INTERNATIONAL UNITY: Court Appoints Liquidator
----------------------------------------------
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) on
Wednesday obtained orders in the Federal Court of Australia to
wind up International Unity Insurance (General) Limited (IUI
General), an unauthorized foreign insurer, and its Australian
agent, International Unity Insurance Pty Ltd (IUI Australia),
the ASIC reports.

Justice Lander ordered that Mr. Paul Pattison of Pattison
Consulting be appointed as the official liquidator of IUI
General and IUI Australia.

IUI General, a company incorporated in the Solomon Islands, held
a general insurers license in the Solomon Islands from March
2001 until March 2002, when the Solomon Islands' Controller of
Insurance canceled it.

At that time, IUI General stopped accepting or renewing new
policies of insurance.

ASIC's action follows complaints from Australian holders of IUI
General's policies that more than $1 million of insurance claims
and policy refunds had not been paid. These claims relate to
insurance policies accepted by IUI General before March 2002.

ASIC does not believe there are any current IUI General policies
of insurance on foot and that all policies have now expired.

Consumers who hold insurance policies accepted by IUI General
and who have claims that are unpaid or who wish to seek a refund
of their premium should contact the liquidator of IUI and IUI
General, Mr. Paul Pattison of Pattison Consulting, on (03) 9600
4611.

'ASIC's action will enable the assets of IUI General and IUI to
be realized for the benefit of Australian consumers who have
unpaid or unresolved claims and disputes under policies of
insurance accepted by IUI General', said Mr. Mark Steward,
Deputy Executive Director of Enforcement.

BACKGROUND

IUI General entered into agreements with a number of Australian-
based insurance brokers to place insurance policies with the
Australian public. The policies written included prestige motor
vehicle insurance, and commercial insurance risks for the
hospitality and hotel industry.

ASIC alleged that:

IUI General and IUI Australia were both insolvent.

IUI General did not have funds to meet all existing claims and
policy refunds that were due and payable.

The auditor of IUI Australia had raised serious concerns about
the conduct and management of the affairs of the company with
ASIC.

IUI General had claimed to enter into reinsurance and portfolio
transfers with insurance companies located in Serbia and Bosnia
and Herzegovina, represented in Australia by AMCO Group Pty Ltd
and associated companies (AMCO Group), but that these
transactions were sham transactions.

ASIC had previously taken action against AMCO in 2003 and it is
in liquidation (see ASIC Media Releases 03-326, 03-181 and 03-
167).

As part of these sham transactions, IUI Australia paid monies
held on behalf of IUI General in a Claims Reserve account to
companies within the AMCO Group.

Further investigation by ASIC with the Serbian and Bosnian
insurance companies and regulatory authorities revealed that the
AMCO Group were not authorized to act on those companies'
behalf, nor had they entered into the reinsurance and portfolio
transfer agreements.

IUI Australia had entered into a number of related party loans
that required review by an official liquidator;

A liquidator should be appointed to consider whether there are
any assets that may be realized for payment to creditors,
including payment of outstanding insurance claims and refunds of
insurance premiums;

It was appropriate that IUI Australia and IUI General be wound
up on just and equitable grounds, or alternatively on grounds of
insolvency.

IUI General is a foreign company that is not registered under
the Corporations Act 2001 (the Act). It has now ceased to carry
on business in Australia. As a result, IUI General is defined as
a 'Part 5.7 body'.

As such, IUI General may be wound up under Chapter 5 of the Act
in circumstances including:

a) If the Part 5.7 body is unable to pay its debts;

b) If the Part 5.7 body has ceased to carry on business in this
jurisdiction; and  

c) If the Court is of opinion that it is just and equitable that
the Part 5.7 body should be wound up.


NATIONAL AUSTRALIA: Lodges Memo for European MTN Program
--------------------------------------------------------
National Australia Bank (NAB) has lodged with the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange the offering memorandum for its European Medium
Term Note Program, the Company said in a press release. Notes
issued under the program may be listed on the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange.

NAB has previously announced it will raise subordinated debt as
part of its annual debt-raising program to increase its total
capital ratio to more than 10 per cent of risk weighted assets.

The increase in total capital is part of the remedial actions
required by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority
following its review of irregular currency options trading.

Part of this additional capital will be raised under this
European Medium Term Note Program.

TINGALPA CAPITAL: Drops Lawsuit Against EGI
-------------------------------------------
In a disclosure to the Australian Stock Exchange, the liquidator
of Tingalpa Capital Pty Ltd has formally advised creditors that
it will not be pursuing any further legal claims against
Australian IT Company, eGlobal International Ltd (EGI).

"This is good news for EGI which will now be able to remove this
contingent liability of $2,050,000 from its balance sheet," said
EGI Chief Executive Officer Chris Teoh.

"This is another issue from the past that EGI is pleased to put
behind it as we strive to restore shareholder value to Company's
balance sheet."

EGI purchased the business, assets and undertakings of Tingalpa
Capital's business (which EGI later incorporated into Ozecorp
Global) in March 2001. This business was subsequently resold to
Tingalpa Capital in September 2001.

Legal proceedings brought by Tingalpa Capital claimed damages of
$1,900,000 arising from an alleged breach of contract and
claimed a further $150,000 owing as a final payment to Tingalpa
Capital under the business purchase agreement.

Mr. Teoh said EGI has defended itself against Tingalpa's claim,
which EGI has always maintained was unfounded and baseless. EGI
contends that Tingalpa had indeed acted in bad faith with
respect to the Ozecorp transaction.

As a result of Tingalpa's actions, EGI launched a counterclaim
against Tingalpa Capital for the $550,000, which was not paid as
consideration for the repurchase of Ozecorp Global. Tingalpa
Capital subsequently went into liquidation.

Mr. Tech said EGI was now looking into any rights that it might
have against the Directors of Tingalpa at the time the Company
went into insolvency to attempt to recover the monies that it is
owed by Tingalpa.

BANK INTERNASIONAL: Plans Financial Restructuring
-------------------------------------------------
PT Bank Internasional Indonesia, the country's sixth-largest
lender, announced Wednesday its plan for financial restructuring
to augment its balance sheet and for future expansion, Dow Jones
reports.

The plan, which is subject to shareholders' approval, aims to
reduce the par value of the company's seri A shares from
IDR5,000 ($1=IDR9,480) each to IDR900, its seri B and C shares
from IDR1,250 each to IDR225, and its seri D shares from IDR125
to IDR22.50.

With the shares' par value reduction, the bank's paid-in capital
will be reduced from IDR17.87 trillion to IDR3.22 trillion. The
gains from the reduction of the shares' par value of IDR14.65
trillion and assets revaluation of IDR1.2 trillion will then be
used to balance the bank's retained losses of IDR15.85 trillion.

The bank also said that with a zero-losses position, it would
then be able to pay shareholders' dividends.

After the implementation of the reorganizational plan, which
will be discussed in a shareholders' meeting on June 30, the
bank will be left with a net equity capital of IDR3.38 trillion,
compared with the previous IDR3.36 trillion.

FUJIKIN K.K.: Steel Firm Enters Bankruptcy
------------------------------------------
Fujikin K.K. has entered bankruptcy, according to Teikoku
Databank America. The iron and steel wholesale firm, which is
located at Nagoya-shi, Aichi Japan, has total liabilities of
US$130.83 million.


FUJITSU LIMITED: Expands Alliance With Sun
------------------------------------------
Sun Microsystems, Inc., and Fujitsu Limited announced the
expansion of their 20-year strategic relationship to include the
joint development and delivery of future generation Solaris and
SPARC-based systems. The move brings together two of the
strongest companies in the world to deliver best in class
platforms for all possible network computing workloads and grow
the market for Solaris and SPARC.

In a press release, Sun and Fujitsu will bring together their
Solaris and SPARC-based server product lines by mid-2006,
creating the industry's most complete data center systems
family, code named the Advanced Product Line (APL). APL will run
the world's leading enterprise-class operating system, Solaris,
the Java Enterprise System, and virtually every major enterprise
application. When complete, the APL will replace Sun's and
Fujitsu's existing Sun Fire and PRIMEPOWER product lines,
respectively. Customers will benefit from safe and seamless
binary compatibility along the SPARC roadmap.

During the transition period leading up to the launch of the
APL, Sun and Fujitsu will work together to quickly implement
arrangements to make each other's current Sun Fire and
PRIMEPOWER product lines available for distribution through both
companies. These arrangements will vary by geography. The
companies and their respective customers will all benefit from
the expanded distribution of both companies' existing product
lines prior to the introduction of the jointly-developed, next
generation products.

"Today's announcement further expands the available market for
the Solaris and SPARC family of systems and continues to prove
Sun is one of the most highly leveraged technology companies in
the world, with partnerships extending across consumers,
developers, and now with Fujitsu, well into the mainframe
computing environment," said Jonathan Schwartz, president and
chief operating officer, Sun Microsystems. "Sun continues to
grow the broadest operating platforms on earth, spanning Java
and the Java Enterprise System, the Solaris operating
environment running industry standard x86 servers, up into the
mainframe environment, and a newly expanded SPARC family,
providing the highest performance computing infrastructure for
the largest diversity of network workloads. Sun and Fujitsu
couldn't be better positioned to drive share in the growing
market for network computing."

"Fujitsu's leading-edge semiconductor technology and expertise
in developing high-performance, high-reliability processors for
world-class mainframe and supercomputer systems, together with
Sun's Solaris, Java and other industry-leading technology
strengths, represent a powerful combination for enterprise
customers," remarked Hiroaki Kurokawa, president of Fujitsu
Limited. "I'm confident that our enhanced partnership will
enable us to provide customers with optimal server products that
deliver maximum business value."

One Focus, One Family, All Workloads

The announcement brings together Sun's competence and expertise
in the Internet, and network computing, with Fujitsu's expertise
in mission-critical computing. It redoubles the industry's
investment in Solaris and SPARC, and ensures systems will be
available to cover every possible workload - both in the rapidly
evolving throughput computing marketplace, as well as the
requirement for mainframe scale and quality in traditional
computing.

Expanded Reach For World's Most Popular UNIX, Solaris

"This is not only good for Sun and Fujitsu who are essentially
doubling the number of 'feet on the street' globally, but their
customers, partners and investors will also benefit tremendously
from this alliance," said Vernon Turner, Group Vice President,
Global Enterprise Server Solutions, IDC. "It means a protected
investment, a clear product roadmap, high-quality and choice,
and a great potential to grow market share."

The enhanced partnership will also result in strengthened
systems integration capability and channels for Solaris and
SPARC systems. This will create increased opportunities for the
combined companies' thousands of integrated software vendors
(ISVs) and resellers by broadening the market for Solaris.

Sun and Fujitsu will also build on their combined strength
across virtually all-global markets to ensure customers receive
industry-leading service and support. The companies will also
optimize their distribution channels and leverage each other's
manufacturing facilities and Sun's established relationship with
third party manufacturers.

The announcement marks a historic milestone in SPARC's two-
decade history; marked by the "openness" that was the
fundamental principle behind the formation of SPARC
International in 1989. Openness of the processor architecture
allowed Sun and Fujitsu to collaborate on defining the
architecture and compete on implementations. Both the UltraSPARC
and the SPARC64 implementations are based on the open SPARC V9
Instruction Set Architecture, and it is the "openness" of the
architecture that has made this alliance possible.

ABOUT FUJITSU

Fujitsu is a leading provider of customer-focused IT and
communications solutions for the global marketplace. Pace-
setting technologies, highly reliable computing and
communications platforms, and a worldwide corps of systems and
services experts uniquely position Fujitsu to deliver

reported consolidated revenues of 4.7 trillion yen (US$45
billion) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

Fujitsu Limited aims to post a group net profit of 100 billion
yen and an operating profit of 300 billion yen for the fiscal
year ending March 2007, TCR-AP Vol. 7 No. 104 reports. After two
years of heavy losses, the Company booked a group net profit of
49.70 billion yen for the year that ended March 31, as special
profits from the return of part of its employee pension fund to
the government and sales of shareholdings offset heavy losses
from restructuring.

MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC: Reshapes Mobile, Auto Electronics Business
----------------------------------------------------------------
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., in a press release,
announced plans to reorganize and consolidate its mobile phone
and automotive electronics production in Japan. Under the
proposed plan, mobile phone manufacturing carried out at the
Hanamaki plant in Iwate Prefecture will be shifted to Shizuoka
Prefecture and automotive electronics manufacturing to Matsumoto
in Nagano Prefecture. The plan is a part of Matsushita's new 3-
year business plan, the "Leap Ahead 21" Plan, aiming at further
enhancing the company's strategy to achieve an optimum system
for global production.

The Shizuoka plant will be repositioned as a high value-added
production base for the latest-generation mobile phones such as
FOMA1. In the mobile phone market, competition is intensifying
in terms of price and technological development to create more
advanced and diversified services such as the third generation
(3G) mobile phone communication. The Shizuoka plant will become
one of the mobile phone manufacturing bases that can readily
respond to such global demands in line with overseas facilities
in China, the Philippines, Czech and other countries.

The Matsumoto plant will take over the production of auto-
related electronic components and will become the domestic
manufacturing base of automotive multimedia products,
manufacturing a wide range of automotive electronics from
components to systems such as car navigations and AV systems.
The Matsumoto plant will also become the "mother plant,"
specializing in the manufacture of high value-added products and
the development of advanced automotive electronics production
technologies. It will ensure quality consistency by transferring
its manufacturing technologies to overseas facilities.

With an increasing number of automotive manufacturers building
up overseas operations more aggressively, it is imperative for
Matsushita, one of the leading automotive electronics producers,
to have a production base that can deliver quality products at
the cost and speed that automotive manufacturers demand on a
global scale.

The consolidation is scheduled to begin from October 1, 2004,
subject to an agreement with the union. The mobile phone line
employees in Hanamaki will be asked to move to the Shizuoka
plant and those at the automotive electronics line to the
Matsumoto plant. For those who might find it difficult to move
for their own reasons, Matsushita will decide alternative
solutions including job relocation program in consultation with
the union.

MITSUBISHI FUSO: Issues Current Status of Ongoing Activities
------------------------------------------------------------
In a continuing effort to proactively improve corporate culture
Mitsubishi Fuso (MFTBC) updates the public on the current status
of ongoing activities and initiatives, a company press release
said. The company hereby provides an update on three key
measures:

Initiation of disciplinary action against 29 employees in
connection with quality issues surrounding the so-called "Hub
Case" and "Clutch Housing Case" recalls.

Strengthening of its corporate governance structures.

Enhanced channels of communications aimed at better providing
the public with information on quality issues.

During the last week, a number of former executives and
employees were indicted. MFTBC takes this very seriously.
President and CEO, Wilfried Porth, once again, expressed his
sincerest apologies to MFTBC's customers and all effected
persons for any inconvenience and anguish caused by this matter.

"We deeply regret the wrongdoings in the past. The new
management will strive constantly to improve our quality
management. In doing so, we will continue with our internal
quality investigation in order to regain the fullest trust of
our long-established customers and the general public," Porth
said.

MFTBC continues to fully cooperate with all relevant police and
investigating authorities.

MFTBC had announced on May 20th that it would take disciplinary
action against employees in connection with the quality issues
related to two previously announced recalls: the "Hub Case" and
the "Clutch Housing Case".

An internal investigation has determined that three departments
should be held accountable for previous misconducts. These
departments are:

The Development Office for such wrongdoings as poor performance
in its day-to-day operation, noncompliance with testing
standards, insufficient follow-up of design results and
unsatisfactory and indifferent reaction to accidents reports;

The Quality Department for mismanagement of so-called "Product
Quality Reports" (PQR's) and delayed reporting to the Ministry
of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT) and for failing to
take appropriate and timely; and

The Service Departments for such wrongdoings as neglect of
appropriate market reactions, such as not filing for recalls or
undermining warranty inspections of vehicles.

The responsibility of the former truck division's management and
employees, in this respect, has been proven material. Provided,
however, that in some way the respective former management and
employees acted in a framework which made them follow
established yet unwritten rules imposed by top management,
leniency was taken into account while deciding on disciplinary
actions against them.

As a result of the ongoing internal investigation, 29 staff
members were subjected to the following disciplinary actions for
direct involvement:

4 Suspensions: (2 Executive General Managers and 2 Senior
Managers); suspension period = 5 days

6 Pay cuts: (2 Senior Executive Officers, 1 Executive General
Manager and 3 Senior Managers) = SEO; 30% of pay for 3 months;
EGM and SM = 5th grade, 50% of pay for one day.

19 Reprimands: (3 Senior managers, 16 Managers and Experts) =
written letter of apology.

These actions are in line with Japanese "Labor Standards Law" as
well as in-house company rules and procedures.

The second proactive measure that seeks to improve MFTBC's
corporate culture relates to the corporate governance structure.
MFTBC believes that a clear prerequisite for change is to
develop and improve this structure. It has therefore established
two committees in the wake of the recent findings. These
committees are the:

Quality Advisory Committee

Corporate Culture Reform Committee.

Both Committees, respectively, have by now met in session and
decided upon a time frame for future reform.

The "Quality Advisory Committee" plays a decisive role for
reform. Its task is to evaluate and decide upon concrete
measures for quality improvement.

The Committee held its inaugural meeting on May 17. It is
comprised of four members, MFTBC's Chairman Michio Hori, and
three external experts:

Committee Chairman, Dr. Naomasa Nakajima, Vice-President, the
University of the Air (Chiba Prefecture), Professor Emeritus,
The University of Tokyo.

Dr. Masuru Yoshimori, Professor, the University of the Air
(Chiba Prefecture). Professor Emeritus, Yokohama National
University.

Hideaki Imamura, Vice President, Boston Consulting Group.

MFTBC is deliberately seeking the counsel of external
specialists as it considers their expertise and independence key
to developing impartial directives.

This committee has three sub-committees, which deal with the
following issues:

Engineering and testing.

Quality information management processes.

Customer quality information and dealer services.

The Chairman of MFTBC, Michio Hori said: "Our job is to provide
a framework for reform and to drive action which supports the
reform of corporate governance. We very clearly have our
customers and the public in focus."

The second committee is the Corporate Culture Reform Committee.
It is headed by Atsushi Ueki, Expert, Corporate Office. This
committee is comprised of 12 members from different areas of the
company. It has already met a number of times and has set an
agenda calling for the examination of the following points:

Defining challenges to the existing corporate culture and the
nature of organization at MFTBC.

Defining the ideal corporate culture for the company.

Exploring possible disparities between existing corporate
culture and the ideal approach.

Proposal to bridge this disparity.

Both committees have set themselves a clear timeline of 12
months, taking into account the complexity of the matter. There
will be regular up-date reports.

As a third point of practical corporate action, MFTBC announced
the start of an ongoing, internet-based quality progress report.
The aim of this initiative is to consistently update the public
on background facts as well as progress made in quality issues.
These details can be accessed at www.mitsubishi-fuso.com/jp.
This new service - for the domestic market - will start next
week. It will provide information on the work-progress of the
Committees as well as the recall issues. Countermeasures for
export models will also be conducted, but in line with the
regulations of the respective markets.

In its effort to update the public MFTBC would like to point out
the progress of the ongoing quality issues:

Regarding the recall of the front and rear hubs (Hub Case"),
MFTBC is currently, as announced, employing temporary measures
while doing further evaluation to confirm permanent measures by
the end of the June.

Regarding the "Clutch Housing Case", MFTBC has again initiated a
temporary measure. During the period required to develop a
permanent solution, affected vehicles are subject to stringent
inspection and will have replacement parts provided if defective
parts are found.

MFTBC is currently working on three additional cases including
the propeller shaft and braking system of the heavy-duty
"Sightseeing" bus, as well as the propeller shaft of certain
heavy-duty trucks, which it announced on May 20. An official
recall date has yet to be determined, but MFTBC will endeavor to
submit this as soon as possible.

MFTBC would like to point out that this report represents the
status of the quality findings as of Wednesday. In line with its
approach on improved transparency, MFTBC will hold a press
conference in the near future to further discuss the exploration
and resolution of quality issues. As the internal investigation
continues in earnest, the company cannot exclude the discovery
of further quality issues that might require a recall campaign.
As such, MFTBC believes that any future disclosure should be
conducted on a step-by-step basis as and when new information
emerges. It will then be presented to the public. This, MFTBC
believes, reflects the systematic improvement of its quality
management system since early 2003.

MITSUBISHI MOTORS: Reveals More Cover-ups of Vehicle Defects
------------------------------------------------------------
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation admitted hiding 92 types of
vehicle defects for years, Kyodo News reported on Thursday.

Mitsubishi President Yoichiro Okazaki said the carmaker should
have recalled 26 models that had the more serious types of
defect.  These models include the Lancer, Mirage, Gallant and
the Pajero.

The admission coincided with the carmaker's announcement to
recall over 160,000 cars, mostly sold in Japan, according to the
Associated Press.


MITSUBISHI MOTORS: Shares Plunge As Further Cover-Ups Emerge
------------------------------------------------------------
Shares of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation fell by as much as 13
percent to JPY187 on Thursday, as further admissions of car
recall cover-ups clouded the recovery prospects for the ailing
car maker, according to Dow Jones.

Analysts expect this latest development to further hit the
automaker's slumping sales, as well as stain its brand's image
following a series of recalls and admissions of attempts to
cover up defective products at Mitsubishi Fuso Truck & Bus
Corporation, its former truck division.

Mitsubishi Motors may have little choice but to rethink its
overhaul plans following the latest setback, analysts say.


MORIMOTO CORPORATION: Former Execs Face Accounting Fraud Charges
----------------------------------------------------------------
Four top honchos of failed construction company Morimoto
Corporation were accused Wednesday of manipulating the company's
accounts, according to Kyodo News.

The Osaka District Public Prosecutors Office sued President
Yoshihide Morimoto, Vice-Presidents Miyoshi Arima and Asao Wada,
and executive board member Toshikazu Sagara for "window
dressing."

The firm constructs roads, railroad tracks, water mains and
sewerage, houses, factories, medical/welfare facilities and also
engages in real estate sales. Construction accounted for 98
percent of fiscal 2002 revenues; real estate, 2 percent.


TANABE KURIETO: Construction Firm Goes Bankrupt
-----------------------------------------------
General civil engineering and construction firm Tanabe Kurieto
K.K. has entered bankruptcy, according to Teikoku Databank
America. Based in Oita-shi, Oita Japan, the company has total
liabilities of US$30.58 million.


TOHOKU ENTERPRISE: Air Conditioning Firm Goes Bankrupt
------------------------------------------------------
Tohoku Enterprise Co. Ltd. recently filed for bankruptcy,
according to Teikoku Databank America. The air conditioning and
heating equipment installation firm, which is located at
Koriyama-shi, Fukushima Japan, has total liabilities of US$66.58
million.


UFJ BANK: May Seek Toyota's Help
--------------------------------
UFJ Bank may request financial aid from Toyota Motor Corporation
to strengthen the struggling bank's capital, Japan Times
reported on Wednesday, citing UFJ Bank President Takamune
Okihara.

"We may ask for it in line with our cooperative relationship,"
Okihara said.

Mr. Okihara said the capital reinforcement is the biggest issue
that must be considered by management. He added that the bank
would step up efforts to raise its capital adequacy ratio back
above 10 percent as quickly as possible.


UFJ GROUP: Facing Business Improvement Orders; On Watch Positive
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said its ratings on UFJ Bank
Ltd. (BBB/Watch Pos/A-2) and UFJ Trust Bank Ltd. (BBB/Watch
Pos/A-2) remain on Credit Watch with positive implications
following media reports that the government's Financial Services
Agency (FSA) may issue business improvement orders to the UFJ
group.

Japanese media reported Wednesday that the UFJ group has
received an improvement order from the FSA, saying the group has
been too lenient in its assessment of non-performing loans. The
reports also indicated that the FSA is considering other
business improvement orders and whether to take action against
the group, which it reportedly suspects of concealing documents
during an inspection conducted by the agency in 2003. UFJ has
denied these media reports.

"Even if the allegations turn out to be true, they will not
affect the intrinsic financial status of the UFJ group
significantly," Standard & Poor's credit analyst Nana Otsuki
said. "But these latest developments, following UFJ's drastic
revision to its earnings forecast for fiscal 2003, further limit
the chances of an upgrade to its credit ratings," Ms. Otsuki
added.

Standard & Poor's put the ratings on UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust on
Credit Watch with positive implications on April 28, 2004, along
with its ratings on the Mizuho banks, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking
Corp., and Chuo Mitsui Trust & Banking Co. Ltd. One of the
reasons for the Credit Watch placement was the overall
improvement in the business environment. UFJ's asset risks have
also receded since fiscal 2001, when the ratings on the
operating banks were lowered to 'BBB', as indicated by
improvement in the group's net non-performing loan ratio to 4.8%
from 9.5% between March 2002 and March 2004.

However, in Standard & Poor's view, upgrades of UFJ Bank and UFJ
Trust may be more difficult to achieve than for other major bank
groups.

"Although Standard & Poor's still believes that the
macroeconomic environment has recovered to some extent, and that
the asset risks of the UFJ group are gradually declining, we are
more concerned about the risk of capital erosion, particularly
in light of possible additional costs that may be generated by
its efforts to shed non-performing assets in fiscal 2004," Ms.
Otsuki said.

Nevertheless, an immediate downward revision of the ratings on
UFJ's operating banks because of the losses incurred in fiscal
2003 is unlikely.

The ratings are still supported by the expectation that the
government will extend support to the bank group if needed, as
well as by the group's strong business franchise and stable core
earnings. Completion of a review of UFJ's asset risks is
expected in June 2004.

HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR: S&P Places Rating on Credit Watch Status
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has placed its 'CCC+' long-
term corporate credit rating on Hynix Semiconductor Inc. on
Credit Watch with positive implications, following the
announcement by the company's creditor banks that they have
accepted an increased offer from Citigroup to purchase Hynix's
remaining non-memory chip division. At the same time, the rating
agency also placed its 'CCC+' long-term corporate and senior
unsecured debt ratings on Hynix Semiconductor Manufacturing
America Inc. on Credit Watch with positive implications.

"Hynix's credit profile is expected to continue strengthening,
supported by favorable conditions for the memory business and
expected cash of around W575 billion, net of the loan provided
to Citigroup, from the sale of the non-memory chip business,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Eun Jin Kim.

"Nevertheless, Hynix still faces large capital investment
requirements in the medium term to maintain its competitiveness,
and over W950 billion of debt maturing this year," Ms. Kim
added.

In resolving the Credit Watch status, Standard & Poor's will
review the full terms of the deal, which will be finalized in
the next few weeks. Also of importance will be Hynix's long-term
ability to generate cash flow from its core memory business to
meet investment requirements and debt repayments. Any upgrade is
likely to be within one notch.


JINRO LIMITED: Merrill Lynch Leads Prospective Sale Advisers
------------------------------------------------------------
At least eight investment banks are lobbying to become the
adviser to the sale of Jinro Limited.  According to Dow Jones,
Merrill Lynch is leading the pack with Citigroup and Lehman
Brothers mounting a serious challenge.

Expected to generate investment-banking fees of around US$100
million, the juicy appointment has also attracted Doosan
Corporation, Newbridge Capital, CVC Capital Partners, Lotte
Group and Taihan Wire.

The sale is expected to gross US$2.1 billion for creditors led
by Goldman Sachs, the report said.  Some 20 bidders, including
South Korean conglomerates, international drinks companies and
western private equity funds, are believed to be interested in
the sale.

The sale adviser will be named by the end of this month with
bids likely to be lodged in October and a deal completed by the
end of the year.


SSANGYONG MOTOR: New Preferred Bidder to be Named this Month
------------------------------------------------------------
Creditors of Ssangyong Motor Co. will pick their preferred
bidder for the troubled carmaker this month, Yonhap News
reports.

According to Chohung Bank, the company's main creditor, several
automakers have shown interest in Ssangyong since sale talks
with China National Bluestar Corporation broke down.  Creditors
dropped Bluestar as preferred bidder in April after it failed to
submit a firm offer and a letter of support from Beijing.

Chohung said it is now reviewing the terms of the sale, adding
it will definitely name the bidder this month.

MANILA ELECTRIC: Creditors Approve US$200M Bond Issuance
--------------------------------------------------------
Creditors of Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) have allowed "in
principle" the troubled power distributor to tap the
international market to raise at least US$200 million worth of
bonds, Dow Jones reports.

The issuance of the bonds, which are expected to carry a
maturity of five to seven years, will help refinance Meralco's
existing debts. However, the company still needs to get approval
for the bond issue under certain local covenants in order to
incur additional debt.

Meralco had been planning to sell the bonds early this year, but
had to withdraw the deal following the Supreme Court's order to
suspend a provisional 0.12 peso-per-kilowatt-hour electricity
rate hike that was supposed to have taken effect this month.

Among other things that caused the delay was Meralco's plan to
look for other ways to raise funds by holding talks with other
investment banks about the possibility of extending the terms of
its existing debt.


PHILIPPINE LONG: Extends Interim Agreement With AT&T
----------------------------------------------------
Philippine Long Distance and Telephone Co. (PLDT) and U.S. based
phone firm AT&T have recently agreed to extend their interim
agreement involving termination rates.

In a press release, Alfredo S. Panlilio, PLDT Senior Vice
President and Head of International and Carrier Business Group,
said PLDT and AT&T were both pleased to have arrived at this
agreement as they continue to explore ways to reach mutually
acceptable rates without disrupting delivery of services to each
other's customers.

Last January, PLDT and AT$T signed an interim agreement that
will expire by the end of June this year.  Both parties have now
agreed to extend the interim rates agreed upon in the earlier
agreement until the end of December 2004.

The termination rates determine how much local and foreign
carriers will charge for carrying traffic through each other's
network.

"This is a welcome development for both parties.  It just shows
the desire of both PLDT and AT&T to ensure the best services for
customers at the best prices.  With this new interim agreement,
we have a stable basis for the rates we charge customers," said
Mr. Panlilio.

"The telecommunications business is rapidly changing and all
telecommunications entities faces big challenges.  We plan to
take that into consideration when arriving at mutually agreable
rates," added Mr. Panlilio.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission and the Philippines'
National Telecommunications Commission have also been helping
U.S. and local carriers come up with a reasonable rate scheme to
ensure the viability of these companies and thereby protect
consumers who depend on the telecommunications services of these
companies.

Last year, PLDT also had several agreements with other U.S.
carrier such as Spirit Communications and WCI Worldcom
International regarding termination rates.  PLDT also holds
regular dialogues with these other carriers in order to arrive
at mutually acceptable rates.

CAPETRONIC INTERNATIONAL: Submits 2004 Business Plan  
----------------------------------------------------
Capetronic International (Thailand) PCL disclosed to the Stock
Exchange of Thailand its Business Plan for 2004.

(1) Objective

This business plan is a part of Capetronic International
(Thailand) PCL's restructuring plan.  Its objective is to
declare the tactical business plan of the Company. The complete
business-restructuring plan is under the consideration of and
negotiation with the strategic partner.  

(2) Background

Capetronic International (Thailand) PCL (the Company) is a
listed company in the SET.  The Company business is producing,
distributing, and providing after sales service of computer
monitor which is based in Thailand. The Company also produces
the monitor, LCD monitor and television under the brand of OEM
Customers.

The Company used to have an affiliate to sell the products and
provide after sales service. But the affiliate company went out
of business and the liquidation was completed. The Company has
stopped running business since 2003 due to the lack of demand.

According to this, the SET has taken the Company to the
rehabilitation group since November 15, 2003. Since then, the
Company has not prepared and submitted the restructuring plan to
the SET.   

The new group of shareholders consists of Mrs.Sunisa
Pathompreuk, Ms.Chayapa Wongsawat, Ms.Chinnicha Wongsawat, and
Mr.Yodchanan Wongsawat herein called shareholders group I (Group
I Shareholders).

The Group I Shareholders has an intention to purchase
1,125,283,667 CAPE's Ordinary shares or 80.32 percent of total
paid up capital and 58,135,644 warrants to buy shares or 91.96
percent of total issued warrants.

The said warrants above has the exercise ratio of 1 warrant:
1.074 shares at the exercise price of THB10 per share. The Group
I Shareholders agreed to pay US$7.15 million or THB286 million
for the Company's shares and warrants (Estimated by using the
exchange rate of approximately US$1/THB40).

The Group I Shareholders will make a tender offer to purchase
the shares from the public, mainly the minor shareholders, in
order to comply with the SEC's and SET's regulations.   

However the Group I Shareholders has agreed with a strategic
partner, which included Mr. Wisan Neranartkomol and Mr. Surasit
Tiyavacharapong, herein called shareholder group II (Group II
Shareholders), which will hold the Company's share not to exceed
20 percent of issued and paid up shares.

Upon purchasing the Company's ordinary shares, the ex-
shareholder will settle the debt including both as what appears
in financial statements and contingent liabilities as of
December 31st 2003. The land approximate 66 rai, building and
factory which has an area of 45,000 square meters will be left
with the Company. The said properties will be free from any
obligation.

As such, the Group I Shareholders will use properties to run
further operation. (The detail of agreement is in accordance
with the shares sale and purchase agreement dated December 31,
2003 and the revised one dated May 22, 2004.)      
        
(3) Nature of business

Mr. Surasith Tiyavacharapong, a strategic partner and one of new
shareholder group, has an experience in manufacturing and
distributing bicycle for more than 10 years. At present, he
operates Bangkok Cycle Industrial Company Limited and LA Bicycle
(Thailand) Company Limited by manufacturing bicycle under the
customers' brand names and LA brand name for export and local
distributions respectively. The total production capacity of
both companies is about 130,000 bicycles per month and their
actual production capacity is currently about 95% of the total
production capacity.

Bangkok Cycle Industrial Company Limited and LA Bicycle
(Thailand) Company Limited have policy to expand their
production in the field of manufacturing Go-Cart. The
feasibility study has showed that this project is feasible in
term of technology, marketing and finance. However, both
companies have located on the area of 65 rai and, such area is
almost used up. So, they plan to operate the assembly line of
such product on another place.  

The Company's overall business plan is on consideration and
negotiation so it has to take time to complete. Both Group I and
Group II Shareholders deem that Mr. Surasit Tiyawatcharapong
should be the leader of the Company. During the consideration
and negotiation of business time, Bangkok Cycle Industrial
Company Limited and LA Bicycle (Thailand) Company Limited, on
part of Mr. Surasit Tiyawatcharapong would like to hire the
Company as the Co-Cart manufacturer by a service contract. The
Group I and Group II Shareholders have considered that if the
consideration and negotiation is complete and end-up a new
business, it will not affect the Co-Cart manufacturing.

However, if the new business affects the manufacturing above,
the Company and the new shareholders will consider the overall
business plan again with the highest benefit of the Company and
all shareholders.
        
Therefore, the Co-Cart manufacturing is one way to utilize the
Company's assets as much as possible. The Company will have
income that can partly cover fixed costs. Given, any additional
businesses in the future, the Company's financial performance
will be better.  The Company plans to manufacture the Co-Cart in
August 2004 because it has to take time to transport the machine
and install the assembly line. The hirer will be the one who
invest on machine and installation, which is approximately Bt.
2-3 million.

At present Bangkok Cycle Industrial Company Limited and LA
Bicycle (Thailand) Company Limited has ordered approximately
50,000-60,000 Co-Carts. It is expected that the area to install
the assembly line will be 3,000-4,000 square meters.

At present, both group of shareholders are under drafting of the
MOU.
        
Strengths of the project

(a) Bangkok Cycle Industrial Company Limited and LA Bicycle
(Thailand) Company Limited have products of quality that are
trusted by both local and foreign customers. Both companies,
altogether, have 80 percent of market share in terms of value.

(b) Bangkok Cycle Industrial Company Limited and LA Bicycle
(Thailand) Company Limited have a team of experienced and well-
known management and selling agents in the line bicycle product
both local and abroad that result in the continuous increase of
sales and income.

(c) Manufacturing and selling of bicycle is the business that
has a few competitors in both local and abroad. Especially, in
the country can be considered as no competitor. Entering into
the business has a slim chance, since it requires experience,
technology, and capital.

With experience, trustworthy, reputation of the management team
of Bangkok Cycle Industrial Company Limited and LA Bicycle
(Thailand) Company Limited, and quality, models, modernity,
durability of the product, both groups of shareholders believes
that the manufacturing and sale of Co-Cart will be successful.
This will help the Company to have business and generate
continuous income.
