我國多家上市公司揮淚賣房保業績

Struggling Chinese companies are turning to the soaring property market to bolster their books.

在困境中掙扎求存的中國公司正藉助火爆的房地產市場來提振其財務狀況。

At least 12 firms listed on mainland exchanges announced plans to sell real estate holdings in September amid a surge in property prices, according to Bloomberg calculations from stock exchange disclosures.

彭博社根據證券交易所披露信息統計得出，隨着房價持續走高，9月至少有12家在內地交易所上市的公司宣佈出售持有房產的計劃。

AMong them, seven suffered losses in the first half, while four have been placed on the exchanges' watch list for possibly being delisted. Most of them are in businesses unrelated to real estate.

其中7家公司上半年虧損，4家公司被交易所納入觀察名單，可能退市，多數公司的業務與房地產無關。

"The companies faced earnings pressures in their core businesses, so they are looking to sell real estate in the high-price environment to airbrush the books and prevent a delisting scenario," said Zhang Haidong, chief strategist at Jinkuang Investment Management in Shanghai.

上海金曠投資管理公司首席策略師張海東表示：“這些公司的核心業務面臨盈利壓力，因此尋求在房價較高的時候出售房產，爲財務報表增色、防止出現退市的局面。”

Under China's exchange rules, companies are warned with the possibility of delisting after two consecutive years of losses, and are suspended if they post a loss in the following year.

根據我國的證券交易規定，連續兩年虧損的公司將被警示存在退市的可能性，如果下一年繼續虧損則將被暫停上市。

Shanghai Xinmei Real Estate Co said in a statement on Sept 14 that it hoped to sell properties for at least 150 million yuan ($22 million) to "optimize its asset structure and resume trading as quickly as possible".

上海新梅置業有限公司在9月14日的一份聲明中表示，該公司希望出售至少價值1億5000萬元人民幣（2200萬美元）的資產，以“優化其資產結構，儘快復牌”。

Weifang Yaxing Chemical Co, Xi'an Tian He Defense Technology Co, Shenzhen Shenbao Industrial Co and Shanghai Greencourt Investment Group Co are among the other companies with plans to sell real estate, filings show.

此外根據提交的文件顯示，濰坊亞星化學股份有限公司、西安天和防務技術股份有限公司、深圳深寶實業股份有限公司以及上海綠地投資集團也在其他計劃出售房地產的公司之列。
