Gall Thomson on the lookout for acquisitions
Article Abstract:
Gall Thomson was demerged from Oceonics in 1996 and has since performed well. The company supplies marine breakaway couplings and runs a supplier of marine survey equipment based in Texas, Survey Equipment Services (SES). Both Gall and SES rely on the petroleum industry for sales. Gall Thomson's patent on the coupling lasts for some 18 months from Jul 1998. The company aims to reduce dependence on the petroleum industry, and has made two acquisitions. Larger acquisitions could follow in seismic or marine areas.

Well-connected but ahead of itself
Article Abstract:
Cambury Investments is an investment company that has not located an appropriate acquisition during the two years of its existence. The company has decided to focus on high-tech stocks, the internet and electronic commerce, with a change in its name to become e-capital investments. The company should benefit from its good connections which allow it to spot investment opportunities. Cambury is carrying out a stock placing and does not plan to invest above 10% of its capital in a single investment.
