Simon Fox, who resigned last week after six years in office, said the company's financial situation was stable. Asked if he would bet his house on the chain to be near its centenary in 2021, they hesitated. . "This is a big bet that I'm not paris my house on it," he said, adding: ". HMV has come a long way, but that does not mean not working in difficult markets"

HMV has penciled in profits of "at least" 10 million pounds next year, after the movie and music companies have intervened to support the chain and demand for new products such as headphones and tablet computers to a collapse in sales floor CDs, DVDs and games.
Fox hope HMV, which reported a loss of £ 16.2m for the year to April 28, returns to black as the profit figure was reached without "make assumptions about the heroic turnover. "The optimism was a relief to the city, amid fears of their performance may have deteriorated due to the announcement that both Fox and CFO David Wolffe went. Shares, which initially rose nearly 16%, closed 3.6p to 0.05p.
- The pace of structural change will continue, said Mr. Fox, with the value of physical music sales set to fall by another 20% this year, anywhere between 10% and 13% for DVDs. However, it is expected that the business of computer games will be driven by market share gains following the demise of play rival.
Last year Waterstones bookshops were sold to a fund controlled by Russian billionaire Alexander Mamut for 53 million pounds and sales of its music division in vivo. It has already sold the Hammersmith Apollo, one of the most popular in London, for £ 32m.
