of finance contracts signed during the year, from £557 million to
£424 million in the previous reporting period.
Operating profit was down too, totalling £22.3
million as opposed to £28.2 million in the previous reporting
period.
The pre-tax profit improvement was largely
driven by a 38 percent reduction in finance costs, from £23.1
million to £16.8 million.
However, increased tax expenses of £1.5
million led to an after-tax profit of £3.9 million, compared to
£4.2 million in 2008.
