DELPHI CORP: Disclosure Statement Hearing Continued to Nov. 29
--------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
has agreed to continue until Nov. 29 a hearing previously
scheduled for Nov. 8 to consider potential amendments to Delphi
Corp. and its debtor-affiliates' Joint Plan of Reorganization
and related Disclosure Statement as well as an amendment to the
company's Investment Agreement.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Nov. 6, 2007,
Delphi Corp. asked the Court to adjourn until later this month a
hearing currently scheduled for Nov. 8.  The purpose of the
adjournment is to continue discussions with Delphi's Statutory
Committees, both of which filed objections on Nov. 2 to the
Disclosure Statement and Investment Agreement amendment approval
motions, and other stakeholders, some of which also filed
objections.

Consistent with the company's expectations previously disclosed,
the conditions to the effectiveness of the Investment Agreement
amendment reported on Oct. 30 were not satisfied prior to the
Nov. 8 scheduled hearing.  As a result, Delphi's Plan Investors
are no longer obligated to execute the Oct. 30 amendment,
although the underlying Investment Agreement remains effective
in accordance with its terms as approved by the Bankruptcy Court
in August 2007.  The adjournment, which was approved by the
Bankruptcy Court on Nov. 7, will permit the company to continue
discussions with its principal stakeholders, including Delphi's
Statutory Committees, Plan Investors and General Motors Corp.

In order to proceed with the Nov. 29 hearings, the Bankruptcy
Court's supplemental scheduling order requires Delphi to use
commercially reasonable efforts to file additional potential
amendments to the Company's Disclosure Statement, Plan of
Reorganization, Investment Agreement with the Plan Investors and
Global Settlement Agreement with GM by Nov. 16.

Delphi continues to expect that it will emerge from chapter 11
during the first quarter of 2008.

CHRYSLER LLC: Labor Agreement Does Not Affect Fitch's Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Chrysler LLC's Issuer Default Rating 'B+'; Outlook Stable are
unaffected by the recent ratification of a new labor agreement
with the United Auto Workers.  The rating of 'BB+/RR1' on the
US$7.5 billion first-lien senior secured term loan, as well as
the US$2 billion senior secured second-lien term loan, based on
expectations of full recovery in a stress scenario, is likewise
unaffected.

Ratings for Chrysler reflect the intense competitive conditions
in the North American auto market, an uncertain U.S. economic
outlook entering 2008, declining market share, an unbalanced
product mix, stresses in the supply base, high leverage in a
high fixed-cost industry, and an ongoing restructuring program.
Positives include the cost benefits and improved competitive
position to be derived from the new UAW contract, Chrysler's
relative success across a number of product segments, the
benefits of its relationship with Daimler AG and international
growth opportunities.

Fitch Ratings believes weakening economic growth in the U.S. has
created an increasingly uncertain outlook for industry sales in
2008.  In particular, the key pickup truck market will continue
to be affected by depressed housing market conditions.  Coupled
with the pruning of its product line and a targeted reduction in
fleet sales, share losses may continue and Chrysler will be
challenged to halt revenue declines.  Depending on the extent of
the expected drop in industry sales, Chrysler will be challenged
to reverse negative cash flows when factoring in restructuring
costs.  Incremental flexibility resulting from the new UAW
contract, however, will allow Chrysler greater flexibility to
size its production and costs to market conditions, thereby
reducing downside risks and cash drains in a downturn.

Nevertheless, the current product pipeline -- including new
minivans and the 2008 introductions of the Journey crossover,
the Dodge Ram pickup and the low-volume, high-profile Challenger
-- will help to support revenues and retail market share through
2008 and into early 2009.  Although the minivan market continues
to decline, the exit of Ford Motor Company (IDR of 'B' with a
Negative Outlook) and General Motors Corp.  (IDR of 'B' with a
Negative Outlook) from this market, and new features provided by
the new Dodge and Chrysler offerings could further augment its
market leading position.  The new Journey crossover is aimed at
one of the most rapidly-growing segments of the market where
Ford and GM have both enjoyed recent success.

Although the pickup truck market is not expected to rebound
significantly through 2008, in line with expectations for the
housing market, the numerous difficulties surrounding the Toyota
Tundra launch lend confidence to the ability of the Detroit 3 to
defend this highly-profitable segment.  Dodge's new pickup
offerings will also include a light-duty diesel product.
Continuing double-digit growth in export sales will also provide
marginal support to consolidated revenues.  Quality issues
remain a concern.

The new UAW contract will help Chrysler transition to a more
competitive wage and benefit structure over the next several
years, although a structural cost gap will still remain versus
the transplants.  The most significant cost savings will derive
from a reduction in the hourly work force of approximately 30%
from December 2006 to December 2008, along with a transition of
as much as 20% of the remaining U.S. hourly workforce to lower
wage and benefit levels.  This could result in a longer-term
reduction in consolidated wage and benefit costs by more than a
third when factoring in temporary workers.  The transition of
new hires to defined contribution pension and health care
programs also reduces longer-term structural risks.  Reductions
in the hourly workforce have been accompanied by commensurate
reductions in salaried and contract workers.  Nevertheless,
transplant manufacturers will retain a meaningful cost advantage
resulting from platform and parts commonality, flexible
manufacturing capability, capital investment efficiency and
quality.

The establishment of a VEBA, and the associated transfer of
healthcare liabilities represents a significant transfer of
medical cost inflation risk from Chrysler to the UAW.  The
funding of the VEBA through a combination of existing VEBA
funds, wage and Cost of Living Allowance allocation transfers,
and debt was prudently funded to preserve required operating
liquidity at Chrysler.  The benefits, which will begin to be
realized until 2010, are significant in relation to the upfront
funding requirements.  Net liquidity, however, may be modestly
reduced, during a period of industry uncertainty.

Chrysler's market share has held up relatively well versus Ford
and GM over the past seven years, although sales performance has
been habitually boosted through over-production, incentives and
higher fleet sales.  Relatively moderate declines in market
share have resulted from better performance across a number of
product segments, which has aided capacity utilization and
resulted in more modest capacity cutbacks than at Ford and GM.
(Chrysler currently has one assembly plant scheduled for
closure.)  As a result, cost reductions should more directly
translate into improved margin and cash flow performance.  In a
more favorable industry environment then currently projected the
combination of Chrysler's product performance and material cost
reductions could put Chrysler on a path to positive cash flow.
Chrysler's sales outside NAFTA (approximately 8% in 2006) is
growing rapidly and could represent an important factor in
sustaining capacity utilization if export growth continues at
its current pace.  Fitch believes the current U.S. dollar
weakness could also support further export market gains.

The relationship with Daimler AG (which retains a 19.8%
ownership stake in Chrysler) remains an important factor in the
rating.  Although cost synergies did not materialize to the
extent forecasted following the merger of the two entities,
joint programs involving platform consolidation, parts
commonality, purchasing initiatives, research and development,
etc. remain intact and are expected to result in achievement of
variable cost reductions over the longer term.  Access to
Daimler powertrain, safety, emission and other technologies
provides R&D scale that Chrylser would otherwise lack, and which
is critical to remaining globally competitive.  In particular,
access to Daimler's diesel technology could represent an
important competitive advantage as diesel products gain traction
in North America, as expected.

Strategically, Chrysler has displayed an 'asset-lite' approach
to its expansion plans.  Chrysler has demonstrated this approach
by contracting out manufacturing of its vehicles in Europe,
utilizing its North American capacity to manufacturer non-
Chrysler brands, and outsourcing on-site non-assembly
operations.  Fitch expects that Chrysler will continue to
leverage its brands, engineering and design, technologies and
products to expand its global presence through joint-ventures,
alliances, etc. in a capital efficient manner.  Chrysler's
joint-venture with China-based Chery, expected to eventually
manufacture exports to the U.S., is consistent with this
strategy.

Over the intermediate term, legislative and regulatory risks
across a wide spectrum of issues are rising, which could lead to
changes in consumer demand, cost competitiveness, product
standards, investment requirements, etc.  Issues include fuel
efficiency requirements, emissions standards, safety standards,
tax policies and free-trade policies, etc.  The majority of
which could adversely impact operating performance at Chrysler.

Fitch's rating of 'BB+/RR1' on the first-lien and second-lien
portions of the term loan reflects expectations of full recovery
in the event of a restructuring event.  The loans are secured by
substantially all of Chrysler's tangible and intangible assets
and is subject to a borrowing base.  Fitch's recovery
methodology model incorporates a scenario of materially reduced
market share and revenues, a continuation of manufacturing
operations, and a high level of cash remaining on the balance
sheet to finance ongoing working capital obligations.  Recovery
values, as has been the pattern in the auto parts sector,
reflect the substantial savings in wages, benefits, asset
rationalization and other fixed costs than can be realized as
part of the restructuring process.

Fitch views Chrysler's gains in plant efficiency, the core
strength of certain product lines, and the value of certain
brands (particularly Jeep) and a growing global presence would
lead to continued production by these plants, thereby enhancing
the emerging enterprise value and supplementing recovery values
obtained from other working capital and physical assets.
Although Chrysler Financial remains a separate legal entity,
incentives exist for Cerberus to keep Chrysler capitalized in
order to retain the value and viability of Chrysler Financial.

DURA AUTOMOTIVE: Court Approves US$425 Million Exit Financing
-------------------------------------------------------------
DURA Automotive Systems Inc. and its debtor-affiliates sought
and obtained approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware of an engagement letter and a fee letter
entered into with Goldman Sachs Credit Partners, L.P., and
Barclays Capital, the investment banking division of Barclays
Bank, PLC, for a US$425 million financing to emerge from Chapter
11.  DURA expects US$300 million of the loan to be funded on the
effective date of its Plan of Reorganization.

The Court has approved the Engagement Letter and the Fee Letter
in all respects.  The Court's order did not specify whether the
U.S. Trustee's concerns were addressed.

Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, Goldman Sachs and Barclays,
as arrangers, have offered to syndicate exit financing for Dura
Operating Corp.:

   (a) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an amount
       up to US$125 million;

   (b) a senior secured first-lien tranche B term loan facility
       in amount up to US$225 million; and

   (c) a senior secured second-lien term loan facility in an
       amount up to US$75 million.

Goldman Sachs will be the administrative agent for the First
Lien Term Facility, and Barclays Capital will be administrative
agent for the Revolving Facility.

Jason M. Madron, Esq., at Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., in
Wilmington, Delaware, noted that the Debtors' emergence from
bankruptcy is predicated on funding from two key sources -- the
exit facility and the US$140 million to US$160 million rights
offering backstopped by Pacificor, LLC.  The backstop deal with
Pacificor has already been approved by the Court.

The Debtors, with the assistance of their investment banker,
Miller Buckfire & Co., initiated discussions with, and solicited
exit financing proposals from, a variety of potential exit
lenders.  The Debtors have decided to pursue a joint proposal
from Goldman Sachs and Barclays.

The Debtors are not yet seeking approval of the exit financing.
The documents submitted for the Bankruptcy Court's approval do
not constitute not a commitment, and do not oblige the Barclays
and Goldman Sachs, or their affiliates to provide the exit
facility or any other financing.  The Debtors only sought Judge
Kevin Carey's approval to pay fees and reimburse the expenses
of, and to grant indemnification to, the Arrangers.

The Debtors did not specify the fees to be paid to the Arrangers
or the amount of expenses they will reimburse.  The Debtors have
redacted the Fee Letter filed with the Court.

The Debtors said that the indemnification, fees and expense
reimbursements are necessary to compensate the Arrangers for
their time and efforts in soliciting lender interest for the
exit facility and are customary for transactions of similar
nature.

The Debtors asked the Court hear their proposal on an expedited
basis and have scheduled a November 8 hearing on the matter.
The Debtors' proposal faced opposition from the U.S. Trustee.

Kelly Beaudin Stapleton, the United States Trustee for Region 3,
warned that the Debtors may be improperly retaining Barclays, et
al., as estate professionals under Section 327(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code.  She said that it appears that Barclays, et
al., have been tasked to act as investment bankers with respect
to the exit facility when the Debtors have employed Miller
Buckfire as their investment bankers.

The U.S. Trustee also disputed the filing of the Fee Letter
under seal on grounds that it stops the public from viewing
certain economic terms of the arrangement.

AES CORP: Seeking Regulators' Approval on Two Gas Projects
----------------------------------------------------------
AES Corporation is seeking the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission's authorization for the construction of a liquefied
natural gas terminal at the Sparrows Point shipyard and an 88-
mile pipeline into Pennsylvania, The Baltimore Sun reports.

The National Association of State Fire Marshals and federal
regulators heeded a request from some Turners Station residents
to consider the approval for liquefied natural gas projects,
according to The Sun.  The Fire Marshals and regulators will
meet in Washington about the approval process.

O'Rourke of the National Association of State Fire Marshals told
The Sun, "Some folks who, to date, haven't been involved -- who
missed those initial hearings -- wanted to learn about the LNG
[liquefied natural gas] approval process."

The Sun relates that many community leaders and officials have
been opposing the project.

The terminal would be a potential hazard to nearby homes in
Dundalk, especially to those in Turners Station, The Sun says,
citing sources.

Federal officials had notified AES that the State Highway
Administration would not grant the company access to construct
its pipeline along the Baltimore Beltway.  They asked the firm
to present a new route for the pipeline, The Sun states.

AVEBURY FINANCE: Moody's Cuts Ratings on Two Note Classes
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investor Service placed US$7.34 billion of European CDOs
on review for possible downgrade and downgraded US$254.13
million.

The rating actions are a response to credit deterioration of the
underlying portfolios, which include significant exposure to
CDOs of US ABS and to downgraded US subprime RMBS securities of
the 2006 vintage.  They also incorporate Moody's view on the
impact of exposure to other US RMBS and ABS CDO vintages,
particularly 2005 and 2007.

Moody's downgraded and placed on review for further possible
downgrade two classes of notes issued by Avebury Finance CDO
Plc:

   -- The US$6,000,000 Class D Deferrable Floating Rate Notes
      due 2051, to B3 from Baa2;

   -- The US$3,500,000 Class E Deferrable Floating Rate Notes
      due 2051, to Caa3 from Ba1.

A total of 129 tranches from 36 CDOs are affected, with the
proportion of downgraded subprime assets present in individual
portfolios ranging from 6.00% to 83.35%.  The average exposure
of affected CDOs to downgraded 2006 US RMBS securities is
12.98%, whilst the average exposures to 2005 and 2007 US RMBS
securities are 13.31% and 2.20% respectively.  For 2006 and 2007
ABS CDOs, average exposures amount to 9.68% and 2.16%
respectively.

The most negatively impacted are those containing US ABS CDOs
and 2006 US subprime RMBS assets that were originally rated Baa
or below, due to the greater severity of downgrades already
experienced by these securities.  Moody's will continue to
monitor all deals with exposure to US subprime RMBS and will
take further actions in respect of all CDOs placed under review
for downgrade once the extent of actual downgrades to 2005 and
2007 US RMBS and ABS CDO vintages becomes known.


CLOVERIE PLC: Moody's Cuts Rating to Ba1 on US$20 Mln Notes

Moody's downgraded and places on review for further possible
downgrade two classes of notes issued by Cloverie PLC - Series
2007-32 and Series 2007-33:

   -- The US$80,000,000 Series 2007-32 Class B Credit Linked
      Notes, to Baa1 from Aaa;

   -- The US$20,000,000 Series 2007-33 Class C Credit Linked
      Notes, to Ba1 from Aa2.

A total of 129 tranches from 36 CDOs are affected, with the

portfolios ranging from 6.00% to 83.35%.  The average exposure
of affected CDOs to downgraded 2006 US RMBS securities is
12.98%, whilst the average exposures to 2005 and 2007 US RMBS
securities are 13.31% and 2.20% respectively.  For 2006 and 2007

billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to a net
loss of US$27.6 million in the prior quarter and a net loss of
US$28.1 million for the same period last year.

   *  Inventory decreased US$72.7 million, inventory turns
      improved to 8.9 in Q4'07

"I am pleased with our gross margin improvement, cash flow
generation and inventory turns during the fourth quarter.  We
are confident that we will continue to improve our financial
metrics.  We are committed to driving our ROIC above our
weighted cost of capital as we exit fiscal year 2008,"
stated Jure Sola, chairman and chief executive officer.

"The basis for Sanmina-SCI's operational excellence strategy in
2008 and beyond is to focus on high-end markets that offer the
greatest opportunity for success, invest in leading edge
technology, and provide unparalleled end-to- end manufacturing
solutions to our customers," concluded Mr. Sola.

             Personal and Business Computing Division

Consistent with previous announcements made by the company
concerning its personal and business computing business unit,
the company reaffirmed its intentions of separating this
business unit from its core operations either by means of a sale
or other disposition of the business.  This business unit
includes the company's personal computing and industry standard
server businesses, their related BTO/CTO operations in Mexico
and Hungary and their associated logistics activities.  The
company expect the disposition of this business to occur over
the next 12 months.

               First Quarter Fiscal 2008 Outlook

The company provides these guidance with respect to the first
fiscal quarter ending Dec. 29, 2007:

   *  Revenue is expected to be in the range of US$2.5 billion
      to US$2.65 billion

ALITALIA SPA: Board Says Baldassare Group Incompatible with Bid
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of Alitalia S.p.A. concluded that it was
still impossible to carry out appraisals, even of a preliminary
nature, as to whether the consortium being set up by Antonio
Baldassarre would have the necessary requisites to take part in
the Company's project aimed at rapidly identifying industrial
and financial subjects committed to carrying forward Alitalia's
restructuring, development and re-launching and willing to
acquire a majority shareholding in the Company.

In fact, Mr. Baldassarre stated that there would be a further
delay in providing the basic elements for taking part in the
project.

The Board judged this fact to be more than sufficient to
consider no longer compatible -- also in the opinion of Advisor
Citi -- the time for examining the relationship with the
aforementioned consortium with the time envisaged for Alitalia's
decision regarding the overall project.

As reported in the TCR-Europe on Oct. 18, 2007, the consortium,
composed of Engineering S.p.A., I Viaggi del Ventaglio S.p.A.,
SAFNA, Aermar Srl, Mivtach shamir H Ltd. and Reficere, will have
a starting capital of EUR1 billion to EUR1.5 billion.

The group does not plan to downscale Alitalia's operations in
Milan Malpensa and Rome Fiumicino airports, but will instead
increase routes.

Mr. Baldassare told Thomson Financial that the consortium plans
to launch long-haul routes to Africa and the Middle East as well
as maintain Alitalia's existing role, he said.  He expects
Alitalia to allow the possible buyers to perform diligence on
the company's books.

As reported in the TCR-Europe on Oct. 10, 2007, Alitalia decided
to open talks, through the financial advisor Citi and industrial
advisor Roland Berger, with:

   -- OAO Aeroflot,
   -- Air France-KLM,
   -- AP Holding S.p.A.,
   -- Cordata Baldassarre,
   -- Deutsche Lufthansa AG,
   -- TPG Capital.

                             About Alitalia

http://www.alitalia.it/-- provides air travel services for
passengers and air transport of cargo on national, international
and inter-continental routes.  The Italian government owns 49.9%

in 2000 and 2001 respectively.  Alitalia posted EUR93 million in
net profits in 2002 after a EUR1.4 billion capital injection.

IMPRESS HOLDINGS: IPO Plans Cue S&P Watch on B+ Ratings
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'B+' long-term
corporate credit rating on Netherlands-based metal packaging
group Impress Holdings B.V. on CreditWatch with positive
implications.

At the same time, the 'BB-' rating on the EUR615 million and
US$175 million senior secured notes and the 'B-' rating on the
EUR250 million senior subordinated notes were also placed on
CreditWatch with positive implications.  This follows the
group's intention of an IPO with proceeds in excess of EUR600
million.

"The CreditWatch placement reflects Standard & Poor's
expectation that Impress' credit profile would benefit from a
successful IPO, as the group has stated the intention to use
parts of the proceeds to repay high cost debt," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Izabela Listowska.

This could potentially lead to a higher rating, although it
should be noted that the group's current credit measures are
somewhat weak for the existing ratings.

Standard & Poor's will follow the developments of Impress' IPO
plans.  Any potential upgrade will depend on a successful
completion of an IPO and its impact on the group's financial
profile.  In addition, Standard & Poor's will review the group's
business and financial strategies before resolving the
CreditWatch placement.

"The current ratings on Impress primarily reflect the group's
highly leveraged financial profile," added Ms. Listowska.
Impress offsets this by its strong European market positions in
aluminum- and steel-based packaging for food products, and in
decorative and protective finishes, stable revenue streams from
relatively recession-resistant markets, long-standing
relationships with key customers, and improving operating
performance.

the investment manager will be Permira Debt Managers Group

FONCAIXA FTGENCAT 5: Moody's Junks EUR26.5 Mln Series D Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned provisional ratings to five
series of Bonos de Titulizacion de Activos issued by Foncaixa
FTGENCAT 5 Fondo de Titulizacion de Activos, a Spanish asset
securitization fund that has been created by Gesticaixa,
S.G.F.T, S.A.  Moody's has assigned these ratings:

   -- (P)Aaa to the EUR513.1 million Series A(S) notes;
   -- (P)Aaa to the EUR449.4 million Series A(G) notes;
   -- (P)Aa3 to the EUR21.0 million Series B notes;
   -- (P)Baa3 to the EUR16.5 million Series C notes;
   -- (P)C to the EUR26.5 million Series D notes.

Foncaixa FTGENCAT 5, FTA is a securitization fund created with
the aim of purchasing a pool of loans granted by La Caixa to
Catalan small and medium-sized enterprises, in compliance with
the conditions required by the FTGENCAT programme in order to
qualify for the guarantee provided by the regional government
Generalitat of Catalonia.

The ratings of the notes are based upon the analysis of the
characteristics of the SME pool backing the notes, the
protection the notes receive from credit enhancement against
defaults and arrears in the SME pool, the legal and structural
integrity of the issue and the credit quality of the parties
involved in the transaction.

The provisional ratings address the expected loss posed to
investors by the legal final maturity (April 1, 2053).  In
Moody's opinion, the structure allows for timely payment of
interest and ultimate payment of principal at par on or before
the rated final legal maturity date on Series A/B/C, and for
ultimate payment of interest and principal at par on or before
the rated final legal maturity date on Series D.  The ratings do
not address full redemption of the notes on the expected
maturity date.  Moody's ratings address only the credit risks
associated with the transaction.  Other non-credit risks have
not been addressed, but may have a significant effect on yield
to investors.

As of October 2007, the initial provisional portfolio comprised
27,757 loans and 23,945 debtors.  The loans have been originated
by La Caixa in its normal course of business.  The loans have
been originated between 1989 and 2007, with a weighted average
seasoning of 1.77 years and a weighted average remaining term of
15.45 years.  The longest loan matures in April 2047.  Around
70.69% of the pool is secured by a mortgage guarantee over
different types of properties.  The remaining 29.31% is secured
by a personal guarantee.  Geographically the pool is
concentrated in Catalonia (100%).  Around 22% of the portfolio
is concentrated in the "buildings and real estate" sector
according to Moody's industry classification.

Strong features within this deal include among others:

   (1) a strong swap agreement guaranteeing an excess spread of
       0.50%;

   (2) a 2.65% reserve fund to cover potential shortfalls in
       interest or principal;

   (3) a 12-month artificial write-off mechanism;

   (4) the guarantee of the Generalitat of Catalonia (Aa2) as
       concerns the Series A(G) notes; and

   (5) the fact that 70.69% of the pool is backed by first-lien
       mortgage guarantees.

Weaker features include:

   (1) the 2.5-year revolving period, which is mitigated by
       strict eligibility criteria that any additional loan must
       comply with, and early amortization triggers;

   (2) the pro-rata amortization of the notes subject to certain
       triggers;

   (3) the 100% geographical concentration in the region of
       Catalonia; and

   (4) the negative impact of the interest deferral trigger on
       the subordinated series. These increased risks were
       reflected in the credit enhancement calculation.

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

QUEBECOR WORLD: Inks US$341 Million Sell/Merge Deal with RSDB NV
----------------------------------------------------------------
Quebecor World Inc. and RSDB NV have signed a definitive Share
Purchase Agreement and Implementation Agreement to sell/merge
Quebecor World's European operations to RSDB Group.  Under the
terms of the Share Purchase Agreement and Implementation
Agreement, RSDB will deliver to Quebecor World, at closing,
cash, a note and shares valued in the aggregate at approximately
240 million Euros or US$341 million, subject to certain post-
closing adjustments.

The aggregate consideration payable by RSDB to Quebecor World
will be paid in cash, shares and through the assumption of
indebtedness by RSDB.

RSDB will buy Quebecor World's European operations and Quebecor
World will retain a 29.9% interest in the merged entity that
will be named "Roto Smeets Quebecor" and will be listed on
Euronext Amsterdam.

Specifically, the consideration payable to Quebecor World will
be comprised of:

   -- approximately EUR150 million or US$213 million in cash;

   -- a EUR35 million or US$50 million note 8-year note
      repayable from 2011 to 2015;

   -- 1.4 million shares in RSQ representing approximately
      29.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the
      combined business post-closing; and

   -- assumption of QWE's pension, legal, and other
      liabilities.

Completion of the merger is conditional, on the approval of the
shareholders of RSDB and receipt of clearances from the European
Commission.  Closing is expected to take place by the end of
2007.

"This transaction is a key element of our 5-Point Transformation
Plan and is expected to deliver several significant benefits to
our shareholders," Wes Lucas, president and CEO Quebecor World,
stated.  "The sale/merger will improve our balance sheet, and
will provide additional financial flexibility and strategic
options to create further shareholder value.  We believe that it
will also enable us to strategically reposition our company to
focus on growing earnings within our core business in the
Americas, where we are a leader."

"We are pleased that retaining an investment in RSQ may present
an upside opportunity, as Quebecor World will help facilitate
the consolidation of the European print industry and the
creation of the leading printer in Europe, which will benefit
our customers and employees going forward," Mr. Lucas added.
Quebecor World and RSQ will also work together in the future to
serve global customers."

"The combination of Quebecor World's European printing business
with RSDB will enable RSDB, through its increased scale and
broader footprint throughout Europe, to play an important role
in the consolidation of the graphic industry in Europe," John
Caris, chief executive officer of RSDB stated.  "We see a great
opportunity to pool the best practices and extensive industry
experience available in the two businesses and to benefit from
an attractive range of potential synergies".

In the event that the transaction is not completed as a result
of a default of one party, the defaulting party is obliged to
pay the other party a break-up fee of 15 million Euros or
US$21 million.

The supervisory board of RSQ will be comprised of five
directors.  Two of the five members of the supervisory board
will be nominated by QWI.  Resolutions of the supervisory board
are, in general, adopted by an absolute majority.

However upon completion of the sale/merger, Quebecor World and
RSDB have agreed that certain predefined corporate decisions
relating to important strategic matters, such as decisions
relating to mergers and acquisitions, the issuance of new shares
and the change of the dividend policy, will require a four out
of five majority vote.

RSDB's current CEO, John Caris, will lead RSQ.  QWE's
experienced senior management team will continue to run the
operations in each European country from which it currently
operates.  The key members of QWE's existing senior management
team have indicated their support for the transaction and their
continued involvement with the combined business.  Their local
expertise will be a valuable asset of the combination of the
companies.

HABAS SINAI: Conservative Financial Policy Cues Fitch's B+ IDR
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Habas Sinai ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal
Endustrisi A.S.'s Long-term Issuer Default Rating at 'B+', its
Local Currency Long-term IDR at 'B+' and its National Long-term
Rating at 'A+(tur)'.  The Outlooks for the Long-term IDR and
National Long-term Rating are Stable.

"The ratings reflect Habas's conservative financial policy,
robust revenue growth, relatively low leverage and good coverage
ratios," says Angelina Valavina, Director in Fitch's Industrials
team.

Fitch notes the company's conservative financial policy so far,
as reflected in its credit profile.  Habas favorably compares
with its steel peers due to its low leverage.  The company also
has good coverage ratios relative to its international peers.

Furthermore, the group benefits from its favorable geographical
location close to the fast-growing markets of the Middle East,
which drives its export-oriented steel sales.  At the same time
the company's industrial gases sales are underpinned by its
dominance on the domestic market, which enables it to leverage
the growth of this market.

However, in contrast to some international steel producers,
Habas is fully exposed to international spot scrap markets to
satisfy its scrap needs - the main raw material used in steel
production.  Nevertheless, it should be noted that Habas
exercises a procurement strategy that foresees the parallel
execution of scrap and steel sales contracts, allowing prices
set for steel sales to reflect scrap price movements.  The
company also became fully self-sufficient in energy when its 240
MW power plant started operations in April 2005.

With its relatively low fiscal year 2006 EBITDAR margin
reflecting its lack of self-sufficiency in scrap and the
relatively high energy prices in Turkey, Habas is unfavorably
positioned compared with its international steel peers.  In
Fitch's view, this could limit the company's financial
flexibility in case of a steel industry downturn.

The Stable Outlook reflects Fitch's expectations that Habas will
be able to maintain its satisfactory financial profile despite
its dependence on scrap supplies from third parties and exposure
to the cyclical steel industry.


T.C. ZIRAAT BANKASI: Fitch Affirms BB- IDR with Stable Outlook
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the ratings of T.C. Ziraat Bankasi
as:

   -- Local Currency Long-term Issuer Default Rating at 'BB-';
   -- Short-term Local Currency IDR at 'B';
   -- Foreign Currency Long-term IDR at 'BB-';
   -- Short-term Foreign Currency IDR at 'B';
   -- Long-term National Rating at 'AA(tur)';
   -- Individual Rating at 'C/D'; and
   -- Support Rating at '3'.

The Outlook for the Long-term IDRs is Stable, and the Support
Rating Floor is 'BB-'.

Ziraat, fully-owned by the Turkish state, is a leading retail
bank, controlling a sizeable 19.4% deposit market share.
Ziraat's IDRs are equalized with those of the Turkish sovereign,
reflecting a balance sheet dominated by Turkish government debt
and the strong likelihood of support which the bank could expect
to receive in case of need from its shareholder.

The bank's Individual Rating considers its well established
franchise, good asset quality and efforts being made to
transform its balance sheet and develop a more broadly based
banking business.  The rating also reflects a heavy dependence
on securities revenue and a decline in capital adequacy ratios
which, nevertheless, remain above average compared to other
Turkish banks.

"Growing lending is a priority but loans represent only 25% of
total assets," notes Janine Dow, Senior Director at Fitch
Ratings' financial institutions department.

Impaired loan ratios are good (1.8% at first half of 2007) and
asset quality in the agricultural book is sound.  Some 60% of
assets comprise government securities but efforts are being made
to grow lending.  By end-2010, some TRY15.4 billion of held to
maturity government securities will have matured, freeing up
considerable liquidity for additional lending.

"Ziraat's retail savings deposits represent the backbone of the
bank's funding structure and these have proved to be stable in
times of crisis," adds Dow.  Capital ratios declined in first
half of 2007 due to the operational risk charge, dividend
payments and growth in risk weighted assets.

Ziraat's performance ratios compare favorably with those
achieved by competitors and the improving trend is continuing
into 2007.  This reflects wide margins given that low-cost
retail deposits fund profitable consumer loans and the floating
rate securities portfolio benefits from rising interest rates.
Cost to income ratios (28% in first half of 2007) are impressive
considering a widespread branch network.


TURKIYE HALK BANKASI: Fitch Affirms BB- IDR on State Support
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the ratings of Turkiye Halk Bankasi
as:

   -- Local Currency Long-term Issuer Default Rating at 'BB-;
   -- Short-term Local Currency IDR at 'B';
   -- Foreign Currency Long-term IDR at 'BB-';
   -- Short-term Foreign Currency IDR at 'B';
   -- Long-term National Rating at 'AA(tur)';
   -- Individual Rating at 'C/D'; and
   -- Support Rating at '3'.

The Outlook for the Long-term IDRs is Stable, and the Support
Rating Floor is 'BB-'.

Halkbank's traditional focus is SMEs, although the merger with
Pamukbank in 2004 brought retail banking expertise.  A 25% stake
was floated on the Istanbul Stock Exchange in May 2007.
Halkbank's IDRs reflect the strong likelihood of support the
bank could expect to receive, if needed, from its 75%
shareholder, the Turkish state.

"The Individual Rating reflects its good franchise, with 10.6%
deposit market share, expertise in the SME sector and efforts
made to expand lending.  The rating also reflects the need to
build up revenues earned from lending, which is being achieved,
and weakening, although still well above sector average, capital
ratios," says Janine Dow, Senior Director in Fitch's Banking
group.

Halkbank's profitability ratios compare favorably with those of
the leading private sector banks.  Margins, supported by
increased yields on a large portfolio of floating-rate
securities, and a loan book dominated by profitable SME (60%)
and retail loans (21%), are high. Costs are well contained
(cost/income ratio 35.3% at first half of 2007) and recoveries
of fully reserved impaired loans have for several years exceeded
new impairment charges, boosting profits.

Loans make up a relatively low proportion (40% at end-June 2007)
of assets.  Directed lending has in the past resulted in poor
asset quality, but impaired loans (6.8% of loans at H107) are
fully reserved.  Lending (up 25% in first half of 2007) is
outpacing the sector average (12%) and the quality of new loans
is sound (impaired ratios about 1%).  Given the rapid growth, it
may be that the book is not fully seasoned and impaired loan
ratios may increase over time.

The bank's SME expertise is well established and scoring systems
appear sound.  Government securities represented 48.5% of assets
at end-June 2007 where about a half of the government securities
portfolio comprised of unquoted bonds (final maturity 2014).  As
these mature, proceeds will be applied to growing the loan book.
A shift away from public to private sector assets is changing
the bank's risk profile, but management and systems have been
strengthened in line with the privatization process, and the
outlook is good.

It is not certain how the bank's full privatization will
proceed; the acquisition of a controlling stake by a highly
rated international bank would positively affect its IDRs.  As
the asset mix diversifies and profitable growth continues, the
Individual Rating should improve.

BRITISH AIRWAYS: Baggage Delivery Among Worst, Report Says
----------------------------------------------------------
British Airways plc is among the worst performers for
punctuality and baggage delivery, the Association of European
Airlines' Consumer Report for July to September 2007 reveals.

Among the the 28 AEA member airlines which have provided
punctuality data, BA ranked 26th with only 58.8% of its
short/medium haul flights arrived on time, while only 55% for
long haul.  Only 60.7% of the short/medium haul flights departed
on time, while only 58.7% for long haul.

Among the 25 AEA member airlines which have contributed baggage
figures, BA ranked 24th with 30 bags delayed for every 1,000
passengers it transported.

However, a spokesman for BA told the Daily Telegraph "these
statistics have to be put into context.  We operate out of one
of the most congested airports in the world and the U.K. is the
only country in Europe with restrictive hand baggage rules which
put more pressure on hold baggage carried."

According to the company spokesman, the closure of T4 airside
and landside due to a security alert, followed by extreme
weather (floods and thunderstorms) in July, hit the airline's
performance, although figures are expected to improve when
Heathrow Terminal 5 opens next March.

"We are working hard to improve our performance and September's
figures were a lot better than July and August," the spokesman
was quoted by the Daily Telegraph as saying.

CHROME FUNDING: Moody's May Cut Ba2 Rating After Review
-------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investor Service placed US$7.34 billion of European CDOs
on review for possible downgrade and downgraded US$254.13
million.

The rating actions are a response to credit deterioration of the
underlying portfolios, which include significant exposure to
CDOs of US ABS and to downgraded US subprime RMBS securities of
the 2006 vintage.  They also incorporate Moody's view on the
impact of exposure to other US RMBS and ABS CDO vintages,
particularly 2005 and 2007.

Moody's placed on review for possible downgrade seven classes of
notes issued by Chrome Funding Limited (Greenbay):

   -- The Series 23 Class I US$33,000,000 Floating Rate Variable
      Spread Credit Linked Notes due October 2046, currently
      rated Aaa;

   -- The Series 24 Class II US$28,500,000 Floating Rate
      Variable Spread Credit Linked Notes due October 2046,
      currently rated Aaa;

   -- The Series 25 Class III US$28,000,000 Floating Rate
      Variable Spread Credit Linked Notes due October 2046,
      currently rated Aa2;

   -- The Series 26 Class IV US$21,000,000 Floating Rate
      Variable Spread Credit Linked Notes due October 2046,
      currently rated A2;

   -- The Series 27 Class V-A US$13,000,000 Floating Rate
      Variable Spread Credit Linked Notes due October 2046,
      currently rated Baa2;

   -- The Series 28 Class V-B US$9,500,000 Floating Rate
      Variable Spread Credit Linked Notes due October 2046,
      currently rated Baa3;

   -- The Series 29 Class VI US$7,000,000 Floating Rate Variable
      Spread Credit Linked Notes due October 2046, currently
      rated Ba2.

A total of 129 tranches from 36 CDOs are affected, with the
proportion of downgraded subprime assets present in individual
portfolios ranging from 6.00% to 83.35%.  The average exposure
of affected CDOs to downgraded 2006 US RMBS securities is
12.98%, whilst the average exposures to 2005 and 2007 US RMBS
securities are 13.31% and 2.20% respectively.  For 2006 and 2007
ABS CDOs, average exposures amount to 9.68% and 2.16%
respectively.

The most negatively impacted are those containing US ABS CDOs
and 2006 US subprime RMBS assets that were originally rated Baa
or below, due to the greater severity of downgrades already
experienced by these securities.  Moody's will continue to
monitor all deals with exposure to US subprime RMBS and will
take further actions in respect of all CDOs placed under review
for downgrade once the extent of actual downgrades to 2005 and
2007 US RMBS and ABS CDO vintages becomes known.


COOPER TIRE: Earns US$30 Mln in Third Quarter Ended Sept. 30
------------------------------------------------------------
Cooper Tire & Rubber Company reported a  net income of
US$30 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2007, compared
with a net loss of US$25 million in the same period last year.
Income from continuing operations increased US$41 million from a
loss of US$24 million for the same period last year.  Income
from discontinued operations also contributed US$12 million for
the quarter.  Sales rose to US$768 million for the quarter, an
11% percent increase over sales of US$690 million in the same
period last year.

Improved pricing in North America, and increased tire unit sales
for the International segment, contributed to the improved
results.  The improvement was also supported by the ongoing cost
and profit improvement initiative implemented throughout the
year. As a result, operating profit improved to US$33 million in
the third quarter of 2007, compared with an operating loss of
US$5 million in the third quarter of 2006.

For the nine month period ended Sept. 30, 2007, the company's
net income improved to US$69 million on US$2.2 billion of sales.
This  compares to a net loss of US$51 million on US$1.9 billion
of sales over the same period a year ago.

The company's North American tire operations reported sales of
US$576 million in the quarter, up 10% percent compared with
US$526 million in the third quarter of 2006.  This increase was
driven by improved pricing, as well as increased unit volumes in
sport utility vehicle and broadline tires.

The company's International Tire Operations reported sales of
US$236 million in the quarter, an increase of 22% compared with
the third quarter of 2006.

Commenting on the results, Cooper president and chief executive
officer Roy Armes said, "During the third quarter we continued
to deliver improved results to the top and bottom lines.  People
throughout the organization have been focused on executing the
strategies that we previously identified and are excited about
what the future holds for the company.  We aren't satisfied with
where we are, but we are pleased with what we've accomplished
over the last year.  North America had another quarter of
dramatically improved operating profit, and our international
segment has continued its impressive growth.  This global growth
has been accompanied by an improved balance sheet as our margins
improve and we continue to focus on inventory management.  As we
launch into the fourth quarter, we expect to continue with our
improvements, I have confidence that the employees at Cooper
will execute to our expectations.

"The story at Cooper during the first nine months of 2007 has
been continued improvement and positive momentum," Armes
continued. "There are always concerns or risks regarding raw
material costs, which are at high levels and trending upward, as
well as economic and industry effects.  We believe that we will
be able to continue operational improvements in the fourth
quarter and inventory levels will remain at low levels
throughout the rest of the year.

"Overall, we expect to build on the momentum we have established
during 2007.  We are pleased with our results thus far, but are
determined to continue reviewing and improving on all aspects of
our company so that we can provide the greatest returns possible
for all of our stakeholders," Armes concluded.

At Sept. 30, 2007, the company's consolidated balance sheet
showed US$2.38 billion in total assets, US$1.54 billion in total
liabilities, US$83.2 million in noncontrolling shareholders'
interest, and US$752.3 million in shareholders' equity.

G-SQUARE FINANCE: Moody's Cuts Ratings on Two Note Classes
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investor Service placed US$7.34 billion of European CDOs
on review for possible downgrade and downgraded US$254.13
million.

The rating actions are a response to credit deterioration of the
underlying portfolios, which include significant exposure to
CDOs of US ABS and to downgraded US subprime RMBS securities of
the 2006 vintage.  They also incorporate Moody's view on the
impact of exposure to other US RMBS and ABS CDO vintages,

Moody's downgraded and places on review for further possible
downgrade two classes of notes issued by G-Square Finance 2006-2
Limited:

   -- The US$12,000,000 Class D Senior Secured Deferrable
      Floating Rate Notes due 2046, to B3 from Baa2;

   -- The US$2,000,000 Class E Senior Secured Deferrable
      Floating Rate Notes due 2046, to Caa3 from Ba1.

A total of 129 tranches from 36 CDOs are affected, with the
proportion of downgraded subprime assets present in individual
portfolios ranging from 6.00% to 83.35%.  The average exposure
of affected CDOs to downgraded 2006 US RMBS securities is
12.98%, whilst the average exposures to 2005 and 2007 US RMBS
securities are 13.31% and 2.20% respectively.  For 2006 and 2007
ABS CDOs, average exposures amount to 9.68% and 2.16%
respectively.

The most negatively impacted are those containing US ABS CDOs
and 2006 US subprime RMBS assets that were originally rated Baa

GENERAL MOTORS: Posts US$39 Billion Net Loss in Third Quarter
-------------------------------------------------------------
General Motors Corp. disclosed Wednesday its financial results
for the third quarter of 2007.

GM reported a net loss of US$39 billion, including Allison
Transmission, which is classified as a discontinued operation,
for the third quarter of 2007, compared with a reported net loss
of US$147 million in the year-ago quarter.

Special items included a net non-cash charge of US$38.6 billion
due to a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets related
to operations in the U.S., Canada and Germany as required under
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  Also included was a
favorable US$3.5 billion after-tax gain on the sale of the
Allison Transmission business in August 2007, for which GM
received US$5.4 billion in proceeds.  GM also had special
charges of US$1.6 billion in pension service costs related to
prior labor agreements, US$400 million associated with
restructuring actions and US$400 million related to an
adjustment to the Delphi reserve.

Excluding special items, GM had a 2007 third-quarter adjusted
net loss of US$1.6 billion, compared to net income of US$497
million in the year-ago quarter.  The variance was driven
primarily by a significant decline in net income at GMAC, as
well as increased corporate expense related to legacy cost,
foreign exchange and various 2006 tax benefits, partially offset
by improved performance in automotive operations.

"We continue to implement the key elements of our North America
turnaround strategy, and these initiatives are driving steady
improvement in our financial results, despite challenging North
America market conditions.  In addition, we are very encouraged
by our performance in emerging markets.  Our record third
quarter global sales are strong evidence that our commitment to
great cars and trucks is being embraced by consumers around the
globe." said Rick Wagoner, GM chairman and chief executive
officer.

The company's improved performance in its automotive operations
was more than offset by special charges of US$37.4 billion
related largely to a previously announced valuation allowance
against its deferred tax assets, as well as lower reported GMAC
Financial Services income, down US$630 million versus the year-
ago quarter as a result of continued pressures in the mortgage
industry.

                    GM Automotive Operations

GM's global automotive operations posted net income of
US$122 million from continuing operations on an adjusted basis
in the third quarter of 2007 (reported net loss of US$40.6
billion), an improvement of US$577 million compared to an
adjusted net loss from continuing operations of US$455 million
(reported net loss of US$401 million) in the same quarter 2006.
Results for GM's automotive operations, specifically GMNA,
exclude Allison Transmission, which was classified as a
discontinued operation as a result of the sale of that business
which was concluded in August 2007.

GM generated record third quarter automotive revenue of
US$43.1 billion.  The company also achieved record global third
quarter sales of 2.39 million cars and trucks, up 4% compared to
the third quarter 2006, driven by exceptionally strong demand in
emerging markets and improved performance in developed markets.
GM also set a number of third quarter sales records around the
globe, including a 22% increase in GMLAAM, 16% increase in the
GMAP region, and 15% gain in GME.

"We continue to see solid progress in the fundamentals of our
automotive business.  We're very pleased with our strong sales
performance in key markets outside of North America, and growing
retail momentum in the U.S. driven by products like the all-new
Cadillac CTS.  We're also very encouraged by the early reactions
to our all-new Chevrolet Malibu and 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC
Yukon two-mode hybrids - the world's only full-size hybrid
SUVs," said Wagoner.

GMNA had an adjusted net loss from continuing operations of
US$247 million in the third quarter 2007 (reported net loss from
continuing operations of US$38.2 billion, which includes charges
of approximately US$36.5 billion for a valuation allowance
against its deferred tax assets and US$1.3 billion for pension
service costs related to prior labor agreements), compared to an
adjusted net loss of US$660 million from continuing operations
in the third quarter 2006 (reported net loss from continuing
operations of US$667 million).  GMNA's improved adjusted
earnings reflect favorable mix, pricing and better warranty
performance, which were partially offset by lower volume and
increased material cost.

GME posted an adjusted net loss of US$90 million in the third
quarter (reported net loss of US$2.9 billion, which includes
charges of US$2.5 billion for a valuation allowance against
deferred tax assets in Germany and restructuring charges of
US$262 million), compared to US$39 million loss in the third
quarter of 2006 (reported net loss of US$126 million).  The
variance in adjusted net income reflects the softness of the
German market and unfavorable currency exchange, which was
partially offset by improved pricing and higher volume.

GME achieved record third quarter sales of about 524,000 units,
aided by continued momentum of GME's multi-brand strategy during
the period.  Chevrolet is amongst the fastest growing global
vehicle brands in Europe, posting record third quarter sales of
113,000 vehicles.  GM gained further ground in the growing
Russian market, with sales up by 75% over the same quarter 2006,
to a record 65,700 vehicles.

GMAP recorded adjusted net income of US$138 million in the third
quarter (reported net income also US$138 million), compared with
US$57 million in the year ago period (reported net income of
US$205 million, which included US$148 million in favorable tax-
related items).  This favorable earnings performance was driven
largely by strong export growth from GM Daewoo, continued strong
sales and profitability in China, and improved earnings in India
and Australia.

GM achieved 16% sales growth in the Asia Pacific region,
resulting in record third quarter sales of 327,500 units.  GM
China sold 230,000 vehicles, a 21% increase compared with the
year ago period.  GM sales in the region were also aided by the
strong performance of GM Daewoo products, including the
Chevrolet Captiva.

GMLAAM achieved all-time record earnings and quarterly sales in
the third quarter, posting adjusted earnings of US$340 million
(reported net income also US$340 million), up 86% compared with
strong earnings in the year ago period of US$183 million
(reported net income also US$183 million).  The earnings
improvement was driven primarily by volume growth, favorable
pricing and vehicle mix.

GMLAAM set a third quarter sales record of over 329,000
vehicles, up almost 22% year-over-year.  All-time sales records
were achieved in Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina and
Egypt.  The successful launch of the Chevrolet Captiva in South
Africa, Venezuela, Colombia and the Middle East helped drive
strong sales in the region.

                              GMAC

As a standalone company, GMAC Financial Services reported a net
loss of US$1.6 billion for the third quarter 2007, compared to a
net loss of US$173 million in the third quarter 2006.  The
reported results for the third quarter of 2007 included a US$455
million goodwill impairment charge at Residential Capital LLC,
while a goodwill impairment charge of US$695 million related to
GMAC Commercial Finance was reflected in results for the third
quarter of 2006.

Results were dominated by the effects of the dislocation in the
mortgage and credit markets on the real estate finance business,
which more than offset the continued strong performance at
GMAC's automotive finance, insurance and other operations.

GM recognized US$757 million of the net loss attributable to
GMAC as a result of its 49% equity interest and accrued
preferred dividends (reported net loss of US$803 million).

                       Cash and Liquidity

GM continues to have a strong liquidity position.  Cash,
marketable securities, and readily-available assets of the
Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association trust grew to
US$30 billion as of Sept. 30, 2007, up from US$27.2 billion on
June 30, 2007.  The balance includes US$5.4 billion of net cash
proceeds from the completion of the Allison Transmission
transaction in August 2007.

GM had negative adjusted automotive operating cash flow of
US$2.5 billion in the third quarter of 2007, improved from a
negative US$3.9 billion in the third quarter 2006.

GENERAL MOTORS: Moody's Holds Ratings; Changes Outlook to Stable
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed its rating for General Motors
Corporation (B3 Corporate Family Rating, Ba3 senior secured,
Caa1 senior unsecured and SGL-1 Speculative Grade Liquidity
rating) but changed the outlook to Stable from Positive.  In an
environment of weakening prospects for US auto sales GM has
announced that it will take a non-cash charge of US$39 billion
for the third quarter of 2007 related to establishing a
valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets (DTAs) in
the US, Canada and Germany.  Moody's ratings of GMAC LLC (Ba2
senior unsecured/Negative outlook) and of Residential Capital
LLC (Ba3 senior unsecured/Negative outlook) are unaffected by
this action.

GM's valuation allowance was established in accordance with
guidelines under the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, and
reflects three recent negative developments that were cited by
the company.  These include GM's substantial cumulative losses
in the US, Canada and Germany for the three-year period through
the third quarter of 2007, the ongoing weakness at GMAC
Financial Services related to its Residential Capital, LLC
mortgage business, and the more challenging near-term automotive
market conditions in the US and Germany.

The establishment of the allowance is a non-cash event that does
not affect GM's US$27 billion cash liquidity position, its
ability to access over US$5 billion in long-term committed
credit facilities, or its new product and operating plans.  In
addition, GM's longer term operating efficiencies, cost
structure and cash generation will improve significantly by 2010
as a result of the new UAW labor agreement; annual cash savings
could exceed US$4 billion.  However, the recent and continuing
erosion in US market conditions will likely result in GM's
performance during 2008, and possibly into 2009, being weaker
than originally anticipated. These more challenging market
conditions include: the continued erosion in US consumer
confidence, the significant tightening of credit markets,
weakness in the US housing market, and the growing possibility
that US automotive shipments will be below 16 million units
during 2008.

This significant weakening in market conditions and the
increasingly negative impact they will have on GM's performance
into 2009 are key factors in Moody's decision to stabilize GM's
rating outlook.

In addition, GM has faced a number of challenges with respect to
accounting and financial reporting matters.  These accounting
challenges include: the need for restatements of past
financials, delayed filings of financial reports, ongoing
investigations and inquiries by the SEC and other governmental
agencies, and the determination by its auditors that as of
12/31/06 certain material weaknesses existed in various internal
control and reporting practices.  The change in the outlook to
stable also considers the elements of variability in GM's
financial statements, including the US$39 billion allowance.

During the coming year Moody's will continue to assess the
degree to which GM can successfully implement its new product
strategy and take full advantage of the cost savings available
under the new UAW agreement.  Success in these areas will be
necessary in order to contend with challenges that include: US
automotive shipments that could be below 16 million units during
2008, continued high fuel prices, the need to generate stronger
returns in its car franchise, and rising competition in the
truck and SUV segments.  Should evidence suggest that GM is on
track to generate positive free cash flow, sustain interest
coverage exceeding 1x, and achieve EBITA margins approximating
2.5% during the 2009 time frame, the rating outlook could be
revisited.

world's largest automaker, based on 2006 sales.

KESTREL FUNDING: S&P Cuts Income Notes' Ratings to BB-
------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating on the
income notes issued by Kestrel Funding PLC and Kestrel Funding
US LLC , two co-issuers of a structured investment vehicle.

The rating on the income notes remains on CreditWatch with
negative implications, where it was placed Sept. 10, 2007.  The
ratings on the commercial paper and medium-term notes are
unaffected by the income note downgrade and remain on
CreditWatch with negative implications.

These rating actions reflects S&P's analysis of the portfolio's
net asset value and realized losses, and the capital model
output that Kestrel Funding reported to S&P in an Oct. 12, 2007,
report.  According to the report, Kestrel Funding's NAV is
50.88%, the outstanding amount of its capital notes is
US$315.0 million, and the outstanding amount of its senior debt
is US$2.9 billion.

Kestrel Funding is a SIV structure managed by Brightwater
Capital Management, which purchases assets, manages the
portfolio, and oversees the issuance of CP and MTNs.  The
portfolio is predominantly invested in structured finance
assets, with a focus on U.S. RMBS, non-U.S. RMBS, CDOs of CMBS,
and CDOs of trust preferred securities.

LOGAN CDO II: Moody's May Cut Ba2 Rating After Review
-----------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed US$7.34 billion of European
CDOs on review for possible downgrade and downgraded US$254.13
million.

The rating actions are a response to credit deterioration of the
underlying portfolios, which include significant exposure to
CDOs of US ABS and to downgraded US subprime RMBS securities of
the 2006 vintage.  They also incorporate Moody's view on the
impact of exposure to other US RMBS and ABS CDO vintages,
particularly 2005 and 2007.

Moody's placed on review for possible downgrade six classes of
notes issued by Logan CDO II Limited:

   -- The US$40,000,000 Class A-1 Floating Rate Credit Linked
      Secured Notes due 2051, currently rated Aaa;

   -- The US$49,000,000 Class A-2 Floating Rate Credit Linked
      Secured Notes due 2051, currently rated Aaa;

   -- The US$22,000,000 Class B Floating Rate Credit Linked
      Secured Notes due 2051, currently rated Aaa;

   -- The US$18,500,000 Class C Floating Rate Credit Linked
      Secured Notes due 2051, currently rated Aa3;

   -- The US$12,000,000 Class D Floating Rate Credit Linked
      Secured Notes due 2051, currently rated Baa2;

   -- The US$5,000,000 Class E Floating Rate Credit Linked
      Secured Notes due 2051, currently rated Ba2.

A total of 129 tranches from 36 CDOs are affected, with the
proportion of downgraded subprime assets present in individual
portfolios ranging from 6.00% to 83.35%.  The average exposure
of affected CDOs to downgraded 2006 US RMBS securities is
12.98%, whilst the average exposures to 2005 and 2007 US RMBS
securities are 13.31% and 2.20% respectively.  For 2006 and 2007
ABS CDOs, average exposures amount to 9.68% and 2.16%
respectively.

The most negatively impacted are those containing US ABS CDOs
and 2006 US subprime RMBS assets that were originally rated Baa
or below, due to the greater severity of downgrades already
experienced by these securities.  Moody's will continue to
monitor all deals with exposure to US subprime RMBS and will
take further actions in respect of all CDOs placed under review
for downgrade once the extent of actual downgrades to 2005 and
2007 US RMBS and ABS CDO vintages becomes known.

POPE & TALBOT: CCAA Stay Order Amended to Allow US Bankr. Filing
----------------------------------------------------------------
At the behest of Pope & Talbot Inc. and its debtor-affiliates,
the Honorable Justice Geoffrey B. Morawetz of the Superior Court
of Justice of Ontario, amended the Companies' Creditors
Arrangement Act of Canada Initial Stay Order to clarify that
nothing in the Stay Order will prohibit the Applicants, or any
one of them, from making an application for relief pursuant to
the United States Bankruptcy Code as they deem necessary.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Nov. 5, 2007,
the Hon. Justice Geoffrey B. Morawetz held that no proceeding or
enforcement process in any court or tribunal will be commenced
or continued until and including Nov. 23, 2007, against or in
respect of the Applicants, the Partnerships or
PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., except with the written consent of
the Applicants, the Partnerships and PwC, or with leave of the
CCAA Court.

R. Neil Stuart, vice president, chief financial officer and
secretary of Pope & Talbot Inc., explained that at the time of
the initial application, no proceedings were undertaken in the
United States under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

Mr. Stuart said in order to secure DIP financing and otherwise
ensure that the Applicants benefit from the stay of proceedings
provided by the CCAA Court and the terms of Mr. Justice
Morawetz's Initial Order, the Applicants may need to seek
protection in the United States.

Hence, an amendment to the Initial Order is necessary to
clarify that the Applicants have the authority to seek any
protection in the United States should the circumstances require
it, Mr. Stuart said.

The Applicants have employees, assets and creditors in the
United States.

Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, Pope & Talbot Inc. (Other
OTC: PTBT.PK) -- http://www.poptal.com/-- is a pulp and wood
products business.  Pope & Talbot was founded in 1849 and
produces market pulp and softwood lumber at mills in the US and

The company and its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries applied for
protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act of
Canada on Oct. 28, 2007. (Pope & Talbot Bankruptcy News, Issue

REMY WORLDWIDE: Gets US$225 Mln Secured DIP Loan From Barclays
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Kevin J. Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware granted Remy Worldwide Holdings, Inc., and
its debtor affiliates final approval to obtain up to
US$225,000,000 of secured postpetition financing from a
syndicate of lenders led by Barclays Capital, the investment
division of Barclays Bank PLC.  The approved DIP Financing
consists of a US$120,000,000 Revolver Credit Agreement and a
US$105,000,000 First Lien Credit Agreement.

Among the DIP Lenders are Barclays Bank PLC, Wachovia Capital
Finance Corporation, General Electric Capital Corporation and
Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC.

All objections not otherwise resolved or withdrawn are
overruled.

"The approval of the final DIP facility is right in line with
our game plan, and keeps us on track to complete our consensual
restructuring and emerge from Chapter 11 in early December as
planned," Remy Chief Executive Officer John Weber said in a
press release.  "The DIP facility provides more than adequate
resources to fund our postpetition obligations to suppliers and
employees and our other operating requirements during the plan
confirmation process."

Available financing and advances under the DIP Facility
Agreement will be made only (i) to repay Remy's prepetition
indebtedness aggregating US$158,000,000; (ii) to fund Remy's
ordinary working capital and general corporate needs; and (iii)
to pay other amounts required or allowed to be paid under the
DIP Facility Agreement, the Court ruled.

As consideration for Remy's DIP obligations, the DIP Lenders are
granted superpriority claims, which will be payable from and
have recourse to any of Remy's unencumbered property.

As security for Remy's postpetition indebtedness, Barclays Bank,
as DIP Collateral Agent, is granted DIP Liens.

In the occurrence of an event of default under the DIP Facility,
the DIP Superpriority Claims and DIP Liens will be subject to a
Carve-Out.  The Carve-Out refers to the payment of unpaid fees
and disbursements of the professionals of Remy and any official
unsecured creditors committee appointed in Remy's Chapter 11
cases in an aggregate amount not to exceed US$2,500,000, plus
fees payable to the U.S. Trustee pursuant to Section 1930 of the
Judicial Procedures Code.

The Administrative Claim for Remy's Prepetition Lenders is
deemed subordinate to the DIP Superpriority Claim and the Carve-
Out, and will be senior to the Replacement Liens afforded to the
noteholders of the senior floating rate notes due 2009 issued by
Remy.

The DIP Facility will terminate on the earliest of:

   (i) six months after the date of the Closing Date,

  (ii) the effective date of Remy's plan of reorganization,
       or

(iii) the date of termination of the commitments or
       acceleration of any outstanding extensions of credit.

Remy is directed, after receipt of a written summary invoice,
reimburse the DIP Lenders for their reasonable costs, fees and
expenses incurred in connection with their Chapter 11 cases.

A full text-copy of the 31-page Remy Final DIP Order is
available at http://bankrupt.com/misc/DIPOrder.pdf

The DIP Financing is vital to avoid irreparable harm to Remyu's
business, properties and estates and to allow the orderly
continuation of Remy's businesses, the Court opined.

                 Schedules Filing Deadline Extended

Judge Carey also gave Remy until December 7, 2007, to file its
Schedules of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Financial
Affairs.  The Court's ruling is a 30-day interim extension for
Remy to file the required Schedules and Statements.

Remy originally asked for a 45-day extension of the Schedules
filing deadline, asserting that its cases are complex and its
professionals are busy with other bankruptcy-related matters.

Kelly Beaudin Stapleton, the U.S. Trustee for Region 3, however,
opposed Remy's original request.  The U.S. Trustee emphasized
that the nature and pace of the Debtors' cases require a prompt
deadline for filing Schedules and Statements, and suggested that
it will not object to a 30-day extension.

In light of the fact that Remy has delivered to the Court a
comprehensive Disclosure Statement and complete creditor matrix
on the Petition Date, the U.S. Trustee also contended that the
bulk of the information necessary for Remy to complete its
Schedules and Statements has already been compiled and should be
readily available.

The Court has yet to rule on Remy's request for a permanent
waiver of the obligation to file Schedules in the event that it
confirms its Plan of Reorganization prior to the expiration of
the extended Schedules filing period.

The U.S. Trustee has complained that by seeking a permanent
waiver of the Schedules filing requirement, Remy is seeking to
dispense with its obligation to advise creditors of its position
as to the extent and nature of the creditors' claims which are
being discharged under the Plan.

A hearing to confirm Remy's prepackaged Plan of Reorganization
is scheduled for November 20, 2007.

SCO GROUP: IBM and Novell Balk at Proposed Asset Sale Procedure
---------------------------------------------------------------
International Business Machines Corporation and Novell Inc.,
creditors in The SCO Group Inc. and SCO Operations Inc.'s
chapter 11 cases, oppose the Debtors' proposed sale of certain
assets to JGD Management Corp. dba York Capital Management.

IBM tells the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware
that the Debtors' proposed procedure for the sale is deficient
and that the bidder protections are based on a misleading
characterization of the purchase price.

IBM argues that the sale is improper and itself cannot be
approved because the Debtors propose to sell assets they don't
own.

Additionally, Novell contends that the sale is "ill-advised at
every level."

According to Novell, the Debtors have not "established an
adequate justification for emergency consideration of the
proposed sale on shortened notice, relying instead on
unsubstantiated claims of urgent circumstances allegedly
dictated by" JGD.

                            *********

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.
