The operator of a chain of continental supermarkets, Hyparlo has posted a net loss of €2.81m, a dramatic fall compared to the year earlier profit of €2.46m. The company believes that the dramatic reduction was due to the production costs of two new supermarkets, in Romania and Italy, and expect the financial year profits to be considerably lower than usual because of the French taxes on its profits and the amortization of store remodelling.
