Referring to the report titled PT Mekardaya markets heavy
equipment Halla-Hitachi to KTI we would like to make a
correction. We, PT Hexindo Adiperkasa as an exclusive distributor
of Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd., Japan, would like to
announce that the report by PT Mekardaya is false and needs
clarifying.

The following is a statement by Hitachi Construction
Machinery, Japan, signed by S. Ueda in his capacity as Director
of International Division.

Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd., located in Tokyo,
Japan hereby states that PT Hexindo Adiperkasa is our exclusive
distributor in Indonesia. We also announce that:

* We do not have joint venture relations with Halla
Engineering & Heavy Industries in South Korea.

* We are not responsible for the sale and after sales support
of Halla products.

* Halla has no rights to use the trademark Hitachi or Halla-
Hitachi for its heavy equipment products. The rights belong to PT
Hitachi Construction Machinery Indonesia as a subsidiary company
and PT Hexindo Adiperkasa as our exclusive distributor in
Indonesia.

This will clarify the matter.
