LANDSBANKI ISLANDS: Icesave Deposits Priority Claims, Court Rules
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Iceland Review Online reports that Reykjavik District Court ruled
on Wednesday that the Icesave deposits are priority claims to the
Landsbanki Island hf's bankruptcy estate in a case which general
claimants filed against the bank's winding-up committee.
According to Iceland Review Online, visir.is said that this is the
second verdict which indicates that the emergency law established
in October 2008 was justifiable. Recently, another verdict was
announced saying that wholesale loans are also priority claims.
Iceland Review Online says both of these verdicts will likely be
appealed to the Supreme Court. The verdicts are a prerequisite
for commencing payments from the Landsbanki bankruptcy estate,
Iceland Review Online notes.
About Landsbanki Islands
Landsbanki Islands hf, also commonly known as Landsbankinn in
Iceland, is an Icelandic bank. The bank offered online savings
accounts under the "Icesave" brand. On October 7, 2008, the
Icelandic Financial Supervisory Authority took control of
Landsbanki and two other major banks.
Landsbanki filed for Chapter 15 protection on Dec. 9, 2008 (Bankr.
S.D. N.Y. Case No.: 08-14921). Gary S. Lee, Esq., at Morrison &
Foerster LLP, represents the Debtor. When it filed for protection
from its creditors, it listed assets and debts of more than
US$1 billion each.

QUINN INSURANCE: Posts EUR160 Million Loss in 2010
--------------------------------------------------
Finfacts Ireland reports that Quinn Insurance administrators on
Thursday said that the company lost a total of EUR706 million in
2009, mainly related to operating losses in its UK market and
writedowns in the value of some assets.
According to Finfacts Ireland, the joint administrators, Michael
McAteer and Paul McCann, said losses in 2010 were contained and
the company will post a loss of EUR160 million, which again is
related to UK business written prior to their appointment. About
EUR600 million will be required from the bailout insurance fund,
Finfacts Ireland says.
The company will be sold to the nationalized Anglo Irish Bank and
US insurance giant Liberty Mutual, which were named joint
preferred bidders earlier this month, Finfacts Ireland discloses.
The losses will require Quinn Insurance to call on the Insurance
Compensation Fund later this year, a move that will likely result
in a general levy being applied to non-life insurance customers,
Finfacts Ireland states.
Anglo and Liberty will take over the Irish business of Quinn
Insurance, but the loss-making British unit will not be acquired,
Finfacts Ireland notes.
About Quinn Insurance
Quinn Insurance is owned by Sean Quinn, Ireland's richest man, and
his family. The company has more than 20% of the motor and health
insurance market in Ireland. Employing almost 2,800 people in
Britain and Ireland, it was founded in 1996 and entered the UK
market in 2004.
As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe, The Irish
Times said the Financial Regulator put Quinn Insurance into
administration in March 2010 after his office discovered
guarantees had been provided by the insurer's subsidiaries as far
back as 2005 on Quinn Group debts of more than EUR1.2 billion.
The regulator said the guarantees reduced the amount the firm had
in reserve to protect policyholders against possible claims,
putting 1.3 million customers at risk, according to The Irish
Times.
QUINN INSURANCE: Liberty Mutual to Acquire 51% Stake in Firm
------------------------------------------------------------
Reuters reports that Quinn Insurance Limited administrator said
U.S. insurer Liberty Mutual Group Inc. has agreed to buy a
controlling stake in the company.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on April 18,
2011, The Irish Times said that a joint venture of US insurer
Liberty Mutual and state-owned Anglo Irish Bank has been confirmed
as the preferred bidder for the general insurance business of
Quinn Insurance Ltd. The Irish Times noted that while the deal
has yet to be finalized and the contracts of sale have yet to be
signed, it is envisaged that there will no job losses in either
the Republic or Northern Ireland as a result of the sales process.
Liberty will invest EUR102 million (US$148.4 million) to secure
51% in a new joint venture built from Quinn Insurance assets, the
Liberty Mutual Direct Insurance Co., according to Reuters. The
report relates that the administrators will invest EUR98 million
($142.6 million) and maintain a 24.5% stake. Anglo Irish will
also take a 24.5% stake and will release assets it held as
collateral, the report notes.
The administrators also reported that Quinn Insurance posted a
2009 full-year loss of EUR706 million (US$1.03 billion).
The administrator estimated this would lead to a call of EUR600
million (US$872.9 million) on Ireland's insurance compensation
fund, a levy to be imposed on the country's non-life insurance
companies, Reuters adds.

TCS FINANCE: Fitch Assigns Final 'B' Rating to Sr. Unsec. Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned TCS Finance Limited's issue of US$175
million 11.5% senior unsecured loan participation notes, due April
21, 2014, a final Long-term rating of 'B' and Recovery Rating of
'RR4'.
TCS Finance Limited, an Ireland-domiciled special purpose vehicle,
will use the proceeds from the notes to finance a loan to Tinkoff
Credit Systems (TCS-bank) and will only pay noteholders principal
and interest received from the bank. TCS-bank is the core
operating entity of the broader group consolidated at the level of
Cyprus-domiciled Egidaco plc.
TCS-bank's ratings are: Long-term foreign and local currency
Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) of 'B', Short-term IDR of 'B',
Individual Rating of 'D/E', Support Rating '5' and National Rating
of 'BBB(rus)'. The Outlooks on the IDRs and National Long-term
rating are Stable. Egidaco plc will provide a guarantee to TCS
Finance Limited in respect to TCS-bank's obligations under the
loan agreement.
The notes will rank at least equally with TCS-bank's other senior
unsecured obligations, except those preferred by relevant
legislation. Under Russian law, the claims of retail depositors
rank above those of other senior unsecured creditors. At end-Q111,
retail deposits accounted for 46.3% of total liabilities of TCS-
bank according to the bank's local accounts. The terms of the
issue provide a put option to bondholders on the occurrence of a
put event, which may be triggered by a change of control in TCS-
bank.
TCS-bank is the first and currently only credit card monoline
company in Russia, established in 2006 by Russian businessman Oleg
Tinkov. A combined 32% stake in the group was subsequently sold to
Goldman Sachs and Scandinavian private equity fund Vostok-Nafta.
Following rapid growth in 2010, the bank had a market share of
approximately 4.5% of credit card receivables at year-end.

FIAT FINANCE: Moody's Reviews 'Ba1' Rating for Possible Downgrade
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has placed under review for possible
downgrade the Ba1 Corporate Family Ratings (CFR) of Fiat S.p.A.
and its rated subsidiaries Fiat Finance & Trade and Fiat Finance
North America as well as the Ba1 Probability of Default Rating
(PDR) following the announced agreement to increase its stake in
Chrysler Group LLC by another 16% to 46%.
The review was triggered by Fiat's announcement on April 21 that
it had reached an Agreement with Chrysler itself and the other
members of Chrysler to purchase an additional 16% stake in
Chrysler Group LLC for a cash payment to Chrysler of US$1,268
million which represents a significant step in the progressive
tighter integration of the two automobile manufacturers globally.
The exercise of this option is conditional upon the successful
refinancing of Chrysler's government loans provided by the
Canadian and US governments. This is expected to be finalized in
the second quarter 2011. Following this transaction Fiat would
own 46% in Chrysler. This stake could go up further to 51%
without additional cash requirements for Fiat if the last
performance event is met.

Outlook Actions:

The review will mainly focus on (i) the intercompany relationship
and future dependency of both companies on each other's
performance following the common use of vehicle architecture and
drivetrain technology as well as a common purchasing organization
and (ii) the potentially increased exposure of Fiat towards
Chrysler that Moody's views as a weaker credit than Fiat. Moody's
will also assess the impact on Fiat's liquidity profile following
the cash outflow of US$1,268 million though the agency recognizes
that Fiat has currently significant cash holdings on its balance
sheet.
Fiat's ratings benefit from its leading market positions in Brazil
(with an approximate 25% market share), as the company's major
source of profits and cash flows in the past years. Fiat Group
also benefits from a dominant domestic Italian market presence
(with an approximate 30% market share). The group generates
approximately two thirds of its revenues in these two countries
and is therefore especially vulnerable to a drop-off in demand in
either one of these regions. This very limited geographic
diversification, which would improve with the inclusion of
Chrysler in the Group, is a key weakness to its current rating.
The rating also reflects (i) Fiat's business risk, with a pure
focus on the highly cyclical automotive industry including an
increased 46% stake in Chrysler Group and the activities of
Magneti Marelli (automotive components) and Teksid (supplier of
engine blocks) as well as of Comau (robotics for the auto
industry) and Fiat Powertrain (mostly an internal supplier of
engines) and (ii) Moody's view of an ageing product portfolio in
Europe resulting from the absence of recent new volume model
launches. This has led to an overall relatively infrequent model
renewal rate compared with its direct peers, thus constraining the
group's competitive position. This was also reflected in last
year's market share losses in Europe and in Fiat's important home
market Italy.
Moody's anticipates that Fiat will be able to contain further
market share losses within the next two years before regaining
market shares in Europe, based on an attractive renewed model
range.
The Ba1 rating also takes into consideration a substantial
increase in capital expenditures in the current year and beyond,
compared with a reduced level in 2010, in order to develop and
launch attractive new volume models to the market. Moody's
anticipates that the launch schedule will accelerate from 2012
onwards.
The principal methodologies used in this rating were Global
Automobile Manufacture Industry published in December 2007, and
Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies
in the U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.
Headquartered in Torino, Italy, Fiat S.p.A. is one of Italy's
leading industrial groups and one of Europe's largest automotive
manufacturers by unit sales. On January 1, 2011, the group
completed the demerger of its capital goods activities, mainly
Iveco and CNH (Ba3,stable), into a separate company, called Fiat
Industrial (Ba1, stable). On a pro-forma basis, the new Fiat
S.p.A. generated consolidated revenues of EUR35.9 billion and
reported a trading profit of EUR1.1 billion in 2010.

CITY MALL: May 16 Auction Set; Starting Price Reduced
-----------------------------------------------------
SeeNews reports that Bucharest's City Mall shopping center, which
has entered bankruptcy procedures, will be put up for sale again
at a reduced starting price of EUR26.2 million (US$39 million).
According to SeeNews, Radu Lotrean, managing partner at the
Insolvency House Transilvania, the mall's administrator, as cited
by Bucharest-based daily Ziarul Financiar, said that the third
auction will be called on May 16 after the previous two attracted
no interested buyers.
In November, Australian investment fund APN European Retail
Property Group filed for insolvency of its subsidiary Victoria
Holding, which owns the mall, SeeNews recounts. SeeNews notes
that the daily said UniCredit Bank Austria and local lenders
UniCredit Tiriac Bank and Bancpost have to recover more than 41
million euro from Victoria Holding, which contracted the loans for
buying City Mall in 2006.

CREDIT EUROPE: Fitch Assigns 'BB-(exp)' Rating to Sr. Unsec. Bonds
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned Credit Europe Bank's (CEB) senior
unsecured fixed-rate RUB-denominated exchange bonds (BO-1, BO-2,
BO-3, BO-4, BO-5 and BO-6) an expected Long-term rating of 'BB-
(exp)' and an expected National Long-term rating of 'A+(rus)'.
The three-year bonds will be issued in six series of RUB5 billion
each. The final ratings on the bonds are contingent on the
receipt of final documents conforming to information already
received.
CEB's ratings are Long-term foreign currency IDR 'BB-'/Stable
Outlook, Short-term IDR 'B', Individual 'D', Support '3' and
National Rating 'A+(rus)'/ Stable Outlook.
CEB's obligations under the notes rank equally with the claims of
other senior unsecured creditors except claims of retail
depositors, which under Russian law rank above those of other
senior unsecured creditors. Retail deposits accounted for 6.7% of
CEB's total liabilities at end-Q111, according to local GAAP
accounts.
CEB (formerly Finansbank (Russia) Ltd) is a mid-sized commercial
bank (ranked 50 by assets at end-Q111) with a focus on retail
lending. It is controlled by Credit Europe Bank N.V., which is
part of the larger FIBA Holding A.S., a Turkish conglomerate owned
by Turkish businessman Husnu Ozyegin.

AYT HIPOTECARIO: S&P Lowers Rating on Class C Notes to 'BB'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered and removed from
CreditWatch negative its credit ratings on AyT Hipotecario Mixto V
Fondo de Titulizacion de Activos' class B and C notes. "We have
also lowered our rating on the class A notes, but these notes
remain on CreditWatch negative for counterparty reasons," S&P
noted.
"These rating actions follow our analysis of the underlying
portfolio's credit quality and our review of the transaction's
structural and cash flow features," S&P stated.
"On Oct. 12, 2010, we placed on CreditWatch negative our ratings
on AyT Hipotecario Mixto V's class A, B, and C notes due to
deteriorating credit performance and the partial draw of the
reserve fund," said S&P.
"Based on the most recent transaction information we have received
as of the March 2011 payment date, our analysis has indicated
continuing deterioration in the underlying collateral's
performance. The cumulative level of defaulted loans (defined as
loans in arrears for more than 18 months) in March 2011
represented 0.56% of the original portfolio balance securitized at
closing, compared with 0.24% a year earlier," S&P noted.
As a result, in September 2010 the issuer partially drew on the
reserve fund to 76.05% of its required level. As of March 2011,
the reserve fund has been fully replenished. "Nevertheless, given
the level of defaults, we do not believe that the credit
enhancement is sufficient to support our previous ratings on the
class A, B, and C notes," S&P continued.
"Because of this credit deterioration, and after applying our cash
flow stresses to the outstanding capital structure, we have
lowered and removed from CreditWatch negative our ratings on the
class B and C notes. We have also lowered our rating on the class
A notes, but these notes remain on CreditWatch negative for
counterparty reasons," S&P said.
"Specifically, some of the existing transaction documents may no
longer adequately mitigate counterparty risk in line with our
updated counterparty criteria. Therefore, on Jan. 18, 2011, we
updated the CreditWatch negative status of our ratings on the
class A notes for additional counterparty reasons when our updated
counterparty criteria became effective. We will review this
documentation and we intend to resolve the CreditWatch placements
before the transition date of July 18, 2011," S&P related.
AyT Hipotecario Mixto V is a residential mortgage-backed
securities transaction that closed in July 2006. It securitizes a
portfolio of residential mortgage loans secured over properties in
Spain. Caixa d'Estalvis Comarcal de Manlleu, Caja General de
Ahorros de Granada, and Caja de Ahorros y Monte de Piedad de
Navarra originated and service the loans.

CAJA DE AHORROS: Moody's Assigns 'Baa1' Rating to EUR1,000MM Bonds
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a definitive long-term
rating to a new series of mortgage covered bonds issued by Caja de
Ahorros del Mediterraneo (CAM or the issuer) under its covered
bond program.
Issuer: Caja de Ahorros del Mediterr neo, mortgage covered bond
program
-- EUR1,000M due 04/14/2014, Assigned Baa1.
RATINGS RATIONALE
The covered bonds constitute direct, unconditional and senior
obligations of Caja de Ahorros del Mediterr neo and are secured by
the issuer's entire mortgage loan pool (excluding securitised
loans).
The rating takes into account these factors:
(1) The credit strength of the issuer (Ba1/NP/D).
(2) The structure created by the transaction documents in
combination with the legal framework for Spanish covered
bonds.
(3) The credit quality of the assets securing the payment
obligations of the issuer under the covered bonds. The
cover assets are residential and commercial mortgages
located in Spain.
(4) As of September 2010, the over-collateralization level
consistent with the Baa1 rating is 12.5% and the level of
over-collateralization is 170.4%.
Moody's has assigned a Timely Payment Indicator (TPI) of
"Probable" to the covered bonds.
The ratings assigned by Moody's address the expected loss posed to
investors. Moody's ratings address only the credit risks
associated with the transaction. Other non-credit risks have not
been addressed, but may have a significant effect on yield to
investors.
The Baa1 rating assigned to the existing covered bonds is expected
to be assigned to all subsequent covered bonds issued by the
issuer under this program and any future rating actions are
expected to affect all such covered bonds. Should there be any
exceptions to this, Moody's will in each case publish details in a
separate press release.
KEY RATING ASSUMPTIONS/FACTORS
Covered bond ratings are determined after applying a two-step
process: expected loss analysis and TPI framework analysis.
EXPECTED LOSS
Moody's determines a rating based on the expected loss on the
bond. The primary model used is Moody's Covered Bond Model
(COBOL) which determines expected loss as a function of the
issuer's probability of default, measured by its rating of Ba1,
and the stressed losses on the cover pool assets following issuer
default.
As of September 2010, the Cover Pool Losses for this program are
40.1%. This is an estimate of the losses Moody's currently models
in the event of issuer default. Cover Pool Losses can be split
between Market Risk of 17.5% and Collateral Risk of 22.6%. Market
Risk measures losses as a result of refinancing risk and risks
related to interest rate and currency mismatches (these losses may
also include certain legal risks). Collateral Risk measures
losses resulting directly from the credit quality of the assets in
the cover pool. Collateral Risk is derived from the Collateral
Score which for this program is 33.7%.
TPI FRAMEWORK
Moody's assigns a "timely payment indicator" (TPI) which indicates
the likelihood that timely payment will be made to covered
bondholders following issuer default. The effect of the TPI
framework is to limit the covered bond rating to a certain number
of notches above the issuer's rating.
SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
The robustness of a covered bond rating largely depends on the
credit strength of the issuer.
The number of notches by which the issuer's rating may be
downgraded before the covered bonds are downgraded under the TPI
framework is measured by the TPI Leeway. Based on the current TPI
of "Probable" the TPI Leeway for this program is two notches,
meaning the issuer rating would need to be downgraded to B1 before
the covered bonds are downgraded, all other things being equal.
A multiple notch downgrade of the covered bonds might occur in
certain limited circumstances. Some examples might be (a) a
sovereign downgrade negatively affecting both the issuer's senior
unsecured rating and the TPI; (b) a multiple notch downgrade of
the issuer; or (c) a material reduction of the value of the cover
pool.
For further details on Cover Pool Losses, Collateral Risk, Market
Risk, Collateral Score and TPI Leeway across all covered bond
programs rated by Moody's please refer to "Moody's EMEA Covered
Bonds Monitoring Overview", published quarterly. These figures
are based on the most recent reporting by the issuer and are
subject to change over time.
The principal methodology used in this rating was Moody's Rating
Approach to Covered Bonds, published in March 2010.
TDA PASTOR: S&P Lowers Rating on Class C Notes to 'CCC'
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services took various credit rating
actions on TDA Pastor Consumo 1, Fondo de Titulizacion de Activos.
Specifically, S&P:
-- lowered and kept on CreditWatch negative its rating on the
class A notes;
-- lowered and placed on CreditWatch negative its rating on the
class B notes; and
-- lowered its rating on the class C notes.
"The rating actions follow our review of the credit quality of the
underlying collateral of consumer loans, originated and currently
serviced by Banco Pastor S.A., which has resulted in an updated
assessment of default and recovery levels," S&P noted.
S&P continued, "Our ratings on the notes in this transaction
address the timely payment of interest due under the rated notes,
and ultimate payment of principal at maturity of the rated notes."
The collateral in this transaction comprises unsecured loans
granted by Banco Pastor to Spanish residents between 1999 and 2007
for the purpose of financing consumer goods and services. These
loans were originated between 1999 and 2007. The revolving period
was initially scheduled to last two years from the closing date
but as required by the transaction documents, in October 2008 was
terminated early when the level of assets in arrears for more than
90 days reached the trigger of 2.25%.
"Due to a rapid increase in defaults and lower-than-expected
recoveries, the transaction is currently undercollateralized,
meaning that in our opinion there is insufficient performing
collateral available to fully repay the principal amount
outstanding of all the rated notes. While the level of credit
enhancement provided by the performing balance is positive for the
class A notes, it is almost zero for the class B notes. The class
C notes are currently undercollateralized," S&P said.
Based on the latest available investor report the pool factor is
at 32%, with assets classified as delinquent (arrears between
three months and 18 months from the payment due date) accounting
for 5% of the current portfolio and 1.61% of the closing balance
of the portfolio.
"Although delinquency levels appear to be stabilizing, we observe
that the rollover rate from delinquency to default is high. Based
on the latest available data, the level of cumulative defaulted
assets accounts for 4.20% of the original pool at closing, and in
2010 the rate of accumulation was particularly high," S&P noted.
"Furthermore, the data indicate that the level of recoveries on
defaulted assets will be lower than our initial assumptions. For
example, our calculations indicate that the recovery proceeds on
defaulted assets average approximately 34%, which is lower than
our recovery assumptions at closing," according to S&P.
In addition, the reserve fund has been fully depleted since July
2010. "In our projections, the excess spread provided by the
interest rate swap is more than offset by the levels of
nonperforming assets. This would indicate that, in some
scenarios, the reserve fund is unlikely to be replenished.
Furthermore, in some scenarios we anticipate that current levels
of undercollateralization would likely increase as principal would
be drawn to fund interest," S&P noted.
"As a consequence, we have lowered our rating on the class C notes
to 'CCC (sf)' from 'B (sf)' as, in our opinion, the issuer will
not have the capacity to meet its financial commitment in respect
of the principal due at maturity under the class C notes," S&P
said.
"We have also lowered our ratings on the class A and B notes to
reflect our view of the weakening capacity of the issuer to meet
its financial commitments," according to S&P.
"We placed the rating on the class A notes on CreditWatch negative
on March 17, 2011, due to the updated criteria we use for
assessing counterparty risk in structured finance transactions.
As the rating on the class A notes is at a level below the rating
on the swap counterparty, the rating is no longer on CreditWatch
negative for counterparty reasons. Nevertheless, we kept on and
placed on CreditWatch negative our ratings on the class A and
class B notes, respectively, because we believe that performance
of the underlying collateral could continue to weaken at a
relatively fast rate," S&P related.

Patrick Lannin and Bernie Woodall at Reuters report that
Vladimir Antonov, a Russian businessman seeking to invest in Saab
won initial approval for the plan on Thursday, raising hopes the
Swedish firm can beat a cash crunch threatening its survival.
Vladimir Antonov, who owns a bank in Lithuania and Latvia, aims to
invest EUR30 million (US$44.5 million) in Spyker, the Dutch group
that owns Saab, to take a 29.9%, Reuters discloses.
Reuters relates that Sweden's Debt Office and former Saab owner
General Motors (GM.N) both said they had approved the plan, though
GM, which still has preference shares in Saab, said it wanted
"certain specific actions" to be taken by the car maker.
"GM will continue to work with all parties to facilitate a
solution to Saab's current business challenges," Reuters quotes
the U.S. group as saying in a statement.
It remains unclear how quickly Mr. Antonov's money will be
available, Reuters notes. His plans have yet to be approved by
the Swedish government and by the European Investment Bank, which
has lent EUR217 million to Saab, guaranteed by the Swedish state,
Reuters states.
Spyker, Reuters says, wants to raise cash by selling Saab's real
estate, including the manufacturing plant, to Mr. Antonov, who
would then lease it back to Saab. According to Reuters, Saab has
said that the plan has already won Sweden's approval, but has been
blocked by the EIB, which, has set tough conditions.
Reuters relates that the Dutch group and Mr. Antonov said they
were pleased by the Swedish Debt Office and GM statements.
"Finally we have managed to obtain a clean bill of health and we
need to move fast forward to secure the cash flow of Saab
Automobile," the Russian, as cited by Reuters, said in a
statement. "I hope all involved parties now further take on their
responsibility so we can close all processes fast to secure the
future of Saab Automobile."
Management has been pushing for Mr. Antonov to be allowed to buy
into the firm and help it with its strained finances, Reuters
discloses.
A former shareholder in Spyker, Mr. Antonov had to sell his shares
in the Dutch group before it bought Saab from GM after reports in
Swedish media of involvement with organized crime and money
laundering, Reuters recounts.
As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on April 21,
2011, Global Insolvency said that Saab urgently needs fresh funds
to pay its suppliers and resume production. Production came to a
halt in recent weeks because of parts shortages after some
suppliers stopped deliveries, Global Insolvency recounted. Global
Insolvency related that on April 15, the Swedish government
granted the car maker approval to sell its property and set
several conditions for the NDO to allow Saab to release its
collateral. The conditions were mainly related to the expected
price and the potential buyer, Global Insolvency stated.
The company is currently unable to secure external financing,
since large parts of its assets are tied up as collateral for a
EUR400 million (US$572.2 million) loan granted by the European
Investment Bank, according to Global Insolvency.
With an annual production of up to 126,000 cars, Saab's current
models include the 9-3 (available as a convertible or sport
sedan), the luxury 9-5 sedan (also available in a sport wagon),
and the seven-passenger 9-7X SUV. As it prepared to separate from
General Motors, Saab filed for bankruptcy protection in February
2009. A year later, in February 2010, GM sold Saab to Dutch
sports car maker Spyker Cars for about US$400 million in cash and
stock.

---------------------------------------------------
The Courier reports that Acorn Pets has gone into administration,
with the loss of 16 sites and 122 full and part-time jobs.
The firm will retain shops in Dunfermline (Duloch Park) and
Cowdenbeath, according to The Courier. The report relates that

The Courier notes that this is the second time in two years that

of joint administrators David Menzies and Pamela Coyne of Begbies
Traynor, following a sustained period of "poor trading." The
Courier relates that the administrators have confirmed the head
office at Rosyth will remain, albeit "on a reduced staff" basis.
Acorn Pets closed 11 stores in 2009, including those in Dundee,
Perth, Kirkcaldy and Alloa, with the loss of 73 jobs, The Courier
recalls.
Acorn Pets is a pet supply chain based in Rosyth.
ALL SAINTS: Finds Rescuer, May Miss Administration
--------------------------------------------------
Fibre2fashion News Desk reports that Goode Partners, the U.S.
private equity firm is near to closing a rescue deal sanctioning
GBP102 million or US$168 million for ailing fashion retailer, All
Saints, to save it from slipping into administration.
However, Fibre2fashion News Desk relates, for the deal to
finalize, sanction of the troubled firm's Icelandic shareholders
has been sought.
The private equity consortium, has submitted a joint proposal with
Lion Capital, a private equity house based in UK, a consumer
industry expert, holding investment in fashion chains like La
Senza and American Apparel, according to Fibre2fashion News Desk.
Fibre2fashion News Desk says that All Saints together with its
founder and biggest shareholder, Kevin Stanford, is in support of
this deal. The report relates that the business needs finance for
recapitalization, repaying debts and to fund its expansion in the
US.
The retailer is in debt amounting to GBP53 million, which includes
a GBP28.5 million working capital arrangement with Lloyds Banking
Group, Fibre2fashion News Desk adds.
All Saints is a fashion chain. The business was established in
1994 and best known for its distinctive stores decked out with
10,000 vintage Singer sewing machines. It employs 2,000 staff.
DCM MONEY: More Than GBP2 Million Missing from Account
------------------------------------------------------
The Telegraph reports that DCM Money Solutions, the debt
management group that went into administration last month, had a
GBP2.3 million shortfall in its client funds a year before it went
under.
Administrators piecing together "inaccurate" accounts reported
they found just GBP8,744 in the company's bank account, believed
to be client funds, according to the Telegraph.
The report, citing the administrator's report, notes that the
company was owed GBP492,000 by its deceased founder John Baird and
another GBP1 million to companies related to DCM through joint
directorships. A number of those companies are now in
liquidation.
The administrators report makes it clear that creditors of DCM,
which also traded as Apex Debt Counselling, will be unlikely to
get any money back, the report says.
The Telegraph says that the report by HJS Recovery states: "Unless
administrators' investigations result in a recovery of further
funds then there will be insufficient funds available to enable a
distribution to client creditors."
Research by ClearDebt, the company that stepped in to takeover the
debt plans, has revealed that less than GBP1 million of those
debts had been repaid, The Telegraph discloses.
The report adds that many DCM customers have complained little or
none of their debt repayments had ended up with their creditors.
DCM Money Solutions offered advice to people faced with credit
card debts, bankruptcy, repossession, and mortgage debt and loan
problems.
DUNDEE FOOTBALL CLUB: Chief Executive Eyes Positive Future
----------------------------------------------------------
BBC News reports that Dundee Football Club is confident of
emerging from administration with a sound financial base, a squad
that can chase promotion and with Barry Smith still as manager.
Club Chief Executive Harry MacLean also stressed that they will
remain a full-time club, according to BBC News. "The main thing
now is to get out of administration and get back to normal," he
told BBC Scotland. "We're near the end of the season and, back in
October, we were never sure of reaching this point," he added.
"The administrator said a few times his target is the end of the
season and I don't think much has changed," BBC News quotes Mr.
MacLean as saying.
BBC News notes that a new internal structure will then take
control of the club and attempt to avoid more financial woes.
"The new proposed board has been meeting together for a couple of
months working pretty well together and ironed out some of the
differences that might have been there at the beginning for the
good of the club," Mr. MacLean added.
Dundee Football Club -- http://www.thedees.co.uk/-- is a Scottish
football club.
* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on October 18,
2010, Agence France-Presse said Dundee Football Club was
placed into administration on Oct. 14, 2010, after failing to
pay a GBP365,000 (US$583,525) tax bill. The report related that
Dundee had no option but to accept administration after being
unable to negotiate the payment and the process was finally
confirmed on.
ETS: Goes Into Administration, May Cut 57 Jobs
----------------------------------------------
thisisthewestcountry.co.uk reports that ETS has gone into
administration with the potential loss of 57 jobs across its six
shops. The report relates that a company spokesman said that
difficult trading conditions were cited as the reason for the
move, which comes with deep regret.
"We have explored every avenue to keep the business going and to
save jobs, but this has proved impossible,"
thisisthewestcountry.co.uk quotes the spokesman as saying. "We
deeply regret that the current economic conditions have led to
this unhappy situation and we will do all we can to help the staff
who may lose their jobs."
The report discloses that prices will be slashed across the chain,
as the administrators have authorized a stock clearance while they
search for potential buyers.
"A buyer for the business is being sought and the administrators
will now look to trade the company's business for a short period
to facilitate an orderly disposal of the company's stock at
reduced prices," the spokesman added.
Founded in 1963, during the boom in television sales, ETS
(Electrical & T.V. Services (Helston) Limited) established a
reputation for providing high quality domestic appliances
supported by dependable installation and servicing.
HMV GROUP: Discounted Waterstone's Sale May Prompt CVA
------------------------------------------------------
Lisa Campbell at The Bookseller reports that analysts have warned
that selling Waterstone's for less than GBP70 million could force
the HMV Group into a company voluntary arrangement.
According to The Bookseller, the group said it is continuing to
explore "strategic options" for its book business, but a report in
the Sunday Times suggested that Russian billionaire Alexander
Mamut could seal a deal for the high street bookseller for as
little as GBP35 million or half Waterstone's "fair value."
City analysts cite that the book chain should sell for between
GBP50-70 million, which would help HMV pass its banking covenant
tests, but there are now concerns that further action might also
be required, The Bookseller notes.
Last month, the HMV Group released its third profit warning
predicting its end-of-year profit would be "around GBP30 million"
-- less than half of its GBP74.2 million profit this time last
year, at the same time revealing that the deadline for the bank
covenant test had been pushed back from April 30 to July 2, The
Bookseller recounts.
"The HMV Group will do what is necessary to raise funds, but if
they take a lower bid, they will be looking to raise cash in the
form of a rights issue and probably CVA because they are looking
to raise around GBP70-GBP80 million," The Bookseller quotes John
Stevenson, an analyst at Peel Hunt, as saying.
CVA is a form of insolvency which could release HMV from onerous
rent payments on its shops and provide a ring-fence around the
company that would enable it to continue trading, The Bookseller
states.
United Kingdom-based HMV Group plc is engaged in retailing of pre-
recorded music, video, electronic games and related entertainment
products under the HMV and Fopp brands, and the retailing of books
principally under the Waterstone's brand. The Company operates in
four segments: HMV UK & Ireland, HMV International, HMV Live and
Waterstone's. HMV International consists of HMV Canada, HMV Hong
Kong and HMV Singapore. Waterstone's is a bookseller, which
operates through 314 stores and a transactional Web site for the
sale of both physical and e-books for download. The Company has
operations in seven countries, with principal markets being the
United Kingdom and Canada. Its retail businesses operate through
417 stores in the United Kingdom, Canada, Hong Kong and Singapore.
On Jan. 29, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of MAMA
Group Plc. Its subsidiaries include HMV Canada Inc, HMV Guernsey
Limited, HMV Hong Kong Limited and HMV (IP) Limited.
* UK: North West Firms at Risk of Insolvency Up 3%
--------------------------------------------------
Manchester Evening News, citing a new report from accountants and
business advisers RSM Tenon's Traffic Light, says that the number
of north west firms at risk of collapse has risen for the third
month in a row to more than 20,000. Manchester Evening News
relates that the number of companies at high risk of insolvency
has climbed by 3% in each of the past three months.
In the north west, says RSM Tenon, there are 22,520 firms in this
category, representing 15% of businesses in the region, according
to Manchester Evening News.
"We may be out of recession but high oil prices, inflation and the
dampening effect of public sector cuts are all having an effect on
businesses. Our recovery line has seen a particular amount of
inquiries regarding the retail sector, itself often a bellwether
for the wider economy," Manchester Evening News quotes Chris
Ratten, the firm's north west director of recovery, as saying.
Along with retail, property companies and those providing services
to the public sector are deemed most at risk of failure,
Manchester Evening News adds.

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
