Kode International Plc shares slumped 50p to 235p on Friday with the news that its Kode Computers subsidiary, formed last year, had experienced a serious and sudden downturn; it is believed the division is over-stocked with Wyse computers which it has been forced to ship at low margins, and pre-tax profits may be as much as UKP1m down on City analysts’ forecasts of UKP3m or so.
