CHLN from last week Jerry---China Housing & Land Development, Inc. Provides Pre-Sale Update on Junjing Garden II Project
Successful Completion of First Round of Presales Yields in Excess of $3.4 million in Initial Proceeds and Over $14.0 million in Anticipated Revenue for 2008
XI'AN, China, Oct 18, 2007 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- China Housing & Land Development, Inc. "China Housing" (OTC Bulletin Board: CHLN), a leading developer of residential and commercial properties in the city of Xi'an announced today the successful completion of the first round of presales for the Company's Junjing Garden II project.
Beginning in mid September, the Company began to offer select "club members" the opportunity to secure a purchase right for a unit in the highly sought after Junjing Garden II development for an initial cash payment of 100,000 RMB or approximately $13,300 USD. During a 2-week period, over 250 units were pre-sold, generating approximately $3.4 million in cash. China Housing will use these proceeds for working capital while recording these initial transactions as revenue and subsequent profit once the units are complete and the title is officially transferred to the new owner, which is anticipated to occur late next year. The buyers will be responsible for the approximate balance of $40,000 for each unit at the time of closing to officially consummate the sale with the Company recording approximately $14.0 million in 2008 revenue assuming all units close. There are risks that certain presale units may not come into final closings and if the transaction cannot close in 2008 a portion of the deposits maybe returned to customers. Presales are customary in China and enable developers to have visibility into sell- through rates, while providing access to capital to complete projects which augments overall internal rate of return.
Construction began on the first phase of Junjing Garden II, which consists of 1,000 units in July 2007 and it is expected to be completed in late 2008. Junjing Garden II in total consists of over 2,000 residential units and over 130,000 square feet of related commercial space. The project is located adjacent to the Company's successful Junjing Garden I project just outside the central portion of Xi'an and will deliver amenities that are attractive to its targeted middle-class customers while being the first Canadian style residential community with a "green and energy-saving" theme. A typical unit in Junjing Garden II is approximately 1,100 square feet and can comfortably accommodate a traditional Chinese family, including grandparents. The next round of presales is expected to begin in early 2008.
"The scale of the first presales was greater than our original expectations as the real estate market in Xi'an remains extremely strong with demand for housing far outstripping available supply. As a matter of reference, residential property prices in Xi'an increased approximately 8 percent on a year over year basis as reported by the Xi'an Statistics Bureau," commented Mr. Pingji Lu, Chairman & CEO of China Housing. "We continue to believe that the dynamics of increasing disposable income and population, combined with the aforementioned shortage in housing and the relative price discount in Xi'an compared to other major metropolitan areas will allow us to continue to successfully develop projects while also holding positive implications for our first anticipated Baqiao land sale in the fourth quarter of 2007."

China Telecom Plans Largest Yellow Page Database In China
October 24, 2007
China Telecom (CHA) has signed with NavInfo and Cgogo to carry out a range of cooperation on telecom yellow page data, digital map applications and mobile phone search, which is expected to result in the unveiling of the largest dynamic yellow page database in China.

The three parties' cooperation will mainly aim at the application of mobile phone new media products and the development of corresponding service pattern under the upcoming 3G environment. And the cooperation means that China Telecom's shift from a traditional telecom service provider to a comprehensive information provider will proceed more smoothly.
In September 2006, China Telecom launched the 114 search service in cooperation with Microsoft as a prelude to enter the wireless search industry.

Standard Pacific Says New Home Orders Rise During July, August
IRVINE, Calif. (AP) -- Homebuilder Standard Pacific Corp. said Monday net new home orders in July and August rose 20 percent due to a strong showing in several markets, particularly California.
Standard Pacific said its cancellation rate for the two-month period was 33 percent, down from 51 percent in the prior-year period.

Home orders were particularly strong in California, where they rose nearly 100 percent during the two months, the company said. Orders also rose by 42 percent in Arizona.
Meanwhile, orders fell 24 percent in Florida, 5 percent in Texas and 13 percent in the Carolinas, said Standard Pacific.
"Despite the positive comparisons in some of our markets, our absolute sales absorption rates continue to reflect the difficult housing conditions in most of our markets which were exacerbated during the quarter by the further tightening of available mortgage credit for homebuyers," the company said.
Standard Pacific expects to take additional impairment charges in its third quarter citing continued pressure on home prices.
Standard Pacific shares rose 27, or 3.3 percent, to $8.50 in electronic after-hours trading. During regular trading hours, the shares rose 20 cents to close at $8.23.

NEW YORK (AP) - Some alternative energy stocks got a boost Wednesday as Morgan Stanley initiated coverage of the broad sector with an ``Attractive'' rating, saying investors should diversify clean-energy holdings to minimize short-term risk.
``We have just entered the second of four waves of clean energy innovation that will span the first two or three decades of the 21st century,'' said analyst David Edwards in a Wednesday report.
Investors should select companies that are secure, growing at an appropriate pace, controlling costs and providing the most environmentally friendly products, Edwards said. However, he warned that investors need to be ``agile'' as stocks will experience near-term volatility as these newer companies ``right-size and experience growing pains.''
One of the industries experiencing those so-called growing pains is ethanol. Several companies have halted plans to build new plants amid an oversupply of the alternative fuel, which has brought prices down sharply even as the cost of its main ingredient, corn, continues to climb.
Last week a small producer in North Dakota became the first to shut down production at an existing plant, according to a Raymond James report Wednesday. The firm noted it ``cannot rule out'' that other shut-downs have occurred, but says Alchem Ltd. was the first to publicly report its production halt.
Analyst Pavel Molchanov estimated that at current ethanol and corn prices, a typical U.S. ethanol producer is generating a loss of 6 cents per gallon before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
Three of the four U.S. stocks Edwards rated ``Overweight'' led sector gains in midday trading. The diverse group includes Fuel-Tech Inc., which makes technology to reduce air-pollution. The stock gained $4.13, or 14.4 percent, to $32.87. Solar-module maker First Solar Inc. gained $8.17, or 5.9 percent, to $147.10, while shares of ethanol producer Verasun Energy Corp. rose 41 cents, or 3.5 percent, to $12.03.
Edwards' fourth top-choice, solar-product maker SunPower Corp., saw shares rise $1.73 to $93.53.
