STORA ENSO: S&P Puts 'BB+' Corporate Rating on Negative Watch
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it had placed its
'BB+' long-term corporate credit ratings on Finland-based forest
product company Stora Enso Oyj on CreditWatch with negative
implications. At the same time, the 'B' short-term corporate
credit ratings were affirmed.
"The CreditWatch placement reflects the high probability of a
downgrade following the company's first quarter 2009 results
announcement," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Andreas
Zsiga.
"The results imply deepening underperformance in relation to S&P's
targets for the 'BB+' rating and further weakening demand and
pricing prospects in light of rapidly contracting economic
conditions. As a result, S&P consider it increasingly unlikely
that Stora Enso's financial profile will recover to become
adequate for the 'BB+' rating, despite reduced input costs and
increasingly aggressive cost cutting and cash preservation
measures," Mr. Zsiga said.
Stora Enso's operating cash flows have been increasingly strained
by sales and margin pressure, resulting in weak debt coverage for
the ratings. The deteriorating trend continued in the first
quarter of 2009. Sales declined by about 25% compared with the
corresponding period in 2008, while the company's EBITDA margin
dropped to 6% from 10.5%.
Overall, paper and packaging demand has weakened drastically
during the past six months. S&P believes that this is partly
attributable to inventory reduction throughout the supply chain.
S&P believes that there has been a significant drop in underlying
consumption as well.
S&P expects to resolve the CreditWatch placement over the next 30
days, during which S&P will consider the market situation and
input from Stora Enso's management, focusing on the company's
business prospects, its strategy for coping with the recessionary
environment, and the possible implications for the company's
earnings, cash flow, and debt levels. Any downgrade is likely to
be limited to one notch.
S&P will assess Stora Enso's underperformance relative to S&P's
expectations for a 'BB+' rating, a downward revision of S&P's
financial base-case scenario for the company and the increased
likelihood of a weaker stress case scenario, and a possible
adverse revision of the company's business risk score.

ESCADA AG: Unveils Refinancing Package
--------------------------------------
Reuters reports that Escada AG has a launched a broad refinancing
package.
In a press release on April 23 Escada said to ensure its survival,
the company requires around EUR30 million to cover its liquidity
demands for the current fiscal year, plus a significant reduction
of the group's debt and a secured mid- to long-term financial
platform for the group.
According to Reuters, Escada plans to raise around EUR30 million
in a capital increase in July. The company, Reuters says, is also
asking creditors to take a cut in bond repayments and is
negotiating with banks on existing and new credit lines. Reuters
notes the company said details were "still being fine-tuned".
Capital Increase
On March 19, 2009, the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe, citing
Reuters, reported that German billionaire brothers Wolfgang and
Michael Herz plan to participate in a capital increase at Escada
after the fashion group reported wider fourth quarter and full
year losses. The Herz family holds a combined 24.9 percent stake
in the company but still aims to keep its shareholding below 30
percent, Reuters said citing a person familiar with the matter.
Reuters disclosed the source said the Herz brothers want other
shareholders to take up new Escada shares in proportion to their
percentage stakes. Reuters noted according to the company,
shareholders Wolfgang and Michael Herz are willing to invest up to
EUR20 million if they get permission from the German financial
watchdog BaFin to forego a takeover offer for the remaining
shareholders.
Wider Losses
Escada's net loss in the three months through January swelled to
EUR6.3 million (US$8.2 million) from EUR4 million a year earlier,
Bloomberg News reported citing a company statement. Sales for the
current quarter fell 7.5 percent to EUR131.5 million. Net loss in
the fiscal year that ended Oct. 31 widened to EUR70.3 million from
EUR27 million and sales fell 15 percent to EUR582.5 million, the
report said.
"These sales and earnings are unsatisfactory," the report quoted
Chief Executive Officer Bruno Saelzer as saying in a conference
call. "They highlight the urgent need to act and justify a
refocus."
Escada has been talking to its banks about a short- and mid- term
strategy, Chief Financial Officer Markus Schuerholz said as cited
by the report. The report stated management will propose reducing
Escada's capital to EUR58 million from EUR107 million to remove a
shortage of subscribed capital resulting from a balance sheet loss
of EUR48.9 million last fiscal year. The measure will be put to
its annual general meeting on April 28, the report noted.
About Escada AG
Headquartered in Aschheim, Germany, ESCADA AG (FRA:ESC) --
http://www.escada.com/-- is a fashion group engaged in women's
designer fashion. Under its core brand ESCADA, the Company sells
women's designer fashions for daytime, evening, business, leisure,
sports, wellness and special occasions, as well as couture. The
fashion range is supplemented with accessories like handbags,
shoes and small leather goods. Fragrances, eyewear, kids wear and
jewelry from licensed partners are also sold under the ESCADA
brand. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, PRIMERA AG, the
Company additionally sells the mid-priced brands apriori, BiBA,
cavita and Laurel. ESCADA AG has 194 own shops and 226 franchise
shops in approximately 60 countries. Its manufacture capacities
are mainly outsourced to partner operations, located in Germany,
Italy, Eastern Europe and Asia.
TCR-Europe reported on Dec. 26, 2008, that Moody's Investors
Service downgraded the Corporate Family Rating, the Probability
Default Rating of Escada AG and the senior unsecured rating on the
EUR200 million notes due 2012 to Caa2 from B3. The outlook on the
ratings remains negative.
On Dec. 22, 2008, TCR-Europe reported that Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services lowered its long-term corporate credit rating on
German high-end women's fashion designer and retailer ESCADA AG to
'CCC+' from 'B-' due to the company's ongoing operating
underperformance. The outlook is negative.
ESCADA AG: S&P Downgrades Corporate Credit Rating to 'CC'
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it has lowered its
corporate credit rating on German high-end women's fashion
designer and retailer ESCADA AG to 'CC' from 'CCC+'. The outlook
is negative.
At the same time, S&P lowered its issue-level rating on the
company's EUR200 million senior unsecured notes due 2012 to 'CC'
from 'CCC+'. The recovery rating of '3' on the notes remains
unchanged, indicating that lenders can expect meaningful (50%-70%)
recovery in the event of a payment default. The recovery rating
will be reviewed as additional information regarding the proposed
exchange becomes available.
The downgrade follows the company's recent announcement of a
public offer for conversion of the EUR200 million bond into a new
bond to "significantly reduce the burden of debt". According to
company information, the conditions of the exchange offer are not
finalized yet but are targeting to relinquish the repayment "of a
significant portion of the bond".
"Under our ratings criteria, S&P consider this proposed debt
restructuring to be a distressed exchange and, as such, tantamount
to a default," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Diego Festa.
The rating outlook is negative. "On completion of the transaction,
S&P would expect to lower the ratings on the unsecured notes to
'D', default," said Mr. Festa. S&P could also lower the corporate
credit rating to 'SD' (selective default), should the company
continue to honor its debt obligations. As soon as is practical
thereafter, and following S&P's review of the revised liability
structure, S&P would reassess Escada's capital structure and
liquidity profile and assign new ratings, based on the amount of
notes the company successfully tendered.

CHARTBUSTERS: Court to Hear Survival Scheme Today
-------------------------------------------------
Mary Carolan at the Irish Times reports that the High Court will
hear a survival scheme for Chartbusters Ltd. today, April 28.
The report relates Mr. Justice Peter Kelly on Thursday adjourned
the hearing to consider whether to approve a survival scheme for
the group after being told by Rossa Fanning, for examiner Neil
Hughes, his client needed time to address certain matters.
According to the report, approval of the scheme could save up to
172 jobs. The court, the report discloses, was also told by Mr.
Fanning that a situation had arisen where court protection should
be lifted for one of the companies in the group, a non-trading
leasehold holding company, Stanway Holdings Ltd (SHL). The report
states Mr. Fanning said the order lifting court protection for SHL
might affect "at worst" 15 jobs in two stores in Phibsboro and
Tallaght.
Lease Agreements
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on April 8
2009, the Irish Times said the court granted Chartbusters
permission to seek orders revoking lease agreements for premises
the company no longer needs to allow the examiner to finalize a
scheme of arrangement. The report disclosed if the scheme is
approved by the company's creditors and the court, Chartbusters
will be restructured and 23 of its 36 home entertainment stores
may be saved.
The premises Chartbusters leased include premises at Golden Island
Shopping Centre in Athlone; Carrigaline, Co Cork; Christchurch,
Dublin; Crescent Shopping Centre, Limerick; the Maple Centre,
Dublin; Anne Street, Newbridge, Co Kildare; O’Hagan House,
Ranelagh, Dublin; and Terenure Place, Dublin, the report stated.
The stores in Athlone and Carrigaline were closing, while the
stores in Newbridge, the Maple Centre and Terenure were now
closed, according to the report. The premises in Christchurch,
Limerick and Ranelagh were never occupied, the report noted.
The report related Mr. Justice Garrett Sheehan granted the company
permission to serve short service to all relevant parties,
including the court-appointed examiner, of the proceedings.
In an affidavit to the court, Richard Murphy, a director and
shareholder of Chartbusters, as cited in the report, said the
examiner, Neil Hughes, had indicated to the company that before he
could finalize a scheme of arrangement, it should apply to the
High Court to have several of the company's leases repudiated.
About Chartbusters
Based in Dublin, Ireland, Chartbusters Ltd., ran 37 home
entertainment stores and employed 267 workers as of January 2009.
Chartbusters was incorporated in July 1993 and started with two
stores in Blanchardstown and Tallaght. By 2002, it had 50 stores
grossing a profit of EUR11 million.
On Jan. 29, 2009, the TCR-Europe, citing the Irish Times, reported
that Mr. Justice Peter Kelly granted court protection to
Chartbusters. Mr. Justice Kelly appointed Neil Hughes as examiner
to the company. Mr. Justice Kelly, as cited in the report, said
the company was insolvent and would have a shortfall between
assets and liabilities of some EUR246,000 as a going concern and
of some EUR4.8 million if wound up. The judge, the report noted,
agreed to appoint an examiner after reports from the independent
account and interim examiner expressed the view the company had a
reasonable prospect of survival if certain conditions, including
the closure of 17 of its 37 stores, are met.
EUROCONNECT ISSUER: Moody's Reviews 'Ba2' Rating on Class D Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has placed under review for possible
downgrade its ratings of four classes of notes issued by
EuroConnect Issuer LC 2007-1 Limited.
The transaction is a synthetic Balance Sheet CDO referencing a
EUR4,264.8 million pool of bank originated corporate and SME
loans; although replenishments are permitted until June 2011,
Moodys's Investors Service understands that being in breach of the
replenishment test, the portfolio is static at present.
The rating actions reflect the deterioration in the credit quality
of the transaction's reference portfolio, as indicated by the
increase in the average rating factor from 477 (at closing in
August 2007 on a pool size of EUR6,206.6 million) to 753 (February
2009 on a pool size of 4,264.8 million) and the revision of
certain key assumptions that the agency uses to rate and monitor
corporate CDOs. The increase is the rating factor is in part
mitigated by the amortization of the pool as detailed above.
These revised assumptions incorporate Moody's expectation that
European and global corporate default rates are likely to greatly
exceed their historical long-term averages and reflect the
heightened interdependence of credit markets in the current global
economic contraction.
Specifically, the changes include: (1) a 30% increase in the
assumed likelihood of default for corporate credits in CDOs (2) an
increase in the degree to which ratings are adjusted according to
other credit indicators such as rating Reviews and Outlooks and
(3) an increase in the default correlation applied to corporate
portfolios as generated through a combination of higher default
rates and increased asset correlations.
These revised assumptions are described in greater detail in the
press release published on January 15, 2009. Moody's notes that
the global corporate loan sector currently has a negative outlook
and has shown signs of increasing weakness in terms of credit
performance. The sector is further stressed by the anticipated
limited refinancing opportunities for EMEA corporate issuers over
the next six to twelve months.
In addition, for the majority of the underlying referenced assets,
the equivalent Moody's ratings used in Moody's analysis are
obtained through a mapping process between the originator's
internal rating scale and Moody's public rating scale. To
compensate for the absence of credit indicators such as ratings
reviews and outlooks in mapped ratings, a half notch stress was
applied to the mapping scale.
Moody's initially analyzed and continues to monitor this
transaction using primarily the methodology and its supplements
for corporate synthetic CDOs as described in Moody's Special
Reports and press releases below:
-- Moody's Approach To Rating Corporate Collateralized Synthetic
Obligations (December 2008)
-- Framework for De-Linking Hedge Counterparty Risks from Global
Structured Finance Cashflow Transactions (May 2007)
The rating actions are:
EuroConnect Issuer LC 2007-1 Limited
-- EUR310,350,000 Class A Floating Rate Credit Linked Notes due
2026, Aaa and Placed Under Review for Possible Downgrade;
previously on August 20, 2007 Assigned Aaa

INDEPENDENT NEWS: Seeks Refinancing of EUR200 Million Bond
----------------------------------------------------------
Rowena Mason at Telegraph.co.uk reports that Independent News &
Media Plc's shareholders, Denis O'Brien and Sir Anthony O'Reilly,
may either put up some personal assets as security or contribute
to the repayment of the company's EUR200 million (GBP180 million)
bond.
The repayment of the 10-year bond, which carried a coupon of
5.75pc, is officially due on May 17, Telegraph.co.uk discloses.
INM, Telegraph.co.uk relates, has already deferred publication of
its full-year figures, as bankers from NM Rothschild continue to
negotiate with bondholders and advise on how to service its GBP1.2
billion debt. Telegraph.co.uk says sources suggest auditors may
be unwilling to state that the company is a "going concern" if it
has not refinanced the bond by the time it releases its results.
The Irish Times notes that according to Mr. O'Brien, refinancing
the EUR200 million bond was "the first step" in restructuring
INM's balance sheet.
Telegraph.co.uk reports that while new arrangements could give a
much better deal to bondholders if they agree to give INM more
time to meet its obligations, Mr. O'Brien, who owns a quarter of
the company, has claimed that there is only a 50 percent chance
that negotiations will succeed. Telegraph.co.uk says if no
agreement is reached, the company, whose shares have fallen by
almost 90 percent over the last year, will be in default.

ALMATY GIPER: Creditors Must File Claims by May 29

BTA BANK: Fitch Cuts Long-Term Issuer Default Rating to 'RD'
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded Kazakhstan-based BTA Bank's Long-term
Issuer Default Ratings to 'RD' (Restricted Default) from 'CC',
thereby resolving the Watch Negative on the rating.
The downgrade follows BTA's the announcement that it has decided
to cease principal payments on wholesale financial obligations
until it agrees and implements a restructuring of these
obligations. The bank's IDRs will remain on 'RD' until BTA has
completed the expected restructuring of its outstanding debt and,
in Fitch's opinion, is able to comply with new terms negotiated
with its creditors.
Rating actions are:
-- Long-term foreign and local currency IDRs downgraded to 'RD'
from 'CC'; removed from RWN
-- Short-term foreign and local currency IDRs downgraded to 'RD'
from 'C'; removed from RWN
-- Individual rating affirmed at 'F'
-- Support rating affirmed at '5'
-- Support Rating Floor affirmed at 'No Floor'
-- Senior unsecured debt downgraded to Long-term 'C' from 'CC';
removed from RWN; Recovery Rating at 'RR4'
-- Senior unsecured debt affirmed at Short-term 'C';
-- Tier 1 perpetual preferred securities: affirmed at Long-term
'C'; removed from RWN Recovery Rating at 'RR6'
BTA BANK: S&P Lowers Counterparty Credits Rating to 'D'
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it had lowered its
long- and short-term counterparty credit ratings on Kazakhstan-
based BTA Bank J.S.C. to 'D' from 'CC' and 'C' respectively after
BTA announced a standstill in the scheduled and accelerated
principal components of its debt. The ratings were removed from
CreditWatch, where they were placed with negative implications on
March 20, 2009.
At the same time the ratings on BTA's subsidiaries, Temirbank JSC
and BTA Ipoteka Mortgage Co., were affirmed at 'CC/Watch Neg/C'.
"We understand that BTA imposed a standstill on principal
payments, including scheduled maturities, on its foreign and
domestic wholesale debt with effect from April 20, 2009 until it
implements a group-wide debt restructuring plan," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Annette Ess.
According to S&P's definition, a 'D' rating is assigned when S&P
believes that any default will be a general default and that the
obligor will fail to pay all or substantially all of its
obligations as they come due. S&P's default definition includes
payment defaults on both rated and unrated financial obligations.
In addition, under S&P's criteria, S&P treat distressed exchange
offers to restructure debt obligations as equivalent to a default
on the part of the issuer, even though, technically, investors may
accept such an offer voluntarily and no legal default occurs.
BTA's total foreign debt outstanding is about US$12 billion, with
about US$4 billion maturing in 2009. The bank announced that it
is not in a position to repay the US$12 billion sum if it were
accelerated. It also announced that it intends to pay due
interest on foreign and domestic debt. S&P understands that BTA
is so far continuing to service its retail depositors.
S&P understands that the Samruk Kazyna National Welfare Fund, the
main shareholder in the bank with a 78% stake, is not willing to
assist BTA.
S&P has affirmed the ratings on BTAI and Temirbank because they
are not included in BTA's standstill on principal payments and
they continue to service their obligations. However, BTA
announced that these subsidiaries will be included in the
restructuring of the BTA group. Accordingly, S&P see an increased
likelihood that the ratings on BTAI and Temirbank will be lowered
to 'D' in the near term.
S&P will lower the ratings on BTAI and Temirbank to 'D' in the
event that they default on all or substantially all of their debt,
initiate a wide-ranging distressed restructuring of their debt
obligations, or declare bankruptcy or insolvency.
S&P would consider revising the ratings on BTA, BTAI, and
Temirbank if the entities were to restore and sustain their
repayment capacity and were to service all their debt obligations
on a timely basis and avoid distressed debt restructuring, either
through government support or improvements in their stand-alone
credit profiles.
BTA DPR: S&P Junks Ratings on 4 Financial Future Flow Transactions
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its stand-alone and/or
underlying ratings on four financial future flow transactions
issued by BTA Bank J.S.C.'s BTA DPR Finance Co. (JSC Bank
TuranAlem) and seven financial future flow transactions issued by
Kazkommertsbank's Kazkommerts DPR Co. The 11 transactions are
backed by Kazakhstan's diversified payment rights. At the same
time, Standard & Poor's removed its ratings on the seven KKB
transactions from CreditWatch with negative implications, where
they were placed March 19, 2009. The ratings on the BTA
transactions remain on CreditWatch negative, where they were
placed Feb. 5, 2009.
These rating actions are based on S&P's recent review of both
programs after S&P received the full first-quarter asset
performance data after the programs' recent March debt-service
payment date. The quarterly data ending March 2009 depicted, on a
net basis (after the programs satisfied their required debt
service), a continued drop in the BTA DPR program's debt-service
coverage ratio levels and a negligible increase in the KKB DPR
program's DSCR levels. The overall declines reflect the global
economic downturn's negative impact on the price of and demand for
Kazakh's mineral- or petroleum-based exports. The Kazakh DPR
programs' very high industry and customer concentrations have
significantly reduced the programs' DPR flows and DSCR coverage
ratios.
In addition to the decline in flows, the rating actions reflect
the credit risk that resulted from the April 24, 2009, lowering of
S&P's long-term counterparty rating on BTA to 'D' from 'CC' after
BTA announced a standstill in the scheduled and accelerated
principal components of its debt. Based on S&P's methodology for
rating financial future flow transactions, the ratings on BTA's
DPR program reflect the lower of the bank's survivability
assessment, sovereign interference risk, and the DPR cash flow
credit quality. Currently, S&P assessed the lowest of these three
criteria at 'CCC'. S&P is keeping the ratings on the BTA
transactions on CreditWatch negative as S&P continues to monitor
the program's debt service payments and any steps BTA might take
regarding the program.
Globally, BTA's DPR program traditionally exhibits one of the
highest industry and customer concentrations. As a result, S&P
continues to stress BTA's DPR program at a high level in S&P's
cash flow analysis, which is consistent with the increased
concentration risks. BTA's DPR program currently has
US$667 million outstanding. Standard & Poor's is in
communications with The Bank of New York Mellon, the trustee for
the program.
KKB's DPR program's current DSCR meets S&P's requirements for a
'B+' rating. S&P removed the ratings on KKB's DPR program from
CreditWatch negative to reflect the asset's cash-flow generation
risk, which, on a gross basis, is relatively stable, as well as
S&P's credit view of Kazkommertsbank, whose long-term foreign and
local currency ratings are BB-/Negative. S&P's bank survivability
rating on Kazkommertsbank remains BBB-. Both programs
incorporated certain structural triggers that, if breached, could
cause either an early amortization or a stepped-up amortization
event if certain requirements are met. Earlier this year, another
rating agency's bank rating requirements were breached when the
agency lowered their ratings on BTA and KKB. This, in addition to
a decline in flows and a capital adequacy ratio test breach, will,
under the transaction's documentation, cause BTA's program to
begin amortization of principal with the scheduled June debt-
service payment. KKB's program breached a ratings event, which,
under the transaction's documentation, will cause all of the
series to amortize principal at a stepped-up level with the
scheduled June debt-service payment. These early amortization
events are not immediate because both banks continue to fund a
reserve account as a temporary (four-month period) action to cure
the breached triggers. If certain requirements are not met under
the transaction documents, BTA may begin a possible early
amortization in August 2009 and KKB may begin a further-stepped-up
amortization in September 2009.
The BTA series 2007-A, 2007-B, and 2007-C notes benefit from
insurance policies provided by Financial Guaranty Insurance Co.
(not rated), MBIA Insurance Corp. ('BBB+' insurer financial
enhancement rating), and Ambac Assurance Corp. ('A' insurer
financial enhancement rating), respectively. The KKB series 2005-
A and 2006-B notes benefit from an insurance policy from Ambac,
the series 2006-A and 2007-A notes benefit from an insurance
policy from FGIC, and the series 2007-B notes benefit from an
insurance policy from MBIA. The KKB series 2007-C notes benefit
from an insurance policy from the Asian Development Bank ('AAA'
foreign currency rating). The full financial guarantee insurance
policies that the respective counterparty provides guarantee the
timely payment of interest and principal according to the
transactions' terms.
Under S&P's criteria for bond insured structured debt, the issue
rating on an insured bond reflects the higher of the rating on the
insurance provider or Standard & Poor's underlying rating on the
securities. The 'CCC' long-term counterparty credit ratings on
the BTA 2007-A series notes and the 'B+' long-term counterparty
credit ratings on the KKB series 2006-A and 2007-A notes reflect
the corresponding SPUR and the delinking of the ratings from
FGIC's insurer financial enhancement rating. The long-term
counterparty credit ratings on the respective BTA and KKB series
reflect the respective insurance provider's financial enhancement
or corporate credit rating and are not affected by this rating
action. The BTA series 2007-D notes and KKB series 2005-B notes
do not benefit from an insurance policy and are rated on a stand-
alone basis.
The BTA and KKB programs are securitizations of all current and
future DPRs in the form of U.S. dollar-denominated Society for
Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication MT100 category
payment order messages. These payment order messages are a
product of BTA's and KKB's international financial operations.
Payment orders are created as a result of BTA's or KKB's role as a
financial intermediary between foreign payors that send funds to
Kazakhstan and resident Kazakh entities that receive these funds.
The transaction uses an offshore payment collection mechanism and
has other structural features designed to mitigate credit risk.
S&P will continue to surveil the issue ratings on these future
flow securitizations, and S&P will revise them as necessary to
reflect any future changes in the transactions' underlying credit
quality.

KAZAKH AGRARIAN: S&P Affirms 'BB+' Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it had affirmed its
'BB+' long-term and 'B' short-term issuer credit ratings and the
'kzAA-' Kazakhstan national scale rating on Kazakh Agrarian
Credit Corp. The outlook is negative.
"The Kazakh government's strong support to KACC helps maintain the
ratings," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Boris Kopeykin.
The state owns 100% of KACC. KACC receives capital injections and
budget loans from the government. These allow it to carry out its
public-policy-based mandate of providing credit to agricultural
and nonagricultural businesses in rural areas throughout
Kazakhstan.
The ratings are constrained by KACC's rapid expansion of its loan
portfolio in potentially risky areas. This has already resulted
in a higher estimated 2% share of nonperforming loans in the loan
portfolio, up from less than 0.1% in 2007. Lending concentration
is high, with the 20 largest borrowers accounting for about 30% of
KACC's gross loans. Moreover, KACC's liquidity position is weak,
due to the covenants on a $136 million loan from Dresdner Bank AG
(A/Stable/A-1).
S&P uses its government-related entities criteria for rating KACC.
S&P's top-down approach reflects the strong likelihood that KACC
would receive timely extraordinary support from the national
government in case of financial distress. The ratings on KACC are
therefore higher than its stand-alone credit quality, which S&P
now asses at the lower end of the 'B' category, due to increasing
liquidity risks.
Kazakhstan does not guarantee KACC's obligations, but keeps the
company well capitalized. In 2006-2008, the government increased
KACC's paid-in capital to Kazakhstani tenge 34.4 billion
(US$229 million). The company therefore enjoys a strong capital
position, with about 70% of loans covered by capital. S&P expects
the government to provide capital injections in 2009-2011.
Moreover, as a financial agency, KACC has access to low-cost loans
from the government budget, and is set to receive KTZ55.6 billion
of loans in 2009 to expand its activities in the agricultural
sector.
The loan from Dresdner, due in 2013, that the company attracted in
2008 represents a liquidity risk. It contains a series of
covenants that in case of breach would allow the bank to demand
repayment ahead of schedule. The loan agreement also contains
ratings triggers. It would be almost impossible for KACC to repay
the loan ahead of schedule with its own resources.
The negative outlook on KACC reflects that on the Republic of
Kazakhstan (foreign currency BBB-/Negastive/A-3; local currency
BBB/Negative/A-3; Kazakhstan national scale 'kzAAA'). S&P expects
the government to continue to expand KACC's capital. Furthermore,
S&P does not expect any changes in the policy and regulatory
framework that would weaken KACC's public-policy role, at least
until 2011.
"A negative rating action on Kazakhstan, a change in KACC's
public-policy role accompanied by signs of weakening government
support, or a higher likelihood of breach of one of Dresdner's
bank loan covenants, could threaten the ratings," said Mr.
Kopeykin.
Ratings upside could result only from a strengthening of the
sovereign's credit profile.
KAZKOMMERTS DPR: S&P Cuts Ratings on 7 Fin'l Transactions to 'B+'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its stand-alone and/or
underlying ratings on four financial future flow transactions
issued by BTA Bank J.S.C.'s BTA DPR Finance Co. (JSC Bank
TuranAlem) and seven financial future flow transactions issued by
Kazkommertsbank's Kazkommerts DPR Co. The 11 transactions are
backed by Kazakhstan's diversified payment rights. At the same
time, Standard & Poor's removed its ratings on the seven KKB
transactions from CreditWatch with negative implications, where
they were placed March 19, 2009. The ratings on the BTA
transactions remain on CreditWatch negative, where they were
placed Feb. 5, 2009.
These rating actions are based on S&P's recent review of both

cash flow analysis, which is consistent with the increased
concentration risks. BTA's DPR program currently has
US$667 million outstanding. Standard & Poor's is in
communications with The Bank of New York Mellon, the trustee for
the program.
KKB's DPR program's current DSCR meets S&P's requirements for a
'B+' rating. S&P removed the ratings on KKB's DPR program from
CreditWatch negative to reflect the asset's cash-flow generation
risk, which, on a gross basis, is relatively stable, as well as
S&P's credit view of Kazkommertsbank, whose long-term foreign and
local currency ratings are BB-/Negative. S&P's bank survivability
rating on Kazkommertsbank remains BBB-. Both programs
incorporated certain structural triggers that, if breached, could
cause either an early amortization or a stepped-up amortization
event if certain requirements are met. Earlier this year, another
rating agency's bank rating requirements were breached when the
agency lowered their ratings on BTA and KKB. This, in addition to
a decline in flows and a capital adequacy ratio test breach, will,
under the transaction's documentation, cause BTA's program to
begin amortization of principal with the scheduled June debt-
service payment. KKB's program breached a ratings event, which,
under the transaction's documentation, will cause all of the
series to amortize principal at a stepped-up level with the

events are not immediate because both banks continue to fund a

the breached triggers. If certain requirements are not met under
the transaction documents, BTA may begin a possible early
amortization in August 2009 and KKB may begin a further-stepped-up
amortization in September 2009.
The BTA series 2007-A, 2007-B, and 2007-C notes benefit from
insurance policies provided by Financial Guaranty Insurance Co.
(not rated), MBIA Insurance Corp. ('BBB+' insurer financial
enhancement rating), and Ambac Assurance Corp. ('A' insurer
financial enhancement rating), respectively. The KKB series 2005-
A and 2006-B notes benefit from an insurance policy from Ambac,
the series 2006-A and 2007-A notes benefit from an insurance
policy from FGIC, and the series 2007-B notes benefit from an
insurance policy from MBIA. The KKB series 2007-C notes benefit
from an insurance policy from the Asian Development Bank ('AAA'
foreign currency rating). The full financial guarantee insurance
policies that the respective counterparty provides guarantee the
timely payment of interest and principal according to the
transactions' terms.
Under S&P's criteria for bond insured structured debt, the issue
rating on an insured bond reflects the higher of the rating on the
insurance provider or Standard & Poor's underlying rating on the
securities. The 'CCC' long-term counterparty credit ratings on
the BTA 2007-A series notes and the 'B+' long-term counterparty
credit ratings on the KKB series 2006-A and 2007-A notes reflect
the corresponding SPUR and the delinking of the ratings from
FGIC's insurer financial enhancement rating. The long-term
counterparty credit ratings on the respective BTA and KKB series
reflect the respective insurance provider's financial enhancement
or corporate credit rating and are not affected by this rating
action. The BTA series 2007-D notes and KKB series 2005-B notes
do not benefit from an insurance policy and are rated on a stand-

UAB MEDICINOS: Fitch Downgrades Individual Rating to 'D/E'
----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded Lithuania-based UAB Medicinos
Bankas's Long-term Issuer Default Rating to 'B-' (B minus) from
'B' and downgraded the bank's Individual Rating to 'D/E' from 'D'.
Fitch has simultaneously revised the Outlook for the Long-term IDR
to Negative from Stable and affirmed MB's other ratings.
The downgrade of MB's Long-term IDR and Individual Rating reflects
the deteriorating operating environment in Lithuania. This has
already been reflected in deteriorating asset quality and rising
impairment charges for Q408 which are likely to continue during
2009. Impairment charges consumed 65% of MB's pre-impairment
operating profit for 2008. Apart from a rising share of loans
with recognized impairment (19.6% of total gross loans) at end-
2008, the share of overdue loans has also increased with loans
more than 90 days overdue, but not impaired, accounting for 8.1%
of total gross loans at end-2008.
MB has had conservative collateral requirements resulting in
relatively low loan-to-value ratios. This has established a
partial buffer against a further growth in defaults in the bank's
corporate, real estate and mortgage books. Nevertheless, as most
of the collateral is in the form of real estate, the deepening
recession in Lithuania could further reduce the value of
collateral and result in a further rise in impairment charges.
Coupled with a likely deterioration of profitability at the pre-
impairment operating level, this raises the risk that credit
losses may weaken capital ratios. The loss absorption capacity of
MB is limited as manifested by the relatively low Tier 1 ratio of
11.5% at end-2008.
Rating actions on UAB Medicinos Bankas are:
-- Long-term Issuer Default Rating: downgraded to 'B-' (B minus)
from 'B'; Outlook revised to Negative from Stable
-- Short-term IDR: affirmed at 'B'
-- Individual Rating: downgraded to 'D/E' from 'D'
-- Support Rating: affirmed at '5'
-- Support Rating Floor: affirmed at 'No Floor'

LYONDELL CHEMICAL: Holding Company Seeks Chapter 11 Protection
--------------------------------------------------------------
LyondellBasell Industries AF S.C.A. has been voluntarily added to
Lyondell Chemical Company's reorganization filing under Chapter 11
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to protect the European holding
company against claims by certain financial and U.S. trade
creditors.
LyondellBasell Industries AF S.C.A. is a holding company
incorporated in Luxembourg. It does not manufacture or sell
products, and has no employees.
LyondellBasell is exercising an option available under U.S. law to
prevent creditors from enforcing guarantees by LyondellBasell AF
S.C.A. for pre-petition obligations of LyondellBasell's U.S.
businesses. It also prevents bondholders of Senior Notes due in
2015 from potentially pursuing remedies against LyondellBasell AF
S.C.A. after an interest payment due on the notes in February was
not paid. The company obtained a 60-day restraining order from the
U.S. bankruptcy court in February to allow time for LyondellBasell
to protect its European assets from these claims.
Extending Chapter 11 protection to LyondellBasell Industries AF
S.C.A. is not an insolvency proceeding under any European law. No
LyondellBasell manufacturing operation located outside of the
United States has applied for or become involved in insolvency or
bankruptcy proceedings in its respective home country.
"LyondellBasell continues to conduct business worldwide while the
company develops its reorganization plan as part of the Chapter 11
process," said Ed Dineen, LyondellBasell's Chief Operating
Officer. "All LyondellBasell companies remain committed to
maintaining mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers and
to serving customers as they did before this voluntary action."
About LyondellBasell Industries
LyondellBasell Industries is one of the world's largest polymers,
petrochemicals and fuels companies. It is the global leader in
polyolefins technology, production and marketing; a pioneer in
propylene oxide and derivatives; and a significant producer of
fuels and refined products, including biofuels. Through research
and development, LyondellBasell develops innovative materials and
technologies that deliver exceptional customer value and products
that improve quality of life for people around the world.
Headquartered in The Netherlands, LyondellBasell --
http://www.lyondellbasell.com/-- is privately owned by Access
Industries.
Basell AF and Lyondell Chemical Company merged operations in 2007
to form LyondellBasell Industries, the world's third largest
independent chemical company. LyondellBasell became saddled with
debt as part of the US$12.7 billion merger. About a year after
completing the merger, LyondellBasell Industries' U.S. operations
and one of its European holding companies -- Basell Germany
Holdings GmbH -- filed voluntary petitions to reorganize under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on January 6, 2009, to
facilitate a restructuring of the company's debts. The case is In
re Lyondell Chemical Company, et al., Bankr. S.D. N.Y. Lead Case
No. 09-10023). Seventy-nine Lyondell entities, including Equistar
Chemicals, LP, Lyondell Chemical Company, Millennium Chemicals
Inc., and Wyatt Industries, Inc., filed for Chapter 11.
The Hon. Robert E. Gerber presides over the case. Deryck A.
Palmer, Esq., at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, in New York,
serves as the Debtors' bankruptcy counsel. Evercore Partners
serves as financial advisors, and Alix Partners and its subsidiary
AP Services LLC, serves as restructuring advisors. AlixPartners'
Kevin M. McShea acts as the Debtors' Chief Restructuring Officer.
Clifford Chance LLP serves as restructuring advisors to the
European entities. Lyondell Chemical estimated that consolidated
assets total US$27.12 billion and debts total US$19.34 billion as
of the bankruptcy filing date.
Lyondell has obtained approximately US$8 billion in DIP financing
to fund continuing operations. The DIP financing includes two
credit agreements: a US$6.5 billion term loan (comprising $3.25
billion in new loans and a US$3.25 billion roll-up of existing
loans) and a US$1.57 billion asset-backed lending facility.
Bankruptcy Creditors' Service, Inc., publishes Lyondell Bankruptcy
News. The newsletter tracks the Chapter 11 proceeding undertaken
by Lyondell Chemical Company and its various affiliates.

TAGANKA CAR: S&P Affirms 'BB' Credit Rating on Class C Notes
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has affirmed and removed from
CreditWatch negative its 'BB' credit ratings on the class C notes
issued by Taganka Car Loan Finance PLC.
The affirmation follows a full credit analysis of the most recent
information available to the rating agency. The class C notes are
now the only notes outstanding and the deal has a pool factor of
less than 5%. There is significant overcollateralization in the
deal and there is also a US$7 million reserve fund. S&P has taken
into consideration the macroeconomic environment within the
Russian Federation, which led to a review of S&P's default
assumptions. Following the review, S&P's default assumptions have
not changed at the 'BB' level and so the class C notes can still
withstand S&P's rating stresses at their current levels.
The class C notes were placed on CreditWatch negative on Dec. 9,
2008, following the lowering of S&P's foreign currency rating on
the Russian Federation to BBB/Negative/A-3 from BBB+/Negative/A-2,
and the lowering of Russia's Transfer & Convertibility assessment
to 'BBB' from 'BBB+'.

MHP SA: Fitch Affirms Long-Term Issuer Default Ratings at 'B'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the Ukraine-based agricultural producer
MHP S.A.'s foreign and local currency Long-term Issuer Default
Ratings at 'B' with Negative Outlook. MHP's US$250 million 10.25%
senior notes maturing in 2011 have also been affirmed at 'B' with
a Recovery Rating of 'RR4'.
"The affirmation reflects Fitch's expectation that the current
challenges facing Ukraine's economy will cause MHP's credit
profile to weaken moderately in 2009, but remain commensurate with
the current rating. MHP's credit profile should begin to recover
in 2010," said Philip Zahn, Senior Director in Fitch's retail and
consumer products team.
The Negative Outlook reflects heightened economic risks and the
potential for a continued depreciation of the hyrvnia (UAH). The
hyrvnia has stabilized at around 8/dollar so far in 2009, though
further depreciation would imply an increase in financial leverage
for MHP given a mismatch between MHP's foreign currency debt and
local currency revenues. A medium-term concern is the maturity of
the company's US$250 million eurobond in November 2011.
Fitch expects growth in chicken consumption will slow in Ukraine
in 2009, and perhaps contract. MHP's cash flow will be further
impacted by the Ukrainian government's expected non-payment of
direct subsidies to agricultural producers, though MHP should be
able to largely offset this lost subsidy through price increases.
These subsidies totaled US$48 million for MHP in 2008.
Fitch estimates that MHP will have sufficient liquidity to
complete phase 2 of its Myronivka poultry complex this year, but
that liquidity will reach a low-point at mid-2009. Liquidity is
supported by US$79 million of cash and short-term investments at
end-2008, though the central bank has placed restrictions on the
early withdrawal of dollar deposits. Approximately US$20 million
of MHP's cash and short-term investments are currently affected by
this restriction.
As expected, MHP generated strong growth in revenues and EBITDA
during 2008. Revenues increased to US$803 million from US$474
million in 2007, while EBITDA doubled to US$306 million. This
reflected the full-year operation of phase 1 of the Myronivka
plant, which was completed in mid-2007.
MHP's financial leverage (adjusted net debt/EBITDAR) improved at
end-2008 to 1.6x from 3.2x at end-2007 due to growth of EBITDA.
However, the full-year impact of the weakened hyrvnia will result
in lower sales and EBITDA in 2009 (in dollar terms), pushing
leverage higher to around 2x-2.5x. Leverage will decline in 2010
and beyond due to higher production levels and a sharp drop in
capital expenditure.
The ratings continue to reflect MHP's leading position in the
Ukrainian poultry market, supported by its high level of vertical
integration that, together with government subsidies, enables MHP
to generate EBITDA margins in excess of 30%. Negative rating
factors include the narrow focus of MHP's business on the
Ukrainian poultry market, the challenges in executing an
aggressive expansion programme and the potential for further
reductions in government support of the agricultural sector due to
fiscal constraints.
Fitch has also affirmed MHP's subsidiary, OJSC Myronivsky
Hliboproduct's foreign and local currency Long-term IDRs at 'B'
and National Long-term rating at 'A- (A minus)(ukr)'. The Outlook
for its Long-term IDRs and National Long-term rating are Negative.

BAY TRADING: Put Into Administration by Parent
----------------------------------------------
Kylie MacLellan at Reuters reports that Alexon Group plc has
decided to put its subsidiary Eposcopan, which trades as Bay
Trading, into administration after its credit insurer withdrew
cover for the group's suppliers due to uncertainty over Bay's
performance.
Reuters relates Alexon said in a statement "the level of potential
drain on the group's financial resources means that the Alexon
group has to withdraw its financial support of Epcoscan".
BBC News states that according to Alexon, fashion chain Bay
Trading had been incurring losses and had relied on funding from
the rest of the group to survive.
Alexon, Reuters discloses, has appointed Deloitte LLP as
administrators of Bay Trading, which made an adjusted operating
loss of GBP7.2 million in the year ended January 31. The
administrators, BBC News says, plan to keep the chain, whose same-
store sales fell 16 percent last year, trading while they try to
find a buyer.
BBC News notes the administration threatens 1,000 jobs at the
chain's 268 stores. Alexon's other brands such as Ann Harvey and
Kaliko would be unaffected by the administration, BBC News
discloses.
Bay Trading Co. -- http://www.baytrading.co.uk/-- sells a wide
range of funky clothes for women. They also sell bags and
jewellery. It is a division of Alexon Group plc --
http://www.alexon.co.uk/-- a ladies clothing retailer listed on
the London Stock Exchange.
CATTLES PLC: Wants Trading Halted; Annual Report Still Not Ready
----------------------------------------------------------------
Catherine Griffiths at Telegraph.co.uk reports that Cattles plc on
Thursday requested the suspension of trading in its shares as it
expects to delay reporting its annual results.
Cattles, which has already delayed reporting results from the end
of February after discovering an GBP850 million blackhole in its
account, said it is likely to miss the April 30 deadline.
Cattles, as cited in the report, said it requested a suspension
"in order to avoid a disorderly market and to protect investors
pending publication of its audited report and accounts for the
year." Cattles, the report discloses, is in talks with a
syndicate of banks led by Royal Bank of Scotland which have loaned
it GBP500 million.
According to the report, one of the issues delaying Cattles
reporting its results is that PricewaterhouseCoopers may want
discussions with the banking syndicate over a refinancing to be
finalized before it signs off Cattles' accounts as a going
concern.
Cattles, the report says, may fall into administration unless RBS
and the rest of the group's creditors agree to roll over the
credit line, which expires in July.
About Cattles plc
Cattles plc -- http://www.cattles.co.uk/-- provides financial
services to consumers and businesses. The company has three
principal businesses, these being Welcome Financial Services, The
Lewis Group and Cattles Invoice Finance.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on March 5,

senior debt of Cattles plc remain rated at 'B', respectively, and

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.
