1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Promotora Valle Hermoso, Inc. and Subsidiary (“Promotora Valle Hermoso” or the “Company”) operates its business through its majority-owned subsidiary, 494 UNR Open Joint Stock, Inc. (“494 UNR”). 494 UNR, a Russian Federation corporation, is a construction company operating in the Russian Federation and specializing in infrastructure build and supply services, including the construction of roads, highways and bridges, design/build apartment and office buildings, parks, warehouses, shipping centers and retail facilities, such as commercial housing projects and light industrial projects for governments, developers, businesses and end users. 494 UNR also performs activities such as demolition, clearing, large-scale earthwork and grading, dewatering, drainage improvements and structural concrete.
494 UNR operates primarily in the Moscow regions of the Russian Federation and has completed projects in a number of other cities or urban areas. All revenue is earned within the Russian Federation.
Basis of Presentation
Effective March 24, 2008, Promotora Valle Hermoso entered into an Acquisition Agreement with the stockholders of 494 UNR, providing for the acquisition by the Company of 66.83% of the outstanding shares of common and preferred stock of 494 UNR. In connection with the agreement, as of August 5, 2008, the Company issued 20,500,000 of its common stock to Alexei Ivanovich Kim (the “Controlling Shareholder”). Based on the number of outstanding voting securities as of August 5, 2008, the Controlling Shareholder owns beneficially 83.79% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. In connection with the share exchange, the Company acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of 494 UNR as the acquirer. The financial statements prior to August 5, 2008, reflect the assets and liabilities of 494 UNR at historical earning amounts.
The share exchange was accounted for as a recapitalization. The financial statements show a retroactive restatement of the Company’s historical stockholders’ equity to reflect the equivalent number of shares of common stock issued in the acquisition.
Effective August 5, 2008, the Company’s officers and directors resigned and new officers and a new Board of Directors were appointed, as well as the sale of the Company’s existing business to former management.
The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008, and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented herein have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 should not be viewed as indicative of the Company’s annual results or the Company’s results for any other period. The information for the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 was derived from audited financial statements.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Where the Company’s ownership is less than 100 percent, the minority ownership interests are reported in the consolidated balance sheet as a liability. The minority ownership interest of the Company’s earnings is classified as “Minority interest shares of earnings of consolidated subsidiary” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has adopted the revenue recognition method for completed work, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 66, "Account for Sales of Real Estate ("SFAS 66"), over which the revenue and costs will be recorded at the time of the completion of home construction and delivery to the buyer. The cash received on the home is recorded as customer advances until the revenue is recognized. Cash advances at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 against future revenue was $45,058,859 and $53,099,782, respectively and is included in customer advances on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Revenue from the sale of materials for road coverage is recognized when the work is completed and accepted by the purchaser.
Land, land development and the other common costs, both incurred and estimated to be incurred in the future, are amortized to the cost of homes closed based upon the total number of homes to be constructed in each project. Any changes resulting from a change in the estimated number of homes to be constructed or in the estimated costs subsequent to the commencement of delivery of homes in the project are allocated to the remaining undelivered homes. Home construction and related costs are charged to the cost of homes covered under the specific identifiable method.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposited in checking accounts, overnight repurchase agreements and money market funds with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased. The cash balances are held at a few institutions and may, at times, exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by depositing cash in major financial institutions.
Receivables
Receivables are recorded when invoices are issued and are presented in the balance sheet net of allowance for doubtful accounts. Receivables are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on the Company’s historical losses, the existing economic conditions in the construction industry, and the financial ability of its customers. The Company believes no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary at September 30, 2008 or December 31, 2007.
Inventories
Inventories and long-lived assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less direct costs to sell. Fair value is defined as the amount at which an asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Construction costs are accumulated during the period of construction and charged to cost of sales under specific identification methods. Land, land development and common facility costs are allocated based on buildible acres to product types within each project, then charged to cost of sales equally based upon the number of homes to be constructed in each product type. For inventories of projects under development, a loss is recorded when events and circumstances indicate impairment and the undiscounted future cash flows generated are less than the related carrying amounts. The impairment loss is the difference between the book value of the individual project, and the discounted future cash flows generated from expected revenue of the individual project, less the associated cost to complete and direct costs to sell, which approximates fair value. The estimates used in the determination of the estimated cash flows and fair value of a project are based on factors known to us at the time such estimates are made and our expectations of future operations. These estimates of cash flows are significantly impacted by estimates of the amounts and timing of revenues and costs and other factors which, in turn, are impacted by local market economic conditions and the actions of competitors. Should the estimates or expectations used in determining estimated cash flows or fair value decrease or differ from current estimates in the future, we may be required to recognize additional impairments related to current and future projects.
Post Development Completion Costs
In instances where a development is substantially completed and sold and the Company has additional construction work to be incurred, an estimated liability is provided to cover the cost of such work and is recorded as costs of sales and included in accounts payable in the accompanying balance sheet.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued expenses, it was assumed that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of such instruments. Management believes that the carrying amount debt is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company grants credit to customers that are based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, without requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition. The Company controls its exposure to credit risk through credit approvals, and progressive payments as the work is preformed.
100% of the Company’s assets are located in the Russian Federation. There is a potential risk that the government within the Russian Federation may become unstable which could lead to exposure of those assets.
The Company is also subject to the risk of currency fluctuations that may affect the prices paid for goods and the amounts received for revenue.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are treated as period costs and expensed as incurred. During the nine months ended September30, 2008 and 2007 advertising costs expenses were minimal as advertising costs are incurred by the agency hired by the Company to market its housing projects.
Interest
In accordance with SFAS 34, "Capitalization of Interest Cost", interest incurred is first capitalized to the property under development during the land development and home construction period and expensed along with the associated cost of sales as the related inventory are sold. Interest in excess of interest capitalized or interest incurred on borrowings directly related to property not under development is expensed immediately. No interest was expensed for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 as all amounts were capitalized in ongoing projects that expect to be completed in future periods. Capitalized interest is included in Inventories – sold and unsold homes under development – in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Interest cost incurred, expensed and capitalized were:
| | Nine Months Ended | | | Year Ended | |
| | September 30, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | |
Interest capitalized at beginning of period | | $ | 4,465,976 | | | $ | 1,993,524 | |

| | | | | | | | |
Interest capitalized at end of period | | $ | 7,377,610 | | | $ | 4,465,976 | |
Depreciation
Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated primarily using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach under which deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted tax rates applicable in future years to the differences noted in the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of the reported assets and liabilities.
The principal item giving rise to deferred taxes is expenses deductible for tax purposes that are not deductible for book purposes.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Internal Income Tax Law of the Russian Federation. The Company is taxed at a rate of 24%.
Foreign Currency Translation
Conversion of currency from the Russian ruble into a United States dollar (“US $”) has been made at the respective applicable rates of exchange. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into US $ at the applicable rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are converted at the average rates for the years then ended.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net earnings by weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common share and potential common shares outstanding during the year. There were no potential common shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses primarily include prepayments for goods and services and which relate to specific housing projects are amortized to cost of sales as the applicable inventory are sold. All other prepaid expenses are amortized over a specific time period or as used and charged to overhead expense.
New Financial Accounting Standards
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. This Statement is effective sixty days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 162 on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-1, “Application of SFAS No. 157 to SFAS No. 13 and Its Related Interpretative Accounting Pronouncements that Address Leasing Transactions” (“FSP SFAS 157-1”) and FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-2, “Effective Date of SFAS No. 157” (“FSP SFAS 157-2”). FSP SFAS 157-1 excludes SFAS No. 13 and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions from the requirements of SFAS No. 157, with the exception of fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recorded as a result of a lease transaction but measured pursuant to other pronouncements within the scope of SFAS No. 157. FSP SFAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). FSP SFAS 157-1 and FSP SFAS 157-2 became effective for the Company upon adoption of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. The Company will provide the additional disclosures required relating to the fair value measurement of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities when it fully implements SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2009, as required, and does not believe they will have a significant impact on its financial statements.

5. Income Taxes
The Company adopted the provision of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no adjustment in the net liabilities or equity for unrecognized income tax benefit.
The Company files income tax returns in all jurisdictions in which it has reason to believe it is subject to tax. The Company is subject to examination by various taxing jurisdictions. To date, none of these examinations has resulted in any material additional tax. Nonetheless, any tax jurisdiction may contend that a filing position claimed by the Company regarding one or more of its transactions is contrary to that jurisdictions laws or regulations. Significant judgement is required in determining the worldwide provisions for income taxes. In the ordinary course of business of a global business, the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain for many transactions. It is the Company’s policy to establish provisions for taxes that may become payable in future years as a result of an examination by tax authorities. The Company establishes the provisions based upon management’s assessment of exposure associated with permanent tax differences and tax credits applied to temporary difference adjustments. The tax provisions are analyzed periodically (at least quarterly) and adjustments are made as events occur that warrant adjustments to those provisions.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto and the other financial information included elsewhere in this report. Certain statements contained in this report, including, without limitation, statements containing the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects” and words of similar import, constitute “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including our ability to create, sustain, manage or forecast our growth; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; changes in our business strategy or development plans; competition; business disruptions; adverse publicity; and international, national and local general economic and market conditions.
Overview
Throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Promotora Valle Hermoso”, “Promotora” and “our Company” refer to Promotora Valle Hermoso, Inc., a Colorado corporation, and, unless the context indicates otherwise, includes our subsidiaries.
We were formerly known as Lion Gri Corporation, Inc. and were incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on January 6, 1999. On June 22, 2006, we effectuated a share exchange transaction with Promotora Valle Hermoso Inc, a Florida company with subsidiaries engaged in the housing business in the Republic of Ecuador. Prior to June 22, 2006, we engaged in the production and distribution of wines. In connection with the share exchange transaction with Promotora , we sold all of our current assets and liabilities to Lion Gri Corporation, a wholly-owned company of our former officers and directors prior to June 22, 2006, and changed our name to Promotora Valle Hermoso, Inc.
Effective March 24, 2008, we entered into an Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”) with stockholders of OJSC “494 UNR”, a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Russian Federation (“494 UNR”), providing for the acquisition by the Company of 66.83% of all of the outstanding shares of common and preferred stock of 494 UNR. At the closing under the Agreement on August 5, 2008, we issued 20,500,000 shares of our common stock to the controlling stockholder of 494 UNR. The Agreement provided for resignation at closing of the Company’s officers and directors and the appointment of new officers and a new Board of Directors, as well as for the sale of the Company’s existing business to former management. We have filed an Information Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to change the name of the Company to UNR Holdings, Inc. For accounting purposes, the share exchange agreement has been treated as a recapitalization of 494 UNR (now a 68.83% owned subsidiary of the Company) as the acquirer. The financial statements prior to August 5, 2008 are those of 494 UNR.
494 UNR is a construction company with its principal offices located in Bronnitsy (Moscow region), Russian Federation. 494 UNR operates primarily in the Moscow region of the Russian Federation and specializes in infrastructure build and supply services, including the construction of roads, highways and bridges, design/build apartment and office buildings and parks, warehouses, shopping centers and retail facilities, hotels, commercial housing projects and light industrial projects for governments, developers, businesses and end users. 494 UNR also performs activities such as demolition, clearing, large-scale earthwork and grading, dewatering, drainage improvements and structural concrete.

Critical Accounting Policies
The Securities and Exchange Commission recently issued "Financial Reporting Release No. 60 Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies" ("FRR 60"), suggesting companies provide additional disclosures, discussion and commentary on those accounting policies considered most critical to its business and financial reporting requirements. FRR 60 considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to the Company's financial condition and results of operations, and requires significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in the application of the policy. For a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies, including the critical accounting policies discussed below, please refer to the accompanying notes to the financial statements.
The Company assesses potential impairment of its long-lived assets, which include its property and equipment and its identifiable intangibles such as deferred charges under the guidance of SFAS 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". The Company must continually determine if a permanent impairment of its long-lived assets has occurred and write down the assets to their fair values and charge current operations for the measured impairment.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ISSUES
The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the financial statements, requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that effect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to intangible assets, income taxes and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
NEW FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. This Statement is effective sixty days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 162 on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-1, “Application of SFAS No. 157 to SFAS No. 13 and Its Related Interpretative Accounting Pronouncements that Address Leasing Transactions” (“FSP SFAS 157-1”) and FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-2, “Effective Date of SFAS No. 157” (“FSP SFAS 157-2”). FSP SFAS 157-1 excludes SFAS No. 13 and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions from the requirements of SFAS No. 157, with the exception of fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recorded as a result of a lease transaction but measured pursuant to other pronouncements within the scope of SFAS No. 157. FSP SFAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). FSP SFAS 157-1 and FSP SFAS 157-2 became effective for the Company upon adoption of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. The Company will provide the additional disclosures required relating to the fair value measurement of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities when it fully implements SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2009, as required, and does not believe they will have a significant impact on its financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are primarily exposed to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and credit risk.
Foreign Currency Risk - Because our revenues are currently denominated in U.S. dollars, a strengthening of the dollar could reduce our reported revenues. We do not engage in financial transactions for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risk - Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. Investments that are classified as cash and cash equivalents have original maturities of three months or less. We believe that there is not a material risk exposure to our short term investments.
Credit Risk - Our accounts receivables are subject, in the normal course of business, to collection risks. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices to protect against the adverse effects of collection risks. As a result we do not anticipate any material losses in this area.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer are primarily responsible for the accuracy of the financial information that is presented in this quarterly Report. These officers have as of the close of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-4c and 15d-14c promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and determined that such controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information relating to the Company was made known to them during the period covered by this Quarterly Report. In their evaluation, no changes were made to the Company's internal controls in this period that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely materially to affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, 2008, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There are material risks in addition to the risk factors previously disclosed such Current Report, which additional risk factors are relevant to and should be considered in connection with an evaluation of our construction and materials supply businesses. These additional risks are as follows.
Recent Constraints on the Availability of Credit in the Worldwide Banking System and in the Russian Federation may Affect our Results of Operations.
We specialize in infrastructure build and supply services, including the construction of roads, highways and bridges, design/build apartment and office buildings and parks, warehouses, shopping centers and retail facilities, hotels, commercial housing projects and light industrial projects for governments, developers, businesses and end users in the Russian Federation. Recent constraints on the availability of credit in the worldwide banking system and in the Russian Republic could adversely affect construction and development projects of our customers and have a consequent adverse effect on our results of operations. As a result, we would face risks of:
· | Inability of our customers to finance their development and infrastructure projects, which would reduce the demand for our construction services and products; |
· | currency fluctuations resulting from economic conditions in the Russian Federation; and |
· | economic instability in our markets in the Russian Federation. |
We Could Face Limitations on our Ability to Access the Capital Markets.
Although we have no plans at this time to access the capital markets to raise funds through the sale of equity or debt securities, our ability to access the capital markets would be subject to various factors, including general economic and/or financial market conditions. The current conditions of the financial markets have adversely affected the availability of credit and liquidity resources and our access to capital markets is more limited until stability re-emerges in these markets.
