The Pepperwort accounts show that at the end of December the company was sitting on accumulated profits of €149,242.
In a buoyant year for the business, the cash funds increased more than threefold to €161,100.
Aggregate pay to directors for the year totalled €65,077 and directors took no pay in the previous year.
Dunphy’s wife, Jane Gogan is managing director of the enterprise and is also listed as a director. The couple launched The Stand in November 2016.
Last year, Dunphy moved to voluntarily wind up his other media firm, Festuca Ltd, and a liquidator’s final statement of account shows €392,931 was available to return to the firm’s shareholders after expenses were paid out.
