BELL GROUP: Faces Winding Up Petition
-------------------------------------
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has
revealed that The Federal Court of Australia ordered on
Wednesday, 28 April, Private Equity Asset Management Pty Ltd
(PEAM) and Spinofrere Pty Ltd (Spinofrere) be wound up on the
grounds that they are insolvent, following orders sought by the
ASIC.

The Court has appointed Mr. Gregory John Keith, of Grant
Thornton, liquidator of both companies.

PEAM and Spinofrere did not oppose ASIC's application.

The proceeding to wind up PEAM and Spinforere in insolvency was
commenced by ASIC following the appointment of Mr. Keith as an
interim receiver of PEAM and Spinofrere on 6 December 2002 in
separate proceedings commenced by ASIC in October 2002.

Mr. Keith, as interim receiver, expressed the opinion that PEAM
and Spinofrere were unable to pay their debts and were
insolvent. The auditor of the companies confirmed this view.

In the separate proceedings, commenced by ASIC in October 2002,
ASIC is seeking a number of orders, including the winding up of
Marshall Bell Hawkins Ltd. (Marshall Bell Hawkins) and Strategic
Project Marketing Ltd. (Strategic Project Marketing) on the just
and equitable ground, declarations that PEAM, Spinofrere,
Marshall Bell Hawkins, Strategic Project Marketing and Mr. Tony
Bell operated unregistered managed investment schemes, and
injunctions restraining all of the companies, other than
Strategic Project Marketing, from carrying on a financial
services business.

In December 2002, the Court made interim orders preventing
Marshall Bell Hawkins, Strategic Project Marketing and Mr. Bell
from generally dealing with their assets otherwise than in the
ordinary course of business to protect the interests of over 70
investors. This order remains on foot.

Mr. Bell is the sole director of PEAM and Spinofrere, as well as
a co-director of Marshall Bell Hawkins and Strategic Project
Marketing.

Those proceedings commenced in October 2002 are continuing and
will return to the Court on 4 June 2004.


MAYNE GROUP: Completes Acquisition of German Pharmaceutical Co.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Mayne Group Ltd. announced to the Australian Stock Exchange on
Monday that it had signed and completed the acquisition of all
the shares and the injectable pharmaceutical manufacturing
business of Wasserburger Arzneimittelwerk Dr. Madaus GmbH
(Wasserburger) from Madaus AG, Cologne, Germany.

The acquisition price is approximately Eur25.0 million and Mayne
will assume approximately Eur15.0 million in debt related to the
facility.  Having signed the deal on April 30, 2004, Mayne took
control on May 1, 2004.  The acquired company is located in
Wasserburg, Germany, employs over 200 people, and specializes in
the manufacture of freeze-dried and solution vial products for
contract customers.

Mayne's Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr.
Stuart James, said that the acquisition is another building
block in Mayne's international growth strategy by providing an
alternative source of manufacturing capacity at a price that
could not have been achieved if Mayne had decided to build its
own equivalent facility.

"This world class pharmaceutical manufacturing business will
provide Mayne with immediately needed manufacturing capacity as
well as the expertise and physical resources to support out
growth ambitions in the future," he said.

NATIONAL AUSTRALIA: Directors Likely to Resign
----------------------------------------------
National Australia Bank directors will gather on Thursday, 6
May, for a two-day board meeting. The meeting is the last of the
monthly scheduled board meetings before the May 21 extraordinary
general meeting, The Australian reports.

The board meeting will likely announce the early departure of Ed
Tedwell, Ken Moss and Geoff Tomlinson.  Mr. Tedwell has been a
director since 1998 and Mr. Tomlinson and Mr. Moss joined the
board in 2001.

Chairman Graham Kraehe is said to be announcing the date of his
own departure earlier than expected. The source said that the
EGM is unlikely proceed, although Mr. Kraehe will not chair it
if the meeting occurs, for his own position is in jeopardy.


QANTAS AIRWAYS: To Appeal Court's Decision
------------------------------------------
Qantas Airways will appeal to a court in Sydney for the approval
of a planned alliance with Air New Zealand, The Sydney Morning
Herald reports.

Qantas Airways last year planned to acquire 22.5 percent stake
in Air New Zealand for about $500 million but regulators in New
Zealand and Australia rejected the plan, saying the alliance
would be anti-competitive.

The airlines could not proceed with the deal because it has to
seek the approval of both countries' courts.

According to The Australian newspaper the Australian Competition
Tribunal will hear the appeal in the Federal Court in Sydney, in
a case which could take up to four weeks.

Air New Zealand finds the alliance significant in order to
protect its key trans-Tasman business, threatened by increased
competition.

New Zealand's national carrier has warned in the past that the
deal was vital for its survival and that a war of attrition
between itself and Qantas could follow if the deal did not go
ahead.

Air New Zealand and Qantas dominate the trans-Tasman route, but
competition is heating up with the arrival of Virgin's Pacific
Blue and Dubai-based Emirates Airline

HAINAN AIRLINES: Posts 1.3B Yuan Loss
-------------------------------------
Hainan Airlines reported a loss of 1.3 billion yuan last year
brought about by increased fuel costs and SARS, which severely
dampened demand for business and leisure travel.

In 2002, Hainan Airlines made profits equivalent to 181.2
million yuan.

George Soros of the United States is the airline's biggest
shareholder.

FUJI PHOTO: Returns To Profitability
------------------------------------
Japan's top photographic film producer and leading maker of
digital cameras, Fuji Photo Film has said its group net income
for the January-March period totaled 10,83 billion yen (US$98.45
million).

Asia Pulse reports the company's return to profitability is
brought about by rising sales of materials used in flat panel
displays and the growing popularity of combination copier-
printer machines.

The company also said rapidly growing sales of televisions and
personal computers with liquid crystal displays lifted its
earnings because these products use a special film manufactured
by Fuji that helps prevent images on their screens from
appearing distorted.

For the full fiscal year through next March, however, Fuji Photo
said it expects its net income to stay flat at 82.5 billion yen
(US$750 million), due to restructuring costs and increased
research spending.

During the same period last year, Fuji Photo Film reported a net
income loss of 10.88 billion yen.


MITSUBISHI MOTORS: To Continue Producing Pajero Units
-----------------------------------------------------
Japan's troubled Mitsubishi Motors Corporation will continue
producing the Pajero sport utility vehicle, Dow Jones reports,
citing the Nihon Keizai Shimbun.

This move comes as MMC President Yoichiro Okazaki announced the
company will be scrapping the rehabilitation plan mapped out by
top shareholder DaimlerChrysler AG.

Okazaki also described the original turnaround plan as based on
"Daimler's global strategy" and vowed to "search for a way to
stay in business as a Japanese automaker."

To this end, the troubled firm has decided not to abandon the
Pajero, a move proposed under the original DaimlerChrysler-led
plan, since the vehicle represents "Mitsubishi Motors'
identity."

Under DaimlerChrysler's plan, MMC was to focus on subcompact
cars, an area where DaimlerChrysler has a weak presence. Okazaki
now says, "we will restudy which Mitsubishi models sell well in
each market.

Mitsubishi Motors will also put on hold its plans to shut down
the Australian factory and the domestic subsidiary that makes
the Pajero.

"We're now reviewing our production structure based on
competitiveness in each market, and have yet to decide what to
do with each plant," he said.


MITSUBISHI MOTORS: Working on US$2.3B Revival Plan
--------------------------------------------------
Sources inside Mitsubishi Group have revealed that Mitsubishi
Motors Corporation (MMC) is working on a 250 billion yen (US$2.3
billion) revival plan. Reuters reports the plan aims for MMC to
expand in Southeast Asia and to keep its plants in Japan
operational.

Details of the plan will be announced by the end of May, company
officials said.

Cost of the funding is expected to come in the form of a capital
boost through the purchase of new shares by the three Mitsubishi
companies -- Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Corp and
Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi -- but MMC will also seek external
help, company sources added.

The sources, who are involved in the rescue talks, said MMC
would not close its Pajero SUV plant in Japan, as had been
planned under DaimlerChrysler's lead.

It would also seek to strengthen its operations in the promising
Southeast Asian market, investing tens of billions of yen to
raise output capacity in the Philippines by more than 10 times
to 200,000 units a year, they said.

Mitsubishi Motors is currently under pressure to come up with a
workable restructuring plan after top shareholder
DaimlerChrysler AG recently pulled out of multi-billion dollar
bail-out plan.

Industry analysts have said that MMC would need to tie up with
another carmaker if DaimlerChrysler decides to sell its 37
percent stake in MMC.

Hopes rose on Friday, 30 April, when The Nihon Keizai newspaper
reported the Mitsubishi Group was looking towards Toyota Motor
Corporation for financial and employment support. Both MMC and
Toyota have since denied the report.


MITSUBISHI MOTORS: DaimlerChrysler Keeps 37% Stake
--------------------------------------------------
Despite its decision to cut off funding to Mitsubishi Motors
Corporation, DaimlerChrysler will keep its 37 percent stake in
the ailing car company, according to Asia Pulse.

In a letter to company staff, DaimlerChrysler CEO Juergen
Schrempp says the decision to cut off Mistsubishi last week "has
not altered our strategic goal of establishing firmly our
presence in Asia."

He reiterated that the U.S.-German automaker will continue to
work on joint projects involving Mitsubishi and the Chrysler and
Smart brands.

"And we will, of course, continue to maintain our holding in
Mitsubishi Motors," he said.

DaimlerChrysler initially left the future of its Mitsubishi
stake unclear. Schrempp said he wrote the letter to address
concerns brought up in "extensive media coverage" of the
Mitsubishi decision.

DaimlerChrysler previously announced that it would not bail out
Mitsubishi followed a meeting of its supervisory board.
Mitsubishi holders were baffled and angry at DaimlerChrysler's
decision and worried the company might pull out completely from
MMC.

Schrempp's letter defended the decision, saying company leaders
had weighed it carefully.

"The Japanese market is far too important to take such a matter
lightly," Schrempp said.

"Besides which, we also enjoy an excellent working relationship
with our partners at Mitsubishi," he said. "But in the end, we
simply couldn't guarantee that the financial investment required
would, in the foreseeable future, result in an acceptable return
for our shareholders."


TOKYO ELECTRON: Returns To Profit
---------------------------------
Tokyo Electron, the world's second-largest manufacturer of chip
equipment, posted a group net profit of 8.3 billion yen for the
year ending 31 March, Reuters reports. This is compared to a net
loss of 41.55 billion yen in 2002/2003 when it had to pay for
job cuts and other measures to cope with low demand from chip
makers.

Tokyo Electron said it planned a full-year dividend of 30 yen
this year versus last year's 10 yen payout. Tokyo Electron's
dividend yield thus triples to 0.45 percent but that is still
far below 0.87 percent, the average rate for Nikkei 225
companies.

Tokyo Electron also said sales growth in Japan and Taiwan
contributed to revenue gains last year and it forecast that chip
equipment sales in China and Southeast Asia would double this
year. The company cited strong sales of chip equipment to outfit
new semiconductor factories that use 300-mm (12-inch) silicon
wafers, which yield more than twice as many chips per wafer as
the standard 200-mm variety.

HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR: Shares On The Rise
---------------------------------------
Shares in Hynix Semiconductor Inc went up by 5.16 percent to
11,200 won. According to Reuters, the increase came after the
chipmaker announced a turn to a quarterly net profit.

Thanks to an unexpected rise in chip prices, the world's third-
largest maker of computer memory chips earned 351.1 billion won
($304.8 million) in net profit for the first quarter.


KOOKMIN BANK: Shares Drop Due To Foreign Sales
----------------------------------------------
Shares in South Korea's top lender, Kookmin Bank dropped by five
percent to 43,000 won, underperforming both the banking sector
and overall market, on heavy foreign selling, Reuters reports.

Net foreign sales in South Korean shares have reached 299.5
billion won so far on Friday, 30 April, mostly attributed to
concerns over a possible slowdown in China's economy and the
prospect of higher interest rates in the United States.


SK CORPORATION: To Hold Overseas Investor Relations
---------------------------------------------------
South Korea's top refiner, SK Corporation said on Sunday, 2 May,
that it will hold an overseas investor relations session in the
United States late this month, as reported by Asia Pulse, citing
Yonhap News.

The first road show will be held in New York and four other U.S.
cities from May 24-29. A second overseas show will be held at
the end of August after the release of the company's first-half
financial results.

The overseas investor relations sessions will allow SK
Corporation to brief U.S. institutional investors and
shareholders on the company's first-quarter performance,
improvements in its governance structure and the progress in
restructuring.


* KOREAN CARDS: Delinquency Rate Falls
--------------------------------------
The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) said on Sunday, 2 May,
that the rate of bills overdue one month and longer for South
Korea's seven credit card companies fell to 12.18 percent from
15 percent in February. Yonhap News says the drop is due to the
companies' massive disposal of bad debts.

"After reaching a peak, the delinquency rate at credit card
firms is expected to continue to drop in light of a fall in new
overdue payments," the FSS said.

Only BC Card Company's delinquency rate increased, from 8.41
percent to 9.09 percent. The remaining seven card issuers'
overdue payment rates dipped.

The delinquency rate of LG Card fell to 15.15 per cent from
19.68 per cent; Samsung Card, to 10.63 per cent from 11.25 per
cent; Hyundai Card, to 6.78 per cent from 8.36 per cent; Lotte
Card, to 1.7 per cent from 2.33 per cent; and Woori Card, to
16.16 per cent from 20.4 per cent.

PROTON: In No Hurry To Get Foreign Partner
------------------------------------------
Malaysian former Prime Minister and Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional
Berhad (Proton) adviser Mahathir Mohamad has said the national
carmaker is not in any rush to sign up a foreign partner, AFP
reports.

This comes only days after the International Trade and industry
Minister Rafidah Aziz urged the company to speed up its search
for a foreign partner. A new partner can help the struggling
carmaker expand and compete in the regional and global markets.

Mahathir, on his part, says that Proton must be allowed, in its
own time, to choose a foreign partner that will be compatible
with and contribute positively to the company.

"It is an important step but you must study it carefully and not
just because people say so," Mahathir says. "Everyone says
Proton needs a strategic partner but this doesn't ensure that
you will succeed."

Mahathir said Proton must learn from foreign carmakers doing
well in Malaysia how to be competitive and cut costs.

"Proton must look at how other countries can produce cheap cars
and how some of them are able to import cars to Malaysia at
prices that are below the cost of the raw materials to make
them," he said. "We must learn how to produce very cheap cars."

Mahathir said that Proton was evaluating several offers from
"big automotive companies". It was an attractive catch for
potential partners because it could offer access to the
Malaysian car market, which is the second biggest in Southeast
Asia, he said.

State investment arm Khazanah Nasional, the single largest
shareholder, is said to be considering plans to allow a foreign
carmaker to hold up to 20 percent equity in Proton to boost its
competitiveness and improve sales eroded by foreign rivals.

Mahathir, who created Proton in 1983 as part of Malaysia's drive
into heavy industry, was recently appointed adviser to the
company after retiring as prime minister last October.

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