KEY POINTS:
Investment company Viking Capital says profits for its first 10 months are likely to exceed $2.4 million.
Chairman Brent King told shareholders at a special meeting in Auckland yesterday that the only question mark on the prediction for the financial year to the end of March was the uncertain state of the world's sharemarkets.
He also revealed Viking was buying financial services company Investment Research Group for $2.5 million, to be paid for with a mixture of cash and Viking shares, The Dominion Post reported today.
