SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report on Form 6-K/A contains forward-looking statements. These statements are made under the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
You can generally identify these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as may, will, could, expect, is expected to, anticipate, aim, estimate, intend, plan, believe, potential, continue, is/are likely to or other similar expressions or negatives of such expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Some of the assumptions, future results and levels of performance expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements we make inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated events may occur which will affect our results. In addition, a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors could affect the accuracy of these statements. Among the important factors to consider in evaluating our forward-looking statements are our ability to continue to implement our business model successfully; our ability to secure adequate financing for our project development; our ability to successfully sell or complete our property projects under construction and planning; our ability to acquire suitable land sites for future development at reasonable prices; our ability to comply with procedural requirements applicable to land grants from the government or the terms of
the land use rights grant contracts; our ability to obtain on a timely basis necessary government approvals for any major property development; our ability to complete the Acquisition within the anticipated time period, if at all; the Sellers ability to obtain government approval required for this Acquisition, including the approval for transfer of state-owned assets which is necessary given that the sellers of the equity interest we intend to acquire are state-owned enterprises; economic, political and social conditions in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) as well as government policies can affect our business, and other risks outlined in our public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2008, as amended.
ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On September 25, 2009, we, through our indirectly wholly owned subsidiary, Henan Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd., or Henan Xinyuan, entered into an Equity Transfer and Profit Distribution Agreement (ETA) with Zhengzhou General Construction Investment Company and Zhengzhou Jiantou Project Consulting Co., Ltd. (collectively known as Sellers), pursuant to which Xinyuan, through Henan Xinyuan, may acquire the remaining 55% interest (the 55% Equity) in Jiantou Xinyuan not currently owned by Xinyuan.
Pursuant to the ETA, the aggregate purchase price for the 55% Equity is approximately US$4 million in cash. As part of the transaction, Jiantou Xinyuan will make distributions of approximately US$26.7 million to the Sellers in the aggregate and approximately US$21.8 million to Henan Xinyuan prior to completion of the transaction.
As the Sellers are state-owned enterprises, the proposed Acquisition is deemed a transfer of state-owned assets. Under laws and regulations in the PRC governing transfers of state-owned assets, state-owned assets, including state-owned equity interests, are required to be sold or disposed of through a public listing and auction process unless a proposed sale or disposal has been exempted by the relevant authority from such listing and auction process. Under the ETA, the Sellers are responsible for obtaining the government approval to exempt the proposed transfer of the 55% Equity as contemplated under the ETA from the public listing and auction process (the Government Approval). If the Government Approval is not obtained, the Sellers will be required to proceed with the public listing and auction process. The Sellers are currently in the process of applying for the Government Approval from the Zhengzhou municipal administration of state-owned assets. The closing of the proposed Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of the Government Approval. Based on the assessment of the Sellers regarding expected timing and the likelihood of obtaining the Government Approval, the proposed Acquisition is currently expected to be completed by the end of 2009. See Risk Factors Our proposed acquisition of the 55% equity interest in Jiantou Xinyuan is subject to the government approval for exemption from the listing and auction process for the transfer of state-owned assets. If such approval cannot be obtained, we cannot assure you that we will win the auction process to acquire such 55% equity interest at the terms we previously negotiated with the sellers, or at all.
The foregoing description of the ETA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the ETA, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Report and is incorporated herein by reference. The ETA has been included to provide information regarding the terms of the Acquisition. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Xinyuan or Henan Xinyuan.
About Jiantou Xinyuan
Jiantou Xinyuan is a property development company founded in 2005 in which we currently own a 45% equity interest. A 50% equity interest in Jiantou Xinyuan currently is held by Zhengzhou General Construction Investment Company and the remaining 5% is held by Zhengzhou Jiantou Project Consulting Co., Ltd. Under the joint venture contract, we and the other partners agree to share the profits according to our respective equity interests in Jiantou Xinyuan. We and the other partners also extend loans to Jiantou Xinyuan at an interest rate comparable to bank lending rates for Jiantou Xinyuans property development operations.
Jiantou Xinyuan operates exclusively in Zhengzhou and has initiated six projects. As of June 30, 2009, Jiantou Xinyuan had completed three projects with total GFA of 191,475 square meters. Two additional projects are under construction with an estimated total GFA of 374,563 square meters. One project is under planning with estimated total GFA of 194,117 square meters.
Jiantou Xinyuan completed its first project in 2006 and did not record revenue from real estate sales in that year. In 2007 and 2008, Jiantou Xinyuans revenue was US$122.2 million and US$120.8 million, respectively, and net income was US$30.8 million and US$41.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Jiantou Xinyuan recorded revenue of US$33.3 million and net income of US$8.2 million. For more information about Jiantou Xinyuans financial condition, see the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of Jiantou Xinyuan included in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto.
The Acquisition will increase the number of our projects under construction and planning in 2010. In addition, Jiantou Xinyuans properties under construction and completed projects listed below are expected to continue to generate positive cash flows from selling unsold units through the first half of 2010. Jiantou Xinyuan is also planning to commence the construction and pre-sale of the property under planning listed below in 2010. We believe that the Acquisition will further strengthen our market presence in Zhengzhou. For more information on the impact of the Acquisition on our results of operation and financial condition, please see the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included in Exhibit 99.3 hereto.

Financial Statements and Exhibits
The financial statements and pro forma financial information described below should be read in conjunction with the Original Report and this report on Form 6-K/A.
(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired.
The audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and 2008 and for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 of Jiantou Xinyuan and subsidiary and related report of independent registered public accounting firm are included as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 of Jiantou Xinyuan and subsidiary are included as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information of Xinyuan as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008 giving effect to the Acquisition and the notes related thereto are included as Exhibit 99.3 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
RISK FACTORS
Our proposed acquisition of the 55% equity interest in Jiantou Xinyuan is subject to the government approval for exemption from the listing and auction process for the transfer of state-owned assets. If such approval cannot be obtained, we cannot assure you that we will win the auction process to acquire such 55% equity interest at the terms we previously negotiated with the sellers, or at all.
On September 25, 2009, we, through our indirectly wholly owned subsidiary Henan Xinyuan entered into an ETA with the Sellers to acquire their 55% equity interest in Jiantou Xinyuan. We currently own the remaining 45% equity interest in Jiantou Xinyuan through Henan Xinyuan.
As the Sellers are state-owned enterprises, our proposed acquisition of the Sellers 55% equity interest in Jiantou Xinyuan, or the 55% Equity, is deemed a transfer of state-owned assets, which under the PRC laws and regulations are required to be sold or disposed of through a public listing and auction process unless a proposed sale or disposal has been exempted by the relevant authority from such listing and auction process. Under the ETA, the Sellers are responsible for obtaining the government approval to exempt the proposed transfer of the 55% Equity as contemplated under the ETA from the public listing and auction process, or the Government Approval. The Sellers are currently in the process of applying for the Government Approval from the Zhengzhou municipal administration of state-owned assets. Based on the assessments of the Sellers regarding expected timing and the likelihood of obtaining the Government Approval, we anticipate that the proposed acquisition of the 55% Equity will be completed by the end of 2009. However, we cannot assure you that the Sellers will be able to obtain the Government Approval in a timely manner or at all.
In the event that the Sellers fail to obtain the Government Approval, they will be required to list the 55% Equity in the local assets and equity exchange for a competitive auction and determine the purchaser of, and the transfer price for, the 55% Equity based on the results of such auction. The listing price will be based on an independent asset appraisal. In such case, we currently intend to participate in the auction process but we cannot guarantee you that we will win the auction. We believe that we are likely to win an auction because we already own, through Henan Xinyuan, a 45% interest in Jiantou Xinyuan, potentially discouraging third parties from participating in the auction process. In addition, as an existing shareholder of Jiantou Xinyuan, Henan Xinyuan is entitled to a right of first refusal on the sale of the 55% Equity. We currently plan to exercise such right to match any reasonable bid by a third party that exceeds our bid price. However, even if we manage to win the auction for the 55% Equity, regardless of whether through exercising our right of first refusal, we cannot assure you that the final purchase price for the 55% Equity will not exceed the price as provided in the ETA or that the other terms of the final purchase will not be different from the terms we agreed with the Sellers in the ETA. Furthermore, we might decide not to enter the auction process, or exercise our right of first refusal with respect to the 55% Equity, if we determine that the listing price or the price bid by a third party is unreasonably high. In such an event, we would not acquire the 55% Equity and, depending on the results of the auction, we may have joint ownership of Jiantou Xinyuan with one or more new joint venture partners with whom we may not be familiar. If we do not develop and maintain a good relationship with such new partner(s), Jiantou Xinyuans results of operations may be adversely affected, which in turn may adversely affect our results of operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Zhengzhou Jiantou Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zhengzhou Jiantou Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Zhenzhou Jiantou Xinyuan Co., Ltd. and subsidiary at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of presentation and consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Jiantou Xinyuan and its subsidiary (collectively, the Jiantou Group). All inter-company transactions and balances between Jiantou Xinyuan and its subsidiary have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Jiantou Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out from the Jiantou Group. Where there is a loss of control of a subsidiary or other controlled entity, the consolidated financial statements include the results for the part of the reporting year during which the Jiantou Group has control.
(b) Use of Estimates
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 selection of the useful lives of property and equipment, provision necessary for contingent liabilities, fair values, revenue recognition, taxes, budgeted costs and other similar charges. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
F-6
(c) Fair value of financial instruments
Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other deposits and prepayments, amounts due to related parties, amount due to shareholders, other receivables, accounts payable, customer deposits, other payables and accrued liabilities, and borrowings. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other deposits and prepayments, amounts due to related parties, amount due to shareholders, other receivables, accounts payable, customer deposits, other payables and accrued liabilities, and bank borrowings approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Jiantou Group is exposed to credit risk for financial assets and its maximum amount of loss in the event of non performance by the counterparty is the recorded amount. Jiantou Group generally does not require collateral for its financial assets.
(d) Foreign currency translation
Jiantou Groups financial information is presented in US dollars. The functional currency of Jiantou Xinyuan is Renminbi (RMB), the currency of the PRC. The functional currency of Jiantou Xinyuans subsidiary is also RMB. Transactions at Jiantou Xinyuan and its subsidiary which are denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the exchange rate quoted by the Peoples Bank of China prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in a currency other than that RMB are included in consolidated statements of operations as exchange gains.
The consolidated financial statements of Jiantou Xinyuans subsidiary have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. 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 and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders equity.
The 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 US dollars at the rates used in translation.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state-owned and private banks within the PRC. Total cash in banks at December 31, 2008 amounted to US$31,456,157 (2007: US$50,306,185), of which no deposits are covered by insurance. Jiantou Group has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Jiantou Group considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Jiantou Group maintains bank accounts in the PRC. Jiantou Group does not maintain any bank accounts in the United States. All bank balances are denominated in RMB.
(f) Restricted cash
Jiantou Group is required to maintain certain deposits with banks that provide mortgage loans to Jiantou Group and Jiantou Groups customers in order to purchase residential units. These balances are subject to withdrawal restrictions and totaled US$968,102 as of December 31, 2008 (2007: US$875,236). As of December 31, 2008, Jiantou Group also held US$264,194 (2007:US$3,061,061) in its restricted cash accounts, representing funds received from loans, which were designated to finance permitted project development expenditures that are subject to approval by the lender. These deposits are not covered by insurance. The Jiantou Group has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
(g) Real estate property development completed and under development
Real estate properties consist of finished residential unit sites and residential unit sites under development. Jiantou Group leases the land for the residential unit sites under land use right leases with various terms from the PRC. 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, 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 value of units to the estimated total sales value times the total project costs.
Costs of amenities transferred to buyers are allocated as common costs of the project that are allocated to specific units as a component of total construction costs. For amenities retained by Jiantou Group, costs in excess of the related fair value of the amenity are also treated as common costs. Results of operations of amenities retained by Jiantou Group are included in current operating results.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(h) Revenue recognition
Real estate sales are reported in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.
Revenue from the sales of development properties where the construction period is 12 months or less is recognized by the full accrual method at the time of the closing of an individual unit sale. This occurs when title to or possession of the property is transferred to the buyer. A sale is not considered consummated until (a) the parties are bound by the terms of a contract, (b) all consideration has been exchanged, (c) any permanent financing of which the seller is responsible has been arranged, (d) all conditions precedent to closing have been performed, (e) the seller does not have substantial continuing involvement with the property, and (f) the usual risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Further, the buyers initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property, and the buyers receivable, if any, is not subject to future subordination. Sales transactions not meeting all the conditions of the full accrual method are accounted for using the deposit method in which all costs are capitalized as incurred, and payments received from the buyer are recorded as a deposit liability.
Revenue and profit from the sale of development properties where the construction period is more than 12 months is recognized by the percentage-of-completion method on the sale of individual units when the following conditions are met:
a. | Construction is beyond a preliminary stage. |
b. | The buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for non-delivery of the unit. |
c. | Sufficient units have already been sold to assure that the entire property will not revert to rental property. |
d. | Sales prices are collectible. |
e. | Aggregate sales proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated. |
If any of the above criteria is not met, proceeds are accounted for as deposits until the criteria are met and/or the sale consummated.
Under the percentage of completion method, revenues from units sold and related costs are recognized over the course of the construction period, based on the completion progress of a project. In relation to any project, revenue is determined by calculating the ratio of incurred costs, including land use rights costs and construction costs, to total estimated costs and applying that ratio to the contracted sales amounts.
Cost of sales is recognized by determining the ratio of contracted sales during the period to total estimated sales value, and applying that ratio to the incurred costs. Current period amounts are calculated based on the difference between the life-to-date project totals and the previously recognized amounts.
Any losses incurred or forecast to occur on real estate transaction are recognized in the period in which the loss is first anticipated.
Real estate lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the tenancy agreements. Business tax of 5% and depreciation cost of the property are recorded as the cost of rental income.
(i) Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable consists of balances due from customers for the sale of residential units. In cases where the customers deposit more than 50% of the total purchase price, Jiantou Group may defer the remaining purchase price. These deferred balances are unsecured, bear no interest and are due within six months from the date of the sale.
Accounts receivable are reviewed periodically as to whether their carrying value has become impaired. Jiantou Group considers the assets to be impaired if the collectability of the balances become doubtful. As of December 31, 2007 and 2008, the allowance for doubtful debts was US$ nil and US$ nil, respectively.
(j) Other receivables
Other receivables consist of various cash advances to unrelated companies and individuals with which Jiantou Group has business relationships.

Other receivables are reviewed periodically as to whether their carrying value has become impaired. Jiantou Group considers the assets to be impaired if the collectability of the balances becomes doubtful. As of December 31, 2007 and 2008, the allowance for debts was US$ nil and US$ nil, respectively.
(k) Customer deposits
Customer deposits consist of amounts received from customers relating to the sale of residential units. Customers will generally obtain permanent financing for the purchase of their residential unit prior to the completion of the project. The lending institution will provide the funding to the Jiantou Group upon the completion of the financing rather than the completion of the project. Jiantou Group receives these funds and recognizes them as a current liability until the revenue can be recognized.
(l) Other payables
Other payables consist of balances for non-construction costs with unrelated companies and individuals with which the Jiantou Group has business relationships. These amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and generally are short term in nature.
(m) Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Buildings |
20 years | |
Vehicles |
5 years | |
Furniture and fixtures |
5 years | |
Software |
5 years |
Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expense as incurred unless such expenditures extend the useful life or represent a betterment, in which case they are capitalized.
(n) Impairment of long-lived assets
Jiantou Group reviews its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, Jiantou Group measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group would recognize an impairment loss based on the fair value of the assets. There was no impairment loss recognized for long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008.
(o) Capitalized interest
Jiantou Group capitalizes interest as a component of building construction costs in accordance with SFAS No. 34, Capitalization of Interest Cost.
As a result of the total interest costs capitalized during the period, the interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, was as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
insurance, health insurance and housing fund were established for the employees during the term they are employed. For the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 the level of contribution to these funds for each employee was determined at 38% of their average salary determined by the Social Welfare Bureau. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Jiantou Group recorded expense in the amount of US$146,489 (2006: US$32,403; 2007: US$80,822).
(q) Distribution of earnings and reserve fund
In accordance with the PRC Company Law, PRC entities are required to transfer 10% of their profit after tax, as determined with PRC accounting standards and regulations, to statutory surplus reserve (the SSR) until such reserve reaches 50% of the registered capital of the entities.
Subject to certain restrictions set out in the PRC Company Law, the SSR may be distributed to stockholders in the form of share bonus issued to increase share capital, provided that the remaining balance after the capitalization is not less than 25% of the registered capital.
(r) Income taxes
Jiantou Group accounts for income tax using the balance sheet method. 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, as well as unutilized net operating losses. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Jiantou Group is able to realize their benefits, or that future utilization is uncertain.
Through FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FIN 48-3, Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 48 for Certain Nonpublic Enterprises, issued by FASB in December 2008, the FASB delayed the effective date of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), for certain nonpublic enterprises until annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2008. The Jiantou Group adopted FIN 48 earlier on January 1, 2007. There was no cumulative effect of the adoption of FIN 48 to beginning retained earnings. Interest and penalties arising from underpayment of income taxes shall be recognized according to the relevant tax law. The amount of interest expense to be recognized shall be computed by applying the applicable statutory rate of interest to the difference between the tax position recognized and the amount previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interest recognized in accordance with this Interpretation is classified in the financial statements as interest expense, while penalties recognized in accordance with this Interpretation are classified in the financial statements as other expenses. Please refer to Note (12), Income Taxes for additional information relating to the adoption of FIN 48 and its impact on the current period financial results.
In accordance with the provisions of FIN 48, the Jiantou Group recognizes in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if a tax returns position or future tax position is more likely than not to prevail (defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent of being sustained upon audit, based on the technical merits of the tax position). Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are measured (using a cumulative probability approach) at the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Jiantou Groups estimated liability for unrecognized tax benefits is periodically assessed for adequacy and may be affected by changing interpretations of laws, rulings by tax authorities, certain changes and/or developments with respect to audits, and expiration of the statute of limitations. The outcome for a particular audit cannot be determined with certainty prior to the conclusion of the audit and, in some cases, appeal or litigation process. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from the Jiantou Groups estimates. As each audit is concluded, adjustments, if any, are appropriately recorded in the Jiantou Groups financial statements. Additionally, in future periods, changes in facts, circumstances, and new information may require the Jiantou Group to adjust the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recognized in the period in which the changes occur.
Prior to the adoption of FIN 48, the Jiantou Group applied SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, to assess and provide for potential income tax exposures. In accordance with SFAS No.5, the Jiantou Group maintained reserves for tax contingencies based on reasonable estimates of the tax liabilities, interest, and penalties (if any) that may result from such audits. FIN 48 substantially changes the applicable accounting model and is likely to cause greater volatility in the income statements and effective tax rates as more items are recognized and/or derecognized discretely within income tax expense.
(s) Land Appreciation Tax (LAT)
In accordance with the relevant taxation laws for real estate companies of the provinces in which the entities operate in the PRC, the local tax authorities levy LAT based on progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value, being the proceeds of sales of properties less deductible expenditures, including borrowing costs and all property development expenditures. LAT is prepaid on customer deposits and is expensed when the related revenue is recognized, as explained at Note 2 (h).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(t) Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Jiantou Groups only components of comprehensive income during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 were net income and the foreign currency translation adjustment.
(u) Advertising expenses
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, or the first time the advertising takes place, in accordance with Statement of Position No. 93-7 Reporting on Advertising Costs. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Jiantou Group recorded advertising expenses of US$2,021,026 (2006: US$403,671; 2007: US$1,523,218).
(v) Leases
In accordance with SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, leases are classified at the inception date as either a capital lease or an operating lease. For the lessee, a lease is a capital lease if any of the following conditions exist: a) ownership is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term, b) there is a bargain purchase option, c) the lease term is at least 75% of the propertys estimated remaining economic life or d) the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term is 90% or more of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at the inception date. A capital lease is accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and an incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed as incurred.
Jiantou Group has no capital leases for any of the periods stated herein. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Jiantou Group recorded total rental expense of US$216,823 (2006: US$80,612; 2007: US$200,581).
(w) Property warranty
Jiantou Xinyuan and its subsidiary provide customers with warranties which cover major defects of building structure and certain fittings and facilities of properties sold as stipulated in the relevant sales contracts. The warranty period varies from two months to three years, depending on different property components the warranty covers. Jiantou Group constantly estimates potential costs for materials and labor with regard to warranty-type claims expected to be incurred subsequent to the delivery of a property. Reserves are determined based on historical data and trends with respect to similar property types and geographical areas. The Jiantou Group constantly monitors the warranty reserve and makes adjustments to its pre-existing warranties, if any, in order to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available. The Jiantou Group may seek further recourse against its contractors or any related third parties if it can be proved that the faults are caused by them. In addition, Jiantou Group also withholds up to 5% of the contract cost from sub-contractors for periods of 2 to 5 years. These amounts are included in current liabilities, and are only paid to the extent that there has been no warranty claim against the Jiantou Group relating to the work performed or materials supplied by the subcontractors. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, the Jiantou Group had not recognized any warranty liability or incurred any warranty costs in excess of the amount retained from subcontractors.
(x) Effect of change in estimate
Revisions in estimated gross profit margins related to percentage of completion revenues are made in the period in which circumstances requiring the revisions become known. During 2008, two real estate development projects with gross profits recognized in 2007 had changes in their estimated gross profit margins. As a result of these changes of gross profit, net income in the year ended December 31, 2008 increased by US$0.8 million
(y) Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinationsa replacement of FASB Statement No.141, or SFAS 141(R). SFAS 141(R) applies to all transactions or events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses, including those affected without the transfer of consideration, for example, by contract or through a lapse of minority veto rights. SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the full fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction (whether a full or partial acquisition); establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; requires expensing of most transaction and restructuring costs; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 15, 2008, and early adoption is not permitted. Jiantou Xinyuan is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 141(R) on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition. However, management does not currently foresee that the adoption will have a material impact on the Jiantou Groups results of operations or financial position.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statement-an amendment of ARB No.51, or SFAS 160. SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in a consolidated entity which should be reported as equity in the parents consolidated financial statement. SFAS 160 requires a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of equity attributable to noncontrolling interests and disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of those amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests, eliminating the past practice of reporting these amounts as an adjustment in arriving at consolidated net income. SFAS 160 requires a parent to recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires the parent to attribute to noncontrolling interests their share of losses even if such attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling interests balance within the parents equity accounts. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and requires retroactive application of the presentation and disclosure requirements for all periods presented. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of SFAS 160 has no material impact on Jiantou Xinyuans consolidated results of operation or financial position except for reporting changes related to reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of equity attributable to non-controlling interests and disclosures.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 and FSP No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which collectively remove certain leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS 157 and partially delay the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active, which clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in an inactive market and illustrates how an entity would determine fair value when the market for a financial asset is not active. The adoption of FSP No. 157-1, FSP No. 157-2 and FSP No. 157-3 has no material impact on Jiantou Xinyuans consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, or SFAS 161. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 161 requires entities to provide greater transparency about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management does not currently foresee that the adoption will have a material impact on the Jiantou Groups results of operations or financial position.
In November 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-7 (EITF 08-7), Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets. EITF 08-7 applies to defensive intangible assets, which are acquired intangible assets that the acquirer does not intend to actively use but intends to hold to prevent its competitors from obtaining access to them. As these assets are separately identifiable, EITF 08-7 requires an acquiring entity to account for defensive intangible assets as a separate unit of accounting. Defensive intangible assets must be recognized at fair value in accordance with SFAS 141R and SFAS 157. EITF 08-7 is effective for defensive intangible assets acquired in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Jiantou Group is currently assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements. However, management does not currently foresee that the adoption will have a material impact on Jiantou Groups results of operations or financial position.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities (FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN46 (R)-8), which amends Statement of Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilitiesa replacement for FASB Statement No. 125 (SFAS 140) to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transferors continuing involvement with transferred financial assets and amends FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entitiesan interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46R) to require public enterprises, including sponsors that have a variable interest in a variable interest entity (VIE), to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with VIEs. FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R) is effective for the Companys financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. The adoption of FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R)-8 did not impact the Companys results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS No. 167). SFAS No. 167 revises the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE to be more qualitative in nature and requires companies to more frequently reassess whether they must consolidate a VIE. SFAS No. 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. Jiantou Group does not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Jiantou Group holds certain cash balances in restricted deposit accounts at the relevant banks (see Note 2 (f)). Jiantou Group, in turn, has a right to withhold transfer of title to the customer until outstanding amounts are fully settled.
7. Income taxes
(a) Corporate income tax (CIT)
Jiantou Group is subject to PRC corporate income tax on taxable income based on their statutory accounts adjusted in accordance with relevant PRC Income Tax Law. The applicable PRC income tax rate was 33% before January 1, 2008 and 25% after January 1, 2008.

(b) LAT
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, prior to September 2004, the Jiantou Groups local tax authority in Zhengzhou city did not impose the regulation on real estate companies in its area of administration. Since September, 2004, the local tax authority has levied the LAT at the rate of 0.8% or 1.0% against total cash receipts from sales of real estate properties, rather than according to the progressive rates. In early 2007, the national tax authorities clarified the regulations to require the full payment of LAT in accordance with the progressive rates.
For the these years ended December 31, 2008, the Jiantou Group has made full provision for LAT with respect to properties sold up to December 31, 2008 in accordance with the requirements set forth in the relevant PRC tax laws and regulations.

Deferred tax assets have been netted against deferred tax liabilities by current or non-current classification, as the reversal of the underlying temporary differences is expected to occur in the same future periods. The deferred tax assets and liabilities will reverse when the originating temporary differences reverse.
(d) Uncertainty in Income Tax
On January 1, 2007, the Jiantou Group adopted FIN 48. There was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings resulting from the adoption of FIN 48, as no unrecognized tax benefit existed before January 1, 2007. Meanwhile, the Company did not identify any liability of unrecognized tax benefit as of December 31, 2007.
However, in accordance with the provisions of the PRC tax law, the local tax authority of Zhengzhou City concluded a deemed profit method is a better measure of income tax liability for companies in the real estate industry located in that province than the statutory taxable income method. Hence, Jiantou Group is required to be levied by the deemed profit method instead of the previous statutory taxable income method since January 1, 2008. Under the deemed profit method, the local tax authority levies income tax based on 25% of an arbitrary deemed profit of 15% of total cash receipts of real estate property companies, rather than based on 25% of statutory taxable income. The local tax authority is entitled to re-evaluate prior years income taxes assessed under the deemed profit method, upon receipt of audited accounts or upon completion of specific development projects. Although the local tax authority of Zhengzhou City has not indicated that it will re-evaluate prior years, the Jiantou Group believes that 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 to apply the deemed profit method. Because of the uncertainty surrounding whether or not these tax years will be re-evaluated and the taxes adjusted, the difference between the taxes due based on taxable income calculated according to statutory taxable income method and the taxes due based on the deemed profit method has been recorded as an additional receivable or payable and has been included in unrecognized tax benefits. Management believes if the local tax authority of Zhengzhou City or a higher tax authority were to re-evaluate any of these tax years, Jiantou Group would be required to pay additional taxes due, or would be entitled to receive refund of excess taxes paid, based on the accumulated difference between the amounts paid under the deemed profit method and the amounts due under the PRC statutory taxable income method, which leads to the unrecognized tax benefit.

The Jiantou Group did not have any statutory taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2008. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize any unrecognized tax benefits or any associated receivable or payable as of December 31, 2008.
(e) The impact of the New Corporate Income Tax Law
During the 5th Session of the 10th National Peoples Congress, which was concluded on March 16, 2007, the PRC Corporate Income Tax Law (the New Corporate Income Tax Law) was approved and became effective on January 1, 2008. The New Corporate Income Tax Law introduces a wide range of changes which include, but are not limited to, the unification of the income tax rate for domestic-invested and foreign-invested enterprises at 25% and a withholding tax on dividend distributions up to a rate of 20%. As a result of the new law, the Jiantou Group remeasured its deferred tax items anticipated to reverse in 2008 and later years at the new 25% tax rate at the year end of 2007. The impact of this remeasurement is reflected as a reduction of income tax expense of US$1,538,851 as of December 31, 2007.

Contingencies
As at December 31, 2008, the Jiantou Group provided guarantees of US$64,956,691 (2007:US$29,069,627), in favor of their customers in respect of mortgage loans granted by banks to such customers for their purchases of Jiantou Groups properties where the underlying real estate ownership certificates can only be provided to the banks on a time delay manner due to administrative procedures in the PRC. Pursuant to the terms of the guarantees, upon default in mortgage payments by these purchasers, the Jiantou Group is responsible to repay the outstanding mortgage principals together with the accrued interest and penalty owed by the defaulted purchasers to the banks and the Jiantou Group is entitled to take over the legal titles and possession of the related properties. Jiantou Groups guarantee period starts from the dates of grant of the relevant mortgage loans and ends upon issuance of real estate ownership certificates which will generally be available within six to twelve months after the purchasers take possession of the relevant properties.
Concentrations
The Jiantou Group uses various suppliers and sells to a wide range of customers. No single supplier or customer accounted for 10% of revenue or construction costs for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, and 2008.
12. Subsequent Event
On September 25, 2009, the owners of Jiantou Xinyuan entered into an agreement whereby Henan Xinyuan will purchase from Construction Investment Company and Jiantou Project Consulting (collectively known as the Sellers) the 55% interest in Jiantou Xinyuan not currently owned by Henan Xinyuan. The purchase price for the 55% interest is approximately US$4 million. As part of the transaction, Jiantou Xinyuan will make distributions of approximately US$26.7 million to the Sellers and approximately US$21.8 million to Henan Xinyuan prior to completion of the transaction. The closing of the transfer of the 55% equity interest is subject to, among other customary closing conditions, a public listing and auction process under PRC laws and regulations governing transfers of state-owned assets, unless the Sellers can obtain a government exemption from such process.

The registered capital of Jiantou Xinyuan was US$1,254,865 (RMB 10,000,000), which contributed by Construction Investment Company, Henan Xinyuan and Jiantou Construction Consulting at 50%, 45% and 5%, respectively. Henan Xinyuan is a wholly owned subsidiary of Xinyuan Real Estate, Ltd.
On July 7, 2006, Zhengzhou Jiantou Xinyuan Lianhe Real Estate Development Co., Ltd (Xinyuan Lianhe) was incorporated under the laws of PRC by Jiantou Xinyuan and Zhengzhou Dahelongjin Investment Co., Ltd at 52% and 48%, respectively.
Jiantou Xinyuan and its subsidiary (collectively the Jiantou Group) are principally engaged in residential real estate development and sales.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of presentation and consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Jiantou Group. All inter-company transactions and balances between Jiantou Xinyuan and its subsidiary have been eliminated upon consolidation.
These financial statements have not been audited but reflect those adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The year-end consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the year-end consolidated financial statements and related notes. The results of operation of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Jiantou Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out from the Jiantou Group. Where there is a loss of control of a subsidiary or other controlled entity, the consolidated financial statements include the results for the part of the reporting year during which the Jiantou Group has control.
(b) Use of Estimates
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 selection of the useful lives of property and equipment, provision necessary for contingent liabilities, fair values, revenue recognition, taxes, budgeted costs and other similar charges. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(c) Fair value of financial instruments
Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other deposits and prepayments, amounts due to related parties, amount due to shareholders, other receivables, accounts payable, customer deposits, other payables and accrued liabilities, and borrowings. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other deposits and prepayments, amounts due from related parties, amounts due to related parties, amount due to shareholders, other receivables, accounts payable, customer deposits, other payables and accrued liabilities, and short-term bank borrowings approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Jiantou Group is exposed to credit risk for financial assets and its maximum amount of loss in the event of non performance by the counterparty is the recorded amount. Jiantou Group generally does not require collateral for its financial assets.

ZHENGZHOU JIANTOU XINYUAN REAL ESTATE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED (Continued)
(All amounts stated in US$, except for number of shares data)
Long-term bank borrowings bear a floating rate of interest. As the stated interest rate reflects the market rate, the carrying value of the bank borrowing approximates its fair value.
(d) Foreign currency translation
Jiantou Groups financial information is presented in US dollars. The functional currency of Jiantou Xinyuan is Renminbi (RMB), the currency of the PRC. The functional currency of Jiantou Xinyuans subsidiary is also RMB. Transactions at Jiantou Xinyuan and its subsidiary which are denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the exchange rate quoted by the PBOC prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in a currency other than that RMB are included in consolidated statements of operations as exchange gains.
The consolidated financial statements of Jiantou Xinyuans subsidiary have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. 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 and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders equity.
The 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 US dollars at the rates used in translation.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state-owned and private banks within the PRC. Total cash in banks at June 30, 2009 amounted to US$46,410,480 (December 31, 2008: US$31,456,157), of which no deposits are covered by insurance. Jiantou Group has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Jiantou Group considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Jiantou Group maintains bank accounts in the PRC. Jiantou Group does not maintain any bank accounts in the United States. All bank balances are denominated in RMB.
(f) Restricted cash
Jiantou Group is required to maintain certain deposits with banks that provide mortgage loans to Jiantou Group and Jiantou Groups customers in order to purchase residential units. These balances are subject to withdrawal restrictions and totaled US$816,199 as of June 30, 2009 (December 31, 2008: US$968,102). As of June 30, 2009, Jiantou Group also held US$186 (December 31, 2008: US$264,194) in its restricted cash accounts, representing funds received from loans, which were designated to finance permitted project development expenditures that are subject to approval by the lender. These deposits are not covered by insurance. The Jiantou Group has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
(g) Real estate property development completed and under development
Real estate properties consist of finished residential unit sites and residential unit sites under development. Jiantou Group leases the land for the residential unit sites under land use right leases with various terms from the PRC. 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, 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 value of units to the estimated total sales value times the total project costs.

ZHENGZHOU JIANTOU XINYUAN REAL ESTATE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED (Continued)
(All amounts stated in US$, except for number of shares data)
Costs of amenities transferred to buyers are allocated as common costs of the project that are allocated to specific units as a component of total construction costs. For amenities retained by Jiantou Group, costs in excess of the related fair value of the amenity are also treated as common costs. Results of operations of amenities retained by Jiantou Group are included in current operating results.
(h) Revenue recognition
Real estate sales are reported in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.
Revenue from the sales of development properties where the construction period is 12 months or less is recognized by the full accrual method at the time of the closing of an individual unit sale. This occurs when title to or possession of the property is transferred to the buyer. A sale is not considered consummated until (a) the parties are bound by the terms of a contract, (b) all consideration has been exchanged, (c) any permanent financing of which the seller is responsible has been arranged, (d) all conditions precedent to closing have been performed, (e) the seller does not have substantial continuing involvement with the property, and (f) the usual risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Further, the buyers initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property, and the buyers receivable, if any, is not subject to future subordination. Sales transactions not meeting all the conditions of the full accrual method are accounted for using the deposit method in which all costs are capitalized as incurred, and payments received from the buyer are recorded as a deposit liability.
Revenue and profit from the sale of development properties where the construction period is more than 12 months is recognized by the percentage of completion method on the sale of individual units when the following conditions are met:
a. Construction is beyond a preliminary stage;
b. The buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for non-delivery of the unit;
c. Sufficient units have already been sold to assure that the entire property will not revert to rental property;
d. Sales prices are collectible; and
e. Aggregate sales proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated.
If any of the above criteria is not met, proceeds are accounted for as deposits until the criteria are met and/or the sale consummated.
Under the percentage of completion method, revenues from units sold and related costs are recognized over the course of the construction period, based on the completion progress of a project. In relation to any project, revenue is determined by calculating the ratio of incurred costs, including land use rights costs and construction costs, to total estimated costs and applying that ratio to the contracted sales amounts.
Cost of sales is recognized by determining the ratio of contracted sales during the period to total estimated sales value, and applying that ratio to the incurred costs. Current period amounts are calculated based on the difference between the life-to-date project totals and the previously recognized amounts.
Any losses incurred or forecast to occur on real estate transaction are recognized in the period in which the loss is first anticipated.
Real estate lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the tenancy agreements. Business tax of 5% and depreciation cost of the property are recorded as the cost of rental income.
(i) Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable consists of balances due from customers for the sale of residential units. In cases where the customers deposit more than 50% of the total purchase price, Jiantou Group may defer the remaining purchase price. These deferred balances are unsecured, bear no interest and are due within six months from the date of the sale.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED (Continued)
(All amounts stated in US$, except for number of shares data)
Accounts receivable are reviewed periodically as to whether their carrying value has become impaired. Jiantou Group considers the assets to be impaired if the collectability of the balances become doubtful. As of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009, the allowance for doubtful debts was US$ nil and US$ nil, respectively.
(j) Other receivables
Other receivables consist of various cash advances to unrelated companies and individuals with which Jiantou Group has business relationships.
Other receivables are reviewed periodically as to whether their carrying value has become impaired. Jiantou Group considers the assets to be impaired if the collectability of the balances becomes doubtful. As of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009, the allowance for debts was US$ nil and US$ nil, respectively.
(k) Customer deposits
Customer deposits consist of amounts received from customers relating to the sale of residential units. Customers will generally obtain permanent financing for the purchase of their residential unit prior to the completion of the project. The lending institution will provide the funding to the Jiantou Group upon the completion of the financing rather than the completion of the project. Jiantou Group receives these funds and recognizes them as a current liability until the revenue can be recognized.
(l) Other payables
Other payables consist of balances for non-construction costs with unrelated companies and individuals with which the Jiantou Group has business relationships. These amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and generally are short term in nature.
(m) Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Buildings |
20 years | |
Vehicles |
5 years | |
Furniture and fixtures |
5 years | |
Software |
5 years |
Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expense as incurred unless such expenditures extend the useful life or represent a betterment, in which case they are capitalized.
(n) Impairment of long-lived assets
Jiantou Group reviews its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, Jiantou Group measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Jiantou Group would recognize an impairment loss based on the fair value of the assets. There was no impairment loss recognized for long-lived assets for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009.
(o) Capitalized interest
Jiantou Group capitalizes interest as a component of building construction costs in accordance with SFAS No. 34, Capitalization of Interest Cost.
As a result of the total interest costs capitalized during the period, the interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 was as follows:
June 30, | ||||||
2008 | 2009 | |||||
Interest on bank loans |
2,249,246 | 1,437,606 | ||||

(p) Retirement benefits
Regulations in the PRC require the Jiantou Group to contribute to a defined contribution retirement plan for all permanent employees. Pursuant to the mandatory requirement from the local authorities, the retirement pension insurance, unemployment insurance, health insurance and housing fund were established for the employees during the term they are employed. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, the level of contribution to these funds for each employee was determined at 38% of their average salary determined by the Social Welfare Bureau. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, the Jiantou Group recorded expense in the amount of US$78,216 and US$88,791.
(q) Distribution of earnings and reserve fund
In accordance with the PRC Company Law, PRC entities are required to transfer 10% of their profit after tax, as determined with PRC accounting standards and regulations, to statutory surplus reserve (the SSR) until such reserve reaches 50% of the registered capital of the entities.
Subject to certain restrictions set out in the PRC Company Law, the SSR may be distributed to stockholders in the form of share bonus issued to increase share capital, provided that the remaining balance after the capitalization is not less than 25% of the registered capital.
(r) Income taxes
Jiantou Group accounts for income tax using the balance sheet method. 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, as well as unutilized net operating losses. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Jiantou Group is able to realize their benefits, or that future utilization is uncertain.
Jiantou Group adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. Interest and penalties arising from underpayment of income taxes are recognized according to the relevant tax law. The amount of interest expense to be recognized is computed by applying the applicable statutory rate of interest to the difference between the tax position recognized and the amount previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interest recognized in accordance with FIN 48 is classified in the financial statements as interest expense, while penalties recognized in accordance with FIN 48 are classified in the financial statements as other expenses. Please refer to Note 7, Income Taxes for additional information relating to the adoption of FIN 48 and its impact on the current period financial results.
(s) Land Appreciation Tax (LAT)
In accordance with the relevant taxation laws for real estate companies of the provinces in which the entities operate in the PRC, the local tax authorities levy LAT based on progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value, being the proceeds of sales of properties less deductible expenditures, including borrowing costs and all property development expenditures. LAT is prepaid on customer deposits and is expensed when the related revenue is recognized, as explained at Note 2(h).
(t) Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Jiantou Groups only components of comprehensive income during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 were net income and the foreign currency translation adjustment. An analysis of comprehensive income is as follows:
June 30, 2008 | June 30, 2009 | |||
Net income |
17,389,195 | 7,891,358 | ||

For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, the Jiantou Group recorded advertising expenses of US$769,037 and US$312,304, respectively.
(v) Leases
In accordance with SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, leases are classified at the inception date as either a capital lease or an operating lease. For the lessee, a lease is a capital lease if any of the following conditions exist: a) ownership is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term, b) there is a bargain purchase option, c) the lease term is at least 75% of the propertys estimated remaining economic life or d) the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term is 90% or more of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at the inception date. A capital lease is accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and an incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed as incurred.
Jiantou Group has no capital leases for any of the periods stated herein. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, the Jiantou Group recorded total rental expense of US$141,010 and US$84,956, respectively.
(w) Property warranty
The Jiantou Group provides customers with warranties which cover major defects of building structure and certain fittings and facilities of properties sold as stipulated in the relevant sales contracts. The warranty period varies from two months to three years, depending on different property components the warranty covers. Jiantou Group constantly estimates potential costs for materials and labor with regard to warranty-type claims expected to be incurred subsequent to the delivery of a property. Reserves are determined based on historical data and trends with respect to similar property types and geographical areas. The Jiantou Group constantly monitors the warranty reserve and makes adjustments to its pre-existing warranties, if any, in order to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available. The Jiantou Group may seek further recourse against its contractors or any related third parties if it can be proved that the faults are caused by them. In addition, Jiantou Group also withholds up to 5% of the contract cost from sub-contractors for periods of 2 to 5 years. These amounts are included in current liabilities, and are only paid to the extent that there has been no warranty claim against the Jiantou Group relating to the work performed or materials supplied by the subcontractors. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, the Jiantou Group had not recognized any warranty liability or incurred any warranty costs in excess of the amount retained from subcontractors.
(x) Effect of change in estimate
Revisions in estimated gross profit margins related to percentage of completion revenues are made in the period in which circumstances requiring the revisions become known. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, four real estate development projects (Zhengzhou City Mansion, Zhengzhou International Plaza, Zhengzhou International City Garden Phase II and Zhengzhou Yipin Xiangshan Phase I) with gross profits recognized in 2008 had changes in their estimated gross profit margins. As of June 30, 2009, each of these projects has a percentage of completion at 50% or more. As the gross floor area sales and the selling price showed a rising trend during the six months ended June 30, 2009, Jiantou Xinyuan revised upwards its prior estimates related to selling prices and total estimated sales values, which lead to decrease of the percentage sold and thus a decrease in the recognized costs. As a result of these changes of gross profit, net income in six months ended June 30, 2009 increased by US$1.9 million.

(y) Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160 (SFAS 160), Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. The standard changes the accounting for non-controlling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements, including the requirements to classify non-controlling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders equity, and the elimination of minority interest accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to non-controlling interests reported as part of consolidated earning. Additionally, SFAS 160 revises the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parents controlling ownership interest. SFAS 160 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Adoption of SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009 did not materially impact Jiantous computation of net income allocable to common stockholders and earnings per share allocable to common stockholders. Jiantou has reclassified the non-controlling interest of its subsidiary from the mezzanine section of its consolidated balance sheet to equity. This reclassification totaled US$2,967,041 and US$2,471,398 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 (SFAS 165), Subsequent Events, to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events. SFAS 165 renames the two types of subsequent events as recognized subsequent events or non-recognized subsequent events and modifies the definition of the evaluation period for subsequent events as events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued. This will require entities to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date (the issued date for public companies). SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on Jiantou Xinyuans financial statement disclosures (see Note 13 Subsequent Events).
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4 (FSP FAS 157-4), Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a material impact on Jiantou Groups consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1), Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 requires a publicly traded company to include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 are effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 did not have a material impact on Jiantou Groups consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In April 2009, the FASB released FASB Staff Position No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 (FSP FAS 115-2/124-2), Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. FSP FAS 115-2/124-2 was issued contemporaneously with FSP FAS 157-4 and FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1. These statements introduced new disclosure requirements affecting both debt and equity securities and extend the disclosure requirements to interim periods including disclosure of the cost basis of securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity and provides further specification of major security types. FSP FAS 115-2/124-2 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-2/124-2 did not have a material impact on Jiantou Groups consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS No. 167). SFAS No. 167 revises the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) to be more qualitative in nature and requires companies to more frequently reassess whether they must consolidate a VIE. SFAS No. 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. Jiantou Group does not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Customer deposits are typically funded up to 70%~80% by mortgage loans made by banks to the customers. Until the customer obtains legal title to the property, the bank has a right to seek reimbursement from Jiantou Group for any defaults by the customers. Jiantou Group holds certain cash balances in restricted deposit accounts at the relevant banks (see Note 2 (f)). Jiantou Group, in turn, has a right to withhold transfer of title to the customer until outstanding amounts are fully settled.

7. Income taxes
For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Jiantou Group recognized an income tax provision of US$14.8 million and US$4.0 million, respectively, and Jiantou Groups effective tax rate for such periods was 46.0% and 35.5%, respectively.
As of June 30, 2009, Jiantou Group had deferred tax liabilities of approximately US$12.4 million (December 31, 2008: US$14.0 million) from the tax effects of temporary differences.
In accordance with the provisions of the PRC tax law, the local tax authority of Zhengzhou City has concluded a deemed profit method is a better measure of income tax liability for companies in the real estate industry located in that province than the statutory taxable income method. Hence, Jiantou Group has been levied by deemed profit method since January 1, 2008. Under the deemed profit method, the local tax authority levies income tax based on 25% of an arbitrary deemed profit of 15% of total cash receipts of real estate property companies, rather than based on 25% of statutory taxable income. The local tax authority is entitled to re-evaluate prior years income taxes assessed under the deemed profit method, upon receipt of audited accounts or upon completion of specific development projects. Although the local tax authority of Zhengzhou City has not indicated that it will re-evaluate prior years, the Jiantou Group believes that 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 to apply the deemed profit method. Because of the uncertainty surrounding whether or not these tax years will be re-evaluated and the taxes adjusted, the difference between the taxes due based on taxable income calculated according to statutory taxable income method and the taxes due based on the deemed profit method has been recorded as an additional receivable or payable and has been included in unrecognized tax benefits. Management believes if the local tax authority of Zhengzhou City or a higher tax authority were to re-evaluate any of these tax years, Jiantou Group would be required to pay additional taxes due, or would be entitled to receive refund of excess taxes paid, based on the accumulated difference between the amounts paid under the deemed profit method and the amounts due under the PRC statutory taxable income method, which leads to the unrecognized tax benefit.
The Jiantou Group did not have any statutory taxable income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009. Accordingly, Jiantou Xinyuan did not recognize any unrecognized tax benefits or any associated receivable or payable as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009.

13. Subsequent Event
On September 25, 2009, the Company, through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary Henan Xinyuan entered into an agreement with Zhengzhou General Construction Investment Co., Ltd. and Zhengzhou Jiantou Engineering Co., Ltd. (collectively known as the Sellers) to purchase from the Sellers their 55% equity interest in Jiantou Xinyuan not currently owned by the Company. The purchase price for the 55% equity interest is approximately US$4 million. As part of the transaction, Jiantou Xinyuan will make distributions of approximately US$26.7 million to the Sellers and approximately US$21.8 million to Henan Xinyuan prior to the completion of the transaction. As the Sellers are state-owned enterprises, the transaction is deemed as a transfer of state-owned assets, and the closing of the transfer of the 55% equity interest is subject to, among other customary closing conditions, a public listing and auction process under PRC laws and regulations governing transfers of state-owned assets, unless the Sellers can obtain a government exemption from such process.
Pursuant to SFAS 165, Jiantou Xinyuan has reviewed all subsequent events and transactions that occurred through October 28, 2009, which is the date Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd.s Form 6-K/A was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Exhibit 99.3
Unaudited pro forma combined financial information
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based on our historical consolidated financial statements and Zhengzhou Jiantou Xinyuan Real Estate Co. Ltd.s (Jiantou Xinyuan) historical consolidated financial statements and adjusted to give effect to the probable acquisition of the remaining 55% equity interest in Jiantou Xinyuan.
The purchase price set forth in the acquisition agreement is approximately US$4 million. The acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Management has preliminarily determined the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on its knowledge of Jiantou Xinyuan as a 45% owner as well as its knowledge of the real estate market in which Jiantou Xinyuan operates. However, as the acquisition has not been consummated as of October 28, 2009, the valuation has not been finalized and accordingly, management has not finalized its accounting for the acquisition. Therefore, all amounts and the preliminary allocation of the total acquisition price to the fair value of the acquired assets less liabilities assumed as described in Note 1, are based on managements preliminary estimates and are subject to change.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2009 gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on June 30, 2009. The Companys unaudited consolidated balance sheet information was derived from its financial statements included in Amendment No. 2 to its Registration Statement on Form F-3, filed on October 21, 2009.

The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2009 give effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2008. The Companys consolidated statement of operations information for the year ended December 31, 2008 was derived from the consolidated statement of operations included in Amendment No. 1 to its 2008 Annual Report on Form 20-F. The Companys consolidated statement of operations information for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was derived from its financial statements included in Amendment No. 2 to its Registration Statement on Form F-3, filed on October 21, 2009.

These estimates and assumptions are preliminary and have been made solely for the purposes of developing the pro forma financial information. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations or financial position that would actually have been achieved had the transaction been completed for the periods presented, or that may be obtained in the future. This unaudited pro forma financial information is based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and Jiantou Xinyuan and notes thereto, as well as the unaudited interim financial statements of the Company and Jiantou Xinyuan. The pro forma adjustments are based on the information available at the time of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial statements.

Note 1- Business Combination Overview and Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price
On September 30, 2009, Xinyuans wholly owned subsidiary, Henan Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. (Xinyuan China), signed an agreement to acquire the remaining 55% equity interest in Jiantou Xinyuan it does not currently own. Upon the completion of such acquisition, Xinyuan will become the sole shareholder of Jiantou Xinyuan.
Jiantou Xinyuan is a joint venture among Zhengzhou General Construction Investment Company (Jiantou Construction), which holds 50% of Jiantou Xinyuans registered capital; Zhengzhou Jiantou Project Consulting Co., Ltd. (Engineering Consulting Company), which holds 5% of Jiantou Xinyuans registered capital; and Xinyuan China, which holds 45% of Jiantou Xinyuans registered capital. In this proposed acquisition, Xinyuan intends to acquire, through Xinyuan China, the 55% of Jiantou Xinyuans registered capital held by Jiantou Construction and Engineering Consulting Company (the Acquired Shares). Given that Jiantou Construction and Engineering Consulting Company are state-owned enterprises, this proposed acquisition is subject to government approval, including approval procedures for transfer of state-owned assets, including a public listing and auction process, unless exempted therefrom, and is expected to close by the end of 2009.
Pursuant to the agreement, Jiantou Xinyuan will distribute dividends of approximately US$26.7 million to Jiantou Construction and Engineering Consulting Company in the aggregate and approximately US$21.8 million to Xinyuan China prior to completion of the transaction. Xinyuan China will pay Jiantou Construction and Engineering Consulting Company approximately US$4 million in cash in the aggregate as consideration for the Acquired Shares.
Preliminary Fair Value Determination and Allocation of Consideration Transferred
The acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Management has preliminarily estimated the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. However, as the acquisition has not been consummated as of October 28, 2009, the valuation has not been finalized and accordingly, management has not finalized its accounting for the acquisition. Therefore, all amounts and the preliminary allocation of the total acquisition price to the fair value of the acquired assets less liabilities assumed as described in Note 1, are based on managements preliminary estimates and are subject to change.
Following is a summary of the preliminary estimates of the acquisition price and its allocation to the fair value of the acquired assets less assumed liabilities at June 30, 2009:
