KOMMUNALKREDIT AUSTRIA: Fitch Junks Individual Rating
-----------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has placed Kommunalkredit Austria's (KA) Long-term
Issuer Default (IDR) of 'A+' and Short-term IDR of 'F1' on Rating
Watch Evolving (RWE).  This follows KA's ongoing discussions with
the Austrian authorities regarding potential liquidity or capital
support for the bank in light of the government's banking support
package announced earlier this month.

At the same time, Fitch has downgraded KA's Individual rating to
'C' from 'B/C' and placed it on Rating Watch Negative (RWN).

The Support rating and the Support Rating Floor have been affirmed
at '1' and 'A-' (A minus) respectively.  The IDRs of KA's fully-
owned Cyprus-based subsidiary, Kommunalkredit International Bank
Ltd. (KIB), have also been placed on RWE. KIB's Support rating is
affirmed at '1'.  Given the close integration of KIB into KA,
Fitch has not assigned an Individual rating to KIB.  The agency
has also placed EUR50 million perpetual, non-cumulative, non-
voting preferred securities (rated 'A') issued by KIB on RWN.

Fitch expects a public announcement of the outcome of these
discussions in the coming days and the agency will resolve the
respective Rating Watches as and when more information becomes
available.  The Austrian authorities' propensity to support KA and
KIB is, in Fitch's opinion, extremely high.  This reflects KA's
importance to the Austrian economy, through its public sector
lending business and other tasks it performs on behalf of the
Austrian government.

The RWE on KA's and KIB's IDRs reflects Fitch's opinion that there
is an increased possibility that KA will make use of the capital
support being offered by the Austrian authorities.  The resolution
of the RWEs depends on the degree of state involvement -- if any
-- following the conclusion of the discussion between KA and the
Austrian authorities.  Should the Austrian authorities acquire a
majority stake in KA, with the intention to hold this stake over
the long-term, this could put upward pressure on KA's IDRs.  Given
the weakening of KA's stand-alone financial conditions, more
limited involvement of the Austrian state may lead to a downgrade.

The RWN on KA's Individual rating reflects Fitch's opinion that
KA's financial flexibility has been reduced, due to its tighter
liquidity, and reduced access to wholesale markets, where the bank
sources much of its funding.  As a result, Fitch anticipates that
profitability for 2008 and 2009 will be lower.  KA's profitability
is also likely to have suffered from exposure to recently
defaulted bank counterparties.  Further, given challenging capital
market conditions and the effective nationalization of various
other public-sector lenders, Fitch believes KA will, over the
longer term, find it difficult to remain competitive in its
current form, with regards to lending rates and, more importantly,
funding costs.  Fitch will resolve the RWN as soon as more
detailed information on KA's recent performance and access to
capital market funding becomes available.

KA is primarily an Austria-based long-term lender to public
authorities, but also a trustee of government development funds
and a consultant on development projects.  It promotes regional,
particularly environmental, development.  KA's majority
shareholder is VBAG, the central institution of the cooperative
Volksbanken Verbund (rated 'A'/Outlook Stable), Austria's fourth-
largest banking group.  Dexia (rated 'AA-' (AA minus)/Outlook
Stable), through Dexia Credit Local, owns 49% of KA's shares.

Like its parent, KIB focuses on public-sector finance.
Management, risk management policies and systems are largely
identical with those of KA.  KIB is responsible for KA's short-
term funding requirements.

NIPSON SAS: Placed Into Redressment Judiciare by Parent
-------------------------------------------------------
William Mitting at printweek.com reports that Nipson Digital
Printing plc has placed its France-based main operating unit
Nipson SAS into the Redressment Judiciare, the French equivalent
of administration.

According to the report, the company's French manufacturing
division ran into "severe financial constraints" over the past two
months resulting in a debt for equity swap which saw Creacorp, an
investment company with ties to Xeikon manufacturer Punch Graphix,
take a 41.8% stake in the business.

Nipson's finance director Robert Cahill, as cited by
printweek.com, said the initial period of restructuring fixed by
the administrator is six months.  He added Creacorp will
ultimately decide on the direction of the restructuring and
whether that will involve a sale of assets, printweek.com relates.

"The restructuring plan will include a sizable reduction in the
number of employees, although the exact number is yet to be
finalized," Nipson said in a statement released to the stock
exchange.

Nipson Digital Printing Systems plc -- http://www.nipson.com/--
develops and manufactures printing solutions which meet the
quality, speed, reliability, cost and variable content
requirements of the high speed black and white digital printing
market.

From its Manufacturing and R&D plant based in Belfort, France and
with subsidiaries or representative offices in the United States,
Germany, the United Kingdom and Malaysia, Nipson markets its
products and services worldwide, covering more than 70 countries
through a network of value added distributors and/or a strong
direct sales force.

CLOVERIE PLC: Fitch Junks Series 2004 - 72, 77 and 2005-04
----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded Cloverie Plc's (Cloverie) Series
2004-72, 2004-77 and 2005-04:

   -- EUR30 million Series 2004-72 Class C (ISIN: XS0205981581):
      downgraded to 'CCC' from 'BB'; removed from RWN

   -- EUR50 million Series 2004-77 Class C (ISIN: XS0207605162):
      downgraded to 'CCC' from 'BB'; removed from RWN

   -- US$50 million Series 2005-04 Class C (ISIN: XS0212294077):
      downgraded to 'CCC' from 'BB'; removed from RWN

Since the last rating action in May 2008, the reference portfolio
of the three Cloverie transactions has suffered additional
negative rating migration.  The static portfolio consists of 100%
2004 vintage US RMBS Home Equity Loans (HEL) that were initially
rated 'AAA'.  Although most of the portfolio is still rated 'AAA',
credit deterioration in two reference entities has substantially
increased the risk of the CDO tranches.

In addition, the amortization of the underlying portfolio will
continue to reduce the synthetic excess spread which serves as
first loss protection.  For example, the 2008 annual excess spread
is expected to decline to US$1.6 million from US$1.8 million for
2007 and US$2.5 million for 2006.  The excess spread is only
retained for one year -- after which the balance after losses is
transferred to the swap counterparty, Citigroup Global Markets
Limited. Of the original 80 assets in the portfolio, only 44
remain outstanding according to the October 2008 trustee report.

Starting 2009, Fitch expects the combined credit enhancement from
subordination and synthetic excess spread will not be sufficient
to cover the risk of the losses from the portfolio.  Specifically,
there are two positions which continue to pose significant risk -
both are currently rated 'B+' and on RWN.  Credit events on these
positions would lead to the impairment of the three rated CDO
notes.

These transactions are synthetic collateralized debt obligations.
Cloverie is a special purpose vehicle incorporated under the laws
of Ireland.  It has entered into mezzanine credit default swaps
with Citigroup Global Markets Limited.  Each series references an
identical static portfolio of 100% US RMBS HEL originated in 2004.
The notes are backed by eligible collateral securities purchased
with the net proceeds of their issuance.

Deal information and historical performance of each transaction
are available on the agency's subscription CDO S.M.A.R.T. Web site
at http://www.fitchresearch.com/


CLOVERIE PLC: Fitch Cuts Series 26 Notes to 'CCC'
-------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has taken rating action on Cloverie Plc-Ghibli CDO
1's (Cloverie Ghibli) floating-rate portfolio credit-linked notes
due April 2030:

   -- Series 2004-26 (ISIN XS0191537389) downgraded to 'CCC' from
      'BB'; removed from Rating Watch Negative (RWN)

   -- Series 2004-27 (ISIN XS0191536738) affirmed at 'CC'

Fitch's rating action follows continued collateral deterioration
in Cloverie Ghibli's reference portfolio. In particular, since
Fitch's rating action in May 2008 U.S. subprime RMBS, U.S.
alternative A (Alt-A) mortgage loans transactions and U.S.
structured finance collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) have
experienced sustained negative credit migration.

Speculative-grade assets, using Fitch derived ratings, stand at
23.9% of the portfolio as of September 2008.  Of these, assets
rated at 'CCC+' or below have increased to 10.6% of the portfolio
from 7.2%.  In addition, 18 assets are currently on RWN,
representing 23.9% of the portfolio, making further negative
rating migration likely.  All RWN names have been notched down
three notches for the purpose of this analysis.  Furthermore, one
portfolio asset, SAIL 2006-3 M8 (0.07% of the portfolio), has
experienced significant write-downs.  However, no credit event
notice has been served to date.

The portfolio comprises U.S. subprime RMBS (16.8%), Alt-A mortgage
loans (12.5%), and U.S. diversified structured finance CDOs
(13.7%).  U.S. subprime RMBS of the 2005 and 2006 vintages account
for 0.7% and 6.1% of the portfolio, respectively.

Cloverie Plc is a special purpose vehicle (SPV) incorporated under
the laws of Ireland.  This transaction is a partially funded
synthetic CDO referencing a substitutable portfolio of asset-
backed securities obligations with a maximum notional amount of
EUR1.25 billion.  At close, proceeds from the issuance of the
notes were used to collateralize mezzanine credit default swaps
(CDS) between the issuer and Citigroup Global Markets Limited, the
CDS counterparty (guaranteed by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings
Inc., rated 'AA-' (AA minus)/'F1+ '/RWN).

Fitch announced proposals to change its rating methodology for
structured finance (SF) CDOs on October 14, 2008 and, at that
time, noted that the updated approach will apply to CDOs exposed
to all types of global structured finance assets following the
issuance of final criteria.  In this case, Fitch took rating
action prior to the finalization of SF CDO criteria due to
negative portfolio performance.  This transaction is not expected
to see additional rating action due to the pending methodology
change.


DELTA CDO: Fitch Junks Series 2005-2 Ratings
--------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded Delta CDO plc Series 2005-2's (Delta
2005-2) collateralized debt obligations (CDO) and removed them
from Rating Watch Negative (RWN):

   -- Class B-1 (ISIN US24741NAD57) downgraded to 'CC' from 'B';
      removed from RWN

   -- Class C-1 (ISIN US24741NAE31) downgraded to 'CC' from 'B-'
     (B minus); removed from RWN

   -- Class E-1 (ISIN US24741NAG88) affirmed at 'CC'

The transaction, which initially referenced an all-investment
grade structured finance portfolio, has seen a marked increase in
speculative-grade names as a result of continued rating migration
over the past year.  Using Fitch derived ratings, 35 assets,
representing 27.9% of the reference portfolio, are speculative-
grade. Of these 7.3% are rated 'CCC' or below.  In addition, 11
assets or 11.4% of the portfolio are on RWN, making further rating
migration likely.  All RWN names have been notched down by three
notches for the purpose of this analysis.

As of the August 2008 investor report, the reference portfolio
stands at US$1.63 billion and is composed of 115 U.S. structured
finance securities.  The majority of the portfolio is linked to
the U.S. real estate sector: subprime RMBS (residential mortgage-
backed securities) comprise 63.8%, alternative A (Alt-A) mortgage
loans 29.89% and prime RMBS 0.8% of the portfolio notional.

Class B-1 and C-1 have been downgraded to 'CC' from 'B' and 'B-'
(B minus) respectively as the available credit enhancement of
6.14% and 2.76% respectively does not protect against the loss of
the portfolio assets rated 'CCC' and below without impairing the
notes.

The transaction is a funded synthetic securitization of a
portfolio of highly rated asset-backed securities (ABS). At
closing, Deutsche Bank AG ("Deutsche Bank", 'AA-'(AA minus)
/'F1+'/'Outlook Stable') bought protection via four credit default
swap (CDS) agreements on a portfolio with a total value of US$2
billion.  Deutsche Bank entered into the CDS with Delta plc, a
limited liability company incorporated in Ireland.  To fund its
obligations under the CDS agreements, Delta issued credit-linked
notes and entered into asset swaps with Deutsche Bank for each
class of notes.

The ratings address the likelihood of full and timely payment of
interest and ultimate payment of principal of all Classes of notes
by final maturity in 2045.

Fitch announced proposals to change its rating methodology for
structured finance (SF) CDOs on October 14, 2008 and, at that
time, noted that the updated approach will apply to CDOs exposed
to all types of global structured finance assets following the
issuance of final criteria.  In this case, Fitch took rating
action prior to the finalization of SF CDO criteria due to the
negative portfolio performance.  This transaction is not expected
to see additional rating action due to the pending methodology
change.

Fitch's rating Outlook indicates the likely direction of any
rating change over a one- to two-year period and may be Positive,
Negative, Stable or, occasionally, Evolving.

PEAR MORTGAGE: Fitch Affirms 21 Tranches from Dutch RMBS
--------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed 21 tranches from seven Dutch
residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) transactions
following a satisfactory performance review of PEARL Mortgage
Backed Securities I B.V. (Pearl I), PEARL Mortgage Backed
Securities II B.V. (Pearl II), Green Apple B.V., Securitized
Guaranteed Mortgage Loans I B.V. (SGML), Dutch Mortgage Portfolio
Loans I B.V. (DMPL), Shield 1 B.V. and SwAFE I B.V.  The Outlooks
remain Stable.

Affirmations of the ratings on these transactions are based on low
arrears levels as well as extremely low losses realized by more
seasoned transactions.

Delinquencies, defined as mortgage loans that are more than three
months in arrears, remain low in Dutch transactions.  Within the
reviewed transactions, delinquencies ranged from as low as 0.03%
in SwAFE I B.V. as of August 2008 to Shield 1 B.V. at 0.38% as of
October 2008.  Reported losses on these transactions have been
insignificant.

In Pearl I, Pearl II, SGML and Green Apple transactions, all
mortgages benefit from a Nationale Hypotheek Garantie (NHG)
guarantee which covers potential losses mortgage lenders incur on
a guaranteed loan after the sale or foreclosure of a related
property.

It is also important to note that, with the exception of SwAFE I
B.V. and DMPL, all of the reviewed transactions are currently in
their substitution periods.  Once they have reached the end of
their substitution periods, the transactions will be paid
sequentially.  Sequential pay down of the notes is expected to
provide a strong build up of credit enhancement within the
transactions.

The rating actions are:

PEARL Mortgage Backed Securities I B.V.:
Class A (ISIN XS0265250638): affirmed at 'AAA'; Outlook Stable
Class B (ISIN XS0265252253): affirmed at 'BBB-'(BBB minus);

reviewing the deals to assess the level of credit support
available to each class of notes.

RUSAL: Secures US$4.5 Billion Loan Refinancing from VEB
-------------------------------------------------------
United Company RusAl has secured a loan refinancing from state-
owned Vnesheconombank, the Moscow Times and Reuters report.

Citing the Russian press, Nadia Popova at the Moscow Times writes
RusAl borrowed US$4.5 billion from VEB last week to repay a US$4.5
billion syndicated loan it took out from ABN Amro, BNP Paribas,
Credit Suisse, and Merrill Lynch to buy 25% of Norilsk Nickel from
Mikhail Prokhorov in April.  The shares, the Moscow Times
discloses, were pledged as collateral for the loan, which had to
be repaid Friday.

RusAl, which earlier failed to agree a US$1.9 billion club loan
with its relationship banks because of market turmoil, was facing
the threat of handing over the stake in Norilsk to creditors
unless it managed to refinance, a banking source told Reuters Loan
Pricing Corp.

A banking source, as cited by Reuters, said the terms of the VEB
loan were agreed and the loan was put in place on Wednesday.

According to the Moscow Times, the Audit Chamber will oversee the
use of the US$4.5 billion in financing that VEB loaned to RusAl
with auditors Valery Goreglyad and Mikhail Beskhmelnitsyn set to
carry out a review this month.

The financing, Moscow Times notes, is part of a US$50 billion
bailout package provided to VEB by the Central Bank to refinance
the foreign debt of domestic companies.  The maximum loan for any
one company would be US$2.5 billion and must be returned by Dec.
31, 2009, the Moscow Times reveals.

VEB however has not confirmed giving a loan to RusAl, and did not
respond to e-mailed requests for comment.  A RusAl representative,
also declined to comment on the loan issue until VEB itself
report, the Moscow Times adds.

                            About RusAl

http://www.rusal.ru/en/-- is the world's largest producer of
aluminium and alumina, was established in March 2007 following the

SPURT BANK: Fitch Puts 'B-' L-T Foreign Currency IDR on Watch Neg
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has placed Russia-based Spurt Bank's (Spurt) Issuer
Default ratings (IDRs) and Individual rating on Rating Watch
Negative (RWN).  The RWN reflects Fitch's concerns over the bank's
liquidity position in light of an upcoming bond redemption and
recent deposit instability.

Fitch notes, that an early redemption option embedded in Spurt's
RUB1bn domestic bond falls on December 4, 2008, while the bank's
current liquid assets (cash and equivalents and unpledged
government securities) currently only marginally exceed that
amount.  Repayment of maturing term deposits and outflow of
current accounts was also considerable in October (just over RUR1
billion or 24% of the end-September total), while the bank has
drawn down in full its RUR1.4 billion unsecured lending limit from
the Russian Central Bank (CBR).  This credit facility matures in
November, but is expected to be rolled over.

To improve its liquidity position, Spurt needs to stabilize its
deposit base and attract new wholesale funding.  Fitch was
informed that the bank is currently negotiating a credit facility
from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD,
'AAA'/Stable), a shareholder of the bank.  The timing and final
amount of this facility remain uncertain, although Fitch
understands this could be at least US$10 million (around RUR270
million) and may be received in November.  Should this be made in
the form of subordinated debt, the bank may also apply for an
additional subordinated loan from Vnesheconombank (VEB;
'BBB+'/Stable) of up to RUR200 million (15% of regulatory
capital).  Spurt may also secure additional credit facilities from
the CBR (secured by loans) and Russian Bank for Development (under
SME lending program), and it currently has open credit lines from
local commercial banks. Loan repayments to end-November are
estimated at RUR570 million.

If the bank is successful in stabilizing its deposit base,
attracting new wholesale funding and maintaining a reasonable
liquidity cushion after the date of the early redemption option,
then the RWN may be removed and the ratings affirmed.

However, if the liquidity position tightens further, then the
ratings may be downgraded.

Spurt is a small Russian bank, although it has a niche franchise
in the Republic of Tatarstan (RT; 'BBB-' (BBB minus)/Stable).
Since 2005 it has been actively expanding its SME and retail
franchise.  Its capitalization (regulatory ratio of 17.7% at 28
October 2008) and reported asset quality (90-day overdue at 0.5%
of total loans at end-H108) have been sound, while performance
indicators have been quite moderate, undermined by a narrowing net
interest margin and moderate non-interest income.  The largest
stake in Spurt is held by Eugenia Dautova (Chairwoman of the
bank's Management Board, 40% stake); other large shareholders
include the EBRD (28%) and Nizhnekamskneftekhim ('B+'/Positive)
and its employees (holding in aggregate 25%).

Rating actions:

   -- Long-term foreign currency IDR: 'B-' (B minus) placed on
Rating Watch Negative

   -- Short-term foreign currency IDR: 'B' placed on Rating Watch
Negative

   -- Support rating: affirmed at '5'

   -- Individual rating: 'D/E' placed on Rating Watch Negative

* MURMANSK RUSSIA: Fitch Affirms Rating 'BB-'; Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the Russian region of Murmansk's
ratings at Long-term foreign and local currency 'BB-' (BB minus),
and Short-term foreign currency 'B'.  Fitch also affirmed its
National Long-term 'A+(rus)' rating.  The Outlooks for the Long-
term ratings are Stable.

The ratings reflect the high tax concentration and the relatively
low capital expenditure of the region's budget, accompanied by
high budget rigidity and expected growth in contingent
liabilities.  The ratings also factor in the region's strong local
economy with large economic potential, its low debt burden, and
satisfactory budgetary performance.

The Stable Outlooks reflect Fitch's expectation that economic
growth will drive revenue growth, allowing the region to maintain
satisfactory budgetary performance and continue to record strong
debt protection ratios despite a projected increase of indirect
debt.

Murmansk's economy has a strong industrial base (40% of value
added production in 2007), dominated by mining and machinery.

The region is among the top 10 Russian regions in terms of per
capita gross regional product and has ample natural resources.

Unique transportation facilities contribute to the importance of
the region as a transport hub.  At the same time, tax
concentration is high: the 10 largest taxpayers in the regional
budget contributed about 50% of tax proceeds in 2007.  The
region's economy is export-oriented, which leaves it vulnerable to
international market fluctuations.

The region's direct debt is low: as of October 1, 2008, the
region's debt amounted to RUR325 million and consisted solely of
loans from the federal budget.  Murmansk's debt declined to a
negligible 1.1% of current revenue by end-2007 from a peak of
28.3% in 2003.  The region is, however, exposed to additional
contingent risk arising from public sector liabilities. This risk
amounted to RUR1 billion as of January 1, 2008 and will increase
by end-2008 as the region is planning to guarantee a RUR981
million loan from the Nordic Investment Bank to the public company
TEKOS (heating provider) for infrastructure modernization.

The region demonstrated an improved budgetary performance in 2007
with a positive operating balance, equivalent to 9.3% of operating
revenue, up from 6.3% in 2006.  However, budgetary rigidity has
been high as current expenditure averaged 91% of total expenditure
between 2006 and 2007.  Murmansk's capital expenditure declined to
10% of total expenditure in 2007 from an average of 15.5% between
2003 and 2004.  Given a high level of deterioration in the
region's infrastructure, capital expenditure will probably need to
be increased.  There is also little room for cutting back
expenditure as staff expenses and transfers of all kinds accounted
for a high 83% of total expenditure in 2007.

The Murmansk region is located in the northwest part of the
Russian Federation (RF).  The region's capital, the City of
Murmansk, is the fourth-largest sea port in the RF, with a
population over 320,000.  The region contributed 0.7% of the RF's
gross domestic product in 2006 and accounted for 0.6% of its
population.


* RUSSIA: Places RUR170 Million VEB Under Moscow's Rescue Plan
---------------------------------------------------------------
Citing Finance Ministry data, Toni Vorobyova at Reuters reports
that Russia has placed RUR170 million (US$6.41 billion) of the
National Wealth Fund's money on deposit with state bank
Vnesheconombank, as part of Moscow's US$200 billion markets and
economy rescue plan.

The plan, the report notes, includes allocating RUR175 billion
this year for state purchases of shares and corporate bonds.

According to the report, VEB has already received RUR45 billion
such deposits.  The bank, the report says, acts as the agent and
the money deposited with it until 2013.

The rescue packages, the report adds, also allocates RUR950
billion for subordinated loans to Russian banks.  The National
Wealth Fund provides 450 billion of that via 2019 deposits with
VEB.  So far RUR125 billion have been placed on such deposits, the
report states.

Both types of deposit pay the fund 7% interest, the report
reveals.

The National Wealth Fund stood at US$62.82 billion, including the
VEB deposits, while Russia's Reserve Fund totaled US$134.60
billion.  The two oil wealth funds together were worth RUR5.24
trillion (US$197.4 billion) as of Nov. 1, the report discloses.


* RUSSIA: Electricity Distributors at Risk of Going Bankrupt
------------------------------------------------------------
Citing Integrated Energy System president Mikhail Slobodin,
Nadia Popova at the Moscow Times reports that electricity
distributors in Russia are facing bankruptcy early next year
because of cash flow problems as consumers delay payments for
supplies.

Mr. Slobodin said Tuesday at a Federation Council round table on
problems in the electricity sector, distributors will need some
RUR30 billion (US$1.1 billion) in the fourth quarter to refinance
debt, the report notes.

"The distributors will all be bankrupt in the first quarter of
2009," Mr. Slobodin was quoted by the report as saying.

According to Mr. Slobodin, consumers delayed 15% of payments to
IES distribution this month, while Smolensk Energy Distribution
Company deputy general director Alexander Shkolnikov disclosed 18%
of payments to Smolensk Energy Distribution Company were being
delayed, the report reveals.

Mr. Slobodin, the report relates, warned distributors will either
underpay the generators or the grids or may end up with generators
having nothing to pay for the fuel.  He described the situation as
"very bad," and that "serious crisis management" was needed.

Meanwhile, Dmitry Ponomaryov, head of the Market Council, a
government watchdog for the sector, said the Energy Ministry and
the council are in talks with with state banks about discounted
loans of RUR35 billion to RUR40 billion for the fourth quarter of
this year and the first quarter of 2009 for the distribution
companies, the report adds.

CAJAMAR CAJA: Fitch Affirms Individual Rating at 'B'
----------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Cajamar Caja Rural, Sociedad
Cooperativa de Credito's ratings at Long-term Issuer Default (IDR)
'A', Short-term IDR 'F1', Individual 'B', Support '3' and Support
Rating Floor 'BB'.  The Outlook for the Long-term IDR is Stable.

Cajamar's ratings reflect its strong retail franchises in Almeria,
Malaga and Murcia, consistently good profitability, healthy asset
quality and robust capital base.  They also reflect real estate
concentration and a certain reliance on short-term ECB (European
Central Bank) funding.

The Stable Outlook reflects Fitch's view that Cajamar's track
record of good profitability and robust capital adequacy are
sustainable.  If management does not succeed in lengthening
current reliance on short-term financing, Cajamar's Individual
rating could be downgraded.  Cajamar's ratings could also feel
downward pressure from a failure to transform real estate exposure
into mortgages to individuals, and from a higher-than-expected
deterioration in asset quality and profitability.

Cajamar's good pre-impairment operating profitability in H108 was
assisted by a wider net interest margin and a controlled cost
base.  Its cost/income ratio remained sound at 55%.

Despite an abrupt slowdown in the Spanish economy and housing
sector, asset quality remained healthy at end-H108, with an
impaired/total loans ratio of 1.8% (coverage: 120%), aided by
Cajamar's in-depth knowledge of the key areas in which it
operates.  Exposure to the construction and real estate sectors
remains at 25% of total lending at end-H108, although comfort is
derived from its sound collateral, its residential nature and the
small size of the projects.  Further diversification comes from
52% of total loans being to individuals and low risk concentration
by borrower.

Cajamar's liquidity has tightened, although it benefits from a
large and stable deposit base (64% of lending, excluding
securitizations) and well-diversified by maturity long-term
wholesale funding sources.  Cajamar has also built up a EUR4.2
billion portfolio of discountable assets at the ECB, of which EUR2
billion were used at end-H108.

Capital adequacy is robust, with a Basel II total ratio of 12.7%
at end-H108, and a Tier 1 ratio of 9.9% consisting entirely of
core capital.

Cajamar is Spain's largest rural credit cooperative and its
banking activities are predominantly retail.  Headquartered in
Almeria (Andalusia), where it has a market share of 33%, Cajamar
also has good franchises in Malaga, Murcia and Valladolid (market
shares of 8%, 11.5% and 5.6%, respectively).  At end-H108, Cajamar
had 912 branches.

GENERAL MOTORS: Merger Talks Proceed; Cerberus Halts Nissan Talks
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Chrysler LLC's parent, Cerberus Capital Management LP, has ended
talks with Nissan Motor Co., Jeff Bennett and John Stoll at The
Wall Street Journal reports, citing a person familiar with the
discussions.

According to WSJ, the sources said that Cerberus Capital wants to
focus on merger discussions with General Motors Corp.

WSJ relates that Cerberus Capital has been negotiating with Nissan
since the start of the year about having Chrysler join the Nissan-
Renault SA alliance.  The three companies, says WSJ, had agreed
that Chrysler will produce pickup trucks for Nissan, while Nissan
will make a compact car for Chrysler.

Carlos Ghosn, Nissan and Renault's CEO, has dismissed reports of
talks with Chrysler as speculation, WSJ states.

        Treasury Won't Negotiate Financial Aid for Merger

A government official said on Thursday that the U.S. Treasury
Department won't negotiate with GM and the owners of Chrysler on a
request to provide direct government financial support to their
merger, David Lawder at Reuters reports.

Industry sources said that GM had asked for US$10 billion in a
government rescue package to support its acquisition of Chrysler
from Cerberus Capital Management, Reuters states.  According to
the report, the request was viewed as above the US$25 billion in
funds to allow the automakers to produce fuel-efficient vehicles.
Citing the official, Reuters relates that the government is
working to accelerate the distribution to automakers of US$25
billion in factory retooling funds authorized by Congress in
September.

According to Reuters, the Treasury confirmed that automakers'
financial companies like GMAC LLC and Chrysler Financial would
qualify to sell distressed assets to the Treasury when it launches
reverse auctions under its US$700 billion market bailout program.
Reuters relates that the finance arms must be registered as
federally regulated bank holding companies to qualify for a
capital injection under the US$250 billion equity purchase portion
of the bailout program.  Previous reports say that GMAC said that
it was seeking the bank holding company designation.

        Steve Girsky to Advise Union on Merger Talks

According to WSJ, the United Auto Workers union is preparing to
weigh in on a potential GM-Chrysler merger, which would likely
result in thousands of layoffs at Chrysler.  Citing people
familiar with the matter, WSJ relates that the union retained
Steve Girsky as adviser on the talks.  WSJ states that he will
assist UAW President Ron Gettelfinger in evaluating the talks
between GM and Chrysler.  The report says that Mr. Gettelfinger
has spoken out against the merger.

Mr. Girsky is president of Centerbridge Industrial Partners in New
York.  Mr. Girsky is a board member of Dana Corp.  Mr. Girsky
was a former adviser to GM Chief Executive Rick Wagoner and helped
the CEO in forming a restructuring plan for GM.

A person familiar with the matter said that UAW has begun meetings
with the auto makers hoping to "get a grasp of the situation," WSJ
reports.

                    About Chrysler LLC

Headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, Chrysler LLC --
http://www.chrysler.com/-- a unit of Cerberus Capital
Management LP, produces Chrysler, Jeep(R), Dodge and Mopar(R)
brand vehicles and products.  The company has dealers worldwide,
including Canada, Mexico, U.S., Germany, France, U.K., Argentina,
Brazil, Venezuela, China, Japan and Australia.

                       *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 11, 2008,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on Chrysler
LLC, including the corporate credit rating, to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.

On July 31, 2008, TCR said that Fitch Ratings downgraded the
Issuer Default Rating of Chrysler LLC to 'CCC' from 'B-'.  The
Rating Outlook is Negative.  The downgrade reflects Chrysler's
restricted access to economic retail financing for its vehicles,
which is expected to result in a further step-down in retail
volumes.  Lack of competitive financing is also expected to result
in more costly subvention payments and other forms of sales
incentives.  Fitch is also concerned with the state of the
securitization market and the ability of the automakers to access
this market on an economic basis over the near term, given the
steep drop in residual values, higher default rates, higher loss
severity being experienced and jittery capital market.

EXETER BLUE: Fitch Places 'BB' Rating on EUR8.5MM Class E Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned Exeter Blue Limited's EUR125.9 million
floating rate notes due 2025 final ratings.  The transaction is a
managed securitization of public private partnership/public
finance initiative (PPP/PFI) and project finance loans
predominantly located in western Europe and North America.

   -- EUR31.875 million Class A: 'AAA'; Outlook Stable
   -- EUR31.875 million Class B: 'AA'; Outlook Stable
   -- EUR26.5625 million Class C: 'A'; Outlook Stable
   -- EUR10.625 million Class D: 'BBB'; Outlook Stable
   -- EUR8.5 million Class E: 'BB'; Outlook Stable

The ratings are based on the credit enhancement available to the
Class A through E notes in the form of subordination, structural
covenants and excess spread.  Although excess spread is used only
to offset principal losses on the subordinated notes (which are
not rated), the Class A through E notes benefit as losses on the
subordinated notes that are offset may partially or fully restore
the original credit enhancement levels.

The ratings also take into account the quality and diversity of
the portfolio of assets.  The closing portfolio has significant
concentration in the PPP/PFI energy and transport sectors as well
as significant single obligor exposure where the top five obligors
comprise approximately 23% of the portfolio.  The transaction
allows for a replenishment period of four years during which
Lloyds TSB may reference additional assets or increase exposure to
existing assets as a result of amortizations in the initial
portfolio.

The issuer is a company with limited liability, incorporated under
the laws of Jersey.  At closing, the issuer enters into six credit
default swaps with Lloyds TSB ('AA+' / 'F1+'/Rating Watch
Negative) where Lloyds TSB buys protection on a reference
portfolio of EUR1,062.5 million.  Each credit default swap
corresponds to one of five classes of rated notes and the sole
class of subordinated notes.  The notional amount corresponding to
the most senior level of the capital structure (the senior
exposure) will not be issued and sold to any noteholder, although
it will be considered in making determinations related to the
credit default swaps.  The note issuance proceeds will be held in
a deposit account with Lloyds TSB over which all rated notes will
have a contractual right.

The ratings of the notes address the likelihood that investors
will receive full and timely payments of interest and ultimate
repayment of principal by the legal final maturity date according
to the terms of the notes.

A copy of the presale report for this transaction is available on
the agency's public Web site, http://www.fitchratings.com/

LEHMAN: MFA Meets Administrator to Tackle Administration Issues
---------------------------------------------------------------
Managed Funds Association (MFA) on Tuesday, October 28, hosted, in
conjunction with Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, a discussion and Q&A
session with Mr. Tony Lomas, one of the administrators of Lehman
Brothers International Europe (LBIE).  During a trip last week to
England, MFA invited Mr. Lomas, a partner at
PricewaterhouseCoopers, to come to the U.S. to meet with MFA
members, and others, regarding the LBIE administrators' efforts to
return an estimated US$40-70 billion in client assets frozen in
the UK as the result of the insolvency of Lehman Brothers, Inc.
At that meeting, MFA urged the consideration of options to
expedite the bankruptcy resolution process.  MFA also encouraged
Mr. Lomas to take steps to improve communication and provide
greater transparency to the LBIE administration process.  While in
the UK, MFA also met with representatives from the FSA and
Treasury to discuss the administration of LBIE and its impact on
the UK prime brokerage industry and global financial markets.

Richard H. Baker, MFA President and CEO said, "We are grateful
that Tony accepted our invitation to come to New York to address
the concerns and questions so many of our members have regarding
the administration of LBIE.  We believe his visit is indicative of
an overall commitment to reduce uncertainty, and we appreciate his
willingness to listen to our concerns and recommendations toward
an efficient resolution to this problem."

Mr. Lomas said, "I welcomed the opportunity to come to the U.S. to
discuss these important issues.  I recognize that there has been
considerable confusion and frustration for some regarding the UK's
administration process.  My visit was intended to assure MFA
members that we are committed to hearing their views, responding
to their inquiries, and ensuring that the administration process
is well-informed and moving as expeditiously as possible under our
legal authority."

On October 13, MFA sent a letter to the Bank of England urging
intervention to expedite the release of billions of dollars in
assets frozen in the UK as the result of the insolvency of Lehman
Brothers, Inc.  MFA's letter offered recommendations for an
expedited administration process that would reduce systemic risk,
inject much-needed liquidity and financial stability into capital
markets and promote the ongoing viability of the UK’s prime
brokerage industry.  In its letter, which can be found at
www.managedfunds.org/latest-developments.asp, MFA encouraged the
Lehman administrator, PwC, to take immediate action to reduce the
uncertainty and mitigate systemic risk by distributing these
assets in an expedited manner.

NAPA VALLEY: Fitch Cuts Claris Series Notes to 'CCC'
----------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded Claris Series 59 Napa Valley V
Synthetic CDO of ABS's EUR40 million floating-rate notes (ISIN:
XS0234280088), due 2025, to 'CCC' from 'BB' and removed them from
Rating Watch Negative (RWN).

The downgrade reflects continued collateral deterioration in
Claris Series 59's reference portfolio.  In particular, U.S.
subprime RMBS (residential mortgage-backed securities) and U.S.
Alternative A (Alt-A) mortgage loan transactions have experienced
sustained negative credit migration over the last year.

Further migration is expected as nine names, or 9.7% of the
portfolio, are on RWN.  As of the October 1, 2008 investor report,
the portfolio contains three names in the speculative grade.  One
asset is rated in the 'BB' category (1.45 % of the portfolio), one
in the 'B' category (1.28%), while the lowest-rated asset (1.45%)
is rated in the 'CCC' category.  Two of the assets are also on
RWN.  All RWN names are notched down by three notches for the
purpose of this analysis.  Furthermore, the credit enhancement
level available to the Series 59 notes of 1.82% would only be able
to sustain the total loss of one portfolio asset before the notes
would be impaired.

The portfolio comprises U.S. subprime RMBS (21.4%) and prime RMBS
(2.5%), Alt-A mortgage loans (18.4%), ABS or asset-backed
securities (17.3%) and CMBS (commercial mortgage-backed
securities) (40.4%).  At close in November 2005, all assets were
rated 'AAA'.

At close, Claris Ltd., a public limited company incorporated in
Jersey, entered into a credit default swap (CDS) agreement with
French bank Societe Generale (SG; rated 'AA-' (AA minus)/Outlook
Stable/'F1+') under which SG bought EUR40 million of protection on
the EUR2.05bn reference portfolio.  The portfolio is managed by SG
for the first seven years of the transaction, during which ABS are
replaced or replenished, subject to portfolio guidelines.

Fitch announced proposals to change its rating methodology for
structured finance (SF) CDOs on October 14, 2008 and, at that
time, noted that the updated approach will apply to CDOs exposed
to all types of global structured finance assets following the
issuance of final criteria.  In this case, Fitch took rating
action prior to the finalization of SF CDO criteria due to
negative portfolio performance.  This transaction is not expected
to see additional rating action due to the pending methodology
change.


NEW STAR: May Breach Banking Covenants, Analyst Says
----------------------------------------------------
Martin Flanagan at the Scotsman reports that fund manager New
Start Asset Management may have to restructure its bank lending
covenants or end up breaching them.

According to the report, an analyst warned that when the FTSE 100
is between about 4,000 and 4,400, New Star could breach its
banking covenants.  The analyst added "a key driver of value in
the fund management sector is funds under management.  If equities
drop it impacts revenues."

The group's assets under management fell 14% to GBP19.8 billion in
the first six months of this year, the report says.

Meanwhile, another analyst cautioned that if New Star did breach
its covenants it would have to pay 1.5% more interest on its loans
"substantially raising costs, such that it could become loss-
making," the report discloses.

However, another analyst contended that using the FTSE 100 at
4,000 as a "proxy for when New Star could get into trouble with
its covenants is too imprecise," as about 50% of the fund
manager's investments were in equities.  The analyst added such a
measure "also assumes a static cost base when most fund managers
must be looking to reduce their costs."

The Footsie, the report relates, closed Wednesday, October 29, up
280 points at 4,206.  New Star's shares trod water at 29.75 pence
against a 52-week high of 362 pence, the report notes.

New Star owes about GBP220 million to five main banks, thought to
include Royal Bank of Scotland and HBOS, the report reveals.

The fund manager, whose dividend was slashed from 4 pence to 1
pence, is also thought to implement further cost-cutting measures,
the report adds.

New Star Asset Management -- http://www.newstaram.com/-- is a UK
fund manager, offering a wide range of investment products for
retail and institutional investors.

                            *********

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.
