AEROFLEX INC: Revised Buyout Offer Cues S&P to Remove Neg. Watch
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services removed its 'B' corporate
credit rating on Plainview, New York-based Aeroflex Inc. from
CreditWatch, where it was placed with negative implications on
May 30, 2007.  The 'B' corporate credit rating is affirmed; the
outlook is negative.  The rating action follows a review of a
revised buyout offer for the company from a private equity
consortium led by Veritas Capital.

"At the same time, we assigned our 'B+' bank loan rating and '2'
recovery rating to Aeroflex's proposed US$560 million first-lien
credit facilities, consisting of a US$60 million revolving
credit and a $500 million term loan," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Lucy Patricola.  The '2' recovery rating
indicates that lenders can expect substantial (70%-90%) recovery
of principal in the event of payment default.  The 'B+' rating
is one notch higher than the 'B' corporate credit rating on
Aeroflex.  All ratings are based on preliminary offering
statements and are subject to review upon final documentation.

The ratings reflect the company's niche product positions, high
leverage at inception and nominal cash flow.  Partial offsets
include stable operating trends, good revenue visibility, and
barriers to entry protecting the company's markets.

Headquartered in Plainview, NY, Aeroflex Inc. is a specialty
provider of microelectronics and test and measurement products
to the aerospace, defense, wireless, broadband and medical
markets.  For the twelve months ended March 31, 2007, revenues
were US$577 million.  Aeroflex has offices in China, France,
Germany, and Argentina.


BCBG MAX: Moody's Cuts Rating to B3 Due to Waning Profitability
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the corporate family rating
of BCBG Maz Azria Group, Inc., to B3 from B1 and assigned a
negative outlook.

The downgrade reflects the company's significant decline in
profitability as a result of the operating losses and cash burn
generated by the Max Rave division (nearly 24% of sales), which
has resulted in sizable erosion in cash flow from operations.
The downgrade with a negative outlook also reflects the
company's inability to provide its bank group with its fiscal
year 2006 financial statements and Moody's expectation that the
company will likely need an amendment to or waiver of its
financial covenants.  In addition, Moody's withdrew the rating
on two of BCBG's credit facilities which have been replaced with
new, unrated facilities.

These ratings have been downgraded:

   -- Corporate family rating to B3 from B1;

   -- Probability of default rating to B3 from B1;

   -- US$159.5 million senior secured term loan B to B3; LGD3-
      47% from B1; LGD3-48%.

These ratings have been withdrawn:

   -- US$150 million senior secured revolving credit facility at
      Ba2; LGD2-20%;

   -- US$80 million senior secured third lien term loan at B3;
      LGD5-76%.

BCBG acquired the assets of Max Rave (formerly G+G Retail) in
February 2006 after the company had undergone a distressed debt
exchange and a bankruptcy filing.  The acquisition was financed
with approximately 38% equity and 62% debt.  Since the
acquisition has closed, the Max Rave division has been
generating significant operating losses versus original
expectations of turning profitable during 2006.

As a result of the purchase accounting requirements surrounding
the Max Rave acquisition, the new US$150 million second lien
financing (unrated), and the new US$200 million Asset Based
Revolving credit facility (unrated), the company's completion of
its 2006 audited statements has been delayed.  The company has
received the necessary waivers to extend the filing of its
audited statements with the bank group until July 31, 2007.
However, given its performance trend, Moody's expects that BCBG
will likely need an additional amendment or waiver to its
financial covenants as well.

The B3 corporate family rating reflects the underperformance of
the company's Max Rave division, which has resulted in a
significant cash burn at the company and significant
deterioration in credit metrics, including Debt/EBITDA that
Moody's estimates to be over six times and negative free cash
flow.  The rating category also reflects the company's very high
business risk as a fashion forward women's apparel retailer, as
well as its high seasonality and small scale.  While
profitability has eroded due to the underperformance of Max
Rave, BCBG continues to generate margins ahead of its peer group
as a result of the continued solid performance of the BCBG core
business.  In addition, the company continues to maintain a
credible market position as reflected by its stable of well
recognized brand names.  The ratings also consider the company's
strong reliance on its founder Max Azria, as well as BCBG's
status as a private company, which excludes it from SEC
requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley and the reporting of
material events.

The negative outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the
company will likely need an additional waiver or amendment as a
result of a violation of its financial covenants, as well as the
risk that the company will be unable to reduce the cash flow
drain as a result of the operating losses at Max Rave.  Given
the negative outlook, it is highly unlikely that ratings would
be upgraded over the near term.  However, the rating outlook
could be stabilized should the company successfully obtain an
amendment or waiver to its financial covenants while evidencing
an ability to turn around the cash burn at the Max Rave
division.

Headquartered in Vernon, California, BCBG Max Azria Group, Inc.
-- http://www.bcbg.com/-- is an apparel retailer and  
wholesaler.  It operates over 530 retail stores, 57 factory
stores, and 102 partnership shops in the United States primarily
under the BCBG and Max Rave nameplates.  In addition, it
distributes to over 400 wholesale doors under the BCBGMaxAzria,
TO THE MAX, Maxime, dorothee bis, Herve Leger, BCBGirls,
Parallel, and maxandcleo brand names.  Revenues for the LTM
period ended Sept. 30, 2006 were approximately US$645 million.  

The company has international offices in Japan, Canada and
France.

BENQ CORP: AU Optronics Taps European Factory to Create LCM
-----------------------------------------------------------
AU Optronics Corp. will begin to contract BenQ Corp.'s European
factory to build liquid-crystal display modules in the fourth
quarter of this year Economic News Service reports.  AUO has
since outsourced its manufacturing to BenQ's mainland Chinese
factory since the second quarter.

According to the report, AUO originally planned to open
facilities in Eastern Europe to handle the manufacturing
considering the 14% tariff the European Union imposes on
imported LCD TVs.  However, it aborted the plan and decided to
contract BenQ's factory in Czech to make the modules for it
after the two companies, which are under the same chairman,
adjusted their management team.

BenQ's Czech factory is currently staffed with 400 workers to
make LCD monitors, the Chinese paper relates.  BenQ previously
rent a factory near the monitor factory to produce LCD TVs, but
has since moved its TV production to the monitor factory since
the second quarter.  The Czech factory's output has increased
sharply due to strong demands for monitors and TVs, the report
notes.

Sheaffer Lee, BenQ\u2019s president was quoted by China Economic
News as saying that the Czech factory will work closer with AUO
and play a weighing role in BenQ's global manufacturing
deployment mainly on LCM contracts.

In addition, Hui Hsiung, the newly appointed president of Qisda
Corp., pointed out that his company and AUO will work together
given the rising trend of outsourcing LCM contract.  Qisda is a
pure manufacturer recently spilt from BenQ, which retains brand-
name operation, the report says.

Mr. Hsiung, which is also concurrently the executive vice
president of AUO, noted that AUO will lower investments in the
labor-intensive LCM manufacturing and center its investments on
front-end equipment stressing technology and capital.  He added
that AUO's outsourcing LCM production will not exceed 10% of its
output, the report adds.  

BenQ announced the plan of separating contract manufacturing
operation from brand-name operation in April this year as part
of its plan to improve finance, China Economic News recounts.  
The spin-off will take effect on September 1 this year.

Headquartered in Taiwan, Republic of China, BenQ Corp., Inc. --
http://www.benq.com/-- is principally engaged in manufacturing  
developing and selling of computer peripherals and
telecommunication products.  It is also a major provider of 3G
handset, camera phones, and other products.

BenQ Mobile GmbH & Co., the company's German-based wholly owned
subsidiary, filed for insolvency in Munich on Sept. 29, 2006,
after BenQ Corp.'s board decided to discontinue capital
injection into the mobile unit in order to stem unsustainable
losses.  The collapse follows a year after Siemens sold the
company to Taiwanese technology group BenQ.

BenQ Mobile has lost market share against giant competitors.  A
Munich Court opened insolvency proceedings against BenQ Mobile
GmbH & Co OHG on Jan. 1 after Mr. Prager failed to secure a
buyer for the company by the Dec. 31, 2006 deadline.

                         *     *     *

The Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific reported on Dec. 5,
2006, that Taiwan Ratings Corp., assigned its long-term twBB+
and short-term twB corporate credit ratings to BenQ Corp.

The outlook on the long-term rating is negative.  At the same
time, Taiwan Ratings assigned its twBB+ issue rating to BenQ's
existing NT$7.05 billion unsecured corporate bonds due in 2008,
2009, and 2010.

The ratings reflect BenQ's continuing operating losses from its
handset operations and high leverage, and the competitive nature
and low profitability of the LCD monitor industry.


COCHSTEDT AIRPORT: Draws 10 Bidders from Asia and the Near East
---------------------------------------------------------------
Germany's Cochstedt Airport, which became insolvent in 2002, has
10 potential bidders from Asia and the Near East, AFX News
reports citing Mitteldeutsche Zeitung as its source.

However, the identity and respective offer of the investors
remain undisclosed.

According to the report, Saxony-Anhalt's state government favors
Cochstedt’s integration into German airport operator
Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG.

                        About Cochstedt

Cochstedt is a former Soviet air base located near Magdeburg in
the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt.

SEQUA CORP: Inks US$2.7 Billion Merger Deal with Carlyle Group
--------------------------------------------------------------
Sequa Corporation, a diversified manufacturer with seven
discrete operating units, and global private equity firm The
Carlyle Group announced the execution of a definitive merger
agreement under which Carlyle will acquire Sequa in a
transaction valued at US$2.7 billion.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Carlyle will acquire
all of the outstanding Class A and Class B shares of Sequa for
US$175.00 per share in cash, a premium of 54% to the closing
prices of Sequa's Class A and Class B shares on July 6, 2007.

Gail A. Binderman, Chairman of the Board of Sequa, said,
"Today's announcement is the result of a careful and thorough
analysis conducted by our Board of Directors and a Transaction
Committee of independent directors established by the Board to
oversee the evaluation process. This Company, which was created
by my father, Norman E. Alexander, more than five decades ago,
has thrived by following the principles he established and the
standards he set. Consistent with his ideals and his lifelong
commitment to this Company, we made this decision because we
felt that it was the best way to deliver maximum value to our
stockholders. Carlyle has a demonstrated track record of
investing in and improving the companies it acquires and has
great financial and operational expertise. Our Board unanimously
supports becoming a part of the Carlyle family and recommends
that our stockholders vote in favor of this transaction."

Dr. Martin Weinstein, Chief Executive Officer, said, "On behalf
of the Board and senior management, I would like to thank the
employees of Sequa for enabling us to achieve excellence in so
many areas. Carlyle will help us take Sequa to the next level as
we continue to offer our customers the great service they've
come to expect."

Peter Clare, Carlyle Managing Director and Head of the Global
Aerospace and Defense sector team, stated, "Sequa is an
outstanding business thanks to the solid foundation the
Alexander family has created and due to the high quality of the
Company's existing management team. We look forward to working
with Marty Weinstein and the rest of the senior management team
to continue Sequa's growth."

Adam Palmer, Carlyle Managing Director, added, "We are impressed
by the advanced technology and industry leadership positions
Sequa maintains in multiple sectors. Carlyle is uniquely
positioned with deep industry expertise across these various
businesses to support the future plans of the Company. We have a
proven track record of working with diversified companies and
are committed to working with Sequa to extend its market reach
through both internal and external growth strategies."

The Board of Directors of Sequa and the Transaction Committee
unanimously approved the transaction and recommend that Sequa
stockholders adopt the merger agreement with Carlyle. A special
meeting of Sequa's stockholders will be held as soon as
practicable after the preparation and filing of a proxy
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The executors of the estate of Norman E. Alexander and certain
entities owned or controlled by them, holding in the aggregate
Class A and Class B shares representing approximately 54% of the
outstanding voting power of the Company, have entered into a
voting agreement under which they have agreed to vote all of
their shares in favor of the transaction. Subsequent to the
completion of the transaction, the estate expects that
substantially all of the net sale proceeds received by the
estate will fund a charitable trust.

The merger is subject to the approval of Sequa stockholders and
customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including
expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. Under the terms of the
merger agreement, Sequa may solicit acquisition proposals from
third parties until August 23, 2007. The transaction is expected
to close in the fourth quarter of 2007. The acquisition will be
financed through a combination of equity contributed by
investment funds affiliated with Carlyle and external debt
financing provided by Lehman Brothers, Citigroup and JP Morgan.
The completion of the transaction is not contingent upon Carlyle
obtaining financing.

Evercore Group L.L.C. is acting as financial advisor to Sequa,
and Cahill Gordon & Reindel is acting as legal advisor to the
Company. Lehman Brothers, Citigroup and JPMorgan are acting as
financial advisors to Carlyle, and Latham & Watkins is acting as
Carlyle's legal advisor. Debevoise & Plimpton and Hartman &
Craven are acting as legal advisors to the Alexander family.

SEQUA CORP: Carlyle Agreement Cues Moody's to Review Ratings
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service reviews the ratings of Sequa
Corporation for possible downgrade in response to the
announcement that the Carlyle Group entered into an agreement to
purchase the publicly traded company for about US$2.7 billion or
US$175 per share.

The company announced that the acquisition will be financed
through a combination of equity and external debt provided by
Carlyle.  Sequa has a Corporate Family Rating of B1.

Moody's review will focus on the impact the proposed transaction
will have on the entity's future capital structure, financial
strategy and credit metrics.  The review will also assess the
degree to which the company's operating strategy will be able to
sustain earnings, cash flow generation and liquidity to support
the new capital structure, which may be comprised of
significantly more debt.  The current debt is primarily composed
of senior unsecured notes, US$498 million 9% due 2009 and US$199
million 8.875% due April 2008.  

The notes' indentures provide a put option to holders in the
event of a change in control.  If these bonds are redeemed in
their entirety, Moody's will withdraw all ratings at the close
of the transaction, expected in the fourth quarter.  The company
also has a small unrated bank credit facility held by certain
foreign subsidiaries consisting of a term loan and letter of
credit facility due 2010.

SEQUA CORP: S&P Puts Neg. Watch on US$2.7 Billion Carlyle Deal
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its ratings, including
the 'BB-' corporate credit rating, on Sequa Corp. on CreditWatch
with negative implications.  About $700 million of debt is
affected.

"The CreditWatch placement follows Sequa's announcement that it
will be acquired by private equity firm Carlyle Group in a
transaction valued at $2.7 billion, including $700 million of
debt," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Roman Szuper.  "The
acquisition, expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2007, is
likely to result in a more leveraged capital structure."

If Sequa's outstanding senior unsecured notes ($498 million 9%
due 2009 and $199 million 8 7/8% due 2008) are redeemed, S&P
will withdraw its 'BB-' ratings on the notes.

New York, New York-based Sequa is a diversified industrial
company providing repair and remanufacture of blades, vanes, and
other components of gas turbine engines, particularly those used
on commercial aircraft (45%-50% of revenues), with the balance
derived from several nonaerospace businesses.


SEQUA CORP: Fitch Puts B+ Issuer Default Rating on Neg. Watch
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has placed Sequa Corporation and its subsidiaries
on Rating Watch Negative following the announced acquisition by
The Carlyle Group, as:

  * Sequa Corporation:

    -- Issuer Default Rating 'B+';
    -- Senior unsecured notes 'BB/RR2'.

  * Warwick International Group Ltd.
  * Chromalloy UK Ltd.
  * Chromalloy Holland B.V.

    -- Senior secured bank credit facility 'BB+/RR1'.

The ratings cover approximately $750 million of outstanding
debt.  The senior secured bank credit facility is an obligation
of several of SQA's subsidiaries, and it is guaranteed by SQA.

The rating actions follow SQA's July 9 announcement that it has
reached an agreement to be acquired by The Carlyle Group, a
private equity firm, for approximately $2.7 billion.  Under the
terms of the agreement, Sequa has until Aug. 23, 2007 to solicit
other bids from third parties.  If consummated, the transaction
is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2007.

The Negative Rating Watch reflects uncertainty regarding the
final financing arrangements and potential changes to SQA's
capital structure which could meaningfully increase leverage.  
Possible changes in the company's operating and financial
strategy are also a consideration.  The Negative Rating Watch
will be resolved following Fitch's assessment of these factors
before or concurrent with the consummation or termination of the
transaction.

Fitch notes that holders of both the 8.875% senior notes due
2008 ($199.1 million), and the 9.0% senior notes due 2009 ($498
million) benefit from change-of-control put provisions in the
indentures which allow them to tender their notes at 101% of
par.  These provisions limit some of the credit risk related to
the proposed transaction.

SQA's ratings reflect the company's improving operating results,
healthy commercial aerospace environment, liquidity, and fully
funded pension plans.  SQA has a highly diversified portfolio of
subsidiaries across products and geographies, reducing the
concentration risk of individual operating businesses.  Fitch's
concerns are focused on high leverage and negative free cash
flow since 2002.

ROSNEFT OIL: Board of Directors Reviews First Half Results
----------------------------------------------------------
The board of directors of OAO Rosneft Oil Co. approved the
Company’s preliminary operational results for the first half of
2007 and noted a number of significant events that have taken
place over this period.

At the end of the first half of 2007, Rosneft successfully held
its first general annual meeting of shareholders as a publicly
traded company.  During the accounting period, Rosneft became
the top-ranked public oil and gas company by proved liquid
hydrocarbon reserves (according to an audit performed by
DeGolyer and MacNaughton).

Daily oil production at the Sakhalin-1 project reached the
planned level. Regarding the processing of associated gas and
sales of resulting production, a memorandum of mutual
cooperation was signed with SIBUR.

The Belokamenka floating oil tanker transshipped its 10
millionth ton of oil, while Tuapsenefteprodukt commissioned a
complex capable of transshipping 3 million tons of fuel oil per
year from rail to marine transport vessels.  

At the Komsomolsk Refinery, the reconstruction of a primary oil
refining installation was completed, which guarantees refining
capacity of 7 million tons per year with a potential increase to
8-8.5 million tons per year.

A shareholding and operating agreement was signed with the
Chinese Petroleum and Chemical Company (Sinopec), which concerns
joint exploration and development at the Veninsky block of the
Sakhalin-3 project.  A declaration of intentions was signed on
constructing the endpoint of the East Siberia -— Pacific Ocean
pipeline.  Finally, the largest rating agencies -— Moody’s,
Fitch and S&P —- increased the Company’s ratings (and
forecasts), respectively, to Baa1 (forecast — stable), BBB-
(positive) and BB+ (positive).

In the first half of 2007, the Company took out a US$22 billion
bridge loan at the lowest interest rate ever obtained by a
Russian borrower. The Company used the loan for activities at
various producing, refining and marketing assets, the number of
which increased from 102 to 230. Now all Company’s assets are
located in 45 regions across Russia. Especially noteworthy was
the Company’s acquisition of five large oil refineries and more
than 1,000 service stations. The total number of Rosneft
employees increased from 81,000 to 132,000.

During the first six months of the year, Rosneft held the
leading positions among Russian oil and gas companies in terms
of market capitalization, level of reserves and oil production.
According to preliminary figures, the Company achieved the
results outlined in its business plan, which was brought about
by increased effectiveness in all areas of operation, as well as
by a favorable pricing situation on the global oil market.

In comparison to the same period of 2006, preliminary data
(according to Russian Accounting Standards) indicate that
Rosneft increased oil and gas condensate production by 14.6% to
44.5 million tons (including 100% of Polar Lights and
Udmurtneft).  Taking into account the assets recently acquired
in 2007, this figure stands at 19%.  Gas production, according
to preliminary data, increased by 10.6% to 7.5 billion cubic
meters (by 13% including newly acquired assets). Rosneft’s share
of total Russian oil production stood at 19%, as opposed to
16.4% in the same period of 2006.

Organic growth in oil production was achieved by the drilling
and commissioning of new wells at Yuganskneftegaz, Purneftegaz,
Severnaya Neft and Sakhalinmorneftegaz, as well as by completing
workover programs at Yuganskneftegaz, Purneftegaz, Severnaya
Neft, Udmurtneft and Krasnodarneftegaz. Increased oil production
from these measures was obtained chiefly at Purneftegaz and
Krasnodarneftegaz.

In the first half of 2007, preliminary data indicate that the
Company refined 15.2 million tons of oil, which is a 29.1%
increase over the same period in 2006.  Excluding new
acquisitions, oil refining reached 13.5 million tons, which is
14.8% more than in the first half of 2006.  Total output of oil
products was 14.4 million tons (12.8 million tons, excluding new
assets). Oil refining depth (including new assets) increased to
62.3%, as opposed to 58.3% last year.

Total oil product sales in the first half of 2007, according to
preliminary results, were 14.8 million tons, which is 11% above
the planned level and a 28.2% increase over 2006.  Preliminary
results show that 7.42 million tons of oil products were
exported (109.9% of the level exported in the first half of 2006
and 102.2% of the planned level).  The same volume of oil
products were sold on the domestic market (153.8% of the same
period in 2006 and 121.4% of the planned level).  The Company
sold 3.7 million tons of oil products through its marketing
subsidiaries.

In addition to examining the Company’s preliminary results for
the first half of the year, the Board of Directors also approved
Rosneft’s obtainment of a RUB 8.4 billion line of credit from
VTB, as well as a five-year loan of US$3.25 billion from a
syndicate of Western banks.

SEVERSTAL OAO: To Build Steel Mill at Saratov Oblast
----------------------------------------------------
OAO Severstal and the administration of the Saratov Oblast
signed a Memorandum of Intent to construct of a new reinforcing
steel mill in the region.

The Governor of the Saratov Oblast, Pavel Ipatov, and Anatolyi
Kruchinin, General Director of OAO Severstal’s Cherepovests Iron
and Steel Work, signed on July 18 in Saratov a framework
Agreement of assistance in the implementation of a project for
the construction of a reinforcing steel mini mill in the
municipal unit Bykovo-Otgorskoe, located 160 km from Saratov.

The annual output of the new enterprise to be commissioned in
2010 will be 1 MT of bar sections.  Around 400 new jobs will be
created in the region as a result.  Projected investments will
be about $500 million.  The mini mill will use metal scrap as a
feedstock eliminating the first “black” processing cycle, which
will practically reduce the environmental impact to zero.  
Logistics of the production process and supplies under the new
project will be presented at the Investment Committee of the
Saratov Oblast in late July.

"The location of the construction of this plan was not chosen by
chance," Mr. Kruchinin said.  "The Russian construction market
keeps growing. Over the last year alone, the use of
reinforcement in Russia increased by 30%.  The Saratov region
and the Privolzhsky market have a shortage of bar product.
Severstal’s experience of producing quality reinforcing steel at
the Cherepovests Iron and Steel Work enables this problem to be
resolved in the future.  Even today quality heat strengthened
reinforcing steel, grade A 500 C, which is in maximum demand on
the market, accounts for about 80% of total shipments to Russian
construction companies."

According to Mr. Kruchinin, sales to the construction sector in
Russia’s domestic market are seen as strategic by Severstal. OAO
Severstal Russian steel makers -– CherMK Severstal and Trade
House Severstal-Invest -– supplied about 1.5 million tons of
metal products to the construction market in 2006.

YUKOS OIL: State to Auction Finance Unit on Aug. 15
---------------------------------------------------
The Russian Federal Property Fund will continue taking bids for
Yukos Finance BV through Aug. 13 after it opened bids for OAO
Yukos Oil Co.'s Dutch subsidiary yesterday, July 16, published
reports reveal, citing Rossiiskaya Gazeta as their source.

Yukos Finance's main assets, currently possessed by
Yukos'creditors, include:

  -- proceeds from a 54% stake in Lithuanian refinery Mazeikiu
     Nafta AB, worth almost US$1.5 billion; and

  -- a 49% stake in Transpetrol, worth between $100 million and
     US$200 million.

The lot, which has been approved by Yukos creditors, carries a
RUR7.6 billion (US$299 million) starting price.

"A decision has been made that the shares will be sold at an
auction.  The sales terms contain all essential information for
buyers under Dutch law," Nikolai Lashkevich was quoted by RIA
Novosti as saying.

On May 24, 2007, Yukos receiver Eduard Rebgun obtained a Dutch
court ruling recognizing him as the sole legal representative of
Yukos Finance, and permitting him to sell the bankrupt company's
foreign assets.

Moscow plans to sell the stake to a Russian firm to strengthen
its large influence on energy in the region, The Moscow Times
relates.

Slovakia, which owns the remaining 51% stake in Transpetrol,
indicated last March that it intends to repurchase the 49% stake
from Yukos.  The Slovakian government sold the Transpetrol
shares to Yukos Finance in 2002.  Under terms of the deal,
Slovakia retains the right to block the sale of these shares
until April 2007.  The Slovak Spectator had previously reported,
citing Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, that the state will
not veto the stake sale if the buyer is a Russian firm.

Slovakia's ministry spokesman declined to comment Friday whether
Slovakia was still interested in acquiring the stake, the Moscow
Times adds.

According to Rossiiskaya Gazeta, the Aug. 15 auction will
include Yukos' RUR13.7 billion of accounts receivable for an
RUR11.5 billion starting price.

As reported in the TCR-Europe on June 29, 2007, Mr. Rebgun said
Yukos has started the repayment of arrears on the company's
principal RUR400 billion debt to third-ranking creditors.  The
Yukos receiver is repaying debt claims to all registered
creditors in proportion to the size of their claims.

As of Jan. 31, 2007, claims against Yukos filed by 68 creditors
reached RUR709 billion (US$26.8 billion).  The company's largest
creditors include:

2003.  Yugansk eventually was bought by state-owned Rosneft,
which is now claiming more than US$12 billion from Yukos.

On March 10, 2006, a 14-bank consortium led by Societe Generale
filed a bankruptcy suit in the Moscow Arbitration Court in an
attempt to recover the remainder of a US$1 billion debt under
outstanding loan agreements.  The banks, however, sold the claim
to Rosneft, prompting the Court to replace them with the state-
owned oil company as plaintiff.

On April 13, 2006, court-appointed external manager Eduard
Rebgun filed a chapter 15 petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of New York (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No.
06-0775), in an attempt to halt the sale of Yukos' 53.7%
ownership interest in Lithuanian AB Mazeikiu Nafta.

On May 26, 2006, Yukos signed a US$1.49 billion Share Sale and
Purchase Agreement with PKN Orlen S.A., Poland's largest oil
refiner, for its Mazeikiu ownership stake.  The move was made a
day after the Manhattan Court lifted an order barring Yukos from
selling its controlling stake in the Lithuanian oil refinery.

On Aug. 1, 2006, the Hon. Pavel Markov of the Moscow Arbitration
Court upheld creditors' vote to liquidate OAO Yukos Oil Co. and
declared what was once Russia's biggest oil firm bankrupt.

PETKIM PETROKIMYA: Russian-Kazakh Consortium Wins 51% Stake
-----------------------------------------------------------
A consortium of Kazakh and Russian companies made the highest
bid to buy a 51% stake in PETKIM Petrokimya Holding A.S.,
Turkish Daily News reports.

According to the report, TransCentralAsia Petrochemical Holding
outbid seven other conglomerates by agreeing to pay US$2.05
billion for the company.

Opposition parties accused the Turkish government of selling
Petkim's majority stake to a Russian-Kazakh consortium who are
yet to identify its owners, Turkish Daily relates.

"If elected, the Republican People's Party (CHP) will stop the
selling process," CHP's Deniz Baykal was quoted by Turkish Daily
as saying.

"Petkim is very important to Turkey.  We don't know who bought
it.  The seller is known but the buyer is not," Mr. Baykal
added.

The leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), Devlet
Bahceli criticized the AKP for speeding up Petkim's sale before
the elections, Turkish Daily relates.

As reported in the TCR-Europe on April 11, 2007, The Turkish
Privatization Administration (OIB) announced on Feb. 8, 2007, a
privatization tender of 51% of Petkim shares through a block
sale.

The administration owns 54% of Pektim and the Republic of
Turkey, State Pension Fund holds 7%.  Currently, 39% of Petkim
shares are traded on the Istanbul Stock Exchange.

Headquartered in Turkey, Petkim Petrokimya Holding A.S. --
http://www.petkim.com.tr/-- is a petrochemical company.  It was  
founded in 1965 as a state-owned entity in Turkey.

                         *     *     *

As reported in the TCR-Europe on July 11, 2007, Fitch Ratings
has put Turkey-based PETKIM Petrokimya Holding A.S.'s Long-term
local and foreign currency Issuer Default ratings of 'BB' and
National Long-term rating of 'AA(tur)' on Rating Watch Negative.

The RWN reflects Fitch's concerns that the sale of 51% of Petkim
by the Turkish Privatization Administration to TransCentralAsia  
Petrochemical Holding for US$2.05 billion may negatively affect  
Petkim's credit profile.

SAVINGS BANK: Moody's Assigns E+ Bank Financial Strength Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned an E+ bank financial strength
rating, Baa2/Prime-2 global local currency deposit ratings and
B2/NP long-term and short-term foreign currency deposit ratings
to Savings Bank of Ukraine.

The long-term foreign currency deposit rating of B2 carries a
positive outlook, while all other ratings carry stable outlooks.
At the same time, Moody's has also assigned a Aaa.ua National
Scale Rating to Saving Bank's local currency deposits. The NSR
carries no specific outlook.  The Aaa.ua national scale rating
reflects the standing of the bank's credit quality relative to
its domestic peers.

According to Moody's, Savings Bank's ratings are underpinned by
the bank's full ownership by the state, which implies a very
high probability of systemic support, as well as the bank's
social importance for the country.  These factors result in a
multi-notch uplift from the bank's Baseline Credit Assessment of
B2.

The bank's ratings are further supported by:

   (i) its position as one of the largest banks in the country;

  (ii) its good and strengthening franchise in retail on the
       back of its privileged position as the country's only
       bank whose household deposits are fully guaranteed by the
       state;

(iii) its established cooperation with the country's largest
       state entities, which offers good prospects for cross-
       selling;

  (iv) its widespread branch network, which, although currently
       excessively large, may improve the bank's access to
       retail customers;

   (v) the bank's substantial market shares in Ukraine's
       fragmented market; and

  (vi) its good profitability.

However, Moody's cautions that Savings Bank's E+ financial
strength rating remains constrained by:

   (i) some corporate governance issues;

  (ii) the government's ability to interfere in the bank's
       business as has been the case in the past;

(iii) the bank's high risk appetite, as reflected by
       concentration in its loan book;

  (iv) its poor liquidity position, asset quality (attributable
       to past performance) and efficiency;

   (v) the rapid growth in its loan book, which is associated
       with higher credit risks that may become evident when the
       loans season;

  (vi) its untested risk management practices;

(vii) the growing competition in the market;

(viii) the bank's franchise value, which, despite its
       development, still remains focused on close cooperation
       with state entities; and

  (ix) the potential risk of costly strategic mistakes given the
       bank's rapid recent growth.

The bank was originally established in 1991 as a branch of the
former Soviet State Savings Bank of Ukraine.  Today, the bank
holds the status of a specialized savings bank due to the
structure of its liabilities, of which over 50% must represent
retail deposits.

Headquartered in Kiev, Ukraine, Savings Bank of Ukraine reported
total assets and shareholders' equity of US$2.2 billion and
US$285 million, respectively, under IFRS (audited) as at the end
of December 2006.

AMC ENTERTAINMENT: Appoints Four New Associates
-----------------------------------------------
AMC Entertainment Inc. has hired four new associates: Stann
Tate, Justin Scott, Chad Novak and Andy Traub.  They bring more
than 60 years of collective experience in their respective
fields to the Kansas City-based theatrical exhibition company.

"We're excited to welcome these new directors into our AMC
family," said Keith Wiedenkeller, AMC's senior vice president of
human resources.  "Each one brings a wealth of diverse
experience from an impressive list of companies."

Mr. Tate is the director of community relations, a newly created
position at AMC that focuses on community outreach.  He joins
AMC from the Kansas Speedway where he was the director of public
relations since 2000.  Drawing from his involvement on boards of
several local non-profit organizations, Mr. Tate will create a

FORD MOTOR: Dismisses Speculations on Possible Volvo Sale
---------------------------------------------------------
Ford Motor Company is reviewing the future of its European
operations and is considering selling its Volvo Cars business in
a deal that could be worth GBP3.9 billion or US$8 billion,
published reports claim, quoting people familiar to the matter.

One of the company's spokespeople is quick to dismiss the
speculations, however, saying: "Ford is not in discussions with
any companies in relation to selling Volvo.  As we've been
saying since last year, we continue to assess all of our
operations and are looking at our strategic options."  A Volvo
spokesman in Sweden referred questions about Volvo's future
ownership status to company spokesmen at Ford headquarters in
Dearborn, Michigan, the Wall Street Journal relates.

Ford had previously sold its Aston Martin luxury nameplate for
US$848 million and is currently entertaining offers for its
Jaguar and Land Rover brands.  Those brands, along with Volvo,
made up Ford's Premier Automotive Group, which has suffered
losses of US$4.8 billion since 2004, WSJ states.

A source in London has revealed that deliberations on Volvo's
sale were still at an early stage and may not even result in a
sale.  News about the potential sale of the Swedish brand, which
Ford has repeatedly denied, leaked into the British media over
the weekend, reports say.

According to the Scotsman, speculation about a Volvo takeover
was fuelled by an interview in a German newspaper with BMW CFO
Stefan Krause, who had not ruled out takeovers of other
carmakers or brands, although he said any talk of a bid for
Volvo Cars was "pure speculation.”

The TCR-Europe reported on June 13, 2007, that the company has
hired investment banks including Goldman Sachs, HSBC and Morgan
Stanley to explore the sale of its two British luxury brands,
which lost US$12.6 billion last year.

Ford Motor Company has set July 19, 2007, as the deadline for
bidders to present indicative bids for its Jaguar and Land Rover
car brands.

FREESCALE SEMI: First Minister Eyes Job Rescue at Scottish Plant
----------------------------------------------------------------
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond believes there is still
time to save the 900 jobs threatened by the possible closure of
Freescale Semiconductor Inc. plant in East Kilbridge, the
Scotsman reports.

"My officials are helping the company with their strategic plans
and were doing everything possible to retain and protect the
jobs in Scotland.  The firm has spoken to their employees in
terms of their plans, but it would be far too early to write off
the manufacturing prospects of the company in Scotland," Mr.
Salmond was quoted by the Scotsman as saying.

According to the report, East Kilbridge's MP Adam Ingram stated
that he is ready to go to the United States to discuss the plant
and the GBP3 million regional selective assistance grant
Freescale accepted in March 2007.

ISOFT GROUP: Considers IBA Offer Until Aug. 7
---------------------------------------------
The U.K. Office of Fair Trading has extended the deadline for
consideration for IBA Health Ltd.’s acquisition of iSOFT Group
plc to Aug. 7, 2007, Thomson Financial says citing AFX News as
its source.

As previously reported in the TCR-Europe on July 10, 2007, the
shareholder resolutions to approve the recommended offer for
iSOFT, by a wholly owned subsidiary of IBA, IBA U.K. Holdings
Ltd., to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement, were
duly passed at the Court Meeting and the Extraordinary General
Meeting held on July 6, 2007.

At the Court Meeting, a majority in number of iSOFT
Shareholders, who voted either in person or by proxy and who
together represented over 75% by value of the votes cast, voted
in favor of the resolution to approve the Scheme.  The
resolution was accordingly passed.

At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the special resolution to
approve the Scheme and provide for its implementation was also
passed by the requisite majority.

Implementation of the Offer remains subject to the High Court of
Justice for England and Wales sanctioning the Scheme at the
Court Hearing which is expected to take place on July 25, 2007
and confirming the associated reduction of iSOFT's share capital
at the Court Hearing which is expected to take place on July 27,
2007.  Subject to the Scheme receiving the sanction and
confirmation of the Court on those dates, the effective date of
the Scheme is expected to be July 30, 2007.  It is also expected
that if the Scheme becomes effective on July 30, 2007, listing
of the iSOFT Shares will be cancelled at or about 8:00 a.m. on
July 30, 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.

PENICUIK HOME: Bank of Scotland Hires BDO Stoy to Find Buyer
------------------------------------------------------------
The Bank of Scotland has called in receivers BDO Stoy Hayward to
find a buyer for Penicuik Home Improvement Ltd. within two weeks
or close it down, sealing the fate of thousands of homeowners
who have previously ordered millions of pounds worth of work,
The Scotsman reports.

"Penicuik has been operating in a highly competitive market for
a number of years and has suffered from trading losses, which
has led to the cashflow difficulties," said BDO Stoy Hayward
joint receiver James Stephen.  "Having completed an initial
business review, we have regrettably had to make 59
redundancies."

"It is a regrettable situation for people to have been made
redundant, but we are optimistic with the company's name and
reputation and an attractive orders book that we will be able to
sell it on as a going concern.  If we are unable to sell it,
then the rest of the workforce would also be made redundant.  
Anyone who has already placed an order with the company will be
refunded as that money has been ring-fenced," Mr. Stephen added.

Meanwhile, The Scotsman relates that there may be about GBP2
million worth of outstanding orders for windows on the company's
books, including deposits paid by several customers at GBP1,000
each.  Penicuik has contacted its clients with the promise to
complete the work.  It will be unable to offer guarantees,
however, unless a new buyer saves the company.

"As far as we are aware, Penicuik Home Improvement Ltd.
warranties were not insurance backed or underwritten, therefore
the decision on whether to take on any existing warranties would
rest with any potential new owners," said Midlothian Councilor
Russell Imrie.

The company had been suffering losses the past few years.  The
directors' report for the year ending March 2005 revealed a pre-
tax loss of GBP2.1 million.  The firm also lost more than GBP2
million in the previous financial year.  The report showed that
Penicuik owed nearly GBP13 million to creditors two years ago,
including almost GBP11 million in bank loans and overdrafts, The
Scotsman states.

                         About Penicuik

Headquartered in Midlothian, Scotland, Penicuik Home Improvement
Ltd. -- http://www.penicuik.com/-- is a double-glazing company

                            *********

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
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com.  Go to
http://www.bankrupt.com/booksto order any title today.
