NYLEX LIMITED: U.S. Equity Group May Put in AU$20 Million
---------------------------------------------------------
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific on
May 19, 2006, Nylex Limited announced a major restructuring of
its businesses that will cost about AU$10 million.

The Australian Associated Press relates that Nylex had started
talks with potential financiers and existing and potential
senior dent providers.  Nylex said on June 7, 2006, that it was
in talks with local and United States-based companies about
mezzanine financing and a capital raising.

The Age says that Kerry Stokes -- the chairman of Seven Network
and owner of a 14% stake in Nylex -- is believed to be playing a
key role in a AU$40 million recapitalization that could result
in a new owner for the plastics manufacturer.

It is believed that Mr. Stokes has brought in a U.S. private
equity group that met with the Nylex board and management this
week, the Age points out.

AAP reports that the U.S. equity group will put AU$20 million
into Nylex, effectively giving it control.

The other AU$20 million will be raised in mezzanine debt, which
gives the lender the right to convert to an ownership or equity
interest if the loan is not repaid on time.

                          About Nylex

Headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, Nylex Limited --
http://www.nylexlimited.com.au/-- is an Australian marketer,  
manufacturer and service provider of plant hire services,
building products, automotive products, plastic products, and
engineered products.

Nylex has been in restructuring for 11 years, the past six saw
the Company management balance between keeping creditors happy
and placating shareholders, who over time lost 90% of their
investments.  Nylex owed its bank lenders more than AU$400
million at the peak and has basically been in a controlled
liquidation of the mish-mash of assets built up in the 1990s.
  
The Company has sold many businesses to reduce its debt, moved
some production offshore and now has a strong balance sheet and
is looking for acquisitions.  It has also launched a major push
to build on its strong position in garden water control to
become a leader in overall household water conservation.
  
The Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific reported on Nov.
29, 2005, that Nylex's future earnings are uncertain after
shareholders sold the Company's profitable asset, Lucrative AH
Plant Hire, to a rival controlled by Nylex shareholder and Seven
Network Chairman Kerry Stokes.

Shareholders agreed to sell AH Plant Hire to the Stokes-
controlled National Hire group for AU$111 million, which just
scrapped in at the bottom of the valuation range calculated by
independent expert Ernst & Young Valuation Services.  Nylex
directors decided to sell AH Plant Hire after failing to
complete the sale of the group's automotive business, which had
been expected to bring in AU$40 million.

Nylex is operating under the close supervision of a group of
banks, which are keen to end the five-year asset sell-off.

In May 2006, Nylex announced a big restructure that will cost
about AU$10 million, and has started talks with potential
financiers and existing and potential senior debt providers.

Also in May, the Company announced a profit downgrade, saying
that the underlying earnings of continuing businesses for the
current financial year are expected to be between AU$1.5 million
and AU$2 million, which falls short of its previous guidance.
The Company also disclosed that it expects to incur or make
provisions for restructuring costs, and assets carrying value
adjustments of AU$18 million.

PROVINCIAL FINANCE: Directors Face NZ$10 Million Lawsuit
--------------------------------------------------------
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific,
Provincial Finance Limited was put into receivership on June 2,
2006, due to breach of covenants and ratios in its Trust Deed,
as well as a multi-million write-down for bad debts.

In an update, Stuff.co.nz relates that Provincial Finance
directors David Lyall and John Edilson are facing a lawsuit from
Graeme Fisher, a former business partner who claims that the
directors cost him NZ$10 million in stress and lost earnings.

Stuff.co notes that Mr. Fisher has offered to settle out of
court for NZ$950,000, otherwise he will go ahead with a
NZ$10-million civil claim.

According to the report, Mr. Edilson said that his and Mr.
Lyall's lawyers had told them that Mr. Fisher's claim was
"completely without merit."

The Dominion Post recounts that Mr. Fisher, Mr. Lyall and Mr.
Edilson set up Blenheim Finance in 2000, with Mr. Fisher owning
50% of the shares and Provincial Finance and its associated
parties owning the rest.

Mr. Fisher said that the consumer lending business went well
until a rival's complaint to the Commerce Commission sparked an
investigation.  According to Mr. Fisher, the commission's
involvement caused "panic," which suddenly pulled the plug on
his lending.  He sold his share in 2002 and the dispute is over
the way the sale was conducted.

Mr. Fisher later suffered a heart attack, his marriage broke up
and he has been declared bankrupt.

The Dominion Post says that Mr. Lyall and Mr. Edilson are trying
to put together a NZ$25 million-plus package to save Provincial
Finance, which owes NZ$300 million to 14,000 small investors.

A group of outside investors, including other finance companies,
are looking to raise at least NZ$11 million to help bail out
Provincial Finance.

company that provides consumer and commercial finance to
individuals and businesses across New Zealand, and promote a

HUABAO INT'L: Proposes to Cancel Share Premium to Offset Losses
---------------------------------------------------------------
Huabao International is considering a capital reorganization
plan offset HKD384.791 million in accumulated losses, Infocast
News reports.

Under the plan, the directors proposed to increase the
authorized share capital of the Company from HKD337.69 million
to HKD887.69 million by the creation of an additional 3three
billion ordinary shares and 2.5 billion new convertible
preference shares.

Further, Huabao International plans to use all or part of the
credit arising from the share premium account in a maximum sum
of HKD384.791 million to offset the accumulated losses in full.  
The remaining balance of the credit arising from the share
premium cancellation, if any, will be transferred to the
contributed surplus account of the Company, Infocast says.

The Company told Infocast that it is not permitted to pay
dividends while accumulated losses remain.  However, if the
Company will cancel share premium, it will eliminate all or part
of the accumulated losses and will enhance the flexibility in
financial structure as well as in declaring dividends to the
shareholders in the future, the Company added.

Huabao has been recording losses for the recent years, according
to Infocast.

* Fitch: China's Banks Remain Weak Despite Impressive Strides
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings on June 8, 2006, said Chinese banks have made
impressive strides in recent years and that government-led as
well as banks' own internal reforms have significantly improved
the sector's risk profile.

However, in a comprehensive report published entitled "The
Chinese Banking System", the agency also cautioned that despite
this improvement, Chinese banks continue to face serious
challenges and banking industry risk remains one of the largest
vulnerabilities facing the economy.

Charlene Chau, Fitch Financial Institution Director in Beijing
relates that key weaknesses include:
    
    -- widespread corruption and ineffectual corporate
       governance;
    
    -- underdeveloped risk management and internal control
       systems;
    
    -- weak accounting and legal frameworks; and
    
    -- poor (albeit gradually improving) profitability, asset
       quality and capital

Although the financial performance of Chinese banks has
generally improved, the Chinese banking system remains one of
the weakest in the world.  All Chinese banks, to varying
degrees, continue to demonstrate thin profit margins, relatively
low capital, weak asset quality, and underdeveloped risk
management systems, Fitch said.  

The report states that the results of recent reform measures
have been mixed, with China's larger, premier banks clearly
benefiting from reforms, while weaknesses at other institutions
remain largely unaddressed.

Ms. Chu said, "Going forward, deeper and more comprehensive
reforms - including improvements in the supporting financial
infrastructure and a resolution of the government and Communist
Party's role in the financial system - will be necessary to
improve overall systemic risk."

Fitch believes that the medium-term outlook for economic growth
in China remains strong, however, it also expressed concern that
less productive investment could give rise to new bad debts,
particularly if the economy decelerates. Such a turn of events,
according to Fitch, could undo some of the hard-earned progress
in bank reforms over the last decade.

The report also notes that while managing credit risk remains
the principal challenge for Chinese banks, the agency is also
concerned about rising market risk as Chinese authorities pursue
further exchange rate and interest rate liberalization, start to
relax long-standing controls on capital outflows, and introduce
new trading activities.

INDIAN OIL: Liquidates INR835-crore Oil Bonds
---------------------------------------------  
Indian Oil Corporation, on June 7, 2006, sold 7.07% oil bonds
worth INR835 crore, including INR70 crore of its subsidiary IBP
Company Limited, Zee News reports.  The bonds are to mature in
March 2009 in the secondary market trade.

Zee News says that the issue size was worth INR250 crore with a
green shoe option.  Amidst hardening interest rates, the issue
generated a good response.

The Company had earlier liquidated bonds worth INR860 crore in
the three-year and nine-year category in April 2006.

The Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific recounts that the
INR6,571-crore worth of oil bonds received in March 2006 has
helped Indian Oil post a net profit of INR4,031 crore in the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005-06, a rise of 351% over the
net profit of INR892.92 crore recorded in the same quarter of
the previous fiscal year.

                  About Indian Oil Corporation

Indian Oil was established as Indian Oil Company Limited in
1959.  Indian Oil Corporation was formed in 1964 with the merger
of Indian Refineries Limited with the Indian Oil Company Ltd.  
Indian Oil's countrywide network of over 22,000 sales points is
backed for supplies by its extensive, well spread out marketing
infrastructure comprising 167 bulk storage terminals,
installations and depots, 94 aviation fuelling stations and 87
LPG bottling plants.  Its subsidiary, IBP Co. Ltd, is a stand-
alone marketing company with a nationwide network of over 3,000
retail sales points.  

In spite of its large production capacity and smooth operations,
Indian Oil incurred huge losses as a result of a Government
mandate, which prohibits public sector oil marketing firms from
raising fuel prices despite skyrocketing global prices.  For
years, Indian Oil has been selling fuel at subsidized prices,
which is way below the costs it pays for importing fuel from
overseas markets.  The Company has not been able to pass on the
high prices leading to large under-recoveries and losses.   
Early this year, the Government has offered a bailout package to
help rescue oil companies, including Indian Oil, from going
bankrupt.  Under the package, the Government issued Indian Oil,
Bharat Petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum and IBP oil bonds worth
INR10,000 crore to INR12,000 crore to compensate them for not
raising LPG and kerosene prices.  The move was expected to
improve their balance sheets.


NATIONAL TEXTILE: Two More Mills Await Closure
----------------------------------------------
Two more mills owned by National Textile Corporation are facing
closure, The Times of India relates, citing Union Textiles
Minister Shankersinh Vaghela.

The Textile Ministry is awaiting clearance from the state
government to evaluate and sell the land where the two mills are
located, The Times adds.

Mr. Vaghela said that the Voluntary Retirement Scheme for the
mill workers had already been announced.  However, he refused to
disclose any further information to The Times.

Meanwhile, Mr. Vaghela says that under the Scheme for Integrated
Textile Parks, three more textile parks are slated to come up in
Gujarat, Bharat Textile News reveals.  The additional parks will
bring the total number of the integrated parks up to five.  
These parks, according to the report, will have potential to
grow and will also provide employment opportunities.

Furthermore, with an investment of INR100 crore, a textile plaza
is also to be set up at Jahangir Mill compound in the city,
Bharat Textile adds.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific,
National Textile Corporation is implementing a turnaround
strategy focused on reviving and modernizing 22 mills and the
sale of most other defunct assets.

               About National Textile Corporation

Headquartered in New Delhi, India, National Textile Corporation
Ltd -- http://texmin.nic.in/-- is the single largest textile  
central public sector enterprise under Ministry of Textiles
managing 52 textile mills through its nine subsidiary companies

2004-05 was approximately INR638 crores.  In 2002, the Board for
Industrial and Financial Reconstruction approved the revival of
53 viable mills and closure of 66 unviable mills.  National
Textile is in the process of a major restructuring.  A new
corporate plan is under formulation for repositioning of the
organization by merging all its nine subsidiaries into one
holding company.

PERUSAHAAN LISTRIK: To Move Delay Planned Bond Sale to 2007
-----------------------------------------------------------
PT Perusahaan Listrik may delay a planned sale of dollar-
denominated Islamic bonds until 2007, as it awaits foreign
funding for new power generation projects, Antara News reveals.

XFN-Asia states that, according to PLN power generation unit PT
Indonesia Power's president, Abimanyu Suyoso, they are hoping
for the certainty of a proposed power plant construction program
before they could determine overseas funding for that program.  
But since the program is uncertain as yet, they would postpone
the Islamic bond sale worth IDR23.47 trillion to next year.  

According to Antara News, Perusahaan Listrik needs to construct
power plants with 10,000-megawatt capacity so as to meet rising
power demand.

                          *     *     *

Indonesian state utility firm PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara --  
http://www.pln.co.id/-- transmits and distributes electricity  
to around 30 million customers, roughly 60% of Indonesia's
population.  The Indonesian Government decided to end PLN's
power supply monopoly to attract independents to build more
capacity for sale directly to consumers, as many areas of the
country are experiencing power shortages.  PLN posted a
IDR4.92-trillion net loss in 2005, against a net loss of
IDR2.02 trillion in 2004.

The Company received IDR12.51 trillion in subsidies from the  
Government last year, almost four times the IDR3.47 trillion in  
2004.

The Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific reported on  
April 5, 2006, that Perusahaan Listrik is once again under
investigation by the Indonesian National Police for corruption,
connected to equipment price mark-ups and irregular contract
tendering procedures at a gas-fired power plant in Bekasi.  This
after being subjected to a probe on an alleged price mark-up of
three generators purchased in 2004.  A further report on May 5,
2006, stated that PLN president Eddie Widiono was arrested on
allegations that he had marked up the funds used to buy a MD2500
generator for an electricity project in Borang regency in South
Sumatra in 2004, which made the state suffer a IDR122-billion
loss.

HEISEI DENDEN: Sells Off Business to Japan Telecom
--------------------------------------------------
Low-rate fixed-line phone service operator Heisei Denden Co.
plans to sell its entire operations to Japan Telecom Co., as it
now faces bankruptcy proceedings, Crisscross News relates.

Crisscross News says that the Tokyo District Court decided on
June 7, 2006, to initiate bankruptcy proceedings against Heisei.
The proceedings would terminate the Company's telephone services
automatically.

According to Kyoto News Service, Heisei Denden subscribers can
still receive services on some 140,000 fixed and high-speed
digital lines with the planned business sale.

The Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific said on April 21,
2006, that Heisei had filed for court protection from its
creditors in October 2005, and submitted its rehabilitation
proposal to the Tokyo District Court on April 10, 2006.  
However, its financial sponsor, Dream Technologies Corp., did
not agree with the restructuring plan as it was not convinced of
the effectiveness of that plan.

As a result of the Company's decision to stop rehabilitation,
two affiliate firms that had procured funds from investors to
lease communications systems to Heisei are unable to pay back
the funds, worth JPY49 billion.

Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Heisei Denden Company, Limited
was established in 1990, offering cut-rate fixed-line telephone
services to customers.  The Company was forced to seek court
protection last year due to a small number of subscribers and
heavy capital investments.  As of March 31, 2006, the Company's
debts totaled JPY130 billion.


MITSUBISHI MOTORS: Sells 8 Million Shares to China Motor Corp
-------------------------------------------------------------
Mitsubishi Motors Corp. sold 8.6 million shares to China Motor
Corp.'s investment arm, Hwa Hong Investment Co. Limited (Samoa),
for JPY1.7 billion, AFX News reports.

Hwa Hong now holds a 0.68% stake in Mitsubishi Motors,
equivalent to 37.54 million shares.  China Motor and Hwa Hong
own a combined 47 million shares in Mitsubishi Motors, which
also holds a 14% stake in China Motor.

Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation --
http://www.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/-- is one of the few  
automobile companies in the world that produces a full line of
automotive products ranging from 660-cc mini cars and passenger
cars to commercial vehicles and heavy-duty trucks and buses.  
The Company also operates consumer-financing services and
provides this to its customer base.  Mitsubishi's problems stem,
in part, from the scandal surrounding years of systematically
covering up auto defects and ill-advised auto lending policies
in the United States.

Mitsubishi Motors appeared to be turning around for a few years
under an alliance with DaimlerChrysler AG, but the German
automaker withdrew additional financing in 2004.  Since then,
Mitsubishi Motors has received massive cash infusions from the
Mitsubishi group of companies, including a bank, machinery maker
and trading company, to support revival efforts.

Mitsubishi adopted the "Mitsubishi Motors Revitalization Plan"
on January 28, 2005, as its three-year business plan covering
fiscal 2005 through 2007.  The main objectives of the plan are
"Regaining Trust" and "Business Revitalization."

                          *     *     *

According to an April 28, 2006 report by the Troubled Company
Reporter - Asia Pacific, Mitsubishi Motors reported an 81% drop
in its net loss for the fiscal year 2005 ended March 31, 2006,
to JPY92.2 billion, from a JPY474.8 billion loss the previous
year.

The report states that according to Mitsubishi, the loss was
attributed to special restructuring costs, including a re
evaluation of its property.  

Sales also fell slightly to JPY2.12 trillion last year, from
JPY2.122 trillion in 2004.  However, the Company expects to
return to profit this year on an increase in worldwide
shipments, with sales expected to reach JPY2.23 trillion.


PRINCE HOTELS: FY05 Net Loss Rises to JPY37.2 Billion
-----------------------------------------------------
Prince Hotels, Inc., the hotel chain of reorganized Seibu
Holdings, Inc., posted a JPY5-billion increase in its net loss
for the 2005 fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, to
JPY37.2 billion, from a net loss of JPY32 billion in 2004,
Crisscross News says.

According to the Japan Times, Prince Hotels Inc.'s losses
increased on fierce competition from rival hotels and new hotel
operators, as well as slow earnings from its leisure facilities
due to reduced spending by players at its golf courses and a
drop in the number of visitors to its ski resorts.

Seibu Holdings, which was delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange
in 2004 following an accounting scandal, plans to spend
JPY193.51 billion to rehabilitate its Prince Hotels chain,
including the renovation of the Hakone Prince Hotel in Kanagawa
Prefecture and improvement of facilities at Karuizawa Prince
Hotel in Nagano Prefecture.  Seibu plans to re-list its shares
at the Stock Exchange by improving earnings via the disposal of
non-profitable assets.

GEORGE TOWN: Court Adjourns Appeal Hearing to July 6
----------------------------------------------------
The Court of Appeal has adjourned to July 6, 2006, the hearing
of an appeal in relation to George Town Holdings Berhad's
Restraining Order.

The Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific recounts that the
Court of Appeal, on March 28, 2006, decided to dismiss a motion
filed by an unnamed "intervenor" for the Court to set aside an
interim restraining order entered on September 19, 2005, in
favor of George Town and its 22 subsidiary and associate
companies.

The intervenor appealed the Court's dismissal order.

The Court has further ordered that the Restraining Order be
continued until the disposal of the appeal.

The Restraining Order was first granted by the Kuala Lumpur High
Court on March 9, 2005, to:

     * George Town Holdings Berhad;
     * George Town Chemist Sdn Bhd;
     * Super Departmental Stores (George Town) Sdn Bhd;

176(10) of the Companies Act, which restrained and stayed for a
period of 90 days further proceedings in any action or the
institution or commencement of any proceedings against the
Company or any of the companies.

The Restraining Order was secured to allow the Group to finalize
its Proposed Restructuring Scheme

Under the Scheme:

   -- the Group will seek the indulgence of its lenders and
      creditors to restructure the terms and repayment
      schedule of the borrowings of the group companies;

   -- the Group will rationalize and reorganize the existing
      stores and further increase the stores to create a
      critical mass so that the Company is able to enjoy
      economies of scale;

   -- the Group had started to rationalize and stream line the
      business operations of the Company's retail business
      through a review and improvements in the IT systems,
      business performance reporting and key retail business
      policies in order to improve efficiency and
      profitability; and

   -- the Proposals will be financed through the issuance of
      shares and bonds subject to the approval of the relevant
      authorities.

The Group faced numerous suits filed by financiers and trade
creditors who have alleged that outstanding debts are owed to
them.  In an effort to settle the debts and come to an agreement
with the creditors, the Group had prepared an initial scheme for
the purposes of a debt-restructuring scheme.  The Group has
obtained a Restraining Order and applied for extensions of the
Order so it could finalize its scheme of arrangement.

profitability by 2007.  Under the restructuring plan, the
airline pledged to cut its budget by 20% across the board,
terminate many unprofitable routes, freeze recruitment except
for front-line staff, crack down on corruption by encouraging
Whistle-blowing and stop corporate sponsorship.

Malaysia Airlines posted a pre-tax loss of MYR309.118 million

profit of MYR112.017 million in the same quarter of 2005.  The

Operations of the Group are carried out in Malaysia and South

Mycom is in the advanced stage of negotiations to settle its
foreign debts.  The proposed capital reduction and consolidation
by Mycom, as well as the proposed share premium account
reduction will reduce the Company's accumulated losses.  In its
proposal to streamline its operations and focus on property
development activities after restructuring, Mycom had proposed
to undertake a series of acquisitions of property companies and
land, as well as the disposal of certain assets in the future
years.  Mycom believes that both its corporate and debt
restructuring would the group on a stronger financial footing to
continue as a going concern, to return to profitability and to
enhance returns to all the stakeholders.

As of March 31, 2006, the Company's balance sheet showed poor
liquidity with MYR56,129,000 in current assets available to pay
current liabilities of MYR1,302,071,000 coming due within the

PAN MALAYSIA CORP: Clocks MYR4.9-Million Pre-tax Profit
-------------------------------------------------------
Pan Malaysia Corporation Berhad, on May 31, 2006, submitted for
public release its unaudited financial report for the first
quarter ended March 31, 2006.

For the financial period ended March 31, 2006, the Group
recorded revenue of MYR59.9 million and gross profit of
MYR12.5 million as compared to the previous year corresponding
period's MYR81.0-million revenue and MYR16.2-million gross
profit.  The lower revenue and gross profit were mainly due to
the continued soft retail environment faced by the food
operations in Australia.

For the quarter under review, the Group recorded a gain on
disposal of assets of MYR8.1 million.  After taking into account
the share of results of an associate, the Group recorded pre-tax
profit of MYR4.9 million for the period under review as compared
to MYR6.8 million in the previous year corresponding period.

The current quarter recorded revenue of MYR59.9 million and pre-
tax profit of MYR4.9 million as compared to the preceding
quarter's revenue of MYR79.0 million and pre-tax loss of MYR8.8
million.  In the preceding quarter, the higher revenue was
mainly due to the traditionally year end festive seasons while
the pre-tax loss was mainly due to impairment of investments in
an associated company.

The challenging trading environment is expected to continue for
the financial year ending December 31, 2006, especially in
respect of rising input cost.  The Group will continue to focus
on cost control measures to mitigate the effects of rising
costs, increasing its market share for existing products and
introduction of new product lines.  In addition, the later part
of the financial year will normally see better trading for the
Group.

The Company's board of directors did not recommend any interim
dividend for the financial quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Group's operations are carried out in Malaysia, England,
Australia, Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the United States
of America.

Proton was reported to be among Malaysia's worst-performing
companies in 2005, after competition from foreign carmakers and
a lack of new models lost the firm local market share and
subsequently led it into a loss.  It has since brought in a new
chief, sold its loss-making MV Agusta motorbike firm and pledged
to find a new technology partner.  The Company has been under
increasing pressure, with its share of domestic sales falling to
44% from 75% over the past decade.

The Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific reported on May 4,
2006, that Proton was expected to finalize a recovery plan and
seal an alliance with a strategic partner by the end of 2006.


PROTON HOLDINGS: Peugeot Confirms Possible Tie-up Talks
-------------------------------------------------------
French carmaker PSA Peugeot Citreon, on May 31, 2006, confirmed
that it was in initial tie-up discussions with Proton Holdings
Berhad, Business Times reports.  Peugeot, however, pointed out
that there were no concrete cooperation talks just yet.

The Edge Daily reports that Proton and Peugeot were discussing a
possible wider partnership than the one Proton has with Japanese
car manufacturing giant Mitsubishi Motors Corporation.

Proton managing director Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohd Tahir told
a news conference that talks with Europe's second-largest
carmaker had reached "quite advanced details".  It was reported
that he hoped Proton and PSA could finalize a pact that would
include joint vehicle platform development and sourcing of
components in the near future.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific on
May 9, 2006, Peugeot may eventually take up an equity stake in
Proton, adding that the senior management of both companies have
met and are likely to sign a memorandum of understanding in a
few months.

The TCR-AP also reported that Proton's shareholders and the
Malaysian Government had resumed partnership talks with
Germany's Volkswagen AG.  In January 2006, the German firm
pulled out of a joint venture plan with Proton after it failed
to win control of the Malaysian firm.

Proton is looking at potential partnerships with foreign firms
in order to boost its local market share, which started to
decline as foreign-made rivals become a more attractive option
to locally made cars, often blamed on shoddy parts and service
quality, the TCR-AP added.

TENCO BERHAD: Seeks to Regularize Financial Condition
-----------------------------------------------------
Tenco Berhad is exploring various options to regularize its
financial condition, Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad reveals.

Once the Company has settled on a plan to restructure its
finances, the Company will engage a merchant banker or a
participating organization that may act as a principal adviser,
who will make necessary announcements for and on behalf of
Tenco.

Tenco is required to submit its regularization plan to relevant
authorities not later than January 8, 2007, or around seven
months from June 1, 2006.

ARANETA PROPERTIES: Posts PHP15.91Mln Pre-operating Net Loss
------------------------------------------------------------
Araneta Properties Incorporated posted a PHP15.91-million net
loss for the first quarter ending March 31, 2006, an 8.75%
increase from the previous corresponding period's net loss of
PHP14.63 million.

Revenue generated for the first quarter of 2006 represents
rental income from its land located at Manticao Misamis
Oriental, while the increase in operating expenses for the first
quarter of 2006 compared with the first quarter of 2005 is
brought about mainly with the implementation of Value Added Tax
and regional increase in basic commodities.

                    The Status of the Company

As at March 31, 2006, the Company said that it continued to
experience a deficit caused mainly by its pre-operating status.

On January 24, 2005, Araneta Properties entered into a lease
agreement with Platinum Group Metals Corporation, as lessee, for
the lease of land where the non-operating smelted plant of the
Company is located.  The lease contract will be for a period of
10 years subject to renewal upon the mutual agreement of the
parties.  The contract called for an initial payment of
PHP0.6 million, which included one-month advance rental, deposit
amounting to PHP0.2 million and security deposit of
PHP0.4 million.

Araneta Properties also entered into a sale contract with PGMC
on January 24, 2005, for the sale of its non-operating smelter
plant for a total consideration of PHP150 million.  In
accordance with the agreement, Araneta received PHP2 million on
the initial signing of the contract together with checks dated
April 24, 2005, and July 24, 2005, amounting to PHP3 million and
PHP5 million, respectively.  The remaining balance was and will
be received in monthly installments of PHP2 million every month
starting January 24, 2005, until October 24, 2011.

The sale of the non-operating properties resulted in a gain
amounting to PHP37.6 million.  That figure was reported in the
Company's income statement for the year 2005.

In spite of the fact that the Company incurred losses since
1997, the Company remains to be liquid.  The Company's total
liability as of March 31, 2006, is only 33% of its total assets.
Additionally, 86% of the total value of the Company's assets
amounting to PHP1.86 billion represents the cost of Real Estate
for Sale and Development.  The Company is optimistic that when
it launches its commercial operation, the value of the land
shall dramatically increase and eventually give the Company a
profit margin.

                     About Araneta Properties

Araneta Properties, Inc., formerly known as Integrated Chrome
Corporation, was originally organized to mine chrome ore and
produce ferros metal or commonly known as ferrochrome.  It
changed its name to its present one and changed its primary
purpose to that of land and property development in 1997 with
the entry of the Araneta Group.  With its diversification to the
property development business, it relegated its original primary
purpose to that of a secondary concern.  ARA is now engaged in
the fine-tuning of a master plan for the development of 1,500
hectares of land located in the municipality of San Jose del
Monte, Bulacan, and Caloocan City.

               Significant Doubt on Going Concern

J. Carlitos G. Cruz, of Sycip Gorres Velayo & Company raised
significant doubt on Araneta Properties' ability to continue as
a going concern, noting that the Company has incurred a net loss
of PHP22.9 million in 2005 and PHP55.9 million in 2004, and has
a deficit of PHP651.3 million and PHP626.6 million as of
December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively.

According to Mr. Cruz, the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern depends on the successful development and
completion of its real estate for sale and development asset and
the subsequent sale of the same at reasonable margins.

               Joint Venture with Sta. Lucia Realty

The Company commenced regular activities of its real estate
business in June 2005 after recovering from the regional crisis
that hit the real estate industry in 1997.  The Company,
together with Sta. Lucia Realty and Development Inc. began their
activities based on their joint venture agreement dated June 5,
2003.  Under the agreement, Sta. Lucia will, at its own cost,
develop Araneta-owned lands.  Araneta will be responsible for
the delivery of the parcels of land free from liens and
encumbrances including any claims of tenants or third parties
and from any form of litigation.  Once developed, properties
will be shared by the parties either through cash or lot
overrides.  Araneta will receive 40% of the saleable lots, in
case of a lot override while Sta. Lucia will get 60% of the net
sales proceeds or the saleable lots.  The Company plans to
receive its share in the joint venture operation through a cash
override.

                          Debt Default

The Company also has a PHP38.5-million loan with China Banking
Corporation and a PHP192.7-million loan with the Philippine
National Bank.  The Company indicated in its 2005 annual report
that it is in default in both, and is still in the process of
restructuring its debts for its settlement.

Araneta Properties has defaulted payment on its loans with CBC,
which were due on January 22, 2001, because of continuous
losses.  As of December 31, 2005, negotiations on the debt
restructuring agreement between the Company and CBC are still
ongoing.  Among the terms under the proposed debt restructuring
agreement are:

   (1) full waiver of penalty charges amounting to
       PHP781.7 million as of December 31, 2005;

   (2) release by CBC of the land subject to real estate
       mortgages; and,

   (3) settlement of the principal and interest of the loan
       through remittance by the Company to CBC of a certain
       amount of proceeds from the Company's share in the joint
       venture operation.

The Company also said that it defaulted on its PNB Loan due to
continuous losses.  Management believes that the waiver of
penalty charges amounting to PHP58.7 million in 2005 and
PHP49.4 million in 2004 can be negotiated with PNB.  On Oct. 15,
2004, PNB communicated its willingness to enter into a dacion en
pago for the settlement of the loan in exchange for certain
properties of a Company stockholder.  Under the proposed terms,
PNB will waive penalties and reduce interest charges.  As of
December 31, 2005, the Company and a Company stockholder are
still in the process of documenting the said dacion.  

On February 16, 2006, the Company settled its PNB Loan by way of
dacion en pago.  Under the compromise agreement, PNB waived the
full penalty charges and reduced interest charges to
PHP10.58 million.  The total compromise amount under the dacion
is PHP49.08 million, in exchange of the transfer of certain
properties of a Company stockholder to the PNB.


GLOBE TELECOM: Fitch Revises IDR Rating Outlook to Positive
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings revised on June 7, 2006, the outlook on the
Philippines' Globe Telecom Inc.'s long-term local currency
Issuer Default Rating to positive from stable.  At the same
time, the agency has affirmed the rating at 'BB+' and the 'BB'
long-term foreign currency IDR with a stable outlook, which
reflects the outlook of the Republic of the Philippines' long-
term foreign currency IDR of 'BB'.  Fitch also affirmed the
rating on Globe's senior unsecured debt instruments at 'BB'.

Even though Globe reported only modest improvement in its
financial profile in FY05 -- which was a consequence of the
acute competition and share buyback in H105 -- the company is
expected to consolidate its market position over the course of
2006 leading to further strengthening of key credit protection
measures.  This should be supported by generally more rational
competition than was witnessed during H204 and H105, growth in
cellular subscribers and the relatively weak operating leverage
of most competitors.  That said, Fitch acknowledges that
persistent margin pressures, ongoing investment requirements and
the company's inclination to allocate more of its cash flow to
boost shareholder returns will likely limit the improvement in
Globe's financial profile to a moderate extent.

Globe's ratings are supported by its entrenched second-ranking
position within the Philippine cellular industry -- where Globe
and PLDT account for around 95% of industry subscribers -- its
improving position in the fixed-line voice and internet services
markets, and its very sound level of financial flexibility.  
That said, the neutral regulatory environment and lack of
comparably well-financed competitors effectively support Globe's
efforts to sustain its position as the primary challenger to the
incumbent.  However, Fitch notes that Globe remains highly
dependent upon its cellular operations for cash flow growth and
that the industry faces challenging times ahead in light of the
slowdown in subscriber growth, the intensely competitive nature
of the cellular segment and the recent launch of 3G services --
in which four operators have so far been licensed.

Competition and Globe's decision to purge many inactive
customers contributed to the modest revenue growth in FY05
compared to prior years.  Combined with rapid network expansion,
Globe also experienced margin pressure.  However, the launch of
innovative loyalty plans in late 2005 has had positive effects
in terms of ARPU and subscriber growth as well as in reducing
churn and subscriber acquisition costs, culminating in
substantial margin improvement in Q106.  At FYE05, Globe had
around 12.5 million cellular subscribers -- which Fitch
estimates to be a market share of 36% -- but by Q106 its
subscriber base had risen to 13.2m with Globe enjoying the
majority of net subscriber additions in the quarter.

Consistent with its affiliates within the SingTel group, Globe
employs good fiscal discipline and prudent financial policies.
Globe has improved its financial profile over time even though
credit metrics had generally been quite strong for its ratings.
For instance, net adjusted debt to EBITDAR at FYE05 was 1.6x
while FFO to gross interest was 7.5x.  The company's liquidity
remains quite sound; Globe's cash reserves of PHP10.9 billion at
FYE05 plus committed lines of credit totalling some PHP7.3
billion and consistent positive FCF adequately covers current
debt outstanding of PHP7.9 billion.  Fitch believes that Globe
evidencing an ability to sustain net adjusted leverage around or
below 1.3x as being a possible trigger for an upgrade of the
local currency IDR.  On the other hand, Globe sustaining higher
leverage could prompt a change in Outlook while net adjusted
leverage of 2.0x or more could trigger a downgrade of the local
currency rating.  A debt-funded acquisition would also likely
prompt negative rating action should any such transaction result
in a meaningful heightening of financial and/or business risk in
the near-term.


ISM COMMUNICATIONS: Posts PHP1.99-Mln Net Loss for First Quarter

PILIPINO TELEPHONE: Reports Lost Stock Certificate
--------------------------------------------------
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, Pilipino
Telephone Corp. reported a lost stock certificates for the month
of May 2006.

The lost stock certificate pertains to that of Roderick V. Diaz,
with certificate no. 133150, indicating 30,000 shares.

Headquartered in Makati City, Philippines, Pilipino Telephone
Corporation provides cellular mobile telephone service provider,
as well as provides fixed line telephone services and paging
services to Filipino customers.  In the past seven years, Piltel
was on the brink of bankruptcy with its seemingly insurmountable
debt, continuous losses, outmoded service and dwindling
subscriber base.

The Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific reported that, as
of March 31, 2006, PilTel had an outstanding long-term debt
of PHP17.334 billion -- net of debt discount and including
current portion -- a decrease of PHP335.80 million, or 1.9% from
the PHP17.67 billion balance at year-end 2005 because of the
revaluation of the U.S. dollar- and Japanese yen-denominated
loans, as the Philippine peso appreciated against those
currencies.

The unamortized debt discount as of March 31, 2006, was
PHP3.924 billion as against the PHP4.2 billion as of Dec. 31,
2005.

PilTel owes Smart Communications Inc. PHP14.73 billion or 69.6%
of the total restructured debt.  PilTel's restructured
obligations are secured by substantially all of its present and
future assets under its Mortgage Trust Indenture, entered on
June 4, 2001, with Chase Manhattan Bank as security agent for
the creditors.

         Default and Possible Corporate Rehabilitation

As of March 31, 2006, PilTel acknowledges that it is not in
compliance with the terms of convertible bonds with a principal
amount of US$0.7 million -- approximately US$0.9 million
redemption price at the option of the holders.  Accordingly, the
amount was presented as part of the current portion of interest-
bearing financial liabilities.

PilTel may not be able to restructure or otherwise pay the
claims of its unrestructured debt.

However, default on and acceleration of PilTel's unrestructured
indebtedness does not create a cross-default under PilTel's
restructured indebtedness or any indebtedness of PLDT.

If PilTel's non-participating creditors take forceful measures
to enforce their claims, it is possible that the Company would
be required to submit to a court-supervised rehabilitation
proceeding or an involuntary insolvency proceeding seeking
liquidation.  All of PilTel's creditors that participated in the
debt restructuring agreed that they would submit the Company to
a rehabilitation proceeding in those circumstances and petition
for the adoption of a plan of rehabilitation that includes the
financial terms of the debt-restructuring plan.

However, as stated in the Company's 2005 annual report, the laws
and procedures governing a rehabilitation proceeding in the
Philippine courts remain untested in significant respects.  It
cannot be assured that a rehabilitation plan, which incorporates
the financial terms of the debt-restructuring plan, would be
adopted promptly or at all.  Even if a rehabilitation plan was
adopted, it cannot be assured that Piltel would prove to be
financially viable afterwards.


PRYCE CORP: Clarifies Article on Court Rejection of Rehab Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Pryce Corporation sent a letter to the Philippine Stock Exchange
on June 5, 2006, regarding an article published in the
Philippine Star entitled: Court of Appeals turns down Pryce
rehab plan.

The Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific reported on June 6,
2006, that the Philippine Court of Appeals had rejected the
rehabilitation plan of Pryce Corp. in terms of a debt to
creditor Bank of the Philippine Islands, and ordered the Company
to pay BPI PHP100 million on account of this debt.

The report further states that Pryce Corp. had borrowed
PHP100 million from BPI to maintain operations, and the loan was
secured by mortgages on its properties.  Yet, Pryce sought
rehabilitation on July 9, 2004, stating that it could not pay
its debts to the bank due to weak business following the Asian
financial crisis.  A Makati City regional trial court then
granted Pryce's petition to pay its debts via dacion en pago, or
delivery and transfer of ownership of a thing by the debtor to
the creditor as an accepted equivalent of the performance of
obligation, on Jan. 17, 2005.

According to Pryce Corp., the Court of Appeals' decision
pertains to only one Company creditor, which is BPI.  Under the
Interim Rules of Procedure on Corporate Rehabilitation, all
decisions of the Commercial Court are final and executory.  The
Makati RTC decision still stands since the decision of the Court
of Appeals is not yet final.  Pryce Corp. had recently filed a
motion for reconsideration of the CA decision, and if the High
Court would deny that motion, then the Company can take the
matter up to the Supreme Court.
       
Pryce Corporation -- http://www.prycegardens.com/-- formerly
Pryce Properties Corporation, was incorporated as a property
holding and real estate development company.  The Company's real
estate undertakings include the development of memorial parks,
residential and commercial properties and hotel operations.
In 1997, LPG and industrial gases became the dominant business.  
Thus, the Company changed its name to Pryce Corp. and its
primary purpose from that of a property company to a
manufacturing company.

Pryce, thru its subsidiary Pryce Gases, Inc., manufactures and
distributes oxygen and acetylene in the Visayas and Mindanao and
trades in other gases such as argon, carbon dioxide and
nitrogen.

                          *     *     *

On June 7, 2002, PGI presented a financial rehabilitation plan
to its various creditor banks and foreign financing company as
an initial step towards restructuring its outstanding loans.
On August 27, 2002, the International Finance Corporation and
FMO-Netherlands Development Finance Company, two of PGI's
creditors, filed a petition in court placing PGI under
receivership.  On September 2 that same year, the court issued a
stay order pursuant to the interim rules of procedures on
corporate rehabilitation.

On July 9, 2004, Pryce submitted a Rehabilitation Plan of its
own to the court as an initial step towards restructuring its
outstanding loans.  The Plan was revised and later approved by
the court on January 17, 2005.  The Revised Plan conforms to the
scheme of liquidating all bank loans and long-term commercial
papers by way of dacion en pago of real estate properties with
certain revisions on the settlement of non-banking and trade and
other payables which are PHP500,000 or below.

The Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific reported on May 23,
2006, that Sycip Gorres Velayo & Co. raised substantial doubt on
Pryce Corp.'s ability to continue as a going concern after
auditing the Company's financials for the quarter ended
March 31, 2006.

The Company reported a 38.4% drop in its first-quarter revenue
from PHP465 million in 2005, to PHP286.33 million in 2006.  Net
loss from operations was pegged at PHP22.6 million in the 2006
first quarter, down from the PHP26.6 million in the first
quarter of 2005.  The Company indicated in its financial report
that no dividends have been declared for fiscal 2004 and 2005,
as well as for the first quarter of 2006.


VULCAN INDUSTRIAL: Auditor Raises Going Concern Doubt
-----------------------------------------------------
Vulcan Industrial & Mining Corp. posted a net loss of
PHP29 million for the financial year ended Dec. 31, 2005,
against a PHP47.94-million net loss in 2004, the Troubled
Company Reporter - Asia Pacific finds our from the Company's
2005 annual report submitted to the Philippine Stock Exchange.

Revenues in 2005 total PHP43.91 million compared to
PHP60.14 million in 2004.  The decrease in revenue for 2005 was
brought about mainly by the low in demand of aggregates in
construction industry and other infrastructure projects.  Net
loss amounted to PHP16.84 million in 2005 compared to
PHP40.99 million in 2004.

The Company has not declared dividends for the last three years,
and has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0:59:1 as of Dec. 31, 2005,
compared to a ratio of 0:53:1 as of Dec. 31, 2004.

After auditing Vulcan Industrial's financial report for the year
ended December 31, 2005, Sycip, Gorres, Velayo & Co. raised
significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue operating
as a going concern due to its difficulty in meeting its
obligations to creditor banks.  The Company and its subsidiary's
current liabilities exceeded current assets by PHP227.1 million
in 2005, and by PHP151.8 million in 2004, and its recurring
losses are due to its share in the net losses of subsidiary
Vulcan Materials Corp.  

Vulcan Industrial continues to be adversely affected by the
slump in the business and economic environment, particularly in
the construction industry, but expects to have sufficient
working capital for the next 12 months.  The Company intends to
implement a program this year to raise additional funds.

Incorporated in 1953, Vulcan Industrial is involved in finding,
developing and producing oil and gas reserves and other mineral
properties, although it is not very active at present.  The
Company participates in several Service Contracts and
Geophysical Survey and Exploration Contracts entered into with
the Philippine Government, through the Department of Energy.  
Vulcan Materials Corporation, a 51% owned subsidiary, is
involved in mining and sale of aggregates.

On December 27, 2002, the Company and Metropolitan Bank & Trust
Co. entered into an agreement to refinance the Company's
maturing short-term loan of PHP30 million dated December 26,
2002.  As approved by MBTC's Executive Committee, the short-term
loan was converted into a five-year term loan, inclusive of a
six-month grace period on principal repayments.  The principal
will be paid in 18 equal quarterly installments of
PHP1.7 million commencing at the end of the ninth month from the
drawdown date.  The term loan is fully secured by properties of
National Bookstore, Inc., a related company.  Interest will be
at the prevailing lending rate.  MBTC waived the commitment fees
and pre-payment penalties on the loan.  In 2005 and 2004, the
Company was unable to pay the principal installments due
totaling PHP6.7 million, and has difficulty paying interests
accruing the principal loan balances but it has obtained
advances from its related company to pay obligation as they
fall due.  Starting November 2003, the Company was unable to pay
interests accruing on the principal loan balances.  Accordingly,
the whole amount of the loan was classified as current.

On December 15, 2000, the Board approved the change in the
Company's corporate name from Vulcan Industrial & Mining
Corporation to The Vulcan Resources Corporation.  As of May 12,
2006, the Securities & Exchange Commission has yet to approve
the proposed change in Company.


WELLEX INDUSTRIES: Records PHP0.52-Mln Net Loss for 1st Quarter
---------------------------------------------------------------
Wellex Industries, Inc., posted a PHP0.52 million net loss for

The Company reported PHP0.15 million in revenues for the first
quarter of 2006, compared with the PHP0.20 million in the first
quarter of 2005.  Wellex has ceased commercial operations, and
as such, the only revenues it got come from leasing out
warehouse facilities and from rental income.

PHP5.90 million, a marginal increase of 0.77% compared to the
PHP5.86 million recorded in previous corresponding period.

                     About Wellex Industries

Wellex Industries, Inc., was originally incorporated as Republic
Resources and Development Corporation, whose primary purpose was
to engage in the business of mining and oil exploration.  
However, due to financial distress, the firm's business
operations have been suspended.  The Company's present activity
is focused on reorganizing its operations in preparation for its
new business and is focusing its business activities in
injection molding and vacuum forming with encouraging prospects.

In 1996, WIN's new management has developed a business plan for
the rehabilitation of the company, principally by changing its
primary business from mining and oil exploration to real estate
and energy development.  Mining, however, will continue to be
one of the Company's secondary purposes.  In 1997, it
subsequently transformed to a holding company for manufacturing
concerns with the entry of the Wellex Group.  The Company has
since then been able to initiate projects which have been true
to its vision.  In November 1999, WIN formalized the entry of
Plastic City Industrial Corporation into the Group.  PCIC is the
Philippines' first fully integrated manufacturer of plastic
products used in a number of industries.

                       Going Concern Doubt

After auditing Wellex Industries' financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2005, Joycelyn J. Villaflores, of Diaz
Murillo Dalupan and Co. raised significant doubt on the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern since the Group
had been incurring losses in prior years and had a deficit of
PHP1.369 billion and PHPP1.273 billion as of December 31, 2005
and 2004.

SECONDARY MORTGAGE: To Sell THB1.8 Billion of Distressed Assets
---------------------------------------------------------------
Secondary Mortgage Corporation is planning to restructure and
sell THB1.8 billion worth of distressed assets, the Bangkok Post
reports, citing the Company's director, Naris Chaiyasoot.

Mr. Chaiyasoot said that after improving SMC's finances, the
firm would implement a securitization programme for the loan
assets or the 500,000 units projected to be built under the Ua-
athorn low-income housing project over the next five years.

Bangkok Post explains that Secondary Mortgage was established by
the Government as an agency under the Finance Ministry, to
support the securitization of mortgage assets.  However, the
agency's portfolio has been hit by a fraud scandal involving
former executives colluding with private property developers and
mortgage lenders.

According to the Post, an investigation launched in 2005 found
that SMC's portfolio included assets purchased from private
lenders involving falsified documents aimed at inflating sale
prices to the state agency.

SMC estimates that the fraud case cost the agency some
THB440 million in losses.  The agency's current non-performing
loans account for 42% of its total portfolio, the Post adds.

Mr. Chaiyasoot explained that of the THB1.8 billion in non-
performing assets, THB800 million would be cleared through debt
restructuring and another one billion sold off to state-owned
Asset Management Corp.

Mr. Chaiyasoot believes that the clean-up program would help
improve SMC's financial status and credibility.

                          *     *     *

Secondary Mortgage Corporation -- http://www.smcthailand.com/--  
was established in 1997 by the Emergency Decree on Secondary
Mortgage Finance Corporation B.E. 2540 and started to operate
business in 1998.  It is a state enterprise under the Ministry
of Finance, and is 100% owned by the Government.  Its role is to
promote and develop secondary mortgage market.  This will
increase the availability of housing finance to home buyers,
improve the stability in the banking and monetary system, and
ultimately encourage home ownership for low- and medium-income
families.  It has two main businesses:

   (1) Portfolio Investment: Purchasing mortgage loans from
       approved financial institutions in the primary market for
       retained portfolio investment; and

   (2) Mortgage-Backed Securities or Securitization: Pooling
       mortgage loans into Mortgage-Backed Securities for sales
       to investors and guaranteeing timely payment of interest
       and principal on the securities.


THAI PETROCHEMICAL: Wants Unit to Pay Off Nearly THB2-Bil Debt
--------------------------------------------------------------
TPI Oil Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Thai Petrochemical
Industry Plc, owes its parent firm an aggregate of THB1.94
billion, The Nation reports.

According to the report, due to TPI Oil's debt, Thai Petrochem
decided to stop distributing oil to its subsidiary.  Thai
Petrochem normally sold oil products worth THB1.5 billion to
THB2 billion per month to TPI Oil.

The Nation cites Thai Petrochem's newly appointed chief
operating officer, Piti Yimprasert, as saying that the Company's
board of directors had approved the move to terminate oil
supplies to TPI Oil since it was a month overdue on its debt.

Mr. Yimprasert said that Thai Petrochem's cash flow would be
affected and it may be unable to buy crude oil within three
months if TPI Oil continues to delay payment.  He noted that TPI
Oil usually takes only three to seven days to pay the parent
firm.

Bangkok Post explains that TPI Oil is one of six wholly owned
subsidiaries that remain under the control of Thai Petrochem
founder Prachai Leophairatana and his family despite the fact
that their holdings were reduced to 4% after the Company
underwent debt rehabilitation.  About half of TPI Oil's sales
are derived from its 60 petrol stations and the rest from sales
to fishing boats.

Although TPI's board has been changed with the entry of PTT Plc
as the major shareholder, the directors in the six subsidiaries
remain unchanged, the Post relates.

Mr. Yimprasert expressed hopes that TPI Oil could resume normal
business activities within two months under Thai Petrochem's
control.  "TPI will try to gain control in its subsidiaries one
way or another," he added.

"Actually, if those companies are running as usual, we won't try
to exercise our right as the major shareholder in order to avoid
further disputes with Mr. Leophairatana but under this
situation, we have no choice," Mr. Yimprasert contends.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific on
May 8, 2006, Mr. Leophairatana has been dismissed from his
executive position in Thai Petrochem after the Business
Development Department of Commerce Ministry endorsed the set of
directors representing the new shareholders led by PTT.

Meanwhile, the Stock Exchange of Thailand rejected Thai
Petrochem's request to exit the Rehabco sector since the Company
has yet to comply with the SET requirement to remove Mr.
Leophairatana from its board.

                          *     *     *

Headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand, Thai Petrochemical Industry
Plc -- http://www.tpigroup.co.th/-- is the leading integrated  
petrochemical company in the country, producing naphtha,
liquefied petroleum gas, and lubricant oils.  The Thai
Government was reorganizing the bankrupt company, which had
defaulted on $2.7 billion in loans, until PTT Plc, Thailand's
largest oil and gas group, and Thailand's biggest company,
purchased a 31.5% stake in Thai Petrochemical late in 2005.  In
December 2005, PTT and three other state agencies completed
payment for a 61.5% stake on in Thai Petrochemical.  The money
was used to pay for a bulk of the Company's defaulted loans. The
Company has since been trying to get out of restructuring.

Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific reported on April 28,
2006, that the Central Bankruptcy Court of Thailand approved
Thai Petrochemical's exit from business rehabilitation.  The
Court ruled that the business rehabilitation plan of Thai
Petrochemical and its six subsidiaries -- Thai ABS Co; TPI
Aromatics Plc; TPI Oil Co; TPI Polyol Co; Thai Polyurethane
Industry Plc; and TPI Energy Co. -- be terminated.
