DAIMLERCHRYSLER AG: Chrysler COO to Inherit Zetsche's Post
----------------------------------------------------------
Chrysler's current chief operating officer will replace president
and Chief Dieter Zetsche by January, said the Associated Press.

Tom LaSorda, 51, will take over the top post at Chrysler, as Mr.
Zetsche returns to Germany as head of DaimlerChrysler AG.  The
appointment came almost six years after Mr. LaSorda joined the
company and contributed to improve productivity.

Mr. LaSorda, who spent 23 years at General Motors Corp., has
helped increase manufacturing productivity at Chrysler by nearly
20%.

He said: "With every second you've lost productivity. If you take
a cycle time of 60 seconds and someone is walking for six
seconds, that's 10 percent lost productivity."

Mr. LaSorda, whose father and grandfather were once Chrysler
union leaders in Windsor, Ontario, noted his background would
surely influence his leadership style.

He added: "I'm here to run a company, and the ultimate
decision-makers are the shareholders.  But the other side of the
coin is the ultimate thing that will make us successful is the
people, so we've got to do whatever we can to help them."

Mr. LaSorda also eyes to continue what has been started by Mr.
Zetsche, who made the company profitable again after cutbacks in
1999.

Meanwhile, Michael Robinet, vice president of consultancy CSM
Worldwide, stressed that assigning local people like LaSorda to
top positions at Chrysler will boost further the firm's
confidence.

He said: "Tom LaSorda, who's more of a nuts and bolts type of
guy, needs to take it to the next level and set Chrysler up for
the next decade."

Mr. LaSorda will reportedly prioritize Chrysler's relationships
with suppliers, following his brainchild: awarding suppliers
longer contracts and involving them in the vehicle development
process.  He also wants to improve the company's health care
department.

Earlier this month, Chrysler Group, which consists of the
Chrysler, Jeep(R) and Dodge brands, posted sales of 240,146
vehicles in the U.S., an increase of 27%.  Adjusted for one fewer
selling day in July 2005 compared to July 2004, sales actually
rose 32%.

After launching a record nine new models in 2004, the Chrysler
Group is launching several new models in 2005, including the
all-new 2006 Jeep Commander.  In June, the company started
shipping to dealers the all-new 2006 Dodge Charger, which has
received enthusiastic feedback from the media and great
anticipation among consumers.

DAIMLERCHRYSLER AG: No Takers for Mercedes' Top Job
---------------------------------------------------
Bosses from major car companies are reportedly reluctant to join
DaimlerChrysler AG, says Handelsblatt.

General Motors Corp.'s European chief, Carl-Peter Forster,
Volkswagen AG's Wolfgang Bernhard and Linde AG Chief Executive
Wolfgang Reitzle have reportedly expressed unwillingness to head
the struggling company.  This makes it difficult for Chief
Executive designate Dieter Zetsche to find a new head for the
Mercedes Car group, after Eckhard Cordes offered to resign
earlier this month.

Mr. Cordes' decision followed the disclosure that Mr. Zetsche
would replace Juergen Schremmp as head of DaimlerChrysler.  For a
long time, Mr. Cordes had been viewed as Mr. Schremmp's
successor, but apparently that is not the case now.

Mercedes marketing manager Klaus Meier is reportedly the
favorite to replace Mr. Cordes.

GPC BIOTECH: First-half Net Loss Up 75% to EUR28.5 Million
----------------------------------------------------------
GPC Biotech AG reported financial results for the second quarter
and first six months ended June 30, 2005.

Quarter over quarter results: second quarter 2005 compared to
first quarter 2005

Revenues for the second quarter of 2005 increased 32% to EUR2.5
million compared to EUR1.9 million for the previous quarter.
Research and development (R&D) expenses increased 24% to EUR14.0
million for the second quarter of 2005 compared to EUR11.2
million for the first quarter of 2005.  General and
administrative (G&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2005
increased 69% to EUR6.6 million compared to EUR3.9 million for
the previous quarter.

The increase in G&A expenses during the second quarter of 2005
was mainly due to a non-cash charge of EUR2.8 million related to
a contractual loss on a sublease. Excluding this charge, the
Company's pro forma net loss was -EUR13.3 million in the second
quarter of 2005, an increase of 6% compared to -EUR12.5 million
net loss for the previous quarter.  Inclusive of this charge, the
Company's net loss increased 28% to -EUR16.0 million for the
second quarter of 2005 compared to the previous quarter.  Basic
and diluted loss per share was -EUR0.53 for the second quarter of
2005 compared to -EUR0.43 for the previous quarter.  Figures
related to the acquisition of the assets of Axxima
Pharmaceuticals are subject to change.

Comparison to previous year: Second quarter 2005 compared to
second quarter 2004

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 decreased 4% to
EUR2.5 million compared to EUR2.6 million for the same period in
2004.  Research and development (R&D) expenses increased 46% for
the second quarter of 2005 to EUR14.0 million compared to EUR9.6
million for the same period in 2004.  The increase for the second
quarter 2005 was mainly due to increased drug development
activities, including the continued ramp-up of patient enrollment
in the satraplatin SPARC Phase 3 registrational trial.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the second quarter
of 2005 increased 128% to EUR6.6 million compared to EUR2.9
million for the same quarter in 2004.  The increase in G&A
expenses during the second quarter of 2005 was mainly due to a
non-cash charge of EUR2.8 million related to a contractual loss
on a sublease.  Non-cash charges for stock options and
convertible bonds, which are included in R&D and G&A expenses,
were EUR1.7 million for the second quarter of 2005 compared to
EUR0.6 million for the same period in 2004.  Excluding the
non-cash charge related to the sublease contract of EUR2.8
million, the Company's pro forma net loss was -EUR13.3 million
for the second quarter of 2005, an increase of 42% compared
to -EUR9.3 million net loss for the same period in 2004.
Inclusive of this charge, net loss increased 71% to -EUR16.0
million compared to the second quarter of 2004.  Basic and
diluted loss per share was -EUR0.53 for the second quarter of
2005 compared to
-EUR0.43 for the same period in 2004.

First six months of 2005 compared to first six months of 2004:

Revenues decreased 33% to EUR4.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2005, compared to EUR6.6 million for the same period in
2004.  Research and development (R&D) expenses increased 38% to
EUR25.2 million for the first six months of 2005 compared to
EUR18.3 million for the same period in 2004.  The increase was
mainly due to increased drug development activities, including
the continued ramp-up of patient enrollment in the satraplatin
SPARC Phase 3 registrational trial.

In the first six months of 2005, general and administrative (G&A)
expenses increased 88% to EUR10.5 million compared to EUR5.6
million for the first six months of 2004.  Non-cash charges for
stock options and convertible bonds, which are included in R&D
and G&A expenses, were EUR3.5 million for the first six months of
2005 compared to EUR1.0 million for the same period in 2004.
Excluding the non-cash charge related to the contractual loss on
a sublease of EUR2.8 million, the Company's pro forma net loss
was -EUR25.8 million for the first half of 2005, an increase of
58% compared to -EUR16.3 million net loss for the same period in
2004.  Inclusive of this charge, net loss increased 75%
to -EUR28.5 million compared to the first half of 2004.  Basic
and diluted loss per share was -EUR0.96 compared to -EUR0.76 for
the same period in 2004.

As of June 30, 2005, cash, cash equivalents, short-term
investments and marketable securities totaled EUR121.6 million
(December 31, 2004: EUR131.0 million), including EUR1.5 million
in restricted cash.  The net cash burn was EUR23.6 million for
the first six months of 2005.  Net cash burn is derived by adding
net cash used in operating activities (EUR20.3 million) and
purchases of property, equipment and licenses (EUR3.3 million).
The figures used to calculate net cash burn are contained in the
Company's unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2005.  Net cash burn was EUR11.9
million for the second quarter of 2005 and EUR11.6 million for
the first quarter of 2005.

"Our financial results continue to reflect our expanding efforts
to successfully develop our anticancer drug candidates and
broaden their potential," said Mirko Scherer, Ph.D., Senior Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer.  "In particular, we are
driving patient recruitment in the SPARC Phase 3 trial and
continuing our work to initiate additional exploratory studies
with our lead compound, satraplatin."

"I am excited about the progress we have made over the past
several months to move our oncology drug programs forward," said
Bernd R. Seizinger, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer.  "The
satraplatin SPARC trial continues to be one of the fastest
accruing large randomized Phase 3 trials for chemotherapy drugs
in prostate cancer.  There were 700 patients enrolled in this
study as of July 28, 2005, keeping us on track to complete
enrollment by the end of this year.  I am also pleased that we
were able to open for accrual another satraplatin study - a Phase
1 combination trial with TAXOTERE(R) in advanced solid tumors.
This study is one of a number of clinical trials we are planning
to initiate as part of our strategy to broadly explore the
potential of satraplatin in combination with other anticancer
therapies and for the treatment of other cancers beyond the
initial indication of second-line hormone-refractory prostate
cancer."

Dr. Seizinger continued: "We have also had several recent
achievements with our second clinical program -- the anticancer
antibody 1D09C3: We have recently received clearance from the
national regulatory authorities and local ethics committee to
open a second clinical site in our ongoing Phase 1 study.  The
new site is the Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, a major oncology
center in Italy under the direction of leading oncology expert,
Prof. Alessandro M. Gianni.  In addition, the antibody was
granted orphan drug designation in the European Union for Hodgkin
's lymphoma.  I look forward to reporting on additional
accomplishments at GPC Biotech in the second half of the year."

Highlights from the second quarter of 2005 and beyond:

(a) Lead anticancer drug candidate, satraplatin

     (i) The SPARC registrational trial remains one of the
         fastest accruing, large randomized Phase 3 trials for
         chemotherapy drugs in prostate cancer.  700 patients
         had been accrued to the trial as of July 28, 2005;

    (ii) Phase 1 study in combination with TAXOTERE in advanced
         solid tumors opened for accrual;

   (iii) The Independent Data Monitoring Board for the SPARC
         registrational trial held its second review of safety
         data from the ongoing study.  The Board reported that
         the design and conduct of the trial remained sound and
         recommended that the trial continue as planned; and

    (iv) In vitro data presented at the 2005 Annual Meeting of
         the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR)
         indicate that satraplatin remains active in drug-
         resistant tumor cells pre-treated with other commonly
         used cancer drugs.  Also, a synergistic response was
         demonstrated in prostate cancer cells treated
         sequentially with TAXOTERE and satraplatin; and

(b) Second clinical program, 1D09C3 anticancer monoclonal
    antibody

     (i) Clearance received from the national regulatory
         authorities and local ethics committee to open second
         clinical site in Phase 1 study in relapsed/refractory
         B-cell lymphomas.  The new site is the Istituto
         Nazionale dei Tumori in Milan, Italy under the
         direction of leading clinical oncology expert, Prof.
         Alessandro M. Gianni, Head of the Leukemia and Lymphoma
         Department, Milan Cancer Center, and Full Professor in
         Medical Oncology, University of Milan;

    (ii) European Medicines Agency (EMEA) granted orphan
         medicinal product designation for the treatment of
         Hodgkin's lymphoma; and

   (iii) Pre-clinical in vivo data presented at the 9th
         International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma
         demonstrate that 1D09C3 appears to show improved
         efficacy if treatment intervals are increased up to
         seven days, indicating that the antibody may not need
         to be continuously present in the bloodstream to
         achieve its cell-killing effect.

GPC Biotech AG (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: GPC; TecDAX 30; NASDAQ:
GPCB) is a biopharmaceutical company discovering and developing
new anticancer drugs.  The Company's lead product candidate --
satraplatin -- is currently in a Phase 3 registrational trial as
a second-line chemotherapy treatment in hormone-refractory
prostate cancer following successful completion of a Special
Protocol Assessment by the U.S. FDA and receipt of a Scientific
Advice letter from the European central regulatory authority,
EMEA.  The FDA has also granted fast track designation to
satraplatin for this indication.

Satraplatin was in-licensed from Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Other anticancer programs include: a monoclonal antibody with a
novel mechanism-of-action against a variety of lymphoid tumors,
currently in Phase 1 clinical development, and a small molecule
broad-spectrum cell cycle inhibitors program, currently in
pre-clinical development.  The Company also has a number of drug
discovery programs that leverage its expertise in kinase
inhibitors.  GPC Biotech has a multi-year alliance with ALTANA
Pharma AG working with the ALTANA Research Institute in the U.S.,
which provides GPC Biotech with revenues through mid-2007. GPC
Biotech AG is headquartered in Martinsried/Munich (Germany).

The Company's wholly owned U.S. subsidiary has research and
development sites in Waltham, Massachusetts and Princeton, New
Jersey.  For additional information, please visit
http://www.gpc-biotech.com

The pro forma net loss reported excludes the contractual loss on
a sublease.  GPC Biotech's management believes this pro forma
measure helps indicate underlying trends in the Company's ongoing
operations by excluding this charge that is unrelated to its
ongoing operations.

TAXOTERE(R) (docetaxel) is a registered trademark of the
sanofi-aventis group.

PROSIEBENSAT.1 MEDIA: Finds Springer Offer Unattractive
-------------------------------------------------------
U.S. investment group Hellman & Friedman plans to back Axel
Springer Verlag's bid to merge with ProSiebenSat.1 Media,
Handelsblatt says.

Hellman & Friedman, which owns 19.4% of Springer, is reportedly
willing to put up part of the EUR1.2 billion to buy out the
preference shareholders of ProSiebenSat.1.  Alternatively, these
shareholders are also being offered preference shares in
Springer.  The paper says ProSiebenSat.1's owners see both offers
as unattractive.

According to Handelsblatt, Hellman also plans to participate in a
capital increase following the merger and is thinking of spending
up to EUR300 million for this.

Springer held talks with ProSiebenSat.1's major shareholders on
August 3.  A deal must be concluded before March 2006 to avoid
violating an agreement with the insolvency administrator of
Kirch, ProSiebenSat.1's former owner.

ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG was formed in 2000 following the merger
of Germany's leading broadcasters, ProSieben Media AG and Sat.1.
It is the largest and most successful television corporation with
four stations -- Sat.1, ProSieben, kabel eins and N24.

THYSSENKRUPP AG: Sales Up 12%; Income Reaches EUR529 Million
------------------------------------------------------------
Despite a more difficult market environment, ThyssenKrupp AG
continued to hold up well in the 3rd quarter 2004/2005.

Sales increased by 12%.  The Group's income from continuing
operations before taxes and minority interest reached EUR529
million.  Earnings for the first nine months of the fiscal year
amounted to EUR1,454 million, compared with EUR1,069 million a
year earlier.

Highlights:

(a) order intake from continuing operations increased to EUR10.6
    billion, 7% higher than the same quarter a year earlier.
    Orders in the first nine months of the fiscal year were
    EUR32.1 billion (previous year EUR29.1 billion), 10%
    higher than a year earlier;

(b) sales were up 12% at EUR11.3 billion.  Sales in the first
    nine months climbed 14% from EUR27.6 billion to EUR31.5
    billion;

(c) income from continuing operations before taxes and minority
    interest amounted to EUR529 million.  This figure includes a
    EUR28 million impairment loss in the Automotive segment.
    Twelve months previously the figure stood at EUR537 million.
    In the first nine months EBT increased from EUR1,069 million
    to EUR1,454 million;

(d) earnings per share from continuing operations reached
    EUR0.59, compared with EUR0.61 a year earlier.  For the
    first nine months, earnings per share increased from EUR1.26
    to EUR1.66;

(e) net financial payables amounted to EUR1,649 million at June
    30, 2005, EUR1,184 million less than at September 30, 2004
    and EUR2,613 million less than at June 30, 2004.

Executive Board Chairman Prof. Dr. Ekkehard Schulz said: "We
expect the encouraging business performance to continue on the
whole in the further course of the year.  For the full year we
plan sales of just over EUR41 billion.  In terms of earnings
before taxes, excluding the effects of major disposals,
acquisitions and restructuring measures, we aim to achieve around
EUR1,700 million, surpassing the very good level of 2003/2004
(EUR1,470 million)."

As part of the now almost completed 'Divest 33+' program,
ThyssenKrupp has sold the MetalCutting business of ThyssenKrupp
Technologies to an American buyer.

With just under 2,800 employees, MetalCutting generated sales of
around EUR490 million in fiscal year 2003/2004.  The disposal is
subject to the approval of the competent bodies.

WCM GROUP: Consolidated Net Profit Returns to Black in H1
---------------------------------------------------------
In the first half of 2005, WCM Beteiligungs- und
Grundbesitz-Aktiengesellschaft (ISIN: DE0007801003) generated an
EBIT of EUR20.3 million (PY: EUR6 million).  Year-on-year EBT,
improved from -EUR6 million to EUR9.4 million.

At EUR1.4 million, consolidated net profit for the period was
considerably up year on year (PY: -EUR9.5 million).  At EUR452,
sales in the reporting year were at the level of the previous
year.

The Group stabilized the financial side.  In the current
financial year, liabilities to banks were reduced by a further
EUR90 million.

On the reporting date of 30 June 2005, the Group employed a total
of 6,345 people, almost unchanged on the previous year.

On its markets, WCM does not see any fundamental turnaround for
the remainder of 2005.  In addition to the operating results
generated from the industrial units, the WCM result will be
materially influenced by the disposal proceeds achieved for the
assets currently available for sale.  In view of the more
cautious expectations on results, a loss which does not exceed
EUR10 million, instead of the targeted break-even result before
taxes, cannot be excluded for the whole of 2005.

The WCM Group is continuing its move to a pure-play industrial
group, with a concentration on Klockner-Werke AG.

The complete interim report is available as a pdf file on our web
side http://www.wcm.deunder Investors and Publications.

About the Company

In the past, WCM operated in the area of buying and selling
listing and undervalued companies and in privatizing property
portfolios.  As is sufficiently well known, last year the company
realigned its business strategy to the changed conditions and
situation on the market.  In December 2004, the Residential
Property division was sold to Blackstone, a financial investor.
In the future, WCM AG will be a pure-play holding company,
primarily holding its stake in Klockner-Werke AG.

The core of Klockner-Werke AG is the Packaging and Filling
division, represented by the KHS Group.  In certain markets, the
KHS Group is already a world leader for planning, constructing
and installing filling and packaging systems for the beverages
and non-beverages industry.  The Group is also made up of
mechanical engineering companies which build special machines for
confectionery, hard rubber parts, injection moulding and shoe
machines as well as robotic systems for plastic machines.  A
further area of the WCM Group is various financial holdings which
are available for sale in the short-to medium term.

MAGYAR TELECOM: Moody's Ups Corporate Family Rating to B1
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded on August 12, 2005 the
corporate family rating of Magyar Telecom B.V. (Matel) to B1 from
B2 and the rating on Matel's EUR140 million senior notes due 2012
to B3 from Caa1.

Moody's has also withdrawn Matel's Caa2 senior unsecured issuer
rating, as part of the rating agency's ongoing project of
withdrawing such ratings for speculative-grade corporate issuers.
Concurrently, Moody's has upgraded the rating on the EUR165
million senior secured bank facility (EUR143 million outstanding)
of Matel's operating subsidiary Invitel Tavkozlesi Szolgaltato
Rt. (Invitel or the company) to Ba3 from B1.  The outlook on all
ratings is stable.

The upgrades reflect:

(a) The management team's established track record of
    successfully reducing costs and increasing EBITDA margins
    which peaked at 46.5% in Q1 2005 from 39.3% in 2003;

(b) The robust growth in subscriber numbers and revenue recorded
    by the company's Mass Market Internet segment, which helped
    to offset a decline in revenues from the Mass Market Voice
    segment in Invitel's concession areas;

(c) The company's ability to generate positive free cash flow, a
    reversal of the negative cash flow generation in 2003; and

(d) Invitel's modest de-leveraging through partial pre-payments
    of its senior secured facility and the shareholder loan,
    which resulted in the ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA
    (excluding shareholder loans) falling from 3.6x at the end
    of 2004 to 3.4x at the end of Q2 2005 on a last twelve month
    basis.

However, the ratings continue to reflect:

(a) The continued deterioration in Invitel's revenue from the
    Mass Market Voice segment in the concession areas, largely
    due to the fixed-to-mobile substitution effect;

(b) Vigorous competition, particularly with Matav and Tele2,
    which has recently entered Invitel's concession area; and

(c) Risks associated with future customer uptake and retention
    for its Mass Market Internet segment, which is expected to
    become an increasingly meaningful contributor to Invitel's
    revenue over the medium term.

Moody's notes that Invitel's Q2 financial results show
deterioration in its EBITDA margin to 40.3% from 46.5% in Q1
2005.  This is largely due to increased competitive pressures and
a change in the company's product mix with the lower margin
wholesale business having contributed a more meaningful amount to
the company's revenue.  Moody's however does not expect any
further material deterioration in the company's performance and
takes into account the company's focus on cost efficiency
initiatives.

The stable outlook on the ratings reflects Moody's expectation
that the company will continue to:

(a) Control its costs to support its improved EBITDA generation;

(b) Generate sufficient cash flow to service its bank debt
    amortization requirements; and

(c) Successfully grow its Mass Market Internet business.  The
    rating agency notes that further de-leveraging will continue
    to hinge on the company's pre-payments of its senior secured
    bank facility and shareholder loan subject to the terms and
    conditions of the senior secured bank facility and senior
    notes.

Further upward movement from the B1 rating is currently
constrained by the company's size and competitive dynamics on the
Hungarian market.  Conversely, a material deterioration in
revenue and EBITDA levels caused by competitive pressures on the
market would put a downward pressure on the rating.

The B3 rating on the notes continues to reflect contractual and
structural subordination of the notes to the material amount of
the senior secured bank facility.

Headquartered in Budaors, Hungary, Invitel is the second largest
fixed-line telecommunications provider in Hungary.  For the six
months ending June 30, 2005, the company reported revenues and
EBITDA of approximately EUR92.3 million and EUR40.2 million,
respectively.

PARMA AC: Sells Parma Football Club to Inversiones Renfisa
----------------------------------------------------------
Parmalat Finanziaria has agreed to sell Parma Football Club to
Spanish group Inversiones Renfisa SL, AFX News says.

In a statement, subsidiary Parma AC S.p.A. said it had already
received part of the payment for its 100% stake in the club.  The
company promised to reveal more details, including the purchase
price, on September 20.  Former Real Madrid President Lorenzo
Sanz Mancebo heads Inversiones Renfisa.

Like all other subsidiaries, the club also encountered rough seas
when the holding company filed for bankruptcy in December 2003.
Declared insolvent in April 2004, the club was forced to sell
star player Alberto Gilardino to AC Milan for EUR34 million early
this summer.

Set up in 1913, the club won the Coppa Italia (National Cup) in
1991-92, 1998-99 and 2001-02; SuperCoppa Italiana (National
Supercup) in 1999; Winners' Cup in 1992-93; and the UEFA Cup in
1994-95 and 1998-99.

PARMALAT FINANZIARIA: Ex-BofA Exec Squeals
------------------------------------------
Local prosecutors have reportedly unearthed new information on
the US$37.5 million that vanished from Parmalat's accounts, Il
Sole 24 Ore says.

Former Bank of America (BofA) executive Luca Sala has reportedly
revealed the recipients of the amount, which was allegedly
deposited in various foreign bank accounts.  Police arrested Mr.
Sala a few weeks ago on allegations that he tried to hide the
losses of Parmalat's Brazilian unit and gained thousands of
dollars for it.  Parma prosecutor Antonella Ioffredi on Saturday
met with Swiss counterpart Pierluigi Pasi in Lugano to confirm
Mr. Sala's claim that he had deposited the amount in Switzerland.

Mr. Sala is also being accused of defrauding institutional
investors, mostly from the U.S., by hiding Parmalat's true
financial state when he organized private bond placements.

THIEL LOGISTIK: Unit's Troubles to Weigh down Full-year Results
---------------------------------------------------------------
Thiel Logistik posted a solid performance in the first half year
2005, with significantly increased organic sales and a clearly
positive cash flow again in the second quarter.  The previous
full-year forecast has been lowered due to the impact of costs
from some individual business units.

Sales, Earnings and Cash Flow

Sales of Thiel Logistik AG rose by 4.2% year-on-year to EUR883.5
million (first half year 2004: EUR848.1 million), with organic
growth of 5.1% achieved.  In the second quarter organic sales
growth reached as high as 7.5%.  Expansion in Central and Eastern
Europe along with the expansion of the business in Asia played a
major part in this growth.

At EUR10.3 million, the result before interest and income taxes
(EBIT) was lower than the previous year's EUR13.1 million.  The
main reason for this was a substantial drop in earnings in the
Thiel Furniture business unit.  For the first six months of 2005
the Group posted a negative net result after minorities of
-EUR8.2 million (first half year 2004: - EUR0.5 million).  In
total, a positive operating cash flow of EUR5.3 million (first
half year 2004: EUR25.3 million) was generated in the reporting
period.  After an EUR8.5 million impact on the cash flow in the
first quarter due to a one-off payment as settlement for pension
provisions, cash flow improved in the second quarter by EUR10.8
million.  The free cash flow came to EUR2.4 million (first half
year 2004: EUR18.5 million).

Forecast for the Year Lowered

Against the background of the burdens from the Thiel Furniture
business unit and the continuing weak earnings position at Thiel
Automotive, the previous forecast for the year of a EUR36 million
EBIT is not achievable.  This figure has been revised as a
result.  For fiscal year 2005 Thiel Logistik is now expecting an
EBIT in the range of EUR25 to EUR30 million before impairments of
long-lived assets and goodwill and before restructuring expenses.

Positive result at three Industry Solutions -- substantial
decline at Thiel Furniture

In the Industry Solutions business segment the Group generated
sales of EUR296.5 million in the first half year, thus coming in
at last year's levels (first half year 2004: EUR301 million).  At
EUR0.5 million, the result remained significantly behind the
previous year's level of EUR2.0 million.  Weak results at Thiel
furniture were primarily responsible for this.  By contrast,
despite cyclical impacts and tough economic conditions Thiel
FashionLifestyle succeeded in maintaining sales and gaining more
profit from them.  Thiel Media managed to even increase its
year-on-year sales significantly.  In the second quarter Thiel
Automotive stabilized sales and earnings following a difficult
first quarter.

Substantial increase at Air & Ocean

The Air & Ocean business segment under the lead company Birkart
Globistics put in a very positive performance, with sales of
EUR159.5 million -- an increase of around 12% over comparable
sales of EUR142.1 million generated the previous year.  At EUR4.3
million the result practically doubled (first half year EUR2004:
2.3 euros).  Dynamic growth in traffic between Europe and Asia
was chiefly responsible for this.

Solid Growth in Regional Logistics Services

The Regional Logistics Service Providers increased sales by 5.7%,
from EUR404.3 million to EUR427.5 million.  The decline in the
result from EUR14.1 million in the first half of
2004 to the present EUR11.2 million was primarily due to the sale
of Suedkraft's public transport businesses last year.  Both
Quehenberger and delacher continued to grow, recording sales
increases of 14.1% and 4.3% respectively over the year before.
This was due mainly to business expansion in Central and Eastern
Europe.  Following an even tougher first quarter, Suedkraft
significantly improved sales and earnings in the second quarter.

Management Structure

Unlike a German Supervisory Board, the Board of Directors of a
joint stock company governed by the law of Luxembourg is the
management body of the company.  As Chairman of the Board of
Directors of Thiel Logistik AG, Berndt-Michael Winter has assumed
responsibility -- until the appointment of a new CEO -- for
steering the work of the Executive Board following the
resignation of Dr. Eierhoff as of June 30, 2005.  Dr. Antonius
Wagner, a member of the Board of Directors, is performing the
duties of CFO -- until a new CFO joins the company -- following
the resignation of Mr. Loffler.  The Board of Directors has
extended the appointment of Stefan Delacher as a member of the
Executive Board of Thiel Logistik AG until September 2010.  At
the moment he is responsible on the Executive Board for all the
Thiel Group's logistics operations.

Outlook

As last year, the Thiel Group expects the operating result for
the second half of the year to again increase compared to the
first half of the year.  In view of the lack of capacity
utilization at the Heppenheim warehouse, numerous sales
activities have been initiated aimed at regaining capacity
utilization.  The management is confident this will result in a
positive conclusion.  If, contrary to expectations, utilization
cannot be achieved within the next few months, or if the terms
are unfavorable, then a substantial impairment to the book value
of EUR24.7 million will be advisable, the exact extent of which
will depend on the usage situation at the particular time.

There may be a need to adjust the value of goodwill in the Thiel
Automotive unit due to the loss of several major orders.  In this
regard, the premature termination of a logistics services
contract with FAG Kugelfischer with several more years to run has
been contested.  The company is aiming to achieve a final
assessment of the goodwill in the Thiel Automotive unit by the
September 30, 2005, reporting date.

Thiel expects a unified market approach of Thiel Automotive and
Suedkraft to provide significant momentum for future growth.  The
two business units were placed under a single management at the
end of July, with the aim of pooling the automotive and contract
logistics expertise, leveraging synergies and offering customers
an even broader product portfolio.

price of EUR26.89 per share.  This came as Shell unveiled a
buyback program after a damaging reserves overestimation scandal
last year.

Royal Dutch Shell plc is incorporated in England and Wales, has
its headquarters in The Hague and is listed on the London,
Amsterdam, and New York stock exchanges.  Shell companies have
operations in more than 145 countries with businesses including
oil and gas exploration and production; production and marketing
of Liquefied Natural Gas and Gas to Liquids; manufacturing,
marketing and shipping of oil products and chemicals and
renewable energy projects including wind and solar power.

Some investors blamed the complicated system for the
overestimation of proved energy reserves by the company between
January 2004 and February this year.  The crisis resulted to the
ouster of three top executives, including former chairman Philip
Watts.

Shell had admitted it overstated its proved reserves by almost
6.0 billion barrels.  It was finned EUR150 million in total after
investigations launched by U.S. and British regulators.  Shell
has said it had revised the method by which it calculates
reserves to comply with U.S. regulations.  Shell's proved
reserves stood at 10.2 billion barrels at the end of
2004.

POLISH OIL: Unions Want Firm to Cut Supply to 16 Debtors
--------------------------------------------------------
Labor unions want Polish Oil and Gas Company (PGNiG) to stop
supplying gas to 16 debtors, said Interfax.

This came after the debtors reportedly posted the oldest arrears
against PGNiG.  The union's appeal is also seen as a move to
force the State Treasury to carry out PGNiG's long-delayed
initial public offering.  A decision on PGNiG's IPO is expected
Wednesday.

Earlier, a consortium of banks awarded PGNiG a EUR900-million
loan deal to restructure its debt and fund investments.  PGNiG
CEO Marek Kossowski said the loan involves a 5-
year EUR600-million tranche and a 3-year EUR300-million tranche,
which will be used to pay an old loan due December, and
refinance other debt, respectively.

The company is expected to bring in about PLN1.5 billion of
extra funding through an initial public offering, which was
originally set for early July 2005.  The IPO is now being
considered for September.  A further delay could mean an 85%
reduction in the company's planned PLN2-billion investment this
year.

Mr. Kossowski said: "In order to carry out these investments we
need funds from the IPO, otherwise we will have to revise these
plans in all the areas we wanted to develop."

PGNiG is a stock company owned by the State Treasury.  With an
initial capital of PLN5 billion, it operates in the whole
country and outside Poland through a network of specialized
divisions and companies.

POZMEAT: Administrator Sues BRE Bank to Recover PLN100 Million
--------------------------------------------------------------
The administrator of ZM Pozmeat has filed a case against BRE Bank
S.A. to recover PLN100 million, Interfax News Agency says.

The administrator claims BRE siphoned the money off the bankrupt
meat producer.  In a motion filed with the court that Interfax
did not identify, the administrator sought the annulment of a
real estate sale agreement signed in 2001.

Analysts expect BRE's share price to fall sharply should the
court favors Pozmeat.  It will also negatively affect its
financial results.

Pozmeat fell into liquidation in September 2004 after years of
mudslinging between individual and corporate shareholders, which
have traded accusations of over-investing, excessive debt, and
obstruction of plans to improve the situation.

EVRAZ GROUP: Buys 75% of Palini e Bertoli
-----------------------------------------
Evraz Group S.A. has acquired 75% plus 1 share of Palini e
Bertoli S.p.A.

The acquisition will allow Evraz Group S.A. to build on Palini's
strengths as a producer of customized, high-quality plate
products to penetrate new geographic markets, secure captive
customer base for its slabs outside Russia and further improve
the margin from the sale outside Russia of higher value-added
steel products.

The remaining 25% less 1 share would be held by certain of
Palini's former owners (Annia S.r.l.), including members of its
senior management, and would be subject to a call option, pre
emptive rights and lock-up arrangements in favor of Evraz as well
as a put option in favor of the current shareholders.

The acquisition was financed by a combination of debt and equity.
MPS Venture SGR, a private equity arm of Monte dei Paschi Group,
was one of the selling shareholders in the transaction.  Morgan
Stanley & Co. Limited acted as financial advisor and Pavia e
Ansaldo acted as a legal advisor to Evraz on this transaction.
Debt finance was provided by ABN AMRO N.V. Annia S.r.L. was
supported by Studio Legale Montanari e Associati.

Alexander Abramov, Evraz Group Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, said: "The acquisition of Palini & Bertoli is in line
with our strategy of capturing additional margin through focused
acquisitions of high-quality re-rolling facilities worldwide.

"This transaction, along with a recent winning bid for Vitkovice
Steel, establishes us as a player in the high value-added
European steel plate market.  We are pleased that Palini's
management team, headed by its EO Giampiero Gori, will be joining
Evraz Group and believe they will be an integral part of our
effort in creating value for our shareholders."

About Palini & Bertoli

Palini & Bertoli is a rolling mill in Northern Italy that
produces steel plate for the construction, shipbuilding and
automotive industries.  Palini's total output in 2004 was 356,000
tonnes of rolled products and it generated revenue of
EUR183 million and earnings before interest, tax and depreciation
and amortization of approximately EUR31 million under Italian
GAAP.

About Evraz

Evraz Group is one of the largest vertically integrated steel and
mining businesses with operations mainly in the Russia.  In 2004,
Evraz produced 13.7 million tonnes of crude steel.

Evraz Group is a listed company on the London Stock Exchange. The
company listed its global depositary receipts (GDRs) on the LSE
on June 2, this year, after raising US$422 million from new
investors.

Evraz's principal assets include three of the leading steel
plants in Russia: Nizhny Tagil (NTMK) in the Urals region, and
West Siberian (Zapsib) and Novokuznetsk (NKMK) in Siberia.

Evraz Group's fast-growing mining businesses comprise the
Kachkanarsky (KGOK), Evrazruda (acquired in March 2005) and
Vysokogorsky (VGOK) iron ore mining complexes and NeryungriUgol
Coal Company and an equity interest in the Raspadskaya coal mine.
The mining assets primarily supply Evraz Group's steelmaking
operations, enabling the company to be a vertically integrated
steel producer, limiting its exposure to fluctuations in the
prices of key raw materials.

Evraz obtained over 70% of its iron ore requirements from KGOK,
Evraz Ruda and VGOK in 2004 and also obtains the majority of its
coking coal from Raspadskaya and other affiliated producers.

Evraz also owns and operates the Nakhodka commercial sea port, in
the Far East of Russia, which facilitates access to Asian export
markets.

                            *   *   *

In July, Standard & Poor's Rating Services assigned its 'B+'
long-term corporate credit rating to Evraz Group S.A. and its
core subsidiary Mastercroft Ltd.

Standard & Poor's credit analyst Elena Anankina said: "The
ratings on Evraz and Mastercroft reflect the companies' complex
organizational and ownership structure with, historically,
significant related party transactions, and a short track record
as a single group.

"Standard & Poor's expects that the group will capitalize on its
core advantage, upstream vertical integration, and demonstrate a
track record of sustainable actual (not only pro forma)
profitability and cash flow generation."

These factors could lead to an upgrade (likely one notch) in the
coming one to two years, if the group demonstrates the ability
to reduce debt and if any acquisitions would enhance the group's
business profile (for example, if the recent Vitkovice Steel AS
integration proceeds favorably).

NEW WORLD-PACIFIC: Deadline for Proofs of Claim Today

OAO GAZPROM: Fitch Upgrades Ratings to 'BB+'
--------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded OAO Gazprom's Senior Unsecured foreign
currency and local currency ratings to 'BB+' from 'BB' and
removed them from Rating Watch Positive.  A Stable Outlook has
been assigned.

At the same time, Fitch has upgraded Gazprom's US$5.0 billion
program for the issuance of loan participation notes of Gaz
Capital S.A., as well as the US$646.5 million loan participation
note issued by Gazstream S.A., to 'BB+' from 'BB'.  Both the
program and the US$646.5 million Gazstream note rely on a senior
unsecured liability of Gazprom for repayment.

The rating upgrade and rating watch resolution follow the
completion of the government's acquisition of an additional
10.74% of the company's shares, bringing the total ownership
stake to slightly more than 50%.  While Fitch incorporates a
degree of state support into the rating, other factors such as
the company's stand alone credit profile had more influence in
the rating decision.

This has subsequently led to a widening of the historical rating
differential between the Russian Federation ('BBB'/Stable/'F3')
and Gazprom from one notch to two notches, although the company's
credit profile continues to be stable.  Further upgrades to
Gazprom's credit ratings depend on the company's ability to
demonstrate improvement in areas such as domestic pricing power
and operating cost containment, which would improve cash flow
generation.

Other factors affecting Gazprom's ratings include additional
expected strong earnings growth balanced against growing capital
expenditures.  Fitch is concerned with the company's inability to
demonstrate improved operating cash flow generation.  Rising cash
capital expenditures, which are now outstripping operating cash
flow, are a concern as operating cash flow growth has not
materialized to the degree expected in the current hydrocarbon
price environment.

Gazprom's business requires significant ongoing capital
expenditures to maintain production and transportation systems.
As a result, the company has increased borrowings by
approximately US$3.5 billion in 2004.  While this fact on its own
is not viewed negatively by Fitch, further rating upgrades would
depend on a return to cash capital expenditures being financed
with operating cash flows.

The Stable Outlook foresees continued steady natural gas
production in a favorable price environment combined with an
eventual recovery in the company's currently weak cost position.
The recent increase in state-ownership also lends support to the
rating by further aligning the interests of the government with
the interests of the company.  Reducing overall borrowings with
capital injected from this transaction would be viewed favorably
by Fitch.

OAO LUKOIL: Imports to Compensate for Odesa Closure
---------------------------------------------------
OAO LUKOIL will make up for the temporary closure of the Odesa
oil refinery by processing crude at CJSC Ukrtatnafta's Kremenchuk
site, said Interfax.

Russia's largest integrated oil company will also import fuel
from Ukraine.  The Odesa plant will reportedly be closed for
repairs for one or two months.

First Vice Prime Minister Anatoliy Kinakh said Wednesday LUKOIL
aims to process around 200,000 tonnes of oil per month at the
Ukrtatnafta's plant.

He added that a protocol is being considered between the company
and the Fuel and Energy Ministry.  The action will outline
LUKOIL's responsibilities regarding oil supply to the Ukrainian
market while the Odesa site is closed.

LUKOIL is into oil & gas exploration and production, and
production and sale of petroleum products, with projects covering
Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Egypt, North Africa and Columbia.

It is the second largest private oil company worldwide by proven
reserves, holding around 1.5% of global oil reserves and 2.1% of
global oil production.

In Russia, the company owns four large refineries at Perm,
Volgograd, Ukhta and Nizhny Novgorod.  By the end of 2003
LUKOIL's sales network covered 17 countries of the world,
including Russia, the CIS (Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova,
Ukraine), Europe (Bulgaria, Hungary, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania,
Poland, Serbia, Romania, Czech Republic, Estonia) and the U.S.A.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services recently revised its outlook
to positive from stable on LUKOIL, following a review of the
company's 2004 operating and financial performance.

Credit analyst Karl Nietvelt said: "The positive outlook . . . is
supported by strongly improved financial and operating
performance in 2004."

The rating is also said to be influenced by LUKOIL's vast crude
oil reserves, massive production, and vertical integration into
refining (including outside Russia).

However, analysts are concerned of the general risks surrounding
the Russian oil industry, particularly the heavy and often
changing tax burden placed on companies.

YUKOS OIL: Judge Clark Approves Societe Generale Agreement
----------------------------------------------------------
Yukos Oil Company previously asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of Texas, upon the entry of orders allowing
the Fee Applications, to:

    (a) allow the disbursement of the Allowed Amounts from the
        Court Registry to Fulbright and Alvarez; and

    (b) return any remaining Registry Funds after the
        disbursements to Yukos USA.

Zack A. Clement, Esq., at Fulbright & Jaworski, L.L.P., in
Houston, Texas, relates that Yukos USA, Inc., deposited $21
million into the Court Registry for the benefit of Yukos Oil
Company.  Interest accrues on the balance of the Registry Funds,
and certain expenses of Yukos' expert witnesses have been paid
out of the Registry Funds pursuant to a Court Order.  As of July
6, 2005, there is $20,790,230 in the Registry Funds.

                    Societe Generale, et al. Object

"The funds in the [Court] Registry that will remain after payment
of Court-allowed Aggregate Fees and Costs should remain in the
Registry and under no circumstances be paid to Yukos USA,
[Inc.]," Societe Generale, S.A., individually and on behalf of 13
other creditors, asserts.

The 13 other creditors are:

   (1) BNP Paribas S.A.,
   (2) Citibank N.A.,
   (3) Commerzbank Aktiencesellschaft,
   (4) Calyon S.A.,
   (5) Deutsche Bank A.G.,
   (6) Ing Bank, N.V.,
   (7) KBC Bank N.V.,
   (8) UFJ Bank Nederland N.V.,
   (9) Hillside Apex Fund Limited,
  (10) Thames River Traditional Funds PLC (High Income Fund),
  (11) VR Global Partners LP,
  (12) Shepherd Investments International Limited, and
  (13) Stark Trading.

Societe Generale serves as Coordinating Bank, Facility Agent and
Security Agent under a $1,000,000,000 Loan Agreement dated
September 24, 2003, between certain lenders and Yukos, as
borrower.

Joseph G. Epstein, Esq., at Winstead, Sechrest & Minick, PC, in
Houston, Texas, relates that Yukos defaulted under the Loan
Agreement.

After the automatic stay in Yukos' bankruptcy case was
terminated, Societe Generale commenced an action against Yukos in
England to collect the obligations owing under the Loan
Agreement.

Mr. Epstein tells the Court that Societe Generale obtained two
related foreign country money judgments in June 2005 against
Yukos:

   (i) On June 17, 2005, the High Court of Justice, Chancery
       Division, in England entered a judgment against Yukos and
       in Societe Generale's favor totaling $472,787,663, plus
       $5,060,770 interest as of April 29, 2005.

  (ii) On June 24, 2005, the High Court entered a second
       judgment against Yukos and in Societe Generale's favor
       totaling $4,398,373, as additional interest for the
       period from April 29 to June 17, 2005.

The English Judgments awarded Societe Generale more than
$480,000,000.  Mr. Epstein maintains that the English Judgments
are final, conclusive and enforceable and the time for filing an
appeal with regard to both English Judgments has lapsed.

On July 25, 2005, Societe Generale filed in the 165th Judicial
District Court of Harris County, Texas:

   (i) an original petition to enforce foreign country money
       judgment;

  (ii) application for temporary restraining order and
       preliminary and permanent injunctions;

(iii) application for turn-over order against Yukos and Yukos
       USA; and

  (iv) application for pre-judgment writs of garnishment against
       garnishees Amegy Bank, formerly known as Southwest Bank
       of Texas and Yukos USA.

The Texas State Court conducted a hearing on July 25, 2005, on
Societe Generale's TRO application.  After a fully contested
hearing, the Texas State Court issued a TRO in Societe Generale's
favor, which restrains Yukos and Yukos USA from taking any action
to obtain the funds from the Court Registry or any action to
transfer the right to obtain the funds in the Court Registry
pending further orders and proceedings.

Mr. Epstein contends the TRO and the requested preliminary
injunction will essentially maintain the status quo until the
time as hearings may be held as to the English Judgments and
Societe Generale's right to enforce the English Judgments through
judgment remedies under the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, the
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code and other applicable law.
Societe General has posted a $850,000 bond in connection with the
TRO.

Accordingly, Societe Generale asks the Court to deny Yukos'
request and maintain the status quo pending a resolution of the
TRO and the matters in the Enforcement Proceedings.

In a February 24, 2005 Order, the Bankruptcy Court retained
jurisdiction of Yukos' bankruptcy case for the purposes of
considering fee applications and determining disposition of the
funds paid into the Court Registry.

Mr. Epstein assures the Bankruptcy Court that the actions taken
in the Enforcement Proceedings do not attempt to interfere with
the Bankruptcy Court's jurisdiction over the funds or the
Bankruptcy Court's prior determination that the funds belong to
Yukos and not Yukos USA.

Mr. Epstein further clarifies that Societe Generale does not
object to the payment of the Aggregate Fees and Costs provided
that the amounts do not exceed $3,410,468, and payment of the
fees was specifically excluded from the TRO.

On July 26, 2005, Yukos and Yukos USA filed a Notice of Removal
of the Texas Enforcement Action with the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division.  The
Texas Enforcement Action has been transferred to Judge Ewing
Werlein, Jr.

                          Yukos Responds

Zack A. Clement, Esq. at Fulbright & Jaworski, LLP, in Houston,
Texas, tells Judge Clark that Yukos respects the Court's
jurisdiction for purposes of considering fee applications and
intends to resolve issues relating to the disposition of its
funds in the Court Registry.

Mr. Clement notes that Yukos has hired separate litigation
counsel to respond to Societe Generale's lawsuit that seeks
domestication of its English court orders, restraining orders and
garnishment.

Yukos' litigation counsel decided to remove the Lawsuit to
federal court because it bears on the February 2005 Court Order,
providing that the "[Bankruptcy] Court will retain jurisdiction
for the purposes of considering fee applications and determining
disposition of funds paid into the Court's Registry."

Yukos has also entered into negotiations with Societe Generale
concerning the terms of payment of the Remaining Funds, Mr.
Clement tells the Court.

Mr. Clement relates that on August 3, 2005, Yukos and Societe
Generale reached an agreement, where Yukos promises to consent
to:

   (a) immediately pay Societe Generale $17.5 million of its
       funds that will be remaining in the Court Registry, after
       payment of the requested administrative expenses; and

   (b) the entry of a Bankruptcy Court order:

          -- releasing the Remaining Funds from the Court
             Registry; and

          -- ruling that the Remaining Funds be paid immediately
             to Societe Generale.

The Court has allowed fees and expenses aggregating $3,410,468 to
Fulbright & Jaworski, L.L.P., and Alvarez and Marsal, and ordered
that the fees be paid out of Yukos' funds in the Court Registry.

                         Court Decision

At Yukos' behest, Judge Clark approves Yukos' agreement with
Societe Generale.

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Yukos Oil Company is an open
joint stock company existing under the laws of the Russian
Federation.  Yukos is involved in the energy industry
substantially through its ownership of its various subsidiaries,
which own or are otherwise entitled to enjoy certain rights to
oil and gas production, refining and marketing assets.  The
Company filed for chapter 11 protection on Dec. 14, 2004 (Bankr.
S.D. Tex. Case No. 04-47742).  Zack A. Clement, Esq., C. Mark
Baker, Esq., Evelyn H. Biery, Esq., John A. Barrett, Esq.,
Johnathan C. Bolton, Esq., R. Andrew Black, Esq., Fulbright &
Jaworski, LLP, represent the Debtor in its restructuring efforts.
When the Debtor filed for protection from its creditors, it
listed $12,276,000,000 in total assets and $30,790,000,000 in
total debt.  On Feb. 24, 2005, Judge Letitia Z. Clark dismissed
the Chapter 11 case.  (Yukos Bankruptcy News, Issue No. 24;

AVIONICS: Airport Service Provider Files for Administration
-----------------------------------------------------------
The directors of Surrey-based airport specialist Avionics has
called in administrators from Menzies Corporate Restructuring,
reports say.

The decision came after talks with banks regarding additional
funding to finish current and new contracts failed.  It started
emergency talks with banks last month after the suspension of its
shares on failure to find backing for current and new contracts.
The company said in May four of its major contracts had suffered
delays due to factors outside its control.

The firm's recent runway work includes London Manston airport in
Kent, the Abu Dhabi second runway project and Bristol
International Airport runway upgrade.  Its biggest ever contracts
was the GBP1.1 million installation and commissioning of the air
traffic tower at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, which became
operational in January 2002.

The administrators are currently trying to sell the company as a
going concern.

CABLE & WIRELESS: Confirms Takeover Plans for Energis
-----------------------------------------------------
Cable and Wireless plc has noted the current speculation relating
to an imminent transaction with Energis plc.

As announced at its Annual General Meeting on 22 July 2005, Cable
& Wireless has approached the stakeholders of Energis, and has
made a proposal to acquire Energis.

Cable & Wireless' proposal has been recommended unanimously by
the board of Energis to Energis' stakeholders.

The acquisition proposal will not be increased in value under any
circumstances and will fall away if 75% by value of the holders
of Energis' debt have not signed the acceptance by 5:00 p.m.
Monday, 15 August 2005.  If 75% so accept by that date, then the
proposal will become a binding legal contract.

                            *   *   *

Cable & Wireless is one of the world's leading international
communications companies.  It provides voice, data and IP
(Internet Protocol) services to business and residential
customers, as well as services to other telecoms carriers,
mobile operators and providers of content, applications and
Internet services.

Cable & Wireless' principal operations are in the United
Kingdom, continental Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, Panama and the
Middle East.

In June, the group reported profit before tax and exceptional
items of GBP377 million, up 36 % against prior year, while
operating profit from continuing operations, before exceptional
items reached GBP277 million, up 20% against prior year.

Chairman Richard Lapthorne said: "The 2004/2005 financial
performance demonstrates our progress.  The past 12 months have
been a time of transition, as Cable & Wireless entered a new
phase in the three-year program to revive
the Company.  By the end of the year, the Chief Executive and his
new team were no longer preoccupied with the issues of the

COSTAIN GROUP: Wins Major Environmental Project
-----------------------------------------------
Costain Group plc has been awarded by ConocoPhillips an
engineering design, procurement and construction contract for a
VOC Recovery Project at the North Sea Petroleum Terminal, Seal
Sands, Middlesbrough, United Kingdom.

The total project investment value is in excess of GBP36 million
(US$65 million).  This follows successful completion of the FEED
development for the project by Costain.

The aim of the project is to provide an effective solution for
the abatement of volatile vapour (VOC) emitted from oil tankers
during crude oil loading operations.  When complete in the latter
half of 2007, the project will result in a significant decrease
in emissions from all crude oil tankers calling at the terminal.

This is a major project for Terminal Operator ConocoPhillips,
with safety, health and environmental issues as key drivers.  The
project is fully aligned with ConocoPhillips' policy on
commitment to sustainable development, and the long-term goals of
the Teesside Terminal to reduce hydrocarbon emissions.

Costain Oil, Gas and Process Ltd has been selected as the
principal contractor, and will partner with ConocoPhillips in
pursuing its goal of aligning key stakeholders by ensuring
commitment and understanding of the expectations and objectives
of the project.  An integrated project team drawn from both the
ConocoPhillips and Costain organizations has been established to
manage the project, based at both the Teesside Terminal and
Costain's project office in Manchester.

Charles Sweeney, Managing Director, Costain Oil, Gas & Process,
said: "We are delighted to continue our working relationship with
ConocoPhillips on the EPC phase of this project, following the
successful completion of the FEED package earlier this year."

                            *   *   *

Costain collapsed under heavy debt in the mid 1990s after
venturing into U.S. mining.  It is still trying to recover, with
its first dividend in years expected this year or next.  Its
core U.K. business reported a GBP10.5 million profit last year
after plunging into a EUR5 million loss in 2000.

The company has moved into asset management of water utilities
from civil engineering.  In May, the special resolution
approving the reduction of share capital and cancellation of
share premium account in the Company was approved by the
Companies Court and was registered at Companies House.

ENERGIS PLC: THUS Group Outbids Cable & Wireless
------------------------------------------------
THUS Group plc has reportedly offered GBP800 million for rival
Energis plc.  This poses a threat to Cable & Wireless' earlier
agreed takeover of the highly indebted firm.

According to Reuters, THUS intends to pay GBP600 million in cash,
while the rest will come in shares.  The news came as C&W
disclosed that its proposal has been recommended unanimously by
the board of Energis to stakeholders.  The offer is said to be
worth around GBP710 million.

In July, THUS said since the start of the current financial year,
it has continued to grow across all three of its key divisions of
Managed solutions, Data and telecoms and Internet services.
Turnover from carrier pre-select has been relatively stable
following the fall in turnover from this service in the second
half of last financial year.

However, the financial effects of new services growth on profit
margins have been weakened by the current shift of customers from
traditional, high margin dial-up Internet access services to
broadband, and the new terms of last year's major contract
renewals.

William Allan, Chief Executive, said: "THUS has one of the
U.K.'s most advanced core networks and continues to respond
vigorously to the challenging competitive dynamics in the U.K.
telecommunication market with a focus on converged services.

"Converged services deliver cost and flexibility advantages for
business customers as well as growth and cash generation for
THUS.  Our service innovation and capability continues to propel
us forward and gives the Board confidence in continued revenue
growth and cash generation over the current year."

TWINLAB CORPORATION: Court Refuses to Stay Confirmed Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
The Honorable Jed S. Rakoff of the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York denied the emergency motion filed
by three class claimants in Twin Laboratories Inc., n/k/a TL
Administration Inc., and its debtor-affiliates chapter 11 case,
for a stay of orders from the Bankruptcy Court:

    (a) disallowing their class claims against the Debtors; and

    (b) confirming the Debtors' First Amended Joint Plan of
        Liquidation.

The Cirak, Lackowski, and Barr class claimants asked for a stay
of the orders pending the disposition of their appeals.

Judge Rakoff denied a stay pending appeal because the claimants
failed to show that they have a substantial likelihood of success
on their appeals.

The claimants didn't show Judge Rakoff the public interest would
be harmed if the stays weren't granted either.  Judge Rakoff says
that the public interest is, in fact, served by rejecting the
claimants stay motion because creditors expect to receive initial
distributions from the Debtors within days after Plan
Confirmation.

The District Court also disputed the claimants' assertion that
the Courts failed to make findings warranting the release of
certain third-party defendants from their liabilities in exchange
for funds contributed to the Debtors' Plan.  Judge Rakoff
stressed that the Courts made specific factual findings that the
third-party, non-debtor release is vital to the Debtors' Plan.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
confirmed the Debtors' First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation on
July 26, 2005.

The American International Specialty Lines Insurance Company and
certain third party defendants will fund a significant portion of
the distributions provided in the Plan.

American International and the third party defendants, mostly
distributors of the Debtors' Ephedra-containing products, will co
ntribute approximately $16.7 million to the Ephedra Personal
Injury Trust created pursuant to the confirmed Plan.  The third
party contributions brings the recovery of uninsured and
under-insured personal-injury and wrongful-death claimants up to
an estimated range of 49%-65% of the value of their claims.

As part of the deal, the settling third parties will be released
from all claims relating to the 2002-2004 Ephedra PI Claims and
other claims in connection with the Debtors' ephedra-containing
products.

                 July 20 Order Expunging Claims

The District Court removed the Cirak, Lackowski, and Barr class
claims from the allowed claims in the Debtors' Plan because the
three claimants had neglected to diligently move their claims
forward prior to the confirmation of the Debtors' Plan and
because they had failed to meet the requirements of Rule 23 for
class certification.

The Debtor's liquidating plan had already been submitted for a
vote of creditors before the claimants asked the Bankruptcy Court
to exercise its judgment under Rule 9014 for class certification.

Judge Rakoff explains that the granting of the three class action
claims at a late juncture would disrupt the prompt execution of
the Debtor's Plan and delay the distribution to its creditors.

Even if the claimants had filed their class claims, the District
Court contends that their claims will still be disallowed because
they had failed to meet the requirements of Rule 23 for class
certification.  To satisfy Rule 23, the claimants need to show,
among other things, that a class action is superior to other
available methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of
their claims.

Judge Rakoff stated that bankruptcy is superior to a class action
because it consolidates all claims in one forum and allows
claimants to file proofs of claim without counsel and at
virtually no cost.  Since superiority of the class action is lost
in bankruptcy, only compelling reasons for allowing a particular
opt-out class claim can justify applying Rule 23.  The Court did
not find any compelling reason to apply the rule.

                     The Class Claimants

The Cirak Class

The Cirak claimants assert a $27 million general unsecured claim
against the Debtors in connection with a Class Action Complaint
commenced in March 2004.

In the adversary proceeding, the Cirak claimants alleged that the
Debtors falsely advertised that Steroid Hormones are effective
for promoting muscle growth.  The claimants asserted causes of
action for:

   (a) unjust enrichment;

   (b) violation of the Little FTC acts due to the Debtor's
       deceptive acts and practices; and

   (c) violations of the federal Racketeer Influenced and
       Corrupt Organization Act.

The Debtors First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation classified
the Cirak class claim as a General Unsecured Claim.

The claimants objected to the provisions of the Plan because it
allegedly:

   (a) lacks adequate information regarding their claims;

   (b) caps disbursement on their $27 million claim at $350,000;

   (c) discriminates among the 2002-2004 Ephedra PI Claims in
       Class 4 and their claim, which is treated as a Class 5
       General Unsecured Claim;

   (d) includes releases and injunctions in favor of
       third parties; and

   (e) provides a distribution to equity holders.

The Barr Class

The Barr class claimants commenced a class action suit against
the Debtors on August 23, 2002.  The suit, filed with the
California Superior Court of Orange County, alleges that the
Debtors violated State consumer fraud, false advertising and
unfair competition laws in connection with its marketing of
dietary supplements and weight loss products containing ephedra.

The products were marketed to consumers as safe, natural and part
of a healthy lifestyle.  The claimants say that the Debtors'
advertising concealed significant health risks from these
products.

The Barr class claimants object to the provisions of the Plan on
substantially the same reason presented by the Cirak class,
namely: the lack of adequate information, payment caps,
discrimination among the 2002-2004 Ephedra PI Claims and Class 5
General Unsecured Claim and the releases and injunctions in favor
of third parties.

On Sept. 4, 2003, Twinlab Corporation, Twin Laboratories Inc. and
Twin Laboratories (UK) Ltd., commenced voluntary cases under
chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
These chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered under
chapter 11 case number 03-15564 and are pending before the
Honorable Cornelius Blackshear.

Also, on Sept. 4, 2003, the Companies entered into certain asset
purchase agreement with IdeaSphere, Inc. of Grand Rapids,
Michigan, pursuant to which the Companies sold substantially all
of their assets.  The sale closed on Dec. 9, 2003.  In connection
with the sale, the Debtors obtained an order from the Court
authorizing them to change their names.  Twinlab Corporation
changed its name to TL Administration Corporation, Twin
Laboratories Inc., changed its name to TL Administration Inc.,
and Twin Laboratories (UK) Ltd., changed its name to TL
Administration (UK) Ltd.

As of June 30, 2005, TL Administration Corporation's balance
sheet reflected a $53,703,000 equity deficit.  At the end of the
same period, TL Administration, Inc., stockholders' deficit
amounted to $20,722,000.  TL Administration (UK) Ltd. reported a
$1,277,000 equity deficit as of the end of the second quarter.

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR-Europe contains a list of
companies with insolvent balance sheets based on the latest
publicly available balance sheet available to our editors at the
time of publication.  At first glance, this list may look like
the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell
short.  Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at
historical cost net of depreciation may understate the true value
of a firm's assets.  A company may establish reserves on its
balance sheet for liabilities that may never materialize.  The
prices at which equity securities trade in public market are
determined by more than a balance sheet solvency test.
