“I have just read the Financial Performance Review, it is a very good and useful report to have. I like the separate analysis of the key figures to the business (ie. sales, GP, NP, bank etc), the graphs reflecting these figures show very clearly at a glance the last 5 years performance and comparing the graphs to each other is very informative. Even though the figures are always available having it condensed into one report with graphs and which is explained thoroughly, makes management discussion easier and quicker”
