Ltd (SMC), with the registered capital of 1.6 million DEM and a 50%-50% shareholding ratio. Eventually, SMC was liquidated and dissolved at the end of 2001 when both parties’ agreement expired; on the other hand, SME was transferred to SMS to be included in its business category under both parties’ agreement.
