Sales totaled £2.9mln in the six months to December, with £2.2mln generated in the last four months.

In that time, 107,000 domain names were registered for Minds + Machines’ portfolio, of which 10% were sold through its own registrar.”

“In total over the year to December the group earned US$36mln (£21.9mln) from the 21 private auctions where it withdrew its application and the profit on these top-level domain auctions will be not less than US$33mln (approximately £20mln).”Acquiring six top-level domains cost the group US$25.9mln (£15.8mln).

At end-December, M+M had cash of US$45.8mln (£29.5mln).
