COMMUNITY ACCOMMODATION: Placed in Administrators' Hands
--------------------------------------------------------
After suffering a string of complex problems, Community
Accommodation Support Agency (CASA) called in administrators to
manage its affairs, according to ABC Premium News.

CASA wound up its Mount Gambier and Kingston operations earlier
this month after telling the Government it could no longer meet
the requirements of its intellectual disability service
agreement. The winding up resulted in the loss of 15 jobs.

Administrator Tim Burfield from Ernst and Young is now preparing
a review of assets and employee claims for a creditors meeting
scheduled at the end of this month. At the said meeting,
creditors will have to decide whether to return CASA to the
control of the board, to enter into a deed of Company
arrangement if one is proposed or for CASA to go into
liquidation.

"I would expect at this stage that CASA would go into
liquidation," Mr. Burfield said.

HIH INSURANCE: APRA Disqualifies 20th Exec
------------------------------------------
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has
announced the disqualification of Mr. George Osvald Sturesteps
from being or acting as a director or senior manager of a
general insurer under the Insurance Act 1973.

Mr. Sturesteps, over a long period, held various senior
positions in HIH Insurance Ltd (HIH) and its predecessor
companies, including Managing Director International from the
end of 1988, Executive Director from June 1992, Deputy Chief
Executive Officer from 1995. He was also a member of HIH's
reinsurance committee.

APRA found that Mr. Sturesteps demonstrated a lack of knowledge,
competence or diligence in carrying out his duties by

(1) In 1997 and 1998, arranging for HIH to enter into `fronting'
transactions where cover written for film finance for a total of
29 films was 100 per cent reinsured with Re AC and its
subsidiary Monde Re without adequate due diligence or risk
assessment. This resulted in HIH being exposed to significant
liability risk and ultimately incurring substantial losses;

(2) In 2000, failing to take steps to ensure that the HIH board
and its external auditors were informed of the contents of a
March 2000 report from US consulting actuaries Milliman and
Robertson that concluded that HIH America - which conducted
workers compensation business in California - was under-
provisioned by around US$53 million.

APRA's Deputy Chairman, Mr. Ross Jones, said that the regulator
expects the senior management of authorized insurers to ensure
that underwriting processes are rigorous and prudent, and that
boards and auditors are kept fully informed about matters likely
to affect the insurer's financial position.


HIH INSURANCE: Lies Put Adler Behind Bars
-----------------------------------------
Mr. Jeffrey Lucy, Chairman of the Australian Securities and
Investments Commission (ASIC), on Thursday announced that Mr.
Rodney Adler, a former director of HIH Insurance Limited (HIH),
has been sentenced to four-and-a-half years' jail, with a non-
parole period of two-and-a-half years, on four charges arising
from his conduct as a director of the HIH group of companies in
2000.

"ASIC is fully satisfied and believes this sentence
appropriately serves the public interest, and reflects the
serious nature of the charges on which Mr. Adler has been
convicted," Mr. Lucy said.

"The custodial sentence handed to Mr. Adler sends a clear
message to corporate Australia that ASIC, the community and the
Courts will not tolerate criminal behavior against the interests
of shareholders.

"Mr. Adler was in a position of trust as a director of HIH but
he put his own financial interests before the interests of HIH
shareholders.

"The law is very clear, company directors must act honestly and
in the best interests of shareholders. The sentence delivered by
Justice Dunford shows how the courts will deal with directors
who fail to uphold their legal duty," Mr. Lucy said.

In sentencing, Justice Dunford said:

The offences are serious and display an appalling lack of
commercial morality.Directors are not appointed to advance their
own interests but to manage the company for the benefit of its
shareholders to whom they owe fiduciary duties.They were not
stupid errors of judgment but deliberate lies, criminal and in
breach of his fiduciary duties to HIH as a director.

"It is in the public interest that time and resources are saved
by defendants pleading guilty early and, as required, the judge
has recognized this in the sentence. He also recognized that
these types of matters are notoriously difficult to investigate
and successfully prosecute," Mr. Lucy said.

"ASIC would like to thank the Commonwealth Director of Public
Prosecutions, who has worked closely with ASIC's HIH Taskforce
and prosecuted this matter in the courts," he said.

Mr. Adler was sentenced after pleading guilty on 16 February
2005 to four criminal charges:

(1) Two counts of disseminating information on 19 and 20 June
respectively, knowing it was false in a material particular and
which was likely to induce the purchase by other persons of
shares in HIH contrary to s999 Corporations Act 2001

(2) One count of obtaining money by false or misleading
statements, contrary to s178BB Crimes Act 1900 (NSW)

(3) One count of being intentionally dishonest and failing to
discharge his duties as a director of HIH in good faith and in
the best interests of that company contrary to s184(1)(b)
Corporations Act 2001.

Background

The sentencing of Mr. Adler follows ASIC's successful civil
penalty proceedings against him, which were commenced in 2001
and resulted in him being:

(1) Disqualified from acting as a director of any company for 20
years

(2) Ordered to pay compensation jointly with Adler Corporation
Pty Limited and Mr. Ray Williams of approximately $7 million,
and

(3) Ordered to pay a pecuniary penalty of $450,000. Adler
Corporation Pty Limited was also ordered to pay a pecuniary
penalty of $450,000.

ASIC's HIH investigation has already led to criminal
prosecutions of 9 former senior executives, including directors,
of FAI, HIH and associated entities on 31 Corporations and
Crimes Act charges. These criminal prosecutions include:

(1) On 23 December 2003, Mr. William Howard, a former General
Manager of HIH Insurance Limited, was sentenced to three years
imprisonment, fully suspended on the basis of on-going
assistance to the HIH investigation. Mr. Howard had pleaded
guilty to two counts of criminal misconduct, namely that he
dishonestly received from Mr. Brad Cooper approximately $124,000
in return for facilitating payments by HIH directly or
indirectly in favor of Mr. Cooper. Mr. Howard also admitted
facilitating a payment of $737,000 to a company associated with
Mr. Cooper knowing that the payment obligation had already been
discharged.

(2) On 22 October 2004, Mr. Bradley Cooper was committed for
trial on six charges of corruptly giving a cash benefit to
influence an agent of HIH Insurance Limited, namely Mr. Howard,
and seven charges of publishing a false or misleading statement
with intent to obtain financial advantage. The trial is set down
to commence on 1 August 2005.

(3) On 20 April 2004, Mr. Charles Abbott, the former Deputy
Chairman of HIH Insurance Limited, was charged with dishonestly
using his position as a company director. The committal hearing
is set down to commence on 30 May 2005.

(4) On 19 July 2004, Mr. Timothy Maxwell Mainprize was committed
for trial on charges of failing to act honestly in the exercise
of his powers and discharge of his duties as an officer of FAI
General Insurance Company Limited. He was also committed on one
count of providing false and misleading information. His trial
is set down to commence on 5 September 2005.

(5) On 19 July 2004, Mr. Daniel Wilkie was committed for trial
on charges of failing to act honestly in the exercise of his
powers and discharge of his duties as an officer of FAI General
Insurance Company Limited. He was also committed on one count of
providing false and misleading information. His trial is set
down to commence on 5 September 2005.

(6) On 19 July 2004, Mr. Stephen Burroughs was committed for
trial on charges of failing to act honestly in the exercise of
his powers and discharge of his duties as an officer of FAI
General Insurance Company Limited.

(7) On 15 December 2004 Mr. Ray Williams pleaded guilty to three
charges, namely of failing to properly exercise his duties as
company director by signing a misleading letter to FAI Note
Holders, giving investors misleading information in the HIH
1998-99 Annual Report and omitting information from a prospectus
to raise up to $155 million for the takeover of FAI. Mr.
Williams is to be sentenced on Friday 15 April 2005.

(8) On 24 March 2005 Mr. Terry Cassidy pleaded guilty to two
charges of recklessly making false statements and one charge of
recklessly failing to discharge his duties as a director for a
proper purpose. There will be a sentencing hearing commencing on
19 April 2005.

JAMES HARDIE: Former Boss Tops Up Payout
----------------------------------------
A former James Hardie Industries chief has added to his
controversial AU$8.8 million resignation payout by cashing in
some options over share in the troubled building products
manufacturer, Sydney Morning Herald reports.

Peter Macdonald on Wednesday converted 100,000 options into
shares by paying James Hardie AU$3.18 each and made instant
profit of AU$290,000. He holds a further 1.1 million options
exercisable at the same price, which would deliver a profit of
AU$3.2 million.

One of the terms when James Hardie granted the options in 1999
was that the company would cancel them if Mr. Macdonald did not
exercise them within six months of his departure as an employee.

Mr. Macdonald resigned as chief executive on October 22 in the
wake of a scandal about James Hardie's AU$2 billion underfunding
of asbestos compensation. His AU$8.8 million payout, which
included severance pay, superannuation, bonuses from past years
and accrued leave, was criticized by politicians, union leaders
and asbestos support groups.

When the sum was disclosed in October, negotiations to ensure
future funding for sufferers of asbestos diseases were
unresolved.

KNIGHTS INSOLVENCY: Trading Halt Fuels Speculation
--------------------------------------------------
The temporary suspension of shares of Knights Insolvency
Administration has fueled rumors that a U.S.-based firm was keen
on buying a stake in the ailing Company of liquidators, Courier
Mail reports.

Knights, which sells off or revives troubled companies, refused
to comment on any speculation but said an announcement would be
released soon.

Knights Chief Operating Officer Grant Murphy cited three options
the firm would probably take to rescue its business. One option
would be another company taking a stake. The Company could also
continue trading by itself following a restructure. The third
option to wind down the Company "was not discussed at all".

The struggling company recently hit headlines as the Australian
Securities and Investments Commission investigates accounts
following a sudden loss for the half year of AU$3 million.

Last month, Knights opted to retain the services of high-profile
turnaround expert Ian Ferrier of rival Ferrier Hodgson to help
resolve its current woes.

MITSUBISHI AUSTRALIA: Extends Recall of Magna, Verada Sedans
------------------------------------------------------------
Mitsubishi Motors Australia has recalled additional vehicles to
fix a potential problem that could lead to a fuel leak,
according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

The embattled carmaker has extended a recall of thousands of
Magna and Verada sedans and wagons to include cars built as
early as April 28, 1999. Last year, the Company issued the
recall on cars built between Nov. 3, 1999 and Aug. 21, 2002.

Mitsubishi said there was a possibility that the silencer pad in
the engine bay might retain moisture, which may result in
corrosion and eventual perforation of the fuel pipe causing a
fuel leak.

Mitsubishi advised owners of cars affected by the recall to
contact a dealer to arrange to have the fuel pipe inspected and
replaced if necessary.

MULTIPLEX: Eyes U.S. Retail Portfolio
-------------------------------------
Multiplex Group Limited is in talks to buy a portfolio of retail
assets in the United States reportedly worth AU$1 billion,
Sydney Morning Herald says.

The Company said it was holding discussions with a U.S. REIT
(real estate investment trust) regarding a possible transaction
involving a portfolio of retail assets within the U.S. The
announcement confirmed reports that the group was eyeing a
portfolio of nearly 100 shopping centers in the United States
from New Plan Excel.

In a separate deal, Multiplex admitted that it was looking at
selling assets in Multiplex Property Trust, rumored to be key
buildings in Sydney and Melbourne worth a total of more than
AU$465 million.

Multiplex made the comment in response to a report in the
Australian Financial Review, which suggested Multiplex would
divest two trophy assets such as its 222 Exhibition Street
building in Melbourne and part of its World Square development
in Sydney to investment company Allco Finance Group.

ASIA PULP: Denies Illegal Logging Accusations
---------------------------------------------
In a ceremony held by paper firm Sinar Mas Asia Pulp and Paper-
China (APP), students from 12 universities staged a protest
against the firm, accusing the firm of destroying forest
resources in southern China, the China Business Weekly reports.

Environmental protection group Greenpeace, which has urged
students to boycott APP products, has asked APP to admit its
mistakes and to stop illegal logging of China's forests.

But APP dismissed the accusations, saying that it would improve
the forest coverage rate in China, specifically in Hainan
province, by 2%. The Company has a new pulp plant in Hainan.
Company president Teguh Ganda Wijaya says that they are doing
nothing wrong, they are planting their raw materials like
eucalyptus, and are also promoting the paper-making industry in
China.

APP's Hainan plant has an annual capacity of 1 million tons of
pulp, and this would lessen the need to import pulp from other
countries, said Qian Guijing, chairman of the China Paper
Association.

Greenpeace alleges that APP's plant in Hainan needs to consume a
large amount of timber, and that the existing forest being
planted by the Company would not be enough to meet demand. The
group has also said that eucalyptus has diverse affects on local
plants, creating an imbalance in the environment.

The Company argues that it has a long-term plan to meet demand
for eucalyptus, and that the provincial government approved its
plan to plant around 200,000 hectares of eucalyptus to maintain
sustainable growth. It would also import timber from Indonesia.

Hainan Governor Wei Liucheng has said that APP hasn't polluted
or destroyed the province's natural resources, and has in fact
put CNY2.4 billion into environment protection. But he said that
the method of tree planting in Hainan needs improvement.

APP is applying for a certificate of Forestry Stewardship
Council, which promotes the responsible management of the
world's forests, and hopes to receive the certificate within the
year.

PERTAMINA: SC Wants Two Appeals to Be Heard in One Court
--------------------------------------------------------
The Supreme Court has said that the two separate appeals filed
by state-owned PT Pertamina and its business partners against a
KPPU ruling should be tried in one court if they appeal about
the same case, reports the Jakarta Post.

The first hearing of an appeal against the ruling by the
Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) was to be
heard last week, but was delayed since Pertamina, Frontline Ltd.
and consultant Goldman Sachs filed appeals in different courts.

According to Chief Justice Bagir Manan, the Supreme Court would
decide whether all appeals were filed in one court, but the
courts involved must send a request letter, which the Supreme
Court has not yet received.

KPPU lawyer David M.L. Tobing agreed with the Chief Justice,
saying it would be more efficient and less time consuming.

The first court session to hear the appeal of Frontline Ltd.,
which was scheduled on April 13, was postponed as the KPPU had
not submitted investigation papers to the court.

According to Mr. Tobing, the KPPU had sent a request to the
Supreme Court to combine together all the appeals, and was
waiting for approval from the court. In another hearing, judge
Agus Subroto also delayed the first session on Pertamina's
appeal.

Pertamina, Goldman Sachs, Frontline Ltd. and PT Equinox were
found guilty by the KPPU of violating laws on monopolies and
unfair business competition in the sale of two Very Large Crude
Carrier tankers last year. Goldman Sachs, Frontline and Equinox
were ordered to pay fines to shareholders and the government.

TELEKOMUNIKASI INDONESIA: Satellite Launch Faces Another Delay
--------------------------------------------------------------
PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia has postponed yet again the launch
of its new satellite, Telkom-2, from April 14 to mid-June, as it
awaits the completion of its "co-passenger", reports the Jakarta
Post.

According to Company President Director Kristiono, the launch
would use a dual-passenger spacecraft, and Telkom-2's co-
passenger is the Syracuse IIA from the French Defense Ministry,
which is still being completed. The satellite launch has been
postponed more than four times already.

Telkom-2, which costs around IDR1.17 trillion in construction
and launching expenses, was scheduled to launch from French
Guyana, to replace the Company's Palapa B4 satellite. The new
satellite is intended to improve network quality and to benefit
from the increased use of satellites in Asia.

The Company's Palapa B4 satellite was due for replacement in
2001 after 9 years in orbit; but the Company decided to let it
stay on, saying that the loss is negligible as compared to the
income generated from leasing it out.

Executive Officer.

The appointments of the two are expected to be formalized after
approval by the companies' shareholders at their general meeting
in May.

DAIEI INCORPORATED: Opens First Outlet Under New Management
-----------------------------------------------------------
Troubled supermarket chain operator Daiei Incorporated opened
its first outlet in Osaka on Thursday after it gained
shareholders' approval for its entire management reshuffle,
Kyodo News reports.

The new outlet, specialized in food goods, is expected to serve
as a test of its reconstruction scheme that puts more value on
foodstuffs rather than on a wide range of products.


DAIKYO GROUP: IRCJ Receives Debt Payment in Full
------------------------------------------------
The Industrial Revitalization Committee of the Industrial
Revitalization Corporation of Japan (the IRCJ) has approved the
receipt of repayment in full for debt the IRCJ had purchased
from financial institutions as part of a business revitalization
plan for Daikyo Group and associated companies (Daikyo Group).

The payment received by the IRCJ means that it no longer holds
any debt or other obligations of Daikyo Group.

1. Name of company concerned

Daikyo Incorporated
Daikyo Kanri Incorporated
Daikyo Jutaku Ryutsu Incorporated
Okinawa Daikyo Incorporated

2. Process to date

On September 28, 2004 the IRCJ approved an application for
assistance by Daikyo Group under Article 22, Clause 3 of the
Industrial Revitalization Corporation Act of 2003. On
November 26 of the same year, under Article 25, Clause 1 of the
same act, the IRCJ reached agreement with financial institutions
on the purchase of this company's debts.

Following this, a sponsor (Orix Corporation) was selected
according to the revitalization plan.

On January 31, 2005, Orix completed a capital alliance contract
with Daikyo Group, and on March 25, 2005 Daikyo Group made a
third-party allocation of shares to Orix.

3. Amount of debt

The principal value of Daikyo Group's debt purchased from
financial institutions by the IRCJ was JPY84,771 million*, for
which the IRCJ paid JPY56,588 million. JPY27,075 million of the
principal value of the debt was handled in a debt forgiveness
scheme according to the revitalization plan. With respect to the
remaining JPY57,696 million of debt held by the IRCJ, the
payment of JPY22,181 million received today means that the
amount of Daikyo Group debt owing to the IRCJ has now been paid
in full.

*Note: The difference between the amount of debt to be purchased
as announced at the time of the decision to purchase and the
final amount purchased is due to payments received, such as
those from the sale of real estate collateral.

4. Comment from the state ministers in charge of the Industrial
Revitalization Corporation of Japan

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.

to thrive because of excessive debt levels or other factors. The
IRCJ has approximately 200 employees and is based in Tokyo. For

JAPAN AIRLINES: Transport Ministry to Inspect Offices
-----------------------------------------------------
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will inspect
the headquarters and offices of Japan Airlines (JAL) at Narita
and Haneda airports from April 20 to April 22 to check if safety
measures are being carried out thoroughly, Dow Jones reports.

Among JAL's recent mishaps were air traffic control violations
at Shin Chitose Airport in Hokkaido, northern Japan and Incheon
Airport in Korea, as well as the use of inappropriate parts in a
Boeing 747 freighter's landing gear.

The airline said the mishaps occurred due to a drop in safety
awareness. It also cited a lack of communication between
management and front offices in merging the operations of the
former Japan Airlines Co. and Japan Air System Co. since October
2002.

MITSUKOSHI LIMITED: Posts JPY4.07 Bln Loss Due to Store Closures
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mitsukoshi Limited posted a group net loss of JPY4.07 billion
($37.8 million) for the year ended February 28, citing losses
related to store closures and job cuts, the Wall Street Journal
reports.

Store closure contributed a loss of JPY12.9 billion, while its
early retirement offers to 1,000 workers caused another loss
totaling JPY16.6 billion.

For the six months ending in February 29, 2004, the department
store operator posted a group net profit of JPY6.71 billion.

In a bid to turn its fortunes around, Mitsukoshi plans to close
three large department stores in Osaka, Yokohama and Kurashiki
in western Japan by May, and has already shut six small stores
in other locations across Japan.

The company has said the move will eliminate loss-making stores
and leave the company with profitable outlets.

SANYO ELECTRIC: Enters Alliance With IBM Japan
----------------------------------------------
IBM (NYSE:IBM) and Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd. on Tuesday unveiled
initial plans for a prototype micro direct methanol fuel cell
system for IBM ThinkPad notebooks. Leveraging SANYO's latest
advancements in fuel cells that increase the longevity of
notebook batteries, IBM and SANYO jointly developed a basic
design of a fuel cell power source. Based on the design, the
companies developed a prototype fuel cell system that could
supply up to 8 hours of power per cartridge on current and
future ThinkPad models.

Unlike other prototypes that require a modified design to outfit
fuel cell batteries, SANYO's system was designed to be
compatible with most current ThinkPad models (1) without the
need to alter the notebook design -- demonstrating the
resiliency of the ThinkPad notebook's internal power
architecture. The fuel cell system also includes an auxiliary
bay IBM's Ultrabay Slim Battery to supplement peak power
consumption for business applications. In addition, the
auxiliary bay could be used to make the power supply even more
versatile by charging an Ultrabay Slim Battery.

The fuel cell system could enable ThinkPad notebooks to run
intensive business applications such as multimedia, graphics and
computation programs, while performing tasks such as security
updates and scheduled maintenance without draining PC battery
power. These capabilities could provide added stability for
increased productivity, access to information and customer
service.

"There are a number of vendors developing fuel cell battery
prototypes for PCs and mobile devices, but the combination of
IBM's first-class ThinkPad notebooks and SANYO's leadership
position in the technology will accelerate research and
development in the field," said Peter Hortensius, vice
president, IBM Personal Computing Division. "We do not focus
simply on the 'wow factor' of fuel cells -- we see it as a
powerful enabler that could support a wide variety of business
applications. These companies are collaborating to help carry
ThinkPad notebooks to the next generation of power supplies,
while supporting the highest levels of business productivity."

The IBM PC Division's ThinkPad development team has focused on
new behavioral usage models for fuel cells in mobile computing,
such as docking stations used for office 'hoteling' concepts and
the deployment of notebook computers in locations remote from
traditional power sources.

"SANYO, as the world technology leader in rechargeable
batteries, has been conducting research and development of fuel
cells. I am proud to work in earnest specifically with IBM to
create a innovative fuel cell system with the ThinkPad design,
the industry standard in business computing," said Mitsuru
Homma, Group Executive of SANYO's Power Solutions Group. "This
is quite a new concept that utilizes both micro fuel cells and
rechargeable batteries. This hybrid system could enable the user
to efficiently operate IBM's ThinkPad notebooks for a longer
time compared to systems with only a fuel cell while also
providing the convenience of an AC cordless environment."

The IBM PC Division's research and development of ThinkPad
mobile computing technology takes place at the Yamato Laboratory
in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan and at development facilities in
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. After the launch of the
new Lenovo Group in the second quarter, 2005, these resources
will be joined by Lenovo R&D facilities in Beijing and Shanghai.

SANYO is the world's leading producer of rechargeable batteries,
supplying power to mobile phones, notebook PCs and other mobile
devices. SANYO's Energy Research Facility is a stronghold for
research and development in the mobile energy field. SANYO is
building a strong base for the next generation of mobile energy
businesses by consistently performing fundamental and
application technology research, working with a wide range of
mobile energy related technology.

About IBM ThinkPad

IBM ThinkPad notebook PCs have won more than 1,000 industry
awards. Soon to join the Lenovo Group, IBM ThinkPad notebook and
ThinkCentre desktop personal computers utilizing ThinkVantage
Technologies are available through a combined worldwide
distribution and sales network spanning 160 countries. For more
information, see www.ibm.com/thinkpad.

cell design is viewable at:

HYNIX SEMIXONDUCTOR: To Raise KRW2 Trillion to Repay Debt
---------------------------------------------------------
Creditors allowed Hynix Semiconductor Inc. to raise KRW2
trillion in syndicated loans and shares issuance in order to
repay its debts, reports Agence France Presse.

The Company would raise KRW1.25 trillion through syndicated
domestic loans, while KRW750 billion would come from an overseas
shares issuance, according to main creditor Korea Exchange Bank.

Around KRW1.5 trillion of the proceeds would go to repaying the
Company's debts, while the remaining KRW500 billion would be
used to fund operations.

The agreement, which is part of a debt workout program for the
Company, needs to be approved by other creditors by April 20,
2005.

Hynix Semiconductor was rescued from bankruptcy by creditors
with a KRW3.2 trillion bailout package. Creditors now own 81% of
the Company. Once Hynix graduates from its debt workout program
(scheduled before the due date in 2006), creditors can sell
their stake in the Company.

The Company was able to turn around in 2004 with a rise in
shipments of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips, and
posted an operating profit of KRW2.02 trillion last year, with
sales increasing 58% up to KRW6.09 trillion.

PUNCAK NIAGA: Seeks Shareholder Approval of Shares Buyback
----------------------------------------------------------
Puncak Niaga Holdings Berhad proposed on April 13 to buy back
10% of its shares and sought that its controlling shareholder be
excused from making a mandatory general offer (MGO) as a result
of the share buyback, reports The Star.

The Company had informed Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad that
it could buy 8.5% of its paid-up capital, or 39.1 million
shares, if the shares buyback is based on a five-day weighted
average market price of MYR2.58/share. But if the share price
amounts to/is lower than MYR2.19/share, then the company could
buy 10% of its shares, or 46.1 million shares.

If the Company is able to buy back 10% if its shares, it
necessitates a MGO requirement, as controlling stakeholder
Central Plus Sdn Berhad's shareholding would rise from 41.1% to
46.1%, which is above the maximum allowed threshold (2% increase
within 6 months) for share acquisitions by a controlling
stakeholder to avoid making a mandatory general offer. This is
why the Company seeks that Central Plus Sdn Berhad be cleared
from making the MGO.

COLLEGE ASSURANCE: SEC Exec Backs Actuarial Liabilities Changes
---------------------------------------------------------------
An official at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
supports College Assurance Plans (CAP) in its lobby for changes
in the actuarial treatment of pre-need trust funds, relates The
Philippine Star.

SEC Associate Commissioner Jesus Martinez wrote a letter to the
Senate, saying the Pre-need Uniform Chart of Accountants (PNUCA)
that the SEC had formulated may not be an effective way of
ensuring the true financial health of pre-need companies.

The PNUCA requires the setting up of an expense in the income
statement of a pre-need company and a liability account called
Actuarial Reserve Liability (ARL) in its balance sheet. The ARL
represents the accrued net liabilities of the pre-need company
to its planholders as determined and certified by an actuary
accredited by the SEC.

Mr. Martinez said the setting up of the ARL in the pre-need
company's balance sheet is contrary to International Accounting
Standards (IAS) 39 that requires the concurrence of three
conditions for an expense and a liability to be reflected in the
income statement and balance sheet of the pre-need company.

Mr. Martinez claim the IAS 39 is a sufficient gauge in
determining the true financial position of pre-need companies.

Under IAS 39, financial liability actually increases over time
as maturity of the pre-need product approaches. The increment
is, in turn, based on the effective interest rate that exactly
discounts the estimated future cashflows through the expected
life of the financial instrument.

MAYNILAD WATER: Two Creditors Cash in Receivables
-------------------------------------------------
Two creditors of Maynilad Water Services Inc. moved to sell
their receivables in the financially distressed water
concessionaire, Business World reports.

Chinatrust (Philippines) Commercial Bank Corp. and Barclays Bank
Plc. have cashed in on their exposure at a 20 percent discount
even before the courts could approve Maynilad's rehabilitation
plan.

Chinatrust sold its US$5-million Maynilad exposure to New York-
based fund manager Avenue Asia Investments L.P. for US$4
million, while Barclays was said to have turned over its claim
to Deutsche Bank. Barclays was among the consortium of bank that
provided a US$100-million bridge financing to Maynilad, while
Chinatrust was one of 13 guarantors of the US$120-million
performance bond that the water firm issued in favor of state-
run Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS).

Bank creditors had earlier questioned Maynilad's proposal to
force them to enter into a debt-to-equity swap, saying they
would rather wait for the Company to recover. By opting to exit,
the lenders effectively showed their unwillingness to wait for
between seven and eight years for Maynilad's debts to be paid.

Maynilad expects to obtain court approval of its revival program
by the end of the month.

NATIONAL BANK: Stake Auction to Kick Off in June
------------------------------------------------
The government expects to bid out by June two-thirds of a
combined 90-percent shareholding in the Philippine National Bank
(PNB), Business World says.

The joint technical committee in charge of the stake sale is
looking to finalize PNB's valuation by May and proceed with the
tender a month after.

The committee is in the process of picking an entity that will
be responsible for conducting an independent valuation of PNB
and scout potential investors in the bank. The candidates are
Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, ING Bank, Macquarie
Securities and UBS Investment Bank.

Lucio Tan group would have to be notified once the floor price
is set. Mr. Tan's group, in turn, may signify its intention to
exercise its right to first offer as provided for under the 2002
joint sale agreement. This means the group can match the price
of whoever will win the public bidding or will be compelled to
buy 67 percent of the combined stake in case the bidding fails.

The 67 percent involves at least Php45 million common shares of
the national government, Php140.8 million preferred shares of
the deposit insurer and Php186 million shares for the Lucio Tan
group.

The government expects to reap as much as Php15 billion from the
shares sale, which should be completed before September 16 when
the government's joint sale deal with Mr. Tan expires.

NATIONAL POWER: Nine Firms Eye Calaca Power Plant
-------------------------------------------------
Nine foreign and local firms are looking to purchase National
Power Corporation's (Napocor) Calaca power plant, The Philippine
Daily Inquirer reveals.

The 600-megawatt coal-fired facility in Batangas is the second
major asset to be placed on the auction block since the start of
Napocor's privatization.

The nine companies have submitted letters of intent expressing
their interest in the Calaca plant, said Froilan Tampinco, vice
president for asset management and electricity trading at Power
Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (PSALM).

PSALM, the agency handling Napocor's privatization, has set the
deadline for submission of bids on May 18.

Cash-strapped Napocor warned last week its debts could balloon
be nearly 50 percent to US$15.9 billion in the next two years if
its privatization program fails. The power Company had debts of
US$10.8 billion as of the end of 2004.

The Philippine government, which alone has US$69 billion in
debts, said last year it would absorb Php200 billion (US$3.7
billion) of Napocor's debt to help speed up the sale to private
investors of its power plants and transmission facilities.

PACIFIC PLANS: Files for Rehabilitation
---------------------------------------
Pacific Plans Inc. has filed for suspension of payments and
rehabilitation before the Makati Regional Trial Court citing
skyrocketing tuition fees, reports The Philippine Star.

The pre-need firm made the move as it foresees the impossibility
of meeting future claims of its 34,000 planholders because
school tuition has been increasing at a tremendous rate ever
since the government removed a 10-percent cap on tuition hikes
in 1990.

The Makati court on Wednesday issued a stay order, effectively
freezing all Pacific Plans payments to creditors, suppliers, and
plan holders until the company is rehabilitated.

Meanwhile, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairperson
Fe Barin said the commission was still awaiting submissions from
Pacific Plans.

Pacific Plans stopped selling open-ended plans in 1992,
realizing it was a matter of time before the gap between tuition
and its income affected the company the way it did now. The SEC
ordered pre-need companies to stop selling this type of
education plan 10 years later for the same concerns.

Pacific Plans has appealed to plan holders who are not claiming
tuition support this school year not to go to its offices, to
allow smooth processing and release of checks.

CAPITALAND LIMITED: Unit Strikes Sale Deal with Parco, Seiyu
------------------------------------------------------------
CapitaLand Limited (CapitaLand) advised the Singapore Stock
Exchange (SGX) that CapitaLand Retail (BJ) Investments Pte. Ltd.
(CapitaLand Retail BJ), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
CapitaLand, had on April 13, 2005 entered into a sale and
purchase agreement with Parco (Singapore) Pte Ltd (Parco) and
Seiyu Holdings Pte Ltd (Seiyu, and together with Parco, the
Vendors) to acquire 114,358,242 ordinary shares of S$1 each in
the issued share capital of Seiyo Investment (S) Pte Ltd (Seiyo
Investment), constituting 100 percent of the issued share
capital of Seiyo Investment (the Sale Shares).

Seiyo Investment owns 10 percent of the issued and paid-up share
capital of Bugis City Holdings Pte Ltd (BCH), which in turn owns
80 percent, 75 percent and 90 percent of the issued and paid-up
share capital of BCH Retail Investment Pte Ltd (BCH Retail), BCH
Office Investment Pte Ltd (BCH Office) and BCH Hotel Investment
Pte Ltd (BCH Hotel) respectively.

In addition, Seiyo Investment owns 20 percent and 25 percent of
the issued and paid-up share capital of BCH Retail and BCH
Office respectively. Based on its audited financial statements
as at December 31, 2004, the net tangible assets value of Seiyo
Investment is approximately S$114 million, which ha s not taken
into account any revaluation surplus from its underlying assets.
The BCH group of companies own Bugis Junction, a mixed
development comprising retail, office and hotel components.

CapitaLand currently holds a 20 percent stake in the issued and
paid-up share capital of BCH through its indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary Victoria City Pte Ltd (VC). With the acquisition,
CapitaLand's stake in BCH, through both VC and Seiyo Investment,
will be at 30 percent. This would translate to an effective
stake of 44 percent in BCH Retail, 47.5 percent in BCH Office
and 27 percent in BCH Hotel.

The sale of the Sale Shares by the Vendors to CapitaLand Retail
BJ was for an aggregate cash consideration of approximately
S$139 million (Consideration). The Consideration was arrived at
on a willing buyer willing seller basis, taking into account,
amongst other factors, the value of the underlying assets.

The completion of the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares will
take place Thursday and the Consideration will be fully
satisfied in cash. Upon completion, Seiyo Investment will become
an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CapitaLand.

Based on the audited consolidated financial statements of
CapitaLand for the financial year ended December 31, 2004 (being
the latest available audited consolidated financial statements
of CapitaLand):

(i) Assuming that the acquisition had been effected on January
1, 2004 the financial impact on CapitaLand Group's earnings per
share is not significant; and

(ii) Assuming that the acquisition had been effected on 31
December 2004, the financial impact on CapitaLand Group's net
tangible assets per share is also not significant.

None of the Directors or controlling shareholders of CapitaLand
has any interest, direct or indirect, in the said acquisition.

KRUNG THAI: To Report Weaker Q1 Results
---------------------------------------
Krung Thai Bank is expected to tally a lower first-quarter net
profit in the year, but higher than the previous quarter,
Reuters reports.

The bank's lackluster performance may be attributed to fewer
investment gains and stunted loan growth.

Although first-quarter average loan growth was 9 percent on the
year, loan expansion slowed on the quarter due to project
delays, weak consumption and falling exports. But analysts said
that net interest margins in the first quarter are likely to
improve steadily from a year ago, after several banks redeemed
debt in 2004.

Krung Thai is expected to report its results by April 21.
