ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

At the annual general meeting of Eurodis Electron PLC today, Mr Doug Rogers,
Chairman, is making the following statement:

"In recent weeks there are signs that growth in demand for electronic components
in Asia is continuing at a lower pace and this has brought global supply more
closely in line with demand. Where previously we had seen some products on
allocation - where suppliers ration supplies - lead times have mainly now
reverted to normal levels. As a result of this, we believe that inventory levels
in the global supply chain may be higher than normal, a number of distributors
are reducing their stock levels and upward pressure on prices has largely been
eliminated.

In the European market, where Eurodis operates, the underlying consumption of
electronic components has been maintained, but, during September, we have seen
customers taking advantage of reduced lead times by lowering their forward order
commitments. We are, therefore, also taking steps to reduce our inventories. We
continue to control costs tightly to improve efficiency and expect that effects
on sales due to a short term global inventory correction will be offset by lower
operating costs.

We continue to work hard on recovering market share and return the business to
profitability, though, as stated in our results announcement of 27 July 2004,
the pace of this recovery remains difficult to predict."

Commercial Co-operation between Eurodis and ATeG

Eurodis Electron PLC, Europe's third largest pan-European electronic component
distributor, and the Advanced Technology Group (ATeG), an alliance of Europe's
leading independent design distributors, announced today that they have signed
heads of agreement to co-operate in the European market.

Once the agreement is implemented, the ATeG companies will act as sales agents
for Eurodis, and will approach their key customers with a much expanded line
card. Similarly, Eurodis will act as sales agents for ATeG, and will introduce
ATeG's range to its customers. In each case, the sales agent will be remunerated
by way of commission on completed sales which it achieves for the other party.
This co-operation will effectively increase Eurodis' sales team by about 20%
without any material increase in fixed costs.

The intention is that, in future, key customers of Eurodis and ATeG in Germany,
Switzerland, UK and Spain will have one account manager through whom they will
be able to access the combined line cards, value added services and logistic
solutions of both organisations.

Eurodis has sales coverage in 19 European countries and ATeG strengthens that
coverage as well as bringing its range of franchised products to Germany,
Switzerland, Austria, UK, and Spain.

Eurodis and ATeG anticipate that the co-operation will enable both companies to
increase sales and net earnings by leveraging existing customer and supplier
relationships. Customers will benefit from being able to fulfil more of their
requirements through one sales contact, and suppliers will benefit from
increased sales out of existing franchised distribution channels.

I have looked at CDN in the past. I wouldn't touch it personally. It keeps dropping to a support level. Based on my experience I expect it to drop below trat support soon. If it was testing the support now and then and trading sideways then I maight expect it to bounce off, but it seems to be testing the price at that level too often. If it does drop though the support then you can expect a faster fall afer that.

As the experts have taken over my thread I would like to ask them a question:

Q. Can you please tell me why the price has still not dropped yet. I would think about 3 million in sells would have gone through now in the last 2 days...Yet the price has not fallen..Why are the Market Makers absorbing the shares. In addition...why have the instituitons who we can call stupid as you guys think the price will be going down bought 100 million shares etc (holdings in my header post) into this company.

A.

Ps. Haystack...Why do have to repeat your drivel everyday...although I can't see your posts...your name is sticking out too much on the sides of the frame.

If you can only see is name how do you know it is drivel. ?

It can be witnessed on the ADVFN threads - VTB and ELH.

There was talk of a merger with Abacus in March(Shares Mag 11-17 March)and that in there opinion this sector was on the mend. It also said that the management that made a string of acquisitions and lost control has since been replaced.Is this a possible reason why investors see Eurodis as a Hold for the moment? Being a share holder I admit to feeling cautious and would not take much for me to bale out.

SueHelen
I thought the discussion that we were happening today was quite sensible. There are clearly several other people who are not happy with ELH.

As for why the price has not dropped after the sells today, I have no idea any more than anyone else. There may be a big buy going through. There are plenty of reasons why share price do not move on sells. I dare say we may find out later. Perhaps the price will drop later. The MMs may even put the price up briefly to pass on the stock to punters they can suck in.

The fact is that this has been dropping steadily and is still very vunerable due to past business problems and debt.

wilfagg
Do investors see it as a hold? Shares magazine for instance calls it as a SELL today.

SueHelen
It is interesting to see that you claim to filter me on this BB and do not filter me on ADVFN. From previous experience I have found that few people actually filer anyone. It is used more as an insult. As in 'look how much I hate you - I have filtered you'. LOL

????????????

Haystack - Do you think its possible that shares are being accumulated for a possible bid for EUrodis and not a merger and that is also assisting the price to be stable?I take your point about Shares mag comment which I had not seen.I do not know the content but it seems a significant change to their March comment?Do they make any reference to Abaccus in the article?

you can say whatever you like about sue and her tips , but they always cause a reaction . the girls never boring , is she.personally i liked cfp and bought . intend to hold long term , regardless of what sue does. i look at most peoples tips and then dmor. i dont fancy this one. i did fancy cfp and asos , so i bought. still looking at cdn. you do what you do , sue . we all make our own choices.

willfag
No. The volumes are far too small for buying prior to a bid. 1M shares is worh only about 50k.

bosley
I have no quarrel with Sue at all. I am just surprised at the reaction I received when I was negative about ELH. I haven't looked at any of her tips to be honest.

Thanks for your views Haystack...ouch a 1 million sell and the price has remained unchanged.

I did not mean just the sale s today as there has been quite a lot of sales recently , far outweighing buys(regretably)thanks for comments

The market makers must be stupid Willfagg...for absorbing all the selling yesterday and today and there's been plenty last week as well.

The company statement says everything i.e.it is a very bad company.
Faulty analysis = Buyers
Correct analysis = Sellers
Indecisive analysis = Holders

2.79M shares traded and almost all sells. A 1M sell announced at the end included in that figure. Something strange is going on. I can only think that there is a big seller who has 5p in mind and won't sell less than that. The MMs may put the price up tomorrow to pass the stock on unless they have a buyer who has not completed their buy yet.

Eurodis are unlikely to be bid for because most competitors are likley to be able to win business through attrition. A lot of ELH competitors have a lower cost base so they can turn the screw tighter if they wish and while they will be able to survive competitors with a higher cost base will struggle.

If you bought a portfolio of ten of these companies then two will go bust, two will fly to the moon and the rest do nothing.

I suggest positive posters analyse the company statement again and give us
ONE reason to buy.

SueHelen,
Please desist from your constant verbal attack on haystack e.g.drivel

I had a nose at the balance sheet and depending upon how things have gone recently I reckon the funding raised probably still is not enough to stave off possible bankruptcy. I took the last interim balance sheet and rebased a few figures. Still a lot of risk in this. If they can't turn things around quickly with a heavily dilutive 2 for 1 rights (rescue) issue then it looks pretty bleak.

Reminds me of DTC a few years ago.

ELH making a move up - results on Tuesday - some big trades today
