transitional profits Explanation: This is really just a guess to suggest a possible term for you to research. I thought at first your text was speaking about rents specifically, but then I found the original document online and it seemed more like profits. There is a term "transitional profits" that has a specific accounting/finance meaning, but I've been unable to determine its precise, dictionary-definition meaning. I found some links below that refer to it, not all of them involving Russia. Hope this helps, or at least leads along the right path! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2006-07-04 13:22:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- (Regarding market reform in Tunisia, Morocco, and Egypt)"Domestic private investment has concentrated in speculative sectors where transitional profits are high" http://www.mafhoum.com/press/49E12.htm "As the complexity of a pricing schedule increases, it takes longer to learn, but in some cases, particularly that of a two-part tariff, the transitional profits outperform those of the simpler pricing schemes, due to the shape of the profit landscape." http://www.research.ibm.com/infoecon/paps/html/ec99_bundle/n... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2006-07-04 13:31:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "New Transitional Profits Tax Rules" Vladimir Tchernik, Oliver Sinton & Anna Voronkova (KPMG) http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/41656/41656.htm |

answer below Explanation: The quoted paragraph suggests that it is an ad-hoc expression invented by the author rather than a business term, therefore Transitional Profit would hardly fit here. The author suggests that the new owners have benefited from "transformation" of formerly state-owned enterprises into joint stock companies (hence the word "transformazionnaya") |
