Administrator Nick Edwards said the decision had been made after assessing HMV's financial position.

EAST YORKS: The results of a lie detector test performed on convicted killer Lyndon Coles should be known by the end of the week, say his family.
Coles, 49, has just been released after serving 19 years for the murder of Shane George, 21, in Coltman Street, west Hull, in January 1994.
On Sunday, Coles' father, Bob, arranged for his son to sit a test in a bid to prove his innocence.
Mr Coles said: "The findings have been passed to our lawyer. We should know the results by Thursday."
Mr George was killed with a shotgun as he answered his front door.
