SINGAPORE (Feb 12): Property developer and construction company Keong Hong Holdings saw its earning fall 53.6% to $1.8 million for the 1Q ended December, from $3.8 million a year ago.
This was mainly due to the absence of foreign exchange gain of $1.5 million registered a year ago, as well as higher administrative expenses.
Administrative expenses jumped 44.2% to $4.7 million in 1Q18 as a result of higher legal and professional fees, higher depreciation expense, higher staff and administrative overheads, and foreign exchange loss.
