Wan Qian, secretary for the board of directors of Beijing Sanyuan Foods Co. Ltd. confirmed the board had agreed that Hebei Sanyuan -- a full-asset subsidiary of Sanyuan Foods Co.Ltd.-- and Sanyuan Group would jointly bid in the auction for Sanlu, and the bid offered should not go beyond 110 percent of Sanlu's total value.

Beijing Sanyuan Foods Co. Ltd, with more than 5,000 people on its payroll, is a Sino-foreign venture which mainly produces dairy products. It also runs outlets of McDonalds and is involved in real estate development, according to a document posted on the company's website.

The company's decision was made known late Friday. Related announcements appeared at venues for securities trading across Beijing Saturday.

Beijing Sanyuan Foods decided to pool funds ranging 800 million yuan (about US$117.65 million) to one billion yuan through non-public selling shares to Sanyuan Group, Beijing Sanyuan's parent company, and Beijing Enterprises (Food) Co. Ltd., a big share holder, at 4 yuan per share, according to the announcements.

The money raised will be channeled to Hebei Sanyuan for its future business activities, including buying assets of Sanlu. Sanlu was declared bankrupt Thursday by the Intermediate People's Court of Shijiazhuang, capital city of Hebei Province. Hebei Sanyuan is expected to make up for the remaining financial shortage through measures including bank loans.

Beijing Sanyuan Foods Co. Ltd. also announced late Friday it would resume share trading Monday after its shares were suspended from transaction on September25, 2008. The company's shares closed at 5.59 yuan that day.

Sanlu Group's assets will be auctioned on March 4 at the Intermediate People's Court of Shijiazhuang, according to a joint statement by the Hebei Jiahai Auction Co. Ltd., Hebei Dongfang Auction Co. Ltd. and Hebei General Auction Co. Ltd..

Sanlu Group's land use rights, buildings, machines and equipment will be up for bidding.

Assets also include Sanlu Group's investment rights and interests over three other dairy companies, the joint statement said.

Sanlu Group failed to repay outstanding debts, which surpassed its assets. It met the conditions for bankruptcy, according to the court order.

Sanlu Group has 274 creditors, the largest being Sanlu Business and Trade Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the group itself. The other creditors include banks, distributors and suppliers.

On December 19, the Sanlu group borrowed 902 million yuan (US$132 million) to pay medical fees of children sickened by baby formula tainted with melamine and to compensate victims, which increased its debt to 1.1 billion yuan.

Sanlu leased its plants to a subsidiary of Beijing Sanyuan Foods Co. Ltd. in December, days after the bankruptcy petition was accepted by the Shijiazhuang Intermediate People's Court.

Sanlu stopped production on September 12. Its melamine-tainted baby milk powder was found to have caused the deaths of at least six children and sickened more than 300,000 other children.

Last month, it was fined 49.37 million yuan by the Shijiazhuang court, which also imposed a life sentence for Sanlu chairwoman Tian Wenhua. Tian was convicted of manufacturing and selling fake or substandard products by the Shijiazhuang Intermediate People's Court and sentenced to life in prison.
