Hwa Hong’s revenue plummets 45% to $28m in 2011

As proceeds from its investment securities dropped 37% last year.

According to a financial statement, the group’s revenue decreased by $23.1 million or 45% year on year, from $51.1 million in financial year ended 31 December 2010, to $28.1 million in financial year ended 31 December 2011.

This was mainly due t o:-
a. decrease in proceeds from sale of investment securities amounting to $22 million (FY2011: $12.8 million; FY2010: $34.8 million);
b. decrease in rental income by $ 0.6 million (FY2011: $6.9 million; FY2010: $7.5 million) due to refurbishment of a residential property in the United Kingdom and our warehouse in Paya Lebar;
c. decrease in interest income by $ 3.8 million (FY2011: $3.6 million; FY2010: $7.4 million as an investment security which contributed significantly to interest income was redeemed in 2Q2 009 .

The above decreases were offset by increase in dividend income amounting to $ 3.3 million (FY 2011 : $ 4.1 million; FY2010: $ 0.8 million) due to distribution by a fund in which the Group has a 17.82% interest.

The decrease in revenue of $4.7 million in fourth quarter ended 31 December 2011 over the same quarter in 2010 was due mainly to decrease in proceeds from sale of investments (4Q2011: $1.2 million; 4Q2010 : $5.8 million).

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.
