MTM ENTERTAINMENT: Babcock & Brown Increases Stake To 47.04%
------------------------------------------------------------
Babcock & Brown Group increased its relevant interest in MTM
Entertainment Trust on 18 July 2001, from 36,552,151 ordinary
units (45.69 percent) to 37,629,391 ordinary units (47.04
percent).


ONE.TEL LIMITED: Creditors' To Meet On July 24
----------------------------------------------
Administrators P M Walker and S J Sherman announces that the
meeting of the creditors of One.Tel Limited will be held at the
Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre Darling Harbour,
"Harbourside Auditorium 1" Darling Drive, Pyrmont NSW 2009, on
Tuesday, 24 July 2001 commencing at 11.00am.

Creditors are requested to arrive at 10.30am to complete the
necessary attendance registers.

The purpose of the meeting is:

   a. To consider the Voluntary Administrators' Report;

   b. For creditors to resolve that:

      * The company execute a deed of company arrangement; or

      * The administration should end; or

      * The company be wound up.

   c. To consider a resolution approving the Voluntary
Administrators' remuneration for the period of the Voluntary
Administration.

   d. To consider any other business that may be properly
brought before the meeting.


ONE.TEL LIMITED: Telstra's Claim Increases To $36M
--------------------------------------------------
Telstra's exposure to collapsed One.Tel Limited has risen to $36
million, AAP reports Thursday, citing the Australian Financial
Review. This, however, did not include the claim of Telstra's
wholly owned subsidiary Network Design and Construction against
One.Tel amounting to $25 million.

As quoted by AAP, the Review said that claim, which was listed
in the list of creditors, was made against One.Tel Networks Pty
Ltd, which is the operator of One.Tel's Next Generation GSM
network.


PMP LIMITED: To Review Publishing Rights, Titles
------------------------------------------------
As previously advised to the market, the carrying value of the
PMP Limited's publishing rights and titles will be reviewed as
part of the PMP Board's consideration of the full year results
to 30 June 2001.

The review is likely to result in a non-cash writedown to the
value of the publishing rights and titles in the company's
balance sheet, which does not affect the trading performance of
the publishing operations of the PMP Group.

At 31 December 2000 the Australian and New Zealand publishing
rights and titles were carried in the balance sheet at $552
million. The proposed joint venture with the Seven Network
Limited announced on 9 July 2001 implicitly values the
Australian and New Zealand publishing business at $140 million.

Given that implicit value, a writedown within the range of $400
to $420 million is indicated. Directors will determine the final
writedown when they finalize the 30 June balance sheet.

The UK mastheads will continue to be carried in the company's
balance sheet at cost.

The final amount of the writedown of the publishing rights and
titles can only be determined by the Board in conjunction with
the completion and audit of the 30 June accounts. These accounts
are scheduled for release to the market on 30 August 2001.

Factors relevant to determining the final amount of the
writedown will include:

   * finalizing the recently announced alliance with Seven
Network
Limited, in particular the proposed joint venture of the
Australian and New Zealand magazines;

   * the full year earnings results for the Australian and New
Zealand magazines;

   * assessment of future earnings of those magazines; and

   * other strategic matters and market conditions affecting the
underlying carrying value of the publishing assets.

Other non-cash balance sheet related items to be considered by
Directors (amongst other items) in finalizing the company's
annual accounts include the carrying value of goodwill and trade
names associated with Show Ads and Gordon and Gotch.

Coal sales for the June quarter of 2001 totaled 416,000 tons, in
line with forecasts.

Coal production was 494,000 tons, a 6 percent increase on the
previous quarter and 21 percent increase on the same period last
year, and reflects the ramp up in mining rates and stock
building to attain a higher sales level.

Sebuku is currently operating at the target rate of 2 million
tons per annum (mtpa), 3 months ahead of schedule. Expected
sales for 2001 are 1.8mtpa.

The increased production capacity will take advantage of the
continued strength in coal prices and Sebuku is forecast to
produce strong cash flows in the second half of 2001 and in
2002.

Feasibility Study

NIFTY

A drill program targeting leachable ore below the current pit
shell is in progress. The holes are being drilled within the
Nifty resource targeted at the base of the planned pit to
establish the grade and mineralogy for potential further
expansion of the leachable operation. Drilling has intersected
chalcocite and chalcopyrite mineralization as predicted.

A scoping level comparative analysis of development options for
the larger Nifty sulphide resource was completed during the
quarter. The study indicated both operational and financial
advantages in considering the underground option in preference
to a large open pit development. A decision will be made shortly
on the scope and timetable for a full feasibility study into the
preferred option.

TRITTON - NEW SOUTH WALES

In 1999 Straits sold its 50% interest in the Tritton Copper
Project to its Joint Venture Partner Nord Pacific Limited and
Nord Australex Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary ("Nord").
The Tritton Sale Agreement provides for a series of payments to
be made to Straits by Nord. Nord failed to make the scheduled
progress payment of $750,000 due on 1 June 2001. Nord failed to
rectify the default in terms of the agreement and to protect its
interests in respect of the outstanding payments, Straits
appointed a receiver over the Tritton assets on 13 June 2001. A
consequence of the default under the Sale Agreement is that the
balance of the scheduled unconditional payments also become due
and payable, so that including the June 1 payment, the sum now
due and payable is $2,250,000. Nord has indicated that it will
table a proposal shortly to Straits with a view to resolving the
matter.

Corporate

Debt Refinancing

During the June quarter the Company restructured its primary
debt facility with ABN AMRO Australia Limited (AAA). Straits
(Nifty) Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary, has entered into a
limited recourse project finance facility with AAA providing the
company with a US$32.5 million term loan facility, a US$2
million working capital facility and a A$1.5 million bank
guarantee facility. The facility matures in October 2007 and is
secured over the assets of Straits (Nifty) Pty Ltd. The proceeds
from the term loan were used mainly to re-finance the company's
existing loan facility with AAA. In addition, funds were used
for working capital and to repay WMC Resources Ltd (WMC) $6
million as further part payment of the deferred liability owing
to WMC for the Nifty copper acquisition. The balance of the
deferred liability to WMC is now $4 million due on 31 December
2002.

In parallel with this restructure PTBCS, the company's
Indonesian operating company entered into a 3 year term facility
of US$5 million with NM Rothschilds & Sons (Australia) Limited
to refinance the existing shareholder loans provided for mine
development. The facility is secured over the assets of PTBCS
only, being principally the Sebuku coal mine.

AAA has provided to Straits Resources Limited a bank guarantee
facility of A$1.0 million to cover its requirement to lodge
performance bonds. The facility matures in October 2007 and is
secured over the assets of the company.

The Company also announced a 1:4 non-renounceable rights issue
to raise $8 million through a fully underwritten offer to
shareholders at $0.54 per share, of which $0.27 is payable on
acceptance and $0.27 is payable on 30 November 2002. The second
tranche will be applied to the final payment due to WMC.

Risk Management

At the end of the quarter, the Company's hedging program
comprised -

   Currency

   1. Straits Nifty (Pty) Ltd has bought options over US$8.45
million with maturities to December 2001 under which the Company
has the right to sell US Dollars at an exchange rate of A$1.00 =
US$0.6471 if the exchange rate on the expiry date of the options
is above US$0.6471.

   2. Straits Nifty (Pty) Ltd has sold options over US$15
million with maturities to December 2001 under which the Company
will be obliged to sell US Dollars at an exchange rate of A$1.00
= US$0.6471 if the exchange rate on the expiry date of the
option is below US$0.6471.

   3. Straits (Nifty) Pty Ltd, as part of the debt refinancing,
has restructured the forward exchange contract book as follows:

     * US$86 million with maturities between March 2002 and June
2006 at a weighted average exchange rate of A$1.00 = US$0.5861

     * US$1.8 million maturing in July 2001 at an exchange rate
of A$1.00 = US$0.64716.

   Copper Metal

   1. Straits (Nifty) Pty Ltd has bought put options totaling
5,400 tons of copper with maturities to September 2001 under
which the company has the right to sell metal at US$1600 per ton
if the copper price is below US$1600 per ton on the expiry date
of the options.


STRAITS RESOURCES: Boosts Production At Core Operations
-------------------------------------------------------
In the company's June 2001 quarterly report released Thursday,
Straits Resources Limited (ASX: SRL, Straits) reported excellent
production figures for their two main operations, the Nifty
copper operation in Western Australia and the Sebuku Coal Mine
in Indonesia.

Commenting on the report, Straits' Chief Executive, Brian Rear
said, "Our operational performance at Nifty and Sebuku has shown
continued improvement.

"Copper cathode production at Nifty was 5,466 tons in the June
quarter, up 70 percent on the same period last year. This was
achieved while maintaining low operating cash costs of
$US$0.41/lb.

"The production increase comes on the back of improved operating
efficiencies and the practical completion of an upgrade of the
Nifty plant. The upgrade lifts the plant's maximum capacity from
its initial design parameters of 16,000tpa to the current
25,000tpa. Plant trials and commissioning have commenced, and
the mine is expected to complete the final ramp up by the fourth
quarter."

Half-yearly production at Nifty was 11,277 tons, an increase of
56 percent on the same period last year, with operating cash
costs at  $US$0.40/lb.

Half-yearly production at Girilambone was 1,028 tons at a cash
cost of US$0.30/lb for the quarter. The operation is winding
down, and is anticipated that production will cease at the end
of 2001.

Sebuku Raises Coal Production

Straits' coal mine, Sebuku, also increased production for the
quarter to 494,000 tons, up 21 percent on the corresponding
period last year, and up 6 percent on the March 2001 quarter
result. The increase reflects the ramp up in mining rates and
stock building.

"With the continued strength in coal prices, Straits has quickly
ramped up production at Sebuku to take advantage of improved
operating margins.

"As such, the mine is now operating at a capacity rate of 2
million tpa, nearly 3 months ahead of schedule. We forecast
sales of 1.8 million tons for the year," Mr Rear said.

Coal sales also increased in the quarter to 416,000 tons, up 3.6
percent from the previous quarter.

Sales Revenue Up 17%, Debt Refinancing Completed

The increased copper and coal production contributed to improved
sales revenue for the half-year of $59.8 million, up 17 percent
on the same period last year.

The company also completed the restructuring of its primary debt
facility with ABN AMRO Australia Limited for the Nifty
operation. The refinancing provides the company with a US$32.5
million term loan facility, a US$2 million working capital
facility and a A$1.5 million bank guarantee facility.

Sebuku was also refinanced with a US$5m limited recourse project
finance facility provided by NM Rothschild & Sons (Australia)
Limited.

On 30 May, Straits announced a 1-for-4 non-renounceable rights
issue to raise $8m. The fully underwritten issue, offered at
$0.54 per share, partly-paid to $0.27 each is intended to fund
the repayment of the balance owing for the purchase Nifty Copper
Operation from WMC Resources Ltd.

Financial Restructuring Proposal

The board of directors of Fourseas.com proposes to effect the
Financial Restructuring Proposal, which comprises the following
components:

   1. Capital Reorganization

      As at the date of this announcement, the authorized share
capital of Fourseas.com is HK$200,000,000 comprising
10,000,000,000 Existing Shares, of which 3,807,825,580 Existing
Shares have been allotted, issued and fully paid or credited as
fully paid. It is proposed that the share capital of
Fourseas.com be reorganized in the following manner:

     (i) Share Consolidation - Every ten issued and unissued
Existing Shares will be consolidated into an issued/unissued
share of HK$0.20 each in the share capital of Fourseas.com.
Immediately following the Share Consolidation and based on the
Existing Shares in issue, the issued share capital of
Fourseas.com will comprise 380,782,558 issued shares and
619,217,442 unissued shares of HK$0.20 each in the share capital
of Fourseas.com.

     (ii) Capital Reduction - The nominal value of each of the
380,782,558 issued shares and 619,217,442 unissued shares of
HK$0.20 each in the share capital of Fourseas.com will be
reduced from HK$0.20 to HK$0.02 by canceling HK$0.18 paid up on
each issued share of HK$0.20 each in the share capital of
Fourseas.com. Accordingly, the existing issued share capital of
Fourseas.com of HK$76,156,511.60 will be reduced by
HK$68,540,860.44 to HK$7,615,651.16, and the unissued share
capital of Fourseas.com of HK$123,843,488.40 will be reduced by
HK$111,459,139.56 to HK$12,384,348.84, so that the authorized
share capital will be reduced from HK$200,000,000 to
HK$20,000,000. The credit arising from the Capital Reduction
will be credited to the special capital reserve account for the
reduction of the issued share capital of Fourseas.com.

     (iii) Increase of Capital - The authorized share capital of
Fourseas.com will be increased from HK$20,000,000 divided into
1,000,000,000 New Shares (after the Share Consolidation and the
Capital Reduction) to HK$200,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000
New Shares.

Subject to the approval by the Independent Shareholders at the

on normal commercial terms with reference to the borrowing costs
of Fourseas.com. Presently, all the bank borrowings of

   (D) Implications under the Listing Rules and Takeovers Code

The terms of the Subscription Agreement were agreed upon after
arm's length negotiation amongst Giant Glory, Fourseas.com and
SCIT after taking into account the current financial position
and business situation of Fourseas.com. As at the date of this
announcement, SCIT, through Universal Yield Limited, a wholly
owned subsidiary of SCIT, holds 1,693,824,960 Existing Shares
representing approximately 44.48 percent of the existing issued
share capital of Fourseas.com. Upon completion of the Disposal
Agreement, a wholly owned subsidiary of SCIT will become a
substantial shareholder of the Travel Business Companies.
Pursuant to paragraph 19 of the listing agreement entered into
between Fourseas.com and the Stock Exchange and due to the fact
that SCIT is a party to the Subscription Agreement, the
Subscription Agreement is subject to the approval of the
Independent Shareholders at the Special General Meeting.

Both the granting of the Put Option by and the disposal of the
Option Interest to SCIT pursuant to the exercise of the Put
Option constitutes connected transactions for Fourseas.com in
accordance with the Listing Rules.

As such, both the granting and the exercise of the Put Option
are subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at
the Special General Meeting. Should the Put Option be exercised,
separate announcements will be made by Fourseas.com and SCIT.

In the event that the Put Option is exercised, Fourseas.com may
or may not have sufficient level of operations or tangible
assets of sufficient value to warrant the continual listing of
the shares of Fourseas.com on the Stock Exchange in accordance
with paragraph 38 of the listing agreement entered into between
Fourseas.com and the Stock Exchange. Giant Glory and its
directors and the new directors to be appointed to the board of
Fourseas.com are fully aware of such requirements under the
Listing Rules.

SCIT intends to procure that Fourseas.com be released from the
Guarantees by providing replacement guarantees and other forms
of security to the banks in whose favor the Guarantees were
granted, or repaying the borrowings secured by the Guarantees.
If any of the Guarantees is not released upon completion of the
Disposal Agreement, the subsistence of such Guarantee will
constitute a connected transaction for Fourseas.com and in such
event, appropriate disclosure and shareholders' approval
requirements will be complied with as stipulated under Chapter
14 of the Listing Rules.

The granting of the Put Option by SCIT to Fourseas.com, when
aggregated (as if the Put Option had been exercised) with the
Disposal Agreement, together constitutes a discloseable
transaction for SCIT under the Listing Rules. Pursuant to the
relevant requirements of the Listing Rules, a circular setting
out further details of the transactions will be sent to the
shareholders of SCIT as soon as practicable. Since SCIT will
comply with the relevant requirements under Chapter 14 of the
Listing Rules up-front in relation to both the granting of the
Put Option and the exercise thereof, as if the Put Option had
been exercised, as a discloseable transaction for SCIT, SCIT
will not be required to comply with any further requirements
under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules upon the exercise of the
Put Option (if any) as a discloseable transaction for SCIT.

As the use of the entire proceeds from the Subscription
Agreement and part of the proceeds from the exercise of Put
Option apply only to SCIT for repayment of Shareholders' Loan
and will not be extended to all shareholders of Fourseas.com,
the consent of the Executive is required under Rule 25 of the
Takeovers Code. In this respect, the directors of Fourseas.com
have confirmed that Fourseas.com will use all reasonable
endeavours to seek the acknowledgement or confirmation in
writing from its existing creditors (other than normal day-to-
day trade creditors) (as of the date of this announcement) in
the terms as referred to in condition precedent (xiii) to the
Subscription Agreement. The directors of Fourseas.com also
confirm that its existing creditors (other than normal day-to-
day trade creditors) as of the date of this announcement
comprise a few banks in whose favour the Guarantees were granted
in relation to bank borrowings of approximately HK$107,000,000.

respectively (based on their respective unaudited net asset

the parties to the Disposal Agreement agreed that the Excluded
Property should not be included in the Property Companies and
the TBC Properties Transfer. The Excluded Property will be
retained by one of the Travel Business Companies upon completion
of the Disposal Agreement and the TBC Properties Transfer. The
aggregate mortgage loan for all the properties held by the

approximately HK$107 million as at the date of this

The pro forma unaudited combined results for the year ended 31st
December, 2000 of the Property Companies and the Travel Business

unaudited combined results for the period from 1st April, 1999

HK$15,000,000 and approximately HK$21,100,000 respectively. The
above proforma figures have all taken into account the TBC
Properties Transfer. For the period from 1 January 2001 to 31
March 2001, the Travel Business Companies recorded a turnover of
approximately HK$166,200,000 and a net loss of approximately
HK$2,400,000.

   (D) Implications under the Listing Rules and Takeovers Code

Upon completion of the Disposal Agreement, Fourseas.com will be
principally engaged in the Travel Business through its holding
of 51% interest in each of the Travel Business Companies.

Four Seas Travel is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fourseas.com,
and SCIT, at present, through Universal Yield Limited, a wholly
owned subsidiary of SCIT, holds approximately 44.48 per cent. of
the existing issued share capital of Fourseas.com. The Disposal
Agreement constitutes a connected and major transaction for
Fourseas.com under the Listing Rules, and is therefore subject
to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the Special
General Meeting. A circular containing further details regarding
the Disposal Agreement (including an independent valuation
report) will be sent to all Shareholders as soon as practicable.
The directors of Fourseas.com consider that the terms of the
Disposal Agreement are fair and reasonable as far as the
Independent Shareholders are concerned.

The Disposal Agreement, when aggregated with the granting of the
Put Option by SCIT to Fourseas.com (as if the Put Option had
been exercised) together constitute a discloseable transaction
for SCIT under the Listing Rules. Pursuant to the relevant
requirements of the Listing Rules, a circular setting out
further details of the transactions will be sent to the
shareholders of SCIT as soon as practicable.

As the terms of the Disposal Agreement relating to the disposal
of the entire interest of the Property Companies and 49 percent
interest in each of the Travel Business Companies will not be
extended to all shareholders of Fourseas.com, the Disposal
Agreement is considered a special deal under Rule 25 of the
Takeovers Code and therefore requires the consent of the
Executive.

4. The Management Agreement

(A) Major terms

       Date: 18 June 2001

       Parties: Fourseas.com, the Travel Business Companies and
SCIT
Services and

which are customary and usual for the operation of similar type
of businesses and that SCIT shall consider appropriate for the
proper conduct and operation of the Travel Business and all
necessary advice and guidance in respect thereof to the Travel
Business Companies (and their subsidiaries from time to time)
for a term of six years commencing from the Completion Date (the
"Term").

                SCIT shall have the authority, in its sole and
absolute discretion, to determine and pay and grant (on behalf
of the relevant Travel Business Companies) the remuneration,
benefits and other incentives, including the payment of any
bonus (in cash, shares in the Travel Business Companies or
otherwise) or to grant any share options, to be payable or to be
granted by the Travel Business Companies to any staff employed
in the Travel Business Companies. However, no shares or options
may be issued or granted within 18 months after completion of
the Subscription Agreement and the total number of shares issued
shall be not more than 5 percent of the enlarged issued share
capital of any of the Travel Business Company

       Management fee: In consideration for the provision of the
management services by SCIT during the Term, the Travel Business
Companies shall pay to SCIT an annual management fee in arrears
in the sum of HK$2,000,000 for the first 12 months and
thereafter to be increased annually at the rate equivalent to
the increase in the Composite Consumer Price Index of the
previous 12-month period plus an increase equivalent to 0.5 per
cent. of the increase in the trading turnover of the Travel
Business Companies over such 12-month period. Such management
fees are payable to SCIT on the day immediately succeeding the
anniversary of the Completion Date. Such management fee of
HK$2,000,000 for the first 12 months was arrived at among
Fourseas.com, the Travel Business Companies and SCIT with
reference to the fees payable by Fourseas.com to SCIT Group for
the last two financial years. A management fee of HK$2,000,000
was charged by SCIT Group to the Fourseas.com Group for each of
the period from 1st April, 1999 to 31 December 1999 and for the
year ended 31 December 2000.

       Finance: (i) SCIT unconditionally and irrevocably
undertakes with Fourseas.com and the Travel Business Companies
that it is solely responsible (without recourse against
Fourseas.com or any of its subsidiaries) for the provision of
the normal working capital (after giving credit to the income
and other payments received by the Travel Business Companies)
for the operation of the Travel Business Companies for a period
of 12 months after the Completion Date.

               (ii) For the period commencing from the
expiration of 12 months from the Completion Date and ending on
the date of termination of the Management Agreement, if
requested by SCIT, Fourseas.com shall provide or procure the
provision of funding support by way of loan to one or more of
the Travel Business Companies provided that the amount of
funding support payable during each of the following periods
shall not exceed the following amounts:

Period (No. of days after Completion Date)  Amount (HK$)
  366 to 730 8,000,000
  731 to 1095 10,000,000
  1096 to 1460 12,000,000
  1461 to 1825 14,000,000
  1826 to 2190 16,000,000

There are no predetermined terms of such loans to the Travel
Business Companies except that Fourseas.com has undertaken not
to call for repayment of such loans during the term of the
Management Agreement. Unless the parties to the Management
Agreement otherwise agree, the maximum amount of funding support
to be provided by Fourseas.com to SCIT would not be varied if
any one of the Travel Business Companies is wound up. It is the
intention of SCIT that it would only make request for funding
support when the Travel Business Companies require financial
support.

       Default: If Fourseas.com breaches its obligation by
failing to provide the funding support or if the Travel Business
Companies shall fail to pay the management fees as provided

   (B) Implications under the Listing Rules and the Takeovers
Code

All the Travel Business Companies are indirect wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Fourseas.com, and SCIT, as at the date of this
announcement, through Universal Yield Limited, a wholly owned
subsidiary of SCIT, holds approximately 44.48 per cent. of the
existing issued share capital of Fourseas.com. The Management
Agreement will constitute an ongoing connected transaction for
Fourseas.com in accordance with the Listing Rules, and is
therefore subject to the approval of the Independent
Shareholders at the Special General Meeting. The directors of
Fourseas.com consider that the terms of the Management Agreement
and the Joint Venture Deeds are fair and reasonable as far as
the Independent Shareholders are concerned.
Further announcement will be made by Fourseas.com in respect of
the on-going connected transaction as contemplated under the
Management Agreement.

An application will be made to the Stock Exchange for a waiver
from strict compliance with the requirements of Chapter 14 of
the Listing Rules in relation to the ongoing connected
transaction in respect of Fourseas.com under the Management
Agreement.

As the terms of the Management Agreement and the Joint Venture
Deeds will not be extended to all shareholders of Fourseas.com,
the Management Agreement and the Joint Venture Deeds are
considered a special deal under Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code
and therefore requires the consent of the Executive.

In the event that the financial assistance to be granted by
Fourseas.com to the Travel Business Companies is not in
proportion to its equity interests in such companies,
appropriate disclosure and shareholders' approval requirements
will be complied with as stipulated under Chapter 14 of the
Listing Rules.

In the event that SCIT exercises its authority to grant any
share options of the Travel Business Companies to any staff
employed in the Travel Business Companies in accordance with the
Management Agreement, appropriate disclosure and shareholders'
approval requirements will be complied with as stipulated under
Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.
In the event that Fourseas.com breaches its obligation by
failing to provide the funding support or the Travel Business
Companies shall fail to pay the management fees pursuant to the
Management Agreement, Fourseas.com is obliged to transfer the
Option Interest to SCIT. In such event, appropriate disclosure
and shareholders' approval requirements will be complied with as
stipulated under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Reasons For Financial Restructuring Proposal

Capital Reorganization

Under Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (as amended), companies
incorporated in Bermuda are not permitted to issue shares at a
price below their nominal value. As detailed below, the
Financial Restructuring Proposal involves, among other things,
the issue of the Subscription Shares at HK$0.02, which is
effectively less than the nominal value of the shares of HK$0.20
each in the share capital of Fourseas.com after the Share
Consolidation. Accordingly, the Capital Reorganization is
required to reduce the nominal value of the shares of
Fourseas.com from HK$0.20 (after Share Consolidation) each to
HK$0.02 each, hence facilitating the subscription of
Subscription Shares and any future equity fund raising
activities of Fourseas.com.

The Subscription Agreement

As stated in the latest annual report of Fourseas.com for the
year ended 31 December 2000, the shareholders' fund increased
from a deficit of approximately HK$4,400,000 for the year ended
31 December 1999 to a surplus of approximately HK$20,300,000 for
the year ended 31st December, 2000. Such increase in the
shareholders' fund was mainly due to the enlarged share capital
of Fourseas.com arising from an open offer of the shares of
Fourseas.com on 17 July 2000 and the exercise of the outstanding
warrants of Fourseas.com for the period from 1 January 2000 to
31 December 2000. Nevertheless, the deficit in reserves of
Fourseas.com increased from approximately HK$22,700,000to
approximately HK$55,800,000 mainly due to the losses, in
particular the financial costs, incurred made for the year ended
31 December 2000. In light of the tightened financial position,
the directors of Fourseas.com consider that the subscription of
Subscription Shares will substantially reduce the existing
indebtedness and increase the capital base of Fourseas.com.

As Giant Glory does not have any prior experience in the running
of the travel business, they consider that the Put Option would
give Fourseas.com flexibility if its management decides they do
not wish to continue to run the Travel Business. However, Giant
Glory is fully aware that if the Put Option is exercised,
Fourseas.com may not have a sufficient level of operations to
warrant the listing of its shares on the Stock Exchange.

The Disposal Agreement

The directors of Fourseas.com consider that the properties of
Fourseas.com comprise relatively illiquid real properties
located in Hong Kong and the PRC. As stated in the 1999 and 2000
annual reports of Fourseas.com, the Fourseas.com Group intended
to reduce bank borrowings by disposing of some of its investment
properties portfolio in order to improve its cash flow position.
Fourseas.com has attempted to dispose of some of the properties
in the past two years without success.

In view of the sustained losses during the past four financial
years amounting to an aggregate of approximately HK$206,200,000
which was mainly attributable to the finance costs and losses
from the operations of the Fourseas.com Group, Fourseas.com has
been experiencing tightened financial position in carrying the
properties which are substantially mortgaged to banks, and
meeting the existing liability obligations to the banks.

As stated in the 2000 annual report of Fourseas.com, the gross
rental income for the year ended 31 December 1999 and 31
December 2000 were approximately HK$3,600,000 and approximately
HK$3,800,000 respectively whereas the finance cost for the
corresponding periods were approximately HK$21,200,000 and
approximately HK$17,000,000 respectively.

Meanwhile, Fourseas.com had a net cash outflow from the
operating activities and payment of finance costs. Presently,
the daily operation and repayment of bank borrowings of
Fourseas.com are substantially and sometimes wholly financed by
SCIT. The disposal of the entire interest of the Property
Companies and 49 percent interests in the Travel Business
Companies will help to alleviate worsening financial situation
of Fourseas.com in respect of loans repayment.

Upon completion of the Disposal Agreement, Fourseas.com will be
able to reduce the annual finance costs substantially to a
negligible amount. The bank borrowings and shareholders' loan
will be reduced by approximately HK$107,000,000 and
HK$70,000,000 respectively as at the date of this announcement
upon such completion.

The Management Agreement

Upon completion of the Subscription Agreement and the Disposal
Agreement, the principal activities of the Fourseas.com Group
will be the Travel Business and the existing executive directors
of Fourseas.com will resign and new directors are proposed to be
appointed to the board of Fourseas.com. As the proposed
executive directors of Fourseas.com (details of their
biographies have been set out in the section headed "Intention
of Giant Glory regarding the Fourseas.com Group" below) have no
direct experience in managing the Travel Business, Fourseas.com
and the Travel Business Companies have entered into the
Management Agreement with SCIT in order to ascertain a smooth
operation of the Travel Business Companies before and after
completion of the Subscription Agreement and the Disposal
Agreement.

principally engaged in information and technology related
businesses, implementation and marketing of software

SCIT entered into the Subscription Agreement, Disposal Agreement

technology businesses.

warrantholders to a date not later than 26 July 2001. This is in
relation to the proposed financial restructuring of the

In SCIT's Announcement, it was reported inter alia, that SCIT,
Fourseas.com and Giant Glory entered on 18 June 2001 into the
Subscription Agreement, Disposal Agreement, and the Management
Agreement to effect Fourseas.com Limited's Financial

The acquisition of the entire issued capital of the Property

GREATER BEIJING: Talks With Potential Buyers Ongoing
----------------------------------------------------
Talks between liquidators of Greater Beijing First Expressways
(GBFE), a toll-road operator, and potential buyers over the sale
of two toll roads run by GBFE, South China Morning Post reported
yesterday. GBFE owes creditors US$400 million, most of which
arising from the US$300 million bonds issued in 1998.

"Given the amount of funds owed by Greater Beijing First
Expressways to large foreign noteholders, it is important that
this liquidation be viewed as a model for future recoveries for
foreign creditors," Joanne Oswin told Post. Ms Oswin is one of
the joint liquidators and a partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Greater Beijing First Expressways collapsed in April of last
year. It was running toll roads in Hebei and Tianjin through
joint ventures with state-owned Hebei Expressway Development and
Tianjin Highway Construction.

Note trustee Chase Manhattan Bank in 1999 filed the application
for the GBFE to be placed under provisional liquidation, Post
said.

Hong Che Court (Block 1), Sun Hing Garden, 2 On Po Lane, Tai Po,
New Territories, Hong Kong.


PSINET INC: Enters Deal To Sell HK Unit Shares
----------------------------------------------
PSINet's made a deal to sell the shares of PSINet Hong Kong at a
Purchase Price of HK$148 million (equivalent to approximately
US$19.0 million), subject to competing offers and the approval
of the Bankruptcy Court.

Although the Debtors believe that the Share Purchase Agreement
they reached with the Buyer (Silver Linkage) is fair and
reasonable and reflects the highest and best value for the
Shares as of the date of the motion, they would like to expose
the Agreement to the test of the broader public marketplace, in
the hope of obtaining better and higher offers.

Thus, the Debtors intend to solicit competing bids and possibly
conduct a public auction while the Share Purchase Agreement
grants Silver Linkage certain termination rights and stalking
horse bidder protections and imposes on the Debtors certain
requirements regarding the conduct of the Auction.  The Buyer's
obligation to purchase the Shares is expressly conditioned on
Court approval of these provisions.

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Debtors must also
conduct the sale consistent with the timeframes negotiated:
Silver Linkage may terminate the Share Purchase Agreement and be
entitled to a Termination Fee of HK$4.3 million (approximately
equivalent to US$551,282) and Expense Reimbursement of up to
HK$1.5 million (approximately equivalent to US$192,308) if the
Sale Order is not approved within 35 days after approval of the
Sale Procedures Order or if the Sale does not close by September
30, 2001. The Share Purchase Agreement also provides for closing
to occur 2 business days following the day on which certain
conditions in the Share Purchase Agreement are satisfied or
waived.

Thus, the Debtors propose the Bidding Deadline be set for August
13, 2001, at noon prevailing Eastern time and the Auction Date
be set for August 16, 2001 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time if one or
more competing offers for the shares are received in compliance
with the Bidding Procedures.

The Debtors request that the Sale Hearing be held on August 20,
2001 at 9:45 am Eastern time if the Sale Procedures are
approved. The Debtors propose that the deadline for receiving
any objections to the Sale be August 10, 2001, 4:00 pm. At the
Sale Hearing, the Debtors will request the Court to either:

(i)  authorize the Debtors to consummate the Share Purchase
Agreement that provides the sale of the Shares to Silver
Linkage Investments Inc. or one or more of its subsidiaries
the "Buyer") for HK$148 million in cash (subject to certain
adjustments and escrows), which is approximately US$19.0
million (subject to fluctuations in currency values), free
and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and interests,
if no qualifying Competing Offers have been submitted, or

(ii) confirm the results of the Auction and approve the sale of
the Shares to the bidder who has made the highest and best
offer (the "Winning Bid"), and grant related relief;

A hearing to consider the entry of the Sale Procedures Order has
been set for July 19, 2001 at 9:45 am prevailing eastern time
before Judge Gerber. Any objections must be actually received on
or before July 17, 2001 at 4:00 p.m. prevailing eastern time.

In the motion presented to the Court, the Debtors, by their
attorneys, Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering, ask the Court, pursuant
to Sections 105, 363, 365 and 1146 of the Bankruptcy Code and
Rules 2002, 6004, 6006 and 9014 of the Bankruptcy Rules, for
entry of

(I)  a Sale Procedures Order:

(1) approving sale procedures, including a minimum overbid
amount, bidding increments and payment of atermination
fee and expense reimbursement in certain circumstances;

(2) scheduling a bidding deadline and hearing to consider
approval of the Sale; and

(3) approving the form and manner of notice thereof;

(II) a Sale Order:

(1) authorizing the sale of all of the issued ordinary shares
(the "Shares") of PSINet Hong Kong Limited (the
"Company") by PSINet North America Holdings Inc.
("PSINA"), free and clear of all liens, claims,
encumbrances and interests, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Share Purchase Agreement and subject to
higher and better offers;

(2) approving the terms and conditions of that certain Share
Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 6, 2001, by and
between PSINet and PSINA (collectively, the "Sellers"),
on the one hand, and Silver Linkage, on the other hand
(the "Share Purchase Agreement"), and approving certain
related agreements;

(3) determining that the Sale is exempt from any stamp,
transfer, recording or similar tax; and

(4) authorizing assumption of the Share Purchase Agreement
and a related Escrow Agreement by PSINA.

                  Sales Procedures

(A) Solicitation of Offers, Bidding, Auction, Sale Hearing Dates

(1) The Debtors request the Court's authority to solicit bids
for a competing transaction, whether a proposed
Restructuring Transaction or a proposed purchase,
restructuring, reorganization, liquidation, or other
disposition, directly or indirectly, involving any Shares
or any material portion of the assets of a Hong Kong
Subsidiary (a "Competing Offer"), and if any Competing
Offers meeting the requirements of the Bidding Procedures
are received, to subsequently hold a public Auction. A
Restructuring Transaction means a recapitalization,
restructuring, reorganization, liquidation or other
ransaction involving the Sellers and their security and
claim holders that would prevent, is inconsistent with, or
does not contemplate, the sale of the Shares to Silver
Linkage or the consummation of the transactions or the
execution of the Related Agreements.

To help solicit higher and better offers, the Debtors have
retained DrKW to help them. In this regard, DrKW expects
that, amongst others:

* outgoing calls will be made to approximately 200-250
potentially interested parties who have been identified
as such from the DrKW's databases, as well as the
records of the Hong Kong Subsidiaries and the Debtors;

* advertisements will be placed;

? interested parties willing to enter into confidentiality
agreements will be provided with a detailed Offering
Memorandum describing the Debtors' assets, including the Hong
Kong Subsidiaries, on a region by region basis; and

* those parties that express an interest in purchasing the
Hong Kong Subsidiaries will be provided with a copy of
the Share Purchase Agreement.

At the same time, the Debtors -- through DrKW -- will
continue marketing the Shares and the assets of the Hong
Kong Subsidiaries both on a "segregated asset pool basis,"
and as part of a larger "package," and will continue to
pursue stand-alone alternatives.

(B) Bidding Procedures

(1) The Debtors will only consider a Competing Offer that:

* is submitted on or before the Bidding Deadline;

* is in writing in the form of the Share Purchase
Agreement;

* provides for aggregate consideration or value to the
Sellers' estates, when taken together with the value of
any Shares or assets of the Company that would be
retained by the Sellers under the Competing Offer, of at
least HK$157,800,000, which is approximately US$20.2
million, subject to fluctuations in currency values (the
"Minimum Overbid") (which reflects the sum of the
Buyer's Purchase Price of HK$148 million, plus the
Termination Fee of HK$4.3 million, plus the Expense
Reimbursement of HK$1.5 million, plus an overbid of HK$4
million);

* is not conditioned on the outcome of unperformed due
diligence by the bidder; and

* is accompanied by appropriate evidence, reasonably
satisfactory to the Debtors and the Creditors'
Committee, or if a dispute arises, to the Court, of a
bidder's financial ability to conclude a transaction on
or prior to September 30, 2001.
?
(2) If a qualifying Competing Offer is submitted, the Debtors
will commence the Auction at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on
the Auction Date (August 16, 2001) at the offices of
Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, 1301 Avenue of the
Americas, New York.

Only the Buyer and any prospective buyer who has timely
submitted a qualifying Competing Offer in conformity with
the Bidding Procedures will be entitled to participate in
the Auction. The Buyer will be entitled to make an verbid
and to credit bid the amount of the Termination Fee
against any such overbid.

At the Auction, bidding will begin with the highest
qualifying Competing Offer timely submitted on or before
the Bidding Deadline. All subsequent overbids must include
additional consideration of at least HK$4 million over the
previous bid, which is approximately US$512,821, subject
to fluctuations in currency values. The Auction will not
conclude until each participating bidder has had the
opportunity to submit any additional overbid with full
knowledge of the existing highest bid.

The Board of Directors of each Seller after consultation
with the Creditors' Committee will determine in good faith
whether a submitted Competing Offer complies with the
Bidding Procedures and whether the Share Purchase
Agreement or a submitted Competing Offer constitutes the
most favorable transaction for the Debtors' estates.
?
(3) When considering whether a Competing Offer is a higher
and better offer, the Debtors will consider the aggregate
consideration or value to the Sellers' estates, when taken
together with the value of any Shares or assets of the
Company that would be retained by the Sellers under the
Competing Offer or Restructuring Transaction. With respect
to the initial round of bidding, a Competing Offer will
not be considered to be a higher and better offer unless
such aggregate consideration or value is of an amount
equal to at least the Minimum Overbid. With respect to
each subsequent round of bidding, if any, such aggregate
consideration or value must be of at least HK$1.5 million
approximately US$192,308, subject to fluctuations in
currency values), in excess of the aggregate consideration
contained in the highest standing Competing Offer.

The most favorable bid will be submitted to the Court for
approval at the Sale Hearing.

(4) The Debtors may determine, in their business judgment,
which Competing Offer is the highest or best offer and
reject at any time before Court approval, any bid that, in
the Debtors' sole discretion, is (i) inadequate or
insufficient, (ii) not in conformity with the requirements
of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bidding Procedures or (iii)
contrary to the best interests of the Debtors, their
estates and their creditors.

(C) Notice of Auction, Bidding Procedures, Sale Hearing and
Objection Date
The Debtors propose to serve on or before July 30, 2001 (the
"Mailing Date") the Sale Notice as presented with the motion
for the Court's approval, upon:

or before July 30, 2001.

                             Sale Order

The Debtors seek the Court's order under Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code authorizing the sale of all of the issued
ordinary shares of PSINet Hong Kong Limited (the "Company"),
a non-Debtor subsidiary of PSINA organized under the laws of

other PSINet affiliates: LinkAge Webmedia Limited, Hong Kong

The Escrow Amount is governed by an Escrow Agreement, dated
as of July 6, 2001, by and between the Buyer, PSINA and
William W. L. Fan & Co., a Hong Kong law firm. Pursuant to
the Escrow Agreement, the parties would appoint an Escrow
Agent to receive and administer the Escrow Amount in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow
Agreement.

Following final determination of any adjustment to the
Purchase Price, a portion of the Escrow Amount equal to
HK$7,800,000 (the "Accounts Retention Amount") will be
released to Sellers or to Buyer or apportioned between the
two depending on the amount of such adjustment. In the event
that the Purchase Price is adjusted upward, Buyer will pay to
Sellers such additional amount up to a maximum of
HK$7,800,000, whereas if the Purchase Price is adjusted
downward Buyer shall be compensated accordingly from the
Escrow Amount up to a maximum of HK$7,800,000.

The remaining portion of the Escrow Amount equal to
HK$14,800,000 will be released to PSINA on the first
anniversary of Completion, as reduced by (i) any setoff
amounts previously paid to the Buyer, (ii) any setoff amounts
claimed by the Buyer remaining unresolved on such anniversary
and (iii) up to HK$1,480,000 if certain litigation or
arbitration proceedings have not been finally determined or
settled within the period ending three weeks before such
anniversary.

The Debtors represent that establishment of the escrow
account provides the Buyer security in the event the Sellers
fail to perform their obligations under the Share Purchase
Agreement. This arrangement, PSINet says, constitutes a
material inducement for the Buyer to enter into the Share
Purchase Agreement.

* Closing

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase
Agreement, the closing is to occur 2 business days following
the day on which all conditions in the Share Purchase
Agreement are satisfied or waived.

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the obligation to
close is subject to a number of conditions for each party,
including:

(1) Buyer may refuse to close if there has been a material
adverse change affecting the Hong Kong Subsidiaries as a
whole or the financial or trading position or prospects of
the Hong Kong Subsidiaries as a whole since March 31, 2001,
including if the consolidated revenue of the Hong Kong
Subsidiaries in any 24 calendar month subsequent to April
2001 is less than HK$12,420,000 ("Material Adverse Change");

(2) Buyer may refuse to close if it is not satisfied (in its
sole discretion) that

(a)  no Hong Kong Subsidiary has any obligation or liability
in respect of the LMDS License held by the Company,
certain agreements with affiliates of Winstar
Communications (the Winstar Agreements), any finance
facility or performance bond relating to the LMDS
License or the Winstar Agreements or any person who has
provided security in respect of any of these;

(b) all shares of PSINet Wireless Hong Kong Limited have
been sold or otherwise transferred by the Hong Kong
Subsidiaries; or
?
(c) any assignment, transfer or other acquisition or
disposal of shares in PSINet Wireless to or from a Hong
Kong Subsidiary after March 31, 2001 has taken place
with a person, and on terms, acceptable to the Buyer;
?
(3) Buyer may refuse to close if PSINet has not entered into
each of four related commercial agreements (namely, the
Global Strategic Marketing Agreement, the License
Agreement, the Strategic Support Agreement and the Initial
Network Services Agreement, each attached to the Share
Purchase Agreement, and collectively, the "Strategic
Agreements");

The Strategic Agreements are four related agreements that
collectively establish a framework under which PSINet, on
the one hand, and the Buyer, the Company or an affiliate of
it (each a "Strategic Agreement Counterparty"), on the other
hand, will continue providing Internet-related services to
their respective customers and in their respective regions
following the closing of the Sale. These are:

(a) Global Strategic Marketing Agreement

This agreement would establish the terms and pricing
under which

(i)  PSINet would provide specified Internet access and
web hosting services in countries being served by
PSINet to customers of the Strategic Agreement
Counterparty, and
ii) the Strategic Agreement Counterparty would provide
specified Internet access and web hosting services
in Hong Kong and China to customers of PSINet.
This agreement runs through January 2004.

b) Initial Network Services Agreement

Under this agreement, PSINet would provide the Strategic
Agreement Counterparty with transit bandwidth services
(including international private leased circuits,
Intranet and IP Transit services) that provide for
connectivity from the network interface between PSINet
and the Strategic Agreement Counterparty to the global
Internet via PSINet's network infrastructure, together
with bundled ancillary services, for an initial term of
six months on agreed pricing terms.
?
c) Strategic Network Support Agreement

This agreement would implement a framework in which
PSINet and the Strategic Agreement Counterparty would
coordinate with each other regarding network
requirements and advances in support of each other's
customers, including the exchange of network-related
information, the grant by PSINet of a non-exclusive,
nontransferable, royalty-free license to use
certain network management software and hardware tools,
and assistance in obtaining discounts with respect to
local loops. This agreement may be terminated at any
time by either party.

(d) Trademark and Service Mark License Agreement

Pursuant to this agreement, PSINet would grant the
Strategic Agreement Counterparty a non-transferable
royalty-free license of certain PSINet trademarks,
service marks and related intellectual property for use
in specified activities within limited geographic scope
for a term of six months after closing of the Sale
(except with respect to limited use beyond such term of
a domain name for purposes of transitioning e-mail
addresses), unless terminated earlier.
?
(4) Buyer and Sellers may each refuse to close in the event
of a material breach of the Share Purchase Agreement or a
materially false warranty of the counterparty;

(5) Buyer may refuse to close if the Sale Procedures Order is
not approved by 25 days after the PSINA Petition Date or if
the Sale Order is not approved by 35 days after approval by
the Court of the Sale Procedures Order; and

(6) It is an express condition of closing for both Buyer and
Sellers that the Court enter the Sale Procedures Order and
the Sale Order in satisfactory form and approve the Escrow
Agreement and the Strategic Agreements (the Escrow Agreement
and the Strategic Agreements collectively, the "Related
Agreements").

* Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, certain events give
rise to termination rights of Silver Linkage that, if
exercised, trigger obligations of the Debtors to make certain
termination payments:

(1) If Seller or Buyer terminates the Share Purchase
Agreement upon Seller's acceptance of a Competing Offer or in
the event of a Restructuring Transaction, Seller is obligated
to pay immediately to Buyer the Termination Fee of
HK$4,300,000, which is approximately US$551,282 (subject
to fluctuations in currency values), and Expense
Reimbursement of up to HK$1,500,000, which is approximately
US$192,308 (subject to fluctuations in currency values), of
Silver Linkage's reasonable and appropriate expenses
incurred through the date of the Sale Hearing.

(2) If Seller or Buyer terminates because the Sale has not
closed by September 30, 2001, Seller is obligated to pay
immediately to Buyer the Termination Fee and the Expense
Reimbursement.

(3) If Buyer terminates pursuant to provisions regarding the
LMDS License, the Winstar Agreements as mentioned above,
Seller is obligated to pay immediately to Buyer the
Termination Fee of only HK$2,150,000 in this case, and the
Expense Reimbursement.

(4) If Buyer terminates the Share Purchase Agreement because
the Sale Order is not approved on or before 35 days after the
Sale Procedures Order is approved, Seller will be obligated
to pay immediately to Buyer the Expense Reimbursement, and
Seller is obligated to pay to Buyer the Termination Amount
if, within 12 months following the termination of the Share
Purchase Agreement,
? (i) the Sellers or their affiliates
consummate a Restructuring Transaction or a sale or other
disposition of a material portion of the Shares or assets of
the Company or of the Hong Kong Subsidiaries taken as a
whole to a person or entity other than the Buyer or an
affiliate of Buyer, or (ii) a Chapter 11 plan for the
Sellers is confirmed.

The Debtors represent that the Termination Fee and Expense
Reimbursement are the result of extended, good faith, arms'
length bargaining among the Sellers and Silver Linkage. The
Debtors agreed to them because, in their considered business
judgment, the Debtors believed that the availability of these
payments provides a net benefit to the estate and that a
transaction as favorable could not have been reached without
them. As the Buyer made clear and Sellers acknowledged in the
Share Purchase Agreement, the Termination Fee and Expense
Reimbursement were and are necessary material inducements
for, and conditions of, the Buyer's entry into and
continuation with the Share Purchase Agreement. The Buyer has
indicated that it is unwilling to proceed with the Share
Purchase Agreement unless the Termination Fee and Expense
Reimbursement are approved.

The Debtors believe that the Termination Fee and Expense
Reimbursement are fair and reasonable, particularly in view
of the Buyer's efforts to date to value the Shares and the
stalking horse risk to which public dissemination of its
valuation now exposes it. The Buyer's HK$148 million Purchase
Price now establishes a floor against which other bidders can
comfortably base their bids without conducting their own
expensive due diligence. The Debtors believe that other
bidders interested in the Shares and the assets of the Hong
Kong Subsidiaries will be more inclined to bid, and to bid
higher than they otherwise would, now that they have obtained
at no cost to themselves the benefit of the Buyer's analysis,
due diligence investigation and negotiated purchase
agreement.

In addition to benefiting the Debtors' estates, the amounts
involved are also fair and reasonable, the Debtors represent.
The Expense Reimbursement is capped at HK$1.5 million and by
definition must be reasonable while the Termination Fee,
equal to 2.9 percent of the Purchase Price, is reasonable and
customary in this type of transaction, the Debtors note.

The Debtors request that, in the event the Debtors become
obligated to pay the Termination Fee or Expense
Reimbursement, such obligation will constitute an
administrative expense under Sections 503(b) and 507(a)(1) of
the Bankruptcy Code and be payable in accordance with clauses
4.1(f) and (g) of the Share Purchase Agreement without
further order of the Court.

* Indemnification

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase
Agreement, the Sellers will indemnify the Buyer for any
claim, loss, liability, cost or expense arising from:

(1) the falsity of any warranty made by Sellers,
(2) a material breach of the Share Purchase Agreement by
     Sellers,
(3) the EFTNS license or its relinquishment,
(4) the LMDS License, the Winstar Agreements or the company's
     facility with Bank of America, N.A. (except to the
extent the matters in respect of which indemnity is sought
have been disclosed prior to the waiver or satisfaction of
the condition in clause 3.1(a)(viii)(A) of the Share Purchase
Agreement),
(5) certain pending litigation or arbitration proceedings,
(6) closure of the Beijing Representative Office,
(7) two international private leased service agreements
between the Company and Reach Networks Hong Kong Limited,
(8) any liabilities or expenses of a Hong Kong Subsidiary
relating to an Excluded Subsidiary and
(9) any assignment, transfer, sale, purchase or other
disposal or acquisition of shares (whether direct or
indirect) in PSINet Wireless to or from a Group Company.

In addition, Sellers will indemnify the Buyer and each Hong
Kong Subsidiary against certain net Tax Liability arising
from income, profits, gains and expenses accrued, received or
incurred prior to closing.

The Buyer will indemnify the Sellers for any claim, loss,
liability, cost or expense the Sellers pay or are liable for
arising from:

(1) the falsity of any warranty made by Buyer or
(2) a material breach of the Share Purchase Agreement by
Buyer.

No claim for indemnification may be made by the Buyer unless
notice of the claim is given within 2 years after closing
(except with respect to certain pending litigation and
arbitration proceedings to the extent some portion of the
Escrow Amount remains undistributed). The indemnification
obligations of all parties are capped at the specified
Purchase Price of HK$148,000,000.

* Assumption of Share Purchase Agreement and Escrow Agreement

In connection with the Debtors' request for approval of the
Share Purchase Agreement, the Debtors also seek authorization
for PSINA to assume under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code
the Share Purchase Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. PSINA
entered into both of these agreements shortly prior to the
PSINA Petition Date, and they are executory contracts.
Accordingly, the Debtors also seek an order authorizing PSINA
to assume the Share Purchase Agreement and the Escrow
Agreement.

The Debtors also request that the Court approve the Related
Agreements and authorize the Debtors to consummate the
transactions contemplated and to transfer all property,
licenses and rights to be conveyed accordingly. PSINet's
entry into the Strategic Agreements and approval of the
Related Agreements by the Court are express conditions of the
Buyer's obligation to purchase the Shares and integral to its
willingness to enter into the Share Purchase Agreement.

There has been no default on the part of PSINA under the
Share Purchase Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, and all
parties to these agreements will receive notice of this
Motion and PSINA's request to assume them.

* Limited Relief from the Automatic Stay

The Debtors also request that the Buyer be granted limited
relief from the automatic stay to the extent necessary to
allow the Buyer to give any notice provided for under the
Share Purchase Agreement or the Related Agreements and to
take any actions permitted by such agreements, in accordance
with the terms and conditions thereof.

                         *   *   *

The Debtors submit that their decision to sell the Shares
pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement is an exercise of
reasonable business judgment.

On a stand-alone basis the Hong Kong Subsidiaries are losing
money, and as part of the PSINet corporate family no longer
have a place in the Debtors' business strategy.

During the course of their prepetition restructuring efforts,
the Debtors and their professionals explored various
financial, strategic and operational alternatives, including
sales in parts and as a whole, to stem the losses of the Hong
Kong Subsidiaries and to strengthen the financial condition
of the PSINet Entities broadly. As a result of these efforts,
the Debtors determined, in their business judgment, that the
Sale of the Shares on the terms of the Share Purchase
Agreement will be in the best interests of the Debtors'
estates and creditors.

The Company is on track to achieve revenues of between
US$18,000,000 and US$19,000,000 this year, but continues to
operate on a cash negative basis.

In the beginning of March 2001, the Debtors determined that
it was necessary to pursue a dual tracked approach; marketing
their businesses for sale while simultaneously developing a
stand-alone plan of reorganization.

By that time, Goldman Sachs had already been contacted by
approximately 90-100 potential purchasers, all of whom
expressed an interest in either some portion or the whole of
the Debtors' asset base. The Debtors, with the assistance of
Goldman Sachs, then prepared the Offering Memorandum
describing the Debtors' entire business. Goldman Sachs began
an extensive process of contacting those entities which had
expressed an interest in the Debtors, as well as any other
entities that in Goldman Sachs' business judgment would have
the ability and interest to purchase the relevant assets. The
Offering Memorandum was distributed to over 50 parties who
were willing to sign confidentiality agreements.

While exploring the marketing of the Debtors' world-wide
business as a whole, the Debtors also received indications of
interest for specific pools of assets. In or around March
2001, a strategic buyer ("Potential Buyer") expressed
interest in acquiring the Hong Kong Subsidiaries. Shortly
thereafter, Buyer also approached the Hong Kong Subsidiaries
about a possible acquisition. Potential Buyer offered a
purchase price of approximately eighty percent of the
projected revenue for 2001 for the Hong Kong Subsidiaries,
and required a 90 day due diligence period, plus additional
time for board authorization and lender approval. Buyer
originally offered a comparable purchase price, but later
raised its offer to one-hundred percent of the projected
revenue for 2001. Moreover, Buyer agreed to proceed on a more
aggressive timetable. Buyer's willingness to proceed more
quickly with negotiations was attractive to PSINet because
the Company was losing customers and concerned about
declining revenues, factors which could have
lowered the potential sale price for the Hong Kong
Subsidiaries over time. Aside from Potential Buyer and Buyer,
all other potential purchasers were only interested in
acquiring the Hong Kong Subsidiaries on significantly less
favorable terms, PSINet relates.

In April, 2001, an affiliate of the Buyer executed a non-
disclosure agreement and began performing due diligence in
connection with the Shares and the PSINet Entities' business
in Hong Kong. Following negotiations with the Buyer, the
Debtors determined that a sale of the Shares to the Buyer
presented the most value to the Debtors' estates, in
accordance with the exercise of their prudent business
judgment, and entered into a Letter of Intent on May 22,
2001. Since then, the Debtors and the Buyer have negotiated
and executed the Share Purchase Agreement.

Thus, the Debtors have determined, in their business
judgment, that it is in the best interests of their creditors
and estates to sell the Shares as proposed.

First, the proceeds of a sale of the Shares, to the extent
sold as a going concern, likely will be greater than if the
Hong Kong operations are sold by piecemeal liquidation.
Second, a prompt sale will aid in minimizing administrative
expenses of the estates. Third, prompt receipt of the Sale
proceeds will provide working capital to fund the Debtors'
various operations and to preserve the value of their assets,
thereby maximizing the value received from a restructuring,
sale or other disposition of their assets for the benefit of
the Debtors' estates and their creditors. The proposed prompt
Sale under Section 363 has the advantage of allowing the Hong
Kong Subsidiaries quickly to be sold intact, thereby
preserving their enterprise and goodwill value despite the
bankruptcy filing.

The Buyer's offer for the Shares, reflected in the Share
Purchase Agreement, is the best offer the Debtors have
received for the Shares as of the date of this Motion.

The Debtors represent that the negotiations with the Buyer
were extensive, in good-faith, noncollusive, and at arms
length and conducted by the companies and their respective
professionals.

The Debtors believe that the Sale Price is Fair and
Reasonable. The Debtors' pre-petition marketing efforts and
arms-length negotiations with Silver Linkage, combined with
the ongoing post-petition marketing efforts and notice of the
terms of the Sale and opportunity to make higher and better
offers to the most likely buyers (those persons who expressed
interest in any of the Debtors' Asian assets), will affirm
that whatever the ultimate purchase price is, it is fair and
reasonable under the circumstances.

Further, the Debtors explain that selling the Shares to
Silver Linkage, free and clear of all liens, claims,
encumbrances, interests because a sale subject to liens,
claims and interests will likely result in a lower purchase
price and be of substantially less benefit to the Debtors'
estates. The Debtors are unaware of any liens, claims or
interests in or on the Shares and therefore believe that the
Purchase Price is greater than the aggregate amount of all
liens on the Shares. Thus, the Sale satisfies Section
363(f)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

PSINet also requests that the proposed sale be exempt from
Transfer Taxes. The Debtors draw Judger Gerber's attention to
Section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code which provides that
the making or delivery of an instrument of transfer under a
confirmed Chapter 11 plan of reorganization may not be taxed
under any law imposing a stamp or similar tax. Courts have
construed this provision to include transfers under Section
363 of the Bankruptcy Code, but in furtherance of
effectuating, a Chapter 11 plan, the Debtors aver. Applying
this to the instant case, the Debtors represent that the
proposed Sale of the Shares is essential to the consummation
of a plan and therefore should be deemed to be "under a
plan." The proceeds of the Sale will be available to the
Debtors and their estates for use in funding their ongoing
operations, preserving the value of their assets pending a
restructuring, sale or other disposition of such assets and
making distributions to creditors, all in furtherance of a
plan of reorganization. Accordingly, the Debtors submit that
the Sale of the Shares falls within the scope of the
exemption provided for under Section 1146(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtors note that case law in the Second Circuit is clear
that the Sale is appropriate outside of a plan of
reorganization. In this regard, the Debtors represent that
the Share Purchase Agreement does not dictate the terms of a
Plan of Reorganization. Rather, its sole impact is to
transform the Debtors' assets to cash.

The Debtors also submit that they have provided interested
parties with adequate and reasonable notice.

For all these reasons, the Debtors are seeking approval of
the Sale Procedures Order governing the form and manner of
notice of the proposed Sale, the Motion and the Auction.

Pursuant to Rule 6004(g) of the Bankruptcy Rules, unless the
court orders otherwise, all orders authorizing the sale of
property pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code are
automatically stayed for 10 days after entry of the order.
The purpose of Rule 6004(g) is to provide sufficient time for
an objecting party to request a stay pending appeal before
the order can be implemented. See Advisory Committee Notes to
Fed. R. Bankr. P. 6004(g).

The Debtors tell Judger Gerber they need to close this Sale
as soon as possible after all closing conditions have been
met or waived. The Share Purchase Agreement requires that the
closing occur on or before two business days after all such
conditions have been satisfied, including entry of the Sale
Order.
Accordingly, the Debtors request that the Court eliminate the
10-day stay under Rule 6004(g) of the Federal Rules of
Bankruptcy Procedure. (PSINet Bankruptcy News, Issue No. 5;

ADINDO FORESTA: Sells Assets To Pay Debts
-----------------------------------------
Forestry maintaining PT Adindo Foresta Indonesia plans to sell
its heavy equipment assets used in Industrial Plant Forests
project to pay debts, IndoExchange reports yesterday, citing
Johanes Gosal in his explanation to the Capital Market
Supervisory Agency.

The equipment consists of 4 units of bulldozers and 3 logging
truck worth Rp2.58 billion from an independent party's estimated
calculation.

Selling agreement was signed on July 13, 2001 with transaction
value of Rp2.61bn, slightly higher than the assets value. Though
Johanes said that due to the assets sales, his company would
have to suffer Rp5.86-billion asset sales loss as of June 30,
2001.

The company has also planned to sell subsidiary PT Adindo Hutan
Lestari's assets in the form of 24 units equipment, 23 units
operational vehicles and 1 unit motor boat. The said assets are
longer needed since the subsidiary' is currently focused on
industrial plant forest maintenance. Book value of the equipment
is of Rp437.88 million.

Johanes said that proceeds would be used to pay debts, maintain
industrial plant forest and operational activity of the company.

"The entire transaction has yet to be approved in the
extraordinary shareholder meeting, to be held on the coming
August 15," Johanes added.

DAEHAN TRUST: W400B In Public Funds Remain Unpaid
-------------------------------------------------
Daehan Investment Trust Company (DITC) has failed to repay the
sum of W400 billion in public funds extended by state-run Korea
Deposit Insurance Corporation (KDIC), sparking a controversy
Tuesday, The Digital Chosun reported Wednesday.

Probing into the issue, Chosun Ilbo reports that DITC extended a
total of W900 billion in core loans to Daewoo Group companies in
the wake of the liquidity crisis of the group. However, DITC
failed to recoup the loans, when Daewoo went bankrupt.

In a move to rescue the investment trust firm, KDIC injected
into the company a total of W460 billion in public funds in June
last year, Chosun says.

Thereafter, DITC took legal actions against three merchant
banking institutions, which brokered the deal with the Daewoo
group in order to recover the loans.

The three merchant banks are Daewoo Securities, Yeungnam
Merchant Banking, and Nara Merchant Banking. However, last June,
Daewoo Securities was ordered by the court to repay to DITC 90
percent of the loans, the report says.


DAEWOO ELECTRONICS: Bidding To Begin By End July
------------------------------------------------

Moreover, the sale of the company is scheduled to be finalized
by year's end, depending on the pace of the negotiations, the
report says.

Three or four foreign firms have already expressed interest in
taking over Daewoo Electronics.


DAEWOO MOTOR: GM Sets Up `Transition Team' Pending Takeover Deal
----------------------------------------------------------------
While negotiations between creditors of insolvent Daewoo Motor
and American carmaker General Motors Corp (GM), the latter is
working out the setting up of a `transition team' designed to
run Daewoo Motor in case of the planned takeover, Financial
Times reports Tuesday.

Along with the team, GM is also working on an extensive revival
strategy for the bankrupt Korean automaker, the newspaper says.
This plan includes, among others, the improved use of assets and
overhauling product plans.

At present, negotiations are ongoing, and are expected to be
completed by middle of next month. According to reports, GM's
offer may run to as much as $2 billion. This takeover offer may
not include the assumption of any of Daewoo's liabilities.


HYNIX SEMICON: Suffers Q2 Loss Of W1.3T Due To Sales Slump
----------------------------------------------------------
Hynix Semiconductor Inc. booked for the second quarter a loss of
W1.3 trillion, owing to slump in sales, dropping 34 percent to
W1.2 trillion, and write-off of inventories, Bloomberg reported
Thursday.

Moreover, operating loss was pegged at W266 billion.

ING Investment Management Asia Fund Manager Roland Wee remarked,
"The cure for Hynix lies in demand, which I'm not expecting a
big up-tick in for the rest of the year. I think it would be
difficult for any sustained price increase in DRAM."

Meanwhile, the company is struggling to repay its W5.6 trillion
short-term, high-interest debt, which was used to finance
capital-intensive projects.


HYUNDAI ENGINEERING: Files For De-Affiliation From Group
--------------------------------------------------------
Hyundai Engineering and Construction (HDEC) has already filed

from its parent firm, following a debt-equity swap and the
issuance of convertible bonds and a capital increase, which thus
diluting the stake holding of Chung Mong-hun and other family
members to 1.74 percent from 9.33 percent in May, the report
says.

IDRIS HYDRAULIC: Has No Plan To Buy Tokio Marine
------------------------------------------------
Contrary to reports, Idris Hydraulic (Malaysia) Berhad has not
made any plan to acquire Tokio Marine Insurance Malaysia Bhd.

However, the Company would like to welcome any interested
insurance parties to negotiate with the Company pertaining to
its merger and acquisition exercise.

The Company has attended the briefing for the tender of The
People's Insurance Co. (Malaysia) Berhad (PICM) conducted by the
Special Administrator for Kuala Lumpur Industries Holdings Bhd,
the holding company of PICM held on 6 July 2001.

Formal announcement will be made once submission for the tender
has been made.

Background

The Company was formed as the vehicle to take over the business
of Idris Hydraulic Tin plc (Idris plc), a mining company.

The Company (IHMB) carried out mining operations until 1986.
Over the years the Company has expanded into property
development, insurance services, manufacturing and timber-based
activities.

On 13 July 2000, the Company entered into a Conditional
Agreement with Dato' Che Mohd Annuar bin Che Mohd Senawi and
Idaman Unggul Sdn Bhd (Newco). Dato' Che Mohd Anuar bin Che Mohd
Senawi will undertake to subscribe for 150m shares in Newco.

The proposed shares subscription is an integral part of the
proposed comprehensive restructuring exercise, which amongst
others, addresses IHMB's various financial obligations to
creditors and reconstitutes its asset(s) in a new entity. The
proposed comprehensive restructuring exercise is undertaken
under the auspices of the Corporate Debt Restructuring
Committee.

On 17 August 2000, the Company entered into a Conditional Debt
Restructuring Agreement with Newco, and various lenders. The
Conditional Debt Restructuring Agreement involves, a proposed
debt reconstruction of the Group, be effected vide a Creditors'
Scheme of Arrangement principally involving the novation of
various of the Company's subsidiaries' debts to IHMB or Newco, a
set-off of cash in various fixed deposit accounts, a partial
waiver of debt by IHMB Group's creditors and the full settlement
of the remaining IHMB Group's indebtedness by way of cash and
issuance of new securities by Newco.

IHMB proposes to undertake a proposed capital and reserve
reduction and consolidation exercise, a proposed exchange of
IHMB shares for new Newco shares pursuant to Section 176 of the
Companies Act and pursuant to the agreement entered by IHMB and
KFC Holdings (M) Bhd in 1998 to rescind and revoke the various
sale and purchase and supplemental agreements for the proposed
acquisition of the land and building identified as "Wisma
Idris".

The proposed capital reduction involves the cancellation of
RM0.475 of the par value of each ordinary share of RM0.50 each
in IHMB thus reducing the par value to RM0.025 per share.

Thereafter, the issued and paid-up share capital of IHMB shall
be consolidated such that every 20 shares of RM0.025 each shall
be consolidated into one share of RM0.50.

A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) will be incorporated to take
over all assets of IHMB except for Talasco. Some of the assets
acquired by the SPV have been identified for disposal. Those
assets which have not been identified for disposal will be fully
written-down and all inter-company balances will be written-off
and will be transferred to the SPV at a nominal value.

The Company also proposed a corporate restructuring involving
the transfer of IHMB's listing status on the KLSE to Newco, a
rights issue of Newco shares and a transfer of IHMB's investment
in Talasco Insurance Bhd by IHMB to Newco, resulting in Talasco
being a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newco.

Subsequent to the Proposed Comprehensive Restructuring Exercise,
the principal business of Newco will be in the insurance sector
through Talasco.

-----------------------------------------

UNIPHOENIX CORP: Court Grants Restraining Order
-----------------------------------------------
Uniphoenix Corporation Berhad (UCB) said the High Court of
Malaya granted an order (Order) on 17 July 2001 restraining all
further proceedings in any action or proceeding whatsoever and
howsoever against UCB for a period of three months from the date
of the Order.

Events Leading To The Granting Of The Order

On 22 January 2001, on behalf of the Board of Directors of UCB,
PMBB had announced that the Company was in the midst of
formulating a restructuring scheme involving amongst others:

   * Reduction of share capital and subsequent consolidation;
Debt reconstruction with UCB's creditors under Section 176 of
the Companies Act, 1965;

   * Arrangement with UCB shareholders for the exchange of
shares of UCB with that of a special purpose vehicle to be
identified to take over the listing status of UCB (Newco);
Rights issue to shareholders of UCB (and eventually Newco);

   * and Acquisition of new assets by Newco.

Further to the announcement dated 22 January 2001, UCB had
commenced discussions with its major creditors. On 2 July 2001,
UCB announced that it had filed an application for a restraining
order and had obtained the support of 73 percent in value of
total creditors (to be compromised under the scheme of
arrangement) for the restraining order application.

The Company does not expect the Order to have any material
effect on the financial and operational matters of the UCB
Group.

The proposed scheme will be announced at a later date pending
the finalization of the scheme of arrangement and the execution
of the sale and purchase agreements.

Background

Uniphoenix was formed to acquire then listed company,
Amalgamated Properties & Industries Bhd (API), in conjunction
with API's restructuring scheme. Upon completion of the scheme
in May 1990, API was removed from the Official List of KLSE on
11 June 1990 and Uniphoenix was listed in its place on the same
date.

In 1992, the Company ventured into the stockbroking business
through the acquisition of 80 percent of Halim Securities (HS).
However, in 1998, HS was suspended of its stockbroking trading
activities by the regulatory authorities.

In February 1999, Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional appointed
Special Administrators to takeover the management and to
restructure HS.

In March 2000, Special Administrators (SAs) of HS accepted the
tender proposal submitted by JF Apex Securities Bhd (JFAS) to
acquire the business of HS. Subsequently, in May 2000, the SAs
entered into a Business Merger Agreement with JFAS to acquire HS
for RM100 million.

By August, the debt workout proposal as agreed by the two
parties, was approved by the SC and secured creditors.

On 12 January 2001, HS' shareholders agreed to the winding-up of
HS pursuant to which the distribution of any remaining assets
will be made by liquidators, Messrs PricewaterhouseCoopers, to
settle all outstanding debt balances.

The Group unveiled its restructuring scheme in November 1998
comprising a comprehensive equity and debt restructuring,
injections of property development projects and fund raising
exercise. Since its submission to the SC in July 1999, the
Company has received approvals from the FIC and MITI. The scheme
was however aborted in December 2000.

In January 2001, the Company entered into two separate
agreements to acquire four property-related companies and one
construction-based company. The acquisition forms a part of the
Group's restructuring scheme involving capital and debt
reconstruction, share exchange and capital exercises. The new
assets, which complement the Group's property development arm,
will enable Uniphoenix to derive synergistic benefits.

In view of its focus on property development, Uniphoenix had in
December 2000 entered into an agreement to dispose of its entire
60.7 percent interest in Sam Long Chemicals Industries
(Malaysia), one of its manufacturing concerns.
