在困境中挣扎求存的中国公司正借助火爆的房地产市场来提振其财务状况。

　　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.

　　彭博社根据证券交易所披露信息统计得出，随着房价持续走高，9月至少有12家在内地交易所上市的公司宣布出售持有房产的计划。

　　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家公司上半年亏损，4家公司被交易所纳入观察名单，可能退市，多数公司的业务与房地产无关。

　　"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.

　　上海金旷投资管理公司首席策略师张海东表示：“这些公司的核心业务面临盈利压力，因此寻求在房价较高的时候出售房产，为财务报表增色、防止出现退市的局面。”
