ARTBEVY PTY: Members Resolve to Wind Up Company
-----------------------------------------------
Notice is hereby given that Artbevy Pty Ltd A.C.N. 089 404 259
on January 13, 2005 duly resolved by special resolution that it
be wound up voluntarily, and that the creditors of the Company
resolved by ordinary resolution that Mr. John William Cunningham
and Mr. John Richard Park of Ramsay Clout, Level 1, 37 The
Esplanade, Maroochydore, be and are appointed Joint and Several
Liquidators for the purpose of such winding up.

Dated this 13th day of January 2005

AUSTRALIAN GAS: To Return AU$515-Mln Capital to Shareholders
------------------------------------------------------------
The Australian Gas Light Company (AGL) on Thursday released
details of an AU$515 million return of capital to Shareholders,
which would see Shareholders receive 80 cents per share. The
median number of shares owned by an AGL retail investor is 800,
which would translate into an average cash return of around
AU$640.

This capital management program contains three elements:

(1) A special dividend of 30 cents per share franked to 90 per
cent (AU$137 million)

(2) A proposed capital return of 50c per share (AU$228 million)

(3) A AU$150 million on-market share buy-back

AGL Chairman Mark Johnson said, "AGL has been able to undertake
a capital management program due to the strength of its
financial position. AGL's balance sheet was enhanced by the sale
in late December 2004 of AGL's 66 per cent interest in NGC
Holdings Limited (New Zealand).

"This capital management program represents a tax effective
result for Shareholders whilst still enabling the company to
pursue growth opportunities.

"In the Board's view, the combination of the special dividend,
capital return and on-market buy-back is the simplest and
fairest way to return excess capital to AGL Shareholders", Mr.
Johnson concluded.

Both the special dividend and the interim ordinary dividend are
payable on March 24, 2005 with shares trading ex-dividend from
March 7, 2005.

An Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting is planned for April 6,
2005 at which a resolution will be put to Shareholders to
approve the 50 cents per share capital return. If approved, the
capital return will be paid to Shareholders in late April 2005.

The Australian Taxation Office has confirmed the terms of a
draft Class Ruling on the 50 cents per share capital return. The
Ruling provides that no part of the 50 cents per share returned
to Shareholders will be deemed to be a taxable dividend.
Instead, it would be treated as a reduction of each
Shareholder's cost base of their shares in AGL. However,
Shareholders should consult their own taxation adviser on these
matters.

AGL expects to commence the on-market share buy-back after
payment of the proposed capital return, if approved by
Shareholders.

Further general information will be contained in the Notice of
Extraordinary General Meeting, which will be sent shortly to all
Shareholders.

AUSTRALIAN GAS: Books Steady Result in Competitive Environment
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Australian Gas Light Company (AGL) on Thursday announced a
steady underlying profit result for the six months to 31
December 2004, an increase in the interim dividend, as well as
releasing details of an AU$515 million capital management
program.

Over the six-month period underlying net profit, excluding
significant items and outside equity interests, remained steady,
as compared to the previous corresponding period, at AU$226.6
million.

Reported profit attributable to Shareholders rose 331.6 per cent
to AU$887.8 million impacted by net profit of AU$587.5 million
from the sale of AGL's 66.05 interest in NGC Holdings Limited in
New Zealand.

The decision to enter into tax consolidation, effective from 1
July 2003, favorably affected the reported result through a one-
off net accounting benefit of AU$64.8 million. Tax consolidation
will simplify tax management of AGL's intra group transactions
and improve the ability to distribute franking credits to
Shareholders.

AGL Shareholders will receive an interim ordinary dividend of 31
cents per share franked to 90.3 per cent, up 6.9 per cent,
compared to 29 cents per share franked to 75.9 per cent in the
prior corresponding period.

In addition, as a result of the capital management program,
Shareholders will receive a special dividend of 30 cents per
share, franked to 90%. The other elements of the capital
management program are a proposed 50 cents per share return of
capital to Shareholders and a AU$150 million on-market share
buy-back (see separate media statement for full details).

AGL Chairman Mark Johnson said, "AGL's underlying results were
achieved in an environment of increased competition in retail
markets and a warmer winter than experienced in the previous
corresponding period.

"AGL's balance sheet was strengthened by the sale of the
company's stake in NGC, allowing it to implement the capital
management program announced (Thursday)."

AGL Managing Director Greg Martin said, "AGL remains on track to
achieve growth in underlying net profit and earnings per share
for the full year of 5-7 per cent.

"AGL continues to build a more integrated energy company. The
company is committed to a portfolio of power generation assets
supported by a flexible and complementary long-term wholesale
gas portfolio. The potential increased supply of gas from coal
seam methane, additional new sources of gas from Northern
Australia and PNG, as well as energy from renewable sources,
will all play an important role in shaping AGL's future.

"AGL also continues to develop its strong retail market
position. Maintaining market share and margins in highly
competitive retail energy markets, together with superior
customer service, are central to AGL's growth strategy. Managing
wholesale electricity and gas costs is also important to the
financial performance of our retail business", Mr Martin said.

These components of AGL's business are complemented by the
strong cash flow from the gas and electricity networks and the
infrastructure management expertise of Agility.

"Recent organizational changes will help drive improved business
performance. They position the company to be the most efficient
and effective Australian energy company and help us achieve
growth through sound investments", Mr. Martin concluded.

AUSTRALIAN GAS: APC Calls for Tenders for PNG Pipeline FEED
-----------------------------------------------------------
The AGL-Petronas Consortium (APC) comprising The Australian Gas
Light Company (AGL) and Petronas Australia Pty Ltd, announced
the consortium is calling for tenders for the Front End
Engineering and Design (FEED) phase of the Australian component
of the Papua New Guinea to Queensland natural gas pipeline.

Speaking on behalf of the consortium AGL Managing Director Greg
Martin said, "This call for tenders reflects APC's confidence
with the level of commitment from the ExxonMobil led PNG Gas
Project participants to successfully implement the gas project.

"This project will be a significant development for both PNG and
Australia and highlights APC's optimism that Eastern Australian
gas markets will develop in a timely manner to enable the APC
consortium, in conjunction with the PNG Gas Project
participants, to reach financial close on the pipeline in 2006.

"The PNG pipeline project will also provide significant
strategic value to AGL by introducing new gas supplies from
Northern Australia, enabling AGL to increase its participation
in the downstream energy sector in markets supplied by the PNG
pipeline. It also will provide an opportunity for a major new
revenue source for AGL's infrastructure management subsidiary
Agility", Mr. Martin said.

APC will call for tenders in March 2005 for a AUD $25 million
FEED Program which will see work undertaken on engineering
design, route selection, regulatory and financial viability
assessments and environmental and native title clearance
processes. The PNG pipeline project involves the development of
a natural gas pipeline linking gas from the PNG Highlands to
East Coast markets in Australia. The PNG Gas Project
participants are targeting initial gas deliveries to customers
from late 2008.

"A final investment decision will be undertaken at the
completion of the FEED program, subject to the PNG Gas Project
participants securing sufficient gas sales agreements to enable
the project to proceed and APC concluding corresponding gas
transportation arrangements with the PNG Gas Project
participants," Mr. Martin concluded.

APC was selected as the preferred developer for the Australian
component of the pipeline in April 1998 following an
international competitive tender. In October 2004, APC and the
PNG Gas Project participants executed a binding letter of intent
that provides APC with the responsibility for designing, owning
and operating the pipeline, as well as securing all project
approvals in Australia.

The PNG Gas Project participants are ExxonMobil subsidiaries
39.4 per cent (Esso Highlands Limited as project operator), Oil
Search 54.2 per cent, MRDC (PNG Company representing landowner
interests) 3.0 per cent and Nippon Oil Exploration Limited 3.4
percent.

NATIONAL AUSTRALIA: Reviewing APRA's Discussion Paper on IFRS
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) on
Thursday released a discussion paper outlining their proposed
approach to fair value and other issues arising from the
adoption of Australian equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards.

APRA's proposals have potential impacts for the regulatory
capital positions of all Australian Financial institutions. The
National Australia Bank (the National) will be progressively
adopting the new financial reporting standards from October 1,
2005. Once finalized APRA's intention is that any new regulatory
capital treatments will take effect from January 1, 2006,
subject to any transitional arrangements.

The proposals outlined in the APRA discussion paper are subject
to a consultation process.

The National is currently assessing the potential impacts as a
result of APRA's proposed treatments of these standards. It
intends to provide further information on the impact of the
proposed changes when it has had opportunity to review the
proposals in detail, discuss the framework further with APRA and
quantify potential impacts.

PARMALAT AUSTRALIA: Inks New Finance Deal with ANZ Bank
-------------------------------------------------------
Ailing Parmalat Australia has recently forged a new, three-year
financing deal with ANZ Banking Group Limited, relates Dow Jones
Newswires.

The local dairy producer, which placed its local finance needs
out to a tender process following the collapse of its Italian
parent Parmalet Finanziaria SpA, said ANZ will arrange and
underwrite a syndicated facility for an undisclosed amount.

The Company said it is optimistic the new deal will support its
operations until at least 2008. It added that the accord
underscores the financial sector's confidence in the company's
strategic direction and growth potential.

Parmalat Australia previously received loan facilities from ANZ,
National Australia Bank and Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

In late January, Parmalat Australia's historic cheese factory in
Warwick finally ended its six-year operation amid troubles at
its Italy-based parent.

Sources said the factory is going to be mothballed, as the
company has not decided yet decided whether to sell the factory
or retain it as an asset.

PERTAMINA: Delays Plan to Import Oil Fuel from Russia
-----------------------------------------------------
Pertamina said it put off a plan to buy oil fuel from Russia,
due to its failure open a letter of credit for the importation,
Asia Pulse reports.

The state-owned oil company aims to import 7.2 million barrels
of high-speed diesel (HSD) oil from Russia, via international
trading company WVC Petroleum (Far East) Ltd.

According to Pertamina president Widya Purnama, the firm wanted
to begin importing 600,000 barrels of HSD oil a month, starting
Dec. 2004. He added that the contract signed in October last
year with Singapore's WVC Petroleum was still ongoing, since the
delay was due to the opening of the letter of credit with state
banks.

PT Pertamina is a wholly state-owned enterprise. The enactment
of Oil and Gas Law No. 22/2001 in November 2001 and Government
Regulation No. 31/2003 changed its legal status from a special
state-own enterprise into a Limited Liability Company.

Jones.

According to this statement by a trader on Feb. 23, the tender
closes on Friday, Feb. 25.

The Company previously canceled a tender to buy similar cargo
for delivery on March 1-3, because of scarce supplies and
higher-than-expected offers. Earlier this month, Pertamina
purchased on a spot basis 400,000 barrels of gasoline.

DAIEI INCORPORATED: To Convert Jujiya Into Wholly Owned Unit
-----------------------------------------------------------
Struggling retailer Daiei Incorporated has agreed on an equity
swap deal that will convert Jujiya Company into a wholly owned
subsidiary on June 1, Japan Today reports.

As part of its rehabilitation scheme under the state-backed
Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan (IRCJ), Daiei
inked the deal with Jujiya, a firm engaged in the operation and
retail of clothing department stores.

The retail giant has also considered shutting down 53 of its
unprofitable supermarkets and sell off companies in a desperate
bid to turn its business around.

Early this month, Daiei warned that it would plunge deeper into
the red this year due to massive restructuring charges. The
Company forecasts a group net loss of JPY510 billion (US$4.88
billion) for the year through February 28, against last year's
JPY18.1 billion profit.

Daiei likewise trimmed its revenue estimate by 1.6 percent to
JPY1.8 trillion and its recurring profit forecast by 83 percent
to JPY7 billion. It also plans to skip its dividend for 2004/05,
as it would incur special losses from impending store closures.

MATSUSHITA INVESTMENT: May Get Aid from U.S. Fund
-------------------------------------------------
A U.S.-based private equity firm is in final talks to support
Matsushita Investment and Development Company, the real estate
arm of Matsushita Electric Industrial Company.

According to a Reuters report, Aetos Capital LLC heeded calls by
Panasonic products maker Matsushita Electric to help its ailing
real estate affiliate. Matsushita Electric reportedly approached
Aetos after negotiations to sell the unit to Daiwa House
Industry Co. failed.

Matsushita Investment has been struggling partly because of
excessive investments in developments such as overseas resorts
during the Japanese bubble years of the 1980s.


MITSUBISHI MOTORS: Releases Production Figures for January 2005
---------------------------------------------------------------
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation announced production, domestic
sales and export results for January 2005.

Total global production was 101,937 units, a decline of 11
percent from January 2004. Domestically, 50,308 units were
produced in the month, 16.2 percent less than the same period
last year. Commercial vehicle production saw a 1.8 percent rise,
but the overall figure fell due to lowered output of passenger
cars.

Sales in Japan tallied 16,011 units, 81.7 percent compared to
the previous year, a figure that exceeds the targeted goal of 70
percent of last year's sales for the month. Sales for
registrations have increased over the last year for the first
time in 14 months since November 2003 to 7,374 units, a 2.4
percent increase. This was driven by good results for the Colt
series, which totaled 4,933 units.

Overseas production for the month was relatively stable,
reaching 51,629 units, or 94.8 percent of the amount
manufactured last year. European production almost doubled year-
on-year, increasing by 95.7 percent to 6,167 units, while Asian
production remained steady at 37,439, or 103.3 percent of last
year's figure for January. Production in North America, which
was adjusted in late 2004, reduced by 54.4 percent to 5,670
units.

Exports from Japan were off by 18.2 percent at 22,249 units.
Exports to Europe resulted in 6,157 units, a year-on-year
decrease of 36.1 percent. Exports to Asia were down by 34.1
percent, for a total of 3,239 units, while exports to North
America reached 2,137 units, or 73.3 percent compared to the
year before.

SEIBU RAILWAY: Ex-Kokudo Boss Likely to Accept Reform Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
The former chairman of Kokudo Corporation, the controlling unit
of the Seibu Railway Company group, is considering accepting a
restructuring plan for the scandal-mired conglomerate, Kyodo
News reports.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is likely to agree on Seibu's reform plan that
would dilute his influence on the conglomerate. In fact, he
recently dismissed his lawyer, who was trying to protect his
assets and opposed Seibu's reform plan that was released on
January 28.

According to sources, Mr. Tsutsumi asked the lawyer to step down
because he "would hamper the reform plan". He is expected to
appoint a new lawyer recommended by Kokudo and convey his
approval of the reform plan to the panel shortly.

Mr. Tsutsumi quit as Kokudo chairman in October but remains the
company's largest shareholder with a 36-percent equity stake,
giving him the authority to decide whether to approve the
restructuring plan.

Under the reform plan, Kokudo would be divided into two parts:
one for the management of the group's founding family's assets,
and another that would succeed Kokudo's other operations. The
latter will be merged with Seibu Railway.

The restructuring plan is also designed to allow Seibu Railway
to replace Kokudo as the group's core company and absorb
Kokudo's Prince Hotels chain. It also calls on Seibu Railway to
increase its capital by JPY150 billion to JPY200 billion.

Lawyers representing Kokudo and Seibu Railway, as well as
incoming Seibu Railway President Takashi Goto, have repeatedly
asked Tsutsumi to accept the restructuring plan. The former
chairman said he would reply by the end of February because he
was in "poor physical condition".

SNOW BRAND: R&I Upgrades L-T Debt to BB-
----------------------------------------
Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I), has upgraded the
following ratings of Snow Brand Milk Products Co., Ltd.

Senior Long-term Credit Rating
R&I RATING: BB- (Upgraded from B+)
RATING OUTLOOK: Stable

Long-term Bonds (3 series)
R&I RATING: B+ (Upgraded from B)

RATIONALE:

Snow Brand Milk Products Co., Ltd. earns more than 80 per cent
of its sales from dairy products (cheese, butter, etc). The
Company formerly held top share in the dairy industry and had
built up a solid operating base. However, with the June 2000
food poisoning incident, and with the January 2000 false meat
labeling scandal involving a Snow Brand subsidiary, consumer
confidence in the brand has slipped and performance results have
declined, leading to an excess of liabilities over assets.

In the March 2003 quarter, the Company received financial
assistance by debt forgiveness from a major financial
institution, and this resolved the company's liabilities
problem. This led to the reinstatement of a focus on the
Company's business with higher profitability - dairy products,
as the Company's primary operating revenue source.
Snow Brand's performance results are starting to improve with
measures such as the group reorganization including the spinning
off of the milk market business and cost saving effects through
employment adjustment.

R&I perceives that the Company has moved out of its worst period
in that, for the first time in four years, in the March quarter
of 2004, the company moved into the black in operational profit
terms. A large operating profit in the March quarter of 2005 is
also anticipated.

The competition in the dairy industry has been tightening and
the push for lower prices amongst consumers has led to lower
sales prices and contracting revenues. However, the share of
sales in dairy is showing signs of recovery and the
profitability is also rising.

In terms of finances, the Company's debt reduction is
progressing as a result of the impetus provided by financial
assistance. Consolidated debt at the end of the March 2004
quarter was JPY97.8 billion, and although this figure still
exceeded assets, it has been reduced by nearly 60 percent since
the March 2002 quarter. The good commercial relationship enjoyed
by the company with financial institutions enhances this
stability.

R&I recognizes that progress is being made in improving both the
Company's revenue and financial composition. Consequently, R&I
upgraded the Snow Brand's Senior Long-term Credit Rating from B+
to BB-. Because the Company's debt exceeds real assets, the
rating for the Long-term Bonds has been raised to B+, a notch
lower than that for the Senior Long-term Credit Rating.

The Rating Outlook for Snow Brand Milk Products is stable. R&I
is mindful that, because the company's financial base is weak,
the Company lacks sufficient immunity to a worsening business
environment. R&I will pay attention to the progress of the
company's restructuring plan for the future, together with
future trends in the Company's capital accumulation.

R&I RATINGS:

ISSUER: Snow Brand Milk Products Co.
Senior Long-term Credit Rating: BB- (Upgraded from B+)
RATING OUTLOOK: Stable
ISSUE:
Bonds Rated             Issue Date   Redemption   Amount(mln)
Unsec. Str. Bonds No. 2 Oct 21, 1997 Oct 19, 2007 JPY10,000
Unsec. Str. Bonds No. 3 Dec 01, 1999 Dec 01, 2009 JPY10,000
Unsec. Str. Bonds No. 4 Dec 01, 1999 Dec 01, 2006 JPY10,000

R&I RATING: B+ (Upgraded from B)

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.

LG CARD: Five Shareholders Suspected of Insider Trading
-------------------------------------------------------
Five major shareholders of credit card firm LG Card were
informed on Wednesday that it is believed they are responsible
for alleged insider trading, and face possible prosecution,
reports the Korea Times.

According to the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC), its
Securities and Futures Commission had finished conducting a
probe into purported illegal transactions of LG shares.

LG Group chairman Koo Bon-moo, together with four other
shareholders, was accused by LG Investment & Securities' labor
union of using insider information to sell LG Card shares before
the firm became officially insolvent.

The prosecution must now determine whether to investigate the
case or not. The FSC reportedly found it hard to ascertain
whether the accused took part in any illegal transactions, so
they informed the prosecution about the case.

Early last year, LG Securities' labor union asked financial
regulators to check if 94 people were involved in unlawful
transactions of LG Card shares. But LG Group denied the
speculations, saying that shareholders just sold their shares to
satisfy requirements for the firm's spin off.

Private equity investor firm Warbug Pincus may be exempted from
further investigations concerning the alleged insider trading.
The equity firm sold its entire 18.92 percent LG Card stake
before the credit card firm went bankrupt.

LG CARD: To Conduct 5.5-for-1 Reverse Stock Split
-------------------------------------------------
LG Card Co. has decided to bring together its common shares by
combining 5.5 shares into one, reports Asia Pulse.

Under the reverse stock split, the Company's capital will be
reduced to KRW626.8 billion from KRW3.45 trillion, and the
number of outstanding shares will drop to 125 million from 689
million.

Trading of LG Card shares is to be suspended from March 4 to
March 17, 2005, with new shares to be issued on March 7 and
listed on the Korea Stock Exchange on March 17.

The consolidation of LG Card shares will allow creditors and
units of parent LG Group to infuse fresh capital worth KRW1
trillion into the credit card firm. Creditors agreed to the
recapitalization plan late last year, after conflicts on how to
bail out the troubled firm.

LG Card posted KRW5.6 trillion in losses in 2003, and recorded
losses from January to August last year.

CEPATWAWASAN GROUP: Court Adjourns Case Hearing to April 18
-----------------------------------------------------------
Reference is made to the announcement on Jan. 5, 2005 regarding
the Civil Suit No D3-24-83-2004 in respect of the committal
proceeding against the following former directors of
Cepatwawasan Group Berhad:

(1) Tengku Dato' Kamal Ibni Sultan Sir Abu Bakar (NRIC: 611008-
06-5021)

(2) Lt Kol Tengku Dato' Kamarul Zaman Ibni Sultan Sir Abu Bakar
(NRIC: 621104-06-5135)

(3) Kassim bin Mohamed Ali (NRIC: 570718-10-5915)

(4) Abdul Rahim bin Sendiri (NRIC: 460708-06-5203)

for breach of an undertaking given to the Court on July 5, 2004
by the former directors undertaken not to make capital
commitment, investment and acquisition and not to dispose off
assets of the Company, in particular its plantations and plants
until the disposal of the Extraordinary General Meeting by
notice dated March 23, 2004.

However, between July 9, 2004 and Aug. 5, 2004, the former
director transferred a total sum of RM16,000,000.00 to third
parties who had no dealing with the company, and therefore
breached the undertaking given to the Court.

Cepatwawasan Group Berhad announced that the Court has adjourned
the hearing of the said committal proceeding to April 18, 2005,
to enable the Plaintiff to file and serve an affidavit in
response to the affidavits filed and served by Tengku Dato'
Kamal Ibni Sultan Sir Abu Bakar and Lt Kol Tengku Dato' Kamarul
Zaman Ibni Sultan Sir Abu Bakar on Feb. 21, 2005.

BAYAN TELECOMMUNICATIONS: Offering Market's Lowest Internet Fee
---------------------------------------------------------------
In a bid to beef up its market share, Bayan Telecommunications
(BayanTel) launched the market's lowest-priced Internet plan,
Today News reveals.

BayanTel guarantees that for Php499 a month, subscribers are
assured of premium quality of unlimited Internet usage.

"By offering purely unlimited Internet use for a fixed monthly
charge, we believe we are further building up Sky Internet's
market position as among the pioneering and innovative Internet
service providers in the country. An unlimited package spells
out in clear terms the amount a subscriber needs to pay on a
monthly basis without the hassle of monitoring additional
charges for use during on-peak hours or going beyond the hours
prescribed under the plan," BayanTel vice president for Metro
Manila retail market Rodrigo Montinola said.

Mr. Montinola also stressed that Sky Internet's Php499 is a
regular price service and not a limited promotional offer. He
disclosed that the price point was borne out of a research
conducted by BayanTel which showed that an average prepaid
Internet user spends Php100 for a prepaid card once a week, or
equivalent to Php400 per month.

Mr. Montinola believes that the concept of unlimited Internet
use, usually associated with high bandwidth DSL plans,
represents a better deal to consumers who may be confused with
the various multitiered, pay-per-use packages out in the market
today.


BENPRES HOLDINGS: Clarifies Php1.5-B Refund Report
--------------------------------------------------
Benpres Holdings Corporation issued this announcement is in
reference to the news article entitled Php1.5-B refund due Metro
water users" published in the February 23, 2005 issue of The
Manila Times.

The article reported that "Ten million customers of two Metro
Manila water concessionaires are entitled to a Php1.5-bilion
refund for 2003 and 2004, according to estimates by the
Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System. The amount, an MWSS
official said, makes up a portion of the two concessionaire's
revenue already collected from consumers, which in turn is
intended for corporate income-tax payments during the period.
The Lopez-controlled Maynilad Water Services Incorporated needs
to refund Php900 million to customers, and the Ayala-owned
Manila Water Co., Inc., Php600 million, said the official, who
asked not to be named. The refund could come in the form of a
water rate reduction."

Benpres Holdings Corporation (BPC), in its letter dated February
23, 2005, informed the Exchange that:

"As informed by our subsidiary, Maynilad Water Services, Inc.
(MWSI), they believe that there is no basis to the statement
made by the unnamed Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System
(MWSS) official. As correctly stated in the article, the MWSS
regulatory office declared in July 2004 that the April 2003
Supreme Court decision which ruled that public utilities should
not pass off their corporate income taxes to customers, does not
apply to the two Metro Manila water concessionaires."

COLLEGE ASSURANCE: Workers, Planholders Lobby Against SEC Action
----------------------------------------------------------------
Employees and loyal planholders of College Assurance Plans
(CAP), who have been served well by the embattled pre-need firm,
lobbied against a campaign by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) to disable CAP, according to The Philippine
Star.

The Solidarity in College Assurance Plan (SICAP) stepped up
efforts to counter the SEC action, saying the campaign placed
the pre-need firm "in a bad light and compromised its financial
security".

SICAP believes that certain SEC officials undertook a protracted
media campaign to tarnish CAP's reputation without giving due
consideration to the serious impact it would have on the very
people the regulatory body is mandated to protect.

The concerned group aims to prove that CAP's client base stands
firmly behind the ailing company, and to underscore the fact
that CAP's employees and customers firmly believe that the
company is not in a dismal financial situation.

SICAP is also requesting CAP planholders to disregard SEC's
"malicious statements" because terminating their plans would
mean that they would almost immediately forfeit much of the
hard-earned money they invested for their children's future.

The group added that CAP, despite temporary pitfalls, is fully
committed to securing funds for the benefit of its planholders.

MANILA ELECTRIC: To Apply Final GRAM to Determine Remaining DAA
---------------------------------------------------------------
Manila Electric Company (MERALCO) evaluated the impact of the
October 1, 2004 Order of the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC)
in ERC Case Nos. 2001-646/2001-900 revising the minimum charge
provision in the Meralco rate schedules.

The evaluation established that the change on the basis of the
computation of the Transmission Charge component of the minimum
charge would result in a potential liability estimated at Php1.2
billion from June 2003 to October 2004.

The Company intends to bring up this matter to the ERC
considering that the Company is already incurring under-
recoveries in the Transmission Charge under the current
unbundled rates. From June 2003, the start of the rate
unbundling, up to December 2004, under-recoveries have already
reached Php1.2 billion.

ERC ORDER ON MERALCO GRAM

Article IV, Section 2 of the approved Guidelines for the
Automatic Adjustment of the Generation Rates and System Loss
Rates, require distribution utilities, like MERALCO, to file a
final GRAM application in order to determine the remaining
deferred accounting adjustment (DAA) in the Generation Charge
under the GRAM. The ERC, on January 27, 2005, released its Order
on Meralco's December 13, 2004 application approving a DAA of
9.29 centavos monthly amortization for a period of 24 months
starting on February 2005 until January 2007.

MANILA ELECTRIC: To Collect Php5.1 Bln to Cover Power Costs
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Manila Electric Company (Meralco) will collect a total of
Php5.1 billion from consumers over a two-year period, Dow Jones
Newswires reports.

The collection will be made to recoup expenses incurred between
June to October last year for the purchase of electricity by the
power firm.

Meralco said the amount will be the last delayed collection for
power generation expenses since the utility company already
adopted an automatic adjustment system from December.

The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) authorized Meralco to
collect the amount by approving the power firm's application to
collect Php0.0929 per kilowatt-hour for a period of 24 months.

The ERC, likewise, ordered Meralco to pay back a total of Php2.1
billion to certain costumers affected by the recalculation of
the cost of transmitting electricity. The refund would only
apply to customers who have signed a deal with Meralco to
purchase a guaranteed amount of electricity. The potential
refund covers the period June 2003 to October 2004.

In turn, Meralco will request ERC to reevaluate transmission
charges because of an estimated Php1.2 billion in under-
recoveries between June 2003 and December 2004 in transmission
costs.

PHILIPPINE LONG: NTC Probes ISPs' Rap Over Cheaper Rates
--------------------------------------------------------
The telecommunications regulator is looking into a complaint
filed by Internet service providers (ISPs) against Philippine
Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) for anti-competitive
behavior, relates The Philippine Star.

ISPs claimed PLDT breached competition regulations when it
introduced a Php10 flat rate for national direct dialing calls
and brought down the cost of dial-up Internet access to Php1 per
hour and its broadband Internet access to Php1,995 a month.

The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) has requested
PLDT to respond to the petition lodged by the Philippine
Internet Services Organization (PISO) asking NTC to issue a
cease-and desist order (CDO) banning PLDT from continuing its
flat rate promo as well as with its price reduction for PLDT
Vibe and myDSL.

PISO, composed of ISPs and other local Internet industry
players, stressed that PLDT has violated a 2002 compromise
agreement with the group when the former denied access to its
DSL (digital subscriber line) infrastructure to PISO members.

Aside from seeking a CDO to prevent PLDT from continuing with
its offerings, PISO also asked the NTC to stop the company from
increasing its pricing for EIR2 lines leased to its ISP
competitions and for a mandatory order compelling PLDT to allow
or give ISPs access to its DSL infrastructure as required by RA
7925 or the Public Telecommunications Act.

PRIMETOWN PROPERTY: Court OKs Rehab Petition
--------------------------------------------
Primetown Property Group's petition for rehabilitation was
recently granted approval by a Makati City trial court,
according to Business World.

The court also named Attorney Norma T. Angcao to replace
Attorney Jose Absalom L. Jocom, Jr. as Primetown's
rehabilitation receiver. Atty. Jocom reportedly complained that
Primetown refused to cooperate with him.

Under its rehabilitation scheme, debt-laden Primetown will
continue to cede properties to creditors, and then recapitalize
through new investors after all its liabilities are settled.

Primetown, which started operating in 1993 with an authorized
capital stock of Php1 billion, slowly fell into the mire due to
the peso's depreciation, higher interest rates and lack of
access to credits.

The firm's debt mounted quickly, reaching Php3 billion in 1998.
Fortunately, it managed to cut its debt to Php549.8 million
through loan restructuring and the surrender of properties to
creditors.

Primetown is presently indebted to Bank of the Islands,
Philippine National Bank, Asiatrust Bank, Export and Industry
Bank, Government Service Insurance System, China Banking Corp.,
Bank of Commerce, and Philippine Veterans Bank.

the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) that Bukit Investments
Limited (in Members' Voluntary Liquidation), a wholly-owned

CHINA AVIATION: Sued for $14.35-Mln in Unpaid Debts
---------------------------------------------------
SK Energy Asia Pte Ltd. is suing China Aviation Oil (Singapore)
Ltd. (CAO) and nine of its officials for $14.35 million in
unpaid debts and damages for fraud and misrepresentation,
reports Reuters, citing a source close to the case.

The suit is the first to include a task force of officials from
the parent company appointed to help get CAO Singapore back on
its feet.

A unit of South Korea's SK Corp, SK Energy supplied 30 to 40
percent of CAO's jet fuel. The lawsuit states that CAO owed
$13.46 million for jet fuel that was delivered on October 25,

operating results for the year ended 31 December 2004 as
follows:

Net profit:

STRD's full year net profit for the year ended 31 December 2004
stood at THB5.17 million, and has been the highest operating
profit since the crisis in 1997.  

Although the profit in 2003 stood at THB152.89 million, it
resulted in the operating loss of THB51.6 million after
deducting extra-ordinary transactions such as gain on sales of
fixed assets of THB8.1 million, gain on transfer of fixed assets
to settle debt of THB87.8 million and gain on debt restructuring
of THB108.6 million. In conclusion, profit this year increased
by THB56.7 million from last year.

Total revenue stood at THB718.3 million, an increase by 449.5%
from last year's total revenue of THB130.7 million comprising
of:

- Revenue from oil trading of THB685.8 million accounted for
95.4 % of total revenue which has been a new core business since
this year.

- Revenue from construction stone of THB20.5 million accounted
for 2.8% of total revenue. Note that this revenue increased by
66.7% from last year.

- Revenue from Tin Ore of THB8.2 million accounted for 1.1% of
total revenue.

Note that this revenue decreased from last year's revenue of
THB19.1 million as STRD discontinues this business due to the
expiry of the mining license.

Total expenses stood at THB712.6 million increased from last
year's total expenses of THB83.9 million and was broken down
into the following: 92.9% cost of fuel sales, 3.2 % cost of
construction stone sales, 1.1% cost of Tin Ore sales, and 2.6%
selling and administrative expenses.

Total assets as at 31 December 2004 stood at THB85.9 million, a  
66.4% increase from last year's total assets of THB51.6 million
which mainly increased from working capital requirements (both
in current assets and liabilities) relating to the oil trading
business.

Shareholder's equity stood at THB47.5 million, up by 12.2% from
last year's equity of THB42.3 million resulting from profit from
real operation as mentioned above.

Please be informed accordingly.
