Business review
The decline of sales of physical music slowed during this financial year, with fewer outlets closing and more encouraging business from the ones which remained. The inference to draw from this is that physical music, represented by CD and LP formats, is here to stay.
Profitability was enhanced by the relative strength of the Sterling against the Euro and USD.
Outlook for the future is good, with the pool of competition diminishing.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
On behalf of the board
