Acccording to media reports, offers from interested parties have already been sought and ESCADA´s management have informed employees of the imminent sale.Hardly a surprise - as the ESCADA share price continues to plummet and
the profit predictions for the previous year have had to be lowered yetagain. At that time ESCADA were already making a loss of 27.3 million Euros. ESCADA is on it´s last legs and it seems the company urgently has to see how it is going to avouid going completely bankrupt.
