Its revenue fell 33% to RM369.74 million from RM551.84 million.'' Pre-tax loss was RM3.74 million compared with pre-tax profit of RM47.37 million. But at net profit level it posted earnings of RM1.7 million, a contrast from the RM29.73 million a year ago.
'The group's revenue for the second quarter and six months period ended June 30, 2010 was RM369.7 million and RM779.4 million respectively, compared with RM551.8 million and RM988.5 million in the corresponding periods in 2009, representing a decrease of 33.0% and 21.2% respectively.
'The decline was mainly due to lower revenue generated in the main divisions as a result of lower number of projects awarded in the market during 2009 which affected performance in the period under review.
'The results before taxation for the second quarter and six months period ended 30 June 2010 was a loss of RM6.4 million and a profit of RM32.0 million respectively compared with a profit of RM55.3 million and RM110.3 million in the corresponding periods in 2009.
