In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange on Friday Swift said its board approved the sale of three parcels of land on Sheridan St. with a total area of 11,116 square meters at P45,000 per sqm.
The sale is in line with Swift’s efforts to pay down its debt.
Based on earlier filings with the local bourse, Swift said it would pursue the sale of non-performing assets to settle outstanding obligations.
Despite its liquidity problems, Swift management said it would continue to find ways to address pressing matters.
Only its farm in Palawan will remain operational and continue to produce quality Swift Sariwanok chicken, Swift said.
Swift incurred a net loss of nearly P70 million in the nine months ending September 2011, slightly higher than the P68.9 million loss recorded a year before on lower sales.
Net sales slid 33 percent to P304.34 million.
In the third quarter of 2011 alone, Swift’s net loss amounted to P12.35 million or a decrease of 75.5 percent from the P50.38 million posted the previous year.
