Get Nice (HKG:0064) recorded a rise in attributable profit for six months ended Sept. 30 to HK$49.5 million from HK$31.4 million in the year-ago period, a Thursday Hong Kong bourse filing said.

The money lending and property development company's basic EPS was HK$0.08 in the half year, up from HK$0.065 in the corresponding period of the last year.

Revenue fell 21% to HK$171.7 million in the interim period from HK$217.3 million a year prior, due to a decline in interest income from the margin financing business, interest from bank balance and time deposits, and property rental income.

The firm attributed the higher profit to a lower impairment loss on accounts receivable from margin clients and the acquisition of non-controlling interests in a unit.

The firm declared an interim dividend of HK$0.05 per share for the period, payable on or around Dec. 30 to shareholders of record on Dec. 19.
