up.

immediately furnish the particulars of their claims in order to  
receive distribution of the assets.

AUSTRALIAN GAS: Moody's Cuts Senior Unsecured Rating to Baa1
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded Australian Gas Light  
Company's senior unsecured rating to Baa1 from A3.  The Baa1  
rating remains on review for further downgrade.

The downgrade reflects the deterioration in AGL's business and  
financial risk profiles which have been exacerbated by:

   -- the finalization of its 10% investment in the Papua New
      Guinea gas project at a higher price of AU$530 million;
      and  

   -- its recent acquisition of Southern Hydro.  

In Moody's opinion, the resultant weaker credit profile  
positions the company weakly at the A3 rating.  Both these  
investments are 100% debt funded, resulting in weaker financial  
metrics for its business risk profile.  

Whilst Moody's acknowledges strategic reasons for both  
investments and that they are expected to become earnings  
accretive, AGL's business risk profile will weaken in light of  
the proportionally higher earnings contribution from the Energy  
businesses.  These businesses are expected to contribute up to  
60% of consolidated EBIT over the next few years.  They are  
considered more risky and their cash flows are subject to  
greater volatility risk when compared to AGL's network and  
related businesses.  

Moody's considers AGL's investment in upstream gas fields as  
inherently more risky compared to its existing businesses.  The  
company would be exposed to political risk as well as some  
uncertainty on gas reserve levels.  That said, Moody's  
acknowledges that these fields are currently producing and, as a  
result, have a lower risk profile than a non-producing field.  

Further, the finalization of the PNG investment -- and the  
conversion of its gas supply agreement to binding agreements  
with PNG gas producers -- mean that the construction of the PNG  
gas pipeline now has a high likelihood of proceeding.  Given  
AGL's participation in this project, the associated construction  
risk and funding costs would stress the company's credit  
profile.  

In addition, Moody's believes the company's financial metrics  
have weakened to a level which is more appropriate for a lower  
rating with consideration of its business risk profile.  Over  
the next few years and without consideration of its de-merger  
plan, AGL's financial metrics would likely deteriorate to:

   -- FFO/Interest between 5.0 and 5.5 times,

   -- FFO/Debt 20-25%,

   -- RCF/Debt 12-15%, and

   -- Debt/Capitalization close to 46-50%.

These metrics would position the company at a level more  
appropriate for its Baa1 rating.  

The Baa1 rating is on review for further downgrade in view of  
AGL's plan to de-merge its infrastructure and Energy businesses.   
The infrastructure businesses -- that is the continuing  
businesses -- are expected to retain all of the company's debt,  
including that associated with the Southern Hydro acquisition  
and PNG investment.  Meanwhile, earnings from the Energy  
businesses would be lost to the proposed new energy company.  

Moody's notes the de-merger plan is subject to shareholder and  
court approvals.  Should it proceed, Moody's considers as  
possible further rating downgrade.  Such an outcome would  
reflect the higher debt load in the infrastructure businesses,  
resulting in turn in lower financial metrics.  At the same time,  
the higher debt load would be partially mitigated by the lower  
business risk of these same infrastructure activities as they  
also generate stable cash flows.  Further details of the  
proposal are expected to emerge through the company's scheme  
booklet to be released in early February 2006.  

The resolution of Moody's review will depend on shareholder and  
court approval of the de-merger proposal.  In addition, it will  
focus on AGL's future growth strategy as well as the capital  
structure and financial policy of the continuing infrastructure  
businesses.  The review will also look at how the company  
intends to manage its exposure to the development of the PNG gas  
pipeline.  

AGL is an integrated electricity and gas company based in  
Sydney, Australia.  It is listed on the Australian Stock  
Exchange.

G RETAIL: Shuts Doors For Good
------------------------------
G Retail Limited has permanently closed the last of its Gowings  
stores after 120 years, the Sydney Morning Herald relates.

As previously reported in the Troubled Company Reporter - Asia  
Pacific, G Retail called in administrators Deloitte Touche  
Tohmatsu in November last year after talks failed with menswear  
chain Lowes Manhattan Pty Ltd regarding a possible rescue buy-
out.  The retailer had been plagued by three straight years of  
losses due to lackluster performance at its suburban stores,  
which was worsened by a costly exit from Parramata in 2005.  

Its second city store at Wynyard closed shortly afterwards, with  
outlets at Hornsby and Darlinghurst shutting on January 11,  
2006.

Any remaining Gowings stock will be sold at a warehouse in the  
inner-city suburb of Alexandria, the Sydney Herald reveals.

Administrators will announce whether unsecured creditors will  
receive a dividend at a second creditors' meeting expected to  
take place next month.

ready.

may escalate, saying the Wembley project could wipe out  
virtually all profits from the group's entire global operations  
this financial year.  

Multiplex, led by Chief Executive Andrew Roberts, is also the  
subject of a continuing Australian Securities and Investments  
Commission inquiry into disclosure issues regarding the Wembley  
Stadium.

TELSTRA CORPORATION: More Shareholders Pursue Legal Action
----------------------------------------------------------
The number of Telstra shareholders potentially interested in  
pursuing the Company over an alleged failure to disclose  
financial information to the market last year almost doubled  
since a legal action was initiated, ZDNet Australia reports.  

Law firm Slater & Gordon told ZDNet Australia that it had been  
contacted by around 50 additional Telstra shareholders since it  
commenced a class action lawsuit on January 20, 2006, adding to  
the initial 50 individuals angered by the Company's behavior.   
In a statement issued just after filing the suit, the firm said  
that the number of shareholders involved could blow out to  
several thousand.  

The suit claims that the Company made selective disclosures by  
first briefing the government and journalists about its  
financial woes last year before informing the Australian Stock  
Exchange.  Telstra is 51.8% owned by the government.

Telstra's stock closed at AU$5 the day before results were  
issued.  It fell 18 cents on August 11, 2005, the day the  
results were released to the market.  Shares fell a further 24  
cents between August 11, when analysts received information that  
the Australian Securities & Investments Commission found the  
rest of the market did not, around the time of the government  
briefing and September 7, when Telstra issued an earnings  
downgrade.  Telstra then warned profits could fall by up to 10%  
in the year to June 2006 and that it had under-invested in  
capital expenditures during the previous three to five years.  

Shareholders who bought Telstra shares between the release of  
its annual results on Aug. 11 and the profit warning in the week  
of Sept. 5 claims they were overcharged for being kept in the  
dark about the firm's finances.  Some 50 shareholders have  
raised such concern.  Law firm Slater and Gordon said this could  
increase to several thousands.  Slater and Gordon Spokesman  
Michael Salmon said early estimates indicate shareholders were  
overcharged some AU$300 in the four-week period alone.  The firm  
said anyone who bought Telstra shares between Aug. 11 and Sept.  
7 is eligible to join the suit.


TOWNSVILLE HOTEL: Opts to Close Business
----------------------------------------
Members of Townsville Hotel Pty Limited agreed on December 29,  
2005, to shut down the Company's operations.  They named Timothy  
James Cuming and Favid Clement Pratt to act as liquidators.


WESTPOINT GROUP: FPA Clarifies Comments Amid Criticism
------------------------------------------------------
The Association of Independently Owned Financial Planners has  
criticized the Financial Planning Association's comments that  
investors, not planners, were responsible for money lost through  
investments in Westpoint-associated products, while the FPA has  
clarified its position on adviser responsibilities, Money  
Management reveals.

AIOFP's Chief Executive Officer, Peter Johnston, said the public  
needed to be reassured that if their investments went wrong, and  
that planners and the industry would be there to correct the  
situations wherever possible.

The Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific last week reported  
that the AIOFP had established a recovery committee to support  
its affected members and their clients, which would provide the  
Australian Securities and Investments Commission with market  
intelligence and paper trails on past Westpoint Corporation  
correspondence.

AIOFP said it was important that planners cooperate with the  
regulators to ensure the "finger of blame" was pointed in the  
right direction.

Meanwhile, FPA Chief Executive Officer Kerrie Kelly reiterated  
an FPA spokesman's comments to Money Management last week that  
financial advisers have a duty to clearly explain any higher  
risks associated with recommendations given to investors.

Mr. Kelly said the FPA was keeping the matter "under close  
review" as ASIC continues its investigations, and would take  
appropriate action if complaints were received.

CRB CAPITAL: High Court Approves Revival Plan
---------------------------------------------
Justice Mukul Mudgal of the Delhi High Court has accepted the  
revival package of CRB Capital Markets Limited on January 24,  
2006, The Economic Times says.  The revival package will enable  
CRB Capital to clear its liability to investors, exceeding  
INR450 crore.

According to The Economic Times, the High Court named retired  
Delhi High Court judge C M Nayyar to oversee the implementation  
of the revival plan.  If Mr. Nayyar decides that the scheme  
cannot be successfully implemented, then the Court will hear the  
petition filed earlier by the Reserve Bank of India seeking for  
CRB Capital's wind-up.

The Court had seen into certain modifications to the revival  
plan, which was originally formulated by the Company, the paper  
relates.  The revised scheme provides that creditors and  
investors of up to INR5,000 will get their full principal  
payment within nine months from the date of sanction of the  
scheme.  Unsecured retail investors and creditors holding claims  
exceeding that amount against the Company will be paid 50% of  
the principal amount in five annual installments, with the  
remaining amount to be paid in the form of shares in CRB  
Capital.

Under the plan, the Company will also pay 25% of what it owes to  
cooperative banks within three months and the balance of 75% in  
16 equal quarterly installments.

In response to a plea by the Company's counsel, the Court  
directed the defreezing of the Company's and its ex-directors'  
accounts and also asked the RBI to consider granting the Company  
fresh registration as a non-banking financial company.

The Economic Times adds that the RBI and State had opposed the  
revival scheme.  However, Judge Mudgal said that he also had to  
consider the interests of the secured and unsecured creditors,  
including deposit holders and shareholders, who have  
overwhelmingly favored the package.

New Kerala News recounts that former CRB Chairman Chain Roop  
Bhansali had duped small investors and many financial  
institutions of INR1200 crore.  After taking the deposits from  
investors, Mr. Bhansali fled from India to Hong Kong.  He was  
then arrested at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in June  
1997 when he returned to the country.

CRB Capital's creditors include:

        Creditor                      Claim Amount
        --------                      ------------
        Bank of India                  INR41 crore
        United Western Bank            INR18 crore
        SIDBI                          INR4.8 crore
        Karur Vyasya Bank              INR14 crore
        State Bank of Travancore       INR26 crore
        Bank of Tokyo                  INR39 crore
        Dena Bank                      INR10 crore
        GIC                            INR100 crore

The Central Bureau of Investigation also arrested CRB Capital's  
officials, including vice-chairman S K Jain, directors Gautam  
Chopra and Sushil Golcha, and Mr. Bhansali's brother-in-law,  
Pukhraj Jain.  Cases against these officials are under Sections  
120-B and 420 of Indian Penal Code and various sections of the  
Prevention of Corruption Act, New Kerala News says.


DUNLOP INDIA: Members OK Takeover by Ruias
------------------------------------------
At an extraordinary general meeting of Dunlop India on Jan. 25,  
2006, the members approved Ruia Group's indirect acquisition of  
the Company.

Majority of Dunlop's members passed a special resolution,  
allowing Ruias to take control of the Company without an offer.

Following the EGM, the new promoters have revamped Dunlop's  
board of directors.  The new six-member board is composed of:

     * P.K. Ruia, non-executive chairman;
     * Ashnok Jajodia, full-time director;
     * Dipak Rudra, independent director;
     * N.P. Agarwal, independent director;
     * Sajid Khan, independent director; and
     * R.K. Sadhu, independent director.  

With the members' approval, Ruia Group's acquisition of Dunlop  
was considered complete and the company need not go for an open  
offer.  Around 99.99% of those who opted to vote on the special  
resolution favored the decision against the open offer.

DUNLOP INDIA: To Re-open in Six Months
--------------------------------------
Dunlop India is set to restart operations within six months  
after the Ruia Group finalized a voluntary retirement scheme for  
Dunlop employees, The Economic Times reveals.

The Economic Time says that the VRS covers back-wages for the  
closure period of the two plants.  A memorandum of understanding  
was signed with the workers' union after the Ruia management  
increased the package to INR1.20 lakh from the earlier INR75,000  
and back-wages to a maximum of INR30,000 from INR20,000.

The VRS had been offered to about 1,700 out of 4,000 Dunlop  
employees in order to pave the way for the reopening of the  
plants, which were closed for the past several years.  Around  
July 2006, the two Dunlop plants at Shahgunj and Ambattur would  
start operating, with around 1,000 workers for each plant.

The West Bengal Industry Minister, Nirupam Sen, had helped work  
out the agreement.

GARUDA INDONESIA: Management Asked to Be Open to Investors
----------------------------------------------------------
Minister of State Enterprises Sugiharto asked the management of  
PT Garuda Indonesia to be open to potential investors in the  
Company's restructuring, Asia Pulse reports.

Asia Pulse relates that the Government will allow Garuda  
Indonesia management to deal with investors who are interested  
in developing the Company, but that it asks the Company to keep  
an open mind.  Garuda Indonesia needs a lot of funds to be able  
to turn around and compete with other airlines, and the  
Government says it cannot provide those funds at present.

Earlier reports stated that the Government was planning to sell  
off shares in Garuda Indonesia, which the Government denied.  
Instead, it is urging Garuda Indonesia to team up with bigger  
airlines in order to be more competitive.

PERTAMINA: Targets Lower Profit for 2006
----------------------------------------
PT Pertamina has reduced its profit target for 2006 from IDR22  
trillion to IDR15.5 trillion due to increased financial  
obligations, Asia Pulse says.

Pertamina Finance Director Alfred Rohimone said that the Company  
has allocated IDR9 trillion for its pension payments this year,  
as well as another IDR9 trillion for routine and non-routine  
investment fees.

Asia Pulse cites Mr. Rohimone as saying that Pertamina would get  
IDR5.7 trillion of its targeted profit from the downstream  
sector that covers subsidized fuel distribution, while the rest  
would be incurred from its upstream sector.  The Company has  
also set aside from IDR469.95 billion to IDR939.9 billion to  
invest in the development of the oil-rich Cepu block this year.

Pertamina, Asia Pulse reports, expects to spend up to IDR4.7  
trillion for the exploration of the Cepu block, which may take  
up to three years.  The development of the Cepu block is  
expected to cost up to IDR9.4 trillion, which would be derived  
from Pertamina, its partner ExxonMobil Corp., and the regional  
government.

PERUSAHAAN LISTRIK: Government to Probe Alleged Mark-Up Case
------------------------------------------------------------
As previously reported, PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara has faced  
accusations of illegal mark-ups of generators procured for the  
combined gas-coal fueled power plant in Palembang, South  
Sumatra.

The Indonesian Government admits that it still has to study the  
alleged mark-up, Asia Pulse reports.

Minister of State Enterprises Sugiharto said that the Government  
is still waiting for an official report from the Attorney  
General's Office regarding the case.  Once the report is handed  
to the Government, they will decide whether to suspend PLN's  
directors or not.   

Minister Sugiharto, Asia Pulse relates, assures the Company that  
he will study the case thoroughly and presume PLN to be innocent  
when he looks into the case.  He will also investigate the role  
of PLN President Eddie Widiono as witness in such case.  He  
plans to seek aid from the Ministry's legal bureau on how to  
proceed with the matter.

PERUSAHAAN LISTRIK: Oil Price to Determine Power Rate Hike
----------------------------------------------------------
Fuel prices will determine the price increase rate for
electricity generated by PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara, The
Jakarta Post reports.

The Post, citing Indonesian Vice President Jusuf Kalla, relates
that the Government is still calculating a planned power rate
increase for PT PLN, depending on the fuel price.  He says that
if the price of oil decreases, power rates will remain unchanged.

Businesses have been complaining about the possible power hikes
and some firms have even warned that they would not pay any
increase in utility prices.

Earlier reports indicated a possible 18.4% to 48.3% rise in power
rates, so as to alleviate PLN's rising costs.  Yet, some
politicians opposed the move, asking the Government to seek
alternative ways to reduce the Company's expenses, The Post says.

Bank Indonesia was reported as stating that a power rate increase
above 30% would increase inflation rates to higher than its year-
end 8% target.  But Vice President Kalla justified the increase,
saying that PLN would go under if global oil prices rose and its
power rates stayed the same, since the Government cannot afford
to provide additional fuel subsidies for the Company.

At present, global fuel prices are US$66 per barrel.  If prices
rise above US$70 per barrel, PLN will have to increase power
rates in order to offset further losses that may occur due to
limited fuel subsidy.

PLN purchases fuel to generate its petroleum-based power plants.

FURUKAWA ELECTRIC: R&I Assigns BBB+ Rating
------------------------------------------
Rating and Investment Information, Inc., has assigned a long-term
debt rating of BBB+ in Furukawa Electric Co. issued under the
shelf registration scheme.

The depressed state of the telecommunications business restrained
the Company's performance in recent years, but fixed cost
reductions achieved through restructuring, and aggressive
investment in photochemistry in Japan and the United States, has
led to an upturn in the market environment.  

Improvements in the photonics network field, centering on optical
related parts, mean that the business in general is likely to be
guaranteed operating surpluses in the 2005 fiscal year.  As such,
the Company has left behind its worst period.  Businesses outside
of the telecommunications business, such as light metals,
continue to do well for the Company as revenue sources and the
Company's overall profitability and cash flow capability is
becoming increasingly stable.

Furukawa Electric still retains a large amount of debt, and the
company's equity capital, which was undermined by the huge
overall deficit, has not yet been restored.  However, with an
improved cash flow position and benefits gained through asset
sales, net debt is heading toward decline.  Fears that the
Company's cash flow and debt balance will greatly worsen have
subsided.  With the reduction in Furukawa Electric's debt, R&I
will pay attention to whether the company can build up its equity
capital and strengthen the resilience of its financial base.

LG CARD: Likely to Complete Sale Ahead of Schedule
--------------------------------------------------
The sale of LG Card Co. may begin ahead of schedule as due
diligence commenced last week, The Herald reports.

LG Card's creditors would most likely be receiving bids and put
the Company up for sale next month, the Herald says, citing
industry sources.  Given this, the sale process will take place
at the same time as the audit, which is to be completed in early
March.

Industry experts earlier said that if due diligence is conducted
by the end of January, the Korea Development Bank would then be
able to officially announce LG Card's sale in a month or so.
However, experts noted that the conditions presented by the
bidders could further delay the sale until next year.

Another possible obstacle to the sale is LG Card's ballooning
market value.  Most analysts estimate the card issuer's sale
price to be at least KRW3.5 trillion, and KRW5 trillion at most.

Woori Finance Holdings previously said that it does not want to   
be financially burdened by LG Card's increasing stock price.  If
the card issuer's price continues to increase, Woori said it
would back out from the bid.

LG Card is considered as a prime acquisition target with 10
million subscribers.

EXPORT AND INDUSTRY: Clarifies Media Report on Capital Infusion
--------------------------------------------------------------
On January 25, 2006, the stockholders of Export and Industry  
Bank passed a resolution giving all stockholders an opportunity  
to subscribe to new issuance of shares under the same terms and  
conditions as the existing major shareholders and new investors  
infusing Php3 billion in additional capital.

On January 27, 2006, BusinessWorld reported that ExportBank is  
looking at getting Php500 million from its minority  
stockholders, apart from the Php15-billion infusion from its  
foreign partners and the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp.

However Exportbank clarified the media report, saying it would  
be premature to project any amount that will be generated from  
the said new shares issue since the procedures to implement the  
resolution is still being formulated and will have to be  
coordinated with the appropriate regulatory bodies.

NATIONAL POWER: Lopezes Want a Piece of Generating Assets
---------------------------------------------------------
Lopez-owned First Generation Holdings Corp. is keen on acquiring  
some of National Power Corporation's generating assets to raise  
its capacity by 1,500 megawatts, The Manila Standard reveals.

First Gen plans to purchase 1,000-Mw power plants for US$1  
million per Mw to increase its earnings by Php4.4 billion a  
year, The Manila Standard says, citing CLSA Limited.

CLSA, one of the two underwriters of First Gen's initial public  
offering, admitted the Lopez firm's net debt to equity may fall  
from 30% in 2005 to 155% in 2006 assuming the acquisition is a  
wholly funded debt.  But CLSA said it would steadily improve to  
20% in 2009 inclusive of the Greenfield expansion.

RFM CORPORATION: Eyes US$1.5-Bln Halal Market
---------------------------------------------
Food and beverage company RFM Corporation is looking to invest  
US$1.5 billion into the global halal food market to boost its  
growing export business, The Philippine Star reports.

The Star says that RFM is planning to tap the lucrative halal  
market in Malaysia, currently the leading export producer of  
halal foods.

Exports are expected to account for 10% of RFM's total sales  
this year.  Last year, RFM earned US$3.4 million from exports,  
representing around 6% of total sales.  This is an increase of  
9.7% from the previous year's US$3.1 million.  

According to The Star, RFM wants to take advantage of the  
growing demand for halal food.  Muslims are required to consume  
only food items that are considered halal, or lawful, under  
Islam. Countries in the Middle East, North America, Asian and  
the large Muslim populations of Eastern Europe have been  
contributing to the growth of the halal food industry.  

Presently, the two strongest markets for halal products are  
Southeast Asia and the Middle East.  These areas represent more  
than 400 million Muslim consumers. In total, a Muslim consumer  
base estimated to be 1.8 billion is spread over 112 countries.

THAI PETROCHEMICAL: To Appeal SEC Ruling on ESOP
------------------------------------------------
Thai Petrochemical Industry Public Co. Ltd. will appeal against  
a Securities and Exchange Commission's ruling to reject the  
Company's filing for securities issuance under the Employee  
Stock Option Scheme (ESOP).   

The SEC rejected the TPI's application due to the Company's non-
compliance of rules.   

The SEC also alleged TPI Executive Prachai Leophairatana was  
involved in securities trading misconduct.  Thus, Mr. Prachai is  
disqualified to be an executive of the securities issuance  
company for a period of five years since August 5, 2005.

The Company, however, has the right to appeal this ruling to SEC  
within 15 days from the notified date or by February 9, 2006.
