- Revenue Guidance raised to $47.5 million - $49.0 million - Fully
diluted earnings to reach $0.39 to $0.40 per share HANZHONG, China,
Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China HGS Real Estate Inc.
(OTC:CAHS) (BULLETIN BOARD: CAHS) ("China HGS" or "the Company"), a
leading residential property developer in Hanzhong, China, today
raised its financial guidance for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2010, signaling stronger than expected growth in the local
residential property market. China HGS expects revenues for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 to be approximately 47.5
million (RMB325 million) to $49.0 million (RMB335 million) and net
income of $15.5 million (RMB105 million) to $16.0 million (RMB110
million), higher than the Company's earlier guidance of $46.4
million (RMB317.0 million) and $13.0 million (RMB88.7 million),
respectively. The Company expects fully diluted earnings to be in
the range of $0.39 to $0.40 per share, based on current weighted
average shares outstanding. China HGS's guidance has been increased
to reflect stronger than expected growth in ASPs (Average Selling
Prices), which increased approximately $14.6 (RMB100) to $43.9
(RMB300) per square meter in January 2010, based on a complete
evaluation of its major projects in Hanzhong City and Yang County.
"During the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, we are experiencing
robust growth in ASP's of our real estate projects and expect these
prices to continue to trend higher in 2010," commented Mr. Xiaojun
Zhu, chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China HGS. "The key
growth drivers for rapid growth in Hanzhong have remained intact
and prices for residential properties have steadily increased since
2009. Most importantly, we have not witnessed significant
speculation in the local real estate market. While the Chinese
government has recently tightened the monetary policy, we believe
it largely targets tier I and tier II cities and will be of minimal
impact to our operations. We are confident in our ability to
achieve our guidance for fiscal year 2010." About China HGS Real
