Mr. Pingji Lu, China Housing's Chairman, commented, "Our second quarter results were respectable given the challenging market environment. JunJing II Phase Two and Puhua Project continued to serve as the main revenue drivers in our business. Our average selling price trends were favorable in the second quarter increasing 12.2% sequentially and 27.3% from our prior year second quarter largely due to an improved product mix associated with our Puhua Project. Our project sales direction is trending more toward slightly higher end projects such as Puhua which can result in ongoing ASP and gross margin improvements in the coming quarters."
"We are also encouraged with several important initiatives that can benefit our business performance moving forward. This includes a central government program that offers lower interest rates to first time apartment buyers and upgraders. We also hope to benefit from our establishment of a road show marketing team that travels to nearby provinces to target high income working professionals to purchase our apartments in Xi'an. Industry research shows that average selling prices and transaction volume in the Xi'an market continued to remain stable."
Total revenue in the second quarter of 2010 increased to $36.6 million from $33.6 million in the first quarter of 2010 and $22.7 million in the second quarter of 2009. In the second quarter of 2010, most of the Company's revenue came from its JunJing II Phase Two and Puhua project. Contract sales totaled $38.4 million of residential and commercial unit sales from its JunJing II Phase Two, Puhua project and other completed projects, representing a total of GFA 46,459 square meters.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $10.3 million, representing an increase of 43.3 percent from $7.2 million in the same period of 2009. The gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 28.2 percent compared with 31.7 percent in the same period of 2009 and 19.3 percent in the first quarter of 2010. Due to the increased sales of Jun Jing II Phase Two and Puhua project, gross profit increased as a result of increased revenue. Our gross margin decreased 3.5% compared with same period in 2009, but increased 8.9% compared with first quarter of 2010, as we sold fewer parking lots during the first quarter of 2010, which typically have a 3%-6% gross profit margin.
SG&A expense was $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2010 and $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2009. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expenses increased to 10.3% from 7.6% in the first quarter of 2010 and 8.6% in the second quarter of 2009. The increase in SG&A is associated with the increased sales and increased projects compared with the same period of 2009. The increased SG&A mainly includes marketing and travel expenses associated with Puhua project, as the Company started our marketing road show in other provinces in Western China. The initiation of JunJing III also increased administrative and marketing expenses
Operating income in the second quarter of 2010 increased to $5.7 million from $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2010 and $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2009.
Net income attributable to China Housing in the second quarter of 2010 was $5.6 million, or $0.17 per basic share and $0.13 per diluted share. Excluding a $1.4 million, or $0.04 per share gain associated with the revaluation of derivatives and warrants, net income was $4.2 million, or $0.13 per basic share and $0.13 per diluted share. This performance compares to a net loss of ($10.5) million, or ($0.34) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2009, which includes a ($13.1) million, or ($0.42) non-cash charge associated with the revaluation of derivatives and warrants.

2010 Outlook
"Our original full year guidance projection included construction expansion into surrounding provinces. However, central government policies have led to more hesitation in the broader real estate market which has diminished our plans to expand into other nearby provinces at present. This pullback directly resulted in a reduction of our annual revenue growth expectations for this year. We continue to view other real estate projects outside of Xi'an as compelling investment opportunities and will evaluate further expansion initiatives outside of Xi'an as overall real estate market sentiment continues to improve.
Within the Xi'an region, we continue to be quite active with our project plans. In addition to revenue from our primary projects-JunJing II Phase Two and Puhua Project, our plan related to our two other projects remains on schedule. We expect that JunJing Garden III and Park Plaza will generate pre- sales in September and in the fourth quarter of 2010, respectively. As market conditions continue to stabilize, we believe our business will continue to pick up, particularly in the fourth quarter. As we look into 2011, the growth in our business should go forward favorably as we move further away from the 2010 government policies that impacted the entire real estate industry and benefit us from the addition of new projects to our schedule." concluded Mr. Lu.
2010 total contract sales are expected to reach US$168 to $205 million, a 62%-97% increase compared to $103.9 million in 2009. Total recognized revenue in 2010 is expected to reach US$135 to $165 million, a 56%-91% increase compared to $86.6 million in 2009. The Company is reporting contract sales estimates compared to revenue as it is not subject to percentage of completion alterations.
