Gross revenue for the half-year period was S$39 million, 34.8 per cent lower than a year ago at S$59.8 million. The manager attributed the fall in revenue to lower rentals in its hotel arm, as well as rental rebates and lower occupancy for its offices.

Total distributable income for the half year dipped 29.5 per cent year on year to S$27.5 million from S$38.9 million the previous year.
