Starburst crashes into the red with $0.5m loss in Q1

Due to a steep decline in recognized revenue.

Mainboard-listed engineering group Starburst Holdings reported a net loss of $0.5m in the first quarter.

This compares against an attributable profit of $6.1m recorded in the previous corresponding period.

Starburst attributed the decline to lower revenue recognition, as a larger proportion of revenue is recognised in the fabrication work phase as opposed to the installation work phase.

There was a larger proportion of revenue recognised in the fabrication work phase in 1Q2014, as compared to the installation work phase in 1Q2015, which contributed to the decrease in revenue this quarter.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
