MCI's adventurous plans

These results exceeded the company's prognoses of zł.4.78 million and zł.6.78 million respectively. The group's assets amounted to zł.100 million. The positive figures are the result of selling Process4E and the success of Travelplanet.pl's IPO last year.

MCI has ambitious growth plans for 2006. "We hope to finish the year with a net profit of zł.10.1 million, and zł.10.8 million for the whole group," the president of MCI Management, Tomasz Czechowicz, predicts. This year the company wants to exit between three and seven of its investments, which should give the company zł.10-25 million. Czechowicz added that the value of the company's assets should grow to between zł.133-150 million.

MCI plans around five new investments in 2006, including two abroad - one in the Czech Republic and the other in Romania. The company is also preparing an investment in Ukraine. "Our key goal is increasing our assets to zł.500 million in the next five years. We want to achieve this through developing the companies in our portfolio and through new investments," Czechowicz said.
