ION LIMITED: Moving Closer to Restructure
-----------------------------------------
Failed ION Limited has moved closer to a restructure ahead of a
possible sale, according to The Advertiser.

The firm's administrators McGrathNicol said "pleasing progress"
had been made boosting production efficiency and cost reductions
at the Castalloy casting foundries at Plympton and Kilkenny.

However, the insolvency firm warned that negotiations on
reducing emissions could involve considerable expenditure to any
new owner.

In addition, the Wingfield production facility also would
require additional capital of about AU$17 million to make it
financially viable.

ION's creditors are scheduled to meet again next month.

QANTAS AIRWAYS: Uncertain of Number of Possible Redundancies
------------------------------------------------------------
Qantas said there was no definitive figure for possible
redundancies as a result of its ongoing and extensive
restructuring across all areas of the Company.

The Chief Executive Office of Qantas, Geoff Dixon, said Qantas -
like all airlines - was involved in ongoing workplace and
operational change to meet the challenges facing aviation
worldwide.

Mr. Dixon said that despite its credible level of recent
profitability, Qantas had no option but to continue the change
program it had been implementing in recent years.

"Two weeks ago, when reporting the Qantas half-year results, we
announced a review of all processes and activities across the
Qantas Group that would take at least three months," Mr. Dixon
said.

"It has been this willingness by the Company to confront deeply
embedded inefficiencies that has provided Qantas with the means
for substantial investment in aircraft and product and
significant employment growth.

"Qantas has added 7,500 jobs over the past six years while most
airlines have been undertaking massive downsizing."

Mr. Dixon said it was inevitable that existing efficiency
programs and the process review outlined at Qantas' half-year
results announcement would result in further change.

"This could involve some redundancies, some relocation of
activities - not necessarily offshore - and a change in emphasis
in the direction of some areas of the Company. It could also
involve new jobs and greater opportunities in other areas" he
said.

"We do not have a redundancy target in any area - we have a
commitment to ensure the competitive future of Qantas. What we
do have is a record of employing and training Australians in
many key disciplines."

Qantas currently employs about 38,500 people including more than
35,000 in Australia.

Mr. Dixon said Qantas was consulting, and would continue to
consult, extensively with its people over proposed future
changes.

He said that despite some misinformed views to the contrary,
Qantas received no Government support in an industry rife with
Government ownership, subsidies and extensive protection.

XANADU WINES: Third Party Buyers Eye Stake
------------------------------------------
Cash-strapped Xanadu Wines Limited has drawn the interest of
potential buyers of all or part of its stake, Asia Pulse says.

The ailing wine maker said it was approached by a number of
third parties who are keen on acquiring the Company. But it
stressed it was not under financial pressure to sell more
assets, saying any offers would only be considered if the
directors consider them in shareholder's interests.

Xanadu plunged deeper into the red in December with an AU$17.38
million (US$13.59 million) loss at the back of big write-downs.
Recently, the Company raised AU$10 million from the sale of
vineyards, the Normans, Jindawarra and NXG brands. The proceeds
were earmarked to repay debt.

But despite Xanadu's claim it is financially sound, the group's
financial auditors doubted its financial viability. It believes
"there is significant uncertainty whether the consolidated
entity will be able to continue as going concerns".

"Should the consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going
concern, it may be required to realize its assets and extinguish
its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and
at amounts different from those stated in the financial report,"
Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu said in its review of the earnings
report.

Xanadu said its financiers were satisfied with the group's
restructure.

INDOFOOD SUKSES: 2004 Net Profit Drops 37%
------------------------------------------
Despite an increase in sales, PT Indofood Sukses Makmur posted a
decline of 37% in its 2004 net profit, to IDR378 billion from
IDR693 billion in 2003, reports Asia Pulse.

In a statement over the weekend, the Company said last year's
sales increased to IDR17.9 trillion from IDR17.87 trillion in
2003. The drop, according to Company president Anthony Salim, in
the Company's net profit may be due to IDR296.9 billion in
foreign exchange losses.

By December 2004, Indofood's liabilities also increased,
amounting to IDR7.9 trillion (of which IDR2.96 trillion came
from foreign exchange), from 2003's IDR7.5 trillion.

Indofood, the largest producer of instant noodles in Southeast
Asia, is controlled by the Salim family through Hong Kong-listed
conglomerate First Pacific Ltd.

According to Minister of State Enterprises Sugiharto, the Board
of Commissioners issued a notice of suspension to Mr. Rohimone
to facilitate speedy investigation of the corruption case.

Indonesia's official anti-monopoly watchdog, the Business
Competition Supervision Commission (KPPU), last week found
Pertamina and its business partners guilty of a violation
against the Law on Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business
Competition in selling two Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC)
tankers, which resulted in the loss of some US$50 million to the
state.

KPPU ordered Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., the Company's business
consultant, to pay IDR79.71 billion in penalties and
compensation, and also ordered Pertamina buyer Frontline Ltd. to
pay a fine of IDR25 billion and compensation of IDR120 billion.
Both firms plan to challenge KPPU's verdict in court.

FUJITA CORPORATION: Creditor Prepares Another Lifeline Package
--------------------------------------------------------------
The largest creditor of Fujita Corporation has offered to rescue
the troubled construction firm, reports the Nihon Keizai
Shimbun.

Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation has put together another aid
package totaling JPY80 billion (US$762 million), in response to
Fujita's request for fresh funds.

However, Fujita is likely to be forced into another breakup as a
precondition for receiving the lifeline.

In 2002, Fujita was split into AC Real Estate Corporation, which
took over the unprofitable real estate business, and the current
Fujita, which took over the construction business.

But despite turnaround efforts and financial aids revived in
1999 and 2003, Fujita still failed to meet earnings targets set
in its rehabilitation plan due to poor performance of its
mainstay construction business.

Fujita has been considering merging with Sumitomo Mitsui
Construction, but for now the Company is likely to focus on
rebuilding its business on its own.

KAMAYA RYOKAN: Restructures Business Under IRCJ
-----------------------------------------------
The Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan (IRCJ) has
approved an application by Kamaya Ryokan Ltd. (Kamaya Ryokan)
under Article 22, Clause 3 of the Industrial Revitalization
Corporation Act of 2003.

1. Outline of business approved for assistance

Company name: Kamaya Ryokan Ltd (Yumori Kamaya Ryokan)

Date of establishment: 1952

Capital: JPY10.0 million (as of end March 2004)

Head office: Yumoto, Nikko city, Tochigi Prefecture

Representative: Motoo Kobayashi

Number of employees: 37 (28 full-time and 9 part-time employees,
as of end October 2004)

Outline of business: Onsen (hot spring) hotel operations
Okunikko Konishi Hotel operates a 77-room inn, the Yumori
Kamaya Ryokan, in the Okunikko Yumoto Onsen area of Nikko
National Park, catering mainly to student groups and field
trips.

2. Name of financial institution or other party jointly
submitting application:
The Ashikaga Bank, Ltd.

3. Outline of revitalization plan for Kamaya Ryokan

Business plan

1. Operational policy

The hotel will be positioned with various student groups as an
out-of-the-ordinary place of relaxation that stimulates one's
curiosity, while promoting the plentiful, milky white waters of
the hot spring and the beauty of the surrounding natural
environment.

2. Facilities

The hotel will be operated with three buildings: the main hotel,
the Aisanzou, and the Garden House. The dilapidated staff hostel
Rakusanzou will be demolished, and the annex building will be
earthquake strengthened and converted into staff accommodation.

A landmark large-scale rotenburo (outside hot spring bath) will
be constructed to increase customer appeal at the same time as
helping boost awareness of and customer interest in the general
region.

3. Management structure

A new board of directors will be formed, comprising one
representative director who will be an external appointment and
two corporate officers, for a total of three. Modern
operating systems and enhanced corporate governance will be
established under the direction of an outside management
Company, Ryokan Management Support.

Corporate restructuring

After a 100% capital reduction of Kamaya Ryokan, a JPY70 million
capital injection from private investors and the IRCJ is
planned. In addition, a JPY130 million convertible bond issue is
planned, to be underwritten by private investors and the IRCJ.
An application is planned under the special measure law on
industrial revitalization.

Outline of Financial Assistance

A total of JPY1.6 billion in financial support will be requested
from financial institutions.

Projected figures for the revitalization plan
                   Fiscal year ended   Fiscal year ending
                   March 2004 (actual) March 2008 (target)

Net sales          JPY427 million      JPY488 million
Operating Income   JPY29 million       JPY46 million

Implications for management
In order to clarify responsibility, all current directors will
resign.

Implications for shareholders
With the 100% capital reduction, all existing shares will be
cancelled without compensation.

IRCJ Rationale for providing assistance
(1) Causes of current financial situation

The main causes of Kamaya Ryokan's current financial trouble are
1) excessive capital investment, 2) a decline in school visits
with the aging population, and 3) low levels of marketing and
services to general customers. The weak domestic economy also
caused a decline in sales, with the result that the hotel has
become unable to reduce its excessive debt burden and unable to
raise funds for necessary capital investment.

(2) Potential for revitalization

Kamaya Ryokan has a long history in the okunikko yumoto onsen
area under the president's family, and is well known for its
charactestic milky white hot springs, natural environment and
other features.

The IRCJ believes there is ample potential for revitalization of
the business, through such measures as attracting general guests
and day trippers through establishing a large-scale outside hot
spring bath, improving guest package options, making necessary
capital expenditure, and improving the management of operations.
Also, the process can be positioned as an example of a Japanese
Inn/Hotel revitalization scheme based on the use of an outside
operational support Company.

(3) Comments from the state ministers in charge of the
Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan, and from
ministers in charge of the target Company's industry.

None expressed

Note on comments from ministers: The IRCJ is a quasi-
governmental organization. As such, the IRCJ is required to
obtain comments about decisions to assist private-sector
companies from the three government ministers in charge of the
IRCJ, and from the minister of the industrial sector in which
the target Company operates.

(4) Debt repurchase application period
>From February 3, 2005, until March 16, 2005 (applications must
arrive at the IRCJ on or before this date).

Note: The debt repurchase application period is a period
established for the purpose of consensus building between the
financial institutions concerned and the IRCJ in regard to debt
repurchase and the revitalization plan. This period is so named
because, where agreement is achieved in legal terms, the
financial institutions concerned apply to the IRCJ for debt
repurchase etc.

(5) Request for temporary cessation of demands for credit
repayment

Under Article 24, Clause 1 of the Industrial Revitalization
Corporation Act, financial institutions and other creditors of
Kamaya Ryokan have been requested not to recover loans or
exercise any other rights they may have as creditors before the
end of the debt repurchase application period as per item 5
above.

(6) Treatment of trade and other creditors

The decision to provide assistance concerns only the request for
financial support made to financial institutions in regard to
amounts lent to the assisted business and has no effect on the
claims of trade and other creditors.


SEIBU RAILWAY: Subordinates Stick Up for Boss
---------------------------------------------
The current heads of controversial Seibu Railway Company and
Kokudo Corporation have apologized for the Seibu group scandal,
but voiced loyalty toward their arrested boss, the Yomiuri
Shimbun relates.

Kokudo president Toshiyuki Ono said Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, who was
detained last week on suspicion of violating the Securities and
Exchange Law, was a very good business leader.

Seibu Railway Vice President Masao Ishibashi, in a separate
press conference, said Mr. Tsutsumi was "such a great person to
be arrested".

Mr. Tsutsumi was arrested Thursday over accusations that he
authorized the falsification of financial statements at Seibu
Railway Company.

Meanwhile, the two heads seemed confused over what to do now
that their boss is behind bars.

Mr. Ono said he accepted the restructuring plan for the Seibu
group after discussing it with other executives. But when
reporters asked why he had accepted the plan, Mr. Ono said, "I'm
sorry, but I made the decision without fully understanding the
situation."

But Mr. Ono gave assurance that the arrest would not affect the
restructuring plan.

TOSHIBA CORPORATION: To Quit SmartMedia Memory Card Business
------------------------------------------------------------
Toshiba Corporation is planning to stop manufacturing SmartMedia
memory cards this month, including those made for other
companies under OEM agreements, according to the Nihon Keizai
Shimbun.

The Japanese electronics manufacturer has been gradually
reducing the production of the cards, which are used for storage
in digital cameras and cellular phones, since July. It has
already notified digital camera makers and retailers of its
plans to exit quit the SmartMedia business.  Sales of the cards
will continue until stock runs out.

Some South Korean manufacturers are believed to be producing
SmartMedia memory cards, but Toshiba's output accounts for most
SmartMedia cards on the market today.

SmartMedia was developed in 1996, with Toshiba playing a leading
role.

In 2001, SmartMedia captured the top market share in the world.
But in 2004, among the six memory card standards for digital
cameras, including SD cards, Memory Stick and CompactFlash, SD
cards led the global market with a share of 40 pct, while
SmartMedia's worldwide market share that year is estimated at
around 1 percent.

DAEWOO HEAVY: Labor Union to Strike to Demand Job Security
----------------------------------------------------------
Unionized workers of Daewoo Heavy Industries & Machinery Ltd.
have set a partial strike on March 7, 12:00 p.m. to guarantee
that they will have jobs with new owner Doosan Heavy Industries
Co.

According to the union, workers will stage a walkout until
Doosan Heavy draws up a legally binding agreement to retain
Daewoo Heavy workers.

Daewoo Heavy separated from Daewoo Heavy Industries Co. when
parent Daewoo Group went bankrupt in 1999 under the weight of a
KRW80.36 trillion debt. Doosan Heavy acquired a 51% stake in
Daewoo Heavy last January for KRW1.89 trillion.

JINRO LIMITED: Bidders Wary of High Selling Price
-------------------------------------------------
The 12 bidders for Jinro Co., Ltd. estimated the Company's
valuation between KRW1.5 trillion and KRW2.5 trillion, but are
now wary of its latest valuation of KRW3.6 trillion by creditor
Goldman Sachs, reports the Korea Herald.

According to the U.S. investment fund, Jinro's valuation was
based on the Company's prior undisclosed tax credits, and its
improved operating environment.

Goldman Sachs is believed to be awaiting a better offer for
Jinro, with its latest selling price that was released ahead of
the March 30 deadline for submission of bids.

According to analyst Song ji-hyun, Goldman Sachs may be looking
for the highest possible price for Jinro, as it invested a lot
more into the Company compared to other creditors, and would
want a return on its investment.

Goldman Sachs was reported as saying that it needs to revise its
valuation, since the last time it was done was in April 2003,
and Jinro has since become stronger, with higher profit
potential. But industry analysts said the latest valuation needs
justification, as it is too high.

Among the 12 bidders, the four most aggressive domestic bidders
for Jinro are Lotte Chilsung Co. of Lotte Group, Doosan Corp.,
Hite Brewery Co., and CJ Corp., all major players in the
domestic food and beverage industry.

BACNOTAN CONSOLIDATED: Php4.09-Bln Profit Offsets Previous Loss
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bacnotan Consolidated's Php4.09-billion net profit in 2004 has
significantly offset a Php583.4-million loss in 2003, reports
Dow Jones Newswires.

The profit increase was attributed to a one-off gain from the
Company's divestment from a cement firm.

Last year, Bacnotan sold its direct stake in Union Cement
Holdings Corporation for US$89.4 million. Bacnotan's unit, Atlas
Cement Corp., also divested from Union Cement Holdings for
US$124.6 million.

Bacnotan reported in its financial statement a PHP5.9 billion
gain on sale of investments.

As a result of the one-time gain, Bacnotan declared a special
cash dividend of Php9 a share to shareholders on record March
31. The Php1.53 billion cash dividend will be paid April 18.

The Company said it is continuing to reinvest gains from its
recent divestment, with its board approving Friday the
additional equity infusion in an investment house and an
investment in a school in southern Philippines.

Bacnotan said it will infuse Php100 million into AB Capital and
Investment Corp., and will invest Php280 million in Cagayan de
Oro College Inc.

Earlier, the Company had increased investments in two property
development firms.

MANILA ELECTRIC: ERC Lauds Rate Reduction
-----------------------------------------
The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has praised the Manila
Electric Company (Meralco) for successfully improving the
dispatch of its independent power producers (IPPs), resulting to
a rate cut of 37.5 centavo per kilowatt-hour, reveals the
Philippine Star.

The ERC noted that the embattled power firm managed to dispatch
First Gas Power Corp.'s Sta. Rita natural gas-fired power plant
at higher than contracted level, thus, resulting in lower cost
of generation per kwh. Aside from Sta.Rita, the other IPPs of
Meralco are: San Lorenzo and Quezon Power Philippines Ltd.

ERC chairman Rodolfo Albano Jr. also noted that their new rules
on rate adjustment also facilitated Meralco's rate reduction.

Mr. Albano is urging other power distribution utilities to
follow Meralco's lead and look for ways to improve their rates
and makes their operations more efficient.

Meralco's customers will enjoy a 37.5-centavo per kwh reduction
in the generation charge in their March 2005 bills as the firm
sources more power from its IPPs.

NATIONAL POWER: Coal Plants Drive Output Up by 6.74% in 2004
------------------------------------------------------------
National Power Corporation (Napocor) has posted a 6.74% increase
in power output in 2004, reports Business World.

In a statement, the power firm said its gross generation rose to
41,548 gigawatt-hours (GWh) last year from 38,926 GWh in 2003.

Napocor attributed the rise to its coal-fired plants, which
contributed the biggest share to total generation at 31.76
percent, up slightly than the 2003 figure of 31 percent. The
power firm also noted production of its coal facilities
increased year on year from 12,067.33 GWh to 13,193.67 GWh.
Geothermal plants for its part accounted for 24.75 percent or
10,281.55 GWh, slightly lower than the 25.23 percent share or
9,822.44 GWh output recorded in 2003.

The share of hydroelectric plants in the generation mix stood at
20.51 percent or 8,520.83 GWh last year, up from 20.07 percent
in 2003, when the generation of hydro plants was recorded at
7,812.95 GWh, Napocor said.

The production of oil-based power plants reached 13.17 percent
or 5,471.69 GWh of the gross generation, considerably higher
than the 2003 figure of 12.12 percebt or 4,718.05 GWh. Finally,
natural gas accounted for 9.82% or 4,079.78 GWh, down from the
year-ago figure of 11.57% or 4,505.05 GWh.

On a per-region basis, Napocor said Luzon accounted for the
biggest share of the gross generation at 65.44 percent or
27,188.41 Gwh. The Visayas grid contributed 17.74 percent or
7,370.93 GWh, while Mindanao reported a 16.82 percent share or
6,988.41 GWh. The mix refers to the proportion of the fuel types
that Napocor uses to run its plants.

Napocor said that over the years it has been shifting from
thermal fuels like diesel and fuel oil to indigenous fuels like
natural gas, hydro and geothermal in order to reduce the
country's dependence on imported oil.

NATIONAL STEEL: Global Steel May Fail to Get Sovereign Guarantee
----------------------------------------------------------------
Global Steelworks Infrastructure Inc. (GSII) may not get a
sovereign guarantee for the loan it intends to secure from a
foreign bank to fund its takeover of the financially distressed
National Steel Corporation (NSC), The Manila Times reports.

Global Steel's plan to secure a guarantee from the government
for its loan is becoming vague as the Department of Trade and
Industry (DTI) appears not convinced of the Company's
justification in seeking the guarantee.

Through the Philippine Export-Import Credit Agency, the Indian-
owned firm is requesting the government to grant it a guarantee
for the US$20-million loan it plans to borrow from an offshore
lender.

The firm intends to use the fund to pay its original loan from
one of its suppliers, the Stemcor (SEA) Pte. Ltd. through the
Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. based in Singapore,
which is already set to mature.

The original Php1-billion loan was used by Global Steel to pay
its creditor banks led by the Philippine National Bank as part
of the National Steel's take over.

DTI Secretary Juan B. Santos, meanwhile, said he is still
reviewing the Global Steel's petition and will make public his
decision in a month's time.

National Steel was shut down in 1999 due to massive losses
resulting from cutthroat competition. Global Steel won the
tender for National Steel's takeover and was required to buy the
facility at Php13.25 billion with an initial capital of Php1
billion. The remaining amount will be payable for eight years.

CHINA AVIATION (S): Contests Claim of SK Energy
-----------------------------------------------
China Aviation Oil (Singapore) Corporation Ltd advised the
Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) that on March 4, 2005, it was
served a Judicial Management Petition filed in the Singapore
High Court by SK Energy Asia Pte Ltd.

The Company has sought legal advice and is of the view that
there are good legal grounds to dismiss or stay the judicial
management petition.

The Company is of the view that judicial management is not in
the interests of any stakeholder, whether creditor, minority
shareholders, potential new investor, the Company or its parent
Company. In this case, it is certain that judicial management
will lead to the liquidation of the Company, rather than
"benefit debt negotiations", as SK Energy wrongly believes.

Hence under judicial management (which will lead to liquidation
in this case), the recovery for creditors will be very low
relative to restructuring, while shareholders will recover
nothing in liquidation. The Company strongly believes that debt
restructuring under the proposed Scheme is the best way forward
for all, creditors and shareholders alike.

Pending the hearing of the judicial management petition, the
Company will continue to work hard on the debt restructuring
process. The Company has prepared certain financial and other
information that has been distributed to creditors and will be
engaging creditors in further discussions on the proposed
Scheme. To date, the Company has also taken the feedback it has
been receiving from creditors seriously and has given such
feedback due consideration.

The Company believes that the restructuring process has the
support of the majority of the creditors and shareholders of the
Company, who are rational and realistic about the situation that
the Company is in. It is therefore in the interest of these
creditors and shareholders that the Company intends to
vigorously contest the judicial management petition in the High
Court, so that the legitimate interests and rights of the
majority will not be adversely prejudiced.

GREATRONIC LIMITED: Replies to SGX Query
----------------------------------------
With reference to the queries from the Singapore Exchange
Securities Trading Limited (SGXST) regarding Greatronic
Limited's SGX announcement 00097 dated March 3, 2005 on
"Application For Extension of Time to Announce Financial Results
for the Full Year ended December 31, 2004", the Company would
like to provide the following clarification on the factors
contributing to our `Profit Warning'.

(1) The losses reassigned from a shareholder of a subsidiary
Company pertain to a deed of assignment of earnings dated 22
April 2003, whereby the other shareholder of Greatronic
Technology (M) Sdn Bhd (GTM) assigns his rights to 70% of the
earnings of GTM to the Company. During the second half of the
year ended December 31, 2004, GTM made a net loss.

Consequently, the Company recognized the other shareholder's 70%
share of the net loss of GTM. This reassignment of losses from
the other shareholder of GTM is negated by the amount of GTM's
net loss attributable to this minority shareholder.

(2) On review, the Company would like to clarify that the larger
losses in the second half of the year compared to the first half
are due mainly to an increase in provisions for slow moving
stocks, an increase in depreciation charges and a larger loss on
disposal of fixed assets.

(3) The increase in provision for slow moving stocks is due to
the Company adopting a new policy to provide for slow moving
stocks in addition to providing for obsolete stocks. Other than
the possible full provision for the sum of $1.3 million
receivables from Greatlink Electronics Germany and Greatlink
International Inc., USA, the Company would like to clarify that
there was no increase in provision for doubtful debts.

GREATRONIC LIMITED: Auditor Presents Interim Report
---------------------------------------------------
The Audit Committee (AC) of Greatronic Limited advised the
Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) that further to the announcements
made on February 27 and 28, 2005, the Company's Auditors, Ernst
& Young (EY) have presented their interim report on the
transactions which gave rise to the S$1.3 million outstanding
receivables in the Company's subsidiary, Greatronic Technology
(M) Sdn Bhd (GTM).

EY have found that certain critical supporting documents for the
transactions are not or no longer available in GTM and have been
unable to obtain confirmation from overseas counterparties. As
a result, at this point of the investigation, EY are unable to
substantiate the allegation that the outstanding receivables
arose from inflated prices intended to show higher profits for
GTM.

Further, EY have found that certain receivables from Greatlink
Electronics Germany GmbH had been settled in October 2004 by way
of set-off against amounts payable to an overseas supplier.
EY have not been able to sight documentary evidence supporting
the right of set-off amounting to approximating S$1,462,000. In
the event the right of set-off is refuted, receivables and
payables will be increased by S$1,462,000, and an assessment
would have to be made on the recoverability of the receivables
at that time.

Notwithstanding the on-going investigation by EY, the AC has
received contradictory assertions of the transactions from Mr.
Lim Kok Koon (Mr. Lim), a Director and the Chief Executive
Officer, and Mr. Huang Ming Lang @ Max Huang (Mr. Huang), a
Director and the Chairman of the Company.

On 3 March 2005, Mr. Lim wrote to the AC to categorically deny
the allegation on his part to inflate prices to show higher
profits for GTM. Mr. Lim now says that the outstanding
receivables were genuine transactions made in the ordinary
course of business and the reason for non-payment is because of
"personal disputes" between Mr. Huang and him. Notwithstanding
the new assertion made by Mr. Lim, the AC stands by its
announcements made on February 27 and 28.

Separately, on 4 March 2005, Mr. Huang in a tele-conversation
with the AC and EY, said that the transactions in question were
not genuine.

Based on the current findings of EY and the contradictory
assertions made by Mr. Lim and Mr. Huang, the AC has decided
that a full provision of the sum of S$1.3 million will be
recorded in the Group's profit and loss account for the year
ended 31 December 2004. Nonetheless, the Company will vigorously
pursue the recovery of the outstanding amount of S$1.3 million.
