Meanwhile, Hansa's revenue has slightly increased to Tk2 crore despite the pandemic.

"Business is dull due to coronavirus. Though the hotel is open, there is not much activity now. However, the restaurants of the hotel are open and the food items are being sold online,".

During the three months till the end of March, Unique hotels' net profit fell by 69 percent to stand at Tk5 crore, and earnings per share was Tk0.17.

In the three quarters of the current financial year, the total net profit dropped 34 percent to Tk34.91 crore, and earnings per share was Tk1.17. The revenue was Tk152.88 crore during the period. As per the Q3 accouts, the profit declined due to the unrealized loss from the capital market investment.

In March this year, the company took a loan of Tk100 crore from Dutch Bangla Bank.

Unique Hotel's projects

The company has invested around Tk1,600 crore for building three posh hotels – Sheraton Dhaka Hotel, Hyatt Centric and St Regis. Sheraton was set to go into operation by March this year.

Sunday's closing price per share was Tk39.90 at the Dhaka Stock Exchange. The highest price of its share was Tk53.50 within the last one year.
