April 17, 1998.

P.T. Riau Andalan Pulp & Paper

(‘‘Company’’), of which RAPP

International Company B.V., is a

subsidiary, has filed an application with

the Securities and Exchange

Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant

to Section 12(d) of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) and Rule

12d2–2(d) promulgated thereunder, to

withdraw the above specified securities

(‘‘Securities’’) from listing and

registration on the New York Stock

Exchange, Inc. (‘‘NYSE’’ or

‘‘Exchange’’).1

The reasons cited in the application

for withdrawing the Securities from

listing and registration include the

following:

The Securities are listed for trading on

the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and,

pursuant to a Registration Statement on

Form 8–A that became effective at the

time of issuance, the NYSE. Trading in

the Securities commenced on the

Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the

NYSE on December 15, 1995.

In August, 1997, the Company

completed a tender offer and consent

solicitation for any and all of the

Securities at a premium over the price

at which they were then trading.

Pursuant to the consent solicitation, the

Company asked the holders of the

Securities to agree to substantial

amendments to the Indenture under

which the Securities has been issued.

Among other things, the amendments

removed from the Indenture covenants

of the Company (i) to maintain listing of

the Securities on the NYSE, and (ii) to

continue to file reports with the

Commission even if the Company was

no longer subject to the Commission’s

reporting requirements. In its offering/

solicitation document, the Company

advised holders of the Securities that it

intended to delist the Securities from

the NYSE if the proposed amendments

to the Indenture became operative.

As a result of the Company’s tender

offer, all but $6 million of the originally

issued and outstanding $300 million in

Securities were tendered by holders.

These holders also consented to the

proposed amendments to the Indenture.

The Company has been unable to locate

the holders who did not tender their

Securities and consent to the proposed

amendments, and the Company believes

it would be impractical to locate them

at the present time.Moreover, the

Company believes the holders of the

Securities are very small in number. In

addition, the Company has represented

that there is essentially no trading in,

and therefore no market for, the

Securities that remain outstanding.

On February 11,1998, the NYSE

advised the Company that it is the

policy of the NYSE not to object the

voluntary applications to delist

securities such as the one filed by the

Company.

The Company has stated that its

application relates solely to the

withdrawal from listing of the Securities

on the NYSE and shall have no effect

upon the continued listing of the

Securities on the Luxembourg Stock

Exchange.

Any interested person may, on or

before May 8, 1998, submit by letter to

the Secretary of the Securities and

Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street,

N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts

bearing upon whether the application

has been made in accordance with the

rules of the exchange and what terms,

if any, should be imposed by the

Commission for the protection of

investors. The Commission, based on

the information submitted to it, will

issue an order grating the application

1PSCo obtained authorization from the

Commission under section 3(b) of the Act to acquire

this indirect interest in Yorkshire Electricity Group

plc. See Holding Co. Act Release No. 26671 (Feb.

19, 1997).

2By order dated August 1, 1997 (Holding Co. Act

Release No. 26748) (‘‘Merger Order’’), PSCo was

authorized to transfer its interest in NCI to NCE, NC

Enterprises or e prime, inc., a nonutility subsidiary

of NC Enterprises. Furthermore, the Merger Order

authorized the transfer through the declaration of a

dividend by PSCo to NCE, followed by a subsequent

capital contribution of the securities of NCI by NCE

to NC Enterprises or to e prime, inc. The proposal

in this Application differs from the proposal

authorized in the Merger Order.

3NC Enterprises plans to prepay the Note with

the proceeds from capital contributions made by

NCE upon the anticipated sale of common stock in

1998 and 1999, as proposed in a post-effective
