Oct. 23 - Asian shares firmed Tuesday, cheered by a recovering Wall Street and Apple's upbeat earnings.


Japan's tech names like Sony helped the Nikkei rebound, along with a slightly weaker yen.

Dan Sloan reporting.

SGX does not regulate how and when broking firms impose trading curbs on stocks.

'These are actions that the
individual broking house would take
to manage its credit exposure, its
stock exposure,' said SGX's head of
risk management and regulation Yeo
Lian Sim. 'SGX does not specifically
have rules on this, nor would we
micro-manage the companies in the
actions that they take.'


She was speaking to reporters at a
briefing convened after 33 retail
investors turned up at SGX's
premises in Shenton Way yesterday
afternoon. They wanted to know why
some broking houses had imposed
trading restrictions on shares in
Uni-Asia Finance Corp before a
drastic drop in the stock price
earlier this week, and if there was
foul play involved.


A commentary in BT on Thursday had
asked if advance knowledge of such
trading curbs at broking houses
should be considered price-sensitive
information, and whether such
decisions should be regulated
accordingly.


'They (the retail investors)
demanded investigation. They wanted
to know whether there was any foul
play and why the curb was imposed
and why SGX did not intervene,' said
David Gerald, president of the
Securities Investors Association of
Singapore (SIAS), who was also at
yesterday's briefing.


SGX's head of markets Gan Seow Ann
had contacted Mr Gerald and asked
him to talk to the investors.


Most of them 'appeared to be contra
players', said Mr Gerald. Contra
traders buy and sell stocks within
three days without having to pay any
cash up front, aiming to make a
profit without using capital.


'They're unhappy about the fact that
a trading curb was imposed and
suddenly the price fell. They
complained that they had lost a lot
of money,' he said.


Investment company Uni-Asia listed
on SGX on Aug 17. After a lacklustre
start, its share price began to
climb rapidly late last month, more
than tripling from 78 cents on Sept
27 to $2.50 on Friday last week.
Then on Monday the price hit an
intra-day high of $2.79 before
plunging to close at $1.95.


The sudden collapse was attributed
to broking houses imposing
restrictions requiring customers to
put cash up front to trade the
counter.


Yesterday, Ms Yeo said the stock
'has been on our radar screen since
late September when the price
started moving up' and SGX is
continuing to monitor it for unusual
trading activity.


Pressed for details, she said: 'We
are doing what we normally do for
all companies. We don't discuss
individual investigations in public.
When we look at the trading, we will
investigate for market manipulation
or insider-trading. That's part of
our normal modus operandi.'


'We have also got in touch with the
issue manager for this counter, DBS
Bank. They have also looked into the
matter and they have not discovered
anything that requires disclosure,'
said Ms Yeo. 'There is of course the
question of was there any
manipulation. We will also
investigate those possibilities just
as we do all the time for all the
market trading.'


Mr Gerald said he will meet broking
houses on Monday to find out why
they had imposed the curbs.


Meanwhile, 'I would ask the retail
investors to be calm and allow SGX
to complete its investigations and
SIAS to look into this matter
further with the broking houses,' he
said.


'If they need legal advice, SIAS
will be more than happy to help them
... at the appropriate time.'

Government Denies plan to swap shares listed Hong Kong and mainland stock exchange

The central government denied on Thursday that it was studying a plan to

allow swaps of shares of companies listed both in Hong Kong and the

mainland after reports of such a scheme doused Shanghai's red-hot market

and lifted Hong Kong shares to record highs.


Share valuations in Shanghai have raced ahead of prices in Hong Kong this

year, with many dual-listed companies commanding twice the price north of

the border. But the growing disparity raises fears of a bubble and begs

the question of how the valuation gap will be closed if the mainland's

market is to open up.


Deputy securities regulator Tu Guangshao on Wednesday said officials were

studying the idea of share swaps, although he did not elaborate. Senior

Hong Kong officials have been advocating an arbitrage mechanism for almost

a year.


But a spokesman for the China Securities Regulatory Commission later said

there had been a misunderstanding and Mr Tu had been referring to a

putative exchange of equity between stock exchanges in the mainland and

Hong Kong, not a share swap scheme.

Adding to the confusion, a top banker earlier appeared to confirm the

existence of a plan.


Adding to the confusion, a top banker earlier appeared to confirm the

existence of a plan.

"It is still at the study stage and there's still quite a long way to go

before it is operational," Bank of Communications (SEHK 3328) chairman

Jiang Chaoliang told reporters during the Communist Party Congress on

Thursday.


"The regulators have asked us for our opinions."


The A-share H-share premium index, showing the difference in prices of

shares listed both exchanges, fell almost 5 per cent on Thursday as

H-shares rallied and A-shares swooned.


"A share swap, or even the likelihood of it, would be a big blow to the

market as it means A shares, which are overvalued, would slump to the

levels of H shares," said Liu Lifeng, fund manager at BOC (SEHK 3988)

International Holdings. "Most institutions now expect the index to be soft

in the medium term."


Allowing swaps between shares on the two bourses would imply equalising

prices in the two centres, meaning a huge shift for firms such as Jiangxi

Copper (SEHK 0358), whose A-shares cost more than double its H-shares.


The imbalance between mainland and Hong Kong demand was evident earlier

this month when the mainland's top coal company Shenhua Energy sold shares

in Shanghai for the first time, attracting US$360 billion (HK$2.8 billion)

in subscriptions.


The Shanghai market is under heavy corrective pressure after repeatedly

notching up record highs. Fuelled by cash thrown off by China's galloping

economy, the index has risen 117 per cent this year, outpacing an 88 per

cent gain in H-shares.


"I'm sure at some point of time there will be the opportunity for

arbitrage between the two markets," said Rudolf Apenbrink, HSBC (SEHK 0005

, announcements, news) Investments (Hong Kong) Asia chief executive, which

has more than US$60 billion of assets under management.


"And at some point of time the price-valuation gap will diminish. But it

is nearly impossible for me to say how long that will take. It really

depends on regulations," he told Reuters.


The see-sawing came one day after a stockmarket spasm in the region's

other big emerging economy, India. Shares there plunged 9 per cent on Wednesday on fears that a method foreigners have used to invest in stocks

could be curbed, but they later recovered almost all the lost ground.


Chinese shares have soared not because of foreign money, which is largely

barred, but because Chinese savers have few investment options beyond

stocks, real estate and bank deposits.


Capital controls mean they may not invest abroad, while, at home,

financial markets are still underdeveloped and interest rate caps make

other investment products unattractive.


With no derivative instruments enabling investors to short sell, mainland

share prices have risen unimpeded by people betting against the herd.

Oct. 15 - Airbus hands over the first A380 to Singapore Airlines, 18 months later than expected, while denying fresh delays to the superjumbo.

The first delivery of an A380 marks the culmination of Europe's biggest industrial project which has taken 7 years of effort and cost 11 billion euros ($15.5 billion).

Problems with installation of wiring in the superjumbo delayed the A380 project by two years and pushed the planemaker into loss.

But Airbus sales chief John Leahy denied reports in a French newspaper that Airbus remained worried about deliveries and had launched a new set of measures to weed out any further delays.

The plane received by Singapore Airlines can seat 471 people and will enter service between Singapore and Sydney on 25th October.

About China Oilfield Technology Services Group Limited
Based in Heilongjiang Province's Daqing oilfield region, one of the largest oilfields in the PRC, China Oilfield Technology's core activities lie in the research, development, manufacture and sales of customised integrated equipment and products that are used in enhancing the extraction of crude oil.

With a strong emphasis on research and development ("R&D") and product quality, China Oilfield Technology incorporates proprietary technology in tertiary oil recovery, and provides practical and cost effective technical solutions to cater to its customers' needs. Backed by 40 full-time R&D personnel, the Group has developed various patented oil extraction equipment and technology over the years.

The Group has production facilities located in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province of the PRC, and R&D facilities located in Beijing and Daqing City.

In October 2004, China Oilfield Technology acquired a 348,792-sqm site for the construction of a new production complex, Dafeng Industrial Park, in the Third Zone of Hi-Tech Development Zone, Daqing City. The first phase of the Park is targeted to be completed by end 2007.

Product Range
The Group has a wide range of tertiary oil recovery products, which can be divided into three segments:
(i) Enhanced Oil Recovery;
(ii) Environmental Protection; and
(iii) Energy Saving and Others

All of China Oilfield Technology's products are sold directly to PRC oil extraction companies operating in Daqing oilfield, which is one of the first oilfields to adopt tertiary oil recovery technology in the PRC.

There are three main phases of oil recovery:
i) Primary oil recovery - Uses natural pressure of the reservoir to push crude oil to the surface, and allows about 5% to 10% of the oil in the reservoir to be extracted.
ii) Secondary oil recovery - Pressurised gas and water are used to drive the residual crude oil and gas to the surface wells, and allows an additional 25% to 30% of the oil in the reservoir to be extracted.
iii) Tertiary oil recovery - Different materials are injected to improve the flow between oil, gas and rock, and to recover crude oil remaining after the primary and secondary oil recovery phases, and allows an additional 20% to 30% of the oil in the reservoir to be extracted.

China Oilfield Technology provides customised equipment and technical solutions incorporating its proprietary technology and techniques in tertiary oil recovery to enhance the extraction of oil. There are various tertiary oil recovery techniques. China Oilfield Technology focuses on chemical flooding, or the injection of chemicals such as alkali or polymer into the oil reservoirs. In the PRC, chemical flooding, particularly polymer flooding and ASP injection, is the preferred tertiary oil recovery technique due to technical and economic considerations.

Industry Prospects
Said Mr Gao Yanming, China Oilfield Technology's founder and Executive Chairman: "Thanks to China's strong economic growth, China continues to be a net importer of oil because of its strong appetite for oil, and this is in spite of it being one of the largest oil producing countries in the world! In order to sustain the output of oil extracted from its existing oilfields, China needs to employ tertiary oil recovery methods as some of its major oilfields are mature and at the secondary stage. China Oilfield Technology is well positioned to capitalise on the opportunities this offers as we have the proven track record. Daqing oilfield is one of the first oilfields to adopt tertiary oil recovery technology in the PRC."

In a report published by PetroChina Company Limited dated 3 April 2007, Daqing Oilfield Co., Ltd., which is wholly-owned by PetroChina Company Limited, announced its plan to extend the use of tertiary oil recovery techniques in more than 80% of its oil extraction sites in its oilfields in the Daqing region in the next 15 to 20 years.

By the end of 2006, tertiary oil recovery in Daqing oilfield had reached an output of more than 10 million tonnes per year, accounting for about 25% of the total crude oil output in Daqing oilfield.

Other oilfields in the PRC, such as Shengli, Changqing and Xinjiang, are expected to expand the scale of their tertiary oil recovery processes as their oilfields approach maturity.

"We believe that the majority of PRC oilfields have not commenced tertiary oil recovery technology. Given the limited supply of crude oil resources in the PRC, as well as a growing focus on improving the oil recovery rate and extending the production life of oilfields, tertiary oil recovery is expected to play an increasingly important role in the near future," said Mr Gao.

"Leveraging on China Oilfield's established record in tertiary oil recovery in Daqing, we believe that this listing will further enhance our credibility and reputation in the industry to enable us to expand our business to attract potential customers both in the domestic market as well as in new overseas markets," he added.

Financial Highlights
Fuelled by the demand for tertiary oil recovery, China Oilfield Technology's revenue has grown from approximately RMB49.7 million in FY2004 to approximately RMB149.4 million in FY2006. The Group's net profit grew from RMB17.7 million in FY2004 to RMB97.7 million in FY2006.

In the first five months of FY2007 ("FP2007"), the Group posted a revenue of RMB34.3 million (compared to RMB29.8 million in FP2006), and net profit of RMB17.4 million (compared to RMB12.4 million in FP2006). A major portion of the Group's sales are typically recognised in the second half of the year.

As at 31 May 2007, the Group has secured confirmed sales orders amounting to approximately RMB93.7 million, which are usually fulfilled within six months.
