Asia Properties Allows Letter of Intent to Expire for Site in Nanning, China

Asia Properties, Inc. reported that is has allowed its Letter of Intent to acquire 150 acres of a 506 acre new central business district site in Nanning, China to expire.

CEO, Daniel McKinney said, “due to the recent financial turmoil resulting from the Bear Sterns bailout, Lehman Brothers bankruptcy and world wide economic malaise, we find it very difficult to finance such a venture at this time. We plan to engage other similar projects when the viability to finance such projects returns.”

Unlike many other property companies, API is not leveraged and has paid cash for its recent acquisitions with no bank debt. The Company plans to remain focused on its other projects, including its planned resort destination in the Philippines Islands.
