CLOUGH LIMITED: Unit Begins Australian Mining
---------------------------------------------
Clough Limited's subsidiary company, PT Petrosea Tbk and its
Alliance partner, Renison Consolidated Mines NL has commenced
mining on the Tom's Gully gold mine in Australia.

On May 3, 2005, PT Petrosea Tbk and Renision Consolidated Mines
NL entered into an Alliance Agreement to develop and operate an
underground gold mining and processing operation at Tom's Gully
gold mine. The mining lease is located 90km south east of Darwin
in the Northern Territory and has previously been mined by open
cut methods.

Project financing is in place and development of the main
decline has now commenced. Gold production is expected to
commence in March 2006 upon recommissioning of the carbon-in-
leach gold processing plant, which is currently being
refurbished.

David Singleton, CEO and Managing Director of Clough Limited
said; "This is a significant step for Petrosea. Being the
company's first mining venture outside Indonesia it is part of a
wider mining strategy for Petrosea to broaden its scope, taking
responsibility for the Group's mining activities."

The Tom's Gully Alliance is an innovative contracting agreement,
which enables Renison and Petrosea to operate seamlessly at the
mine site, trough a 50/50 owned company, Tom's Gully Mining Pty
Ltd. Under the agreement Petrosea is responsible for providing
underground mining expertise and capital equipment, while
Renison provides the mining lease and the process plant. Tom's
Gully Pty Ltd. employs the workforce and manages the day-to-day
operations.

As part of the Alliance relationship, Petrosea has taken a
strategic equity investment in Renision. In September 2004,
Renison announced a loan of AU$1 million by Petrosea to Renison
to perform the feasibility study. This loan has been converted
to equity of eight million shares in Renison. An additional AU$1
million has been invested in 400,000 March 2007 convertible
notes, with each note convertible to 20 ordinary shares.

The mine is projected to produce approximately 45,000 ounces of
gold per annum from 250,000 tonnes of processed ore per annum.

Petrosea and Renison are committed to building upon this
relationship and will jointly evaluate opportunities for other
mining projects, both in Australia and overseas.

MAYNE GROUP: Court to Decide on AU$4-Bln Demerger
-------------------------------------------------
A high court will decide on Friday whether to approve the Mayne
Group's AU$4-billion demerger proposal, The Australian reports.

The Supreme Court of Victoria will consider the demerger plan,
as well as the release of the explanatory memorandum.

Friday's hearing comes as potential buyers signify their
interest Mayne's domestic healthcare business and international
pharmaceuticals division.

Rival Sigma, international private equity firm Ironbridge
Capital and Apax are reportedly keen on the firm's businesses.

Last month, Mayne confirmed that it had "received unsolicited
proposals" from parties interested in acquiring various parts of
the group.

But the drug firm stressed it does not intend to sell any parts
of the business prior to the break-up in late December.

Mayne's board remained convinced that a demerger is the best
strategy for delivering value to its shareholders.

MYER LIMITED: Parent Mulls Debt Deal
------------------------------------
Coles Myer is looking at ways to make the stores operated by
department store chain Myer Limited more attractive to buyers,
The Australian reports.

The retail giant is considering a completed debt package to lure
financial or private equity buyers. It believes that a
structures financial package, for possible inclusion in the Myer
information memorandum, could assist potential buyers.

Sources said the inclusion package is one of the reasons why the
memorandum will be issued later than originally expected -
probably next week.

Private equity players generally seek to maximize their
leverage, and potential profit, by loading up the asset with as
much debt as possible.

Between 13 and 17 private equity outfits are believed to have
expressed interest in Myer.

The main lenders for aggressive private-equity deals are
National Australia Bank, Credit Suisse First Boston, Deutsche
Bank and ANZ Bank. Speculation about possible buyers has
centered on private equity groups like CVC Asia Pacific,
Newbridge Capital and Catalyst Investment Managers. South
African retailer Edgars Consolidated has also signaled an
interest.

Coles revealed late last month that Myer had suffered a 46
percent fall in 2005 earnings before interest and tax from
AU$71.9million to AU$38.7 million.

PLACER DOME: Arizona Star Releases Default Notice
-------------------------------------------------
Arizona Star (TSX VENTURE:AZS) announced Tuesday that, in
cooperation with Bema Gold Corporation, it has notified Placer
Dome Inc. that Placer Dome Inc. is in default of its obligations
under the Shareholders' Agreement governing the Cerro Casale
project.

On September 27, 2005, Placer Dome advised Arizona Star and Bema
Gold of its conclusion that the Cerro Casale project is not
financially viable at this time and is not financeable under the
terms of the Shareholders' Agreement.

Arizona Star believes that Placer Dome has failed to perform its
obligations under the Shareholders' Agreement and the Updated
Feasibility Study Agreement. In particular, Arizona Star
believes that Placer Dome has failed to use its reasonable
commercial efforts to arrange financing for Cerro Casale in the
amounts and on the terms which are reasonable and customary for
projects of this kind. Arizona Star also claims that Placer Dome
has failed to complete an updated feasibility study and has
failed to optimize the Cerro Casale project, both as required in
its contractual agreements with Arizona Star and Bema Gold.

Pursuant to the terms of the Shareholders' Agreement, Placer
Dome now has 30 days to remedy these defaults. If the defaults
have not been remedied within 30 days, Arizona Star and Bema
Gold intend to take all necessary steps to have Placer Dome's
interest in Cerro Casale returned to them.

Arizona Star holds a 25% interest in the Cerro Casale gold-
copper project located in Chile. Placer Dome holds a 51%
interest in the project and is the operator. Bema Gold holds the
remaining 24%.

looking statements, such as estimates and statements that
describe the Company's future plans, objectives or goals,
including words to the effect that the Company or management
expects a stated condition or result to occur. Since forward-
looking statements address future events and conditions, by
their very nature, they involve inherent risks and
uncertainties. Actual results in each case could differ
materially from those currently anticipated in such statements.

PLACER DOME: Bema Issues Notice of Default
------------------------------------------
Bema Gold Corporation (TSX:BGO)(AMEX:BGO)(AIM:BAU) (Bema)
announces that, pursuant to the terms of the Compania Minera
Casale (CMC) Shareholders' Agreement (the Shareholders'
Agreement), Bema and Arizona Star Resource Corp. (Arizona Star)
have received a certificate from Placer Dome Inc. ("Placer") on
September 27, 2005 regarding the financeability of the Cerro
Casale project. The certificate ("Certificate A") states that
Placer has determined that the Cerro Casale project is still not
financeable under the terms of the Shareholders' Agreement.

Bema and Arizona Star question the foundation for the issuance
of Certificate A and have given Placer notice of default under
the Shareholders' Agreement. Bema and Arizona Star have
identified several areas in which Placer is in default of the
Shareholders' Agreement and if Placer fails to remedy these
defaults within 30 days (from October 3, 2005), as specified in
the Shareholders' Agreement, Bema and Arizona Star intend to
pursue arbitration with a view to reclaiming Placer's 51%
interest in the Cerro Casale project.

The Cerro Casale deposit (Bema 24%, Arizona Star 25%, Placer
51%) is one of the world's largest undeveloped gold and copper
projects. A feasibility study completed by Placer Dome Technical
Services Limited in January 2000 and updated in March, 2004
outlined estimated measured and indicated mineral resources of
approximately 25.4 million ounces of gold and 6.4 billion pounds
of copper.

PLACER DOME: Responds to Bema Notice of Default
-----------------------------------------------
On October 3, 2005, Placer Dome Inc. received a Notice of
Default under the Shareholders' Agreement for the Cerro Casale
project in Chile from Bema Gold Corporation (Bema), one of the
participants in the project. Also on October 3, 2005, Placer
Dome received a letter from Arizona Star Resource Corporation
(Arizona Star), the other participant in the project, confirming
its support for Bema's Notice of Default.

Placer Dome disagrees with the allegations contained in Bema's
Notice of Default. Receipt of the Notice of Default initiates a
30-day period within which time any default may be remedied.

Placer Dome has concluded the Cerro Casale project is not
financeable under the terms of the Shareholders' Agreement.
Placer Dome has presented a proposal to Bema and Arizona Star to
evaluate alternate development scenarios for the project. The
Cerro Casale project is owned indirectly by Placer Dome (51%),
Bema (24%) and Arizona Star (25%).

Placer Dome employs 13,000 people at 16 mining operations in
seven countries. The Vancouver-based company's shares trade on
the Toronto, New York, Swiss and Australian stock exchanges and

RMG LIMITED: Directors Face Class Action
----------------------------------------
A group of creditors and shareholders of collapsed debt
collector RMG Limited may file a class action suit against
former directors of the company, The Independent has learned.

Australian law firm Maurice Blackburn Cashman (MBC) is
reportedly considering a shareholder class action against either
the directors or the company. Several NZ shareholders had
already registered their interest.

Dual-listed RMG was placed in voluntary administration in April
after a five-year history of losing money.

The group's administrator, PPB, in its second report to
creditors, examined a range of offences that might have been
committed at RMG, starting with directors' duty to prevent
trading while insolvent.

Although RMG managers admitted "stretching out" creditors in the
three months before the administration, it appeared the main
operating company, RML, hadn't been allowed to trade while
insolvent.

The administrators, Rod Slattery and Wayne Benton, also examined
a range of other possible causes of action.  Some have been
referred to PPB's legal advisers for opinions.  

In addition to possible insolvent trading, the matters are:
possible breach of directors' "care and diligence" obligations;
possible uncommercial transactions; and a check on the adequacy
of disclosure and due diligence undertaken in relation to a
January 2005 rights issue.  

Under Australian law, the directors of a company can be sued by
creditors only if the company is in liquidation.

RMG's creditors will now have to choose between a "deed of
company arrangement" or a liquidation.

TELSTRA CORPORATION: CSFB's Upgrade Pushes Up Shares
----------------------------------------------------
Telstra Corporation's dwindling share price received a boost
after a major broking house upgraded the telecom's profit
outlook, Sydney Morning Herald reports.

Credit Suisse First Boston's (CSFB) new rating for Telstra was
based on the "significant cost savings" that could flow from a
multi-billion transformation of the network.

The broker estimated Telstra could comfortably reduce its labor
costs alone by AU$1 billion, slashing 8000 jobs from its
workforce of 46,000, by following the lead of its overseas peers
and investing in a next generation network (NGN).

CSFB's Justin Cameron said the implementation of the NGN may
result in ongoing savings of AU$1.2 billion by the 2010
financial year.

CSFB believes NGN will be critical to offsetting the pressure on
the revenue side of the telecom's business. Expanded services
that an NGN would enable is also important.

A mid-November announcement by Telstra Chief Executive Sol
Trujillo is also predicted to include an NGN - sometimes
referred to an Internet Protocol (IP) network - which can run
voice, data and multimedia services. This would simplify
Telstra's physical network and supporting infrastructure, and
reduce its reliance on its staff of 20,000 technicians. Telstra
employs 3000 people just to manage the 160 different billing
systems it uses, according to CSFB.

One downside of the new initiatives will be the bill. The NGN is
expected to cost AU$5 billion and will raise Telstra's capital
expenditure in the medium term. One-off restructuring charges
could add another AU$900 million.

This makes it unlikely that Telstra will be able to continue
with the final leg of its three-year AU$4.5 billion capital
return to shareholders.

The sale of fringe assets could help Telstra offset some of the
increased investment, with CSFB predicting the Hong Kong mobile
subsidiary could be sold off with a price tag of between AU$1.6
billion and AU$1.8 billion.

Credit Suisse First Boston raised its earnings estimates for
Telstra by 7.5 percent for the 2007 financial year and 15.2
percent for 2008. The broker also upgraded its recommendation on
the stock from Neutral to a Buy and lifted its price target by
48c to AU$4.78.

TELSTRA CORPORATION: Faces Payphone Scrutiny
--------------------------------------------
The telecommunications watchdog has stepped up efforts to
monitor Telstra Corporation amid concerns about the longer
period it takes for the telco to repair its payphones in the
bush, The Australian says.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) said
that while Telstra has improved its overall repair times for
payphones in rural and remote areas, it still had some concerns
about an increase in faults taking more than a week to fix.

ACMA's report released Tuesday revealed that Telstra repaired 86
per cent of its 133,061 rural payphone faults in 2004/05 within
two days, despite the number of problems rising by 152 per cent.
The number of problems which took eight or more days to fix,
however, rose by 173 percent to 3,422.

The watchdog said it would monitor Telstra's performance in
fixing problem payphones in remote areas during the next 12
months.

By comparison, Telstra repaired 91 percent of the 470,079
payphone faults in urban areas within two days, compared to 89
percent in 2003/04.

Despite ACMA's concerns about Telstra's payphone repairs in the
bush, the watchdog lauded the telco for its performance in
connecting and repairing phone lines within certain timeframes
in the past financial year.

INDIAN OIL: Noble Explochem Secures Order
-----------------------------------------
Noble Explochem Ltd has informed BSE that on October 04, 2005
the Company has received an order from Indian Oil Corporation
Ltd.(IOC), for supply of the product CETANE IMPROVER.

This product is used by Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., its
subsidiaries and associates for improving the quality of diesel
manufactured by them. The order is of a minimum size of 2290 MT.
currently valued at about Rs 200 million. There is a clause in
the tender under which the Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., can
place a repeat order on same unit prices, terms and conditions.

Last year for the first time the Company received an order for
1250 MT under which tender the Indian Oil Corporation Ltd.,
actually purchased 2500 MT guided by the same proviso of repeat
order. As a matter of strategy last year the Company obtained
the order at very unremunerative prices to gain entry and
recognition. This margin also could not be recovered because the
raw material prices being petro based shot up abnormally. This
year therefore the Company has already partly tied up for the
raw material and has obtained a price increase of about 20% over
last tender prices. The size of the market for the Company's
above product both in India and abroad is expanding rapidly.
Substantial efforts are being made by the Company to harness the
complete potential of the product. It is heartening that the
above order has been obtained despite facing stiff competition
from the multinationals.

DIRGANTARA INDONESIA: Dismissed Workers Demand Severance Pay
------------------------------------------------------------
Hundreds of dismissed employees of state-owned aircraft
manufacturer PT Dirgantara Indonesia (DI) demanded their
severance pay from the government in a protest held on Oct. 4,
2005, reports the Jakarta Post.

According to protest coordinator M. Sidharta, the Bandung
District Court had ruled in their favor, and had ordered the
Company to distribute the proper severance payments to the
dismissed workers. Mr. Sidharta implored the Company's aid in a
speech, asking to help ease their suffering due to increased
fuel prices and higher costs of living.

The Central Committee for the Settlement of Labor Disputes had
ruled that DI could terminate some 2,000 workers on the
condition that the Company distribute more than double the
severance pay that is given to a fired worker. This meant that
DI had to pay the workers a total amount of IDR160 billion in
severance pay.

However, the Company was financially unable to pay such amount,
prompoting the dismissed employees to seek legal action in
court. Mr. Sidharta said that they would continue to protest
until the Company gives them the proper severance pay, as
indicated by the committee.

PERTAMINA: Ups Fuel Prices for Industry by 16%
----------------------------------------------
State-owned oil and gas firm PT Pertamina plans to raise market
fuel prices for industry users by 16% this month after recent
hurricanes in the U.S. raqised concerns on a supply shortage,
the Jakarta Post reports.

According to Pertamina fuel division chief Achmad Faisal, the
price of premium gasoline will increase from IDR5,160 per liter
to above IDR6,000 per liter, while diesel fuel prices will rise
from IDR5,350 per liter to above IDR5,700 per liter. Kerosene
will be sold for IDR6,200 per liter, fuel oil will selll at
IDR3,500 per liter and diesel oil will sell at IDR5,500 per
liet.

The new fuel prices, which were set to be imposed this week, are
pending approval from the Company's board of directors.

On Oct. 1, 2005, the Indonesian government raised fuel prices by
a total of 126.6%, and has removed fuel quotas for industries,
except for small enterprises and fishermen with boats that weigh
less than 30 gross weight tons.

Mr. Faisal added that as the U.S. is still recovering from
hurricanes, global fuel prices might remain high even if crude
oil prices were to drop.

Even with the price hike, daily fuel consumption was lower than
the normal 180,000 kiloliters to 190,000 kiloliters per day.
Indonesia only consumed 67,000 kilolieters on Oct.2, and 120,000
kiloliters on Oct.3, but this is probably due to the people
consuming fuel that they had been storing in anticipation fo the
planned increase.

Pertamina is still looking for two fuel cargoes (1 million
barrels of fuel) for this month's supply levels to be at the
safe 22-day stock level.

MINEBEA CO.: S&P Revises Rating Outlook to Negative
---------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised the outlook on its
long-term corporate credit rating to positive from stable on NSK
Ltd., and to negative from stable on Minebea Co. Ltd. At the
same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'BBB-' long-term
rating on NSK and 'BBB' long-term rating on Minebea.

"The outlook on the long-term rating on NSK was revised to
positive based on its improving profitability and financial
profile, while the outlook on Minebea was revised to negative
due to sluggish performance of its electronic devices segment,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Junko Miyakawa.

NSK has been aggressively reducing costs and debt, and focusing
its efforts on automobile-related products, which have smaller
fluctuations in demand in the bearings business. As a result,
the company's profitability and financial profile have improved.
Recently, NSK's sales volume and operating margins have grown,
backed by favorable performance of industrial machinery products
due to a recovery in capital expenditure and rising demand for
automobile-related products.

NSK may be upgraded if the company further improves and
stabilizes its cash flow and makes further progress in reducing
debt, underpinned by its improving profitability. One of the key
factors for an upgrade includes NSK's ability to maintain a
ratio of funds from operations (before adjusting for changes in
working capital) to debt at over 20% over the medium- to long-
term.

Minebea is expected to record its third consecutive year of
losses in fiscal 2005 (ending March 31, 2006) in its electronic
devices business, which includes small motors and keyboards.
Given its high exposure to rapid technological change and
pricing pressures, it will be difficult for the company to
revive the segment's profitability over the next 1-2 years.

Although Minebea maintains strong competitiveness and a stable
earnings base in its bearings business, losses in its electronic
devices business have dragged down company-wide profit. The
rating on Minebea may be lowered if the profitability of the
electronic devices business does not recover over the next 1-2
years, the asset quality of the electronic devices business is

MITSUBISHI FUSO: Launches Next Generation Medium-Duty Truck
-----------------------------------------------------------
Mitsubishi Fuso Truck & Bus Corporation (MFTBC) has launched the
next generation of its medium-duty truck "Fighter" for the Japan
market. The vehicle, used in a wide variety of commercial
applications, features a newly designed cab and exterior.

It is the first new product version developed by the company as
an integrated part of DaimlerChrysler's Commercial Vehicles
Division.

"The new `Fighter' is indicative of the positive forward
momentum of Mitsubishi Fuso," said Harald Boelstler, MFTBC
President & CEO. "With this product, we demonstrate our focus on
safety, quality and reliability for our customers. It also
showcases the resources and capabilities available to us as part
of DaimlerChrysler."

The new "Fighter" is now available at Mitsubishi Fuso
dealerships across Japan. It is built at the company's Kawasaki
Manufacturing Plant.

Also this week, MFTBC introduced an updated version of the
light-duty truck Canter on October 3. The new vehicle complies
with the latest rear under-run protector and lamp regulations.
The Canter is Fuso's best-selling vehicle in Japan and overseas.

The product introductions closely follow a major exhibition of
the company's hybrid vehicle technology activities in Europe.

From Sept. 19-30, Mitsubishi Fuso demonstrated its advanced
vehicle systems during DaimlerChrysler Commercial Vehicle's
"Technology Days" in Papenburg, Germany. The event was a
showcase of 50 research and development topics on the subjects
of safety, the environment and technology.

On display by Mitsubishi Fuso were the light-duty Canter HEV
(hybrid electric vehicle) and Aero HEV urban bus. These
pioneering vehicles are designed to reduce emissions and fuel
consumption. The company plans to produce hybrid vehicles for
the Japan market in 2006 and is evaluating them for other
countries. Mitsubishi Fuso is the competence center for light-
duty HEV activities within the DaimlerChrysler Commercial
Vehicles group.

MFTBC, a fully consolidated subsidiary of DaimlerChrysler AG, is
one of Asia's leading commercial vehicle manufacturers. With
headquarters in Tokyo and over 16,000 employees, the company had
global sales of 179,200 trucks and buses in fiscal year 2004.

DaimlerChrysler AG owns 85% of MFTBC shares. The remaining 15%
of shares continue to be held by various Mitsubishi group
companies. Mitsubishi Fuso is an integral part of
DaimlerChrysler's Commercial Vehicle Division.

MITSUBISHI MOTORS: Extends U.S. Gas Incentive
---------------------------------------------
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc., (MMNA) announced that, as
a result of overwhelming consumer interest, the Gas Comes
Standard fuel card program would be extended to include selected
2006 model-year vehicles. Previously, the offer of a year's
worth of gasoline was offered on only new 2005 model-year
vehicles.

"Based on the enthusiastic interest in Gas Comes Standard
expressed by American consumers, we have decided to allow
customers to take advantage of this innovative incentive on the
purchase of 2006 Endeavors and 2006 Galants," said David
Schembri, executive vice president of sales and marketing at
Mitsubishi Motors North America. "The promotion has obviously
struck a positive chord with consumers."

Each customer after purchasing any new 2005 model-year
Mitsubishi vehicle, 2006 Endeavor, or 2006 Galant will receive
in the mail pre-paid debit cards, totaling from $1,500 to
$2,500. The amount varies by vehicle depending on two factors:

1.) The estimated amount of gas required to drive the new
vehicle for 12,000 miles (at the EPA combined rating for the
vehicle).

2.) Whether the recommended fuel for the vehicle is regular
(computed at $2.80 per gallon) or premium (computed at $3.10 per
gallon).  These rounded prices were fixed at the average price
per gallon as reported in the AAA daily fuel report of Monday,
September 19, 2005.

Customers can select from a variety of major motor oil companies
for each debit card.

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc., (MMNA) is responsible for
all manufacturing, finance, sales, marketing, and research and
development operations of the Mitsubishi Motors Corporation in
the United States. Mitsubishi Motors sells coupes, convertibles,
sedans and sport utility vehicles through a network of
approximately 570 dealers.

MYCAL CORPORATION: Set to End Rehab Proceedings This Year
---------------------------------------------------------
Mycal Corporation, which is restructuring under the umbrella of
Aeon Co., said it would complete its rehabilitation by the end
of December, seven years ahead of schedule, Asia Pulse reports.

The struggling retailer is speeding up the process so that it
can start opening stores in fall 2006.

Of the roughly JPY200 billion (US$1.7 billion) that it owes, it
plans to repay the remaining JPY50 billion or so by the end of
the year, at which time the Tokyo District Court will declare an
end to the rehabilitation proceedings.

Mycal collapsed in September 2001 with total debts of JPY1.8
trillion. It first filed for bankruptcy protection from
creditors under the Civil Rehabilitation Law, but then switched
to proceedings under the Corporate Rehabilitation Law.

NANKAI ELECTRIC: R&I Downgrades Rating to BBB-
----------------------------------------------
Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I), has downgraded
the rating of Nankai Electric Railway Co. Ltd. to BBB- from BBB.
The rating outlook is stable.

With the exception of redevelopments in Osaka's Namba district,
the outlook is bleak for housing sales, shopping centre
operations, leasing of boat race facilities and the other
businesses that the company is involved in along the routes it
operates.

R&I have downgraded the rating one notch to BBB- reflecting its
concern about the decline in earning power due to these factors.
R&I is concerned that there will be a vicious cycle in which the
fragility of businesses along the company's routes further
exacerbates the declining number of passengers.

The company's area is the district encircled by the two lines it
operates stretching south from Namba in the centre of Osaka
Minami. These two lines are the Nankai Main Line, which goes
through the Senshu district and on to Wakayama City, and the
Koya Line, which passes through Minami Kawachi and ends at Koya
San. The Rinkan Denen Toshi (Hashimoto City, Wakayama) a major
residential district developed by the company, lies on the Koya
Line, and is heavily undersold.

The falling property prices in Osaka as well as the location -
Wakayama Prefecture - have left Rinkan Denen Toshi an
increasingly unattractive option for house purchasers. As sales
struggle, it will probably be a long time before the company is
able to recover its investment.

Kumatori-Tsubasagaoka, a new town development in Sennan City,
will be severely hit by the crossthe- board fall in the Sennan
area's property prices. Sales will improve if the company lowers
house prices, but they will find it difficult to maintain a
margin. The shopping centre operations in or around stations are
also facing a stark situation. Major commercial facilities have
been opened near the company's shopping centers in Sakai, Izumi-
Otsu, Kawachi Nagano, and Shin Kanaoka on the Osaka Subway;
tenant sales in these shopping centers are starting to shrink.

At Suminoe, the Kansai region's premier boat race venue, sales
have been in continuous decline for the past few years. There is
little prospect of a recovery in either of these businesses, and
rental income will probably continue to be slack for an extended
period.

The falling number of profit-earning opportunities along the
company's routes is one of the factors behind the continued
decline in income from train fares. R&I focus on the balance
between income from train fares and debt for the analysis of the
creditworthiness of railway companies. Because Nankai Electric
Railway's capital investment in the second phase of the Nanba
redevelopment will continue despite diminishing revenue from
train fares, any reduction in its debt will become sluggish, and
it will be difficult for them to achieve a better balance.

Sales at Namba Parks, a commercial facility in the first phase
of the Namba redevelopment, are currently outperforming the
initial plan. Their break-even point is low because the
redevelopment is the site of the former Osaka Stadium, which the
company already owned. For the time being, brisk profits can be
expected from the Namba redevelopment.

SEIYU LIMITED: Wal-Mart Raises Stake to 50%
-------------------------------------------
On September 30, Seiyu Limited announced to issue new shares to
the value of JPY115 billion and will allocate them to Wal-Mart
Stores, Inc. and Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd. and others, Rating
and Investment Information reports.

The capital increase will make the Wal-Mart's interest in Seiyu
to increase to over 50% by the end of 2005, and Seiyu will
become a consolidated subsidiary of Wal-Mart. Seiyu is planning
to issue new ordinary and preferred shares, however, the amount
as well as the terms and conditions have not been concluded at
this moment.

In addressing Seiyu's creditworthiness, R&I has been already
taking into account of Wal-Mart's intention for making Seiyu its
subsidiary. Therefore, there are no changes to the rating of
Seiyu's commercial paper, which is currently at a-3.

There are no disclosures over the amount of Seiyu's impairment
write-offs and losses due to the closure of outlets; therefore,
there remains a possibility that the effect of the capital
increase to be offset. R&I is paying attention to Seiyu's
business plan including its strategy for outlets, as well as the
decision of the extraordinary meeting of shareholders planned in
December 2005.

ATLAS CONSOLIDATED: Mine Rehabilitation Going Well
--------------------------------------------------
Atlas Consolidated Mining and Development Corporation's (the
Company) ongoing pre-contract facility repair and rehabilitation
program at its Carmen Copper Mine has made substantial progress
towards bringing forward the project to the next stage of
development.

The Company reported that its reconstruction works covering a
number of major surface facilities are ahead of schedule and
their completion is expected by the end of October 2005.

The rehabilitation of the old Administration building is already
in the finishing stage. Refurnishing and equipping the restored
offices and appurtenant facilities is expected to follow suit.
By early November, the company's administrative and technical
service personnel presently quartered at the interim Staff
Clubhouse will transfer to the newly reconstructed facility. It
should be recalled at this former administrative center was
gutted by fire last December 27, 2004.

Cleaning and repair of the main structures and roofing of the
Carmen crusher and grinding sections' buildings are 90%
complete. Adie from protecting the crushers and ball mills from
the natural elements, improved conditions of the buildings will
pave the way for progressive reconditioning and rehabilitation
of the mill equipment that are scheduled 1st quarter of 2006.

At the underground First Lift complex, the headframe of the DAS
main shaft is also undergoing extensive repair and
reconditioning. Old steel braces and lateral members were
replaced, derusted, and/or repainted. As scheduled, this will
likewise be completed by the end of October. Earmarked to follow
this work is the reconditioning of the hoist facility and
eventual dewatering of the underground mine.

AVI, subsidiary construction company of Atlas, was contracted in
undertaking the facility rehabilitation and improvement jobs.

In the light of the current pre-contract rehabilitation work
being carried out, a fitting ceremony is planned in early
November 2005 to inaugurate the new Administration building that
will set the ground for a full-scale rehabilitation of the whole
Carmen Copper Project.

COLLEGE ASSURANCE: Hits Watchdog's Directive
--------------------------------------------
College Assurance Plans Philippines Inc. (CAP) criticized an
order issued by the corporate watchdog, directing the ailing
pre-need firm to submit its audited financial statements,
according to The Philippine Star.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 28
served a subpoena duces tecum on CAP's former auditor, CGM &
Co., requiring the submission of CAP's financial statements for
Dec. 31, 2003.

But CAP said the regulator's move is a "veiled fishing
expedition" in order to obtain evidence that may be used against
the pre-need firm. The firm insisted that there is no basis for
SEC's directive and is only meant to harass the pre-need
provider.

CAP legal counsel Gilbert Reyes of the Poblador, Bautista &
Reyes law office cited Sec. 53 of the Securities Regulation Code
which states that any person requested or subpoenaed to produce
documents or testify in any investigation shall simultaneously
be notified in writing of the purpose of such investigation.

Considering that there is no legal basis and justification to
require the submission of the working papers, Mr. Reyes said
they are withholding their consent to the production of any of
their clients' records in their care and trust unless expressly
authorized by the rehabilitation court.

GILLAMAC LIFE: Needs to Explain Trust Fund Shortfall
----------------------------------------------------
The corporate regulator has directed Gillamac Life & Pension
Plans Inc. to explain its failure to address its trust fund
deficiency, according to BusinessWorld.

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued a show-cause order
against the pre-need firm for violating pre-need rules through
its failure to solve its fund shortfall and inability to meet
its monthly trust fund contribution.

The Company, controlled by Cecilio V. Gillamac of Cebu City, has
8,107 planholders. Its actuarial reserve liability is Php49.55
million against a trust fund of Php37.91 million. Its trust fund
deficiency stands at Php11.63 million.

Gillamac is the latest among pre-need firms, which were issued
show-cause orders by the SEC for violating pre-need rules.

The nontraditional instruments and securities department of the
SEC monitors the performance of pre-need firms as part of
continuing efforts to prevent the industry's collapse and stop
smaller players from ending up like pre-need leaders College
Assurance Plans (Philippines), Inc., Pacific Plans, Inc., and
Platinum Plans Philippines, Inc., which filed for rehabilitation
as they fail to meet maturing obligations due to uncontrolled
tuition increases.


LEPANTO CONSOLIDATED: NLRC Hands Down Decision on Labor Issue
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lepanto Consolidated Mining Co. advised that in a Decision dated
September 22, 2005, the National Labor Relations Commission
(NLRC) ruled that the termination of the nineteen (19) Lepanto
Employees Union (LEU) officers who participated in the illegal
strike at the Lepanto mines from June to September 2005 "was
effected in faithful compliance with the law and existing
jurisprudence on the matter".

The enforcement of the termination is already fait accompli in
view of the Memorandum of Agreement between Lepanto and the LEU
whereby the 19 union officers had expected severance of their
employment.

MAYNILAD WATER: Consuji's Bid to Take Stake Hits Snag
-----------------------------------------------------
An attempt by Consuji-led DMCI Holdings Inc. acquire the
interest of a French firm in water concessionaire Maynilad Water
Services Inc. has encountered a roadblock, according to The
Manila Times.

DMCI said it will review its options to buy out Maynilad after
French firm Ondeo Holdings refused to unload its stake in the
water distributor.

Ondeo reportedly wanted a higher bid for its 16-percent Maynilad
interest. DMCI offered an 18-percent to 20-percent discount for
loans but Ondeo wanted a higher loan discount of 24 percent to
26 percent.

DMCI Chief Finance Officer Herbert Consuji said Ondeo is already
hinting at the possibility of liquefying its Maynilad share,
especially since it is the foreign firm's last investment in the
Philippines.

But despite the issue, DMCI is still keen on fully acquiring
Maynilad. Once the consortium formed between DMCI, Japan-based
Marubeni and Australia-based Macquarie Inc. chooses to be more
aggressive in its bid to take over Maynilad, Consunji said that
the group would be willing to buy at an amount the parties
involved can agree upon.

Earlier, Marubeni asked for more than a 20-percent stake in
Maynilad but DMCI said that this may not be effected unless
Ondeo's stake is also bought by the consortium.

State-run Metropolitan Waterworks Sewerage System, which now
holds majority stake in Maynilad, has yet to release the terms
of reference of its planned sale of the water utility.

SM EQUICOM: Closes Doors After 20 Years
---------------------------------------
Mounting losses have forced information and technology firm SM
Equicom Computer Services Inc. to permanently cease 20 years of
operations, Today News reveals.

The Company, co-owned by retail magnate Henry Sy, ended
operations on August 31, 2005 due to continuing financial woes.

Ricardo S. Martinez, DOLE-National Capital Region director, said
his unit received the closure letter of SM Equicom, and
forwarded it to the Statistics Division, which confirmed receipt
of the same.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), however, has yet
to receive a notice of dissolution from the company.

Records at the SEC's Company Registration and Monitoring
Department showed the company's last annual financial statement
was filed April 2004.

In its 2003 financial statement, the company still posted a net
income of P3.52 million from earnings of Php4.11 million in
2002. Its revenues had risen to Php505.15 million in 2003 from
Php468.76 million in 2002.

The company's expenses had grown to Php495.76 million from
Php458.65 million over the same period. This was mainly due to
higher cost of sales at Php419.62 million and higher operating
expenses at Php76.15 million.

The company posted higher other charges, instead of other
income, worth Php3.53 million in 2003 from Php2.91 million in
2002.

Its receivables, inventories and prepaid expenses and other
current assets had risen to Php24.87 million, Php23.48 million
and Php5.25 million.

The company was engaged in the sale and lease of computers,
parts and supplies. Its average number of employees ran to 120
in 2002 and 2003.
