EVANS & TATE: Defends Big Cash Payouts
--------------------------------------
Embattled wine maker Evans & Tate (E&T) has defended a move to
boost the remuneration of Franklin and Heather Tate, the husband
and wife directors who floated the iconic Margaret River company
in 1999, The West Australian has learned.

E&T has admitted on Friday that Mr. and Mrs. Tate were given
higher salaries despite the winemaker's financial crisis and
AU$50-million loss in the previous financial year.

Mr. Tate, who was fired as chief executive in July, was paid an
AU$30,000 bonus last year, lifting his salary to AU460,000.

Mrs. Tate, an alternate director for her husband, was also paid
almost AU$9000 more than the previous year with a package worth
AU$86,402 without attending any of the company's 18 board
meetings.

An E&T executive defended the payments to the Tates, as well as
AU$172,000 in combined bonuses paid to the company's top six
executives.

He explained that Mr. Tate actually works full-time for the
company. He said the remuneration is not received in her
capacity as alternate director, it is received in her capacity
as an executive.

Prior to the 2003-04 annual report, Mrs. Tate was also listed as
the company's general manager public affairs, though accounts
for the last two financial years list her only as an alternate
director and shareholder.

The spokesman also said all bonuses outlined in the latest
accounts related to E&T's record profit in 2003-04.

But Gerry Pauley, WA branch president of the Australian
Shareholders' Association, said no E&T directors should be paid
bonuses in light of the company's woeful performance.

"I think Franklin Tate should be invited by shareholders to put
money back in, a-la John Roberts," he said, referring to the
Multiplex founder's pledge to personally cover at least AU$50
million in losses booked on the Wembley Stadium redevelopment in
London.

FELTEX CARPETS: Officially Terminates Chief Executive
-----------------------------------------------------
On 24 August 2005 Feltex announced that Mr. Sam Magill had
stepped down as Chief Executive Officer and that Mr. Peter
Thomas had assumed the role of Executive Director until a new
Chief Executive Officer is appointed.

The Board of Directors has been seeking to agree final severance
terms with Mr. Magill.

Unfortunately the Board has been unable to reach a final
agreement with Mr. Magill on terms that it believes are in the
best interests of Feltex's shareholders and consistent with his
employment contract. The Board has therefore terminated Mr
Magill's employment with immediate effect. The Board's view is
that the provision made in the 2005 audited accounts for the
severance payment for Mr. Magill's departure remains adequate.

The Board has also invited Mr. Magill to resign as a director of
Feltex Carpets Limited.

Mr. Thomas will continue to act as Executive Director until the
new Chief Executive Officer is appointed.

FELTEX CARPETS: Details Ops Review; May Import More Carpets
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Feltex Carpets anticipates that the initial
announcements relating to restructuring arising from the
operations review will be made to the market in the week
commencing 17 October.

The 2005 Annual Report has been mailed to shareholders today and
an electronic version is available on the Feltex website
(www.feltex.com). This report includes an analysis of the down-
turn in earnings and the actions taken to date to address this,
including a comprehensive operations review. The restructuring
arising from the operations review is the next major step by the
Board to enhance the profitability of the business.

The operations review is identifying excess operating capacity
within Feltex that will be reduced by the restructuring, thereby
achieving substantial savings for the company. Following the
restructuring, the company will still be in a position to meet
current demand for carpet in Australia and New Zealand, and to
participate in any increase in demand.

The restructuring following the operations review is targeted to
produce significant cost savings for Feltex. This is in addition
to the savings of over $4m per year on an annualized basis from
the reduction in management overheads already announced. The
combined impact of the reduction in costs will have a material
positive impact on the profitability of the business. One-off
restructuring costs of each initiative is projected to be
recouped over a 9 to 18 month period.

The company has commenced initial consultation with staff and
their representatives concerning some of the proposed
restructuring initiatives. Consultation is being planned with
respect to other key restructuring initiatives. Implementation
will immediately follow such consultations and the respective
announcements.

It is the Board's view that the net benefits of the series of
restructuring initiatives undertaken since the market downturn
in late March and proposed to be implemented should benefit
Feltex's shareholders through the improved profitability of the
company.

MYER LIMITED: David Jones Willing to Pay Premium
------------------------------------------------
Department store chain David Jones (DJ) is poised to pay a
premium for the Myer stores it wants to acquire and is open to a
private equity partnership, Sydney Morning Herald reports.

DJ boss Mark McInnes believes that his company would be able to
create more value from certain stores owned by Myer Limited than
other potential purchasers.

"I think we'd bring our business model to those stores, we'd
also bring our credit card operations to those stores and, as a
result of that, those stores are more than likely to be more
valuable in our hands than anybody else's," Mr. McInnes said.

David Jones is not looking particularly at Myer's capital city
stores or its major stores at Bondi and Chatswood in Sydney, or
Chadstone in Melbourne.

David Jones last month announced a 19 percent jump in its annual
net profit to US$77.86 million for 2004-05, in line with
expectations.

Myer reported a US$15 million net loss in the second half of
2004-05, prompting its parent Coles Myer to put it up for sale.

NATIONAL AUSTRALIA: Chairman's Banking Choice a Mystery
-------------------------------------------------------
A revelation made by National Australia Bank (NAB) chairman
Michael Chaney about his banking preference came as a shock to
the bank's customers, The Advertiser reports.

Mr. Chaney admitted that despite being satisfied with NAB's
corporate recovery plans, he prefers to do his personal banking
at another institution for the time being.

He explained he felt obligated to use a competitor for corporate
disclosure reasons.

"I haven't been a customer (of NAB). I've banked with another
bank and I'll probably leave my banking there," Mr. Chaney said.

The latest revelation baffled clients of NAB, which is
struggling to get back on its feet after a terrible 2004.

Last year, NAB saw a very public boardroom spat and AU$380
million of losses from the bank's foreign trading arm, after
which charges were laid against a number of its employees.

NAB announced last week it would spend AU$1.8 billion rebuilding
its Australian business.

It said it would target keeping underlying cost growth in the
Australian business under three percent per annum on average
over the next three years.

POLARTECHNICS LIMITED: Spends Past 19 Years in Losses
-----------------------------------------------------
Polartechnics Limited has again capped a difficult year with
hefty losses of AU$8.4-million loss, up almost 40-percent than
last year's AU$6.06 million, according to the Sydney Morning
Herald.

The medical device company said the loss was earned on a 25-
percent increase in revenue to AU$6.3 million from AU$5.02
million and brings the company's accumulated losses over the
past 19 years to AU$61.7 million.

But non-executive directors agreed to have their remuneration
slashed by 25 percent from AU$37,500 to AU$28,125 to share the
shareholders' burden.

Polartechnics' bank assets have now deflated to AU$1.7 million,
well down from the previous year's AU$7.7 million. Research and
development expenditure has also dropped from AU$3.1 million to
AU$1.1 million.

The Company blamed its current loss can be attributed to the
"significant restructuring and redundancy costs" associated with
a change in focus.

On Friday, chief executive Victor Skladnev said Polartechnic's
sales revenue had soared from about AU$500,000 to almost AU$6
million in two years.

About 40 percent of the company's sales came from EnergistUltra,
a "cash cow" specifically introduced to help fund the other
products.

Solarscan and Mediscan each accounted for about one quarter of
the sales, with the remainder coming from Truscreen, he said.

A recent cost-reduction program had sharply cut the company's
cash-burn, Mr. Skladnev said

SANTOS LIMITED: Laden with Growth Prospects
-------------------------------------------
Santos Limited claims it has a "full bucket" of growth
opportunities from 2006 and the years to come, according to Asia
Pulse.

The Oil and gas producer's Managing Director John Ellice-Flint
is confident the firm will grow and boost performance beyond
2006.

Mr. Ellice-Flint said Santos has a growing production profile
and a very active development portfolio, with four new projects
expected to come on stream in the next 15 months.

Santos last week announced the discovery of a new gas field off
the coast of the Northern Territory. It said drilling at its
Caldita 1 exploration well in 137 metres of water, 265
kilometres north of Darwin had encountered a "significant
hydrocarbon column in a high quality reservoir interval".

The company is now assessing the potential to develop the new
field, in which it has a 40 percent stake in along with partner
US energy giant ConocoPhillips, which has a 60 percent interest.

Santos has lifted its production forecast for the 2005 calendar
year to 55 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe), compared
to its previous estimate of 54 mmboe and the 47 mmboe recorded
in 2004.

It expects at least a 10 percent increase in production in 2006.

ESCORTS LIMITED: NCD Programme Gets Default Rating
--------------------------------------------------
Escorts Limited (Escorts) has an outstanding rating of LD
assigned by ICRA for its INR958 million Non Convertible
Debenture programme (NCD). The rating indicates default.

ICRA has taken note of the sale of Escort's entire stake in
Escorts Heart Institute & Research Center (EHIRC), which is
expected to result in a cash inflow of INR6.5 billion into
Escorts books.

The company's plans to deploy these sale proceeds towards
reducing its high debt levels as well as support the working
capital needs of its tractor and other group operations, are
expected to aid Escorts in improving its financial risk profile.

ICRA, however, has noted the legal issues involving members of
the Escorts promoter family, which could impact the execution of
the deal. ICRA is watching these developments closely and would
take a rating decision as more clarity is obtained on the
certainty and timing of these cashflows.

Escorts is a leading manufacturer of tractors in the country and
reported revenues of INR11.21 billion with a net loss of INR3.14
billion in the 15 month period ended June 2005. The company has
a significant amount of debt outstanding of INR9.8 billion as on
June 30, 2005, a part of which is overdue for repayment. EHIRC
is among the country's leading specialty hospitals, with a
turnover of INR3.3 billion and PAT of INR97.7 million in 2003-
04. EHIRC's doctors and top management team hold 10% of its
equity with the balance being held by Escorts (80%) and the
promoter family.

FOOD CORPORATION: Congress MP Wants Firm Wound Up
-------------------------------------------------
A Congress MP demanded the closure of ailing public sector
organizations like Food Corporation of India (FCI) and use their
assets for other fruitful endeavors, Web India reports.

Andhra Pradesh MP K S Rao suggested to Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh that there should be an assessment of the functioning of
various public sector units and their contributions to society
in various parts of the country.

He said the subsidy for distribution of foodgrains through
public distribution system (PDS) had hit INR24,177 crore in
2003-04 from INR2,450 crore in 1990-91 and there was
multiplicity of agencies involved in the supply of foodgrains.

He said although Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar had stated
that steps were taken to improve the operational efficiency of
the FCI and reduce the subsidy outgo, many states had difficulty
in lifting allotted foodgrains because of financial constraints
resulting in irregular offtake.

"The country can ill afford to bear huge subsidies," he added

GOLDEN FORESTS: RRBs Advised to Submit Bank Statements
------------------------------------------------------
Golden Forests (India) Ltd. has advised that as per the
directions of the Supreme Court of India, the committee had
invited claims from all the investors and other creditors of
Golden Forests (India) Ltd., and received over 12 lakh claims.

The committee has observed that some of the agents of the
company had been receiving deposits and issuing Provisional
Receipts/Acknowledgement even after the company had stopped
working and the Provisional Liquidator had taken over the
company with effect from July 3, 2003.

These agents knew that the company had stopped doing business
since December 2000 and no payments were being made by it. Even
then, they got receipts printed similar to those issued by the
company and continued to receive deposits and issue receipts.
Therefore, there is likelihood of many bogus claims being
received.

In order to verify whether the amounts covered by the receipts
issued after December 1, 2000 were actually deposited in the
accounts of the company or not, it is necessary to verify the
copies of bank statements after December 1, 2000 til the
accounts were finally closed.

The committee has, therefore, directed that the banks which
had/have the bank accounts of Golden Forests (India) Ltd.,
and/or any of subsidiary/associate companies (list enclosed),
should send the statement in respect of those accounts from
December 1, 2000 till the accounts were finally closed. The
statement of accounts may be sent to the following address:

PERUSAHAAN LISTRIK: May Raise Power Rates Next Year
---------------------------------------------------
State electricity firm PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) is
expecting its power generation costs to increase 50% next year,
which means it may have to raise power rates, reports the
Jakarta Post.

According to PLN power plants & primary energy generation
director Ali Herman Ibrahim, power costs may go up as hi gh as
IDR$5 trillion next year, from a projected IDR30 trillion this
year, even as petroleum usage is expected to drop by three
million kiloliters.

PLN President Eddie Widiono said that the Company would request
a bigger subsidy from the government and improve efficiency in
order to cover the increase in costs, but if such is impossible,
then they may have to increase rates, as well.

Oil-based fuels are a major part of PLN's power generation
costs, while costs for alternative power sources reach up tp
IDR10 trillion a year. The Company is slated to reduce its fuel
consumption next year as producers shift to natural gas, and
will cosume 2.5 million kiloliters of marine fuel oil and 5.5
million kiloliters of high-speed diesel to generate power, said
director Ibrahim.

PLN expects to spend up to IDR33.32 trillion for petroleum-based
fuel next year, while it would shell out IDR6 trillion for coal
and IDR6 trillion for gas, bringing its total expenses to
IDR45.32 trillion.

While the government and House of Representatives have yet to
determine next year's subsidy for the Company, it is expected to
be lower than this year. This year, PLN will receive a IDR12.5
trillion subsidy, according to the revised 2005 state budget,
but could receive less than IDR5 trillion next year. The
commission will deliberate on PLN's 2006 subsidy later this
month.

SEMEN GRESIK: Government Hopes Mexican Firm Drops Lawsuit
---------------------------------------------------------
The Indonesian government is expecting that Mexican cement firm
Cemex Asia Holdings to withdraw its lawsuit against state-owned
cement maker PT Semen Gresik, Asia Pulse reports.

Cemex Asia had bought a 25.4% stake in Semen Gresik on the
condition that the Indonesian government would sell its
remaining shares in the Company to Cemex. But when the
government failed to do so, Cemex filed a lawsuit against the
government and Semen Gresik in the International Center for
Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) with a claim for
USD400 million (IDR4 trillion) in compensation, after failing to
reach an agreement through arbitration.

However, both parties agreed to seek an out-of-court settlement
on the dispute, according to Minister of State Enterprises
Sugiharto, who also added that since the agreement, relations
between both firms had improved, with proposals to conduct a
study on the possibilty of building a new plant underway.

TELEKOMUNIKASI INDONESIA: Wants to Buy Back Shares from Market
--------------------------------------------------------------
State-owned telecommunications firm PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia
Tbk (Telkom) wants to buy back Idr 2 trillion to IDR3 trillion
in shares from the market, reports Reuters News.

Telkom CEO Arwin Rasyid said that the plan, which has yet to be
approved by the Company's shareholders, reflects the Company's
efforts to increase its domestic stronghold in the market before
investing abroad.

Last Aug. 16, Mr. Rasyid said that Telkom expected a net profit
increase of IDR7.4 trillion due to strong growth in its mobile
phone business.

Telkom believes that there is promise in the local market, and
buying back shares would reduce the number of its outstanding
shares, hence resulting in higher earnings per share for
shareholders.

SANYO ELECTRIC: R&I Places Rating on Monitor
--------------------------------------------
On September 28, Sanyo Electric announced a downward revision on
its consolidated business results for the year ending in March
2006. The net loss is estimated to drop to JPY140 billion from
its previous estimation of JPY92 billion.

The company is currently proceeding with a drastic structural
reform including revision of unprofitable businesses; however,
there has been an intense competition and drop in prices in the
digital appliances markets.

The prospect for recovery is scarce. Its net worth dropped to
JPY288.2 billion (equity ratio 11%) at the end of March 2005,
yet, it is expected to worsen in the following year due to
posting of further significant losses. The business environment
surrounding the electronics appliances business is harsh and
there are also concerns over fiscal 2006 results.

Therefore, R&I have placed the rating on the Rating Monitor with
a view to downgrading. R&I will announce a new rating after the
company's announcement of half-year results ending in September
2005.

TOWA CORPORATION: R&I Places BB- Rating on Monitor
--------------------------------------------------
Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I), has placed the
BBB- rating of Towa Corporation on the Rating Monitor with a
view to downgrading.

RATIONALE:

On September 28, Towa Corporation announced a downward revision
of the half-year result ending in September 2005 and the
replacement of the C.E.O. The consolidated net loss for the
half-year result is expected to drop to JPY4.7 billion compared
to the previous projection of JPY3.9 billion.

The company has been working on a management reform, however, it
could not secure adequate earnings during 2004 (calendar year)
due to delay in the starting up of the Chinese plant in which it
invested as a manufacturing base.

The company had been striding to improve its operating margin
since 2005 through improvement in profitability and by
outsourcing.

However, the financial composition is deteriorating since the
company has cancelled several projects carried over from the
previous term. Therefore, R&I have placed Towa on the Rating
Monitor with a view to downgrading.

SAMYANG FOODS: Nissin Joins Race for 27.66 Stake
------------------------------------------------
Nissin Food Products Co. Ltd. of Japan intends to buy a 27.66
percent stake in Samyang Foods Co. Ltd., Reuters reveals, citing
Korea Economic Daily.

Nissin has submitted a letter of intent for the stake.  Shinhan
Financial Group currently holds the largest stake with a market
value of KRW61.8 billion ($59 million).  

The auction for the stake would take place October 18.  


* Seoul Government to Unload Stake in 6 Restructured Firms
----------------------------------------------------------
The Seoul government mulls of selling six companies bailed out
with public funds, The Korea Herald relates.
  
The six companies partly owned by state agency, Korea Asset
Management Corp. (KAMCO), include Daewoo Engineering and
Construction Co., Daewoo International Co., Daewoo Shipbuilding
and Marine Engineering Co., Daewoo Electronics Co., Daewoo
Precision Industries Co., Ssangyong Engineering and Construction
Co.

KAMCO holds a 44.36 stake in Daewoo Engineering, worth KRW1.513
trillion and in Daewoo Shipbuilding, it holds a 19.1 percent
stake, valued at KRW788.2 billion.

It also has shares valued at KRW620.9 billion in Daewoo
International, KRW305.6 billion worth of stocks in Daewoo
Electronics, KRW103.8 billion worth of stake in Ssangyong
Engineering and KRW56.3 billion worth of shareholding in Daewoo
Precision.

The six companies have a combined market value of KRW3.39
trillion.

The state agency is unloading its stake in the said companies
after taking a full consideration on how the sale would affect
the local industry, a KAMCO official said.

Since the companies are in good financial condition, the agency
expects premiums on top of the normal market price of the
stocks.  Therefore, there is a possibility that KAMCO may
generate a higher sum than the firm's listed stock price.

The Seoul government targets the sale by the end of 2006.

COLLEGE ASSURANCE: Mulls Criminal Raps vs SEC Execs, Politicians
----------------------------------------------------------------
College Assurance Plans Philippines Inc. (CAP) is suing top
officials of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and
some politicians, The Philippine Star has learned.

The ailing pre-need firm said it will file criminal charges with
the Office of the Ombudsman next week against the SEC officials
and politicians for allegedly conspired to tarnish CAP's
reputation eventually leading to its collapse.

CAP legal counsel and former solicitor General Frank Chavez
confirmed the firm's plan but refused to identify the
individuals involved in the charges. But he stressed he has
sufficient evidence to "pin these people down". The SEC
officials, he said, may include directors and associate
commissioners.

On Thursday last week, CAP filed before the Ombudsman Office a
criminal complaint against SEC general accountant Roberto
Manabat, who was appointed chairman of CAP's oversight board,
for violation of Sec. 3 of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices
Act.

In its complaint, CAP alleged that Manabat's decision to grant a
Php100,000 monthly compensation to CAP comptroller Mario Aguas
unduly aggravated the company's financial standing. It said the
compensation was grossly excessive and unreasonable, as compared
to the monthly salaries of CAP officers.

The SEC earlier filed before the Department of Justice a
criminal complaint against the directors and officers of CAP for
unauthorized sale of pre-need plans in violation of the
Securities Regulation Code (SRC).

It also sought the issuance of a hold-departure order against
the respondents to prevent them from fleeing the country and
evading criminal liabilities.

In its complaint, the SEC said CAP sold pre-need educational
plans despite the fact that it knew it had no more registered
plans to sell in violation of Sec. 16 of the SRC. CAP had used
up all its registered plans as early as June 2004.

COLLEGE ASSURANCE: SEC Exec Refutes Graft Charges
-------------------------------------------------
A senior executive at Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
refuted graft charges hurled against him by College Assurance
Plans Philippines inc. (CAP), according to BusinessWorld.

Roberto Manabat was shocked that CAP filed such issues against
him with the Office of the Ombudsman. Mr. Manabat said he has
not yet received a copy of the complaint.

The case primarily involves the monthly salary given to a
comptroller recommended by the SEC. CAP had said the
comptroller's monthly pay of P100,000 was "grossly excessive,
unreasonable and exorbitant."

He said he was surprised that the matter is being brought two
years after CAP started paying the salary in question.

Mr. Manabat said the CAP board was the one that appointed the
comptroller through a formal resolution that specified his
salary.

The Sobrepena-led pre-need firm on Thursday filed a criminal
charge against Mr. Manabat for alleged violation of the Anti-
Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. The filing came two weeks after
the regulator filed criminal cases against CAP officials,
holding them responsible for the inability of the company to
service its obligations to almost 700,000 planholders. The SEC
had also sought the issuance of a hold-departure order against
the officials.


FASTECH SYNERGY: Updates on Financial Status, Debt Restructuring
----------------------------------------------------------------

position and its ongoing discussion with its creditor banks.

Group is still in continuing discussions with its creditor banks
for the restructuring of its loans, and as such, believes that
it will be able to meet its debt payments.

and will make an immediate announcement if any material
development occurs between the monthly updates.

NATIONAL POWER: YNN Says It Can Fulfill Part of Masinloc Deal
-------------------------------------------------------------
YNN Pacific Consortium gave assurance it will fulfill its share
in the purchase deal for National Power Corporation's (Napocor)
Masinloc power facility, BusinessWorld reports.

YNN, the winning bidder for the 600-megawatt coal-fired power
plant, said it was just waiting for the government's go signal
to take over the operations of the Masinloc plant.

The group, comprised of the Great Pacific Financial Group of
Australia and Duracom Mobile Power Corp., assured it will
fulfill its part in the US$561.7-million deal amid reports it
will not be able to do so because its Australian partner Great
Pacific has left the venture.

YNN's representative Gary Makasiar declared the group remains
stable and complete and is in fact "entertaining the idea of
larger participation".

Laemakers and industry analysts have criticized YNN's capacity
to run Masinloc, saying the group is financially unstable. The
consortium, however, claimed that it has already posted a US$9-
million security - an irrevocable letter of credit that the
government could forfeit if it fails to post an US$11-million
performance bond or pay the "upfront fee" of about $223 million
upon the signing of the sale contract.

Under the deal with YNN, the government has to secure the
consent of Napocor's creditors on the transfer of the plant so
that it can forward its upfront fee. The power generation firm
owns the Masinloc plant, which it built using borrowed funds
from multilateral agencies.

The government, through the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities
Management Corp., has yet to get the consent of the Japan Bank
for International Cooperation. It has also secured the approval
of the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank.

The government has 270 days from the bid award and effectively
of the sale agreement to obtain the consent. YNN won the bidding
for the Masinloc plant on Dec. 3, 2004, and was formally awarded
the sale contract on March 2005.

NATIONAL POWER: Inks EUR17.5-Mln Project with French Group
----------------------------------------------------------
The National Power Corporation (Napocor) signed last September
21 a EUR17.5-million contract with the French consortium of
Paris-Manila Technology Corporation (PAMATEC) and ETDE of
Bouygues Construction for the electrification of 128 barangays
in Masbate under the Philippine Rural Electrification Service
(PRES) Project.

The PRES Project is in line with the government's twin goals of
attaining 100-percent barangay electrification by the year 2008
and 90-percent household co9nnection by 2017. Funding for the
project was made possible through the EUR22.5-million Frech
Financial Protocol signed in November 2004 between France and
the Philippine government.

The electrification project is considered to be the single-
biggest investment in Masbate. Based on the prevailing exchange
rate of EUR1:Php68.20, financing for the Masbate project could
amount to as much as Php1.19 billion.

The project is expected to benefit 18,000 households in 128
barangays in Masbate through adequate and reliable electricity
supply. The electrification of the said barangays is expected to
be completed in about two years' time.

Once operational, the PRES Project will provide a big boost to
Masbate, which has the lowest electrification level in the
country. Government data indicate that as of July 2005, only
56.18 percent of the province has been energized.

At present, Masbate's electricity supply is provided by
Napocor's Small Power Utilities Group, which operates three
power plants in the province: the 2.5-MW Masbate Diesel Power
Plant I; the 14.4-MW Power Barge 105; and the 1.4-MW Ticao
Diesel Power Plant. Peak demand in the province has been
estimated at roughly 10 MW.

The contract was signed by Napocor President Cyril C. del
Callar, ETDE Business Development manager Patrick Canton, and
PAMATEC President Hubert D'Aboville. The ceremonial contract-
signing was witnessed by Energy Secretary Raphael P.M. Lotilla
and other top officials of NPC and PAMATEC.


PLATINUM PLANS: Watchdog Contests Fund Changes
----------------------------------------------
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) questioned the
legality of adjustments made on Platinum Plan Inc.'s trust fund,
Manila Times says.

Aside from contesting the fund changes, the corporate watchdog
also claimed resorted to fraudulent buy-back agreements to hike
the value of its assets.

In its supplemental position presented to the Makati Regional
Trial Court on September 29, the SEC said it is firm on its bid
to request the dismissal of Platinum Plan's petition for
rehabilitation for lack of merit.

With the adjustments, the pre-need firm's total equity posted a
deficit of Php209.88 million as opposed to Platinum's
computation of Php861.95 million. Similarly, its total assets
were calculated at Php2.95 billion, which is significantly lower
than the firm's figures of Php3.98 billion.

Meanwhile, Platinum's other assets including cash, other
investment contracts, receivables, property and equipment, among
others, is valued at Php2.29 billion instead of Php2.77 billion.

The code's provision stated that the commission had the
authority to "make, amend and rescind" accounting rules and
regulations within the bounds of law.

This included the commission's authority to prescribe even the
methods to be followed in the preparation of accounts,
appraisal, or valuation of assets and liabilities.

TPI POLENE: Court Dismisses Creditors' Objection
------------------------------------------------
As TPI Polene Public Company Limited has conducted the voluntary
Debt Repurchase Program (DRP) process participated by the scheme
creditors in compliance with the Business Reorganization Plan of
the Company.

TPI Polene advised that it has utilized the proceeds from the
equity raising to repay the DRP debts to the creditors
participating in the DRP by filing the Motion and depositing the
cashier cheques and/or drafts with the Central Bankruptcy Court
on February 24, 2004, which most of the DRP participating
creditors have already collected the cashier cheques and/or
drafts under the Court's proceedings.  

However, 11 DRP-participating creditors have filed objections
against the Company's Motion to pay the DRP debts under the
Court proceedings.
          
The Company notified the SET that on September 30, 2005, the
Court issued an order dismissing the objections of the 11
objecting creditors against the Company's Motion to pay the DRP
debts.

According to the Court's order, the 11 objecting creditors are
not entitled to terminate the DRP contracts with the Company.  

Therefore, the debt settlement of the Company under the Court
proceedings is legally biding and thereby resulting in the
Company being able to make repayment of the balance of the DRP
debts to the 11 objecting creditors.  

In effect, the Company receives the discount of the principal
debts of approximately THB1,200 million and waiver of the
accrued interest of approximately THB1,500 million, making the
total amount of the discount of approximately THB2,700 million.
          
Please therefore kindly be informed.
