GRIBBLES GROUP: Federal Court Questions Founder's Affairs
---------------------------------------------------------
Beleaguered Gribble Group's business was again overshadowed by
the legal affairs of founder and former managing director
Wallace Cameron, according to The Age.
While the pathology group conducted its final annual general
meeting Tuesday, the Federal Court has questioned Mr. Cameron's
conduct as a director relating to a loan he made to the Company
last year without approval from the board.
The Court has set aside a demand made by Shandford Investment, a
private firm owned by Mr. Cameron, for the repayment of AU$1.4
million of an AU$2.85 million loan issued to Gribbles
subsidiary. Shandford has also received an order for the Court
to pay around SU$200,000 in costs.
According to Justice Peter Heerey, Mr. Cameron had intentionally
misled the Gribbles board by not informing them about a
purported loan from Shandford Investments.
The two parties are arranging how the loan will be repaid. It is
expected to be settled along with other debts when Healthscope
takes control of Gribbles before the end of the year.
Westpac, on the other hand, is suing Shanford Investments and
Mr. Cameron for the return of a commercial bill facility valued
at AU$9 million.
Mr. Cameron, having withdrawn his nomination for re-election to
the Gribbles board, has cut all ties with the pathology firm.

JAMES HARDIE: Likely To Face U.S. Suit
--------------------------------------
James Hardie Industries is facing a possible lawsuit for
violating U.S. anti-racketeering laws, The Australian relates.
The Medical Research and Compensation Foundation (MRCF) has been
considering filing a suit against James Hardie in the U.S. under
the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act for
underfunding the foundation.
The MRCF, which was set up by James Hardie to cover its asbestos
liabilities, has recently received from a U.S. law firm a legal
advice which would indicate the foundation has grounds for
action against James Hardie, as well as its directors and
officers under the RICO legislation.
The legal opinion, which is now being considered by MRCF's legal
team, is a crucial element in the foundation's efforts to
establish a solid legal case to sue the embattled building
materials manufacturer.
The opinion came days before the foundation faces a possible
provisional liquidation, with its application due to be heard by
the New South Wales Supreme Court today.

NATIONAL AUSTRALIA: Irish Life Still Eyeing Dublin Arm
------------------------------------------------------
Irish Life & Permanent is still keen on National Australia
Bank's Dublin operation despite NAB's announcement that it wants
to sell its two Irish banks as a package, Reuters reports.
The financial services group has earlier expressed interest in
acquiring National Irish Bank (NIB) only. However, NAB is intent
on selling its Dublin business along with its Belfast-based
Northern Bank.
"The situation hasn't progressed one way or another in the last
couple of weeks," spokesman Ray Gordon said on Monday, referring
to a media report that said Irish Life was considering a bid of
up to GBB600 million (US$1.13 billion) for NIB.
NAB, weathered by a forex scandal, top-level resignations and
earnings downgrades, has in August appointed investment bank
Lazard to advise on options for its British and Irish
operations.
Early this month, Britain's HBOS withdrew plans to purchase the
two Irish banks after failing to agree on a price for the two
operations. But sources said HBOS will reopen negotiations if
NAB drops its asking price.
For competition reasons, major Irish banks, Bank of Ireland and
Allied Irish Banks, are prevented from participating in the
banks' tender.
Britain's fifth-largest bank Llyods TSB was also tipped as a
likely buyer of the two Irish banks, but sources confirmed the
bank was not very intent on making a serious bid.

NATIONAL AUSTRALIA: Appoints New Senior Executives
--------------------------------------------------
National Australia Bank's Chief Executive Officer, John Stewart,
announced a range of executive appointments to accelerate the
transformation of the National and the implementation of its
strategic agenda.
The new appointments are:
Gordon Lefevre, previously General Manager, Personal Financial
Services Australia has been appointed Deputy Group Chief
Financial Officer, and will report to the National's Group Chief
Financial Officer, Michael Ullmer. In his new role, Gordon will
join the Group Executive Committee.
Andrew Thorburn, previously Group Executive, Retail Business at
St George Bank, will join the National to head up the new retail
banking division. He will report to the CEO for Australia,
Ahmed Fahour, and will be a member of the Australian Executive
Committee.
Graeme Willis, who has been acting Group Chief Risk Officer for
most of 2004, is being appointed to the newly created role of
Group General Manager, Regulatory Affairs, overseeing the
National's relationships with regulators across the Group.
Graeme will report to the Group Chief Risk Officer, Mike Hamar.
Gavin Slater, who was previously Group General Manager,
responsible for the implementation of the remedial actions out
of the foreign currency options trading losses, has been
appointed Executive Director, National Australia Group Europe.
Gavin will report to the CEO, Europe, Lynne Peacock. In working
with Lynne to lead the business, he will have a particular focus
on the back office and support areas, including key projects.
Mr. Stewart said the changes were being made to ensure the right
people were in the right positions to help build the new
National and rebuild its reputation with stakeholders.
"The decision to create the role of Group General Manager,
Regulatory Affairs reflects the importance of our relationships
with regulators in every region in which we operate. This is
particularly the case with the range of remedial actions we are
currently undertaking across the Group. While we have
considerably improved relationships with the regulators this
year, it is critical that this continues.
"Over the longer term, the increased compliance and regulatory
environment facing all finance industry organizations means
having strong relationships with regulators in every part of our
business is critical to our success.
"At the end of October, I announced that Lynne Peacock would be
returning to London to take up the position of Chief Executive
Officer, Europe, to focus on transforming our European
businesses. This is clearly a significant and challenging task.
"Gavin has demonstrated exceptional leadership in implementing
complex programs across the Group. I am confident that his
skills and experience will be a great support to Lynne in
implementing the range of initiatives that will be required to
improve the performance of our European operations," he said.
Mr. Stewart welcomed the appointment of Gordon Lefevre as Deputy
Group Chief Financial Officer.
"With 16 years experience in the financial services industry,
gained from working in international banking, retail banking,
mergers and acquisitions, finance and strategy, Gordon is an
excellent appointment.
"Prior to his role with Personal Financial Services, Gordon has
made a significant contribution to the National in senior
finance roles based in Australia, the US and Europe," said Mr
Stewart.
"We are also very excited to have Andrew Thorburn starting with
us in January 2005 to lead our retail banking efforts in
Gordon's place. He joins us from St George Bank to take up the
role of Head of Retail Banking Australia.
"Andrew is an experienced business leader, having previously
held senior roles in personal banking, marketing and sales and
service at the Commonwealth Bank and ASB Bank in New Zealand,"
Mr. Stewart said.

BANK of CHINA: Sees 22% Profit Increase
---------------------------------------
Bank of China (BOC) saw its profit climb 22 percent in the first
10 months of the year, allowing it to cut its bad loans ahead of
an initial public offering (IPO), reports Bloomberg.
BOC President Li Lihui disclosed the bank chalked up a total of
CNY53.55 billion (US$6.5 billion) in operating profits in the
January- October period. The bank's bad loan ratio, on the other
hand, dropped to 4.55 percent from 5.16 percent at the end of
September.
BOC, along with China Construction Bank, is gearing up for an
IPO, in line with the state's plan to compete with offshore-
based Citigroup Inc. and HSBC Holdings Plc.
According to Mr. Li, BOC hopes to meet the requirements set
before them by next year before its planned August 2005
offering.
However, the bank is dependent on the progress of its
preparation, as well as the stock market situation. At present,
the lender is still in talks with a few strategic investors with
the hopes that a decision will be reached in a few months.
BOC's non-performing loans dropped by CNY250 billion in the
current year to CNY96.4 billion at the end of October, shaving
the bad loan ratio from 16.3 percent at the end of 2003.

PRICESMART: Facing Debt Crisis
------------------------------
Leading membership supermarket group, PriceSmart, is in a debt
crisis, China Daily reports. But its managers remain optimistic
that the Company will be able to resolve its problem.
However, experts and insiders believe that PriceSmart's recovery
is bleak due to its unhealthy expansion model and fractured
capital chain.
PriceSmart membership began in 1997 in Beijing then later opened
branches in Beijing, Kunming and Chengdu. But due to diverse
consuming habits the membership operation model taking cash for
membership card and enjoying preferential prices was
unacceptable to a majority of domestic consumers. PriceSmart
then focused on developing its hypermarket brand, N-Mart.
A total of 10 membership stores and more than 30 N-mart
hypermarkets were opened in China, which had a total sales
volume of CNY6 billion (US$722 million) at the end of last year.
The expansion did not only bring profit but also brought heavy
debts.
Commodity suppliers and store furnishing operators who have not
been paid for a long time are now demanding to be paid leading
to the closure of branches in Shenyang, Jilin, Qinhuangdao and
Changsa.
Fu Yu, a manager of the retail store's marketing department
recognized its current debt troubles, saying some CNY200 million
(SU$24.1 million) banking loans must be settled. He also added
that PriceSmart is already in talks with large retailers both
foreign and domestic to aid in the resolution of their dilemma.
No possible partners were named.
Experts, however, doubt the guise of optimism and confidence
exhibited by membership store. PriceSmart is not a foreign
funded Company despite what is popularly believed.
Nuoheng Holding Corporation, a private Company, obtained
authorization from US PriceSmart to use the PriceSmart brand in
China but the PriceSmart China operation differs greatly from
the US firms.
The rapid expansion might be attributed to the Nuoheng's
utilization of the preferential policies before China open's
fully its retailing sector to the outside world wherein
foreigners will enjoy national treatment.
Nuoheng's adopted the principles of high speed, high standards
and low costs based on a large amount of banking loans and
outstanding payments to goods suppliers and store furnishing
operators. Thus it has had a dynamic business growth. But there
is a high possibility that the membership store be acquired or
taken over by seeking co-operation from other retailers.

BANK NEGARA: Court Convicts Businessman for Fraud
-------------------------------------------------
Businessman Rudy Sutupo was convicted for fraud by the South
Jakarta District Court relating to the IDR1.7 trillion Bank
Negara or BNI scandal, according to The Jakarta Post.
The Court sentenced Mr. Sutopo to 15 years in prison and ordered
him to pay a IDR1 billion fine.
The BNI scandal entailed the issuance of approximately $200
million in letters of credit by institutions in Kenya,
Switzerland and the Cook Islands to cover commodity exports from
Jakarta-based companies. A BNI branch in Jakarta paid for the
non-existent export credits.
The ongoing problems of corporate governance levels in the
country's banking system came into focus with the scandal in the
wake of the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis.

KANEBO LIMITED: SESC Begins Probe on Accounting Fiasco
------------------------------------------------------
The Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission has launched
an investigation into recuperating Kanebo Limited over alleged
accounting manipulations by its former management, reports Jiji
Press.
The regulator suspected Kanebo participated in illegal
activities long before it acknowledged there was window dressing
in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002.
Kanebo will be requested by the SESC to voluntarily present
related documents and materials. Depending on the probe's
outcome, the SESC may raid the Company.
The Company revealed in October it had bloated its earnings for
the two business years by padding sales and underreporting
expenses, in an effort to hide and carry over JPY10 billion to
JPY30 billion in losses. Sources said former Vice President
Takashi Miyahara allegedly led the document tampering.
Former President Takashi Hoashi, former managing director in
charge of finance, was believed to have participated in the scam
by approving the manipulations.
Mr. Miyahara and other former executives are now facing a
possible criminal suit by Kanebo's present management.
Kanebo, which is now undergoing restructuring under the auspices
of the state-backed Industrial Revitalization Corporation of
Japan (IRCJ), has recently spun off its mainline cosmetic
division as part of the rehabilitation process.

KOKUSAI KOGYO: Cerebrus to Acquire 65% Stake
--------------------------------------------
U.S. investment fund Cerebrus Group has agreed to purchase a 65-
percent stake in Kokusai Kogyo after the ailing firm slashes its
capital by 100 percent, Kyodo News says, citing the Nihon Keizai
Shimbun.
The daily also revealed Cerebrus' plan to buy some JPY500
billion in loans from the UFJ group and from Kokusai Kogyo's
other creditors for JPY250 billion.
The transactions will enable Cerebrus to acquire the largest
shareholding of the Japanese firm.
Kokusai, which operates a range of businesses including
management of world-class hotels, plunged deep into debt as it
expanded various fields over the years.
But despite mounting debts, the firm was able to post a net
profit of JPY2.9 billion and operating revenue of JPY49 billion
for the current business year ended March 31.
Kokusai Kogyo, set up by late political fixer Kenji Osano in
1940, is not related to aerial survey contractor Kokusai Kogyo
Co., listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's first section.
MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC: Faces Product Ban in South Korea
-----------------------------------------------------
South Korea has imposed a temporary product ban on the import
and sale of Matsushita Electric Industrial Company Limited's
plasma display panels, Kyodo News says.
The move came following a request by South Korea's LG
Electronics Inc. for authorities to probe Panasonic Korea
Limited, Matsushita's sales arm in South Korea, over alleged
patent violations.
Matsushita, on the other hand, had earlier asked a Tokyo Court
to halt sales in Japan of the South Korean Company's plasma
display panels also because of alleged patent violations.
On Monday, the Korean Trade Commission said in a statement that
it will ban both the import and sale of plasma display panels
made by Matsushita until it concludes the ongoing investigation.

SHOWA DENKO: R&I Affirms BB+/BB on L-T Debts
--------------------------------------------
Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I), has affirmed the
following ratings of Showa Denko K.K.
Senior Long-term Credit Rating
R&I RATING: BB+ (Affirmed)
Long-term Bonds (1 Series)
R&I RATING: BB (Affirmed)
RATIONALE:
Showa Denko is the world's leading producer and vender of hard
disks (HD). By focusing to its competitive business as well as
by using its technology and know-how cultivated through its
organic, non-organic and aluminum businesses, Showa Denko is
seeking for a change from a "diversified chemical Company" to a
"focused, individualized chemical Company".
Along with its business restructuring based on its mid-term
management plan, improvement in business environment in
petrochemicals and HDs helped to heighten its profitability and
there has been a reduction of debts. However, the financial
composition remains weak.
For the time being, Showa Denko is planning for a continuous
strategic investment and therefore R&I considers that further
reduction in debts will remain small. The profit contribution of
business with high risks, e.g. HDs is increasing, and therefore,
in order to keep, or, heighten the Company's creditworthiness,
Showa Denko must improve its financial composition further.
R&I affirmed BB+ for Showa Denko's Senior Long-term Credit
Rating and changed the rating prospect from negative to stable,
by evaluating favorably the effect from the business
restructuring based on its mid-term management plan. The rating
of Long-term bond is affirmed at BB, a notch lower than that of
Senior Long-term Credit Rating.
An R&I Senior Long-term Credit Rating is an opinion regarding an
issuer's overall capacity to pay its entire financial
obligations, without taking into account the degree of recovery
of specific obligations.
A Senior Long-term Credit Rating will be assigned to all
issuers. Ratings for individual issues may differ from the
Senior Long-term Credit Rating depending on the terms and
conditions of the issue.

ASIANA AIRLINES: Asks for Fuel Surcharge Hike
---------------------------------------------
Amid rising fuel costs, Korean carrier Asiana Airlines has
petitioned the Philippines' Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) for a
$1-increase in fuel surcharge from the recently approved $7
rate, reports ABS-CBN Interactive.
Once the CAB approves the petition, an $8-fuel surcharge will be
reflected in the tickets of Asiana Airlines passengers. The CAB
has scheduled a public hearing on the Korean airlines' petition
on December 9.
The airline, which has been operating in the Philippines for the
past 10 years, will also be allowed to increase fight
frequencies to Clark Airport, according to Transportation
Secretary Leandro Mendoza.
"We will give Asiana additional rights to fly to Clark. We plan
to give the Korean government additional frequency entitlements.
We expect that they will also give us additional entitlements.
Communications between Korea and the Philippines is ongoing," he
said.
At present, Asiana mounts only charter flights to Clark, where
it flies to five times weekly from Inchon, South Korea. The
airline has to get the nod of the CAB before regular passenger
flights can be launched.

post a record high target for net income in 2006 to conclude its
108 years of operation, as Chohung Bank is to be merged with

* Credit Card Firms Drastically Cuts Losses in Q3
-------------------------------------------------
Credit card firms in South Korea have significantly trimmed
their losses in the third quarter of the current fiscal year,

payments, as well as major efforts to write off bad assets.

Card Co., LG Card Co. and four other credit card firms tallied a
combined KRW81.5 billion (US$77.8 million) in losses in the

BAYAN TELECOMMUNICATIONS: Creditors Want Debt Fixed at US$471Mln
----------------------------------------------------------------
Avenue Asia Capital Group, which represents the creditors of
Bayan Telecommunications, Inc. (Bayantel), wants the firm's
debts fixed at US$471 million, instead of the US$325 million set
by a Pasig rehabilitation Court, the Business World reports.
Avenue also pushed for the 12-year repayment for the debt, which
could be stretched to 19 years with refinancing option at year
14.
The Court recently ruled that the level of sustainable debt of
the rehabilitation plan, as amended, should be reduced to US$325
million for a period of 19 years.
But creditors claimed the Pasig Court based its ruling on a
proposal by Bayantel itself, believing that the firm was "in the
best position to ascertain the level of sustainable debt in
light of its knowledge of its own actual operations, and that
maintaining an unrealistic level of debt will defeat, rather
than promote and achieve, the very purpose" of rehabilitation.
But Avenue Asia alleged that Bayantel management "deliberately
manipulated [cash flow] projections in an attempt to
artificially reduce the amount of sustainable debt it can
service."
Avenue Asia also questioned the Court's decision to write off
over $34 million in penalties and interests.

MANILA ELECTRIC: May Sign Supply Deal With Napocor
--------------------------------------------------
The Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) may sign a transition supply
contract with the National Power Corporation (Napocor), which
would make Napocor's Luzon generation assets more attractive to
potential investors, the Inquirer News Service reports, citing
Energy Secretary Vincent Perez.
"The Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 requires
Napocor to submit a transition supply contract duly negotiated
with retailers like Meralco," Mr. Perez said.
The Power Reform Act sets certain conditions for the
implementation of retail competition and open access, including
the sale of 70 percent of capacity of Napocor plants in Luzon
and the Visayas, and operation of a wholesale electricity spot
market.
Privatized so far are five Napocor hydroelectric facilities
namely the 3.5-megawatt plant in Davao province, a 1.6- megawatt
plant in Bukidnon, a 1.8- megawatt plant in Camarines Sur, a
400-kilowatt plant in the Bicol region, and a 1.2- megawatt
plant in Bohol.

PICOP RESOURCES: Clarifies "Picop Shutdown Deferred" Report
-----------------------------------------------------------
This is in reference to the news article entitled "Picop
Resource shutdown deferred" published in the November 27, 2004
issue of Today (Internet Edition).
The article reported that "According to Lola Christine Badajos,
public relations officer of Picop, the scheduled shutdown of the
pulp firm by the end of this month was held in abeyance for 15
days after Picop and National Power Corp. (Napocor) officials
struck a deal on the firm's power debts with the state-owned
power firm. The conflict between Picop, Bibahilita and other
landowners of the titled lands near Picop's more than 186,000-
hectare logging concessions have already caused deaths, grave
threats and other forms of violence to the people. In their news
release, Picop said the problem worsened when former environment
secretary Elisea Gozun directed the devolution of all inventory,
documentation and monitoring functions of the DENR to a group of
log traders and tree farmers that it alleged were of `dubious'
membership. The press release also alleged that some government
employees tasked with safeguarding the forest were involved in
the illegal logging and smuggling of trees planted by the
Company. Tree farmers and titled landowners have denied
Picop's accusations, saying that it was the Company that was
prompting illegal logging because of alleged nonpayment of
forest charges to the government. Mamerto Alciso Jr., legal
counsel of Bibahilita, told Today in an interview that it is
Picop which is violating its Timber License Agreement with the
government because it was allegedly selling its raw logs outside
its processing firm."
Picop Resources, Inc. (PCP), in its letter to the Philippine
Stock Exchange dated November 30, 2004, provided the following
information:
1. The scheduled shutdown scheduled for December 01, 2004 was
postponed for 15 days due to progress made on power issues under
discussion with NPC and the strong reaction of the City of
Bislig and Province of Surigao del Sur against the shutdown.
2. There is no conflict between PICOP and Bibahilita and other
landowners as far as the PICOP areas are concerned. A conflict
exists only for entities with their respective rights. Anybody
who enters the PICOP areas is clearly trespassing and anybody
who cuts PICOP trees are illegally poaching and stealing.

BANGKOK TRANSIT: To Pursue Debt Restructuring Next Year
-------------------------------------------------------
Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTSC) hopes to sign a debt
restructuring scheme with creditors next year ahead of a planned
listing on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), according to
Business Day.
BTSC, which is restructuring THB39 billion in total debts, have
already obtained approval from its shareholders and now seeking
support from its creditors.
The Company will then submit the plan to the Bank of Thailand's
central debt restructuring committee for consideration before an
official agreement with the creditors is sealed.
Originally, BTSC was expected to sign a debt restructuring
agreement with its lenders this year but was unable to formulate
a suitable program.
After the debt restructuring, which is set for completion next
year, BTSC is expected to swing to a net profit, paving the way
for its listing on the Stock Exchange of Thailand.
BTSC's major creditors are German development bank KFW (KFW.YY),
Siam Commercial Bank PCL (SCB.TH) and International Finance
Corp., the investment arm of the World Bank.
BTSC's major shareholders include Tanayong PCL (TYONG.TH), which
owns 28 percent, and construction contractor Italian-Thai
Development PCL (ITD.TH), which owns 10-percent of BTS.
