BABCOCK & BROWN: Creditors Vote to Wind Up Firm
-----------------------------------------------
Babcock & Brown Ltd creditors have voted to liquidate the assets
of the company, Alex Wilson at Dow Jones Newswires reports citing
liquidator Deloitte.

According to the report, Deloitte said the vote empowers it to
investigate matters surrounding the collapse of the group,
including potential conflicts of interest between the boards of
Babcock & Brown and affiliated company Babcock & Brown
International Pty. Ltd. which held most of the group's assets.

Dow Jones relates that other issues the liquidator is seeking to
examine are:

   -- the possibility of inadequate disclosure regarding public
      offer documents;

   -- a review of the company's risk management processes;

   -- a review of the solvency of the group at various
      points; and

   -- the timing of the impairment of assets.

"In particular, we are interested to further investigate a key
question: At what stage did the BBL directors have regard to the
interests of the noteholders and creditors in making their
decisions about the conduct of the group's business?" Deloitte
liquidator David Lombe was quoted by Dow Jones as saying in a
statement.

The Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific reported on Aug. 19,
2009, that Deloitte asked creditors and noteholders to tip in
AU$400 each of their own money to fund public examinations and
further investigations into the affairs of Babcock & Brown.

As reported in the TCR-AP on Aug. 17, 2009, the voluntary
administrators of Babcock & Brown Ltd. have recommended the
company be placed in liquidation.  David Lombe of Deloitte said
liquidation was the only option because no deed of company
arrangement had been proposed.

                       About Babcock & Brown

Headquartered in Sydney, Australia, Babcock & Brown Limited
(ASX:BNB) -- http://www.babcockbrown.com/-- is a global
alternative asset manager specializing in the origination and

focused investment vehicles in areas, including real estate,
renewable energy and infrastructure.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
March 13, 2009, Babcock & Brown appointed voluntary administrators
after investors in the company's subordinated notes listed in New
Zealand voted on March 13 against a special resolution to
restructure the terms of the notes.  Under the special resolution,
the company's equity and subordinated note holders won't receive
any return.  Babcock & Brown appointed David Lombe and Simon
Cathro of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as Voluntary Administrators.

Babcock & Brown International Pty Ltd. is the holding company of
Babcock & Brown Limited.


BRADKEN INC: Moody's Downgrades Corporate Family Rating to 'B3'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service lowered Atchison, Kansas based Bradken,
Inc. (formerly known as AmeriCast Technologies, Inc.)'s Corporate
Family Rating to B3 from B2, and rating on the senior unsecured
notes due 2014 to Caa1 from B3.  The rating outlook is negative.

The downgrade reflects Moody's expectation that Bradken's
operating and credit metrics will deteriorate significantly in the
next 6-12 months, driven by substantially weakened demand from
most of its end markets.  Bradken reported a 16% revenue decline
during its third quarter (March 2009), compared to the prior year
period, and thinning order backlog.  Moody's notes that the
decline in demand for Bradken's heavy steel casting products
accelerated in the recent past and expects the demand to sustain
at a depressed level throughout the intermediate term despite some
early signs of stabilization in the global economy.

"The recovery in demand of its products generally lags a full
recovery of general economy by 6-9 months based on historical
experience," commented Moody's analyst John Zhao.  In particular,
Moody's expects some end markets, such as locomotive, construction
and mining, would likely be the most challenged.  Its energy
segment which mainly serves the oil and gas industry, would also
face significant downward topline pressure due to anticipated low
activity in exploration and production.  While the company has
taken significant steps to reduce operating expenses such as
headcount reduction, Moody's believe that Bradken's small size and
potential sudden disruption of revenue steam due to its
significant customer concentration (most pronounced in the
construction & mining, and locomotive end markets) may constrain
its ability to adapt to deteriorating market conditions.
Consequently, Moody's expects that credit metrics, such as
operating income and cash flow, will deteriorate significantly.

The B3 rating positively considers Bradken's leading position in
the niche large steel casting market, high barrier to entry due to
size and complexity of main products and high start-up cost, and
its long-term, sole-source based relationship with its major
customers.  The rating also recognizes the company's relatively
modest leverage and adequate interest coverage in part due to
voluntary debt reduction completed in the past year.  The B3
rating however, is constrained by its small scale, heavy exposure
to cyclical end market, acquisitive nature and significant
customer concentration.

The negative outlook reflects the pace and magnitude of the recent
deteriorating trend in revenues and Moody's concern on the timing
of the potential recovery in demand.  The outlook also depicts the
company's weakening (though still adequate) liquidity position,
reflective of the lower free cash flow generation as well as the
eroding cushion above the US$8 million excess borrowing
availability threshold under its asset-based revolving credit
facility (not rated by Moody's) in the next twelve months.
Moody's cautions that the company's ability to remain in
compliance with the covenant will become uncertain if a fixed
charge springing covenant would be triggered when the revolver
availability fell below the threshold.  The rating could be
further downgraded if the combined liquidity (cash + available
revolver) drops below US$20 million on a sustained basis.

The rating action is:

   * Corporate Family Rating -- downgraded to B3 from B2

   * Probability of Default rating -- downgraded to B3 from B2

   * US$105 million (US$69 million outstanding) of senior
     unsecured notes due 2014 -- downgraded to Caa1 (LGD5, 78%)
     from B3 (LGD4, 62%)

   * Rating outlook -- revised to negative from stable

The last rating action on Bradken occurred on November 8, 2006
when the first time rating was assigned at B2 CFR.

Bradken, Inc., headquartered in Atchison, Kansas, is a designer
and manufacturer of large, highly engineered steel and iron
castings.  Products include locomotive and transit trucks, mining
truck frames, axle housings, valve bodies, compressor housings,
pumps, Navy ship cast components, power generation turbine steel
castings, and offshore platform structural parts.  The company is
wholly owned by Bradken Limited, an Australia based engineering
company.


CARLOVERS CARWASH: Court Bans Ariff as Liquidator, Administrator
----------------------------------------------------------------
A Supreme Court judge has banned liquidator and administrator
Stuart Ariff from practicing in the profession for
misappropriation of AU$5 million of funds, including charging
creditors of the CarLovers Carwash group for his personal holiday
expenses, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.

The report says Mr. Ariff admitted he deserved to be banned
from the profession for life after he improperly charged or
misappropriated AU$5 million from 16 of his clients.

The Herald relates that Mr. Ariff, who operated in Sydney and
Newcastle, admitted he had unreasonably charged the creditors of
the CarLovers Carwash group AU$180,000 in overseas travel expenses
between 2003 and 2007, including a stay in a luxury resort in
Malaysia.

Mr. Ariff also charged CarLovers for AU$208,000 in consultancy
fees, paid to his father, whose only professional skill is his
career as a former Malaysian diplomat, the report says.

NSW Supreme Court Justice Patricia Bergin, says the Herald,
described Mr. Ariff's behaviour as "quite appalling"  The report
relates Ms. Bergin said Mr. Ariff had only "partially" seen "the
error of his ways" and had still not fully recognized the
seriousness of his misappropriation of funds and his actions in
charging creditors for his personal holiday expenses.

The administration of CarLovers was one of Mr. Ariff's first
appointments as a sole practitioner in 2003, the Herald notes.

CarLovers Carwash operates a chain of 25 self-serve and automatic
carwashes in Australia.


ENVIRONINVEST: Prescott's Daughter Asked on AU$7.6MM Property Sale
------------------------------------------------------------------
Lawyers for the liquidator of Environinvest Ltd have examined the
daughter of a former director of the company, Roger Pescott, about
her purchase of a multimillion-dollar property that held blue gum
plantations linked to Environinvest's MIS schemes, The Age
reports.

The report relates that Miffany Blythe appeared in the Supreme
Court under oath on Friday, August 21.  Her father, a former
Kennett government minister and long-serving Environinvest
director, was due to give evidence on Thursday, August 20 but was
granted an adjournment until October, the Age says.

According to The Age, last week's examination focused on the 2007
sale of Eurambeen, a property west of Ballarat, who was partly
leased to companies linked to Environinvest at that time.

The Age relates Ms. Blythe told the court that she and her husband
bought Eurambeen from Blackburne, a company of which Mr. Prescott
was the sole director, in October 2007.  The Blythes, according to
the report, bought the property through a trust company called
Arnac, paying AU$7.6 million and taking on capital gains tax
liability for the property.

When asked if she was aware that Blackburne had sold Eurambeen to
Environinvest in 2000, Ms. Blythe told Jonathan Evans, counsel for
Environinvest's liquidator Jim Downey, she wasn't aware.

The report says the court was told that by July 2008,
Environinvest's subsidiaries had stopped paying rent on Eurambeen
and Mr. and Ms. Blythe terminated the leases in late August.
Environinvest, the Age notes, entered administration less than a
month later.

The examination was adjourned until October, the report notes.

FAIRFAX MEDIA: Posts AU$380 Million Net Loss in Year Ended June 30
------------------------------------------------------------------
Sarah McDonald at Bloomberg News reports that Fairfax Media Ltd.,
posted a second-half loss after a decline in advertising revenue
forced it to write down the value of its mastheads.

Citing Fairfax spokesman Frank Sufferini, Bloomberg says the
company posted a net loss after impairments, significant items and
tax of AU$14.7 million (US$12.3 million) in the six months ended
in June, compared with a profit of AU$190.9 million a year
earlier.  For the full year, Bloomberg notes, the publisher of the
Sydney Morning Herald and the Australian Financial Review reported
a loss of AU$380 million on AU$2.6 billion sales.

"Trading results for the first seven weeks of the new financial
year indicate that the decline in advertising revenues appears to
have bottomed but a material recovery in advertising demand has
not yet commenced," Bloomberg cited Fairfax in a statement.

According to Bloomberg, Fairfax said its full-year result included
AU$664.3 million of one-- off impairments and significant items.
Of that figure, AU$513 million related to a reduction in the
carrying value of mastheads and goodwill.

Underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization of AU$605 million for the full year were slightly
above market consensus, Bloomberg relates.

Bloomberg says the company won't pay a final dividend.

                      Credit Ratings Downgrade

The Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific reported on May 18,
2009, that Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its
long-term corporate credit and debt ratings on Fairfax Media Ltd.
to 'BB+' from 'BBB-'.  In addition, the rating on Fairfax's
stapled preference securities (which attract intermediate equity
credit from Standard & Poor's) was lowered to 'B+' from 'BB'.  The
outlook is stable.

"Although we are disappointed with the decision of Standard &
Poor's we are confident that our diversified market positions,
strong balance sheet and operational focus will allow us to
weather the current economic conditions and to take advantage of
any upturn when it occurs," Brian McCarthy, Chief Executive
Officer and Managing Director of Fairfax Media Limited said in a
statement.  "The company remains comfortably within its various
financial covenants."

Fairfax Media, however, said that due to this change in credit
rating, some margins under certain financing facilities are
increased with a consequential increase in net interest expense in
the 2010 financial year of approximately AU$10 million.

SUNCORP METWAY: Full-Year Profit Falls 40%
------------------------------------------
Suncorp-Metway Ltd. reported a net profit after tax of AU$348
million for the full year to June 30, 2009, down 40% from AU$583
million in the previous year.  The Group's full year profit before
tax and Promina acquisition items was AU$799 million.

"The group expects economic conditions to remain volatile for some
time as investment markets look for signs of economic recovery,"
Suncorp said in a statement.

Suncorp Chairman John Story said it had been a challenging year
for Suncorp.

"The 2009 financial year coincided with the most volatile period
in Australian financial services history and, although underlying
performance remained solid, each of our businesses was impacted by
unfavorable operating environments," Mr. Story said in a statement
today.

Mr. Story also confirmed that, in line with previous guidance,
Suncorp would pay a final ordinary dividend of 20 cents per share
fully franked, taking the full year ordinary dividend to 40 cents
per share fully franked.

Acting chief executive Chris Skilton said Suncorp had
significantly adapted its business model over the course of the
financial year in response to market challenges and to ensure the
Group's long-term viability.

"The Bank and Suncorp Life both completed comprehensive strategic
reviews designed to achieve sustainable, low risk business models.
The general insurer drove cost efficiencies through integration
and de-risked its investment portfolios and significant
enhancements were made to the Group's risk frameworks and capital
position," Mr. Skilton said.

"These were necessary, though difficult decisions, which have had
some short-term impact on the full year result.  They were,
however, decisions that were made with the longer term interests
of the Group and shareholders in mind."

Mr. Story said that, irrespective of the effect of external
factors, the Board and management were conscious the result would
be disappointing for shareholders.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Feb. 11, 2009, Fitch Ratings affirmed and removed from Rating
Watch Evolving Suncorp-Metway Limited's and Suncorp Metway
Insurance Limited's ratings.

These rating actions have been taken:

     -- Individual rating: affirmed at 'B', removed from RWE

     -- Support Rating Floor affirmed at 'BB+'; removed from RWE

At the same time, Fitch placed Suncorp's 'A+' Long- term Issuer

Strength Rating on Stable Outlook.  The actions follow Suncorp's
announcement that there has been a significant increase in bad
debts, which will affect H109 profits.  With signs that the
Queensland and Australian economies are facing significant
challenges, risks to asset quality are clearly on the downside.


* AUSTRALIA: Government Gives ASIC Power to Supervise Markets
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Treasurer, Wayne Swan MP and the Minister for Financial
Services, Superannuation and Corporate Law, Chris Bowen MP,
announced Monday changes to the supervision of Australia's
financial markets that will enhance the integrity of Australia's
financial markets and take another step towards establishing
Australia as a financial services hub in the region.

The Government said it has decided to provide for the Australian
Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) to perform
supervision of real-time trading on all of Australia's domestic
licensed markets.  This change will mean that ASIC will now be
responsible for both supervision and enforcement of the laws
against misconduct on Australia's financial markets.

"Australia's financial system has performed better than any other
during the global recession and these reforms will ensure that
Australia's regulatory arrangements remain among the best in the
world," Mr. Swan said in a statement.

"As part of the Government's drive to improve regulation of the
financial industry, the Government has decided to transfer
supervisory responsibility for Australia's financial markets
to ASIC as it is more appropriate for an agency of the Government
to perform this important function," Mr. Bowen said.

The present arrangements require individual financial markets to
self-supervise trading on their individual markets.  This reform
is in line with the move towards centralized or independent
regulation in other leading jurisdictions.

"Having one whole-of-market supervisor will consolidate the
current individual supervisory responsibilities into one entity,
streamlining supervision and enforcement, and providing complete
supervision of trading on the market," Mr. Bowen said.

"Moving to whole-of-market supervision is also the first step in
the process towards considering competition between market
operators."

The changes will mean that ASIC will become responsible for
supervising trading activities by broker participants which take
place on a licensed financial market, while individual markets --
such as the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) -- will retain
responsibility for supervising the entities listed on them.

"The supervision of listed entities raises a different set of
issues. The Government is comfortable that there is no need for
the Government to supervise listed entities.  ASIC and the ASX are
working well together in performing this role," Mr. Bowen said.

It is intended that legislation will be introduced into Parliament
next year to give effect to this change, with ASIC to begin
performing these functions in the third quarter of 2010.

CHINA MINSHENG: H1 Net Profit Up 22.07% to CNY7.37 Billion
----------------------------------------------------------
China Minsheng Bank Banking Corp Ltd said on Wednesday that its
net profit in the first half of the year surged 22.07% from a year
earlier to CNY7.37 billion (US$1.08 billion), Reuters reports.
For the six months ended June 30, the bank reported revenue of
CNY21.25, up 20.24% from a year ago.

Reuters, citing Minsheng in a statement to Shanghai Stock
Exchange, says the sale of the bank's entire holdings in Haitong
Securities Co., as well as successful investment in bonds, helped
contribute to the fast growth in profit.

Minsheng's non-performing loans at the end of June fell 1.51%
from the end of 2008 to CNY7.80 billion, Reuters notes.  Its non-
performing loan ratio stood at 0.86%, compared with 1.2% at the
end of 2008.

Based in Beijing, China, China Minsheng Banking Corporation Ltd.'s
mainly provides commercial banking services that include absorbing
public deposits, providing short term, medium term, and long term

GENERAL MOTORS: Close to Signing Deal to Sell Hummer to Chinese
---------------------------------------------------------------
General Motors Co. may sign an agreement for the sale of the
Hummer sport-utility vehicle business to a Chinese machinery maker
this week, Bloomberg News reported, citing two people familiar
with negotiations.  Executives from prospective buyer Sichuan
Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Co. based in Chengdu, China,
are expected to arrive in Detroit early this week for more
negotiations with GM, said the people, who asked not to be named
because the talks aren't public.  An agreement could be signed and
announced during the trip, one of the people said.  The sale
requires U.S. and Chinese regulatory approval.

According to Bloomberg, GM Chief Executive Officer Fritz Henderson
is working to dispose of half of the automaker's U.S. brands so
the carmaker can focus on the four that remain.  The Company is
eliminating the Pontiac brand, and deals are pending to sell its
Saab brand to Swedish sports car maker Koenigsegg Automotive AB
and Saturn to Penske Automotive Group Inc.

JET AIRWAYS: HSBC Cuts Rating to Underweight on Rising Fuel Cost
----------------------------------------------------------------
HSBC has downgraded the rating of Jet Airways (India) Ltd to
'Underweight' from 'Neutral', The Economic Times reports.

The ET relates that the GDP-based forecasting model suggests
domestic passenger decline has bottomed out and recovery from
H2FY10, in line with the economic recovery.

However, the report notes, price elasticity of demand and
downtrading are likely to continue, resulting in premium traffic
and yields rebounding with a lag, not before FY11.  Rising fuel
cost, a key cost component -- up 50% since Q4FY09 -- is a real
threat to profitability and could reverse the operational
improvement seen in the last few quarters, the ET notes.
According to the ET, HSBC also expects its debt overhang to
continue, with net debt to equity at 7x in FY09.

The report says HSBC downgrades the sales estimates for FY10E and
FY11E by 32% each to INR12,500 crore and INR14,600 crore
respectively.  The target price of INR218 is derived using a 1.5x
2010E EV/Sales.

SATYAM COMPUTER: CBI May File New Chargesheet Against Stock Broker
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Central Bureau of Investigation may soon file another
chargesheet in the case involving Satyam Computer Services
accounting scam, The Times of India reports.

According to the report, sources in the agency said the role of a
leading stock broker in management of funds of the firm has
surfaced during the probe, which necessitates further
investigation.

The sources, however, refused to reveal the name of the stock
broker, but said that several CBI cases are being persuaded
against him, the Times relates.

The agency has also sought permission to investigate the overseas
fundings of the company, the report says.

The Times of India, meanwhile, reports that a team of the US
capital market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission,
which came to India to collect documents for carrying out
investigations into the Satyam fraud case in America has completed
its exercise.

                         Fraud Revelation

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific, on
January 7, 2009, former Satyam Chairman Ramalinga Raju resigned
after saying he manipulated the company's accounts.  Specifically,
Mr. Raju said that as of September 30, 2008, the company's balance
sheet carries:

  (1) inflated (non existent) cash and bank
      balances of 50.40 billion rupees (US$1.04 billion)
      (as against 53.61 billion reflected in the books);

  (2) an accrued interest of 3.76 billion rupees which
      is non existent;

  (3) an understated liability of 12.30 billion rupees
      on account of funds arranged by Mr. Raju; and

  (4) an overstated debtors position of
      4.90 billion rupees (as against 26.51 billion
      reflected in the books).

Mr. Raju's confession prompted investigations into the company by
different entities including Andhra Pradesh state police, the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Securities and Exchange
Board of India.  Several groups also considered filing class
action suits against the company.

A three-member board was subsequently created by the government
which appointed KPMG and Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu for re-
evaluation of the software company's books.

Mr. Raju was later found to have invented more than one quarter
of Satyam's workforce and used fictitious names to siphon INR200
million (US$4.1 million) a month out of the company.

The TCR-AP reported on March 9, 2009, that Satyam won approval to
sell stake in itself, as the company seeks to restore investor
confidence and stem client defections.

Satyam said it received approval from the Securities and Exchange
Board of India to facilitate a global competitive bidding process
which, subject to receipt of all approvals, contemplates the
selection of an investor to acquire a 51% interest in the company.

On April 14, 2009, the TCR-AP reported that Tech Mahindra Limited
emerged as the top bidder with an offer of INR58 a share for a 31
per cent stake in Satyam Computer Services Limited, beating strong
rival L&T.  Tech Mahindra would acquire the stake in an all-cash
deal, followed by an open offer for a 20 percent stake to take
management control of the company.

On June 21, 2009, Satyam unveiled its new brand identity,
"Mahindra Satyam."

SHIV PUJA: CRISIL Assigns 'BB-' Rating on INR800 Million Term Loan
------------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its ratings of 'BB-/Stable/P4' to the bank
facilities of Shiv Puja Construction Pvt Ltd.

   Facilities                     Ratings
   ----------                     -------
   INR800 Million Term Loan       BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR70 Million Bank Guarantee   P4 (Assigned)

The ratings reflect the company's exposure to risks associated
with the pre-construction phase of the Sirohi-Mandar-Deesa road
project, which is the first project of such large size to be
executed by the partner companies; and exposure to revenue risks
associated with toll collections.  These rating weaknesses are
partially offset by the experience of the partner companies in
relatively smaller size road construction, build-operate-transfer
(BOT) projects, and tolling operations.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL expects SPCPL to complete work on the Sirohi-Mandar-Deesa
stretch of Rajasthan State Highway (SH)-27 within the budgeted
time, given the low technical complexity of the project work.  The
outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if SPCPL completes the
project ahead of schedule, and demonstrates proportionate
collections from tolling operations.   The outlook may also have a
positive bias if the company repays the term loan raised to fund
the project before schedule because of higher-than-expected toll
collections.  Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative'
if the company faces time and cost overruns on the project,
leading to stressed financial capacity of the project to meet its
term debt obligations, and/or withdrawal of support extended by
the promoters in the form of unsecured loans.

                           About Shiv Puja

Shiv Puja Construction Pvt Ltd. was promoted in 2007 by PRL
Projects & Infrastructure Ltd and Shiva Corporation India Ltd as a
50:50-joint-venture for bidding for BOT projects.  It was selected
by the Public Works Department (PWD) of Rajasthan for
strengthening, widening, and improving the 71.4-kilometre Sirohi-
to-Deesa stretch on SH-27 on a BOT basis.  The project was awarded
to SPCPL in July 2008, after the company submitted a suo moto
proposal to PWD, Rajasthan.  The construction of the project
started in December 2008.  The total cost of the project is
estimated at INR1338 million, to be funded through debt of INR800
million and promoters' contribution for the balance amount.  The
road, after completion, will have three tolling points at Km-24,
Km-4 7, and Km-71.4.


SHIV SAI: CRISIL Reaffirms 'BB' Rating on INR88 Mln Term Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's ratings on the bank facilities of Shiv Sai Steel
Industries , part of the Sanyeeji group, continue to be
constrained by the inherent cyclicality in the steel business, the
group's stretched liquidity leading to delay in the repayment of
debt obligations in group company and its unstable operations
because of recently expanded capacities.  These weaknesses are
mitigated by the increasing integration in the group's operations,
leading to a moderate market position.

   Facilities                      Ratings
   ----------                      -------
   INR80 Million Cash Credit       BB/Stable (Reaffirmed)
   INR88 Million Term Loan         BB/Stable (Reaffirmed)
   INR20 Million Letter of Credit  P4 (Reaffirmed)

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of Shree Sanyeeji Ispat Ltd, M/s Shiv Sai
Steel Industries, and Shree Sanyeeji Steel & Power Ltd, together
referred to, herein, as the Sanyeeji group.  This is because the
billets produced by Shiv Sai are used by Sanyeeji Ispat for making
thermo mechanically-treated (TMT) bars, and Sanyeeji Ispat has
guaranteed the loans of Sanyeeji Steel.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL expects the Sanyeeji group's revenue to increase over the
medium term, backed by stabilisation of capacities.  The outlook
may be revised to 'Positive' if the group's profitability improves
substantially, and if it establishes a track record of timely debt
repayment.  Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative'
if the group undertakes substantial debt-funded capital
expenditure, or if its profitability reduces further.

                          About the Group

Sanyeeji Ispat, Shiv Sai, and Sanyeeji Steel are part of the
Guwahati, Assam-based Sanyeeji group, founded by Mr. Jai Prakash
Jaiswal.  In 1991, he established Sanyeeji Ispat, a 3000-tonnes

established in 1996, which was converted into a TMT bar-cum-coil
rolling mill in 1998.  In 2000, a third rolling mill with a
72,000-tpa capacity was set up for TMT rods.  For backward
integration, a billet manufacturing unit with a capacity of 70,000
tpa was set up in 2006 in the name of Shiv Sai, a partnership
firm. A third integrated steel project was started under the name

currently has three induction furnaces with concast mills for
producing billets (present installed capacity of 148,500 tpa).
The group has a combined capacity to manufacture 72,000 tpa of TMT
rods, and 218,000 tpa of billets.

For the year ended March 31, 2009, the Sanyeeji group posted
provisional net sales of INR2185 million and profit after tax of

respectively, in 2007-08.

medium term, backed by stabilisation of capacities.  The outlook
may be revised to 'Positive' if the group's profitability improves
substantially, and if it establishes a track record of timely debt
repayment.  Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative'
if the group undertakes substantial debt-funded capital
expenditure, or if its profitability reduces further.

                           About the Group

Sanyeeji Ispat, Shiv Sai, and Sanyeeji Steel are part of the
Guwahati, Assam-based Sanyeeji group, founded by Mr. Jai Prakash
Jaiswal.  In 1991, he established Sanyeeji Ispat, a 3000-tonnes
per annum (tpa) scrap-based rolling mill, in Guwahati.  A second
ingot-based rolling mill with a capacity of 18,000 tpa was
established in 1996, which was converted into a TMT bar-cum-coil
rolling mill in 1998.  In 2000, a third rolling mill with a
72,000-tpa capacity was set up for TMT rods.  For backward
integration, a billet manufacturing unit with a capacity of 70,000
tpa was set up in 2006 in the name of Shiv Sai, a partnership
firm.  A third integrated steel project was started under the name
of Sanyeeji Steel in 2007 in Bankura, West Bengal.  This unit
currently has three induction furnaces with concast mills for
producing billets (present installed capacity of 148,500 tpa).
The group has a combined capacity to manufacture 72,000 tpa of TMT
rods, and 218,000 tpa of billets.

For the year ended March 31, 2009, the Sanyeeji group posted
provisional net sales of INR2185 million and profit after tax of
INR143 million, as against INR1486 million and INR112 million,
respectively, in 2007-08.


SHRI PARIYUR: Fitch Assigns National Long-Term Rating at 'B-'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned India's Shri Pariyur Amman Kraft Papers
Private Limited a National Long-term rating of 'B-(ind)' with a
Stable Outlook.  The agency has also assigned these ratings to
SPAK's proposed bank loans:

  -- term loan amounting to INR47.5 million: 'B-(ind)'

SPAK's ratings incorporate the relatively larger scale of its
proposed venture of setting up a kraft paper manufacturing unit,
compared to that of its promoters' current business in corrugated
packaging and paper cones manufacturing.  The ratings also
consider the significant project execution risk that exists, and
the management's new challenge of managing the commodity nature of
this business.

Fitch notes that the project is a backward integration of the
existing related businesses of the promoters which, along with the
promoters' existing relations with other corrugators and dealers
in the industry, could potentially mitigate some of the demand
risks associated with the project.  Moreover, the project is
located in SIPCOT Industrial Complex, Perundurai, Tamil Nadu with
easy access to Erode, Tirupur and Coimbatore, which are potential
markets.  In addition, all the machinery proposed for the project
is new, and water arrangements are in place.  Power is to be
supplied by TNEB, and the company expects to source its raw
material requirements from local and imported suppliers in Tamil
Nadu.  The promoters have already contributed their proposed share
of the project cost and the bank sanction for the term loan is to
be obtained.  Fitch estimates the DSCR post completion of the
project to be above 1.0x.

The ratings could move upwards if there is successful financial
closure for the project.  Conversely, negative triggers to the
ratings could come from considerable cost overruns incurred and/or
time overruns while executing the project, which in turn would
impact the debt service coverage.

SPAK is a private limited company incorporated on 12 Oct 2007 by
nine directors.  Most of the directors are already involved in
running corrugated packaging and paper cones manufacturing firms
in and around Gobichettipalayam, Tamil Nadu.  SPAK is setting up a
kraft paper manufacturing unit of initial planned production
capacity of 40 TPD in SIPCOT (State Industries Promotion
Corporation of Tamil Nadu Limited) Industrial Complex, Perundurai
at a total cost of INR100.5 million, funded by around 41% through
promoter funds and rest by bank finance.


VISHESH INFRASTRUCTURE: CRISIL Rates INR130 Mln Term Loan at 'BB'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its ratings of 'BB/Stable/P4' to the bank
facilities of Vishesh Infrastructure Pvt Ltd.

   Facilities                       Ratings
   ----------                       -------
   INR130 Million Term Loan         BB/Stable (Assigned)
   INR54.1 Million Bank Guarantee   P4 (Assigned)

The ratings reflect VIPL's weak financial risk profile, marked by
low net worth and moderate debt coverage indicators, and limited
project diversity.  These weaknesses are, however, partially
offset by VIPL's reasonably strong business risk profile,
supported by successful completion of Delhi-Ramgarh-Alwar Road
project.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL expects Vishesh Infrastructure Private Limited (VIPL) to
maintain its credit profile over the medium term on account of
established track record of toll collection on Delhi-Ramgarh-Alwar
road stretch.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if toll
collections on the road stretch exceed the estimates leading to
better than expected cash accruals.  Conversely, the outlook may
be revised to 'Negative' if there is a drop in toll collection on
the road stretch or the company takes up any another debt funded
project resulting in deterioration of capital structure.

                   About Vishesh Infrastructure

Vishesh Infrastructure Pvt Ltd. was formed in 2006 by Mr. Vijay
Garg to undertake a build-operate-transfer (BOT) road project to
widen and strengthen the Delhi-Ramgarh-Alwar Road. The toll road
has been constructed successfully, and toll collection began on
20th April, 2008 (Ahead of the scheduled date of 19th August,
2008). VIPL had toll revenues of INR38 million in 2008-09.


YAMUNA ROLLER: Low Net Worth Cues CRISIL to Assign 'BB-' Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its ratings of 'BB-/Stable' to the bank
facilities of Yamuna Roller Mills Pvt Ltd.

   Facilities                     Ratings
   ----------                     -------
   INR150 Million Cash Credit *   BB-/Stable (Assigned)

   * Includes interchangeable non-fund Letter of Credit limit
     of INR75.00 Million.

The ratings reflect Yamuna's weak financial risk profile marked by
low net worth and weak debt protection measures, its small scale
of operations, and exposure to risks relating to fluctuations in
the prices of raw materials. These weaknesses are partially offset
by the benefits that Yamuna derives from its promoters' experience
and its established distribution network.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Yamuna's financial risk profile will remain
weak over the medium term.  The outlook may be revised to
'Positive' in case of substantial improvement in the company's
financial risk profile.  Conversely, the outlook may be revised to
'Negative' in case the company undertakes large, debt-funded
capital expenditure.

                        About Yamuna Roller

Set up in 1990, Yamuna is engaged in the manufacture of grinded
wheat products such as atta, maida, and suji.  The company has a
manufacturing plant at Thrissur, Kerala, with a processing
capacity of 60,000 tonnes per annum.  The company is also involved
in trading of agricultural commodities such as wheat and white
oats.  Yamuna reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR11.0 million
on net sales of INR1070.4 million for the year ended March 31,
2009, as against a PAT of INR5.3 million on net sales of INR1065.7
million for 2007-08.

CUBIC ONE: S&P Affirms Ratings on Two Secured Securities
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its ratings on the
class B and C limited recourse secured floating-rate credit-linked
securities issued under CuBic One Ltd.'s global corporate
synthetic CLO notes series 2007-1 transaction and removed the
ratings from CreditWatch with negative implications, where they
had been placed on April 21, 2009.  At the same time, Standard &
Poor's affirmed its ratings on the class A and D notes issued
under the same transaction.  CuBic One is a special-purpose
company incorporated in the Cayman Islands.

On April 21, 2009, Standard & Poor's placed on CreditWatch with
negative implications its ratings on the class A to D notes.
Following the CreditWatch placements, on May 22, 2009, Standard &
Poor's lowered its rating on class B by one notch and kept the
ratings on the class B and C notes on CreditWatch with negative
implications.  The rating actions on classes B and C were based
on S&P's view that the creditworthiness of some of the entities in
the reference pool had deteriorated.  At the same time, Standard &
Poor's affirmed its ratings on classes A and D and removed the
ratings from CreditWatch with negative implications.

Since May 22, 2009, some of the reference obligations have
matured, and the credit quality of some reference obligations in
the pool has changed.  Given these factors, in S&P's opinion,
there is sufficient credit support to maintain the ratings on
classes A to D, and therefore, S&P affirmed the ratings on the
four classes and resolved the CreditWatch listings on the ratings
on classes B and C.

S&P assigned its ratings to CuBic One's corporate synthetic CLO
notes based on S&P's current criteria for rating corporate
synthetic CLOs.  As previously announced, however, the criteria
are under review.  As highlighted in the aforementioned article,
S&P solicited feedback from market participants regarding proposed
changes to S&P's CLO criteria.  S&P continues to evaluate the
feedback S&P received during the period of S&P's request for
comment and S&P will establish final criteria revisions when the
evaluation is completed.  As a result of this review, it is
possible that S&P's future CLO criteria may impact the ratings on
CuBic One's CLO notes.

ST LAURENCE: Receivership Threat Won't Spill Over to SLPF Unit
--------------------------------------------------------------
The New Zealand Herald reports that St Laurence Ltd director Kevin
Podmore said that the threat of receivership hanging over the
company probably won't spill over to St Laurence Property &
Finance Ltd.

The report says Mr. Podmore is in talks with the trustee for St
Laurence Ltd., Perpetual Trust, to try to stave off receivership
amid concern the company won't be able to meet the terms of its
moratorium.

"We're very hopeful St Laurence (Ltd) won't be put in receivership
and are having discussions with the trustee," Mr. Podmore told a
meeting of St Laurence property & Finance investors in Wellington
last week.

According to the report, St Laurence Ltd, which owns about 35% of
St. Laurence Property & Finance and manages its property portfolio
through another entity, St Laurence Funds Management Ltd., is
stoking concern that St. Laurence Property & Finance could be
"tainted" by the financial woes of its associates.

Mr. Podmore, as cited by the Herald, said even if St Laurence Ltd
fell into receivership, it wouldn't be in the receiver's best
interests to drag St. Laurence Property & Finance down with it.

The Herald states that the property developer will be re-branded
to reduce confusion about the various related St Laurence entities
and ensure St Laurence Property & Finance wasn't unfairly tarred
with the same brush.

Mr. Podmore said St Laurence Property & Finance will take a more
aggressive approach in selling non-performing buildings.  The
management was identifying development opportunities to add value
to the portfolio to lift rental income, Mr. Podmore added.

                       About St Laurence Ltd

Headquartered in Wellington, New Zealand, St Laurence Limited
-- http://www.stlaurence.co.nz/st_laurence.php-- is a property-
based funds management and finance company with over NZ$1.2
billion in assets under management.  Since 1995 it has been
developing and promoting investments, lending to property
borrowers, and managing its property assets and investments for
its investors.

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
July 4, 2008, St Laurence Limited stopped repaying principal
investments ahead of a vote on a scheme of repayment.  The company
had halted repayments of principal after it received legal advice
which said all debenture holders needed to be treated equally and
fairly.

The TCR-AP reported on Dec. 5, 2008, that St Laurence Limited said
its recapitalization plan and proposal to amend the Trust Deed has
been approved by secured debenture stock and capital note holders.

BAYAN TELECOM: CA Dismisses 3G Phone License Suit Against NTC
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Court of Appeals has dismissed a petition challenging a
decision of the National Telecommunications Commission to strip
Bayan Telecommunications Inc. of its license to engage in third
generation (3G) mobile phone technology services, The Daily
Tribune reports.

Citing Associate Justice Normandie Pizarro in a decision issued
this week, the Tribue relates that the CA ruled that Bayantel's
petition has been dismissed on both procedural and substantive
grounds.

The report recalls that Bayantel, in its suit against the NTC, had
opposed the selection process, including the points-scoring system
for applicants, in the awarding of 3G frequencies, arguing that
the NTC had denied Bayantel due process and such denial led to its
loss in the selection process.

The NTC had awarded 3G licenses to Smart Communications Inc.,
Globe Telecom Inc. Digital Telecommunications Inc. and
Connectivity Unlimited Resources Enterprise, the Tribune relates.

With the decision, the report notes, the NTC is now free to
consider the awarding of the last 3G license to another company.

owned by Benpres Holdings Corp. and the Lopez Group, was

local exchange service areas in the Visayas and Mindanao regions
combined, cover a population of over 25 million, nearly 33% of
the population of the Philippines.  BayanTel has operations in
Japan and the U.K.

In a report on Aug. 15, 2007, the Philippine Star said BayanTel
was setting aside PHP760 million to PHP800 million in 2007 to pay
down debt, using internally-generated cash.  BayanTel was placed
into receivership in 2004.

Weighed down by its huge debt, the company sought corporate
rehabilitation with the Pasig City Regional Trial Court in July
2003 to restructure its short-and long-term bank loans and bonds
payable.  The Pasig Regional Trial Court Branch 158 approved the
company's financial rehabilitation on June 28, 2004, based on
sustainable debt level of PHP17.13 billion, payable over 19
years.  According to RTC Judge Rodolfo R. Bonifacio, the
remainder of BayanTel's debt may be converted to another
appropriate instrument that will not be a financial burden to
parent Benpres Holdings Corp.  It also mandated BayanTel to
treat all creditors equally.  Some of BayanTel's creditors have
appealed the lower court decision.

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.
