AUSTRALIAN PHARMACEUTICAL: To Shut Down Sydney Operations
---------------------------------------------------------
Australian Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (API) will
terminate operations of its troubled manufacturing facility in
Sydney, Asia Pulse says.

The decision is part of the Company's plan to divest under-
performing businesses as it focuses on its new retail-led
strategy.

Due to hefty losses from its Sydney plant, API recorded a 5.3-
percent drop in first-half net profit to AU$11.9 million (US$9.1
million).

API group leader Jeff Sher confirmed the Sydney plant would be
closed in April 2005, with the loss of another 82 jobs on top of
about 50 redundancies.

The manufacturing would then be shifted to API's two factories
in Auckland, New Zealand.

The move to close the Kingsgrove plant was part of API's new
retail-led strategy, which began in September with the AU$112.4
million acquisition of health and beauty retailer New Price
Retail-owner of the Priceline and Price Attack stores.

The projected earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) trading loss for Kingsgrove in the second
half until its closure in April 2005 was AU$3 million, compared
to AU$7.9 million in the first half.

ION LIMITED: Calls in Administrators
------------------------------------
Stricken auto parts producer Ion Limited fell into
administration Monday after its five key bankers refused to come
to its aid, according to The Australian.

The Company called in administrators after losing the support of
its main creditors, mainly due to massive cost blowouts and
delays in the Company's expansion program in Australia and the
U.S.

Ion's shares were suspended from trading after the Company's
board called in McGrath + Nicol on Monday night.

Only six weeks ago, Ion was convinced its dismal share market
performance would recover. The Board believed in the long-term
prospects of the Company at that time.

The news regarding Ion's administration came as a blow to one of
its major creditors, National Australia Bank, which had an
AU$135-million exposure to the Company.

It is believed that the banks became impatient after Ion
recently warned the cost of building a wheel factory in
Kentucky, two engine component plants in Australia and expanding
its Albury transmission facility would rise 15 percent to more
than AU$400 million.

However, one of the major issues that triggered the banks' anger
was the fact that Ion continued to pay dividends to shareholder
as late as October despite its financial woes.

Ion also announced the sale of its fuel transport business,
Cootes, would not materialize.  After acquiring Cootes for AU$72
million in late 2000, Ion fanned market speculation it could get
up to AU$140 million for the business, noting the sale would
have made "a substantial profit to book value". The business is
valued at AU$99 million.

Ion's administrators are due to hold their first creditors'
meeting in Melbourne on Monday.

JAMES HARDIE: Could Reach Asbestos Deal with Unions Soon
--------------------------------------------------------
Embattled building products manufacturer James Hardie Industries
N.V. and unions near an AU$2 billion (US$1.5 billion) agreement
to honor asbestos-related claims, Reuters reports, citing The
Australian newspaper.

According to the newspaper, both parties have approved a basic
structure of an AU$2 billion settlement to fund asbestos victims
over 50 years or more, after James Hardie's compensation fund
had revealed a massive funding shortfall.

James Hardie reportedly agreed to infuse AU$200 million into a
"buffer" fund to meet claims if Hardie fails to make a profit
for two to three years. Unions have also agreed to a cap on how
much of Hardie's annual cash flow would fill the compensation-
payout fund.

Hardie set up the Medical Research and Compensation Foundation
(MRCF) in 2001 to handle its asbestos liabilities, with AU$293
million in funding.

However, a government inquiry earlier this year found the MRCF
had been underfunded by up to AU$1.9 billion. The inquiry also
said Hardie broke the law by deliberately misleading the public
and investors about its compensation funding.

ONEWORLD SEMINARS: ASIC Acts Against Promoter of Wealth Seminars
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission has
obtained declarations in the Supreme Court of Queensland against
Mr. Jack Weavers and his Company, Oneworld Seminars Pty Ltd, the
promoters of a wealth creation business based on the Gold Coast.

The Court made declarations that in promoting the seminars and
associated investment schemes, Mr. Weavers, formerly known as
Hamid Alenaddaf, had provided financial advice without holding
an Australian Financial Services license, and had operated an
illegal managed investment scheme.

The Court also declared that Mr. Weavers had engaged in
misleading and deceptive conduct by publishing material on the
Oneworld Seminars website, which stated that his investment
scheme complied with the law. The declarations follow orders,
obtained by consent on 19 October 2004, which restrained Mr.
Weavers from certain conduct relating to the promotion and
operation of the seminars.

'ASIC will act against any promoters of wealth creation seminars
that provide financial advice without a license, or illegally
operate investment schemes', ASIC Executive Director of
Enforcement, Ms. Jan Redfern said.

'We urge consumers to make independent checks before accepting
investment advice, especially if the promoters make statements
that their products and services comply with the law. You can
visit the ASIC website to quickly check whether a person is
licensed at www.asic.gov.au , Ms. Redfern said.

Background

Mr. Weavers, controlled an extensive nation-wide wealth creation
business, involving the promotion and sale of financial seminars
for members of the public that run for up to three days. Topics
covered include moneymaking strategies in areas such as share
trading, foreign currency trading and the financing of luxury
cars.

The seminars are held in various locations throughout Australia,
including the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Cairns and Perth.

For a fee, ongoing guidance and networking opportunities were
then provided in the form of a Graduate Program and a Mentoring
Program. Completion of the Programs allowed entry into certain
investment clubs and joint ventures organized by Mr. Weavers, as
well as entry to the Oneworld Seminars web site.

ASIC commenced an investigation into the seminar program, as
well as various investment clubs established by Mr. Weavers,
after receiving complaints from people who had attended the
seminars and members of the public.

DAIEI INCORPORATED: IRCJ Demands Closure of 53 Stores
-----------------------------------------------------
The state-backed Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan
(IRCJ) calls for the closure of Daiei Incorporated's 53 outlets
and debt-forgiveness of JPY410 billion (US$3.99 billion) by the
retailer's main creditor banks, Reuters reports.

A plan designed by the IRCJ requires the closure of 53 of
Daiei's 263 stores, with a possible loss of more than 2,000
jobs.

Sources said that the state turnaround body has shelved plans to
let the ailing retailer focus on the food business. Instead,
IRCJ has decided to let Daiei remain a general merchandise
supermarket that also sells clothes and household goods.

Daiei is also likely to retain its credit card operations and
supermarket chain Maruetsu Incorporated. However, other non-core
holdings such as its stake restaurant Volks Incorporated will be
divested.

Daiei, which in October reported a 49-percent plunge in first-
half profits, had been unable to rebuild itself despite the
closing of nearly half of its stores since 2001.

The IRCJ announced that more than 10 groups of foreign and
domestic investors are keen on supporting Daiei's
rehabilitation.

Among the leading candidates are Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Aeon
Company and Ito-Yokado.

-------------------------------------------------------
Two of Mitsubishi Fuso Truck & Bus Corporation's lawyers who

improve the impartiality and objectivity on the investigation.

The Company said it will release the investigation results next
March, far later than the initially planned year-end.

Mitsubishi Fuso, mainly owned by DaimlerChrysler AG and
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, has recalled a total of 168,000
vehicles in March and April this year due to a defect in its
previous wheel hub model.

SEIBU RAILWAY: To Prepare Kokudo's Financial Reports
----------------------------------------------------
The Seibu Railway Co. group will prepare consolidated financial
reports of its core Company, the unlisted Kokudo Corporation,
for the past five years in a bid to provide transparency on
complicated equity and business relations within the group, says
Japan Today.

The Seibu group reform committee, which was established after
stock exchanges opted to delist the scandal-hit railway Company
on Dec. 17, came up with the plan following the Company's
admission in October that it had tampered shares-ownership
documents.

Seibu Railway is also under investigation by the Tokyo Stock
Exchange over an alleged insider trading. The bourse has begun
probing the "erratic" movement that the railway Company showed
in September.

Seibu Railway has been embroiled in a string of scandals
following its revelation that it had underreported the
shareholding ratio of stakes held by major investors, including
Kokudo Corporation, a privately held firm that effectively
controls the Seibu Railway group.

South Korea's Kookmin Bank said it would sell subordinated bonds
worth KRW700 billion (US$658M), but did not elaborate where the
proceeds will be used, reports Asia Pulse

The bonds, which carry a coupon rate of 4.20 percent, will
mature in 5.5 years. The minimum subscription amount is KRW10
million. The sale is expected to be completed on Dec. 27.

LG CARD: Creditors Agree to KRW1.2 Trillion Bailout
---------------------------------------------------
Korea Development Bank (KDB) said creditors have agreed to help
LG Card Co. continue its reemergence from bankruptcy by
injecting financial aid of KRW1.2 trillion (US$1.2 billion),
relates Asia Pulse.

LG Card's losses plunged from KRW270 million last year to
KRW46.8 billion after a series of debt-equity swaps early this
year, although it turned a profit for the third succeeding month
in November.

As a result, creditors, who now own 99.3 per cent of LG Card,
want the shares converted into equity.

To do this, LG Card needs new capital and high capital write-
down to avoid delisting. In addition, KDB Governor Yoo Ji-Chang
said creditors have been in talks to discuss the injection of
capital, in a bid to keep the Company afloat.

But Mr. Yoo also stated that if they fail to reach a decision on
the additional aid by the end of the year, LG Card will be
delisted and credit ratings will fall.

ABS-CBN BROADCASTING: S&P Withdraws "B+/Stable/B" Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has withdrawn its
'B+/Stable/B' corporate credit rating on ABS-CBN Broadcasting
Corporation at the Company's request.

ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. is a leading television broadcasting
Company in the Philippines. The Company's corporate credit
rating reflected its strong market position in the industry,
good growth potential in the international program exporting
market, and moderate financial profile after extending its debt
maturity through a syndicated loan.

The Company's credit profile was partly weakened by the
distressed financial profile of Benpres, its parent, and
intensifying competition.

COLLEGE ASSURANCE: SEC Orders Submission of Clean Land Titles
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will not approve
College Assurance Plan's (CAP) application to increase its
capital stock if the firm does not submit unencumbered titles
for the property that businessman Romeo Roxas wants to transfer
to the pre-need firm, the Business World reports.

CAP wants to increase its capital stock to PhP8 billion from
PhP330 million to accommodate the investment of Mr. Roxas.

Mr. Roxas wants to put a 3,000-hectare property in Aurora, which
is valued at PhP6 billion in CAP's trust fund. In exchange for
the property, he will get one of the 11 board seats in the
Company.

"Until they submit a clean title, the application cannot be
acted on. There is no basis to approve it. We can't approve the
request if there are claims for the property which CAP wants to
put in," a SEC source said.

Some parcels of land in Mr. Roxas's property, however, are
encumbered as these are allocated for land reform.

CAP continues to operate to service school tuition of plan
holders. The Company, however, is no longer authorized to sell
additional securities, since its dealer's license, which it
needs to sell plans, expired on September 30. The Company also
already used up its authority to sell PhP5 billion worth of
plans.

MANILA ELECTRIC: Reviewing Anew Refund Mode for Industry
--------------------------------------------------------
Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) is evaluating the feasibility of
servicing the fourth phase of refund for its large industrial
and commercial clients through the use of debt instruments other
than the refund notes it had proposed, according to the Business
World.

Meralco refund management task force project manager Rosario
Torres declined to say what kind of debt instruments Meralco is
evaluating, saying only financial institutions have submitted
several proposals, which the distribution utility is now
studying. She said the instrument will still be liquid and will
still be non-interest bearing.

Ms. Torres added that the possible change in the refund scheme
for the large customers would not affect the timetable of the
firm for servicing the refund.

CHINA AVIATION(S): Chairman Regrets Oil Trading Fiasco
------------------------------------------------------
China Aviation Oil Singapore Corp (CAO) chairman Jia Changbin  
is regretful about the Company's US$550-million oil derivatives
trading loss, Channel News Asia says.

In order to reassure the Singapore Stock Exchange and its
investors, Mr. Jia added that its parent Company China Aviation
Oil Holdings (CAOH) fully supports its restructuring plans.

Mr. Jia, who is also CAOH's president, met with SGX chief
executive Hsieh Fu Hua and Yeo Lian Sim, head of risk
management, last Tuesday.

The Singapore-listed jet fuel supplier is under investigation by
the Commercial Affairs Department, SGX and the Monetary
Authority of Singapore for the oil-trading debacle. Aside from
the investigation, CAO may face fine for non-disclosure.


CHINA AVIATION(S)  Scandal Drives Shake-up
------------------------------------------
The Chinese government is contemplating restructuring state-
owned China Aviation Oil Holding Company (CAOH) after its
subsidiary, China Aviation Oil Singapore (CAO), became embroiled
in a scandal, The Standard reports.

A possible restructuring could lead to the demotion or revamp of
several top executive positions in the Company, as well as the
sale of its additional shares in the Company to its competitors
Sinopec or PetroChina. The restructuring could also mean the
closure of its Singapore affiliate CAO.

The overhaul will depend on the results on the investigations by
Singapore's white-collar investigator Commercial Affairs
Department and by Beijing's State-owned Assets Supervision and
Administration Commission (Sasac).

Sasac is determined to find out whether any executives of CAOH
knew or approved of the oil futures trading that cost the
Singapore arm some US$550 million. Upon completion of the probe,
Beijing will make decision on whether to bailout the Company
directly with government funds or sell part of its 60% stake in
the parent, to its existing shareholders like PetroChina and
Sinopec.

The oil scam is most likely to set the tone for increased effort
by Beijing officials to make transactions of state-owned firms
more obvious and to tighten control over the relationship
between unlisted state-owned companies and their listed
affiliates.

Beijing officials have said that the CAO incident is an isolated
event. Sasac official stated that CAO not only traded heavily in
a market it didn't fully understand but also because its parent
dreamed of becoming a bigger player in the oil business than its
current role of middleman between refiners and airlines.

CAO began as a jet fuel importer, which later increased its
scope to importing other oil products and making infrastructure
investments. Most recently, it planned to buy a 20.6 stake in
Singapore Refining Company.

Once issues are resolved, it is likely that the government will
sell its CAOH shares to fund the restructuring of CAO, but it
will retain possibly a minimum of 51% stake in CAOH. It may also
be possible that the state will sell its shares in the firm to
outside investors.



CHINA AVIATION: CEO Arrested Over SG$550Mln Debacle
---------------------------------------------------
Suspended chief executive of China Aviation Oil (CAO), Chen Jui
Lin, was arrested upon his return to Singapore due to his
involvement in the financial loss of SG$550 million (HK$4.29
billion) after trading oil derivatives in Singapore's worst
financial scandal since Barings Bank collapsed in 1995, The
Independent relates.

Mr. Chen, who returned to Singapore from China last Wednesday
morning, was later released on bail.

CAO, which sought Court protection from creditors last week, is
under the parent Company China Aviation Oil Holding, owned by
the Chinese government who had near monopoly on the export of
jet fuel to mainland.

CAO repeatedly bet on oil price that would fall from SG$50 a
barrel. When the bet fell flat, its parent Company covered the
growing losses by selling 15% of its 75% stake in CAO to Temasek
Holdings SG$120 million, without disclosing any problems.

CAO will be facing penalties for not disclosing their losses
until November 30. In an affidavit filed by Mr. Chen, its state-
owned parent was aware of its losses 10 days before the sale
without informing its buyers.

Just like other CAO shareholder's whose shares are now deemed
worthless, Temasek had no knowledge about its financial loss on
October 20.

Singapore Stock Exchange released a statement saying that China
Aviation Oil Holdings president and CAO chairman, Jia Changbin
met with SGX's management and regulation group. Mr. Jia conveyed
their regret and its Company support on its restructuring
proposal.

Its restructuring proposal centers on CAO's bid to fend off
creditors who bankrolled the speculative gambles, which became
untenable when oil prices hit record highs in October. CAO has
already applied for protection from its creditors and it has
also requested for a six-week extension to file its
restructuring plan.

The High Court is reportedly due to hear the application on
Friday.
