Zamano hopeful of strong end to year

IRISH mobile phone content company Zamano is hopeful of a strong end to the year, leading to growth in 2011, despite lurching into the red in the first six months of 2010.

The company posted a pre-tax loss of €6.32 million for the six months to the end of June, a figure which compared unfavourably to the €607,000 pre-tax profit for the same period last year.

An operating loss of just over €6m was down from a first-half operating profit of €949,000 last year. Group revenue, meanwhile, fell from €13.3m to €8.75m.
