Benalec land sale to boost earnings

DESPITE the significant losses reported by Benalec Holdings Bhd in its fourth quarter of RM15.63mil for the period ended June 30, 2014, the company’s executives say it was a kitchen-sinking exercise.

One of the factors, chief financial officer Kenneth Chin says, was the interruption during the period leading up to the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) for shareholders to approve the heads of agreement (HoA) undertaken to settle the earlier boardroom tussle.
