BABCOCK & BROWN: Unit Sells 50% Interest in Powerco NZ to QIC
-------------------------------------------------------------
Babcock & Brown Infrastructure (BBI), one of Babcock & Brown
Limited's listed fund, disclosed that following a competitive
sales process, a Sale and Purchase Agreement for 50% of Powerco's
New Zealand operations has been signed with Funds managed by
Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC).

The transaction demonstrates the following key elements:

   -- The sale ascribes to an Enterprise Value (EV) of
      NZ$2.05 billion for Powerco's New Zealand business -
      Powerco's total business has an EV of NZ$2.25 billion
      including Powerco Tasmania.  The sale is for 50% of
      Powerco's New Zealand operations only.  BBI will
      retain 100% of Powerco's Tasmanian gas distribution
      business, which has a book EV of NZ$200 million1.
      This transaction represents a 25% premium over the
      original 2004 acquisition price of NZ$1.8 billion.

   -- NZ$400 million in capital raised - Net proceeds from
      the sale of Powerco's New Zealand operations are
      expected to total approximately NZ$400 million, with
      financial close expected in Q1 Calendar Year 2009.
      The capital raised will be applied to reduce corporate
      debt as well as fund organic growth opportunities
      across BBI's international portfolio of infrastructure
      assets.

   -- Asset valuation supported - The sale demonstrates
      the underlying value of BBI's portfolio and the
      valuation gap between asset valuations and the
      current BBI security price. The sale price implies
      an FY08 EV/EBITDA of 9.3x for Powerco's New Zealand
      business.

   -- Shared asset control - Post financial close, BBI
      and the Funds managed by QIC will share control of
      the asset. The transaction demonstrates BBI's
      intention to align with strategic partners in the
      ownership and management of assets.

   -- Other Core Asset Sales - The co-investment and
      partnering process of BBI Euroports and WestNet
      Rail, set out at the full-year results, remains
      underway. BBI will provide an update on the
      progress of these by the end of December 2008.

BBI Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Kendrew said "The Powerco New
Zealand sale validates our view of the value of the underlying
assets in BBI.  We look forward to working closely with QIC as a
partner in Powerco, particularly given its long term focus on the
infrastructure market."

QIC's Head of Global Infrastructure, Ross Israel, said "Powerco is
a strategic core regulated utility.  As a mature business, we
expect it to provide stable long term returns.  We look forward to
working with BBI to continue to provide strong service levels for
Powerco customers and further grow the business" Mr. Israel said.

The sale is conditional upon gaining requisite consents, including
New Zealand Overseas Investment Office consent and Powerco lender
consent.

                          About Powerco

Powerco is New Zealand's second largest electricity and gas
distribution business with over 400,000 connected customers across
service areas of over 39,000 square kilometres in the North Island
of New Zealand.  Powerco also has a gas network and retail
business in Tasmania, Australia, which has been excluded from the
sale process.

CHINA MINSHENG: To Issue Up to CNY5 Bil. Hybrid Bonds
-----------------------------------------------------
China Minsheng Banking Corp. said on Tuesday, October 28, 2008, it
would issue up to CNY5 billion (US$730 million) in 15-year fixed-
and floating-rate hybrid bonds to supplement its capital, Reuters
reports.

As reported in Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on September
23, 2008, citing Luo Jun of Bloomberg News, China Minsheng
received regulatory approval to raise as much as CNY15 billion
(US$2.2 billion) selling bonds after expansion in the U.S. pushed
its capital close to the regulatory minimum.

The China Banking Regulatory Commission, Bloomberg News related,
approved the sale of the 10-year bonds with call warrants to buy
shares.

                      About Minsheng Banking

China Minsheng Banking Corporation Ltd.'s mainly provides
commercial banking services that include absorbing public
deposits, providing short term, medium term, and long term loans,
making domestic and international settlement, discounting bills
and issuing financial bonds.

                          *     *     *

The Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific reported that on
July 13, 2007, Fitch Ratings upgraded China Minsheng Banking
Corp.'s individual rating to "D" from "D/E" while it affirmed
its support rating at "4".


CITIC PACIFIC: Loan Deal with Parent May Involve an Equity Issue
----------------------------------------------------------------
In a regulatory filing with The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, Citic
Pacific Limited said it is in the process of negotiating with
CITIC Group in relation to the arrangements for the standby loan
facility of US$1.5 billion which arrangements may involve an
equity issue.

The company said an announcement setting out details of the
standby loan facility (and the possible equity issue, if agreed)
will be published as and when appropriate.

The company added that trading in its shares will remain suspended
pending publication of such announcement.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Oct.  22, 2008, various reports said Citic Pacific may post a
nearly US$2 billion losses from unauthorized currency trade by two
of its executives.

The Wall Street Journal reported that company's group Finance
Director Leslie Chang and Chi Yin Chau, group financial
controller, were fired from their post for neglecting to provide
proper oversight.  It was "regrettable that policies and
procedures on risk management were not followed," the same report
cited Citic Pacific Chairman Larry Yung, as saying.

Citic Pacific's bet that the Australian dollar would rise incurred
losses as the currency tumbled about 30% against its U.S.
counterpart from a 25-year high reached in July, Bloomberg News
reported.  According to the WSJ, the hit to the company's bottom
line could reach HK$14.7 billion (US$1.89 billion), which is
roughly a third more than the company earned in 2007.

Moreover, Agence France-Presse said that the company also said it
had incurred loses of HK$808 million Hong Kong dollars (US104
million) in terminating leveraged foreign exchange contracts.
The size of the loss won't be known until December 31, when Citic
Pacific plans to mark to market its positions in currency-
derivative contracts, the WSJ said.

Citic Pacific's state-owned parent, Citic Group, has agreed to
step in with a standing loan of US$1.5 billion.  Citic Group holds
29% of Citic Pacific.

                      About CITIC Pacific

Headquartered in Hong Kong, CITIC Pacific Ltd --
http://www.citicpacific.com/-- is engaged in a range of
businesses in China and Hong Kong, including steel
manufacturing, property development and investment, power

Trust & Investment Corporation.

                          *     *     *

As reported by Troubled Company Reporter - Asia pacific Oct. 23,
2008,  Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate
credit rating on CITIC Pacific Ltd. to 'BB' from 'BB+', and placed
it on CreditWatch with negative implications.  This follows CITIC
Pacific's announcement that it has incurred HK$15.5 billion losses
from various leveraged foreign exchange contracts.  At the same
time, S&P lowered its issue rating to 'BB' from 'BB+' on the
senior unsecured notes issued by CITIC Pacific Finance (2001) Ltd.
and guaranteed by CITIC Pacific.

In addition, the TCR-AP reported that Moody's Investors Service on
Oct. 23, 2008, downgraded the Ba1 corporate family rating of CITIC
Pacific Ltd and the Ba1 rating of CITIC Pacific Finance (2001)
Ltd's US$450 million bonds to Ba2.  The ratings continue
to be on review for possible downgrade.


CHINA RAILWAY: Nigerian Gov't. Halts US$8.3 Billion Project
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Nigerian government suspended work on a US$8.3 billion Lagos-
Kano railway project it entered into with China Railway
Construction Corp to redefine the contract scope, Xiao Yu of
Bloomberg News reports.

The project accounts for nearly 14 percent of China Railway's
orders value, according to the report.

News of the project suspension sent the company's shares down by
18 percent to HK$8.07 at 12:29 p.m. local time yesterday, November
4.

Li Pan, analyst at BOC International said in a research note cited
by Bloomberg News that there is "a high probability that the
project will shrink in size"
adding that the company's earnings may drop by 5 percent next year
and 8 percent in 2010 should the project not restart in 2009.

Bloomberg News says the suspension adds to China Railway's woes
after last month reporting a CNY320 million (US$47 million) loss
from wrong-way foreign currency bets.

Corporation Limited
-- http://www.crcc.cn/-- is an integrated construction company.

LOTUS ASSET: May Sell Business to Religare Aegon
------------------------------------------------
Sanat Vallikappen and Satish John at livemint.com reported that
Lotus India Asset Management Co. Pvt. Ltd may become the first
casualty of the liquidity crisis that has hit most asset
management companies in India with discussions regarding its sale
to a rival continuing late on Monday night, November 3, 2008.

Citing four people familiar with the development, livemint
said that promoted by a subsidiary of Temasek Holdings Pte Ltd and
Sabre Capital, Lotus India is being sold to Religare Aegon Asset
Management Co. Pvt. Ltd.

All four of livemint's sources labeled it a distress sale and said
the fund would not fetch a good price.  Under normal
circumstances, livemint noted, promoters of asset management
companies are paid 6% for equity assets under management and 3%
for debt assets.

In the face of heavy redemptions, livemint related, Lotus India
has seen a 31% fall in the average assets under management—from
Rs7,937 crore at the end of September to Rs5,457.7 crore in
October.

Lotus India's top management is unlikely to be retained by
Religare Aegon, but that some of them had negotiated good exit
packages for themselves, one of the four people familiar with the
situation told livemint.

According to Business Standard, Lotus India was launched only in
2005 and has not had a great track record so far.

Lotus India made a net loss of Rs 32.26 crore in 2007 and Rs 21.95
crore in 2008.  From January to September 2008, its equity funds
have made losses of 40.07 per cent, the Business Standard relates
citing Value Research Online.

Business Standard notes that Lotus India shareholders include
Temasek-promoted Alexandra Fund Management Pte Ltd (AFM), which
holds about 43 per cent, and Rana Talwar-promoted Sabre Capital
Investment Holdings that own about 32 per cent.  Employees own
another 25 per cent.

MEDCO ENERGI: Moody's Puts B1 CFR on Review for Possible Downgrade
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has placed PT Medco Energi Internasional
Tbk's B1 corporate family rating and B2 senior unsecured rating
(Senior 8.75% bonds due 2010 issued by MEI Euro Finance Limited)
on review for possible downgrade.  The review follows Medco's
announcement that the Technical Assistance Contract with PT
Pertamina EP has expired.  The TAC relates to its Tarakan, Singa-
Sanga, and Somboja Working Areas in East Kalimantan and were
formally operated and held under "PT Medco E&P Kalimantan".

"The loss of the Kalimantan TAC and its resulting cash flows,
together with the recent material decline in energy prices would
further pressure Medco's already tight liquidity profile over the
coming 12 months," says Tony Tsai, Senior Vice President at
Moody's.

"In addition, ongoing turmoil in the financial markets may
constrain Medco's access to sources of funding," says Mr. Tsai,
adding, "The Company's alternative liquidity plans, consisting of
asset divestment program, could also face prolonged negotiations
process as a result of recent volatile market conditions."

Moody's recognizes that Medco's current liquidity profile has been
bolstered by successful asset divestitures, however, these are
countered by sizeable debt maturities capital expenditure, and
dividend needs over the next twelve months.

The review will focus on measures taken by Medco to improve its
liquidity profile and its capex plan to cope with reinvestment
risk given that its depleting reserves are undergoing long-term
natural decline. Moody's notes the company needs to secure
committed long-term financing to fund its upcoming 2009
maturities, amounting to over $400 million, and capital
expenditure requirements, estimated to cost approximately $350-
$400 million over the next 12 months.  In addition, Moody's will
monitor the company's ability to monetize its non-core assets as
part of the asset enhancement divestiture program.

The rating could be subject to downward pressure in the event that
Medco is unable to maintain liquidity and operational profiles
consistent with our previous expectations.

Headquartered in Jakarta, PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk is
predominantly an oil and gas exploration and production (E&P)
company with additional operations in drilling, downstream oil &
gas activities and power generation.  Through its acquisition of
Novus Petroleum of Australia in 2004, Medco gained a platform to
expand overseas, to the US, Middle East, Libya, Tunisia, Oman,
Cambodia and Yemen.  Its international assets, which are mostly in
the exploration stages, remains small, accounting for 3% of proved
reserves and 2% of annual production as at December 31, 2007.  Its
annual production capacity is approximately 17 million barrels of
oil equivalent ("mmboe") and 40 million cubic feet of gas ("bcf").
The company reported sales of $1,313 million for the trailing
twelve months ending September 30, 2008.

DYNACITY CORP: Funding Problems Prompts Bankruptcy Filing
---------------------------------------------------------
Dynacity Corp. has collapsed due mainly to funding problems amid a
quickly deteriorating business environment for the industry, Jiji
Press reports.

According to the report, the Japanese condominium developer filed
for bankruptcy protection with JPY52 billion in debts and will be
delisted from the Jasdaq Securities Exchange on December 1, 2008.

In 2005, the report recalls, Dynacity saw its creditworthiness
hurt by a drug scandal involving its president.  It then formed an
alliance with Livedoor Co., but the relationship quickly collapsed
following the arrest of Livedoor executives in early 2006.

Jiji Press relates that the company has recently had been seeking
rehabilitation under the help of billing service company Invoice
Inc.


EXPOLAND: Files for Bankruptcy Protection
-----------------------------------------
Japan Today reports that the Expoland amusement park in Suita,
Osaka Prefecture, filed for bankruptcy protection with the Osaka
District Court on Wednesday, October 29, 2008.

Japan Today relates that the park operator has liabilities of
JPY1.6 billion due to a falling number of visitors following last
year’s fatal roller coaster accident.

According to The Yomiuri Shimbun, Expoland president Tadakazu
Shimizu said it had asked seven firms to support its
reconstruction.

"We couldn't overcome the negative image caused by the fatal
accident," the Shimbun quoted Mr. Shimizu as saying.  "The firms
didn't believe they could profit from supporting us because of the
unexpectedly large decrease in visitors."

The Shimbum recounts that Expoland suspended its operations in May
2007, shortly after the fatal accident.  It reopened the following
August but again suspended operations in December of the same year
as the number of visitors was down 80 percent from the same period
the previous year.

Expoland --

in 1970 (Expo '70) and thrived over 30 years as an amusement park.

MITSUBISHI MOTORS: Posts JPY1.21 Bil. Net Sales in 1H 2008
----------------------------------------------------------
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation disclosed its sales and financial
results for the first half of the 2008 fiscal year ending
March 31, 2009, and outlined its forecast for the full year.

1. 1H 2008 results

  (1) Performance overview

      Mitsubishi Motors posted consolidated net sales of
      1,214 billion yen for the first half of fiscal year
      2008 (April 1 through September 30, 2008), an eight
      percent decrease of 99.4 billion yen over the same
      period last year (1,313.4 billion yen). The drop in
      net sales, resulting from lower unit sales and the
      impact of the stronger yen, was partly countered by
      increased revenues stemming from a more profitable
      model mix as well as other factors.

      Mitsubishi Motors posted operating income of 25.4
      billion yen, a 35 percent increase of 6.6 billion
      yen over the same period last year despite sharp
      increases in the cost of raw materials and the
      impact of the stronger yen. Factors contributing to
      the improvement include a more profitable model mix
      as well as reductions in selling and marketing as
      well as other costs.  The company posted ordinary
      income of 20.9 billion yen, a year-on-year increase
      of 14.3 billion yen. This was due to a higher
      operating income, favorable changes in the balance
      of interest paid and received and improved gains in
      foreign exchange transactions.

      Mitsubishi Motors posted a net profit of 12.8 billion
      yen, a year-on-year improvement of 18.4 billion yen
      and the first profit for the first half since FY2002.
      This improvement was due to an increase in ordinary
      income and to the elimination of such extraordinary
      losses as reorganization costs incurred in the
      integration of domestic consolidated sales companies,
      which were booked in the previous fiscal year.

  (2) Unit sales

      Mitsubishi Motors' global retail unit sales for the
      first half of fiscal 2008 totaled 602,000 vehicles,
      a 13 percent decrease of 89,000 units compared to
      691,000 for the same period last year.

      In Japan, where overall demand remained at virtually
      the same level as last year, Mitsubishi Motors posted
      unit sales of 83,000 vehicles, a 17 percent decline
      of 18,000 units year on year. This was primarily due
      to the fact that, amid intensifying competition, the
      company did not bring its new models to market until
      September.

      In North America Mitsubishi Motors posted unit sales
      of 71,000 vehicles, a 22 percent decrease of 21,000
      units over the same period last year. While unit
      sales increased in Canada and Mexico, the fall in
      total unit sales is attributed to a deterioration in
      consumer confidence and to the credit crunch brought
      about by financial instability in the United States.

      In Europe Mitsubishi Motors potsed unit sales of
      168,000 vehicles. This slight increase over the
      previous year was due mainly to higher sales in Russia
      and Ukraine which offset lower sales in the countries
      of Western Europe.

      In its Asia & Other regions, Mitsubishi Motors posted
      unit sales of 280,000 vehicles, a 15 percent decrease
      of 51,000 units compared to the previous year. Despite
      firm sales in Indonesia, the Philippines and Brazil,
      sales fell due to the ending of the supply of parts
      for local vehicle assembly to Proton Holdings Berhad
      in Malaysia and to the impact of slower sales in other
      markets.

2. 2008 full-year forecast

   In the light of its first half results and of the current
   sales climate, Mitsubishi Motors has revised the full-year
   forecasts announced on April 25 2008.

   Mitsubishi Motors has revised its full-year global unit
   sales (retail) forecast in anticipation of significantly
   slower sales in all markets due to the impact of the
   world-wide financial turmoil and slowdown in the global
   economy. The company has lowered its full-year unit sales
   forecast to 1,228,000 vehicles, a six percent reduction
   of 81,000 units compared to the previous forecast.

   Mitsubishi Motors has lowered its net sales forecast to
   2,360 billion yen, an 11 percent decrease of 290 billion
   yen on the previous forecast. This is in line with the
   company's revision of its unit sales forecast and a
   review of exchange rates expected for the second half.
   The company has revised its operating income forecast
   to 50 billion yen, a 17 percent decrease of 10 billion
   yen, factoring in comprehensive cost reductions to
   counter the impact of reduced unit sales. The company
   has revised its ordinary income forecast to 43 billion
   yen, a 10 percent decrease of 5 billion yen, factoring
   in an improvement in the balance of interest paid and
   received.  The company leaves its original full-year
   net income forecast of 20 billion yen unchanged due to
   favorable changes in extraordinary income and loss items
   and in corporate taxes in the first half of fiscal 2008.

3. Strategic mid-term tactics (by region)

   The global financial crisis is impacting the automobile
   industry as seen in a weakening of consumer confidence
   and in the effects of the credit crunch. It is clear
   that there will be a significant drop in overall demand
   in the mature economies of Europe and North America
   and also that there will be a slowdown in the economies
   of many of the emerging nations that have until recently
   been relatively buoyant.

   Mitsubishi Motors will focus all its efforts on reviewing
   its work processes and renew its efforts to reduce costs.
   At the same time the company will, from a mid- to long-
   term perspective, accelerate promotion of its "building
   on our strengths" and "revise work processes" policies.

   Starting in the second-half of fiscal 2008, Mitsubishi
   Motors will introduce the Lancer series and the new
   Pajero Sport model into many world markets and, at the
   same time, will implement the regional mid-term
   initiatives outlined below.

  (1) Initiatives in mature markets

      - Japan

        Strengthen after-sales services business and
        maximize efficiencies in sales network.

      - USA

        Meet shift in demand to smaller cars; streamlining
        and cost reduction at Illinois plant.

      - Europe

        Add more low-CO2 emission models to the lineup;
        raise capacity utilization at European production hub.

   (2) Initiatives in emerging markets

       - Russia, Ukraine

         Introduce new Pajero Sport; expand sales network

       - China

         Establish new sales company to boost built-up
         imports business

       - Middle East

         flexible fuel vehicles (FFV)

   (3) Entry into new markets and other initiatives

         Corporation.

        - Thailand

          Start production of new Pajero Sport SUV

        - India

          Strengthen presence in SUV segment with introduction
          of locally-produced Outlander model.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific on
August 11, 2008, JCR affirmed the BB/Stable, J-3 and BB- ratings
on senior debts, CP program and Euro Medium Term Note Programme of
the issuer, respectively.

On May 29, 2008, Moody's Investors Service upgraded the senior
unsecured ratings of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) and its
supported subsidiaries, Mitsubishi Motors Credit of America,
Inc., and MMC International Finance (Netherlands) B.V., to Ba2
from Ba3.  The rating outlook is positive.

HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR: Moody's Cuts Ratings to Ba3; Outlook Negative
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded to Ba3 from Ba2 Hynix
Semiconductor, Inc.'s corporate family rating and senior unsecured
bond rating.  The outlook for the ratings remains negative.

"This rating action reflects Hynix's weakened credit profile and
operating performance as a result of the weaker-than-expected
state of the memory industry, including severe drops in prices for
global dynamic random access memory (DRAM) products," says Ken
Chan, a Moody's Vice President.

"The company's operating losses in 3Q08 widened as compared to
2Q08, resulting in a high likelihood that it could breach certain
loan covenants by end-2008," says Mr. Chan.

On the other hand, Moody's draws certain comfort from the support
Hynix receives from most of its creditors, which are also
shareholders.

In terms of memory market trends, overall visibility remains low.
Current global financial turmoil injects uncertainties and is
delaying the pick-up in demand with PC shipment growth slowing to
mid-single digits in 3Q08.

Although memory-per-box continues to increase, market recovery
requires sustainable and stronger PC shipment growth.  Given the
sluggish outlook for the economy and corporate IT spending, we are
cautiously expecting a recovery by 2H09.

Despite current market condition, Hynix maintains relative
competitiveness -- in both processing geometry and scale -- as the
second largest DRAM maker globally.

The negative outlook reflects the challenging operating
environment and the potential breach of financial covenants.

The rating outlook could return to stable if Hynix improves its
operating performance and liquidity profile, such that there will
not be any potential breach of the financial covenants of its
loans and, at the same time, maintains Total Debt/Capitalization
below 45-50% and EBITDA to interest coverage above 4-6x on a
sustained basis.

On the other hand, Hynix's ratings could be downgraded if: 1) the
company is not granted a waiver from its creditors on the
potential breach of financial covenants for its FY08 results ; 2)
the industry and memory prices continue to trend downwards which
affects Hynix's access to capital markets, such that its balance
sheet liquidity deteriorates further; 3) there are material delays
in its technology migration process, and which negatively affects
its competitiveness against its peers; and 4) Total
Debt/Capitalization exceeds 50% and EBITDA to interest coverage
falls below 3.5-4.0x over the cycle.

Hynix Semiconductor Inc, headquartered in Kyongki-do, Korea, is
the world's second largest dynamic random access memory
manufacturer.


HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR: Posts KRW1.67 Tril. Net Loss for 3Q 2008
-------------------------------------------------------------
Hynix Semiconductor Inc. disclosed results for third quarter ended
September 30, 2008.  The company recorded the consolidated
revenues of KRW1.84 trillion which is slightly lower than KRW1.86
trillion in the previous quarter.

Revenues from DRAM increased with 20% bit growth and 11% drop in
ASP.  However, NAND flash price declined 23% with negative 14% bit
growth.  The company said although it attempted to cut the losses
by closing down inefficient 200mm fabs, total operating costs
increased due to cost related to inventory write-offs.  Thus, the
operating loss increased to 465 billion won from 172 billion won
in the previous quarter, resulting in negative 25% operating
margin.

Net loss for the quarter amounted to KRW1.67 trillion with
negative 91% of margin.  The big difference between the operating
loss and net loss is primarily due to the net foreign currency
transaction and translation loss that incurred as a result of
weakened Korean won against US dollar, and valuation loss of PP&E
related to shut down of two 200mm fabs, M7 and M9, during the
quarter.

On the balance sheet, the company's consolidated cash and short-
term financial instruments decreased by KRW188 billion
sequentially to KRW1.23 trillion.  The interest-bearing debts
increased by KRW881 billion to KRW7.84 trillion at the end of the
third quarter, largely due to substantial exposure of its foreign
currency denominated debt that was affected by the weak Korean
won.  Consequently, debt to equity ratio went up to 109% and net
debt to equity ratio to 92% from previous quarter's 83% and 66%,
respectively.

HYUNDAI MOTOR: U.S. Sale Fell 31% in October 2008
-------------------------------------------------
Yonhap News Agency reported that Hyundai Motor Co. said its
October sales in the U.S. fell 31 percent from a year ago, amid
tight auto finance credit and signs of an economic recession in
the world's largest economy.

"We are experiencing one of the most challenging times in recent
automotive history," Yonhap News quoted Dave Zuchowski, vice
president of Hyundai's U.S. Subsidiary, as saying.

According to the Associated Press, Hyundai said volumes fell
across all of its models, including its top-selling sedans.  Sales
of its Sonata car slumped 16.5 percent to 7,943, while Accent
sales fell at a similar rate.

AP says sales of the company's sport utility vehicles fell even
more sharply.  Its best-selling SUV, the Santa Fe, tumbled 36.1
percent to 3,794, while sales of the Tucson plunged by two-thirds
to 988.

Hyundai, AP notes, has sold 358,484 vehicles in the U.S. this
year, compared with 388,639 a year earlier.

Meanwhile, English.chosun.com reported that Hyundai Motor will
stop making its large Equus sedan next month.

English.chosun.com recounts that the Equus was launched in Korea
in April 1999.  But after Hyundai’s first rear-wheel-drive luxury
sedan Genesis was launched in January this year, Equus sales
plummeted, and only 374 were sold in September.

                     About Hyundai Motor

Headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, Hyundai Motor Company
-- http://www.hyundai-motor.com/-- has been selling cars in the
U.S. since 1986, but it only started selling its heavy trucks
stateside in 1998.  Hyundai produces 14 models of cars, SUVs,
and minivans, as well as trucks, buses, and other commercial
vehicles.  The company reestablished itself as South Korea's
leading carmaker in 1998 by acquiring a 51% stake in Kia Motors
(since reduced to about 43%).  Hyundai's models for the North
American market include the Accent and Sonata; models sold
elsewhere include the GRD and Equus.  The company also
manufactures machine tools for factory automation and material-
handling equipment.

The Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific reported that the
Hyundai Automotive Group is facing its deepest crisis since
chairman Chung Mong-koo took over in 1999, with problems like
the steep drop of the United States dollar, high oil prices and
union demands aggravated by a sweeping criminal investigation
regarding the carmaker's alleged creation of slush funds that
were used by at least two lobbyists to bribe government
officials for business favors, including having KRW55 billion of
Hyundai's bad debts written off.

Chairman Chung was indicted early in May 2006 for fraud charges.

Some of the group's official business has been on hold since the
probe on the slush fund started and several top executives were
summoned for questioning.

On Feb. 5, 2007, a South Korean court handed down the sentence
to Mr. Chung for illegally raising US$110 million in slush funds
and bribing government officials.  Mr. Chung was released on
bond and continues to run the auto conglomerate.

In May 2008, Yonhap News reported that a group of the company's
shareholders filed a civil case against Mr. Chung to claim
damages for heavy losses allegedly suffered through his
mismanagement and other corporate shenanigans.

According to the report, the shareholders, led by a civic group
called Solidarity for Economic Reform, filed the lawsuit with
the Seoul Central District Court, asking Mr. Chung to pay
KRW563 billion (US$537 million) in damages to Hyundai Motor.

The lawsuit came a day after prosecutors again demanded a six-
year jail term for Mr. Chung for embezzlement and breach of
trust, Yonhap said.

Tuesday's edition of the TCR-AP delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-AP editors from a variety of outside
sources during the prior week we think are reliable.   Those
sources may not, however, be complete or accurate.  The Tuesday
Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to
publication.  Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual
trades.  Prices for actual trades are probably different.  Our
objective is to share information, not make markets in publicly
traded securities.  Nothing in the TCR-AP constitutes an offer
or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind.  It is
likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR-AP editor holds
some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities
about which we report.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Wednesday's edition of the TCR-AP. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com

Friday's edition of the TCR-AP features a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on the
latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication.  At first glance, this list may look like the
definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical
cost net of depreciation may understate the true value of a
firm's assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance
sheet for liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at
which equity securities trade in public market are determined by
more than a balance sheet solvency test.
