Depends on how you read between the lines. In German business-speak, "Konzentration auf das Kerngeschäft" (concentration on core business) typically means "major financial problems forcing us to take extreme measures". You often hear this line from companies who suffered disastrous losses in some market segments and who are panically trying to get rid of their least profitable parts in an attempt to prevent total breakdown. I'm not saying this is necessarily the case here, maybe I'm a bit overly sensitive due to hearing similar statements from the stock exchange, so please don't flame me for starting rumours on Millennium's financial background, I definitely don't mean to. --- Shep
