Revenue for the three months ended June 30 fell 78.4 per cent to S$37.4 million from S$172.8 million mainly due to the higher sales recognition of two residential development projects in Melbourne and Gold Coast which were completed in the second quarter of last year.

No dividend was recommended for the period, the same as the previous corresponding period.
