$6,090,000
during the quarter. The net proceeds to us were approximately
$5,800,000
. The long-lived assets held for sale were 17 apartments of
Greenland
Garden in
Beijing
, PRC. One of the real estate facilities sold was the apartment at Robinson Road in
Hong Kong
. As a result, the Company recognized a gain on sale of
$3,036,273
.
Outlook
The Company has chosen to change its strategic direction from being a firm focused on Canadian real estate to one that is focused on one of the fastest growing economies in the world -
China
.
Using the same formula as in the past, management believes the company will successfully transit into the Chinese marketplace and continue to grow through a well-defined internal growth and external acquisition program. Management intends to seek out and take advantage of opportunities in the Asian market and will not restrict itself to the real estate or hospitality industries.
