Fishman Holdings' Russian real estate subsidiary Mirland Development Corporation plc (AIM:MLD; TASE: MRLD.B1) today published its unaudited financial report for the first quarter of 2008. The company posted a net profit of $4.6 million ($0.04 per share), compared with a net loss of $1.3 million for the corresponding quarter of 2007.
Mirland posted $4 million in rental income for the first quarter, triple the $1.5 million for the corresponding quarter, while revenue from management fees rose to $547,000 from $189,000. Total revenue rose to $4.5 million from $1.5 million.
