Bankruptcy proceedings in the Czech Republic grew in 2007
compared to the previous years, the Prague Daily Monitor reports
citing a Dun & Bradstret statistics report.

The mining sector was hit hard with health care, social
services, veterinary care and education being the safest, the
Monitor adds.

M-REAL CORP: Cancels Reflex Mill Sale to Arjowiggins
----------------------------------------------------
M-real and Arjowiggins have decided not to pursue the sale of
Reflex mill.  The parties entered into the sale and purchase
agreement on Oct. 12, 2007 and the transaction was conditionally
approved by the European Commission on June 4, 2008.

The condition was that Arjowiggins divest Reflex mill's
carbonless and digital imaging businesses to a third party.  
After thorough analysis, the parties conclude that the rationale
to complete the transaction under the condition was considerably
weakened.

Headquartered in Espoo, Finland, M-real Corp. --
http://www.M-Real.com/-- produces and distributes coated and     
uncoated fine papers for printing and packaging industries.  The
company has operations in Brazil and Mexico.

                        *     *     *

M-real continues to carry a B2 long-term corporate family rating
and a B2 senior unsecured debt rating from Moody's Investor
Service, with negative outlook.

Standard & Poor's rates the company's long-term foreign and
local issuer credit at B+ and its short-term foreign and local
issuer credit at B.  The outlook is negative

EXIDE TECH: S&P Lifts Rating on Improved Financial Results to B
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has raised its corporate
credit rating on Exide Technologies to 'B' from 'B-' as a result
of the company's improved financial results, which have led to
continued reduction in debt leverage.

At the same time, S&P raised the issue-level ratings on Exide's
senior secured term loan (to 'BB-'), secured second-lien notes
(to 'B-'), and convertible subordinated debt (to 'CCC+').  The
outlook is stable.

Alpharetta, Ga.-based Exide, a manufacturer of automotive and
industrial batteries, has total debt of about US$1 billion,
including Standard & Poor's adjustments for underfunded retiree
benefit liabilities, operating leases, and trade receivables
sold.

"The upgrade reflects Exide's improved financial risk profile
and our belief that the company should be able to sustain its
stronger credit ratios, even in the face of economic weakness in
the United States and the potential for softer sales in other
regions," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Gregg Lemos
Stein.  The company has benefited from improved pricing in most
of its battery segments, helping it more than offset sharply
higher lead costs.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, better pricing and some
manufacturing cost savings led to a 54% year-over-year increase
in adjusted EBITDA (excluding restructuring costs, non-cash
currency measurement gains, and certain other one-time items).
The improvement came amid a difficult environment for lead
prices, which represents more than half of the company's
cost of goods sold.  The average price of lead for the year was
more than double that of the previous year, although in the past
few months, lead prices have fallen from their record highs.

All of Exide's business segments showed improved results in the
past year, except the European industrial batteries business,
which suffered from slower pass-through of lead costs resulting
from contractual arrangements.  Exide has reduced the lag in
some of these contracts as they have come up for renewal.  A
sustained period of lower lead prices would greatly benefit this
unit's results, although we expect lead prices to remain
volatile.

The stable outlook reflects our belief that Exide should be able
to sustain credit ratios that are consistent with the current
rating.  S&P expects leverage to remain between 3.5x and 4.5x
and free operating cash flow to remain positive for the full
current fiscal year.  S&P could revise the outlook to positive
or raise the rating if the company produces sufficient free
operating cash flow in the next several quarters to both improve
liquidity and permanently reduce debt.  Exide's ability to
reduce its exposure to potential future lead price spikes also
would be an important consideration in any upgrade.  S&P could
revise the outlook to negative or lower the rating if free
cash flow remains negative for the year, if recent improvements
in Exide's pricing prove unsustainable, or if lead costs spike
higher again and put pressure on Exide's liquidity.  A sharp
decrease in Exide's liquidity, which S&P does not currently
expect, would result in an immediate downgrade.


KORREDEN SA: Moody's Cuts Corporate Family Rating to Ba3
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded the corporate family
rating to Ba3 from Ba2 of Korreden S.A., the ultimate holding
company for the French homebuilder Akerys.

At the same time, it downgraded to B1 from Ba3 the rating of the
EUR300 million of Senior Floating-Rate Notes due 2014 issued by
Akerys Holdings S.A., a finance subsidiary of Korreden.  The
company's probability of default rating is now Ba3.  Loss given
default has changed to LGD5 (77.49%).  The ratings remain on
review for possible downgrade.  LGD assessments and point
estimates are also subject to change and the notching between
the CFR and rating of the senior notes could widen.

Moody's says the rating action follows the sharp reduction in
sales volumes Akerys has experienced as well as further pressure
on its operating margins in the three quarters of fiscal
2007/2008.  Poor trading results have been accompanied by
increasing levels of inventory and leverage.  Furthermore, the
weakening operating environment facing homebuilders in France
makes a quick recovery unlikely.

Moody's says that the ongoing rating review will focus on these
issues:

   (1) The ability of the company to reduce inventory days on
       hand going forward as a result of the slowing of sales
       and the hike in cancellation rates thus far in 2008;

   (2) The company's ability to improve profitability, given
       that direct costs are rising and house prices appear to
       be falling in France;

   (3) The company's actions to take the necessary steps to
       adjust its debt structure to the currently fragile
       business environment; and to maintain an adequate
       liquidity position, which is currently solid.

   (4) The company's ability to substantially reverse its
       current underperformance on key credit metrics.

Headquartered in Toulouse, France, Akerys is the largest player
in the buy-to-let segment of the French homebuilding market.  
The group's main shareholder is investment holding company
Qualis SCA (not rated), with a 76% interest.  At the end of the
third quarter 2007/2008, the group reported year-to-date net
income of EUR478 thousand.

DEUTSCHE BANK: Moody's Cuts Ratings on Four Credit Default Swaps
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded four classes of notes
issued by Eirles Four Limited and four credit default swaps
entered into by Deutsche Bank AG referencing the TSAR_08
portfolio.  The Series 77, 76, 75 & 74 credit-linked notes
issued by Eirles Four Limited are repacks of the B, C, D & E
TSAR_08 swaps respectively and essentially carry the portion of
credit risk associated with the swaps.

This CDO transaction contains subprime RMBS bonds and ABS CDOs,
particularly of the 2005 and 2006 vintages.

Moody's announced on Feb. 4, 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 utilize
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:

Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch - TSAR_08:

   (1) The TSAR_08 Class B Swap with maximum exposure US$
       105,000,000

    -- Current Rating: B2, on review for downgrade

GMAC LLC: Moody's Cuts Senior Long-Term Rating to B3
----------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the senior long-term rating
of GMAC LLC to B3 from B2.  The outlook is negative.  The
downgrade is based on GMAC's increased exposure to Residential
Capital LLC, GMAC's residential mortgage finance subsidiary
(senior unsecured affirmed at Ca), and also reflects growing
pressure on GMAC's auto finance asset quality and profitability.

GMAC and ResCap have recently concluded a restructuring of debt
and bank facilities that, while beneficial to ResCap's
liquidity, results in GMAC's committed credit extensions to
ResCap increasing to a total of US$4.6 billion from US$750
million at the end of the first quarter of 2008.  This includes
a new US$3.5 billion secured line, of which US$750 million is a
first loss participation that is expected to be funded by GM and
Cerberus (through one of its managed funds).  Extensions also
include US$1 billion of incremental credit made necessary by a
larger than previously anticipated shortfall in ResCap's cash
funding requirements.

GMAC has also contributed to ResCap certain ResCap debt that
GMAC acquired through open-market purchases, in exchange for
ResCap preferred interests.  Moody's estimates that on a March
31, 2008 pro-forma basis, common and preferred interests in
ResCap and total credit extensions represent 84% of GMAC's net
worth, compared with 46% at the end of 2007.  Given the
continuing operating uncertainties at ResCap, the increase in
exposure weakens GMAC's stand-alone credit profile, in Moody's
view.

GMAC's credit extensions are supported by a ResCap pledge of
assets, giving it a priority position in a ResCap bankruptcy;
however, Moody's believes there is some uncertainty regarding
the extent of asset recovery.  GMAC's preferred interests in
ResCap are exchangeable after January 2009 for equivalent
interests in IB Finance Holding LLC, the parent of GMAC Bank,
which provides financing for both residential mortgages and auto
loans.  However, GMAC's control of the bank past November 2008
is also subject to uncertainty, as FIM Holdings (the investor
consortium led by Cerberus) is party to a disposition agreement
with the FDIC that could result in Cerberus disposing of its
ownership interest in the bank by that date.

The downgrade also reflects growing pressure on the
profitability of GMAC's auto finance operations, arising from
higher average borrowing costs and weakening asset quality.
Asset quality is being affected by a marked decline in used
vehicle values in recent quarters, which decreases expected
recoveries from loan defaults and reduces residual realization
on retail leases.  In the last half of 2007, GMAC tightened its
loan underwriting, which resulted in improved delinquency in the
first quarter of 2008.  Nevertheless, higher unemployment and
declining consumer credit alternatives are likely to result in
higher loan defaults in Moody's view.

The credit extensions and capital injections from GMAC to ResCap
have also increased the demands on GMAC's liquidity and capital
ratios.  GMAC has obtained a new US$11.4 billion three-year
senior secured bank facility that replaces its US$6 billion
unsecured credit facilities.  The facility steps down to US$7.9
billion after two years.  The new facility provides added
funding capacity to GMAC, but usage encumbers GMAC's assets,
resulting in structural subordination of senior unsecured
creditors.  Moody's believes that asset coverage of unsecured
creditors has weakened in recent quarters.  Moody's also said
that GMAC's leverage continues to be higher than auto captive
peers.

The negative outlook on the GMAC rating reflects the continued
operating uncertainty at ResCap, as well as the challenging
operating environment for the core consumer auto finance
operations.

GMAC LLC is a Detroit-based provider of retail and wholesale
auto financing, auto insurance, and warranty products.  GMAC
owns Residential Capital LLC, which is engaged in residential
mortgage finance.  GMAC reported a first quarter 2008
consolidated net loss of US$589 million.

LEAR CORP: Buys Majority Interest of New Trend Group
----------------------------------------------------
Lear Corporation has entered into agreements to acquire a 75%
share of the automotive fabric business of New Trend Group Co.,
Ltd.  Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

The acquisition of a majority stake in New Trend Group's
automotive fabric business is consistent with Lear's strategy to
selectively increase the level of vertical integration for its
Seating business.  New Trend's seat trim fabric operations
provide Lear an opportunity for low-cost fabric supply to its
existing cut and sew capabilities as well as offering the
potential for incremental sales growth as a fabric supplier to a
broad range of automotive manufacturers.  Other partnerships in
the area of seat trim are presently being evaluated by Lear.

Mr. Lou Salvatore, Lear Senior Vice President and President of
Global Seating Operations, said, "Following our successful
launch of the Aventino Collection of premium leather last fall,
Lear was looking for additional opportunities to further
vertically integrate seat trim into our core product portfolio.  
The production of additional trim options such as flat-woven
materials and knits provides Lear the opportunity to offer our
customers a wider range of seat trim options and improve overall
seating system value."

Mr. Salvatorre, added, "We anticipate growing New Trend's fabric
sales multifold over the next couple years. "Our consumer
research shows European and Asian suppliers are trending toward
more flat wovens, while North America has a high usage of knits.  
As a result, we see an opportunity to increase our market share
in Asia, and further down the road, successfully launch our
fabric portfolio with North American and European customers."

Although Lear's investment gives it a majority ownership stake
and management control in the New Trend automotive fabric
business, the current management and employees will remain in
place to ensure operational continuity, manufacturing expertise
and existing design/development activities.  Lear will maintain
the New Trend brand identity, and we will refer to the business
as New Trend automotive fabric by Lear.

Lear's seat system design, engineering and manufacturing
expertise and global scale strongly complements New Trend's
experience in automotive fabrics and footprint in Asia.  In the
initial phase following acquisition, New Trend will continue to
focus on its core competencies and produce fabrics in China for
internal consumption.  At the same time, Lear will evaluate
opportunities to expand New Trend's facilities and leverage this
low-cost source for export to markets outside of Asia.

New Trend is a leading supplier of trim to the China automotive
market as well as an exporter to Europe and the U.S. through its
two automotive textile manufacturing facilities in China. The
company produces fabric used for seat covers, vehicle headliners
and automotive door panels and carpet for GM, VW, Ford, China
Brilliance, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Chery and Geely vehicles,
predominantly in China.

issue ratings were affirmed.

"The outlook revision acknowledges the strong operating
performance at the core cable segment over the past two
quarters, with a positive impact on credit measures, significant
gross debt reduction, and the turnaround at its subsidiary arena
Sport Rechte & Marketing GmbH," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Mattias Raab.

S&P expects Unitymedia Cable to continue to post solid EBITDA
growth based on resilient performance of its utility-like CATV
business and good growth potential from the uptake of triple-
play services, providing rating upside potential.  

Following buybacks of EUR75 million and EUR151 million par-value
senior secured floating-rate notes (FRNs) in November 2007 and
March 2008, respectively, Unitymedia's lease-adjusted total debt
was EUR2.3 billion (EUR1.8 billion unadjusted) at March 31,
2008.  This translates into an adjusted total debt to last-12-
month EBITDA ratio of 6.1x (5.0x unadjusted) excluding EBITDA
generated at arena, down from 6.8x at year-end 2007.
"The positive outlook reflects the sound performance of
Unitymedia's underlying cable business and the potential for an
upgrade in the near term," said Mr. Raab.  "This would require
Unitymedia to deleverage further, rapidly approaching a ratio of
5x adjusted total debt to EBITDA (excluding EBITDA generated at
arena), and improve its FOCF generation at Unitymedia Cable."

ASHCOIN LIMITED: Liquidation Looms Due to Insolvency
----------------------------------------------------
Ashcoin Limited has ceased operations three months after
receiving a rescue package, various reports say.

Ashcoin will go into liquidation after receiving advise from its
accountants and bankers that it is insolvent, Sunday Business
Post reports.

According to the Irish Independent, a liquidator will be
appointed for company's voluntary wind-up as well as of its
Ashcoin Fit-Out unit.

The company blamed its financial to the slowdown in the property
market and current credit crunch.

"Our biggest problem was that customers who owed us money have
not paid us," David Phelan, managing director of Ashcoin, told
the Irish Independent.  "Our biggest customers are property
developers.  With the credit crunch, developers have not been
able to raise the money they need from banks.  Developers,
therefore, won't pay the builders what they owe them, and the
builders won't pay us."

As previously reported in the TCR-Europe, a High Court in Dublin
approved a scheme of arrangement for Ashcoin.  The company
received EUR1 million from Tim Kelly Engineering, which  took a
98% stake in Fit-Out.

The company sought bankruptcy protection in January 2008, after
incurring EUR8 million of debt

Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, Ashcoin Ltd. --

engineering and fit-out company.  For the financial year 2006,
the company has turnover of EUR16 million and operating profit

EIRLES FOUR: Moody's Cuts Ratings on Four Note Classes
------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded four classes of notes
issued by Eirles Four Limited and four credit default swaps
entered into by Deutsche Bank AG referencing the TSAR_08
portfolio.  The Series 77, 76, 75 & 74 credit-linked notes
issued by Eirles Four Limited are repacks of the B, C, D & E
TSAR_08 swaps respectively and essentially carry the portion of
credit risk associated with the swaps.

This CDO transaction contains subprime RMBS bonds and ABS CDOs,
particularly of the 2005 and 2006 vintages.

Moody's announced on Feb. 4, 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 utilize
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:

Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch - TSAR_08:

   (1) The TSAR_08 Class B Swap with maximum exposure US$
       105,000,000

    -- Current Rating: B2, on review for downgrade

VOLARE GROUP: Government Relaunches Auction Process
---------------------------------------------------
The Italian government has restarted the auction process for
Volare Group S.p.A., Marco Bertacche writes for Bloomberg News.

The industry ministry commenced the auction process on June 11,
2008, and asked interested parties to submit binding offers for
Volare by July 14, 2008.

As previously reported in the TCR-Europe earlier this month,
Italy's State Council, the highest administrative appeals court
in the country, has ordered the government to restart Volare's
auction process.

In March 2008, the court confirmed its Sept. 29, 2006, ruling
that annulled with finality Alitalia's EUR38-million takeover
of Volare.  The court ruled the 2006 tended was invalid since it
failed to follow correct procedures.  

In May 2006, the State Council blocked Alitalia's takeover bid
due to certain flaws in the sale process.

Air One, which made the second highest bid for Volare, had
claimed that Alitalia was an unfair competitor and that it
lacked the conditions to buy another airline following a near-
bankruptcy miss in 2005.

administration, which allowed it to be protected from creditors
while resuming daily operations.

CENTRAS INSURANCE: Moody's Rates Insurance Fin'l Strength at B3
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a first-time global scale
insurance financial strength rating of B3 to the insurance
company Centras Insurance, based in Almaty, Kazakhstan.  The
rating outlook is positive.

Centras Insurance is a subsidiary of the Centras Group.  With
KZT1.7 billion gross premiums written in 2007, the company ranks
number 17 in the Kazakh insurance market.  However, unlike many
of the larger insurance companies of the country, Centras
Insurance is not a captive affiliated to any large industrial or
financial group, and has based its business plan on the
development of retail lines.

Moody's said that the B3, positive outlook rating reflects this
sustainable business model, supported by a well spread regional
network, the good business diversification, good profitability
and a conservative management as evidenced by a quality
reinsurance program and an investment policy favoring local bank
deposits.

This is offset by a lean capitalization and significant asset
risk due to an exposure to local banks rated below investment
grade.  Moody's also notes that the company only started its
current activities in 2005, and warns that the assessment of
profitability and reserve adequacy is therefore challenging.  
The rating also factors in the relatively small size and market
position of the company, though improving rapidly, and the
challenging operating environment in Kazakhstan.

"Centras Insurance ranks among the top 10 retail insurance
companies in the Kazakh insurance market, and the well spread
regional network gives the company a good position to grow fast
in retail lines," Benjamin Serra, lead analyst for Centras
Insurance at Moody's, said.  Furthermore, the growth of the
company is managed conservatively thanks to a very good
reinsurance program placed with quality Western reinsurers.
However, the rating is currently constrained by significant
asset risk, as a consequence of deposits with banks mainly rated
in the single B category, and low capitalization as evidenced by
available solvency margin currently very close to minimum
solvency requirement."  Moody's added that the positive outlook
reflects Moody's expectation that Centras Insurance will
continue to improve its market position in the short to medium-
term, as well as seek to improve its capital position through
continued profitability and retained earnings.

Commenting on what could result in upward pressure on Centras
Insurance's IFSR, Moody's mentioned an improved capital position
in order to finance the growth of the company inside and outside
Kazakhstan and remove the pressure from potential for regulatory
capital pressures; or a top tier position in the Kazakh retail
insurance market, while maintaining a conservative risk profile,
good profitability; and an improvement in the credit quality of
the investment portfolio.

Conversely, negative rating pressure could develop in the event
of a riskier business risk profile, with a significant growth in
longer-tailed lines such as inwards reinsurance or commercial
lines and a less comprehensive reinsurance program; a failure to
grow in the Kazakh insurance market; and a failure to maintain
the current level of profitability, preventing the company from
breaking-even on its fixed costs; a deterioration of the credit
quality of the investments portfolio, as evidenced by downgrades
of local banks; or a decline in solvency ratio below 105%.

The first-time rating was assigned:

   -- Centras Insurance -- insurance financial strength rating
      at B3, positive outlook.

Based in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Centras Insurance is a non-life
insurance company with a diversified business portfolio and
focuses on the growth in retail lines. In 2007, Centras
Insurance reported Gross Premiums Written of KZT1,675 million
and net income of KZT162 million, compared to KZT1,003 million
and KZT117 million in 2006.  Shareholders' equity including
minority interests was KZT850 million as at Dec. 31, 2007.

* Kazakhstan Senate Deliberates on Amending Bankruptcy Issues
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Senate deputies in Kazakhstan deliberated on making
amendments and additions in some legislative acts on bankruptcy
issues at a plenary session on June 16, 2008, Kazakhstan Today
reports.

According to the report, the senate deputies considered in the
second reading and sent the proposal to mazhilis with amendments
law draft.

Under the reorganization of the state enterprise and production
cooperative into the joint stock company, the deputies
considered payment of minimal size of the foundation capital
within two years, Kazakhstan Today relates.  

"Minimal amount of the foundation capital is fixed - 50 thousand
divisible amount of the monthly payment index and a requirement
to pay it during 30 days since the moment of the state
registration of juridical entity," senators were quoted by
Kazakhstan Today.

"High capitalization for joint stock companies is explained with
their specific activity, which is realized in attraction of
investors money, consequently, with more tough requirements to
their activity.  In this regard it is not reasonable to increase
a term for formation of minimal amount of foundation capital
restructured joint stock companies up to two years," the
senators added.

EVRAZ GROUP: Completes Buy of IPSCO’s Plate & Pipe Business
-----------------------------------------------------------
Evraz Group S.A. has completed its acquisition of IPSCO’s
Canadian plate and pipe business from SSAB.

After a back-to-back transaction with OAO TMK that consisted of
an on-sale of the acquired IPSCO’s US businesses to TMK for
US$1.25 billion, the total cash consideration paid by Evraz for
the assets amounted approximately to US$2.9 billion.  The
original amount was adjusted to include the acquisition of a
cut-to length facility in Surrey, BC, as well as certain IPSCO
Canada working capital adjustment.

In addition, Evraz expects to sell the remaining acquired US
businesses of IPSCO Tubulars to TMK for around US$500 million in
2009.  As a result of these transactions, the net cost of the
acquisition for Evraz will make up US$2.4 billion.

Former IPSCO’s Canadian assets, including the Regina Steel mill
as well as plate and pipe production capacities in Regina,
Calgary and Red Deer, are now part of Evraz’s North American
operations.

The transaction was financed in part out of the proceeds of the

B.V.'s notes due 2021.  The rating actions reflect Fitch's view
on the credit risk of the rated notes following the release of
its new Corporate CDO rating criteria.

   -- EUR552 million Class IA F (ISIN: XS0246347016): affirmed
      at 'AAA'

   -- EUR138 million Class IB (ISIN: XS0243224911): affirmed at
      'AAA'

   -- EUR40 million Class II (ISIN: XS0243225215): affirmed at

   -- EUR30 million Class V (ISIN: XS0243226296): affirmed at
      'BB'

The portfolio has been ramped-up in accordance with its
collateral investment guidelines but has less exposure to
mezzanine and second lien obligations than initially expected.  
The portfolio profile tests allow for a maximum of 20% of
mezzanine obligations and a maximum of 45% of second lien
obligations.  The current exposure to these loans is a combined
15.19% of the current portfolio while the remainder consists of
first lien loans and cash.

As of the review date, it contained loans from 48 obligors, with
the largest exposure constituting 3.48% of the outstanding
portfolio amount, and the three largest obligors making up 8.45%
of the outstanding portfolio amount.  The weighted average
portfolio quality is 'B', with no assets rated at 'CCC' or
below; 3.72% of the portfolio is on Rating Watch Negative and
10.3% is on Negative Outlook.  The single largest industry is
business services, at12.05% of the portfolio volume.  The
current credit enhancement levels of all rated tranches are
deemed sufficient to justify their ratings under Fitch's revised
corporate CDO rating methodology.

Cheyne Credit Opportunity CDO I B.V. is a securitization of
mainly European senior secured loans, with the total note
issuance of EUR1 billion.  The portfolio is actively managed by
Cheyne Capital Management (UK) LLP.  Non-euro assets are hedged
through perfect asset swaps.

Fitch released its updated criteria on April 30, 2008, for
Corporate CDOs and, at that time, noted it would be reviewing
its ratings accordingly to establish consistency for existing
and new transactions.  As part of this review, Fitch makes
standard adjustments for any names on RWN or Outlook Negative,
reducing such ratings for default analysis purposes by two
notches and one notch, respectively.

MOSCOW OBLAST: S&P Rates Proposed RUR10 Bln Senior Bond at BB
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB' long-term
debt rating and 'ruAA' Russia national scale rating to the
proposed Russian RUR10 billion (US$420 million) senior unsecured
bond with an amortizing repayment schedule to be issued by the
Moscow Oblast (BB/Positive/--; Russia national scale rating
'ruAA').

"The bond will be used to refinance short-term debt and continue
financing the Moscow Oblast's extensive investment program,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Felix Ejgel.

The ratings on the bond mirror those on the oblast.  The issue,
to be placed on June 17, 2008, will have 10 semi-annual coupon
payments of 9% per year each, and a five-year maturity.  In June
2009, 10% of the principal will be redeemed, another 10% in June
2010, 15% in June 2011, 40% in June 2012, and the remaining 25%
in June 2013.

The ratings on Moscow Oblast reflect high refinancing needs
under ongoing financial market turbulence.  The oblast also
suffers from low financial flexibility and predictability, with
growing salaries, sizable infrastructure projects, and limited
control over its revenues.

On a positive note, strong economic development and subsequent
fast budget revenue growth support the ratings.  Moreover, the
oblast's long-term economic prospects continue to benefit from
its geographic location, surrounding the City of Moscow
(BBB+/Positive/--).

SEVERSTAL OAO: Esmark Rejects US$17-a-Share Takeover Offer
----------------------------------------------------------
Esmark Inc.'s Board of Directors, with assistance of financial
and legal advisors, has thoroughly reviewed OAO Severstal's
unsolicited conditional tender offer and determined that the
US$17.00 per share cash offer is inadequate in a number of
respects, uncertain with respect to its ability to close, and
contrary to the best interests of Esmark’s stockholders.

Accordingly, the Board recommends that stockholders not tender
any shares to Severstal.

The Board’s recommendation was based upon a number of factors
including the recent announcement by Essar Steel Holding Limited
that it will increase its purchase price to US$19.00 per share
upon execution of a proposed merger agreement with Esmark.  

The basis for the Board’s decision is set forth in Esmark’s
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 being
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  The
Board urges all Company stockholders to read the Schedule 14D-9
carefully so that they will be fully informed before making a
decision.

"We have embarked upon a process to provide maximum value to our
stockholders with the added benefit of providing what is best
for our employees, as well as the communities in which the
Esmark companies are located," James P. Bouchard, Chairman and
CEO of Esmark, said.  "We continue to invite bidders, including
Severstal, to provide a superior proposal to that of Essar."

"To date, Essar has stepped up to the plate for our stockholders
-– first in providing financing to the Company at a critical
time and now by announcing that it will increase its offer to
US$19 per share.  In addition, Essar has committed to provide
over US$500 million of capital investment in the Ohio Valley,"
Mr. Bouchard added.

                         About Severstal

Headquartered in Cherepovets, Russia, OAO Severstal --
http://www.severstal.com/-- is the country's largest steel
producer, with steel production of 17.1 million tons in 2005.
The Company owns Severstal North America, the fifth largest
integrated steel maker in the U.S. with 2005 production of 2.7
million tons, and Lucchini, Italy's second largest steel group

the world's lowest cost and most profitable steel producers,
with 2005 EBITDA per ton of around EUR150 per ton.

                         *     *     *

Unsecured Debt and Probability-of-Default ratings from Moody's

stable.  Moody's raised the company's ratings to its current
level in October 2007.

DENIZBANK AS: Signs EUR150 Million Loan Agreement with EIB
----------------------------------------------------------
Denizbank A.S. disclosed on June 13, 2008, that it signed an
agreement to borrow EUR150 million from European Investment Bank
(EIB), Seeurope.net reports.

According to the report, Denizbank will pay back the loan in 12
years.

Headquartered in Turkey, Denizbank A.S. --
http://www.denizbank.com.tr/-- is 75%-owned by Zorlu Holding -   
a large Turkish conglomerate active in home textiles,
electronics and consumer durables, energy production and
distribution, as well as finance -- with 25% publicly-traded.  

The bank focuses on SME and retail clients, ranking as Turkey's
seventh-largest private bank at end-2005.  It has 244 branches
nationwide, owns banks in Austria and Russia and is engaged in
investment, brokerage, leasing and factoring.

                           *    *    *

Fitch Ratings has affirmed Denizbank A.S.'s ratings at Long-term
foreign currency Issuer Default 'BB', Long-term local currency
IDR 'BBB-', Short-term foreign currency IDR 'B', Short-term
local currency IDR 'F3', National Long-term 'AAA(tur)', Support
'3' and Individual 'C'.  The Outlooks for the Long-term IDRs and
National Long-term rating are Stable.


FORD OTOSAN: Fitch Affirms BB+ IDR and Retains Negative Outlook
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Turkey-based Ford Otosan's Long-term
local currency Issuer Default rating at 'BB+'.  The rating
Outlook remains Negative.

Throughout fiscal year 2007 and the four months to April 2008,
FO maintained its overall leadership in the domestic market.  It
reported 11% revenue growth on a Turkish lira-basis and 9%
volume growth in fiscal year 2007.  Gross margin was flat at
16.5% in fiscal year 2007.  FO reported a slight EBIT margin
drop to 9.5% in fiscal year 2007 from 10.1% in fiscal year 2006.  
It also maintained a sound capital structure and healthy
liquidity.  At fiscal year 2007, FO reported TRY416 million  
gross debt and TRY360 million cash.  The debt maturity profile
does not impose a heavy debt service burden, as most of its debt
maturities are spread out to 2014.  Overall, FO has a sound
standalone operational and financial profile.

The Negative Outlook continues to reflect the brand ownership by
Ford Motor Company (rated 'B'/Negative), as well as the
shareholder relationship between FO and FMC and the export sales
network dependence on FMC.  Deterioration in FMC's rating could
negatively affect FO's rating, given the aforementioned links.  
This will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, and any future
rating or Outlook change in FMC would prompt a review of FO's
rating.

In assessing FO's rating and Outlook, Fitch has also taken its
parent and subsidiary rating linkage criteria into
consideration.  In the case of FO - FMC rating linkage, Fitch
assesses that the parent's weaker financial profile (compared to
the subsidiary) and its weak operational or financial ties with
the subsidiary warrant the rating differential between FMC and
FO.

FMC's 'B' Long-term IDR does not have any direct immediate
impact on FO's financial profile or its ability to continue its
production and delivery operations in Turkey and Europe.  
However, FO's export sales, representing 62% of fiscal year 2007
revenues, remain dependent on FMC's international sales and
distribution network in Europe.

FMC and Koc Group of Turkey exercise joint control in FO with a
41% stake each, while the remaining 18% is quoted on the
Istanbul Stock Exchange.

ALPHASTEEL: Formers Workers Receive GBP2 Million Compensation
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Cardiff Employment Tribunal Community Union, representing
former employees at Alphasteel in Newport, on Friday, June 13,
2008, secured compensation for its members who were thrown on
the scrapheap when the company went bust just before Christmas.

The GBP2 million award is in respect of Alphasteel's failure to
consult with the workforce and Community union before going into
receivership.  The company went into administrative receivership
in December 2007, laying off nearly 400 workers, BBC relates.

The Tribunal Judge ruled that the former workers had been
unfairly treated and should have been consulted prior to the
closure of the plant.

"This is a great victory for Community members who were so badly
treated by Alphasteel; at least now they will receive some
compensation.  The Union's hard fought campaign demonstrates the
value of being a member of a recognized trade union," Michael
Leahy, Community General Secretary said.

"Following the announcement that a bid from Libala Steel has now
been accepted for the former Alphasteel site, Community union
will be working with the official receivers, Welsh Assembly and
the new buyer to secure a sustainable future and bring jobs back
to Newport," Jenny Smith, Community Regional Director said.


BUTLER AND TANNER: Auctions Machinery; MBO Looks Unlikely
---------------------------------------------------------
Butler and Tanner Printers Ltd.'s machinery is being put for
sale through an online auction on June 24 and June 25 amid
uncertainty over a management buy-out by former directors, BBC
News reports.  

BBC says that chances of a management buy-out is looking
increasingly unlikely.

Butler administrator Peter Kubik told BBC "I have a minimum
value for the assets and the MBO team have not reached that
figure."

According to Mr. Kubik, the value of the business and its assets
is expected to rise daily due to costs of running the company in
administration, BBC relates.

Headquartered in Frome, England, Butler and Tanner Printers Ltd.
-- http://www.butlerandtanner.com/-- is a sheet-fed printing    
company specializing in book, brochures, annual reports,
catalogs and fine art.

In May 2008, Andrew Andronikou and Peter Kubik, Partners at UHY
Hacker Young's London office Turnaround and Recovery Department
have been appointed administrators of the assets of Butler and
Tanner Printers Ltd.

UHY Hacker Young was appointed by Butler and Tanner as
administrators after failed attempts to resolve a rancorous
long-running industrial dispute between the company's management
and the union Unite.

The company's proposed changes to workers contracts, which saw
the redundancy of 287 staff, were deemed unacceptable by Unite,
and its members at the company voted in favor of strike action.


CLARIS LIMITED: Moody's Cuts Ratings on Two Note Series
-------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded two series of synthetic
CDO notes issued by Claris Limited and one CDS transaction
entered into by Societe Generale.  

All notes reference the same portfolio, Napa Valley IX.  These
rating actions are in response to continued severe credit
deterioration in the underlying portfolio, which primarily
includes US RMBS and US CMBS bonds, particularly of the 2006
vintage.

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 become known.

These actions are:

Issuer: Claris Limited

   (1) Series 81 Tranche 1 JPY1,000,000,000 Napa Valley IX
       Synthetic CDO of ABS Floating Rate Notes

    -- Current Rating: B3, on review for downgrade
    -- Prior Rating: Ba3, on review for downgrade

   (2) Series 87 Tranche 1 US$10,000,000 Napa Valley IX
       Synthetic CDO of ABS Floating Rate Notes

    -- Current Rating: B2, on review for downgrade
    -- Prior Rating: Ba2, on review for downgrade

Issuer: Societe Generale

   (3) US$54,000,000 Societe Generale Credit Default Swap (Napa
       Valley IX)

    -- Current Rating: Baa3, on review for downgrade
    -- Prior Rating: Aaa, on review for downgrade


DSG INT'L: Fitch Cuts Ratings to BB+ on Declining Credit Metrics
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded UK-based electricals retailer DSG
International plc's Long-term Issuer Default rating to 'BB+'
from 'BBB-' and Short-term IDR to 'B' from 'F3'.  All ratings
have been taken off Rating Watch Negative where they were
originally placed on April 11, 2008.  The Outlook is Negative.

The downgrade reflects the deterioration in DSGi's credit
metrics over the past three years and the minimal improvement
expected over the short-term.  The ratings also consider the
positive measures taken by management in its efforts to turn
around the group over the medium-term and actions taken to
reduce its dividend payout.  The Negative Outlook reflects
DSGi's high lease-adjusted leverage for the rating, continued
price deflation and the challenging consumer environment in the
U.K., which could further dampen the company's recovery efforts.

The group's underlying operating profit margin has been
decreasing to 3.5% in fiscal year 2007 (year to April 28, 2007)
from 4.1% in fiscal year 2005.  Fiscal year 2007's lease-
adjusted leverage deteriorated to 3.6x (fiscal year 2006: 3.2x)
and the group's fixed charge coverage was 2.4x in fiscal year
2007 (2.6x).  Based on the full year trading announcement on May
15, 2008, DSGi's profitability and credit metrics are expected
to deteriorate further for fiscal year 2008 (ended May 3, 2008).
The trading environment remains challenging, particularly in the
UK, Italy and Spain, and consumers have become increasingly
promotion- and deal-driven, impacting gross margins.  Like-for-
like gross margins across the group were down 0.7% year-on-year.
As a result, full year underlying profit before tax for fiscal
year 2008 will be in the range of GBP200 million - 210 million.

On May 15, 2008, DSGi unveiled its renewal and transformation
plan for the group, which included a five-point strategic focus
on its customers, businesses and costs; a 3% - 4% return on
sales in the medium term and dividend reduction by 50%.  
Delivery on this plan may have a positive impact.  However, in
the short-term this is offset by the increase in capex as part
of DSGi's transformation plan, further contributing to its
negative free cash flow position since fiscal year 2007.  Also,
there exist execution risks in its renewal and transformation
plan especially against a tougher economic backdrop.

DSGi's ratings continue to be supported by the group's leading
and dominant positions within the U.K. (approximately 20% of
market share and three times larger than its next U.K. rival,
Kesa) and Nordic consumer electronics markets.  DSGi's liquidity
profile is good given its adequate cash balance (fiscal year
ending 2007: GBP515 million excluding restricted cash for
customer support agreements), and its access to a GBP400 million  
syndicated five-year revolving credit facility due in October
2011.  The facility is undrawn, and contains leverage and fixed
charge cover covenants.  DSGi has only one bond outstanding,
which totals GBP300 million and is due in 2012.


EDGLEY DISTRIBUTION: Shuts Down Operations; 35 Staffs Lost Jobs
---------------------------------------------------------------
Edgley Distribution Express Ltd. has been shut down after going
into receivership, Roadtransport.com reports.  The decision made
35 employees redundant on May 30, 2008.

As previously reported in the TCR-Europe, Christopher Michael
White and Gareth David Rusling of The P&A Partnership were
appointed joint administrators.

The company owed Wakefield Consultants GBP800,000 and GBP200,000
in management charges, the report said.  Its fixed assets worth
GBP754,000 is in the process of being sold, the report adds.

Based in Norfolk, England, Edgley Distribution Express Ltd., is
a road haulage services business.


EUROMANX: 500 Lot Liquidation Auction Slated for June 21
--------------------------------------------------------
Isle of Man Auctions is conducting a liquidation auction at
Euromanx at Ronaldsway at the request of the airline's
liquidator PricewaterhouseCoopers, iomtoday.co.im reports.  

The report adds, 500 lots of items are up for sale including
cabin crew uniforms, an air hostess trolley and a tow bar for a
Dash 8 aircraft.

The auction, iomtoday relates, will commence at 2:00 p.m. on
June 21, 2008.  Viewing will be on June 20, 2008 from noon to
7:00 p.m.

                         Receivership

EuroManx said in its website that as of May 9, 2008, it was
ceasing operations and as a result, no further flights will be
operated.

The company said that despite attempts to "develop and grow the
business," it had faced "insurmountable obstacles" over the last
six months that included increasing costs of fuel prices and a
reduction in the number of passengers.

According to a report by the BBC News, the airline is now
undergoing receivership and has resulted in the loss of around
70 jobs.

EuroManx -- http://www.euromanx.com/-- provides flights from
Isle of Man to locations that includes Belfast, Liverpool,
London and Manchester.


EUROPEAN BAKERIES: Brings In Liquidators from Deloitte & Touche

INVENSYS PLC: Moody's Lifts Corporate Family Rating to Ba1
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the Corporate Family Rating
of Invensys plc to Ba1 from Ba3 on review for possible upgrade
and upgraded a legacy unsecured debt issue rating to Ba2 from B2
acknowledging the company's improved financial and business risk
profile following further deleveraging and the anticipated
refinancing of its bank facilities on an unsecured basis with
less restrictive terms and conditions resulting in a more
simplified debt capital structure combined with the refocusing
and strengthening of its overall business risk profile around 3
principal segments: Industrial Automation, Rail and Controls.
This concludes Moody's review of Invensys ratings announced on
Feb. 8, 2008.  The outlook is stable.

The ratings affected by this rating action are:

   -- A Corporate Family Rating for Invensys plc upgraded to Ba1
      from Ba3 on review for upgrade

   -- A Probability of Default Rating for Invensys plc upgraded
      to Ba1 from Ba3 on review of upgrade

   -- The B2 Rating on the US$bonds due 2010 upgraded to Ba2
      (LGD6) from B2.

The upgrades of the CFR and PDR to Ba1 reflect:

   (i) Invensys' improved financial risk profile following the
       application of proceeds from disposals completed at the
       end of 2007 to the redemption of its high yield bonds
       completed in late March resulting in credit metrics
       having strengthened such that the Debt to EBITDA ratio
       has improved to below 2x from over 3x at FYE 2007 and the
       FCF to Debt ratio has also strengthened materially;

  (ii) The anticipated refinancing in the near future of its
       bank facilities on an unsecured basis with less
       restrictive terms and conditions resulting in a more
       simplified debt capital structure eliminating the
       presence of material secured debt within its capital
       structure; and

(iii) The overall improvement in the outlook and business risk
       profile looking out over the medium term now that
       Invensys has substantially completed its business re-
       engineering and refocused around its 3 principal
       segments: Industrial Automation, Rail and Controls.

The upgrade of the residual US$12.25 million outstanding on a
legacy unsecured bond to Ba2 from B2 -- one notch below that of
the CFR -- reflects the expectation that the credit facility
will have some features usual and customary for banking
facilities such as upstream guarantees resulting in some degree
of structural subordination impacting the unsecured debt issue
rating.

The stable outlook reflects the fact that Invensys is solidly
positioned within the rating category with room to absorb a
degree of volatility in operating performance and cash flow
should that occur over the near to medium term in any of its
business lines.  The ratings and/or outlook could nevertheless
improve over time as a result of (i) demonstrating a sustainable
track record of stable operating performance and (ii)
maintaining the more conservative financial metrics currently
being targeted by the company such that RCF to Debt was to
remain comfortably above 20%, Debt to EBITDA at or below the
2.5x range and Free Cash Flow to Debt sustainably above 10%.  
The ratings and/or outlook could be pressured by substantial
debt financed acquisitions and/or a decline in free cash flow
generation. Additionally, if Debt/EBITDA was to increase
meaningfully over 3.0 times, ratings pressure would develop.

Headquartered in London, England, Invensys plc is the holding
company for a global automation, controls and process system
group that sells a wide range of products and services to
businesses in a number of sectors, including chemical, oil and
gas, power and utilities, telecommunications and rail
transportation.  For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008,
Invensys reported total revenues from continuing operations of
approximately GBP2.1 billion.


KILMINSTER FINANCIAL: Seeks Liquidation at Creditors' Meeting

LBV HEREFORD: Goes Into Liquidation; Left Bank Still Open
---------------------------------------------------------
LBV (Hereford) Ltd., which ran the Left Bank Village complex in
Hereford, has gone into liquidation, Hereford Times reports.  
According to Croft plc director Peter Mycock, Mazars, Hereford
Times adds, was called in to liquidate the company.

Hereford Times relates Croft, which owns the venue, confirmed
that LBV ceased trading on Thursday, June 12, although the Left
Bank continues to operate.

"I am confident that Left Bank, which comprises of the bar,
restaurant and conferencing and banqueting facilities only, can
move forward on a stable and successful footing," Mr. Mycock was
quoted by the Hereford Times as saying.

Hereford Times discloses Croft withdrew and reissued the lease
for the venue after LBV's director Trevor Walker and general
manager Terence Payen left the company in November.

Stuart Wright, the venue's new general manager, however, told
the Hereford Times any outstanding booking would be honored.


SILVERJET PLC: Sale to Kingplace Limited Fails
----------------------------------------------
Joint administrators Nigel Atkinson and Mark Fry of Begbies
Traynor has failed to complete a deal to sell Silverjet Plc to
Kingplace Ltd. and has declared the carrier's entire 420
employees redundant, The Financial Times reports.

According to Mr. Fry, FT reports, Kingplace -- which represents
third-party investors interested in Silverjet -- failed to
convince the U.K. Civil Aviation Authority that it has enough
cash in reserve to guarantee operations.

"As a result of the unusually complex negotiations with third
parties, Kingplace is no longer in a position to acquire
Silverjet as a going concern," Mr. Fry was quoted by FT saying.

TCR-Europe had reported that Kingplace, an Irish firm managed by
Heritage Cie S.A., have to immediately inject between GBP20
million to GBP30 million in fresh financing to win regulatory
approval from the CAA.

Mr. Fry had said Silverjet needs over GBP50 million to resume
operations.

                          About Silverjet

Headquartered in Luton, United Kingdom, Silverjet Plc --
http://www.flysilverjet.com/-- operates flights between London   
and New York and London and Dubai.

23, 2008 that it had yet to receive the proceeds of the US$5.0
million drawdown request made under its loan facility with
Viceroy Holdings LLC.  The company said its working capital
reserves were limited and that advances under the loan facility
were required as a matter of urgency.

                            *********

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.
