ONE.TEL LIMITED: Court Orders Chair to Pay AU$20Mln
---------------------------------------------------
Mr. Jeffrey Lucy, Chairman of the Australian Securities and
Investments Commission (ASIC), announced on September 6 that
ASIC has reached an agreement with Mr. John Greaves, a former
non-executive director and chairman of One.Tel Limited
(One.Tel), in the Supreme Court proceedings against him.

Mr. Greaves is one of four defendants in the proceedings brought
by ASIC following the collapse of One.Tel in May 2001. The other
defendants are Mr. Jodee Rich, Mr. Mark Silbermann and Mr.
Bradley Keeling. Mr. Keeling settled ASIC's civil claim against
him in March 2003.

Previously, Mr. Greaves had sought to strike out the claim
brought against him by ASIC on the basis that the duties of a
chairman were not, at law, as extensive as ASIC wished to
establish. In February 2003, Justice Austin ruled against Mr.
Greaves on this point.

Under the agreement with ASIC, Mr. Greaves has admitted to
contraventions of the Corporations Law between January 2001 and
30 March 2001 in relation to the discharge of his duties as a
non-executive director and the chairman of One.Tel.

Pursuant to the agreement, ASIC and Mr. Greaves made joint
submissions to Mr. Justice White at hearings on Tuesday, August
31 and Thursday, September 2. As a result of the hearings and
submissions, Mr. Justice White made orders that Mr. Greaves:

- be prohibited from managing a corporation for a period 4
years;
- be found liable for the compensation of $20 million to
One.Tel; and
- be ordered to pay ASIC's costs of $350,000.

As part of the terms of agreement, Mr Greaves admits that during
the period January 2001 to 30 March 2001, he failed to take the
steps that he should have in order to ensure that he and the
board of One.Tel properly monitored management and were aware of
the true financial position of the company.

It has never been part of ASIC's case that Mr. Greaves acted in
any way dishonestly in relation to the performance of his roles
at One.Tel.

ASIC will not be commenting further on this matter.

ASIC's proceedings against Mr. Rich and Mr. Silbermann are
continuing.

This ASIC announcement is dated September 6, 2004.

QANTAS AIRWAYS: Extends Jobs Deadline for UK base
-------------------------------------------------
Qantas Airways extended its deadline for flight attendant
applications at its London Crew base, raising speculations that
the airline is struggling to find Australians to fill the 400
vacancies, relates The Age.

Qantas declared it is giving its Australia-based crews a "little
bit of extra time" to consider the offer.

Just two weeks after Qantas said 90 to 100 crew had applied for
the London-based jobs, head of customer services, Lesley Grant,
said: "There are still a few steps to go. The base doesn't start
operating until mid-2005, but we are pleased with the progress."

Qantas declared it will hire British residents to fill any
shortfall.

The troubled airline company has faced union opposition on its
proposal to move jobs offshore. The union has, likewise, accused
Qantas of provoking an industrial situation by launching a
training program for its non-flying employees.

Members of the union convened in July and unanimously endorsed a
strike over Christmas and New Year if Qantas will not give them
job guarantees.

The union, however, said it is willing to conduct negotiations
with the airline in the hope of preventing a strike.

SONS OF GWALIA: Knew of Gold Shortfall
--------------------------------------
Sons of Gwalia conceded that it has received an initial internal
review more than a month before it moved into voluntary
administration, reports The Age.

The admission came as investors were considering a possible
multimillion-dollar claim for share market losses, which
resulted to the failed miner's AU$800 million downfall and
suspension from trade.

As a response to a query by the Australian Stock Exchange,
Gwalia announced a preliminary resources review was submitted to
the board on July 22, five weeks before it went into
administration on August 29.

Gwalia confessed it was aware of the possibility of "a material
deterioration" of reserves and resources, but that it needed to
undertake further work in order to modify its resource base.

Moreover, the collapsed miner admitted it had conducted talks
with creditors and hedging banks to request for an "enforcement
standstill" of its financial commitments for six months.

The Company, however, said it was not aware that its lenders
would deem the reserves shortfall as a "material adverse change"
in its financial status until August 28, a day before the
appointment of administrators.

A spokesman for the stock exchange commented that Gwalia's
statement could necessitate a possible legal action by investors
who bought shares before the company's downfall, dating back to
October 2003.

ASIA PULP: Delays Vote on US$6.7Bln Debt Deal Again
---------------------------------------------------
Asia Pulp and Paper has again postponed a vote by overseas
bondholders on a US$6.7 billion debt restructuring of its
Indonesian subsidiaries, relates Financial Times.

APP, owned by Indonesia's Widjaja family, opted to delay the
vote as major bondholders criticize the terms of an interest
payment.

On June 30, APP presented its bondholders a proposal to allow
the paper producer to issue three new batches of bonds that
would not be repayable for up to 22 years. However, APP pushed
back an initial July 29 deadline after bondholders questioned
the formula on bond allocations, claiming that it was
detrimental to their interests.

A letter sent to the bondholders last week confirmed that the
formula issue has been resolved and that a new September 17
deadline for the vote has been set.

Under the proposed agreement, bondholders who signed on to the
restructuring before the initial July 29 deadline are to be paid
interest on the new bonds in cash, while those who signed up
later will receive payment in newly issued bonds.

Some bondholders vowed to vote against the proposed agreement
unless they are paid interest in cash, costing the company
around US$60 million dollars.

APP, the largest corporate defaulter in emerging markets
history, has yet to decide on the matter.

BANK PERMATA: PPA Head Content with Sale Process
------------------------------------------------
PT Asset Sales Agency (PPA) President Director Mohammad Syahrial
brushed off concerns regarding the participation of Bank
Permata's former owner in the bank's divestment through PT Astra
International, Asia Pulse says.

According to Mr. Syahrial, businessmen Usman Atmajaya, Bob Hasan
and Prajoga used to control Astra before they handed over their
shares to the now-defunct Indonesian Banking Restructuring
Agency (IBRA). IBRA later disposed of Astra's shares.

Speculations that Astra's return might adversely affect
Permata's divestment price were raised by one of the bank's
founders, Bank Universal, which was part of Astra International
Group in the past.

Mr. Syahrial, however, gave assurance that there is nothing to
worry about.

Just recently, PPA named Singapore's United Overseas Bank (UOB),

* Toshiba, NEC, Fujitsu Agree on Specifications for PSRAM
---------------------------------------------------------
Toshiba Corporation, NEC Electronics Corporation, and Fujitsu
Limited today announced in a press release dated September 6
that they have agreed on standard interface specifications for
Pseudo Static Random Access Memory (PSRAM) (*1) with burst mode.

Based on the specifications, known as COSMORAM (Common
Specifications for Mobile RAM) Rev. 3, each of the three
companies will independently begin production and sales of PSRAM
devices, with products scheduled to be available from each
company starting March 2005.

The three companies promulgated common specifications in
September 1998 for stacked multi-chip packages (MCPs), which
include both Flash memory and SRAM. The companies jointly
announced common interface specifications for page mode PSRAM
and stacked MCPs in March 2002, and for burst mode PSRAM and
stacked MCPs in February 2003. As a result of these agreements
the three companies share interface specification compatibility
for PSRAM featuring high-speeds and for which higher densities
can be easily achieved, thereby enabling customers to
efficiently use the companies' PSRAMs.

Building on these past agreements, the companies have now
standardized additional specifications for burst mode PSRAM that
ensure continued compatibility with existing products while
enabling higher performance and convenience, making COSMORAM
Rev.3 ideal for future mobiles phones and PDAs which require
greater high-speed processing of information.

Customers can continue to standardize design formats hereafter
as with past COSMORAM specifications for PSRAM, eliminating the
need to customize product designs. The advantage will help
shorten the design cycle and dramatically improve design
efficiency for customers. In addition, since the three companies
are using common specifications, they can also act as
alternative sources for each other, helping to ensure a stable
market supply of PSRAMs.

Key additional COSMORAM specifications that were standardized
are as follows:

(1) Expansion of data bus width

(2) Multiplexing of address data

(3) Truth Table (*2)

(4) Mode Register (*3) option added

(5) Choice of output driver size

(6) Mode Register read-out function

Glossary

(1) Pseudo SRAM (PSRAM):
A RAM device that achieves high density and inexpensive cost
structure, by using a DRAM cell array. The interface of PSRAMs
is basically compatible to Low Power asynchronous SRAMs,
enabling customers to design systems with ease. PSRAM is an
ideal memory solution as an alternative to SRAM for mobile
handsets, which are becoming increasingly feature-rich at a
rapid pace, thereby requiring higher memory density and higher
performance.

(2) Truth Table:
A table defining how a device's operations mode correlates to
the external signals used to set that mode.

(3) Mode Register:
An internal register that stores the control code used to govern
the device's operating mode, set externally.

DAEWOO HEAVY: Workforce To Bid For Own Firm To Save Jobs
--------------------------------------------------------
In line with their job-preservation efforts, the workers of
Daewoo Heavy Industries & Machinery Ltd. are set to sign this
week a memorandum of understanding with a consortium formed by
Park Byeong-yeop, vice chairman and the largest shareholder of
Pantech & Curitel Communication Co., to bid for a stake in the
construction equipment manufacturer, reports The Korea Herald.

"Although we cannot say the exact date, the signing will be
within this week. With the partners, we will submit a letter of
the intent by Sept. 14 to buy (a stake in) our company," said
Kim Youn-hwan, leader of one of the two worker groups signing
the MOU.

According to the employees, Mr. Park's show of respect for job
security in Pantech has prompted them to take on the executive's
group as partners for the bid.

The worker groups, which consist of a labor union and an office
workers' organization, are planning to raise about KRW160
billion among the workers and other investors to fund their bid,
the representatives said. They added that the workers are hoping
to buy a 10 to 15-percent stake in the company and establish a
committee with management to discuss job-related issues, and
that about 81 percent of the Daewoo workers have approved the
plan.

The South Korean government acquired about 50 percent of Daewoo
Heavy, the nation's largest maker of construction equipment,
following the collapse of parent firm Daewoo Group under heavy
debts in 1999.

KOREA LINE: To Float Convertible Bonds
--------------------------------------
In a move seen as an effort to ward off a hostile takeover,
South Korean shipping firm Korea Line Corp. has decided on
Monday to issue convertible bonds worth KRW20 billion (US$17.3
million), reports Yonhap News.

The shipping firm stated in a public disclosure that proceeds of
the bond issue, which will be underwritten by main creditor Hana
Bank, will be used to pay back maturing debts and tapped as
working capital.

"About 17 billion won worth of bonds will mature by the end of
this year, with an additional 7 billion won coming due in
January next year," a company official said.

Korea Line said Hana Bank will be allowed to convert the
bonds into equity starting September 6 next year. Based on
Monday's closing price, the convertible bonds amounted to a
4.99-percent stake.

The bond issue comes after Norwegian shipping company Golar LNG
Ltd. hinted early this month at offering an unsolicited bid for
Korea Line.

Golar LNG owns 21.1 per cent of Korea Line, while Fearnley Fonds
ASA Securities and Fidelity Fund own 6.3 per cent and 5.7
percent, respectively, bringing its total friendly stake to 33.1
percent.

THRUNET: KT Corp. Pulls Out of Bidding Race
-------------------------------------------
KT Corp. said on Tuesday that it has decided not to join the bid
for broadband Internet service operator Thrunet Co., reveals
Reuters, citing KT's executive vice president Yoon Jong-lok.

According to the executive, KT is now instead planning to
upgrade its entire Internet network to be based on optical fiber
from cable to offer faster and better quality services.

"We believe more investment in the network upgrade will better
position KT to fend off competition and secure our leading
market position," he said.

KT, South Korea's top fixed-line and broadband service operator,
carries 95 percent of South Korea's local voice calls and
supplies half of its broadband connections.

Thrunet, which sought court protection from creditors last
March, is set to be sold by its creditors later this year. Since
the court protection was approved, Thrunet has been a possible
buyout target for other telecommunications firms such as Hanaro
Telecom Inc. and Dacom Corp.

* Credit Card Firms Narrow H1 Losses
------------------------------------
The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) said on Monday that
South Korea's six credit card companies have reported a combined
net loss of KRW1.5 trillion in the first half, a 26.9-percent
drop from the KRW2.1-trillion loss the companies sustained in
the same period last year, reports The Korea Times.

The regulator said the credit card issuers also reported a
decline in default rates. The average default ratio of the six
card firms for payments overdue by more than one month declined
from 13.6 percent at the end of last year to 10.84 percent as of
the end of June.

Of the six companies, only Lotte Card and BC Card reported a
profit for the period. BC Card posted a net income of KRW6.9
billion, while Lotte Card's first-half net profit stood at KRW15
billion.

In contrast, LG Card suffered a net loss of KRW360 billion,
Hyundai Card booked a KRW176.7-billion net loss and Samsung Card
reported the largest loss of KRW994.6 billion.

"Samsung Card and Hyundai Card set aside large loan loss
provisions from the capital increase to cover for their bad
assets. LG Card also suffered losses due to provisioning costs,"
the FSS said.

LG Card had the highest default ratio of 15.05 percent, followed
by Hyundai Card with 8.79 percent and Samsung Card with 8.58
percent. The delinquency rate, including debts converted into
loans, fell from 28.3 percent in December last year to 25.12
percent in June.

There was also a 7.2-percent decline in the number of cards
issued in the first half to 88.3 million, down from 95.2 million
at the end of 2003.

The firms also reported a 36.1-percent decline in revenue from
card transactions, dropping from KRW290.1 trillion to KRW185.4
trillion.

MANILA ELECTRIC: Files Phase IV Refund Proposal to ERC
------------------------------------------------------
In a press release dated September 6, the Manila Electric
Company announced that it filed Friday, September 3, before the
Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) its proposed guidelines and
procedure of its refund for Phase IV. Phase IV refund is for
commercial and industrial customers, including other non-
residential and general service customers. It is divided into
two phases.

"Phase IV-A covers small commercial and industrial customers,
flat streetlights and government hospitals and metered
streetlights with contracted demand of less the 40 kW. The
refund mode is fixed monthly credit to bill starting January
2005 up to December 2007.  The fixed amount, equivalent to the
customer's gross refund amount (GRA) divided by 36, will be
deducted from the customer's monthly bill for 36 months. This
translates to an average of 42 cents per kWh deduction in the
customers' monthly bill for the duration of the refund.  The
refund coverage, gross refund kWh and GRA will be reflected in
the customer's January 2005 bill," said Meralco Sr. Assistant
Vice President and Refund Management Task Force Head Leonardo
Mabale.

Mabale also said that for those with terminated contracts under
Phase IV-A, the proposal for the refund is to start in November
2007.  The refund mode is cash or check.

On the other hand, Mabale said that the refund for Phase IV-B,
or medium and up commercial and industrial customers and
government hospitals and metered streetlights with contracted
demand greater than or equal to 40 kW will commence in July
2005.  This was originally targeted to start in May 2005, but
because of the need to have more time to process the refund
notes, once it is approved by ERC, Meralco moved it back July
2005. Mabale appealed, "We hope the business groups understand
the situation".

The refund mode is fixed credit to bills, similar to customers
under Phase IV-A, except that the duration is 63 months starting
in July 2005 and ending in September 2010. This translates to an
average of 21 cents per kWh deduction in the customer's monthly
bill for 63 months.

Customers covered by Phase IV-B and not in arrears for 90 days
or more will be given the option to receive non-interest bearing
Refund Notes. The refund notes will mature every quarter for 21
quarters (equivalent to 63 months).  The customer may encash the
maturing portion (GRA divided by 21 quarters) of the Refund Note
at the end of every quarter from Meralco's paying agent.

The Refund Note has a liquidity feature that allows the customer
to generate additional funds to meet the current obligations or
expand business.  A customer can have his Refund Notes traded at
the Philippine Fixed Income Exchange or rediscounted at
commercial banks.

Those with terminated contracts under this group will have the
option to receive Refund Notes with the same features as those
offered to active services or to receive a refund check in
January 2008.

In a related development, Meralco Vice President for Corporate
Communication Elpi Cuna Jr. said, "As of the end of August,
Meralco has already processed the refunds to a total of 4.72
million customers or 91 percent of those entitled to the refund.
Phase III refund is still ongoing and is scheduled to be
completed by the end of this year".

MANILA ELECTRIC: Confirms Veracity of News Report
-------------------------------------------------
Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) disclosed to the Philippine Stock
Exchange a clarification to the news article entitled "Meralco
inks power supply deal with SunPower Phils" published in the
September 6, 2004 issue of The Philippine Star.

The article reported that "(t)he Manila Electric Co. (Meralco)
has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the sale of
electricity to the $300-million SunPower Philippines Inc., the
first solar wafer manufacturing plant in Laguna. The two firms
have sought the approval of the Energy Regulatory Commission
(ERC) for the supply agreement. Meralco and SunPower also asked
the regulatory body to issue provisional authority (PA) to
implement the MOU.

Manila Electric Company, in its letter to the exchange dated
September 6, 2004, stated:

"Meralco confirms the veracity of the news report, except the
amount '$300-million' pertaining to SunPower Phils., and with
the clarification that the application for approval of the
memorandum of understanding (MOU) referred to was filed by
Meralco".


MAYNILAD WATER: Must Submit Revised Rehab Proposal by Oct. 4
------------------------------------------------------------
The judge handling the rehabilitation case of Maynilad Water
Services Inc. has warned that if the Lopez-owned utility fails
to submit a fresh corporate recovery plan by October 4, the case
will be dismissed, reports Business World.

According to Quezon City Regional Trial Court Judge Reynaldo B.
Daway, court rules on rehabilitation provide that an acceptable
recovery blueprint must be submitted within 180 days from the
first hearing "otherwise the case will be automatically
dismissed".

Maynilad sought debt reprieve and rehabilitation in November,
while its creditors appeared in court for the first time on
January 7 this year.

Last month, Maynilad was given until Sept. 5 to present a new
strategy to return the company to financial profitability after
the state-run Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS)
decided to draw its entire US$120-million performance bond and
abandon the debt-to-equity swap agreement it earlier signed with
the water concessionaire.

Maynilad was supposed to file a new plan yesterday, but its
lawyers have sought a 90-day extension, citing, among others,
that there were still other Maynilad creditors who want to be
included as parties to the case.

The new recovery plan, which supplants the original strategy of
allowing the government to take over Maynilad, pave the way for
the exit of the Lopez Group from the corporation and converting
into long-term loans the firm's debts to several banks, must be
acceptable to at least majority of the creditors.

MWSS accounts for approximately 40% of Maynilad's PhP18-billion
unpaid debts, mostly in unpaid concession fees.


NATIONAL POWER: Rate Hike to Help Cut Public Sector Debt
--------------------------------------------------------
Despite the approval of only half of the rate increase it had
sought, National Power Corp.'s (Napocor) recently- approved
adjustments to its generation rates will still help reduce
public sector debt, currently at a deficit of more than P50
billion, The Manila Bulletin reveals

"Any increase in Napocor power rates would help its financial
position and therefore ease CPSD (consolidated public sector
deficit)," said a high-ranking Cabinet official on Monday.

The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) only approved a 98-
centavo per kilowatt-hour (PhP.9798/kWh) rate hike, half of the
PhP1.87/kWh Napocor originally asked for. According to the
Cabinet official, it would have been more profitable for Napocor
had the ERC adjusted its rates by PhP1.50/kWh, which would at
least raise its RORB (return on rate base) by two percent, which
would eliminate US$1 billion or more than PhP50 billion off
public debt. This amount is equivalent to one percent of CPSD.

"The break-even number is P1.45/kWh to P1.50/kWh but at least,
any increase will help Napocor and the government," the Cabinet
member added.

Napocor is the government's biggest debt/guarantee burden since
it is incapable of borrowing by itself. The National Government
has to step in to borrow from the international market. These
debts are not carried directly on the government's books but
immediately become due once the primary borrowing agency fails
to meet its obligations to creditors.

NATIONAL POWER: Seeks Payment of Government Agencies' PhP3B Debt
----------------------------------------------------------------
Three agencies of the Philippine government still owe National
Power Corp. (Napocor) some PhP3 billion in debt payments for
debt service advances it made for an infrastructure project,
Businessworld reports.

According to government documents, Napocor raised PhP3.05
billion for the construction of the San Roque multipurpose
project in behalf of the Departments of Agriculture (PhP2.073
billion), Environment and Natural Resources (PhP937.28 million)
and Public Works and Highways (PhP39.27 million).

Napocor agreed to raising the amount since it would be easier
for a government-owned and controlled corporation to disburse
funds compared to a government agency. The three agencies signed
a memorandum of agreement with Napocor, committing to
appropriate funds to pay the state utility firm gradually.

However, Napocor said it has yet to collect from the three
agencies even as they earlier committed to pay their
obligations.

The state power firm entered into a deal with the San Roque
Power Corp. in 1997 to build, operate and maintain the San Roque
dam, one of the flagship projects of the Ramos administration,
for 25 years, within which time it would sell its generated
power to Napocor.


NEGROS NAVIGATION: Parent to Release PhP253M For Rehab
------------------------------------------------------
The rehabilitation program of debt-saddled Negros Navigation Co.
(Nenaco) has found a new lease on life with the decision of
Metro Pacific Corp. (MPC), the shipping firm's parent, to commit
to release this year a total of PhP235 million to finance the
said program, reports The Manila Times.

The PhP253-million loan under the rehabilitation program is
payable in 36 months with a 16-percent interest, according to
Nenaco president and chief executive officer Sulpicio O. Tagud
Jr.

Mr. Tagud said Metro Pacific has already lent Nenaco some PhP123
million for the partial payment to the Bureau of Internal
Revenue of its back taxes amounting to P425 million. Still, he
said, Nenaco needs PhP130 million to finance the dry-docking and
repair of three of its vessels.

The PhP130 million will come from Metro Pacific's equity
issuance before yearend.

Metro Pacific, which sold last month its 10-percent stake in its
subsidiary, Landco Pacific Corp., for PhP60.5 million to finance
the rehabilitation program of Nenaco, said it still believes in
the growth prospects of the shipping firm, which reported a net
loss of PhP335 million in the first half.

LKN-PRIMEFIELD: Adopts Debt Restructuring Implementation
--------------------------------------------------------
LKN-Primefield Limited announced plans to adopt the
implementation of its debt-restructuring plan.

Further to the Company's announcement on 9 September 2003, the
terms of the debt-restructuring plan have been further refined
and revised with the involvement of KPMG Corporate Restructuring
Services. The holders of the S$366,000,000 redeemable fixed rate
bonds due 2006 which are constituted by the trust deed dated 13
March 2001 made between the Company and HSBC Trustee (Singapore)
Limited as trustee for the Bondholders, as supplemented by a
supplemental trust deed dated 31 July 2001 made between the
parties, have at a meeting held on 6 September 2004 approved the
revised debt restructuring plan by an extraordinary resolution,
subject to legal documentation containing definitive terms of
the revised debt restructuring plan being executed by all the
Bondholders.

Prior to the revised debt-restructuring plan, the principal
amount of Bonds outstanding and accrued interest is
approximately S$288.4 million.

Under the revised debt-restructuring plan, an aggregate of
approximately S$172 million will remain as outstanding Bonds.
The Company's and certain of its subsidiaries' (Group) assets
will be subject to security in favor of the Bondholders. A
performance-pegged interest servicing structure would also be
adopted to alleviate future cash flow pressures wherein the
Company's liability to interest will comprise the following key
components:

In respect of cash flows generated by the Group's core assets, a
minimum of 1.5% per annum of the value of the remaining core
assets, subject to a cap of 5% per annum;

In respect of cash flows generated by the Group's non-core and
other non-core assets, the net operational cash surplus after
meeting all operational expenses.

In addition to the above, KPMG Corporate Restructuring Services
would also be appointed Independent Special Consultants to the
Company to safeguard the collective interest of the Bondholders
until the Group's obligations have been fulfilled.

The balance of approximately S$117 million of outstanding Bonds
will be converted into (i) 427,139,251 ordinary shares of par
value S$0.05 each in the capital of the Company; (ii) two series
of redeemable convertible preference shares, namely, 15,646,126
Series A preference shares at an issue price of S$0.69 per
Series A preference share and 109,522,885 Series B preference
shares at an issue price of S$0.16 per Series B preference
share; and (iii) 3,000,000 ordinary shares of par value S$1.00
each in the capital of AXS InfoComm Pte Ltd.

The Company will be convening an extraordinary general meeting
shortly to obtain the necessary shareholders' approval for the
revised debt-restructuring plan. A circular to shareholders will
be dispatched in due course.

share in October 2003, as follows:

(1) Current status

(1.1) Flat-Rolled Steel Facility

* The Company commissioned a Flat-Rolled Steel facility in
December 2003 and commenced production in January 2004.  In the
first stage, the facility operated only during off-peak hours.

* Beginning in August 2004, the Flat-Rolled Steel facility
commenced 24-hour operations.

A summary of the facility's production from January to September
2004 is as follows:

         Month                 Production (Million Tonnes)
         January                 3,190
         February                6,073
         March                  19,495
         April                  24,282
         May                    34,907
         June                   29,319
         July                   35,413
         August                 55,266
         September1             60,000

(Note: 1 Based on actual orders received until 31st August
2004.)

* As at 31st August 2004, the Company had utilized US$ 25.28
million of the funds raised for its Flat-Rolled Steel Facility.
The facility had a budget of US$29.78 million.

(1.2) Finishing Mill Facility

* As disclosed in the Filing, the Company planned to complete
its Finishing Mill Facility within 18 months after the public
offering.  We have now concluded the contracts for PPPL (Push-
Pull Pickling Line), including ARP (Acid Regeneration Plant) and
CGL (Continuous Galvanizing Line) under the Finishing Mill
Facility and commenced test runs of the Temper Mill.

However, we are currently in the process of amending the CGL
contract to ensure its applicability to current customer
requirements.

Current assessments estimate that there may be a three- to five-
month delay in the start-up of certain sections of the Finishing
Mill Facility. The effect of such delays are expected to be
negligible as only additional salary and utility costs will be
incurred during the period of delay.

Based on the agreed payment terms under the contracts, the
Company's payment for the Finishing facility will also be
extended.

As a result, the Company is expected to have available funds
during the next 6 to 12-month period.

(2) Conclusion

The following table shows the Company's use of proceeds as at
31st August 2004:

Unit: US$ millions
Description    Forecast    Actual use as at     Remaining
               disclosed   31st August 2004*     Balance
             in the Filing

Flat-Rolled
Steel Facility  29.78             25.28**            4.50

Finishing
Mill Facility   40.04             13.11**           26.93

Working Capital 20.00             18.36**            1.64
Total           89.82             56.75             33.07

(Note: * Not yet reviewed or audited by the Auditor.
**Includes Letters of Credit issued in the amount of US$ 3
million, US$ 9.59 million and US$ 7.05 million, for respective
facilities.)

In order to take advantage of the up-trend of the steel cycle
and also to respond to the current strong market demand and
pricing which led to the Company's positive EBITDA as shown in
its last financial statements, the management is of the opinion
that up to US$20 million of the available excess funds reserved
from the Finishing Facility be used for working capital to
purchase raw materials (showing a strong price trend) for the
Flat-Rolled facility, which is expected to generate considerable
positive cash flow to the Company in the next 6 to 12 months.

The Company is in the process of obtaining a permanent line of
working capital from financial institutions to strengthen its
position in this regard.

Based on the Company's cash flow projections, all the funds
necessary to meet its commitments on the Finishing Mill Facility
will be available as required.

Please be informed and disseminate the above accordingly.
Yours Sincerely,
(Mr. Sawasdi Horrungruang)

NATURAL PARK: Details Convertible Debentures Preliminary Issue
--------------------------------------------------------------
In a disclosure to the Stock Exchange of Thailand, Natural Park
Public Company Limited announced that it would like to correct
the preliminary details of the convertible debentures,
specifically on the figures regarding Impact on Shareholders,
paragraph 2.  The revised information:

Type: Convertible debenture in name certificate with the right
to convert into ordinary shares of the Company

Objective:

- Use as a working capital for business operation
- Use as a capital for business expansion
- Use as a capital for debt refinancing payment

Amount: Not exceeding 500 units.  Nevertheless, after the
conversion of the entire offered convertible debentures, the
number of ordinary shares from such conversion shall not exceed
the number of ordinary shares reserved for the conversion which
is not exceeding 1,000,000,000 shares.

Face value: US$100,000

Total issue of the convertible debentures: Not exceeding US$50
million or any equivalent currency.

Tenor: Not exceeding five years from the issuing date

Conversion period: Daily from the issuing date

Expiration of the conversion period: Seven days prior to the
maturity of the convertible debentures

Conversion ratio and conversion price: One unit of the
convertible debenture will be converted into newly issued
shares.  The conversion price for each new ordinary share will
be specified by the Board of Directors of the Company and such
price shall be in the range between 105 percent to 125 percent
of the market price based on the weighted average closing price
or the average closing price of the Company's shares traded on
the Stock Exchange of Thailand for a certain period prior to the
offer for sale of the convertible debentures.

The number of days used for calculation of the average closing
price shall be specified by the Board of Directors of the
Company or any person designed by the Board of Directors.  Such
number of days must be ranged between 15 days and 30 days.
Nevertheless, one unit of the convertible debenture will be
converted into the new ordinary shares in a number equal to
100,000 x E / P shares where

E = Exchange rate of the US Dollar currency as of the offering
date of the convertible debenture (unit: Baht per US Dollar)

P = Conversion price specified by the Board of Directors of the
Company (unit: Baht per share)

Number of ordinary shares reserved for the conversion: Not
exceeding 1,000,000,000 shares

Nevertheless, the total number of ordinary shares reserved for
the conversion of this offering combined with other offering of
the convertible debentures or warrants with the rights to
purchase ordinary shares must not exceed 1,000,000,000 shares or
12.41 percent of the total issued shares of the Company which
equals to 8,057,160,000 shares

Allocation method: Internationally offered to the investors
pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission Notification
No. GorJor. 47/2541,

Re. Rules, Conditions, and Procedures for Requesting and
Granting of Approval for the International Offering of Newly
Issued Debentures to the Investors, dated December 25, 1998 (as
amended).

The offering may be made on one or several separate occasions.

Impact on shareholders: In the case of exercising all of the
conversion right pursuant to all convertible debentures, the
number of ordinary shares from such conversion equals to
1,000,000,000 shares.

After combining such shares from conversion with the
8,057,160,000 existing shares, the total shares of the Company
will equal to 9,057,160,000 shares.  Therefore, the voting right
of the existing shareholder will be reduced by
1,000,000,000/9,057,160,000 or 11.04 percent of the paid-up
capital after the capital increase.

However, if the conversion right pursuant to all convertible
debentures is exercised and shareholders of Pacific Assets
Public Company Limited offer all shares to the Company as per
the tender offer causing the Company to issue additional
489,041,812 shares, the total number of (i) the existing shares,
(ii) the shares from the conversion of convertible debentures,
and (iii) offered shares for tender offer will be 9,546,201,812
shares.

Therefore, the voting right of the existing shareholders will be
reduced by 1,489,041,812/9,546,201,812 or 15.60 percent of the
paid-up capital after the capital increase.

It is expected that the earnings per share will be affected in
an early period from the date of exercise of conversion right
pursuant to the convertible debentures only.

However, at current economic growth and the Company's growth
resulting from the gradual completion of the projects which
causes an increase of the Company's revenue, the Company expects
that earnings per share will increase, and this will compensate
for the impact on the shareholders in the long-term.

It is expected that there will be no impact on the market price
of shares (price dilution) on the date the convertible shares
are issued because the conversion price is greater than the
market price (based on weighted average closing price or the
average closing price of the Company's shares traded on the
Stock Exchange of Thailand for a certain period prior to the
offer for sale of the convertible debentures for which the
number of days used for calculation of the average closing price
shall be specified by the Board of Directors of the Company).

However, if the Company's shares price is greater than the
aforementioned market price on the issued date of the
convertible debentures or if the Company's shares price is
greater than the conversion price, this may impact on the market
price of shares (price dilution).

Early redemption:

(1) The Company may or may not entitle to redeem the convertible
debentures prior to the maturity depending upon the terms and
conditions of each tranche of the issued convertible debentures,
which will be specified by the Board of Directors.

If the Company is entitled to redeem all of the convertible
debentures prior to its maturity (call option), the price of
such early redemption shall be approximately between 100 percent
and 120 percent of the face value plus accrued interest (if
any).

The date for the early redemption will be after 3 years of the
issuance date and when the closing price of the Company's shares
is not less than 130 percent of the conversion price for the
period of not less than 15 consecutive days out of 30 trading
days.

(2) The holders of the convertible debentures may or may not
entitle to request the Company to redeem the convertible
debentures prior to the maturity depending upon the terms and
conditions of each tranche of the issued convertible debentures
which will be specified by the Board of Directors.

If the holder of the convertible debentures is entitled to
request the Company for the early redemption of all convertible
debentures (put option), the price of such early redemption
shall be approximately between 100 percent and 120 percent of
the face value plus accrued interest (if any).  The date for the
early redemption will be after 3 years of the issuance date.

Nevertheless, if the holders of the convertible debentures
requests for the early redemption of the entire amount, the
Company must obtain the source of fund for the early redemption
in the amount of not exceeding 120 percent of the face value or
in the total amount of not exceeding US$60 million.

Events requiring the Company to issue new shares to accommodate
a change of the exercise of conversion right upon an occurrence
of events under Clause 35/5 of the Securities and Exchange
Commission Notification No. GorJor. 32/2544, Re: Application and
Grant of Approval for Offering Newly Issued Shares dated 19
October 2001 (as amended).

Issuance of Convertible Debenture.

Comply with Stock Exchange of Thailand and Securities and
Exchange Commission's regulation.

Please be informed accordingly
Sincerely yours,
Mr. Thowthawal Subhavanich
Chief Financial Officer

SUNTECH GROUP: SET Suspends Trading of Securities
-------------------------------------------------
Previously, the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) posted an SP
(Suspension) sign on the securities of Suntech Group Public
Company Limited (SUNTEC) from 31 August 2004 because SUNTEC has
failed to submit its financial statements as of 30 June 2004 to
the SET via the Electronic Listed Company Information
Dissemination system (ELCID) and there has been at least three
consecutive delays in filing its financial statements.

Now, SUNTEC has publicly submitted to the SET its audited
financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2004.

Since its auditor issued a Disclaimer of Opinion on SUNTEC's
financial statements, it can be considered that the numbers
(indicating the financial status and operating results of the
company presented in its financial statements) did not reflect
the actual position of the company and the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) probably issued an instruction that
SUNTEC is obliged to amend its financial statements. SUNTEC's
shareholders and general investors should scrutinize the
auditor's opinion relating to the results in financial
statements.

Presently, SUNTEC has been under the rehabilitation process so
the SET has still suspended trading all securities of SUNTEC
until the causes of delisting are eliminated.
