KARSTADTQUELLE AG: Sells Real Estate Asset for EUR3.7-Bln Cash
--------------------------------------------------------------
KarstadtQuelle AG, Essen, sold a real estate package valued at
EUR4.5 billion to a joint company of Whitehall Fund (51%) and
KarstadtQuelle (49%).  

Whitehall Fund is owned by investment bank Goldman Sachs.  
KarstadtQuelle (including CTA program) receives an immediate
cash payment of EUR3.7 billion.  The company expects an
additional EUR800 million from the participation in the
appreciation of these real estate assets as agreed with
Whitehall.

"We believe that the value of the department store real estate
assets will increase substantially over the coming years.  For
this reason, we opted for a strategic model that allows us to
completely redeem Group debt, while at the same time enabling us
to participate in the appreciation of the real estate," said
Thomas Middelhoff, chief executive officer of KarstadtQuelle AG,
at the Annual Press Conference.  "With this, the Management
Board achieved an optimum result for all shareholders."

Investment bank Rothschild supported the assessment of the
various options for commercializing the real estate.  As the
tenant with long-term leasing agreements, Karstadt Warenhaus
GmbH will continue to operate the department and sports stores
at the same leasing conditions as previously.

"We reduce Group debt to zero, and this gives us new flexibility
for further development and growth on the basis of a less
capital-intensive business model," said Mr. Middelhoff.  "We are
strengthening our equity ratio directly to approximately 20
percent.  As a result of this transaction, our Group earnings
before tax (EBT) will improve by more than EUR100m a year on a
sustainable basis.  In addition, we will realize an
extraordinary income of almost EUR2 billion before tax this
year."  

Mr. Middelhoff also disclosed that in 2006 the Group would
commercialize further real estate assets with a value of EUR600
million in a separate transaction to that just concluded.  This
would bring the total value of real estate transactions to
EUR5.1 billion.

"For the first time in many years, KarstadtQuelle Group's
planning is back under control," said Mr. Middelhoff at the
Annual Press Conference.  

                      Full-Year Report

In a challenging year of restructuring and realignment in a
continuously difficult retail environment, the Group achieved
and even exceeded its targets for the 2005 financial year.  
Group sales, adjusted for the strong impact of the realignment,
were EUR15.45 billion, compared to EUR16.14 billion in the
previous year, down 4.2 percent.  Adjusted EBITDA improved by
5.1 percent to EUR544m, compared to EUR518m in the previous
year.  With these results, the company clearly achieved its
targets for the year.

In 2005, net financial liabilities were reduced by a third to
EUR3.0billion (including Thomas Cook), down from EUR4.5billion
in the previous year.  This reduction was much stronger than
planned.  Key contributors were the successful implementation of
the disinvestment program and the sale of receivables (ABS) in
Mail Order.  Working capital was almost halved.  End of 2005, it
totaled EUR1.2 billion, down from EUR2.3billion in the previous
year.  On an operating level, an improvement of 11 percent was
achieved.

"It remains our paramount objective to make the company fit for
the future", said Mr. Middelhoff.  "The core business areas are
department stores, home shopping and tourism.  In all these
areas we must achieve even better operating success, with a
clear customer focus, service and care.  We have set an overall
EBITDA margin target of 6 to 7 percent for the Group."

The Department Store portfolio of the group will be realigned
and clearly positioned.  Five stores, including the Alsterhaus
in Hamburg and the KaDeWe in Berlin, are to be combined into the
Premium Group.  Eight further stores will follow successively.  
All the stores are in top locations and will offer an
international buying ambience with leading brands and high
service level.  The other department stores will be combined in
the Boulevard and Boulevard Plus segments.  "With this strategy
we will create considerable additional value in our department
store portfolio over the next few years.  This is already
evident is the sales figures our modernized stores are
generating", said Mr. Middelhoff.

In Mail Order, the objective is to conclude the initiated
restructuring by the end of 2007.  In the process neckermann.de
and Quelle are to be more strongly separated than in the past,
but will benefit from stronger usage of joint services in the
back office.  In the future neckermann.de will be more
rigorously focused on e-commerce, while Quelle will continue to
expand its position as Europe's largest mail order business.  
"The principle of home shopping is not only alive but has a
great future, given the clear advantages of being able to choose
what one wants, when and where one wants, to obtain financing
service, supply and assembly and all this at a fair price," said
Mr. Middelhoff.

Thomas Cook has returned to profitability after a comprehensive
two-year restructuring program.  The company in which
KarstadtQuelle holds a 50 percent stake is consolidated pro rata
in the annual financial statements 2005 for the first time.  The
realignment of the second-largest tourism group in Europe is to
be vigorously continued, in particular by extending internet
sales.

"We are on track to becoming an absolutely normal company
again," summarized the CEO.  "In 2004, the company fought for
survival.  Over the past year, we considerably increased the
pace for restructuring.  We completed our disinvestment program
rapidly and with great success.  Now, we are taking the next
step of creating a retail and tourism group that is successful
on a long-term basis."

In the future, KarstadtQuelle will strengthen its design
expertise; offer more collections in its mail order companies
and the department stores per year as well as strengthening its
own brands.  To do this, a new Group Management Board function
is to be created for purchasing and procurement.  "We will
considerably extend our procurement volume in Asia, and plan to
reduce our working capital by EUR500 million," said Mr.
Middelhoff.  Initially Prof. Helmut Merkel who is also
responsible for Department Stores will hold the new Management
Board position.  KarstadtQuelle is currently examining whether
the company can establish cooperation with a strong
international partner for procurement.

For the current financial year, the Group expects a slight
increase of sales (on a comparable basis) and an improvement of
adjusted EBITDA by approximately 20 percent.  Supported by the
profitable expansion of the leading market position in the core
business areas, the company plans sales of between EUR17billion
and EUR18billion after the completion of its restructuring.  
Then, EBITDA is expected to be at the level of approximately
EUR1.1billion, equivalent to an EBITDA margin of 6 percent to 7
percent.

LEAR CORP: Refinancing Debt & Restructuring European Unit
---------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of Lear Corporation (NYSE: LEA) approved
several significant actions to strengthen the company's
financial flexibility and reposition the company's operational
focus.

These include:

   -- the approval of bank commitments for $800 million in
      secured term loans;

   -- an agreement in principle to contribute substantially all
      of Lear's European Interior Products business to the joint
      venture with WL Ross & Co. LLC; and

   -- the suspension of the company's dividend program.

"The senior leadership of Lear understands that near-term
challenges within the automotive sector are weighing heavily on
investors' minds," said Bob Rossiter, Lear's chairman and chief
executive officer.  "By refinancing our 2007 debt maturities
early, investors can be assured that the company is financially
sound and focused on improving our longer-term operating
performance."

                       Bank Commitments

Lear has received commitments from four of its largest global
lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A.,
Citibank, N.A. and Deutsche Bank, to provide Lear with an
aggregate $800 million of secured term loans.  The term loans
will mature no earlier than March 2012 and are expected to be
made on market terms.  A portion of the proceeds will be used to
refinance the company's $400 million term loan scheduled to
mature in February 2007.  The remaining proceeds are expected to
fund the retirement of Lear's outstanding convertible senior
notes and for general corporate purposes.  The financing
commitments are subject to customary terms and conditions.

In connection with the new term loan facilities, the company's
primary credit facility would be amended and restated to, among
other things, provide additional collateral for both the
company's existing revolving credit facility and the new term
loans, increase the interest rates applicable to the revolving
credit facility and provide additional flexibility under the
facility's existing financial covenants through 2007.

The amendment and restatement of the company's primary credit
facility will require the consent of lenders holding a majority
of the outstanding commitments.  The banks that provided the
financing commitments for the term loans have agreed to support
the proposed amendment.  The amendment and restatement of the
credit facility and the new term loan facility are expected to
be completed in the second quarter.

                     European Restructuring

Additionally, Lear's Board of Directors approved an agreement in
principle to contribute substantially all of the company's
European Interior Products operations to International
Automotive Components Group, Lear's joint venture with WL Ross &
Co. LLC and Franklin Mutual Advisers LLC.  The transaction is
consistent with the framework agreement the parties entered into
last fall to explore strategic opportunities in the automotive
interior components sector.

IAC was recently formed to acquire the principal businesses of
Collins & Aikman Corporation in Europe.  In exchange for its
European Interiors business, Lear expects to receive a 34%
equity stake in the joint venture.  The transaction is subject
to negotiation of definitive documentation as well as customary
conditions, including the receipt of all required regulatory
approvals, and is expected to close before June 30, 2006.

Lear's European Interior operations that are being contributed
to the joint venture include nine manufacturing locations
generating about $750 million in annual sales, as well as
certain management and operational support functions.  The
combined European Interior operations of Lear and Collins &
Aikman would represent the largest enterprise of its kind in
Europe, and provide a solid platform for improving ongoing
operating performance.

                    Quarterly Dividend Program

The Board also suspended Lear's quarterly cash dividend program
to provide an additional measure of liquidity cushion given
current industry conditions.  "While we regret having to suspend
the dividend program, management is focused on preserving the
company's financial flexibility in a very challenging industry
environment," Rossiter continued.  "At the same time, the entire
Lear team is working to improve our ongoing financial results,
with an emphasis on improving cash flow and taking further
aggressive actions to address our under-performing Interior
Products business globally."

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 22,
Moody's Investors Service lowered Lear's Corporate Family and
Senior Unsecured Debt ratings to B2 from Ba2.  The actions
reflected deterioration in Lear's operating performance and
prospects below previous expectations.  Leverage is anticipated
to remain elevated over the intermediate term.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 20, Fitch
downgraded Lear's Issuer Default Rating to 'B' from 'BB+', and
the company's senior unsecured debt and secured bank agreement
to 'B+' from 'BB+.  Approximately 53% of Lear's 2005 revenues
were to Ford and GM, which face capacity reductions and
declining production over the next several years.  A Recovery
Rating of 'RR3' has been assigned, indicating that in the event
of further deterioration in financial and operating results to
the point where the company sought Chapter 11 protection,
recovery values on secured bank facilities and senior unsecured
debt are projected to be between 50%-70%.  Fitch said the Rating
Outlook remains Negative.

EIRJET: Airport Drops Windup Petition After Full Payment Receipt
----------------------------------------------------------------
Shannon-based Eirjet narrowly avoided a possible liquidation
after the Durham Tees Valley Airport withdrew its petition to
have the charter airline wound up, Businessworld says.

The High Court in Shannon was scheduled to hear the petition on
Monday, March 27.  Durham Tees withdrew the petition following
its receipt of Eirjet's payment of an undisclosed debt in full.  

According to the report, the airline's co-founder Paul Schutz
told the Sunday Tribune that the dispute was "a hiccup" over a
debt, which had "got further than it should have".

Headquartered in Shannon, Ireland, Eirjet --
http://www.eirjet.com/-- was founded by ex-Ryanair accountant  
Paul Schutz and a number of former directors from the Irish
airline Skynet, which went into examinership last year.


ELAN CORPORATION: Re-Initiates Trial Dosing of TYSABRI(R)
---------------------------------------------------------
Biogen Idec and Elan Corporation, Plc enrolled and dosed the
first patients in the TYSABRI(R) (natalizumab) monotherapy
safety extension study program in multiple sclerosis (MS).  

Patients who previously participated in the Phase III MS trials
and subsequent safety evaluation are eligible to be screened for
entry in this open label multi-center study.  Sites throughout
Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and
Israel are expected to enroll patients.  This safety extension
study is being conducted under a U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) Investigational New Drug application in the
U.S. and similar investigational approvals internationally.

Biogen Idec and Elan had previously voluntarily suspended
TYSABRI from the U.S. market and dosing in all ongoing clinical
trials based on reports of progressive multifocal
leukoencephalopathy, a rare and potentially fatal, demyelinating
disease of the central nervous system.  Biogen Idec and Elan
completed a comprehensive safety evaluation of more than 3,000
TYSABRI patients in collaboration with leading experts in PML
and MS.  The results of the safety evaluation yielded no new
confirmed cases of PML beyond the three previously reported.

On March 8, the Peripheral and Central Nervous System Drugs
Advisory Committee of the FDA voted unanimously to recommend
reintroduction of TYSABRI as a treatment for relapsing forms of
MS.  The companies anticipate action by the FDA regarding the
reintroduction of TYSABRI in the U.S. on or before June 28,
2006.  The companies' application for approval of TYSABRI as a
treatment for MS is also under review with the European
Medicines Agency.

IMPREGILO SPA: Hikes Net Loss & Cuts Total Debt in 2005
-------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors approved the Impregilo S.p.A. and Group
2005 consolidated financial statements to be presented to the
Shareholders' Meeting convened for April 28, 2006 (first call)
and May 3, 2006 (second call).   

Consolidated net sales totaled EUR2.4 billion, compared to
EUR2.9 billion in 2004.  The decrease from the earlier year
arose from a general downturn in sales volumes, the de-
consolidation of some operations and the absence of
extraordinary items recognized in 2004.  The result is not seen
as a cause for concern given the acquisition of important new
projects currently being formalized in the Construction
business.  
  
The Group posted a consolidated operating loss of EUR254.4
million.  A significant factor in the result was the aggregate
operating loss (EUR260 million) of the non-core businesses
(Building & Services, Campania MSW Project, Imprepar in
liquidation), which are being sold/retired or are in
liquidation.  

There was a significant improvement in financial income and
expense as a result of the financial restructuring, which
reduced financial expense in respect of banks, bondholders and
other providers of finance by approximately EUR32.4 million.  

Impregilo posted a consolidated net loss of EUR358.2 million, of
which EUR295 million related to losses on the non-core
businesses and EUR125 million to restructuring projects
involving provisions and write-downs in the core businesses:
Construction (major infrastructures, headed by Impregilo
S.p.A.), Plant (desalination, smoke treatment, waste to energy
conversion, environmental reclamation, headed by the
subsidiaries Fisia Italimpianti and Fisia Babcock) and
Concessions (headed by the subsidiary Impregilo International
Infrastructure N.V.).  

The consolidated loss does not include the gain, for an
estimated EUR100 million, expected from the sale of the
Costanera Norte motorway concession in Chile, on which a binding
agreement was reached in December 2005 with the buyers
(Autostrade S.p.A. and SIAS).  The final contracts were signed
on March 15 last, although they are still subject to a number of
conditions, which are expected to be fulfilled shortly.  

Net debt at Dec. 31, 2005 was EUR489.3 million (not including
net debt on discontinued operations), and was down by EUR672
million from Dec. 31 2004.  During the year, share capital was
increased by EUR651.9 million.  

Shareholders' equity at Dec. 31, 2005 amounted to EUR516.7
million, an increase of EUR305 million from Dec. 31, 2004.

IMPREGILO SPA: Signs EUR4 Billion Messina Bridge Deal
-----------------------------------------------------
The Stretto di Messina company and Impregilo, the lead company
and agent for the temporary group of companies, has signed the
contract assigning final and executive project planning and
construction of the bridge over the Straits of Messina, and
related rail and road links, to the General Contractor.

The contract is worth EUR3.9 billion.  It envisages ten months
of work on the final and executive projects and five years of
construction work.  

The other members of the temporary group of companies led by
Impregilo S.p.A. with a 45% share are:

   -- Spain's Sacyr S.A. (18.70%),

   -- the Italian companies Societ. Italiana per Condotte
      D'Acqua S.p.A. (15%) and Cooperativa Muratori &
      Cementisti-C.M.C. of Ravenna (13%),

   -- Japan's Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co. Ltd.
      (6.30%),

   -- Consorzio Stabile A.C.I. S.c.p.a (2%).  

The General Contractor will also be assisted by the Danish and
Canadian companies Cowi A/S, Sund & Baelt A/S and Buckland &
Taylor Ltd., who will be handling project engineering.

"The signature of the contract is the logical conclusion of the
bid procedure after the final award decided by the Board of
Directors of Stretto di Messina and the recent ruling of the
regional administrative tribunal of Lazio rejecting the request
for suspension," commented Pietro Ciucci, Chief Executive
Officer of Stretto di Messina.

"In view of the value of the contract -- more than EUR4 billion
-- and the unique nature of the project, this was an extremely
complex operation and involved countless national and
international players."

"The first task for the General Contractor is to draw up the
final project," Mr. Ciucci added.  "I am certain they will work
closely with Stretto di Messina and the local authorities to
take account of requirements and indications.  At the same time,
plans will also be drawn up for the ancillary works to be built
in the area in which the bridge will be constructed, in order to
optimize the social and economic effects of the bridge project
for the local community.  In parallel, the General Contractor
will have to set up a local team and, as provided by the
contract, organize the necessary professional training for local
personnel.  Completion of the final project, approval by
Stretto di Messina and the start-up of the procedure prescribed
under Italian law for final approval by the inter-ministerial
economic planning committee should all take place by the end of
2006."

"We are delighted that with the closing of the contract we can
begin work on project development," said Alberto Lina, Impregilo
Chief Executive Officer.  

"On one hand this is an important opportunity for infrastructure
development and job creation in Sicily and Calabria; on the
other, it provides Italian engineering and research with a
unique showcase, here in Italy, for their expertise in the
planning and construction of complex and technologically
advanced infrastructures like the Straits of Messina Bridge."

URALTRANSBANK: Fitch Puts B- on Issuer Default Rating
-----------------------------------------------------
Fitch placed Russia-based Uraltransbank's ratings at Issuer
Default B-, National Long-term BB+, Short-term B, Individual D
and Support 5.  The Outlooks on both Issuer Default and National
Long-term ratings are Stable.

The affirmation follows the recent criminal charges brought
against the bank's Chairman and majority owner- Valery Zavodov -
concerning alleged granting of loans on non-market terms, and
resultant negative publicity for the bank in the local
Ekaterinburg and national media.  

Fitch comments that, notwithstanding these events, the bank's
liquidity has held up relatively well, with outflows limited to
approximately 6% of customer funds during the first two weeks of
March, and the situation stabilizing since then.  Fitch also
notes that the bank's Chairman, management and supervisory board
have vigorously challenged the charges brought.

Fitch notes that should any escalation of the current situation
result in further negative publicity and pressure on the bank's
liquidity, the ratings could see a negative impact.  Although
liquidity risk management is relatively prudent at UTB, with a
minimum 25% of assets held in cash equivalents, and granting of
larger corporate loans has been temporarily suspended in order
to support liquidity, the bank is ultimately dependent on
customers' loyalty and lacks immediate refinancing sources.

Furthermore, the bank's decision-making processes are currently
heavily dependent on the Chairman and could be significantly
disrupted should his participation temporarily not be possible.

More generally, UTB's ratings reflect its moderate core
earnings, tightening capital ratios and relatively small size,
while also considering its well-developed retail and SME
franchises in its local region.  Asset quality has been
acceptable to date, but deteriorated to some extent in 2005.

Loan concentrations, although significant, are moderate for the
Russian market.  Fitch will complete a full review of UTB's
ratings following the publication of the 2005 IFRS financial
statements and meetings with the bank's management.

Uraltransbank is a small bank, well recognized in its home
region and focused on retail and SME customers.  Further
penetration of the broader Urals Federal District of Russia is
planned for 2006.  The bank is ultimately controlled by Mr.
Zavodov, who is also the Chairman of the management board, while
the EBRD has owned a blocking stake of 25% + 1 share since Q404.


YUKOS OIL: Court Bans Asset Sale Absent Manager's Permission
------------------------------------------------------------
The Moscow Arbitration Court has banned Yukos Oil Company from
selling its assets worth more than RUB30 million without
permission from court-appointed external manager Eduard Rebgun.

Mr. Rebgun sought the additional measure to ensure security of
the company's property, RosBusinessConsulting says.

As reported in TCR Europe on March 17, the Hon. Pavel Markov
placed OAO Yukos Oil Co. under temporary outside supervision
until June 27, when he will consider whether to liquidate the
company.

Yukos lawyer Drew Holiner said March 28 that temporary managers
will be able to disallow sales exceeding 5% of the company's
worth without giving a monetary figure, Bloomberg News relates.

The court ruling came in light of Yukos' attempts to sell its
53.7% stake in AB Mazeikiu Nafta to the Lithuanian government
for not less than US$1 billion, proceeds from which will be used
to pay off parts of its outstanding debts.

               State Eyes Nationalization for Yukos Unit

Lithuania Prime Minister Algirdas Brazauskas told radio Ziniu
Radijas that the government could nationalize Yukos' unit absent
any other alternative.

"If matters don't improve, the government will submit to the
parliament a bill on Mazeikiu's nationalization," Mr. Brazauskas
said.

The prime minister expects Yukos to sign the sale agreement by
early next week.  Yukos' chief executive officer Steven Theede
will meet with Lithuanian representatives in Vilnius today,
March 31, Economy Ministry spokeswoman Orijana Jakimauskiene
told Bloomberg.  The ministry is running the sale.

According to Bloomberg, Juodeikiai-based Mazeikiu accounts for
about 20% of the economy in Lithuania, which joined the European
Union in 2004, and is the only oil refinery in the Baltic
region.

Lithuania owns 41% in the refinery and, following the proposed
purchase of Yukos' stake, plans to sell 75% to another foreign
investor, according to published reports.  Russia's two biggest
oil companies, Lukoil (with ConocoPhillips) and TNK-BP, Poland's
PKN-BP and Kazakhstan's KazMunaiGas have participated in the
bidding race.

Headquartered in Moscow, Russia, Yukos Oil Company --
http://yukos.com/-- 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 Dec. 14, 2004
(Bankr. S.D. Tex. Case No. 04-47742), but the case was dismissed
on Feb. 24, 2005, by the Hon. Letitia Z. Clark.  A few days
after, its main production unit Yugansk, was sold by the
government to a little-known firm Baikalfinansgroup for US$9.35
billion, as payment for US$27.5 billion in tax arrears for 2000-
2003.  Yugansk eventually was bought by state-owned Rosneft,
which is now claiming more than US$12 billion from Yukos.

Roughly a year after the U.S. Bankruptcy Court dismissal, a
consortium of 14 bank lenders led by Societe Generale SA, filed a
new bankruptcy suit in the Moscow Arbitration Court on March 10
in an attempt to recover the remainder of a US$1 billion debt under
outstanding loan agreements.

                        About Corus Group

Corus Group PLC -- http://www.corusgroup.com/-- is one of the  
world's largest metal producers with a turnover of over
GBP9 billion and major operating facilities in the U.K., the
Netherlands, Germany, France, Norway, Belgium and Canada.

Operating through four divisions -- Strip Products, Long
Products, Aluminium and Distribution & Building Systems -- Corus
has over 48,000 employees in over 40 countries and sales offices
and service centers worldwide.

Corus was created through the merger of British Steel plc and
Koninklijke Hoogovens N.V.  It suffered six years ago from the
crisis in British manufacturing, which prompted it to shake up
management, close plants, cut jobs, and sell assets to lower
debt.  Its debt was thought to stand at GBP1.6 billion in 2002.

After posting a net loss of GBP458 million in 2003, it embarked
on a restructuring program, signed a new EUR1.2 billion banking
facility, and issued GBP307 million worth of shares.  It
returned to operating profit in the first quarter of 2004.  The
recent recovery of steel prices and the strength of the euro are
expected to help it achieve relatively strong earnings.

                        *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on March 23,
Fitch Ratings changed Corus Group PLC's Outlook to Positive from
Stable and affirmed the Issuer Default Rating at BB- following
the company's announcement of its 2005 results and plan to
dispose its aluminium business for EUR826 million.  Corus' debt
instruments are also affirmed as listed below.

  a) Corus Group PLC EUR800 mln 7.5% senior notes B+;

LIFE SCIENCES: Equity Deficit Widens to $14.5 Million at Dec. 31
----------------------------------------------------------------
Life Sciences Research, Inc. (Other OTC: LSRI) reported its
financial results for the year ended Dec. 31, 2005.

The company reported US$1,491,000 of net income on
US$172,013,000 of revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2005.

At Dec. 31, 2005, the company's balance sheet showed
US$184,369,000 in total assets and US$198,937,000 in total
liabilities, resulting in a US$14,568,000 stockholders' deficit.

The company's Dec. 31 balance sheet also showed strained
liquidity with $63,265,000 in total current assets available to
pay $119,760,000 in liabilities coming due within the next 12
months.

"2005 was another great year of progress in improving our
financial performance with operating income up by one third on
2004, and now representing 12% of revenues," Brian Cass, LSR's
President said.

"Net orders for the year set a new record and we had a book to
bill ratio of 1.06.  This would have been even more but some
customers faced difficulties in the development of their
compounds so cancellations were unusually high this year."

"However such variations which impact quarterly results are a
feature of our business.  We approach 2006 with confidence and
optimism.  Order levels on fourth quarter were solid with a book
to bill of 1.13 and these will flow through to revenues later
this year."

"As always my thanks go to our employees and other stakeholders
who have shown commitment and determination in supporting our
company through another excellent year."
