NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTITIVIES

China Commercial Credit, Inc. (“CCC” or “the Company”) is a holding company that was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 19, 2011.

Wujiang Luxiang Rural Microcredit Co., Ltd (“Wujiang Luxiang”) is a company established under the laws of the PRC on October 21, 2008 and its shareholders consisted of 13 companies established under the laws of the People's Republic of China (“PRC”) and 1 PRC individual, Mr. Qin Huichun, the Company's CEO (collectively, the "Wujiang Luxiang Shareholders"). The Company is a microcredit company primarily engaged in providing direct loans and financial guarantee services small-to-medium sized businesses (“SMEs”), farmers and individuals in Wujiang City, Jiangsu Province, PRC.

On August 7, 2012 CCC entered into certain share exchange agreements with 16 PRC individuals, each of whom is the sole shareholder of a British Virgin Island company (collectively “16 BVI entities”) and the 16 BVI entities. These 16 PRC individuals represent the ultimate owners of the Wujiang Luxiang Shareholders.

Upon completion of the share exchange, the 16 PRC individuals, through their respective BVI entities, acquired 7,270,920 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") of CCC in exchange for their agreement to cause the Wujiang Luxiang Shareholders to enter into the VIE Agreements. As a result of the share exchange, the 16 BVI entities became CCC shareholders, who collectively owned approximately 90% of CCC’s total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at the time of the share exchange.

Since at the time of the share exchange neither CCC nor the 16 BVI entities had any operations and only a minor amount of net assets, the share exchange shall be considered as capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination.

The share exchange is recorded as a “reverse recapitalization” equivalent to the issuance of stock to the 16 BVI entities for the net monetary assets of CCC. The accounting for the transaction is identical to a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill is recorded.

Management of the Company looked through the 16 BVI entities and treated the share exchange as a reverse merger between CCC and Wujiang Luxiang for accounting purposes, even though the share exchange was between CCC and the 16 BVI entities, because of the following reasons: (i) neither CCC nor the 16 BVI entities had any operations and only a minor amount of net assets; (ii) the 16 PRC individual, who are the owners of the 16 BVI entities, are the ultimate owners of Wujiang Luxiang, and (iii) the sole purpose of the share exchange was to issue approximately 90% of pre-public offering CCC shares to the ultimate owners of Wujiang Luxiang Shareholders.

VIE AGREEMENTS

Subsequent to the share exchange, on September 26, 2012, the Company through its indirectly wholly owned subsidiary, Wujiang Luxiang Information Technology Consulting Co. Ltd. (“WFOE”), entered into a series of VIE Agreements with Wujiang Luxiang and the Wujiang Luxiang Shareholders. The purpose of the VIE Agreements is solely to give WFOE the exclusive control over Wujiang Luxiang’s management and operations.

The significant terms of the VIE Agreements are summarized below:

Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement

Pursuant to the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement between Wujiang Luxiang and WFOE, WFOE provides Wujiang Luxiang with technical support, consulting services and other management services relating to its day-to-day business operations and management, on an exclusive basis, utilizing its advantages in technology, human resources, and information. Additionally, Wujiang Luxiang grants an irrevocable and exclusive option to WFOE to purchase from Wujiang Luxiang, any or all of its assets, to the extent permitted under the PRC laws. WFOE shall own all intellectual property rights that are developed during the course of the agreement. For services rendered to Wujiang Luxiang by WFOE under the Agreement, the service fee Wujiang Luxiang is obligated to pay shall be calculated based on the time of services rendered multiplied by the corresponding rate, which is approximately equal to the net income of Wujiang Luxiang.

The Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement shall remain in effect for ten years until it is terminated by WFOE with 30-day prior notice. Wujiang Luxiang does not have the right to terminate the agreement unilaterally.

1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTITIVIES (CONTINUED)

Share Pledge Agreement

Under the Share Pledge Agreement between the shareholders of Wujiang Luxiang and WFOE, the various shareholders of Wujiang Luxiang pledged all of their equity interests in Wujiang Luxiang to WFOE to guarantee the performance of Wujiang Luxiang’s obligations under the Business Cooperation Agreement. Under the terms of the Agreement, in the event that Wujiang Luxiang or its shareholders breach their respective contractual obligations under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement, WFOE, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including, but not limited to, the right to collect dividends generated by the pledged equity interests. The shareholders of Wujiang Luxiang also agreed that upon occurrence of any event of default, as set forth in the Share Pledge Agreement, WFOE is entitled to dispose of the pledged equity interest in accordance with applicable PRC laws. The shareholders of Wujiang Luxiang further agree not to dispose of the pledged equity interests or take any actions that would prejudice WFOE’s interest.

Exclusive Option Agreement

Under the Exclusive Option Agreement, the shareholders of Wujiang Luxiang irrevocably granted WFOE (or its designee) an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all of the equity interests in Wujiang Luxiang. The option price is equal to the capital paid in by the Wujiang Luxiang shareholders. The agreement remains effective for a term of ten years and may be renewed at WFOE’s election.

Power of Attorney

Under the Power of Attorney, the shareholders of Wujiang Luxiang authorized WFOE to act on their behalf as their exclusive agent and attorney with respect to all rights as shareholders, including but not limited to: (a) attending shareholders' meetings; (b) exercising all the shareholder's rights, including voting, that shareholders are entitled to under the laws of China and the Articles of Association, including but not limited to the sale or transfer or pledge or disposition of shares in part or in whole; and (c) designating and appointing on behalf of shareholders the legal representative, the executive director, supervisor, the chief executive officer and other senior management members of Wujiang Luxiang.

Timely Reporting Agreement

To ensure Wujiang Luxiang promptly provides all of the information that WFOE and the Company need to file various reports with the SEC, a Timely Reporting Agreement was entered between Wujiang Luxiang and the Company.

Under the Timely Reporting Agreement, Wujiang Luxiang agreed that it is obligated to make its officers and directors available to the Company and promptly provide all information required by the Company so that the Company can file all necessary SEC and other regulatory reports as required.

On September 5, 2013, CCC HK established Pride Financial Leasing (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. (“PFL”) in Jiangsu Province, China. PFL is expected to offer financial leasing of machinery and equipment, transportation vehicles, and medical devices to municipal government agencies, hospitals and SMEs in Jiangsu Province and beyond. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, PFL did not have any operations except for initial organizational activities.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Reclassification

Certain prior year income statement accounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

(b) Reverse Stock Split

On May 20, 2013, the Company completed a 0.7812 to 1 reverse split of its Common Stock. All Common Stock and per share of Common Stock amounts in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been adjusted retroactively for all periods presented to reflect the effects of this action.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

The interim financial information as of September 30, 2013 and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the prospectus filed with the SEC on August 14, 2013 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2013, its results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, as applicable, have been made. The unaudited interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

(d) Interest receivable

Interest on loans receivable is accrued and credited to income as earned. The Company determines a loan is past due status by the number of days that have elapsed since a borrower has failed to make a contractual loan payment. Accrual of interest is generally discontinued when either (i) reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or principal or (ii) when a loan becomes past due by more than 90 days. Additionally, any previously accrued but uncollected interest is reversed. Subsequent recognition of income occurs only to the extent payment is received, subject to management’s assessment of the collectability of the remaining interest and principal. Loans are generally restored to an accrual status when it is no longer delinquent and collectability of interest and principal is no longer in doubt and past due interest is recognized at that time.

The interest reversed due to the above reason was $226,174 and $121,837 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

(e) Fair Values of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial assets and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

The methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

(f) Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollars (“US$”), which is also the Company’s functional currency. The PRC subsidiaries maintain their books and records in its local currency, the Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”), which is their functional currencies as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company prepared using RMB, are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, United States Dollars (“U.S. dollars”), at the exchange rates quoted by www.oanda.com. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during each reporting period, and shareholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

(g) Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements include: (i) the allowance for doubtful debts; (ii) estimates of losses on unexpired loan contracts and guarantee service contracts; (iii) accrual of estimated liabilities; and (iv) contingencies and litigation.

(h) Financial guarantee service contract

Financial guarantee contracts provides guarantee which protects the holder of a debt obligation against non-payment when due. Pursuant to such guarantee, the Company makes payments if the obligor responsible for making payments fails to do so when scheduled.

The contract amounts reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in the guarantee transaction and also represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss.

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows:

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012

(h) Financial guarantee service contract (continued)

A provision for possible loss to be absorbed by the Company for the financial guarantee it provides is recorded as an accrued liability when the guarantees are made and recorded as “Accrual for financial guarantee services” on the consolidated balance sheet. This liability represents probable losses and is increased or decreased by accruing an “Over provision on financial guarantee services” against the income of commissions and fees on guarantee services reserve.

This is done throughout the life of the guarantee, as necessary when additional relevant information becomes available. The methodology used to estimate the liability for possible guarantee loss considers the guarantee contract amount and a variety of factors, which include, depending on the counterparty, latest financial position and performance of the customers, actual defaults, estimated future defaults, historical loss experience, estimated value of collaterals or guarantees the costumers or third parties offered, and other economic conditions such as the economy trend of the area and the country. The estimates are based upon currently available information.

Based on the past history, the Company estimates the probable loss to be 1% of contract amount and made a provision for possible credit risk of its guarantee in the amount of $699,556 and $880,725 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company reviews the provision on a quarterly basis.

(i) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to holders of Common Stock by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, using the treasury stock method, are included in the diluted per-share calculations for all periods when the effect of their inclusion is dilutive. During periods of net income, shares associated with convertible preferred stock are not included because the inclusion would be dilutive. The total numbers of such shares excluded from the calculation of diluted per common share were 348,462 and 348,462 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and three months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

(j) Recently issued accounting standards

In July 2013, the FASB issued the ASU 2013-09 Fair Value Measurements. The amendments in this Update defer indefinitely the effective date of certain quantitative disclosures contained in FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, for investments held by a nonpublic employee benefit plan in its plan sponsor’s own nonpublic entity equity securities, including equity securities of its plan sponsor’s nonpublic affiliated entities. The deferral in this amendment is effective upon issuance for financial statements that have not been issued. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

3. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES AND OTHER CONSOLIDATION MATTERS

On September 26, 2012, the Company, through WFOE, entered into a series of contractual arrangements, also known as “VIE Agreements” with Wujiang Luxiang and the Wujiang Luxiang Shareholders.

The significant terms of the VIE Agreements are summarized in Note 1.

VIEs are entities that have either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as through voting rights, right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity or obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity. The variable interest holder, if any, that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. WFOE is deemed to have a controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary of the entities mentioned in Note 1 above, because it has both of the following characteristics:

1.	power to direct activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and

2.	obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

In addition, as all of these contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through either arbitration or litigation in the PRC, they would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. The legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in other jurisdictions, such as the United States. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could further limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. Furthermore, these contracts may not be enforceable in China if PRC government authorities or courts take a view that such contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or are otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. In the event the Company is unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, it may not be able to exert effective control over the Wujiang Luxiang, and its ability to conduct its business may be materially and adversely affected.

All of the Company’s current operations are conducted through Wujiang Luxiang. Current regulations in China permit Wujiang Luxiang to pay dividends to us only out of its accumulated distributable profits, if any, determined in accordance with their articles of association and PRC accounting standards and regulations. The ability of Wujiang Luxiang to make dividends and other payments to the Company may be restricted by factors that include changes in applicable foreign exchange and other laws and regulations.

The following financial statement amounts and balances of the VIEs were included in the accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

3. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES AND OTHER CONSOLIDATION MATTERS (CONTINUED)

All of the Company’s current revenue is generated in RMB. Any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use net revenues generated in RMB to make dividends or other payments in US$ or fund possible business activities outside China.

Foreign currency exchange regulation in China is primarily governed by the following rules:

·	Foreign Exchange Administration Rules (1996), as amended in August 2008, or the Exchange Rules;

·	Administration Rules of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), or the Administration Rules.

Under the Administration Rules, RMB is freely convertible for current account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest payments, trade and service related foreign exchange transactions, but not for capital account items, such as direct investments, loans, repatriation of investments and investments in securities outside of China, unless the prior approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) is obtained and prior registration with the SAFE is made. Foreign-invested enterprises like WFOE that need foreign exchange for the distribution of profits to their shareholders may affect payment from their foreign exchange accounts or purchase and pay foreign exchange rates at the designated foreign exchange banks to their foreign shareholders by producing board resolutions for such profit distribution. Based on their needs, foreign invested enterprises are permitted to open foreign exchange settlement accounts for current account receipts and payments of foreign exchange along with specialized accounts for capital account receipts and payments of foreign exchange at certain designated foreign exchange banks.

4. RISKS

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is one of the most significant risks for the Company’s business. Credit risk exposures arise principally in lending activities and financial guarantee activities which is an off-balance sheet financial instrument.

Credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. The Company manages credit risk through in-house research and analysis of the Chinese economy and the underlying obligors and transaction structures. To minimize credit risk, the Company requires collateral in the form of rights to cash, securities or property and equipment.

The Company identifies credit risk collectively based on industry, geography and customer type. This information is monitored regularly by management.

(1) Lending activities

In measuring the credit risk of lending loans to corporate customers, the Company mainly reflects the “probability of default” by the customer on its contractual obligations and considers the current financial position of the customer and the exposures to the customer and its likely future development. For individual customers, the Company uses standard approval procedures to manage credit risk for personal loans.

The Company measures and manages the credit quality of loans to corporate and personal customers based on the “Guideline for Loan Credit Risk Classification” (the “Guideline”) issued by the China Banking Regulatory Commission, which requires commercial banks and micro-credit institutions to classify their corporate and personal loans into five categories: (1) pass, (2) special-mention, (3) substandard, (4) doubtful and (5) loss, among which loans classified in the substandard, doubtful and loss categories are regarded as non-performing loans. The Guideline also determines the percentage of each category of non-performing loans as allowances, which are 2% on special-mention loan, 25% on substandard loans, 50% on doubtful loans and 100% on loss loans.

The five categories are defined as follows:

(1)	Pass: loans for which borrowers can honor the terms of the contracts, and there is no reason to doubt their ability to repay principal and interest of loans in full and on a timely basis.

(2)	Special-mention: loans for which borrowers are still able to service the loans currently, although the repayment of loans might be adversely affected by some factors.

(3)	Substandard: loans for which borrowers’ ability to service loans is apparently in question and borrowers cannot depend on their normal business revenues to pay back the principal and interest of loans. Certain losses might be incurred by the Company even when guarantees are executed.

(4)	Doubtful: loans for which borrowers cannot pay back principal and interest of loans in full and significant losses will be incurred by the Company even when guarantees are executed.

(5)	Loss: principal and interest of loans cannot be recovered or only a small portion can be recovered after taking all possible measures and resorting to necessary legal procedures.

Five-category loan classifications are re-examined on a quarterly basis. Adjustments are made to these classifications as necessary according to customers’ operational and financial position.

The Guideline stipulates that micro-credit companies, which are limited to provide short-term loans and financial guarantee services to only small to medium size businesses, should choose a reasonable methodology to provide allowance for the probable loss from the credit risk, and the allowance should not be less than the allowance amount derived from the five-category analysis. The Company continuously performs the analysis and believes that the allowance amount it provided is consistently more than the allowance amount derived from the five-category analysis.

4. RISKS (CONTINUED)

(a) Credit risk (continued)

(2) Guarantee activities

The off-balance sheet commitments arising from guarantee activities carry similar credit risk to loans and the Company takes a similar approach on risk management.

Off-balance sheet commitments with credit exposures are also assessed and categorized with reference to the Guideline.

(b) Liquidity risk

The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, the Company will turn to other financial institutions and the owners to obtain short-term funding to meet the liquidity shortage.

A majority of the Company’s operating activities and a significant portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers' invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market.

5. RESTRICTED CASH

Restricted cash represents cash pledged with banks as guarantor deposit for the Company's guarantee service customers, amounting to $12.7 million and $11.6 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The banks providing loans to the Company’s guarantee service customers generally require the Company, as the guarantor of the loans, to pledge a cash deposit usually in the range of 10% to 20% of the guaranteed amount. The deposits are released after the guaranteed bank loans are paid off and the Company’s guarantee obligation expires which is usually within 12 months.

At the same time, the Company requires the guarantee service customers to make a deposit to the Company of the same amount as the deposit the Company pledged to the banks for their loans. The Company recorded the deposit received as “deposits payable” on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet. The deposit is returned to the customer after the customer repays the bank loan and the Company’s guarantee obligation expires.

6. LOANS RECEIVABLE, NET

The interest rates on loan issued ranged between 9.6%~ 21.6% and 9.6% ~ 21.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

6. LOANS RECEIVABLE, NET (CONTINUED)

The Company originates loans to customers located primarily in Wujiang City, Jiangsu Province. This geographic concentration of credit exposes the Company to a higher degree of risk associated with this economic region.

All loans are short-term loans that the Company has made to either corporate or individual customers. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had 100 and 109 business loan customers, and 122 and 139 personal loan customers, respectively. Most loans are either guaranteed by a third party whose financial strength is assessed by the Company to be sufficient or secured by collateral. Allowance on loan losses are estimated on quarterly basis in accordance with “The Guidance on Provision for Loan Losses” published by PBOC (Note 7).

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, a reversal of $340,965 and a provision of $624 were charged to the unaudited consolidated statement of income, respectively. For the period of nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, provision of $500,123 and $37,276 were charged to the unaudited consolidated statement of income, respectively. No write-offs against allowances have occurred for these periods.

Interest on loans receivable is accrued and credited to income as earned. The Company determines a loan's past due status by the number of days that have elapsed since a borrower has failed to make a contractual loan payment. Accrual of interest is generally discontinued when either (i) reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or principal or (ii) when a loan becomes past due by more than 90 days.

The following table presents nonaccrual loans with aging over 90 days by classes of loan portfolio as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Collateral Backed Loans

A collateral loan is a loan in which the borrower puts up an asset under their ownership, possession or control, as collateral for the loan. An asset usually is land use rights, inventory, equipment or buildings. The loan is secured against the collateral and we do not take physical possession of the collateral at the time the loan is made. We will verify ownership of the collateral and then register the collateral with the appropriate government entities to complete the secured transaction. In the event that the borrower defaults, we can then take possession of the collateral asset and sell it to recover the outstanding balance owed. If the sale proceed of the collateral asset is not sufficient to pay off the debt, we will file a lawsuit against the borrower and seek judgment for the remaining balance.

Pledged Asset Backed Loans

Pledged loans are loans with pledged assets. The pledged assets are usually certificates of deposit. Lenders take physical possession of the pledged assets at the time the loan is made and do not need to register them with government entities to secure the loan. If the borrower defaults, we can sell the assets to recover the outstanding balance owed.

Both collateral loans and pledged loans are considered secured loans. The amount of a loan that lenders provide depends on the value of the collateral pledged. Beginning 2011, the Company does not provide unsecured loans.

Guarantee Backed Loans

A guaranteed loan is a loan guaranteed by a third party who is usually a corporation or high net worth individual. As of each of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, guaranteed loans make up 88.8% of our direct loan portfolio, respectively.

7. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance is calculated at portfolio-level since our loans portfolio is typically of smaller balance homogenous loans and is collectively evaluated for impairment.

In estimating the probable loss of the loan portfolio, the Company also considers qualitative factors such as current economic conditions and/or events in specific industries and geographical areas, including unemployment levels, trends in real estate values, peer comparisons, and other pertinent factors such as regulatory guidance. Finally, as appropriate, the Company also considers individual borrower circumstances and the condition and fair value of the loan collateral, if any.

In addition, the Company also calculates the provision amount in accordance with PRC regulation “The Guidance for Loan Losses” (“The Provision Guidance”) issued by PBOC and is applied to all financial institutes as below:

1.	General Reserve - is based on total loan receivable balance and to be used to cover unidentified probable loan loss. The General Reserve is required to be no less than 1% of total loan receivable balance.

Specific Reserve - is based on the level of loss of each loan after categorizing the loan according to their risk. According to the so-called “Five-Tier Principle” set forth in the Provision Guidance, the loans are categorized as “pass”, “special-mention”, “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss”. Normally, the provision rate is 2% for “special-mention”, 25% for “substandard”, 50% for “doubtful” and 100% for “loss”.

3.	Special Reserve - is fund set aside covering losses due to risks related to a particular country, region, industry or type of loans. The reserve rate could be decided based on management estimate of loan collectability.

To the extent the mandatory loan loss reserve rate of 1% as required by PBOC differs from management’s estimates, the management elects to use the higher rate. As of September 30, 2013, the Company utilized Specific Reserve in estimating the loan loss as it is higher than General Reserve of 1%.

While management uses the best information available to make loan loss allowance evaluations, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions or changes in accounting guidance.

The following tables present the activity in the allowance for loan losses and related recorded investment in loans receivable by classes of the loans individually and collectively evaluated for impairment as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

8. LOAN IMPAIRMENT

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for corporate and personal loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

An allowance for loan losses is established for an impaired loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. Currently, estimated fair values of substantially all of the Company’s impaired loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral which approximates to the carrying value due to the short term nature of the loans.

Loans whose terms are modified are classified as troubled debt restructurings if the Company grants such borrowers concessions and it is deemed that those borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring generally involve a temporary below market rate reduction in interest rate or an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date. Non-accrual troubled debt restructurings are restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for six consecutive months after modification. Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are designated as impaired.

Even though the Company allows a one-time loan extension with a period up to the original loan period, which is usually twelve months. Such extension is not considered to be a troubled debt restructuring because the Company does not grant a concession to debtors. The principal of the loan remains the same and the interest rate is fixed at the current interest rate at the time of extension. Therefore, there were no troubled debt restructurings during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and corresponding notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors and Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements in this report. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “target”, “forecast” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

Overview

China Commercial Credit, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wujiang Luxiang Information Technology Consulting Co. Ltd (“WFOE”), a limited liability company formed under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”), controls Wujiang Luxiang Microcredit Co. Ltd., (“Wujiang Luxiang”) through a series of contractual arrangements. According to these contractual arrangements, the Company, through WFOE, has the exclusive right to select the management of and to control Wujiang Luxiang, as well as to receive the net income of Wujiang Luxiang.

Through Wujiang Luxiang, we provide short-term direct loans and loan guarantees to small and medium enterprises (“SMEs”), farmers and individuals located in Wujiang City, Jiangsu Province of China. Since our inception in October 2008, we have developed a customer base of a large and growing number of borrowers in Wujiang City. As of September 30, 2013, we have built a $90.5 million portfolio of direct loans to 222 borrowers and a total of $70.0 million in loan guarantees for 99 borrowers. We were established under the 2008 Guidance on the Small Loan Company Pilot of the China Banking Regulatory Commission and the People's Bank of China (“PBOC”) (No.23) (“Circular No. 23”) to extend short-term loans and loan guarantees to SMEs, a class of borrowers that we believe have been underserved in the Chinese lending market. The loans that we provide bridge the gap between Chinese-state run banks that have not traditionally served the capital needs of SMEs and high interest rate “underground” lenders, and our loans provide capital at more favorable terms and sustainable interest rates.

On September 5, 2013, our wholly owned subsidiary, CCC International Investment Holding Ltd. (“CCC HK”), established Pride Financial Leasing (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. (“PFL”) in Jiangsu Province, China. PFL is expected to offer financial leasing of machinery and equipment, transportation vehicles, and medical devices to municipal government agencies, hospitals and SMEs in Jiangsu Province and beyond. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, PFL did not have any operations except for initial organizational activities.

Our business and operating results are affected by China’s overall economic growth and market interest rate. Unfavorable changes could affect the demand for the services that we provide and could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. Our results of operations are also affected by the regulations and industry policies related to the lending industry in the PRC.

Due to changes in the PRC government’s monetary policy, the PBOC benchmark rate was reduced and starting August 2012 we have been restricted to charging no more than three times the PBOC benchmark rate. Prior to August 2012, we were allowed to charge up to four times the PBOC benchmark rate. The decrease in the PBOC Benchmark Rate and the new restriction on the allowable points above, the PBOC benchmark rate has slowed our growth in net interest income.

Our results of operations are also affected by the provision for loan losses, which is a noncash item and represents an assessment of the risk of future loan losses. Increases in the allowance for loan losses are achieved through provision for loan losses that are charged against net interest income.

Although we have generally benefited from China’s economic growth and the policies to encourage lending to farmers and SMEs, we are also affected by the complexity, uncertainties and changes in the PRC regulations governing the small loan industry. Due to PRC legal restrictions on foreign equity ownership and investment in the lending sector in China, we rely on contractual arrangements with our PRC operating entity, Wujiang Luxiang, and its shareholders to conduct most of our business in China. We face risks associated with our control over our variable interest entity, as our control is based upon contractual arrangements rather than equity ownership.

The Company’s consolidated net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $2,361,269 representing an increase of $446,719, or 23%, over $1,914,550 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was the net effect of the changes in the following components:

●	an increase in net interest income of $485,981;
●	a change in the reversal/(provision) for loan losses of $341,589;
●	an increase in net commission and fees from our guarantee business of $90,076;
●	an increase in total non-interest income of $72,851;
●	an increase in total non-interest expense of $305,445; and
●	an increase in enterprise income tax of $238,333.

The following paragraphs discuss changes in the components of net income in greater detail during the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is equal to interest income we generated less interest expenses we incurred. The Company’s net interest income increased by $485,981 to $2,711,855, or 22%, during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to net interest income of $2,225,874 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Interest income increased by $553,182, or 23%, from $2,416,240 to $2,969,422 during the three months ended September 30, 2013. Despite of the lower effective weighted average loan interest rate, the Company still witnessed an increase in the interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2013. This was primarily attributable to the expansion of the Company’s loan portfolio by $9.0 million from $81.5 million as of September 30, 2012 to $90.5 million as of September 30, 2013, and a decrease in weighted average interest rate from 15.65% for the loan portfolio as of September 30, 2012 to 14.70% for loan portfolio as of September 30, 2013.

The Company’s loan interest rates are tied to the PBOC benchmark rate. The PBOC Benchmark one-year rate decreased from 6.31% to 6.00% in July 2012. In addition, effective August 2012, the Company decided to charge only three times the PBOC benchmark rate as compared to four times as permitted by applicable PRC laws. The decrease in PBOC benchmark rate and the lower allowed points above the PBOC benchmark rate charged to customers has caused our effective weighted average loan interest rate to decrease from 15.65% for the loan portfolio as of September 30, 2012 to 14.70% for loan portfolio as of September 30, 2013.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we added 94 new loans and the average loan size was approximately $513,000, as compared to the same period in the prior year, when we added 110 new loans with an average loan size of $415,000.

Our aggregate of cash and restricted cash with third party banks increased by $7.4 million as of September 30, 2013 as compared to that as of September 30, 2012. The interest income generated from cash and restricted cash decreased from $56,906 during the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $16,922 during the three months ended September 30, 2013. This was mainly due to the close of a restricted deposit account with a bank through which we provided guarantee to our customers in April 2013. Although this account bore a higher interest rate, the bank requires certain unfavorable terms, and as a result, we stopped working with this bank to provide guarantee to our customers.

Interest expense represents interest incurred on short-term bank loans. The interest incurred on short term bank loans increased by $27,217 or 11% due to a 2-month gap between repayment of loans and addition of loans during 3 month ended September 30, 2012.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company reversed a provision for loan losses of $340,965 and charged a provision of $624 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Reversal for loan losses reflects the decrease in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as our doubtful loan receivable balance decreased due to collection from customers and hence lower risk was assessed.

Net Commission and Fees from Our Guarantee Business

The Company also generated net income by charging fees for financial guarantee services provided to our customers to help them obtain loans from other banks. We generally charge a one-time fee of 1.8%-3.6% multiplied by the amount of loans being guaranteed, based on the nature of the guarantee and whether the customer is new or existing. The commissions and fees generated from our financial guarantee services increased from $311,351 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, to $401,984 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, representing an increase of $90,633 or 29%. This is because the Company refunded more commission to the guarantees during 3 months ended September as these guarantees failed to obtain bank loans from the banks and ceased the guarantee business.

The methodology the Company used to estimate the liability for probable guarantee loss considers the guarantee contract amount and a variety of factors, which include dependence on the counterparty, latest financial position and performance of the customers, actual defaults, estimated future defaults, historical loss experience, estimated value of collaterals or guarantees the costumers or third parties offered, and other economic conditions such as the economy trend of the area and the country. The estimates are based upon currently available information. Based on the past experience, the Company estimates the probable loss to be approximately 1% of contract amount and reviews this provision on a quarterly basis. It has been determined that our guarantee business is sufficiently covered by the general provision, as such the Company’s provision for its guarantee business mainly reflects the decrease in the general provision for guarantee business as of each year end as compared to the previous year end.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income increased from $83,946 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $156,797 for the six months ended September 30, 2013, representing an increase of $72,851, or 87%. Non-interest income mainly includes government incentive, rental income from the Company sub-leasing certain of its leased office space to third parties for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and waiver of repayment to Regeneration Capital LLP (“Regeneration”, the Company’s founder shareholder). The increase was primarily attributable to the exemption from repayment of $73,602 to Regeneration for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Non-interest expenses

Non-interest expenses increased from $610,987 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $916,432 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, representing an increase of $305,445 or 50%. Non-interest expenses primarily consisted of salary and benefits for employees, office rental expenses, business tax and surcharge, and other operating expenses, such as depreciation of office equipment, traveling costs, entertainment expenses, professional service fees, and office supplies. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in other operating expenses of $333,891. Other operating expenses were higher during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012, primarily due to an increase in travel expenses of $93,195, an increase in legal and consulting expenses of $100,177, and an increase in bank charges of $28,847.

Income tax

Effective from 2011, the Company’s lending business is subject to a preferential tax rate of 12.5%, and its guarantee business is subject to a standard tax rate of 25%.

Income taxes increased from $149,228 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $387,561 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, representing an increase of $238,333 or 160%. The increase in income tax is mainly attributable to:

an increase of net income of $446,719, from $1,914,550 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $2,361,269 for the same period of 2012. This resulted in a increase of income tax expense of $111,680

the Company did not consider the impact of some late adjustments of income statement items when calculating income tax expense for nine months ended September 30, 2012. This led to an understatement of income tax expense of $166,894 for both nine months and three months ended September 30, 2012. The understatement is minimal as compared to net income of nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the management believed that the income tax expense was adjusted to the correct number in the annual financial statements and annual tax return.

Foreign currency translation adjustment

Foreign currency translation adjustment increased from $(54,195) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $452,537 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, representing an increase of $506,732. The increase was mainly due to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

The Company’s net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $5,894,960, representing a decrease of $675,638 or 10%, over $6,570,598 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was the net effect of the changes in the following components:

●	an increase in net interest income of $438,328;
●	an increase in the provision for loan losses of $462,847;
●	a decrease in net commission and fees from our guarantee business of $86,046;
●	a decrease in total non-interest income of $128,881;
●	an increase in total non-interest expense of $681,192 and
●	a decrease in enterprise income tax of $78,908.

The following paragraphs discuss changes in the components of net income in greater detail during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is equal to interest income we generated less interest expenses we incurred. The Company’s net interest income increased by $438,328, or 6%, to $8,394,601 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to net interest income of $7,956,273 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Interest income increased by $381,760 or 4%, from $8,774,766 to $9,156,526 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared with the same period ended September 30, 2012.

Though lower effective weighted average loan interest rate from 15.65% for the loan portfolio as of September 30, 2012 to 14.70% for loan portfolio as of September 30, 2013, the interest income increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This was primarily attributable to the expansion of the Company’s loan portfolio by $9.0 million from $81.5 million as of September 30, 2012 to $90.5 million as of September 30, 2013.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we added 450 new loans and the average loan size was approximately $450,000, as compared to the same period in the prior year, when we added 375 new loans with an average loan size of $389,000.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company continued its effort to reduce related party transactions and accordingly the interest income from the loans to related party was reduced to zero from $13,125 during nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Due to the long-term nature of our restricted deposits with third party banks, we utilized these deposits as term deposits during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 which in turn generated interest income of $135,416 as compared to $238,372 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was mainly due to the close of a restricted deposit account with a bank through which we provided guarantee services to our customers in April 2013.

Interest expense represents interest incurred on short-term bank loans and loans from related parties. The interest incurred on short term bank loans decreased by $172,649, or 16%. This was mainly caused by decrease of total bank borrowing balance by $1.95 million from $17.41 million as of September 30, 2012 to $15.46 million as of September 30, 2013. In both periods of nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, there was no interest expense related to the loans from related parties as a result of our effort to reduce related party transactions.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s provision for loan losses were $500,123 and $37,276 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Provision for loan losses reflects the increase in the allowance for loan losses for the reporting period as our loan receivable balance increased and hence higher risk was assessed. In accordance with the aging schedule, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, certain loans in category of “special mention” were moved down to the “doubtful” category subject to the higher 50% provision.

Net Commission and Fees from Our Guarantee Business

The Company also generated net income by charging fees for financial guarantee services provided to our customers to help them obtain loans from other banks. We generally charge a one-time fee of 1.8%-3.6% multiplied by the amount of loans being guaranteed, based on the nature of the guarantee and whether the customer is new or existing. The commissions and fees generated from our financial guarantee services decreased from $1,261,145 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, to $1,175,060 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, representing a decrease of $86,085, or 7%.

Our “over provision on the financial guarantee services” to third parties increased by $166,131, which is caused by decreased guarantee business during nine month period ended September 30, 2013. Since we bear the same risk for guarantee business as for the loan business but receive lower profit margins, we decided to concentrate more on loan business.

The methodology the Company used to estimate the liability for probable guarantee loss takes into consideration the guarantee contract amount and a variety of factors, which include dependence on the counterparty, latest financial position and performance of the customers, actual defaults, estimated future defaults, historical loss experience, estimated value of collaterals or guarantees the costumers or third parties offered, and other economic conditions such as the economic trend of the area and the country. The estimates are based upon currently available information. Based on the past experience, the Company estimates the probable loss to be approximately 1% of contract amount and reviews the provision on a quarterly basis. It has been determined that our guarantee business is sufficiently covered by the general provision, as such the Company’s provision for its guarantee business mainly reflects the increase in the general provision for guarantee business as of each year end as compared to the previous year end.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income decreased from $ 311,453 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $182,572 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, representing a decrease of $128,881, or 41%. Non-interest income mainly includes government incentive, return of rental expense from local tax bureau, rental income from the Company sub-leasing certain of its leased office space to third parties and exemption from repayment to Regeneration. The decrease of non-interest income was mainly attributable to decrease of government incentive by $92,322 and decrease of return of rental expense by $110,528, netting off against exemption of repayment by Regeneration of $73,602.

Government incentive has decreased from $175,557 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $83,235 for the same period in 2013. This government incentive is awarded by Jiangsu Finance Office to promote the development of microcredit agencies in Jiangsu Province. The Company applied for the incentive in the next year and recognized subsidy as income upon cash receipts. During 2012, due to an increased number of applicants, the Jiangsu Finance Office announced a new calculation base for awarding incentives. According to the new calculation base, a portion of the government incentive can be obtained only if the Company’s annual average loan interest rate in is less than 15%. The Company did not meet this requirement for the year of 2012 and hence did not qualify for that portion of the incentive. Therefore during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the government incentive, which was received for the of the year of 2012 decreased as compared to that during the same period of 2012.

Return of rental expense has decreased from $110,528 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $nil for the same period in 2013. The return of rental expense is awarded by local government to attract promising companies to set up their business in the economic zone where the Company was located. With the development of the economic zone, the beneficial policy expired in late 2012.

Non-interest expenses

Non-interest expenses increased from $1,836,921 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $2,518,113 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, representing an increase of $681,192, or 37%. Non-interest expenses primarily consisted of salary and benefits for employees, office rental expenses, business tax and surcharge, and other operating expenses, such as depreciation of office equipment, traveling costs, entertainment expenses, professional service fees, and office supplies.

The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in other operating expenses by $681,729. Other operating expenses were higher during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012, primarily due to an increase in travel expenses of $130,723, an increase in legal and consulting expense of $266,450, an increase in bank charges of $111,401, and an increase of auditing expenses of $28,356.

Income tax

Income taxes decreased from $1,120,306 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $1,041,398 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, representing a decrease of $78,908 or 7%. The decrease in income tax is mainly due to attributable to.

a decrease of net income of $675,638, from $6,570,598 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $5,894,960 for the same period of 2012. This resulted in a decrease of income tax expense of $168,910.

the Company did not consider the impact of some late adjustments of income statement items when calculating income tax expense for nine months ended September 30, 2012. This led to an understatement of income tax expense of $166,894 for nine months. The understatement is minimal as compared to net income of nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the management believed that the income tax expense was adjusted to the correct number in the annual financial statements and annual tax return.

a change in PRC tax policy. Prior to 2012, the Company was entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 12.5%. In April 2012, the Company received a notice from the local tax authority that the Company’s lending business was qualified for a preferential tax rate of 12.5%, while the taxable income arising from its guarantee business was subject to a standard tax rate of 25%. The local tax authority required the Company to apply the new tax policy retroactively to 2011. Hence, the Company evaluated the impact of the changed policy on the income tax provision on the issued financial statements of 2011, and determined that income tax for 2011 was understated by approximately $225,445. This amount was recorded in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, as the amount was minimal compared to the Company’s net income in 2011.

Foreign currency translation adjustment

Foreign currency translation adjustment increased from $359,867 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $1,880,603 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, representing an increase of $1,520,736, or 423%. The increase was mainly due to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Loan Portfolio Quality

One of our key objectives is to maintain a high level of loan portfolio quality. When a borrower fails to make a scheduled payment, we attempt to cure the deficiency by personally contacting the borrower. Initial contacts typically are made seven days after the date the payment is due, and warning letters are sent by our legal counsel approximately 90 days after the default. In most cases, deficiencies are promptly resolved. If the outstanding amount cannot be collected within 180 days after the maturity date and the parties could not reach an agreement on a specific repayment program, we will initiate legal proceedings.

We also increase the frequency of visits to our customers and observe their daily production on site from time to time to observe their operating condition and collect their financial information. Since most of our customers are in the Jiangsu area, it is also relatively easy to obtain information about our customers.

On loans where the collection of principal or interest payments is doubtful, the accrual of interest income ceases (“non-accrual” loans). Except for loans that are well secured and in the process of collection, it is our policy to discontinue accruing additional interest and reverse any interest accrued on any loan which is 90 days or more past due.

We account for our impaired loans in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted by the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). An impaired loan generally is one for which it is probable, based on current information, that the lender will not collect all the amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for corporate and personal loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

We allow a one-time loan extension with time duration up to the original loan period, which is usually within twelve months. In order to qualify, the borrower must be current on interest payments. We do not grant a concession to debtors as the principal of the loan remains the same and interest rate is fixed at the current interest rate at the time of extension.

We use a comprehensive methodology to monitor credit quality and prudently manage credit concentration within our portfolio of loans. Currently our loan portfolio concentrates in the textile industry and it is showing signs of slow-down. To maintain our loan portfolio quality, we have modified our loan policy to accept only textile companies with real estate as collateral or with professional guarantee company as the loan guarantee method.

In addition, we plan to diversify our risks by concentrating in small amount loans that are below $650,000 (or approximately RMB 4 million). We have also eliminated related party loans and initiated more loans to agriculture related business.

Currently, the banking industry encourages SMEs to apply for loans as individual with recourse so that when it is past due, both the SME and the responsible individual are both liable for the past due amount and the individual borrower carries personal liability. As of September 30, 2013, our business loan balance decreased by 16% as compared to that as of December 31, 2012, while personal loans increased by 67%.

The following table sets forth the classification of loans receivable of the periods indicated:

	September 30, 2013					December 31,2012
	Amount		Percent of Total			Amount		Percent of Total
Business loans	$	53,789,729		59.43	%	$	63,847,080		74.43	%
Personal loans		36,722,603		40.57	%		21,934,213		25.57	%
Total Loans receivable, gross	$	90,512,332				$	85,781,293

Non-accrual loans totaled $2.1 million, or 1.85% of total assets at September 30, 2013, up from $1.70 million, or 1.85% of total assets, at year-end 2012. The allowance for loan losses was $1.39 million, representing 1.53% of loans receivable and 67.32% of non-accrual loans at September 30, 2013. At December 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses was $0.86 million, representing 1.00% of loans receivable and 50.34% of non-accrual loans.

The following table sets forth information concerning our nonaccrual loans as of the periods indicated:

	September 30, 2013			December 31,2012
Non-accrual loans	$	2,060,260		$	1,703,879

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Capital Resources

To date, we have financed our daily operations primarily through shareholder contributions, cash flow from operations and bank loans. Additionally we raised net proceeds of $7,729,520 from our initial public offering during August 2013. As a result, net cash increased from $1,588,061 as of December 31, 2012 to $6,972,155 as of September 30, 2013.

We require cash for working capital, making loans, repayment of debt, salaries, commissions and related benefits and other operating expenses and income taxes. We expect that without the needs of future business expansion, our current working capital is sufficient to support our routine operations for the next twelve months.

However, as a micro-credit company regulated by the Chinese Banking Regulatory Commission, we are prohibited from providing saving or checking services to our customers; our borrowing capacity from other financial institutions is also limited to 50% of our equity. Our currently available capital resources may not be sufficient to fund our anticipated expansion.

In order to meet the capital needs for our anticipated business expansion, we may take the following actions: (1) continue to improve our collection of loan receivable and interest receivable; (2) if necessary, raise additional capital through the sale of additional equity; and (3) enter into new, or refinance existing, short- and/or long-term commercial loans. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in the amounts we need or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The sale of additional equity securities, including convertible debt securities, would dilute our current shareholders. The incurrence of debt could result in operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations and our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional equity or debt financing as required, our business, operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

Statement of Cash Flows

As of September 30, 2013, cash was $6,972,155 as compared to $1,588,061 as of December 31, 2012.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	5,422,047		$	6,480,819
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(2,185,909	)	$	(940,558	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	2,075,159		$	(7,177,286	)
Effects of exchange rate changes on cash	$	72,797		$	27,908
Net cash inflow	$	6,972,155		$	1,940,527

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we had positive cash flow from operating activities of $5,422,047, a decrease of $1,058,772 from the same period of 2012, during which we had cash flow from operating activities of $6,480,819. The net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased by $675,638 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was the result of several factors, including:

●	An increase in cash flow due to an increase of non-cash items which was primarily due to the increase in the provision for loan losses of $462,847.
●	A decrease in cash flow due to over provision for financial guarantee increased by $166,131.
●	A decrease in cash flow due to the increase in changes in net tax receivable by $1,030,674. The net tax receivable as of September 30, 2013 increased by $1,021,744 as compared to the decrease of $8,930 in the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to recovery of income tax from the government. The Company was required to prepay enterprise income taxes at a rate of 25% on a quarterly basis when the applicable tax rate was 12.5% to loan business and 25% to guarantee business, respectively. Within five months after fiscal year end, the Company and the tax authority resolved the difference between the taxes paid and taxes due.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $2,185,909, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $940,558 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was mainly used for granting new loans and for making payment on behalf of a guarantee who defaulted payment of its bank borrowing when due.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $2,075,159, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $7,177,286 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was mainly attributable to net proceeds from initial public offering of $7,473,528, net proceeds from exercise of over allotment by an underwriter of $255,992, net proceeds from issuance of preferred stocks of $107,256 and proceeds from additional bank borrowings of $4,881,859, netting off against repayment of bank borrowings of $10,563,457.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2013, the annual amounts of future minimum payments under certain of our contractual obligations were:

	Payments due by period
	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
Contractual obligations:
Short term bank loans	$	15,462,491	$	15,462,491	$	-	$	-	$	-
Operating lease	$	1,309,395	$	261,879	$	523,758	$	523,758	$	-
	$	16,771,886	$	15,724,370	$	523,758	$	523,758	$	-

(1)	The bank loans bear an average annual interest rate of 5.49%.

(2)	Our new lease for our office in Wujiang commenced on October 1, 2013 and will expire in September 30, 2018. The Company has the right to extend the lease before its expiration with a one-month's prior written notice.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

These financial guarantee contracts consist of providing guarantees to banks on behalf of borrowers to help them obtain loans from banks. The contract amounts reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in the guarantee business and also represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss.

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its borrowers. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows:

		September 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
Guarantee		$	69,955,566			$	86,360,524

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from our expectations as a result of changes in our estimates.

An accounting policy is considered critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time such estimate is made and if different accounting estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the condensed financial statements. We believe that the following accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application and require us to make significant accounting estimates. The following descriptions of critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates should be read in conjunction with our condensed financial statements and other disclosures included in this prospectus.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when there are probable economic benefits to the Company and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following:

●	Interest income on loans. Interest on loan receivables is accrued monthly in accordance with their contractual terms and recorded in accrued interest receivable. The Company does not charge prepayment penalties from customers.
●	Commission on guarantee service. The Company receives the commissions from guarantee services in full at inception and records as unearned income before amortizing it throughout the period of guarantee.
●	Non-interest income. Non-interest income mainly includes government incentive and rental income from the sub-leasing of certain of the Company’s leased office space to third parties. Government incentive is provided by Jiangsu Provincial government on a yearly basis to promote the development of micro credit agencies in Jiangsu Province.

Loans receivable, net

Loans receivable primarily represent loan amounts due from customers. The management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity, or payoff. Loans receivable are recorded at unpaid principal balances, net of unearned income and allowance that reflects the Company’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. The loans receivable portfolio consists of corporate loans and personal loans. The Company does not charge loan origination and commitment fees.

Allowance for loan losses and loan impairment

The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge offs (net of recoveries). The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed to be reasonable by management to absorb probable losses inherent in the portfolio as of each balance sheet date. The allowance is based on factors such as the size and current risk characteristics of the portfolio, an assessment of individual problem loans and actual losses, delinquencies, and/or risk rating experience within the portfolio.

The Company evaluates its allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis or more often as deemed necessary. The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge offs (net of recoveries). The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed to be reasonable by management to absorb probable losses inherent in the portfolio as of each balance sheet date. The allowance is based on factors such as the size and current risk characteristics of the portfolio, an assessment of individual problem loans and pools of homogenous loans, and actual loss, delinquency, and/or risk rating experience within the portfolio.

The allowance is calculated at portfolio-level since our loans portfolio is typically of smaller balance homogenous loans and is collectively evaluated for impairment.

For the purpose of calculating portfolio-level reserves, we have grouped our loans into two portfolio segments: Corporate and Personal. The allowance consists of the combination of a quantitative assessment component based on statistical models, a retrospective evaluation of actual loss information to loss forecasts, value of collaterals and could include a qualitative component based on management judgment. Management takes into consideration relevant qualitative factors, including external and internal trends such as the impacts of collections and account management effectiveness, geographic concentrations, and economic events, among other factors, that have occurred but are not yet reflected in the quantitative assessment component. All qualitative adjustments are adequately documented, reviewed, and approved through our established risk governance processes. Refer to Note 6 for information on the allowance for loan losses.

In addition, the Company also calculates the provision amount in accordance with PRC regulations “The Guidance for Loan Losses” (“The Provision Guidance”) issued by People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”) and is applied to all financial institutes as below:

	1.	General Reserve - is based on total loan receivable balance and to be used to cover unidentified probable loan loss. The General Reserve is required to be no less than 1% of total loan receivable balance.
	2.	Specific Reserve - is based on the level of loss of each loan after categorizing the loan according to its risk. According to the so-called “Five-Tier Principle” set forth in the Provision Guidance, the loans are categorized as “pass”, “special-attention”, “substantial”, “doubtful” or “loss”. Normally, the provision rate is 2% for “special-attention”, 25% for “substantial”, 50% for “doubtful” and 100% for “loss”.
	3.	Special Reserve - is a fund set aside to cover losses due to risks related to a particular country, region, industry or type of loans. The reserve rate is determined based on management's estimate of loan collectability.

Due to the short term nature of the loans receivable and based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, the Company only includes General Reserve in the loan loss reserve.

To the extent the mandatory loan loss reserve rate required by PBOC differs from management’s estimates, management elects to use the higher rate.

Income Tax

Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable for the differences that are expected to affect taxable income.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2013, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There were no material changes to these risks since the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ( the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of September 30, 2013, the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of September 30, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2013 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We know of no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party which are material or potentially material, either individually or in the aggregate. We are from time to time, during the normal course of our business operations, subject to various litigation claims and legal disputes. We do not believe that the ultimate disposition of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s prospectus filed with the SEC on August 14, 2013.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On August 12, 2013, the SEC declared effective our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-189186) (“IPO Registration Statement”). The total gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $9.2 million. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company, the aggregate net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of all the shares registered in the IPO Registration Statement totaled approximately $7.7 million. On August 27, 2013, the Company received additional gross proceeds of approximately $297,000 and net proceeds of $276,000 as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of its over-allotment option. As of September 30, 2013, $1.5 million of the net proceeds had been used to satisfy WFOE’s registered capital requirement, while the remainder of the proceeds had not yet been used, including for the purposes described in the IPO Registration Statement, such as increasing the registered capital of Wujiang Luxiang or otherwise. As previously disclosed, the Company applied to reduce the registered capital of WFOE from $10 million. The Company has successfully obtained the approval to reduce the WFOE’s registered capital from $10 million to $100,000. The difference between the amounts previously contributed to WFOE’s registered capital and the new $100,000 required amount will be used to increase the registered capital of Wujiang Luxiang.
