Management Consulting Group (MMC) warns again: " it is taking more time than originally anticipated for [North America] revenues to reach required levels, in particular some large potential engagements failed to materialise in North America including the second phase of an existing project not moving forward...revenue will now be below our previous expectations.

A year ago: "the Facility will be capable of receiving vessels by the end of this year, the Directors are not forecasting revenues from operations until the end of the third quarter of 2017 when, subject to securing the Funding, the Facility is expected to be fully operational."

Tanfield Group (TAN) Snorkel Investment Update. "Snorkel were targeting double digit growth in 2017 from their UK manufacturing facility but, given the extent to which the US manufacturing facility is dependent upon Ahern Rentals as its principal customer, it was unclear at that stage whether there would be growth in that facility in 2017. While the Board has not been provided with any information that would allow it to ascertain the level of exact sales achieved by the US manufacturing facility, based on the overall growth in sales, the Board is of the opinion that the US manufacturing facility has likely achieved double digit growth so far this year...[expects] the investment in Snorkel will result in a return to shareholders in the future, however, at the current rate of growth, the Board continues to believe that it will likely not materialise until after 30 September 2018, when the outcome becomes uncertain and could therefore be greater or less than the current carrying value."

I can think of better reasons why H1 rev will be the same as H1... ;-) But never mind - we know what you mean!

This company has form. Lest anyone forget, Bagir went public on 15 April 2014 ... and exactly one month later issued a stonking profit warning and said it was seeking a waiver from its banking covenants. Welcome to AIM!

Pg 46 of The Times today is a reasonably in-depth synopsis of Accrol's problems. Are any board members holders of the business? The amounts of money needed to refinance the business are comparatively small! How have Management managed to place the business in the hands of HSBC with both Debt and Factoring being arranged via The Bank? On the basis the RI shares are being offered at 50p and the current SP is 44.5p clearly something doesn't sound quite right! All opinions gratefully received........
