Bonso Reports Sale of Industrial Land

 

HONG KONG, August 3, 2015 (Globe Newswire) -- Bonso Electronics International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNSO) today announced the sale of part of its industrial land.

 

In July 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party to sell part of the Company’s land use right in Xinxing, PRC for approximately $866,000 plus the taxes payable as result of the sale (estimated to be $200,000). The area of this land is approximately 24,000 square meters, representing 18% of the total land area of the Company’s Xinxing manufacturing facility. The resulting gain before tax is expected to be approximately $400,000 (or $0.07 per share). Under the sales agreement, the buyer paid approximately $244,000 and the balance of the purchase price will be paid over a two year term, with monthly installments of approximately $34,000 plus interest. The annual interest rate is 10.2%. The final installment will be paid in July 2017. Anthony So, Chairman stated, “I am pleased with the opportunity to generate a profit from the sale of part of our land use rights, which represents a good return on our initial investment in the land use rights without affecting our manufacturing capacity.”
