PATHEON INC: Undertakes Series of Events on Restructuring Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Patheon Inc. completed the sale of its York Mills facility
located in Toronto, Canada, for US$12.3 million effective
April 15, 2008.

The agreement to sell the facility was entered into on Dec. 31,
2007 as part of Patheon's global network restructuring plan.  
Patheon is currently in the process of transferring all
commercial production and development services undertaken at its
York Mills facility to, primarily, its Whitby facility, with a
smaller portion of activity being transferred to the company's
Mississauga and Cincinnati facilities.  This is primarily
intended to improve capacity utilization and profitability at
the continuing Canadian sites.

Patheon is de-commissioning the York Mills facility and has
leased back the facility for up to two years in order to
facilitate this process.

"We are pleased that we have completed another step in our
global restructuring plan and are now focused on consolidating
our resources at Whitby and improving our productivity in our
Canadian Operations," Wes Wheeler, chief executive officer,
said.

On Feb. 19, 2008, Patheon Inc. reported changes in the roles of
several of the company's senior executives.

Nick DiPietro has now assumed the role as executive vice-
president, corporate development and has relinquished his
responsibilities as president and chief operating officer of
Patheon.  Clive Bennett, former President has assumed the role
of chief technical officer, reporting to Wes Wheeler shief
executive officer.  Steve Liberty is appointed senior vice-
president, operations, Canada and USA.  These posts were
effected March 1, 2008.

                      About Patheon Inc.

Headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, Patheon Inc. (TSX: PTI)
-- http://www.patheon.com/-- provides drug development and   
manufacturing services to the international pharmaceutical
companies located primarily in North America, France, Italy, the
United Kingdom and Japan.  It produces both prescription and
over-the-counter drugs for its clients.  Patheon provides
manufacturing services for a range of products in many dosage
forms and packaging, such as compressed tablets, hard-shell
capsules, liquids and powders filled in ampoules, vials, bottles
or pre-filled syringes. The pharmaceutical development services
provided by Patheon include dosage form development services,
scale-up and technology transfer services, and manufacturing of
pilot batches of drugs.


PATHEON INC: Moody's Holds B2 Rating; Changes Outlook to Neg.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the B2 Corporate Family
Rating of Patheon Inc. and changed the ratings outlook to
negative from stable.  Moody's also revised the rating on the
US$75 million secured asset based revolver to Ba3 from B1 in
accordance with Moody's Asset-Based Loan Rating Methodology and
reflecting Moody's belief that the instrument would have very
good recovery in a distressed scenario.  The B1 rating on the
US$150 million senior secured term loan B remains unchanged.

The negative outlook reflects risks associated with the
company's continued restructuring program and Moody's
uncertainty regarding the company's ability to improve
profitability and sustain meaningful free cash flow.  If the
company does not begin to demonstrate meaningful improvement in
operating cash flow generation by late 2008, there could be
further pressure on the ratings.

The B2 Corporate Family Rating is constrained by the weak
operating performance that Patheon has demonstrated over the
last several years, partly due to the underperformance of three
Puerto Rican facilities acquired in 2005.  The company continues
to make efforts to restructure the business, diversify its
revenue base and improve profitability.  The ratings are also
constrained by the risks inherent in the business, including
loss of revenues due to generic competition, product approval
delays and client repatriation of products.

The ratings are supported by the company's leading market
position in the pharmaceutical contract manufacturing arena
which has high barriers to entry and longer-term favorable
industry fundamentals.  The ratings are also supported by the
company's relatively modest financial leverage and good near-
term liquidity and interest coverage.

Affirmed:

-- Corporate Family Rating, B2

-- Probability of Default Rating, B2

Instrument Ratings Revised:

-- US$75 million Senior Secured Asset Based Revolver, to Ba3
    (LGD3, 32%) from B1, (LGD3, 37%)

-- US$150 million Senior Secured Term Loan B, to B1 (LGD3, 34%)
    from B1 (LGD3, 37%)

The ratings outlook was changed to negative from stable.

PROSIEBENSAT.1 MEDIA: Posts EUR88.5 Mln Group EBITDA for 1Q 2008
----------------------------------------------------------------
ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG released its preliminary figures for the
first quarter of fiscal 2008.

The ProSiebenSat.1 Group increased its revenues by 45.5% to
EUR729.1 million and recurring EBITDA by 7.8% to EUR88.5 million
due to the first time consolidation of SBS Broadcasting Group.

On a pro-forma basis for the combined Group, revenues decreased
by 2.0% or EUR14.9 million to EUR729.1 million in first quarter
2008 versus first quarter 2007, recurring EBITDA declined by
25.1% to EUR88.5 million.

Pro-forma results in first quarter 2008 have been impacted
primarily by the segment Free TV German speaking region that saw
a reduction in external revenues of 4.9% to EUR417.1 million.
Recurring EBITDA of the segment decreased accordingly by 18.4%
to EUR57.6 million.  The decrease in revenues and earnings is
due to uncertainties linked to the implementation of the new
advertising sales model introduced at the end of 2007 as a
consequence of proceedings of the German Federal Cartel Office
and to a time-lag effect of the weak ratings of Sat.1 in 2007.

International TV advertising markets of the former SBS countries
again showed stronger dynamics than Germany.  External revenues
of the Groups segment Free TV International grew by 1.3% and
reached EUR176.0 million (pro forma first quarter 2007:
EUR173.7 million). Recurring EBITDA showed a decrease of 28.6%
to EUR27.5 million partly due to start-up costs for new TV
channels in Sweden (Kanal 9) and Norway (FEM).

External revenues in the Diversification segment rose 3.1% to
EUR135.9 million (pro forma combined).  Recurring EBITDA
decreased by EUR5.1 million to EUR4.0 million due to lower call
TV revenues of 9Live in Germany and to start-up costs for new
services in Pay TV and Video-on-Demand as well as for the
internationalization of 9Live.

The Group has taken decisive accelerated steps in the execution
of its strategy by implementing an action plan.  The advertising
sales model for the German market has been adjusted to increase
its competitiveness.  The Company is confident that it will
regain market share with the adjusted model in second half 2008.   
The Group has also decided to reorganize the German advertising
sales organization to more optimally address the German market
following the changes in the advertising sales model, as well as
to better position the business for the challenges and
opportunities of digitization.

Due to the issues related to the advertising sales model in
Germany, which will also affect second quarter 2008, the Group
has decided to implement a cost savings plan of EUR70 million in
2008 versus its original budget for 2008.  Savings will come
from a reduction of Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
and better use of the Groups existing programming inventory.  
The Group continues to actively invest in new programming
developments.

In this regard, the Group has devoted particular attention to
Sat.1 over recent months. The station has been able to increase
its average audience to 11.0% YTD 2008 vs. 10.5% in the same
time period in 2007 (14-49).

Finally, the Group has initiated the first steps in the
digitization of ProSiebenSat.1 Production by outsourcing its IT
services to IBM.

EIRLES TWO: Moody's May Further Cut Low-B Ratings After Review
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded three swaps and three
classes of notes issued by Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch -N-
Tsar and Eirles Two Limited.  All of the tranches remain on
review for downgrade.  The three classes of notes are repacks of
the three classes of swaps.  These rating actions are a response
to credit deterioration in the underlying portfolio. The
transactions are synthetic managed CDOs referencing RMBS and ABS
CDOs, containing 20% RMBS and 18% ABS CDOs of the 2004, 2005,
and 2006 vintages.

Moody's announced on Feb. 04, 2008 that it is revising its
expected loss assumptions which are used for surveillance of
ratings of ABS CDOs holding subprime RMBS, specifically of the
2006 vintage. Moody's stated that for purposes of monitoring its
ratings of ABS CDOs with exposure to 2006 subprime RMBS, it will
rely on certain projections of the lifetime average cumulative
losses for 2006's quarterly vintages of RMBS set forth in a
recent Moody's Special Report, "Moody's Updates Loss Projections
for 2006 Subprime Loans." This report illustrates average loss
results for the 2006 quarterly vintages under five distinct loss
projection scenarios. Moody's explained that it will utilise the
range of loss projections set forth in Scenarios 2 and 3 based
on deal performance and quarterly vintage to modify its prior
assumptions of the expected loss inputs when monitoring ABS CDO
ratings.

Moody's will continue to monitor all deals with exposure to US
subprime RMBS and ABS CDOs, and will take further actions in
respect of all CDOs placed under review for downgrade once the
extent of actual downgrades to US RMBS and ABS CDO vintages
becomes known.

These rating actions are:

Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch - N-Tsar:

   (1) US$105,000,000 Class C Swap due 2019

    -- Current Rating: A1, on review for downgrade

LUNAR FUNDING: Moody's Junks Rating on EUR11 Mln Series 17 Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded and left on review for
further downgrade classes of notes issued by Marc CDO I Plc and
Lunar Funding V Plc.  The underlyings of these CDO transactions
are predominantly US subprime RMBS, however, the portfolio also
contains ABS CDOs and CDOs of leveraged loans.  The subprime
RMBS are of the vintages 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Moody's announced on Feb. 04, 2008 that it is revising its
expected loss assumptions which are used for surveillance of
ratings of ABS CDOs holding subprime RMBS, specifically of the
2006 vintage.  Moody's stated that for purposes of monitoring

TITAN EUROPE: S&P Cuts Rating on Class J Notes to B-
----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services removed from CreditWatch with
negative implications and lowered its ratings on the class J
notes issued by Titan Europe 2006-2 PLC.  At the same time, it
affirmed its ratings on the remaining notes in the transaction.
  
The class J notes were initially placed on CreditWatch negative
on Jan. 10, 2008.
  
This rating actions are due to our concerns regarding the term
risk for the Labrador Portfolio Loan (13.89% of the mortgage
loan pool).  This loan has a current reported debt-service
coverage ratio below 1.00x and on the January 2008 interest
payment date the sponsor had to inject equity to avoid
loan default.  The drop in rental income was caused by cost
increases and by vacancy increases in the Lueneberg and Winsen
sub-portfolios.
  
The planned refurbishment of the assets has still not been
completed and there are ongoing discussions regarding whether to
continue. However, the assets are in need of extensive
refurbishment to achieve higher occupancy rates. The DSCR
has been close to the default covenant throughout 2007. Given
the continuing underperformance of this loan compared with the
initial assumptions, Standard & Poor's adjusted the net
operating income to EUR2.57 million per year to
reflect a higher structural vacancy.  Based on Standard & Poor's
NOI, the DSCR would be below 1.00x for the entire loan term,
increasing the uncertainty of a term default for this loan.
  
In our opinion, if this loan defaults, there is likely to be a
shortfall in the timely payment of interest on the class J notes
as not all associated amounts may be drawable under the
liquidity facility.  If this occurs, the rating on this class
would be further lowered to 'D'.
  
To address our concerns, we have removed from CreditWatch
negative and lowered our rating on the class J notes to 'B-'. We
have affirmed our ratings on the remaining classes of notes.
  
The transaction, which was arranged by Credit Suisse
International, closed on May 31, 2006.  The EUR862.2 million
commercial mortgage-backed floating-rate notes issued at closing
were backed by a pool of seven commercial real estate loans
originated by CSI.  The balance has now reduced to EUR672.99
million, with three loans prepaying at the January 2008 interest
payment date.

ALITALIA SPA: Italy Has Until May 4 to Explain Loan, EC Rules
-------------------------------------------------------------
The European Commission gave the Italian government until
May 4, 2008, to reply on concerns whether its planned EUR300-
million loan to Alitalia S.p.A. breaks the European Union rule
on state aid, Matthew Newman writes for Bloomberg News.

As reported in the TCR-Europe on April 24, 2008, the Commission
said it would review the financing to Alitalia.  Under EU's "one
time, last time" principle, a company beneficiary of a state aid
cannot receive additional rescue or restructuring funding within
10 years since its accepted financial assistance.  Alitalia
cannot receive further aid until 2011, since it took fiscal
assistance in 2001.

According to Bloomberg News, Italy needs to prove that the loan
was offered on commercial terms to gain approval from the
Commission.  Alitalia may face months-long probe over the
legality of the loan, which may further cramp Italy's efforts to
sell its 49.9% stake in the national carrier.

As reported in the TCR-Europe on April 25, 2008, Ryanair Plc
said it will file a suit at the European Commission against the
EUR300-million bridging loan granted to Alitalia.

Italy said it would respond to the Commission's query within the
deadline, Bloomberg News relates.

                         About Alitalia

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

Despite a EUR1.4 billion state-backed restructuring in 1997,
Alitalia posted net losses of EUR256 million and EUR907 million
in 2000 and 2001 respectively.  Alitalia posted EUR93 million in
net profits in 2002 after a EUR1.4 billion capital injection.
The carrier booked annual net losses of EUR520 million in 2003,
EUR813 million in 2004, EUR168 million in 2005, and
EUR625.6 million in 2006.

Italian Finance Minister Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa had said that if
the sale to Air France fails, Alitalia may seek protection from
creditors and the government would appoint a special
commissioner to initiate bankruptcy proceedings.


FIAT SPA: Earns EUR427 Million in First Quarter of 2008
-------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of Fiat S.p.A. met in Turin under the
chairmanship of Luca Cordero di Montezemolo to approve the
Group’s first quarter 2008 results.

Group revenues rose nearly 10% to EUR15 billion, with all
businesses contributing to the increase, despite the uneven
trading conditions in some key regions:

   -- Continued success of new and existing models enabled Fiat
      Group Automobiles to achieve growth, with a total of
      563,600 units delivered during the quarter (+4.1% over
      first quarter 2007).  Although overall demand in Western
      Europe was down, FGA reported notable year-over-year
      increases in Germany (+15%) and France (+27%), in addition
      to experiencing a record quarter in Brazil (+35%).

   -- Agricultural and Construction Equipment (CNH) revenues
      were up 10.1% (25.9% in US dollar terms). The Sector’s
      global presence enabled it to capitalise on growth
      opportunities in international markets, offsetting       
      declines in Construction Equipment in North America.

   -- Trucks and Commercial Vehicles (Iveco) had record first
      quarter revenues, with the number of vehicles delivered up
      21% over prior year. 2007 new product launches ensured
      that the Sector could meet increased demand in the heavy
      vehicle range.

Trading profit increased 28.7% to EUR766 million, with gains in
all industrial businesses:

   -- FGA contributed trading profit of EUR193 million (2.8% of
      revenues), slightly higher than 2007 reported levels but
      up EUR81 million or 53% excluding one-off items.

   -- CNH reported an increase of EUR9 million to EUR198 million       
      (up 19.4% in US dollar terms). Margins were down 0.3% to       
      6.7% as a result of industrial inefficiencies caused by
      the rapid increase in demand for agricultural products.

   -- Iveco posted another record first quarter trading profit,       
      up 48% year-over-year to EUR222 million, representing a
      significant improvement in trading margin to 7.6% (from 6%       
      for first quarter 2007).

Strategic developments during the quarter include three joint
ventures announced by Magneti Marelli in India and the
acquisition of a manufacturing plant by FPT Powertrain
Technologies in Brazil.

At the AGM held on March 31, 2008, shareholders approved an
aggregate 2007 dividend of EUR523 million and renewed
authorization for the Group’s share buy-back program.

The Group closed the quarter with Net Industrial Debt of EUR1.1
billion, driven by a seasonal increase in working capital of
EUR1.3 billion, acquisitions of EUR0.1 billion and EUR0.2
billion in share repurchases.  Liquidity remains strong at
EUR4.8 billion.

All 2008 Group targets are confirmed, including Net Industrial
Cash of EUR1.5 billion at year end (excluding the impact of
additional share buybacks).

The Group

Group revenues for first quarter 2008 totaled EUR15 billion, up
9.9% over the same period in 2007, with all industrial
businesses contributing to the increase.

Trading profit of EUR766 million (5.1% of revenues) rose nearly
29 % over the EUR595 million reported for first quarter 2007
(4.4% of revenues).

Operating profit came in at EUR783 million for the quarter, and
included net unusual income of EUR17 million, primarily arising
from the release of provisions for risks and restructuring costs
which are no longer required.

Net financial expense for the quarter totaled EUR210 million and
included a EUR63 million charge for the marking to market of two
stock-option related equity swaps.  The equivalent item yielded
a EUR91 million income inclusion in first quarter 2007, thus
yielding a year-over-year difference of EUR154 million. The
aggregate fair value for these equity swaps continues to be
positive at quarter end. Excluding the impact of the equity
swaps, net financial expense for the quarter was flat compared
with first quarter 2007.

Profit before taxes totaled EUR636 million, an increase of
EUR62 million over first quarter 2007.  Higher operating profit
(+EUR188 million) and an increase in investment income (+EUR27
million) more than offset higher net financial expense.

Income taxes amounted to EUR209 million (EUR198 million in first
quarter 2007), representing an effective tax rate of 32.9%
(34.5% in first quarter 2007).

Net profit (before minority interests) for first quarter 2008
totaled EUR427 million, compared to EUR376 million for the same
period in 2007.

Net industrial Debt rose by EUR1.5 billion, mainly due to
seasonal working capital absorption (EUR1.3 billion), share buy-
backs of EUR0.2 billion, acquisitions of EUR 0.1 billion and the
equity swap impact of EUR63 million. Liquidity of EUR4.8 billion
remained strong and in line with Group guidelines.

MICRON TECH: Inks New DRAM Joint Venture with Nanya Technology
--------------------------------------------------------------
Micron Technology, Inc. and Nanya Technology Corporation said
last week that they have signed an agreement to create MeiYa
Technology Corporation, a new DRAM joint venture.

The partnership will leverage both Micron and Nanya’s
manufacturing technology, strengths and experience.  As part of
the joint venture, a 200 millimeter (mm) Nanya manufacturing
facility in Taiwan will be upgraded to industry-leading 300mm
technology starting this year, with the facility coming online
for production in 2009.  In addition to MeiYa, the parties will
jointly develop and share future technology.

Both parent companies will own 50 percent of the joint venture
initially, and each will contribute US$550 million in cash by
the end of 2009.  The transaction is subject to customary
closing conditions, including regulatory approval in Taiwan, and
is expected to close within the next few months.

“This partnership brings greater scale and efficiency to the
DRAM manufacturing operations of both parent companies, and
Micron is pleased to officially enter into this joint venture
with Nanya,” said Mark Durcan, Micron’s President and Chief
Operating Officer.

“We are sure that MeiYa will demonstrate the synergistic
combinations of Nanya and Micron’s strength in the DRAM
industry,” said Dr. Jih Lien, Nanya’s President.  “Nanya has a
very high expectation for this new entity.”

MICRON TECH: Moody's Holds Ba3 Corporate Family Rating
------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Micron Technology, Inc.'s Ba3
corporate family rating and revised the outlook to negative from
stable.  Moody's also assigned a speculative grade liquidity
rating of SGL-2.

The negative rating outlook reflects expectations for continued
challenging conditions in Micron's core DRAM and NAND flash
memory markets.  Over the past year, the memory markets have
been hampered by excess capacity, lower unit demand and
continued sharp ASP (average selling price) erosion.  For most
of fiscal 2007 the company was unable to lower unit production
costs quickly enough to offset sharp ASP degradation given the
difficult DRAM pricing environment.

The negative outlook also reflects the company's weakened
financial flexibility given Micron's capital intensive business
model in which large capital expenditures to transition its
wafer fabs to 300mm capacity have outpaced internally funded
cash flow generation, which has resulted in significant negative
free cash flow over the past 18 months.  Though Micron has
flexibility to reduce certain capex requirements, our
expectation is for lower cash balances over the near-term given
the large capital expenditures planned for fiscal 2008, which
are anticipated to be in excess of internal cash flow from
operations.

Additionally, Moody's believes Micron will be challenged to
expand its leading edge technology in a timely manner beyond
consumer-based end markets, which depend, in large part, on
consumer discretionary spending, an area that has experienced a
marked slowdown in recent months.

Maintenance of the Ba3 rating is predicated on prudent cash
management and improvement in credit protection measures and
margins as a result of continued cost reductions and increased
operating efficiencies relative to ASP pressures.  Moody's notes
the rating would likely experience downward pressure near-term
if challenging industry conditions do not abate and/or poor
execution causes Micron to experience further operating margin
degradation and sustained levels of negative free cash flow,
resulting in further weakening of its liquidity position or
increased use of debt.

The SGL-2 rating reflects the company's good liquidity.  
However, Micron's liquidity position could become an area of
concern given the company's declining cash balances, weakening
gross cash flow and expectations of continued negative free cash
flow generation.  As of February 2008, the company had
approximately US$1.8 billion in cash and short-term investments.  
This is down from US$2.9 billion of cash in May 2007, which was
artificially boosted by proceeds from a US$1.3 billion
convertible note issue to help fund the large capex requirement.
Micron will need to service roughly US$528 million of debt
maturities over the next year, presumably with balance sheet
cash since we do not anticipate free cash flow to be positive
over this period.  The Ba3 rating incorporates Moody's
expectations that Micron will maintain at least US$1.2 billion
of balance sheet liquidity and flat to lower debt levels over
the near to intermediate term.

For the quarter ended Feb. 28, 2008, Micron's revenues declined
5% to US$1.36 billion from US$1.43 billion in the comparable
2007 period while gross margins declined to -3.2% from 25% over
the same time period, which can be attributed to sharp ASP
decline in its core memory markets (i.e., 60% drop in DRAM and
70% drop in NAND), the company's inability to reduce costs at a
faster pace than market price erosion and lack of a material
increase in DRAM production volumes to offset sharp ASP
declines.  However, Micron's ongoing transition of its DRAM
production using 68-nanometer process technology and 50-
nanometer NAND process technology could provide a base off of
which cost reductions and higher volumes can be realized to
offset the steep price declines across the memory market.

These ratings and assessments were affirmed:

   -- Corporate Family Rating -- Ba3
   -- Probability of Default Rating -- Ba3
   -- Senior Unsecured Shelf Registration -- (P)B1 (LGD-5, 71%)
   -- Subordinated Shelf Registration -- (P)B2 (LGD-6, 97%)

This rating was assigned:

   -- Speculative Grade Liquidity -- SGL-2
   -- The outlook is negative.

Micron Technology, Inc., headquartered in Boise, Idaho, is a
manufacturer of DRAM, NAND flash memory, CMOS image sensors, and
semiconductor components.  Revenues and EBITDA (Moody's
adjusted) for the twelve months ended Feb. 28, 2008 were
approximately US$5.6 billion and US$1.1 billion, respectively.

MILLICOM INTERNATIONAL: Earns US$158.1 Mln for 1st Quarter 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------
Millicom International Cellular S.A. posted US$158.1 million in
net income on US$800.7 million in net revenues for the
first quarter 2008, compared to US$345.2 million in net income
on US$562.7 million in net revenues for the same period in 2007.

As of March 31, 2008, Millicom had US$4.76 billion in total
assets, US$3.03 billion in total liabilities, resulting to
US$1.73 billion in total shareholders equity.  The company's
March 31 balance sheet showed a working capital deficit with
US$1.8 million in total current assets and US$2 million in total
current liabilities.
                       
"Millicom recorded the second best quarter in its history in
terms of net subscriber additions, adding 2.8 million in the
quarter, following the exceptional final quarter of 2007," Marc
Beuls, CEO of Millicom, said.  "We are also particularly pleased
with the first quarter year-on-year revenue growth of 42%, which
is higher than the 41% growth in the previous quarter, and with
the net profit of $158 million for the quarter, reflecting a
very strong margin of 20%."

"Given that first quarter has historically been the weakest
quarter of the year, owing to the seasonality of our business,
our results show that we have achieved real traction across our
markets as a result of sustained and heavy investment in sales
and marketing, distribution and our networks in the last few
years.  It is encouraging to see the EBITDA margin improve to
42% from 40% in the previous quarter given this high level of
investment.  In 2008 it is our intention to increase capex still
further and we are forecasting capex in excess of one billion
U.S. dollars for the year, which underlines our belief that we
can continue to grow both our subscriber base and market share
as the penetration rates rise across all our markets.

"Millicom's strategy continues to be to build a mass market pre-
paid business in all 16 of its markets and it is important to
understand, as we have often mentioned, that in order to drive
penetration and subscriber growth we need to target customers
with less disposable income.  In first quarter we delivered
higher than expected subscriber growth, a record for a first
quarter, by aggressively targeting these customers.  Firstly,
the percentage of net new subscriber additions from Africa and
Asia has risen from 39% in first quarter 2007 to 45% in first
quarter 2008.  Secondly, in Latin America as we continue to
drive mobile voice penetration levels beyond the current levels,
we need to increasingly target those customers with limited
disposable incomes.  Our low cost pre-paid business model is
ideally suited to attracting a high volume of this mass market
segment.

“We will continue to improve affordability for our customers
which will result in a gradual decline in ARPUs and will sustain
our market leading rates of revenue growth.  This will also help
improve our EBITDA margin as we achieve economies of scale from
higher volumes.”

“The prospects for the business continue to be excellent.”

Central European Media Enterprises Ltd., a Bermuda-based company
is a TV broadcasting company with leading networks in six
Central and Eastern European countries.  Launched in 1994, CME
and its partners now operate 16 channels in six countries,
including TV Nova, Nova Cinema and Galaxie Sport in the Czech
Republic; PRO TV, PRO Cinema, Pro International, Sport.ro, MTV
and Acasa in Romania; Nova TV in Croatia, TV Markiza in the
Slovak Republic; POP TV and Kanal A in Slovenia; and Studio 1+1,
Kino and Citi in Ukraine.  For the year ending on 31 December
2007, CME generated segment revenues of US$840 million and
segment EBITDA of US$320 million.


CENTRAL EUROPEAN: S&P Rates US$475MM Senior Convertible Notes BB
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB' debt rating
to the US$475 million senior secured convertible notes due 2013
issued by Bermuda-based emerging markets TV broadcaster, Central
European Media Enterprises Ltd. in March 2008.  The long-term
corporate credit rating was affirmed at 'BB'.  The outlook is
stable.
     
At the same time, S&P raised the debt rating on both Central
European Media's EUR245 million and EUR150 million floating-rate
notes due, respectively, in 2012 and 2014 to 'BB' from the
previous 'BB-', in line with the corporate credit rating,
following a review of the collateral and the evolution of
structural subordination aspects within the group's capital
structure.
     
With fully adjusted total debt to EBITDA at about 2.3x at the
end of December 2007, the ratings on Central European Media
remain constrained by the group's acquisition-led financial
policy and by its high concentration of profitability in a
single TV channel in the Czech Republic and in its Romanian TV
channels.  The ratings are also constrained by the cyclical
nature of the TV advertising markets in which the group operates
and the potential for regulatory and political interference.
     
These factors are mitigated to a significant degree by Central
European Media's market-leading positions in four of the six
Eastern European countries in which it is present, good short-
term revenue visibility, and its position as a producer of
established, locally produced content.  In addition, the rating
continues to reflect good rates of growth in the group's TV
advertising markets and increasing equity control of operations
in all markets.  This is supported by the company's recently
announced intention to buy out its partners' 30% equity
interests in Ukrainian broadcaster Studio 1+1 for US$219.6
million, while having the right to acquire the remaining 10%
through a put and call arrangement.
     
"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that the level of
operating maturity of CME's core TV broadcasting assets will
continue to translate into EBITDA growth and healthy operating
cash generation," said S&P's credit analyst Manuela Gabetta.  To
maintain the 'BB' rating, S&P expects that the group will use an
adequate mixture of debt and equity to support its expansion
into more risky markets.
     
"We also expect that CME will moderate distributions to
shareholders for as long as it remains on an acquisitive path,"
said Ms. Gabetta.  The ratio of fully adjusted total debt to
EBITDA is expected to strengthen on back on cash flow generation
and remain comfortably below 4x on an ongoing basis.
     
The ratings would come under immediate pressure if any
acquisition target takes financial ratios outside the stated
thresholds for a protracted period, or if the group's largest TV
stations underperform.

Rating upside is currently restricted by Central European Media
Enterprises Ltd.'s continuing investments in volatile markets
such as Ukraine.

AK BARS: Fitch Upgrades Ratings to BB with Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded AK BARS Bank's Long-term Issuer
Default rating to 'BB' from 'BB-' (BB minus) and National Long-
term rating to 'AA-(AA minus)(rus)' from 'A+(rus)'. The Outlooks
on the LT IDR and National Long-term rating remain Stable. At
the same time Fitch has affirmed the bank's other ratings at
Short-term IDR 'B', Support '3' and Individual 'D'.

The upgrades follow the Republic of Tatarstan's upgrade to Long-
term 'BBB-'/Stable Outlook from 'BB+', and therefore the higher
ability of RT to provide support to Ak Bars, in case of need.  
In Fitch's opinion, RT would have a strong propensity to support
Ak Bars in the light of the government's control of the bank,
the long-standing close relationship between the government and
Ak Bars, the servicing by Ak Bars of RT accounts, the bank's
extensive retail franchise in the republic (1.4 million
individual depositors) and its overall importance to RT's
banking system.

However, the lack of transparency over RT's control of the
bank's shares makes it difficult for Fitch to fully assess the
relationship between the RT government and Ak Bars.  Uncertainty
also remains as to RT's ability to make sufficient support
available in a timely manner, particularly in the light of
certain budget constraints.  As a result, Fitch maintains a two-
notch differential between the Long-term rating of RT and the LT
IDR of Ak Bars.

Further movements in Ak Bars' Long-term IDR and National Long-
term rating are likely to be driven by changes in RT's Long-term
rating.  Greater transparency of RT's ownership and control of
Ak Bars could also be positive for the bank's Long-term IDR,
although this is not anticipated at present.

Ak Bars was founded by the Tatarstan government in 1993.  It is
the largest bank in the republic by assets and was among the 20
largest banks in Russia at end-2007.  The RT indirectly controls
a large majority of the bank's shares.  Ak Bars is diversifying
its franchise into the retail market and rapidly expanding its
loan portfolio outside the republic.

MAGNITOGORSK IRON: Shareholders Okay Annual Report & Dividend
-------------------------------------------------------------
OAO Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works disclosed that its
shareholders have approved all the resolutions proposed at its
Annual General Meeting.

This included the approval of the annual report, annual
accounting statements and dividend payments.  The dividend
payment for 12 months of 2007 is set at EUR0.502 per ordinary
share.

The shareholders also approved the Board of Directors.

Deloitte & Touche CIS were approved as auditors.

"2007 has been a landmark year in MMK’s development," Victor
Rashnikov, Chairman of MMK, commented.  "We are very proud to
have become a publicly listed company and to have welcomed a
new, expanded base of high quality international and domestic
investors.  Overall, in terms of our financial and operational
performance, this has been a very successful year for MMK.

"Through our transaction with Belon and the development of
Prioskol iron ore deposit, we have taken a major strategic step
forward towards raw material security, Mr. Rashnikov adds.  
"Furthermore, we are continuing with our strategy of expanding
internationally, which we have advanced through our partnership
in Turkey.  Given the positive outlook both for steel prices and
for demand, we expect further strong progress in 2008."

                     About Magnitogorsk Iron

Headquartered in Magnitogorsk, Russia, OAO Magnitogorsk Iron and
Steel Works -- http://www.mmk.ru/-- manufactures steel and
accounts for about 20% of all steel products sold on the
domestic market.  MMK is a major fully integrated steel making
complex encompassing all the required processes, from
preparation of iron ore materials to high added value processing
of steel.  About half of the Company's output is exported
worldwide.


MAGNITOGORSK IRON: Fitch Affirms Ratings at 'BB'; Outlook Stable
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works'
Long-term Issuer Default and senior unsecured ratings at 'BB'.  
The Outlook for the Long-term IDR is Stable.

MMK's ratings continue to be supported by its strong operational
profile, including its scale as the largest flat products
producer in Russia, low operating costs and high plant
productivity due to significant modernization in recent years.  
The ratings also reflect MMK's continuing high profitability
(fiscal year ending 2007 EBITDAR margin of 29%) - albeit lower
in percentage terms than peers such as NLMK ('BB+'/'B'/Stable)
and Evraz ('BB'/'B'/Stable) - and a conservative capital
structure with average gross leverage over the past four years
of 0.6x. Fitch believes that MMK management remain committed to
a conservative financial profile in coming periods including
maintenance of gross debt/EBITDAR below 1.5x throughout the
steel price cycle.  The agency also believes that MMK will
continue to focus on organic growth and abstain from large scale
M&A activity.  Over the next 12-18 months, Fitch believes that
the demand and price environment within Russia for steel
producers should also remain supportive.

MMK's ratings continue to be constrained by its limited raw
material self-sufficiency (presently only 12% self-sufficient in
its iron ore requirements), which, given significant yoy
increases in market prices of iron ore and coking coal, may see
credit metrics weaken over 2008-09.  MMK is also part way
through a significant capex program, which, based on Fitch
estimates, will see MMK group capex average approximately
US$2.3-2.5bn per annum over the next two years as the company
commissions two new rolling facilities.  Free cash flow is
expected to be negative during this period.

Fitch recognizes the provisions made by MMK over the past 12
months to improve its raw material supply position in the
future; notably the purchase of a 41% interest in coal producer
Belon.  By 2010, Fitch estimates that output from Belon will
enable MMK to meet around half of its coking coal requirements
from internal sources, with iron ore self-sufficiency increasing
to around 22% from a variety of sources.

The Stable Outlook reflects Fitch's view that MMK's low-
operating cost position and operational efficiency will enable
the company to maintain operating margins and a capital
structure commensurate with the rating category.

Based in Magnitogorsk, MMK is a leading Russian steel producer
with 2007 output of 12.2 million tonnes of steel products.  In
fical year ending 2007, MMK generated revenues of US$8.2bn and
EBITDAR (adj) of US$2.3bn. The company focuses on the production
of flat-steel products for use in construction, pipe production
and machinery manufacture.

   (1) the recent acquisition was in line with the company
       strategy to enhance product mix with high value added               
       products and to strengthen its geographical diversity by        
       adding manufacturing presence in the North American        
       market.  Moody's also notes that this transaction is a
       transforming acquisition for TMK by its relative size and
       the significant increase in the geographical footprint
       that it brings to the company;

   (2) High growth in revenues and strong cash flow generating
       capability in recent years supported by a robust pricing        
       environment, strong demand from the main customers and
       substantially completed capex program aimed at increased
       capacity and efficiency, should help TMK to sustain its
       current rating and bring down the absolute level of debt.
       Moody expects the company to continue to maintain its
       moderate financial policies and its demonstrated
       disciplined approach to acquisitions with leverage not
       exceeding x2.0 times EBITDA after 2009. This target would
       likely require dividend constraint and a pause to further        
       acquisitions

The negative outlook for the rating reflects the integration and
control challenges for the geographically spread company and the
reliance on cash flow and a large 15 months bridge facility for
refinancing of maturing debt.

The rating could be downgraded if the company would not decrease
its leverage below x2.5 times EBITDA in the next 1.5 years or
would not be able to maintain a satisfactory liquidity position
in particular by arranging a refinancing or a take-out to the
bridge facility over the next few months.

In line with loss-given-default methodology, Moodys' upgraded of
the rating for the loan participation notes from B1 to Ba3 and
LGD assessment of LGD4 (64.57%) to LGD4 (51.67%). T he upgrade
is a result of substantial reduction in secured indebtedness of
TMK.  The secured indebtedness is secured by property,
equipment, fixed assets and revenue proceeds fell from 27% as of
June 2007 to 11% of the total loan portfolio at 11 April 2008.

Moody's last rating action was the change of rating outlook to
positive on Nov. 14, 2007.

TMK is Russia's largest and one of the world's leading
manufacturers of value-added steel pipe products for the oil &
gas industry.  In the first half of 2007, the company reported
US$2.03 billion in revenues, an increase of 28% and US$500
million in EBITDA leading to an improvement by 27% compared to
1H 2006.  Following an IPO in 2006 the company is 76.98% owned
by the founder, Mr. Pumpyanskiy

CALIK HOLDING: Fitch Downgrades IDR to B; Keeps Watch Negative
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded Calik Holding A.S.'s Long-term
foreign and local currency Issuer Default ratings to 'B' from
'B+'.  This follows the company's 75%-owned subsidiary Turkuvaz
Radyo ve Televizyon's US$1.1 billion acquisition of the media
group Sabah-ATV's assets, with US$750 million debt and
US$350 million equity financing.

Fitch has also downgraded Globus Capital Finance S.A.'s
US$200 million 8.5% notes, maturing in 2012, senior unsecured
rating to 'B'/'RR4' from 'B+'/'RR4'.  Globus used the note
proceeds to finance a loan to Calik.  The notes are guaranteed
by Calik and two of its subsidiaries.  Further, Calik's National
Long-term rating has been downgraded to 'BBB+(tur)' from 'A-
(tur)'.

Fitch has also downgraded Calik's subsidiary GAP Guneydogu
Tekstil A.S.'s National Long-term rating to 'A-(tur)' from
'A(tur)'.  All the above ratings remain on RWN.
Fitch notes that GAP carries a US$37.5 million murabaha
facility, limiting its ability to guarantee any group borrowing.

The downgrades reflect Fitch's concerns about the negative
direct and indirect financial impact of the Sabah-ATV
acquisition on Calik's financial profile.  Fitch believes the
potential execution and financial risks associated with this
large acquisition are considerable at this stage.  The ratings
remain on RWN pending more detailed discussions with management,
the receipt of the loan documentation, Calik's fiscal year 2007
consolidated financials as well as the completion of a
US$150 million cash equity injection into Turkuvaz.  Fitch
expects to resolve the RWN by end-June.

The Calik loan is reportedly non-recourse acquisition financing
credit, secured by Turkuvaz assets only, with no holding or
group company guarantees or collaterals.  Based on Fitch's
projections, the ability of Turkuvaz to service interest and
principal payments over the projection period rely on profitable
operations generating sufficient cash as well as the additional
shareholder support of US$150 million over the next two years to
cover any funding gap and working capital requirements.  Based
on the capex and high working capital required to revamp the
Sabah-ATV brand names, Fitch cautions that interest coverage
ratios will be tight in the initial two-to-three years of
operations.   The competitive nature of the media business in
Turkey and its lower operating margins (compared to global
competitors), plus the fact that Sabah-ATV has been under
Savings and Deposit Insurance Fund administration for the last
two years questions the likely cash generation ability of
Turkuvaz and hence its ability to service a high debt stock.  
Fitch notes that gross debt/EBITDA is expected to reach 8.3x at
fiscal year ending 200808 at the Turkuvaz level.  Calik directly
and indirectly owns 75% of Turkuvaz with the remainder held by
Lusail International Media Company.

Fitch continues to monitor Calik's planned expansion in the
electricity generation, petrochemicals, and oil and gas sectors.
It will also watch the funding structures and eventual financial
impact of such capital expenditures on the group results.


GLOBUS CAPITAL: Fitch Cuts US$200 Million Notes' Rating to B

CHROME FUNDING: Moody's Junks Ratings on Series 23-30 Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded seven classes of notes and
left on review for further downgrade one class issued by Chrome
Funding Ltd under Series 23 -- 30 (Green Bay).  The underlyings
of this CDO transaction are predominantly US subprime RMBS bonds
and in particular of the 2005 and 2006 vintages.

Moody's announced on Feb. 04, 2008 that it is revising its
expected loss assumptions which are used for surveillance of
ratings of ABS CDOs holding subprime RMBS, specifically of the
2006 vintage. Moody's stated that for purposes of monitoring its
ratings of ABS CDOs with exposure to 2006 subprime RMBS, it will
rely on certain projections of the lifetime average cumulative
losses for 2006's quarterly vintages of RMBS set forth in a
recent Moody's Special Report, "Moody's Updates Loss Projections
for 2006 Subprime Loans." This report illustrates average loss
results for the 2006 quarterly vintages under five distinct loss
projection scenarios. Moody's explained that it will utilise the
range of loss projections set forth in Scenarios 2 and 3 based
on deal performance and quarterly vintage to modify its prior
assumptions of the expected loss inputs when monitoring ABS CDO
ratings.

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 US RMBS vintages becomes known.

These rating actions are:

DIOMED HOLDINGS: Can Use Cash Collateral on Interim Basis
---------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts gave
Diomed Holdings Inc. and Diomed Inc. interim approval to use
lenders' cash collateral.

In March 2008, the Debtors told the Court that they need to use
cash collateral for the continued management and operations of
their business.  The Debtors particularly said that they have to
fund efforts to sell their assets.

The Debtors related that the use of cash collateral alone won't
sustain their cash needs beyond the initial weeks of the cases.  
Access to additional post-petition credit will be necessary to
pay for future daily operating costs associated with the
Debtors' ordinary course operations in order to finalize the
terms of and consummate, subject to Court approval, a
transaction for the sale of their operating assets.

          Creditors Holding Interest in Cash Collateral

Based on a court document, Hercules Technology Growth Capital
Inc., Iroquis Capital LP, Cranshire Capital LP, Portside Growth
and Opportunity Fund, and Rockmore Investment Master Fund Ltd.
are among those that have interests in the cash collateral.

a. Hercules Term Loan

The Debtors disclose that they are borrowers under a certain
loan and security agreement dated Sept. 28, 2007, with Hercules
as lender.  Hercules loaned the Debtors with a principal amount
of US$10,000,000 allowing the Debtors to draw US$6,000,000 on
the closing date.  The Debtors can then draw up to US$4,000,000
to be advanced in minimum increments of US$2,000,000 beginning
Jan. 31, 2008, until March 30, 2008.  The loan agreement with
Hercules has a prime rate plus 3.20%, plus additional 5%
following event of default.  The Debtors granted Hercules in its
assets, including inventory but excluding 35% of the capital
stock of foreign units and the capital stock of Luminetix Corp.  
As of the bankruptcy filing, the Debtors are obligated to
Hercules in the amount of US$6,000,000 with respect to term
loan, plus costs.

b. 2004 Variable Rate Convertible Debentures

Diomed Holdings issued variable rate convertible debentures in
October 2004, held as of the bankruptcy filing, by four
investors, Iroquis, Cranshire, Portside and Rockmore.  The
debentures mature on Oct. 25, 2008, or at an earlier date, in
cash or common stock.  
In the event of mandatory repayment, the debentures is subject
to a 30% prepayment premium.  The debentures bear interest at a
variable rate of the greater of 500 basis points over six-month
LIBOR, or 10%, subject to an increase to 18% following event of
default.  Diomed Holdings initially issued US$7,000,000 of
convertible debentures, the amount was reduced over time.  The
conversion price of the debentures is currently at US$0.70 per
share.  Although the debentures were unsecured when issued in
2004, a subordinated security interest was granted to the
debenture holders as a condition to the debenture holders'
consent to the Hercules Term Loan on Sept. 28, 2007.  As of the
bankruptcy filing, the balance of the outstanding debentures was
US$3,536,090, plus costs.

c. Other Liabilities

The Debtors have other current liabilities, including general
unsecured liquidated accounts payable of US$1,652,001 and
accrued expenses of US$3,755,612, totaling US$5,407,614.

                        Debtors' Assets

The Debtors disclose that as of Feb. 29, 2008, they hold
accounts receivable of US$1,612,917, cash and cash equivalents
of US$309,273, inventory of US$2,626,306, prepaid expenses of
US$456,805, property and equipment of US$862,337, long-term
assets of US$4,408,240, and other assets of US$14,700,000.  The
total value of the Debtors' assets as of Feb. 29, 2008, reached
about US$24,975,881.

ECOMOLD LTD: Lack of Buyers Cue Wind Down of Remaining Business
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ecomold Ltd.'s joint administrators disclosed that the remaining
business is to be wound down over several months as a suitable
buyer has not been found.

James Douglas Ernle Money and Mark Jeremy Orton of KPMG LLP were  
successful in selling on the plant in Scunthorpe and saving 179
jobs, but they have not been able to find a suitable buyer for
the remaining operations in Dunstable and Southend.

Several interested parties were involved in detailed reviews of
the company but ultimately no acceptable bids to purchase all or
part of the business were made.

The joint administrators have  taken the decision that the
remaining parts of the business will enter into a phased ‘wind
down’ leading to its closure.  Current customer demand
information indicates that Dunstable will end production in
August and the Southend facility in September this year.
Customers include Ford, FCSD & Jaguar Land Rover.

"It is disappointing that we have been unable to find a suitable
buyer for the remaining operations in Dunstable and Southend,
however we would like to stress that despite this announcement
we are continuing to seek offers for the business and will
continue this process over the coming months," Mr. Orton said.

"We would like to thank all of Ecomold’s staff for their hard
work and support since the commencement of the administration,"
Mr. Orton added.

Details of the 'wind down plans' have been communicated to all
staff in a letter sent out by KPMG.

There are currently 203 members of staff at Dunstable and 181
staff at based at Southend.

As previously reported in the TCR-Europe, Mr. Money and Mr.
Orton were appointed as joint administrators of Ecomold on Nov.
29, 2007, following an application by its directors.

EUROSAIL 2006-1: Fitch Affirms Rating on Class E Notes at BB
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the ratings of Eurosail 2006-1 plc.  
Eurosail 2006-1 is an RMBS transaction comprised of loans
originated by Southern Pacific Mortgages Ltd, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Lehman Brothers.  The current ratings are:

Eurosail 2006-1 Plc:

   -- Class A1b (ISIN XS0253564545): affirmed at 'AAA'; Outlook
      Stable

   -- Class A1c (ISIN XS0253565781): affirmed at 'AAA'; Outlook
      Stable

   -- Class A2c (ISIN XS0253567720): affirmed at 'AAA'; Outlook

      Stable

   -- Class B1c (ISIN XS0253571243): affirmed at 'AA'; Outlook
      Stable

   -- Class C1a (ISIN XS0253572050): affirmed at 'A'; Outlook
      Stable

   -- Class C1c (ISIN XS0253573298): affirmed at 'A'; Outlook
      Stable

   -- Class D1a (ISIN XS0253573611): affirmed at 'BBB-'; Outlook
      Negative

   -- Class D1c (ISIN XS0253574932): affirmed at 'BBB-'; Outlook
      Negative

   -- Class E (ISIN XS0253576630): affirmed at 'BB'; Outlook
      Negative

The transaction currently has 15.30% loans more than three
months in arrears, and 2.89% of loans are currently in
possession.  Losses to date have been 0.29% of the original
collateral balance. Although the arrears levels for this
transaction are high in comparison to other UK non-conforming
transactions, cash flow remains strong.  With the redemption of
the class DTC notes in June 2007, the transaction no longer has
any interest stripping mechanisms that would reduce revenue
receipts available to pay interest on the notes or cover losses.

The current level of excess spread, reported as 0.90% annualized
as per the March investor report, provides sufficient cover for
the current level of losses experienced by the transaction.
Fitch anticipates that the transaction will continue to see
rising arrears levels and higher losses as the number of loans
in possession are worked through the foreclosure process.

The Negative Outlooks have been maintained on the Class D and E
notes due to concerns over the payment shock that borrowers will
face when their fixed-rate term ends.  Over 11% (11.13%) of the
pool rolls off fixed-rate loans in December 2008 and another
22.06% will be rolling of in March 2009.  Prepayment rates have,
however, remained strong, despite the reduction of mortgage
products in the market.  Fitch anticipates prepayment rates for
the transaction will fall in the next two periods, as the number
of loans resetting from fixed or discount rates is low; however,
the relatively high prepayment rate in the last period suggests
that borrowers from this pool are able to find alternative
mortgages at the end of their fixed or discount period.

The transaction does not hedge the risk of the reset dates
between the loans and the notes.  The variable rate loans reset
on the first of each month, while the notes reset on the 15th.  
The transaction is therefore at risk of any significant
movements on LIBOR during this period.  Fitch has taken into
account this risk in its analysis of the transaction.


EUROSAIL 2006-2BL: Fitch Affirms Class F1c Notes' Rating at B
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the ratings of Eurosail 2006-2BL plc.  
Eurosail 2006-2BL is an RMBS transaction comprised of loans
originated by Preferred Mortgages Ltd., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Lehman Brothers.  The ratings are:

Eurosail 2006-2BL plc:

   -- Class A1b (ISIN XS0266228914): affirmed at 'AAA'; Outlook
      Stable

   -- Class A1c (ISIN XS0266232197): affirmed at 'AAA'; Outlook

   -- Class C1c (ISIN XS0266250413): affirmed at 'A'; Outlook

   -- Class D1c (ISIN XS0266256709): affirmed at 'BBB'; Outlook
      Negative

   -- Class E1c (ISIN XS0266258317): affirmed at 'BB'; Outlook  
      Negative

   -- Class F1c (ISIN XS0266260560): affirmed at 'B'; Outlook
      Negative

Unlike other transactions from the Eurosail series, Eurosail
2006-2BL does not contain any interest stripping notes in the
form of either a detachable coupon or excess spread notes.  The
absence of these notes means that available interest revenue is
not removed senior to covering for losses or to replenish the
reserve fund.

The current level of excess spread, reported as 1.13% annualized
as per the March investor report, is currently providing
adequate support to cover losses on repossessed loans without
requiring the transaction to draw on its reserve fund.  Losses
to date have been 0.13% of the original collateral balance.
Loans greater than three months in arrears and loans currently
in possession comprise 13.72% and 3.79% of the current
collateral balance, respectively.  Arrears and possession levels
are, however, rising; therefore, Fitch expects revenue receipts
to be reduced by rising arrears levels and losses to increase as
more repossession are worked through the foreclosure process.

Eurosail 06-2BL is comprised predominantly of first charge loans
and only contains 0.53% of second charge loans of the current
collateral balance. This is significantly lower than other
transactions from the Eurosail series.

The Negative Outlooks have been maintained on the Class D, E and
F notes due to concerns over the potential for higher period
losses from the proportion of loans currently in possession and
also the potential for significant increases in arrears
following the payment shock borrowers will face when their
fixed-rate term ends.  Eleven percent of the pool rolls off
fixed-rate loans in April 2008 and another 11% will revert to
variable rates in July 2008.

The transaction does not hedge the risk of the reset dates
between the loans and the notes.  The variable rate loans reset
on the first of each month, while the notes reset on the 15th.  
The transaction is, therefore, at risk of any significant
movements on LIBOR during this period. Fitch has taken into
account this risk in its analysis of the transaction.

Prepayment rates have, however, remained strong, despite the
reduction of mortgage products in the market.  Fitch anticipates
prepayment rates for the transaction will increase in the next
period as loans reset from fixed or discount.  Current
observations indicate that borrowers from these pools are, in
general, able to find alternative products at the end of their
teaser period despite the recent reduction in products available
to non-conforming borrowers.


GABRIELLA MILLER: Appoints Martin Dominic Pickard as Liquidator

GENERAL MOTORS: Moody's Holds B3 Rating; Changes Outlook to Neg.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed the rating outlook for General
Motors Corporation to negative from stable, but affirmed the
company's B3 corporate family rating and its SGL-1 speculative
grade liquidity rating.

The change in outlook reflects Moody's concerns that GMAC LLC's
ability to provide retail and wholesale funding in support of
GM's automotive operations may be eroded by the operating
weakness at its subsidiary, ResCap LLC.  GMAC's long-term rating
was lowered to B2 from B1 and remains under review for further
possible downgrade because of the risks that ResCap poses for
GMAC's capital position and liquidity profile.  Moody's believes
that in order for ResCap to have continued access to debt
capital, GMAC may be required to provide additional indications
of support for the unit and that it is likely to do so. This
support, however, could weaken GMAC's own credit profile and
limit its ability to access the secured and unsecured debt
markets.

Moody's recognizes that GMAC retains a large cash position and
sizable committed credit facilities that can support a
significant portion of anticipated new receivable originations.
In addition, should GMAC's ability to fund originations be
constrained by reduced access to debt capital, third party
lenders would likely remain willing to fund higher-quality GM
retail receivables.  Nevertheless, Moody's views the potential
erosion in GMAC's credit profile and its ability to fund retail
and wholesale receivables as a material risk factor for GM.

Bruce Clark, senior vice president with Moody's, said that "GMAC
has always filled a critical role in supporting GM's retail
sales, and anything that lessens its ability to provide that
support is a negative for GM.  We think that one of the
tradeoffs for GMAC's potential support of ResCap is an erosion
in its ability to support GM's retail sales."

Additional factors contributing to the negative outlook are the
considerable cash requirements that GM will face during 2008 and
2009.  By 2010, GM has the potential to generate positive cash
flow due, in part, to the considerable savings that will begin
to be realized from the UAW-managed health care plan established
as part of the 2007 labor contract.  Going into 2008, GM's gross
liquidity consisted of approximately US$27.3 billion in cash and
US$7.3 billion in committed credit facilities.  These liquidity
resources support the company's SGL-1 speculative grade
liquidity rating by providing substantial coverage of all cash
requirements likely to arise during the coming twelve months.
These requirements include: ongoing minimum levels of cash
required to fund intra-month working capital requirements that
can approximate 5%-6% of revenues in the automotive OEM sector;
scheduled debt repayments; a large operating cash burn
associated with declining industry volumes in North America; and
anticipated restructuring expenditures at both GM and Delphi. GM
could also be faced with additional cash expenditures related to
a resolution of the American Axle -UAW contract negotiations,
Delphi's bankruptcy emergence plans, or capital contributions to
GMAC.

"A critical element of GM's strategy is to maintain enough
liquidity to bridge the large cash consumption requirements of
2008 and 2009, until significantly lower health care
expenditures start to occur in 2010," Clark noted.  "Our key
credit concern is that while this liquidity bridge is pretty
robust through 2008, it could become more tenuous as the company
gets in into the latter half of 2009. We'll continue to focus a
lot of our attention on GM's liquidity and its adequacy to get
the company to 2010."

Although GM's approximately US$34.6 billion in gross liquidity
will amply cover all of 2008's cash requirements, the resulting
level of liquidity available to cover 2009's requirements will
be significantly reduced.  Moreover, Moody's remains concerned
that absent a material rebound in North American automotive
demand, GM's 2009 cash requirements have the potential to strain
the liquidity resources the agency expects to be available at
that time.  As a result Moody's will closely monitor GM's
operating performance, the magnitude of cash needs, and the
prevailing market conditions through the coming nine months in
order to gauge the likely sufficiency of the company's liquidity
resources to fund all requirements during 2009. Over the course
of this nine-month period, indications that cash requirements
are exceeding expectations would likely lead to a lowering of
the company's speculative grade liquidity rating. An unabated
erosion in the liquidity profile would likely be a precursor to
a downgrade of the company's long-term ratings. Conversely,
evidence that GM's intermediate term cash requirements are lower
than anticipated and that the resulting liquidity position will
adequately cover 2009's requirements would contribute to a
stabilization of the rating outlook.

General Motors Corporation, headquartered in Detroit, Michigan,
is the world's second-largest automotive manufacturer.

NORTHERN ROCK: UKSA Seeks Judicial Review of Compensation Order
---------------------------------------------------------------
The UK Shareholders Association is seeking a judicial review
after the Treasury rejected the plea of Northern Rock plc's
small investors for fair compensation, Christine Seib, Miles
Costello and James Rossiter write for the Times Online.

The judicial review, the Times Online says, will challenge a
legislation introduced at the time of Northern Rock's
nationalization under which compensation payouts for
shareholders are based on the assumption that the bank was
unable to continue without public aid.

The UKSA, which is being advised by David Green of Edwin Coe, is
set to lodge an application for a judicial review to the
Administrative court, part of the High Court, by May 22, the
Times Online relates.

According to the Daily Telegraph, UKSA has raised GBP60,000 from
shareholders to fund the legal campaign, which is expected to be
heard within at least a year.

A Treasury spokeswoman, however, argued that the compensation
legislation was fair and reasonable, the paper adds.

As previously reported in the TCR-Europe on March 25, 2008, the
UKSA held a press conference to disclose the first steps in the
legal actions by shareholders to obtain fair recompense for the
compulsory purchase of their shares by the Government.  In
addition they gave details of the launch of a campaign to raise
funds to cover legal and other expenses associated with the
campaign.

                     The Basis of the Case

In UKSA's view the UK Government have confiscated the shares
even though there was a good private sector solution on the
table that would have enabled the company to recover and to
repay the debts it owed to the Bank of England.

According to the UKSA, they have promised to pay some
compensation but have rigged the basis of the valuation of the
shares so that shareholders are likely to get very little or
nothing (newspapers have been suggesting it could be as little
as 5 pence per share and the UKSA also believes it will be a
negligible figure).

The UKSA claimed the reason they have done this is apparently
because they have deduced that it offers "better value" to the
Government to acquire the shares for a pittance, and then sell
off the company after a period of "temporary public ownership"
to the highest bidder.  The association noted that there is no
commitment to give back to former shareholders any interest in
the company when it is subsequently sold, so they will not
benefit from any recovery in the business.

                 Rigging the Independent Valuation

How have they rigged the compensation terms?  

The UKSA said they have set the terms of reference for the
independent valuation by specifying that these assumptions
(among others) should apply:
   
   a) that the company is unable to continue as a going concern;
      and

   b) that the company is in administration.

These "assumptions" clearly did not apply when the
nationalization took place.  The company was not in
administration, and was trading normally and as a going concern
as Ministers have repeatedly said in Parliament and elsewhere.
Such terms of reference for the valuation of any company are
likely to result in a negligible valuation.

In addition the selection of the valuers is solely at the
discretion of the Treasury and there is no guarantee that they
will be unbiased and impartial.

         The Government Benefiting from its Own Actions

It is a general principle followed in commercial disputes that
anyone who damages the value of a business should not benefit as
a result in any subsequent valuation of that business.  But here
the UKSA alleged the Government and its agencies caused many of
the problems that Northern Rock faced.

            A Legal Challenge is Justifiable

The UKSA considers the valuation approach to be unlawful,
immoral and unethical and it believes that the Government should
not gain by being able to purchase the company cheaply as a
result of its own actions.  The association has taken legal
advice on these issues and it believes there is good grounds to
pursue legal action to challenge many aspects of this process
and the likely compensation that will be offered.

The UKSA believes that shareholders have a prima facie case that
their human rights have been violated under the Human Rights Act
1998 and the European Convention on Human Rights.  In
particular, the Act and the Convention protect rights in
property from the type of action which has been taken by the
Government here.

In the UKSA's view a proper, independent valuation of this
business when it was acquired by the Government might produce a
figure of more like GBP5 than 5 pence per share, which gives you
a measure of how much compensation it believes shareholders
should be asking for as opposed to what the Government wishes to
pay.  However, the association noted that it does not wish to
prejudge any valuation as not all the necessary financial
information is available to them at this time – all it asks is
that the valuation should be done on a normal commercial basis
with shareholders and the Government being able to make
submissions about the factors that might affect the conclusion.

But it is certainly not natural justice that a buyer of any
business should dictate the terms of reference for the
determination of the purchase price.

                Launch of Legal Action Fund

The UKSA estimates that there are over 150,000 private
individuals who have been affected by this matter.  It is
therefore asking everyone who was a shareholder in Northern Rock
to register their interest in this legal challenge and
contribute a minimum of GBP25.  Larger donations are invited
from shareholders with more than 1,000 shares, in proportion to
their holdings.

                Details of Legal Action

David Greene of Edwin Coe, UKSA's solicitors, has sent a "letter
before action" to the Treasury on behalf of three representative
plaintiffs (members of the group) outlining its claim that
there is a breach of the European Convention of Human Rights in
how the nationalization Act and the Compensation Order are
framed and requesting a response within 21 days.  The intention
is to seek a judicial review if there is no acceptable response.
SRM Global has sent a similar letter and it is likely that other
institutions may join in at a later date.  The association noted  
that although there is likely to be a joint case because clearly
the claims are similar, it would need separate legal
representation.

PETROLEOS DE VENEZUELA: Output Totals 1.1 Bln. Barrels in 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------
El Universal reports that Venezuelan oil production in 2007
totaled 1.1 billion barrels or 3.13 million barrels per day,
exactly the amount reported in Petroleos de Venezuela SA's
audited financial statements.  

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
April 23, 2008, the Venezuelan government will discuss in May
the discrepancy between Petroleos de Venezuela's oil output
figures and estimates from the Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries.  The Venezuelan government said that its
daily output is about 3.3 million barrels, but outside estimates
have placed Venezuela's actual production below official levels.  
Venezuela was producing about 2.33 million barrels per day
"based on secondary sources," and the International Energy
Agency placed the nation's daily oil production at 2.44 million
barrels, OPEC said.

According to El Universal, the Energy and Petroleum Ministry
disclosed in the edition of the Official Gazette on
April 18, 2008, the addition of 748.46 million barrels of oil to
Venezuelan proven reserves in the fourth quarter 2007, bringing
the total amount of reserves to 99.37 billion barrels as of
Dec. 31, 2007.

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.

                       *     *     *

On April 24, 2008, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed
its 'BB-' long-term corporate credit rating on Petroleos de
Venezuela S.A.  The outlook is stable.


PETROLEOS DE VENEZUELA: Takes Over Diques y Astilleros
------------------------------------------------------
Petroleos de Venezuela SA has assumed control Diques y
Astilleros Nacionales CA as part of a plan for Venezuela to
build its own oil tankers and offshore rigs, Steven Bodzin of
Bloomberg News reports.

The shipbuilder was transferred to PDVSA through a resolution
published in the Official Gazette, the formal record of
government actions.  Diques y Astilleros was previously owned by
Venezuela's defense ministry, the report notes.

According to the report, PDVSA has plans to expand its fleet as
it increases supply to Asia.  Two ships were built in Argentina
and PDVSA would build its own ships.

Bolivarian News Agency disclosed that Diques y Astilleros
Nacionales would build a naval vessel.  Iran would assist in
building oil vessels.

PETROLEOS DE VENEZUELA: Selling Fuel Oil to Petrobras
-----------------------------------------------------
Petroleos de Venezuela SA has sold a prompt-loading 270,000-
tonne cargo of fuel oil to Petroleo Brasileiro via private deals
following the cancellation of a tender earlier due to poor price
offers, the Economic Times reports, citing certain traders.

The traders said in a statement that both companies are all
connected in more ways than one.  The companies were partnered
in a US$4.5 million joint-venture refinery project.  Under the
project, the construction was set in northeastern Brazil with
100,000 barrels per day, the report states.

According to the traders, the cargo, based on current market
prices, was valued at a discount of about US$14 to Singapore
spot quotes, on freight-on-board (FOB) basis.  The cargo would
likely be shipped to Asia, the report adds.

SEA CONTAINERS: SCSL Panel Asks Documents on Pension Dispute
------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Sea Containers
Services Ltd. asks the Honorable Kevin J. Carey of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to compel the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Sea Containers Ltd.
to produce documents that have been withheld on the basis of the
common interest privileges between the SCL Committee and the DIP
Lenders or the Bondholders.

As previously reported, the Debtors asked the Court to approve
the pension scheme agreement between them and the trustees of
the two main Sea Containers Pension Schemes to agree on the
amount of their claims against the Sea Containers estate.

As a result of extensive negotiations that commenced prior to
the bankruptcy filing and have continued throughout these
Chapter 11 cases, the Debtors, their Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors, and the Trustees agreed to the Settlement
under which the Schemes' claims against the Debtors are fully
resolved.

The SCSL Committee's Document Requests seek to obtain from the
SCL Committee various categories of documents directly relevant
to the issues raised by its objection to the Settlement,
including:

  -- documents relating to the SCL Committee's evaluation and
     analysis of the Pension Schemes' claims;

  -- documents concerning communications between the SCL
     Committee and the Debtors or their creditors about:

     * the Pension Schemes' claims;

     * the SCL Committee's contention that the Pension Schemes
       and the SCSL Committee violated the automatic stay; and

     * set-off rights between the Debtors; and

  -- documents relating to the grounds raised in the objection
     to the Pension Schemes' proofs of claim filed by the SCL
     Committee.

Mr. Stratton says the SCL Committee has not produced, and does
not intend to produce, a privilege log for the documents
withheld
based on the common interest privileges it asserted.  Although
the parties did agree that privilege logs need not be produced
for documents withheld based on the attorney-client privilege or
attorney-work product doctrine, reflecting communications
between
the committees and their members and advisors, no agreement was
reached with respect to documents withheld based on a common
interest privilege, he continues.

                  Dispute on Common Interests

David B. Stratton, Esq., at Pepper Hamilton LLP, in Wilmington,
Delaware, argues that the SCL Committee's assertion that it has
a
"common interest" privilege with respect to all communications
between the SCL Committee and two groups of creditors, the DIP
Lenders, and a group of unsecured bondholders represented by
Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP, is not supported by law.

Mr. Stratton tells Judge Carey that there is no common interest
between the DIP Lenders and the SCL Committee.  He asserts that
the interests of the DIP Lenders, by virtue of their position,
differ significantly from, and potentially conflict with, the
interests of unsecured creditors.  He notes that it was this
divergence in interest that led the U.S. Trustee to remove
certain noteholders, who became DIP Lenders, from the original
SCL Committee.  Hence, he points out, the SCL Committee cannot
withhold communications with the DIP Lenders under the guise of
a
"common interest" privilege.

Although the SCL Committee and the Bondholders may share a
common
commercial interest, that interest alone is insufficient to give
rise to a common interest privilege, Mr. Stratton argues.  He
contends that the SCL Committee cannot demonstrate that it
shares
a common legal interest with the Bondholders in opposing the
Debtors' request to approve the settlement regarding the pension
claims.

As a result of the expansive privileges asserted by the SCL
Committee, its entire document production consists of seven
documents, a number of which are duplicates, totaling eleven
pages in the aggregate, Mr. Stratton tells the Court.  He notes
that the SCSL Committee, the Sea Containers 1983 Pension Scheme
and the Sea Containers 1990 Pension Scheme have produced more
than 20,000 pages of documents in response to the SCL
Committee's
discovery requests.

                           Objections

A. SCL Committee

The SCL Committee tells Judge Carey that the SCSL Committee's
document requests seek to compel disclosure of communications
among the SCL Committee, creditors and DIP Lenders concerning:

  -- the claims asserted by the Pension Schemes;

  -- whether the SCSL Committee acted in violation of the
     automatic stay in taking steps to procure the Pension
     Claims;

  -- the Debtors' request to approve the Settlement; and

  -- any settlement discussions regarding the Pension Claims.

William  H. Sudell, Jr., Esq., at Morris, Nichols, Arsht &
Tunnell LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, says the SCL Committee is
stranger to the Settlement and the request to approve the
Settlement because it played no part in the facts and
circumstances that form the basis for the Pension Claims and
equalization matters that were resolved in the Settlement.  
Hence, he asserts, there is no historical fact that the SCL
Committee could provide documents that would be in any way
relevant in evaluating the issues presented by the Settlement.

Mr. Sudell contends that the communications among the SCL
Committee, certain creditors, and the DIP Lenders, that the SCSL
Committee seeks to compel took place in aid of a common interest
arising in connection with litigation -- resisting the dilutive
effect on creditors of allowance of the Pension Claims in an
inflated amount.  He notes that the communications necessarily
took place in the conduct of SCL Committee's duties as an
official committee.

The communications are irrelevant to the facts that would
determine the merits of the Settlement Request, and are
protected
by the common-interest privilege, Mr. Suddell argues.  He adds
that the disclosure of the communications would chill the:

  -- SCL Committee from carrying its function,

  -- creditors from obtaining the benefit of the official
     committee, and

  -- inhibit the orderly plan process.  

Hence, the SCL Committee asks the Court to deny the request to
compel.

B. Bondholders

Bondholders Contrarian Capital Advisors, LLC; J.P. Morgan
Securities Inc.; Credit Trading Group; Post Advisory Group, LLC;
Trilogy Capital LLC; and Varde Investment Partners, L.P.; say
that while they are not aware of the specific documents the SCL
Committee has withheld pursuant to the common interest
privilege, there can be little debate that the privilege applies
to communications between the SCL Committee and the Bondholders,
and their counsel and advisors.

The Bondholders inform the Court that they have had numerous
detailed communications concerning the legal merits of the
Pension Claims and the Settlement Request, as well as strategy
and tactics related to the SCL Committee's litigation against
both.  They relate that included in their communications are the
objectives and interests of the Bondholders and the SCL
Committee.  Hence, the Bondholders point out that their
privileged communications with the SCL Committee fall squarely
within the common interest privilege.

The Bondholders also argue that they share a common legal
interest with the SCL Committee in assuring that the allowed
amount of the Pension Claims conforms to all applicable legal
requirements, and in challenging a Settlement, which fails to
reasonably reflect those requirements.  Accordingly, the
Bondholders ask the Court to deny SCSL Committee's request.

C. Mariner Investment Group

Mariner Investment Group Inc., one of the DIP Lenders, joins and
supports the SCL Committee's objection to the request.  Mariner
objects to the document production request as it relates to
communications between Mariner Investment and the SCL Committee
concerning the Pension Claims.

Janet M. Weiss, Esq., at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, in New
York, contends that communications with Mariner Investment could
not possibly have any bearing on approval of the Pension
Settlement because it has not filed any objection or other
pleadings in connection with the settlement.  She adds that the
request is not, by any stretch, "reasonably calculated to lead
to the discovery of admissible evidence," pursuant to Rule
26(b)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

"The [SCSL] Committee's request for communications between
Mariner and the SCL Committee is merely a litigation tactic
designed to chill open discussions between Mariner and the SCL
Committee, which is representing Mariner's substantial interests
as a bondholder," Ms. Weiss points out.

Ms. Weiss further argues that the request, which is specifically
aimed at the DIP Lenders is "nothing more than an intimidation
tactic," which creates wasteful expense and harms to the
bankruptcy estates.  Hence, Mariner Investment asks the Court to
limit the scope of the SCSL Committee's discovery to exclude
documents reflecting any communications with the DIP Lenders
relating to the Pension Claims.

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.
