YNH Property enjoys higher Q1 pre-tax profit

YNH Property Bhd achieved a higher pre-tax profit of RM21.43 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared with RM20.55 million registered in the previous corresponding quarter.

However, revenue declined to RM55.26 million, from RM93.80 million, registered previously.

In a filing to Bursa Malaysia today, the group said its performance was mainly derived from the recognition of progressive sales of its inventories, development properties and commercial properties.

It said the global economic climate remained challenging after almost three years from the 2008 financial crisis.

"Notwithstanding the challenging environment, the group had been achieving strong demand for its projects such as Manjung Point Seksyen 5, Taman Seri Melor, Taman Sejati III and Taman Pantai Remis in Seri Manjung as well as the balance units in Ceriaan Kiara in Month Kiara," it said.

The company expects sales from both the township projects in Manjung and Klang Valley to continue its contribution to the group's income.
