KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 21 — UOA Development Bhd’s pre-tax profit for the third quarter (Q3) ended Sept 30, 2017 rose to RM141.48 million from RM138.87 million in the corresponding quarter a year ago.

Revenue increased to RM261.63 million from RM229.57 million previously, it said in a filing to Bursa Malaysia today.

"The total unbilled sales as at Sept 30, 2017 amounted to approximately RM1.41 billion,” said UOA Development,” it said.

On outlook, UOA said, it would maintain its focus on development in Greater Kuala Lumpur and continue to source for opportune development land acquisition at strategic locations. — Bernama
