Tunstall Group: it's a false alarm

Article Abstract:

Tunstall Group saw a drop in its share price following an announcement over sales at Modern Vitalcall which had been acquired in 1995. This follows problems encountered by Tunstall in a previous attempt to diversify. The concern over Modern Vitalcall may be exaggerated since that company provides service contracts for the market for emergency communications for the aged. Tunstall has also increased its earnings and its core business is profitable.
