KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 24): GEORGE KENT (M) BHD [] posted slightly lower net profit of RM5.11 million for the second quarter ended July 31, 2013, as compared to RM5.79 million in the previous corresponding period.

Revenue for the second quarter increased by 46% to RM82.95 million from RM56.78 million previously, it said in a filing on Bursa today.

The board declared an interim dividend of 2 sen less 25% tax per share.

The company said although it achieved higher CONSTRUCTION [] revenue, the overall gross margin was lower due mainly to lower manufacturing revenue and lower construction margin.

It said the Ampang LRT extension project is expected to contribute positively to its earnings.

It said it is optimistic of its prospects for the current financial year ending January 31, 2014.
