CHEMEQ LIMITED: To Review Market, Revenue Forecasts
---------------------------------------------------
Following the Australian Securities and Investments Commission's
(ASIC) objection of a plan to raise AU$20 million from existing
shareholders, Chemeq Limited is set to review its market and
revenue forecasts, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

The embattled agricultural pharmaceuticals firm will amend a
prospectus after the corporate regulator ordered to halt the
issue of new shares under its non-renounceable rights offer.

ASIC's revelation of a probe on several issues relating to
Chemeq has added to the West Australian company's problems about
the prospectus.

It is believed that ASIC is concerned about statements in the
prospectus about the market potential for the sale of its
polymeric anti-microbials for use in farming.

Based on United Nations figures on total global poultry and pig
production estimates, Chemeq estimates the potential market size
is as high as AU$8.6 billion annually, or AU$3.8 billion a year
in the medium term.

ASIC has also questioned the company's revenue forecasts, after
it cited recent non-binding deals with New Zealand and South
African distributors that could generate AU$1 million revenue in
the first year and AU$2 million in the second.

Although, Chemeq did not agree with ASIC's position, it vowed to
work with the regulator to resolve the issues so that its
fundraising timetable would not be affected.

KINGSLEY BROWN: Court Issues Winding Up Order
---------------------------------------------
The Supreme Court of Victoria on September 10 ordered the
liquidation of Kingsley Brown (Cowes) Pty Ltd (Kingsley Brown
(Cowes)), a property development company which has interests in
Cowes, Phillip Island following an application by the Australian
Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

Mr. Robert Brown, the director of Kingsley Brown (Cowes),
consented to the order.

Justice Philip Mandie ordered that Mr. Paul Pattison be
appointed the liquidator of Kingsley Brown (Cowes), which is one
of four companies in the Kingsley Brown group. Two other
entities in the group, Kingsley Brown Holdings Pty Ltd and
Kingsley Brown Finance Pty Ltd, were placed into liquidation by
the Court on 4 August 2004 following an ASIC application.

ASIC's application that the fourth company in the group,
Kingsley Brown Properties Pty Ltd, be placed into liquidation
was adjourned until 24 September 2004.

Mr. Brown, the director of all the companies, was ordered to pay
ASIC's costs relating to interim injunctions obtained against
him in earlier hearings.

ASIC commenced the proceeding following an investigation into
the Kingsley Brown group. ASIC was concerned that investments by
shareholders in the group were not adequately protected and had
been applied to various property developments and for other
purposes without proper accounting, security and disclosure.

The Kingsley Brown group has developed a number of properties in
Cowes, Phillip Island including the '17 The Esplanade' complex
and the 'Bayview Grand' development.


OLEA AUSTRALIS: Former Secretary Charged
----------------------------------------
Mr. Stephen Wayne Randell, a former company secretary of Olea
Australis Limited, appeared in the Perth Court of Petty Sessions
Friday, following an investigation by the Australian Securities
and Investments Commission (ASIC).

Mr. Randell, of Shenton Park in Western Australia, was charged
with eight counts of contravening the Australian Securities and
Investments Commission Act 2001. ASIC alleges Mr. Randell made
false statements under oath at an ASIC examination concerning
statements made to him about olive tree yield figures.

Mr. Randell pleaded not guilty to each charge and was bailed on
a personal undertaking to reappear on 19 November 2004 for a
committal mention date.

The matter is being prosecuted by the Commonwealth Director of
Public Prosecutions.

Background

Mr. Randell was the company secretary for Olea Australis between
1 October 1999 and 29 January 2001, and the company secretary
for Dandaragan Olives Management Limited (DOM) between 30 April
1999 and 29 January 2001. Olea Australis was the ultimate
holding company of DOM, and DOM was the entity responsible for
managing the affairs of the Olea Australis project.

ASIC commenced an investigation following an allegation that the
olive tree yield figures, which appeared in the Olea Australis
prospectus dated 9 March 2000, were false. ASIC investigated
claims that the olive tree yields published in the prospectus
were not the olive tree yields approved for inclusion in the
prospectus by an independent olive expert. The olive tree yields
form the basis for the calculation of project cash flow and
financial projections.

The prospectus offered investors the opportunity to participate
in an olive growing and processing project at Dandaragan in
Western Australia. Investors could lease one or more olive
groves of 0.2 hectares each, through a 20 year lease and
management agreement. The subscription amount for one olive
grove was $10,247.00. In addition, for each olive grove
investors were also required to subscribe for 5,000 shares at
$0.20 per share in Olea Australis.

Last month the Executive Chairman of Olea Australis, Mr John
Andrew Simpson was charged with one count of providing false
information in the Olea Australis prospectus dated 9 March 2000.

This ASIC announcement is dated September 10, 2004.

PAN PHARMACEUTICALS: Regulator Expects Criminal Charges
-------------------------------------------------------
The medicines regulator is expecting criminal charges to be
filed before the end of this month over the unsafe practices
that closed the Pan Pharmaceuticals facility in Sydney in April
2003, reports The Age.

The Federal Court on September 8 heard the anticipated charges
related to "one aspect" of continuing investigations by the
Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) into Pan and its former
managing director, Jim Selim.

The TGA has ordered the destruction of about 1600 vitamin and
herbal products manufactured by Pan in the "world's biggest
medicines recall".

According to the regulator, test results fabrication, ingredient
substitution and an unsanitary facility had created an imminent
risk of death, serious illness and injury.

The revelation of a possible lawsuit came during a challenge by
the TGA to submit Pan's staff to Federal Court examinations
scheduled on September 22 and 23.

In July, registrar Jennifer Hedge issued an order for TGA
officials to answer questions under oath about Pan, as requested
by small vitamin's firm Markethaven Pty Ltd.

Pan produced more than half the complementary medicines sold by
Markethaven, which blames its AU$3 million downfall in November
on the TGA's crackdown on Pan.

Insolvency firm Sheahan Lock Partners administrator John Sheahan
is currently investigating recovering damages from the TGA on
behalf of those who lost money in Markethaven.

QANTAS AIRWAYS: Looks to Asia After BA's Departure
--------------------------------------------------
After the sale of British Airways' (BA) 18.25 percent stake in
Qantas Airways, which ended an 11-year tie-up between the two
airlines, the Australian carrier is starting to map out plans to
ally with Singapore Airlines to dominate the Asia-Pacific
region, Sydney Morning Herald reveals.

Citigroup, which managed the sale of BA's AU$1.1 billion stake,
has encountered strong demand for the stock, particularly from
Asian investors.

Meanwhile, BA said it sold its stake in preparation for this
week's expected wave of consolidation in the European airline
industry, due to the recent Air France-KLM merger.

In 1993, BA originally bought 25 percent of Qantas from the
Keating government for AU$1.09 million after a Singapore Air bid
was rejected.

On September 8, BA offered its stake to institutional investors
for "not less than" AU$1.09 billion or AU$3.24 per share. It is
believed that investors were bidding closer to AU$3.30.

The two airlines, however, confirmed the sale would not affect
their joint services agreement, which allows them to coordinate
fares and schedules on flights between Australia and the U.K.

SONS OF GWALIA: Total Liabilities Reach AU$862 Million
------------------------------------------------------
Sons of Gwalia Limited's administrators confirmed last week that
the failed miner is facing total liabilities exceeding AU$860
million, The West Australian reports.

Insolvency specialist Ferrier Hodgson revealed that the
company's total liabilities were now estimated at AU$862
million.

According to Ferrier Hodgson's latest figures, Gwalia has
outstanding hedging and financier loans of AU$490 million. In
addition, the company needs to pay AU70 million to trade
creditors, AU$7 million for employee entitlements, AU$16 million
for worker's compensation and redundancy entitlements, and AU$44
million for rehabilitation bonds and guarantee facilities. On
top of that, US note holders are owed AU235 million.

The administrators, however, declared the latest figures
remained subject to finalization of a number of accounts, and
are likely to change further during the course of the review.

In their latest statement, the administrators said that a broad
option for the company includes the sale of the tantalum
business, with another being the sale of the gold operations and
non-core assets.

CONSTRUCTION BANK: To Have 5-6 Minority Investors
-------------------------------------------------
Five to six companies will likely sign up as minority investors
for China Construction Bank's planned listing vehicle to be
formed September 21, Dow Jones reports, citing the South China
Morning Post.

Electricity network operator State Grid Corporation of China and
the Baosteel conglomerate are on top of the list. While China
Yangtze Power Company, the listed arm of the Three Gorges Dam
project, has confirmed it will purchase a stake in China
Construction Bank.

China Life also plans to bid for the stake, though it would
require special approval from the government because of the
regulatory barriers between banking and insurance.

Central Huijin Investment Company, a special-purpose government
entity, will control majority of China Construction Bank's
shareholding company.

The bank will spin off non-banking operations into a company
called Jianyin Investment, which will also have a small stake in
the listing vehicle.

* China To Focus on State Banks Reform
--------------------------------------
Bank of China (BOC) and China Construction Bank (CCB) will be
privatized by the Chinese government within the next three
years, Xinhua News Agency reports, citing China Banking
Regulatory Commission (CBRC) Chairman Liu Mingkang.

BOC and CCB, the pilot banks chosen for the state's bank system
reform, will also be converted into joint-stock companies by the
end of 2006. CBRC will aid the reform by pooling advanced
experience overseas specifically in management structures.

CBRC is hopeful that the banks will boast of sufficient capital
with safe operational modes and high-class service after the
reform.

The reforms of other banks such as the Industrial and Commercial
Bank of China and Agricultural Bank of China are also on the
pipeline.

According to Mr. Liu, stable management and healthy development
of state banks would be of great significance to China's
sustainable development.

PERTAMINA: Parliament Backs Cepu Block Plan
-------------------------------------------
Commission VIII of the House of Representatives agreed to PT
Pertamina's proposal to handle the Cepu block on its own,
provided the block would generate more income for the state,
Asia Pulse says.

In response to the House's support of the Cepu plan, Pertamina
President Director Widya Purnama gave assurance that the company
would give significant contribution to the country in the
future.

Earlier, Mr. Widja had insisted the state oil and gas firm will
manage the Cepu block by itself in 2010, after rejecting in
principle the head of agreement (HoA) submitted by ExxonMobil
Oil Indonesia Inc (EMOI), saying it does not benefit the
country.

Meanwhile, House Commission member Zainal Arifin urged the oil
firm to seek a court settlement of its dispute with Karaha Bodas
Company (KBC). In addition, the company was advised to take
legal and administrative action to resolve graft issues in the
gas pipeline project in East Java, Petral and Pertamina Saving
Investment.

The commission, likewise, requested Pertamina to find means to
prevent the fuel subsidy from increasing.

PERTAMINA: Three Firms Eye Cooperation on Sulawesi
--------------------------------------------------
Private companies Petronas, Marathon Energy and Medco are
planning to forge an alliance with PT Pertamina in managing the
Matindok gas field in Central Sulawesi province, reports Asia
Pulse.

However, Pertamina still has to study their respective offers.

"We will ask them to look for markets for the gas, " Pertamina's
upstream director Hari Kustoro told the press.

Medco Energi, through Expan Nusantara, earlier clinched a
cooperation deal with Pertamina on managing the Senoro Toili gas
field, also in Sulawesi. It is still unclear whether or not the
cooperation has materialized.


PERTAMINA: Unveils More Scandals
--------------------------------
Following its discovery of graft scandals involving two
subsidiaries, PT Pertamina has once again found evidences of a
possible markup in the renovation cost of its hotel unit PT
Patra Jasa, Asia Pulse relates.

The state oil and gas firm's President Widja Purnama revealed
that markup suspicion emerged upon discovery that the renovation
cost of Patra Jasa's hotel Bali Nirwana Resort was larger than
its selling price.

Last week, Mr. Widja told legislators the cost of Bali
Nirwana''s renovation was reported at IDR187 billion (US$20.8
million) but was later sold at IDR160 billion only.

Earlier, Mr. Widja revealed corruption allegations of
Pertamina's subsidiaries Petral Energy Trading and PT Pertamina
Saving and Investment.

The recent revelations are parts of Mr. Widja's efforts to wipe
Pertamina clean of corruption.

ISHIKAWAJIMA-HARIMA HEAVY: Reprimanded for Falsifying Test Data
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Ministry of Transport has reprimanded Ishikawajima-Harima
Heavy Industries (IHI) for routinely falsifying test data after
performing repair work on aircraft engines, reports The
Financial Times.

IHI received a business improvement order from the government
regulator following an alert in February that the aerospace
maintenance firm was falsifying test data on V-2500 engines.

The engines, which power MD-90 twin-jets, are manufactured by
International Aero Engines, a consortium comprising U.S. based
Pratt & Whitney, British Rolls-Royce, Germany's MTU and a group
of Japanese firms, including IHI.

IHI, which maintained aircraft for Japan Air Systems, now
Japanese Airlines (JAL), found cracks in the Pratt & Whitney
engines powering 18 MD-87 and MD-81 planes. As a result, JAL was
forced to cancel 600 domestic flights over a 20-day period.

According to authorities, IHI discovered in 1996 that the
engines produced a higher-than-expected thrust, so they altered
the figures to avoid suspicion.

Unable to determine the cause of the oddities, the company
allegedly reported "normal" figures for fear of losing its
license to operate.

State officials, likewise, found 22 other dubious practices at
IHI, one of which involved reducing an engine-part test to one-
third of its required time frame.

Last week, IHI denied the falsification allegations but admitted
that it did make alterations. It has presented the actual
results of the tests to IAE and confirmed there were no safety
problems associated with the data fabrication.

"We have not experienced any operating problems with these
engines and we are sure that safety has not been compromised," a
JAL spokesman declared.

Although IHI is not subject to criminal punishment, it is
required to issue a report within 30 days detailing how it will
improve its business practices.

KOBE STEEL: Releases Earnings Forecast for Fiscal 2004
------------------------------------------------------
Kobe Steel, Ltd. announced on September 9 its earnings forecast
for fiscal 2004, ending March 2005. This forecast also fulfills
the requirements stipulated by the Tokyo Stock Exchange for the
timely disclosure of quarterly financial information.

Consolidated Forecast

For the first half of fiscal 2004, ending September 30, 2004,
Kobe Steel projects consolidated sales will rise JPY40 billion
to JPY690 billion, in comparison to the previous forecast in May
2004.

Pretax ordinary income (also called pretax recurring profit) is
estimated to increase JPY19 billion to JPY37 billion, in
comparison to the previous forecast.

To further improve its financial position, from fiscal 2004 Kobe
Steel has decided to apply fixed-asset impairment accounting at
an early time. Losses applicable to impairment accounting will
be reported as extraordinary losses. As such, after-tax net
income is expected to increase 1 billion yen to 11 billion yen,
in comparison to the previous forecast.

The Japanese economy in the first half of fiscal 2004 shows
continued recovery led by private-sector demand. Exports are
expanding as overseas economies grow. In Japan, capital
investments and personal spending remain strong.

Under these conditions, overall demand continues to be firm in
the half year ending in September.

Domestic demand for steel products is strong owing to firm
demand from manufacturing industries, on the back of active
overseas demand and recovery in private-sector capital
investment. In addition, non-housing construction is showing an
upward trend. Exports continue to be robust due to recovery in
the U.S. economy and growth in the Chinese market. Steel prices
have been rising owing to tighter supply worldwide. As a result,
Iron & Steel segment sales and profits are expected to increase
in comparison to the previous forecast.

The Aluminum & Copper segment is also expected to perform better
than the previous forecast.

Demand for aluminum sheet and extrusions for automobiles is
strong, and the hot summer also pushed up demand for copper tube
for air conditioners. Most of the other business segments are
also expected to do well.

MITSUBISHI FUSO: To Recall 52,000 Buses for Seat Defect
-------------------------------------------------------
Mitsubishi Tokyo Truck and Bus Corporation will submit a recall
notice to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport
involving 52,000 midsize and large buses for replacement of
defective seats, reports Kyodo News.

Subject to the recall are buses manufactured between 1974 and
2004 as seats near the emergency exits could fall over when the
vehicles come to a sudden stop.

The embattled truck maker has confirmed five accidents involving
the faulty seats that took place in 2001 and 2002.

RESONA HOLDINGS: Forms Brokerage Tie-up with Nomura
---------------------------------------------------
Resona Holdings is finalizing its brokerage alliance with Nomura
Holdings Incorporated in order to take advantage of deregulation
that will allow banks to deal in securities, Reuters relates,
citing the Yomiuri Shimbun.

The agreement to form a brokerage tie-up, which is expected to
be clinched by the end of this month, would allow Nomura to
access Resona's lucrative base of "cash-rich" individual
clients, who have huge savings but are hesitant to invest in
riskier securities.

RESONA HOLDINGS: Issues New Resona Card+S
-----------------------------------------
Resona Holdings, Inc., Resona Card Co., Ltd. and Credit Saison
Co., Ltd. will start issuing a new joint credit card, "Resona
Card+S (Resona Card <>)," based on the business tie-up
concluded among the three companies that was announced on
February 25, 2004, with a view to delivering highly convenient
credit card products to more diverse customers.

Around 600 offices of Resona Group banks will start handling the
new card. Resona Bank, Saitama Resona Bank and Kinki Osaka Bank
will start handling the new card from October 4, 2004, and Nara
Bank also plans to start offering the same card from January
2005.

(1) Issuance of New Credit Card

The new credit card, which was developed jointly by Resona Card
and Credit Saison, provides the holders with various daily-life
services offered so far by distributor-affiliated credit card
companies.

The new card will be the first such card to be issued by a bank-
affiliated credit card company.

(2) Business Tie-up between Resona Card and Credit Saison

On August 7, 2004, Credit Saison subscribed all of the new
shares issued and allotted to a third party by Resona Card. As a
result, Credit Saison now holds a 10% stake in Resona Card.

In July 2004, Mr. Mitsuo Yokoyama of Credit Saison (former
director of Credit Saison) was appointed as deputy president of
Resona Card. Resona Card also called on other four people from
Credit Saison and appointed one such person as its executive
officer, with a view to strengthening the Resona Group's credit
card business. On the other hand, Resona Card dispatched its
three staffs to Credit Saison as part of the mutual personnel
exchange.

Resona Card will outsource its backyard operations related to
the Resona Card+S (Resona Card <>) to Credit Saison,
including the issuance of cards, screening of applications,
billing and clearing of bills, and customer supports, etc.

Considerations will also be given to sending the advertisements
of products and services of Resona Group banks to approximately
16 million Saison card members.

Resona Group regards the credit card business as one of its core
retail business areas and intends to strengthen the business
further through the aforementioned alliance with Credit Saison.


UFJ HOLDINGS: SMFG Primed to Make Hostile Bid
---------------------------------------------
President Yoshifumi Nishikawa of the Sumitomo Mitsui Financial
Group confirmed his bank is prepared to make a hostile bid for
UFJ Holdings Incorporated, Financial Times says.

Speaking at a closed-door conference for investors organized by
U.S. investment bank Merrill Lynch, Mr. Nishikawa expressed his
intent to take over UFJ, saying the merger is his "number one
priority".

SMFG is trying to woe UFJ away from a planned merger with
Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group to create the world's largest
bank in terms of assets.

UFJ's market capitalization currently stands at JPY2,500
billion, which indicates that a controlling stake of 51 percent
with a 15 percent premium would cost SMFG around JPY1,600
billion. Alternatively, SMFG could opt for a 33 percent stake,
which would give it the power of veto in UFJ.

SMFG has also proposed to provide UFJ a capital injection of
JPY700 billion, which means a 51 percent stake purchase could
cost more than JPY2,000 billion. This would indicate that SMFG
would have to raise fresh capital from third parties to fund the
acquisition.

Investors at the conference worry at the prospect of a costly
hostile bid as they voice doubts about how SMFG was able to
disclose some of the terms of the planned merger with UFJ,  
without having conducted due diligence.

LG INVESTMENT: KDB Expected To Ink Deal With Woori This Week
------------------------------------------------------------
A deal on the sale of Korea Development Bank's (KDB) stake in LG
Investment & Securities Co. to Woori Financial Group is expected
signed this week, reports Yonhap News, citing industry sources.

According to the sources, state-run KDB and Woori, a state-owned
financial holding company, are fine-tuning the details of the
contract. Market watchers also say that Woori would pay KRW280
billion (US$243 million) to KRW300 billion for the brokerage
firm.

A KDB official, however, said that, "With negotiations still
under way, it is impossible to disclose the timing of the deal
and the sale price".

KDB has the largest interest of 21.2 percent in LG Investment,
which it acquired in return for rescuing LG Card Co. early this
year.

KOOKMIN BANK: CEO Punished By FSC
---------------------------------
South Korea's Financial Supervisory Commission announced in a
statement Friday that it has barred Kookmin Bank Chief Executive
Kim Jung Tae from seeking a new term at the bank for violating
tax accounting rules, Reuters reveals.

The financial regulator also banned Mr. Kim, whose term as KB
CEO and president expires next month, from holding a board
position at any South Korean bank for the next three years.

The ban follows the regulators' ruling that the bank had avoided
$270 million in taxes by overstating 2003 losses, and said it
signaled a high level of negligence by Kim. The watchdog also
said Kookmin, which was fined KRW2 billion for the said
accounting violations, had put aside insufficient provisions
last year.

Meted milder punishments were Yoon Jong Kyoo, Kookmin's senior
executive vice president who was chief financial officer
involved in the 2003 financial statements, and Donald H.
MacKenzie, senior executive vice president in charge of credit
risk.

Mr. Kim, who has been popular with foreign investors who own 78
percent of Kookmin shares, was often at odds with the government
over his reluctance to rescue troubled companies. With his
ouster, investor fears about potential government meddling in
choosing his successor will surely be raised.

* SK Government Not Rescuing Troubled Financial Firms Anymore
-------------------------------------------------------------
Troubled financial companies in South Korea will no longer be
bailed out by the government to keep them afloat, reports Dow
Jones, citing South Korean Minister of Finance and Economy Lee
Hun-Jai.

"When crisis emerges, our policies will be completely market-
friendly; that means financial companies in crisis may have to
close down and disappear," Minister Lee said. He added that in
order to pre-empt financial dangers at financial companies, the
government will strengthen "pre-surveillance" supervision on
such firms.

The South Korean government has been coming to the rescue of
large financial institutions since the 1997-1998 Asian financial
crisis by injecting massive amounts of public funds into them. A
recent example is credit card issuer LG Card Co., which received
a multi-trillion won rescue package from creditors led by state-
run Korea Development Bank early this year.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Setegap Berhad, Kuala

its subsidiaries (Setegap Group) intend to undertake a proposed
fund raising & settlement exercise as detailed hereunder. This
exercise is an interim proposal as defined under Paragraph 13.08
of the Securities Commission's Policies and Guidelines on
Issue/Offer of Securities and is an integral part of a
comprehensive restructuring exercise in which the Company is
currently finalizing with its lenders comprising a consortium of
financial institutions (FI Lenders). A detailed announcement on

representing the entire issued and paid-up capital in PPP to
Alpha Positive Sdn Bhd for a cash consideration of RM7,000,000
(Proposed Disposal of PPP).

As PPP is currently only a 62.09%-owned subsidiary of Setegap,
the Company is required to acquire the minority interest in PPP
to facilitate the Proposed Disposal of PPP. Accordingly, the
Company proposes to acquire 305,305 ordinary shares of RM1.00
each representing 37.91% equity interest in PPP from Christopher
Hon Kah Foong, Mohd Zaini Bin Mohamed and Imbasan Mawar Sdn Bhd
for a purchase consideration of RM12,600,000 to be satisfied

Setegap of RM1.00 each at par (Proposed MI Acquisition);

ii) Proposed Issuance of ICULS to Subsidiaries

Proposed issuance of RM33,527,400 nominal value of 2004/2007 4%
Irredeemable Convertible Unsecured Loan Stocks (ICULS) to
Setegap's subsidiaries (Proposed ICULS Issuance) to facilitate
the Proposed Restricted Offer for Sale and Proposed Settlement
to Creditors (as defined hereunder);

iii) Proposed Restricted Offer for Sale

Proposed renounceable restricted offer for sale to the
shareholders of Setegap of up to RM29,027,400 nominal value of
ICULS at a tentative offer price of RM0.70 each (Proposed
Restricted Offer for Sale);
iv) Proposed Settlement to Creditors

a) Proposed issuance of up to 7,600,000 new ordinary shares of
RM1.00 each in Setegap at par; and

b) Proposed transfer of up to RM2,974,700 nominal value ICULS;
to trade creditors as settlement of amounts owing by the Setegap
Group; and

c) Proposed transfer of RM1,525,300 nominal value ICULS to
settle amounts owing to directors of its subsidiaries;
(Collectively known as Proposed Settlement to Creditors)

v) Proposed Increase in Authorized Share Capital

Proposed increase in the authorized share capital of the Company
from RM100,000,000 comprising 100,000,000 Shares to
RM200,000,000 comprising 200,000,000 Shares in the Company
(Proposed Increase in Authorized Share Capital).

The Proposed Disposal of PPP, Proposed MI Acquisition, Proposed
ICULS Issuance, Proposed Settlement to Creditors, Proposed
Restricted Offer for Sale and Proposed Increase in Authorized
Share Capital are collectively known as the "Proposals".

The Proposals' principal objectives are to allow Setegap to
raise cash proceeds for part repayment to the FI Lenders as well

Group.

Further details of the Proposals are set out in the attachments
of this announcement.

Board approved the election of the following Directors as
members of the Company's Nomination Committee:

(1) Wilson T. Young
(2) Antonio Q. Sevilla

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, the
stockholders approved the quasi-reorganization of the Company on

footing with all existing stockholders.

Results from the Company's consolidated operations showed a net
loss of Php612,601 in 2004 compared to last year's net loss of
Php12,760,862. The significant increase in revenues consisted
mainly of interest income on short-term cash and marketable
securities amounting to Php18,429,628 and foreign exchange gains
from the revaluation of foreign currency-denominated monetary
assets amounting to Php15,224,891. The exchange rate of the
Philippine Peso to the United States Dollar depreciated from
Php52.612 as of April 30, 2003 to Php56.034 as of April 30,

MAYNILAD WATER: MWSS May Not Acquire Maynilad
---------------------------------------------
State-run Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) may
not take over debt-saddled Maynilad Water Services Inc. but will
instead wait for as long as seven years for the company to fully
pay PhP21.3 billion in concession fees, Dow Jones reports.

Based on the revised rehabilitation plan for Maynilad submitted
Thursday to the Quezon City Regional Trial Court, MWSS agreed to
restructure concession fee payments in lieu of the debt-to-
equity swap agreement that Maynilad and its creditors signed in
March.


NEGROS NAVIGATION: Debt Relief May Be Junk By Court
---------------------------------------------------
The court may reject Negros Navigation Company's (Nenaco)
petition for debt rehabilitation if its President and Chief
Executive Sulficio O. Tagus remains in office, the Business
World reported on Friday.

If the court junks the shipping firm's petition, creditors will
now be free to go after the firm's assets, in the process
undermining its rehabilitation efforts.

In an interview, a court insider pointed to the management's
lapses in disclosing key information relating to Nenaco's debt
relief petition.

The court source cited Nenaco's "duplicity" when it did not
disclose that Mr. Tagud -- who was appointed as rehabilitation
receiver prior to his appointment as Nenaco President -- was a
former Director of Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation, a
consortium that includes Nenaco parent Metro Pacific
Corporation.

The interim rule of procedure on corporate rehabilitation
mandates that the assigned rehabilitation receiver must not have
a conflict of interest.

Nenaco filed for a petition on March 31 after audits showed that
its cash flows could not meet the demands of its creditors.

PILIPINO TELEPHONE: Won't Pay Dividends Until Debt is Settled
-------------------------------------------------------------
The shareholders of Pilipino Telephone Corp. (Piltel) will not
be paid dividends until its PhP20.5-billion debts are settled,
reports The Manila Times, citing Philippine Long Distance
Telephone Co. (PLDT) president Napoleon Nazareno.

"It will depend on the performance of the company.  The sequence
of dividends is based on the restructuring of creditors.  We
first have to settle our debts, then pay dividends to preferred
shareholders and common shareholders," Mr. Nazareno said. He
said the company has to give priority to the payment of debts as
part of the restructuring plan approved in 2001.  

Piltel, a PLDT unit, has not paid dividends to its shareholders
for the past seven years.  

Mr. Nazareno said that Piltel settled about US$400,000 in
principal debt in June, and would pay another US$400,000 next
year. In 2006, it would shell out US$4.3 million for the payment
of debts. Between 2007 and 2010, Piltel plans to settle about
$20 million a year. It will then have to pay US$213.6 million by
2011 since majority of its creditors and suppliers elected to
swap their Piltel debt with seven-year bonds issued by sister
firm Smart Communications.

From 2012 to 2016, Piltel, which has reported a net income of
PhP810 million in the first half after years of losses, will
have to settle an annual obligation of US$19 million.


SILAHIS HOTEL: Court Appoints Rehabilitation Receiver
-----------------------------------------------------
The court has recently appointed Atty. Manuel D. Yngson, Jr. as
the rehabilitation receiver of Silahis Hotel International,
Inc., according to the Business World.

The cash-strapped hotel filed for debt-relief last July.
Presiding judge Artemio S. Tipon appointed the lawyer in his
order dated September 6. Accordingly, the court order stipulates
that Mr. Yngson should file a PhP100,000 bond before assuming
his duties.


SOLID CEMENT: Cement Firm Welcomes Lifting of CDO
-------------------------------------------------
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has lifted its
preliminary "Cease and Desist Order" (CDO) against Solid Cement
Corporation (SCC) on the sale of its Island Cement products in
the local market, the Philippine Star reports. Solid Cement was
found to be producing substandard cement, the DTI said.

The DTI decided to lift the CDO against SCC based on preliminary
results of the seven-day test on SCC's cement samples. The DTI
is still awaiting results of the 28-day test, but SCC is
optimistic that it will also pass those tests.

SCC had been on the verge of shutting down its operations
Wednesday night after notifying the Department of Labor and
Employment (DOLE) Wednesday afternoon of its plan to close its
Antipolo plant for at least six months.

SCC estimates a loss of Php270 million for the 28 days that it
was not able to sell its cement product. The company produces an
average of 75,000 bags a day and at Php130 a bag, earns around
Php9.7 million daily.  


VICTORIAS MILLING: Taking Steps to Reduce Costs
-----------------------------------------------
Victorias Milling Co. (VMC) has ordered five offices under the
its support services division to submit on September 17 their
proposed cost-cutting measures, the Business World reports,
citing VMC Senior Vice-President Abelardo E. Bugay.

The memo was directed at the support services division only to
allay widespread fears of an impending retrenchment at the
company's agro-industrial complex in Victorias City in Negros
Occidental.

Victorias has about 1,600 employees, including those in the
refinery. The company, which is the biggest supplier of refined
sugar in the country, produces 30 percent of the Philippines'
refined sugar requirement daily.

Wednesday. The committee would then bring a price range arrived

shareholders)," said Mr. Uthis, who heads a committee tasked to
negotiate with private operators over the government's

of TTC and the Group-9 Creditor will be entitled to the
repayment scheme as follows:

(a) Partial Debt Release

Group-9 Creditor shall release the debt in the amount of 78
percent of the total debt amount.

(b) Deferred Debt Repayment

The remaining debt in the amount of 22 percent will be deferred
to be repaid on the last business day of the fifteenth year from
the plan implementation date.

1.10) Group-10 Creditor: TTT Sponsor Support Creditor, which
includes the unsecured creditor who filed the applications for
debt repayment so that TTC shall provide the financial support
to TTT under the TTT sponsor support agreement.
  
These creditors' claims are under the investigation of the
Official Receiver as to whether they are entitled to file the
applications for debt repayment and whether TTC is actually
indebted to them.  As such, these creditors are considered the
group of creditors in dispute.  

The debt amount owed to the Group-10 Creditor is 3.21 percent of
the total debt amount of TTC and the Group-10 Creditor will be
entitled to the repayment scheme as follows:

(a) Partial Debt Release

percent of the total debt amount.
  
(b) Deferred Debt Repayment
    
The remaining debt in the amount of 22 percent will be deferred
to be repaid on the last business day of the fifteenth year from
the plan implementation date.

capital and issue new ordinary shares as in the following
details:

(2.1) Reduce the registered share capital from THB2,960,000,000
to THB2,780,000,000 and increase the registered share capital in
the amount sufficient to support the issuance of convertible
bonds and/or ordinary shares for the benefit of debt
restructuring.

(2.2) Amend the Articles of Association relating to foreign
shareholding limitation for the benefit of issuing of
convertible bonds and/or ordinary shares to foreign creditors.  
Such amendment to the Articles of Association shall also be

exceeding THB1,000,000,000

operation and the implementation of the Plan.  TTC may require
to apply for loans from various financial institutions or to

under the supervision of the Official Receiver.

Please be informed accordingly.  Additional development on this
matter will be further notified.
