Shanghai Forte Land Co, China's largest developer listed in Hong Kong by market value, said first-half net income fell 16 percent because the profit a year earlier was boosted by a one-time gain.

Net income slipped to 282 million yuan (US$35.4 million), or 0.116 yuan a share, from 336 million yuan, or 0.146 yuan, the Shanghai-based company said in a Hong Kong stock exchange statement. Sales rose to 974 million yuan from 608 million yuan.

Stripping away one-time effects, profit more than doubled to 271 million yuan from 120 million yuan, the statement said.
