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. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, there was an interested buyer to purchase the property; however, the purchase was not consummated as the potential buyer was unable to obtain financing. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, Management has received an expressions of interest in acquiring this property and continues to pursue such offer and other potential opportunities for the sale of this property. The net book values of the building were RM371, or $89, as at each of December 31, 2018 and RM371, or $91, as at June 30, 2018.

 

Mao Ye Property

 

During the first quarter of 2019, management decided to sell our 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. During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company completed the sale of seven of the fifteen units constituting the Mao Ye Property. The Company believes that it has the ability to complete the sale transaction for remaining units within a period of one year since the asset can be transferred to the buyer in its present condition and the target price given to the sole agent is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. In accordance with ASC Topic 360, as there was an intention to sell the investment properties within 1 year, the property was reclassified from investment property, which had a net book value of RMB 2,732, or approximately $397 as at December 31, 2018.
