The decrease in revenue between 2006 and 2007 primarily reflects adverse exchange rate movements and that between 2007 and 2008 reflects further exchange rate movements, especially weakness in the US dollar against the euro. Revenue was also negatively impacted by supply chain issues caused by funding difficulties in the all important Christmas trading period and the closure of unprofitable UK retail outlets
