ABC LEARNING: CEO Groves Sells Majority of Stake
------------------------------------------------
Eddy Groves, founder and chief executive officer of of A.B.C.
Learning Centres Limited, sold most of his remaining stake after
more margin calls in the wake of a deal to sell part of the
company's U.S. assets, Reuters reports.

In a notice filed to the Australian stock exchange, Mr. Groves
sold 12.165 million shares, leaving him with 3,186 shares and
options, Reuters relates.  His wife, Le Neve Groves, a director,
also sold her entire holding of six million shares.

Reuters notes that ABC Learning's shares were hammered last week
after disappointing earnings and concerns about it high debt
levels, built up to fund a rapid expansion in the U.S. last
year.  The fall triggered margin sales by several directors,
including Eddy Groves.

ABC recently announced that it would sell 60% of its U.S.
business to Morgan Stanley Private Equity, raising about AU$750
million to repay part of its heavy debts, Reuters reports.

                   About A.B.C. Learning

A.B.C. Learning Centres Limited provides childcare services and
education.  The company operates in Australia, New Zealand, the
United States and the United Kingdom.  The company's
subsidiaries include A.B.C. Developmental Learning Centres Pty

September 2007, the company purchased the Nursery division
(Leapfrog Nurseries) from Nord Anglia Education PLC.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific on
February 29, 2008, the company's Sydney trading last Feb. 26,
plunged 43% after a slump in earnings raised concerns it may
struggle to repay debt.  The drop to AU$2.14 triggered margin
calls on stakes held by some directors.  Consequently, stock
trading was halted as the company entered talks on "indications
of interest" for parts of its business.

More than 96% of the remaining 21.9 million ABC Learning shares
owned by directors, equivalent to 4.6% of stock outstanding, are
held in margin lending arrangements that may result in forced
sales.


ALLCO FINANCE: Banks Seized Allco Shares Causing Record Slump
-------------------------------------------------------------
Allco Finance Group has fell to a record low in Sydney trading
after banks seized 14% of the company's outstanding shares as
collateral for unpaid debt, Bloomberg News reports.  Allco
slumped 17% to 52.5 cents at the close of March 7, slashing the
company's market value to AU$196 million (US$183 million), down
from a peak of AU$4.9 billion in Feb. 2007.

National Australia Bank Ltd. took possession of 34.5 million
shares while Bank of Scotland International Ltd., a unit of HBOS
Plc, seized 18.3 million, Bloomberg reports, citing Allco's
statement.  Neither bank was immediately available for comment.

The shares earlier that day fell as much as 48%, Bloomberg says.

"It's going to be hard work for Allco to survive now," Peter
Morgan, who manages more than US$3 billion in Sydney, told
Bloomberg.  "It's got a very risk-averse market against it.
Allco has a very complex structure and was always a speculative
play."

Allco is selling businesses as part of negotiations with banks
on AU$250 million of loans due May 1, Bloomberg notes.  Lenders
including ABN Amro Holding NV, Commonwealth Bank of Australia
and Westpac Banking Corp. are reviewing Allco's ability to repay
a further AU$900 million of debt after the company's market
value fell below AU$2 billion.

                    About Allco Finance

Allco Finance Group Ltd. is an integrated global financial
services business, specializing in asset origination, funds
creation and funds management. The Company is a fund manager of
alternative assets in its core asset classes, which include
aviation, rail, shipping, infrastructure, property, private
equity and financial assets.  Its primary focus is on commercial
property, predominately completed office buildings and select
development opportunities. It also purchases new and existing
commercial passenger and cargo aircraft for lease to commercial
airlines.  In March 2007, Allco HIT Limited acquired Momentum
Investment Finance Pty Limited, Allco Financial Services and
International Mezzanine Funds Management (Australia) Limited.
The Company is a vendor of Momentum Investment Finance Pty
Limited and Allco Financial Services.  In July 2007, it acquired
Allco Equity Partners Ltd.  In December 2007, it completed the
acquisition of the remaining 79.6% stake of Rubicon Holdings
(Aust) Limited.

Published reports said that Allco is in the brink of insolvency
and is currently negotiating a new business plan that will avoid
puttings its operations in the hands of administrators.
According to The Age, Allco board is faced with four problems:

   -- Meeting a fast-approaching deadline to refinance at least
      US$250 million in debt.

   -- Ensuring there is enough cash to cover its continuing,
      and much larger, loan commitments.

  -- Renegotiating or pulling out of a recently announced
     joint venture deal to buy US$1.7 billion of US power
     stations, of which Allco would fund half by debt and
     equity.

  -- Signing the company's accounts, for which they will be
     personally liable, that would allow the suspension on
     Allco's beleaguered shares to be lifted.


ALLCO FINANCE: Babcock & Brown Buys Shares in Rubicon Trusts
------------------------------------------------------------
Babcock & Brown Ltd. and affiliates have acquired part of stakes
sold by Allco Finance Group Ltd. in Rubicon property trusts,
Reuters reports.  The Australian investment bank bought stakes
of about 5% each in Rubicon America Trust RAT.AX and Rubicon
Europe Trust Group REU.AX for undisclosed amounts.

Allco's lenders told Reuters they were forced to sell Allco's
holdings in the property trusts because of margin calls.

Babcock & Brown Japan Property Trust also bought a similar stake
in Rubicon Japan Property Trust RJT.AX for AU$4.6 million,
Reuters says.

ALLCO FINANCE: Shareholder API to Appoint Administrator
-------------------------------------------------------
One of Allco Finance Group's significant shareholders, Allco
Principal Investments Pty Ltd., expects to appoint a voluntary
administrator shortly, The Sydney Morning Herald reports.

Allco told the news agency that Allco Principal had failed to
reach agreement on the terms of an ongoing standstill
arrangement with its remaining margin lenders, Bank of Scotland
International Ltd. and National Australia Bank Ltd.

NAB has appointed agents to take possession of 23.722 million
Allco shares owned by API, over which the bank holds a fixed
charge, the same report notes.  NAB's appointed agents further
took possession of Allco's 10.76 million shares, pledged to the
lenders by entities associated with "certain" Allco executives,
the report relates.

According to the report, Bank of Scotland had informed API that
it would appoint a receiver to all the asset and undertaking of
API, including 600,000 shares in listed fund Allco HIT.  The
receiver would also be appointed to 18.34 million shares in
Allco and 2.4 million shares in Allco HIT pledged to Bank of
Scotland by entities associated with the Allco executives, the
report notes.

The Herald recounts that on January 23, API had a 6.50% stake in
Allco.

As reported in the Troubled Company - Asia Pacific on
March 4, 2008, potential class action is looming against Allco
Finance Group after it failed to disclose multi-millions of
dollars in current liabilities.  Shares in Allco Finance have
continued to tumble after the company announced that it has
US$3.5 billion in liabilities coming due this year.  This figure
is around half of Allco's total borrowings.  Allco's 2007 annual
report only reflected US$200 million in liabilities.  Lawyers
say investors may be able to take legal action, given that the
proper level of debt had not been disclosed, as is required by
the Corporations Act.

CHRYSLER LLC: Plastech Agrees to Continue Supply Until March 17
---------------------------------------------------------------
Plastech Engineered Products Inc. and its debtor-affiliates, and
Chrysler LLC agreed to extend their supply agreement to March 17
even as Chrysler argues its tooling case before the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, the
Associated Press reports.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 4, 2008,
Chrysler LLC, Chrysler Motors Company LLC, and Chrysler Canada
Inc., took an appeal under 28 U.S.C. Section 158(a) before the
Court from the orders of the Honorable Phillip Shefferly that
denies:

  i) the lifting of the automatic stay to allow Chrysler to
     regain possession of tooling located in Plastech Engineered
     Products Inc. and its debtor-affiliates' plants; and

ii) issuance of a preliminary injunction in connection with the
     proposed recovery of tooling equipment.

Judge Shefferly said in a court opinion that the Debtors needed
to keep the tooling equipment to faciliate them in their
reorganization.  The balancing of interests favored Plastech,
the Court said.

The Court affirmed the Debtors' contentions that the automatic
stay applies to both the tooling paid by Chrysler and the
tooling that Chrysler has not paid for.  "Even assuming that the
Debtor has only a possessory interest in the tooling paid for by
Chrysler, that is a sufficient interest by itself to cause the
application of the automatic stay," Judge Shefferly said.

In addition, the Court was convinced that if Chrysler takes
immediate possession of the tooling, the Debtor will not be able
to continue to provide parts uninterrupted to its other major
customers and therefore any prospect of an effective
reorganization will be lost.

CHINA EASTERN: Air China Seeks to Partner Cathay to Boost Offer
---------------------------------------------------------------
Continuing with the war of nerves that has characterized the
battle to acquire a stake in China Eastern Airlines Corporation
Limited, suitor and current stakeholder Air China now says that
it may introduce Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific Airways as a
partner in its bid.  According to Air China's acting chairman
Kong Dong, Cathay Pacific will provide the required management
expertise and international competitiveness that China Eastern
wants.

China Eastern's chairman, Li Fenghua, has said time and again
that his airline's attempt to partner with Singapore
International Airlines was based on sound principles of
acquiring management expertise and international experience,
which a stake sale to the Singapore Airlines would provide.  He
has also asserted that partnering with a mainland carrier, like
Air China, brought no benefits to his airline's operation.

A bid by Singapore Airlines to pick up a 24% stake in China
Eastern was thwarted by shareholders even as Air China's parent,
the China National Aviation Holding Co., offered what it said
would be a more attractive bid.  China Eastern has rejected the
bid on technical grounds.

Air China's latest offer to China Eastern, with Cathay Pacific
as a likely foreign partner, now seeks to blunt all arguments in
favor of Singapore Airlines.

Mr. Kong also said that Air China is sincere about the strategic
partnership with China Eastern and even if China Eastern's
shares should fall below the previously offered price, it would
stick to the plan.

He said that a detailed plan would be put forward if China
Eastern should accept the latest proposal.

Meanwhile, Cathay Pacific chairman, Christopher Pratt, who has
earlier shown his willingness to provide financial assistance
for Air China's bid, said he will back the current plan as well
but that the issue would not be resolved in the short term.

Air China, a subsidiary of state-controlled China National
Aviation Holding Co, made an offer in January to buy as much as
30% stake of China Eastern at HK$5 apiece.  China Eastern,
however, rejected this offer on February 26, 2008.

2006, Hong Kong Dragon Airlines Limited became a wholly owned

Limited increased their cross-shareholdings.  Air China
purchased a 17.5% interest in Cathay Pacific and Cathay Pacific
increased its interest in Air China from 10% to 17.3%.  Cathay
Pacific is also the major shareholder in AHK Air Hong Kong
Limited, an all-cargo carrier offering scheduled services in the
Asian region.

PETROLEOS DE VENEZUELA: Foreign Clients Must Pay Through Bank
-------------------------------------------------------------
Petroleos de Venezuela SA has instructed foreign clients to pay
their purchases by making deposits in Banco Central de
Venezuela's account in Switzerland's UBS bank, El Universal
reports.

Banco Central de Venezuela agreed with Petroleos de Venezuela to
make the oil-related deposits in the UBS account that they own
jointly so they can determine what the payments for the oil
company's sales are, El Universal says, citing sources.

Traders told El Universal that over the last few weeks they made
the payments to that account, after a court order froze a US$315
million account of Petroleos de Venezuela's Cerro Negro in the
New York Bank at the request of US oil company Exxon Mobil.
Petroleos de Venezuela has an ongoing dispute with Exxon Mobil
over an asset freeze order issued by the London High Court,
among others.

Petroleos de Venezuela SA -- http://www.pdv.com/-- is
Venezuela's state oil company in charge of the development of
the petroleum, petrochemical and coal industry, as well as
planning, coordinating, supervising and controlling the
operational activities of its divisions, both in Venezuela and
abroad.  The company has a commercial office in China.

PDVSA is one of the top exporters of oil to the US with proven
reserves of 77.2 billion barrels of oil -- the most outside the
Middle East -- and about 150 trillion cu. ft. of natural gas.

PDVSA's exploration and production take place in Venezuela, but
the company also has refining and marketing operations in the
Caribbean, Europe, and the US.

                           *     *     *

As of Feb. 14, 2008, Fitch Ratings held Petroleos de Venezuela
SA's long-term issuer default rating and local currency long
term issuer default rating at BB-.  Fitch said the ratings
outlook is negative.


PETROLEOS DE VENEZUELA: Gets OPEC'S Support in Exxon Conflict
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries told Thomson
Financial that will support Venezuela in the legal dispute
between Petroleos de Venezuela SA and Exxon Mobil Corp.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
March 6, 2008, the Venezuelan government asked OPEC to discuss
during a March 5 meeting Exxon Mobil's seeking of asset freeze
court order against Petroleos de Venezuela.  Exxon Mobil asked
the London High Court to uphold the order freezing
US$12 billion in Petroleos de Venezuela's assets to support the
arbitration process between both parties.  The asset-freeze
order against Petroleos de Venezuela was made so that Exxon
Mobil Corp. would be able to extract compensation should it win
a pending arbitration.  Petroleos de Venezuela has appealed the
asset-freeze order.  Petroleos de Venezuela contends that the
U.K. court doesn't have the authority to award the injunction
because the case involved U.S. and Venezuelan firms.

According to news agency EFE, Exxon Mobil didn't explain why it
is seeking to freeze Petroleos de Venezuela's assets when the
U.S. giant is demanding compensation of no more than US$5
billion.

OPEC told Thomson Financial that its members unanimously agreed
at its production meeting to support Venezuela.

EFE relates that Samuel Moncada, Venezuela's ambassador to
Britain, thanked OPEC for the support.  "It seems very important
to us that the world's organization of producing countries of
petroleum learned of the situation and of the potential danger
that this has for themselves.  Other petroleum exporting
countries are taking account of the dangerous situation in that
Exxon, with this type of aggressive action, can put them in
foreign courts," Ambassador Moncada told EFE.

Ambassador Moncada said in a statement, "The conference
expressed its support to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
and Petroleos de Venezuela SA, in the exercise of its sovereign
rights over its natural resources, in accordance with
international law.  The Conference called for resolving any such
disputes through good faith and amicable negotiations."

EFE notes that Ambassador Moncada is confident that bilateral
relations with Britain wouldn't be affected by the Petroleos de
Venezuela-Exxon Mobil dispute.  Ambassador Moncada told EFE that
he hoped that "reason prevails in this case and the limits of
national jurisdiction remain where they are now, in the national
territories."  "We're surprised by this cunning and unexpected
attack because when the decision was made neither the PDVSA
[Petroleos de Venezuela] nor the (Venezuelan) nation was
informed.  We were surprised by an order to freeze assets in an
English court when we had not the slightest idea of why that
could occur here.  This is not a private case. This is a case
where a nation is involved."

El Universal relates that British deputies that included three
Labor Party representatives and members of the parliamentarian
group Friends of Venezuela, one Welsh nationalist, and a Green
Party representative led a protest against Exxon Mobil outside
the London High Court.

According to EFE, the protesters claimed that Exxon Mobil's
lawsuit against Petroleos de Venezuela has "a political
motivation."

Parliamentarian group Friends of Venezuela's chairperson Colin
Burgon told El Universal, "We are really concerned about the
fact that a multinational corporation such as Exxon is trying to
threaten the sovereignty of the Venezuelan State" to dispose of
its natural resources.

Petroleos de Venezuela SA -- http://www.pdv.com/-- is

ZINIFEX: Allegiance's Chinese Stakeholder Retains Interest
----------------------------------------------------------
The Chinese stakeholder in Allegiance Mining NL, which is being
taken over by Zinifex Limited, is retaining its interest in the
target and mulls the implications of Zinifex's own takeover by
Oxiana Ltd., Reuters says.

Jinchuan Group Ltd, the largest shareholder in Allegiance Mining
with 10.4% stake, told Reuters it is waiting to see how the
situation develops.

"For the time being we are not selling," Yang Zhiqiang,
Jinchuan's vice-chairman, told Reuters.  "We want to hold on and
see how things develop."

Allegiance chairman Tony Howland-Rose told The Age.com Junchuan
may be happy to become a minority shareholder in a merged Oxiana
and Zinifex because it will open up opportunities with a range
of metals markets.

"There have been some very sharp changes in the past few months
and I suppose they are taking time to evaluate that," Mr.
Howland-Rose added to The Age.com, adding that he was not
surprised by the news.

Jinchuan has off-take agreements for all nickel produced by
Allegiance assets, The Age.com notes.

Mr. Howland-Rose disclosed to The Age.com that Jinchuan, the
largest nickel producer in Asia and the second largest copper
producer in China, was interested in other metals.  By holding
becoming a minority shareholder in a merged Oxiana and Zinifex,
Jinchuan could gain exposure to the companies' combined lead,
zinc, gold and copper assets, he said.

                  About Allegiance Mining

Allegiance Mining NL is an Australian nickel mining company.
The company's activities are focused on Avebury Nickel Project
and Regional Nickel Exploration mainly in the West Coast region
of Tasmania.  The Avebury nickel project is located near Zeehan

north of Zeehan.  In Feb. 2008, Zinifex Limited's subsidiary,
Zinifex Australia Limited, acquired a substantial interest in
Allegiance Mining NL.

                    About Zinifex Limited

As reported on Mar 5, 2008, Fitch Ratings has placed Zinifex

on Rating Watch Positive, following the announcement of a merger
proposal with Oxiana Limited, whereby both companies will own
50% each of a new company yet to be named.  The rating watch is

EMCO LTD: Fixes March 25 as Record Date for Stock Split
-------------------------------------------------------
Emco Ltd. has fixed March 25, 2008, as the record date for the
company's planned 5:1 stock split, a filing with the Bombay
Stock Exchange relates.

As previously reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia
Pacific, Emco's shareholders approved, on Feb. 25, the proposed
subdivision of the company's equity shares of nominal value of
INR10 each to shares of nominal value of INR2 each.  The
shareholders gave their nods at the extraordinary general
meeting on Feb. 25, 2008.

Headquartered in Jalgaon, India, Emco Ltd. --
http://www.emcoindia.com-- offers transmission and distribution
solutions within the power sector in India.

Emco's senior unsecured debt carries Credit Analysis and
Research Limited's BB rating, effective May 23, 2007.


GENERAL MOTORS: Offers Additional Exit Financing to Delphi Corp.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Delphi Corp. is taking the steps necessary to enable the
completion of its exit financing syndication.  Delphi said that
it has been advised by General Motors Corp. that GM is prepared
to provide additional exit financing.  The company's US$6.1
billion exit financing package is now expected to include a
US$1.6 billion asset-backed revolving credit facility, at least
US$1.7 billion of first-lien term loan, an up to US$2.0 billion
first-lien term note to be issued to GM (junior to the US$1.7
billion first-lien term loan), and an US$825 million second-lien
term loan, of which any unsold portion would be issued to GM.

Delphi believes that GM's increased participation in the exit
financing structure is necessary to successfully syndicate its
exit financing on a timely basis and is consistent with its
First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization and the investment
agreement with its plan investors.  However, certain of Delphi's
plan investors have advised the company they believe the
proposed exit financing with increased GM participation would
not comply with conditions in the company's investment agreement
between Delphi and the plan investors.

To clarify that GM's increased participation complies with the
Plan and the investment agreement, and to require each of the
Plan Investors to perform their obligations under the investment
agreement, Delphi asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York seeking limited relief from the
Court under section 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to
the Plan, which was confirmed by the Court on Jan. 25, 2008.

Under Section 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code, bankruptcy courts may
direct the debtor and any other necessary party to perform any
act that is necessary for the consummation of a plan that has
been confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

Delphi's lead plan investor has also agreed to extend from
March 31, 2008, to Apr. 5, 2008, the first date by which it
could terminate the investment agreement with Delphi if the
effective date of the Plan has not occurred, which would provide
Delphi additional time to comply with closing conditions under
the investment agreement.

of General Motors at 'B', with a Rating Outlook Negative.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Nov. 9, 2007,

QUEBECOR WORLD: Seeks OK to Pay Non-Worker Sales Commissions
------------------------------------------------------------
Quebecor World Inc. and its debtor-affiliates' sales and
marketing efforts are done through both employees and third-
party brokers.  The Debtors previously sought and obtained U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York's
approval to pay sales commissions that accrued prepetition to
one group of sales employees who were otherwise scheduled to
receive their commissions on Feb. 1, 2008.

The Debtors now seek the Court's permission to pay commissions
that accrued prepetition to non-employee sales brokers.  Michael
Canning, Esq., at Arnold & Porter LLP, in New York, relates that
these third-party brokers are utilized in certain segments of
the Debtors' businesses, and it is crucial to the Debtors' sales
and marketing effort that the Debtors maintain a strong and
loyal team of sales brokers.

The Debtors have determined that there approximately 36 brokers
who are or will likely be due commissions based on prepetition
activities.  The total amount expected to be owing for these
commissions is US$705,775.  There could be some variation in the
final total based on payments from customers, but it is not
anticipated that the final total will be materially higher
than this amount, Mr. Canning says.

QUEBECOR WORLD: NFR Wants Stay Lifted & Base Contract Terminated
----------------------------------------------------------------
National Fuel Resources and Quebecor World Buffalo Inc., debtor-
affiliate of Quebecor World Inc., are parties to a base contract
for the purchase of natural gas and a transaction confirmation,
each dated June 14, 2007.  Pursuant to the NFR Contract, NFR
provides natural gas to Quebecor World Buffalo Inc.  Quebecor
World Buffalo Inc. currently owes NFR US$277,163 for unpaid
natural gas provided before the bankruptcy filing.  This amount
constitutes invoices due and owing for gas provided by NFR to
Quebecor World Buffalo Inc. for December 2007 and the portion of
January 2008.

Under the NFR Contract, NFR may terminate the contract upon 30
days' written notice and could demand a prepayment in the event
that Quebecor World Buffalo Inc. files a petition for bankruptcy
relief.

NFR was included in the list of utilities filed by the Debtors
in their chapter 11 cases.  Before the entry of the Utility
Order, NFR and the Debtors agreed that NFR will not be subject
to the order and that each party will reserve its rights with
respect to the question of whether NFR was a utility as defined
under the Bankruptcy Code, and agreed to discuss an adequate
protection framework to protect NFR.

National Fuel Resources asks the U.S, Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York to:

  (1) lift the automatic stay to exercise its contractual right
      to terminate the NFR Contract;

  (2) grant it adequate protection to protect its interest in
      the NFR Contract until it is assumed or rejected by the
      Debtors;

  (3) compel the Debtors to assume or reject the NFR Contract;
      and

  (4) grant it adequate assurance of future payment, if the
      Court determines NFR as a utility under Section 366 of the
      Bankruptcy Code.

Allan Hill, Esq., at Phillips Lytle LLP, in New York, states
that NFR is entitled to relief from stay because the Debtors
have little to no equity in the NFR Contract and the NFR
Contract is not necessary to the Debtors' reorganization since
it will not leave the Debtors without access to natural gas.

Mr. Hill says that NFR is entitled to adequate performance of
payment.  Pursuant to Sections 361 and 363 of the Bankruptcy
Code, the Debtors can be compelled to make cash payments to NFR
if the automatic stay results in a diminution of value of NFR's
property.  The Bankruptcy Code also provides that NFR be
entitled to other relief as will result in NFR's realization of
the equivalent of its interest in the NFR Contract.  Similarly,
Sections 365 and 366 of the Bankruptcy Code provide for a debtor
to provide adequate protection or adequate assurance of future
payment to non-debtor parties to executory contracts and to
utility providers, Mr. Hill adds.

As adequate protection of NFR's interests in the NFR Contract,
unless and until the Contract is either assumed or rejected by
the Debtors, Mr. Hill asserts that:

  (a) NFR should be allowed to bill the Debtors twice a month:

  (b) the Debtors should be required to make due payments by
      wire transfer within nine business days of the receipt of
      any valid invoice under the NFR Contract; and

  (c) the Debtors should be required to provide NFR with a
      security deposit or letter of credit that adequately
      covers NFR's financial exposure under the NFR Contract.

In addition, if the Debtors fail to timely make a payment, NFR
should be allowed to terminate the NFR Contract without further
Court order.

Mr. Hill believes that the Debtors would not suffer significant
harm if the Court compelled them to decide whether to assume or
reject the NFR Contract.  Accordingly, NFR asks the Court to
enter an Order fixing a date no later than 20 days after its
request is approved as the deadline by which the Debtors must
file any necessary pleadings seeking to assume or reject the NFR
Contract, provided that NFR may, in its sole discretion and
without further approval or notice to the Court, agree to grant
the Debtors additional time to file those pleadings.

Mr. Hill says that if the Court determines that NFR is a
utility, then under Section 366 of the Bankruptcy Code, NFR
seeks adequate assurance of future payment in a form of a letter
of credit totaling US$300,000 covering two months usage of gas
supplies, and modification of billing and payment procedures to
reduce the length of time that NFR is financially exposed on
account of natural gas supplies that NFR has supplied to the
Debtors.

SPICEJET: Discloses Auditors' Report on Oct.-Dec. 2007 Results
--------------------------------------------------------------
Spicejet Ltd. has disclosed in a filing the Bombay Stock
Exchange the observation of its auditors after a limited review
report on the company's financial results for the quarter ended
Dec. 31, 2007.

The auditors recall that their audit report dated May 24, 2007,
on the company's financial statements for the period ended
March 31, 2007, was qualified in respect of certain disputed and
therefore, doubtful receivables and non-accrual of interest
on certain liabilities aggregating to INR 624.15 million.  Those
transactions originated in the years prior to 1996 and the
company has instituted legal proceedings to recover the amounts
and/or extinguish these liabilities, the auditors said.

According to the auditors, since the last audited financial
statement, the amount of doubtful receivables has reduced by
INR 333 million.  With the reduction in doubtful receivables and
addition to the un-accrued interest, the impact of the
qualifications as at December 31, 2007 stands at
INR306.43 million.  Had these adjustments been recorded in the
quarter ended Dec. 31, 2007, the reported profit after tax of
INR93.38 million would have been negatively impacted by
INR 306.43 million, the auditors pointed out.

The Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific previously reported
that SpiceJet reported a net profit of INR93.37 million in the
three months ended Dec. 31, 2007.

GOODYEAR TIRE: Fitch Upgrades Issuer Default Rating to BB-
----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company's
Issuer Default Rating and senior unsecured debt rating as:

  The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company:

    -- IDR to 'BB-' from 'B+';
    -- Senior unsecured debt to 'B+' from 'B-/RR6'.

In addition, Fitch has affirmed these ratings:

  The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company:

    -- US$1.5 billion first lien credit facility at 'BB+';
    -- US$1.2 billion second lien term loan at 'BB+'.

  Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe B.V.:

    -- EUR505 million European secured credit facilities at
       'BB+'.

The ratings cover approximately US$4.1 billion of outstanding
debt. The Rating Outlook is Stable.

Furthermore, Fitch is withdrawing its ratings for GT's third
lien senior secured debt following repayment of the debt.

The two-notch rating difference between GT's secured debt and
its IDR reflect the benefit of significant collateral support.
GT's first lien credit facility and the second lien term loan
are given the same rating due to Fitch's opinion that the
collateral package provides sufficient coverage to both
facilities even in the case of the first lien revolver being
fully drawn.  The one-notch difference between the unsecured
debt and the IDR reflects the unsecured debt's junior position
in the capital structure, as well as credit concerns described
below.

The rating upgrades reflect the positive impact on GT's balance
sheet from its continued debt reduction, significant cost
reduction in the past year, and a successful strategic shift to
selling more premium-priced products.  The senior unsecured debt
also benefits from the reduced amount of secured debt in the
capital structure after GT redeemed US$650 million of senior
secured third lien notes on March 3. Combined with the expected
repayment of US$100 million of 6 3/8% notes that mature on
March 17, 2008, GT will have reduced its debt by $3.2 billion
since the beginning of 2007.

The ratings and Stable Outlook for GT reflect an improving cost
structure, a more focused marketing strategy, growing
international sales, and a solid liquidity position.  GT has
exited low-margin segments of the wholesale private label tire
business and expanded its higher margin premium tire business.
Results in GT's North American operations, while improving,
remain weaker than its international operations, and GT remains
exposed to declining vehicle sales in the U.S. and an uncertain
economy.  An increasing proportion of sales outside the U.S.
should help alleviate this concern over the long term.  Other
rating concerns also include high raw material costs,
competitive pricing in certain international markets and cash
requirements for capital expenditures and pension contributions.
Further upside changes in the ratings or Outlook will depend on
GT's ability to extend its recent progress in addressing
operating challenges and in building stronger credit metrics.

Cash flow from operations continued to be weak in 2007 due to
large pension contributions and higher working capital
requirements as GT recovered from the labor strike in late 2007.
In 2008, cash flow will remain challenging but should be
favorably affected by reduced pension contributions, a better
working capital position, and lower interest expense related to
debt reduction.  Cost pressures from raw materials, including
rubber, which GT estimates may rise 7%-9% in 2008, could be
mitigated by GT's ongoing cost-reduction program.  At the end of
2007, GT had achieved more than half of its US$1.8 billion-US$2
billion four-year cost reduction goal.  The program involves
cost savings from higher productivity, a reduction in GT's
global footprint, and a further transition to low-cost sourcing.
GT has been effective at reducing the negative impact of high
raw material costs by raising prices and emphasizing higher-
margin premium tires.

At the end of 2007, GT had a liquidity position of approximately
US$4.9 billion, consisting of US$3.5 billion of cash and US$1.8
billion of credit facility availability, less US$396 million of
short-term debt and current maturities.  Year-end cash balances
were used to execute the debt reduction mentioned above, and
they will be utilized to fund the planned US$1 billion
contribution to GT's Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary
Association trust.  The transaction would significantly reduce
OPEB liabilities and associated cash requirements in future
years.  Other cash requirements in 2008 will include pension
contributions, though at a much lower level than previous years,
increased capital expenditures, and modest debt reduction.  GT's
debt-to-EBITDA ratio has declined from an unusually high level
one year ago and stood at 3 times as of Dec. 31, 2007.  The
company's long-term target for debt/EBITDA is 2.5x as measured
by its bank facilities and differs somewhat from Fitch's
calculation. EBITDA-to-Interest coverage improved to 3.4x at the
end of 2007 compared to 2.4x at the end of 2006.

All previously assigned Recovery Ratings have been withdrawn as
a result of the IDR upgrade to 'BB-'.  Fitch assigns explicit
RR's only for companies with an IDR of 'B+' or below.  Notching
for companies with IDR's above 'B+' continues to be heavily
influenced by broader historical recovery patterns.

                  About Perusahaan Listrik

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.

The Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific reported on
June 18, 2007, that Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed
its 'BB-' foreign currency rating and 'BB' local currency rating
on Indonesia's PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (Persero).  The
outlook is stable.  At the same time, Standard & Poor's assigned
its 'BB-' issue rating to the proposed senior unsecured notes to
be issued by PLN's wholly owned subsidiary, Majapahit Holding
B.V.

MEDICAL CORPORATION: JCR Affirms BB Rating with Stable Outlook
--------------------------------------------------------------
Japan Credit Rating Agency, Ltd., affirms its BB/Stable rating
on the senior debts of Medical Corporation Tokushinkai Group.

Tokushinkai Group is a dental group that is headquartered in
Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture.  While competition in dental
industry is intensifying nationwide due to the increasing number
of clinics and the decreasing number of patients, Tokushinkai
Group retains its strong capacity to pull in patients on the
strength of its attitudes towards pursuit of patient
satisfaction.  The recently opened clinics are beginning to turn
profitable increasingly in the Group's undertakings towards
improving services and efficiency such as strengthening staff
education and revision of treatment process.  The delay in
ensuring recruitment of dentists is now a primary reason for
slowdown of growth.  The Group's recruitment placing emphasis on
mid-career applicants is now also beginning to pay off.  JCR
thinks that the sufficiency level of the number of dentists will
begin to improve, taking into consideration the above.  Although
the interest-bearing debt has been increasing gradually, JCR
thinks that it is now easier for the Group to improve the
financials thanks to the increasing profit, taking into
consideration balance of future capital spending and interest-
bearing debt.  Strengthening the business administration,
educating top management and improving the financials remain
issues for the Group.

DAEWOO ELECTRONICS: Reaches One Million Production in 5 Years
-------------------------------------------------------------
Daewoo Electronics has reached a figure of one million on
production within 5 years since it has been introduced to market
in 2003.

  -- The hourly production has risen 4 times higher and 6 times
     higher on total number of annual production record
     comparing to the initial year.

  -- Vitamin-generated refrigerator and Black-mirror
     refrigerator have been introduced to market with innovative
     ideas.

Daewoo Electronics has reached a figure of one million on
production for side-by-side refrigerators since they have been
introduced to market 5 years ago.

Since Daewoo side-by-side refrigerator has been produced on
March 2003, it has hited 500,000 production record in 3 years
(2006).  Now it has reached one million records for production
on last 4th of February 2008.

During the first year, it started to produce 50,000 products.
Following after the product rate has increased by 50% in every
year.  In last year, it had a record of 320,000 which was 6
times higher number than 4 years ago.  This year finally it has
hit a record of one million.

There were few significant grounds that enabled them to keep up
such production rate and made it possible to attain the record
of one million.  The reasons are they have applied innovative
ideas on products, continuous monitoring on production
improvement and having global business marketing strategies.

In 2003, Daewoo Electronics has launched prime brand named
'Klasse' with Nano-silver technology applied products.
Additionally they introduced Vitamin-generated refrigerator
which has green tea filter system as well as Inter Cooler System
refrigerator which has additional internal cooling fan to
increase cooling system by 2.5 times than normal fridges.

Thereafter, Daewoo Electronics has introduced Black Mirror look
refrigerator as a first time on market.  It has brought huge
boom on home appliances in Europe and in Vietnam by attractive
black colored design.  In 2006, they have launched Arpeggio
style, which has upgraded electronics with two-tone colored
design.

To have better product and effective productivity, Daewoo has
been running a special program called LCA (Low Cost Automation),
which offered opportunities to workers to input their ideas into
products.  The current production numbers are135 units, which is
4 times higher product record and eventually has reduced the
cost price for material.

Now about 80 % of side-by-side fridges are exported to America,
Europe, Eastern Asians and Southeast Asian through our global
network system.  Daewoo Electronics also has been working with
world leading electronics firms.

A side-by-side refrigerator is occupies about 50% of total
number of fridge production. Daewoo Electronics has a plan to
increase the portion to 65% and aims to reach two-million
production record by 2010.

Mr. Sung, Lee, a Managing director of Home Appliance Div.,
stated it was only possible because we had world advanced
technology, competitive design, capacity to meet global business
needs.  He said Daewoo Electronics would continuously produce
top quality appliances with ongoing supports for global market
activity.

According to the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific, Daewoo
Electronics has been under a debt workout program since January
2000, months after its parent group -- the Daewoo Group --
collapsed under debts of nearly US$80 billion in 1999.

Daewoo Electronics Corp. posted a KRW94-billion loss in 2005
after sales declined 6.4%.  The net loss compares with the
KRW30-billion profit the company posted in 2004.  Sales fell to
KRW2.2 trillion from KRW2.3 trillion in 2004.

The TCR-AP reported on Nov. 14, 2005, that creditors of Daewoo

Amro, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Woori Bank were appointed to
find a buyer for the business.  In September 2006, the
consortium led by Videocon Industries submitted a bid for a
controlling stake in Daewoo.  As reported in the Troubled
Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on Nov. 28, 2007, Daewoo
Electronics is put up for sale a second time as the US$746-
million Videocon-Ripplewood bid fails.  Morgan Stanley's private
equity unit has emerged as the preferred bidder to acquire
Daewoo Electronics.


HYNIX SEMICON: To Invest US$260MM in China Venture This Year
------------------------------------------------------------
Hynix Semiconductor Inc. will invest an additional US$260
million in its joint venture in China this year to expand
capacity, Reuters reports.

According to the report, the venture, set up with
STMicroelectronics in Wuxi, China, is the only overseas chip
plant for Hynix.  It will be built with an initial investment of
US$2 billion, the report notes.

After the new spending, Hynix's ownership in the joint venture
will rise to 77.44%, Hynix said in its filing to the Korea
Exchange.

Yonhap News relates that the investment is aimed at increasing
production capacity at the joint plant.

                 About Hynix Semiconductor

Headquartered in Echon, South Korea, Hynix Semiconductor Inc.
-- http://www.hynix.com/-- is a semiconductor manufacturer.
Through a merger with LG Semiconductor in 1999, Hynix
Semiconductor now has the world's largest dynamic random access
memory chip production capacity as well as the industry's best
technical development capacity by fully exploiting synergies
resulting from the historical integration of both companies.

The company has operations in Russia, and the United States.

The Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific reported on
June 19, 2007, that Moody's Investors Service upgraded to Ba2
from Ba3 Hynix Semiconductor Inc's senior unsecured bond rating
and corporate family rating.

At the same time, Moody's assigned a Ba2 senior unsecured bond
rating for Hynix's proposed US$500 million issuance.  Moody's
said the outlook for the ratings is stable.


HYNIX SEMICON: In Talks with Promo on Technology Transfer
---------------------------------------------------------
Hynix Semiconductor Inc. has been negotiating with ProMOS
Technologies, a Taiwanese chipmaker, on the transfer of
technology to produce 54-nano DRAMs, various reports say.

According to English.Chosun News, Hynix had attempted to
transfer the lower-level 66-nano technology to ProMOS, but
relented amid an outcry over the technology drain.

Hynix, the report relates, is seeking to diversify its
production base, including making products on commission at
ProMOS, to cut costs and evade countervailing duties it has to
pay if it directly exports goods to the U.S. or Europe.

A Hynix executive was quoted by the news agency as saying, "When
the transfer of 66-nano technology was delayed, ProMOS wanted
54-nano technology.  So we've been holding talks over its
transfer.  The transfer is not technology drain but an export,"
he added.

Asia Pulse relates that a Hynix official confirmed the report,
however, stopped short of providing financial terms and other
specifics of the on-going talks.

Experts, English.Chosun News says, are worried that the transfer
could decisively reduce the competitiveness of Korea's
semiconductor technologies.

The Industrial Technology Drain Prevention Act stipulates that
80-nano or lesser semiconductor technologies are key
technologies that the country must protect, English.Chosun News
explains.

English.Chosun News notes that Hynix is expected to face a tough
time in consultations with the Ministry of Knowledge-based
Economy.

SINHAPUTHRA FINANCE: Fitch Cuts National LT Rating to BB-(lka)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings Lanka has downgraded the National Long-term rating
of Sinhaputhra Finance Limited to BB-(lka) from BB(lka).  The
Outlook is Negative.

The downgrade reflects the significantly weakened asset quality
and solvency at the regulatory six-month level.  The rating also
factors in the company's somewhat low capital position and the
substantial deterioration in profitability in the six-month
period ending September 2007 (H108).  The Negative Outlook is
indicative of the need for SFL to reverse the trend of weakening
collections and declining profitability.

Although loan growth was 28% in FY07 (marginally above the
sector growth rate of 26% at FYE07), the portfolio remained more
or less stagnant in the six-month period to H108 as the
company's primary focus was on recoveries.  Fitch notes that the
improved and robust management information systems, which would
be fully implemented by mid-2008, could aid this process.
Approximately half the loan portfolio consisted of leases for
the financing of second-hand commercial vehicles, where a
significant proportion is also secured by property mortgages.
The majority of the remainder of the portfolio is made up of
working capital loans, where, again, the bulk is pledged against
property mortgages.  The agency notes that such collateral
offers some comfort in the event of default.  SFL's clientele
consists of the small-and-medium-enterprise sector, and
geographical coverage is to a large extent limited to the
Central Province of Sri Lanka where it enjoys a degree of brand
franchise and recognition.

The adverse economic environment resulted in a deterioration in
SFL's asset quality at H108.  The gross NPL ratio (Fitch defines
NPLs as loans in arrears of over three months) was 33.6% at
H108, compared to 11.7% for the sector at FYE07, a function of
the company's less stringent credit monitoring and follow-up
procedures in the past. Repossessed vehicles accounted for 11%
of total NPLs at H108. Management has indicated that these
procedures have been revised since the last quarter of 2007.
Although SFL has already met the regulatory LKR200m minimum core
capital requirement, increased delinquencies coupled with SFL's
somewhat thin capital base culminated in solvency (net
NPL/equity) at the regulatory six-month level deteriorating to
63% at H108 from 35% at FYE07.  The company raised LKR17 million
via a preference share issue in mid-February 2008 but the agency
notes that further equity injections are likely to be required
to achieve any significant improvements to solvency.

SFL is a medium-sized registered finance company, which was
established in 1978 by Mr. Tissa Wijeyeratne.  The present
Chairman, Mr. Ravana Wijeyeratne, maintains a control holding of
52% of the company's equity.

Tuesday's edition of the TCR-AP delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-AP editors from a variety of outside
sources during the prior week we think are reliable.   Those
sources may not, however, be complete or accurate.  The Tuesday
Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to
publication.  Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual
trades.  Prices for actual trades are probably different.  Our
objective is to share information, not make markets in publicly
traded securities.  Nothing in the TCR-AP constitutes an offer
or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind.  It is
likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR-AP editor holds
some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities
about which we report.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Wednesday's edition of the TCR-AP. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com

Friday's edition of the TCR-AP features a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on the
latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication.  At first glance, this list may look like the
definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical
cost net of depreciation may understate the true value of a
firm's assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance
sheet for liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at
which equity securities trade in public market are determined by
more than a balance sheet solvency test.
