AMP LIMITED: ANZ Bank Denies Takeover Rumors
--------------------------------------------
ANZ Bank Limited stressed that it is not currently keen on
making a takeover bid for AMP Limited, according to Asia Pulse.

ANZ dismissed speculations that it was considering a takeover
bid for the financial services group, saying the bank is not
interested in making "dilutive acquisitions" for fund managers
at present.

But analysts believe that ANZ was discouraged by AMP's price,
which had become too expensive even for the big banks.

On AMP's current share price, an acquisition would be earnings
dilutive for any of the local big banks, which are trading on
lower price-to-earnings multiples than AMP.

The ANZ is on a price/earnings multiple of about 12, whereas AMP
is at about 18.

Investors have been anticipating AMP's AU$1 billion (US$775.45
million) buyback, which is to be announced on February 17 along
with AMP's full year results.

NORMANS WINES: Former Secretary in Court on Fraud Counts
--------------------------------------------------------
The former Company Secretary of Normans Wines Limited (In
Liquidation) (Normans Wines), Mr. Robert Mark Horlin-Smith today
appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on seven charges
arising from an investigation by the Australian Securities and
Investments Commission (ASIC).

Mr. Horlin-Smith, 46 years, of Erindale in South Australia, was
the Company Secretary of Normans Wines between 18 October 1994
and 24 December 1999.

As a result of an investigation, ASIC alleges that between June
1999 and October 1999, Mr. Horlin-Smith:

- failed to act honestly in the exercise of his powers and the
discharge of the duties of his office with the intention to
deceive or defraud the auditor of Normans Wines;

- as a secretary and employee of Normans Wines, supplied
misleading information to the Company's auditor;

- as a secretary and employee of Normans Wines, supplied
misleading information to the Australian Stock Exchange about
the Company; and

- authorized the making of a statement in a document lodged with
ASIC which was false or misleading.

- The charges are being prosecuted by the Commonwealth Director
of Public Prosecutions.

Mr. Horlin-Smith was required to enter into a bail agreement in
the sum of $1,000.

Mr. Horlin-Smith has been remanded to re-appear in the Adelaide
Magistrates Court on 18 March 2005 for declarations to be filed,
and again on 15 April 2005 to answer charges.

WALTER CONSTRUCTION: Collapse Imperils 1,000 Jobs
-------------------------------------------------
Around 1,000 workers hired by the failed Walter Construction
Group face unemployment after the Company followed its German
parent into liquidation last week, relates The Age.

The construction and mining firm's workforce is now fighting for
entitlements worth an estimated AU$20 million.

Following Walter's collapse, Construction Forestry Mining and
Energy Union (CFMEU) members and subcontractors stopped work at
Walter sites, urging the federal government to guarantee payment
of their claims.

Meanwhile, Leighton Holdings and other major builders are tipped
to acquire Walter's assets.

Two years ago, Leighton tried to buy a portion of Walter's
business at a cheaper price. With Walter's present status,
Leighton companies now have a bigger chance to take on parts of
Walter's businesses.

Walter Construction was forced into voluntary administration
Tuesday last week after its German parent, Walter Bau, filed for
insolvency when it failed to secure a line of credit from its
financiers. Martin Madden and David Winterbottom, from
KordaMentha, were appointed as administrators.

PERTAMINA: Aceh Oil Production Back to Normal
---------------------------------------------
State oil and gas Company Pertamina's oil production in Aceh and
North Sumatra has returned to its normal level after falling by
50% in January, reports Antara News.
    
"Oil production declined due to floods. But now it has returned
to its normal level of above 5,000 bpd," the Company's general
manager for upstream operations (DOH) in Nanggroe Aceh
Darussalam and North Sumatra Ridwan Nyak Baik said on Feb. 3.
     
Under normal conditions, he said, Pertamina's oil output from
the areas could reach 5,100 to 5,200 bpd. The floods hampered
the Company's oil production operations in the Rantau fields as
four of its high-pressure compressor stations (HPCS) were
submerged, he said.
    
The HPCS provides lighting in the Company's housing complex and
to pump oil from the Rantau field to the Pangkalan Brandan
processing unit. "All those facilities were affected because the
HPCS could not be operated. But operations in another site
(Pangkalan Susu) were not disturbed although production there is
small," Mr. Ridwan said.
    
The Company increased its efforts to repair the damage to its
installation and stimulate production in shallow wells (around
400 meters below the earth's surface), in order to maintain
regional operations.
    
"The scenario to stimulate (production) in prospective shallow
zones would also be used as our operational strategy in 2005,"
Mr. Ridwan said.
    
Mr. Ridwan was happy with the success of the oil production
activity in Aceh and North Sumatra considering that oil wells in
the region are old ones that had been operated for more than 80
years.

TOTAL E&P: Bankruptcy Case Could Scare Investors Away
-----------------------------------------------------
The legal battle involving Total E&P Indonesie and its
contractors has just began, and yet it is already sending a bad
sign about Indonesia's investment climate, according to the
Jakarta Post.

On Jan. 14, PT Istana Karang Laut and PT Sanggar Kaltim Jaya
filed a bankruptcy petition in the Jakarta Commercial Court
against the local affiliate of French oil giant Total SA,
accusing the Company of breaching a contract over a project by
failing to pay US$7.2 million in claims.

The Company denies the claim, saying there is no substantial
evidence of such debt and insists they have fulfilled all their
obligations to the contractors.

Indonesian Petroleum Association (IPA) President Chris B. Newton
expressed fears the case would scare away much-needed foreign
investment. He said that investors might find it puzzling that a
large, financially sound Company like Total could be declared
"bankrupt" in Indonesia over relatively small amounts of funds.  

However, the contractors' lawyer, O.C. Kaligis, argued that the
case should not be seen as a threat to foreign investors as all
companies operating in Indonesia must abide by the law, saying
that "this is a simple case of Total owing money that it has to
pay."

ASHIKAGA BANK: Former Execs Face Suit for Window Dressing
---------------------------------------------------------
Rehabilitating Ashikaga Bank has on Friday sued three of its
former presidents and 10 other former executives for losses
allegedly incurred through their illegal practices, Japan Times
reports, citing Kyodo News.

In three separate lawsuits lodged with the Utsunomiya District
Court, the bank is seeking a total of JPY4.6 billion in damages
from the 13 defendants.

The Utsunomiya-based regional bank accused the executives of
making illegal dividend payouts and extended loans that were
deemed irrecoverable.

The bank alleged the defendants had made illegal dividend
payments of JPY1.1 billion to the holders of preferred shares by
window-dressing the bank's financial statements for fiscal 2000.

The bank also said the former executives had extended loans to
Shimoren, a construction materials trading Company in Tochigi
Prefecture which later went bankrupt, and Arakawa Kanko
Kaihatsu, a golf course operator in Saitama Prefecture, despite
knowing the loans would not be repaid.

Ashikaga Bank collapsed in 2001 after its officials mismanaged
and tampered with the bank's accounts. It was discovered that in
its financial statements submitted in June 2001, the bank
underreported future losses on bad loans and declared overly
optimistic earnings forecast.

DAIEI INCORPORATED: Plans to Withdraw from Offshore Operations
--------------------------------------------------------------
Daiei Incorporated plans to pull out from its offshore ventures
in order to focus its management resources on local supermarket
operations, Kyodo News reports.

Under a revival scheme mapped out by the state-backed Industrial
Revitalization Corporation of Japan (IRCJ), the embattled
retailer will shut down 16 stores in China and Hawaii and
concentrate mainly in the greater Tokyo and Osaka areas.  

Daiei has been negotiating with Chinese administrative
authorities for the sale of its 12 outlets in China's Tianjin to
prospective buyer, Wumart Stores Incorporated.

The Company is likewise planning to dispose of four outlets in
Hawaii as they do not contribute significantly to the
performance of the Daiei group.

The IRCJ plans to shut down and divest 53 of Daiei's 263
existing outlets mainly general merchandise stores and open 100
new supermarkets in five years.

FUJITSU LIMITED: Mulls Sale of LCD-Panel Unit
---------------------------------------------
Fujitsu Limited is considering selling its lackluster LCD-panel
business to Sharp Corporation, Reuters reports.

The move would jump-start the Japanese chips-to-computers
conglomerate's exit from the cutthroat competition in the flat-
panel market, which has been adversely affected by plunging
prices and dwindling consumer demand.

A Fujitsu spokesman, however, declined to confirm the reports,
saying the Company is in talks with Sharp but no agreement has
been reached yet.

Unlike Hitachi Limited, Fujitsu has been unable to profit from a
manufacturing-to-consumer business line since it doesn't sell
LCD television sets or plasma T.V. sets. Fujitsu has hinted on
selling a 30.1 percent stake in its 50-50 plasma joint venture
to existing partner, Hitachi, in April.

TOHOKU MISAWA: JCR Downgrades Long-term Debt to BB-
---------------------------------------------------
The Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCR) has downgraded the rating
on the long-term debts of Tohoku Misawa Homes Co., Ltd. from BB+
to BB-.

Rationale:

Revenue of Tohoku Misawa Homes has been declining in the face of
severe business environment with the brand image lowering.
Support from the Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan
has been decided. The debts owed by Tohoku Misawa Homes to the
financial institutions will not be forgiven or discounted unlike
other debts owed by other group companies.

The revitalization plan aims to allocate the management
resources of the group to the housing division. This will reduce
the materials costs for Tohoku Misawa Homes. However, it will
take time to normalize the construction completion time of year.
There is also uncertainty over improvement in the impaired brand
image. The sales will not be increased until fiscal 2006 ending
March 31, 2007. Although it is unlikely that the financial
structure will deteriorate sharply in the future, it will be
weakened than before due to write-downs of the assets in line
with introduction of accounting for impaired fixed assets.

UFJ HOLDINGS: Posts Net Loss of JPY814.1 Bln
--------------------------------------------
In the consolidated financial results for the 9 months ended
December 31, 2004, UFJ Holdings Incorporated posted a gross
operating profit of JPY1,153.9 billion, an ordinary loss of
JPY643.3 billion, and a net loss of JPY385.7 billion.

Gross operating profit decreased by JPY33.3 billion compared
with the same period of the previous year to JPY940.9 billion,
due to a decrease in gains on bonds. The performance of each
business division was steady.

General and administrative expenses declined by JPY23.7 billion
to JPY404.5 billion, largely due to the significant reduction in
employee bonuses.

As a result, business profit before net transfer to general
reserve decreased by JPY9.6 billion to JPY536.3 billion.
Business profit before net transfer to general reserve,
excluding gains on bonds, increased by JPY19.9 billion to
JPY455.5 billion.

The Company posted an ordinary loss of JPY814.1 billion for the
period. The major reasons are as follows.

(1) The Company recognized losses on stocks and other equity
securities of JPY224.2 billion, due to the impairment of certain
borrowers' preferred stocks which UFJ underwrote in the process
of supporting the borrowers' business revitalization.

(2) Credit costs totaling JPY1,022.8 billion were reported
because we needed to make additional reserves in order to
support large borrowers' significant revitalization, and also
because the Company promoted other activities, including loan
sales, to dispose of non-performing assets.

JINRO LTD: Bidders Seek Partners to Make Joint Bid
--------------------------------------------------
Bidders for Jinro Ltd. are on the lookout for a suitable
acquisition partner before a Feb. 14 deadline for submitting a
letter of intent, the Korea Herald reports.

According to industry sources, Lotte Group, Doosan Corp., CJ
Corp., Hite Brewery Co. and Taihan Electric Wire Co. are
searching for the most compatible partners to make a joint bid.

Jinro Ltd., which went under court receivership in 2003, was put
up for sale on Feb. 1. Because of its strong cash flow and
potential to grow into a global brand, it is considered as one
of the biggest takeover deals in Asia.

Industry sources said the competitors are expected to complete
their search by Feb. 10, the end of the official three-day Lunar
New Year celebration.

"We plan to choose our partners before the holiday is over, but
this is not for certain," said a spokesperson of a Company
interested in bidding. "All competing bidders could be fighting
till the very last minute to find the best partners."

After the letters of intent are received, Jinro will select
candidates for due diligence, which is scheduled from Feb. 17 to
March 29. Merril Lynch & Co. is managing the Company sale.

KOREA EXCHANGE: Nets Profit, Reverses Losses in 2004
----------------------------------------------------
Korea Exchange Bank (KEB) said it posted a net profit of
KRW522.1 billion last year, a major turnaround from the KRW213.8
billion loss it sustained in 2003, according to The Korea Times.

The bank attributed the reversal to falls in provisioning costs
to cover possible loan losses, adding that diverse banking
services developed by the Company also contributed to boosting
its earnings.

Operating profit jumped 121% to KRW453.4 billion, and revenue
increased 33.5% to KRW6.5 trillion. Operating income before
provisions rose from KRW673.6 billion in 2003 to KRW1.45
trillion. KEB set aside KRW231.8 billion as its costs to cover
bad loans.

Interest income, meanwhile, increased to KRW3.1 trillion from
KRW2.8 trillion, and commission income went up to KRW677.9
billion from KRW350.9 billion.

KEB's total assets, however, fell to KRW61.3 trillion last year
from KRW62.6 trillion in 2003, while recurring profit stood at
KRW513.9 billion, reversing a KRW219.6 billion loss.

The bank said it aggressively wrote off its bad assets in card
operations, and improving asset quality in its card operations
will make a greater contribution to its earnings this year.

KEB, South Korea's fifth-largest lender, is controlled by U.S.
equity fund Lone Star, which acquired a 51% stake in October
2003.

bank licensed under the Banking and Financial Institutions Act,
1989. RHB Capital holds a 70% equity interest in RHB Bank.

Mr Lim Cheng Yeow was appointed to the Board of RHB Bank on
March 30, 1991 and he retired from the same on Oct. 1, 2004.

2. Purchase Consideration and Basis of Arriving at the Purchase
Consideration

The laptop was purchased by RHB Bank at the cost of RM8,972.26
on Aug. 16, 2001 and the estimated market value as of January
2005 is RM500.00.

The disposal price of RM375.00 was arrived at after taking into
account a discount of 25% from the estimated market value of the
laptop, consistent with the discount normally given for disposal
of fixed assets to a leaving/retiring director.

3. Interests of Directors, Major Shareholders and Persons
Connected with Them

Other than Mr Lim Cheng Yeow, none of the directors, major
shareholders of RHB Capital Group or parties connected with them
have any interest, direct or indirect, in the transaction which
may be regarded as a related party interest.

4. Rationale for the Transaction

The laptop had been used by Mr Lim Cheng Yeow while he was a
Director of RHB Bank and after his retirement, he had requested
to purchase the same. The Disposal was approved in recognition
of the past contributions and services of Mr Lim Cheng Yeow to
RHB Bank.

6. Financial Effects

The Disposal will not have any effect on the substantial
shareholders' shareholding, earnings, net tangible assets or
share capital in RHB Capital.

7. Approvals Required

Based on the consideration of RM375.00, the Disposal does not
require the approval of the shareholders of RHB Capital or RHB
Bank, nor any government authorities.

8. Statement by the Board of Directors of RHB Capital

In view of the rationale as stated in paragraph 5 above, the
Board of Directors of RHB Capital is of the opinion that the
Disposal is not to the detriment of RHB Capital Group.

COLLEGE ASSURANCE: Senator Threatens to Bust Execs
--------------------------------------------------
A senator has warned that he will perform a citizen's arrest on
College Assurance Plans (CAP) officials if the pre-need firm
fails to meet its obligations to plan holders, reports The
Manila Standard.

Opposition Senator Alfredo Lim, a former police general, vowed
to protect plan holders and personally arrest CAP's executives
if the Company will not honor claims of some 800,000
individuals.

Upon the senator's request, the Department of Justice (DoJ) said
it would order the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to
probe into the troubled pre-need firm for possible criminal
liability.

CAP is on the verge of ending its operations after an oversight
committee of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
recommended the Company's closure after discovering the firm
insolvent since September last year.

DoJ also feared CAP may not be able to generate funds to meet
its obligations especially that one of its investors, who is
expected to provide the Company its much-needed capital, is
facing illegal logging charges before the DoJ.

NATIONAL POWER: YNN Intends to Operate Masinloc
-----------------------------------------------
The winning bidder for National Power Corporation's (Napocor)
600-MW Masinloc coal-fired power plant said it intends to run
and keep the employees of the power facility, The Philippine
Star reports.

YNN Pacific Consortium Incorporated made the statement to pacify
several lawmakers who have raised concerns about YNN's
incapability to run the Masinloc plant.

Employees for the Talamo power plant raised their concerns.
Talomo was privatized last year and was turned over recently to
its new owner, Hedcor of the Aboitiz group.

With a US$9 million bond already paid, YNN is set to operate the
Masinloc plant. In fact, the consortium is planning to put up
their office inside the Zambales-based facility, which explains
why it does not have a Manila office.

The YNN Pacific official said plans to run the power plant and
maintain its employees are not even in the contract with the
Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (PSALM).

Under the sale structure for Masinloc, this would be an asset
sale and the winning bidder has no obligation to run the plant
and may remove, dismantle or transfer the asset.

Based on the sale agreement, the owner has flexible employee
arrangements and no obligation placed on investors with regard
to existing plant employees.

YNN Pacific is composed of a group of Filipino (YNN Holdings)
and Australian (Great Pacific Financial Group) investors.

The consortium is organized to enter into different
international and domestic partnerships for the main purpose of
pursuing power sector business opportunities, including the
acquisition, implementation or packaging of profitable power
generation projects anywhere in the Asia-Pacific region,
particularly in the Philippines.

PILIPINO TELEPHONE: Calls for Ban on Sun's Unlimited Calls Promo
----------------------------------------------------------------
Pilipino Telephone Company (Piltel) has urged the National
Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to prohibit rival Sun
Cellular from continuing its "24/7" promotional scheme, reports
The Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Piltel claimed its rehabilitation is under "grave threat and
peril" due to Sun Cellular's 24/7 scheme, which gives
subscribers unlimited intra-network calls and text messaging for
a flat monthly rate of PHP250.

Piltel has accused Sun Cellular of predatory pricing for
offering the unlimited call and text credits. It requested the
NTC to issue a cease and desist order on the Plan and impose
sanctions to Sun's parent, Digital Telecommunications (Digitel),
for violating due process.

In response to Piltel's call, the NTC vowed to review all
telecom wireless and fixed-line pricing schemes to see if major
players were involved in predatory landline pricing at the
expense of smaller operators.

NTC Chairman Ronald Solis said the commission is not against the
lowering of telecom rates to benefit the public but it should
also protect smaller operators against unhealthy competition.

THAI WAH: Issues Explanation for Variance of Profit
---------------------------------------------------
Thai Wah Group Planner Company Limited, as the Plan
Administrator of Thai Wah Public Company Limited (TWC), issued
to the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) the following
significant reasons for the reduction in profit of THB779
million for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the
same period of 2003.

(1) A THB84 million reduction in share of profit of associated
companies in equity accounting method resulting from the
transfer of two associated companies accounted for under the
equity method to long-term available-for-sale investments, since
the plan administrator intends to dispose of those investments
in the future.

(2) Decrease in foreign exchange gains of THB452 million
resulting from a THB69 million gain in the translation of USD
loans as compared to a gain of THB521 million in the same period
in 2003.

(3) Gross profit increased by THB80 million as compared to the
same period in the previous year and this is attributed to the
following major reasons:

(3.1) An increase in gross profit of tapioca flour amounted to
THB106 million. A 29% increase in sales volume increased      
gross profit by THB71 million.  Additionally, the average
selling price strengthened by 6%, although a unit cost of sale
increased by 2% as compared to the same period last year further
improved the gross profit by another THB35 million.

(3.2) The gross profit of an overseas subsidiary Company
producing tapioca flour decreased by THB19 million due to a 42
percent increase in tapioca root price, although the average
selling price increased by 29 percent. The tapioca root is the
subsidiary's primary raw material.

(4) Gross profit of hotel operations is THB44 million higher as
compared to the same period in 2003 due mainly to the increase
in occupancy rate and average room rate.

(5) A THB17 million increase in gain on debt restructuring.

The gain in 2004 amounted to THB86 million as compared to THB69
million in 2003.

(5.1) The gain in 2004 is due to compliance with the condition
of Incentive Debt under the amended and restated debt
restructuring agreement which forms part of the amended business
rehabilitation plan accepted by the Central Bankruptcy Court on
30 June 2003.

(5.2) The gain in 2003 is attributed to THB35 million in
compliance with Thai Accounting Standard No. 34 "Troubled
Debt Restructuring" and THB34 million in compliance with the
condition of Incentive Debt under the amended and restated debt
restructuring agreement, which forms part of the amended
business rehabilitation plan accepted by the Central Bankruptcy
Court on 30 June 2003.

(6) A THB68 million decrease in "gain on sale of investment"
arising from the one-off sale of an investment in a related
Company in 2003 which did not reoccur in the period under
review.

(7) Selling and administrative expenses increased by THB58
million over the same period last year due mainly to an increase
in sale transportation expenses (as a result of higher sales
volume) and an increase in financial advisory expenses of a
subsidiary Company.

(8)A THB26 million increase in a reversal of allowance for loss
on impairment of investment due to the settlement of convertible
loan stock and interest receivable.

(9) A THB44 million decrease in share of gain to minority
interest due to a decrease in share of gain of THB44 million in
2003.

(10) A THB324 million decrease in gain on asset revaluation due
to a decrease in gain on asset revaluation in 2003, which would
be reoccurred in every three years as described in the Company's
accounting policy.

We hope the above information would be beneficial to all
investors.

Very truly yours,
Mr. Kuan Chiet
Thai Wah Public Co., Ltd.
By Thai Wah Group Planner Co., Ltd.
as the Plan Administrator


TONGKAH HARBOUR: Clarifies Khao Hun News Article
------------------------------------------------
The Khao Hun Daily Thai newspaper dated February 4 to 6, 2005,
page 6, has incorrectly reported on Tongkah Harbour Public
Company Limited's (THL) capital increase information that in the
past year, THL drew funds from the existing shareholders three
times and the loan for the gold project has not yet been
approved.

The Company, in a disclosure to the Stock Exchange of Thailand
(SET), reminds all its shareholders, investors, and the SET,
that in the past year (2004), THL allocated 21.9 million shares
to directors and staff under the 2 years Company ESOP scheme in
2003.

Another capital increase of 100 million shares was for private
placement and not for the existing shareholders as stated in the
newspaper report.

The purpose for the private placement was not only for the gold
project but also for other's Company projects.

As for the loan for development of the Gold Project, the Boards
of both EXIM Bank (Thailand) and Bank Thai have already approved
the said loan since 16 December 2004.

Currently, Tungkum Limited's staff undertakes the works of local
infrastructure preparations, including earth works and civil
works. The team is rushing to complete most of the works such as
roads, dams, tailings pond and preparations for plant foundation
before the coming rainy season.

Please be informed accordingly.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Chalermchai Martmuang
The Secretary to the Executive Board of Directors
