JAC debt impairment pushes PEC into the red; halves dividend
THE impairment of a S$19 million debt due from Jurong Aromatic Corporation (JAC) has pushed specialist engineering group PEC into the red for the 2015 financial year.
While PEC had earlier recorded a net profit of S$7.17 million in its unaudited financial statements, audited results showed that it made a net loss attributable to shareholders of S$6.89 million.
In view of this, the firm's board has halved its proposed final tax-exempt cash dividend for FY2015, from two Singapore cents per share to one Singapore cent.
