    b.) By looking at the statement, there are a few reasons for concern. The first thing I would like to point out is that even if the business is making a profit, the margin from 2011 to 2012 has decreased dramatically. The net profit is £249,200 less than previous year. A decreasing net profit means less money to spend in to the business for next year. Another cause for concern is the cost of goods sold for 2012, a cost of £793,300, compared to the gross profit of £799,000. This is concerning as the business is spending too much money on stock without barely making a profit.…

    New retail space We opened nine new stores in the year, at Giffnock, Gorleston, Whitefield, Kidderminster, Granton, Northallerton, Blandford Forum, Clifton (Nottingham) and Holyhead. Two of these (Giffnock and Kidderminster) were replacements of existing stores and two (Blandford and Northallerton) were former Safeways, which had been closed since the acquisition due to their small size. Our decision to reopen them reflects our growing confidence in the operation of, and return from, smaller stores, and we have been pleased with their performance. A further two of the stores (Gorleston and Clifton) were previous Co-op/Somerfield stores that we acquired and converted to Morrisons. In both cases we saw very significant uplifts in sales compared to those achieved under their former ownerships, and as a result we were pleased, later in the year, to agree the acquisition of a further tranche of stores from the Co-op/Somerfield that we will open in…
