Nottinghamshire have announced pre-tax profits of £148,426 for the year ending September 30, 2008 the club's members have been told.
The county are forging ahead with improvements at Trent Bridge ahead of the ICC World Twenty20 games to be staged there this summer.
Ray Dawson, chairman of the commercial and financial sub-committee, told the annual general meeting at County Hall: "We saw the benefits of significant investments in the venue and the team in 2008 and it is pleasing to have recorded a pre-tax surplus.
"Like any business, we won't be immune from the economic downturn but I firmly believe that we have laid sufficient foundations to emerge strongly when recovery comes."
Director of cricket, Mick Newell, added: "The bowlers were superb throughout the season and we'll be looking for our top order batsmen to show an improvement to help the middle order.
"Planning for 2009 has been challenging because of the uncertainty surrounding the availability of our England players. We should treat any appearance by Ryan Sidebottom and Stuart Broad as a bonus and we also expect Samit Patel and Graeme Swann to be away for long periods."
