.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of approximately $1.2 million from the same period of last year. The decrease was consistent with the fact that total GFA sold in the first six months 2022 was significantly lower from the same period of last year.respectively.
Construction cost: We outsource the construction of all of our projects to third party contractors, whom we select through a competitive tender process. Our construction contracts provide a fixed payment which covers substantially all labor, materials and equipment costs, subject to adjustments for some types of excess, such as design changes during construction or changes in government-suggested steel prices. Our construction costs consist primarily of the payments to our third-party contractors, which are paid over the construction period based on specified milestones. In addition, we purchase and supply a limited range of fittings and equipment, including elevators, window frames and door frames. Our construction costs for the six months ending March 31, ~~2022~~2023 were approximately ~~$3.4~~$0.5 million as compared to approximately ~~$14.8~~$3.4 million for the same period of last year, representing a decrease of approximately ~~$11.4~~$2.9 million. The decrease in construction cost was due to less real estate property units sold during the first half of fiscal ~~2022.~~2023.
Gross Profit
Gross profit ~~was~~and gross margin were approximately ~~$3.4~~$0.12 million and 18.2 % respectively for the six months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 as compared to approximately ~~$4.6~~$3.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of $1.2 million, which was mainly attributable to more GFA sold during the first half of fiscal 2021. On the other side, since most of real estate property units sold in Hanzhong city during the first half of fiscal 2022 were commercial units with higher gross margins, our gross margin increased to 46.4%, compared to 21.7%and 47.2% respectively in the same period of ~~fiscal 2021. For~~last year due to the ~~six months ended March 31, 2021,~~economic downturn caused by the ~~ASP for our real estate projects (excluding sales of parking spaces) located~~epidemic control in ~~Hanzhong city was approximately $919 to $1,397 per square meter for our commercial units, significantly increased from the ASP of $618 per square meter for the six months ended March 31, 2021.~~China and aforementioned.

Income Taxes
PRC Taxes
Our Company is governed by the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China concerning private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. For the six months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, the Company is subject to income tax rate of 25% on taxable income. Although the possibility exists for reinterpretation of the application of the tax regulations by higher tax authorities in the PRC, potentially overturning the decision made by the local tax authority, the Company has not experienced any reevaluation of the income taxes for prior years. The PRC tax rules are different from the local tax rules and the Company is required to comply with local tax rules. The difference between the two tax rules will not be a liability of the Company. There will be no further tax payments for the difference.
Net Income
We reported net income of approximately ~~$1.1~~negative $1.9 million for the six months ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, as compared to net income of approximately ~~$2.5 million~~$1.1million for the six months ended March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The decrease of ~~$1.4~~$3.0 million in our net income was primarily due to less revenue reported for the first half of fiscal ~~2022~~2023 as discussed above under Revenues and Gross ~~Profit~~Profit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal need for liquidity and capital resources is to maintain working capital sufficient to support our operations and to make capital expenditures to finance the growth of our business. Historically we mainly financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations and borrowings from our principal shareholder.

In recent years, the Chinese government has implemented measures to control overheating residential and commercial property prices including but not limited to restrictions on home purchase, increasing the down-payment requirement against speculative buying, development of low-cost rental housing properties to help low-income groups while reducing the demand in the commercial housing market, increasing real estate property taxes to discourage speculation, control of the land supply and slowdown the construction land auction process, etc. In addition, in December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced. COVID-19 has spread rapidly throughout China and worldwide, which has caused significant volatility in the PRC and international markets. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the PRC and international economies. To reduce the spread of COVID-19, the Chinese government has employed measures including city lockdowns, quarantines, travel restrictions, suspension of business activities and school closures. Due to difficulties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including, but not limited to, the temporary closure of the Company’s facilities and operations beginning in early February through early March 2020, limited support from the Company’s employees, delayed access to construction raw material supplies, reduced customer visits to the Company’s sales office, and inability to promote real estate property sales to customers on a timely basis, The Company had real estate sales of approximately ~~$7.2~~$0.7 million for the six months ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, decreased from ~~$21.0~~$7.2 million in the same period of last year. ~~Due~~Based on the assessment of the current economic environment, customer demand and sales trends, we believe that consumer spending has been restored in the local real estate market and real estate sales are expected to grow in the coming periods. On the other side, due to the negative impact from the COVID-19 pandemic and its ~~spread,~~variants, the development period of real estate properties and our operating cycle has been extended and we may not be able to liquidate our large balance of completed real estate properties within the short term as we originally expected. In addition, as of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we had large construction loans payable of approximately ~~$121.6~~$112.2 million and accounts payable of approximately ~~$12.6~~$11.0 million to be paid to subcontractors. Resurgence of COVID-19 and followed lock-down policies in some cities of PRC might cut the Company’s demand and revenue depending on length of lock-down. Starting on March 27, 2022, Shanghai city implements the lockdown policy, which did not have significant negative impact on the Company’s operation because the Company has no operation in Shanghai. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s future financial results will be dependent on future developments such as the length and severity of the crisis, the potential resurgence of the crisis, future government actions in response to the crisis and the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the local economy and real estate markets, among many other factors, all of which remain highly uncertain and unpredictable. Given this uncertainty, the Company is currently unable to quantify the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its future operations, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations if the current situation continues. The above-mentioned facts raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of this filing.

In assessing its liquidity, management monitors and analyzes the Company’s cash on-hand, its ability to generate sufficient revenue sources in the future, and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, our total cash and restricted cash balance was approximately ~~$13.6~~$3.3 million, increased from approximately ~~$3.5~~$4.4 million as of September 30, ~~2021.~~2022. With respect to capital funding requirements, the Company budgeted its capital spending based on ongoing assessments of needs to maintain adequate cash. On January 14, 2022, the Company closed a private placement with net proceeds of approximately $24.3 million. On March 16, 2022, the Company completed another private placement with gross proceeds of $4.6 million. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we had approximately ~~$85.8 million~~$76.9million of completed residential apartments and commercial units available for sale to potential buyers. Although we reported approximately ~~$12.6~~$11.0 million accounts payable as of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, due to the long-term relationship with our construction suppliers and subcontractors, we were able to effectively manage cash spending on construction and negotiate with them to adjust the payment schedule based on our cash on hand. In addition, most of our existing real estate development projects relate to the old town renovation which are supported by the local government. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we reported approximately ~~$121.6~~$112.2 million of construction loans borrowed from financial institutions controlled by the local government and such loans can only be used on the old town renovation related project development. We expect that we will be able to renew all of the existing construction loans upon their maturity and borrow additional new loans from local financial institutions, when necessary, based on our past experience and the Company’s good credit history. Also, the Company’s cash flows from pre-sales and current sales should provide financial support for our current development projects and operations. For the three months ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we had six large ongoing construction projects (see Note 3, real estate properties under development) which were under the preliminary development stage due to delayed inspection and acceptance of the development plans by the local government. For the other four projects, we expect we will be able to obtain the government’s approval of the development plans on these projects in the coming fiscal year and start the pre-sale of the real estate properties to generate cash when certain property development milestones have been achieved.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet ~~arrangements.~~arrangements as of the date of this quarterly report on the Form 10-Q.

As an 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 buyer obtains the “Certificate of Ownership” of the properties from the government, which generally takes six to twelve months. Because the banks provide loan proceeds without getting the “Certificate of Ownership” as loan collateral during the six-to-twelve-month period, the mortgage banks require the Company to maintain, as restricted cash of at least 5% 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. If the delinquent mortgage payments exceed the security deposit, the banks may require us to pay the excess amount. If multiple purchasers’ default on their payment obligations at around the same time, we will be required to make significant payments to the banks to satisfy our guarantee obligations. If we are unable to resell the properties underlying defaulted mortgages on a timely basis or at prices higher than the amounts of our guarantees and related expenses, we will suffer financial losses. The Company has the required reserves in its restricted cash account to cover any potential mortgage defaults as required by the mortgage lenders. Since inception through the release of this report, the Company has not experienced any delinquent mortgage loans and has not experienced any losses related to these guarantees. As of March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our outstanding guarantees in respect of our customers’ mortgage loans amounted to approximately ~~$66~~$25.7 million. As of March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the amount of restricted cash reserved for these guarantees was approximately ~~$3.3~~$3.0 million and the Company believes that such reserves are sufficient.

Inflation

Inflation has not had a material impact on our real estate business in China and we do not expect inflation to have a material impact on our business in the near future.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Inflation

Inflationary factors, such as increases in the cost of our products and overhead costs, could impair our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales revenue if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.

We Conduct Substantially All Our Business in Foreign Country

Substantially all of our operations are conducted in China and are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent in conducting business in China. Among other risks, our Company and our subsidiaries’ operations are subject to the risks of restrictions on transfer of funds; export duties, quotas, and embargoes; domestic and international customs and tariffs; changing taxation policies; foreign exchange restrictions; and political conditions and governmental regulations.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of our processes and the effect on the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In the course of this evaluation, we sought to identify any material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and to confirm that any necessary corrective action, including process improvements, was taken. The purpose of this evaluation is to determine if, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively such that the information, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, ~~2022.~~2023. Management is committed to improving the internal controls over financial reporting and will undertake the consistent improvements or enhancements on an ongoing basis. To remediate the material weakness and significant deficiencies and to prevent similar deficiencies in the future, we are currently evaluating additional controls and procedures, which may include:

The remedial measures being undertaken may not be fully effectuated or may be insufficient to address the significant deficiencies we identified, and there can be no assurance that significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified or occur in the future. If additional significant deficiencies (or if material weaknesses) in our internal controls are discovered or occur in the future, among other similar or related effects: (i) the Company may fail to meet future reporting obligations on a timely basis, (ii) the Company’s consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements, and (iii) the Company’s business and operating results may be harmed.

Except for the matters described above to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, however, the Company is in the process of designing and planning to change as described above.

We may be subject to, from time to time, various legal proceedings relating to claims arising out of our operations in the ordinary course of our business. We

As of March 31, 2023, the VIE, Guangsha, was subject to several civil disputes with a supplier (the “General Contractor”), a general contractor of the Company’s certain real estate projects. The total claim by the supplier is approximately $10.4 million, for which the Company estimated that it is more than likely to pay approximately $10.4 million which was included in the accounts payable and other payables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The General Contractor and the Company are in the process of negotiating a settlement. The Company believes it can reach a settlement with a favorable outcome.

In addition, there are 139 cases against the Company, the total claims of year to day amounts to $6.7 million according to the judgement outcome from local courts as of April 4, 2023, of which approximately $5.9 million was accrued for the month ended December 31, 2022. The difference of $0.8 million was accrued for the current reporting months ended March 31, 2023. The Company disputes the allegations in the lawsuit and intends to vigorously defend itself in the action.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not ~~currently a party~~required to ~~any legal proceedings,~~provide the ~~adverse outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company.~~information required by this item.
