(Sharecast News) - Mirada on Monday swung to an interim profit following the $2.7m sale of one of its businesses and a slight increase in revenue.
The digital TV software provider recorded a profit before tax of $98,000 for the six months ended 30 September, compared with a $2.3m loss a year earlier, thanks to a $1.7m gain on the sale of Mirada Connect

Chief executive José Luis Vázquez said: "Together, these positive developments provide considerable confidence going forward. We are pleased to report that we are trading in line with market expectations and we look forward to the remainder of our financial year with confidence."
Mirada shares were down 14.69% at 136.50p at 0958 GMT.
