NOVA PLAMA: Highway Logistic Acquires Assets for BGN44.44 Mln
-------------------------------------------------------------
The assets of bankrupt refinery Nova Plama JSC were sold to
Highway Logistic Center EOOD for BGN44.44 million at an auction
on June 18, 2007, Todor Roussanov writes for News.bg.

According to the report, Highway Logistic Center, the only
bidder for Nova Plama, paid BGN2.2 million for the assets.  The
company is due to pay the whole sum five days from the date of
the auction.

Under the terms of the sale, the new owner is not obliged to
assume the refinery's debts of around BGN300 million, News.bg
relates.

The company, however, plans to reboot the refinery and retains
its core business, Highway Logistic representative Ivailo Ivanov
was quoted by the company as saying.

                         About Nova Plama

Nova Plama JSC is Bulgaria's No. 2 oil refinery with annual
processing capacity of 1,200,000 metric tons of crude oil.
Until 1996, the refinery was the main supplier of base oils,
finished oils and special products for all local and most East-
European consumers.  The refinery is located near the town of
Pleven, approximately 160 km Northeast of Sofia and nearly 30 km
South from the Danube River.

The district court in Pleven opened a bankruptcy proceeding
against the company in July 2005.  The proceeding is the second
in seven years after the Bulgarian oil company failed to
implement its rehabilitation plan approved by creditors in 1999.
The first proceeding was initiated by the State Fund for
Reconstruction and Development.  The rehab plan extended Plama's
repayment of a BGN251.5 million debt until 2031, but in 2003 it
must repay creditors BGN30 million.

Creditors in the second proceedings claim Plama did not
implement this plan.  Jorset Holding and DZI Bank, which
collectively hold claims to over BGN8 million, asked the court
to appoint receivers and order the sale of Plama's assets to pay
its debt.

In January 2006, Yorset Holding and DZI Bank filed separate
insolvency petitions against Nova Plama.

Yorset failed to have Nova Plama declared insolvent, after the
Supreme Cassation Court stayed the proceedings against the oil
refinery.  The Court said Yorset does not own enough credit
percentage to ask for an insolvency ruling.  Court records show
that Yorset and DZI Bank own 14.83% and 7.9% respectively of
Nova Plama's BGL241 million debt.

QUANTUM CORP: Moody's Rates US$450 Mln Sr. Sec. Facilities at B1
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 rating to Quantum
Corporation's US$50 million senior secured revolver due 2012 and
US$400 million term loan due 2014.

At the same time Moody's affirmed the company's corporate family
rating of B3 and the US$160 million convertible subordinated
notes' rating of Caa2.

The B1 ratings assigned to the new facilities reflect both the
overall probability of default of the company to which Moody's
assigned a PDR of B3, and a loss given default of LGD3 for the
new facilities.  The rating outlook is stable.

The proceeds from the new term loan will refinance the company's
existing US$375 million secured first lien facilities rated Ba3
and a US$125 million second lien term loan (not rated). The
refinancing has no effect on the company's B3 corporate family
rating as overall leverage declines only modestly, from about
6.1 times debt to EBITDA for twelve months ending March 2006
proforma for the ADIC acquisition to 5.9 times for the twelve
months ended March 2007.

The absence of a second lien term loan in the proposed
structure, however, reduces the cushion and protection for first
lien holders.  As a result, the proposed facilities are rated
only two notches above the corporate family rating as compared
to three notches for the existing facilities.  Notably, the new
facilities retain the covenant permitting acceleration in
February 2010 (from stated maturity of 2014) if more than US$25
million of the existing convertible subordinated notes due
August 2010 are not converted or refinanced by February 2010.
The covenant poses some refinancing risk in 2010.

Ratings/assessments assigned:

   -- US$50 million senior secured revolver due 2012 at B1,
      LGD3, 32%;

   -- US$400 million senior secured first lien facility due 2014
      at B1, LGD3, 32%.

Ratings/assessments affirmed:

   -- Corporate family rating at B3;

   -- Probability-of-default rating at B3;

   -- US$160 million subordinated convertible notes due 2010 at
      Caa2, LGD6, 91%.

Ratings/assessments to be withdrawn upon repayment:

   -- US$150 million senior secured revolver due 2009 at Ba3,
      LGD2, 24%;

   -- US$225 million senior secured first lien facility due 2012
      at Ba3, LGD2, 24%.

Quantum's B3 corporate family rating reflects:

   (1) the mature and competitive storage market it operates in
       which is subject to consolidation and strong competition;

   (2) a historically challenging business mix although there
       are signs of gradual improvement in its higher margin
       branded business;

   (3) weak profitability and cash flow generation; and

   (4) high leverage relative to its business risk.

Positively, the rating also considers:

   (1) Quantum's position as the largest provider of storage
       systems and solutions following its acquisition of ADIC;

   (2) recent improvements in operating margins due partly to
       the increasing revenue contribution of its higher margin
       branded business; and

   (3) early indications of good integration of ADIC since its
       acquisition in August 2006, resulting in realization of
       cost synergies of about US$20 million in the recent two
       quarters.

Headquatered in San Jose, California, Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM)

HILITE INT'L: Moody's Assigns Corporate Family Rating at B3
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned Hilite International, Inc. a
Corporate Family and a Probability of Default rating of B3.  The
outlook is stable.

In a related action Moody's also assigned a B1 rating to the new
first lien senior secured term loan issued by Hilite Germany
GmbH & Co. KG; a B1 rating to the new first lien senior secured
revolving credit issued by Hilite Industries, Inc. (and
Hydraulik-Ring GmbH, as co-borrowers); and a Caa2 rating to the
new second lien senior secured term loan issued by Hilite
Germany GmbH & Co. KG.  These facilities will be used to
refinance Hilite's existing bank credit facilities, subordinated
debt, preferred stock, and to pay related transaction fees.  The
transaction furthers Hilite's progress in recasting its debt
obligations by aligning the debt service requirements with the
company's geographic cash generating capacity.

The ratings reflect the company's weak credit metrics, including
low operating margins and limited interest coverage. Hilite's
stable outlook is supported by the company's stabilized
performance, its portfolio of highly engineered products which
focus on improving engine efficiency, and the company's growing
proportion of revenues from engineered products generated
outside of North America.  While moderate in size, the company's
portfolio of highly engineered products focus on improving
engine efficiency, an area of increasing industry importance.
Hilite's products require joint design with its customers,
resulting in the company being a sole source provider for
approximately 95% its products.  The B3 corporate family rating
reflects the above characteristics and the company's weak credit
metrics which are incorporated into Moody's Auto Supplier Rating
Methodology.

Ratings assigned:

   * Hilite International, Inc.

     -- B3, Corporate Family Rating;
     -- B3, Probability of Default Rating.

   * Hilite Germany GmbH & Co. KG

     -- B1 (LGD2, 29%) to the US$95.0 million first lien senior
        secured term loan;

     -- Caa2 (LGD5, 79%) to the US$70.0 million second lien term
        loan.

   * Hilite Industries, Inc

     -- B1 (LGD2, 29%) to the US$25.0 million multi-currency
        revolving credit facility.

The ratings of the new issues reflect their priority of payout
under Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology.  As a result of
the preponderance of debt being funded at Hilite's European
operations, Moody's Europe, Middle East, and Africa Loss Given
Default Methodology is applied.  The significant impact of the
EMEA LGD Methodology compared to the U.S. methodology is the
senior secured treatment of trade payables.

Hilite, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, is a designer and
manufacturer of highly-engineered, valve-based components,
assemblies, and systems used principally in powertrain (engine
and transmission) applications for the automotive market.  Major
products include camphasers, diesel valves, cylinder
deactivation valves, SCR emissions control units for heavy duty
truck applications, solenoid valves, proportioning valves, and
clutch assemblies.  The company's annual revenues approximate
US$423 million.  Hilite has international locations in France
and Germany.

TBC-BANK: Fitch Affirms IDR at B- with Positive Outlook
-------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the ratings of Georgia-based TBC-Bank
at Long-term Issuer Default 'B-' with a Positive Outlook, Short-
term Issuer Default 'B', Individual 'D' and Support '5'. The
Support Rating Floor remains unchanged at 'B-'.

TBC's Long- and Short-term IDRs and Individual rating reflect
the high risks stemming from the bank's rapid growth in
Georgia's challenging environment.  However, Fitch notes the
bank's strong domestic franchise and track record of
satisfactory profitability and asset quality to date.

The Support Rating Floor reflects the strong propensity of the
Georgian authorities to support systemically important banks (at
end-May 2007, TBC held 29% of the system's retail deposits),
although the sovereign's ability to provide support is
constrained.

Profitability is supported by the Georgian banking system's high
margins and TBC's good cost efficiency.  Greater competition,
higher funding costs and additional spending to expand its
network and broaden franchise are reducing profitability,
although the drop in TBC's 2006-5M07 bottom-line results was
mainly caused by substantial impairment charges.  The latter
indicated a more conservative approach to provisioning of
performing loans, rather than actual credit losses.  Reported
impairment was at 1.2% of gross loans at end-5M07.

At end-5M07, capitalization was adequate, following a US$20m
equity injection received from existing shareholders in May. The
current owners are also committed to providing an additional
US$40m equity injection by end-June 2007. The new capital should
enable TBC to deliver its near-term growth plans (a doubling of
assets during FY07 to GEL2bn or US$1.2bn), while maintaining
Basel capital ratios above covenanted levels (total Basel I
capital ratio: 15%). However, regulatory capital ratios
(calculated using a 200% risk weighting for foreign currency
assets) have dipped below the minimum 8% tier 1 and 12% total
this year (waived by the regulator for TBC), and may do so again
before end-2007. Further capital injections, if needed, are
likely to be provided by new, rather then existing shareholders,
although the timing and structure of any such transaction are
not yet clear.

The Positive Outlook reflects the fact that the improving
operating environment, combined with TBC's track record of sound
performance and further support for the bank's capital position,
could result in an upgrade.

TBC is one of the leading banks in Georgia, with close to
US$800 million assets and US$100 million equity at end-May 2007.
Medium- to large local corporates and wealthy individuals, more
recently together with small businesses and retail, are the core
customer segments; the bank aims to expand its network to 21
service points and 150 ATMs by end-2007.  TBC is controlled by

FMC FINANCE: Moody's Rates US$500 Mln Sr. Unsec. Notes at (P)Ba3
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a provisional (P)Ba3 rating
to the proposed issuance of US$500 million in senior unsecured
notes issued by FMC Finance III S.A., a wholly owned finance
vehicle of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KgaA.

All other ratings of Fresenius Medical Care are affirmed with a
positive outlook.  The last rating action on FME was on May 15,
2007, when the Ba2 Corporate Family Rating and Ba2 Probability
of Default Rating were affirmed and the outlook changed to
positive.  The proposed US$500 million senior unsecured notes
due in 2017 will be applied to reduce the senior credit facility
and other short term debt.  The issuance is part of the group's
strategy to further diversify its capital structure.  The (P)Ba3
rating for the group's US$500 million senior unsecured notes
issued at the level of the financing subsidiary FMC Finance III
reflect the instrument's relative position in the capital
structure and a Loss Given Default assessment of LGD5 (74%).

The senior unsecured notes benefit from guarantees by Fresenius
Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA, Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland
GmbH and Fresenius Medical Care Holdings Inc., and rank pari
passu with most of the company's operating liabilities.

The notes rank senior in right of payment to all indebtedness of
the company that is, by its terms, expressly subordinated to the
senior credit facility of the group.  The (P)Ba3 rating for
the US$500 million senior unsecured notes is two notches below
the Ba1 (LGD2, 28%) rating for the group's US$4.3 billion senior
credit facilities which reflects the effective subordination of
the senior unsecured notes relative to the sizable proportion of
secured debt ranking ahead in the capital structure.

These senior credit facilities are guaranteed on a senior basis
by most of the operating companies and are secured by:

   (i) a share pledge of most of the company's operating
       subsidiaries and

  (ii) a springing lien on substantially all assets which would
       be effective following a deterioration of the company's
       credit ratings below Ba3 as well as

(iii) a share pledge of most of the company's operating
       subsidiaries.

The (P)Ba3 rating for the senior unsecured notes is one notch
below the Ba2 Corporate Family Rating which essentially reflects
the relatively higher expected LGD of the senior unsecured notes
(LGD5, 74%) compared to the LGD for the Corporate Family (LGD4,
50%), reflecting the dominant position of the senior secured
credit facility in the group's capital structure.  The (P) Ba3
rating for the group's senior unsecured notes is one notch above
the B1 rating for the group's Trust Preferreds.  The B1 (LGD6,
92%) rating on the US$1.2 billion Trust Preferreds, issued at
the level of Fresenius Medical Care Capital Trusts and
guaranteed by Fresenius Medical Care KGaA, Fresenius Medical
Care Deutschland GmbH and Fresenius Medical Care Holdings Inc.,
reflects their structural subordination to the senior credit
facilities as well as to the operating company obligations
including the senior unsecured notes.

Upgrades:

   * Issuer: Fresenius Medical Care AG & KGaA

   -- Senior Unsecured Bank Credit Facility, Upgraded to LGD2,

Assignments:

   * Issuer: FMC Finance III S.A.

   -- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Assigned (P)Ba3;

   -- LGD Assessment, Assigned LGD5, 74%.

As of March 31, 2007, Fresenius Medical Care had US$5.6 billion
of total debt outstanding.  Based in Bad Homburg, Germany,
Fresenius Medical Care AG is the world's leading provider of
dialysis products and services.  For the fiscal year ended
Dec. 31, 2006, Fresenius Medical Care AG generated net revenues
of US$8.5 billion.

GOETTINGER GRUPPE: Court Opens Insolvency for Finance Unit
----------------------------------------------------------
The District Court of Goettingen opened insolvency proceedings
against Securenta AG, an investment company arm of Goettinger
Gruppe Beteiligungs GmbH on June 11, 2007.

The procedure has created confusion as to which insolvency
practitioner is responsible, a Handelsblatt report carried by
the Financial Times says.

Parts of Goettinger Gruppe filed for insolvency proceedings at
the District Court of Charlottenburg on June 8, as reported in
the TCR-Europe on June 14, 2007.  The Charlottenburg Court
appointed Rolf Rattunde of Leonhardt Westhelle & Partner as
insolvency administrator.

However, after the company moved headquarters from Berlin to
Goettingen, the Goettingen District Court opened insolvency
proceedings and appointed Hamburg-based Peter Knoepfel as
insolvency administrator, Handelsblatt relates.

According to the report, the Goettingen court said that a
creditor's meeting for the company will be held in September.

Handelsblatt relates that Securenta allegedly collected over
EUR1 billion from around 80,000 savers.  The public prosecution
office in Braunschweig is investigating the investment model for
a second time.

Headquartered in Berlin, Germany, Goettinger Gruppe Beteiligungs
GmbH –- http://www.goettinger-gruppe.de/-- is an investment
company, offering savings plans of old age provisions. The
company has been trading since 1980.

HILITE GERMANY: Moody's Junks Second Lien Sr. Secured Term Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned Hilite International, Inc. a
Corporate Family and a Probability of Default rating of B3.  The
outlook is stable.

In a related action Moody's also assigned a B1 rating to the new
first lien senior secured term loan issued by Hilite Germany
GmbH & Co. KG; a B1 rating to the new first lien senior secured
revolving credit issued by Hilite Industries, Inc. (and
Hydraulik-Ring GmbH, as co-borrowers); and a Caa2 rating to the
new second lien senior secured term loan issued by Hilite
Germany GmbH & Co. KG.  These facilities will be used to
refinance Hilite's existing bank credit facilities, subordinated
debt, preferred stock, and to pay related transaction fees.  The
transaction furthers Hilite's progress in recasting its debt
obligations by aligning the debt service requirements with the
company's geographic cash generating capacity.

The ratings reflect the company's weak credit metrics, including
low operating margins and limited interest coverage. Hilite's
stable outlook is supported by the company's stabilized
performance, its portfolio of highly engineered products which
focus on improving engine efficiency, and the company's growing
proportion of revenues from engineered products generated
outside of North America.  While moderate in size, the company's
portfolio of highly engineered products focus on improving
engine efficiency, an area of increasing industry importance.
Hilite's products require joint design with its customers,
resulting in the company being a sole source provider for
approximately 95% its products.  The B3 corporate family rating
reflects the above characteristics and the company's weak credit
metrics which are incorporated into Moody's Auto Supplier Rating
Methodology.

Ratings assigned:

   * Hilite International, Inc.

     -- B3, Corporate Family Rating;
     -- B3, Probability of Default Rating.

   * Hilite Germany GmbH & Co. KG

     -- B1 (LGD2, 29%) to the US$95.0 million first lien senior
        secured term loan;

     -- Caa2 (LGD5, 79%) to the US$70.0 million second lien term
        loan.

   * Hilite Industries, Inc

     -- B1 (LGD2, 29%) to the US$25.0 million multi-currency
        revolving credit facility.

The ratings of the new issues reflect their priority of payout
under Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology.  As a result of
the preponderance of debt being funded at Hilite's European
operations, Moody's Europe, Middle East, and Africa Loss Given
Default Methodology is applied.  The significant impact of the
EMEA LGD Methodology compared to the U.S. methodology is the
senior secured treatment of trade payables.

Hilite, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, is a designer and
manufacturer of highly-engineered, valve-based components,
assemblies, and systems used principally in powertrain (engine
and transmission) applications for the automotive market.  Major
products include camphasers, diesel valves, cylinder
deactivation valves, SCR emissions control units for heavy duty
truck applications, solenoid valves, proportioning valves, and
clutch assemblies.  The company's annual revenues approximate
US$423 million.  Hilite has international locations in France
and Germany.

ALITALIA SPA: Italy Hires Credit Suisse to Evaluate Final Bids
--------------------------------------------------------------
Italy's Finance Ministry has appointed Credit Suisse to conduct
an independent assessment of the bids for the government's 39.9%
stake in Alitalia S.p.A., Reuters reports.

Credit Suisse will evaluate the binding offers of Alitalia's
remaining bidders -- AirOne S.p.A.-Intesa San Paolo S.p.A. and
OAO Aeroflot-Unicredit Italiano S.p.A.

The bidders have until July 2, 2007, to submit binding offers.
Italy, however, is encouraging the parties to unify their bids.

                        About Alitalia

Headquartered in Rome, Italy, Alitalia S.p.A. --
http://www.alitalia.it/-- provides air travel services for
passengers and air transport of cargo on national, international
and inter-continental routes.  The Italian government owns 49.9%
of Alitalia.

Despite a EUR1.4 billion state-backed restructuring in 1997,
Alitalia posted net losses of EUR256 million and EUR907 million
in 2000 and 2001 respectively.  Alitalia registered
EUR93 million in net profits in 2002 after a EUR1.4 billion
capital injection.  The carrier booked consecutive annual net
losses of EUR520 million in 2003, EUR813 million in 2004, and
EUR168 million in 2005.


ALITALIA SPA: AirOne Grumbles over Inadequate Operational Data
--------------------------------------------------------------
The AirOne S.p.A.-Intesa San Paolo consortium is complaining
over lack of adequate information on Alitalia S.p.A.'s
operation, The Irish Times reports citing a source privy to the
bidding process.

AirOne, the source told the Irish Times, wrote to Italian
finance minister Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa bemoaning that it cannot
devise a proper business plan for Alitalia due to limited
information.

As previously reported in the TCR-Europe, final bidders
commenced examining Alitalia's books on May 24, 2007.

The Irish Times suggests that the consortium, along with rival
bidder OAO Aeroflot-Unicredit Italiano S.p.A., also wants access
to Alitalia's legal contracts and other date that would allow
them to assess accurately the profitability of the carrier's
route network.

The consortium has earned the backing of Italy's ruling center-
left coalition, making it a favorite to acquire the government's
39.9% in Alitalia, The Irish Times adds.

Sources told the Irish Times that Alitalia's privatization will
remain on course despite AirOne's complaint.

                      Possible Bankruptcy?

Meanwhile, government ministers shoved off the possibility of
sending Alitalia into bankruptcy following the carrier's
publication of its first quarter results.

As reported in the TCR-Europe on June 15, 2007, Alitalia posted
EUR135 million in net losses for the first quarter of 2007,
compared with EUR159 million in net losses for the same period
in 2006.  The carrier added it is liquid enough to maintain
operations for more than 12 months.

"To speak today of bankruptcy seems out of place to us,"
infrastructure minister Antonio Di Pietro was quoted by the
Irish Times as saying.  "We are working to sell Alitalia to the
best bidder, the one that proposes the best business plan."

The TCR-Europe reported on May 28, 2007, that Alitalia reported
EUR625.6 million in net loss on EUR4.72 billion in operating
revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2006, compared with
EUR176.6 million in net loss on EUR4.8 billion in operating
revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2005.

FIAT SPA: Credit Improvement Cues Fitch to Lift Rating to BBB-
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded Fiat SpA's Long-term Issuer Default
rating and senior unsecured rating to 'BBB-' from 'BB'.  Fiat's
Short-term IDR is upgraded to 'F3' from 'B'.  Following the
upgrade, the Outlook on the Long-term IDR is Stable.

"The upgrade reflects the structural improvement in Fiat's
credit profile over the past couple of years," says Emmanuel
Bulle, Director in Fitch's European Corporates group.
"Consistent improvement in Fiat Auto in particular, and the
continuously positive trend shown in the group's other main
divisions, have enabled Fiat to materially strengthen its
financial profile."

The Stable Outlook is driven by Fitch's expectations that Fiat
will be able to deliver most of its divisional revenue and
operating margin targets in 2007 and 2008.  It also incorporates
the various challenges faced by the group.  Fiat will have to
demonstrate further sustainable improvement to justify further
positive rating action.

The auto division's improvement over the past two years was
mostly attributable to Fiat Group Automobiles' focus on
improving its product mix and product attractiveness as well as
manufacturing efficiencies and the group's successful selective
alliances strategy.  The rejuvenation of the core Fiat brand has
been successful so far, notably with the launch of the Grande
Punto and the popular new Panda.  Similarly, the Alfa brand's
business profile is continuously improving and ambitious targets
have been set.  Fitch is confident that Fiat Auto's solid
product plan (23 new and 23 updated vehicles under the group's
2007-10 business plan) should continue to support growth in the
next couple of years.  Although Fiat Auto is traditionally
positioned in the lower-margin compact and sub-compact segments,
environmental issues and demand for more fuel-efficient vehicles
should continue to fuel growth in these segments.

The group's diversification outside of the auto sector is also a
supporting factor.  Although its commercial vehicles and
agricultural and construction equipment activities face a more
cyclical environment than the auto industry, they offer better
margins and diversification and are decoupled from the auto
cycle.  The group has also the opportunity to benefit from
synergies across these divisions, notably in purchasing and
power-train development.

The success of recent products, cost-saving efforts and
manufacturing efficiencies enabled Fiat Auto's trading margin
excluding financial services to increase to 1% in FY06 from a
negative 1.8% in FY05.  Trading margins at Iveco and CNH also
improved in FY06, thanks to their solid market positions and
early restructuring efforts.  Both divisions have benefited from
increased volumes in favorable markets and better pricing.
Iveco's performance was also boosted by the launch of new
products.  It posted a 6.5% trading margin excluding FS for
FY06, up from 4.5% in FY05.  CNH reported a 5.2% margin
excluding FS, up from 5.0%. Overall, reported industrial trading
margin more than doubled in FY06 to 3.3% while group trading
margin jumped to 3.8% from 2.1% in FY05 and 0.1% in FY04.  Fitch
believes Fiat is on track to post trading margins of 4.5% for
its industrial operations and slightly under 5% for the group in
2007.

Stronger underlying operating margins and higher cash flows from
operations continued to materially strengthen Fiat's financial
structure.  Importantly, its CFO has been supported by, and
should continue to benefit from, higher production through
positive working capital inflows.  Net financial debt from its
industrial operations, adjusted for leases and pension
liabilities and excluding the net fair value of derivatives
instruments, fell to EUR3.3 billion at FYE06 from EUR5.0 billion
at FYE05 and EUR12.0 billion at FYE04.  This led to a
substantial improvement of the industrial operations' adjusted
net debt/EBITDAR ratio to 0.8x at FYE06, compared with 1.6x at
FYE05 and 6.7x at FYE04.

In the medium term, Fitch is cautious about Fiat's 2009 and 2010
forecasts, which it finds somewhat ambitious in light of the
difficult market environment, unabated pricing pressure and
relentless competition.  In addition, Fiat Auto's sales are more
skewed towards its home market than its main competitors and it
is highly dependent on two main markets, Italy and Brazil.
Although Fiat's brand image has substantially improved,
reliability and quality are still lagging behind those of its
main peers.

BEVERAGE PACKAGING: Moody's Puts B1 Rating on Strong Business
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 Corporate Family Rating
to Beverage Packaging Holdings I S.A., a provisional (P)Ba2
rating to the EUR825 million Senior Secured Credit Facilities
with Beverage Packaging Holdings I S.A. as the borrower, a (P)B2
rating to the EUR450 million Senior Notes and a (P)B3 rating to
the EUR320 million Senior Subordinated Notes, both issued by
Beverage Packaging Holdings (Luxembourg) II S.A.  The outlook
for the ratings is stable.

The B1 CFR is based on by SIG's good revenue visibility
underpinned by long-term supply contracts with its customers and
high barriers to switch to another supplier given proprietary
container designs and provision of the filler machines.  It is
further supported by stable end markets, by long term
relationships with leading customers in the beverage and
food industries, the recognized technology and product know-how
and by an experienced management team.

The B1 rating, however, also reflects the reliance on Combibloc
as the main profit contributor of the group and the large
exposure to Europe.  When assigning the rating, Moody's has also
taken into account the threat of substitution from other
packaging substrates as well as the volatile raw material
prices, which may pressure profit margins if passed on to
customers only with material time lags and the possibility that
the strategy of reducing capital and R&D-related investment may
over time erode the future competitiveness of the group, if not
managed appropriately.  Moody's notes that credit metrics are
weak for the assigned B1 rating category, but mitigated by a
relative strong business model and potential for fast
improvements following the targeted debt reduction.

The rating outlook is stable and reflects the expectation that
the company will carry out its expansion plan into growth
regions as contemplated and that it maintains its retention rate
in excess of 85% with regards to contract renewals.  It also
incorporates a swift de-levering by applying free cash flows to
debt repayment.

All new debt instruments will be issued by holding companies
domiciled in Luxembourg with no operating activities.  All these
debt instruments will initially be guaranteed only by the group
holding companies to be complemented by upstream guarantees of
the material operating subsidiaries (latest in February 2008)
representing around 80% of sales, EBITDA and assets.  Until
then, Moody's recognizes the structural subordination of the
rated debt to subsidiary borrowings, but, given the relatively
small size of borrowings, does not expect material notching
implications or deviations from assigned LGD rates/assessments
from the introduction of upstream guarantees.  The guarantees
are expected on a senior basis for the credit facilities and
subordinated for the senior and subordinated notes.  Only the
bank facilities will be secured by a first priority pledge over
fixed and floating charges covering all of the assets of
the future guarantors, which results in a two-notch uplift to
(P)Ba2 from the B1 CFR.  Moody's has assumed that trade claims
will rank pari passu with these secured bank facilities.  As
about half of the group's financial debt is secured, the
unsecured senior notes have been notched down by 1 notch to
(P)B2 and the unsecured senior subordinated notes by 2 notches
to (P)B3 reflecting their ranking as the most junior debt
instrument in the capital structure.

These provisional ratings and LGD rates/assessments were
assigned to the entities:

   -- B1 Corporate Family Rating to Beverage Packaging Holdings
      (Luxembourg) I S.A.

   -- Probability of Default Rating of B1

   * Senior Secured Credit Facilities with Beverage Packaging
      Holdings (Luxembourg) I S.A. as the borrower:

   -- (P)Ba2 EUR85 million Revolving Credit Facility, LGD 22%,
      LGD2;

   -- (P)Ba2 EUR370 million Term Loan B, LGD 22%, LGD2;

   -- (P)Ba2 EUR370 million Term Loan C, LGD 22%, LGD2.

   * Beverage Packaging Holdings (Luxembourg) II S.A. as the
     issuer of:

   -- (P)B2 EUR450 million Senior Notes, LGD 72%, LGD5;

   -- (P)B3 EUR320 million Senior Subordinated Notes, LGD 92%,
      LGD6.

SIG is the number 2 global player after Tetra Pak (not rated) in
the global aseptic market with an estimated market share of
nearly 20% in 2006.  Following a strategic alignment with the
disposal of various activities in 2004 and 2005, the activities
of SIG Holding AG today are focusing on aseptic packaging
products for the food and beverage industries.  SIG in fiscal
year 2006 had sales of approximately EUR1.4 billion to its
customers in more than 40 countries, primarily in Europe (75%)
and increasingly in overseas markets such as Asia (18%), the
U.S. (3%), Rest of Americas (3%) and the Rest of World (1%).

SENSATA TECH: Moody's Holds B2 Rating on Airpax Aquisition
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the ratings of Sensata
Technologies B.V., but changed the outlook to negative from
stable following the company's recent announcement that it
intends to acquire Airpax Holdings, Inc. for US$276 million.
The company's Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-2 is
unchanged.

Sensata's B2 corporate family rating reflects its strong
competitive position, long-standing customer relationships,
significant barriers to competitive entry, and stable free cash
flow generation.  The company continues to benefit from the
favorable trends in increased sensor content per unit for many
of its customers' products.  Yet, these strengths are balanced
against the company's high leverage.  For 2006 adjusted
debt/revenues was almost 200%.  The proposed acquisition will
increase the company's debt levels.  Sensata's increasing levels
of debt and cash interest payments could stress its credit
metrics and hinder the company's financial flexibility in a
downturn.

The negative outlook reflects Sensata's recent announcement that
the company is acquiring Airpax, which will be financed
predominately with debt.  Sensata's decision to acquire Airpax
is a departure from Moody's expectations incorporated into the
existing B2 corporate family rating, which included small to
modest acquisitions.  The Airpax acquisition indicates a more
aggressive financial strategy in which Sensata is open to
relatively large transactions that adds significantly more
incremental debt while increasing the company's overall
leverage.  Furthermore, Sensata must contend with integrating a
sizeable company in addition to its previous acquisitions while
operating as a stand-alone entity.  Additionally, mitigating
material weaknesses identified by management in order to comply
with SEC filing requirements adds additional uncertainty.

Sensata plans to acquire Airpax Holdings, Inc. for US$276
million including fees and expenses.  Sensata may use a portion
of its cash hand for the acquisition.  Airpax designs and
manufactures magnetic circuit breakers and electronic monitoring
and control systems.  Airpax will expand Sensata's end market
diversity within its controls business by allowing the company
to compete more effectively in the telecommunications, military
and aerospace industries.

These ratings/assessments were affected by this action:

   -- Corporate Family Rating affirmed at B2;

   -- Probability-of-default rating affirmed at B2;

   -- Senior secured bank credit facility affirmed at B1 (LGD3,
      33%);

   -- Senior unsecured affirmed at Caa1 (LGD5, 82%); and

   -- Senior subordinate affirmed at Caa1 (LGD6, 93%).

The company's speculative grade liquidity of SGL-2 is unchanged.

Headquartered in Attleboro, Massachusetts, Sensata Technologies
-- http://www.sensata.com/-- is a supplier of sensors and
controls across a range of markets and applications.  The
company has manufacturing locations in Brazil, Mexico, China,
Japan and the Netherlands.  Sensata Technologies employs
approximately 5,400 people world-wide.

ELEKTRIM S.A.: Bondholders to Receive EUR500 Mln, Court Rules
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bingham McCutchen LLP recently obtained judgment for the EUR510
million bondholders of Polish conglomerate Elektrim S.A., after
a hearing before Mr. Justice Lewison in the High Court of
England and Wales.

The decision, issued on June 15, 2007, represents a significant
victory for bondholders after almost five years of litigation
around the world, including Poland, the Netherlands, Germany and
more recently the United States.  Lewison J directed the bond
trustee, The Law Debenture Trust Corporation plc, to distribute
forthwith to the bondholders more than EUR500 million.

Importantly for future cases, the judge also endorsed a
bondholder resolution providing for the bondholder committee to
recover nearly EUR7 million of legal costs incurred over the
past five years in litigation to recover their investment.

“This is an important decision, both for the bondholders of
Elektrim and for the bond market generally,” Bingham litigation
partner Natasha Harrison said.  “The decision provides welcome
clarity in relation to trustee obligations in general and more
specifically in connection with the operation of trust deeds in
the sphere of bond issues.  All credit to the bondholder group
for pursuing what has been a complex and hard-fought piece of
litigation through to its successful conclusion.”

“The Elektrim bondholders have been kept waiting for their money
far too long,” James Roome, co-head of Financial Restructuring
at Bingham, said.  “Out-of-date bond structures have made it
very hard for investors to pursue recoveries on their bonds.
This judgment allows an immediate payment to bondholders and a
fair allocation of bondholder committee expenses.”

Despite receiving EUR525 million on Oct. 26, 2006, the bond
trustee refused to distribute the money to bondholders in the
face of unsubstantiated concerns about potential liability.
These proceedings were commenced at the behest of bondholders,
for declarations as to the meaning of the trust deed and
directions that the bond trustee distribute the money.

The Bingham team was headed by partners Roome and Harrison, who
were assisted by London associates Suzi Mills, Liz Osborne and
Giles Mildred.  Counsel to the bondholders were Sue Prevezer QC
and Edmund King both of Essex Court chambers.

Headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, Elektrim S.A. --
http://www.elektrim.pl/-- engages in the power and
telecommunication businesses.  In addition to its core business
activities, Elektrim also manufactures sells cables, and
provides data transmission services.

In November 2005, an English court rejected Elektrim's appeal on
a decision declaring it in breach of bond conditions.  The Court
ordered Elektrim in September 2005 to immediately buy back
EUR471.4 million of bonds for having broken a restructuring
agreement signed in 2002.  Holders demanded immediate buyout of
their bonds, which was worth EUR470 million.  Elektrim was
due to redeem the bonds on Dec. 15, 2005, but failed.

Elektrim said it was impossible to redeem the bonds since the
court has frozen its assets.  Bondholders filed the motion to
freeze Elektrim's assets, fearing the group would hide its
assets and declare bankruptcy to avoid repaying its debt.  The
company said it would repay the debt if the collateral were
cancelled.

On Sept. 29, 2006, Elektrim filed a bankruptcy petition with the
possibility of an arrangement, five days before its creditors
were set to launch a lawsuit over the bankruptcy.  Creditors
were demanding the company's liquidation and the introduction of
an official bankruptcy assignee since they have not received
payments from the company for nearly two years.

In a TCR-Europe report on Nov. 2, 2006, a Court in Warsaw
rejected the bankruptcy petition for Elektrim S.A. filed by the
company's creditors and Elektrim Telekomunikacja, following a
partial repayment of the company's debt.

Under an option agreement, Elektrim sold its 48% stake in Polska
Telefonia Cyfrowa to Deutsche Telekom for EUR604 million.
Deutsche Telekom, however, paid the amount to a Vienna
arbitration court.

On Oct. 26, 2006, Elektrim received EUR525 million of the amount
and used it to repay its bondholders.  The partial repayment
prompted the Warsaw Court to dismiss the bankruptcy petition the
next day.


SMITHFIELD FOODS: Moody's Rates US$500 Mln New Sr. Notes at Ba3
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a rating of Ba3 to the new
US$500 million senior unsecured notes of Smithfield Foods, Inc.

The company's other ratings, including its Ba2 corporate family
rating and Ba2 Probability of Default rating, were affirmed.
The rating outlook remains negative.

Rating assigned:

   -- US$500 million senior unsecured notes at Ba3 (LGD5, 82%)

Ratings affirmed:

   -- Corporate family rating at Ba2;
   -- Probability of default rating at Ba2;
   -- Senior unsecured debt at Ba3 (LGD5, 82%);
   -- Senior subordinated debt at B1 (LGD6,97%);
   -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating of SGL-3.

The new senior unsecured notes, like the existing senior
unsecured notes, are rated one notch below the corporate family
rating because of the significant amount of unrated senior debt
that benefits from security and from the guarantees of certain
domestic subsidiaries.

The rating affirmation is based on Moody's expectation that the
company's credit metrics will strengthen as Smithfield
integrates recent acquisitions which have boosted the company's
scale and diversification.

Smithfield's Ba2 corporate family rating reflects the company's
high leverage, somewhat volatile earnings and cash flow stream,
aggressive acquisition strategy, and increasingly complex
business structure.  It also reflects the integration risks that
Smithfield faces as it consolidates a series of acquisitions
made over the past year, as well as higher-than-average event
risk of additional leveraged acquisitions within the
consolidating protein industry. Furthermore, ratings reflect
concerns over some aspects of Smithfield's corporate governance.
Smithfield's ratings are supported by the company's large size,
very strong market position, increasing geographic and product
diversity, and solid brand in the US pork industry.

Moody's considers Smithfield's ratings in the context of the key
rating drivers cited in Moody's Rating Methodology for Global
Natural Products Processors -- Protein and Agriculture.  Using
the methodology's 22 rating factors as well as pro forma and
projected metrics which account for recent acquisitions, fully
and proportionally consolidate material joint ventures, and
incorporate Moody's standard analytic adjustments, Smithfield's
rating would be B1 which is two notches lower than its actual
Ba2 corporate family rating.  Moody's believes that over the
intermediate term, Smithfield's recent acquisitions will create
a stronger, more diversified protein processing business which
should help it increase operating margins and cash flow
stability.

The negative rating outlook reflects the challenges Smithfield
faces in integrating its recent acquisitions, notably Premium
Standard Farms, and managing a more complex business portfolio
while simultaneously attempting to reduce debt and increase
financial flexibility.  It also reflects the continued event
risk of additional leveraged acquisitions as the company pursues
its global growth strategy.

Smithfield Foods Inc., headquartered in Smithfield, Virginia, is
the largest vertically integrated producer and marketer of fresh
pork and processed meat in the U.S. and has operating
subsidiaries and joint ventures in Brazil, Mexico, China
France, Poland, Romania, and the U.K.  Sales for the fiscal year
ended April 29, 2007 exceeded US$11.9 billion.

COMMERCIAL BANK: Moody's Rates Foreign Currency Debt at B1/NP
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a long-term foreign currency
debt rating of B1 and a short-term foreign currency debt rating
of Not-Prime to the program for the issuance of loan
participation notes, to be issued on a limited recourse basis by
Renaissance Consumer Funding Limited for the sole purpose of
extending a loan to Commercial Bank "Renaissance Capital", LLC.
The outlook for the ratings is stable.

At the same time, a long-term foreign currency debt rating of B1
(stable outlook) is assigned to the first drawdown under this
program.  The amount of debt to be issued and the tenor of the
notes have yet to be determined.

The B1 rating is based on CBRC's Baseline Credit Assessment of
B2 and a moderate probability of support from the larger
Renaissance Group, particularly its investment banking segment
(Renaissance Capital Holding Limited, which has Ba3 long-term
local and foreign currency issuer ratings), the largest segment
of the group.

The holders of the notes will rely for repayment solely and
exclusively on the ability of CBRC to make payments under the
loan agreement.  CBRC is currently rated B1/Not Prime for long-
and short-term foreign and local currency deposits, and E+ for
financial strength.  All CBRC's ratings carry stable outlooks.

The obligations of CBRC to make payments under the loan
agreement will rank at all times at least pari-passu with the
claims of all other unsecured creditors of the borrower, except
for those whose claims are preferred by any bankruptcy,
insolvency, liquidation or similar laws of general application.
Moody's notes that Russia is, in general, a country with
individual depositor preferences, which may reduce the recovery
rates for bondholders, especially if such deposits were to
represent a sizeable proportion of a bank's liabilities in the
event of liquidation.

According to the terms and conditions of the loan agreement,
CBRC shall maintain a ratio of Capital to Risk Weighted Assets
of not less than 12%, a ratio of exposure to any single borrower
to net asset value of not more than 20% and a ratio of funded
exposure to any single borrower to net asset value of not more
than 10%.  The bank must also comply with a number of other
covenants such as negative pledge, limitations on any
reorganization, disposals and transactions with affiliates.

The bondholders will benefit from a put option in the event of a
change of control if Renaissance Group ceases to own a
controlling stake.

Commercial Bank Renaissance Capital is located in Moscow,
Russia, and reported total assets and total net assets
attributable to participants of US$642 million and US$115
million, respectively, under IFRS as of March 31, 2007.  The
bank is solely focused on consumer finance with services
specializing in sales finance, auto loans, mortgages, general-
purpose loans and credit cards.
Renaissance Consumer Funding Limited is a special purpose
vehicle domiciled in Ireland that was established for this
transaction.

FIRST CZECH: Moody's Assigns B3/Not-Prime/E+ Ratings
----------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned first-time B3/Not-Prime local
currency deposit ratings, B3/Not-Prime foreign currency deposit
ratings, and an E+ Bank Financial Strength Rating to Russia's
First Czech Russian Bank.  The outlooks on all ratings are
stable.

At the same time, Moody's Interfax Rating Agency affirmed the
bank's Baa2.ru long-term national scale credit rating.  Moscow-
based Moody's Interfax is majority-owned by Moody's.

According to Moody's, the E+ BFSR, which translates into a
Baseline Credit Assessment of B3, is supported by FCRB's
satisfactory financial indicators.  The bank's insignificant
level of credit losses and strong capital position are main
factors which underpin its BFSR.  At the same time, the BFSR
also takes into account the bank's high dependency on the
volatile Russian operating environment, which constrains the
ratings of all banks in the country, as well as the bank's
undeveloped franchise.

FCRB's limited franchise value derives primarily from the fact
that until recently it has been a captive bank of OJSC
Stroytransgaz, one of the leading contractors of OJSC Gazprom,
the world's largest integrated gas company.  In January 2006,
OJSC Stroytransgaz, which was FCRB's largest shareholder sold
its 35.03% stake in the bank.  At the same time, FCRB's new
strategy focused on retail segment penetration, and territorial
expansion was adopted.  In Moody's opinion, if implementation of
this strategy results in a material increase in the FCRB's
retail market share, it could have positive implications for the
bank's deposit rating of B3.

Further limiting FCRB's BFSR is its high risk positioning,
particularly large single-party concentration of the loan
portfolio, and its significant market risk appetite,
particularly with regard to its relatively large proprietary
position in equity securities.

The local currency deposit rating assigned to FCRB is supported
by the bank's Baseline Credit Assessment of B3 and does not
factor in any support from its shareholders.  In Moody's view,
although such support cannot be ruled out, its scope and
timeliness are rather uncertain, while systemic support in the
event of need is unlikely.  The foreign currency deposit rating
is assigned at the same level as the bank's local currency
deposit rating and is not constrained by Russia's country
ceiling for foreign currency deposits.

First Czech Russian bank is headquartered in Moscow and reported
total assets of US$586 million under IFRS on Dec. 31, 2006.

however, declined to comment.

confirmed that part of his research team had resigned, Reuters
relates.

Meanwhile, a Kommersant source revealed that Vladimir Bril, MDM

department, has left the company.

“There is a yawing personnel deficit in investment banking now,
especially in senior positions,” Sergey Vorobyev, chief
executive at the Ward Howell International headhunting firm,
said.

Kommersant says there is a stiff competition for skilled labor
due to the growth of Russian businesses and emergence of foreign
investment banks in the country.

AIR MADRID: National Court Snubs Fraud Case vs. Top Executives
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Fernando Grande Marlaska of Spain's National Court
dismissed the fraud charges filed by the Organization of
Consumers and Users against top executives of Air Madrid
Lineas Aereas S.A., The Financial Times reports.

As reported in the TCR-Europe on April 10, 2007, OCU filed the
fraud charges against Jose Luis Carrillo, chairman of Air
Madrid, and three other top executives -- Julio Miguel Martinez
Sola, Silvia Avelar Bravo and Juan Barjau Romero.

The consumer group alleged that Air Madrid continued to sell
tickets although it was aware that the Spanish authorities would
revoke its flying license.

Pedro Perez-Ocana, who represents Mr. Carillo, said the ruling
proves that OCU's complaint was "notoriously unjust" and shows
“what the conduct of the executives was."

Mr. Perez-Ocana argued that 90% of money from ticket sales
between November and December 2006 was collected by travel
agencies and was in the possession of the International Air
Transport Association until Air Madrid entered bankruptcy
proceedings, FT adds.

The lawyer stressed that since Air Madrid's administrators "did
not have the money," "at no time" could fraud have taken place.

                              Appeal

OCU, meanwhile, said it was surprised with the judge's decision,
adding that the investigation showed that ticket holders were
indeed defrauded, FT relates.

OCU warned that the ruling might lead aggrieved ticket holders
to sue the Spanish government, since it stated that “the
government was permissive" with Air Madrid.

As previously reported in the TCR-Europe, Air Madrid shut down
its operations on Dec. 15, 2006, leaving 330,000 passengers
stranded in Latin America and Spain.  The Spanish government had
been investigating the company's operations due to constant
customer claims of poor service that resulted in the
cancellation of its permit to operate.  The budget airline had
been under scrutiny for delays that have kept hundreds of
passengers in airports for days.

Air Madrid didn't show any intention of refunding tickets and it
is unknown if and when the carrier's operations will resume.

Headquartered in Madrid, Spain, Air Madrid Lineas Aereas S.A. --
http://www.airmadrid.com/-- operated 10 aircraft in its fleet.
Up until its shutdown, it operated routes to Spain and Latin
America.


TDA CAM 9: Moody's Junks EUR15 Million Series D Notes
-----------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned provisional ratings to six
series of Bonos de Titulizacion de Activos to be issued by TDA
CAM 9 Fondo de Titulizacion de Activos, a Spanish asset
securitisation fund that has been created by Titulizacion de
Activos, S.G.F.T., S.A.  Moody's has assigned these ratings:

   -- (P)Aaa to the EUR 250.0 million Series A1 notes;
   -- (P)Aaa to the EUR 943.5 million Series A2 notes;
   -- (P)Aaa to the EUR 230.0 million Series A3 notes;
   -- (P)Aa3 to the EUR 48.0 million Series B notes;
   -- (P)Baa2 to the EUR 28.5 million Series C notes; and
   -- (P)Ca to the EUR 15.0 million Series D notes.

The provisional ratings address the expected loss posed to
investors by the legal final maturity (April 28, 2050).  In
Moody's opinion, the structure allows for timely payment of
interest and ultimate payment of principal on Series A1, A2, A3,
B and C at par, on or before the final legal maturity date and
for ultimate payment of interest an principal at par on or
before the final legal maturity date on Series D.  Other non-
credit risks have not been addressed, but may have a significant
effect on yield to investors.

As of June 2007, the portfolio comprised 16,722 loans,
representing a provisional portfolio of €2,222,137,841, granted
by Caja de Ahorros del Mediterraneo in its normal course of
business mainly to finance the purchase or renovation of
residential properties.  The loans consist on first-lien
mortgages on residential properties, all of which are covered by
property damage and fire insurance.  At closing, all the loans
will have paid at least two installments and there will be no
loans more than 30 days in arrears. T he original weighted
average LTV is 74.90%, while the current WALTV is 72.58%.  The
average loan size is EUR133,379.  The loans were originated
between 1995 and March 2007, resulting in a weighted average
seasoning of 1.3 years. 99.53% of the portfolio pays through
monthly instalments, which are debited to accounts held by
the debtors at CAM.

According to Moody's, this deal benefits from several strong
features, including:

   (1) Interest Rate Swap provided by CAM which guarantees 65
       bps excess spread plus the servicing fees in case of CAM
       being replaced as servicer;

   (2) a reserve fund that is fully funded upfront from Series D
       issuance, to cover potential shortfalls in interest and
       principal;

   (3) a 12-month artificial write-off mechanism which allows
       excess spread trapping;

   (4) the fact that all the loans are secured by a first-lien
       mortgage guarantees.

Weaker features include:

   (1) the inclusion of some high LTV loans in the portfolio
       (34.21% of the portfolio over 80% LTV), which leads to a
       higher expected default frequency and more sever expected
       losses;

   (2) the strong geographical concentration in the region of
       Valencia, which is a consequence of the originator's
       position as one of the main savings banks within this
       region;

   (3) the fact that pro rata amortization of Classes B and C
       leads to reduced credit enhancement of the senior series
       in absolute terms; and

   (4) the negative impact of the interest deferral trigger on
       Classes B and C which increases the expected loss on the
       subordinated series.  These issues have been reflected in
       Moody's Credit Enhancement calculation.

Moody's based its ratings on:

   (1) an evaluation of the underlying portfolio of mortgage
       loans securing the structure, and

   (2) the transaction's structural protections, which include
       the subordinated position of Series B and C with respect
       to Series A1, A2 and A3, the strength of the cash flows
       and any excess spread available to cover losses.

Moody's issues provisional ratings in advance of the final sale
of financial instruments, but these ratings only represent
Moody's preliminary credit opinions.  Upon a conclusive review
of the transaction and associated documentation, the rating
agency will endeavor to assign a definitive rating.  A
definitive rating, if any, may differ from a provisional rating.


TDA CAM 9: Fitch Assigns Junk Ratings to EUR15 Mln Class D Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings assigned expected ratings to TDA CAM 9, Fondo de
Titulizacion de Activos' EUR1,515 million mortgage-backed
floating-rate notes due in April 2050:

   -- EUR250 million Class A1: 'AAA'; Outlook Stable
   -- EUR943.5 million Class A2: 'AAA'; Outlook Stable
   -- EUR230 million Class A3: 'AAA'; Outlook Stable
   -- EUR48 million Class B: 'A'; Outlook Stable
   -- EUR28.5 million Class C: 'BBB'; Outlook Stable
   -- EUR15 million Class D: 'CCC'; Outlook Stable

This transaction is a cash flow securitization of a EUR1.5
billion static pool of first-ranking Spanish mortgage loans
originated and serviced by Caja de Ahorros del Mediterraneo
(rated 'A+'/Outlook Stable/'F1').  The final ratings are
contingent on the receipt of final documents conforming to
information already received.

The expected ratings are based on the quality of the collateral,
the underwriting and servicing of the mortgage loans, available
credit enhancement, the integrity of the transaction's legal and
financial structure and Titulizacion de Activos S.A., S.G.F.T.'s
administrative capabilities.

Initial CE for the Class A to C notes will be provided by
subordination and a reserve fund, which will be funded at
closing using part of the proceeds from the issuance of the
notes.  The Class D notes are uncollateralized but will benefit
from cash released from the amortization of the reserve fund.
This transaction stands out with the concentration in the
Valencia region and other Mediterranean coastal areas.

The expected ratings address the payment of interest on the
notes according to the terms and conditions of the
documentation, subject to a deferral trigger on the Class B and
C notes, which entails that interest on these notes might not be
received during a period of time, as well as the repayment of
principal at legal final maturity.

Spanish Securitisation Law 19/1992 and Royal Decree 926/1998
regulates the fund.  Its sole purpose will be to transform into
fixed-income securities a portfolio of mortgage participations
and mortgage certificates acquired from CAM.  The PHs and CTHs
will be subscribed by Titulizacion de Activos S.A., S.G.F.T.
whose sole function is to manage asset-backed notes on behalf of
the fund.


TDA CAM 9: S&P Junks EUR15 Million Class D Notes
------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its preliminary
credit ratings to the EUR1,515 million mortgage-backed floating-
rate notes to be issued by TDA CAM 9, Fondo de Titulizacion de
Activos.

This will be the ninth securitization of Caja de Ahorros del
Mediterraneo's residential mortgage loans and the third RMBS
transaction originated by CAM to be rated by Standard & Poor's.
CAM is also an experienced participant in SMEs and covered bonds
securitizations.

In this transaction, CAM will securitize part of its residential
mortgage-lending book.  The loans, mainly originated in
Valencia, Catalonia, and Murcia, represent first-ranking
securities.

The issuer will enter into an interest rate swap agreement with
CAM to counteract any basis risk due to the various indexes of
the pool and the reference interest rate of the notes.  The swap
agreement will pay three-month EURIBOR plus the weighted-average
margin on the class A, B, and C notes, plus an additional spread
of 0.65%, and the servicer fees if the servicer is replaced.

On each quarterly interest payment date, the issuer will pay in
arrears the interest due to the noteholders.  For these
payments, the issuer will have as available funds the proceeds
of the interest rate swap, interest earned on the GIC, the
reserve fund, and, if necessary, principal received under the
mortgage loans and any other proceeds received in connection
with the mortgage loans.

As in other Spanish transactions, interest and principal from
the mortgages will be combined into a single priority of
payments, with principal deficiency triggers in the payment of
the interest to protect senior noteholders.

QUEBECOR WORLD: Moody's Holds B2 Rating on Weak Performance
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Quebecor World Inc.'s
speculative grade liquidity rating to SGL-4 (indicating weak
liquidity) from SGL-3 (indicating adequate liquidity).

At the same time, Moody's also affirmed the company's B2
corporate family rating.  The senior unsecured ratings for
subsidiary companies, Quebecor World Capital Corporation and
Quebecor World Capital ULC, were also affirmed at the prevailing
B2 rating level, as was the prevailing Caa1 senior subordinated
rating for Quebecor World (USA) Inc.  The outlook continues to
be negative.

While first quarter results were quite weak and could signal
that credit protection measures will be adversely affected by
difficulties encountered in implementing the company's five
point transformation plan, and consequently, given cash consumed
to fund the initiatives, QWI's financial performance, coverage
and leverage may continue to deteriorate over the next six to
twelve months, it is not yet conclusive that this is the case.

As background, QWI is confronted by very challenging industry
conditions, including overcapacity, declining pricing, revenues
and profits.  A bi-product of these conditions is very poor
forward-looking visibility of future performance.  While the
lack of visibility is, taken on its own, a concern, and causes
significant uncertainty related to the five point transformation
plan's effectiveness in restoring profitability and improving
credit protection measures, the current range of expected
outcomes continues to support the prevailing B2 rating.

However, over the very near term, there appears to be risk that
underlying performance may generate financial statistics that
are at odds with those specified in the company's bank credit
facility, implying that QWI may have to negotiate with its
lenders so as to assure ongoing access to third party credit and
the requisite resources to complete transformation initiatives.
Moody's views this risk as being sufficient to warrant
downgrading QWI's speculative grade liquidity rating to SGL-4.
As well, given the above factors, the outlook for all of the
group's long term debt ratings continues to be negative.

Downgrades:

   * Issuer: Quebecor World, Inc.

   -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Downgraded to SGL-4
      from SGL-3.

Financial results recorded over the past two quarters are
extremely difficult to interpret.  While the company has
apparently accelerated re-tooling activities, capital
expenditure levels have not increased as one would have expected
given that background.  Conversely, restructuring expenses, so-
called "IAROC", have surged quite markedly.  In both cases, the
results are counter to what one would expect at this stage of
the company's transformation plan.  When combined with erratic
sequential revenue and EBITDA generation (even after taking into
account expected seasonality), it is exceedingly difficult to
gauge progress against expected milestones.  Results from Q4-06
and Q1-07 provide no insight into whether QWI's five-point plan
is delivering any tangible benefits.

Consequently, Moody's expects QWI's TD/EBITDA measure at the end
of 2007 to exceed 7x, (EBITDA-CapEx)/Interest to continue to be
below 1x, and FCF generation to be materially negative.  Given
the uncertain environment and execution risks related to the
transformation plan, it is unclear whether these measures will
improve during 2008.

ORDU YARDIMLASMA: Moody's Holds B2 Rating on Investment Disposal
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the Ba2 corporate family
ratings and the Ba2 PD rating of Ordu Yardimlasma Kurumu
following the announcement that it had reached agreement with
ING Bank (rated Aa1/P-1/B) to sell Oyak Bank (rated B1/NP/D+)
for US$2.673 billion (approximately TL3.5 billion) in cash.  The
outlook is stable.

The transaction, which remains subject to approval of the
relevant authorities, is expected to be completed during the
second half of 2007.

Moody's said that Oyak's Ba2 ratings had already factored in
that the Group had indicated it would consider selling either a
stake in Oyak Bank, or disposing of its 100% interest entirely.
The rating affirmation balances the positive impact that the
cash proceeds will have on the Institution's financial risk
profile with the altered business risk profile implied by the
disposal of one of its most significant investments.  Moody's
said that on a pro forma basis Oyak's end-2006 net debt position
of approximately TL500 million (gross debt of TL1.6 billion and
cash and liquid resources of TL1.1 billion), would be
transformed into a substantial net cash positive position
following the receipt of proceeds from the sale.

More cautiously, Moody's added that the Ba2 rating factors in
its expectation that Oyak would aim to re-invest at least part
of the proceeds, in line with its mandate to safeguard its
members' assets, maintain its actuarial balance and maximize
returns for members.  In that regard, Moody's noted that there
is currently no indication as to the nature, extent or timing of
any such potential investment.  Nor is it known at this time how
Oyak's members will choose to allocate the extraordinary
capital gain realized from disposal of the bank.  The
affirmation therefore assumes that in the event the proceeds
from the disposal of Oyak Bank were to be re-invested, the
Group's business and financial risk profile would remain aligned
with the existing Ba2 rating category assumptions.

Ordu Yardimlasma Kurumu, based in Ankara, Turkey, is the private
top-up pension fund of the Turkish Military, and reported total
member reserves of TL4.1 billion at end-200

RODOVID: Fitch Rates IDR at B- on Weak Profitability
----------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings assigned Ukraine-based Bank Rodovid ratings of
Long-term Issuer Default 'B-', Short-term Issuer Default 'B',
Support '5', Support Rating Floor 'No floor', Individual 'D/E'
and National Long-term 'BBB-(ukr)'.  The Outlooks on both Long-
term Issuer Default and National Long-term ratings are Stable.

The ratings reflect RB's small and still developing franchise,
concentrated balance sheet, weak profitability and potentially
vulnerable liquidity.  The ratings also consider the high credit
and operational risks associated with its rapid loan growth and
weaknesses in the operating environment.

However, the ratings also take into account RB's currently low
loan impairment levels, adequate capitalization and growing
infrastructure, which will support the bank's ambitious
expansion plans.  Fitch notes the relatively short track record
of underwriting and risk management systems set up in 2005,
which will be tested by the bank's rapid business growth.

Since 2004, after it was acquired by its current core
shareholders, RB has followed a strategy of rapid growth
focusing on the retail segment.  Express loans (loans at point-
of-sale outlets and credit cards) represent a moderate share of
loans - 8% at YE06 and forecast 12% for YE07 - while other loans
to individuals are collateralized.  However, Fitch notes the
overall high-risk profile of the rapidly growing retail book,
with loans to individuals set to dominate the bank's assets by
2008.  Loans in 'doubtful' and 'loss' risk categories (impaired
loans) are low, at present, as a percentage of the portfolio.
However, the portfolio is mainly unseasoned and credit quality
problems may be revealed at a later stage, giving rise to higher
loan impairment levels.  To address this, RB is changing its
currently less conservative provisioning policy to increase
impaired loans cover.  Corporate lending is concentrated by
borrower, but, with the diversification into retail segment,
this is on a downward trend relative to the loan book as a whole
and equity.

RB is about to complete a new share issue, which will increase
its capital base by an additional US$123 million and support the
Basel I total capital adequacy ratio at the targeted level of
15%-17% in 2007.  In Fitch's opinion, capitalization will be
under strain in the short- to medium-term as a result of rapid
growth and significant capital expenditures.  In view of RB's
currently modest earning capacity, additional injections from
the shareholders may be required for the bank to adhere to the
above target.  Fitch has been informed that the owners may
consider looking for a strategic investor, although there are no
concrete plans to date.

Upward potential for the bank's ratings is limited at the moment
but could result from the successful development of the
franchise, coupled with acceptable asset quality and a notable
improvement in profitability. Downward pressure could arise
mainly from any substantial weakening in asset quality or
capitalization or liquidity squeezes.

RB (formerly Percombank) was founded in 1990 in Kiev, Ukraine.
Since 2004 the bank has been majority-owned by a group of five
individuals, including two senior managers holding the largest
individual stakes.  The bank's market share is currently modest
at only 1% of sector assets and its network includes 98 sub-
branches and 205 POS, but the latter is set to grow
significantly in 2007.  Lending to individuals is RB's primary
business focus.

ALBA 2007-1: Moody's Rates GBP20.4 Million Class F Notes at Ba2
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned definitive credit ratings to
these classes of Notes issued by Alba 2007-1 Plc:

   -- Aaa to the GBP101.2 million Class A1a Mortgage Backed
      Floating Rate Notes due 2039;

   -- Aaa to the EUR190 million Class A1b Mortgage Backed
      Floating Rate Notes due 2039;

   -- Aaa to the GBP231.1 million Class A2 Mortgage Backed
      Floating Rate Notes due 2039;

   -- Aaa to the GBP269 million Class A3 Mortgage Backed
      Floating Rate Notes due 2039;

   -- Aa2 to the GBP105.8 million Class B Mortgage Backed
      Floating Rate Notes due 2039;

   -- Ba2 to the GBP20.4 million Class F Mortgage Backed
      Floating Rate Notes due 2039;

   -- Aaa to the Mortgage Early Redemption Certificates due
      2039.

Moody's has not assigned ratings to the Class C, Class D, or
Class E Notes.  Moody's previously assigned Provisional ratings
to the Notes on April 27, 2007.  Moody's did not assign a
Provisional rating on the Class F Notes.

This transaction represents the fourth securitization
transaction by Oakwood Homeloans Limited.  The collateral was
originated by GMAC-RFC.

The ratings of the Notes are based upon an analysis of the
characteristics of the mortgage pool backing the Notes, the
protection the Notes receive from credit enhancement against
defaults and arrears in the mortgage pool, and the legal and
structural integrity of the issue.  The credit enhancement
available in the deal is provided in the form of excess
spread, reserve fund (fully funded at 1.02% of original note
balance at closing—this in an increase from the 0.95% that the
deal launched with and that the Provisional ratings were based
on) and subordination of the Class B, C, D, E and F Notes.
Subject to certain conditions being met, the reserve fund may
amortize up to a floor of 0.60% of the original Note balance.

The ratings address the expected loss posed to investors by the
legal final maturity.  In Moody's opinion, the structure allows
for timely payment of interest and ultimate payment of principal
at par 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.

The Mortgage Early Redemption Certificates are backed solely
by mortgage early redemption charges that may become payable by
borrowers in the pool on early redemption of their loans within
a certain period.  The Aaa rating on the MERCs addresses the
likelihood of receipt by MERC holders of such amounts if they
are received by the Issuer.  It assumes, without any independent
investigation:

   (i) that payment of the mortgage early redemption charges
       under the mortgage loans is legally valid, binding and
       enforceable; and

  (ii) that such amounts are actually collected from borrowers
       and received by the Issuer.  The amount receivable by
       MERC holders also depends on prepayment rates within the
       pool.  The rating does not address such prepayment rates.


CABLE & WIRELESS: Leading Shareholders Oppose Pay Proposals
-----------------------------------------------------------
Leading shareholders of Cable & Wireless plc are opposing the
company's plan to include Chairman Richard Lapthorne in a
performance-related incentive scheme, saying the move
contravenes corporate governance best practice, Kate Burgess
writes for The Financial Times.

According to the report, the shareholders intend to vote against
the re-election of Mr. Lapthorne at next month's general meeting
in protest.

The shareholders are also against proposals to scrap a GBP20
million cap on individual bonuses for top executives introduced
last year, FT relates.

The telecoms company, however, believes that "the proposed
changes are in the best interests of all shareholders and will
receive the requisite support at the  AGM.”

As previously reported in the TCR-Europe on June 7, 2007 the
proposed changes to Mr. Lapthorne's contract include:

    * fixed contract to January 2009 to be replaced by
      a standard contract with 12 months' notice on either
      side and annual re-election, with immediate effect;

    * award of up to 5.5 million shares on demanding
      performance criteria, within an existing Cable &
      Wireless share scheme.  Zero shares vest for
      total shareholder return at the mid point of
      the comparator group of companies in the FTSE
      Global Telecoms Index, through to 100% vesting
      for performance in the top ten percent of this
      comparator group, on a straight line scale.  The award
      is based on a three year performance period,
      starting from the date of the award on June 6, 2007.
      The award will be deferred for   one year if
      earlier vesting is triggered by an event such as a sale
      of a business unit or demerger, apart from in
      exceptional circumstances.  The award is conditional
      on the Chairman's re-election at the Cable & Wireless
      Annual General Meeting on July 20, 2007;

    * the Chairman's personal holding of 3.5 million shares
      to be retained for the duration of his appointment; and

    * no change to his current salary or fee arrangements,
      which include a salary of GBP386,000 per annum, but
      no bonus or pension payments.

"The Board considered it a priority to secure Richard's
continuing contribution to the turnaround and transformation of
our business beyond his current fixed term,” Cable & Wireless
Senior Non-Executive Director Clive Butler said.  "He has played
a key role to date and will do so in the future as we develop
and execute our strategies and continue to create long-term
value."

The proposed changes to the Long Term Incentive Plan are:

    * removal of the GBP20 million cap on the amount that can
      be received by an individual;

    * Cable & Wireless to have the option to make some or all
      of any reward in excess of GBP20 million in the form
      of Cable and Wireless plc shares, rather than cash;

    * Cable & Wireless to have the option to defer rewards
      over GBP20 million for up to one year in the case of
      an earlier vesting event or at the end of the
      LTIP performance period i.e. until April 2011; and

    * any individual to hold one times their salary in Cable
      and Wireless plc shares (in addition to any
      shareholding at April 1, 2007) once their reward pool
      is GBP15 million or above, if removal of the cap is
      to apply to that individual.  This will
      significantly increase the amount of personal capital
      tied up in Cable & Wireless shares.

CORNERSTONE TITAN: Interest Shortfall Cues S&P to Keep Watch
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has placed its 'BB' rating on
the class F notes in the Cornerstone Titan 2005-1 PLC
transaction on CreditWatch with negative implications.  The
ratings on the other classes in the transaction are unaffected.

This rating action follows an interest shortfall of GBP20,677 at
the October 2006 interest payment date, a result of a mismatch
between the number of days in the loan interest payment period
and the note interest payment period.

As a result, the interest on the assets was not enough to pay
the interest on the liabilities.

The interest has been deferred until a date when there are
available funds to pay the class F noteholders.  However, as
this transaction incorporates a class X, which absorbs excess
spread, there will not be sufficient funds to pay the deferred
interest during the lifetime of the transaction, thus resulting
in a default on the junior notes.

The CreditWatch negative placement on the class F notes is
exacerbated by the length of time that has elapsed since the
shortfall without the situation being rectified.

Standard & Poor's understands that the transaction parties are
now aware of the interest shortfall and are exploring ways to
rectify the situation.

The class F notes have an available funds cap, under which
interest shortfalls that occur as a result of prepayments are
not deferred to subsequent payment dates but are extinguished.

On June 7, 2007, a bulletin was published regarding a similar
interest shortfall issue in another CMBS transaction, Perseus
(European Loan Conduit No. 22) PLC.

The shortfall was also as a result of reset date mismatches.
However, the bulletin noted that the rating on the shorted class
D notes would not be affected at that time as the shortfall
occurred at the most recent interest payment date (in April
2007) and the transaction parties are currently rectifying the
situation.

Cornerstone Titan 2005-1 closed on Oct. 13, 2005 and was
originated by Credit Suisse and GMAC Commercial Mortgage Bank
Europe PLC.  The notes were backed by a pool of nine loans
secured by 70 commercial properties in the U.K.  The last
loan maturity date falls in July 2012, and the final legal
maturity date of the issued notes is July 28, 2014.

To date, the original balance of GBP591.89 million has amortized
by 25% to GBP446.57 million.  There have been two loan
prepayments and 38 properties remain in the portfolio.


DUKE 2002: Moody's Lifts Ba2 Rating on EUR21.7 Mln Class E Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded these classes of Notes issued
by DUKE 2002 Limited, a synthetic CMBS issuance sponsored by
Hypo Real Estate Bank AG:

   -- EUR36,950,000 Class B Floating Rate Amortizing Credit
      Linked Notes to Aaa from Aa2;

   -- EUR39,250,000 Class C Floating Rate Amortizing Credit
      Linked Notes to Aa1 from A1;

   -- EUR36,950,000 Class D Floating Rate Amortizing Credit
      Linked Notes to A3 from Baa1;

   -- EUR21,700,000 Class E Floating Rate Amortizing Credit
      Linked Notes to Baa3 from Ba2;

At the same time Moody's has affirmed the Aaa rating of Class A-
3 and Funding Notes.

Class B was placed on review for upgrade on July 4, 2005 as this
class was sensitive to the rating of Hypo Real Estate AG Public
Sector Pfandbriefe, which serves as collateral for the Class B
Notes.  The upgrade of the Class B Notes was prompted by Moody's
recent upgrade of the Hypo Real Estate Bank AG's public-sector
Pfandbriefe to Aaa from Aa1.

The upgrade of the Class C, D and E Notes is based upon an
increase in credit enhancement due to significant
prepayments/repayments of loans in the reference pool and an
improvement in key financials.


EUROHOME MORTGAGES: Moody's Rates Two Note Classes at (P)Ba2
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned provisional long-term credit
ratings to the Notes to be issued by Eurohome Mortgages 2007-1
P.l.c.:

   -- (P)Aaa to the EUR262,500,000 Class A Mortgage Backed
      Floating Rate Notes due May 2050;

   -- (P)Aa2 to the EUR15,000,000 Class B Mortgage Backed
      Floating Rate Notes due May 2050;

   -- (P)A1 to the EUR12,000,000 Class C Mortgage Backed
      Floating Rate Notes due May 2050;

   -- (P)Baa2 to the EUR6,300,000 Class D Mortgage Backed
      Floating Rate Notes due May 2050;

   -- (P)Ba2 to the EUR4,200,000 Class E Mortgage Backed
      Floating Rate Notes due May 2050;

   -- (P)Ba2 to the EUR2,700,000 Class X Mortgage Backed
      Floating Rate Notes due May 2050.

Moody's has also assigned provisional ratings to the
Certificates issued by Eurohome Mortgages 2007-1 p.l.c.:

   -- (P)Aaa to the Italian Mortgage Early Repayment
      Certificates due May 2050;

   -- (P)Aaa to the German Mortgage Early Repayment Certificates
       due May 2050.

Eurohome Mortgages 2007-1 P.l.c. is the first transaction
securitising mortgage loans originated by Deutsche Bank's newly
set-up mortgage lending platforms "Sofia" in Italy and "topimmo"
in Germany.  About [68]% of the final pool are expected to be
represented by Italian mortgages loans while the remaining [32]%
are expected to be German mortgage loans.  The two sub-pools are
fully cross collateralized.  Both pools have a limited average
seasoning of [3] months since the origination by both lending
platforms was just recently started.  The servicing of the loan
portfolios will be done by dedicated servicing teams embedded in
the lending platforms in the two countries.

The issuance proceeds from the Classes A, B, C, D and E Notes
will be used by the Issuer to purchase Italian and German
mortgage loans.  The Class X Notes will fund the initial balance
of the Reserve Account and a portion of the Issuer's initial
expenses.  The Reserve Account will be funded at [0.5]% of the
initial pool balance and will increase to the required level of
[1.1]% by trapping excess spread after closing of the
transaction.  Once the Reserve Account has reached its target
level, the available excess spread will be used to be repay the
Class X Notes.

The Class A to E Notes will start to amortize in sequential
order starting with the Class A Notes.  Once the relative
subordination of Class A has doubled, the Notes will switch to
pro-rata amortization subject to certain performance triggers.

The issuer will enter into interest swap agreements in order to
hedge its interest rate exposure due to the mismatch of the
interest received under the securitized loans and the floating
interest payments due under the Notes.

Moody's issues provisional ratings in advance of the final sale
of securities, but these ratings represent only Moody's
preliminary credit opinions.  Upon a conclusive review of the
transaction and associated documentation, Moody's will endeavor
to assign definitive ratings to the Notes.  A definitive rating
may differ from a provisional rating.


EUROSAIL-UK: S&P Puts Low-B Ratings to Class E1c and ETc Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its preliminary
credit ratings to the GBP650.00 million (equivalent) mortgage-
backed floating-rate notes and an overissuance of
GBP9.75 million excess-spread-backed floating-rate notes to be
issued by Eurosail-UK 2007-3BL PLC.

Eurosail-UK 2007-3BL will be the seventh transaction under the
Eurosail program.

At closing, Eurosail-UK 2007-3BL will issue the notes and use
part of the proceeds to acquire the loan pool from the sellers,
Southern Pacific Mortgage Ltd. and Preferred Mortgages Ltd.

This loan pool comprises first- and second-ranking mortgages on
properties in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and standard
securities on properties in Scotland. The mortgage loans in the
pool are nonconforming mortgages.

The transaction will feature an interest rate cap agreement
(bullet-cap agreement) to hedge against rising LIBOR, a discount
margin reserve to partially hedge against the risk associated
with reduced rates of interest payable on discounted loans, and
a bullet-cap reserve fund.

A fixed/floating swap will be in place to hedge against certain
interest rate mismatches.  A BBR swap agreement will also be in
place to hedge against mismatch between BBR-linked loans and
LIBOR-based notes.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Focus DIY Group Limited and FW No.3 Limited, an intermediate
parent company of Focus DIY (Finance PLC), have entered into a
formal Sale and Purchase agreement with FLP2 Limited, an
indirect and majority owned subsidiary of Promontoria Holding IV
B.V. (a company controlled by certain funds and/or managed
accounts affiliated with Cerberus European Investments, LLC),
under which FLP2 Limited is to acquire the shares in FW No.4
Limited, a holding company of a group of subsidiary companies
within the Focus Group which includes Focus DIY (Finance) PLC
and the operating companies of the Group.

          Principal Features of the Proposed Disposal

The principal features of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are:

    * GBP1 to be paid in cash by the Buyer to the Sellers for
   the shares in FW No.4 Limited on completion of the
   proposed Disposal;

    * the repayment by FW No.4 Limited to FW No.3 Limited on
   completion of the proposed Disposal of certain outstanding
   inter-company indebtedness;

FLP3 Limited, a sister company of the Buyer is proposing to
enter into an assignment agreement with certain of the Focus
Group's senior lenders under which such lenders would transfer
to FLP3 Limited all of their rights and obligations in relation
to the Sale Group's senior term loan indebtedness in return for
a payment equal to the par value of such indebtedness (which
currently amounts to approximately GBP174 million); and

Pursuant to the same proposed assignment agreement, the Bank of
Scotland and GMAC Commercial Finance plc would take a transfer
from certain of the Focus Group's senior lenders of the Sale
Group's revolving credit facility indebtedness and obligations
in respect of that facility in return for a payment equal to the
par value of such indebtedness (except for any such indebtedness
comprised within ancillary facilities provided by the Bank of
Scotland, those facilities continuing after completion of the
transfer); in each case together with all accrued interest
thereon (including PIK interest) and costs and expenses.

    * completion of the proposed Disposal will be conditional
   upon completion of the proposed assignment of the Focus
   Group's senior indebtedness; clearance being obtained

   regulations; and upon the holders of not less than 90% of
   the principal amount of the Notes currently outstanding

      including certain of the warranties provided by the
      Sellers.

Following completion of the Disposal, the Buyer will appoint a

Director.

Completion of the proposed Disposal is expected to occur by the
end of July.

up Agreement with certain holders of Notes (including the
members of the Ad Hoc Committee) who the Company understand

    * the Relevant Noteholders have agreed to consent to the
   proposed Note Amendments;

* as an alternative to some or all of the cash consideration
   for each GBP1 of principal amount of Notes which they
   would otherwise be entitled to receive, eligible holders
   of Notes (being those holders of Notes who constitute
   Qualified Investors for the purposes of the Financial
   Services and Markets Act 2000 and who fall within Articles
   19(5) or 49(2) of the Financial Services and Markets Act
   2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 or who are eligible

Notes to the Buyer on the terms set out in the Lock-up Agreement
will be entitled for a period of 10 business days from the date
of the execution of the Lock-up Agreement to execute an
accession agreement with the Buyer subject to the terms and
conditions of the Lock-up Agreement and of the accession
agreement.  Holders of Notes wishing to obtain further
information in this regard should contact Morgan Stanley & Co.
Limited, the financial adviser to the Buyer, on the telephone
number set out at the end of this announcement as soon as
possible and in any event by no later than 5: 00 p.m/ (London

and holders of Notes will need to make their own assessment of
such terms.  Holders of Notes should consider taking appropriate
independent financial advice in relation to these matters.

                    Consent to Note Amendments

In connection with the proposed Note Amendments,  Focus DIY
(Finance) PLC confirmed that it will make a formal request for
the consent of the requisite majority of holders of the Notes
(being the holders of not less than 90% of the principal amount

of New York, in its capacity as the trustee of the Notes, of the
Supplemental Indenture in the form which was attached to the

         England
         Fax: 020 7964 2536

                Summary of Note Amendments

The proposed Note Amendments will be set out in a supplemental
indenture and would involve the amendments being made to the
indenture dated March 3, 2005 pursuant to which the Notes were
issued:

    * deletion of the mandatory change of control and equal
   treatment covenants;

    * a further deferral of the June 4, 2007 interest payment
     (which was previously  deferred until July 3, 2007) until
      the date falling 3 months after the execution of the Sale
      and Purchase Agreement;

    * deletion of the requirement to maintain a listing for the
   Notes on the Irish Stock Exchange (or any other stock
   exchange or securities market);

    * deletion of other covenants (including the covenant to pay
      interest on the Notes) and events of default with effect

    * the insertion of a redemption right exercisable by the
   Company following completion of the proposed Note
      purchases pursuant to the Lock-up Agreement to permit the
   Company to redeem all of the Notes outstanding at any time
   at a price of 40p per GBP1 of principal amount of Notes.

                   Costs and Break Fee Payment

In the event that the proposed Disposal is not completed, the
Buyer and/or its affiliated entities will be entitled to an
amount of up to GBP500,000 by way of reimbursement of its fees,
costs and expenses in connection with the proposed
Disposal and an additional amount of GBP1,000,000 by way of a
break fee unless the reason for the proposed Disposal not
completing is as a result of any act, omission, default or
failure on the part of the Buyer (or any person connected
with it) or as a result of the failure of the Buyer to obtain
clearance for the proposed Disposal from the European
Commission.

In the event that the proposed Disposal is successfully
completed, it is intended that Focus DIY Group Limited together
with the other remaining members of the Focus Group which do not
form part of the Sale Group will be dissolved in an orderly
manner in due course.

        Background to and Reasons for the Proposed Disposal

In January 2006, the Focus Group agreed a covenant re-set under
its senior facilities in response to a market downturn in the
U.K. DIY sector.  At that time, however, it was recognized that
if the challenging market conditions persisted, the Group would
have difficulty sustaining its existing level of core financial
indebtedness in the longer term.  Accordingly, the covenant re-
set was limited to the period through to its April 2007 testing
date (inclusive), and it was acknowledged that in the absence of
a significant market upturn, the Group's financing structure
would need to be addressed in the first half of 2007 to
resolve the difficulties presented by the level of the Group's
core financial indebtedness.

While the Group benefited from a marginally stronger market in
the second half of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, the
upturn has not been so significant or, as yet, sustained as to
enable the Group to recover the ground which it lost during 2005
and 2006, and its core financial indebtedness has continued to
place a severe strain on the Group's business.  Consequently,
during 2006 the Group, with its advisers KPMG, began a wide-
ranging strategic review of alternative solutions for its future
financing and capital structure and in this regard began a
dialogue with its key financial stakeholders (including the Ad
Hoc Committee and a co-ordination committee of its senior
lenders) and its shareholders.

In this regard, in September 2006 the Group engaged in
discussions with the Ad Hoc Committee who are understood to
hold, in aggregate, approximately 75% of the principal amount of
the Notes, and its advisers Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin to
discuss potential restructuring alternatives.  Under the terms
of a non-disclosure agreement and having been provided with
detailed information about the business, the Ad Hoc Committee
and its advisers conducted an extensive review of the respective
options available.  This review did not lead to any proposals
being made to Focus.

Consequently, in January 2007, N.M. Rothschild & Sons Limited
was appointed to assist the Group in considering a number of
options in the context of the ongoing strategic review including
the potential sale of the business.  This process commenced with
the support of the senior lenders to the Group and the Ad Hoc
Committee.  The Ad Hoc Committee and its advisers continued to
review its other options concurrently.  Rothschild marketed the
business extensively to a wide range of prospective purchasers
which resulted in a small number of parties expressing an
interest in acquiring some or all of the Group's business.
Having evaluated the expressions of interest, Focus DIY Group
Limited entered into detailed discussions with one party whose
offer represented the greatest potential value to stakeholders
of the Group generally.

Having taken into account the fact that the strategic review did
not lead to any acceptable alternative restructuring,
refinancing or disposal alternatives, Focus DIY Group Limited
believes that the proposed Disposal and the related arrangements
represent the most appropriate means of maximizing the potential
returns to all of the Group's stakeholders generally and of
addressing the Group's current financial difficulties.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable market conditions in the UK DIY
sector during 2005 and 2006 and the limited ability of the Focus
Group to make material investment in its business, during the
six month period to April 29, 2007 (being the first half of the
Group's financial year to Oct. 28, 2007 the U.K. DIY sector
exhibited modest signs of recovery and the Focus Group traded in
line with its current budget.

In July 2007, however, the Group's senior debt financing terms
will revert to the original covenant package with which, based
upon current projections, the Group is unlikely to be able to
comply . If the proposed Disposal does not proceed then, unless
an alternative restructuring solution can be put in place,
the Group will need to seek further financial support and
accommodation from its financial creditors.  There can be no
assurance that such an alternative solution or such support and
accommodation would be forthcoming or that its terms would be
attractive.

“This transaction marks the successful conclusion to the
strategic review of our financing structure announced earlier
this year,” Steve Johnson, chief executive of the Focus Group,
said.  “Over the last 18 months the Focus business has continued
to trade well despite the market downturn and the financial
constraints on the business, maintaining its market share.
Completion of this transaction will enable the new owners to
build on the progress of recent years.”

“Focus has the potential to be one of the most successful
operators in the DIY sector,” Bill Grimsey, commenting on behalf
of the Buyer, said.  “In recent years, development has been
constrained by its capital structure and uncertainty. With
the resources and commitment of Cerberus, we will have the
opportunity to exploit its potential in a fundamentally
attractive DIY market.  This deal is great news for customers,
employees and suppliers.”

Focus DIY -- http://www.focusdiy.co.uk/-- is third-largest DIY
retailer in the United Kingdom by market share and offer an
extensive range of DIY and gardening products, primarily to

INVERNESS MEDICAL: Moody's Junks US$250 Mln 2nd Lien Term Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned B1 ratings to Inverness
Medical Innovations, Inc. US$150 million senior secured revolver
due 2013 and US$900 million senior secured term loan due 2014.
Additionally, Moody's assigned a Caa1 rating to Inverness
Medical's US$250 million second lien term loan due 2015.

Concurrently, Moody's confirmed the B2 corporate family rating,
B2 probability of default rating and Caa1 rating on the existing
US$150 million Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012.  This rating
action concludes the review initiated on April 26, 2007 when
Inverness Medical announced that it had entered into an initial
definitive agreement to acquire Biosite Incorporated for
approximately US$90 per share.  Subsequent to the initial
agreement, Inverness Medical increased its offer for Biosite to
US$92.50 per share on May 17, 2007.  The conclusion of the
review anticipates that Inverness Medical will successfully
complete the tender offer for Biosite.

The rating outlook is revised to stable.

Proceeds from both the first lien and second lien credit
facilities along with proceeds from a recent issuance of
Convertible Subordinated Notes and cash will be used to finance
the pending merger with Biosite, refinance existing indebtedness
and to pay related transaction fees and expenses.  The
transaction is expected to be completed in July 2007.

Recently, Inverness Medical entered into a definitive merger
agreement with Cholestech Corporation, a provider of diagnostic
equipment for the monitoring of heart disease and inflammatory
disorders.  Under the agreement, Inverness Medical will acquire
Cholestech in a stock for stock merger at a fixed exchange ratio
of 0.43642 shares of Inverness Medical common stock. The merger
is conditioned upon approval by Cholestech's shareholders as
well as the satisfaction of regulatory and other customary
conditions.  The transaction is expected to be completed in the
third quarter of 2007.

Inverness Medical's B2 ratings reflect the application of
Moody's Global Medical Device rating methodology. Using an
average of the 12 factors specified in the methodology,
Inverness Medical's "methodology-implied" rating is
approximately "B1" based on pro forma financial data (includes
the acquisition of Biosite and Cholestech) through March 31,
2007.  Very favorable scores on concentration by top customer
segment ("Baa") are offset by reliance on acquisitions, share
buybacks and dividends ("Caa"), free cash flow to adjusted debt
("B"), and adjusted debt to EBITDA ("B").  Moody's does not
anticipate that the company will engage in share buybacks or
initiate a dividend over the intermediate term.

The B2 Corporate Family Rating considers the highly leveraged
position, acquisitive nature of the company and integration risk
associated with two concurrent material acquisitions.  Pro forma
for the increased debt resulting from the new credit facility,
the company's adjusted debt to EBITDA was above 5.5 times for
the twelve months ended March 31, 2007.  Moody's expects that
the company's adjusted debt to EBITDA will improve over the next
18 months resulting from increased operating performance
and voluntary repayments of the term loan, which would compare
favorably to the B2 rating category.

Over the past three years, the company has embarked on seven
acquisitions with total cash consideration in excess of US$350
million.

"The company has successfully integrated several acquisitions
over the past few years, but the integration of two major
acquisitions within six months could distract management's
focus over the intermediate term," Sidney Matti, Analyst at
Moody's, stated.

The stable ratings outlook anticipates an improvement in the
company's operating performance driven by an increase in the
diagnostic tools market and cost synergies realized from the
acquisition of Biosite and Cholestech.  The outlook also
reflects the belief that the company will not increase its debt
materially over the near term.

These ratings were assigned:

   -- B1 (LGD3/34%) rating on a US$150 million Senior Secured
      Revolver due 2013;

   -- B1 (LGD3/34%) rating on a US$900 million Senior Secured
      Term Loan due 2014; and

   -- Caa1 (LGD5/82%) rating on a US$250 million Second Lien
      Term Loan due 2015.

These ratings were confirmed:

   -- B2 Corporate Family Rating;

   -- B2 Probability of Default Rating; and

   -- Caa1 (LGD5/82%) rating on US$150 million Senior
      Subordinated Notes due 2012.

Once the existing senior subordinated notes have been redeemed,
Moody's will withdraw the rating on those notes.

Based in Waltham, Massachusetts, Inverness Medical Innovations,
Inc. (AMEX:IMA) -- http://www.invernessmedical.com/-- develops,
manufactures and markets in vitro diagnostic products for the
over-the-counter pregnancy and fertility/ovulation test market
and the professional rapid diagnostic test markets.   For the 12
months ended March 31, 2007, the company generated approximately
US$601 million in revenues.

The company has offices in Australia, Canada, China, Germany,
Japan, and the United Kingdom, among others.


ISOFT GROUP: CSC Consents to Isoft and IBA Health Merger
--------------------------------------------------------
iSOFT Group plc has reached agreement with Computer Sciences
Corporation on mutually beneficial changes to the terms of the
National Programme for IT contract between iSOFT and CSC and
that CSC has formally consented to the change in control of
iSOFT that would result from the merger of iSOFT and IBA Health
Limited.

As previously disclosed, iSOFT and CSC have been in discussions
regarding their involvement in the development function of
certain aspects of LORENZO software for the National Health
Service in England.  For iSOFT, the objective of these
discussions has been to improve the efficiency of the overall
delivery process, to maintain ownership of the development
expertise and LORENZO intellectual property, and to give
increased certainty as to the payments that iSOFT can receive
from NPfIT.

The key elements of the changes to the Contract are:

    * Legally binding “heads of terms” was signed on
      June 18, 2007

    * iSOFT and CSC have agreed to integrate their teams
      involved in the development of software for NPfIT, under
      CSC’s leadership.  iSOFT will contribute certain of the
      teams of people directly involved in the NPfIT project.

    * The responsibility for employment of all such staff will
   remain with iSOFT

    * iSOFT will retain the intellectual property rights to
   LORENZO, including the rights to exploit it outside the
   CSC clusters.  LORENZO installations (current and planned)
   outside these clusters will be unaffected and iSOFT does
   not anticipate that the changes to the Contract will
   impact its core long term strategy of developing LORENZO
      as its strategic product to be sold internationally

    * In addition to LORENZO, CSC will take responsibility for
   the code streams of i.Patient Manager and i.Integration
   Engine for the National Programme, two of iSOFT’s current
   products.  The provision and of these products by iSOFT
   for other customers will be unaffected

    * Some two thirds of the license payments to iSOFT under the
   new agreement will be calendar based, the remainder will
   be based on mutually agreed milestones in order to ensure
      the alignment of the two parties interests.  Payments by
      CSC to iSOFT had previously been linked to the achievement
      of delivery milestones.  However, CSC’s increased direct
      management responsibility for delivery means that this is
      no longer appropriate, as CSC is now responsible for
      program performance, and the liabilities associated
      thereto.

    * There will be a modest reduction in license revenue of
      around 5%, chiefly post 2010.  The total potential
      contract  value to iSOFT remains slightly in excess of
      GBP300 million since the inception of the National
      Programme for IT.

IBA has been consulted in detail regarding the changes to the
Contract and has provided its approval.

CSC has also indicated in writing to iSOFT that it consents to
the change in control of iSOFT that will result from the merger
of iSOFT and IBA.  Accordingly, iSOFT has agreed to terminate
legal proceedings regarding CSC withholding consent.

Achieving this consent was a condition to IBA’s offer for iSOFT.
The only material condition outstanding remains the approval by
iSOFT’s shareholders.  A shareholder meeting is scheduled for
July 6, 2007, and the board of iSOFT continues to recommend
unanimously that shareholders vote in favor of IBA’s offer.
Details of the Offer, the Scheme of Arrangement, and action to
be taken by iSOFT Shareholders was posted to shareholders on
June 13, 2007.

“I firmly believe that these new arrangements with CSC represent
an excellent outcome for both the NHS and for iSOFT,” John
Weston, chairman and acting CEO of iSOFT, said.  “The new
management structure will streamline the processes to ensure the
delivery to the NHS of a quality product on time.  It aligns
both management teams with the highest priority of delivering
the NpfIT.”

“Our relationship with CSC has clearly been tested in recent
weeks, however, this agreement underpins our good working
relationship which we look forward to continuing,” Mr. Weston
continued.

“This will enable the iSOFT management team, which recently has
had to devote a lot of time to the re-financing of the business,
to spend more time on the development of the new products and
continuing improvements to our customer service,” Mr. Weston
added.

“This clears the way for the merger with IBA, which represents
an excellent outcome for our business and shareholders, and
provides the long term financial stability which we have been
seeking,” Mr. Weston concluded.

“We are delighted to have successfully concluded these
discussions and acknowledge the significant contribution made by
Connecting for Health in bringing all parties together to
determine a satisfactory outcome.  Together with the NHS and
iSOFT, we are excited about Lorenzo and believe that the new
agreement will successfully support the final stage of its
development and delivery starting next year," Guy Hains,
president of CSC's European Group, said .

“The agreement which iSOFT and CSC have reached represents a
robust platform for delivery of LORENZO and enhances iSOFT’s
financial position.  I fully endorse it and congratulate the
team on the outcome.  We remain enthusiastic about the merger of
our companies,” Gary Cohen, executive chairman of IBA, said.

ABN AMRO Rothschild, which has underwritten IBA’s conditional
placement and rights issue in connection with IBA’s offer for
iSOFT, has advised IBA that on the basis CSC’s consent has been
obtained following lodgment of the supplementary prospectus, it
does not intend to exercise its right to terminate the
underwriting agreement in respect of that matter.

Acceptances and full payment for the new shares to be issued
under the rights issue must be received by Tuesday, June 26,
2007.

                         About iSOFT

Headquartered in Manchester, United Kingdom, iSOFT Group plc
-- http://www.isoftplc.com/-- supplies advanced medical
software applications for the healthcare sector.  Its products
are used by more than 8,000 organizations in 27 countries for
managing patient information and driving improvements in
healthcare services.  In international markets, the group has a
strong presence in the Asia-Pacific, including Singapore and
India.

                            *     *     *

In June 2006, the Group disclosed a change in accounting policy,
as a consequence of which it became necessary to review revenue
recognition in prior years, in order to re-state some prior year
revenues.  Arising out of that review, a number of possible
accounting irregularities came to light in which it
appears that some revenues reported in 2003/04 and 2004/05 may
have been recognized earlier than they should have been.

On July 20, 2006, the Group engaged its auditors, Deloitte &
Touche LLP, to conduct a formal initial investigation into these
possible irregularities.  In August 2006, it was confirmed that
there were indeed matters that needed further investigation and
the company handed over relevant documents to the Financial
Services Authority, which is now conducting further
investigations.

The Group is working closely and co-operatively with the FSA in
order to complete these investigations as quickly as possible.
At the current time it would be inappropriate to comment on the
likely outcome.

On Oct. 25, 2006, the Accountancy Investigation and Discipline
Board (AIDB) disclosed that it would conduct its own
investigation.  The AIDB investigation is a review of the
conduct of those members of accountancy bodies that are
regulated by the AIDB who were executive or non-executive
directors of iSOFT during the relevant periods, and RSM Robson
Rhodes LLP, iSOFT's auditor for the financial years ended
April 30 2003, 2004 and 2005.

All current executive directors of iSOFT who are members of
those accountancy bodies were appointed after the dates under
investigation, as was the non-executive director who is
currently chairman of the audit committee.  The initial
investigation into possible accounting irregularities --
conducted by the Group's current auditors, Deloitte & Touche
LLP, in July and August 2006 -- did not uncover evidence that
any of the current non-executive directors had any knowledge of
the irregularities.

On the basis of information that has come to light so far, the
Group does not believe that these matters will have any impact
on the current or future financial position of iSOFT.

                      Going Concern Doubt

At Oct. 31, 2006, the company's board of directors recognized
that there are material uncertainties that may cast significant
doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

TELCORDIA TECH: Moody's Rates Two New Debt Facilities at Low-B
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Telcordia's B3 corporate
family rating and assigned a Ba3 rating to the proposed new
US$100 million "first out" senior secured revolving credit
facility and a B2 rating to the proposed US$555 million senior
secured floating rate note offering.

The new facilities will be used to refinance existing
indebtedness, pay related fees and expenses and for working
capital purposes.  The higher rating on the proposed revolver
reflects the first out feature which mandates that revolver
interest and principal get repaid in full prior to the secured
notes during a default scenario.  The outlook remains negative.

Short term liquidity concerns have moderated after the company's
receipt of LCP funds in January and will be further eased by the
reduction in covenants and lack of amortization payments in the
new facilities.  We continue to remain concerned that the pace
of decline of legacy business exceeds increases in new
generation business however sustained performance improvements
could result in stabilizing the outlook or an increase in the
rating.

These ratings were assigned:

   -- Proposed US$100 million "First Out" Senior Secured
      Revolver due 2012, Ba3 (LGD1 – 2%);

   -- Proposed US$555 million Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes
      due 2012, B2 (LGD3 – 36%).

These ratings will be withdrawn upon closing of the new
facilities:

   -- US$100 million senior secured revolving credit facility
      maturing 2011 rated B1 (LGD3 – 31%);

   -- US$570 million senior secured term loan maturing 2012
      rated B1 (LGD3 – 31%).

These ratings were affirmed:

   -- US$300 million senior subordinated notes due 2013 rated
      Caa2 (LGD5 – 86%);

   -- Corporate Family Rating, B3;

   -- Probability of Default Rating, B3.

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.  Prices
are obtained by TCR 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 Monday 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 constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy
or sell any security of any kind.  It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers'
public debt and equity securities about which we report.

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies
with insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than
US$3 per share in public markets.  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.

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

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book
of interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
