AUSTAR UNITED: Comments On Australian Financial Review Article
--------------------------------------------------------------
Austar United Communications Limited is aware of an article in
the Australian Financial Review speculating on discussions
between Austar and Optus. Austar has a policy on continuous
disclosure whereby the company immediately announces to the
market any matter required to be announced under the listing
rules.

As part of that policy Austar, as a rule, does not comment on
market rumors or speculation in the media.

However, Austar notes that, in the ordinary course of business
it regularly reviews all strategic options available to it. In
addition it regularly has discussions about possible commercial
arrangements with a wide range of participants in the pay TV and
other industries.

Austar has a number of commercial arrangements with Optus,
including a satellite platform joint venture, a mobile telephony
resale arrangement and certain pay TV programming contracts.
Austar and Optus have, from time to time, had and continue to
have, discussions concerning possible broader strategic
relationships between the two companies.

Any such discussions to date have been very preliminary, no
agreements have been reached or are likely to be reached in the
foreseeable future and there is significant uncertainty as to
whether any such agreement will be reached between the two
companies.


BEACONSFIELD GOLD: Changes Registered Office Address

request:

Davnet Limited hereby requests a voluntary suspension of trading
in its shares from the commencement of trading Wednesday, 14

of trading on 21 November 2001.

In accordance with Listing Rule 17.2, I advise that:

1. The suspension is requested due to the advanced stage of
negotiations with various parties with respect to the financial
restructuring of Davnet Limited and its main operating
subsidiary, Davnet Telecommunications Pty Limited (Davtel).

2. The suspension is expected to last for one week.

3. A further ASX announcement is expected to be made by Davnet
Limited on 20 November 2001 concerning the outcome of
negotiations and  resultant transactions entered into that will
end the suspension.

4. The Company is not aware of any reason why its securities
should not be suspended.

5. The operations of the Company, and that of its operating
subsidiaries Davtel, eDataGroup, and QAI, will remain unaffected
by the suspension and the underlying negotiations.

Communications' 100 percent  owned Australian subsidiary, NTT
Australia Pty Limited, will be continuing normal business
operations, supporting its business customers with high quality
and leading edge broadband data solutions.

Please contact Mark Hubbard if you wish to discuss any aspect of
this request.


ENVESTRA LIMITED: A$400M Debt Re-Financing Successful
-----------------------------------------------------
Envestra Limited announced Tuesday the re-financing of $426
million in bank debt, and also a reduction in the amount of
Commercial Paper the Company has on issue.

In making the announcement Envestra's Chief Financial Officer,
Mr Ian Little said, "This re-financing strategy has been used
rather than issuing securities in the capital markets. It
ensures Envestra maintains ready access to banking support and
strong relationships with major Australian and international
banks. The re-financing strategy is aimed at ensuring the
Envestra Group maintains around one third of its total debt
within the banking sector, with the remainder being financed in
the capital markets.

"Although Envestra enjoys strong support from institutional
investors and dealers for its Commercial Paper program, the
current international economic uncertainties dictate a
precautionary strategy in managing short-term debt", added Mr
Little.

"We have therefore taken a proactive approach to the management
of the balance sheet.

"This re-financing has been deliberately undertaken eight
months ahead of loan maturities and means that the Envestra
Group has no secured long-term loans maturing before mid-2003.
We see this as a conservative, risk adverse position in the
uncertain economic environment confronting business in 2002",
said Mr Little.

The re-financing has been undertaken with Commonwealth Bank of
Australia, the Toronto Dominion Bank and Sumitomo Mitsui Finance
Australia Ltd for Envestra Limited ($276m) and Commonwealth Bank
of Australia and ANZ Bank for Envestra Victoria Ltd ($150m).

The re-financing covers bank debt maturing in March and June
2002.

SMART COMMUNICATIONS: AJL Purchases Assets From Administrator
-------------------------------------------------------------
AJ Lucas Group Limited (AJL), the specialist infrastructure
services provider, has acquired the principal assets and
business undertaking from the Voluntary Administrator of Smart
Communications Group Limited.

The transaction closed on 13 November 2001 although Lucas
assumed management control of Smart upon reaching agreement with
the Administrator on 7 November 2001.

Mr Allan Campbell, CEO of Lucas Group said: "Smart is an
important plank in our network strategy. We aim to build on this
business in providing integrated solutions for communications
and information technology infrastructure."

Lucas' strategy is to provide specialized infrastructure
services to niche outsourced markets in each of the utility
sectors: gas, power, telco's and water. Lucas aims to have these
businesses underpinned by strategic alliances with a number of
key players in each of the sectors. With its well known brand
name and relationships with key suppliers, Smart fits this
strategy well in terms of the telecommunications/IT sector.

"We know the Smart operational managers well and have a planned
strategy. We have high expectations for the growth of this
business" Mr Campbell said.

quoted State minister of State Enterprises Laksamana Sukardi.

Laksamana said, "The merger is part of our efforts to
restructure Timah," which has been badly hit by the plunge in
world tin prices and rampant illegal mining activities at its
sites on Bangka and Belitung islands.

According to a report by Arthur Andersen , Garuda owes US$610

ASAHI MUTUAL: Plans Merger With Tokio Marine
--------------------------------------------
Asahi Mutual Life Insurance Co., plans to merge with Tokio
Marine Life Insurance Co. this April 2003, speeding up the
overall integration plans for the four companies comprising the
Millea Insurance Group, according to a Tuesday News On Japan
report.

The planned merger will create an entity tentatively called
Millea Life Insurance and is aimed at ultimately stabilizing
Asahi Mutual Life's precarious financial standing. Asahi Mutual,
one of the smaller insurance companies, ranked fifth among
domestic life insurers in terms of policy values, has been
affected by a series of corporate failures as well declining
stock prices that recently rocked the life insurance industry.


HITACHI LIMITED: U.S. Unit Takes Over U.S. Consulting Firm
----------------------------------------------------------
Experio Solutions Corporation, a Hitachi Ltd U.S. subsidiary,
recently signed a contract to take-over U.S.-based information
technology consulting firm, Tactica Holdings Inc, for a reported
US$60 million, PRNewsAsia reported on November 14, quoting
Hitachi sources.

The deal reportedly forms part of the Hitachi's mid-term plan to
increase revenue from the IT service business to US$1 billion by
the year 2005. For this purpose, Hitachi Limited will continue
to seek mergers and acquisition opportunities worldwide.

Presently, Tactica Holdings employs 165 workers, including 140
consultants, while Experio has 570 consultants.


NEC CORPORATION: Management Takes 5%-10% Winter Bonus Cut
---------------------------------------------------------
For some 9,000 NEC Corporation management personnel holding
ranks above section chief, winter bonuses for this year have
been cut by an estimated 5-10 percent, as part of NEC's
restructuring efforts, PRNewsAsia reported Tuesday.

The electronics giant announced plans barely two weeks ago to
speed up its restructuring efforts by streamlining chip
production lines, shifting workers out of the suffering
electronics devices division, and further cutting capital
spending.

Moreover, for the first half ended September 30, NEC posted a
group operating loss of Y55.3 billion in its electronics device
division.


NIPPON TELEGRAPH: No Decision Yet On Verio Rehab Plan
-----------------------------------------------------
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. still hasn't decided on a
rehabilitation plan for Verio Inc., its U.S. subsidiary, and is
currently collecting earnings data for this fiscal year to
March, the Asian Wall Street Journal said on Tuesday.

Local newspaper however reported that NTT will push to rebuild
Verio by selling off its loss-making units, consolidating its
data centers and shedding some of the workers. The said
restructuring steps are expected to cost some US$300 million.

NTT is also forecast to post a Y400 billion appraisal loss on
its Verio stake for the first half to September. NTT acquired
the U.S. data communications firm for a total of US$5 billion.


TOSHIBA CORP: Infineon Won't Carry Deal Restructuring Costs
-----------------------------------------------------------
Negotiations between Toshiba Corporation and Infineon
Technologies AG for a possible tie-up in both companies' memory
chip business have a hit a possible snag, with Infineon refusing
to carry restructuring costs of the merger, the Asian Wall
Street Journal reported November 13.

"If the company does come to a deal to merge its memory chip
business with that of Toshiba's, the condition is that the
partner must carry the restructuring costs," Infineon Chief
Executive Ulrich Schumacher.

Infineon certainly is in a position to demand conditions
considering that it is the more financially viable company,
carrying with it a healthy balance sheet.

"There's no pressure for us (to find a partner), rather we want
to use the opportunities that exist in the market," said
Schumacher.

In contrast, Toshiba recently announced plans to cut 10 percent,
more or less around 3,000 group workers, from its semiconductor
division by the end of this year.

It also recently posted a group operating loss of Y72 billion
for the first six months until September. Toshiba's group net
loss for the whole year is estimated to reach Y200 billion.

HANBO STEEL: Q301 Earnings, Net Loss Up From Last Year
------------------------------------------------------
Hanbo Steel on Tuesday posted a W203.1 billion net loss during
the first three quarters of the year, up almost 100 percent from
figures posted during the same period last year, the Korea
Herald said Wednesday.

The company cited interest costs totaling W77.4 billion, losses
from halted production facilities totaling W61.3 billion and
foreign exchange losses of W51.7 billion as reasons for its poor
performance.

However, Hanbo scored an operating profit of W10.5 billion
during the three quarters, a significant increase compared to
last year's loss of W19.3 billion.


HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR: Denies Plans To Merge With Foreign Firm
------------------------------------------------------------
Contrary to earlier reports, Hynix Semiconductor Inc. and its
creditors have no plans to engage in any merger with any
international chipmaker, PRNewsAsia said on Tuesday, citing
Korea Development Bank (KDB) sources.

Earlier this week, a newspaper report alleged that KDB president
Jung Keun-Yong issued a statement saying that Hynix was looking
to merge with an international chipmaker to ensure its long-term
viability.

In a statement, KDB clarified Mr. Jung's statement saying,
"What he (Jung Keun-yong) meant was that its one of many
options creditors can consider in the long-term perspective."


HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR: Creditors To Write Off 75% Of Loans
--------------------------------------------------------
The liquidation value of unsecured loans of creditor banks
extended to ailing Hynix Semiconductor Inc. is expected to be
set at around 25 percent of their book value, meaning that a
creditor could only retrieve 25 percent of its lending to the
Korean chipmaker, the Korea Herald said yesterday quoting bank
sources.

As a result, the seven banks who have decided not to grant an
extension of fresh loans to Hynix will be required to write off
around W1.4 trillion in loans out of their total lending worth
W2.02 trillion.

Accounting firm estimates Hynix's liquidating value at around
25.5 percent, thus, the said banks have to write off slightly
over 70 percent of their lending. The seven banks are Kookmin,
Shinhan, Hana, KorAm, Seoul, Industrial Bank of Korea and Pusan.


HYUNDAI CORPORATION: Posts 9-Month Net Loss Of W52B
---------------------------------------------------
Hyundai Corporation posted a net loss of W52.4 billion in nine
months through September period, drastically lower than the
W10.7 billion profit that was posted during the same period of
last year, according to a Tuesday article of PRNewsAsia.

Company sales also declined to W21.2 trillion as compared to
year-ago figures of W28.9 trillion. Operating profit was also
down to W51.2 billion, lower than year-ago figures of W107.2
billion.

Hyundai blamed its net losses in the nine months to September on
losses from its stakes in unprofitable affiliates.


HYUNDAI ENGINEERING: Creditors To Refinance Bonds
-------------------------------------------------
Creditors of Hyundai Engineering and Construction (HEC) and its
affiliate Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM), have approved a plan to
refinance the two firms' bonds totaling W386.6 billion maturing
this December, The Korea Herald reported yesterday, quoting
Korea Development Bank (KDB) sources.

According to KDB sources, HMM has W247.2 billion worth of bonds
to mature next month, while HEC on the other hand has W237
billion. The creditors will refinance W197 billion for HMM, and
W189.6 billion for HEC, roughly 80 percent of the bonds for each
of the firms.

In return for helping the two firms revolve the maturing debts,
creditors are asking that the two companies complete each of
their declared self-help programs by the end of the year.

Moreover, as a condition for specifically assisting HEC, bank
creditors are asking that non-bank creditors should implement
their share of a debt-for-equity swap and capital increase
totaling W192.5 billion for HEC.


KOHAP CORPORATION: Creditor Splits Kohap
----------------------------------------
A proposed plan by Kohap Corporation creditors to split the
company into two separate entities has been approved by company
shareholders, the Korea Herald reported Wednesday.

One of the entities, a petrochemical firm which will be
inaugurated this December, will take over the company's core
operations and should have W1.14 trillion in assets, W686.3
billion in debt and W457.6 billion in capital.

The other unnamed entity will be put up in order to dispose of
Kohap's chemical fiber operations through sale, relocation to
foreign countries, or liquidation. The planned breakup will take
place on December 27.


KOREA ELECTRIC: Net Profit Drops 35%
-----------------------------------
Korea Electric Power Corp. (KEPCO) announced that its net profit
for this year through September went down 35 percent to W2.51
trillion amid a decrease in power demand due to the current
economic slowdown and a higher base effect, the Korea Herald
said November 14.

For the first nine months of the year, KEPCO's sales revenue
amounted to W14.91 trillion, up 9.4 percent form the W13.63
trillion posted during the same period of last year.

But the power company's operating income on the other hand fell
32 percent to W3.18 trillion, with ordinary income also dropping
6.4 percent to W2.54 trillion.

Net profit was down to W750 billion in the three months from
July to September, comparably lower than the W1.37 trillion
posted a year ago.


SHINHAN BANK: To Hire 100 New Workers
-------------------------------------
Shinhan Bank plans to hire 100 new employees this month. It
hired that many workers during the first half of the year, Korea
Herald reported Wednesday.

Shinhan, the flagship of the recently launched Shinhan Financial
Group, also recruited some 150 workers last year, and its
currently employee base stood at 4,300.

Just last month, Shinhan Bank posted a third quarter net profit
of W10.6 billion, down a whopping 87 percent from last year's
W78.8 billion during the same period.

BESCORP INDUSTRIES: Posts Units' Disposed Assets
------------------------------------------------
Bescorp Industries Berhad announced that certain subsidiary
companies have disposed off selected assets of the companies
pursuant to a tender exercise conducted recently. The tender

ATLAS CONSOLIDATED: Announces P78M Q3014 Net Loss
--------------------------------------------------
Troubled Atlas Consolidated Mining Co. posted a net loss
totaling P78.77 million for the three months to September
period, up from the year-ago net loss of P156.45 million,
PRNewsAsia reported on November 13.

However, third quarter revenue figures for company were down to
P17.82 million compared to the P24.51 million posted during the
same period for last year.


BAYAN TELECOMMUNICATIONS: Junks Mobile Phone Ops Plan
-----------------------------------------------------
BenPres Holdings Corporation telecommunications unit, Bayan
Telecommunications Inc. (Bayantel) has scrapped plans to venture
into the cellular phone business and instead will concentrate
its efforts on the data business, according to the Asian Wall
Street Journal Tuesday.

BayanTel is currently in the middle of drawing up a long-term
business plan which it will employ as a basis for a debt
restructuring program to cover some US$477 million in debt.


NATIONAL BANK: Debt-Equity Swap Delayed Over Joint Sale Issues
--------------------------------------------------------------
The debt-to-equity agreement supposedly to be signed between the
government and Philippine National Bank majority owner Lucio Tan
has yet again been delayed over new contentious issues regarding
a planned joint sale, according to a Tuesday Inquirer News
Service report.

"I don't think we can sign something before I leave for the
United States. Most likely, we would be able to sign the deal
late this month when I get back," Finance Secretary Jose Isidro
Camacho said on Tuesday. The trade secretary will be leaving for
the United States and eventually to Europe where he will sell
over US$225 million worth of bonds for Napocor.

Earlier this week Camacho said he was hoping to sign at least
the final term sheet (the document detailing the debt-to-equity
conversion of the government's P25 billion in advances to PNB)
on Wednesday.

Moreover was concerned about another issue, commenting on this
regard he said, "There is one more point, an aspect of the
`exit mechanism', where we have to reach an agreement on. I hope
we can come up with an agreeable solution to this issue before I
leave".

This "exit mechanism" is aimed to bind both parties to sell
jointly once the bank has recovered in three years time.

People familiar with the ongoing negotiations say that the
resolution of this issue is very important because it would
guarantee that both the government and Tan will relinquish
control of the bank, thereby making it more attractive to
potential investors.


NATIONAL POWER: Government Staging Second Policy Auction
--------------------------------------------------------
National Power Corporation's insurance policy will be put up for
auction for the second time on Monday by the joint committee
tasked to oversee the bidding, the Inquirer News Service said on
Tuesday.

The policy to be auctioned off will cover Napocor assets
totaling US$6.5 billion. The previous auction last September 27
was declared a failure because of the absence of any offers
during the bidding day itself. All qualified bidders at that
time submitted instead letters of regret saying that they were
unable to submit due to unfavorable market conditions in the
wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Terms of reference and letters of invitation for the latest
auction were sent to the pre-qualified bidders last Monday.

The list includes Aon Energy, Alexander Forbes, Andrew Higgins
Pickering, Arthur J. Gallagher, Marsh & McLennan and Heath
Lambert.

CAPITALAND LIMITED: Shares Fall After Halted REIT Listing
---------------------------------------------------------
Following its cancellation of a trendsetting real estate
investment trust (REIT) due to poor demand, CapitaLand Limited
shares tumbled Tuesday, the Asian Wall Street Journal reported
November 13.

CapitaLand canceled the listing of its SingMall Property Trust
after its share offer totaling 530 million was only 80 percent
subscribed.

As a result, CapitaLand's restructuring efforts are set into a
tailspin and prospects of further REIT plans in Singapore appear
bleak.

The REIT was supposed to generate S$740 million that would have
easily contributed to the repayments of CapitaLand's debt.

CapitaLand fell as much as 12 percent before recovering to close
midday at S$1.33, down 7.64 percent, on heavy trading of 11.6
million shares. CapitaLand has shed 24 percent since Sept. 11
before suspending trading Monday ahead of the announcement.
