a strong quarter for CFC. Sales and results have developed extreme
positive. We hold – not least by the successful transaction with
Greenpark, which has proven our investment approach and endorsed our
restructuring work, - sufficient liquid funds, thus being well prepared for
the current financial market situation and the increasing takeover
opportunities arising out of this. We are examining these offers very
carefully with regard to their economical background. We are intensively
doing this and we owe it to our investors to raise the bars very high for
an investment decision towards sustainable success.'
