First quarter revenues grew an attractive 16 percent, but the second quarter revenues were flat, at $340 million bringing the half year sales to $760 million up 8.6 percent from $700 million for the similar period in 2020. “Revenues and profits for the three months ended October 2021, were directly affected by the lock-down period effected during the late summer that resulted in 17 lost sales days during the quarter and unprecedented disruptions to the construction planning and work cycle as well as to the supply chain for construction inputs. Against this backdrop, we are satisfied to have been able to maintain both revenues and profits for the second quarter at that same level as the prior year,” chairman, Jeffrey Hall advised shareholders in his report accompanying the quarterly.

Other income brought in $11 million for the half year compared to $5 million in 2020 and $9.5 million for the quarter versus $1.4 million being interest income in the 2020 quarter.
Administrative and other expenses slipped marginally in the half year to $73 million from $76 million last year and rose moderately from $39 million to $43 million for the quarter. Finance cost amounted to $5 million for the half year against $4.44 million in 2020 and the last quarter $2.2 million with the 2020 period amassing $1.9 million.
