NATIONAL AUSTRALIA: Wants Michael Chaney Onboard
------------------------------------------------
Wesfarmers Ltd. CEO Michael Chaney plans to join the board of
National Australia Bank Ltd. (NAB) and eventually replace Graham
Kraehe as Chairman in 2005, Dow Jones said Monday.

Mr. Chaney, who is planning to leave Wesfarmers next month, has
held several meetings with parties associated with the NAB board
in recent weeks.  Mr. Chaney has been a member of BHP Billiton's
board (BHP) since 2001.  According to the Australian Financial
Review, Mr. Chaney is NAB's preferred choice for one of two
soon-to-be-vacated positions and also a favorite of key
shareholders.

NAB is desperately in need of a facelift following the AU$360
million foreign currency scandal, which broke out early this
year.  The same scandal led to the departure of eight senior
executives, including former CEO Frank Cicutto and Director
Catherine Walter.


NATIONAL AUSTRALIA: Board Holds Four-day Strategy Talks
-------------------------------------------------------
The board of National Australia Bank (NAB) met yesterday at the
bank's Wood Street headquarters for a four-day caucus to review
current operations.

Expected to take up the board's time are the woes currently
hounding the bank's European operations and ongoing efforts to
gain a foothold in southeast England, the West Australian says.

The bank's Financial Services Europe, which employs more than
11,000 staff and has about 3.5 million customers, operates the
Clydesdale Bank in Scotland, Yorkshire Bank in Northern England,
Northern Bank in Northern Ireland and National Irish Bank in the
Republic of Ireland.


NOVUS PETROLEUM: Agrees to Acquire Novus Indonesian Assets
----------------------------------------------------------
Santos Limited announced Monday that, given Sunov's decision not
to proceed with its bid for Novus Petroleum Limited (Novus),
Santos has agreed with PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk (Medco)
to acquire part of Novus' Indonesian interests and all of Novus'
Cooper Basin interests, Santos Ltd. reported on its Web site.

Sunov Bid

Sunov has announced that it has decided that it will not be
increasing or extending its offer for Novus. Given this
development, Santos' arrangements with Sunov, regarding the
conditional acquisition of certain Novus assets, have
terminated.

Santos' Agreement with Medco

Santos has now agreed to acquire, subject to certain conditions,
an 18% interest in the Brantas Production Sharing Contract
(PSC), a 9% interest in the Kakap PSC, both in Indonesia, and
Novus' interests in the Cooper Basin. The total cash
consideration is US$110 million, adjusted for an effective date
of 1 January 2004, plus contingent consideration linked to
reserves upside in the Wunut field, which is capped at US$3.5
million. The acquisitions are subject to negotiation and
execution of formal detailed documentation with Medco and will
be conditional upon certain matters including the outcome of the
Medco offer for Novus.

Santos' Managing Director, Mr John Ellice-Flint, said, "The
arrangements with Medco create an opportunity for Santos to
reinforce its commitment to and relationships in Indonesia and
supplement our portfolio with attractive assets which match our
strategy and will be both earnings and cash-flow accretive to
Santos."

BACKGROUND

Indonesian Assets

Novus has a 25% interest in the Kakap PSC (operated by Star
Energy) and a 50% interest in the Brantas PSC (operated by
Lapindo).

Kakap

The Kakap PSC is primarily a gas field, with some oil and
condensate, located in the West Natuna Sea Basin, approximately
1,000 km north of Java. It consists of two separate areas: South
Kakap, which contains all the producing fields, and the much
larger North Kakap.

The first production was from the KH field in 1986.

Gas is delivered to Singapore under a 27-year gas sales
agreement (commencing March 2001) to SembGas, a Singaporean gas
distributor. Gas is sold in US dollars. The gas price is indexed
to oil prices (High Sulphur Fuel Oil).

Brantas

The Brantas PSC covers an area of approximately 3,000 square
kilometres in onshore East Java and offshore Madura Strait,
between East Java and Madura Island.

Santos already has interests in the Sampang and Madura Offshore
PSCs in this region and has made the Oyong and Maleo
discoveries, which are currently being commercialised.

Production is from the Wunut gas field in the central part of
the block, located 30 kilometres south of Surabaya. The Wunut
field was discovered in 1994 and has been producing since 1999.

Gas is sold to PGN, the Indonesian natural gas distributor, for
the supply of up to 80 million cubic feet of gas per day on a
reasonable endeavours basis through to the end of 2007.

The block is also considered to have exploration potential.

Cooper Basin

Novus has a 4.75% interest in the SA Unit (Santos 59.8% and
operator) and a 2.97% interest in the Patchawarra East  Block
(Santos 69.4%).

Reserves and Production

Santos estimates that, on a net entitlement basis, 2004
production for the Indonesian and Cooper Basin interests will be
approximately 2 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe). On
the same basis, total proved and probable reserves as at 1
January 2004 are estimated to be approximately 22 mmboe,
primarily gas.

ZHU KUAN: Collapses Under Weight of HK$7 Billion Debt
-----------------------------------------------------
The overseas investment unit of Zhuhai, a town in southern
China, was declared bankrupt by a Macau Court Thursday last
week, Singapore Business Times said.

The Court of First Instance handed the decision against Zhu Kuan
Group, citing its HK$7 billion (S$1.54 billion) accumulated debt
to at least 40 creditors.  According to Standard Chartered
lawyer Jorge Neto Valente, the company has ten days to file an
appeal to Macau's Court of Second Instance.  As of Saturday, the
firm had not done so, Mr. Valente told the paper.

Standard Chartered leads the core of creditors -- which include
BOC Hong Kong, Bank of America and Industrial & Commercial Bank
of China -- seeking Zhu Kuan's liquidation.  The paper said the
liquidation could carry on even pending an appeal by the
company.  The court has already ceased valuable properties and
shares of Zhu Kuan in other companies.

Zhu Kuan's insolvency is one of the largest corporate failures
involving a government-backed investment arm since Guangdong
International Trust & Investment Corp. went belly up in 1999.
The company reached the pinnacle of success in the 1990s when
international investments poured into China.  Aside from its
investments in hotels, bridges, tourism and water parks, the
company tapped international credit markets and issued China's
first junk bonds.  Things went awry during the 1997-1998 Asian
financial crisis and soon the company slipped into a debt pit
that proved too deep to scale.

PERTAMINA: Joins Forces With PLN To Build US$250M LNG Terminal
--------------------------------------------------------------
In order to supply gas in great volume to a number of power-
generating plants across Indonesia by 2005, state oil company
Pertamina signed a cooperation agreement with state electricity
company PLN, Asia Pulse said.

Under the agreement, the two will put up a liquefied natural gas
(LNG) terminal in Banten province's district of Cilegon.  PLN
president director Eddie Widiono said the investment, amounting
to US$250 million to US$300 million, would cover LNG supplies,
the terminal's construction and operation, and marketing.


PRUDENTIAL LIFE: Boasts of 3,000 New Applications Worth Rp29B
-------------------------------------------------------------
After having been declared bankrupt by the Jakarta Commercial
Court in April, Insurance firm PT Prudential Life Assurance
maintains that it is still winning customers, The Jakarta Post
said Saturday.

The local branch of U.K.-based Prudential Plc was declared
bankrupt by an Indonesian commercial court on April 23 after a
former agent demanded Rp366 billion in unpaid bonuses and other
compensation.  But instead of losing customers, the local unit
received 3,000 new applications between April 30 and May 31, the
report said.  These applications are worth Rp29 billion, a
respectable amount considering that prior to the bankruptcy
ruling the insurance firm underwrote an average of Rp50 billion
worth of policies a month.  The number of new applicants exceeds
the 40 policyholders who wish to end their subscriptions worth
about Rp1 billion, Prudential's financial controller Simon
Imanto adds.

"But we're still trying to hold them back.  Even if they
continue with their decisions, we'll try to persuade them again
(not to quit) should we win our appeal," Mr. Simon said,
referring to the appeal now pending before the Supreme Court.  A
decision is expected shortly.

He said Prudential is committed to honoring outstanding
policies.  In fact, the company continues to process all pending
claims, including eight death claims worth Rp1.6 billion and 400
other claims worth Rp2.2 billion.

Prudential agency manager T.J. Timotius told the Post all of the
firm's agents have been completely open with existing and new
policyholders about the situation.  They even managed to
convince members that the company is financially sound and that
the fiasco is due to "a flaw in Indonesia's legal system."

The firm's total premium income last year reached Rp1 trillion,
compared to Rp477 billion in 2002.

In a statement, Prudential president director Charlie Oropeza
declared that the company is financially stable and that they
are expecting "a fair and objective decision" by the Supreme
Court that would allow them to continue operating in the
country.

ALL NIPPON: Prepares to Set Up New Low-Cost Subsidiary
------------------------------------------------------
To compete more effectively on shorter routes with rivals such
as Japan Airlines System Corp., All Nippon Airways Co. (ANA) is
planning to set up a low-cost subsidiary that would fly Boeing
737 planes, according to Bloomberg News, citing ANA President
Yoji Ohashi.

The new unit will save costs from using a fleet comprising a
single aircraft type and will have lower personnel costs than
All Nippon Airways, Ohashi said.

Kyodo News Service reported in April that All Nippon plans to
set up a discount carrier this year to fly between regional
airports in Japan. The unit will probably be based in Fukuoka,
the report said, citing unidentified company executives.


APLUS CO.: UFJ Group in Talks to Sell Ailing Affiliate
------------------------------------------------------
The UFJ group is in the final stages of talks with five foreign
financial groups, including Citigroup Inc. of the U.S. and HSBC
of the U.K., to sell struggling consumer finance affiliate Aplus
Co. to one of them for JPY100 billion (US$900 million), reports
Reuters, citing the Nihon Keizai Shimbun.

The major banking group, led by UFJ Holdings Inc, aims to narrow
down the prospective buyers to two or three firms by the end of
the month, and decide on the sale around mid-July. Citigroup is
seen as the most likely purchaser, but HSBC and GE Capital of

HOKKAIDO INTERNATIONAL: Posts First-ever Pretax Profit
------------------------------------------------------
Hokkaido International Airlines Co. incurred its first-ever
pretax profit of JPY1.4 billion in the year to March 31 since it
was founded in November 1996, Kyodo News reported on Saturday.

HOTEL SHIKISAI: IRCJ to Aid Regional Hotel
------------------------------------------
The Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan (IRCJ) will
extend its assistance to Hotel Shikisai, a medium-sized hotel in
a popular hot spring resort in Tochigi Prefecture, the Jiji
Press reveals.

According to the IRCJ, Hotel Shikisai could turn its performance
around if the government body helps the hotel slash debts
accumulated during the years of the asset-inflated bubble
economy in Japan.

The hotel has been having difficulties raising funds following
the bankruptcy of Ashikaga Bank, a regional bank based in
Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture. The bank had been the hotel's
main source of aid before it entered bankruptcy in November
2003.

For the year ended November 2003, Hotel Shikisai reported a net
loss of some JPY50 million, on sales of some JPY500 million.

reports, citing the Sankei Shimbun.

Although the struggling drug and textile maker is still unclear
whether it can find buyers for the businesses it plans to pull
out from, Kanebo expects to turn to profitability on an
operating basis this fiscal year and post JPY2 billion operating
profit.


MITSUBISHI MOTORS: Goes Ahead With US$500M Thai Expansion
---------------------------------------------------------
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) will continue its half-
billion-dollar expansion plan in export hub Thailand despite a
financial crisis and fresh recall scandals, AFX Asia relates,
citing a report by the Nation newspaper.

Mitsubishi Motors Thailand (MMTh) reportedly said the 21 billion
baht pledged for investment in its Thai operations and
production facility would help maintain its position as the
country's top auto exporter and give it a 10 percent domestic
market share.

"The investment is well underway and being carried out in
stages," the newspaper quoted MMTh President and Chief Executive
Hisayoshi Kumai as saying. "MMTh is Thailand's number one
exporter of automobiles and our Laem Chabang plant (southeast of
Bangkok) is running at full capacity," he added.

Mitsubishi manufactured at least 114,000 vehicles in Thailand
last year, including 82,000 produced for export to 146
countries.

It has no plans of employee cuts in Thailand, the newspaper
said, citing Kumai as saying that a recent massive financial
injection for Mitsubishi could carry the Thai investment.


MITSUBISHI MOTORS: Colt Stays Out of Top 30
-------------------------------------------
Apparently due to the tainted image of the Mitsubishi brand, the
Colt line of vehicles of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC)
remained off the list of the 30 top-selling cars in May for the
second consecutive month, said the Japan Automobile Dealers
Association Friday, The Japan Time reports.

Sales of the Colt, which used to be one of the most popular cars
in Japan, plunged 58.3 percent in May from a year earlier, with
1,275 fewer vehicles sold. MMC and group subsidiary Mitsubishi
Fuso Truck & Bus Corporation have been under fire for cover-ups
of defective parts.

Jones, citing a filing by Hyundai Autonet with the Financial
Supervisory Service.

block sale.

The Company aims to dispose of its stake in non-related
companies to raise funds to pay down debt as part of a

MANILA ELECTRIC: Maturing Debts Cause Refund Delay
--------------------------------------------------
Because of a PhP4.4 billion debt due on the third week of this
month, Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) has to make adjustments in
the schedule of a refund due to large residential customers,
BusinessWorld reports citing Leo Mabale, the power distribution
firm's Refund Management Task Force head.

The original schedule for the refund of large residential
customers that use 600 kilowatt-hours or more based on their
April 2003 billing was supposed to be this month of June, but
due to cash flow problems, it can only implement the refund to
residential customers that use 510 kilowatt-hours as of their
April 2003 billing, Mr. Mabale said.

The adjustment in the scheduling has to be made in order to
service the refund, or Meralco may not be able to implement the
refunds at all.

Meralco is trying to speed up the refund by July and August so
that they will be able to follow the original schedule by
September.

Meralco has until the end of this year to service the third
phase, which is expected to cost PhP4.5 billion. As of April,
the company has refunded some PhP7 billion. If the refunds that
are currently being processed were included, the refunds would
hit PhP8 billion.


PHILIPPINE LONG: Projects PhP10.5B-Profit in 1H Through Smart
-------------------------------------------------------------
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) may be able to
post a first-half net income of PhP10.5 billion due to the
continued growth of its wireless subsidiary Smart Communications
Inc., BusinessWorld reports, citing PLDT Chairman Manuel V.
Pangilinan.

Smart's additional 1.1 million subscribers in the first quarter
have brought the number of PLDT Group subscribers to a total of
14.4 million. The use of mobile phones, especially during the
election period, has propped up PLDT's performance.

The introduction of lower denomination reloads (Pasa Load and
Smart Load) contributed to Smart's strong revenue growths. The
"Pasa Load" system allows the subscribers to pass on credits as
low as PhP2.00 to other Smart or Talk 'N Text subscribers while
the Smart Load scheme enables a subscriber to reload for as low
as PhP30.

Mr. Pangilinan has earlier said that Smart's revenues now
account for about 55 percent of PLDT Group's total revenues.
Thus, he said, PLDT parent First Pacific Corp. is now
considering making Smart the parent firm of PLDT.

PLDT, with its 16 million mobile phone subscribers to date,
accounts for about 58% of the mobile phone market through
wholly-owned unit Smart and 45%-owned Pilipino Telephone Corp.
(Piltel), while rival Globe Telecom Inc. commands 40 percent.

Tuesday's edition of the TCR-Asia Pacific delivers a list of
indicative prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well
below par.  Prices are obtained by TCR-AP editors from a
Variety of outside sources during the prior week we think are
reliable.  Those sources may not, however, be complete or
accurate.  The Tuesday Bond Pricing table is compiled on the
Saturday prior to publication.  Prices reported are not intended
to reflect actual trades.  Prices for actual trades are probably
different.  Our objective is to share information, not make
markets in publicly traded securities. Nothing in the TCR-AP
constitutes an offer Or solicitation to buy or sell any security
of any kind.  It is likely that some entity affiliated with a
TCR editor holds some position in the issuers' public debt and
equity securities about which we report.
