CUBE CAPITAL: Sells Financial Division to Branson Holdings
----------------------------------------------------------
Cube Capital Limited (Cube) advised that it has completed an
agreement to sell its financial services division, Cube
Financial Group (CFG), to Branson Holdings Limited.

The consideration payable is $1,000 but Cube will retain an
investment in $600,000 of Redeemable Preference Shares that are
repayable over 2 years with 6.5% interest. In addition, Cube
will be released from any ongoing obligations it has in relation
to CFG, including an effective underwriting commitment in
respect of CFG's Australian business.

Executive Chairman, Simon Wallace, said "CFG primarily operates
in Australia which remains a tough market for an embryonic
financial services business. While its prospects remain sound,
more capital and scale is needed and the Cube board believes
that there are better opportunities for the company in New
Zealand. The board will consider opportunities for the listed
shell and we hope to be able to make further announcements in
the not too distant future."

The sale is effective from 30 June 2005 and has been completed
today with formal documents finalized.

In additional news Cube confirms that it will complete the issue
of 1,350,000 shares to Baroda Hill Investments Limited a company
associated with Wayne Johnson and the entity with whom Cube has
been contracted, as approved by shareholders in June 2002. This
will satisfy all obligations between Baroda Hill Investments and
Wayne Johnson and Cube.

Wayne Johnson will continue as an independent Director of Cube
and as Managing Director of the separated CFG.

Cube will utilize treasury shares of 902,605 (from the sale of
Traveltech in 2004) and issue 447,395 new shares in settlement
of its contractual obligations to Baroda Hill Investments and
Wayne Johnson.

Following this issue Cube will have 44,839,818 shares on issue.

NATIONAL AUSTRALIA: Clydesdale Closures Push Through
----------------------------------------------------
National Australia Bank (NAB) will proceed with the closure of
60 branches of its Clydesdale Bank in Scotland, according to
Newsquest Media.

NAB has decided to go ahead with the closures despite
condemnation by a group of MSPs. The bank stressed that the
program was a well-thought strategy and was not up for debate.

NAB sparked a furious response from trade unions and some
politicians last month when it confirmed that Scotland would
bear the brunt of a UK-wide branch closure program.

Glasgow-based Clydesdale is axing 60, mainly rural, branches,
out of a 217-strong network, while its sister institution
Yorkshire Bankwill shut 40 of its 232 branches.

ONE.TEL LIMITED: Second Expert's Report Suffers Blow
----------------------------------------------------
The judge hearing the civil case against One.Tel founder Jodee
Rich and former finance director Mark Silbermann has thrown out
a second expert's report, according to the Sydney Morning
Herald. Justice Robert Austin rejected most of a report by a
PricewaterhouseCoopers partner and forensic accountant, Paul
Carter.  The report?s remains will be subjected to legal
argument in the NSW Supreme Court later this month by
defendants?counsel.

Justice Austin has already pored over the PwC report and
eliminated most of its findings on the basis that many of the
conclusions about One.Tel's financial position in the months
prior to its May 2001 collapse were based on assumption rather
than fact. The dismissal of a second expert's report by a
partner with McGrath Nicol & Partners, Murray Smith, is a
further blow to the Australian Securities and Investments
Commission's case.

The corporate regulator is attempting to ban Mr. Rich and Mr.
Silbermann from managing companies and is seeking compensation
of AU$92 million.  The case, originally scheduled for a three-
month hearing last year, is moving at a glacial pace and is now
in its tenth month.  Justice Austin did not give reasons for his
decision to strike out the Smith report but said he would do so
later.

* Perth Financial Adviser Permanently Banned
--------------------------------------------
The Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) has
permanently banned Mr. Geoffrey David Sanders, of Kingsley in
Western Australia, from providing financial services.

Mr. Sanders, trading as Acclaim Group, acted as an insurance
agent for a number of insurance companies from the early 1990s.
Mr. Sanders also acted as an authorized representative of
Guardianfp Limited from March 2004, until Guardianfp withdrew
Mr. Sanders' authority in September 2004.

ASIC banned Mr. Sanders after finding that there is reason to
believe he would not comply with financial services laws in the
future.

ASIC also found Mr. Sanders:

(1) Had falsified documentation to disguise the fact that he had
misused approximately $200,000 of clients' funds;

(2) Had dishonestly engaged in conduct, including the creation

Remarks:

1. Basis of presentation

The unaudited accounts have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and comply
with accounting standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of
Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA). They are prepared under
the historical cost convention.

HKICPA has issued a number of new and revised Hong Kong
Financial Reporting Standards and Hong Kong Accounting Standards
(new HKFRSs), which are effective for accounting periods
beginning on or after 1st January 2005.

The Group has not early adopted these new HKFRSs in the
financial statements for the six months ended 31st May 2005. The
Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these
new HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these
new HKFRSs would have a significant impact on its results of
operations and financial position.

The unaudited consolidated results for the six months ended May
31, 2005 have not been audited by the Company's auditors, but
have been reviewed by the Company's audit committee.

The accounting policies and basis of preparation used in the
preparation of the unaudited consolidated results for the six
months ended May 31, 2005 are consistent with those used in the
Company's annual financial statements for the year ended
November 30, 2004.

2. Basic loss per share

The calculation of basis loss per share for the three and six
months ended May 31, 2005 was based on the unaudited net loss
for the period of approximately HK$ 2,238,000 and HK$ 2,833,000
respectively (Three months and six months ended 31st May 2004:
net loss of HK$ 2,755,000 and HK$ 951,000 respectively), and the
weighted average of 160,590,967 ordinary shares of HK 0.10 each
in issue during the period.

Diluted loss per share has not been presented as there was no
dilutive potential ordinary share in existence during the
periods.

AKUP INTERNATIONAL: HKSE to Delist Shares on July 27
----------------------------------------------------
The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the Exchange) announced
that the listing of the shares of Akup International Holding
Limited (8179) will be cancelled with effect from 9:30 a.m. on
July 27, 2005 pursuant to Rule 9.14 of the GEM Listing Rules.

Dealings in the shares of the Company have been suspended since
February 5, 2004. On November 30, 2004, the Exchange announced
that it proposed to exercise its right to cancel the listing of
the shares of the Company on the Exchange.

The Company was given a period of six months (expired on May 29,
2005) for the submission of a viable resumption proposal and to
remedy those matters that gave rise to the Exchange?s proposal
to cancel the listing of the Company, and the Company was
required to submit such resumption proposal at least 10 business
days as defined in the GEM Listing Rules before the expiry of
the six-month period.

As the Company had failed to submit a viable resumption proposal
as required, the GEM Listing Committee decided to cancel the
listing of the Company?s shares pursuant to Rule 9.14 of the GEM
Listing Rules.

The Exchange advises shareholders of the Company who have any
queries about the implications of the delisting to obtain
appropriate professional advice.

CHINA EASTERN: Warns of More Losses
-----------------------------------
China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited (670) makes this
announcement as required under the relevant provisions of the
Shanghai listing rules and regulations, and in compliance with
the requirements of Rule 13.09(2) of the Hong Kong Listing
Rules.

In the first half of 2005, aviation fuel price continued to
increase and maintained at a comparatively high level. Based on
information currently available to the Company and preliminary
unaudited calculations made in accordance with the PRC
Accounting Standards and Regulations (PRC GAAP), it is estimated
that the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) will suffer a
financial loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.
(The Company attained net profit of approximately
RMB582,467,000, with earnings per share of approximately
RMB0.1197, under PRC GAAP for the same period in 2004.)

The above estimate is made and announced as required under the
relevant provisions of the Shanghai listing rules and
regulations. Such estimate, which is neither audited nor
reviewed by the Company?s auditors, is prepared under PRC GAAP,
and may (or may not) differ materially from the actual results
of the Group prepared under the International Financial
Reporting Standards.

Shareholders of the Company and public investors are therefore
cautioned not to place undue reliance on the estimate, but
should exercise caution when dealing in the
Company?s shares.

The detailed interim results of the Group for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2005 will be provided in the 2005 interim
results announcement to be made by the Company by August 30,
2005.

As of December 31, 2004, China Eastern Airlines Corporation has
current assets of HK$4.870 billion while current liabilities
stood at HK$16.5 billion, according to Chong Hing Securities
Ltd.

CHINA FORCE: Sees First Half Net Loss
-------------------------------------
China Force Oil & Grains Industrial (1194) issued a profit
announcement pursuant to rule 13.09 of The Rules Governing the
Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited
(the Listing Rules).

The Company and its subsidiaries (together, the Group) are
principally engaged in fractionation, refining, sale and trading
of edible oil products in the People?s Republic of China (the
PRC).

Since the publication of the audited annual results for the
financial year ended December 31, 2004, the performance of the
Group has been materially and adversely affected by certain
extremely unfavorable market conditions. Hence, the Board
expects the Group to record a net loss for the six months ended
June 30, 2005. A brief summary of such market conditions and
their implications on the Group are set forth below:

1. As part of its ordinary business, the Group purchases crude
soyabean oil from international suppliers, and resells or
processes at the Group?s production facilities into different
kinds of refined soyabean oil for sale in the PRC market. The
prices of the Group?s raw materials (crude soyabean oil) are
affected by international market conditions, whereas the spot
prices of the end products (refined soyabean oil) are affected
by the market conditions in the PRC market.

2. In the past, the Group entered into exchange-traded future
contracts in its normal course of business to mitigate the
effect of any price fluctuations in raw materials (crude
soyabean oil) and end products (refined For example, after the
Group confirming purchase orders of crude soyabean oil with
international suppliers, it may employ future contracts of
soyabean and soyabean oil traded on the Chicago Board of Trade
(?CBOT?) to offload its net position in soyabean oil. In the
past, spot prices of refined soyabean oil in the PRC were highly
correlated with the future prices of soyabean oil traded on
CBOT. Hence, such hedging transactions were effective in
mitigating price fluctuation risk of crude soyabean oil and
maintaining a stable gross profit per tonne of the Group?s ref
ined soyabean oil.

3. Contrary to the strong price correlation, since the end of
February 2005, the spot prices of refined soyabean oil in the
PRC declined, whereas during the same period, the future prices
of crude soyabean oil quoted on the CBOT surged. This reverse
trend continued in the second quarter of 2005.

According to the Group?s risk management policy, the Group
employs future contracts of soyabean and soyabean oil traded on
the CBOT as hedging instruments with the sole intention to
reduce the risk of raw material price fluctuations. However,
such hedging transactions were not able to achieve the same
results during February to April 2005, when the international
futures prices of soyabean oil moved in the opposite direction
to the spot selling prices in the PRC. Such phenomenon was
further confirmed in May and June this year, when the futures
prices of crude soyabean oil quoted on CBOT were consistently
higher than the domestic prices of refined soyabean oil in the
PRC.

As a result, the Group?s performance during the period was
materially and adversely affected and was further worsened by
the unexpected loss from the future contracts entered into by
the Group (which were originally intended to offset the effect
of decline in spot prices). Due to the unexpected market
conditions, the Group squared off almost all future contracts in
February to April 2005 and recorded additional realized loss.

In light of the foregoing, the Board expects the Group to record
a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The Group's
results for the six months ended June 30, 2005 have yet to be
finalized and hence, the Board is currently not able to quantify
precisely the financial impact on the Group following the above-
mentioned extremely unfavorable market conditions. The Board
expects to publish the results before the end of September 2005
pursuant to the requirements under the Listing Rules
Shareholders (the Shareholders) of the Company and investors are
advised to exercise extreme caution in dealings in the shares of
the Company.

As at the date of this announcement, a) the executive Directors
are Mr. Lim Wa, Mr. Lam Cham, Mr. Li Xiao Ning and Mr. Ding Ming
Shan; and (b) the independent non-executive Directors are
Professor Xiao Zhuo Ji, Dr. Wong Lung Tak, Patrick, J.P. and Mr.
Chan Kin Sang.

As of December 31, 2004, China Force has current assets of
HK$1.1 billion, while current liabilities stood at HK$966.57
million, Chong Hing Securities Ltd. relates.

Remarks:

1. Potential Impact Arising From The Recently Issued Accounting
Standards

In 2004, the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued a number of new or revised Hong Kong Accounting Standards
and Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter
collectively referred to as new HKFRSs) which are effective for
accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005 except
for HKFRS 3 Business Combinations.  The Group has not early
adopted these new HKFRSs in the financial statements for the
year ended March 31, 2005.

HKFRS 3 is applicable to business combinations for which the
agreement date is on or after January 1, 2005.  The Group has
not entered into any business combination for which the
agreement date is on or after January 1, 2005.  Therefore, HKFRS
3 did not have any impact on the Group for the year ended March
31, 2005.

The Group has commenced considering the potential impact of
these new HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to determine
whether these new HKFRSs would have a significant impact on how
its results of operations and financial position are prepared
and presented.  These new HKFRSs may result in changes in the
future as to how the results and financial position are prepared
and presented.


2. Loss Per Share

The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the net loss
for the year of HK$19,938,000 (2004: HK$12,713,000) and on the
484,853,527 shares (2004: 484,853,527 shares) in issue during
the year.

No diluted loss per share has been presented as there were no
potential ordinary shares in both years.

MOULIN GLOBAL: Faces Shares Manipulation Probe
----------------------------------------------
The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) will look into
Moulin Global Eyecare to determine if it manipulated its share
price in the months leading up to its collapse, The Standard
reports.

The commission suspects that company executives, in an effort to
smooth the way for critical fund-raising efforts earlier this
year, wanted to push up the share price even though they knew
that the firm's finances were deteriorating.

The SFC is also looking into the possibility its rules were
breached by the failure of company directors to disclose certain
information related to their holdings.

The Ma family, the controlling shareholders of Moulin, pledged
26.9 percent of the company's shares - leaving them with
unencumbered holdings of just 4.7 percent - as collateral for
loans from a number of money lenders. Under SFC rules, that
should have been publicly disclosed.

The maximum sentence for market manipulation is 10 years'
imprisonment and a fine of HK$10 million.

PICC PROPERTY: Unlikely to Recover Government Bonds in Full
-----------------------------------------------------------
The board of directors of PICC Property and Casualty Company
Limited (2328) announced that as disclosed in the 2004 annual
report of the Company, certain government bonds of the Company
were registered under the exchange-trading seat of a securities
company in the People?s Republic of China.

The Company noticed that until the date of this announcement,
such securities company had experienced difficulties in
executing dealing instructions from the Company, being
instructions to sell the government bonds in bulk in its custody
and instructions to transfer all the government bonds to another
exchange trading seat designated by the Company.

As of the date of this announcement, the amount of the Company?s
government bonds in the custody of such securities company,
which are held in the Company?s account opened with it, is
RMB599 million, representing 3.6 percent and 2.1 percent of the
Company?s net assets and cash and cash equivalents and term
deposits as at 31 December 2004, respectively.

On June 14, 2005, the Company notified that a state-owned
holding company intends to inject capital into such securities
company for its restructuring in the website of such securities
company and the Company had promptly liaised with the securities
company and relevant regulatory authorities to find ways to
protect the Company?s assets.

The Company is of the view that there is uncertainty in
recovering the government bonds in full. However, the Company
considers that this will not have a material adverse impact on
the Company?s operation although the impact on the Company?s
financial position can only be determined when it becomes more
certain as to whether the government bonds can be recovered in
full. The Company will continue to carry out necessary measures
to protect the Company?s interests in such assets.

Investors and shareholders of the Company are reminded to
exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.
The Company will make further announcements when further
information on protecting the Company?s interests in the assets
is available.

PERUSAHAAN LISTRIK: Seeks to Buy LNG from Papua Block
-----------------------------------------------------
State power firm PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) hopes to be
able to purchase liquefied natural gas (LNG) from a gas field in
Tangguh, Papua, for a proposed LNG terminal in Banten, reports
Asia Pulse.

According to PLN?s primary Energy Director Ali Herman Ibrahim,
PLN would need the gas to operate steam gas combined cycle power
plants for an interconnection system from Java to Bali. He added
that the gas field in Tangguh can produce up to 125 million
cubic feet of gas daily, enough to supply three LNG production
facilities (trains).

Since the Tangguh LNG operator BP PLC plans to build only two
production facilities/trains, the remaining gas available could
be used to power up the Company?s LNG terminal.

The estimated cost for the proposed LNG terminal, which is set
to start operations in 2007, is IDR2.94 trillion. Japanese
investors Mitsui & Co. and Sumitomo Corporation have expressed
interest in the LNG terminal project. PLN is now shortlisting
project tenders.

TELEKOMUNIKASI INDONESIA: Submits Annual Report Before Deadline
---------------------------------------------------------------
State-owned telecommunications firm PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia
(Telkom) was able to submit its 2004 financial report to the
U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) before the deadline,
AFX News reports.

Since Telkom's American depositary receipts are traded on the
New York Stock Exchange, the Company must submit its financial
records to the U.S. SEC.

The Company had failed to submit its 2003 annual financial
report to the Commission last year, as the Commission did not
recognize its auditor. This year, the Company asked for a
further 15-day extension on top of an earlier extension to
submit its 2004 financial report.

According to Telkom, the Company had been working with its
advisors to complete its 2004 financial report, to enable
Company auditors to include such report in its consolidated
financial statements.

Company investor relations officer Rochiman Sukarno said that
the Company passed its 20004 annual report on July 14, 2005, one
day shy of the extended deadline allowed by the U.S. SEC.

PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia owns more than 50% of the state's
mobile communications market, and recently appointed Bank Negara
Vice President Mr. Arwin Rasyid to be its new president
director.

SEIBU RAILWAY: Pension Fund Group Files JPY4.26-Bln Suit
--------------------------------------------------------
Japan?s Pension Fund Association filed a lawsuit against Seibu
Railway Co., its parent firm Kokudo Corporation and owner
Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, demanding JPY4.26 billion in damages for the
investment losses it incurred due to the falsification of
Seibu?s shareholders' ownership record.

"Seibu Railway has severely undermined investors' confidence in
the securities markets," the association said. "In making a
restart, the company should compensate in a responsible manner
for the damages it inflicted on its shareholders on the basis of
its illegal activities."

The falsification was designed to enable the railway to clear a
Tokyo Stock Exchange rule that any firm be delisted if a
combined stake held by its top 10 shareholders exceeds 80
percent for more than one year.

As of October 13, the Pension Fund Association had 1.87 million
Seibu shares.

* Teikoku Says 253 Companies? Debts Forgiven in 2004
----------------------------------------------------
Teikoku Databank America conducted research on companies that
received debt forgiveness, which include surviving companies as
well as companies that had reorganized, dissolved, or merged
after the agreement of debt forgiveness between 1985 to March
31, 2005.

All are principally counted at the time of reaching an agreement
in debt forgiveness.

This is our 12th research effort after the most recent one in
November 2004.

Research Result

Since 1985, the number of companies that reached agreements in
debt forgiveness was 1,171. In 1994, the self-reduction of
excess debt hit the limit, which created an upward increase in
the number of companies in debt forgiveness. However, since it
set a record-high with 251 cases in 2001, the number has
declined. Then, it soared again in 2004, updating the record-
high with 253 cases.

Recently, there were many cases of debt forgiveness utilizing
the "Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan" or
reorganization schemes such as private settlement guidelines.
Multiple debt forgiveness cases involving vast sums of money
tend to increase as well.

By pattern: Based on the total number of debt forgiveness cases
between 1985 to March 31, 2005, the most common pattern of debt
forgiveness was "Parent Company (Non-Bank) to Subsidiary" with
639 cases (54.6 percent), followed by 227 (19.4 percent) in
"Bank to General Company" and 112 (9.6 percent) in "Bank to
Group Company".

In 2004, the number of debt forgiveness cases by "Bank to
General Company" was at a record-high of 87, substantially
increasing from the previous year of 23 cases.

By Industry: Based on the total number of debt forgiveness cases
between 1985 to March 31, 2005, The "Manufacturing" industry was
the top with 193 companies (16.5 percent) exceeding "Non-Bank"
with 151 (12.9 percent), followed by "Wholesale" with 138 (11.8
percent), "Service" with 135 (11.5 percent), "Real
Estates/Housing" with 108 (9.2 percent), "Construction" with 102
(8.7 percent), "Retail" with 97 (8.3 percent) and "Third Sector"
with 21 (1.8 percent).

Large sized debt forgiveness was seen in the "Construction"
sector including "Ishihara Construction Co., Ltd" (1995), "Aoki
Corporation" (1999), and "Sato Kogyo Co., Ltd."(1999). During
2004-2005, three companies in the third sector (Asia and Pacific
Trade Center, Osaka World Trade Center Building, and Minatomachi
Developing Center) as well as Kanebo Group, Daikyo Incorporated,
and The Daiei Inc. received debt forgiveness. Debt forgiveness
also spread to wider sectors.

DAEWOO GROUP: Prosecutor to Hunt Missing Documents in Britain
-------------------------------------------------------------
A prosecution investigator is set to visit Daewoo Group's office
in Britain to retrieve missing documents, according to Asia
Pulse.  The missing capital transaction receipt slips are
believed to hold information regarding Daewoo's illegal money
transactions through its British financial arm, British Finance
Center (BFC).  BFC is believed to be Daewoo?s paper company that
handled the cash transactions of Daewoo's overseas operations.

A BFC high-ranking official will accompany the South Korean
investigator throughout the four- or five-day trip.  The visit
is not going to entail an investigation Daewoo?s British arm.

According to a prosecution official, the British entity claims
to have sent hundreds of thousands of dollars of Daewoo funds to
a bank in South Korea, but the bank has no record of such cash
transactions.  A former BFC officials claim the bank should be
held responsible for any missing data.

Recently, Daewoo founder Kim Woo-choong was indicted on charges
of fraud and violation of the country's foreign currency laws.
In 1997 and 1998 Mr. Kim allegedly ordered his group executives
to doctor the company's accounting books, so as to borrow KRW9.8
trillion.  Smuggling of $3.2 billion is also being linked to the
former chairman and he is being accused of illegally trading
over KRW15 billion abroad in violation of foreign exchange laws.


HYUNDAI MOTOR: To Recall 23,026 Cars
------------------------------------

MALAYSIAN AIRLINE: Likely to Face Another Probe
-----------------------------------------------
Several executives of Malaysian Airline System Berhad are
believed to be responsible for losses incurred following alleged
irregular company practices, New Straits Times relates.

The accusations came from a fresh police report lodged two
months ago by a Malaysian Airline director.  It could result in
an investigation on the airline's former chairman Tajuddin
Ramli, former MasKargo vice president Ralph M. Gotz and the
airline's former company secretary, Rizana Mohd Daud.

The police report was lodged with the commercial crimes division
at federal police headquarters in Bukit Aman, but department
director Datuk Hairuddin Mohamad declined comment, the newspaper
said.

The report filed in January 2002 from former Malaysian Airline
corporate services senior general manager Mohamadon Abdullah is
being linked to the latest report.  Mr. Mohamadon alleged
irregularities in the company and its dealings with German
company Advanced Cargo Logistics Gmbh.

Malaysian Airline is currently fighting a legal battle with
Advanced Cargo. The latter initiated arbitration proceedings
against the airline, claiming more than EUR60 million for breach
of agreement over a cargo handling deal dated November 1999.

TT RESOURCES: Compels Purchaser to Pay Outstanding Contribution
---------------------------------------------------------------
On June 21, 2004 the Board of Directors of TT Resources Bhd
(TTRB) announced that the Company had obtained the approval of
its shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting duly held
in relation to the Provision of Financial Assistance to TT
Resources (Shanghai) Sdn Bhd (TTRS), an associated company of
TTRB.

Further to the above, the Board of Directors of TTRB announced
that Dato' Tan Seng An (Purchaser) has failed and/or omitted to
perform his obligation under a Sale of Shares Agreement dated
December 19, 2003 (SSA) entered into between TTRB and the
Purchaser following the Purchaser's failure to pay his portion
of 40% out of the quarterly installment of MYR400,000.00 each
due to be paid by TTRS towards the repayment of a term loan
granted by RHB Bank Berhad (RHB Bank) to TTRS for three
consecutive installments, thereby creating an outstanding
shortfall installment totaling MYR480,000.00 as at May 25, 2005,
the breakdown of which is detailed herein below:

No.      Due date for payment      Purchaser's portion of 40%
        of quarterly installment   of quarterly repayment RM

1          25 November 2004        160,000.00

2          25 February 2005        160,000.00

3          25 May 2005             160,000.00

Total outstanding                  480,000.00

Meanwhile, TTRB had duly performed and had contributed the total
sum of MYR1.44 million being its portion of 60 percent out of
the quarterly installments due to RHB Bank as at to date.

TTRB had provided a corporate guarantee of MYR7.0 million being
the full principal loan amount in favor of RHB Bank to secure
the abovementioned term loan facility granted by RHB Bank to
TTRS which forms part of the Provision of Financial Assistance
to TTRS.

TTRB has since then taken various measures to amicably resolve
the matter with the Purchaser but without success. Accordingly,
TTRB had on July 6, 2005 filed a Writ of Summons at the High
Court of Malaya in Shah Alam, Selangor Darul Ehsan against the
Purchaser for his outstanding contribution in the sum of
MYR480,000.00, amongst others, and for breaching certain terms
and conditions contained in the SSA.

Based on the advice of TTRB's solicitors, the Board is of the
opinion that the Company has a strong case in compelling the
performance by the Purchaser to pay to RHB Bank the Purchaser's
outstanding contribution in the sum of MYR480,000.00.

ENRON SUBIC: Disputes Tax Deficiency Bill
-----------------------------------------
Cash-strapped Enron Subic Power Corp. has asked the Supreme
Court to junk the government's bid to collect at least Php2.9
million in tax deficiencies, BusinessWorld relates.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) earlier assessed the power
firm has Php2.9 million in back taxes for 1996 although the
lower courts had cancelled the tax deficiencies noting the
bureau had failed to state the "factual and legal" bases for the
assessment.  Under the tax code, the BIR is required to state in
writing the law and the facts on its assessment in the formal
letter of demand it would send to taxpayers.

But Enron claimed the BIR's assessment indicated only the tax,
surcharge and penalty. In its petition, Enron argued the BIR
merely attempts to "resurrect the same issues" which the Court
of Tax Appeals and the Court of Appeals have dismissed as
without merit.

"We believe that the applicable principle is the well settled
rule that findings of fact of the Court of Appeals are final and
conclusive and cannot be reviewed on appeal to the Supreme
Court."

IMPERIAL RESOURCES: Seeks to Erase IT Losses
--------------------------------------------
Struggling Imperial Resources Inc. is working to tie up with
senior investment firms for projects aimed at eradicating
losses, according to Today News.

The firm, which has been incurring losses since 2002, sees a lot
of opportunities in IT, energy and mining and has lined up
projects in these sectors. But it is still unable to disclose
details of the projects because these are still in its "very
primitive" stages.

The Company is exploring the possibility of looking for sources
of asphalt and its commercial uses.

Most of the high-quality highways constructed in the country are
top-finished with five to six inches of asphalt. Medium- and
low-cost housing uses more asphalt tiles and roofing slates, he
added.

The Company said that although it has abandoned some of its
mining projects, it would still consider mining coal as another
source of revenue. In fact it has boosted the value of its
shares to Php5 from Php1, in a bid to further endeavors in the
mining sector.

In 2004, Imperial booked a net loss of Php50.98 million, higher
than 2003?s net loss of Php5.63 million. This was mainly due to
its operating expenses which reached P43.14 million.

The increase in its operating expenses, based on its 2004
financial statement, was attributed to an investment write off
worth Php23.24 million and a Php10.24-million worth exploration
and development write off.

MANILA ELECTRIC: Clients May Not Get Actual Refunds Until Sept.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Phase 4a customers of Manila Electric Company (Meralco) may not
get their actual refunds until September this year, according to
The Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Meralco refund management task force head Leonardo Mabale said
the refunds might not be immediately claimed or credited to
bills since the power distributor was still awaiting the final
revenue order from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). The BIR
order would give the utility specific details on how to withhold
taxes from the refundable amounts under Phase 4 of the refund
scheme.

According to the BIR revenue regulation, the taxes "should be
applied to both active and terminated accounts.

The BIR earlier in the year issued an order for Meralco to
withhold 25 percent creditable income tax on Phase 4 customers
with active accounts, and 32 percent on customers with
terminated accounts.

Details on exactly how the tax withholding process would be
carried out by Meralco, particularly for customers that might
have exemptions, had yet to be issued.

As soon as Meralco gets the RMO, letters containing information
on the refund would be sent out, with the actual refund to be
conducted shortly thereafter.

Mr. Mabale said customers should expect the letters by the first
week of August.

NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Prepares Php3-Bln Bond Float
--------------------------------------------------
The National Development Co. (NDC) is poised to offer Php3
billion worth of Agri-Agra (AA) Bonds to raise funds for its
projects, says The Manila Standard.  Proceeds from the bond
float are earmarked to bankroll major development programs that
support agriculture and agrarian reform.

The NDC IOU is directly and unconditionally guaranteed by the
national government. The AA Bonds would have a term of 10 years
from the date of issue as the development projects to be funded
have a long gestation period. Interest payments shall be made
semiannually and shall be tax-exempt.

The AA Bonds are eligible as liquidity reserve for deposits,
deposit substitutes, common trust funds and other fiduciary
accounts; liquidity floor for government deposits; security for
the faithful performance of trust duties and as an alternative
compliance to Presidential Decree 717.

PD 717 requires the banking sector to allocate at least 25
percent of its loanable funds for agricultural credit in
general, of which 10 percent of its loanable funds shall be made
available to agrarian reform beneficiaries.

The planned bond float this month constitutes the third tranche
of NDC AA bonds, which are being issued in accordance with
Executive Order 83 issued on Dec. 25, 1998.

NDC, the investment arm of the Department of Trade and Industry
(DTI), is one the country's loss-making government corporations.

NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Idle Asset Sale to Generate Php600 Mln
------------------------------------------------------------
The National Development Company (NDC) is set to bid out next
month a 5.2-hectare idle lot in Paco Manila, BusinessWorld
reports.

The sale of NDC's Php600-million Manila Gas Corp. property is in
line with the government's plans to raise more funds for
infrastructure projects.

Based on initial appraisals, Manila Gas' property is estimated
to fetch between Php12,000 and Php18,000 per square meter.

NDC would keep half of the proceeds from the Manila Gas property
while the other half would go to the national government.

Last April, a government source said NDC had lined up through
another subsidiary four new road projects worth P30 billion as
part of its portfolio of priority projects.

These include the P12-billion North Luzon East Expressway
(NLEE), which would run parallel to the existing NLEX; the 21-
km, P9-billion Calabarzon expressway that is meant to decongest
the Aguinaldo highway that links Metro Manila to Southern
Tagalog; the extension of the yet-to-be-built Subic-Clark-Tarlac
expressway to Pangasinan, and the 10-km Circumferential Road 6
that would serve as a by-pass along the Manggahan floodway in
Pasig City.


NATIONAL FOOD: Secures Enough Rice Supply for Public
----------------------------------------------------
The struggling National Food Authority (NFA) has assured the
public of a steady supply of rice for the whole year, according
to The Manila Standard. The state food agency said importation
is expected to boost local price production, despite NFA's
downward shift in rice production targets.

This year, the government assigned the NFA to import 1.6 million
metric tons of rice for the country's food security
requirements. However, due to the projected delay in the main
harvest and reduced production this year, NFA is set to import
an additional 200,000 mt. The additional importation will fill
the rice requirements of the country due to a delay in planting
because of the El Nino phenomenon.

NATIONAL FOOD: DOF Projects Ballooning Deficit in 2005
------------------------------------------------------
The Department of Finance (DOF) forecasts the deficit of
National Food Authority to more than triple this year due to
higher rice imports and hefty losses, The Manila Standard
reports.

The finance department estimated NFA's shortfall to reach Php27
billion this years from last year's Php8.1 billion. DoF said NFA
will overtake National Power Corp. as the no. loss maker of the
14-monitored government-owned and -controlled corporations
(GOCCs).  The state-run food company continued to incur huge
losses as it imported rice at high prices and subsidized a
portion of the imports by selling these at a loss to make them
more affordable to the public.

The projected deficit this year of NFA is expected to account
for about 63 percent of the projected Php42.5 billion deficit to

(DOLE) has confirmed that at least 13 companies in Davao Region
have stopped operating as of May this year, SunStar Daily

and manpower outsourcing.

DOLE said the companies collapse, which caused the retrenchment
of 374 workers, was due to lack of market for their products.

employees, 249 were from the companies that declared permanent

temporarily closed.

THAI PETROCHEMICAL: PTT Chief Says Founder Still Has Rights
-----------------------------------------------------------
The founder of Thai Petrochemical Industry Public Co. Ltd. (TPI)
may gain control of the company as he has the right to try to
buy it back and convince debt planners and creditors to support
him, reports Business Day, citing PTT Chief Financial Officer
Pichai Chunhavajira.

According to Mr. Pichai, Prachai Leophairatana, as one of the
guarantors of TPI does have the right to propose something.  "I
think that if the planner, or the court, can see that this one
is a good proposal, they may make a decision on that basis." Mr.
Pichai said.

Mr. Pichai added that it is understandable for Mr. Prachai to
want to regain control of TPI because petrochemical and refined
prices are setting records which could attract new investors.
Thai Petrochemical Industry collapsed during the Asian Financial
in 1997.  That time prices of petrochemical and refined products
were falling.

"The situation has changed, the petrochemical cycle is coming,
the refinery [cycle] is coming also at the same time, so the
financial position of the company has been substantially
changed", Business Day quotes Mr. Pichai as saying.

Mr. Prachai and minority shareholders of TPI, who holds about 25
percent stake tried to override the restructuring program
initiated by the Ministry of Finance.  He sought the help of a
Chinese partner to finance his plans of buying back TPI shares
worth $2.7 billion.  But CITIC Resources Holdings withdrew from
talks earlier this month.

The TPI founder is currently in search of another backer in
place of CITIC, but declined to name the companies he is
negotiating with.
