BONLAC FOODS: Back to Black with AU$12.7-Mln Net Profit
-------------------------------------------------------
BONLAC Foods Ltd (BFL) posted an interim net profit of AU$12.7
million in an AU$41 million turnaround, according to The
Australian. The healthy figure reflects improved operating
returns and cost reductions.

The unlisted dairy producer, which is half-owned by New Zealand
co-op Fonterra, said seasonal conditions had improved in most
regions and commodity prices have remained firm.

"The outlook is good for BFL because we are much better
positioned today to capitalize on the prevailing operating
conditions," Bonlac general manager Bruce Donnison said.

"The restructure plan has resulted in significant changes at all
levels of the business, reducing costs and improving
efficiencies.

"With our operations better aligned with business needs, we are
now successfully building on the platform created since the
restructure."

Despite revenue of AU$328 million for the six months ended
December 31, 2004 being slightly lower than the AU$344 for the
previous corresponding period, Bonlac turned around its net loss
for the same period last year of $28.2 million.

"The turnaround ... indicates that the Company is strongly
positioned to deliver the AU$35 million to AU$38 million in
annualized savings outlined in the original restructuring
proposal," Mr. Donnison said.

The lower revenue was attributed to the lift in foreign exchange
rates across the period and the impact of lower milk production
due to drought conditions in the prior two years.

"These factors were largely offset by higher international
commodity prices and our access to Fonterra's global strength in
the ingredients market," Mr. Donnison said.

He said the BLF goal of future sustainable growth was now
interlocked with the Company's drive to look for ways to help
its farmers profitably produce more milk.

He said BLF's pricing options for suppliers suit current farm
practices, market conditions and the group's business.

"We are now providing suppliers with clarity of outlook so that
they can make strategic and profitable decisions regarding milk
flow in the second half," Mr. Donnison said.

"BLF will continue to look for opportunities for cohesion and
cooperation with other industry players that remove impediments
to growth, helping farmers achieve greater profitability."

QANTAS AIRWAYS: May Share Exclusive Route with SingAir
------------------------------------------------------
Singapore Airlines (SingAir) may soon fulfill its dream to serve
Qantas Airways' lucrative Australia-U.S. route if a deal
allowing Qantas to increase flights to Europe pushes through,
says The Advertiser.

Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson was in Brussels last week
fleshing out an idea to lift the number of flights Qantas could
make to Europe, especially on the famous kangaroo route to
London.

If the negotiations were successful, the deal could help
Singapore Airline's case to finally win Australian approval to
compete with Qantas on the Australia-U.S. route.

Qantas was earlier opposed to SingAir's campaign to enter the
controversial route, saying SingAir's presence will cost the
Australian carrier some AU$44 million in pretax earnings.

The Australian government is currently in the process of
deciding whether to allow SingAir to fly the route, which
accounts for about 10 percent of Qantas' annual profit.

BANK MANDIRI: To Earmark IDR6.7 Trillion for Infrastructure
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bank Mandiri said it will allocate IDR6.7 trillion (US$744
million) to finance infrastructure projects in 2005, reports
Asia Pulse.

Bank Director Nimrod Sitorus told legislators in a hearing on
Feb. 23 that the bank would provide credits for toll road,
seaport, telecommunication, port, power plant and oil and gas
projects.

According to Mr. Sitorus, the bank is expected to become an
international by increasing capital to IDR50 trillion, and
expanding operations to countries outside Indonesia.

BARITO PACIFIC: To Issue Bonds as Part of Rehab Scheme
------------------------------------------------------
PT Barito Pacific Timber said it will issue IDR2 trillion
(USD215.9 million) in bonds to Commerzbank International Trust
(Singapore) Ltd. (CITS), that can be converted into shares of
two of its units, reports Dow Jones.

According to Barito Pacific, CITS, which holds a 21 % stake in
the forestry firm can exchange the bonds for a 39.6% stake of
the forestry Company PT Musi Hutan Persada, and a 40% stake of
PT Tanjung Enim Lestari Pulp and Paper until June 30, 2006.

Barito fixed debt-restructuring deals with creditors in 2002 and
2003, but the Company still has cash-flow problems. Earlier this
year, it defaulted on a payment of its IDR400 billion bonds.

The firm was quoted as saying that even though political and
economic conditions in Indonesia are improving, there are still
many problems in the wood industry, such as illegal logging and
currency fluctuation, that doesn't help the industry at all.

The bond issuance is part of the firm's restructuring scheme.

DAIEI INCORPORATED: IRCJ Closes Rehab Sponsorship Tender
--------------------------------------------------------
The state-backed corporate turnaround agency closed on Monday
the acceptance of tender bids for sponsoring the rehabilitation
of ailing Daiei Incorporated, Kyodo News reports.

The Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan (IRCJ)
disclosed that the three final contenders are consortiums led by
supermarket chain operator Aeon Company, trading house Marubeni
Corporation and investment fund Kiacon Corporation.

After reviewing the three groups' restructuring proposals, the
IRCJ will select one as sponsor in early March. The winner will
get one-third of the troubled retailer's voting-right shares.
The IRCJ will hold another third.

IRCJ decided to help Daiei in late December after the retail
giant requested for its support in October.

DAIEI INCORPORATED: Marubeni Likely to Win Sponsorship Bid
----------------------------------------------------------
A consortium led by trading house Marubeni Corporation is tipped
to become Daiei Incorporated's turnaround sponsor as the tender
moves into its final phase, according to the Asahi Shimbun.

According to sources, the Industrial Revitalization Corporation
of Japan (IRCJ) is particularly impressed with Marubeni's track
record. Marubeni, which is teamed with investment fund Advantage
Partners Inc., is no stranger to the Daiei group since the two
have done business in the past.

Marubeni's draft revival program for Daiei includes a JPY60
billion fresh cash injection and the appointment of a new
president from outside the Company. The trading house also plans
to utilize Daiei's current personnel and expertise for the
rehabilitation efforts.

The trading house intends to re-establish a low-cost supply
chain for Daiei, drawing on food, confectionery and other
wholesalers it deals with. In addition, Marubeni is expected to
seek cooperation from Mitsubishi Corp., which boasts the largest
food wholesaler network of any general trading house in Japan.

Marubeni is competing with two other contenders, a group led by
supermarket operator Aeon Co. and another headed by
rehabilitation fund Kiacon Corp.


DAIEI INCORPORATED: Mizuho Bank to Withdraw from Revival Scheme
---------------------------------------------------------------
Mizuho Corporate Bank is considering pulling out of a government
scheme to rehabilitate embattled retailer Daiei Incorporated,
reports Agence France Presse.

The Mizuho Financial Group unit reportedly plans to waive more
than JPY80 billion (US$762 million dollars) of loans for Daiei.
But it had requested the state-backed Industrial Revitalization
Corporation of Japan (IRCJ) to buy the rest of the credits.
Sources said that the IRCJ was inclined to agree to the
purchase.

No immediate comment was available from the bank, which along
with UFJ Bank and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking is one of the main
creditors to Daiei with loans worth about JPY230 billion (US$2.2
billion).

Daiei, which is trying to turn its business around under debt of
about US$10 billion, is expected to have a rehabilitation
sponsor by March.

HANKYU CORPORATION: Gets Stable Outlook from S&P
------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook to stable
from negative on the long-term rating on Hankyu Corp.
(BB/Stable/--) reflecting lower risk to its financial profile
following successful business restructuring and reduced support
to group companies. At the same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed
its long-term rating on the Company.

Although Japan's declining population may lead to reduced
passenger volume in the long-term, risks are unlikely to
increase for railway businesses. Given the highly public nature
of railways and its high barriers to entry, business risk is
extremely small. Furthermore, Japan's demographic structure is
predicted to change only slowly, giving enough time for the
Company to address the shift.

At Hankyu, the risk that group companies will require further
financial support has also diminished. The Company has carried
out thorough restructuring measures, including withdrawing from
the amusement park business, write-offs of property acquired
during the economic "bubble", and a bulk sale of land for
housing. As a result Hankyu has no notably unprofitable
businesses, except for its relatively new finance units.

Hankyu's core railway business can expect relatively stable
demand since its routes run through prime residential areas.
Real estate leasing also contributes profits, backed by its
portfolio of many competitive properties.

In the real estate unit, five development projects are in
progress, and all face only limited business risk, except for
the Saito Development Project. Given its large size and long
timeline, the Saito project will require close attention to
development progress and land price trends.

Hankyu Corporation's Profile

The Group's principal activity is to operate railway
transportation and to develop housing estates and recreational
and commercial facilities. The Group's operations are carried
out through the following sectors: transportation, leisure and
service, real estate, retail and other. Transportation includes
train and car freight. Leisure and service includes travel
agencies, hotels and leisure business. Real estate includes
lease, sale and administration of real estate. Other includes
restaurants, distribution and construction. Transportation
accounted for 38% of fiscal 2002 revenues; Leisure and service,
31%; Real estate, 13%; Retail, 12% and Other, 6%.

KINTETSU CORPORATION: S&P Revises Outlook to Stable
---------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services today revised its outlook to
stable from negative on the long-term rating on Kintetsu Corp.
(BB+/Stable/--), reflecting lower risk to its financial
profile following successful business restructuring and reduced
support to group companies. At the same time, Standard & Poor's
affirmed its long-term rating on the Company.

Although Japan's declining population may lead to reduced
passenger volume in the long-term, risks are unlikely to
increase for railway businesses. Given the highly public nature
of railways and its high barriers to entry, business risk is
extremely small. Furthermore, Japan's demographic structure is
predicted to change only slowly, giving enough time for the
Company to address the shift.

Kintetsu has restructured its hotel, leisure, real estate, and
other low-profit businesses. The Company recorded sizable losses
from write-offs relating to the theme park Shima Spain Village
and from consolidating Kintetsu Real Estate as a full
subsidiary. As a result, the profit-generating capacity of its
non-railway business has improved. In addition, the Company is
continuing its fiscal 2004 (ending March 31, 2005) restructuring
plans, such as the sale of its professional baseball team and
write-offs of losses from its hotel and golf course businesses.

Given steady progress in these measures, the Kintetsu group
appears to be on the right course to recover its financial
profile.

Kintetsu Corporation's Profile

Kintetsu is best known for its railroad operations, but the
Company's businesses run on multiple tracks. Kintetsu's Kinki
Nippon Railway, founded in 1910, provides passenger rail
transportation between the metropolitan areas of Osaka and
Nagoya, Japan. Other businesses affiliated with Kintetsu include
a department store, a freight forwarder (Kintetsu World
Express), a travel agency, and a real estate development
Company.

NAGOYA RAILROAD: S&P Changes Outlook from Negative to Stable
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services today revised its outlook to
stable from negative on the long-term rating on Nagoya Railroad
Co. Ltd. (BBB-/Stable/--), reflecting lower risk to its
financial profile following successful business restructuring
and reduced support to group companies. At the same time,
Standard & Poor's affirmed its long-term rating on the Company.

Although Japan's declining population may lead to reduced
passenger volume in the long-term, risks are unlikely to
increase for railway businesses. Given the highly public nature
of railways and its high barriers to entry, business risk is
extremely small. Furthermore, Japan's demographic structure is
predicted to change only slowly, giving enough time for the
Company to address the shift.

Nagoya Railroad has made progress in restructuring and
consolidating unprofitable businesses, and it has concentrated
its management resources into central Japan. The leisure and
service business units previously had a negative impact on
overall profitability, but they have been improving as a result
of spin-offs, outsourcing, and consolidation.

In the railway business, Nagoya Railroad's service connecting
Gifu, Nagoya, and Toyohashi faces competition with Central Japan
Railway Co. However, the Company is expected to maintain
competitiveness in this route by enhancing passenger convenience
through improving connections to Nagoya's municipal subway
system. In addition, Nagoya Railroad is the sole train operator
to the Central Japan International Airport that opened on Feb.
17,
2005, and the route is expected to generate stable profits for
the Company.

Nagoya Railroad Company Limited's Profile

The Group's principal activities are the operation of local
railway and bus services in Nagoya area. The operations involve
train, bus, and taxi transport services. The operation also
involves hotels, restaurants, travel agency, department stores,
other retail, and real estate business. Transportation accounted
for 43% of fiscal 2002 revenues; Distribution, 30%; Leisure,
12%; Real Estate, 8% and Other, 7%.

* 48.3% of Researched Third Sector Firms Reported "Excess Debt"
---------------------------------------------------------------
In 2004, there were 12 bankruptcies in the third sector, mainly
filed by the "Leisure/Resort" industry such as golf course
management companies. The number of bankruptcies was double-
digit in four consecutive years since its peak in 2001 (22
cases) and accumulated to 90 since 1988.

Last February, three companies including "Osaka World Trade
Center Building (WTC)" funded by Osaka city, completed specific
settlements such as seeking for released liability from
financial institutions. Influenced by "The Revision of
Guidelines for the Third Sector" announced by the Ministry of
Internal Affairs and Communications in Dec 2003, drastic
measures including legal liquidation are expected to continue
facilitating the third sector companies, which have no prospect
of profit recovery due to the cumulative loss.

Teikoku Databank conducted research and analysis on the
financial status, profit & loss statements, and debt statements
of 1724 third sector companies across the country based on their
fiscal 2003 account settlements (Apr 2003 - Mar 2004).

The following criteria is used for research and analysis:
*Total net worth exceeds capital fund = "Stable Management";
Total net worth is below capital fund due to cumulative loss,
etc = "Concern for Excess Debt"; Total net worth is negative =
"Excess Debt" *Profit & loss is judged by results of this term.

Summary

1668 companies of the total of 1724 disclosed their financial
statements. Research results showed that out of 1668 companies,
203 had "Excess Debt" (12.2%) and 602 had expressed "Concern for
Excess Debt" (36.1%) with cumulative loss. The number of
companies with unstable management, combining those expressing
"Excess Debt" and "Concern for Excess Debt", was 805, accounting
for 48.3% of the total.

By industry, the highest rate of "Excess Debt" was in "Railroad
and Other Transportation" (24 companies, 19.0%) followed by
"Leisure/Resort" (75 companies, 17.6%). On the other hand, the
highest rate of "Stable Management" was in "Gas / Heat Provider"
(17 companies, 85.0%) followed by "Wholesale / Retail" (98
companies, 66.2%).

Based on 1671 companies announcing their profit & loss
statements for the most recent two terms, 1152 companies
reported a "Surplus in Two Consecutive Terms", accounting for
68.9%, up 8.7 points from the previous year (60.2%). It
indicates the overall recovery in terms of profit. In
particular, percentage of companies reporting "Surplus in Two
Consecutive Terms" considerably increased in the "Broadcasting
Industry"(up 18.1 points from the previous year) and the

HANARO TELECOM: Investors Still Wary of Recovery
------------------------------------------------
Hanaro Telecom seems to have gained its footing, but investors
are still wary, Dow Jones reports.

In 2003, the telecommunications firm almost went bankrupt due to
increasing debt and heavy competition. Now, after a
reorganization and a KRW502 billion investment by insurer
American International group (AIG) and private equity firm
Newbridge Capital, Hanaro Telecom is becoming more stable.

Hanaro Telecom has agreed to buy rival firm Korea Thrunet
Company for KRW471.4 billion. Hanaro posted net profit of
KRW10.5 billion in 2004, and is expecting its earnings to
increase, with its fixed-line business.

Despite all this, investors are still cautious. Shares in the
firm have fallen 9 % since Jan. 31. On Feb. 24, shares fell
KRW20 to KRW3,265.

Analysts say that while Hanaro's acquisition of rival Thrunet
Company will increase the firm's broadband subscriber base, it's
not enough. Stiff competition has increased marketing costs,
thereby affecting operating profit, and this in turn will affect
the near-term share price of Hanaro. Consolidation may be a
solution for the telecommunications firm, they added.

Some analysts said that now is a good time to buy shares in the
firm, with the recent decline in its share price.

HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR: Creditors in Talks to Refinance Debt
---------------------------------------------------------
Creditors of South Korea's Hynix Semiconductor Inc. are in talks
on how to refinance a debt of KRW1 trillion to KRW1.5 trillion,
reports online business news provider Edaily.

Hynix's restructuring adviser Deutsche Bank suggested the
refinancing measure in a report to help the firm complete its
debt-restructuring program earlier than planned. Once Hynix has
refinanced its debt, creditors will begin looking for a lead
manager to sell their shares.

According to main creditor Korea Exchange Bank, it is not yet
clear whether Hynix will be able to refinance its debt ahead of
schedule, or whether the Company will be sold. Hynix officials
were reportedly unaware such discussions.

LG CARD: Recurring Loss Lesser than Expected
--------------------------------------------
LG Card Co.'s main creditor Korea Development Bank (KDB) said
the credit card firm posted a preliminary recurring loss of
KRW790 billion for 2004, narrower than the expected KRW1.21
trillion, Dow Jones reports.

KDB also said it forecasts LG Card to report recurring profits
of KRW130 billion this year, and an increased profit of KRW250
billion for 2006. The bank said it expects the firm's operations
to be back to normal by the end of 2006.

In KDB's report to the National Assembly, LG Card's initial
delinquency ratio was 12.2% last year, compared with 17.9% at
the end of 2003.

After a KRW5 trillion government-led bailout package last year,
LG Card escaped bankruptcy again through a KRW1 trillion
infusion by creditors and affiliates of parent LG Group.

LG Card is scheduled to announce its official 2004 business
results in March.

NATIONAL BANK: Sells Php4.8 Bln in Bad Loans to U.S. Consortium
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Philippine National Bank (PNB) announced the successful sale
of Php4.8 billion in non-performing loans (NPLs) last February
23, 2005 to the Consortium of Bank America and Marathon Asset
Management.

"This SPV sale is part of our overall non-performing asset (NPA)
resolution strategy to maximize the Bank's recoveries from non-
performing loans and acquired assets, and improve the balance
sheet," says PNB President Lorenzo V. tan.

"This sale, which attracted a good number of bidders, is a good
indicator of the continued keen interest of international
investors to participate in the country's distressed assets
market."

Out of seven indicative bids received from international
investors invited to participate in the transparent competitive
auction process, three investors were short listed to submit
their definitive bids after conducting a due diligence on the
loans being sold. The consortium of Bank of America and marathon
Asset Management was eventually declared the final winner.

With this sale and other NPL resolutions that are forthcoming,
PNB expects to bring down its NPL portfolio froma high of Php53
billion at the start of PNB's rehabilitation and Php37.9 billion
as of end-2004 level to Php24.3 billion by end-2005. Only last
year, the Bank's NPL ratio registered a big improvement as the
Bank led a consortium of 13 banks for the sale of National Steel
Corporation to Indian-owned Global Infrastructure Holdings for
Php13.25 billion.

Mr. Tan adds, "Our experience at PNB shows that the "Bad bank"
side of the "Good Bank-Bad Bank" strategy we have adopted is now
bearing much fruit as shown in the recent successes in
addressing the Bank's NPA problem. The commitment is to continue
improving asset quality to reduce the income drag and enhance
profitability in the long-term."

The financial advisory team of Ernst & Young Transaction
Advisory Services, Inc. served as PNB's financial advisor for
this sale. The New York law firm of Mandel, Katz, Manna &
Brosnan, LLP was PNB's international legal advisor, and local
law firm Angara Abello Concepcion Regala & Cruz as PNB's
domestic legal advisor for this transaction. PNB's financial and
legal advisors brought to this transaction substantial
experience in structuring fair and transparent dispositions of
NPLs in the Philippines and in other Asia Pacific markets.

Bank of America NA is a major financial institution in the U.S.
The bank is active in the Distressed Debt Market in Asia.

NATIONAL POWER: Lenders Hesitant to Finance Masinloc Deal
---------------------------------------------------------
The Australian-Filipino group who won the tender to buy National
Power Corporation's (Napocor) Masinloc power plant is struggling
to find money to fund the acquisition, according to Malaya News.

The YNN-Pacific Consortium Incorporated is reportedly seeking to
secure some US$200 million loan to help fund the half-billion-
dollar deal. However, an unnnamed source said the consortium has
not yet raised the money because banks are wary about financing
the purchase of Napocor's 600-MW coal-fired Masinloc plant.

"They are approaching various people (for financing) but haven't
got any response," the unnamed source said.

The consortium has nine months from the date of the deal's
announcement to pay the cash-strapped Philippine government 40
percent of the acquisition price of US$560 million. If they fail
to do so, the bidder would lose the US$9 million downpayment it
has put down for the asset.

An official at the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities
Management Corporation (PSALM) confirmed that the consortium
would lose its downpayment if it failed to raise the money for
the acquisition in time.

PHILIPPINE LONG: Smart Will Not Imitate Sun's 24/7 Scheme
---------------------------------------------------------
The cellular-phone subsidiary of the Philippine Long Distance
Telephone Company (PLDT) said it will not follow Sun Cellular's
24/7 scheme, Today reports.

Smart Communications has no plans to offer unlimited intra-call
and text services, saying they are unfazed by the plan of rival
Globe Telecom to imitate the scheme of Sun Cellular, a unit of
Digitel Mobile Philippines Incorporated (DMPI).

Smart asserted that there has been no slow down in so far as
Smart and Piltel subscriber take up is concerned and that their
19-million subscribers prefer premium quality of cellular
service.

Last week, the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) has
approved Touch Mobile's proposal to offer Php300 unlimited calls
and text messaging services among Touch Mobile subscribers for
30 days starting March 1 to 30. Touch Mobile is a cellular brand
of Globe which targets the lower segment of the cellular market.

Observers said that Globe had to respond to the rate reduction
pricing tactics of other phone firms in order to prevent
existing subscribers to drop out from the network and transfer
to competitors.

Last October, DMPI launched a 24/7 scheme that enables Sun
Cellular subscribers to call on an unlimited basis for Php250 a
month.

Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) also started to
offer a Php10 flat rate on PLDT to PLDT national direct distance
calls and PLDT to Smart or Piltel regardless of how long the
call takes.

PHILIPPINE LONG: Extends NDD Promo Until March 11
-------------------------------------------------
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) opted to
extend the effectivity of its promotional rate for national
direct dial (NDD) calls due to an increase in landline usage,
Business World says.

The volume of calls and number of PLDT to PLDT and PLDT to Smart
and Talk 'N Text is growing significantly everyday," said Butch
Jimenez, PLDT head for business retail group

The telecommunications Company has obtained approval from the
National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to retain until
March 11 the NDD rate of calls within the PLDT network
regardless of length of calls.


PILIPINO TELEPHONE: NTC Revises SRF Computation
-----------------------------------------------
The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) has revised the
computation for the supervisory and regulatory fees (SRF) due
from Pilipino Telephone Company (Piltel), Business World
relates.

The recent adjustment has effectively reduced Piltel's liability
to around Php500 million. The outstanding amount based on the
new computation will relive the troubled telephone company from
paying as much as Php1.3 billion, the initial amount sought by
the NTC. The original amount covers SRF from 1992 to 2004,
including penalties during the period.

"The SRF due from Piltel corresponding to the difference between
its paid capital and par value of its shares from 1992 to 2004,
shall be assessed and collected from the said respondent," the
NTC said in a Feb. 9 order.

GREATRONIC LIMITED: Probes Suspected Fraudulent Conduct
-------------------------------------------------------
The Audit Committee (AC) of Greatronic Limited announced at the
Singapore Stock Exchange that on 25 February 2005, in the course
of probing outstanding receivables amounting to S$1.3 million
due to the Company, it discovered from Mr. Lim Kok Koon, a
Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, that the
outstanding receivables arose from inflated prices that were
intended to show higher profits for Greatronic Technology (M)
Sdn Bhd (GTM), a subsidiary of the Company.

As there appeared to have been fraud committed against the
Company, the AC immediately reported this to the Company's
Auditors, Ernst & Young (EY) for the purpose of Section 207(9A)
of the Companies Act. The AC agreed that EY should assess the
financial impact of the suspected fraud on the Company. Based on
EY's report, the AC will decide whether further investigation is
required.

The transactions in question are with related parties, Greatlink
Electronics Germany (GEG) and Greatlink International Inc., USA
(GIUS). GEG and GIUS are companies benefially owned or
controlled by Greatlink Electronics Taiwan Ltd., (GLT), who is a
major shareholder of the Company (47.2%) and which is majority
owned and controlled by Mr Huang Ming Lang @ Max Huang, a
Director and the Chairman of the Company.

The probe arose from concerns raised by EY with regards to the
sum of S$1.3 million in the FY 2004 group accounts that is
allegedly owned by GEG and GIUS to GTM and which has been
outstanding for more than 12 months. As EY could not be
satisfied with the collectibility of the debt, EY has
recommended that management consider recording a provision for
the entire amount.

Suspected fraudulent conduct

The AC discovered through questioning Mr Lim that the sum of
S$1.3 million that is allegedly owed by GEG and GIUS to GTM
comprises the balance of accounts receivables arising from a
series of sales transactions with GEG and GIUS. The transactions
in question involved GEG and GIUS placing orders for goods
procured by GTM at inflated prices for the purpose of inflating
the revenue and profits of GTM. GEG and GIUS paid GTM at the
real prices and the fictitious gains were built up as
receivables. The transactions in question occurred between
November 2002 and January 2004.

Investigation by EY

EY have informed the AC that they will issue their interim
report to the AC next week. The AC will make further
announcement of the findings of EY as and when they are
available.

Effect of the investigation on the financial performance of the
Company

Subject to the findings of EY on the transactions in question,
the AC takes the view that a full provision of the sum of S$1.3
million is required as at 31 December 2004. Some of the S$1.3
million may need to be allocated to previous years.

Voluntary leave of absence of Mr Lim

Pending the investigation of EY, Mr Lim has agreed to take a
voluntary leave of absence (without pay) from his office as
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The AC has obtained an
assurance from Mr Lim that he will nevertheless co-operate fully
with the investigation by EY and ensure business continuity.

AC's views of investigation on the future prospects of the
Company

The AC takes the view that the public disclosure of the
investigation into the transactions in question and the
voluntary leave of absence taken by Mr Lim are likely to have a
negative impact on the share price of the Company and may affect
investor confidence. The AC will endeavor to work together with
the existing management to ensure business continuity, manage
these uncertainties and restore investor confidence in a timely
fashion.

The foregoing constitutes information available to the AC as at
the time of this announcement. Further announcements will be
made as and when they are available.
