Istrabenz Holding Company Barely in Black Last Year

Koper, 28 February - The holding company of the food, tourism and energy conglomerate Istrabenz finished 2005 with a net profit of SIT 149m (EUR 622,000), which is 98% less than a year earlier. The drop is a result of the windfall profit the company made in 2004 due to the sale of its 50% stake in fuel trader OMV Istrabenz.
