Y2K bug snacks on ComputerLand's profits

Sales slump adds to tale of woe

Published Tuesday 2nd November 1999 12:36 GMT

ComputerLand UK issued a profit warning yesterday, blaming poor product sales and delays over Y2K. The IT services company said that product sales in September and October had been lower than expected and would result in "disappointing" full-year results. This latest move added to a list of cautions ComputerLand has issued over its performance. Yesterday shares closed unchanged at 56.5 pence, valuing the company at £5.2 million.
