BUZZ-Sprue Aegis: profit warning sends stock down 45%

** Worst day ever for AIM-listed home safety products supplier Sprue Aegis (LSE: SPRP.L - news) (floated April 2014)

** Co expects FY2015 operating profit £7.3 mln v £12.1 mln it forecast previously

** A result of co ramping up warranty provision after identifying issue in batteries from third-party supplier that may cause premature low battery warning chirp in some of its smoke alarms

** Westhouse Securities suspends its forecasts, target price and recommendation pending final audited results next week
