Koon profit down to S$0.5m in 1H2012

This is despite a 178.4% increase in revenue.

Koon Holdings Limited said it recorded a 178.4% increase in revenue to S$99.3 million as it recorded higher sales contributions across all of its business segments.

Revenue from the Construction division grew 40.5% to S$41.3 million mainly attributable to major projects that were secured in 2011, such as construction work at Tampines Logistics Park, rehabilitation and earthworks at landfill site off Tampines Road as well as construction of Seletar Link and widening of Tampines Expressway.

Meanwhile revenue from the Precast division grew by approximately S$41.6 million or more than six-fold to S$47.9 million in 1H2012. The Group also recorded maiden sales contributions of S$9.7 million and S$0.5 million from its Property and Electric Power Generation respectively.

However, the Group’s profit before tax decreased from S$5.5 million to S$0.9 million in 1H2012, due to the inclusion of S$8.6 million non-operating income in 1H2011 arising from the gain from disposal of property and dividend income from Koon Zinkcon as compared to the net gain on deemed disposal of associate of S$0.6 million for 1H2012.

Overall, net profit attributable to shareholders decreased from S$6.3 million in 1H2011 to S$0.5 million in 1H2012.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
