AUSTRALIAN REGIONAL: Broker Found Guilty of Two Charges
-------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Adam Mazzochetti, of Geelong, Victoria, has been found
guilty in the Broadmeadows Magistrates Court, Victoria, of two
charges of managing a company while disqualified.

Mr. Mazzochetti, a former director of Geelong-based mortgage-
broking company Australian Regional Home Loans Pty Ltd
(Deregistered), appeared before Court on the charges following
an investigation by the Australian Securities and Investments
Commission (ASIC).

ASIC alleged Mr. Mazzochetti managed two companies, Australian
Regional Home Loans Pty Ltd (Deregistered) and ARHL (VIC) Pty
Ltd trading as 'Victoria Regional Home Loans', despite being
disqualified to do so after being convicted on 28 November 2001
of 16 counts of obtaining property by deception under the Crimes
Act 1958 (VIC). Australian Regional Home Loans Pty Ltd
(Deregistered) had gone into liquidation while Mr. Mazzochetti
was disqualified from managing companies.

Mr. Mazzochetti was convicted and sentenced to a conviction bond
under the Crimes Act 1914 (Cth) in the amount of $500 to be of
good behavior for 12 months subject to a condition that he pay
$500 to the Court fund and costs.

The Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions prosecuted the
matter.

Background

The Corporations Act 2001 automatically disqualifies a person
from managing corporations for five years if a person had been
convicted of an offence involving dishonesty and punishable by
imprisonment for at least three months. Accordingly, due to his
conviction on 28 November 2001, Mr. Mazzochetti was
automatically disqualified from managing corporations from the
date of the above conviction on 28 November 2001.

FORTESCUE METALS: Sues Over Shovelanna Tenement Application
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fortescue Metals Group Limited advised that this morning it has
commenced an action in the Federal Court of Australia against
Cyril Resources Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Cazaly
Resources Ltd), Mr. Natahn Mcmahon and Maincoast Pty Ltd (a
company associated with Mr. McMahon).

The Federal Court action is in specific regard to the Shovelanna
tenement and is brought to secure Fortescue's interests. In
early 2004, Fortescue enters into an agreement with Nathan
Macmahon and Maincoast Pty Ltd in which Fortescue was granted
pre-emptive rights to all iron ore prospective tenement
applications made by these entities. Since then there have been
iron ore rights provided to Fortescue under the agreement for
which remuneration has been paid.

Fortescue contends that the Shovelanna tenement application
should have been made with due regard to the agreement and has
been negotiating in good faith with Nathan McMahon to determine
its rights. Regrettably these discussions have recently broken
down and Fortescue now has no alternative other than to take
legal action to protect its position under its agreement.

The Shovelanna tenement would be a welcome addition to
Fortescue's tenement portfolio. Fortescue will pursue its
contractual entitlement to access the iron ore rights of this
prospective area. Fortescue also categorically denies media
speculation that it has acquired share in Cazaly Resources
Limited.

MONEY FOR LIVING: Failed Money Firm Under Fire
----------------------------------------------
Administrators investigating the failed Money for Living company
said they have found transactions that may be overturned,
according to the Herald Sun.

They have also found unsecured creditors and parties linked to
the firm's owners were paid just before the company fell.

The disputed purchases include a Jaguar car, which has been
advertised for sale on the Internet for AU$125,000, and a house
at Wongarra.

Money for Living's collapse has left more than 100 elderly
people in the dark about whether they can continue living in
their homes.

Administrator George Georges, of Ferrier Hodgson, told the
Federal Court the investigation into the standing of the home
owners and the company's debts was continuing, although it had
been slowed by the disorganized and incomplete state of the
company's records.


MYER LIMITED: Hungry Harvey Wants a Slice of Melbourne
------------------------------------------------------
Harvey Norman's chief executive signified his interest to buy
the ailing Myer Limited department store chain, according to the
Sydney Morning Herald.

Still not satisfied with acquisitions in Slovenia and Ireland,
Gerry Harvey now wants to gain foothold in Melbourne.

Mr. Harvey said he was working through a prospective bidder's
information. He added he was looking to team with a private
equity firm to bid for the loss-making retailer.

Harvey Norman joins South Africa's largest retailer, Edgars
Consolidated Stores, as an interested buyer. David Jones boss
Mark McInnes has said he wants "a handful" of the stores. Former
Coles Myer director Solomon Lew is understood to be interested,
as are private equity firms Newbridge Capital and Catalyst.

Coles Myer, Myer's parent, announced in August it would examine
options for the Myer business, including a full sale, demerger
or maintaining the status quo, with analysts estimating the 61
stores could fetch about AU$450 million.

QANTAS AIRWAYS: Sets Off Security Alarm
---------------------------------------
Qantas Airways is concerned passengers could pay more for
flights if the Federal Government increases security at
Australia's airports, The Age relates.

The carrier's chief operating officer, Peter Gregg, said
yesterday he will issue a stern warning to the Government during
a meeting with the Federal Parliament's Public Accounts and
Audit Committee in Sydney.

Qantas said any costs it is asked to dole out to boost security
will ultimately be passed on to passengers.

"This is an industry that, unlike every part of the aviation
(industry) around the world, the airlines are paying for most of
the security themselves here, and the passengers ultimately,"
Mr. Gregg said.

The Government was set to take evidence on aviation security
with public hearings in Sydney yesterday and in Melbourne today.
Among other witnesses appearing before the inquiry will be the
operators of Sydney and Melbourne international airports, and
Australian Air Express.

WESTPOINT GROUP: ASIC Takes Court Action
----------------------------------------
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has
commenced legal proceedings in relation to a number of companies
within the Westpoint Group, as part of an investigation into the
affairs of the companies.

ASIC today filed an application in the Federal Court in Perth
seeking the winding up of York Street Mezzanine Pty Ltd (York
Street) and the appointment of a provisional liquidator to the
company.

York Street is a company within the Westpoint Group which has
raised so-called 'mezzanine finance' for a property development
at 2 York Street in Sydney by issuing promissory notes to the
general public. ASIC contends that the project is suffering from
a significant shortfall of assets over liabilities so that some
900 investors are at serious risk of not receiving repayment of
their investments, currently estimated to total over $75
million.

ASIC is currently investigating the affairs of the Westpoint
Group, and has sought the appointment of a provisional
liquidator to help protect the assets of York Street.

ASIC has also applied for declarations, injunctions and
disclosure orders regarding alleged misleading and deceptive
conduct by York Street in its communications to investors who
hold promissory notes. The Court has also been asked to consider
an application for declarations and injunctions against
Westpoint Management Ltd on the basis that it was knowingly
concerned in, or a party to, York Street's alleged misleading
and deceptive conduct. ASIC will be asking for interim orders to
preserve the assets of the company.

These matters will be heard on 24 November 2005.

Other court action commenced by ASIC includes an application
filed on Friday, 18 November 2005 for orders seeking the
lodgment of annual financial statements by a number of companies
within the Westpoint Group namely, Emu Brewery Mezzanine Ltd,
North Sydney Finance Ltd, Market Street Mezzanine Ltd, Chocolate
Factory (Winthrop) Ltd and Paragon Apartments Ltd.

ASIC is also seeking orders for the lodgment of annual financial
statements by three managed investment schemes operated by
Westpoint Management Ltd being Warnbro Fair Syndicate, Paragon
Commercial Syndicate and Westpoint Income Fund.

ASIC's action follows the failure by the respective companies
and schemes to lodge accounts for the financial year ended 30

CHINA CONSTRUCTION: Moody's Upgrades Rating to D- from E+
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has upgraded to D- from E+ the Bank
Financial Strength Rating (BFSR) for China Construction Bank
Corporation (CCB).

The A2 long-term deposit rating and P-1 short-term deposit
rating are unaffected. The outlook for all ratings is stable.
The upgrade concludes a review of CCB commenced on September 9,
2005.

The upgrade reflects CCB's significantly improved financial
position, in particular strengthened asset quality and capital
levels. The IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which was
completed on October 27, 2005, raised US$9.2 billion in new
capital, which further improved CCB's capital position.

However, these improvements were largely due to external forces.
A clear track record for such progress - as a result of the
bank's own efforts - has yet to emerge. Asset quality, although
showing signs of stability after the government's recent
measures to cool down the economy and the real estate sector in
particular, remains untested by economic cycles. In particular,
the special-mentioned loan ratio remains very high - a concern
for future asset quality trends.

Moody's expects CCB to continue with its reforms and maintain
its leading franchise through the pursuit of quality growth in
China's high-growth banking market. After its IPO, operations
are expected to become more transparent and subject to scrutiny,
given its status now as a public company. Corporate governance
and risk management should accordingly gradually improve.
Furthermore, the introduction of Bank of America as a strategic
investor has the potential to help improve operations over the
long run.

China Construction Bank Corporation, headquartered in Beijing,
is China's third largest commercial bank. As of June 2005, it
had total assets of US$510 billion.

CITY TELECOM: Forecast Losses Until 2007
----------------------------------------
City Telecom (H.K.) Limited prepares to spend more on marketing
to acquire the 369,000 customers it needs to increase its
customer base to one million - even if the effort keeps it in
the red for two more years, The South China Morning Post
reports.

A $237.7 million depreciation and amortization expense helped
drag the company into a loss. Revenue shrank 2.8 percent to
HK$1.13 B from HK$1.16 billion in 2004, as sales from its
international direct dialing business dropped 15.2 percent,
offsetting the 11.6 percent improvement from its fixed-line

INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL: Moody's Upgrades Rating to D+
------------------------------------------------------
Moody's upgraded the bank financial strength rating of
Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (Asia) Limited (ICBCA) to
D+ from D, concluding the review commenced on September 15,
2005.

The A2 and Prime-1 long-and short-term deposit ratings were not
placed under review, as they already incorporate strong parental
support.

The outlooks for all ratings are stable.

The upgrade reflects ICBCA's improved financials and successful
integration of Fortis Bank Asia Hong Kong, acquired in 2004 and
formally completed in October 2005. The merger allowed the bank
to develop a more diversified business platform with enhanced
small-medium-enterprise (SME) banking franchise, thus lowering
its dependency on corporate banking sector. Moreover, the recent
acquisition of China Mercantile Bank is expected to improve
cross-border SME banking offerings.

Although ICBCA remains a small player in Hong Kong's mature
market, it has a valuable franchise and brand name enhanced by
its close relationship with its parent Industrial & Commercial
Bank of China (ICBC), China's largest bank. ICBCA is ICBC's
largest overseas subsidiary, formed via the acquisition of the
former Union Bank of Hong Kong in 2000 and injection of the
commercial banking business of ICBC's Hong Kong branch in 2001.
Since then, ICBCA has substantially grown its earnings and
assets, as well as significantly reduced its legacy non-
performing loans, supported by strong capital injections from
its parent.

ICBCA's profitability has shown improvement from the Fortis
acquisition but it is still significantly below the Hong Kong
peer average due to its relatively lower exposure to higher
yield lending and the incurrence of integration related
expenses. Further improvements in margins are expected as
integration is near completion.

Also, ICBCA has a lower deposit base relative to its Hong Kong
peers, thus, a higher funding cost. ICBCA's loan to deposit
ratio is significantly higher than the local peers, a reflection
of its less favorable funding mix and aggressive asset growth.

Asset quality of ICBCA is sound with impaired loans ratio of
0.68%, well below local peer average. The shift in business
focus to more SME banking will test ICBCA's risk management
skills. The bank's demonstrated ability to control credit costs
amid growth will be positive for its ratings.

ICBCA is likely to remain acquisitive in the future. Moody's
acknowledges ICBCA's track record so far in managing local
acquisitions; however, sizeable future acquisitions will test
the management skills and pressure capital.

ICBCA is headquartered in Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region and had total assets of HK$107,819 million (US$13,823
million) as at June 30, 2005.

The following ratings are upgraded:

- Bank financial strength rating to D+ from D with stable
outlook

Other related debt ratings:

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Asia)

- Long term/ short term deposit ratings (Foreign), A2/P-1

ICBCA (C.I.) Limited

- Backed Senior Unsecured (Foreign) rating: A2

BHARAT PETROLEUM: Signals Interest in DTH
-----------------------------------------
The Board of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) is expected
to discuss the proposal of launching a DTH TV platform before
March 2006, Television Point reports.

BPCL has been trying to garner more revenue from retail outlets
and other sources for sometime now. The proposed DTH TV platform
is inspired by similar ventures run by GAIL and Indian Railways.

BPCL Chairman and Managing Director A K Sinha is keen on
launching a DTH TV platform to manage BPCL's huge subsidy
burden. Presently, BPCL's subsidy burden on kerosene and LPG
alone amounts to INR30,000 crore - INR15,000 crore on kerosene
and the balance on LPG, besides aviation turbine fuel as well as
other products.

A source said, "BPCL already has a Ku band transponder on Insat
2E, which could be leveraged. However, there are factors such as
technology-related issues, content management and customer
management that would determine the DTH plan."

The DTH TV platform venture would be a source of revenue without
the risks of the petroleum business, the source said.

However, the board has its own concerns. BPCL would not have any
first mover advantage in a DTH market, which is already
dominated by seasoned players. Other concerns of the BPCL board
include the content management model as well as regulatory
issues in an era of convergence.

The board is reportedly reluctant about letting BPCL get into
content production, considering the fact that DTH TV players
produce content besides sourcing it from production houses.

FOOD CORPORATION: Teams Up with Adani for Grain Management
----------------------------------------------------------
The Food Corporation of India (FCI) has welcomed private help in
handling, transportation and storage of foodgrains in bulk,
Business Standard reveals.

State-owned FCI has awarded a contract to the Adani Agri
Logistics Ltd. for creating the necessary facilities for
cleaning, drying, transportation and storage of foodgrains in
bulk in silos. This infrastructure will be created on the build-
own-operate (BOO) basis by the Adani firm.

The move is reportedly a part of FCI's efforts to improve
efficiency of India's grain management system.

Mechanized handling and storage of grains in bulk would help cut
down storage and transit losses besides minimizing the costs
incurred on weighing, bagging, stitching and handling of grain-
filled bags.

The proposed project would help save approximately INR150 crore
a year by eliminating unnecessary operations and losses.

BHINNEKA MULTI: Likely to Fall into Bankruptcy
----------------------------------------------
State financing firm PT Bahana Pembinaan Usaha Indonesia (BPUI)
filed a bankruptcy claim against investment firm PT Bhinneka
Multi Corporation (BMC) due to its failure to pay debts, reports
the Jakarta Post.

According to BPUI, BMC has failed to pay its outstanding
IDR235.7 billion debt to the financing firm. It filed the
banruptcy petition with the Central Jakarta Commercial Court.

The court's panel of judges concluded its initial examination of
the case last Nov. 21, 2005, and are slated to deliver a verdict
on Nov. 30, 2005.

BMC sought out a working capital loan in 1997 from BPUI; in
2001, attempts were made to resolve the debt, with no results.


PERTAMINA: To Distribute Subsidized Fuel Until Dec. 31
------------------------------------------------------
The Indonesian government extended state-owned oil and gas firm
PT Pertamina's public service obligation (PSO) on domestic fuel
distribution until Dec. 31, 2005, Antara News reports.

According to Minister of Energy & Mineral Resources Purnomo
Yusgiantoro, Ministerial Decree no. 2043/2005 extended the
assignment, which was slated to expire on Nov. 24, 2005. Section
10 subsection 1 of the decree stipulates that the government
will extend Pertamina's authority to continue as a supplier and
distributor of subsidized fuel if no other company could fulfill
such qualifications.

This is a follow-up to Law No. 22/2001, which allowed local and
foreign private firms to distribute subsidized fuel in
Indonesia, thereby ending the Company's monoply on fuel
distribution.

Oil & Gas Downstream Business Regulatory Agency (BP Migas)
official Eri Purnomo said that Pertamina may continue to
distribute fuel unitl next year, whereas private firms would be
ready to do so only in 2007.

PERTAMINA: Insists on Joint Operation of Cepu Block
---------------------------------------------------
State oil firm PT Pertamina still wants to be a joint operator
in the development of the oil-rich Cepu block, reports Reuters
News.

Pertamina president Widya Purnama said that talks between the
Company and its partner, U.S.-based ExxonMobil Corp. are still
deadlocked on the issue, as it is firm by its stand to be a
joint operator, while ExxonMobil is also sticking to its demand
to be sole operator of the oil block.

ExxonMobil states that according to an agreement it signed with
a government-led negotiating team, it was the rightful operator
of the Cepu block.

The government has threatened to develop the Cepu block without
the cooperation of both firms, if they are unalbe to settle the
dispute by the end of the year.

It is estimated that the Cepu block would begin production in
2008 after an initial IDR20.07 trillion investment, but the
production date may be delayed if the dispute is not resolved.

SANYO ELECTRIC: R&I Downgrades Rating to BBB
--------------------------------------------
Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I) has downgraded the
following ratings of Sanyo Electric Credit Co. to BBB and a-2
from A and a-1, and also has placed them on the Rating Monitor
scheme, with a view to downgrading.

RATIONALE:

On November 18, Sanyo Electric Credit Co., Ltd. announced a net
loss of JPY11.4 billion on a consolidated basis in its interim
result ending in September 2005 (the initial projection was 3.4
billion yen in net profit). Simultaneously, it has made a
downward revision for the year ending in March 2006 with the
projection of net losses at JPY7.5 billion (the former
projection was JPY7.0 billion in net profit). This was mainly
due to the increase in allowances following the revision of
asset contents and the implementation of fixed asset impairment
write offs.

In the past, R&I indicated that attention needed to be paid to
trends in the company's existing large lot borrowers.
Subsequently, deterioration in results of a number of these
borrowers resulted in an increase in risk beyond expectation.
The failure of risk management to function appropriately
resulted in a delay in the recognition of risk, which in turn
resulted in Sanyo Electric Credit's delay in making financial
arrangements and necessitated an urgent review of the risk
management system. Although business relationship between Sanyo
Electric Credit and its parent company, Sanyo Electric Co.,
Ltd., is scarce, it is difficult to ignore the negative impact
of the parent's declining credit quality.

R&I believes that the increase in financial reserves for large
lot customers will result in progress in financial arrangements
for large lot problem borrowers, but further verification of
remaining risk is necessary. Sanyo Electric Credit is presently
taking steps to tighten group company management through
organizational reform and other measures and is putting in place
a risk management system with guidelines for the management of
large lot borrowers. However, it is not easy to establish a
highly efficient risk management system to control credit
arrangements that are already in operation. It is also necessary
to determine the impact the decline in creditworthiness
accompanying the worsening performance of parent company Sanyo
Electric will have on business developments and the fundraising
base of Sanyo Electric Credit.

Therefore, R&I have downgraded the ratings for Sanyo Electric
Credit to BBB and a-2, and has remained the rating on the Rating
Monitor with a view to downgrading. R&I will announce a new
rating following the next review.

SANYO ELECTRIC: S&P Downgrades Rating to 'BB'
---------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has lowered its long-term
corporate credit rating to 'BB' from 'BBB-' on Sanyo Electric
Co. Ltd., and its rating on Sanyo Electric's long-term senior
unsecured debt to 'BB+' from 'BBB-'.

The ratings remain on CreditWatch with negative implications
where they were placed on Sept. 28, 2005, following Sanyo
Electric's downward revision of its profit forecast for 2005.

Many of the measures unveiled in Sanyo Electric's restructuring
plan released on November 18 are still being negotiated. As a
result, the plan failed to clear uncertainty over the
probability of a recovery in earnings. In addition, the company
might pay additional restructuring costs as the restructuring
plan proceeds.

"Even assuming some increase in capital, we are concerned that
Sanyo Electric will not be able to restore and stabilize its
financial profile, considering the possibility of prolonged
stagnant earnings and further restructuring costs," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Katsuyuki Nakai.

If a capital injection is not conducted, the ratio of net debt
to capital will deteriorate to over 85%. However, even if ¯300
billion in the form of common equity is injected, the ratio will
improve to just over 60%, which is almost the same as that in
fiscal 2004 (ended March 31, 2005). Furthermore, the company is
unlikely to achieve its total debt reduction target of ¯600
billion, and the majority of any drop in debt would likely have
to be accomplished from nonconsolidation of its financial
subsidiary.

At the same time, the rating on the long-term senior unsecured
debt issued by Sanyo Electric was lowered by only one notch and
is now higher than the company's issuer rating. The rating on
the senior unsecured debt reflects the likelihood of debt
forgiveness by its major creditor bank in the case of a default,
taking into account the bank's supportive stance. This
supportive stance is indicated by the appointment of the bank's
managing director to vice president at Sanyo Electric, and its
response to Sanyo Electric's capital increase plan.

The CreditWatch listing will be resolved after completion of a
review of Sanyo Electric's prospects for recovery in its
earnings and financial profile. The focal points of this review
are:

  -- The feasibility and expected results of further
restructuring in audio-visual equipment, semiconductors, and
consumer products;

  -- The details of the plan to raise capital;

  -- Negotiation of the sale of a financial subsidiary and the
impact on earnings and financial profile;

  -- The schedule and plan to finance debt reduction; and

  -- The feasibility of the plan to increase profits for core
businesses, including car audio-visual equipment and mobile
phones, which have very competitive markets.

Any further delay in restructuring could put downward pressure
on the ratings on Sanyo Electric. A future downgrade could be by
more than one notch if Standard & Poor's determines that it
would be difficult for the company to maintain an appropriate
business or financial profile for the rating.

Currently, Sanyo Electric is not expected to increase its
capital through a debt-for-equity swap. If a debt-for-equity
swap is included in the capital increase plan, a rating of 'SD'
(Selective Default) would be assigned to Sanyo Electric.

SOJITZ CORPORATION: JCR Assigns BBB- Rating
-------------------------------------------
Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCR) has assigned a BBB- rating to
the bonds of Sojitz Corporation.

Sojitz Corporation has improved the financial structures and
quality of assets, disposing of the money-losing assets in
accordance with the new business plan and issuing preferred
shares. However, there remain some unprofitable operations. Such
operations will continue their operations to be examined on its
feasibility. They may incur additional loss, though the amount
will not be large.

The operating performance has been going well, supported by rise
in prices of energies and metals. The Company plans to make
investments in new businesses to strengthen the earnings base.
JCR deems it necessary to watch carefully the future
developments as to whether the Company can keep on increasing
the earnings while enhancing risk management.

There also remains issue on quality of the capital, which
consists of preferred shares issued to lenders for debt-for-
equity swaps. It plans to repurchase and extinguish the 1st
series class I preferred shares in the current fiscal year.
Sojitz plans to keep the current level of capital. It will
repurchase the preferred shares using the periodic earnings to
prevent dilution of the common stocks due to conversion of these
preferred shares into common stocks in and after next fiscal
year.

The Company is required to retain the current level of earnings
stably for this purpose.

* Japanese Electronics Firms Struggle to Survive
------------------------------------------------
Two Japanese electronics manufacturing are struggling to survive
competition from low-cost consumer electronics manufacturers,
according to Personal Computer World.

Pioneer Corporation and Sanyo Electric Company are facing
harshly declining profits from former cash cows, and are looking
to cutbacks and management changes for a solution.

Facing low-cost competitors elsewhere in Asia, Japanese
electronics giants are no longer able to profit from some of the
innovative technology that they developed in the past, according
to analysts.

Analysts have suggested that Pioneer must outsource more of its
older technology to low-cost manufacturers in Taiwan, Korea and
China.

Sanyo, meanwhile, has been troubled by big losses in its home
appliance division and has seen a slump in once healthy sales of
digital cameras and mobile phones.

BELL & ORDER: Unit Served with Winding Up Petition
--------------------------------------------------
Bell & Order Berhad (B&O) issued to Bursa Malaysia Securities
Berhad details of the Petition on Winding Up served on Bell &
Order Engineering Pte Ltd (BOE).

The Board of Directors of B&O informed the Exchange that its
wholly owned subsidiary, BOE has been served a winding up
petition by Foong Yeap (NRIC No. S2506015F) and Ee Bee Yen (NRIC
No. S1349167D) (the Petitioners) in the High Court of the
Republic of Singapore, in the matter of Part X of the Companies
Act, Chapter 50 (1994 Revised Edition).

The winding up petition was received by B&O on November 18,
2005. The Petitioners have claimed a sum of SGD106,468.24 being
the amount of indebtedness of SGD105,128.12 owing by BOE to
United Overseas Bank (UOB) and legal cost of SGD1,340.12 paid by
the Petitioners. UOB granted advances or loans or otherwise give
credit to BOE. The Petitioners executed a continuing guarantee
on February 18, 1994 guaranteeing the indebtedness of BOE up to
a sum of SGD$350,000 (the Guarantee).

By a certificate of account dated May 11, 2005, UOB certified
(pursuant to clause 27 of the Guarantee) that there is a sum of
SGD105,128.12 due and owing from BOE to UOB as at March 17,
2005. UOB instructed their solicitors M/s Lee and Lee to make a
demand against the Petitioners on the Guarantee for the said sum
of SGD105,128.12 and legal costs of SGD1,340.12, totaling
SGD106,468.24. On or about June 23, 2005, the Petitioners paid
to M/s Lee and Lee the sum of SGD106,468.24.

BOE received a letter dated October 19, 2005 from M/s Yeo Wee
Kiong Law Corporation, the solicitors representing the
Petitioners, demanding immediate payment of the sum
SGD105,128.12 and legal cost of SGD1,340.12, being payment made
by the Petitioners to UOB pursuant to the continuing guarantee
dated February 18, 1994.

In B&O's financial statement for the financial year ended
December 31, 2004, the amount of B&O's investment in BOE has
been fully provided. BOE has also ceased operations and
therefore the petition is not expected to have any material
financial and operational impact to the Company.

The Company does not intend to oppose the winding-up petition.

MANGIUM INDUSTRIES: Unit Fails to Pay Dues
------------------------------------------
Mangium Industries Berhad (MIB) advised Bursa Malaysia
Securities Berhad that its wholly owned subsidiary, Mangium
Sawmill Sdn Bhd (MSSB) has not paid, and is deemed to have
defaulted in its repayments on facilities granted by Standard
Chartered Bank Malaysia Berhad (SCB) and Southern Bank Berhad
(SBB), which are unsecured.

The details of the facilities currently in default in compliance
with Section 3.1 of Practice Note 1/2001 are as tabulated in
Table 1 attached.

To view a full copy of Table 1, go to
http://bankrupt.com/misc/MangiumIndustries112205.doc

(A) Reason for default in payments

Due to the unfavorable timber market and depressed prices for
timber and timber related products throughout Asia since the
financial crisis in the year 1997, many of the Group's buyers
were adversely affected and are facing financial difficulties
leading to their inability to settle their outstanding balances
despite efforts made by the management to collect these
outstanding debts with the Group. As a result, the cashflow
generated from operations was not sufficient to service the
interest and principal obligations to the lenders as and when
they fell due.

(B) Measures by the listed issuer to address the default in
payments

Both SCB and SBB have agreed to the Proposed Debt Settlement &
Restructuring Scheme announced by MIB on December 22, 2003.

(C) Financial and legal implications in respect of the default
in payments including the extent of the listed issuer's
liability in respect of the obligations incurred under the
agreements for the indebtedness

The estimated total outstanding as at October 31, 2005, in
relation to the payments, which are in default and are the
subject matter of this announcement amounts to MYR14,611,307.91.

Since MIB is the guarantor for these loans, MIB is liable for
the full amount and any further interest and financial cost
levied there or until the settlement of these debts.

(D) In the event the default is in respect of secured loan
stocks or bonds, the lines of action available to the guarantors
or security holders against the listed issuer

Not applicable.

(E) In the event the default is in respect of payments under a
debenture, to specify whether the default will empower the
debenture holder to appoint a receiver or receiver and manager

Not applicable.

(F) Whether the default in payment constitutes an event of
default under a different agreement for indebtedness (cross
default) and the details thereof, where applicable

The facilities listed above represent the borrowings of the
MIB's wholly owned subsidiary, MSSB, and as a result of their
default, the remaining facilities granted by other lenders to
MSSB are all technically in default by virtue of the "Cross
Default" clauses in the Letter of Offers.

However, the lenders have kept in view further legal action
other than those, which have been disclosed in our Annual Report
and Announcements, since MIB is in active negotiations with them
to normalize and regularize the accounts.

COLLEGE ASSURANCE: Rebuts Planholders' Claims
---------------------------------------------
College Assurance Plan Philippines Inc. (CAP) ensured
planholders they will be given top priority in payments right
after the pre-need firm's rehabilitation petition is approved,
according to The Manila Times.

CAP issued the statement after disgruntled planholders filed a
rejoinder before a local court hearing the company's
rehabilitation petition. The planholders claimed that CAP's
rehabilitation program ignored their interests.

In a joint petition, plan holders Allan E. de la Cerna and
Emilia J. Imperial earlier said the company's rehabilitation
plan "did not show or provide payment of its liabilities to plan
holders."

GLOBAL STEELWORKS: Creditors Formally Waive Default Call
--------------------------------------------------------
Majority of Global Steelworks International's creditors have
agreed to scrap its default declaration against the company's
Indian owner, Global Ispat Holdings Inc., The Philippine Star
has learned.

The decision was reached after the Global Steelworks (formerly
National Steel Corporation) agrees to issue another Php250
million (US$4.5 million) letter of credit (L/C) to secure its
next loan payment. The creditor banks will issue the waiver once
Global Steel submits the US$4.5-million L/C.

Global Steelworks was declared in default by the banks last
month after it tried to partially prepay its October 2006 loan
without issuing an additional L/C to secure the remaining
payment.

The steel firm was considered "technically in default and its
remaining loan of Php12.5 billion due and demandable" following
its attempt last Oct. 15 to issue a Php250-million or US$4.5-
million L/C guarantee for its Oct. 15, 2006 loan payment of
Php500 million or US$9 million.

The banks had to call Global Steelworks in default first to
collect on the L/C it issued. However, Global Steel negotiated
with the creditor banks to issue another L/C for US$4.5 million
in exchange for a waiver of non-default.

The creditors had informed the firm of their decision to lift
the default declaration last Friday, Nov. 18.

NATIONAL POWER: Zero-coupon Bonds Yield 9.875%
----------------------------------------------
National Power Corporation's (Napocor) zero-coupon bonds issue
on Wednesday was deemed a success, according to BusinessWorld.

Investors snapped up Php11 billion worth of the Napocor bonds,
ensuring that the state-run power firm meets all its cash
obligations for this year.

Napocor accepted a yield-to-maturity rate of 9.875 percent for
the seven-year bonds.

Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (PSALM)
president Nieves L. Osorio said the agency is happy with the
results even if the yield is much lower than forecast.

The long-term fixed rated bonds were sold through the Bureau of
Treasury. The auction was oversubscribed with banks wanting to
buy as much as Php14.723 billion worth of zeroes against a
Php11-billion public offering.

Napocor received only Php5.6-billion cash but will pay Php11
billion at maturity.

Proceeds of the bonds, which will mature in 2012 and guaranteed
by the government, will be used to pay for the debt-saddled
power firm's maturing obligations, capital expenditures, and
general funding requirements.

Meanwhile, The Philippine Star reported Napocor is expected to
break-even this year.

Ms. Osorio said Napocor will improve in its performance in 2005
as a result pf the adjustment in power tariffs as well as
improvements in world oil prices and the peso-dollar exchange
rate.

The PSALM head added Napocor would be able to use only P5.6
billion of the net proceeds for plant operation and other
capital expense.

"At least we have raised everything we need for 2005."

So far, the power firm has raised the equivalent of AU$600
million from foreign and domestic borrowing this year. About
AU$400 million came from foreign sources while the rest came
from the domestic market.

NATIONAL POWER: Geothermal Assets First to Go in Privatization
--------------------------------------------------------------
National Power Corporation's (Napocor) geothermal assets are
expected to be divested first in the privatization of the
country's power sector, The Manila Bulletin reveals.

With these assets primarily linked to the proposed divestment
plan of the Philippine National Oil Company-Energy Development
Corporation (PNOC-EDC), it was noted that most of the issues
concerning the geothermal facilities are already being hammered
out with the Joint Congressional Power Commission.

In its last meeting, the JCPC has told the Power Sector Assets
and Liabilities Management Corporation (PSALM) to review its
priorities on asset sale; and the geothermal facilities were the
once proposed to be divested first.

The completion of the geothermal assets' disposal will ease
PSALM's dilemma over the need to fast-track Napocor's
privatization.

Earlier, PSALM committed to privatize at least 70 percent of the
Napocor's assets by first quarter of 2006 so that the industry
would be able to jumpstart open access.

However, most of the assets it earlier placed on the bidding
block are now facing delays; with the sale of the 600-megawatt
Calaca coal-fired power facility even deferred indefinitely.


SWIFT FOODS: Director Tenders Resignation
-----------------------------------------
Swift Foods Inc. advised that Mr. Eleuterio D. Coronel, in his
letter dated 21 November 2005, tendered his resignation as
Director of the Corporation due to time constraints from his
work as President of Philippine Townships, Inc.

The TCR-AP reported early this week that Swift Foods managed to
cut its net loss in the third quarter this year due to cost-cuts
and improved efficiencies.

The loss-making firm bled Php10 million in the third quarter to
September, significantly lower than the loss of Php89 million
recorded in the same period last year.

Swift Foods sells processed and canned meat products, poultry
products, and commercial feeds.

VITARICH CORPORATION: Net Losses Dip on Lower Cost, Expenses
------------------------------------------------------------
Vitarich Corp. narrowed its losses despite weaker sales in the
nine months to September as costs and expenses fell,
BusinessWorld reports.

The firm, a listed integrated producer and wholesaler of poultry
and animal feed products, saw its net losses fall 90.35 percent
to Php12.81 million from Php132.76 million a year ago
as it realized a Php41.31-milion income from operations. The
result is a reversal from Php62.56 million in operational losses
a year ago.

Cost and expenses for January to September improved to Php2.4
billion from Php3.35 billion. For the quarter, it contracted to
Php673.37 million from Php1.26 billion as the firm adopted
measures to lower the level of operating expenses.

In a filing, Vitarich said quarterly losses fell 72.7 percent to
Php17.08 million from Php62.56 million as loss from operations
dropped 96.2 percent to Php1.49 million from Php39.16 million.

Nine-month revenues went down to Php2.44 billion from Php3.29
billion. Quarterly revenues slipped to Php671.87 million from
Php1.22 billion.

However, average selling price improved as compared to last
year. As of September, sales volume for the foods division
dropped 42 percent from 2004 as a result of the company's
direction to focus on its feeds business.

"The feeds business has been affected by high foreign exchange
rate resulting in the increase in the price of imported raw
materials. However, animal feeds and aqua sales volume was
sustained in the third quarter of this year. Despite the poor
market condition and stiff competition, our feeds business is
steadily improving its margins and its turnover as well," the
company said.

* Fitch Says RP Banks' Financial Strength Hurt by Weak Profits
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings said that the financial strength of Philippine
banks remains constrained within a difficult operating
environment as credit demand continues to stagnate, despite
consolidation and higher capital requirements imposed on all
banks in the wake of the 1997 financial crisis.

This is compounded by concerns over the prolonged fiscal deficit
as well as persistent political uncertainty. The agency adds
that the banking sector as a whole remains quite weak and
fragmented.

In addition, while the central bank has implemented several
reform initiatives to improve regulatory oversight and reduce
banking risks, its enforcement capabilities continue to be
hampered in a sector dominated by large domestic banks majority-
owned by prominent Filipino business families wielding
significant political influence.

In its just-published report on the Philippines' banking system,
Fitch says recent M&A transactions amongst some of the bigger
banks have compounded this problem, consolidating control of the
banking system even more within this small group of private
interests. That said, the efficiency gains to arise out of such
consolidation are welcome.

The report also notes developments in the banks' asset quality,
highlighting the limited success and flaws of the SPV Act, which
was enacted to address the system's high level of bad loans that
until today, continues to undermine the profitability and
financial strength of the Philippine banks.

The report goes on to examine the accounting practices,
structure, and the performance of the banking sector in terms of
balance sheet growth, profitability and capital adequacy. It
concludes with a comprehensive review of the significant strides
made by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation in
strengthening the country's deposit insurance regime, as well as
recent developments and challenges facing the Philippine capital
markets.
