NOVUS PETROLEUM: Panel Receives Application From Sunov
------------------------------------------------------
In a disclosure to the Australian Stock Exchange, the Panel
announced that it has received an application from Sunov Pty.
Petroleum Ltd., pursuant to sections 657A and 657D of the
Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) for a declaration of unacceptable
circumstances and final orders in relation to the affairs of
Novus Petroleum Ltd.

Novus is currently the subject of two competing takeover bids.
Medco Energi (Australia) Pty. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of
PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk (collectively, Medco)
announced a conditional take over bid for Novus on December 22,
2003.  Medco's bid is currently due to close on June 8, 2004.
Sunov subsequently announced a conditional takeover bid for
Novus on January 19, 2004, which is currently due on June 3,
2004.

Sunov alleges that they have seen a number of press reports
attributing statements to Medco or its executives, in and
outside Australia, which have indicated that Medco would be
deciding whether to increase its bid price by a nominated date,
but that Medco has let that date pass without making any
announcements regarding an increase.  Sunov submit that these
statements were "last and final statements" as defined in
Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) Policy
Statement 25 (Truth in Takeovers) and that to date Medco has not
done what it publicly said it would do in those statements,
namely announce a decision in relation to its bid price by the
specified date.

Sunov has requested that the Panel make final orders that Medco
prominently and clearly announce its intentions, by way of
issuing a supplementary bidder's statement or making an
announcement to ASX, either that it will increase its bid to a
specified price of that its current price of $1.74 will not be
increased.

The Panel has not decided whether to conduct proceedings in
relation to the application and makes no comment on the merits
of the application. It also notes that it has not received
submissions from the other parties to the application, it is
therefore unaware of their views.

The President of the Panel is appointing a sitting Panel to
consider the application.

WOODSIDE PETROLEUM: Partners Approve Otway Gas Project
------------------------------------------------------
In a press release Woodside Petroleum Ltd. announced that joint
venturers in the Woodside-operated Otway Gas Project have
approved development of the A$1.1 billion Thylacine and
Geographe gas fields off Victoria in southern Australia.

The project involves initial expenditure of A$810 million on the
Thylacine gas field in Tasmanian permit T/30P, about 70km south
of Port Campbell. Construction, which is expected to begin in
October 2004, will involve a remotely operated platform,
offshore and onshore pipelines, and a new gas plant to be built
near the Iona gas plant, 6km north of Port Campbell.

The Geographe field, 55km south of Port Campbell in Victorian
permits Vic/P43, will be connected to the main offshore pipeline
in a later development phase.  Over the Project's life, the
Thylacine and Geographe gas fields are expected to supply 950
billion cubic feet of raw gas, 885 petajoules of sales gas, 12.2
million barrels of condensate and 1.7 million tonnes of LPG at
the Probable (including Proved) level.

Woodside's Gas and Commercial Business Unit Director, David
Maxwell, said the project demonstrated Woodside's commitment to
establishing a significant gas business in eastern Australia.

"The Otway Gas Project will initially produce about 60
petajoules of sales gas a year, which is equivalent to about 10%
of south-eastern Australia's current annual gas demand," Mr
Maxwell said.  "With production scheduled to begin in mid-2006,
the Otway Gas Project will make a significant contribution to
Woodside's overall production."

State and Commonwealth Government environmental approvals have
been obtained and the joint venturers have received notices of
intention to grant production licenses over the fields.

Technip Oceania Pty Ltd has been awarded two major contracts.
These are for the engineering, procurement, installation and
construction of the onshore gas processing plant and onshore
pipeline, and the offshore platform facilities. The offshore
pipelay and subsea tie-in contract has been awarded to Allseas
Construction Contractors S.A.

The horizontal directional drilling shore-crossing contract has
been awarded to DrillTec Australia Pty Ltd. The remaining major
contract in the process of being awarded is for the drilling of
production wells. Other materials and service contracts will
also be awarded during the construction phase.

Woodside signed a gas sales agreement with TXU on 14 April 2004
for Woodside's share of sales gas production, around 30
petajoules a year for more than 10 years. Condensate from the
project is expected to be sold to an Australian refinery, while
liquefied petroleum gas is expected to be sold to distributors
operating in Victoria.

Woodside holds a 51.55% interest in the project. The other joint
venturers are Origin Energy Resources Limited (29.75%), Benaris
International N.V. (12.7%) and CalEnergy Gas (Australia) Limited
(6.0%).

Reuters. The ABS will carry a yield around the four percent
level, which are about 40 basis points higher than triple A
rated corporate bonds. The latest ABS will be issued on May 28.

The proceeds will be used to replace maturing three-month
commercial paper. LG issued such short-term paper to refinance
maturing ABS because its financial status was not healthy enough
to issue longer-dated debts. Of the total, 525 billion won will
be issued as senior ABS, while 250 billion won will be junior
ABS.

The credit card issuer narrowly escaped bankruptcy in January
because of a US$4.5 billion bailout by creditors and the LG
Group.


LG CARD: Enters Relisting on the KSE
------------------------------------
LG Card Co., which was relisted on the Korea Stock Exchange on
Wednesday after its capital reduction, found itself riding a
roller coaster, JoongAng Daily reports.

The value of each LG Card common share was estimated at 22,800
won. Trading started at 20,050 won, the pre-opening offering
price, and at one point the stock soared its 15 percent daily
limit to 23,050 won, but then plummeted 13 percent to 17,500 won
and closed at 17,550 won.

"Shares held by LG Card's creditors have not gone on the market
yet, and the capital reduction cut the amount of shares," said
Jeon Jae-gon of Daishin Economic Research Institute. LG Card's
capital was reduced by a ratio of 43.4 to 1.

"The small amount of available shares led to huge movements in
prices," Mr. Jeon said. "Investors should pay more attention,
because there are speculators aiming at short-term gains."


* Debt Insolvency Rate Drops in April
-------------------------------------
South Korea's April debt insolvency rate edged down from a year
ago, the Korea Herald reports, citing the Bank of Korea in a
statement.

The debt default rate in April was 0.06 percent, unchanged from
March and slightly higher than 0.05 percent seen in February.
But it was lower than the 0.08 percent reported in April last
year shortly after SK Global was rocked by a US$1.2 billion
accounting scandal.

The number of companies starting new businesses in eight major
cities fell to 2,573 in April from 2,931 in March. The number of
failed companies also fell to 355 from 391.

The insolvency rate represents defaults as a percentage of all
commercial paper, corporate bonds issued for settlement,
including financial market transactions.

L&G's reply reads:

We refer to your query dated 19 May 2004 on the above subject.

The total claim relating to the Petition amounts to only

have any financial and operational impact on the L&G Group.

BSB is not a major subsidiary of L&G in either profit
contribution or in total assets employed.

can settle this matter without any detrimental effect.

CONSOLIDATED FARMS: To Revise Proposed Rights Issue
---------------------------------------------------
In an announcement dated 29 April 2004 to the Bursa Malaysia
Securities Berhad (the Exchange), the Board of Consolidated
Farms Berhad said that the Group was facing difficult financial
position in respect of meeting its cashflow requirement. The
Board was of the view that the Group's business and financial
position necessitated a review to be conducted and that the
Company proposes to complete the audit of its financial
statements for the financial year ended 31 January 2004 to move
forward.

The Company also announced on 19 May that Confarm is an affected
listed issuer under Paragraph 2.1(c) of Practice Note No.4/2001
of the Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad
with the auditors' disclaimer opinion in respect of Confarm's
going concern in the audited financial statements for the year
ended 31 January 2004.

As at 31 January 2004, the audited shareholders' funds for the
Company and the Group were RM(9.29) million (deficit) and
RM2.206 million respectively.

In a notice dated 19 May to the Exchange, the company referred
to the existing Proposed Rights Issue which entails a first call
of RM0.75 per Rights Share payable in cash on application and
the second call of RM0.25 per Rights Share payable out of the
Company's revaluation reserves and/or retained profits.

Confarm has been advised by its legal advisers that the proposed
application of the revaluation reserves in paying up the second
call of RM0.25 per Rights Share will be illegal in view of its
audited deficit shareholders' funds of RM9.290 million as at 31
January 2004. The Company's and Group's net losses for the
financial year ended 31 January 2004 were RM54.698 million
(2003:RM6.052 million) and RM42.715 million (2003:RM6.116
million) respectively. This resulted in the Company's and
Group's audited accumulated retained losses as at 31 January
2004 to be RM50.751 million and RM39.381 million respectively.
In view of these factors, the proposed capitalisation of
reserves for the second call of RM0.25 per Rights Share cannot
be implemented.

Accordingly, the Board proposes to revise the existing terms of
the Proposed Rights Issue. The details of the revised Proposed
Rights Issue will be announced upon finalisation and approval by
the Board. The authorities, shareholders and other necessary
approvals will be sought for the revision and implementation of
the Proposed Rights Issue, where applicable. Appropriate
announcements will be made on the outcome of the said approvals
and shareholders will be kept informed of the latest status.

Shareholders may refer to the Company's announcement on even
date for further information on the Company's latest financial
position.


CONSOLIDATED FARMS: Issues Company Status Update
------------------------------------------------
In a disclosure dated 19 May 2004 to the Bursa Malaysia
Securities Berhad, the Board of Directors of Consolidated Farms
Berhad (Confarm) announced:

A. Deviation of Net Loss After Tax and Minority Interest
(NLATAMI) from 4th Quarter Unaudited Results and Audited NLATAMI
for Financial Year ended 31 January 2004

The unaudited NLATAMI for the Confarm Group for the 4th Quarter
has deviated from the audited NLATAMI for the financial year
ended 31 January 2004 as approved by the Directors on 19 May
2004.

The unaudited NLATAMI for the Group for the 4th Quarter as
announced by the Company on 31 March 2004 was RM15.407 million.
The audited NLATAMI for the Group for the financial year ended
31 January 2004 approved by the Board of Directors on 19 May
2004 is RM42.7 million.

The deviation in the NLATAMI is due to the following
adjustments:
                                         RM'000         RM'000

Net loss previously announced                           (15,407)
Inventories written down                 (24,262)
Additional allowance for doubtful debts  (2,900)
Additional depreciation charge           (874)
Reversal of deferred tax liabilities      111
                                                        (27,925)
                                                        (43,332)
Add: Additional Minority Interest
share of losses                                          617
                                                        (42,715)

The above significant adjustments were necessary as the Company
undertook massive and accelerated culling of layers since April
2004. The cumulative effect of the escalating increase in the
cost of feed ingredients such as corn and soybean meal
aggravated the cash flow difficulties of the Group which
impacted adversely on feed supply and quality. This was
exacerbated by the outbreak of avian influenza when suppliers
stopped credit facilities for purchases. Being a biological
system, layers are genetically selected to grow fast, but they
also deteriorate fast. With reduced quality feeding, egg
production declined. Consequently, debtors' collection fell and
the Company was forced to undertake massive and accelerated
culling of layers since April 2004 as production had become
uneconomical. The difficulties in the cash flow position were
compounded by the unexpected refusal by a bank to re-direct the
use of certain credit facilities granted and the continued
reduced payment from debtors.

2. Qualification in Auditors' Report on Financial Statements of
Confarm Group

The auditors, KPMG, have also qualified the audited financial
statements of the Confarm Group for financial year ended 31
January 2004. The auditors reported the following:

i) The Group and the Company have failed to make payment due for
various bank borrowings of RM10,963,000 and RM5,303,000
respectively. Consequently, the Group and the Company may cross
default the entire borrowings of RM121,368,000 and RM67,951,000
respectively pursuant to the borrowing facilities agreements, as
well as the Redeemable Convertible Unsecured Loan Stocks (RCULS)
of RM5,284,000 pursuant to the instrument deed of RCULS.

In addition, as disclosed in Note 23 to the financial
statements, there are also various contingent liabilities where
the Company is contingently liable. These include the potential
transfer of certain number of Consolidated Liquid Eggs Sdn.
Bhd.'s ordinary shares held by the Company to Commerce
Technology Ventures Sdn. Bhd.

The auditors are unable to ascertain whether the contingent
liabilities will crystallize and whether any further liabilities
may arise or legal claims may be brought against the Group and
the Company.

ii) The Group and the Company incurred net losses of
RM42,715,000 and RM54,698,000 respectively for the year ended 31
January 2004, and as of that date, the current liabilities of
the Group and the Company exceeded current assets by
RM150,174,000 and RM107,586,000 respectively. The Company has
deficit in shareholders' funds of RM9,290,000 as at 31 January
2004.

In addition to reassessing the implementation of the corporate
exercise as stated in Note 29 to the financial statements, the
Directors are in the process of reviewing the operations and
financial position before deciding the way forward for the Group
and the Company.

iii) As a result of the above matters, the carrying value of the
property, plant and equipment of the Group and the Company of
RM157,340,000 and RM102,123,000 respectively and development
cost of the Group and the Company of RM6,220,000 may be impaired
because of uncertainty in future cash flows and recoverable
amounts.

Accordingly, the auditors are unable to ascertain the carrying
value of the property, plant and equipment and the development
cost and the quantum of impairment loss, if any, should these be
stated at recoverable amounts.

iv) In view of the above matters and any further commitments
(including the Share Swap Option and Put Option as disclosed in
Note 25 to the financial statements) that may crystallize, the
going concern basis of preparing the financial statements of the
Group and the Company as stated in Note 1(a) to the financial
statements may be inappropriate.

The continuation of the Group and the Company as a going concern
will be dependant on the Group and the Company achieving future
profitable operations, obtaining continuing financial support of
shareholders, bankers and creditors.

Without the continuing financial support of shareholders,
bankers and creditors and the achievement of future profitable
operations by the Group and the Company, there is a substantial
doubt that the Group and the Company would be able to operate as
a going concern and therefore as appropriate, realize their
assets and discharging their liabilities in the normal course of
business.

Consequently, adjustments will have to be made to reduce the
carrying values of the assets to their recoverable amounts, to
provide for further liabilities that may arise and to reclassify
non-current assets as current assets and non-current liabilities
as current liabilities should the Group and the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.

In view of the significance of the matters referred to in the
preceding paragraphs, the auditors expressed a disclaimer
opinion on the financial statements for the year ended 31
January 2004.

3. Practice Note No. 4/2001 of the Listing Requirements of BMSB
(First Announcement)

With the auditors' disclaimer opinion in respect of Confarm's
going concern in the audited financial statements for the year
ended 31 January 2004, the Company is an affected listed issuer

Listing Requirements of BMSB (PN 4).

two (2) months from the date of the Requisite Announcement or
the date of the First Announcement, whichever is applicable; and

vi. obtain all approvals necessary for the implementation of the
plan as set out in (iv) above within four (4) months from the
date of the submission of such plan for approval.

Should the Company fail to comply with the obligations set out
in PN4, the Company may be suspended and/or de-listed from the
Official List of BMSB.

The appointment of a monitoring accountant is not required, as
the Company does not fall within the provisions set out in
Paragraph 6.1 of PN4.

The Board of Directors is in the process of reviewing the
operations and financial position before deciding the way
forward for the Confarm Group.

4. Proposed Shareholders' Mandate for Recurrent Related Party
Transactions of a Revenue or Trading Nature

The Company had on 15 December 2003 obtained shareholders'
approval for a Shareholders' Mandate to enter into Recurrent
Related Party Transactions of revenue or trading nature (RRPT).
The said Shareholders' Mandate will lapse at the conclusion of
the forthcoming Twenty-first Annual General Meeting (21st AGM).
The Company proposes to seek a renewal of the Shareholders'

due course.

PHILIPPINE LONG: Iloilo Council Won't Give in to Request
--------------------------------------------------------
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co's. (PLDT) request to waive
its 10 -million peso tax surcharge was denied by the Iloilo City
Council through the recommendation of the committee on ways and
means headed by Councilor Antonio Pesina, Sun-Star Daily
reports.

PLDT's senior manager in the Iloilo Business Zone, Jesus
Querubin, cited the ruling of the Bureau of Local Government
Finance dated June 2, 1998 on the interpretation of Sec. 23 of
Republic Act 7925 for its request.

The ruling states "PLDT shall be exempted from the payment of
franchise and business taxes imposable by the local government
unit under sections 137 and 143, respectively, of the Local
Government Code, when R.A. 7925 takes effect on March 16, 1998.

However Mr. Pesina's committee defended their decision based on
the Supreme Court ruling in the case of "PLDT versus City of
Davao and Adelaida B. Barcelona" which states, "The fact that
after petitioner's tax exemption by RA 7082 had been withdrawn
by the Local Government Code, no amendment to re-enact its
previous tax exemption has been made by congress."

It further states: "Considering that the taxing power of local
government units under RA 7160 (Local Government Code) is clear
and is ordained by the Constitution, petitioner has the heavy
burden of justifying its claim by a clear grant of exemption."

According to the committee, (t)ax exemptions should be granted
only by clear and unequivocal provision of law on the basis of
language too plain to be mistaken. And they cannot be extended
by mere implication or influence."

As of February 17, 2004, PLDT owes Iloilo City a total of
P10,091,662.

ADVANCE AGRO: Senior Unsecured Debt Rating Raised to Caa1
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Advance Agro's senior
unsecured debt rating to Caa1 from Caa3 after the company's debt
restructuring.  The outlook for the rating is stable.

Bangkok-based Advance Agro restructured debt of approximately
THB16 billion in June 2003.  Advance Agro Capital B.V. is a
finance subsidiary to issue the senior unsecured debentures due
2007, which are guaranteed by Advance Agro.

Moody's believe the company's debt maturity profile has been
lengthened and its near-term refinancing risk reduced as a
result of the restructuring.

Advance Agro's scheduled repayment was stretched over the nine
years until 2012, and Moody's think the company could repay the
debts if the pricing trends remain at the current level.  Should
that happens, Moody's said it will upgrade the ratings.

On the other hand, Moody's indicated to downgrade the rating
should prices for pulp and paper decline by greater than 15% in
the same period.  But it sees the possibility remote at present.
