Revenues for 2011 mainly derived from sales of five projects. The company decided for the disposal of assets in order recognise profits and to generate cash for the accelerated development of new projects with better expected margins. During an EGM held on November 11, 2011, shareholders in the Company agreed to the disposal of Euro Asia’s interests in the Euro Asia Apartment Buildings, the Qing Zhou Apartments, the Shenghaipua Estate, the Yunhu Holiday Hotel and the New Janye Building. Other revenues were derived from sales of Phase I of the Agricultural Exhibition Center, as well as rental income from properties operated in Weifang.
Patrick Chan, CEO of Euro Asia, stated, “The financials for 2011 are wholly in line with our expectations and with what we communicated to the market early this year. The ease with which we managed to dispose profitably of the aforementioned assets is a testament to the Weifang property market, which is growing and demand driven. The proceeds from these transactions have allowed us to increase our landbank and invest in new projects and project expansions where we see returns well above the market average. Our costs base remains relatively low, which has resulted in a very healthy financial position. The Company is positioned extremely well, both financially and operationally, to benefit from the development driven demand growth in the Weifang region and beyond. As stated above, we expect to release the full financial statement for 2011 this coming week. At the time of our annual general meeting we will also comment in greater depth on our expectations for the actual year and onwards.”
The AGM to approve the financial statements is to be held on August 18, 2012 at the offices of Harney’s, the company’s legal counsel located at
7502 International Commerce Centre, One Austin Road West, Kowloon/Hong Kong
The details of the financials information, resolutions and agenda of the AGM will be posted on the Company’s website at www.eu-asia.net along with eligibility to attend meeting.
