ADVANCED MICRO: Fitch Assigns CCC+ Rating on US$1.5-Bln Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'CCC+/RR6' rating to Advanced Micro
Devices Inc.'s (NYSE: AMD) private placement of US$1.5 billion
5.75% convertible senior notes due 2012.  The 'CCC+/RR6' rating
also applies to up to US$225 million of additional notes issued
within the next 30 days to cover over-allotments.  The 'BB-/RR2'
rating on AMD's US$1.69 billion Term Loan B due 2010 is affirmed
and withdrawn, as the company will use net proceeds from today's
debt issuance, as well as available cash, to fully repay the
term loan.

These ratings are affirmed:

-- Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'B';
-- Senior unsecured debt at 'CCC+/RR6'.

The rating outlook remains negative.  Approximately US$4.1
billion of total debt, pro forma for the repayment of the term
loan, is affected by Fitch's actions.

Today AMD issued US$1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of
5.75% convertible senior notes due 2012 in a private placement
to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A.  AMD
also granted the initial investors a 30-day option to purchase
up to US$225 million of additional notes to cover any over-
allotments.  The notes are pari passu with the company's
existing senior unsecured debt and convertible into shares of
AMD common stock at an initial conversion price of approximately
US$20.13 per share.

Fitch believes the refinancing moderately improves AMD's
financial flexibility and liquidity, as the company will be
permitted to use proceeds from asset sales for ongoing capital
expenditures rather than to reduce term loan balances, as was
required by the covenants associated with the term loan.
Nonetheless, Fitch also believes AMD's liquidity, which
consisted solely of approximately US$1.6 billion of cash and
cash equivalents at June 30, 2007, remains relatively weak,
particularly considering the company's cash burn rate and need
for continued capital investments.  Fitch notes AMD has reduced
2007 capital spending guidance by approximately US$700 million
as of the second quarter ending June 30, 2007, to approximately
US$1.8 billion to alleviate some pressure on free cash flow.

Pro forma for the private placement and repayment of the term
loan, total debt was US$5.5 billion at June 30, 2007, and
consisted of:

    i) US$893 million Fab 36 Secured Term Loan due 2011;

   ii) US$1.5 billion 5.75% convertible senior unsecured notes
       due 2012;

  iii) US$2.2 billion 6% senior unsecured convertible notes due
       2015;

   iv) US$390 million senior unsecured notes due 2012; and

    v) other debt, including capital leases, of approximately
       US$556 million.

Ratings concerns center on:

-- significant product technology risk associated with the MPU
    market, potentially resulting in meaningful share shifts
    between AMD and Intel going forward, as well as continued
    cyclical operating results;

-- Intel's meaningful manufacturing technology advantage over
    AMD, driven by capital expenditures consistently in excess
    of US$5 billion, forcing AMD to aggressively upgrade
    manufacturing facilities; and

-- AMD's limited financial flexibility due to high debt levels
    coupled with significant spending requirements on capital
    equipment, R&D investments, and marketing initiatives.

The ratings continue to be supported by AMD's:

-- meaningfully higher share of the MPU market;

-- expectations for the ability to provide platform products
    to the marketplace and additional revenue growth
    opportunities from the acquisition of ATI Technologies
    (ATI); and

-- strengthened and expanding relationships with original
    equipment manufacturers (OEM), including Dell Inc. (rated
    'A/F1' on Rating Watch Negative by Fitch).

The Recovery Ratings continue to reflect Fitch's belief that AMD
would be reorganized rather than liquidated in a bankruptcy
scenario, given Fitch's estimates that AMD's current
reorganization value of US$1.5 billion remains higher than its
projected liquidation value of US$1.2 billion. In estimating
reorganization, Fitch assumes a 5 times multiple and 50% stress
to AMD's EBITDA for the latest 12 months ended June 30, 2007, of
approximately US$614 million. Fitch arrives at an adjusted
reorganization value of US$1.3 billion after subtracting
administrative and cooperative claims. Based upon these
assumptions and pro forma for the reduction of senior secured
debt (the remaining amounts related to Fab 36 are not rated by
Fitch) minimal recovery (0-10%) would be available for the
senior unsecured debt, resulting in 'RR6' ratings.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. -- http://www.amd.com/-- (NYSE:
AMD) designs and manufactures microprocessors and other
semiconductor products.  The company has a facility in
Singapore. It has sales offices in Belgium, France, Germany, the
United Kingdom, Mexico and Brazil.

QUEBECOR WORLD: S&P Places B+ Long-Term Corporate Credit Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its ratings on
printing company Quebecor World Inc., including the 'B+' long-
term corporate credit rating, on CreditWatch with negative
implications.

"The CreditWatch placement reflect Quebecor World's ongoing weak
performance and our concerns that the company's earnings, credit
measures, and financial flexibility could weaken further due to
a challenging pricing environment, operating losses in its
European division, and intense competition," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Lori Harris.  "Furthermore, Quebecor
World's waivers from its bank group for certain financial
covenants are only approved through to the release of its third-
quarter 2007 financial results," Ms Harris added.

Standard & Poor's expects that Quebecor World will need to re-
enter discussions with its bank group to either extend the
waivers or loosen its financial covenants because it's unlikely
to be in compliance following expiry of existing waivers.  In
addition, Quebecor World could begin discussions with its bank
group during this difficult time to negotiate renewing its US$1
billion revolving credit facility, which matures in January
2009.

Reported revenues and adjusted EBITDA were down 6% and 20%,
respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared
with the same period in 2006.  The adjusted EBITDA margin
declined to 7.5% in first-half 2007 from 8.9% in the same period
in 2006.  Although management has focused on restructuring
operations and retooling its equipment platform to improve cost
efficiencies and profitability, there are only limited signs of
pricing stabilization in the industry, a key driver of the
business turnaround.

Key credit measures (adjusted for operating leases, accounts
receivable securitization, preferred securities, and
nonrecurring charges) could weaken further from levels at
June 30, 2007.  Debt to EBITDA was 5.3x, funds from operations
to debt was 14%, and EBITDA interest coverage was 2.5x for
the 12 months ended June 30, 2007.

To resolve this CreditWatch listing, Standard & Poor's will meet
with management and review Quebecor World's overall financial
policies, as well as its operating and financial strategies.

Quebecor World Inc. (TSX: IQW) (NYSE: IQW) --
http://www.quebecorworld.com/-- provides print solutions to
publishers, retailers, catalogers and other businesses with
marketing and advertising activities.  Quebecor World has
approximately 29,000 employees working in more than 120 printing

NYLSTAR INC: Chapter 11 Plan Gets Conditional Court Approval
------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Virginia
gave conditional approval to Nylstar Inc.'s Disclosure
Statement, which was filed concurrently with its Chapter 11 Plan
of Reorganization.  The order effectively authorizes the Debtor
to immediately solicit votes on its Plan.

The Court set the hearing for final approval of the Disclosure
Statement and confirmation of the Plan on Aug. 23, 2007,
11:00 a.m., at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, 1101 Court Street,
Lynchburg, Virginia.  The Court also set Aug. 21, 2007 as the
deadline for filing objections to the Debtor's Disclosure
Statement.

The Debtor maintains that holding both hearings at the same time
will result in an expeditious and economical conclusion of the
case and will reduce the cost of administration.

                Treatment of Unclassified Claims

In its Plan, the Debtor proposes that each holder of an allowed
Administrative Claim will receive, on the Plan's distribution
date, cash equal to its unpaid portion.  Any administrative
claim incurred in the ordinary course of business will be paid
in accordance to the terms and conditions of any agreement.

Holders of Priority Tax Claims will be paid:

   * cash equal to its unpaid amount;
   * deferred cash payments over a period not exceeding six
     years after each claim's date of assessment; and
   * with certain values based on agreements between the Debtor
     and the tax claim holder.

                 Treatment of Classified Claims

The Debtor indicates in its Plan that holders of Class 1 Other
Priority Claims and Class 4 Convenience Claims will receive, in
full satisfaction, cash equal to the full amount of its allowed
claim.

The legal, equitable and contractual rights of the holders of
allowed Class 2 Other Secured Claims are unaltered by the Plan
and will be rendered unimpaired pursuant to section 1124 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

The holder of Class 3 Secured Loan Agreement Claim will receive:

   -- a 100% of the New Common Stock and the New PIK Preferred
      Stock issued by the Reorganized Debtor less the New
      Restricted Stock issued pursuant to a stock incentive
      management plan; and

   -- a reinstatement of US$15 million in principal obligations
      under the Secured Loan Agreement, as restructured by a new
      Senior Credit Agreement between the Debtor and Bear
      Stearns Investment Products, Inc.

Additionally, the holders of the following claims will not
receive or retain any property on account of their respective
claims:

   1) Class 5 General Unsecured Claims;
   2) Class 6 Subordianted Section 510(a) Claims;

DUERR AG: Earns EUR45,000 for First Half 2007
---------------------------------------------
Duerr AG posted EUR45,000 in net profit on EUR650.3 million in
net revenues for the first half of 2007, compared with EUR3.3
million in net losses on EUR626.3 million in net revenues for
the same period in 2006.

The earnings situation was impaired in the second quarter by
delays on projects in India, especially on a large order.  Duerr
launched a package of measures including, among other things, a
broadening of its local supplier base in India.  As a result of
the project delays, the gross margin sank to 16.1% from 17.0% in
the same period in 2006.

Internal processes are benefiting from the improvements
implemented under the Group-wide FOCUS program.  As a result,
administrative and selling expenses were down overall by 2.7% to
EUR89.7 million.

Owing to the good order situation and the first-time
consolidation of an Italian subsidiary with 40 employees, the
number of employees rose to 5,836 as of June 30, 2007.  This is
3.3% more than at the end of 2006.  The biggest increase was in
the growth region of Asia, where the number of employees rose by
16.0% to 697.

At 22.9%, the equity ratio at June 30, 2007 was virtually
unchanged versus the previous year (23.0%).  Net financial debt
amounted to EUR145.5 million at June 30, 2007 as compared with
EUR122.2 million a year earlier.  Duerr met most of its
financing requirements in the first half of 2007 from cash and
cash equivalents.

"New orders were 40% above sales revenues in the first half.
Our reach of orders has therefore continued to grow.  Capacities
are well utilized until far into 2008," Duerr AG CEO Ralf Dieter
commented.

                   Unchanged Positive Outlook

Duerr anticipates a sustained good order situation.  The company
expects that incoming orders in 2007 will at least match the
high 2006 level.  Duerr continues to forecast a significant
earnings improvement in 2007, especially as higher-margin orders
will be executed in the second half.

Much of the earnings growth will be realized in the fourth
quarter.  A further earnings improvement is expected in 2008.
The target return for 2008 is an unchanged at least 5% at the
operating earnings level.

                          About Duerr

AES CORPORATION: Earns US$247 Million in Second Quarter 2007
------------------------------------------------------------
The AES Corporation earned US$247 million for the second quarter
of 2007 compared to US$175 million of net income for the same
quarter in 2006.

The company's revenues increased 17% to US$3.3 billion compared
to US$2.9 billion for the second quarter of 2006, while net cash
from operating activities increased 19% to US$526 million
compared to US$442 million last year.

Second quarter income from continuing operations was US$279
million versus US$193 million in second quarter 2006.  Adjusted
earnings per share (a non-GAAP financial measure) was US$0.41
versus US$0.28 in second quarter 2006.  This increase in
adjusted earnings reflects the positive impacts of:

  * a net positive per share impact of US$0.15 due to one-time
    benefits from a gain associated with the acquisition of
    lessor interests and tax recoveries at certain
    subsidiaries;

  * improvements in gross margin;

  * decreases in net interest expense.

Offsetting these positive impacts were:

  * a higher effective tax rate;

  * higher minority interest expense; and

  * emissions sales that were lower by US$24 million, or
    US$0.03 impact per share.

During the quarter, the company continued to expand its
alternative energy business around the globe.  The company
acquired two wind farm projects totaling 186 MW in the United
States and acquired a 49% stake in a joint venture to construct
and operate 225 MW of wind projects in China.  The company also
completed the construction of its 233 MW Buffalo Gap II wind
farm in Texas.  In its core power business, the company
commenced construction of its first project in Jordan, a 370 MW
gas-fired power plant located outside of Amman, and acquired a
51% stake in a 390 MW pipeline of hydroelectric projects in
Turkey.

"We had a strong quarter in terms of both our operational
results and building our growth pipeline," said Paul Hanrahan,
AES President and CEO.  "We continued to develop our alternative
energy business and, with more than 1,000 MW of wind facilities
in operations, we are on track to triple our wind generation
capacity by 2011.  We are also making good progress growing our
traditional business, with expansions into the high growth
markets of Turkey and the Middle East."

                      About AES Corp.

the Caribbean countries.  Specifically, it also has operations
in India.  Generating 44,000 megawatts of electricity through
124 power facilities, the company delivers electricity through
15 distribution companies.

In Oct. 20, 2006, Moody's Investors Service's downgraded its B1
Corporate Family Rating for AES Corporation in connection with
the implementation of its new Probability-of-Default and Loss-
given-default rating methodology.  Additionally, Moody's revised
its probability-of-default ratings and assigned loss-given-
default ratings on the company's loans and bond debt obligations
including the B1 rating on its senior unsecured notes 7.75% due
2014, which was also given an LGD4 loss-given default rating,
suggesting noteholders will experience a 55% loss in the event
of a default.


TIMKEN CO: Moody's Affirms Low-B Ratings on Improved Performance
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service revised Timken Company's ratings
outlook to positive from stable.  The positive outlook reflects
improvements in the company's operating performance and leverage
as well as Moody's view that the company's margin volatility may
have been reduced as a result of the business transformation
initiatives it has pursued in the past few years.

At the same time, Moody's affirmed Timken's Ba1 corporate family
rating and the Ba1 rating on Timken's US$300 million Medium Term
Notes, Series A.

Moody's Ba1 ratings reflect Timken's market position as a
leading producer of tapered roller and needle bearings, its
well-regarded reputation and long operating history, along with
its moderate leverage and reduced pension underfunding.

However, the Ba1 ratings incorporate Moody's concern over the
ongoing poor operating performance of its automotive segment,
which comprises a significant proportion of the company's end
market exposure, low operating margins, and modest free cash
flow, which is due in part to elevated capital expenditures in
support of growth initiatives, working capital pressures and
pension contributions.

The stronger credit profile of the company reflects the
expansion into new industrial segments and international
markets, as well as the de-leveraging efforts in large part due
to the company's materially improved pension funding status
having made US$900 million in contributions to the plan since
2002.  The company continues to pursue growth initiatives, such
as its move into high growth markets, particularly, aerospace
and industrial, strategic divestitures of unprofitable
businesses and the expansion of global distribution channels.

SANYO ELECTRIC: In Talks w/ Sharp & Kyocera on Sale of Unit
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd., is separately negotiating with Sharp
Corp. and Kyocera Corp. about selling its mobile phone arm --
Telecom Sanyo Co. -- in the hope of concluding a deal by the end
of 2007, the Japan Times reports, citing industry sources.

According to the report, Sanyo plans to pull out of the cell
phone business to focus on core areas such as rechargeable
batteries and commercial-use equipment.

Telecom Sanyo, Japan Times says, booked an operating loss for
the first time in the business year through March 31 due mainly
to appraisal losses over inventories.  It also recorded a
deficit in the April-June period on sales of JPY47.6 billion,
down 42% from the year before, due to sluggish domestic sales.
The company had to revise downward its global sales target for
the business year through next March to 11 million handsets from
an initial 12.5 million.

The report points out that Sharp and Kyocera are believed to be
interested in Sanyo's technology as well as its overseas sales
networks.  However, Sanyo and the two companies have not
finalized agreements due to various conditions, including the
price, according to the sources.

Sanyo is considering advancing negotiations by putting the sale
out to tender, Japan Times cites its sources as saying.

The TCR-AP reported on Aug. 3 that Sanyo had explained that
Telecom Sanyo is solely a retail operator, and has no relation
to its mobile phone manufacturing business, after reports spread
that Sanyo is planning to sell its mobile phone handset
production business.

ALITALIA SPA: Air France-KLM Opens Door for Possible Talks
----------------------------------------------------------
Air France-KLM welcomed talks over a possible acquisition of the
Italian government's stake in Alitalia S.p.A., Thomson Financial
reports.

"We remain attentive and if we are contacted we will listen,"
Pierre-Henri Gourgeon, Air France-KLM Managing Director, was
quoted by Thomson Financial as saying.

As reported in the TCR-Europe on Aug. 9, 2007, Alitalia chairman
Maurizio Prato commenced the search for potential bidders for
the Italian government's stake in the troubled carrier, and may
meet representatives for Air France-KLM, Lufthansa, and
Aeroflot.

The chairman has also started informal talks with TPG Inc.,
MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC and AirOne S.p.A. -- all
bidders from the failed auction to privatize Italy's 39.9%
stake.

Italy terminated the sale process in July 2007 after AP Holding
S.p.A., a consortium of AirOne S.p.A. and Intesa-San Paolo
S.p.A., withdrew its bid to acquire the stake.  AP Holding said
that after reviewing the terms and conditions of the sale, it
will not submit a binding offer for the stake.

The consortium was the last to drop out from the bidding melee
after the team of OAO Aeroflot and Unicredit Italiano S.p.A.
left the bidding process.  A consortium of TPG Capital,
MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC and Mediobanca S.p.A. had
also pulled out from the race before MatlinPatterson re-entered
with its own bid.

The bidders had been apprehensive of the bidding conditions set
by the Italian government and had cited these requirements as
reasons for their withdrawal.

TEXCHEM RESOURCES: 2nd Qtr Profit Up on Gains from Unit Disposal
----------------------------------------------------------------
Texchem Resources Bhd's net profit doubled to MYR6.57 million in
the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, from MYR3.22 million a
year earlier, mainly due to an exceptional gain of MYR6.2
million from the disposal of Texchem Consumers Sdn Bhd, The Edge
Daily reports, citing the company's disclosure with the Bursa
Malaysia Securities Bhd.

Revenue fell to MYR306.08 million from MYR323.03 million mainly
due to the disposal of TCSB and lower sales volume achieved by
the family care, packaging and industrial divisions, which were
mitigated by higher sales from the food division, the newspaper
relates.

The company declared an interim dividend of 6% less tax.

Meanwhile, for the six-month period to June 30, Texchem's net
profit fell to MYR5.68 million from MYR7.63 million a year
earlier, while revenue fell 2.9% to MYR611.15 million from
MYR629.59 million.  Earnings per share declined to 4.57 sen from
6.15 sen.

"The first six months of this year was quite challenging," said
Texchem's president and chief operating officer, Jeffrey Lee.
"We appear to be turning the corner in our Myanmar seafood
processing operations, having addressed some structural and
operational issues, and built stronger disciplines and
efficiency.  The performance for the food division as a whole is
quite encouraging. However the good news from elsewhere is
offset by tough business conditions in both the industrial and
packaging divisions. Both are experiencing reduced sales
volumes.  We are looking at scaling back expenses as well as
ensuring we maximise returns by improving efficiencies. Quality
and efficiency will be the watchwords as some of the challenges
are unlikely to abate in the near term," he added.

The group's industrial division recorded a lower operating
profit compared to last year, a drop of 4.4% to MYR6.5 million
from MYR6.8 million.

According to the company, the decline in profit was mainly due
to the persistent high prices of chemical products and slowing
demand caused by the deceleration of manufacturing industry's
growth.  As such, the division was looking at growing beyond
Malaysia in order to sustain the business as well as to improve
on the growth potential.

The group's packaging division recorded a 56.6% decline in its
operating profit to MYR5.3 million from MYR12.2 million recorded
in the first half of 2006.

Texchem said the group was working on building a new factory
that would consolidate all the other manufacturing operations in
Thailand in preparation for future expansion plans.  The company
added that its family care division's operating profit rose
23.9% to MYR5.7 million in the first half of the year from
MYR4.6 million a year earlier.

Texchem said the food division was beginning to show positive
results, and recorded an operating profit of MYR500,00 compared
to the previous loss of MYR500,000 in the first half of 2006.

The company's net sales increased 13% from US$300.9 million

Steven L. Watson, vice chairman and chief executive officer,
said, "We continue to see long-term favorable demand trends
across all of our primary markets.  Our facilities are operating
at high capacity levels that improve cost efficiency,
contributing to our record levels of operating income.  While
our near-term focus remains on maximizing our existing
productive capacity through initiatives that emphasize
efficiency, innovation and technological advances, we are also
continuing our efforts to expand our productive capacity across
all areas of our manufacturing operations.  We are committed to
maintaining the certainty, quality and reliability of supply to
service the expanding needs of our current and prospective
customers.

"Our 4,000 metric ton Vacuum Distillation Process ("VDP") sponge
expansion in Henderson, Nevada commenced commercial production
in April 2007, and we expect to be operating at full annual
capacity of approximately 12,600 metric tons by the end of the
third quarter of 2007.  As part of our plans to assure our
future supply of raw materials, we are continuing our design,
engineering and site selection for a new VDP premium-grade
sponge facility.  We are also continuing to explore and pursue
additional third-party long-term sources of sponge and scrap.

"Our electron beam cold hearth ("EB") melt capacity addition in
Morgantown, Pennsylvania of approximately 8,500 metric tons,
annually, is on schedule for an anticipated completion date of
early 2008.  We also commenced efforts to add a similar EB
furnace at our Morgantown, Pennsylvania facility, scheduled to
be completed in the last half of 2009.  During 2007 we have also
commenced construction of additional vacuum arc remelt ("VAR")
capacity additions at our Witton, Morgantown and Savoie
locations, all of which are expected to be completed by the end
of the second quarter of 2008.  Upon completion, these melt
capacity additions will increase our EB melt capacity by
approximately 107% and will increase our VAR capacity by
approximately 34%.  As we continue to adjust our long-term
business plan in response to industry trends, we will consider
more additions to our melt capacity based on our raw material
sources and product mix.

"We have numerous other capital projects in process to improve
and expand our productive capacity for scrap recycling and
production of mill products.  We also continue to evaluate
opportunities to enter into long-term conversion agreements with
third parties to address certain areas of additional or expanded
manufacturing requirements as an alternative to the addition or
expansion of our internal manufacturing capacity.  Our ongoing
and planned expansions of sponge and melt capacities, as well as
our efforts to expand our key relationships with third-parties,
allow TIMET to remain positioned to effectively utilize
available resources to strategically invest in our business to
achieve profitable growth and return on invested capital.  We
continue to emphasize initiatives that will increase our
participation in downstream value-added products and services
which are expected to provide strong operating results."

said, "On behalf of the Board, we express our appreciation for

commented, "It has been a wonderful experience to be involved
with such a fine group of directors, officers and managers.  We

its stock holdings, leaving it with an ownership percentage of
less than 10% of the Huntsman equity."

Affiliates of MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC continue to
hold an interest in shares of Huntsman common stock by way of a
beneficial interest in HMP Equity Trust.  Pursuant to the terms

ELEKTRIM S.A.: Files Bankruptcy Petition in Warsaw Court
--------------------------------------------------------
Elektrim S.A. filed for bankruptcy protection in a court in
Warsaw on Aug. 10, 2007, after its second debt restructuring
talks with bondholders failed, BBC News reports.

According to the report, Elektrim reached a debt restructuring
deal with its bondholders in July 2002.  However, the telecoms-
to-utilities conglomerate defaulted on its first payment of
EUR100 million earlier this month.

Analysts say the bankruptcy filing may help pave the way for
more negotiations with creditors.

Elektrim, whose assets are almost entirely held in collateral
for EUR725 million owed to bondholders, wanted to ensure “fair
payment to its creditors,” Polish News Bulletin relates citing
the Financial Times as its source.

Polish News Bulletin revealed Elektrim is demanding a EUR40
million compensation from Vivendi alongside the bankruptcy
petition to cover legal costs in a row over the transfer of
shares of Polska Telfonia Cyfrowa Sp. z o.o. to Deutsche Telekom
AG.

Elektrim is also seeking a ruling on its disputed assets, which
include a controlling stake in power group PAK, AFX News states.

                        Covenant Breaches

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 to do so.

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
canceled.

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 filing.  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.

However, 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.

                          Vivendi Suit

In June 2007, Vivendi Holdings 1 Corp., the assignee of all
claims held by, among others, General Motors Corp. with respect
of its holding, through Everest Capital Ltd., of Elektrim
Finance BV 2% EUR510,000,000 bonds due Dec. 18, 2005, filed suit
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
Florida against:

  -- Law Debenture Trust Corporation, Plc (U.K.) for Breach of
     Fiduciary Duty and Breach of Contract, and

  -- Elekrim S.A. for Fraud and Breach of Contract.

LDTC served as Elektrim's bond trustee.

Among other things, the Complaint alleges that LDTC:

   (i) breached its fiduciary duty to General Motors and
       other Elektrim bondholders and

  (ii) breached the Second Supplemental Trust Deed, when
       it failed to disclose material information to
       the bondholders prior to the bondholders' decision
       to withdraw their bankruptcy petition against
       Elektrim and when it knowingly accepted proceeds of
       an illegal transaction.

The Complaint sought damages and an injunction requiring LDTC to
hold in escrow the proceeds relating to the illegal transfer to
Deutsche Telekom AG of shares of Polska Telfonia Cyfrowa Sp. z
o.o. under an option agreement.

                      Bondholder Litigation

The TCR-Europe reported on June 20, 2007, that Bingham McCutchen
LLP obtained judgment for the holders of Elektrim's EUR510
million bonds, 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.  Judge Lewison 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

ABROM SA: Completes Six-Month Voluntary Liquidation Period
----------------------------------------------------------
Abrom S.A. has completed its six-month liquidation period on
Aug. 1, 2007, with the company's closing pending plans to go
private, Bursa online reports, citing Newsln as its source.

The State Asset Recovery Authority noted the company's complete
reorganization, including the termination of all its employees.
If privatized, Bursa relates, the buyer is obliged to hire back
all employees and maintain Abrom’s core business, which is the
production of different abrasive products.

Nine potential bidders have expressed interest in Abrom's third
attempt at privatization after the company failed to secure a
bidder during its first two tenders.  According to the report,
the company's selling price was lowered by 20% after the first
tender and will be lowered by 40% compared to the initial price
for the third tender.

Headquartered in Barlad, Romania, Abrom manufactures abrasives.
It initiated voluntary liquidation after it failed to pay
overdue debts to the Romanian State and raw material suppliers.
Abrom reported debts of up to ROL28.1 million.

VOLGOTANKER OAO: EUR3.34 Bln Tax Claim Sinks Firm to Bankruptcy
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Moscow Arbitration Court commenced bankruptcy proceedings
against OAO Volgotanker after upholding a EUR3.34 billion tax
claim by the Russian Federal Tax Service, various reports say.

The court also appointed Alexander Volzhanin as supervisory
manager for Volgotanker, The Moscow Times reports.

According to Kommersant, Mr. Volzhanin will review Volgotanker's
financial situation and call a meeting, in which creditors will
decide whether to reorganize the company's finances or liquidate
its assets.

The Federal Tax Service filed tax claims against Volgotanker in
2004 after finding that that company illegally refunded export
VAT from the budget, Kommersant relates.

According to the report, the tax service filed a RUR4 billion
claim for unpaid taxes in 2001 to 2005.  The tax service also
filed two criminal cases against Volgotanker and had three
executives added to the international wanted list.

Volgotanker suspended its operations in 2006 after the tax
service seized 353 vessels from Volgotanker's fleet in 2005.

                           Asset Sale

The Federal State Property Fund is expected to auction the
company's bankruptcy assets in several lots, with United
Shipbuilding Corp. and Rosneft as potential bidders, Kommersant
reports.

The Property Fund had auctioned Volgotanker's five ships in May
2007 to recover a part of the debt, but canceled the sale in
July.

                       About the Company

JSC Volgotanker -- http://www.volgotanker.com/-- specializes in
the transportation of oil and petroleum products via Europe's

ACTUANT CORP: Paying US$0.08 Per Share Dividend on Oct. 15
----------------------------------------------------------
Actuant Corporation's Board of Directors has approved a cash
dividend on the Company's common stock.  The Board declared a
dividend of US$0.08 per common share payable on Oct. 15, 2007,
to shareholders of record at the close of business on
Sept. 28, 2007.

Headquartered in Butler, Wis., Actuant Corp. (NYSE: ATU) --
http://www.actuant.com/-- is a diversified industrial company
with operations in more than 30 countries including Australia,
China, Italy, United Kingdom, Brazil, among others.  The Actuant
businesses are market leaders in highly engineered position and
motion control systems and branded hydraulic and electrical
tools and supplies.  The company employs a workforce of more
than 6,700 worldwide.

                       *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
June 6, 2007, Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba2 (LGD3,
43%) rating to Actuant Corporation's US$250 million senior
unsecured notes and affirmed the company's Ba2 Corporate Family
Rating.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB-' rating to
Actuant Corp.'s proposed US$250 million senior unsecured notes
due 2017.  The proceeds from the notes will be principally used
to repay a portion of borrowings under the company's senior
credit facility due 2009.


ADVANCED MICRO: Prices US$1.5 Bln of 5.75% Convertible Sr. Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. has completed the pricing of US$1.5
billion aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Convertible Senior
Notes due 2012 in a private placement to qualified institutional
buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.

AMD granted to the initial purchaser a 30-day option to purchase
up to US$225 million aggregate principal amount of additional
notes to cover over-allotments, if any.  Interest on the notes
will be paid semiannually on Feb. 15, 2007, and Aug. 15, 2007,
at a rate of 5.75% per year.

The notes will be convertible into shares of common stock based
on an initial conversion rate of 49.6771 shares per US$1,000
principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial
conversion price of approximately US$20.13 per share.  This
initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately
50% relative to the last reported sale price on Aug. 8, 2007, of
AMD’s common stock of US$13.42 per share.  Holders of the notes
may require AMD to repurchase the notes for cash equal to 100%
of the principal amount to be repurchased plus accrued and
unpaid interest upon the occurrence of certain designated
events.

AMD estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be
approximately US$1,479 million, or about US$1,701 million if the
initial purchaser exercises its over-allotment option in full,
after deducting discounts, commissions and estimated offering
expenses.

AMD intends to use the net proceeds of the offering, together
with available cash, to repay in full the outstanding balance of
the term loan AMD entered into with Morgan Stanley Senior
Funding, Inc. in October 2006.  If the initial purchaser
exercises its over-allotment option, AMD intends to use the
additional net proceeds for general corporate purposes,
including working capital and capital expenditures.

                            About AMD

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. -- http://www.amd.com/-- (NYSE:
AMD) designs and manufactures microprocessors and other
semiconductor products.

Brazil.

                             *   *   *

The TCR-Europe reported on Aug. 6, 2007, that Moody's Investors
Service has downgraded the ratings of Advanced Micro Devices'
US$390 million senior notes due 2012 to B2 from Ba2 and upgraded
the ratings of the US$1.6 billion term loan due 2013 to Ba1 from
Ba2.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B/Negative/--'
corporate credit rating on Sunnyvale, California-based Advanced
Micro Devices Inc.  At the same time, Standard & Poor's lowered
the rating on the company's 7.75% senior notes due 2012 to 'B–'
from 'BB-', which is now rated the same as the company's other
senior unsecured notes, reflecting release of the collateral
securing the issue.

Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'CCC+/RR6' rating to Advanced Micro
Devices Inc.'s private placement of US$1.5 billion 5.75%
convertible senior notes due 2012.  The 'CCC+/RR6' rating also
applies to up to US$225 million of additional notes issued
within the next 30 days to cover over-allotments.  The 'BB-/RR2'
rating on AMD's US$1.69 billion Term Loan B due 2010 is affirmed
and withdrawn, as the company will use net proceeds from debt
issuance, as well as available cash, to fully repay the term
loan.

BRITISH ENERGY: Expects Heysham Nuclear Reactor to be Up Soon
-------------------------------------------------------------
British Energy Group plc's Heysham 2-7 nuclear reactor is
expected to resume service soon after an electrical fault shut
it down on Aug. 7, 2007, Reuters reports, quoting a company
spokesperson as saying.

"Inspections on Heysham 2-7 so far suggest that the unit will be
returned to service in the short term," the spokesperson said,
Reuters notes.  "We are still completing the inspection and may
take the opportunity to carry out additional maintenance," she
added.

She further said that any extra maintenance to be carried out on
the plant would not significantly extend the shutdown, Reuters
relates.

The 625-megawatt reactor, one of two units at the power station
in north-west England, tripped on Tuesday when the power supply
it needs to run properly failed, Reuters states.  BE brought two
nuclear plants located in Hunterston and Hinkley Point back from
long-term outages in the spring.

to reduce costs and adjust buying and pricing strategies.  These

FOPP LTD: Sells Brand & Six Stores to HMV for Undisclosed Sum
-------------------------------------------------------------
HMV Group Plc bought the brand of Fopp Ltd. and six of its
stores for an undisclosed amount, BBC News reports.

HMV said that the Fopp stores in Glaslow, Edinburg, Covent
Garden, Manchester, Nottingham and Cambridge, were trading
profitably before they were closed and that the sale would save
around 70 jobs at Fopp, BBC relates.  The six stores will
continue to trade under Fopp.

"Ownership of the Fopp brand will enable us to preserve Fopp's
unique identity and trading culture," HMV spokesman Gennaro
Castaldo was quoted by BBC as saying.  "These stores will
operate independently of the main HMV chain in order to preserve
their distinct customer offer.”

700 jobs at Fopp Ltd. and MZ 2007 Ltd. across the United Kingdom
have been lost due to store closures.  There are 50 Fopp stores
and 31 Music Zone stores across the U.K. with about 800
employees.

ISOFT GROUP: Set to Deliver LORENZO to CSC Early Next Year
----------------------------------------------------------
iSOFT Group plc is committed to deliver LORENZO 3.5 to Computer
Sciences Corp. by early 2008.  CSC in turn is due to start
rolling it out to the National Programme for IT in England
(NPfIT) from mid 2008 onwards.

“Our aim over the next few years is to exploit fully the
existing portfolio of strategic products -- especially iPM and
iCM -- prior to the gradual introduction of LORENZO from mid-
2008 onwards,” John Weston, chairman and acting chief executive
officer of iSOFT, said.

                      New Agreement with CSC

In August 2006, iSOFT entered into a new contract with CSC, with
whom it has been working successfully in the North-West region
of the NPfIT since 2004.  Under that contract iSOFT agreed to be
paid by CSC based on delivery against a number of key
milestones.  The majority of these milestones involved key
product deliverables, comprising interim stages leading to the
delivery of full LORENZO 3.5 functionality in the first quarter
of 2008.  As the quid pro quo for greater control and certainty
over payment, iSOFT agreed that in the event it failed to
deliver on time against the key milestones, CSC would have the
right to step in and manage iSOFT's development operation, but
without taking over any intellectual property rights.

The agreement was entered into in anticipation of a major
redistribution of responsibilities within the NPfIT.  In
September 2006 it was announced that Accenture would transfer to
CSC its obligations to provide services to the North-East and
East and East Midlands regions with effect from Jan. 8, 2007 and
CSC retained iSOFT to provide software in the regions that it
took over.

The August 2006 agreement with CSC has recently been superseded.
On June 18, 2007, iSOFT and CSC 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 although the
responsibility for employment of all such staff would 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 (i.PM)
and i.Integration Engine (i.IE) for the NPfIT, two of iSOFT's
current products.  The provision and support of these products
by iSOFT for other customers will be unaffected.

Some two-thirds of license payments to iSOFT under the new
agreement will for the next three years be calendar-based and
the remainder will be based on mutually agreed milestones in
order to ensure the alignment of both parties' interests.  At
the same time, CSC gave its consent under the August 2006
agreement to a change of control in the ownership of iSOFT.

Under the terms of the CompuGROUP offer for iSOFT that was
published on July 20, 2007, CompuGROUP declared that, if it is
successful in acquiring iSOFT, it intends to sell to CSC those
parts of iSOFT's operations that are currently under CSC
management and which develop and support product for the NPfIT
and that CompuGROUP will transfer to CSC copies of certain
source codes, tangible assets and staff resources used by iSOFT
in the business of the development and support of the NHS
versions of the LORENZO software and the NPfIT versions of
i.Patient Manager and i.Integration Engine.

The initial target of this program was to reduce the annualized
cost base from GBP210 million at the start of last year, to
below GBP180 million in the financial year which commenced
May 1, 2007.

                         About LORENZO

LORENZO is iSOFT's flagship strategic offering and it is central
to the group's future.  It is an integrated healthcare system,
built using a modern service oriented architecture and adopting
web-based protocols.  It is designed to be flexible, adaptable
and will provide customers with easy operability and lower costs
of ownership than any other healthcare IT product.  That
flexibility will enable customers to upgrade existing systems
incrementally, phase and manage their investment resources and
provide them with a low-risk, fully compatible upgrade path.

LORENZO comprises several layers of development.  The technology
layers provide a framework within which both iSOFT and third-
party systems can be retained by customers but enabled to
communicate securely with newly installed LORENZO solution
applications.  LORENZO functionality is now being tested at
early adopter sites in Germany and the Netherlands.

iSoFT group continues to apply substantial resources to the
development of LORENZO, with much of that resource located in
Chennai and Hyderabad in India, where the group now has
approaching 1,300 employees, being enhanced by resources from
CSC.

                          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 iSOFT revealed a change in accounting policy for
revenue recognition, as a consequence of which it became
necessary to review and restate revenues in prior years.
Arising out of that review a number of possible accounting
irregularities came to light in which it appears that some
revenues reported in the financial years ended April 30, 2004
and 2005 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
we handed over relevant documents to the Financial Services
Authority (FSA), which is now conducting that investigation.
The Group is working closely and cooperatively with the FSA in
order to complete the investigation as quickly as possible.

On Oct. 25, 2006 the Accountancy Investigation and Discipline
Board (AIDB) announced that it will 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 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.

At the present time the Group has no indication of when either
the FSA or the AIDB intend to conclude their investigations and
report.  On the basis of information that has come to light so
far, the directors consider that the restatement of revenues in
the financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2006
corrected, where appropriate, the impact of these particular
matters.  As the investigation is not yet concluded, it is not
possible for the Board to finally determine what implications,
if any, may arise from the conclusion of the investigations into
these matters.  Nevertheless they must be thoroughly
investigated and the Group will continue to cooperate with both
organizations.

                      Going Concern Doubt

At April 30, 2007, in preparing their cash flow projections,
iSOFT’s directors recognize that there are material
uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Group's
ability to continue as a going concern.

The nature of the Group's business is such that there can be
considerable unpredictable variation and uncertainty regarding
the timing and margin on sales, the quantum and timing of cash
flows from new business activity and the achievement of
contractual milestones.  In addition, until the proposed
CompuGROUP transaction legally completes, the successful
completion of the transaction (including shareholder and court
approval) and ongoing willingness and ability of CompuGROUP to
provide financial support to the Group remain uncertainties.
Should the transaction not proceed, it would be necessary to
extend or renegotiate the Group's banking agreements beyond
their current expiry date of Nov. 14, 2007.

NUANCE COMMS: Prices US$220 Mln Offer of Sr. Conv. Debentures
-------------------------------------------------------------
Nuance Communications Inc. priced its offering of US$220 million
aggregate principal amount of 2.75% senior convertible
debentures due 2027 through an offering to qualified
institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.  The sale of the debentures is expected
to close on Aug. 13, 2007, subject to satisfaction of customary
closing conditions.  Nuance also granted the initial purchasers
a 30-day over-allotment option to purchase up to US$30 million
aggregate principal amount of additional debentures.

The debentures will bear interest at a rate of 2.75% per year,
payable in cash semi-annually in arrears, beginning on Feb. 15,
2008.  The debentures will be convertible, subject to certain
conditions, into shares of Nuance's common stock at an initial
conversion rate of 51.3736 shares per US$1,000 principal amount
of the debentures, which is equivalent to an initial conversion
price of about US$19.47 per share and which represents a 22.5%
premium to the closing share price on Aug. 7, 2007, subject to
adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

Upon conversion of a debenture, a holder will receive cash in an
amount equal to the lesser of US$1,000 and the conversion value
and, if the conversion value is greater than US$1,000, payment
of the excess value in the form of cash and/or shares of
Nuance's common stock, at Nuance's option.  Nuance may redeem
the Debentures in whole or in part on or after Aug. 20, 2014.
Holders of the Debentures may require Nuance to purchase all or
a portion of their debentures, in cash, on Aug. 15, 2014, Aug.
15, 2017, and Aug. 15, 2022, and upon the occurrence of certain
fundamental changes.

Nuance intends to use the net proceeds from the offering,
together with cash on hand, to fund its previously announced
acquisition of Tegic Communications Inc.

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.
