QANTAS AIRWAYS: Strikebreakers Brace for Action
-----------------------------------------------
Qantas Airways' army of strikebreaking flight attendants is
preparing for action for the second time in four months, The Age
says.

The national flag carrier has reassembled its strikebreaking
team amid fierce union resistance over budget subsidiary
Australian Airlines' plan to hire lower paid Asian cabin crews
and force its 300 Cairns-based crews to flew longer routes
without extra pay.

The threat of Australian Airlines being hit by industrial
stoppages has risen after the Flight Attendants Association of
Australia (FAAA) failed to respond to an airline-imposed
deadline on Friday that demanded big changes to the working
conditions of its crews.

FAAA Secretary Micahel Mijatov, however, declined to say  
whether the union was preparing for a strike over the breakdown
in talks on an enterprise bargaining agreement.

The strikebreakers, believed to come from the same pool Qantas
hired to head off an industrial action last year, are being paid
AU$1000 a week to be on standby.

TOWER SUPERB: ASIC Approves Trust Refund
----------------------------------------
Some 3000 members of the now-defunct Tower Superb Master Trust
will receive a check in the mail after the Company discovered it
had underpaid members due to "administrative errors", according
to The Age.

Tower Australia has agreed with the Australian Securities and
Investments Commission (ASIC) that it should pay compensation
totaling AU$1 million to members affected by the errors. The
average payout will be AU$350.

The Company's chief executive of risk, David Callander, said
Tower approached ASIC and the Australian Prudential Regulation
Authority in May last year after it discovered the mistakes
during a two-year campaign to identify potential problems.

As part of its enforceable undertaking with ASIC, Tower is
required to notify and compensate all members affected by the
error and engage an independent compliance consultant to review
the compensation methodology to ensure all members are correctly
paid.

Tower will send letters to affected members and has also set up
a hotline: 1800 812 922.

WALTER CONSTRUCTION: Management Buy-out Could Save Mining Arm
-------------------------------------------------------------
A management buy-out backed by a private equity fund Helsman
Capital is tipped to rescue the mining division of failed Walter
Construction, relates The Australian.

Due diligence is set to completed this week. The sale price has
not been finalized but is likely to exceed the division's
estimated AU$5.5 million in worker entitlement liabilities, and
AU$8million to AU$10 million in plant and equipment.

The sale of the mining division is the major obstacle to the
wind-up of Walter Construction, expected at a second creditors'
meeting planned for March 30 by administrators KordaMentha.

Liquidation of the Company would allow processing of
applications for payment of 349 retrenched Walter employees
under the federal Government's General Employee Entitlements and
Redundancy (GEER) scheme.

BANK PERMATA: Moody's Considers Possible Upgrade
------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has placed the "E" bank financial
strength rating of Bank Permata on review for possible upgrade.
The bank's deposit ratings are unaffected.

The review will consider the improving financial condition of
the bank's post-merger, as well as the impact of the
shareholding change on the bank's franchise. Given the
reputation of the consortium, Standard Chartered Bank (rated A2)
in particular, Moody's expect anticipated support -- financial
and technical -- to be strong.

The consortium has not yet unveiled its plans, but the rating
agency expects substantial upgrading and strategic measures,
given the strategic nature and amount of the investment.
Permata's size may constraint its ability to develop a
sustainable franchise in the changing and competitive operating
environment.

Nonetheless, prospects for the bank seem brighter and an
enhancement to the franchise and improvements in financial
fundamentals would put upward pressure on its bank financial
strength rating.

Finally, the backing of a financially strong and reputable
consortium provides greater comfort of available support. Due to
Permata's size as Indonesia's seventh largest bank, it may also
be considered to have relatively lower systemic importance and
hence, support.

Bank Permata was formed in September 2002 from the amalgamation
of four banks -- Bank Universal, Bank Patriot, Bank Prima
Express and Bank Artamedia -- into Bank Bali. Pre-crisis, Bank
Bali was one of the strongest banks in Indonesia, with
profitable niches in trade finance, middle-market lending and
retail banking. It was taken over by the Indonesian Bank
Restructuring Agency during the financial crisis in 1999.

In October 2004, a consortium -- comprising Standard Chartered
PLC and Indonesian car manufacturer Astra International --
acquired 51% of Permata from the Indonesian Bank Restructuring
Agency. As of end-2004, this stake increased to 63.1%. Both
Standard Chartered and Astra hold equal stakes in the
consortium.

Today, the combined entity is the seventh largest bank in the
country with a 3% share of system deposits.

The following rating is on review for possible upgrade:

Bank financial strength rating of E.

The following ratings are unaffected:

Long-term/short-term deposit ratings of B3/Not-Prime. The long-
term rating carries a positive outlook and the short-term
stable.

DIRGANTARA INDONESIA: Land Dispute May Hurt Business
----------------------------------------------------
PT Dirgantara Indonesia (DI) is worried about the possible
effects of the land dispute between Indonesia and Malaysia,
reports Khalsa Business News.

According to DI President Edwin Sudarmo, political developments
in the state has great influence on the airline business. The
airline fears the conflict over the offshore area of Ambalat in
East Kalimatan could cancel planned aircraft sales to Malaysia.

Mr. Sudarmo said that Malaysia had bought 6 units of a military
type aircraft from DI (CN 235), with 2 more units scheduled for
delivery, but did not push through in its plans to buy 5
helicopters from the firm when former president Abduracchamn
defended former Vice Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

Malaysia is planning to buy eight more CN235 units from DI this
year, valued at IDR1.13 trillion. The firm aims to increase
earnings through sales of spare parts and charging fees for
CN235 aircraft maintenance.

PERTAMINA: Goldman Sachs Challenges Court Ruling
------------------------------------------------
PT Pertamina's business consultant Goldman Sachs will challenge
the Business Competition Supervisory Commission's (KPPU) ruling
declaring the firm guilty of collusion in the sale of
Pertamina's two tankers, reports the Jakarta Post.

Goldman Sachs lawyer Todung Mulya Lubis said that his client
firm dismissed the ruling, saying that it followed international
standards and regulations in conducting the sale, and that they
will file an objection as soon as they can.

According to Mr. Todung, since Pertamina appointed Goldman Sachs
as consultant for the tanker sale, the final decision (and its
outcome) ultimately rests with Pertamina, and not the
consultant.

Last March 4, KPPU ruled that Goldman Sachs and another firm,
Frontline Ltd., colluded with Pertamina in the sale of
Pertamina's two Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) tankers worth
IDR1.73 trillion, which cost the state IDR469.4 billion in
losses.

KKPU had discovered that Goldman Sachs received a final bid from
Frontline Ltd. after the deadline for all bids had passed. The
two firms were ordered to pay IDR19.7 billion and IDR25 billion
in fines, respectively, and IDR60 billion and IDR120 billion,
respectively.

SEMEN GRESIK: States Seeks Out-of-Court Settlement with Cemex
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Indonesian government intends to settle its dispute with
Cemex Asia on the suit filed by Cemex over Indonesia's Semen
Gresik, Khalsa Business News reports.

However, Cemex Asia said it would proceed to settle the case in
arbitration court.

Cemex, which currently owns 25.5 % of Semen Gresik, had
previously filed a suit against the government for failure to
meet a contract allowing the firm to acquire more stake in the
state-owned cement factory.

The Mexican firm later withheld the suit in hopes to settle the
case out of court, but failed to reach an agreement with the
government before the Feb. 28 deadline set by Cemex.

The arbitration proceeding is scheduled to take place six months
from Cemex's re-filing of the suit in court.

DAIEI INCORPORATED: May Quit Hokkaido, Tohoku Ops
-------------------------------------------------
Daiei Incorporated may pull out its businesses in the Hokkaido
and Tohoku region as part of a revival scheme, which is subject
to approval by its rehabilitation sponsors, The Japan Times
reports.

The bailout plan designed by the state-backed Industrial
Revitalization Corporation of Japan (IRCJ) had considered a
partial withdrawal from Northern Japan. However, the consortium
led by Marubeni Corporation and Advantage Partners Inc. is
reportedly mulling on making additional store closures.

The IRCJ's rehabilitation plan calls for Daiei to close 53
stores nationwide, including two in Hokkaido. The program also
requires Daiei not to open any new stores in Hokkaido.
Meanwhile, only two Daiei outlets in Tohoku would remain.

Last week the Marubeni-Advantage Partners group formally inked a
contract with the IRCJ to sponsor the rebuilding of the
struggling retail giant, Daiei.

-----------------------------------------------------
The Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan (IRCJ) and
the rehabilitation sponsors of Daiei Incorporated will start
reviewing the ailing retailer's revival program this week,
according to Jiji Press.

The state-backed corporate turnaround body and the Marubeni-
Advantage Partners consortium will conduct the review from a
viewpoint of concentrating Daiei's business resources on its
core service areas.

An IRCJ executive said that the corporate turnaround body is
ready to accept a partial review of the program based on a
request by the two sponsor firms as long as the framework of
IRCJ's original plan is maintained.


KOBE STEEL: Ups Earnings Forecast for Fiscal 2004
-------------------------------------------------
Kobe Steel, Ltd. announced 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

Japan's economy in fiscal 2004 has been improving, but is now
leveling off. Although strong exports and higher private-sector
capital investment are contributing to the upswing, oil prices
are escalating and inventory adjustments in the IT industry are
cause for concern. Domestic demand for steel in the second half
of the fiscal year, mainly from the shipbuilding, automotive and
other manufacturing industries, is expected to be higher than in
the first half.

Overseas demand primarily from Japanese transplants for high-
quality steel, a product area in which Japanese steelmakers are
focusing on, is expected to continue being strong. Under these
conditions, Japan's total crude steel production is anticipated
to exceed 113 million metric tons in fiscal 2004.

On this background, Kobe Steel's shipments of steel products in
the second half of the fiscal year are forecast to be higher
than in the first half. Sales prices, too, have risen both in
Japan and overseas, due to the tight supply, strong demand and
high raw material prices. In Kobe Steel's Machinery segment,
orders for direct reduction plants using the MIDREX Process
owned by Kobe Steel are anticipated to increase license income
for the process.

As a result, consolidated net sales are forecast to increase
JPY10 billion from the previous forecast in November 2004 to
approximately JPY1.45 trillion. Pretax ordinary income (also
called pretax recurring profit) is anticipated to increase JPY5
billion from the previous forecast to JPY110 billion.

Inventories at Kobe Steel's works and plants in its Iron & Steel
and Aluminum & Copper segments are valued using the last-in,
first-out method. However, moving toward international
accounting standards, Kobe Steel plans to adopt the average
method from fiscal 2005, ending March 2006. Due to this change,
unrealized loss will arise from inventories in which the market
value is below the book value. Preceding this change, Kobe Steel
plans to post an extraordinary loss of JPY10 billion for a
write-down of inventories in fiscal 2004 to maintain its
financial health.

Consequently, consolidated net income is projected to be
approximately JPY50 billion, unchanged from the previous
forecast.

Dividends

Taking into consideration the Company's business performance and
retained earnings in fiscal 2004, it was decided at the Board of
Directors' meeting today to propose at the ordinary
shareholders' meeting that a dividend of JPY3 per share be paid
for the fiscal year.

TOWA CORPORATION: R&I Affirms BBB-: Towa Corp. Senior L-T Debt
--------------------------------------------------------------
Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I) has affirmed the
following ratings on Towa Corporation.

Senior Long-term Credit Rating
R&I RATING: BBB- (Affirmed)
RATING OUTLOOK: Negative

RATIONALE:

TOWA is a leading manufacturer of semi-conductor packaging and
automolding systems. It has a broad clientele, primarily
specialist Taiwanese semi-conductor fabricators. Although TOWA
has made progress in improving its business, the start up of the
Chinese plant in which it invested as a manufacturing base has
been delayed, and the Company was unable to secure adequate
earnings during the favourable in calendar 2004.

TOWA's profit ratio is now on the rise due to improving profits
and undertaking outsourced operations. However, orders for the
entire semiconductor manufacturing equipment industry are
falling, and it is possible that earnings will not recover as
expected. The Company's equity capital has been undermined by
past deficits, and the debt is on the rise. The Company's rating
is conditional on securing a certain level of earnings despite
the downturn in market conditions by shortening production lead
time and improving productivity.

R&I RATINGS:

ISSUER: Towa Corp. (Sec. Code: 6315)
Senior Long-term Credit Rating: BBB- (Affirmed)
RATING OUTLOOK: Negative

An R&I Senior Long-term Credit Rating is an opinion regarding an
issuer's overall capacity to pay its entire financial
obligations, without taking into account the degree of recovery
of specific obligations.

A Senior Long-term Credit Rating will be assigned to all
issuers. Ratings for individual issues may differ from the
Senior Long-term Credit Rating depending on the terms and
conditions of the issue.

* Corporate Bankruptcies Down for 26th Straight Month
-----------------------------------------------------
The number of corporate bankruptcies in Japan dipped 12.6
percent in February from the same month a year ago, marking the
26th straight month of decline, reports The Associated Press.

Data compiled by Teikoku Databank Limited revealed a total of
1,056 companies fell into bankruptcy last month with combined
debts totaling JPY808.29 billion (US$7.77 billion), down 25.8
percent from a year earlier. In February last year, some 1, 208
firms collapsed, leaving behind JPY1.089 trillion (US$10.47
billion) in debt.

The private research agency said the decline is mainly due
government programs designed to extend financial help to smaller
corporations.

After more than a decade-long stagnation, the Japanese economy
has been striving to recover over the last two years on the back
of exports to the U.S. and the rest of Asia, though sluggish
consumer spending has prevented a sustained recovery.

Last month, 799 companies were driven into bankruptcy by
recession-related factors, accounting for 75.7 percent of total
bankruptcy cases.

LG CARD: Interested Buyer Thinks Value is "Too High"
----------------------------------------------------
Hana Bank has prioritized bidding for embattled LG Card, but has
said that the firm's KRW4 trillion market value is too high,
reports Reuters News.

After a possible takeover of asset manager Daehan Investment &
Securities, the bank is eyeing LG Card to improve its credit
card business, as well as looking into buying another bank,
Korea Exchange Bank.

According to bank deputy president Kim Jong-yeol, they can't
afford LG Card's current market price, but a capital write-down
at the firm would give it better value.

Hana Bank put first priority on Daehan Investment and LG Card,
before seeking mergers and acquisitions with other firms.

MANILA ELECTRIC: To Seek Reversal for Government Penalty
--------------------------------------------------------
The Manila Electric Company (Meralco) has received a notice from
the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) penalizing the Company in
the amount of Php348,900 for alleged violation of ERC Order,
Rules and Regulations for undertaking the following distribution
projects:

(1) Unloading of Gaya-Gaya Bank No. 1
(2) Flexibility Improvement of Taguig 49ZL and Dolores 44XM
(3) Unloading of North Port 405H

the projects but was not immediately granted. Pending approval,
the Company was constrained to proceed with the construction due
to its urgency to provide sufficient, reliable and adequate
electric service in the areas affected.

METRO PACIFIC: Narrows Net Loss to Php244.8 Mln in 2004
-------------------------------------------------------
Metro Pacific Corporation (PSE:MPC) on Friday reported an
unaudited net loss of Php244.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004, a significant improvement from the Php837.9
million loss recorder for 2003. The improvement can be
attributed to reduced operating expenses, financing charges and
reversals of prior provisions.

Consolidated revenues stood at Php3.3 billion for 2004, compares
with Php4.0 billion for 2003. The decline resulted from lower
revenues at Negros Navigation Company (Nenaco), the effect of
the deconsolidation of Bonifacio Land Corporation from Metro
Pacific accounts and slightly reduced revenues realized by
Landco Pacific Corporation (Landco) and Pacific Plaza Towers
(PPT).

Operating expenses declined significantly to Php684.7 million in
2004, compared with Pho860.6 million in 2003. Financing charges
were similarly reduced to Php527.0 million in 2004 compared with
Php763.6 million in 2003, mainly due to various debt settlement
agreements achieved during the course of the year.

Metro Pacific declared itself to be in a self-administered debt
workout scenario from late 2001, when its parent Company bank
debts stood at approximately Php11.7 billion. By the end of
2004, Metro Pacific had achieved debt settlement agreements with
various creditors that retired Php10.4 billion of its total
debt, leaving debts as at year-end 2004 of approximately Php1.3
billion only - 11.0 percent of the 2001 debt level.

2005 Outlook

With Metro Pacific's debt reduction program almost completed,
management believes a foundation is being built to revitalize
its business operations and prepare for renewed growth. It is
envisioned that further debt reduction will be realized in the
course of 2005, such that Metro Pacific's debt level will
stabilize at around Php350.0 million before the end of the year.
Metro Pacific has also become increasingly engaged with CITRA
Metro Manila Tollways Corporation (CMMTC), of which it is a
minority investor and for which Metro Pacific President and CEO
Jose Ma. K. Li, is concurrent President and CEO. Metro Pacific
believes its involvement with infrastructure projects generally,
and CMMTC particularly, represent a prime area of future growth
for the Company.

billion debt of PhilCom that has burdened the holding firm's
books APC expects the sale to boost its net worth by over Php4
billion.

percent stake in PhilCom, has been booking negative
stockholders' equity due to the losses of the unit. Its third
quarter report to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) showed
that the holding Company has a negative net worth of Php7.425
billion.

SANITARY WARES: Insolvency Case Pending Before Insolvency Court
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is in reference to the news article entitled "Saniware
shareholders say firm not insolvent" published in the March 11,
2005 of The Manila Times.

The article reported that:

"SANITARY Wares Manufacturing Corporation (Saniware) 'is not
insolvent,' according to the lawsuit filed by its minority
shareholders, who said they would also be filing a case against
Saniware's parent Company, U.S.-based American Standard Group.

"The shareholders said they will file the suit at the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission since the firm is listed in
the U.S. American Standard owns 67.51 percent of Saniware and is
also its major creditor. Earlier, a petition was filed before
the Las Pinas Regional Trial Court by minority shareholders, who
said 'the filing of the insolvency proceedings and registration
of American Standard Group.'

"The Tieng family, G.D. Tan and Co.'s KLG International and
Solar Resources have filed the case in behalf of Saniware's
minority shareholders, including the Government Service
Insurance System, which bought 10 percent of Saniwares.

"According to the petition, the Company also has no basis for
calling it quits since it has not defaulted on any of its loans,
and has even availed itself of a credit facility with its major
depository bank for Php119 million. Another issue raised by the
minority group is that 80.5 percent of Saniware's debt worth
Php548.9 million is owed to its majority shareholder, American
Standard, which decided to stop lending to the firm."

In reply to the Exchange's query on the matter, Sanitary Wares
Manufacturing Corporation (the Company), in its letter dated
March 14, 2005, disclosed that:

"We reiterate that proceedings in respect of the Company's
insolvency are currently pending before Branch 253 of the
Regional trial Court of Las Pinas City (the Insolvency Court).
On March 4, 2005, the Company received an Opposition to the
Insolvency Petition of the Company filed by Willy Tieng, William
Tieng, Wilson Tieng, G.D. Tan & Company Inc., KLG International
Inc. and Solar Resources Inc. The subject of the newspaper
report is thus within the jurisdiction of the Insolvency Court.

"The Opposition was heard by the Insolvency Court on March 7,
2005. However, the Insolvency Court proceeded to the appointment
of an assignee, without prejudice to the Opposition. The Company
will continue to make the appropriate disclosures upon the
occurrence of any material developments."

IPCO INTERNATIONAL: Concludes IPO Preparations
----------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of Ipco International Limited advised the
Singapore Stock Exchange that subsequent to its successful
acquisition on April 7, 2004 of a 62.5% equity interest in ESA
Electronics Pte Ltd (ESA) from its three founders, Chan Wai Yin,
Chng Peng Hion and Koh William, and another existing
shareholder, Aehr Test Systems Inc (the Acquisition), the
Company, together with ESA, has since completed preparations to
undertake an Initial Public Offering of new ESA shares (IPO) and
procure the listing and admission of the ESA shares to the
Official List of the SGX-SESDAQ (the Proposed Listing).

The Board is pleased to announce that the listing application
for ESA has been submitted to the Singapore Exchange Securities
Trading Limited (SGX-ST).

Rationale For The IPO And Proposed Listing

The Directors believe that the Proposed Listing will not only
enhance the public image of the ESA Group, but will also
strengthen the financial position and business prospects of the
ESA Group for the following reasons:

(a) With its own listing, ESA will be able to gain financial
autonomy and direct access to capital markets. The Proposed
Listing will enable ESA to potentially tap into the capital
markets to fund its existing operations and future expansion
plans;

(b) A separate listing for ESA will enable investors to evaluate
the business of ESA independently from that of the Ipco Group,
thereby better reflecting the underlying value and growth
potential of ESA's business;

(c) A separate listing for ESA is also aimed at providing
incentive to the management team of the ESA Group to pursue
expansion and growth of the ESA Group's business by facilitating
the measurement of the performance of ESA's management team
independently from the Ipco Group.

With the trading liquidity of the ESA Shares after its status as
a public listed Company, the ESA Group will also be able to more
effectively implement its ESA ESOS, which is an incentive for
its management and employees, as well as to attract more
qualified professionals to join the ESA Group.

Following the Proposed Listing of ESA on the SGX-SESDAQ, the ESA
Group will be more financially independent. Hence, the Company
will be able to more efficiently channel its resources to focus
on its existing businesses and concentrate on future expansion
plans.

Conditions Precedent

The IPO and Proposed Listing is subject to, inter alia, the
following:

(a) The receipt of the letter from the SGX-ST of ESA's
eligibility-to-list on the SGX-SESDAQ;

(b) The approval of Shareholders and an Extraordinary General
Meeting (EGM) to be convened;

(c) The lodging and registration of the Prospectus with the
Monetary Authority of Singapore;

(d) The prevailing market conditions;

(e) The final approval of the directors of both the Company and
ESA closer to the launch of the IPO; and

(f) The obligations of the underwriter and placement agent of
the IPO under the underwriting and placement agreement in
connection with the IPO becoming unconditional and not being
terminated in accordance with the terms of such underwriting and
placement agreement or otherwise.

Shareholders' Approval Pursuant To Rule 805 of The SGX-ST
Listing Manual

As the listing of ESA will be through the public offering of new
ESA shares, Ipco's shareholding in ESA is anticipated to be
diluted from 62.5% to 44.1%.

Pursuant to Rule 805 (2) of the SGX-ST listing manual, the
dilution of more than 20% in a principal subsidiary of the
Company will require Shareholders approval. In view of this, a
Shareholders' circular containing relevant information relating
to the IPO and Proposed Listing will be dispatched in due course
to Shareholders seeking their approval for such resolutions to
be proposed at an EGM, which will be scheduled accordingly.

The Board will make an announcement on the notice of the EGM
when appropriate.

Others

As the IPO and Proposed Listing is at a preliminary stage and is
subject to approval from the relevant authorities, Shareholders
should exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the
Company. The Company will make further announcements on the
details of the IPO and Proposed Listing when appropriate.

KRUNG THAI: To Ratify Approval of Transfer of Debtors to TAMC
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of Krung Thai Bank Public Co. Ltd. at its
meeting No. 15/2544 (576) on October 17, 2001, passed its
resolution to ratify the approval of the transfer of all
substandard debtors to TAMC.

It is stipulated in the Thai Asset Management Corporation Royal
Ordinance B.E. 2544 (2001), Section 30 that a financial
institution or assets management Company with the Financial
Institutions Development Fund or any combined government
agencies or state enterprises as its shareholders holding more
than fifty percent of paid-up registered capital shall transfer
all its substandard assets as at December 31, 2000 to the Thai
Asset Management Corporation (TAMC) within the period of time
specified by the TAMC.

Initially there will be about 60,000 cases/debtors and THB80,000
million of outstanding debts in total. Of these figures, the
Bank already transferred them 27 times. As for the 28th transfer
scheduled for March 15, 2005, it consists of the following
details:

Serial  Date  Number of  Book Value  Transfer   Transfer
number        cases      in          Price in      price to
                                  Million Baht  Million Baht  
                                                Outstanding

28  15 March 2005  3     64.72       34.83          53.81%

Note: Information on transfer as at March 15, 2005 is estimated
figures since it is still in the transfer process and for the
following transfer, exact date and amount have not been fixed  
yet.

Upon the Bank's transfer of substandard debtors to TAMC, it has
to completely verify the asset prices to be initially repaid
within 180 days.

If TAMC sees that such prices are correct, it will issue a
letter confirming the asset prices to be primarily paid to the
Bank within 7 days.

Concerning method of payment, TAMC will issue a nontransferable
promissory note on which the following details will be
specified:

- Amount of money according to the price of asset transferred to
TAMC

- Promissory note (P/N) issuing date according to the date of
asset transfer and due date of repayment upon the expiration of
10 years from the P/N issuing date with an aval by the Financial
Institutions Development Fund.

However, TAMC may exercise its right to redeem the P/N before
its maturity.

As for interest payment, TAMC will pay the interest on P/N to
the Bank according to the average interest on deposit by
calculating the interest as at the last working day of the year.

In addition, the above transactions are categorized as related-
party transactions but they are exempted according to Clause 8
(1) of the announcement of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET)
governing disclosure of related-party transactions, and the size
of the transaction when being fully transferred according to the
estimate will account for the rate of approximately 8.22 % of
the Banks total assets whereby the Bank does not have to comply
with the SET's announcement governing the acquisition or
disposal of assets of a registered Company.

Please be informed accordingly.

Yours sincerely,
