ELYSIUM NOOSA: Property Project Placed in Receivership
------------------------------------------------------
James Thomson at Smart Company reports that a AU$400 million
luxury apartment project in Noosa is in receivership, adding to
the string of failed developments in the chic beachside town.

The report, citing ASIC documents, discloses that the Elysium
Noosa development went under in late September and is now in the
hands of receivers Chris Campbell and John Greig from Deloitte.

Smart Company relates that the project was being developed by the
80-year-old Sydney property group, Consolo.


FARMER CHARLIE: Deloitte Appointed as Receivers
-----------------------------------------------
Deloitte partners Simon Cathro and David Lombe were appointed
receivers and managers on October 2, 2009, to the three Farmer
Charlie stores located in Lismore, Ballina and Evans Head.

The receivers are looking to trade the separate businesses
normally in order to preserve the long term viability and value of
these stores.  It is the intention of the Receivers to offer the
businesses for sale as a going concern.

"Employees of these stores have been notified of the appointment
and will continue to be employed on a "business as usual basis,"
Mr. Cathro said in a statement.

Mr. Cathro said that the receivers are undertaking a full review
of the financial position of the business.  Advertising for the
sale of the businesses will commence next week, he added.

Farmer Charlies companies under receivership are Farmer Charlie
Group Pty Ltd, Farmer Charlie Stores Pty Ltd, FC Grocery Pty Ltd
and FC Produce Pty Ltd.


FORTESCUE METALS: May Still Get Fund from China, Valin Says
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fortescue Metals Group Ltd., which missed a self-imposed deadline
to secure $6 billion of funds from Chinese lenders, may still
obtain financing from China, Bloomberg News reports, citing
shareholder Hunan Valin Iron & Steel Group.

"The money issue will be solved," Bloomberg quoted Li Xiaowei,
chairman of Chinese steelmaker Valin as saying.  "No one from the
Chinese government or financial institutions has said this can't
be done.  We will not give up until we reach our goal."

The Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific reported on October 1,
2009, that the financing deadline was part of the company's
funding and pricing agreement last month with China Iron & Steel
Association and Baosteel Group Corp, Bloomberg said.

Headquartered in West Perth, Western Australia, Fortescue Metals
Group Limited (ASX: FM) -- http://fmgl.com.au/-- is involved in
the exploration of iron ore through a project to mine iron ore
in the Chichester Ranges, in the Pilbara region of Western
Australia and exporting it from Port Hedland.

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
September 4, 2009, Moody's Investors Service lowered to B2 from B1
the Senior Secured rating of FMG Resources (August 2006) Pty Ltd
(previously FMG Finance Pty Ltd), the financing arm of the
Fortescue Metals Group.  The outlook for the rating is negative.
This completes the rating review for possible downgrade commenced
in May 2009 in view of weakness in the iron ore market and
operating challenges at FMG's mining and processing operations.


SMART SERIES: Fitch Assigns Final Ratings on 2009-1 Securities
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned final ratings to the SMART Series 2009-
1 Trust automotive and equipment lease receivables-backed
securitization by Macquarie Leasing Pty Limited (Macquarie
Leasing).  Eight notes totaling AUD675.0 million were issued, up
from the initial amount of AUD320.0 million indicated at the
transaction's launch date.  Ratings, Outlooks and Loss Severity
ratings were assigned:

  -- AUD98.750 million Class A-1 'F1+';

  -- AUD475.000 million Class A-2 'AAA'; Outlook Stable; Loss
     Severity rating at 'LS1';

  -- AUD43.875 million Class B 'AA'; Outlook Stable; Loss Severity
     rating at 'LS2';

  -- AUD32.062 million Class C 'A'; Outlook Stable; Loss Severity
     rating at 'LS2';

  -- AUD6.750 million Class D 'BBB'; Outlook Stable; Loss Severity
     rating at 'LS4'; and

  -- AUD5.063 million Class E 'BB'; Outlook Stable; Loss Severity
     rating at 'LS4'.

The notes will be issued by Perpetual Trustee Company Limited as
trustee for SMART Series 2009-1 Trust (the issuer).  The SMART
Series 2009-1 Trust is a legally distinct trust established
pursuant to a master trust and security trust deed.

At the cut-off date, the total collateral pool consisted of 20,484
automotive and equipment lease receivables totalling approximately
AUD668.25 million with an average size of AUD32,623.  The pool is
comprised of automobile (91.8%) and equipment (8.2%) lease
receivables originated by Macquarie Leasing to Australian
residents across the country.  The pool comprises fully amortizing
principal and interest leases with varying balloon amounts payable
at maturity.  The majority of leases are novated contracts
(62.8%), where the lease is novated to the employer in salary
packaging arrangements.  The balloon payment varies depending on
asset type.  However, the weighted average balloon payment for the
portfolio is 27.3%.

The 'F1+' rating assigned to the Class A-1 notes and the 'AAA'
rating assigned to the A-2 notes are based on the quality of the
lease collateral; the 15% credit enhancement provided by the
subordination of the Class B, C, D, E, F and seller notes; the
excess spread available to cover losses; the liquidity reserve
equivalent to the greater of (i) 1.0% of the aggregate invested
amount of the outstanding notes, or (ii) AUD300,000; the interest
rate swap provided by Macquarie Bank Ltd ('A+'/Outlook
Stable/'F1'); and Macquarie Leasing's underwriting and servicing
capabilities.

The ratings on the Class B, C, D, and E notes are based on all the
strengths supporting the Class A notes, excluding their credit
enhancement levels.


SMART SERIES: Moody's Assigns Final Ratings on Various Classes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned these definitive ratings to
notes issued by SMART Series 2009-1 Trust:

  -- AUD98.750 million Class A-1 Notes, Assigned P-1;
  -- AUD475.00 million Class A-2 Notes, Assigned Aaa;
  -- AUD43.850 million Class B Notes, Assigned Aa1;
  -- AUD32.062 million Class C Notes, Assigned A1;
  -- AUD6.750 million Class D Notes, Assigned Baa1;
  -- AUD5.063 million Class E Notes, Assigned Ba3;
  -- AUD6.750 million Class F Notes, Assigned B3.

The AUD6.750 million Seller Notes are not rated by Moody's.  The
transaction has been upsized from an initial size of
AUD320 million.

The transaction is a securitization of a portfolio of Australian
commercial hire purchase agreements, chattel mortgages, finance
leases and novated leases secured by motor vehicles and other
commercial equipment originated by Macquarie Leasing Pty Limited.
In broad terms SMART Series 2009-1 Trust replicates the structures
seen in previous SMART transactions sponsored by Macquarie.

In order to fund the purchase price of the revolving portfolio,
SMART Series 2009-1 Trust has issued eight classes of notes.  The
notes will be repaid on a sequential basis in the initial stages
(until the subordination percentage increases from the initial
15.0% to 19.9%) and during the tail end of the transaction.  At
all other times, the structure will follow a pro rata repayment
profile.  This principal paydown structure is a departure from
past SMART transactions and other comparable structures in the
Australian ABS market.

The ratings take account of, among other factors, the credit
enhancement provided by the mezzanine and junior notes, equal to
15% in the case of the Class A Notes.  This compares favorably
with the 10% credit support commensurate with the Aaa rating in
Moody's view.  The ratings also take into account the 1.0%
liquidity reserve, which addresses the risk of temporary interest
shortfall and servicer disruption, and the experience of Macquarie
in servicing auto and equipment lease portfolios.

The definitive ratings address the expected loss posed to
investors by the legal final maturity (October 2016).  In Moody's
opinion, the structure allows for timely payment of interest and
ultimate payment of principal on or before the final legal
maturity date.  Moody's ratings address only the credit risks
associated with the transaction.  Other non-credit risks have not
been addressed, but may have a significant effect on yield to
investors.

Date of previous rating action: Assignment of provisional ratings
on the 1 October 2009.

Moody's will monitor this transaction on an ongoing basis.


STORM FINANCIAL: Former CFO Just 'Followed Orders' on AU$2MM Bonus
------------------------------------------------------------------
Anthony Marx at the Herald Sun reports Lauren Davies, former Storm
joint chief financial officer and company secretary, told the
Federal Court in Brisbane, said she was just following orders when
she oversaw a AU$2 million bonus payment to the company's co-
founders despite knowing the firm was in deep trouble.

The report relates Ms. Davies told the Federal Court she raised no
objections to the December 15 payment to a private trust account
controlled by Emmanuel and Julie Cassimatis.

"I was very confident they knew all the things I knew prior to
giving me that instruction," the reported cited Ms. Davies as
saying at the public examination into Storm's failure.

According to the report, Ms. Davies said she transferred the money
even though she knew the company could not pay an AU$11.3 million
tax debt, had terminated the services of three non-executive
directors, and sacked at least 10 staff.

The report notes Ms. Davies also described internal Storm concerns
at that time about insolvent trading and discussions with outside
accountants on whether the firm should be liquidated or placed in
voluntary administration.

Ms. Davies, as cited by the report, said the payment -- justified
as a "dividend" from a 2007 float of the firm which never
proceeded -- was increased at the last minute from AU$1.5 million
to AU$2 million on instructions from Mr. Cassimatis, the Herald
Sun relates.

The Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific reported on Sept. 25,
2009, that a public examination of Storm Financial began in the
Federal Court in Brisbane on September 24, with about 40 witnesses
likely to give evidence.  The examination will investigate the
running of the company and its collapse and is expected to run for
19 days, according to The Australian Associated Press.

The liquidators of Storm Financial Ltd, Raj Khatri and Ivor
Worrell of Worrells Solvency and Forensic Accountants, according
to the AAP, said the focus of the examination would be on possible
breaches of duty and corporate offences.

The examination will run from September 24 to September 29,
adjourning until October 12 and continuing until October 30.

                       About Storm Financial

Storm Financial Limited -- http://www.stormfinancial.com.au/--
operates in the Australian wealth management industry.  The
company manages over one trillion dollars in investment fund
assets for over nine million investors, distributed through

approximately 26.5% of total investment fund assets in Australia,
as of June 30, 2007.

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Jan. 14, 2009, Storm Financial appointed Worrells as voluntary
administrators after the Commonwealth Bank of Australia Ltd (CBA)
demanded debt repayment of around AU$20 million.

Storm later closed its business and fired all of its 115 staff.
The closure, the company's administrators said, was due to the
significant reduction in Storm's income resulting in trading
losses being incurred "at a rate which the company could no longer
absorb."

The TCR-AP reported on Jan. 22, 2009, that the Commonwealth Bank
of Australia, Storm's largest creditor, lodged a AU$27.09 million
debt claim at a first meeting of the company's creditors on
January 20.  Administrators Worrells Solvency & Forensic
Accountants said the group's remaining creditors are owed AU$51
million, plus a provision for dividends of AU$10 million.

On March 27, 2009, the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific
reported that the Australian Securities and Investments Commission
won its bid to liquidate Storm Financial Group after the Federal
Court ruled that the Company be wound up.  Federal court Justice
John Logan appointed Ivor Worrell and Raj Khatri of Worrells
Solvency and Forensic Accountants as liquidators for the Company.

CHINA MINSHENG: Can't Take Controlling Stake in UCBH, Reuters Says
------------------------------------------------------------------

ING GROEP: Oversea-Chinese Bank to Buy ING's Asia Private Bank
--------------------------------------------------------------
Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp., the owner of Singapore's biggest
life insurer, is close to an agreement to buy ING Groep NV's
private banking assets in Asia for about US$1.5 billion, Bloomberg
News reports citing people with knowledge on the matter.

According to Bloomberg, the people said Oversea-Chinese beat out
HSBC Holdings Plc for ING's Asian private bank as competition
heats up in a region expected to outperform Europe and the U.S. in
wealth accumulation.  Bloomberg recalls Amsterdam-based ING last
week sold its Geneva-based wealth management business to Julius
Baer Group Ltd. as it seeks to raise as much as EUR8 billion
(US$12 billion).

The report discloses that ING's Asian private banking division is
led by Renato de Guzman and manages assets for more than 5,000
clients from offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and the Philippines.
Assets under management declined to EUR11 billion at the end of
June from EUR11.4 billion three months earlier, the report notes.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on Sept. 17,
the European Commission has extended, under EC Treaty state aid
rules, its investigation of the illiquid asset back-up facility
provided by the Dutch State to the financial group ING.  The
Commission has also extended its temporary clearance of the
measure until the assessment of the measure is finalized.  The
Commission initially authorised the measure for six months for
reasons of financial stability on March 31, while opening an in-
depth investigation to analyse the complex measure in light of the
Commission's Impaired Assets Communication.  On the basis of the
information provided so far, the Commission has doubts as to the
compatibility of the measure with the Impaired Assets
Communication, in particular as regards valuation and burden
sharing.  This decision is without prejudice to the final outcome
of the investigation.

In January 2009, the Dutch State and ING implemented a so-called
illiquid assets back-up facility for a portfolio of US$39 billion
(EUR30 billion) par value worth of US residential mortgage-backed
securities , mostly backed by so-called Alt-A mortgage loans.

Under the transaction, the Dutch State buys the right to receive
future cash flows on 80% of the above-mentioned portfolio.

The Commission has assessed the measure under its guidance
Communication on the treatment of asset relief measures.  Taking
account of input from external experts, the Commission considers
that the valuation seems at this stage not conservative enough.
In addition, the Commission found that a significant proportion of
securities were valued above purchase price.  Therefore, the
Commission continues to have doubts that the price paid by the
Dutch Government, equivalent to a transfer price of 90% of the
face value, is justified.  Should the Dutch authorities not be in
a position to address the Commission's concerns in a convincing
manner, the Commission's final decision on the compatibility of
the facility with EU state aid rules would have to require
increasing the remuneration of the Dutch State.

Headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, ING Groep N.V. --
http://www.ing.com/-- is a global financial institution offering
banking, investments, life insurance and retirement services.  The
Company serves more than 85 million private, corporate and

completed the acquisition of CitiStreet LLC, a retirement plan and
benefit service and administration company in United States.  In
November 2008, ING Groep N.V. increased its stake in joint venture
Billington Holdings PLC from 50% to 100%.  In February 2009, the
Company announced that it closed the sale of its Taiwanese life
insurance business to Fubon Financial Holding Co. Ltd.  In April
2009, the Company sold its non-state pension fund business and its
holding company in Russia to Aviva plc.

GENERAL MOTORS: SAIC Close to Buying Stake in GM India
------------------------------------------------------
The Economic Times reports that Shanghai Automotive Industry
Corporation is close to picking up a stake in General Motors
India.

The alliance will cover sourcing of components from China and
assembling of SAIC’s light trucks at GM India’s Talegaon factory,
the Times relates, citing a person with direct knowledge of the
development.

According to the Times, the person said SAIC, one of GM’s largest
partners in China, is eager to establish a presence in India and
is leveraging its equation with GM to form an alliance.

Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that a senior
executive at GM said the company's Indian unit has raised US$200
million to build an engine and transmission equipment plant.

"A part of it (the money) has come from the parent company and the
rest has been sourced locally," the Journal cited Ankush Arora,
vice president of sales and marketing at General Motors India, as
saying on the sidelines of an event to launch the Chevrolet Cruze
sedan.  The Journal notes Mr. Arora declined to say how much was
sourced from local banks.

The Journal quoted Mr. Arora as saying that "I can't share
anything beyond this on the funding. The plant is on track to be
commissioned by November 2010. Trial production has already
started."

According to the Journal, GM India had outlined a US$500 million
expansion plan in India, to be spent on building a new US$300
million car factory -- which started operations in late 2008 --
and the engine and transmission plant at Talegaon in the western
state of Maharashtra.

The company plans to make both diesel and gasoline engines at the
new factory, the Journal adds.

                 Tata Motors Launches Indigo MANZA

Tata Motors has launched its new generation sedan, the Tata Indigo
MANZA.  Built on its new car platform, the Indigo MANZA succeeds
the highly successful Tata Indigo, which became a best-seller in
the very first year of its launch in 2003 and has since then sold
close to 275,000 nos of the range.

Speaking on the occasion of the launch, Mr. Ratan N. Tata,
Chairman, Tata Sons and Tata Motors, said, “The Indigo Manza is a
modern, contemporary sedan on a new car platform that has the
potential to emerge as a class leader.”

The Indigo MANZA is an altogether new car.  A complete new body on
a new platform houses an all new interior and makes a bold styling
statement.  With a length of over 4.4m, a width of 1.7m, and a
wheel base of 2,520mm, the sedan has grown in size and thus in
interior space.  The front wraparound three barreled headlamps–
one of the most striking headlamp units on any car in India– add
to the linearity while giving the Indigo MANZA a feline aggressive
appearance.  The large 15” wheels, ensconced in their flared
arches, give it a higher and more commanding stance. The chrome
inserts on the rub rails and outer door handles add that touch of
class.  The new rear monolithic angular shaped tail lamps give the
profile an unmistakable noticeability for following cars. The
trunk has a capacity of 460 litres to meet every need of travel.

The Indigo MANZA is designed to offer the very best in comfort,
both for the driver and passengers, compared to any other car in
its category.  The spacious right inclination rear seats with a
centre armrest, allow one to sit back and relax, in a living room
like comfort and ambience.  The interiors exude a fine blend of
technology and luxury.  The rich two tone fabric endows the cabin
with a warm feel.  The tilt adjustable power steering with a
height adjustable driver seat allows a comfortable driving
posture. The car comes equipped with electronically adjustable and
controlled Outer Rear View Mirrors.  The driver information system
on top of the central console provides information on fuel
consumption and ambient temperature, while the sporty instrument
cluster shrouded in the swoop of the soft-feel dashboard completes
the styling statement. A 2 DIN Music System offers connectivity
with a USB port and Bluetooth connectivity through the Blue5, a
feature not even available in premium cars. The audio controls of
the music system are mounted on the steering wheel, for ease of
access while driving.

The safety features in the Indigo MANZA include a collapsible
steering column, Anti-lock Braking System and Dual Frontal Airbags
amongst others. Instead of the usual red line on the tachometer,
the Critical Rev Indicator needle turns red when the engine
crosses a critical RPM.  The engine immobilizer and the central
locking feature are conveniences for additional security.

The drive refinement of the Indigo MANZA stems from the
internationally-acclaimed 90 hp Quadrajet Diesel and Safire Petrol
engines, sourced from Fiat.  The petrol engines are configured
using a Continuous Variable Cam Phaser, which smartly adjusts
valve timings and intervals for power delivery. In addition, the
electronically controlled Intelligent Port Resizer (IPR) function
in the Safire engine delivers a perfect balance of power and
economy. The Quadrajet diesel engine features a Variable Geometry
Turbocharger for smoother running and an aluminum bedplate along
with superior insulation that reduces NVH levels while delivering
a superior power to weight ratio. The Drive by Wire technology
virtually eliminates all “throttle lag” leading to a faster,
smoother response.

The Quadra jet diesel is certified by the ARAI to give a mileage
of 21.02 kms to a litre, while the Safire Petrol is certified for
a mileage of 14.5 kms to a litre

The car comes with a warranty of 2 Years/75,000 kms, amongt the
best in the industry, and will be available in a range of 7 colors
through 224 dealerships with 493 sales points across 401 towns in
the country.  The car is priced at INR4.8 lakhs ex-showroom Delhi
for the petrol Safire for the base Aqua version going upto Rs.
6.75 lakhs ex-showroom Delhi for the highest Aura+ version of the
Quadrajet diesel.

A rationalized portfolio of the existing Tata Indigo range- the
Indigo CS, Indigo XL and the Indigo Marina- will continue to
exist.  Between the existing Tata Indigo range and the new Tata
Indigo MANZA range, customers will have a choice at every step of
the INR3.73 lakhs– INR6.75 lakhs price range.

SPANSION INC: Proposes to Reject Japan Unit Foundry Pact
--------------------------------------------------------
Spansion Inc., and its debtor affiliates seek the Court's
authority to reject a Second Amended and Restated Foundry
Agreement, dated as of March 2007, with Spansion Japan Limited.

Spansion LLC and Spansion Japan are parties to the Foundry
Agreement pursuant to which Spansion Japan manufactures
integrated flash memory circuits for the Debtors.  The pricing
under the Foundry Agreement was based on a "cost plus" formula
that resulted in a price per unit well in excess of the
prevailing prices in the market.  Historically, Spansion Japan,
which is 100% owned by Spansion LLC, was centrally managed with
Spansion LLC and its affiliates.

On February 10, 2009, Spansion Japan filed a proceeding under the
Corporate Reorganization Law of Japan to obtain protection from
Spansion Japan's creditors.  The Spansion Japan Proceeding was
formally commenced on March 3, 2009, when the Tokyo District
Court entered the commencement order and appointed the incumbent
represented director of Spansion Japan as trustee.  As a result
of the Spansion Japan Proceeding, Spansion Japan is no longer
centrally managed with the Debtors' global operations.  In
addition, due to Spansion Japan's insolvency, any above-market
amounts that would be paid by Spansion LLC to Spansion Japan
under the Foundry Agreement would effectively become trapped in
Spansion Japan's bankruptcy estate and would not inure, whether
directly or indirectly, to the Debtors' benefit as had been the
case prior to the Spansion Japan Proceeding.

Sommer L. Ross, Esq., at Duane Morris, LLP, in Wilmington,
Delaware, relates that since the commencement of the Spansion
Japan Proceeding, the Debtors have engaged in numerous
discussions with Spansion Japan and those administering its
bankruptcy estate concerning the terms under which Spansion LLC
would be willing to continue its commercial relationships with
Spansion Japan.  In these discussions, Ms. Ross notes, the
Debtors have consistently stressed that they could not and would
not continue that relationship on the original terms of the
Foundry Agreement due to, among other things, the above-market
pricing.  Thus, the Debtors have insisted that the Foundry
Agreement be amended to make it commercially justifiable for
Spansion LLC as a condition to maintaining their commercial
arrangements with Spansion Japan.

On May 20, 2009, Spansion LLC and Spansion Japan negotiated the
terms of an amendment to the Foundry Agreement, which terms
included:

  (a) a modification of the pricing terms of the Foundry
      Agreement, retroactive to March 3, 2009, so that they more
      closely conform to market prices;

  (b) the establishment of production levels that are more in
      line with the Debtors' global needs; and

  (c) shortened payment terms for Spansion LLC.

Ms. Ross tells the Court that after the parties had agreed upon
the terms of the Amendment, Spansion Japan netted the amounts it
owed Spansion LLC for the month of March under the FASL Japan
Distribution Agreement against the amounts Spansion LLC owed to
Spansion Japan for the month of March under the Foundry Agreement
based on the pricing terms agreed to in the Amendment, and
remitted the difference to Spansion LLC as to the March
Settlement Payment.  This same process was subsequently followed
to settle payments due between the parties for activity in the
month of April, Ms. Ross adds.

However, Ms. Ross notes, after the Settlement Payment for April
2009 activity, which was made during the week of June 29, 2009,
Spansion Japan has taken a number of steps that indicate that it
might not honor the terms of the Amendment, but instead might
seek to enforce the pre-Amendment terms of the Foundry Agreement.
For example, no Settlement Payment has been made for activity in
May or thereafter.  Ms. Ross relates that Spansion Japan
continues to delay making that payment, while balking at
executing the Amendment, making statements questioning the
validity of the Amendment and threatening to enforce the pre-
Amendment pricing terms of the Foundry Agreement.  According to
Ms. Ross, the difference between the pricing terms originally set
forth in the Foundry Agreement and those in the Amendment would
equate to tens of millions of dollars in additional postpetition
costs for Spansion LLC.

In light of the ongoing assertions by Spansion Japan and GE
Financial Services Corporation that the pricing under the Foundry
Agreement is still binding on the Debtors, the Debtors have
determined to reject the Foundry Agreement.

SPANSION INC: Samsung, ITC Appeal Stay Order on Infringement Probe
------------------------------------------------------------------
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., informs the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware that it will take an appeal to the
U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware from the
October 1, 2009 Memorandum Opinion and Order issued by Judge Kevin
J. Carey, granting motions filed by the Ad Hoc Consortium of
Floating Rate Noteholders and Masao Taguchi seeking, among other
things, a determination that the automatic stay applies to an
investigation being conducted by the United States International
Trade Commission.

The United States International Trade Commission informs the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware that it will also
take an appeal of the Oct. 1 Order by the Bankruptcy Court.

Pursuant to the Court's October 1, 2009 Order, Judge Carey
concluded that Samsung violated the automatic stay of Section 362
of the Bankruptcy Code by filing the Samsung Action to enforce
postpetition patent infringement claims against the Chapter 11
Debtors and the Foreign Debtor.  Judge Carey held that the
Samsung Action does not fall within the police and regulatory
powers exception to the automatic stay.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., filed a complaint on July 31,
2009, against Spansion International, Inc., and Dr. Reinhard
Weigl, in his capacity as business representative of the German
branch of Spansion International.  Samsung's claims in the German
Action concern alleged patent infringements arising out of the
manufacture and sale of flash memory chips.  Samsung alleges that
Spansion International's infringing conduct began on March 2,
2009, the day after the Petition Date.

The Debtors aver that they did not begin any infringing conduct on
March 2, 2009.  The Debtors maintain that they did not introduce
any new or modified products on that day or engage in any new or
different business activities from those activities that they had
engaged in prior to the Petition Date.  According to the Debtors,
their conduct that is the alleged basis for the German Complaint
predated March 2, 2009, by months.

Thus, the Debtors asked the Court to, among other things, enforce
the automatic stay against Samsung with respect to the prosecution
of the German Complaint.

GENERAL MOTORS: No Plans for GM Daewoo's Court Receivership
-----------------------------------------------------------
Kyong-Ae Choi and Shin Jung-Won at Dow Jones Newswires report that
General Motors Executive Vice President Nick Reilly said Thursday
that GM doesn't plan to place its South Korean unit GM Daewoo Auto
& Technology Co. in court receivership.

Dow Jones relates Mr. Reilly told reporters in Seoul that GM and
Korea Development Bank, a main creditor bank of GM Daewoo, aren't
planning to seek bankruptcy protection for GM Daewoo as they are
trying to find solutions to ease the company's liquidity issues.

Reuters relates that GM Chief Executive Fritz Henderson is in
Seoul this week to discuss options for restructuring GM Daewoo
with the South Korean government -- an increasingly important
asset for the automaker.

According to Reuters, Mr. Henderson's visit follows eight months
of talks between GM executives and the government-run Korea
Development Bank to secure about KRW1 trillion (US$864 million) in
new loans for the cash-strapped unit.

GM Daewoo has been in talks with KDB since February to receive
about KRW1 trillion won (US$855.8 million) in new loans after
using up a $2 billion credit line, Yonhap News Agency says.  The
negotiations, according to Yonhap, have faltered on GM's refusal
to put up part of its stake in GM Daewoo as collateral.

"GM needs to resolve the situation quickly. It's imperative simply
because of their dependence on GM Daewoo for their small car
architecture," Dow Jones quoted Erich Merkle, an analyst at
Autoconomy.com, as saying.

KUMHO ASIANA: Unit Gets More Than 10 Interested Buyers
------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News, citing MoneyToday, reports that more than 10
companies showed interest in buying Kumho Rent-A-Car Co.

According to Bloomberg, the Korean-language news provider said
Lotte Group, KT Corp. and private equity funds, including MBK
Partners Ltd. and Carlyle Group Inc., submitted letters of intent.

Bloomberg notes MoneyToday said Development Bank is arranging the
sale for Kumho Asiana Group.

The Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific, citing The Korea
Herald, reported on August 6, 2009, that Kumho Asiana has been
suffering from a liquidity crisis, which observers describe as a
typical case of acquisition indigestion.  In a bid to ease a cash
shortage, the conglomerate in July decided to re-sell the
controlling stakes and management rights of Daewoo Engineering &
Construction, three years after acquiring it for KRW6.4 trillion,
according to the Korea Herald.

Bloomberg related Kumho Asiana has sold properties and stakes in
affiliates to help it repay debt stemming from its 2006 purchase
of Daewoo Engineering.  Bloomberg said creditors including Shinhan
Bank may force the company to repay KRW3.9 trillion (US$3.2
billion) by June if they exercise an option to sell Daewoo
Engineering shares they hold back to Kumho Asiana.

Established in 1946, Kumho Asiana Group is a large South Korean
conglomerate, with subsidiaries in the automotive, industry,
leisure, logistic, chemical and airline fields.  The group is
headquartered at the Kumho Asiana Main Tower in Sinmunno 1-ga,
Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea.

* NEW ZEALAND: Annual Inflation Rate Down to 5-Year Low
-------------------------------------------------------
The consumers price index (CPI) in New Zealand increased 1.7% from
the September 2008 quarter to the September 2009 quarter,
Statistics New Zealand said Thursday.  "This annual increase is
the lowest in five-and-a-half years," said Prices Manager Chris
Pike.

The CPI measures the rate of price change of goods and services
purchased by households.

"A big contributor to the lower annual increase came from petrol
prices and airfares falling during the year, which partly offset
higher prices for food, electricity, and local authority rates,"
Mr. Pike said.

Transport prices fell 5.5% during the year with lower prices for
petrol (down 19.0%), international air transport (down 15.1%), and
diesel (down 38.8%).  Petrol and diesel prices peaked in July last
year.

In the year to the September 2009 quarter, food prices increased
5.4%, accounting for well over half of the CPI annual increase of
1.7%.  Electricity prices rose 4.5% and local authority rates rose
6.6%.

The annual increase in the CPI included a rise of 1.3% for the
September 2009 quarter.

"The increase in the September 2009 quarter was driven by higher
food prices and international airfares, and by levy, excise and
tax increases that usually occur at this time of year," Mr. Pike
said.

Food prices rose 1.7% in the September 2009 quarter, driven by
higher vegetable prices. International air transport was up 11.0%
in the same period, rising from historically low levels in the
June 2009 quarter.  Vehicle relicensing fees rose 16.2%
(reflecting an increase in the ACC levy), local authority rates
rose 5.6%, and alcoholic beverages rose 2.5% (with higher excise
duty from July).

INDUSTRIAL BANK: Fitch Affirms Individual Rating at 'C/D'
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the ratings of Industrial Bank of
Taiwan and its subsidiary, IBT Securities Co., Ltd.  At the same
time, the agency has revised the Outlook on IBTS's National Long-
term rating to Stable from Negative.  The Outlook revision
reflects IBTS's improved asset quality following a large write-
down for its involvement in a defaulted reverse repo transaction
in 2008, and the company's reasonable capitalization.

IBT's Individual rating of 'C/D' reflects its adequate asset
quality and capitalization, as well as its low profitability and
weakness in funding due to its limited access to retail deposits.
IBT has aimed to diversify revenue and risk through acquisitions.
It acquired 28% of China Bills Finance Corporation ('BBB'/Stable)
in 2005-2007, and 90% of EverTrust Bank in California (US) in
March 2007.  These direct investments are fully deducted from its
capital when calculating its standalone capital adequacy.  To
diversify further, IBT opened a branch in Hong Kong in April 2009
and plans to establish a presence in Vietnam and mainland China.

Loan growth was strong in 2007-2008 for IBT, but the bank became
more conservative in 2009 as the economy slowed.  In H109, the
consolidated loan portfolio shrank by 7%, larger than the industry
contraction of 2%.  IBT's consolidated impaired loans remained low
at 1.4% of total loans at end-H109, of which 87% were covered by
loan loss reserves.  Nonetheless, Fitch understands that the
problematic loans excluded the restructured debts of some
financially weak corporations.  Should tough economic conditions
continue, this could increase IBT's credit cost since only limited
loan loss provisions have been provided against these exposures.

In 2008, IBT incurred a substantial net loss as large losses on a
defaulted reverse repo transaction at 94% owned-IBTS weighed on
profitability.  However, IBT and IBTS returned to profitability
with modest annualized ROE of 8.0% and 9.8%, respectively in H109.
IBT's margins are relatively low due to its business focus on
corporate lending and a limited deposit-taking capability,
although margins did widen a bit in H109, thanks to lower funding
costs and benefits from the central bank's interest rate cuts.
IBT remained adequately capitalized at end-H109, with a standalone
capital adequacy ratio of 14.1% (end-2008: 12.7%).  Its
consolidated Tier 1 and total capital adequacy ratio was 16.8% and
17.2% at end-H109, reflecting adequate capitalization among its
major subsidiaries.

IBTS's Individual rating of 'D' reflects its small brokerage
franchise and its rather volatile performance in profitability and
risk management.  The rating also considers IBTS's improved asset
quality and reasonable capital buffer.  IBTS's existing National
Long-term rating is mainly based on its standalone financial
strength.  Losses leading to a significant reduction in capital
would put downward pressure on IBTS's National Long-term rating.

IBTS returned to net profit in January-August 2009 (ROE of 14%,
annualized) after a large net loss in 2008 (ROE of -47%).  With
the balance sheet now cleaned up, Fitch expects IBTS to report
reasonable profitability in 2009 due to improved trading volume on
Taiwan's main stock exchange, positive proprietary trading results
in the year to date, and profits from renewed warrant issuance.
IBTS has maintained a comfortable capital buffer above the 150%
regulatory minimum, with a capital adequacy ratio of 388% as at
end-H109.  The company expects to receive new capital from IBT in
late 2009 to restore its capital strength and meet business
expansion needs.

IBT is listed in Taiwan OTC stock market and is one of two
industrial banks in the country.  IBT is controlled by the Lo
family, its largest shareholder with a 15% ownership interest.
IBTS is a smaller full-licensed securities firm in Taiwan.  IBTS
has strong expertise in the niche domestic exchange-traded funds
market.

The details of the ratings are:

* IBT: Individual rating affirmed at 'C/D' and Support rating at
  '5'.

* IBTS: Nation Long-term rating affirmed at 'BBB+(twn)', Outlook
  revised to Stable from Negative, National Short-term rating
* affirmed at 'F2(twn)', Support rating at '3', and Individual
* rating at 'D'.

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.
