WORCESTERSHIRE County Cricket Club has announced a pre-tax surplus for the second year running.
The 2004 surplus is £49,839 compared to £46,602 in 2003.
Overall revenue increased by 6.4 per cent, while non-cricket expenditure rose by just 2.6 per cent.
Chief executive, Mark Newton, will present the final figures to the club's AGM on Monday, February 21.
"All our income streams have shown an increase in the last year while our trading expenditure is still well below the 2001 levels," he said.
"Our policy of diverting as much of our resource to cricket, particularly our academy, continues to be our primary financial objective.
"We are particularly pleased to note that revenue from membership subscriptions has risen by 29 per cent in the last two years and gate receipts from the Twenty20 Cup rose by 26 per cent in 2004 despite the fact we had one less home game."
The club's AGM will take place at King's School at 7pm on February 21.
