UNITED Engineers saw net profit shrink 25 per cent to S$8.3 million for the second quarter ended June 30, down from S$11.01 million in the year-ago period, the property development and engineering group announced on Wednesday.

Revenue fell 8 per cent year-on-year to S$88.14 million. Of UE's three business segments, property rental and hospitality was the only one to see revenue rise year-on-year in the second quarter, up 5 per cent to S$32.9 million.
