Trading update
The board of directors of MEM ("the Board") is today providing an update
regarding the Company's financial position.
The Company acquired the UGD/Britannia Music business ("UGD") in October 2006.
On 6 March 2007, the Board announced that MEM would make a loss before tax and
exceptional items for the year ending 31 March 2007 of approximately #1 million.
In the same announcement, the Board pointed out that legacy issues inherited
with the UGD business had led to lower levels of sales at UGD than anticipated.
Financial position
Following the completion of the post integration review by MEM's recently
appointed COO, Andrew Dickson, it has now become apparent that UGD has higher
levels of bad debts and integration costs than expected. As a result the Board
is in discussions with its bankers and advisors regarding funding and strategic
alternatives, which may include further debt facilities or an equity financing.
A further update will be given as soon as practicable.
