IOCOM LIMITED: Releases Chairman`s AGM Address To Shareholders
--------------------------------------------------------------
Iocom Limited posted Chairman Scott Brown's Annual General
Meeting Address to shareholders:

CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS

"Clearly the financial year ended 30 June 2001 was a difficult
one for Iocom. The Company recorded operating losses of $7.3
Million and one off abnormal items of $5.4 Million. The result
is completely unacceptable and greatly disappoints the board.

"The Company's losses in the 2001, had their genesis in the
previous financial year. The 2000 financial year had seen the
greatest boom in the IT industry's history. Iocom had made a
record profit of $978,000 pretax, the millennium bug, internet
and e-commerce fueled the boom. Optimism knew no bounds.

"I can now say with the grand benefit of hindsight it was in
this environment that the Company expanded far too fast and
uncontrolled, into many different areas which it did not
necessarily have experience in.

"MUA was meant to be a strong profit contributor instead it
became a disaster with lots of red ink. Fullcrm, our software
venture was launched during the year with plenty of promises,
ended unfortunately with tears. These two businesses which have
now been discontinued (thankfully) contributed the majority of
the Company's losses.

"Internet Business Solutions, which is now trading under
Fortress Networks Pty Limited also failed to meet expectations
and has contributed to the Company's losses. Worse still was the
once profitable Iocom Solutions ( our core business) lost two
large contracts with Amcor and Manpower and the first half of
the year with the result that Iocom Solutions was recording
losses. The combined losses had serious weaken the financial
position of the Company. Urgent action was required to stem the
losses. Regrettable the board could not agree on the course of
action required and on 5 January 2001 I resigned as a director
of this Company.

"It would have been easy for me to look the other way and not
get back involved, but I felt that shareholders required a
rescue operation to be mounted on their behalf. On 13 March
2001, I agree to come back as Non-Executive Chairman and assist
in the restructuring of the Company.

"The Company has been through a difficult time since and took
the following action including:

* Closing MUA including terminating all staff;

* Closing the Fullcrm and UBSP software venture;

* Reducing the staff numbers from approximately 90 to 45.

* Introducing a joint venture funding party into the CTI
division which is now called Unified Communications Systems
Limited (We now own 20% and have no requirement to provide
funding to the JV).

* Significantly refining Iocom Solutions Operations Procedures.

"I am pleased to report that the restructuring is starting to
have a positive effect. While it is still early days, Iocom
Solutions is showing signs of an improving trend. In the current
half year to December we are expecting to post a loss, be it a
significantly reduced one compared to last year. However if the
improving trend continues we would expect Iocom Solutions to
post a profit in the second half of the financial year.

"I believe the worst is now behind us. The past nine months has
been a very difficult and stressfully time for all of us at the
Company. It is a tribute to our staff and directors for their
perseverance.

"I now want to turn my attention briefly to the future and the
deal with Optima. I believe that the deal with Optima is an
excellent one for the Company and all shareholders. The main
advantages include:

1. A good business with strong profit history;

2. Excellent motivated management lead by Cornel Ung and his
team (We will hear from Cornel later after the meeting.)

3. The No 1 PC vendor in Australia;

4. Tremendous synergies with Iocom;

5. It will give the Company the scale it has always desired.

6. It brings considerable cash resources, The Cash balance was
in excess of $7 million as at 30 June 2001.

"I would like thank my follow directors - Phillip Walter and
Robert Biancardi for their efforts during the year.

"Finally, I would like to thank you our loyal shareholders for
your support during this difficult year. I look forward to next
year, where I hope to report on the Company's successful
recovery."


ROEHAMPTON RESOURCES: Ex-Director Charged With Insider Trading
--------------------------------------------------------------
David Knott, Chairman of the Australian Securities and
Investments Commission (ASIC), announced that Perth Company
Director, Michael John MacDermott has been charged with eight
counts of insider trading in the shares of Roehampton Resources
NL.

Mr. MacDermott appeared in the Perth Court of Petty Sessions on
November 30 and has been bailed to reappear in the Court on 21
December 2001.  The matter is being prosecuted by the
Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions. He was charged
following an ASIC investigation into the circumstances
surrounding the trading of shares in the listed company
Roehampton Resources. ASIC alleges that Mr. MacDermott's private
companies sold Roehampton Resources shares held in the names of
those companies between 6 May and 10 May 1996, the week
preceding the appointment of a Voluntary Administrator to
Roehampton Resources on 13 May 1996.

Mr. MacDermott became a director of Roehampton Resources on 17
January 1996 and was its managing director from that time until
the appointment of the Voluntary Administrator, at which time
Roehampton Resources was suspended from listing on the
Australian Stock Exchange. He was also a director of the
Roehampton Resources wholly owned subsidiary Roehampton
Developments Pty Ltd. ASIC will not comment further on this
matter at this time.


TAX INVEST: Former Canberra Investment Adviser Pleads Guilty
------------------------------------------------------------
Marshall John Cobb has appeared in the Canberra Magistrates
Court and pleaded guilty to 13 charges of being knowingly
concerned in making available prescribed interests in breach of
the fundraising provisions of the Corporations Act.  As a
director of Tax Invest Australia Pty Limited (In Liquidation),
Mr. Cobb offered his clients investments in schemes associated
with the failed Queensland based Wattle Group investment scheme.
The 13 charges relate to investments totaling $197,000 by six
people in Canberra and surrounding districts.

In November 1999 ASIC banned Mr. Cobb from being a
representative of either a dealer in securities or an investment
adviser for a period of one year, as a result of his action. The
matter was prosecuted by the Commonwealth Director of Public
Prosecutions. The court adjourned the matter for sentencing to
19 March 2002.

------------------------------------------------------------
Hall Puddy & Wales, Chartered Accountants, posted its

Ltd:

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WATER WHEEL HOLDINGS
LTD (Subject to a Deed of Company Arrangement)

SCOPE

"We have reviewed the financial report of Water Wheel Holdings
Limited (Subject to a Deed of Company Arrangement) in the
form of Appendix 4B of the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX)
Listing Rules including the deed administrator's declaration,

a) material factors affecting the revenues and the expenses of
the consolidated entity for the current period;

b) compliance statement.

"The financial report includes the consolidated financial
statements of the consolidated entity comprising the company and
the entities it controlled at the end of the half-year or from
time to time during the half-year. The disclosing entity's deed
administrator is responsible for the financial report. We have
performed an independent review of the financial report in order
to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described,
anything has come to our attention that would indicate that the
financial report is not presented fairly in accordance with
Accounting Standard AASB 1029 "Half-Year Accounts and
Consolidated Accounts" issued in Australia and other mandatory
professional reporting requirements, statutory requirements and
ASX Listing Rules as they relate to Half Yearly report, so as to
present a view which is consistent with our understanding of
the consolidated entity's financial position, and performance as
represented by the results of its operations and its cash flows
and in order for the disclosing entity to meet its obligations
to lodge the financial report with the Australian Securities and
Investments Commission and the ASX.

"Our review has been conducted in accordance with Australian
Auditing Standards applicable to review engagements. A review is
limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and
analytical procedure applied to the financial data. These
procedures do not provide all the evidence that would be
required in an audit, thus the level of assurance provided is
less than given in an audit. We have not performed an audit and,
accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

STATEMENT

"Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become
aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year
financial report of Water Wheel Holdings Limited (Subject to a
Deed of Company Arrangement) is not in accordance with:

   a) the Corporations Law, including:

     i. giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's   
financial position as at 3 June 2001 and of its performance for
the half-year ended on that date; and

     ii. complying with Accounting Standard AASB 1029 "Half-Year
Accounts and Consolidated Accounts" and the Corporations
Regulations; and

   b) other mandatory professional reporting requirements and
ASX Listing Rules as they relate to Appendix 4B.

EMPHASIS OF MATTER

to the following matter.

"A Deed of Company Arrangement was entered into by the economic
entity on 30 June 2000. As a consequence of this decision asset
were realized in order to extinguish liabilities subject to
proof of Debt and acceptance by the Administrator. The attached
Contingent Liabilities note to the financial statements
indicates possible additional liabilities not recorded in the
financial report. The note refers to the situation as at the
date of this report and may be amended as a result of subsequent
acceptance or otherwise by the Administrator of each Proof of
Debt submitted by creditors with a consequent effect on future
distributions."

NAM FONG: Explains Investment Properties Valuation Difference
-------------------------------------------------------------s
Nam Fong International Holdings Limited, in reference to its
announcement dated September 13, 2001 regarding a profit warning
arising from the revaluation of the Group's investment
properties, informed that the revaluation had been performed by
a valuer in the PRC (the PRC Valuer) and the results of which
had already been accounted for in the Group's Unaudited Interim
Results as announced on September 27, 2001. It was brought to
the Company's attention in late October, 2001 that the China
Securities Regulatory Commission had penalized the PRC Valuer.

In view of the above, the Company confirmed that the management
is not aware of this prior to the engagement of the PRC Valuer
to perform the revaluation for the Group's investment properties
as at June 30, 2001 and even until the completion of the said
valuation. In late October, 2001, with a view to ensure the
value of the Group's investment properties to be fairly stated,
the Company has therefore, for prudence sake, engaged an
independent valuer in Hong Kong to perform a revised valuation
on a major investment property of the Company, Liwan Plaza (the
Property) as at June 30, 2001.

The Group has only two investment properties, of which the value
of the Property accounted for approximately 98% of the total
value as disclosed in the audited financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2000. This subsequent revaluation of the
Property has resulted in a difference of a deficit of
approximately HK$79 million as compared with the previous
valuation results which might lead to a reduction of the Group's
net losses and net assets value reported in the Group's
Unaudited Interim Results.

The Company is of the opinion that the difference does not
materially affect the financial position of the Company. The
Company is prepared to engage a recognized independent
professional valuer to perform an updated valuation of the
Group's investment properties as at December 31, 2001 and that
the forthcoming audited financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2001 of the Group will take into account the
updated valuation as at the balance sheet date.


UDL HOLDINGS: Court Hands Down Final Appeal Judgment

employees of the Subsidiaries against the sanction of the
Schemes (the Sanction) and dismissal of five of the seven

Dismissal), announced that on 3rd December 2001, the Court of

Subsidiaries. The Court of Final Appeal also dismissed the

2001. The petition was filed on August 28, 2001 by Hua Chiao

HOLDIKO PERKASA: Indomobil Sale Raises Rp625B Further Proceeds
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Indonesian Bank Restructuring Agency (IBRA) and PT Holdiko
Perkasa (Holdiko), a holding company established pursuant to the
Shareholding Settlement Agreement between IBRA and the Salim
Group, announced Wednesday that Holdiko's 72.63% equity
shareholding in PT Indomobil Sukses Internasional Tbk.
(Indomobil), and all the convertible bonds issued by Indomobil
to IBRA (IDR 312,902,186,671,-), and Holdiko (IDR
337,382,000,000,-) were sold to a Trimegah led consortium for a
total gross proceeds of IDR 625 billion.

Holdiko's entire 72.63% equity shareholding in Indomobil, was
sold for IDR 452 billion, or IDR 624.5 per share, reflecting a
4% premium over the closing price of IDR 600 on 4 December 2001.
Meanwhile the entire convertible bonds issued by Indomobil to
Holdiko (IDR 337,382,000,000,-) and IBRA (IDR 312,902,186,671,-
), were sold for IDR 90 billion and IDR 83 billion respectively.

"The realization of this transaction is a result of good
coordination between IBRA's Asset Management Investment (AMI)
and Asset Management Credit (AMC) in selling both equity and
bonds," Dasa Sutantio, Deputy Chairman Ad Interim - AMI, IBRA.
"We need to bear in mind that part of IBRA's efforts in trying
to help rehabilitate the financial market is by bringing public
investment back into the private sector. Now that Indomobil's
shares are back in the stock market, we hope that this will also
support the revival of the automotive industry," he added.

Indomobil is the holding company of a fully integrated group of
companies that is engaged in automotive and automotive-related
businesses.

Indomobil has direct and indirect investments in 69 subsidiaries
who act as sole agents for automotive principals, assembler of
automotive components, distributor and retailer of automotive
products, and provide auto financing and after sales services.
Automotive products distributed by its subsidiaries consist of
well-known brands such as Suzuki, Nissan, Mazda, Hino, Volvo,
Audi, Volkswagen, and SsangYong. Indomobil's shares are listed
and traded on the Jakarta Stock Exchange and Surabaya Stock
Exchange with a total 996,502,680 shares. Prior to this sale
Indomobil's shareholding structure consists of PT Holdiko
Perkasa (72.63%), PT Tritunggal Intipermata (20.47%) and the
balance of 6.9% is held by various shareholders including public
shareholders whose individual ownership is less than 5%.

"We are pleased to have won this asset sale transaction, as we
believe that Indomobil, with its strong brand equity and
distribution network, is well positioned for significant growth
upon the recovery of the economy," said Tandip Singh,
international counsel to the Trimegah led consortium.

The Trimegah led consortium consists of a group of local
investment companies whose investment activities focus in
Indonesia. One of the member companies is PT Cipta Sarana Duta
Perkasa, which is based in Jakarta.

"Notwithstanding the tight schedule for this transaction, we
were pleased that there was a high level of investor interest
for the deal," commented Scott Coffey, Director of Holdiko.
""This now takes Holdiko over IDR 11 trillion in gross proceeds
for the year, and we still have one more major transaction to
announce this week," he added.

The sale process of IBRA/Holdiko's ownership in Indomobil began
on 20 November 2001. IBRA/Holdiko received 21 strong expressions
of interest, of which 16 potential investors returned
Confidentiality Agreements, and subsequently 3 potential
investors submitted their final bids. Acting as financial
advisor for this sale is PT Deloitte & Touche FAS.

BRIDGESTONE: To Inject US$1.3B in US Unit
-----------------------------------------
In an effort to boost its finances following heavy losses due to
the mass recall of tires linked to hundreds of deaths and
injuries in the U.S., Japan's Bridgestone Corp. will inject
US$1.3 billion into its U.S. subsidiary, Bridgestone/Firestone
Inc., according to the Asian Wall Street Journal.

Bridgestone's US unit is currently expected to suffer a special
loss of US$1.61 billion this year as it tries to settle hundreds
of lawsuits related to certain allegedly defective tire
products, and as it writes down the value of its U.S. tire
business.

To reduce Firestone's debt, which currently stands at US$2.7
billion, Bridgestone will make the US$1.3 billion capital
injection January to help the company reduce its debt to US$1.4
billion.


BRIDGESTONE CORPORATION: FY Revenues At $7.4B, Net Loss, $1.6B
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bridgestone Corporation's U.S. unit, Bridgestone/Firestone
Americas Holding expects to post full-year sales of US$7.4
billion, slightly below the US$7.5 billion amount set for the
same period of last year, with a bottom-line net loss of US$1.66
billion, PRNewsAsia reported on December 4. The Bridgestone
subsidiary said that the decline in revenues was the result of a
weakening US economy, which translated into a reduced demand for
passenger and light truck vehicles. The net loss of US$1.66
billion for the year includes charges of US$1.61 billion.


MYCAL CORPORATION: Shelves Winter Bonus Pay For Workers
-------------------------------------------------------
Management of the failed supermarket chain operator, Mycal Corp.

a small bonus by year-end, according to Tuesday Kyodo News
report.

Mycal Corporation's former rival, Aeon Company, recently agreed
to sponsor the failed retailer's court-led rehabilitation
program following a previous attempt to reach a compromise
failed.  Mycal has been actively seeking a sponsor for its
rehabilitation program since filing for court protection against
creditors last September.

DAEWOO MOTOR: Parts Makers To Cut Supplies If Left Unpaid
---------------------------------------------------------  
Unless Daewoo Motor Corp. settles its W1.5 trillion in
outstanding debts to them, parts suppliers for the ailing
company are planning to cut their supplies to Daewoo next week,
the Korea Herald Wednesday.

Representatives of the suppliers in a joint statement demanded
that, "A commitment to pay back Daewoo's outstanding debt to
its suppliers, worth W1.5 trillion, should be included in the
takeover contract scheduled to be signed with General Motors."

They went further to say that, "Unless such demands are met,
the components makers will suspend their supplies for one week
from Dec. 11."


HANBO STEEL: AK Capital Chosen As Top Hanbo Takeover Pick
---------------------------------------------------------
The Korea Asset Management Corporation (KAMCO) has chosen AK
Capital over CHB Steel as the top candidate to takeover the
ailing Hanbo Steel, the Korea Herald reported on December 5.

Although AK Capital wasn't able to meet all the evaluation
criteria set by creditors and did not present sufficient
evidence of its funding capabilities, it was still selected over
CHB Steel because its proposal was materially better than that
of its rival.

Thus, KAMCO attached added conditions in return for its
selection of AK Capital as the takeover candidate.

Under the new conditions, AK Capital will only be allowed to
readjust its acquisition price within the range of five percent
above or below its bid price. Furthermore, should AK Capital
refuse to sign a final contract in the absence of grave errors
on the part of the seller, it will be forced to give up the
US$10 million contract guarantee money.

Should the selection gain approval from Hanbo's creditors, KAMCO
will announce the successful bidder by December 8, following the
approval from the court under which Hanbo is under protection.


HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR: Seeks To Put Off Debt Repayment To LG
----------------------------------------------------------  
Hynix Semiconductor seeks to extend the maturity of its debt to
the LG Group due to its acquisition of LG Semiconductor sometime
in 1999, according to yesterday's Korea Herald report.

The LG Group was then forced to let go of its chip unit to Hynix
for W2.56 trillion, under the government's so called "big-deal"
policy. Hynix still has some W400 billion in debts left to pay
as a result of the takeover, and some W288.5 billion of those
are set to mature on Jan. 31 next year and the remainder is due
at the end of June next year. Hynix management wants to ask the
LG Group to put off the debt because it is very important for
Hynix to secure liquidity. However, an LG official said that LG
has no intention of accepting the Hynix request.


HYUNDAI ENGINEERING: Executives Offer To Resign
-----------------------------------------------
A total of 157 executives of Hyundai Engineering & Construction
Co Ltd have handed over their resignations to company President
HY Shim as part of the troubled company's restructuring efforts,
according to PRNewsAsia reported on Wednesday. Company
management however is expected to accept only about 20 percent
of the resignations tendered.

A W2.9 trillion bailout plan for Hyundai Engineering &
Construction has recently been reaffirmed by its creditors. They
also agreed to extend maturities of the ailing construction
company's existing debt.

According to DebtTraders, Hyundai Engineering & Construction's
0.125 percent convertible bonds due in 2004 (HYUNENC), are
trading between 65.0 and 75.0. For more real-time bond pricing

HYUNDAI SECURITIES: Call, Put Options Agreed Upon In AIG Deal
-------------------------------------------------------------
Talks between Hyundai Securities and the American International
Group (AIG)-led consortium suddenly improved when the Korean
brokerage allowed the consortium to exercise call options on the
condition that it also be given put options in return, the Korea
Herald reported Wednesday.

As part of the new deal, Hyundai Securities raised the price for
which the AIG-led consortium can repurchase its Hyundai
Investment Trust & Securities (HITS) share, and at the same
time, the consortium gave Hyundai Securities a put option to
sell its HITS shares to AIG in case HITS fails to normalize
business operations.

As a result, instead of preferred stocks, AIG will be acquiring
Hyundai Securities common shares for W7,000 per share, a
decision which effectively takes care of the problems borne out
of AIG's demands concerning the brokerage's preferred stocks.

Hyundai Securities is seen to successfully hand over its
controlling stake to AIG-led consortium by month's end, as soon
as the two parties reach a consensus on the exact exercise price
of their respective call and put options.


KOREA TELECOM: Moody's Changes Baa2 Outlook To Positive
-------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has changed the outlook of the Baa2
foreign-currency denominated long-term debt ratings of Korea
Telecom (KT) to positive from stable. This reflects the changed
outlook, to positive from stable, for the Republic of Korea's
foreign-currency country ceiling of Baa2. KT's ratings are
constrained by the sovereign ceiling.

KT's ratings reflect its dominant position in the Korean
telecommunication market and the fact that it is well positioned
to benefit from growth in broadband business, and wireless
through KT Freetel. The ratings also incorporate KT's sound
financial profile.

On October, TCR -AP reported that the Company issued W160
billion worth of three-year corporate bonds in the domestic
market to repay commercial paper maturing by year-end and to be
used as working capital.


SEOUL BANK: Shin To Head New Consortium For Takeover Bid
-------------------------------------------------------
Former Seoul Bank head Shin Bok-young has been chosen to lead
negotiations for a consortium of foreign banks and domestic non-
financial companies established for the takeover of Seoul Bank,
according to the Korea Herald yesterday, citing a Seoul Bank
official.

Seoul Bank previously submitted a management improvement plan to
the Financial Supervisory Commission on November 30 that called
for the sale of Seoul Bank to a consortium of foreign investors
and domestic companies.

RENONG BERHAD: Clarifies Media Releases
---------------------------------------
Renong Berhad, responded in reference to this information
appearing in The Sun, Sun Biz, page B1 on Friday, 30 November
2001:

"The government will complete a plan to takeover two rail
companies and convert RM5.32 billion of their overdue loans into
bonds today....."

"Under the plan, the government will acquire 80% of Kuala
Lumpur's light rail system, leaving Renong Bhd.. and other
shareholders with the rest."

Renong Berhad clarified that the Company, in the audited
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2001, advised
that the Government intends to resolve the debts of Projek
Usahasama Transit Ringan Automatik Sdn Bhd (PUTRA), a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Renong Berhad, within the terms of the
Concession Agreement and that this may involve the liquidation
of PUTRA. This matter was also stated in Note 8 (d) to the first
quarter results announced to the KLSE on 26 November 2001.

The Company has since been informed that Syarikat Prasarana
Negara Berhad (SPNB) acquired the rights of the lenders of PUTRA
with respect to the loans granted by these lenders to PUTRA
amounting to approximately RM2.99 billion by SPNB issuing
government-guaranteed bonds to the lenders of PUTRA. With the
acquisition of PUTRA's debts, SPNB is now effectively the
creditor of PUTRA and this will enable SPNB to effect the
takeover of PUTRA's assets relating to the light rail transit
via the initiation of the liquidation process of PUTRA.

As provided for in the audited financial statements for the year
ended 30 June 2001, Renong expects the `takeover' process to be
completed by 30 June 2002.

Contrary to the article in The Sun, the Government did not take
over PUTRA. Renong has not been informed on whether the current
plan will involve the Government acquiring 80% of Kuala Lumpur's
light rail system, leaving Renong and other shareholders with
the rest.

L&M GROUP: Enters Restructuring Agreements
-------------------------------------------
L&M Group Investments Limited (L&M) announced that the Company
has entered into two conditional agreements (Restructuring
Agreements) with Bintai Kinden Corporation Berhad (Bintai), Mr.
William Soeryadjaya and Mr. Edward Soeryadjaya (both the
Soeryadjaya Family) and Orchard Pacific Limited (the Enterprise)
on the restructuring of the Company's bank loan of approximately
S$83.5 million as of November 30, 2001 (the Loan) with Overseas
Union Bank Limited (the Bank) and the investment by Bintai in
the Company.

Rationale for the Restructuring Agreement

As the principal activities of the Company involve the provision
of civil and specialist geotechnical and structural engineering
works, project management, property development and investment,
the fabrication and engineering services for the oil and gas
industry, the Board of Directors consider that there is synergy
and strategic value in the investments by Bintai in L&M pursuant
to the Restructuring Agreements. The repayment of the Loan by
Bintai and the Soeryadjaya Family coupled with the put and call
option given by the Soeryadjaya Family to the Bank may result in
L&M discharging the Loan in its entirety thus improving
substantially the cash flow and financial position of the
Company.

Terms of the Restructuring Agreements

Under the Restructuring Agreements, the following are
contemplated (subject to the agreement of the Bank):

(1) Part of the Loan amounting approximately to a sum of S$53.5
million will be purchased by Bintai and the Soeryadjaya Family
by the payment in cash of an aggregate sum of S$25 million.
Bintai will contribute S$15 million and the Soeryadjaya Family
will contribute S$10 million towards this cash payment of S$25
million in exchange for approximately S$28.46 million and
S$25.04 million of the S$53.5 million loan respectively.

(2) The Soeryadjaya Family would then in turn sell S$6.07
million of its S$25.04 million loan to the Enterprise for a
nominal consideration of S$1.00. This is in consideration of
Enterprise bringing the Soeryadjaya Family and Bintai together
for this transaction.

(3) The remaining Loan of S$30 million will be restructured
through the issuance by the Company of a 5-year secured
convertible bond having a principal amount of S$30 million (the
Convertible Bonds). The Convertible Bonds will carry annual
interests payable in arrears at rates to be determined and are
convertible (at the discretion of the holder) into new shares in
the Company at any time after the date of its issue and during
its life at a conversion price of S$0.112 for each new share in
the Company.

(4) The Bank will also be granted a put option in respect of the
Convertible Bonds ("the Put Option") by the Soeryadjaya Family,
and the Soeryadjaya Family will in turn be granted a call option
in respect of the Convertible Bonds ("the Call Option") by the
Bank. Under the Put Option, the Bank will have the right to
require the Soeryadjaya Family to purchase up to S$28 million of
the S$30 million in principal amount of the Convertible Bonds
(the S$28 million Convertible Bonds) and pursuant to the Call
Option, the Soeryadjaya Family will have the right to purchase
from the Bank the S$28 million Convertible Bonds, according to a
prescribed schedule, for a cash consideration of S$2.00 (plus
interest) for each S$1.00 in principal amount of the Convertible
Bonds.

(5) Bintai, the Soeryadjaya Family and the Enterprise will
extinguish the S$53.5 million loan assigned to them in
consideration for the issuance at par of new ordinary shares of
S$0.10 each in the capital of L&M and warrants carrying the
right to subscribe for new L&M shares. A total of 282 million
new shares in L&M will be issued in the proportion of 150
million new L&M shares to Bintai, 100 million new L&M shares to
the Soeryadjaya Family and 32 million to the Enterprise.

A total of 300 million warrants (the Warrants) which carry a
right to subscribe for 300 million new L&M shares at the
exercise price of S$0.10 per new L&M share will be issued by the
Company. Of these 300 million Warrants, 200 million of the
Warrants will be issued to Bintai and 100 million of the
Warrants will be issued to the Soeryadjaya Family. The Warrants
are exercisable over a 5-year period but only in the event that
the weighted average price of the L&M shares trading on the SGX-
ST over the 10 market days preceding the date of the exercise of
the Warrants is S$0.20 or higher.

(6) In addition, Bintai will subscribe for a further 50 million
new L&M shares at par for cash. This cash will be used for the
working capital purposes of the Company.

(7) The transactions also contemplate the issuance of up to 115
million new L&M shares pursuant to a placement for cash or to
unsecured creditors to settle the outstanding debts of the
Company owing to such creditors. This issuance of 115 million
new L&M shares and the other shares to Bintai and the
Soeryadjaya Family does not take into account the issuance of
approximately 200 million new L&M shares which will be issued by
the Company in the event that both the acquisition of pipeline
projects as announced by the Company on 30 July 2001 and 22
November 2001 are completed (the Pipeline Projects).

(8) The Bank will be requested to grant (i) a first right of
refusal in respect of the Convertible Bonds issued to and held
by it, in favor of the Soeryadjaya Family, and (ii) a second
right of refusal in favor of Bintai, in the event that it
proposes to sell, dispose of or convert (for onward sale) any of
the Convertible Bonds held by it.

(9). (a) The Soeryadjaya Family undertakes to Bintai that prior
to the 2nd anniversary of the date of issue of the Convertible
Bonds, it will not exercise the conversion rights of the bonds
held by it (pursuant to the exercise of the Put Option or the
Call Option, as the case may be) to the extent that such
conversion would result in Bintai's shareholdings in L&M falls
below 20% of L&M's share capital from time to time. By holding
at least 20% of L&M's issued share capital, Bintai would be able
to equity account the results of L&M in its accounts for at
least the first 2 years after its acquisition of the 200 million
L&M shares.

(b) The Soeryadjaya Family further undertakes to grant a first
right of refusal in favor of Bintai in respect of the L&M
shares, the Convertible Bonds and Warrants held by it in the
event it proposes to sell or dispose of any such L&M shares,
Convertible Bonds or Warrants.

the following:

(1) The agreement of the Bank to the terms of the debt
restructuring;

(2) The approval in-principle of the Singapore Exchange Trading

the relevant rulings being obtained from the Securities Industry
Council for a waiver of the obligation of Bintai and parties
acting in concert with it to make a mandatory take-over offer
for L&M arising from the acquisition of L&M shares under the
Restructuring Agreements, on such terms as shall be acceptable
to Bintai;

(3) Bintai having undertaken, completed and been satisfied with
its due diligence investigations in respect of the L&M Group;

(4) The approval of the shareholders of L&M at an extraordinary
general meeting(s) to be convened to approve, inter alia,;-

(i) the approval in-principle of the SGX-ST for the listing and
quotation of up to 1014.858 million new L&M shares on the SGX-ST
to be issued pursuant to the Restructuring Agreements (including
new L&M shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the
Warrants, the conversion of the Convertible Bonds, and any
placement of L&M shares for cash or to the unsecured creditors
of the L&M Group to settle the debts owing to such creditors but
not including the issuance of approximately 200 million new L&M
shares for the Pipeline Projects);

(ii) the issue of the Warrants; and

(iii) a general mandate on terms and conditions reasonably
acceptable to Bintai for the L&M Group to enter into joint
ventures and other transactions with Bintai and its
subsidiaries;

(5) Bintai having entered into joint venture agreements or
transactions relating to certain identified projects with L&M or
members of the L&M Group on terms and conditions acceptable to
Bintai;

(6) Bintai being satisfied that the shares in L&M will remain

on the SGX-ST not being suspended at any time after the
execution of the relevant restructuring agreements for more than
5 days for whatever reasons;

(7) Banking facilities of S$10 million for working capital
purposes being extended to L&M by the Bank;

(8) Bintai having undertaken, completed and been satisfied with
the due diligence investigations in respect of the Pipeline
Projects. The Restructuring Agreements are not however
conditional upon the completion of the acquisition of the
Pipeline Projects; and

(9) All consents and approvals which Bintai may deem necessary
to be obtained for and in connection with the Restructuring
Agreements having been obtained, including consents and
approvals from the relevant authorities (including the
Securities Commission, the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange and Bank
Negara, Malaysia), the shareholders of Bintai in general
meeting, and any other third party (including the Bank), and
such consents remaining in full force and effect and not being
revoked.

Financial Impact

The financial impact of the Restructuring Agreements upon the
completion of the Restructuring Agreements (assuming that
Warrants are exercised, the Convertible Bonds are converted, and
the proposed placement of shares in L&M is completed, but not
including the Pipeline Projects) would result in the net
tangible asset of L&M increasing from S$59.4 million to S$196.3
million and the net tangible asset per share being reduced from
S$0.26 to S$0.16 per share.

The Restructuring Agreements would also result in the loss per
share being reduced from S$0.15 to S$0.02 per share, had the
Restructuring Agreements been completed on 1 January 2000, the
first day of the last audited accounts. Upon completion, the
gearing ratio of the Company (being the ratio of the total
borrowings to shareholders' funds) will be decreased from 165
percent to 0.

Impact on Share capital

The number of issued and paid-up shares in the Company upon
completion of the Restructuring Agreements (assuming that
Warrants are exercised, the Convertible Bonds are converted, and
the proposed placement of shares in L&M is completed, but not
including the Pipeline Projects) would be increased from the
current 222.18 million to 1,237.03 million shares. The
shareholding of the Soeryadjaya Family and parties acting in
concert would be increased from approximately 15 percent of the
share capital of the Company to approximately 36 percent of the
enlarged share capital of the Company.

If this were to occur, the Soeryadjaya Family would be making a
mandatory general takeover of the Company at the highest price
paid by the Soeryadjaya Family for L&M shares in the last 12
months. Bintai would become a substantial shareholder of the
Company with a shareholding of 32.33 percent of the enlarged
share capital of the Company.
