Current status of assignment and actions required by creditors

Creditors and suppliers are referred to the "Letter to suppliers
and creditors" which is found at
http://www.bankrupt.com/misc/TCRAP_Fallright0715.pdf.

The Notice details the requirement for suppliers to open new
accounts when dealing with the companies in receivership. The
main trading entity in Australia is Fallright International Pty
Ltd

Next milestone and estimated timetable

The closure date for expressions of interest for the purchase of
the businesses and assets of the Fallright group is 26 July
2002. It is envisaged sale negotiations may take a further 4-6
weeks to finalize.

Likely outcome for creditors and timetable

It is too early to advise whether there will be a dividend
payable to the unsecured creditors of the company. The receivers
do not have the power to pay the claims of trading creditors
(unsecured creditor claims). Should the receivers be discharged
the companies continue to trade, the Fallright group may make
arrangements with pre-appointment creditors. Alternatively
should an administrator or liquidator be appointed then they
will report to creditors on any dividend prospects.

HARRIS SCARFE: Releases Shareholders' Update From Liquidators
-------------------------------------------------------------
M J Dwyer & L P Maxsted of KPMG, in reference to its appointment
as liquidators of Harris Scarfe Group (Receivers and Managers
Appointed)(In Liquidation) (HSHL) ACN 009 476 073 and ten other
companies through a resolution of creditors on 3 January 2002,
advised that on 15 March 2002 the Receivers and Managers
instituted proceedings against the Group's former Auditors,
Ernst & Young and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

It should be noted that this claim is an asset of the Group and
as such, at first instance, is covered by the ANZ Bank's
security. Given the ANZ Bank has security over all of the
assets of the Group, which includes the various companies' legal
claims against third parties, the Receivers and Managers have
the right to pursue these actions pursuant to their security.
The liquidators understand that this claim is yet to be
quantified. Any return to unsecured creditors and ultimately to
shareholders will be dependent on the outcome of these
proceedings or any other proceedings that may be issued and the
quantum of any judgment awarded by the Court pursuant to any
proceedings.

As a consequence, the liquidators are unable to determine at
this point in time, the quantum of any return to creditors and
shareholders in the winding up of HSHL. Accordingly, this
prevents the liquidators from issuing shareholders with a notice
pursuant to Section 104-145 of the Income Tax Assessment Act
1997, which would allow shareholders, if they elected, to claim
a capital loss on their shareholding. It may be some
considerable time before all these issues are resolved in the
Courts.

Further, the liquidators advised that pursuant to Section 493(2)
of the Corporations Act, any transfer of shares or alteration in
the status of members after the passing of the resolution to
place the Group into liquidation is void, without the consent of
the liquidator. The liquidators are currently not in a position,
nor will we be in the foreseeable future, to sanction any
transfer or alteration.

There are currently insufficient funds available in the
liquidation to enable as to conduct meetings of members or
creditors. However, for further information, please refer to
www.harrisscarfe.com.au and click on words "KPMG Link". The
liquidators will endeavor to post updates on the liquidation
from time to time.

Please contact either Omar Mirza on (08) 8236 3239 or Matthew
Lindh on (08) 8236 3194 of KPMG for further queries in
relation to this matter.


OPEN TELECOMMUNICATIONS: Appoints Voluntary Administrator
---------------------------------------------------------
Open Telecommunications Ltd advised Friday that the previously
announced sale of its OSS business has not been able to be
completed.

As a result, the directors have resolved that in their opinion,
the company is insolvent or likely to become insolvent within
the foreseeable future.

It has been resolved that Robert William Whitton and Peter
George Yates, Partners of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu be appointed
joint and several administrators of the company.


PHONEWARE LIMITED: Asset Distribution May Take One Year
-------------------------------------------------------
J R Lindholm of Ferrier Hodgson, Deed Administrator of Phoneware
Limited (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) ACN 076 611
268, issued a shareholder Company update.  The steps that have
been taken to sell the business have resulted in employees
retaining their jobs and creditors being paid. However, there
will not be any surplus funds after creditors' claims settlement
for distribution to shareholders.

The Administrators understand that the Board is investigating
possibilities of achieving some value for shareholders.

At a creditors meeting held on 19 April 2002, creditors passed a
resolution requiring Limited to execute a Deed of Company
Arrangement (DCA) pursuant to Part 5.3A of the Corporations Act
2001.

The DCA was executed on 19 April 2002 and lodged with the
Australian Securities and Investments Commission as required.

On the same day, a contract for the sale of Limited's shares in
Phoneware Communication Systems Pty Ltd, Imedia Corporation Pty
Ltd, CTI International Pty Ltd and Phoneware Australia Pty Ltd
to Sirius Telecommunications Limited (Sirius) was settled.

Limited is also the holding company of P W Online Pty Ltd
(formerly known as Phoneware Online Pty Ltd) (Online), which is
also subject to a DCA.

The effect of the DCA on shareholders is as follows:

   1. Trading of Limited's shares has been suspended;

   2. The assets of the Group are being realized and will be
distributed to creditors in accordance with the terms contained
within Limited's DCA. This process might take up to twelve
months.


WESTERN METALS: 8,000,000 Unlisted Options Expire
-------------------------------------------------
Western Metals Limited advised that the following unlisted
employee options remained outstanding at 30 June 2002.

Number of        Exercise           Expiry            Class
Options          Price              Date

1,680,000        83 cents          8 December 2002   Employee
2,992,500        62 cents         15 November 2004   Employee
  800,000        83 cents          8 December 2002   Executive

In addition, the Company advised that 8,000,000 unlisted options
exercisable at $1.15 expired on 16 June 2002.

TCR-AP reported early this month that Western Metal's debt
restructuring arrangements with its major financiers continues
to progress positively and that, as previously foreshadowed, an
extension from 27 June 2002 to 16 July 2002 has met approval of
all parties for completion and execution of formal documentation
arising from the Common Terms Sheet signed on 15 March 2002.

same, details of which are set out below:

Aggregate principal amount

The aggregate principal amount of each of the MP Bond and the CU
Bond will be HK$3,000,000.

Interest

The MP Bond and the CU Bond will bear interest from the date of
issue at the rate of 2 per cent per annum above the prime
lending rate published by The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking
Corporation Limited from time to time, on the principal amount
of the MP Bond and the CU Bond (as the case may be) outstanding,

MP Conversion Shares and 1,000,000 CU Conversion Shares (as the
case may be) or integral multiples thereof or if the remaining
outstanding amount is less than HK$250,000, in the entire
outstanding amount. Fractions of Shares will not be issued on

thereof.

passu in all respects with the Shares in issue at the date of

taking, AFP online reported Friday.

10th consecutive day in early trade despite the falling
composite index, which fell 29.83 points, or 3.75 percent, at

SHINHAN BANK: S&P Assigns BBB on Unsecured Bonds
------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's announced Friday that it had assigned its
triple-'B' rating to Shinhan Bank's (BBB/Stable/A-2) proposed
senior unsecured bonds, which will be drawn down from its US$2
billion MTN program, also rated triple-'B'. The amount and
maturity of the bonds will be determined later.

The rating on Shinhan reflects a recovery in the bank's
operating environment, improvements in its asset quality, and
stable profitability. The rating also takes into account its
relatively stable performance since the 1997 Asian financial
crisis and its moderate exposure to Korea's troubled chaebols.

At the same time, Shinhan faces heightened competition in the
small to midsize enterprise and household sectors, where it has
historically enjoyed competitive advantages, given the other
Korean banks' efforts to penetrate these markets.

The stable outlook on Shinhan reflects the likelihood that its
asset quality and profitability will be maintained at a level
consistent with the current ratings on the bank.

KRETAM HOLDINGS: Will Contest Unit's Winding Up Petition
--------------------------------------------------------
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Kretam Holdings Berhad,
Alliance Merchant Bank Berhad, announced that Jeffa Construction
Sdn Bhd (JCSB), effectively a 51%-owned subsidiary of KHB, had
been served a winding-up petition dated 5 July 2002 under
Section 218 of the Companies Act, 1965, by Pembinaan LEC Sdn Bhd
(LEC), a creditor of JCSB. The petition was presented to the
High Court of Sabah and Sarawak (Court) on 5 July 2002 and shall
be heard by the Court at Sandakan on 15 August 2002. The
petition had been served on JCSB on 10 July 2002.

1. Particulars of the claim under the petition

JCSB is indebted to LEC in the sum of RM3,135,113.66 for the
cost of work done at the request of JCSB at Pusat Perdagangan
Pandan, Mukim Pandan, Johor Bahru, Johor. However, JCSB is
unable to pay the debt owing to LEC. The petition had not
stipulated any interest payable for the above-mentioned petition
sum. However, the costs of this petition by LEC shall be borne
by JCSB.

2. Details of default or circumstances leading to the filing of
the winding-up petition against JCSB

JCSB, together with KHB and Rising Resources Sdn Bhd (RRSB),
another subsidiary of KHB, had on 5 April 2002 entered into a
debt restructuring agreement (DRA) with certain financial
institutions to restructure the debt amounting to RM397,644,304
collectively (Proposed Debt Restructuring). Details of the DRA
had been announced on 5 April 2002. The Proposed Debt
Restructuring, however, did not include the restructuring of the
above unsecured debt balance of RM3,135,113.66 owing to LEC.
During the formulation of the Proposed Debt Restructuring, JCSB
had informed its unsecured creditors of a possible disposal by
KHB of its 51% equity interest in JCSB. The proceeds from the
proposed disposal will be utilized to settle the debt owing to
both JCSB's secured lender and its unsecured creditors,
including the amount owing to LEC. Nevertheless, the outright
proposed disposal failed to materialize.

As the next best alternative, JCSB had agreed to a proposed
joint venture arrangement with Southcon Corporation (M) Sdn Bhd
(SCM) to establish a joint venture company for the purpose of
continuing and completing the development of a privatized
project under the jurisdiction of Males Bandaraya Johor Bahru.
JCSB will maintain an equity interest of 30% in the new joint
venture company while SCM will hold the remaining 70% equity
interest.

In consideration of JCSB granting the right to the joint venture
company to continue the development of the aforementioned
privatized project, SCM had undertaken to assume, amongst
others, the settlement of the outstanding unsecured debts of
JCSB, which include the debt of RM3,135,113.66 owed to LEC.
Details of the proposed joint venture arrangement had been
announced on 5 June 2002.

A deed of assignment between JCSB, SCM and LEC was executed on 5
June 2002 (Deed of Assignment) to absolutely assign the debt
owed by JCSB to SCM. Pursuant to the Deed of Assignment, JCSB
was released from its obligations to settle the debt of
RM3,135,113.66 to LEC.

Despite the above assignments, LEC had still taken out a
petition for winding-up against JCSB for non-payment of debt.
The petition had been served on 10 July 2002.

3. Cost of investment

The total cost of investment in JCSB to KHB, which was incurred
between 1993 and 1994, is approximately RM1.67 million.

4. Financial and operation impact to KHB and its group of
companies (KHB Group)

KHB had given corporate guarantees to the secured lender and
unsecured creditors of JCSB, amounting to approximately RM28
million. The inability of JCSB to settle its debts owing to its
lender and creditors would result in the exercise of KHB's
corporate guarantees given to them.

Further, pursuant to the DRA, the winding-up proceedings against
JCSB may be regarded as an event of default and if declared as
such by the scheme lenders, may prove detrimental to the
proposed restructuring exercise currently undertaken by the KHB
Group.

5. Expected losses

In the event the winding-up proceedings are successful, the
exceptional loss expected to be incurred by the KHB Group is
approximately RM47.7 million.

6. Steps proposed by KHB in respect of the winding-up
proceedings

KHB shall proceed to contest the petition and file affidavit to
oppose the petition.

TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES: Posts EGM Cancellation Notice
---------------------------------------------------
Technology Resources Industries Berhad, further to the Company's
announcement on the cancellation of the Extraordinary General
Meeting scheduled to be held on 16 July 2002, posted this Notice
dispatched to shareholders of the Company:

NOTICE OF CANCELLATION OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

To: All Shareholders

Extraordinary General Meeting of Technology Resources Industries
Berhad (TRI or the Company) scheduled on 16 July 2002, pursuant
to Section 144 of the Companies Act, 1965 for the purposes of
Removing and Appointment of Directors (the EGM).

We refer to the above matter.

1. As you are aware, we had, on 5 June 2002, dispatched
circulars and notices to you as shareholders of the Company
calling for the EGM. The EGM was called in view of the
requisition made by a shareholder, Telekom Enterprise Sdn Bhd
(TESB), on 17 May 2002 (Requisition). The purpose of the EGM was
to consider the following resolutions:

   1.1 Resolutions to remove the following directors of the
Company:

     (a) Tan Sri Dato' Tajudin Ramli;
     (b) Dato' Lim Kheng Yew;
     (c) Encik Bistamam Ramli; and
     (d) Tuan Haji Mohamed Ali Yusoff;

(collectively, the "Outgoing Directors")

   1.2 Resolutions to elect the following as the new directors of
the Company:

    (a) Dato' Dr Md Khir Abdul Rahman;

on 3 July 2002, the Outgoing Directors have resigned as
directors of the Company on 3 July 2002 and the New Directors
have been appointed as directors of the Company in replacement
thereof.

3. As a result of the resignation of the Outgoing Directors
and the appointment of the New Directors on 3 July 2002, the
purpose for which the EGM was called for has ceased to exist. In
this regard, TESB has written to the Company to withdraw the
Requisition. A copy of the said letter dated 8 July 2002 is
attached herewith for your reference.

4. In view of the withdrawal by TESB, the Company has on 9
July 2002 announced to the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE) on
its decision to cancel the EGM. As advised by its legal adviser,
Messrs Zaid Ibrahim & Co,the cancellation of the EGM would not
adversely affect the rights of TESB or any other shareholders of
the Company for the following reasons:

   (a) TESB was the party requisitioning for the EGM and TESB
itself has written to the Company to withdraw the Requisition
and has also agreed for the EGM to be cancelled. As such, the
rights of TESB would not be affected; and

   (b) There are no other motions or resolutions to be tabled at
the EGM. As such, the rights of the other shareholders of the
Company would also not be affected.

5. In light of the above, the Company believes that it is in
the best interests of all parties that the EGM be cancelled.

6. In this regard, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the EGM
scheduled to be held at Ballroom 3 Level 2, Hotel Nikko Kuala
Lumpur, 165 Jalan Ampang, 50450 Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday, 16 July

This Notice has been seen and approved by the Board of Directors
of TRI and they collectively and individually accept full
responsibility for the accuracy of the information given and

all references thereto in the form and context in which they
appear in this Notice.

METRO PACIFIC: Unit Enters CBA With Labor Union
-----------------------------------------------
Metro Pacific Corp unit Negros Navigation Co (Nenaco) has signed
an agreement concerning a one-year moratorium on a collective
bargaining agreement (CBA) with its labor union, AFX Asia said
Thursday.

In a statement, Nenaco said the agreement with the union
replaces the CBA, which expired on March 31. Negotiations for a
new CBA with the union are not expected until December at the
earliest, with the new CBA to take effect only on July 1, 2003.

Nenaco President Conrado Carballo said the moratorium allows the
workers and the Company to concentrate on increasing
profitability.

Nenaco incurred a net profit after tax of 5 million pesos in the
first quarter, against a loss of 176 million a year earlier.

According to TCR-AP, as of end-2001, Metro Pacific has 18.5
billion pesos in consolidated interest-bearing liabilities.


PETROCHEMICAL CORP: Seeking Capital Infusion
--------------------------------------------
Shareholder Chemical Industries said Petrochemical Corporation
of Asia Pacific's (Petrocorp) is planning to ask investors to
inject fresh equity into the Company, AFX Asia said Thursday.

"Failure to secure such additional equity will not necessarily
mean cessation of operations considering that the Company has
continuously operated despite its prolonged difficult financial
situation." Chemical Industries said.

Petrocorp is in discussions with creditors as to how its
liabilities can be repaid.


PHILIPPINE LONG: Requests US Court to Review First Pacific Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) filed an
application on July 10 with the United States District Court to
immediately order First Pacific to file its Memorandum of
Agreement with the Gokongwei Group (the MOA) with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.

This move follows PLDT's filing of a suit in that Court on July
3, 2002 against First Pacific for failure to comply with certain
requirements under U.S securities law. This second filing seeks
to accelerate the process of judicial review in order to ensure
that alls shareholders will not be "deprived of important
information concerning the parties who seek to control PLDT, how
that control will be exercised, other material terms of the MOA,
and the arrangements the MOA apparently embodies," notes the
application.

"We are requesting the Court to immediately require First
Pacific to submit a copy of the MOA in compliance with the U.S.
Securities Exchange Act of 1934," said Buth Jimenez, VP for
Media and Communications. "We are doing this to speed up the
resolution of this issue, in the hope that we can resolve this
matter as quickly as possible and protect the interests of all
shareholders who are entitled to full disclosure of the MOA."

PLDT's application states that First Pacific failed to comply
with the U.S. federal securities law, because it filed an
amended Schedule 13D that omitted to include a copy of the MOA,
which seeks to transfer control of PLDT to the Gokongwei Group.
Instead, First Pacific merely attached a press release that
selectively disclosed some, but not all, of the terms of the
MOA, thus violating the requirements, purpose and intent of
Section 13(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

PLDT's application further states that First Pacific's failure
to submit a copy of the MOA has harmed, and until corrected will
continue to cause irreparable injury to, PLDT and its
shareholders. These shareholders are being forced to trade in
PLDT stock without adequate information about who controls a
huge block of PLDT's stock, or the terms and conditions under
which the control will be exercised.

The press release can be found at
http://bankrupt.com/misc/TCRAP_PLDT0712_Suit.pdf


PHILIPPINE LONG: First Pacific Confident on JV Deal
---------------------------------------------------
First Pacific Co Ltd Executive Vice President for Group
Corporate Communications Rebecca Brown said the Company remains
confident it will be able to conclude the joint venture
transaction with the Gokongwei group over its controlling stake
in Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co (PLDT) by the third
quarter, saying their timetable has not changed.

Asked by AFX-Asia News whether First Pacific believes the
Gokongwei group will have enough time to conduct the due
diligence, which is a condition of the agreement, before the end
of the third quarter, she replied, "We are still of the belief
that the third quarter closing is achievable for this
transaction."

Reacting to newspaper reports that PLDT President Manuel
Pangilinan is planning to bid for Bonifacio Land to prevent its
joint sale with PLDT, Ms. Brown reiterated that First Pacific
has not received any offers apart from that of the Gokongweis.

ASIA PULP: Centre Issues Affidavit Re Judicial Management Order
---------------------------------------------------------------
Centre Solutions (Bermuda) Ltd issued on July 9, 2002 an
affidavit in support of the petition filed by Deutsche Bank AG
and BNP Paribas for a judicial management order against Asia
Pulp & Paper Company Ltd (APP).

The affidavit was filed by Sukhdeep Singh Sandhu, Vice President
of Centre Solutions, in behalf of Centre as the owner of
receivables generated by Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) and various
subsidiaries and related companies of APP under the
securitization program referred to in this affidavit and also as
a creditor and or contingent creditor in support of the petition
filed by Deutsche Bank AG and BNP Paribas and Originating
Petition No. 2 of 2002 for a judicial management order against
Asia Pulp & Paper Company Ltd (APP).

Centre is of the belief that one or more judicial managers,
totally independent of APP, is required to look after the
interest of APP its members and creditors as a whole and to
ensure that any restructuring process is managed fairly and
transparently.  Centre said that it has been a victim of a
massive systematic fraud and breach of trust perpetuated by APP
in conjunction with various subsidiaries and related companies
of APP across the world that clearly demonstrates the need for
the appointment of one or more judicial managers.

the assets that Indonesia's Bank Restructuring Agency (IBRA) had
received from APP's parent, Sinar Mas, last month, the
