GREAT CHINA INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009
1. | Description of business |
Great China International Holdings, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 4, 1987, under the name of Quantus Capital, Inc., and in 1992, it changed its name to Red Horse Entertainment Corporation.
Effective July 5, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Silverstrand International Holdings Limited (“Silverstrand”), a Hong Kong limited liability company, by issuing 10,102,333 shares of its common voting stock to the former stockholders of Silverstrand in exchange for all of the capital stock of Silverstrand. For financial reporting purposes the acquisition was treated as a recapitalization of Silverstrand. On September 15, 2005, the Company changed its name to Great China International Holdings, Inc. from Red Horse Entertainment Corporation.
Silverstrand was incorporated on September 30, 2004 in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, PRC, and is the holding company of Shenyang Maryland International Industry Company Limited, formerly Shenyang Malilan Audio Equipment Company, Limited (“Shenyang Maryland”). Shenyang Maryland was originally registered as a limited liability Sino-foreign joint investment enterprise on December 15, 1989, in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, PRC. In October 2004, Silverstrand acquired all of the registered equity of Shenyang Maryland, and this transfer and the reclassification of Shenyang Maryland as a “wholly foreign-owned enterprise” (“WFOE”) was approved in November 2004 by the Liaoning Provincial Bureau of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. This approval was subsequently registered, and a business registra tion certificate (No. 111103721 (1-1)) was issued to Shenyang Maryland as a WFOE in April 2005 by the Shenyang Municipal Administration of Industry and Commerce. The original business licenses for Shenyang Maryland described our business scope as real estate development, sales, leasing, and property management. In January of 2010, the Company modified the business scope to real estate leasing, property management, and consulting.
The Company, through its various subsidiaries, has engaged in commercial and residential real estate leasing, management, consulting, investment, development and sales in the city of Shenyang, Lianing Province, in the People’ Republic of China (“PRC”).
2. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
Unaudited Interim Financial Information - The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future period. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The r esults of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.
| Foreign currency translation - The Company uses the United States dollar for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their functional currency - Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY), being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. Such financial statements were translated into United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830 (Originally issued as Statement of Financial Accounts Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”). According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate, stockholder’s equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement and statement of cash flows items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220 (Originally issued as SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”) as a component of shareholders’ equity. |

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars ($) on the basis set forth below.
Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances within the Company are eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and other receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company reserved $3,433,665 and $5,407,347 respectively, for other receivable bad debt, and $365,404 and $312,009, respectively, for accounts receivable bad debt.
Real Estate Held for Development or Sale – The Company capitalizes as real estate held for development or sale, the direct construction and development costs, property taxes, interest incurred on costs related to land under development and other related costs (i.e. engineering, surveying, landscaping, etc.) until the property reaches its intended use. In first quarter of 2010, the company moved one building that amounted to $379,654 (RMB 2,540,000) to properties held for rental. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, real estate held for development or sale amounted to $1,235,178 and $2,060,146, respectively.
Properties held for rental – Properties include buildings held for rental and land use rights, which are being depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over 20-26 years. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, net property held for rental amounted to $48,974,299 and $49,802,284 respectively. Accumulated depreciation of rental properties amounted to $17,912,810 and $15,383,654 respectively as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Property and equipment – Property and equipment is being depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over useful lives as follows:
Buildings | | 8-26 years |
Equipment | | 5 years |
Automobile | | 5 years |
Office furniture and fixtures | | 5 years |
7
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Property, Plant & Equipment consist of the following:

Accumulated depreciation | | (1,544,224 | ) | | | (1,385,252 | ) |
| | | |
Property and equipment, net | $ | 1,166,993 | | | $ | 1,590,183 | |
Depreciation expense for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 totaled $146,622 and $138,775 respectively.
Repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of and comprehensive income in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.
Property and equipment are evaluated annually for any impairment in value. Where the recoverable amount of any property and equipment is determined to have declined below its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to reflect the decline in value. There were no property and equipment impairments recognized during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
As of September 30, 2010, fixed assets and rental property totaling $28,219,384 have been pledged as securities to various banks in respect of borrowings totaling $19,700,146.
Revenue Recognition
Real estate sales
Real estate sales are reported in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” Revenue from the sales of development properties is recognized by the full accrual method when the sale is consummated. A sale is not considered consummated until (1) the parties are bound by the terms of a contract, (2) all consideration has been exchanged, (3) any permanent financing of which the seller is responsible has been arranged, (4) all conditions precedent to closing have been performed, (5) the seller does not have substantial continuing involvement with the property, and (6) the usual risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Sales transactions not meeting all the conditions of the full accrual method are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting. Under the deposi t method, all costs are capitalized as incurred, and payments received from the buyer are recorded as a deposit liability.
Real Estate Capitalization and Cost Allocation
Real estate held for development or sale is stated at cost or estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower. Costs include land and land improvements, direct construction costs and development costs, including predevelopment costs, interest on indebtedness, real estate taxes, insurance, construction overhead and indirect project costs. Selling and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total estimated costs of multi-unit developments are allocated to individual units based upon specific identification methods.
If the real estate is determined to be impaired, it will be written down to its fair market value. Real estate held for development or sale costs include the cost of land use rights, land development and home construction costs, engineering costs, insurance costs, wages, real estate taxes, and interest related to development and construction. All costs are accumulated by specific projects and allocated to residential and commercial units within the respective projects. The Company leases the land for the residential unit sites under land use rights with various terms from the government of the PRC. The Company evaluates the carrying value for impairment based on the undiscounted future cash flows of the assets. Write-downs of inventory deemed impaired would be recorded as adjustments to the cos t basis. No depreciation is provided for construction in progress.
8
Rental income and management fee income
The Company recognizes the rental income on the straight-line basis over the terms of the tenancy agreements. The management fee, including the service fee mainly for property management, maintenance and repair, and security, is recognized quarterly over the terms of the tenancy agreements.
Other income
Other income consists of land leveling income, parking lot income, cleaning income and etc, of which land leveling income was a one-time service performed at the request of our customers, and gain on settlement of debt. These revenues were recognized as the services were performed and the settled amount has been paid in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Earnings Per Share – Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, there were no outstanding securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as options, warrants or conversion rights, which would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share as the effect of options outstanding at that time was anti- dilutive.
Income taxes - The Company utilizes ASC 740 (Originally issued as SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”), which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis 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 difference are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax ass ets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
The Company records a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, if any, based on its estimates of its future taxable income as well as its tax planning strategies when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. If the Company is able to utilize more of its deferred tax assets than the net amount previously recorded when unanticipated events occur, an adjustment to deferred tax assets would increase the Company net income when those events occur.
Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of business and credit risk – Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base, most of which are in China.
The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

Statement of cash flows - In accordance with ASC 230 (Originally issued as SFAS No. 95), "Statement of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations is calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Subsequent Events - For purposes of determining whether a post-balance sheet event should be evaluated to determine whether it has an effect on the financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2010 pursuant to ASC 855(Originally issued as SFAS No. 165), subsequent events were evaluated by the Company as of October 30, 2010, the date on which the Form 10-Q, which included the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, was available to be issued.
Recent accounting pronouncements –
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarifies existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level o f dis-aggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, however, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance related to revenue recognition for multiple element deliverables which eliminates the requirement that all undelivered elements must have objective and reliable evidence of fair value before a company can recognize the portion of the consideration that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. Under the new guidance, the relative selling price method is required to be used in allocating consideration between deliverables and the residual value method will no longer be permitted. This guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in 2011 although early adoption is permitted. A company may elect, but will not be required, to adopt the amendments retrospectively for all prior period s. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and has not yet determined the impact, if any, that it will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” ASU No. 2010-20 amends the guidance with ASC Topic 310, “Receivables” to facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of (1) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables; (2) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses; and (3) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-20 also require an entity to provide additional disclosures such as a rollforward schedule of the allowance for credit losses on a portfolio segment basis, credit quality indicators of financing receivables and the aging of past due financing receivables. The Company is required to adopt ASU No. 2010-20 as of December 15, 2010 and is currently evaluating the impact the new disclosure requirements will have on its financials statements and notes.

The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
During the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company is organized into two main business segments: (1) Property for sale, and (2) Rental income and Income of management fee of commercial buildings.

(3) | Results of Operations |
Comparison of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 with those for the same period of 2009:
The Company incurred net loss of $ 1,865,161 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to a net income $173,655 for the same period of 2009, representing a decrease of $2,038,815 or 1174.06%. Factors that contributed to this decrease are discussed below.
Sales revenues increased by $292,035 or 5.39% to $5,713,509 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $5,421,474 for the same period of 2009. Real estate income had a small decrease of $47,500 or 4.22% from $1,125,695 to $1,078,195. We expect that real estate sales revenues will diminish in future periods as our current inventory of units available for sale is sold and decreases, and since we do not have projects in development at the present time that would add to our inventory of units. The rental income increased by $321,478 or 11.01% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared with the same period of 2009. The increase is attributable to marketing strategies implemented in 2010 to maintain and improve occupancy at prevailing rental rates. The management business kept a stable income from management fees for the nine month period ended September 30, of 2010 compared to the period of 2009. The increase from the same period of the prior year was$18,058 or 1.31%.
17
Cost of properties sold increased by $515,287 or 13.06% to $4,462,031 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $3,946,744 for the same period of 2009.
Selling expenses decreased by $203,050 or 83.04% to $41,468 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $244,518 for corresponding period of 2009. The main reason for this decrease was because of a reduction of compensation paid to salespersons in the first nine months of 2010 compared to 2009.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $165,141or 8.31% to $1,822,907 during the nine-month period ended September 30, of 2010 compared to $1,988,048 for the same period of 2009. The main factor was that the Company was not engaged in any significant project development activities compared to some significant activity in 2009. It resulted in a reduction of staff and allowed the Company to implement other cost-cutting measures.
Depreciation expense increased by $7,847 or 5.65% to $146,622 for the nine month period ended September 30, of 2010 compared to $138,775 for the same period of 2009. The Company bought some new office equipments after the third quarter of 2009 including 2010, which are being depreciated since then.
Land leveling income decreased by $1,913,857 or 90% during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009. There was less projects of land leveling for the nine month period ended September 30, of 2010 than for the same period of 2009.
The other income decreased by $347,600 or 74.57% to $118,509 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $466,109 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, which is primarily the result of lower penalties charged to tenants and purchasers for their late payments.
Interest and finance costs remained essentially unchanged period over period with a small decrease of $9,125 or 0.63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009.
Cash Flow Discussion
Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $(838,411) and $2,749,683 respectively, representing a decrease of $3,588,094 or 130%. Factors that contributed to this decrease are discussed below.
Less cash was generated from operations in the first quarter of 2010 primarily because land leveling income recognized in the first half of 2009 did not recur in the first nine months of 2010.
The Company paid a commission payable in the amount of $1,784,105, which was accrued two years previously.
Third, accounts receivable increased by $292,800, or 249% (292,800/117,487=2.49) to $410,287, at September 30, 2010, compared to account receivable of $117,487 at December 31, 2009.

Net cash flows used in investing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 was $68,691,while the net cash flow provided by the investing activities for the same period of 2009 was $42,482. This decrease of $111,173 was primarily the result of both new equipment purchases during the first nine months of 2010 and the absence of cash flow from investment in construction and development activities.
(4) | Liquidity and Capital Resources |
Current liabilities exceeded current assets by $26,457,054 as of September 30, 2010. The working capital deficit was mainly a result of Short Term Loans of $19,700,146, which account for approximately 74% of excess laibilities. It represents bank borrowings secured by certain of the Company’s real estate assets that have due dates in October, 2010 and June, 2011. It has become common practice in the PRC for banks and companies to renegotiate loan extensions on an annual basis. Lending banks customarily work out with borrowers loan extensions or restructurings annually within the administrative guidelines of the government. The Company has no reason to believe this practice will not continue so long as the banking customs in the PRC remain unchanged, there are no significant changes in governmental regulatio n of the practice, the security for the Company’s loans retains adequate value, and the Company acts responsibly in addressing reduction of interest and principal balances when it has liquidity. There is no assurance, however, that the practice of annual extensions will continue indefinitely, so management expects it will continue to seek opportunities to reduce its bank indebtedness in future periods.
