NEW YORK Cordiant Communications Group confirmed Thursday that it is looking to offload non-core assets, including Financial Dynamics International and its 77-percent stake in Scholz & Friends, in order to focus on the Bates Group.

The announcement comes two weeks after the British holding company said it was exploring a sale of majority stake in its Australian operations, including George Patterson Bates. CCG also said that will consider exercising its option to sell its 25-percent stake in the Zenith Optimedia Group in January 2004.
