Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


The following discussion provides only a brief description of the document described below.  The discussion is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the agreement.


On July 30, 2007 our wholly-owned subsidiary, Axion Investment Corp., obtained a loan in the amount of $11.7 million US ($12.5 million Canadian) for the development of the property located at 9655 King George Highway, Surrey, British Columbia.  The loan was obtained through Royal Bank of Canada.  The loan is due to be repaid on June 30, 2009.  The loan accrues interest at the prime rate set by the Royal Bank of Canada plus .50%.  The credit facility is secured by guarantees from Axion Investment Corporation and us and with the property.


The credit facility is conditioned upon a number of requirements being met, including but not limited to, appraisal of the project, an environmental report, a soils report, confirmation of permits and approvals, engagement of a project monitor, schedule of pre-sales contracts, insurance, fixed price contracts for at least 80% of the project hard construction costs, and other requirements that the bank may reasonably require.


The project consists of a retail facility of approximately 4,300 square feet and a residential complex of approximately 80,000 square feet which will consist of 111 condominiums.  The Company has presold all of the condominiums and has placed approximately $2.14 million in deposits into a trust account with Macdonald Realty Ltd.  If the Company is successful in selling all of the condominiums, it expects to receive sale proceeds of approximately $22.4 million.  The Company estimates that the total cost to develop the property will be approximately $17.2 million.  There can be no assurance that the development will be successful or that developing the property in this manner will increase, or even maintain, its value.

Project Monitor’s Standard Terms Of Engagement


1.

Provide a preliminary report that addresses the following:

(a)

A review of the Project plans and specifications for completeness and adequacy, compliance with applicable permits, municipal bylaws and applicable codes to determine whether all costs (including onsite and offsite or external construction or servicing costs, soft costs and financing costs) have been identified in order to fully develop the Project.  Where final plans and specifications have not been provided, please provide comments and recommendations.

(b)

A review of the general contract, head contract, construction management contract and/or material trade contracts (as appropriate) for completeness and consistency with the Project description provided by the Bank and to determine any contract exclusions and/or amendments which may require Project budget adjustments.  Comments on the form of contracts and any risks arising there from should be made.

(c)

A review of all material contractors and/or subcontractors with comments as to their competence, performance capability and experience with the type of project proposed.  Where required, a review of the status of the contractors’ licenses should be undertaken as well. While the final decision on the requirement for bonding remains with the Bank, your review should also include advice on bonding.

(d)

A review of soil tests, geotechnical reports and/or environmental assessments to ascertain that any material recommendations appear to have been incorporated into the plans and specifications and the Project budget.

(f)

A review of the Project construction time schedule in the context of the Project plans and specifications, general contract and head contracts to determine whether it is realistic.

(g)

A review of all material cost items included (or which, in the project monitor’s opinion, ought to be included) in the Project budget with a view to determining the completeness, adequacy and reasonableness of the Project budget.  This review is to be based on:

(i)

In the case of a construction management form of administration or non-arm’s length general contract, a detailed construction estimate prepared by the project monitor OR a review by the project monitor of arm’s length trade contracts substantiating 70% of the construction budget together with a review of trade quotations or an estimate prepared by the project monitor for the remainder.

(ii)

In the case of a fixed price arm’s length general contract, a review by the project monitor of such arm’s length fixed price general contract.

In all cases, appropriate front-end loading checks are to be performed by the project monitor to ensure that the estimated cost to complete is adequate.

(h)

A review of the Project budget and cash flow projections and advise of any revisions thereto that may appear necessary.  The Project cash flow must show cash inflows and outflows separately and identify equity, financing, interim lease and/or sale revenues and GST, PST (where any portion is refundable), QST and HST.  The foregoing reviews should also include a specific opinion on the adequacy of the contingency allowance in the budget and legally required contributions to the contingency reserve fund of the applicable strata corporation (B.C. only).

For residential projects (excluding land servicing), confirmation of registration of the Project with an acceptable new home warranty program.

In addition, the review is to determine whether purchaser upgrades have a material effect on the Project budget and whether or not the upgrades have been paid for directly to the Borrower.

(o)

Comments on any disagreements with the Borrower with respect to any of the above items.  Where the project monitor’s review has led to changes that have been agreed to by the Borrower and the Bank, the preliminary report must reflect this.

A report showing the cost of work completed to date, the cumulative positive or negative value of any change orders, the amount of any holdbacks under any applicable real property lien legislation and the current estimate of cost to complete the Project.  The report will segregate construction costs from soft costs and its appendices will identify the contractors on the Project and will quantify the amount to be advanced to the Borrower and the amount of holdbacks to be retained, released and/or advanced into a project holdback account  (if applicable).  The amount of holdbacks to be released is to be supported by a properly sealed CCDC Form 9B-2001 from each subcontractor to which a holdback is being released (or, alternatively, such other form or Statutory Declaration which contains, at a minimum, the information contained in Form 9B-2001).

In addition, the review is to determine whether purchaser upgrades have a material effect on the Project budget and whether or not the upgrades have been paid for directly to the Borrower.

(d)

Comments on material changes to the draft plans and specifications where final versions have been provided at the time of the draw.

(e)

Comments on any potential problem areas which have been identified and which may affect completion of the Project in accordance with the budget and construction time schedule, together with recommendations for budget and construction schedule revisions.

(f)

A certificate from the project monitor in the form attached as Form A or alternatively, a reporting letter that contains, at a minimum, the information contained in Form A.

(g)

A certificate from the Borrower in the form attached as Form B and, where applicable, Form D.

Exhibit 99


ABLEAUCTIONS OBTAINS DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AND $11.7 MILLION CREDIT FACILITY FOR INVESTMENT PROPERTY


Coquitlam, British Columbia – July 30, 2007 – Ableauctions.com (AMEX:AAC) announced today that it has obtained a development permit from the City of Surrey and a credit facility from the Royal Bank of Canada for the development of its proposed condominium project in Surrey.  The amount of the credit facility is $11.7 million.  The Company estimates that the total cost to develop the property will be approximately $17.2 million, which includes land, soft costs, construction and financing.


The project is located at 9655 King George Highway.  The Company acquired the 1.46 acre property in August 2005 for $1,270,000.  The project consists of a retail facility of approximately 4,300 square feet and a residential complex of approximately 80,000 square feet which will consist of 111 condominiums.  The Company has presold all of the condominiums and has placed approximately $2.14 million in deposits into a trust account with Macdonald Realty Ltd.  If the Company is successful in selling all of the condominiums, it expects to receive sale proceeds of approximately $22.4 million.


The estimated date for issuance of the building permit from the City of Surrey and the start of construction is August 15, 2007.  The estimated date of completion is March 15, 2009.


Under the terms of the credit facility issued by the Royal Bank of Canada, the borrower, Axion Investment Corporation, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, is required to spend approximately $3.92 million on the project.  To date it has spent approximately $3.5 million.  The credit facility is secured by guarantees from Axion Investment Corporation and Ableauctions.com Inc. and with the property.  The advances will accrue interest at the rate of prime plus .50%.


The credit facility is conditioned upon a number of requirements, including appraisal of the project, an environmental report, a soils report, confirmation of permits and approvals, engagement of a project monitor, schedule of pre-sales contracts, insurance, fixed price contracts for at least 80% of the project hard construction costs, and other requirements that the bank may reasonably require.  


If the development is suspended for any reason, including but not limited to the Company’s inability to obtain financing or permits, it will not be able to recover all of its expenses.  There can be no assurance that the development will be successful or that developing the property in this manner will increase, or even maintain, its value.
