Dear Sirs and Madams,

"We offer consultation for the consolidation of happy & successful company marriages" is one of our famous slogans. On 29 October 2005, Dorota Blaszczyk, the life and soul of our Cross Border Business with Poland, is getting married. We all hope that this private deal will be just as happy and successful as the business deals for which Dorota has provided support with her positive personality, clarity and competence as a Master of Economics. We wish Dorota Blaszczyk (DBlaszczyk@JPMergers.com) all the very best in her marriage and many days and hours of happiness and sunshine.

I am also proud to be able to give you another important piece of internal news. We have expanded significantly. Three new advisors have joined our team: Dr. Werner Hoffmann (53), Thomas Michaelis (47) and Ulrich Neukirchen (53). Between them, the “newcomers” possess three key characteristics – and that was particularly important for us:

First, they bring with them many years of experience from managerial posts, not only in major concerns but also in medium-sized companies. We think it is important for our advisors to have practical experience.

Second, Hoffmann, Michaelis and Neukirchen are familiar with international business, e.g. as head of strategy of a multinational motor vehicle group, as the German head of a global consultancy group or as the financial boss of a multinational telecommunications company. Cross Border Business is not an alien concept to us.

Third - and that is particularly important for me – they are all fans of the old entrepreneurial virtues. They believe that a long-term approach and consideration for the welfare of everyone involved are among the basic principles of business activity.

In this edition of the JP Director's Report, the “newcomers” have gone to particular trouble:

Following the restructuring phases of recent years, the balance sheets of many firms are back in order and there is sufficient cash available for renewed growth. In our global world, growth is vital to survival. In his article entitled "Go for Growth ..." Dr. Werner Hoffmann describes the right way to plan and manage successful growth

Thomas Michaelis is the author of the article "Central Europe – an attractive market for property investors", in which he outlines the developments and exceptional opportunities in the European property business.

With the provocative question "Are private equity investors locusts?" Ulrich Neukirchen takes up the cudgels for private equity firms. Neukirchen explains what important functions these capital providers perform in our national economies.

Hans-Jürgen Kenntner, aged 39, is one of the veteran Senior Advisors on the JP Team. In the "Tips & Tricks" column, Hans-Jürgen Kenntner explains the terms "Management Buy Out (MBO)" and "Management Buy In (MBI)". Both these models are becoming increasingly important, especially in connection with succession planning.

Last but not least, "Fusions and takeovers" once again describes numerous interesting projects. In recent months – despite all the media reports of the crisis in the car industry – there has been strong demand for firms supplying the car makers. In this sector, in particular, we are looking for investment and acquisition opportunities. But demand for successful firms is growing in many other markets, too.

Best wishes for the coming month.

Kind regards,
