Item 2.01 | | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets |
On July 20, 2007, Great China International Holdings, Inc., through its indirect subsidiary Shenyang Maryland International Industry Co., Ltd., received notice of approval and first payment under a compensation agreement that effects disposition of the Xita Project.
In December 2005, Shenyang Maryland International acquired Shenyang Xinchao Property Company and Shenyang Yindu Property Company, which together hold 100% of the rights granted under the Xita Project confirmation letter issued by the Heping District Government in 2004. The confirmation letter, as subsequently amended, contemplated a 99,000 square meter project located in the Xi Ta area in the city of Shenyang. Under the confirmation letter we paid a land transfer fee of RMB 33,228,480.
Shenyang Heping District Investment Promotion Bureau, which is the agency overseeing development of the Xi Ta area is expanding the project and, as a consequence of the expansion, has reached an agreement with us to reacquire the land use rights for the Xita Project in exchange for refunding the land transfer fee of RMB 33,228,480, and reimbursing us for amounts expended on the development in the amount of RMB 12,345,180. On July 20, 2007, the local government approvals and procedures were completed for transferring the land use rights back to the local government and we received reimbursement of the land transfer fee of RMB 33,228,480. We expect to receive the remaining RMB 12,345,180 in August 2007.
