----------
Hutchmed China Ltd - Hong Kong-based biopharmaceutical company - For the six months ended June 30, pretax loss widens to USD200.6 million from USD140.4 million a year prior, due to ballooning research costs related to the start of trials for combining the group's own drug compounds with that of its collaboration partners. Revenue meanwhile increases 28% to USD202.0 million from USD157.4 million, as a result of commercial progress from Hutchmed's three oncology drugs Elunate, Sulanda and Orpathys. In addition, Hutchmed announces the start of its bridging study of tazemetostat in patients with follicular lymphoma in China.

----------
James Halstead PLC - Manchester-based flooring products manufacturer - Expects its turnover for the year ended June 30 to be 9% to 10% higher compared to the previous year.

Tonight Josephine is the third brand from within the group to open in Bristol, across four different sites. It is the first location outside of London where we are proving how well our different bar concepts can work alongside each other without cannibalising revenue," Chief Executive Sarah Willingham says.
