CP POKPHAND: CP Pokphand Gives Pledge for Repayment
---------------------------------------------------
According to the SCMP of June 27, troubled conglomerate CP
Pokphand has vowed to repay its US$1 billion of debt within
a reasonable time.

The Hong Kong-listed arm of the Thailand-based empire said
yesterday it had held confidential discussions with
floating-note holders on repayment and that the discussions
would continue during the next few months. Three sets of
floating-rate notes, to mature in 1999, 2000 and 2001, with
an outstanding $92.8 million, were discussed.

Its cash reserves are drying up, while about $886 million
in borrowings will be due within a year or in demand.

The Hong Kong Standard reports on the same case saying that
the company confirmed the meeting with floating rates notes
holders last month, following its disclosure of a US$107.3
million net loss for the year ended December 31. The
company expects discussions with noteholders to continue
over the next couple of months.

Affected by the Asian turmoil, the company's final results
have worsened following a US$20.69 million loss provision
for diminution of value in Indonesian associated companies
as well as a US$10.16 million loss on provision for
diminution of value in listed and unlisted investments.

shares, of Rhine Holdings between the group's executive
director, David Chui Fat-chuen, and chairman Wang Ming-
qiang has been called off.

The firm said the termination of the deal was due to Mr
Wang's non-payment of the balance on the purchase of $11.2
million worth of shares. The deal was set up earlier this
year with Mr Wang and Mr Chui signing a conditional
agreement on 1 February and two supplementary agreements on
15 and 31 March.

ALL NIPPON AIRWAYS: Reports Net Loss
------------------------------------
All Nippon Airways (ANA) reported a consolidated net loss
of $5.4 billion yen ($38 million) in the latest fiscal
year, as opposed to the net profit of 4.3 billion yen in
the year-earlier. ANA has faced a fierce competition in
domestic operations because of deregulation. They also have
seen a slower pace of growth in the number of international
flight passengers.  

ANA`s group revenue gained 5.8% to $1.081 trillion yen but
the inclusion of 20 consolidated subsidiaries into its
group earnings report hurt its earnings.


DAIMARU: Says Staff Will Be Compensated
---------------------------------------
An article in the Hong Kong Standard says that Daimaru gift
coupons worth $1 million have yet to be redeemed by
customers and there are no plans to exchange coupons for
cash.

No new stock will be ordered for the store other than food
and everyday items. Clearance sales will begin in the near
future and will be carried out on a gradual basis. Company
bosses hinted there would be no dramatic price cutting and
advised customers not to hang on until the very end in the
hope of a bargain.

Company bosses said the group was still strong in Japan and
would turn its attention to its roots here.

Moody`s Investors Service Inc. said it placed Daimaru
Inc.'s senior unsecured debt rating and its Japanese shelf-
registration rating under review for possible downgrade.

Moody`s said the rating review responds to Daimaru's
announcement that it expects to post an extraordinary loss
of about 14 billion yen at the parent level as a result of
the liquidation of its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and France
and its withdrawal from business in Thailand. Moody`s is
also concerned about Daimaru`s weak profitability, which
stayed below that of the other Japanese department stores.


JAPAN AIRLINES: Reports Wider Losses
------------------------------------
Japan Airlines Co. net loss deepened to $442.9 million for
the year ended March 31, compared with its year-earlier
loss of $101.9 million. The leading Japanese airline blamed
its disappointing earnings on a special loss related to a
restructuring of its non-airline operations. Last spring,
Japan Airlines, also known as JAL, said it plans to sell
several of its hotels in the United States and other
overseas resorts to focus on its airline operations.

On a  group basis, the company reported special losses of  
$569.5 million. The losses are related to its investments
in hotels in New York, Hawaii as well as other overseas
operations.

JAL also said demand for international flights was  
affected by the sluggishness in Japan's economy and the
turmoil in Southeast Asian economies.


LONG TERM CREDIT: Officials Discuss LTCB-Sumitomo Merger
--------------------------------------------------------
According to the SCMP of June 27, the Sumitomo Trust and
Banking Corp will use government funds to merge with and
rescue the foundering LTCB in the biggest move so far
towards saving the country's debt-laden banking sector.

The proposed merger, which was confirmed by the two parties
last night, will create the country's second largest bank
with assets of more than 40 trillion yen.

The merger would be the first between a long-term credit
bank and a trust bank licensed to issue debentures to raise
funds and the Japanese government is likely to use this
rescue as an example of the orderly structuring it has
promised for the nation's troubled financial system.

Measures considered by the two banks include proposals to
sell LTCB's bad loans to the government-run Resolution and
Collection Bank, while placing its questionable loans in
the custody of a proposed state-run bank.

Many other banks rejected LTCB's approaches as it is
suffocating under 1.4 trillion yen in bad debt. Yet
Sumitomo Trust itself wrote off 334 billion yen of its 1.13
trillion yen in bad loans in March.

Sumitomo Trust ranks second among Japan's seven trust banks
in terms of funds available. Its assets reach 15.6 trillion
yen compared with LTCB's 26.10 trillion yen as of March 31.

A member of the Osaka-based Sumitomo business group,
Sumitomo Trust posted a parent loss of 93.47 billion yen
for the year to March 31. In the year to March 31, its
operating revenue and net business profit from core banking
operations were 992.4 billion yen and 131.4 billion yen
respectively. Mitsubishi Trust and Banking Co was the top
trust bank.

LTCB has been seeking to rehabilitate its operations by
enhancing tie-up arrangements with Swiss Bank Corp (SBC),
while rumors of its bad-loan problems have scared investors
from purchasing its debentures, its core fund-raising
instrument. LTCB and SBC had earlier set up a joint venture
to engage in businesses such as asset management and
securities.

Following Friday's announcement of merger talks between the
Long Term Credit Bank of Japan Ltd. (LTCB) and the Sumitomo
Trust and Banking Company Ltd., Standard and Poor's Rating
Group said both banks remain on CreditWatch.

However, the Long Term Credit Bank of Japan Ltd.
implication was changed from negative to "developing".
Developing implies that the ratings may be raised, lowered,
or affirmed. Sumitomo Trust and Banking Company Ltd.
remains on CreditWatch with negative implications.

The Nihon Keizai reports the Financial Supervisory Agency
(FSA) plans to begin its inspection of Long Term Credit
Bank of Japan (LTCB) immediately. Officials hope to pave
the way for a smooth merger between LTCB and Sumitomo Trust
& Banking Co. (8403) by accurately assessing the value of
LTCB's loans.


YAMAICHI SECURITIES: Yamaichi Investors Get Formal Apology
----------------------------------------------------------
According to an Agence France-Presse in the Hong Kong
Standard of June 27, Japan's fallen brokerage Yamaichi
Securities held its final shareholders' meeting yesterday,
spending nearly 5 hours apologising to distraught
investors.

Yamaichi's president Shohei Nozawa said Yamaichi took a net
loss of 460.3 billion yen in the past year to March and its
liabilities exceeded its net worth by 22.5 billion yen.

He admitted they he had heard a rumor of off-the-book
losses once in August last year, when he was the head of
the Osaka branch.

Yamaichi ended the meeting approving the earnings report
for the past year and the appointment of three new
auditors. The management failed to discuss a resolution on
liquidating the firm, because there were not enough
shareholders present.

The Financial Times reports many shareholders decided not
to turn up so the resolution could not pass. Yamaichi now
plans to file for a court order for liquidation.

CHUNGCHONG BANK: To Be Taken Over by the Hana Bank
--------------------------------------------------
According to a Korea Times article, the Financial
Supervisory Commission (FSC) has decided to virtually
liquidate five banks which have been under its review. The
weaker banks will be disposed of under a "Purchase and
Acquisition (P&A) formula" whereby stronger banks will
absorb the weak banks by taking over their assets and
liabilities.  

Under this P&A system, the Korea Asset Management
Corporation (KAMC) will write off the bad debts of the
nonviable banks using its public funds. Furthermore, the
FSC will allow the healthier banks to sell off acquired bad
debts from the liquidated banks to the KAMC within six
months of the takeovers. The sounder purchasing banks will
also receive equity capital from the government should
their own capital adequacy ratio set by the Bank for
International Settlements (BIS) fall below 8 percent due
to the acquisition of bad bank assets. Additionally, the
strong banks will be allowed to selectively take over fixed
assets of the weak banks. This means that the strong banks
can acquire only the sound assets of the nonviable banks,
and ask the KAMC to purchase poorly valued assets and bad
debts.

The FSC will shut down the five banks for three to five
days. The Chungchong Bank is to be taken over by the Hana
Bank. Chungchong Bank has 230.8 billion won in capital, 112
branches, 1,467 employees and a BIS Ratio of 7.05%.

PHILIPPINE AIRLINES: Dismissed PAL Pilots End Strike
----------------------------------------------------
According to an Agence France-Presse article in the SCMP of
June 27, Philippines Airlines pilots yesterday ended a
three-week strike, saying they will comply with a
government directive to return to work.

PAL, however, said the pilots had already been fired after
failing to heed the order by the Department of Labour on
June 9, and the airline would accept the pilots only as
applicants for jobs.

Directive from the Labour Department, which was issued on
June, said the pilot should return to work within 24 hours
and PAL should accept them under the same terms as before
the strike, which began on June 5.

However, efforts to serve it to union officials and their
legal counsel failed and pilots said in a letter to their
president that the letter was only served to them on
Thursday.

According to the Hong Kong Standard, 500 strikers were made
to fill out application forms for 100 vacant slots for
pilots.

The union's lawyer Joji Antonio said they would be forced
to file a case of illegal lock-out against PAL if it
refused to take back the pilots, adding that PAL still had
the option to keep its planes and return to normal
operations amid its fiscal difficulties.

AYUDHYA DEVELOPMENT LEASING: Lifts Paid-up Capital to B400m
-----------------------------------------------------------
Ayudhya Development Leasing Corp (ADLC) said yesterday that
it had increased its paid-up capital to 400 million baht
from 250 million.

The International Finance Corporation, the investment arm
of the World Bank, increased its stake from 15% to 19%,
becoming the largest foreign shareholder in ADLC.

Bank of Ayudhya raised its stake from 11% to 29%, becoming
the largest local shareholder.

Raising capital was a precondition for ADLC to obtain
access to a $10-million loan from the International Finance
Corporation. The seven-year loan carries a two-year grace
period and an annual interest rate of Libor (London
Interbank Offered Rate) plus 250 basis points.

Yun Soo Kim, executive vice-president of ADLC, said the
loan would be used to refinance the company's short-term
debts and to fund additional lending and investments.

The increase in the company's capital base should allow
ADLC to increase assets from 3.4 billion baht at the end of
1997 to around four billion by the end of this year.

PHATRA SECURITIES: Phatra May Have Violated Regulations
-------------------------------------------------------
The Bangkok Post reports the Stock Exchange of Thailand
will investigate whether Phatra Thanakit violated
disclosure regulations in announcing its deal with Thai
Farmers Bank last Monday.

SET president Singh Tangtatswas said market officials had
contacted Phatra Thanakit on Monday morning after press
reports surfaced that Thai Farmers Bank was preparing to
launch a tender offer for shares of the finance company.
Mr Singh said a senior Phatra executive had denied the
reports. The SET, as a result, did not suspend trading or
ask for an official clarification.

But later in the afternoon, Phatra and Thai Farmers Bank
executives announced a tender offer for outstanding shares
by the bank at 4.50 baht per share. Shares in Phatra
Securities and Thai Farmers Asset Management held by Phatra
Securities would also be sold to Thai Farmers Bank.

After the transactions, Phatra Thanakit would transfer
performing assets to a new company which would later apply
for a "super-finance" licence. Ailing assets would be
transferred to another company for rehabiliation, sale or
legal action.
