CHEMEQ LIMITED: Clarifies Investment Research Report
----------------------------------------------------
Veterinary pharmaceutical Company Chemeq Limited provided
clarification of an investment research report which questioned
Chemeq's manufacturing facility's capacity to produce 40,000
liters of CHEMEQ polymeric antimicrobial per annum.

Chemeq's manufacturing facility has already demonstrated the
capability to produce between 60,000 and 100,000 liters of
finished product per annum.

Chemeq already has a contract to supply a South African customer
with CHEMEQ polymeric antimicrobial. This contract is valued at
approximately AU$1.55 million and was due for shipment in the
year ending June 30, 2005.

The South African buyer has indicated a willingness to accept
delivery later than agreed in the sale contract pending receipt
of Chemeq's unconditional Australian Pesticides and Veterinary
Medicines Authority (APVMA) license for its manufacturing
facility.

Chemeq's manufacturing facility is designed to manufacture
20,000 kg per annum of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API).

API is the key ingredient in Chemeq's world-first drug designed
to replace the use of antibiotics in the treatment of intestinal
bacterial diseases in feedstock animals. Approximately 1
kilogram of API is formulated into 20 liters of finished
product, CHEMEQ polymeric antimicrobial.

Based on current output levels of between 15%-25% of plant
capacity, Chemeq is able to produce 60,000-100,000 liters of
finished product annually. Pending full APVMA license for the
facility, current production output is being placed in
inventory. After receipt of the full license the inventory will
be released to the market.

Plant capacity will increase to 400,000 liters of finished
product per annum once full plant capacity is reached.

Chemeq's plan for reaching full plant capacity has been
supported by a recent independent engineers report. The first
stage in this plan currently underway is designed to overcome
the previously disclosed filtration problem. Work is focusing on
analysis of alternative solutions including improving the
existing filtration technology and moving to other technologies.
Chemeq anticipates it will be in a position to provide a further
update on these developments in about a month.

FAMINCO MINING: Thalanga Not Hurt by Financial Woes
---------------------------------------------------
The collapse of mining services contractor Faminco Mining
Services Pty Ltd has not affected Thalanga Copper mine,
according to Northern Miner.

month with total debt of AU$7 million, took over the Thalanga
Copper Mine contract from Brandrill in August 2003.

But despite Faminco's downfall, Thalangga has managed to operate
as per usual. In fact, it is continuing to look at options of
mining further resources past the mine's life span of June.

HENRY WALKER: Unit Sale Saves 1,100 Jobs
----------------------------------------
Henry Walker Eltin Group Limited's sale of its contract
servicing and civil engineering unit has saved some 1,100 jobs,
Asia Pulse says.

The sale of Simon Engineering to construction firm Abigroup
Limited for an undisclosed amount is expected to save jobs and
secure employee entitlements, according to administrator Scott
Kershaw of McGrath Nicol and Partners.

Henry Walker bought Simon Engineering in April 2000 for AU$6.7
million (US$5.24 million), in a bid to expand the group's
capabilities. But the business was singled out by the
administrators last month as one of the group's underperforming
units.

Henry Walker was forced to appoint voluntary administrators at
the end of January after Glencore Finance AG declined to proceed
with a proposed AU$100 million recapitalization and the group
was unable to secure other long-term funding arrangements.

The administrators have tried to convince creditors that Henry
Walker has very solid core businesses and the outlook for them
was positive.

The administrators will hold a second meeting of Henry Walker
creditors in late May when they will outline the options going
forward.

JAMES HARDIE: Asbestos Compo Report Nears Completion
----------------------------------------------------
The New South Wales Government is expected to complete this week
a critical report on the need to cut the costs of James Hardie
Industries' asbestos compensation, reports ABC News Online.

The implementation of the Government review will be the basis
for a multi-million dollar compensation deal with the embattled
asbestos products manufacturer.

Although James Hardie earlier inked an initial accord on an
AU$1.5-billion fund, it is yet to make a provision for meeting
that target. James Hardie said it wants the Government to carry
out its plan to cut legal costs for all parties.

Union and victim group representatives have proposed a protocol
for speedy resolution of claims and the use of dispute
resolution before any court hearing.

The Government has promised to maintain common law rights and
not cap payments to victims of asbestos.

BANK MANDIRI: Owned 30% Stake in Great River
--------------------------------------------
Bank Mandiri formally held 30 percent of troubled PT Great River
International, Asia Pulse reports.

Bank president E.C.W. Neloe said that the Company's founders,
the Sunjoto family, handed over the stake to Bank Mandiri,
making it the Company's only majority shareholder. The bank had
earlier held the stake as collateral when Great River signed for
a loan worth IDR300 billion in 2004.

The Sunjoto family had a prior 51 % majority share in the
Company, before encountering cash flow problems.

Mr. Neloe has denied any allegations regarding the bank's high
number of non-performing loans.

PERTAMINA: Commissioners Removed from Investigation
---------------------------------------------------
Two members of the board of commissioners of Pertamina were
asked not to participate in the investigation of the Company's
alleged collusion in the sale of two oil tankers, the Jakarta
Post reports.

State Minister of State Enterprises Sugiharto asked Roes
Ariawijaya and Iin Arifin Takhyan to abstain from voting in the
decision-making process by the board of commissioners on the
collusion case, to ensure a fair and objective investigation of
the case.

The Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) found
Pertamina guilty of colluding with its business partners in the
sale of two Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) last year, which
caused the state to lose USD50 million. The government asked the
Company's board of commissioners to investigate the case.

According to Mr. Sugiharto, the government will continue its
investigation, but would wait for Company shareholders to meet
and review the board of directors' performance before deciding
whether or not to replace any director. Mr. Sugiharto also said
that there were no political motives for the tanker sale case.

Pertamina's former president director Ariffi Nawawi defended
that the decision to sell the tankers was a business decision,
based on the highest bids and most credible buyer.

Current Company President Widya Purnama said he was unaware of
the finance director's suspension until he read it in
newspapers, but said that the Company would appoint one of the
other directors or himself to take over as finance director.

TOTAL E&P: Court Dismisses Contractors' Claims
----------------------------------------------
A Jakarta court dismissed a bankruptcy petition case against
Total E&P Indonesie on March 8, reports Reuters News.

Contractor firms PT Sanggar Kaltim Jaya and PT Istana Karang
Laut filed the lawsuit against French giant Total S.A.'s
Indonesian unit in January, for failing to pay IDR66.34 billion
for construction of a gas processing plant in Tunu Field, East
Kalimantan.

Mr. Agus Subroto, head of the central Jakarta commercial court
panel, handed down the decision, which would be appealed by the
contractors in the Supreme Court.

According to Total lawyer Todung Mulya Lubis, the Company
welcomed the court's decision, which would improve the country's
investment climate.

DAIEI INCORPORATED: Marubeni-led Group Inks Rehab Deal
------------------------------------------------------
A consortium led by trading house Marubeni Corporation was
officially made the rehabilitation sponsor of ailing Daiei
Incorporated, according to The Japan Times.

After having been selected the winning bidder last week, the
Marubeni-led Group on Monday signed a contract with the
Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan (IRCJ) and Daiei
to support the retail giant's revival.

The consortium, which will invest about JPY62 billion, said it
will get 34.3 percent of the retailer's voting-rights shares,
with another one-third held by the IRCJ and the remainder by
ordinary shareholders.

Meanwhile, Daiei's new board will include Daiei board member
Yoshiaki Takahashi and Daiei project manager Keiji Nakamae, both
of whom are main members of Daiei's internal revitalization
panel set up in January. IRCJ managing directors Shoichiro
Onishi and Masahiro Matsuoka, both 41, will also take posts on
the new board.

The Marubeni-led consortium has recommended Fumiko Hayashi,
former president of BMW Tokyo Corp., to become president, while
the IRCJ wants someone with expertise in finance and
organizational management.

The top post is expected to be filled at the general
shareholders' meeting in May after the IRCJ and the Marubeni-led
group settle the matter.

MITSUBISHI MOTORS: U.S. Unit Ties Up with SIRIUS Satellite Radio
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mitsubishi Motors North America on Monday announced an exclusive
agreement with SIRIUS Satellite Radio to offer satellite radio
as a factory-installed option in various Mitsubishi models.

The first SIRIUS factory-installed option will appear in the
2006 Mitsubishi Raider. The midsize truck, which was recently
unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in
Detroit, will be available in dealer showrooms in the fall of
2005.

"Mitsubishi Motors is pleased to offer premium satellite radio
programming from SIRIUS first on the all-new Raider, one of our
flagship vehicles," said David Schembri, Executive Vice
President of Sales and Marketing.

"As part of our dedication to developing vehicles that are fun
to drive, we are committed to making this unparalleled
entertainment experience available across the Mitsubishi product
line."

SIRIUS will come standard with the Mitsubishi Motors' Premium
Audio System package. All 2006 and 2007 model year SIRIUS-
equipped vehicles will include a six-month, pre-paid
subscription service and free activation.

Mitsubishi drivers will be able to enjoy more than 120 channels
of digital-quality programming including 65 channels of
commercial-free music, plus more than 55 channels of news,
weather, traffic, information, comedy entertainment and sports,
such as the entire NFL live "play-by-play" game lineup; NBA

SOJITZ HOLDINGS: S&P Raises Rating to BB-, Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its long-term
corporate credit ratings on Sojitz Corp., a subsidiary of Sojitz
Holdings Corporation, to 'BB-' from 'B+'. The outlook on the
rating on Sojitz is stable.

"The rating action reflects the gradually improving financial
profiles of the Japanese GTCs, with evidence of an upswing in
operating profit supported by their progress in restructuring
unprofitable businesses, and sound performance in their trading
of energy and metal businesses," said Ryoji Yoshizawa, a credit
analyst at Standard & Poor's.

"In addition, the GTCs have successfully implemented risk
management measures on their investment and lending activities,
thereby improving the balance between capital and risks," Mr.
Yoshizawa added.

In the medium- to long-term, Standard & Poor's expects the GTCs
to continue to pursue strategies to enhance their core
profitability, after deducting credit costs and devaluation
losses from securities holdings and fixed assets.

Nevertheless, pressure on the GTCs' profitability and capital
remain. Challenges for the companies include the long-term slide
in domestic land prices, and their high level of unfunded
pension liabilities, which may require them to make provisions
or cover the cost of devaluations in the future.

Given the GTCs' large debt compared with their capital and
vulnerability to external conditions, further improvement in
their credit quality will depend on an improvement in the
balance between investment and loan risks and capital. Important
factors will be their ability to constrain credit costs and
raise capital levels sufficient to absorb potential losses,
while enhancing the profitability of their core businesses.

Sojitz Corp. implemented debt restructuring in 2004, including
loan waivers from key creditor banks. Through the restructuring,
the Company's asset quality and net debt-to-equity ratio
improved significantly. Asset quality and profitability are
expected to continue to improve. However, its quality of
capitalization is still weak, consisting largely of preferred
stock. In addition, Sojitz faces the task of rebuilding its
eroded customer base and business profile, which is currently
weak compared with its peers in areas such as energy and metal.

Rating on the long-term senior debt issued by Sojitz has been
rated one and two notches higher than their respective long-term
issuer rating, reflecting the assumption that bondholders would
not incur losses from any default since their creditor banks
would offer debt forgiveness.

Standard & Poor's maintains the notching degree from the issuer
credit ratings, and therefore the rating on the Company's long-
term senior debt was raised to 'BB+'.

Sumitomo Trust has lodged a damages suit naming UFJ Holdings and
its core trust and commercial banking units as defendants. The
plaintiff requested JPY100 billion in compensation from the
three UFJ firms for their failure to honor the basic agreement.

In May last year, UFJ agreed to sell its trust unit to Sumitomo
Trust, but abruptly withdrew the deal when it decided to accept
a full takeover by Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group (MTFG).

Sumitomo Trust has already asked a court to stop UFJ from
including the trust subsidiary in its merger with MTFG.

A decision has not yet been reached in that case, and a Sumitomo
Trust spokesman said the bank would continue to seek the
injunction while at the same time demanding compensation from
UFJ.

* S&P Says Restructuring Boosts Credit Quality of Paper Firms
-------------------------------------------------------------
Major Japanese paper companies have strengthened their financial
positions through restructuring and industry consolidation,
according to a report released today by Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services.

The report follows the March 2, 2005 upgrades on Oji Paper Co.
Ltd. (BBB-/Stable/--) and Nippon Paper Group Inc. (BB+/Stable/--
) along with its major subsidiary Nippon Paper Industries Co.
Ltd. (BB+/Stable/--).

Japanese paper producers primarily serve the domestic market,
which is large enough to absorb all of their output. The
companies are able to satisfy specific requests from domestic
customers through strong product quality, stable supply, and
flexible delivery systems. And since the domestic distribution
network is very complicated, it is not easy for foreign
competitors to enter the Japanese market.

Furthermore, industry consolidation since the 1990s has led to
an oligopoly situation, which has eased the competitive
environment. As a result of the industry's efforts to reduce
capital expenditure and excess capacity, production efficiency
has improved while prices have stabilized.

"The major Japanese paper companies have stable profitability,
as they have a wide product mix, and they serve a diverse
customer base," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Eiro
Taniguchi.

"At the same time, given that the domestic paper and paperboard
markets are mature, producers have started to enter the Chinese
market, which has significant growth potential," Mr. Taniguchi
added.

Although both Oji Paper and Nippon Paper Group have already
started to establish production facilities in China, the risk is
limited as they maintain a cautious investment strategy there.
Leading foreign paper manufacturers have started expanding their
production capabilities in China, which could increase the
chances of a glut there that could spill over into the Japanese
market.

Economies of scale are advantageous in the paper industry, so
further integration is likely among the second-tier companies.
As merged companies reduce their capital expenditure and excess
capacity, overall production becomes more efficient, leading to
more stable prices in the industry.

Both Oji Paper and Nippon Paper Group have stated that debt
reduction is a priority, and they are expected to continue to
improve their financial profiles. Although the full impact from
expanded production in China remains unclear, the credit
qualities of Oji Paper and Nippon Paper Group are expected to
remain stable.

COLLEGE ASSURANCE: Planholders Respond to Mayor's Call
------------------------------------------------------
Around nine College Assurance Plans Philippines (CAP)
policyholders in Angeles City have decided to accept Mayor
Carmelo Lazatin's offer to help solve their dilemma, SunStar
reports.

Mayor Lazatin reportedly issued an announcement calling on CAP
scholarship planholders to determine the effect of CAP's alleged
capital deficiencies on local citizens. He invited CAP
policyholders to register at the city hall and vowed to take
necessary action to protect them and find ways to ensure
continued education for the beneficiaries.

In line with this, Mr. Lazatin also started coordinating with
concerned agencies of the National Government to prevent the
deprivation of the CAP scholars of their right to continuous
education.

The city information officer, Irish C. Calaguas, announced that
city officials welcome all CAP policyholders who may report and
register at the Office of the Mayor at City Hall.

MANILA ELECTRIC: To Continue Sourcing Power from Napocor
--------------------------------------------------------
Manila Electric Company (Meralco) has received an order from the
Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) to continue sourcing power
from the National Power Corporation until a new transition
supply contract (TSC) is inked, says The Philippine Star.

Since the two power firms have not yet entered into another TSC
after their 10-year contract expired in December, the ERC is
mandating Napocor not to charge Meralco any penalties until a
TSC agreement is reached.

Napocor is required to submit a TSC with ERC under Republic Act
9136 or the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA).

Napocor was supposed to file with the ERC for approval TSCs duly
negotiated with the distribution utilities, including Meralco,
within six months from the effectivity of the Act or in December
2001.

The ERC did not require Napocor and Meralco then to enter into a
TSC since they have a pending application for a settlement
agreement under a 10-year supply contract which expired last
December 2004. The ERC has yet to approve the proposed
settlement agreement by the two power firms.

Meralco is now sourcing the bulk of its power requirement from
its independent power producers (IPPs) which resulted to a 37.5
centavo rate reduction in the electricity being paid in
Meralco's franchise areas.

applicant Manila Electric Company (Meralco) on January 31, 2005
praying that the implementation of the directive for it to
charge its customers franchise taxes based only on its

further deferred and/or held in abeyance in view of the absence
of the Department of Finance (DOF) guidelined to implement the
same.

NATIONAL STEEL: New Owner Vows to Start Operations This Year
------------------------------------------------------------
National Steel Corporation will finally begin commercial
operations in June or July, five years after it was closed in
1999, according to Business World.

National Steel's new owner, Global Steelworks International
Inc., has reportedly informed government officials its intention
to go full-blast in about three months.

The start National Steel's full operation is expected to prompt
the imposition of the approved tariff rate increase on hot and
cold rolled coils that will be produced by the Company.

The Cabinet-level Tariff and Related Matters committee is
expected to soon "validate" Global Steelwork's performance to
see if it deserves to be given tariff cover.

A special committee of experts has been gathered to establish
parameters that will indicate whether or not Global Steelworks
is operating commercially.

PHILIPPINE LONG: Pioneers Wireless Broadband Mobility Solution
--------------------------------------------------------------
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) has broken new
ground in wireless Internet access through a new service that
offers cost-effective wireless connectivity for small and medium
enterprises and large corporations with remote offices and road
warriors.

Called PLDT WeRoam, the new service allows for unmatched
mobility for a Company's workforce while ensuring reliable local
area network (LAN) and Internet connectivity without the burden
of unwieldy wires.

"For a Company with mobile employees, this service could
potentially redound to increased efficiency and consequently
improved revenues," said Senior Vice President and Head of the
Corporate Business Group Eric R. Alberto.

"Even for a Company that has not given mobility much thought,
PLDT WeRoam opens up possibilities. All this without having to
depend on and get tied down by a wired network," he added.

"The big idea is that with PLDT WeRoam, you are not just in
control of your business. More importantly, you are in control
of your life, " Mr. Alberto further said.

The service offers four packages that will cater to various
needs of the client. These are PLDT WeRoam Mobile (with
Internet), PLDT WeRoam Mobile (with VPN-Virtual Private
Network), PLDT WeRoam Direct (with LAN connection to the global
Internet), and PLDT WeRoam Direct (with LAN to LAN connection).

PLDT WeRoam Mobile will employ GPRS (General Packet Radio
Service) and EDGE (Enhanced Data for Global Evolution)
technologies, providing speeds of up to 170 kilobits per second
(kbps) and nationwide cellsite-to-cellsite handover for a
seamless connection while on the move.

CHARTERED SEMICONDUCTOR: Offers USB Comprehensive Portfolio
-----------------------------------------------------------
Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing, Chipidea and Solid
Silicon Technology L.L.C. (SST) advised the Singapore Stock
Exchange of an immediate availability of a comprehensive
portfolio of USB 2.0 and USB 2.0 On-The-Go (OTG) intellectual
property (IP) solutions based on Chartered's 0.13-micron nominal
and high-performance processes, and 0.18-micron processes.

The portfolio of USB 2.0 IP solutions developed for Chartered's
processes are tuned to products requiring high-speed
connectivity such as digital set-top boxes, digital still
cameras and a range of multi-media consumer, computer and
communication products.

The USB 2.0 and USB 2.0 OTG IP solutions integrate Chipidea's
UTMI+ compliant physical layer (PHY) with SST's five-volt
tolerant input/output (I/O) pads with primary electrostatic
discharge (ESD) protection. Silicon results are available and
demonstrate outstanding performance based on silicon validation
of the high-speed 480Mbps USB 2.0 test chip on Chartered's 0.13-
micron high-performance process1.

As a complete solution ready for chip integration, Chipidea
provides system designers with an integrated macro-cell with PHY
and I/O pads, enabling them to use the I/O pad ring of their
choice. The deliverables include a full set of documentation
with testing and integration guidelines, a comprehensive design
kit and a dedicated support team from Chipidea to facilitate
implementation. Alternatively, designers can separately license
Chipidea's PHY or SST's I/O pad as stand-alone cells to build
custom solutions. SST also offers I/O libraries that are
compatible with the integrated USB 2.0 IP solutions to ensure
robust ESD performance.

"Chartered is pleased to extend our open access IP portfolio
with USB 2.0 solutions from Chipidea and SST, both having
demonstrated excellent track records in on-time delivery and
first-pass silicon success for their IP solutions," said Walter
Ng, senior director of Design Services at Chartered. "We are
actively working with customers who are integrating the USB 2.0
solutions into their high-speed connectivity products for
manufacturing at Chartered, reflecting the market demand as well
as customer confidence in the combined solutions to enable a
reliable path to volume production."

"SST's innovative I/O pad architectures and robust ESD solutions
have been utilized by system design teams worldwide. Our
collaboration with Chipidea and Chartered further extends a
complete portfolio of integrated high-performance analog pad set
solutions tuned to products with USB and other high-speed
connectivity interfaces," said Robert L. Veal, Business
Operations at SST.

"As these solutions leverage a uniform pad set, designers would
also benefit from the ability to adapt their products across a
range of process technologies available from Chartered."

"Chipidea understands the added value of supplying complete USB
solutions to the market through complementing our core
competencies with quality third-party IPs and proven foundry
manufacturing capabilities," said Milton Sousa, Business
Development Manager of IP Connectivity Solutions Division at
Chipidea.

"We are therefore pleased to have qualified our solutions with
Chartered across multiple process generations and selected SST
to be our I/O pad supplier of choice based on quality standards,
support level and reputation."

CHINA AVIATION (S): Deutsche Bank Willing to Buy Debt
-----------------------------------------------------
Deutsche Bank AG is planning to buy China Aviation Oil (S)
Corp.'s (CAO) $530 million debt from creditors, Reuters relates.
The bank plans to take over CAO's total debt by paying 40
percent of the amount owed.

According to an e-mail sent by Deutshe Bank to a creditor, it is
willing to pay for the purchase up front.  But the bank's Hong
Kong-based spokesman, Mike West, did not give out a comment.

CAO offered creditors 41.5 cents for every dollar owed in
January, including $100 million cash and $120 million over eight
years as part of its move to stay afloat.

"What would you rather have, the money today or over time?"
Reuters quoted Michael Preiss, senior investment adviser at
Coutts Bank (Schweiz) AG in Singapore as saying.

"Deutsche Bank is probably taking the view that their assets are
worth more. Somewhere in their books, there might be some hidden
gems." Mr. Preiss added.

CAO is currently battling a judicial management petition filed
by SK Energy in the Singapore High Court.
