Konka Denies Acquisition Reports
Konka Group Co, China's second-largest television maker, denied reports that the company would be taken over by local rival TCL Group.

"There's no such thing," Konka said in a statement.

Konka last month said it expects to post a loss for 2001, its first in eight years, because sales slumped and price cuts squeezed profit margins.

Konka had a first-half loss of 191 million yuan (US$23 million), erasing most of its 230 million yuan (US$27.6 million) profit for the whole of 2000. It will report full-year results on March 23.

The company's television sales improved in the first two months of the year, said company vice-president Hou Songrong, without elaborating.
