GREAT CHINA INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED
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. The Company, through its various subsidiaries, is engaged in commercial and residential real estate leasing, management, consulting, investment, development and sales in the city of Shenyang, Liaoning 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, 2011. The results of the three month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.
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.
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.
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. 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 as a component of shareholders’ equity.
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, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company reserved $1,702,276 and $1,699,814 respectively, for other receivable bad debt, and $696,686 and $695,678, respectively, for accounts receivable bad debt. The Company also reserved $1,988,926 and $1,986,050 respectively for loans receivable.

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 |
Repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations and other 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 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 respectively.
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. As of the December 31, 2010, except the parking spaces, all the merchantable real estates of Qiyuan New Village, Peacock Garden, Chenglong Garden had been sold. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, real estate held for development or sale amounted to zero.
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, 2012 and December 31, 2011, net property held for rental amounted to $47,104,632 and $49,420,220, respectively. Accumulated depreciation of rental properties amounted to $25,829,746 as of September 30, 2012 and $23,402,215 as of December 31, 2011.
Revenue recognition
Real estate sales – 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 deposit method, all costs are capitalized as incurred, and payments received from the buyer are recorded as a deposit liability.
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.
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.
Impairment – If 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 cost basis. No depreciation is provided for construction in progress.
7
Other income
Other income consists of land leveling income, parking lot income, cleaning income, etc., of which land leveling income was a one-time service performed at the request of our customers. This income was 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, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, 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 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.
The Company recognizes 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.
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.
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 maintains large sums of cash in two major banks in China. The aggregate balance in such accounts as of September 30, 2012 was $ 6,802,435. There is no insurance securing these deposits in China. 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
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.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In July 2012, the FASB issued amended standards to simplify how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment which improve consistency in impairment testing requirements among long-lived asset categories. These amended standards permit an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. For assets in which this assessment concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than its carrying value, these amended standards eliminate the requirement to perform quantitative impairment testing as outlined in the previously issued standards. These amended standards are effective for us beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012; however, early adoption is permitted. We do not expect these new standards to significantly impact our consolidated condensed financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance on offsetting (netting) assets and liabilities. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The Company does not believe that this will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. We do not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.
8
In June 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. The amendments provide an entity with an option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied on a retrospective basis. As the amendments are limited to presentation only, the Company does not believe that this will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. We do not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2011 financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a working capital deficit of $12,056,981 and $27,643,654 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. As the Company has limited cash flow from operations, its ability to maintain normal operations is dependent upon obtaining adequate cash to finance its overhead, sales and marketing activities. Additionally, in order for the Company to meet its financial obligations, including salaries, debt service and operations, it has maintained substantial short term bank loans that have historically been renewed each year. The Company’s ability to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months largely depends on the bank loans that involve interest expense requirements that reduce the amount of cash we have for our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is in the process of obtaining informal assurance from our current lender that our short term loans will continue to be renewed and further opening dialog with the lender to convert the short term loans to long term loans. Additionally, the Company is assessing its ability to increase rental rates for its leasing business in order to generate additional revenue. Further, the Company is continuing to focus efforts on cost containment to reduce general and administrative expenses. With its relevant hands-on expertise, the Company also plans to expand operations to include property management.
During 2011, the Company entered into a collateralized loan agreement with Beijing Sihai Real Estate Development Ltd., pursuant to which the Company loaned $2,752,673, due on November 29, 2013. The loan bears interest at a variable rate based on the Peoples’ Bank of China lending rate applicable to the period plus 10%. $318,228 of repayment from Beijing Sihai Real Estate Development Ltd was received during 2012 first quarter.
During 2011, the Company entered into a collateralized loan agreement with Shenyang Landing Concrete Ltd. Company, pursuant to which, the Company loaned $2,386,711, due on March 27, 2013. The loan bears interest at a variable rate based on the Peoples’ Bank of China lending rate applicable to the period. On November 30, 2011 the Company, along with Shenyang Landing Concrete Ltd reassigned the loan amount to Kaiyuan Hongyun Concrete Admixture Ltd. with the same terms.
During 2009, the Company entered into an uncollateralized loan agreement with Zhongxin Guoan Ltd., pursuant to which the Company loaned $1,988,926, due on October 30, 2011. The loan bore interest at a variable rate based on the Peoples’ Bank of China lending rate applicable to the period. Subsequent to the issuance of the loan, the Company determined that the loan was uncollectible and recorded a reserve on the entire loan amount. During the fourth quarter of 2011, this loan was reassigned to Shenyang Konggang New City Investment Development Ltd., who is working on a development project with Zhongxin Guoan Ltd. The loan remains uncollateralized and is now due on November 24, 2013. The loan bears interest at a variable rate based on the Peoples’ Bank of China lending rate applicable to the period.

The Company incurred a net loss of $1,714,043 for the first nine months of 2012, an increase of $312,486, or 22.3%, compared with the same period of 2011. Components resulting in this improvement are discussed below.
Sales revenues increased by $487,757 or 9.10% from $5,361,056 for the first nine months of 2011 to $5,848,813 for the same period of 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, both the rental income and management fee income increased compared to the same period of 2011, of which the rental income increased by $418,479 or 10.81%`from $3,869,589 for the first nine months of 2011 to $4,288,068 for the same period of`2012, which is largely attributable to the Company increasing rental rates in 2012. The management fee income increased by $69,278 or 4.64% from $1,491,467 for the first nine months of 2011 to $1,560,745 for the same period of 2012.
There is no significant change in cost of revenue for the first nine months of 2012 compared with same period of 2011, which was $4,602,437 and $4,611,478 for 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The gross profit margin of rental business were 21% and 12%, in the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively, which increased by 9%. This increase is attributed to the constant increase of rental fee and decrease of cost of rental business. The gross profit margin of management business were 23% and 20% in the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively, which increased by 3%. The increase is attributed to an increase of income of management business.
Selling expenses decreased by $12,443 or 21.13% from $58,896 for the first nine months of 2011 to $46,453 for the same period of 2012. This is attributed to a decrease in employee bonuses in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011.
General and administrative expenses did not change significantly, increasing just $17,110 or 1.27% from $1,342,797 for the first nine months of 2011 to $1,359,907 for the same period of 2012.
Depreciation expense decreased by $12,489 or 15.75% from $79,284 for the first nine months of 2011 to $66,795 for the same period of 2012. This decrease was mainly due to the company disposing of some fixed assets in 2012, but there is no such disposal during the same period of 2011.
Interest and finance costs decreased by $24,654 or 1.49% from $1,659,490 for the first nine months of 2011 to $1,634,836 for the same period of 2012, which is primarily due to the effect of exchange differences in 2011 compared to 2012.
The Company earned $828,038 income from disposal of parking lots in the first nine months of 2011, but there is was no such disposal of assets in the first nine months of 2012.

(4) Cash Flow Discussion
Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 were $325,497 and $9,247, respectively. The increase amounted to $316,250 or 3420%. This significant change was due to the below factors:
The main factor is that the Company disposed of parking lots in the first nine months of 2011, which reduced cash flow from operating activities by $828,038 in 2011, but there is no similar disposal of assets in the same period of 2012.
Net cash flows used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2012 were not significant.
Net cash flows from financing activities were $315,935 and negative $2,397,883 during the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The change is due to the Company making a loan to a third party in the first nine months of 2011, but there were no similar loan transactions in the same period of 2012. Furthermore, the Company was repaid part of a loan, approximately $318,228, from a third party during the first quarter of 2012.
(5) Liquidity and Capital Resources
Current liabilities exceeded current assets by $12,056,981 as of September 30, 2012. The Short Term Loans amounted to $6,364,562 the loan accounted for about 53% of the working capital deficit. This bank loan is due in June 2013 and secured by some of the Company’s real estate assets. It has become common practice in China, for banks and companies to renegotiate loan extensions on an annual basis. This is driven by the ever changing banking regulatory environment and a situation where banks are becoming more conservative.
Under the circumstances, most lending banks have usually worked closely with borrowers for loan extension or restructuring within the administrative guidelines of the government. As State policies are issued outside the control of the banks in China and form part of the macro and micro-economic measures, many bankers and their customers work together to deal with the situation provided the borrowers are responsible.
