k1 Ventures posts $802,000 profit

In Q1 2011 there was a loss of $883,000.

The Directors of k1 Ventures Limited announced the unaudited results of the Group for the first quarter ended 30 September 2012.

The announcement said Group revenue of $19.9 million was $4.5 million above that of the comparable prior year quarter driven by an increase in revenue from transportation leasing related activities of $3.5 million.

This includes gross proceeds from held for sale locomotives of $3.4 million and higher railcar leasing revenue driven by an increase in utilisation.

Proceeds from the sale of investments also increased by $963,000 compared to the prior year period.

Meanwhile Group operating profit was $2.3 million for the quarter compared to an operating loss of $905,000 in the corresponding prior year period.

The improvement in operating results was driven by the increase in revenue and a reduction in Helm operating expenses, including lower depreciation and amortisation.

After taking into account income tax and non-controlling interests, net profit attributable to shareholders was $802,000 for the first quarter compared to a loss of $883,000 in the previous year. Profit per share was 0.04 cents.

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.
