Accumulated profits at Irish actor Chris O’Dowd’s UK production firm last year increased more than seven-fold to £76,705 (€89,295).
New figures show that the cash held at Hot Cod Productions Ltd increased from £4,627 to €78,896 in the 12 months to the end of October 31st last.
The firm’s accumulated profits during the year increased from £10,704 to £76,705.
O'Dowd's Hot Cod Productions was one of the companies behind his very successful Moone Boy series broadcast last year to critical and popular acclaim. The upturn in Hot Cod Production's fortunes coincided with the success of O'Dowd's semi-autobiographical Moone Boy and the 33-year old's continuing rise in Hollywood.
Separate accounts filed by the Irish-based production firm behind Moone Boy, Moone Boy Ltd, show that it recorded a loss of €675,225 in the 12 months to the end of December 31st last.
However, the loss is understood to be attributed to the up-front costs of producing the series and, based on the success of the first series, Sky has already recommissioned a second and third series with the second instalment to be broadcast this year and the third in 2014.
