The company's consolidated revenue for the first quarter of 2013 amounted to EUR 11.9 million compared with EUR 8.5 million for the same period of 2012.

The main contributors to the top line are the subsidiaries in the Entertainment business - mainly Vega (venue management) - which generated first quarter revenue of EUR 10.4 million versus EUR 7 million in the year-earlier period. The total also includes rental revenue derived from the group's real estate assets for an amount of EUR 1.5 million, stable year-on-year.
