she-ra, I'm not sure what you mean? As I see it, any negativity is linked to the electronics business, not the part supply business. Certainly within Servicesource we are still hitting target, and as the various companies integrate cost efficiences will emerge, buying power will increase, and relationships with customers will strengthen - but it will take time. What I can say is that the plan is to turn the individual sites into "centres of excellence" so for example the Nottingham site will become the centre of excellence for Enterprise/mid-range equipment and expertise, to showcase our capability to the likes of Sun, HP and IBM, this is a market that has huge potential.

Hi Targatarga - business is ticking over nicely, but I think it will take off once the restructuring takes place, theres a lot of activity taking place at board level at the moment. If half of the deals come off that are being talked about, then we should be substantially increasing revenue and profit within the next 12 months. I think it'll be mid-March before theres anything significant to report. I'll keep you updated if I hear anything in the meantime...

Hello,

As an employee of the newly acquired SSE, I personally think this is a good move. SSE were the main competitor to CPI and EAF (two of the companies that are part of ACAL), one of the main reasons ACAL bought us out is for the strong management team (which forms the bulk of the new exec team of Acal Supply Chain Ltd). There is a lot of potential for growth, particularly as companies cut back on new IT spend, they will look more and more to the 2nd user/grey market to cut costs, which is the ideal territory for the newly expanded group. We are also moving into the high-end mid-range/Enterprise market, and are working on several big contracts in this area.

live - i was initially sceptical on acquisition but after reading document it's probably quite good...company seems to like niche markets [cash machines]. regards

EGM today at 11.00 to vote on initial 75% acquisition of Service Source Europe Limited. Sense approval will be a formality.

new low....

[rainmaker] 22/12/2008 20:11

Acal Chairman, Richard Moon's £50k's worth £30k for him and another £20k for a Company where he is a Director.By my calculation Net Working Capital is 113p a share so with the share price of 90p,a bargain ratio of 1.25. Very thinly traded.

regards

[targatarga] 15/12/2008 12:32

director buys....about time

[targatarga] 08/12/2008 13:08

[rainmaker] 04/12/2008 11:23

it goes ex dividend and the price drops then starts to move up

regards

[rainmaker] 04/12/2008 00:06

Yep, it's a 3.5p interim dividend so that approx a 3.5% yield just for the last six months.

regards

[liveinhope] 26/11/2008 07:27

Yes. Now out.

[jeff h] 26/11/2008 01:33

Interims are Wednesday aren't they?

[rainmaker] 26/11/2008 01:08

Results out on Thursday and surely there will be a big dividend yield here and the share price will head north.

regards

just found an old copy of the daily telegraph. In Dec 1999 Acal had a share price of 537p and a mk of 138m.
