EIDOS REGAIN FINANCIAL
POISE

[ September 27th 2001 ]
Tomb
Raider publishers Eidos Interactive have bounced
back after last weeks disappointing interim figures
with their share price closing at 155p and their
traded volume totalling 622,909. The turnaround
was helped by news that chief executive Michael
McGarvey and development director Jeremy Heath
Smith had acquired 31,000 shares each at 160p.
Although
the financial outlook for Eidos remains positive
after a grim period earlier this year when a £55m
share-issue package was accepted by shareholders,
Chairman Ian Livingston warned that the recent
tragedy in the U.S. could impair the companies
turnaround: "Consumer confidence in the USA and
the rest of the world may be affected by the tragic
events of last week."
The London
based publishers will release Core Designs rustic
adventure Project Eden later this month with Herdy
Gerdy making its digital debut in October/November.
