ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

Penang Property

 

During the fourth quarter of 2015, the operations in Malaysia planned to sell its factory building in Penang, Malaysia. In accordance with ASC Topic 360, during fiscal year 2015 the property was reclassified from investment property, which had a net book value of RM 371, or approximately $98, to assets held for sale, since there was an intention to sell the factory building. In May 2015, Trio-Tech Malaysia was approached by a potential buyer to purchase the factory building. On September 14, 2015, application to sell the property was rejected by Penang Development Corporation (PDC). The rejection was because the business activity of the purchaser was not suitable to the industry that is being promoted on said property. PDC made an offer to purchase the property, which was not at the expected value and the offer expired on March 28, 2016 and no further conversations with PDC have occurred since. Management received an expression of interest from a potential buyer in acquiring the property during second quarter of fiscal year 2019 and the sale is still under negotiation with the potential buyer during third quarter of fiscal year 2019. The completion of the sale is also subject to the approval by Penang Development Corporation. The net book values of the building was RM371, or $90, as at March 31, 2019 and RM371, or $91, as at June 30, 2018.

 

Mao Ye Property

 

During the first quarter of 2019, management decided to sell Mao Ye Property, which is one of our earlier investment properties. In order to monetize the capital gain on property, TTCQ appointed a sole agent for 6 months as of September 1, 2018 to search for suitable buyers for this property. The Company has completed the sale of thirteen of the fifteen units constituting the Mao Ye Property as the end of the third quarter 2019 which contributed the gain of $685. During the third quarter 2019, considering the current market conditions in China, management has decided not to sell the remaining two units of Mao Ye properties and as of third quarter 2019, the properties were reclassified to investment property from assets held for sale.
