CLEAR CHANNEL: Trial Regarding Financing of Merger Set April 8
--------------------------------------------------------------
A full trial on a temporary restraining order issued by a Texas
court to force financiers of the proposed acquisition of Clear
Channel Communications Inc. to honor a financing deal is set
April 8, 2008.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on March 28,
2008, District Court Judge John D. Gabriel of Bexar County,
Texas, on March 26, awarded a Temporary Restraining Order in
favor of Clear Channel.

Judge Gabriel ordered that the banks, among other things, must
not “interfere with or thwart consummation of the Merger
Agreement” by:

     1) refusing to fund the Merger transaction,

     2) insisting on terms that are inconsistent with the
        Commitment Letter, or

     3) refusing to act in good faith in the drafting of
        definitive loan documents.

Clear Channel, jointed by CC Media Holdings, Inc., a unit of
Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. and Bain Capital Partners, LLC,
sued the banks who had committed to financing the debt connected
to their US$26 billion merger for tortious interference on March
26, 2008.

The lawsuit alleges that the banks are "refusing to execute
necessary documents in an overt effort to 'run out the clock'
and cause [their] merger agreement to collapse" and are
"fabricating false reasons to refuse to proceed with the
transaction – all in an effort to deprive Plaintiffs’ of their
vested contractual rights under the Merger Agreement which
Defendants know must close by June 12, 2008."

Adding that the opportunity for CC Media Holdings to acquire
Clear Channel is "uniquely valuable and irreplaceable", the suit
further claims that the banks' recent actions create
"immeasurable damages exceeding the parties' agreement for US$26
billion".

The defendants are Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse,
RBS, Wachovia, and Deutsche Bank.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on March 31,
2008, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said its ratings on
Clear Channel Communications Inc., including the 'B+' corporate
credit rating, remain on CreditWatch with negative implications.
S&P originally placed them on CreditWatch on Oct. 26, 2006,
following the company's announcement that it was exploring
strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value.  The
company's proposed leveraged buyout, led by Thomas H. Lee
Partners L.P. and Bain Capital Partners LLC, received FCC
approval on Jan. 24, 2008.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on March 28,
2008, in line with previous guidance, Fitch Ratings stated that
Clear Channel's 'BB-' Issuer Default Rating and Senior Unsecured
Ratings would remain in place if the going-private transaction
is not completed.

Similarly, Moody's Investors Service's said that the company's
ratings remain under review for possible downgrade pending
closing of the acquisition.  Moody's will continue to monitor
developments in order to assess the likelihood that the
transaction will close.  Moody's had previously stated in
December 2007 that it would likely downgrade the company's
Corporate Family Rating to B2 when its change of control is
completed.


PERNOD RICARD: To Acquire Vin & Spirit for EUR5.6 Billion
---------------------------------------------------------
Pernod Ricard disclosed the signing of a contract with the
Kingdom of Sweden for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of
the Vin & Sprit Group, the owner of Absolut vodka.

The acquisition does not include V&S’ 10% interest in Beam
Global Spirits & Wine, Inc.  This acquisition represents an
outstanding opportunity for Pernod Ricard and will result in the
Group becoming co-leader in the global wine & spirits industry.

The acquisition of V&S also provides Pernod Ricard with a
leading position in the Nordic wine & spirits market through its
portfolio of local brands.  In addition, V&S also brings other
attractive opportunities, notably Cruzan rum, a dynamic brand in
the United States (circa 600,000 cases sold in 2007 up +27%) and
Level, the number 4 brand in the super-premium vodka category in
the United States.

With the acquisition of V&S, Pernod Ricard becomes the co-leader
in the global wine & spirits industry with:

  -- Global spirits volumes of 91 million cases.

  -- The number 1 position in premium spirits with a 27% market
     share.

In the United States, the largest spirits market worldwide,
Pernod Ricard’s position increases from number 4 to number 2
with a market share of close to 14%.  V&S brands are currently
distributed in the US by Future Brands (a joint venture held 49%
by V&S and 51% by Fortune Brands) through a distribution
agreement currently in place until beginning of 2012. From an
operating stand point, V&S controls the marketing and A&P
strategy for its brands.  Furthermore, Absolut distributors are
already largely aligned with Pernod Ricard’s distributors in the
US.

In the rest of the world, Absolut will benefit from the strength
of Pernod Ricard’s globally integrated distribution network,
both in mature Western European markets as well as in high-
growth emerging regions.  Excluding the US and Nordic countries,
V&S’ brands are currently distributed through Maxxium, a joint
venture between V&S, Fortune Brands, The Edrington Group and
Remy Cointreau, each partner having a 25% shareholding.  Pernod
Ricard will exit Maxxium within 2 years from closing for a low
contractual cost.

Pernod Ricard will therefore enhance the growth of Absolut in
every region by combining its role as a brand-owner and its
global footprint in conjunction with the existing distribution
efforts of Future Brands and Maxxium.  Pernod Ricard will
immediately reap the benefit of Absolut’s presence in its
portfolio.

The acquisition of V&S will result in the end of the Stolichnaya
distribution contract which Pernod Ricard will continue to
perform during a short transitional period until SPI identifies
a new distributor.

                       Transaction Value

The price paid for V&S by Pernod Ricard will be EUR1,450 million
plus US$6,050 million, i.e. EUR5,280 million at the current
Euro/USD exchange rate.  Pernod Ricard will also assume net debt
of EUR346 million as of Dec. 31, 2007 resulting in a total
enterprise value of EUR5,626 million.

V&S will pay the Swedish government a dividend of EUR85 million
before closing of the transaction, and the purchase price of the
shares will be increased by a pro-rated annual interest charge
of 2.0% from 1st January 2008 until the effective closing date
of the transaction.  In exchange, Pernod Ricard will benefit
from the full cash flow generated by V&S over this period.

The transaction will be financed through a new syndicated loan
underwritten by six first-class banks: BNP Paribas, Calyon,
JPMorgan, Natixis, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and Societe
Generale.  Pernod Ricard’s opening leverage will be at circa 6x
the new group’s pro forma EBITDA, in line with leverage levels
of the group after the Seagram and Allied Domecq transactions.
Strong cash flow generation and strong EBITDA growth will allow
for a fast deleveraging.  The initial cost of debt should be
around 5%.

This transaction will generate significant pre-tax synergies
estimated at between EUR125 and 150 million on an annual basis.
These synergies are expected to be fully extracted over two to
four years, depending on the timing of exit from the Future
Brands and Maxxium distribution agreements.

Based on V&S 2007 EBITDA of EUR270 million, the price paid
corresponds to implied multiples of 20.8x EBITDA pre-synergies,
or 14.2x post-synergies.

Based on a V&S 2007 CAAP(5) of EUR400 million estimated by
Pernod Ricard, the price implies CAAP multiples of 14.1x pre-
synergies and 12.4x post-synergies.  These multiples compare
favorably to those observed on recent comparative transactions.

Altogether, this acquisition will reinforce the growth profile
of Pernod Ricard and will generate significant value creation
for Pernod Ricard’s shareholders.  The impact of the transaction
on the earnings per share, excluding non-recurring items, is
expected to be neutral in year one and significantly positive
thereafter.  The return on investment should exceed Pernod
Ricard’s cost of capital by year 4 at the latest.

Pernod Ricard is confident the transaction will be completed
during summer 2008 after receiving the necessary regulatory
clearances.

Patrick Ricard, Chairman and CEO of Pernod Ricard, stated:
“The acquisition of V&S by Pernod Ricard is a fantastic
opportunity and represents our third transformational
acquisition since the Seagram and Allied Domecq transactions.
Absolut is an exceptional brand.  Its integration within our
portfolio of premium brands combined with the strength of our
worldwide distribution network paves the way for outstanding
growth prospects.  We become thus the co-leader of the global
wine and spirits industry.”

Pierre Pringuet, Managing Director, added:

“We are eager to welcome the V&S teams into the Pernod Ricard
Group.  The integration will be made easier by our decentralised
organisation model.  The integrity of the V&S group will be
maintained and it will become a new “brand-owner” and a
distribution platform for the Group in Nordic countries.”

Pernod Ricard has been assisted by the following advisers on
this transaction:

     -- JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, and PK Partners as financial
        advisors

     -- Gernandt & Danielsson, Debevoise & Plimpton,
        Macfarlanes, and Gide Loyrette Nouel as legal advisors

     -- Ernst & Young as financial advisor

     -- Springtime as communication advisor

                    About Pernod Ricard

Created by the merger between Pernod and Ricard (1975) --
http://www.pernod-ricard.com/-- the Group has undergone
sustained development, based on both organic growth and
acquisitions.  The purchase of part of Seagram (2001) and the
acquisition of Allied Domecq (2005) have made Pernod Ricard the
second largest player in the wine and spirits with industry
sales of EUR6.4 billion in 2006/07; it is also the leader in the
“ultra premium” spirits market.

Pernod Ricard benefits from a portfolio comprising some of the
most prestigious brands in the sector: Ricard aniseed,
Ballantine’s, Chivas Regal and The Glenlivet Scotch whiskies,
Jameson Irish Whiskey, Martell cognac, Havana Club rum, ,
Beefeater gin, Kahlúa and Malibu liqueurs, Mumm and Perrier-
Jouët champagnes, as well as Jacob’s Creek and Montana wines.
The Group favours a decentralised organisation, with "Brand
Owners" and "Distribution" companies established in each key
market, and employs a workforce of around 18,000 in 70
countries.

In addition, Pernod Ricard is strongly committed to a policy of
Corporate Social Responsibility and encourages responsible
consumption in order to prevent alcohol misuse and abuse.


PERNOD RICARD: S&P Revises Outlook on Vin & Spirits Acquisition
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services changed the outlook on French
spirits manufacturer Pernod Ricard S.A. to negative from stable,
due to a deterioration in Pernod's financial profile following
the group's announcement of its fully debt-financed acquisition
of Swedish Vin & Sprits Group for about EUR5.6 billion.

At the same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'BB+/B' long-
and short-term corporate credit and 'BB+' debt ratings on the
group.

"The ratings on Pernod continue to reflect its highly leveraged
capital structure and opportunistic acquisition strategy," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Michael Seewald. "They benefit,
however, from Pernod's enhanced position as a leading
manufacturer and marketer in the stable and cash-generative
spirits industry.

The group's adjusted net debt was EUR7 billion at Dec. 31, 2007.

"The negative outlook reflects Pernod's high post-acquisition
leverage of more than 6x, which compares with our guidance of 5x
for the current rating," said Mr. Seewald.

In order to maintain a 'BB+' rating, S&P expects the group to
deleverage back to adequate levels in a reasonable time frame,
in line with its track record from previous transactions.  S&P
also expects the group to keep its enhanced business risk
profile, which should ensure the resilience of the group's cash
generation capacity.

In addition, Standard & Poor's expects Pernod to sustain sales
momentum at least in line with the industry, notwithstanding its
increased exposure to potentially slowing U.S. markets, while
improving profitability through economies of scale and an
enhanced product mix.

S&P might revise the outlook back to stable if the group
restores and maintains leverage of fully adjusted net debt to
EBITDA at less than 5x, which we do not expect in the short
term.

The ratings could come under pressure if the group loses sales
momentum, or if reaching and sustaining adjusted net debt to
EBITDA of about 5x and FFO to net debt at about 15% within the
24 months following the acquisition becomes unrealistic.


SR TELECOM: Selling Assets to Groupe Lagasse for US$6 Million
-------------------------------------------------------------
SR Telecom Inc. signed an asset purchase agreement to sell
majority of its assets, including its WiMAZ Forum-certified
symmetryMX product line, to Groupe Lagasse for an aggregate
consideration of US$6.05 million payable at closing and by the
assumption of certain stated liabilities.

The transaction, once completed, will provide continuity for SR
Telecom's international customer base and permit the company to
grow and capitalize on its many WiMAX opportunities.  The
transaction, which is subject to certain closing conditions and
court approval, is expected to close on or before April 4, 2008.

"We are pleased to reach this agreement with Groupe Lagasse,"
said Serge Fortin, President and CEO of SR Telecom.  "Their
international presence, financial strength and entrepreneurial
spirit, along with their knowledge and expertise in the high
technology field, make Groupe Lagasse a strong financial and
operational purchaser for SR Telecom’s business.  This deal
clearly benefits our employees and our customers around the
world as it will enable us to quickly resume normal operations,
and accelerate the development, delivery and deployment of our
leading-edge WiMAX solutions."

"Groupe Lagasse had been searching for ways to tap in to the
WiMAX market for quite some time," Louis Lagasse, Chairman of
Groupe Lagasse said.  "In SR Telecom, we saw an organization
possessing a solid business plan, a strong management team, a
significant order pipeline, and an unequaled depth of expertise
and experience in wireless telecommunications.  This acquisition
allows us to leverage the synergies between our current
organization and SR Telecom to immediately enter the rapidly-
growing global WiMAX market as a major player with a feature-
rich, field-proven product line."

Under terms of the agreement, Groupe Lagasse will purchase SR
Telecom’s brand, trademarks, intellectual property, patents,
inventories and equipment relating to its symmetryMX product
line.  It is not expected that SR Telecom shareholders will
receive any value out of the proceeds of such sale.

SR Telecom filed for creditor protection under the CCAA on
Nov. 19, 2007.  On Feb. 29, 2008, it announced that it had
obtained an order from the Quebec Superior Court to extend the
period of the court-ordered stay of proceedings against SR

   -- US$9.7m Class E notes (ISIN XS0230944794): affirmed at
      'BB'; Outlook Stable

The affirmations follow the replenishments of the underlying
portfolios and a satisfactory review of both transactions'
performance to date.

Ocean Star 2004 and Ocean Star 2005 are revolving synthetic
securitisations of shipping loan obligations originated by HSH
Nordbank AG (HSH, rated 'AAA'/'F1+' for guaranteed obligations
and 'A'/'F1' for unguaranteed obligations) and its predecessors,
LB Kiel and Hamburgische Landesbank, with respect to reference
portfolios with an outstanding amount of up to USD1,054.7m and
USD570.1m, respectively.  The reference portfolio consists of
loans secured by ships.

This is Ocean Star 2004's seventh portfolio replenishment since
closing and Ocean Star 2005's fifth replenishment since closing.
The levels of available credit enhancement have not changed
since closing for both transactions.  No credit events, defaults
or losses for both transactions have occurred since inception.
No delinquencies have been reported since closing.  The rating
of collateral available to the issuer has not changed.  The
current portfolio characteristics meet the transactions' general
replenishment conditions and bear lower concentration risk
compared to the initial portfolios.

Fitch will continue to monitor both transactions.

PROPEX INC: Wants to Implement Employee Incentive Plan
------------------------------------------------------
Propex Inc. and its debtor-affiliates seek authority from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee to
implement the Propex Employee Incentive Program.

Many of the Debtors' employees have developed valuable
institutional knowledge regarding relationships that are
critical to the Debtors' successful operations, Henry J. Kaim,
Esq., at King & Spalding, LLP, in Houston, Texas, states.
Likewise, a large portion of the Debtors' workforce holds highly
skilled and critical industry-specific positions necessary to
run the Debtors' day-to-day businesses.

The Debtors state that the successful management of their
ongoing business activities depends on maintaining a consistent,
focused, and enthusiastic effort by their employees and others.
However, Mr. Kaim says the Debtors' employees are currently
without any incentive compensation opportunity due to the lack
of an approved bonus program for 2008 and beyond.  Because of
this, the Debtors believe that their employees are likely to
experience increased employee distraction and, consequently,
reduced efficiency and productivity and uncontrolled attrition.

Mr. Kaim says the Incentive Program has been carefully
structured to balance the need to motivate and provide
appropriate market-competitive compensation to the Debtors'
workforce, while at the same time ensuring that the estates
receive enhanced value in exchange for payments made under the
Incentive Program.

The Incentive Program consists of (i) a "Rank and File" Bonus
Program, and (ii) a Key Employee Incentive Plan.  The core
components of the Incentive Program require the achievement of
certain levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
and amortization for the Debtors before payments will be made.

                       Rank and File Plan

The Rank and File Plan is the historical standard annual bonus
program that is put in place each year and provides an incentive
compensation opportunity for all employees, from executives down
to plant workers.  The proposed Rank and File Program
essentially mirrors the Rank and File bonus programs established
in 2006 and 2007, Mr. Kaim says.

For 2008, the Rank and File Program has a minimum EBITDA
threshold of US$35,000,000.  Bonuses payable under this program
range from US$2,200,000 for EBITDA of US$35,000,000 to
US$4,300,000 for EBITDA of US$44,000,000.  The average amount
that an employee will receive will be between US$1,165 and
US$2,280 depending on EBITDA.

All bonus payments due under the Rank and File Program will be
made upon completion of the 2008 audit, expected to be completed
around March 31, 2009, except that if the company earns
US$35,000,000 of year to date EBITDA by November 30, 2008, bonus
payments will be paid on December 20, 2008.  All remaining bonus
payments due will be paid around March 31, 2009.

                 Key Employee Incentive Plan

The KEIP is a program that provides incentives to key employees
integral to maintaining operational stability, driving
profitability, and managing the Debtors' bankruptcy cases.

The KEIP provides for a cash-only award contingent upon the
achievement of certain financial performance thresholds.  KEIP
payments are separate from the payments made under the Rank and
File Program although participants in the KEIP are also eligible
for payments under the Rank and File Program.

The Debtors have identified 45 senior employees who will be
eligible to participate in the KEIP.  The key employees under
the KEIP are tiered into four categories, with each group (i)
having an ability to earn up to a certain percentage of base
salary depending on EBITDA performance, and (ii) remaining in
compliance with all covenants contained in the Debtors'
postpetition loan documents.

Group 1 is made up of five of the most senior level executives,
Group 2 has five employees, Group 3 has 17 employees, and
Group 4 has 18 employees.

Up to US$3,500,000 of payments made under the KEIP will be
excluded from Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of testing
financial covenants for the Debtors under the DIP Loan
Documents.  Payments due under the KEIP in excess of
US$3,500,000 will not be paid until the date the Debtors emerge
from bankruptcy, or upon the sale of substantially all of their
assets.  The Debtors' employees are projected to receive amounts
ranging from US$17,000 to US$300,000, based on US$35,000,000
EBITDA.  Amounts are projected to be higher at greater EBITDA
levels.

All payments due under the KEIP are due on the earlier of
March 31, 2009, or the emergence date, except that an interim
payment will be made on April 30, 2009, for participants of
Groups 2, 3, and 4 of the KEIP if the minimum EBITDA threshold
of US$4,600,000 is reached.

Moreover, to the extent that substantially all of the Debtors'
assets are sold before the outside payment date of March 31,
2008, payments will be made under the KEIP as though target
EBITDA thresholds have been met if year to date EBITDA is at
least at the minimum levels.

SIRVA INC: Court Okays Sale of U.K. & Ireland Operations to TEAM
----------------------------------------------------------------
Sirva Inc. and its debtor-affiliates received authority from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to
consummate the Sale of their ownership shares in SIRVA Group
Holdings Limited and SIRVA Ireland, despite objections.

Triple Net Investments IX, LP, opposed the Debtors' request to
sell their ownership shares to companies managed by TEAM
Relocations Limited, for US$4,200,000.

Robert E. Nies, Esq., at Wolff & Samson PC, in New York, asked
the Court to delay approval of the Motion until the Debtors make
greater disclosure of the circumstances that require approval of
the "extraordinary and exigent sale."

Triple Net asked that:

   -- the first disclosure must address TEAM, and its "dual
      relationship" to the Purchasers and to the Committee; and

   -- a full disclosure of the Committee's process in reaching
      support of the Motion must be made.

Triple Net stated that the Motion and the contract of Sale is
not clear with regard to the legal exposure of SIRVA, Inc., the
parent company of the foreign non-debtor subsidiaries, after the
Sale.

According to Mr. Nies, notwithstanding the potential benefit of
the Debtors in discharging their obligations with respect to the
Sale, they need to explain in greater detail how the Motion will
benefit all unsecured creditors, particularly the Class 5
claimants.

Absent full disclosure, Triple Net insisted that despite the
need to fund SIRVA UK and avoid liquidation, the Motion should
be denied for having to abandon a normal sale process under
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Judge James M. Peck authorized the Debtors to:

   * consummate the Sale of the shares to TEAM, pursuant to the
     terms of the Share Purchase Agreement;

   * close the Sale contemplated by in the Agreement; and

   * execute and close fully the Agreement.

Judge Peck determined that TEAM undertook the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement in accordance with Section 363(m)
of the Bankruptcy Code; hence (i) the reversal or modification
on appeal of the authorization to consummate the Sale will not
affect the validity of the Sale, and (ii) TEAM is entitled to
the full protections of Section 363(m).

Furthermore, Judge Peck approved the Notice of Sale to be served
on all parties-in-interest with respect to the Sale.

The sale of the shares by the Debtors to TEAM in a Private Sale
with no competitive bidding is approved and authorized in light
of, among others, the liquidity needs of SIRVA UK, Judge Peck
held.

All objections to the Motion were withdrawn at the hearing held
March 21, 2008.

ALITALIA SPA: Air France Refuses to Trim Planned Job Cuts
---------------------------------------------------------
Air France-KLM SA reiterated its planned 2,100 job cuts at
Alitalia S.p.A. in its revised proposal submitted to the Italian
carrier's unions, various reports say.

According to Bloomberg News, Air France maintained plans to cut
1,600 jobs in Alitalia Fly and 500 more in Alitalia Servizi.

Air France, BBC reports, also maintained plans to:

    * ground some flights;

    * close Alitalia's cargo unit by 2010; and

    * terminate contract out of ground handling and aircraft
      maintenance.

The French carrier, however, proposed new measures, which it
said would offer affected employees greater benefits, BBC News
reports.  Under the revised proposal, Air France will grant
Alitalia's employees more early retirement benefits or transers
to other positions or duties.

Eight of Alitalia's unions -- FILT CGIL, FIT CISL, Uiltrasporti,
UGL Trasporti, SDL inter-category, Union Piloti, ANPAV, and Avia
-- described the revised as "unacceptable," Bloomberg News
reports.

In a statement published by Agenzia Giornalitica Italia, the
unions said Air France "re-proposes in substance and in format
what was already shown to unions in the meeting of March 25, for
which reason the evaluation that the proposal was insufficient,
already made at that time, is re-confirmed by us."

As recently reported in the TCR-Europe, Alitalia and the present
government have accepted Air France-KLM SA's binding offer,
subject to several conditions including union approval.  Air
France, so far, has yet to convince the unions to accept its
business plan, which foresees 2,100 job cuts.

Air France had set a March 31, 2008, deadline for an agreement.

The effectiveness conditions for Air France's offer include:

    * formal approval of the Industrial Plan 2008-2010 by
      Alitalia’s Board of Directors;

    * formal agreement in a manner satisfactory for
      Air France-KLM between Alitalia and the trade unions
      representing the majority of each category of Alitalia’s
      employees, regarding the implementation of the Industrial
      Plan, the rules of employment, the plan related to the
      social shock absorbers and the contemplated transaction;

    * formal agreement in a manner satisfactory for
      Air France-KLM between Alitalia and the trade unions of
      Alitalia Servizi representing the majority of each
      category of Alitalia Servizi’s employees on the necessary
      restructuring measures and the related shock absorbers
      plan;

    * Italy's Ministry of Economy and Finance to grant Alitalia
      a credit line, or the necessary guarantees to obtain a
      credit line in favor of Alitalia of EUR300 million to be
      repaid immediately after the capital increase;

    * formal agreement between Alitalia and Aeroporti di Roma on
      the Rome Fiumicino Airport and on the service levels
      required for the implementation of the Industrial Plan
      2008-2010;

    * with respect to the claim brought on by SEA against
      Alitalia to the tribunal of Busto Arsizio, either:

      -- the official withdrawal from the claim;

      -- its settlement in a manner satisfactory to Air France;

      -- the granting by the MEF to Alitalia of appropriate
         indemnification commitments, in case necessary by
         enacting an appropriate law decree, or any other
         applicable solution satisfactory to Air France-KLM to
         definitely remove the risk attached to the claim;

    * formal agreement between Alitalia, Fintecna and Alitalia
      Servizi, for what concerns the interest of each party,
      among other things, to re-internalize in Alitalia certain
      activities and to renegotiate certain clauses of the
      service agreements;

    * formal written confirmation from the MEF that the general
      interests are properly safeguarded in the context of the
      contemplated transaction and it shall, subject to
      certain conditions, tender its Alitalia shares and
      Alitalia convertible bonds in the tender offers;

    * formal written undertaking from the competent Italian
      governmental authority to maintain the current portfolio
      of the current Alitalia’s air traffic rights, continue to
      address in a fair, transparent and non discriminatory
      manner any future requests form Alitalia for new air
      traffic rights, and provide cooperation and assistance in
      the case of any major difficulties with extra-European
      Community countries.

ALITALIA: Italian Unions Reject Air France-KLM's New Offer
----------------------------------------------------------
(Checksource)
Italian unions rejected Air France-KLM's takeover offer for
Alitalia, the Financial Times reports.  Air France's bid is
subject to a condition that all nine unions must accept the
offer, the Financial Times reports.

In a joint statement, according to the report, eight unions said
that the new offer was essentially the same as before and still
inadequate.  They consented to carry on the negotiations with
Air France-KLM on March 31, 2008.

The main pilot's union did not sign the joint statement to show
they are not happy with the offer.

AMERICAN AXLE: Likely to Outsource Work if Union Talks Fail
-----------------------------------------------------------
American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc.'s Chief Executive
Officer Richard Dauch berated United Auto Workers union
representatives for the work stoppage that has caused a chain
reaction in the U.S. auto industry, Tom Walsh of the Detroit
Free Press reports.  The CEO added that the auto parts
manufacturer may end up outsourcing its manufacturing division
if talks with the UAW negotiations fail.

CEO Dauch said that the company has the right to outsource its
work since they have facilities all over the globe -- Mexico,
South America, Europe, and Asia, Mr. Walsh recounts.  Mr. Dauch
added that Axle will not be forced into bankruptcy.

Since the resumption of talks between Axle and UAW on March 13,
2008, as reported in the Troubled Company Reporter, the
discussions have been on and off, Mr. Walsh relates.

Axle spokeswoman Renee Rogers said letters were sent informing
workers, who were laid off before the strike, to come back to
work, The Associated Press reports.  If not, she added, these
workers could lose benefits.

As previously reported in the TCR, labor talks ceased on March
11 after a bargaining that lasted three days failed to produce
results.  Union officials weren't happy with the terms proposed
by the auto parts company.

Axle is demanding wage reductions of up to US$14 an hour as well
as elimination of future retiree health care and defined benefit
pensions for active workers.  Axle, which earned US$37 million
on US$3.25 billion sales in 2007, wanted a deal like those UAW
gave General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co., Chrysler LLC, and
parts makers Delphi Corp. and Dana Corp., insisting that cutting
labor costs is essential to be competitive.  The auto parts
supplier is asking the union to approve US$20 to US$30 hourly
wage cuts from US$73 per hour to US$27 per hour, arguing that
its original U.S. locations incurred losses for three years.

The March 11 talks would have resolved a strike, which started
Feb. 26, 2008, of the 3,650 employees at master-contract plants
in Michigan and New York.

                     American Axle Statement

As previously reported, according to the company, it is not, and
never has been, an original equipment manufacturer.  AAM is a
Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 supplier to the automotive industry.
Yet, 14 years after the company was founded, AAM continues to
work under an uncompetitive OEM-style labor agreement with the
UAW.

The company disclosed that its "all-in labor costs" at the
original U.S. locations covered by this agreement with the UAW
are approximately 300% of the market rate of its competitors in
the United States.  AAM's UAW-represented facilities currently
affected by the work stoppage are not profitable and have not
been for years.

In formal and informal discussions that have occurred for more
than two years, AAM has presented the UAW with many alternatives
to address the company's need to transition to a market
competitive labor cost structure in the United States.

AAM has proposed to make a significant financial commitment to
fund retirement incentives, buy-outs and buy-downs to help
associates make the transition to a market competitive labor
cost structure.  This is AAM's preferred approach.  This
approach would allow AAM to continue operating at the original
U.S. locations and retain significant employment at these UAW-
represented facilities.

If a market competitive labor cost structure cannot be attained
at the original U.S. locations, AAM has advised the UAW that it
will consider additional capacity rationalization initiatives.

                     Strike Impact on Automakers

GM has about 29 facilities affected by the strike at Axle as the
supplier attempts to negotiate with the union.  GM president and
COO Frederick Henderson said GM won't meddle in the labor
dispute between AAM and the UAW.

As reported in the TCR on March 27, 2008, the month-long work
protest of union members at Axle is taking its toll on GM,
threatening the automaker's brake part plant in Lordstown, Ohio,
which has 2,400 workers.

Chrysler LLC is temporarily closing its vehicle assembly
facility in Newark, Delaware as the strike among UAW union
members at AAM  stretches.  AAM supplies Chrysler components for
the Dodge Durango and Chrysler Aspen sport utility vehicles in
Newark and two versions of the Dodge Ram pickup made in
Saltillo, Mexico.

PIN Group: 2,200 More Employees Likely to Lose Jobs
---------------------------------------------------
Around 2,200 PIN Group AG employees is likely to be laid off
today, April 1, 2008, Thomson Financial disclosed citing a
report by German news agency dpa.

These cuts are in addition to the 2,770 employees already laid
off.


Headquartered in Luxembourg, PIN Group AG
-- http://www.pin-group.net/-- provides postal services across
Germany.  The group has more than 60 regional subsidiaries, and

efficient nationwide distribution network.

As previously reported in the TCR-Europe report, PIN Group's
units filed for insolvency after Axel Springer AG, which holds a
71% stake, decided to stop funding the company.  Axel Springer
said the business in unviable following the German government's
decision to introduce minimum wages of EUR8-EUR9.80 for the
postal industry, which would PIN, which has 9,000 employees, up
to EUR45 million, although "most of the costs are expected to be
covered by a form of state reimbursement."

ELM B.V.: S&P Lowers then Withdraws Rating on EUR10 Mln Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has taken rating actions on
the spread-based leveraged super senior secured credit-linked
notes series 35 issued by ELM B.V.

     -— The ratings are lowered to 'D' from 'CCC/Watch Neg' and
        withdrawn; and

     -— The restructured notes are assigned an 'A' rating.

The ratings on the notes were lowered to 'D' and removed from
CreditWatch with negative implications, since Standard & Poor's
considers the restructuring of the notes in a manner that does
not pay interest in accordance with the terms of the notes to be
a default.  Following the restructuring, the coupon paid on
the notes has been reduced.

The new ratings on the restructured notes reflect the new terms
and conditions of these notes.  Under the restructured notes the
leverage and trigger matrix have changed so that the ratings on
the notes are commensurate with an 'A' rating.

S&P originally assigned ratings to this transaction on Nov. 11,
2005, and the first rating action taken was to lower the rating
to 'BBB' from 'AAA' on Feb. 7, 2008.  S&P lowered the rating to
'CCC' and placed it on CreditWatch negative on March 6, 2008.

LSS transactions contain both credit and market value risks
associated with the underlying portfolio.  These transactions
have a market value trigger based on the weighted-average
portfolio spread and portfolio losses at a given point in time.

If this trigger is breached, the noteholders have the option to
participate in deleveraging the structure or proceeding to
unwind the transaction and their investment.  When assigning a
rating, S&P assesses the likelihood of breaching the attachment
point (credit risk) and the probability of breaching a specific
spread trigger (market value risk).

PETROLEOS DE VENEZUELA: Exxon Mobil Brings Case to Netherlands
--------------------------------------------------------------
El Universal reports that Exxon Mobil won a freezing injunction
hitting Petroleos de Venezuela SA's assets in both the
Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles.

According to El Universal, Hildegard Rondon de Sanso, legal
counsel of PDVSA in the case against US oil major Exxon Mobil,
said that following a victory in the England High Court, the
conglomerate now has to advocate its viewpoint in the
Netherlands court where the US company filed an action.

Last week, Judge Paul Walker of the London High Court overturned
the freezing injunction against PDVSA.  While satisfied with the
ruling issued by Judge Walker, Ms. Rondon stressed that PDVSA
"has less arguments for defense in the Netherlands, as the
holding does own assets in the Netherlands, namely Bopec -- a
small oil storage terminal based in Bonaire -- and 220,000 bpd
Isla refinery in Curacao, which PDVSA operates under a leasing
agreement," El Universal relates.

Petroleos de Venezuela SA -- http://www.pdv.com/-- is
Venezuela's state oil company in charge of the development of
the petroleum, petrochemical and coal industry, as well as
planning, coordinating, supervising and controlling the
operational activities of its divisions, both in Venezuela and
abroad.  The company has a commercial office in China.

PDVSA is one of the top exporters of oil to the US with proven
reserves of 77.2 billion barrels of oil -- the most outside the
Middle East -- and about 150 trillion cu. ft. of natural gas.

PDVSA's exploration and production take place in Venezuela, but
the company also has refining and marketing operations in the
Caribbean, Europe, and the US.

                              *     *     *

To date, Petroleos de Venezuela SA carries Fitch's BB- long term
issuer default rating and local currency long term issuer
default rating.  Fitch said the ratings outlook was negative.

NAFTOGAZ UKRAINNY: No Bankruptcy Risk, Says Prime Minister
----------------------------------------------------------
Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Timoshenko denied a statement by
President Viktor Yushchenko that NAK Naftogaz Ukrainy is nearing
bankruptcy due to US$2 billion unpaid debts,
RosBusinessConsulting reportts.

According to the report, Ms. Timoshenko said the government
would provide Naftogaz with necessary funds to remain afloat,
adding that her administration is set to approve the state-owned
company's balanced budget soon.

Ms. Timoshenko, Prime-Tass reports, earlier dismissed Mr.
Yushchenko's claims that Naftogaz had US$2 billion unpaid debts,
noting that the company only owes Russian-owned fuel giant OAO
Gazprom US$900 million for gas supplies.

Prime-Tass relates that Naftogaz had repaid US$$765 million of
its US$1.5 billion debt to Gazprom, which had claimed that the
company owed it US$1 billion gas supplies in November-December
2007 and US$500 million gas supplies since Jan. 1, 2008.

As reported in the TCR-Europe on March 19, 2008, Naftogaz
Ukrainy Oleg Dubyna and Gazprom Alexey Miller signed an
agreement, in which the Ukrainian party would pay US$179.5 per
1,000 cubic meters for gas supplies in January-December 2008, at
total volume of 49.8 billion cubic meters.

Naftogaz would also pay US$315 per 1,000 cubic meters for gas
supplied in January-February 2008, the cost of which should be
compensated through return of the appropriate volume of natural
gas.

Under the agreement, Gazprom would directly supply gas to
Naftogaz, dissolving of intermediaries Rosukrenergo AG and CJSC
UkrGazEnergo.

Negotiation on natural gas supply terms to Ukraine in 2009 and
the subsequent years will continue based on existing market
conditions for Central and Middle Asia gas purchase prices.

                     About Naftogaz Ukrainy

Headquartered in Kiev, Ukraine, NAK Naftogaz Ukrainy --
http://www.naftogaz.com/-- processes gas, oil and condensate at

Company.

outlook.

ROSNEFT OIL: Novosibirsk Court Halts TGK-11 Share Sale
------------------------------------------------------
The Arbitration Court of Novosibirsk issued an injunction order
on the placement of new shares at TGK-11, in light of a lawsuit
filed against the power producer by OOO Neft Aktiv, a unit of
OAO Rosneft Oil Co., Reuters reports, citing a source privy to
the matter.

"This is already another Neft Aktiv case, which was filed in
Novosibirsk," the source told Reuters.  "But unlike the Moscow
court's decision, they asked in this case to take the
precautionary measure of blocking the placement of the new
shares."

As reported in the TCR-Europe on Feb. 21, 2008, Neft Aktiv filed
a lawsuit against TGK-11 at the Moscow Arbitration Court,
questioning the shareholders' meeting in which TomskEnergo
agreed to merge into the power producer.

The Moscow court, however, did not issue an order to stop
trading of shares or freezing assets of TGK-11, pending the
settlement of the lawsuit.

Reuters suggests that if the court rules that the meeting was
illegal, TGK-11 could be forced to split off TomskEnergo, which
makes up 26% of equity base and about a third of both its heat
and electricity production.  Rosneft holds a 5% stake in TGK-11.

Dmitry Terekhov, an analyst at Antanta Capital, told Reuters
said the lawsuit would negatively affect TGK-11's value, adding
that the legal filing may be planned let an investor buy either
all or part of the firm at a discount.

TGK-11 spokeswoman Oktyabrina Yermakova, however, told Reuters
that the meeting was organized in full compliance with the law.

According to Reuters, TGK-11 is a merger of TomskEnergo and the
Omsk Electricity Generation Co., two local utilities serving the
Omsk and Tomsk regions of Siberia.  Rosneft has major strategic
interests in the oil-producing Tomsk region, including a 50%
stake in Tomskneft, but not in Omsk region

                          About Rosneft

Headquartered in Moscow, Russia, OAO Rosneft Oil Co. --
http://www.rosneft.com/-- produces and markets petroleum

YUKOS OIL: Dutch Court Grants US$850 Million to Shareholders
------------------------------------------------------------
A Dutch Court awarded Moravel, a subsidiary of OAO Yukos Oil
Co.'s majority shareholder GML, a US$850 million repayment for
an outstanding loan, published reports say.

According to the reports, Moravel received the money on
March 14, 2008.  GML director Tim Osborne said that the money
will remain within GML and will go toward general purposes.

A copy of the court' ruling obtained by The Moscow Times stated
that GML received part of the proceeds that Yukos' Dutch
subsidiary, Yukos International received from the 2006 sale of
Mazeikiu Nafta to PKN Orlen.

                         About Yukos Oil

Headquartered in Moscow, Yukos Oil -- http://yukos.com/-- is an
open joint stock company existing under the laws of the Russian
Federation.  Yukos is involved in energy industry substantially
through its ownership of its various subsidiaries, which own or
are otherwise entitled to enjoy certain rights to oil and gas
production, refining and marketing assets.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 protection on Dec. 14, 2004
(Bankr. S.D. Tex. Case No. 04-47742), but the case was dismissed
on Feb. 24, 2005, by the Hon. Letitia Z. Clark.  A few days
later, the Russian Government sold its main production unit
Yugansk to a little-known firm Baikalfinansgroup for
$9.35 billion, as payment for US$27.5 billion in tax arrears for
2000-2003.  Yugansk eventually was bought by state-owned
Rosneft, which is now claiming more than US$12 billion from
Yukos.

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

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

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

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

On Nov. 23, 2007, the Russian Trading System and Moscow
Interbank Currency Exchange stopped trading Yukos shares after
the company formally ceased to exist.  Mr. Rebgun completed the
company's liquidation process afte Russia's Federal Tax Service
has entered Yukos' liquidation on the Uniform State Register of
Legal Entities.

As reported in the TCR-Europe on Nov. 14, 2007, the Moscow
Arbitration Court has entered an order closing the liquidation
proceedings of OAO Yukos Oil Co., 15 months after it was
declared bankrupt on Aug. 1, 2006.

AYT COLATERALES: Fitch Puts BB- Rating on EUR3.6 Million Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings assigned AyT Colaterales Global Hipotecario, FTA
Serie AyT Colaterales Global Hipotecario Caja Circulo I's
EUR150m mortgage-backed floating-rate notes due in November 2047
final ratings, as:

   -- EUR135m Class A: 'AAA'; Outlook Stable
   -- EUR6.3m Class B: 'A'; Outlook Stable
   -- EUR5.1m Class C: 'BBB-' (BBB minus); Outlook Stable
   -- EUR3.6m Class D: 'BB- ' (BB minus); Outlook Stable

This transaction is a cash flow securitisation of a EUR150m
static pool of first and second Spanish mortgage loans
originated and serviced by Caja de Ahorros y Monte de Piedad del
Circulo Catolico de Obreros de Burgos (Caja Circulo, rated 'A-'
(A minus)/'F2'/Outlook Negative).

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

Initial CE for the Class A to D notes is provided by
subordination and a reserve fund, which has been fully funded at
closing using a subordinated loan.

The final ratings address the payment of interest on the notes
according to the terms and conditions of the documentation,
subject to a deferral trigger on the Class B, C and D notes, as
well as the repayment of principal by legal final maturity.
Should the deferral trigger on the Class B, C and D notes be
hit, interest on these notes will be deferred in the priority of
payments.  In this instance, interest payments might not be
received for a period of time, but will be received by legal
final maturity.

The fund is regulated by Spanish Securitisation Law 19/1992 and
Royal Decree 926/1998.  Its sole purpose is to transform into
fixed-income securities a portfolio of mortgage certificates
(certificados de transmission de hipoteca, CTHs) acquired from
Caja Circulo. The CTHs are subscribed by Ahorro y Titulizacion
S.A., S.G.F.T., whose sole function is to manage asset-backed
notes on behalf of the fund.

MERISANT COMPANY: Moody's Rates US$245 Million Loans at B3
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service rated Merisant Company's proposed new
US$35 million bank revolving credit agreement and US$210 million
bank term loan at B3.  The new bank facilities will replace the
existing US$35 million revolving credit agreement and
approximately US$206 million in outstanding bank term loans,
whose ratings will be withdrawn when the new facilities are
executed.  Moody's affirmed Merisant's other ratings, including
its corporate family rating of Caa3 and its probability of
default rating of Caa3.  The rating outlook remains stable.

Rating assigned

Merisant Company

     -- New US$35 million senior secured revolving credit
        agreement at B3 (LGD2,16%)

     -- New US$210 million senior secured term loans at B3
        (LGD2,16%)

Ratings affirmed:

Merisant Worldwide, Inc.

     -- Corporate family rating at Caa3

     -- Probability of default rating at Caa3

     -- US$137 million senior subordinated discount notes
        maturing May 2014 at Ca (LGD6,91%)

Merisant Company

     -- US$35 million first lien senior secured revolving credit
        expiring in January 2009 at B3 (LGD2,16%)

     -- US$190 million first lien senior secured Term Loan B
        maturing in January 2010 at B3 (LGD2, 16%)

     -- US$15.7 million (original EU 50 million) 1st lien senior
        secured Term Loan A maturing in January 2009 at B3
        (LGD2, 16%)

Rating affirmed, and LGD % revised

Merisant Company

     -- US$225 million senior subordinated notes maturing in
        July 2013 at Ca (LGD4). LGD % to 63% from 65%

The new bank facilities, like the existing ones, will be senior
secured obligations.  Borrower will likewise be Merisant
Company, with guarantees from holding company Merisant Worldwide
and Merisant Company's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries
and material foreign subsidiaries.  Security will be a first
priority lien on capital stock of Merisant Company, and
substantially all of the personal property assets of Merisant
Company and each guarantor (limited to 65% for first tier
foreign subsidiaries).  The proposed new revolving credit
agreement will expire in January 2012, and the new term loan
will mature in January 2013; this lengthening of maturities is a
credit positive.  However, the maturities of the new bank
facilities will be accelerated to the earliest date on or after
April 15, 2009 if the holding company or Merisant Company would
not be permitted by the terms of any indebtedness to make the
next scheduled cash payment of interest on the holding company's
senior subordinated discount notes due 2014, whose interest will
no longer be pay-in-kind as of May 2009.

The affirmation of Merisant's existing ratings is based on the
greater stability in the company's operating performance.
Reported operating profit margin in each of the first three
quarters of fiscal 2007 was stronger than in the same period in
the prior year, even when excluding US$30 million in other
income in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.  Profitability has
benefited from supply chain programs to streamline manufacturing
and from the introduction of new products such as Sweet
Simplicity(R).  Cost structure has also been helped by the
current excess of global aspartame supply.  Further cost savings
and the leveraging of manufacturing capacity through the
production of private label goods represent opportunities to
enhance profitability, while greater international expansion
could boost sales over the intermediate term.  Merisant is
anticipated to be able to fund working capital, capital
expenditures, and modest term debt repayments with cash on hand
(US$51 million at December 31, 2007), its US$35 million
revolving credit agreement, and modest operating cash flow.

Merisant's Caa3 corporate family rating reflects the company's
very heavy debt burden relative to its earnings and cash flow
and the likelihood, in Moody's view, that the company might need
to further restructure its debt in order to be able to meet
fierce competition and to invest in growth opportunities.

The rating outlook is stable, given that the current corporate
family rating adequately captures debt recovery expectations for
the enterprise.

Headquartered in Chicago, Merisant Worldwide, Inc. is a leading
global producer and marketing of low-calorie tabletop
sweeteners. Its premium-priced brands are Equal and Canderel,
which are sweetened with aspartame. Merisant has an estimated
21% dollar share of the global retail market for low-calorie
tabletop sweeteners, and sales of approximately $290 million for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

The company also has offices in Mexico City and Switzerland.

X-RITE INC: Moody's Cuts Ratings on Covenant Compliance Concerns
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service lowered X-Rite, Inc.'s corporate
family rating to B2 from B1.  Moody's also lowered the rating on
the company's first lien senior secured credit facilities to B1
from Ba3 and the rating on the second lien term loan to Caa1
from B3.  All ratings were placed under review for possible
downgrade.

As part of this action, Moody's also lowered the company's
speculative grade liquidity rating to SGL-4 from SGL-1.

The review for possible further downgrade was prompted by
Moody's concern over the company's ability to comply with the
financial covenants governing its senior secured credit
facilities given softening demand from its key OEM customers and
slowing sales activity in the retail business unit.  Moody's
review will focus on X-Rite's plan to address any potential
covenant violations and its ability to secure a timely waiver or
amendment to its credit facilities.  The review will also focus
on the status of the Pantone and Amazys integrations as well as
an assessment of the company's operating performance, business
strategy, and liquidity.  The downgrade of the speculative grade
liquidity rating reflects Moody's opinion that there is
potential for covenant violations during the next twelve months,
and the likelihood that softening demand levels and a weak
economic environment will pressure the company's cash flows.

The ratings downgrade reflects the likelihood for weaker than
expected operating performance relative to Moody's expectations,
the concern that lower earnings will translate into credit
metrics that are no longer consistent with the B1 ratings
category, and concerns that a weak economic environment will
apply ongoing pressure to the company's operating performance.

These ratings were downgraded:

  -- Corporate family rating, to B2 from B1;

  -- Probability-of-default rating, to B2 from B1;

  -- US$40 million senior secured revolving credit facility due
     2012, to B1 (LGD3, 35%) from Ba3 (LGD3, 35%);

  -- US$270 million first lien senior secured term loan due
     2012, to B1 (LGD3, 35%) from Ba3 (LGD3, 35%);

  -- US$105 million second lien senior secured term loan due
     2013, to Caa1 (LGD5, 87%) from B3 (LGD5, 87%).

X-Rite, Inc.), headquartered in Grand Rapids, MI, is the world's
largest provider of color measurement systems offering hardware,
software, and support solutions that ensure color accuracy.  The
company reported sales of approximately US$249 million for the
fiscal year ended December 29, 2007.

The company's European headquarters is located at Switzerland.
In the Asia Pacific Region, the company's headquarters is
located at Hong Kong.

AVISTAR COMMS: To Reduce 25% of U.S. and European Workforce
-----------------------------------------------------------
(UK)
Avistar Communications Corporation disclosed decisive cost
cutting measures.  As part of this cost management program, the
company will reduce its U.S. and European workforce by
approximately 25%, largely by the end of first quarter 2008.  In
addition, Avistar is suspending the formation of its previously-
announced China-based development capacity.  This cost structure
realignment is prompted in large part by Microsoft Corporation's
recent challenge to all of Avistar's US patents through the US
Patent and Trademark Office.

Following extended in-depth licensing discussions, Microsoft
moved to challenge all of Avistar's 29 US patents using the
USPTO's re-examination process.  "This single action against
Avistar's complete U.S. patent portfolio represents over 5% of
the entire 2007 third-party re-examination challenges at the
USPTO," observed Simon Moss, Avistar's CEO.  "This leads to only
one logical conclusion -- Microsoft must be taking our patent
portfolio very seriously in regard to it's relevance to their
present or future products.  Why else would it take such a
dramatic action?"

"Avistar has 80 U.S. and foreign patents in its current
portfolio relevant to the burgeoning unified communications
market.  The  patents submitted for re-examination have a 1993
priority date, have already been examined over a large body of
prior art, and include patents that have successfully withstood
two litigations," added Tony Rodde, Avistar's President;
Intellectual Property Division.  "Accordingly, we believe that
the re-examination process, if undertaken by the USPTO, will
validate these patents and make them even stronger."

Avistar remains hopeful of reaching a favorable resolution with
Microsoft on licensing Avistar's intellectual property in the
near future.  In the meantime, however, the prospect of an
extensive re-examination process and the potential impact on
Avistar's financial outlook have left Avistar with no
alternative but to proactively and decisively execute this set
of cost reductions in order to protect its intellectual property
and its associated product business.

These cost management efforts are structured to effectively
align operations to deal with Microsoft's challenges, while
still allowing Avistar to continue investing in its C3 video
communications and collaboration product line, as well as
continuing to license its intellectual property and technology.
In expanding its C3 product suite, Avistar has scheduled the
introduction of new, market-leading software solutions which
implement additional unified communication features, add
turnkey room-based videoconferencing solutions targeted at small
to medium meeting rooms and executive offices, as well as
incorporating significant progress in key community and supply
chain innovations.

Avistar is recognized as one of the early pioneers in unified
communications.  Wainhouse Research expects the market for
Unified Communications to expand 104% annually to US$16.6
billion by 2012.  The relevance of Avistar's patent portfolio
has never been more important to the firm.  An analysis
conducted last year by Ocean Tomo, LLC, a leading appraisal and
services firm with specialized expertise in valuing patents,
indicated that, subject to certain qualifications, the potential
net present value of monetizing Avistar's intellectual property
could represent an income of between US$300 and US$500 million.

AVISTAR COMMS: Dec. 31 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by US$9.8 Mln
--------------------------------------------------------------
Avistar Communications Corporation disclosed that as of Dec. 31,
2007, the company's balance sheet showed US$10.6 million in
total assets, US$20.4 million in total liabilities, and US$9.8
million in total stockholders' deficit.

Its December 31 balance sheet also showed strained liquidity
with US$4.9 million in total current assets and US$15.6 million
in total current liabilities.

Revenue for the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2007, of US$12.0
million, and income from settlement and patent licensing was
US$16.2 million for the same period.  This compared to revenue
of US$13.2 million and income from settlement and patent
licensing of US$4.2 million for the 12 months ended Dec. 31,
2006, representing a 61% year-over-year growth in the combined
metric of revenue plus income from settlement and patent
licensing activities, which management uses to monitor the
company's performance.

Avistar reported a net loss of US$2.9 million, for the 12 months
ended Dec. 31, 2007.  For the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2006,
Avistar reported a net loss of US$8.1 million.  Included in
those net loss results were US$2.7 million and US$2.0 million of
employee stock compensation expense for 2007 and 2006,
respectively.

Revenue for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2007, was
US$1.9 million, compared to revenue of US$1.8 million for the
three months ended Sept. 30, 2007, and US$2.3 million for the
three months ended Dec. 31, 2006.    Income from settlement and
patent licensing was US$1.1 million for the three month period
ended Dec. 31, 2007, as well as for the three month periods
ended Sept. 30, 2007 and Dec. 31, 2006.

Avistar reported a net loss of US$3.7 million for the three
months ended Dec. 31, 2007.  Avistar reported a net loss of
US$4.1 million for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2007, and a
net loss of  US$3.2 million for the three months ended Dec. 31,
2006.  The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2007 reflects,
among other things, US$700,000 of employee stock compensation
expense.  Net loss for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2007
included US$700,000 of stock compensation expense, and net loss
for the three months ended  Dec. 31, 2006, included US$0.5
million of stock compensation expense.

As of Dec. 31, 2007, Avistar had cash and cash equivalents of
US$4.9 million.

"The velocity of change at Avistar is significant," said Simon
Moss, who became Chief Executive Officer of Avistar on Jan. 1,
2008.  "A new management team is in place to build off of the
positive developments of 2007.  The company has nearly completed
a significant organizational and financial restructuring and re-
focus -- the benefits of which we expect to realize in 2008.
There are risks in such a significant turn-around, but we are
bullish on the company's prospects for 2008.  Consistent with
our earlier projections, Avistar generated a slight adjusted
EBITDA profit for 2007, on a combined revenue plus income from
settlement and patent licensing activities growth rate of over
60% versus 2006.  This was the third year that we've
accomplished year-over-year growth of greater than 50% in this
combined metric.  And this is the first time the company has
been adjusted EBITDA-positive since its founding, marking a
tremendous milestone for the company, especially when viewed
against an adjusted EBITDA loss of greater than US$6 million in
2006."

"In the last four months, we've reduced corporate costs while
investing heavily in our go-to-market strategy, which
supplements our direct sales and patent licensing activities
with a reseller channel, a hosted product offering and an
expanded focus on technology licensing.  We have also increased
our research and development capacity through our new agreement
with Worksoft Creative Software Tech., Ltd. in China.  Seven
additional patents were allowed by the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO) and are in the issuance process, which will
supplement our rich portfolio of intellectual property."  Noting
that Wainhouse Research predicts that the unified communications
(UC) industry will reach US$16.5 billion in annual sales by
2012, Mr. Moss said that Avistar plans to license its technology
and intellectual property to other vendors in order to
accelerate growth, allow rapid development of industry
standards, and foster the development of new applications.

Mr. Moss continued, "All of these vectors influenced the recent
financing that we completed on Jan. 4, 2008, with Leucadia
National and company insiders, including a majority of the
Board.  This cash infusion, combined with the renewal of our
line of credit with a major financial institution, equips us to
execute our 2008 growth plan.  Although we expect our quarterly
revenue to continue to be lumpy, we expect profitable growth in
2008."

Mr. Moss cited a number of milestones that the company achieved
recently:


   -- Earlier this month, Avistar concluded a financing round of
      US$7 million of convertible debt, led by a US$4 million
      investment from Leucadia National Corporation (NYSE:LUK).
      Five of Avistar's seven directors were among the other
      investors who contributed US$3 million of the total.
      Raising working capital to fund implementation of its new
      "go-to-market" strategies is a central element of
      Avistar's turnaround strategy, as described by the company
      in a press release dated Nov. 8, 2007.

   -- The company announced this month that it had received
      notification from the USPTO of seven new patent allowances
      in the areas of real-time communications over wide area
      networks.  The patents specifically relate to technology
      for video communications, voice over Internet protocol and
      instant messaging.

   -- In December 2007, the company announced a 2,000 seat
      order, representing its largest customer expansion to
      date.  Avistar additionally announced on Jan. 17, 2008,
      that it had added Colgate-Palmolive as a new Fortune 100
      client.

   -- Earlier last year, Ocean Tomo, LLC, a leading appraisal
      and services firm with specialized expertise in valuing
      patents, provided Avistar with an analysis indicating
      that, subject to certain assumptions, the potential net
      present value of monetizing Avistar's intellectual
      property was between US$350 million and US$500 million.

   -- In November and December of 2007, Avistar was notified by
      the Staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market that Avistar was not
      in compliance with the continued listing standards of the
      NASDAQ Capital Market and is subject to de-listing.  An
      appeal hearing will be conducted on Jan. 24, 2008, with
      NASDAQ's Listing Qualification Panel to determine whether
      the company is allowed an additional period of time in
      which to re-establish listing compliance.

"So, 2007 was a decent year, though quarterly 'lumpiness'
remains a challenge.  For 2008, the components of our turnaround
are in place; our IP is a strong and expanding asset, the firm
is now better capitalized, the new leadership team brings proven
success in early-stage technology companies, and we are
addressing a market that offers great opportunity, the tough
reorganization is largely completed, and we are aggressively
focused on the challenges ahead."

                            *********

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.
