Mr. Xiaohong Feng, Chief Executive Officer of China Housing & Land Development said, "We are pleased with our third quarter sales results. Our performance was highlighted by strong sequential apartment unit sales and ASP growth in our JunJing II Phase Two project. We are also encouraged that this strong sales momentum continued throughout the recent Chinese national holiday week celebrated at the beginning of October." "Our performance is a result of increased stability in Xi'an's real estate market as well as our ability to design and develop residential units that are attractive to a growing number of working professionals in the region. We have a sustainable growth plan in place to capitalize on residential housing demand in Xi'an and look forward to fully updating investors on our progress when we report our third quarter financial results in November 2009."
