As reported Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on July 22, 2011, Bloomberg News related that A-Tec is still an acquisition target of Penta Investments even after A-Tec's offices were searched on Wednesday by Viennese authorities. Penta is standing by its "serious offer for all the assets of A-Tec" and "has extended the validity of the offer until the end of July," Bloomberg quoted an e-mail as saying. Bloomberg said that executives and creditor trustees are assessing bids for A-Tec's assets. The company became Austria's third-biggest insolvency case since World War II after it filed for bankruptcy protection in October, Bloomberg disclosed. A-TEC Industries AG engages in plant construction, drive technology, machine tools, and minerals and metals businesses in Europe and internationally. The company is based in Vienna, Austria. BLUE CHIP ENERGY: Files for Insolvency Proceedings -------------------------------------------------- Chris Whitmore at PV-Tech.org reports that Blue Chip Energy GmbH has filed for insolvency proceedings. The company informed a court in Eisenstadt about its financial state on Thursday and production was abandoned with immediate effect, PV-Tech.org says. According to the report, Blue Chip has attributed the current economic climate and the accompanying dip in module demand as the reason behind the company's financial plight. The report relates that despite 11th hour bailout talks with a number of banks, the Gussling-based manufacturer was unable to find a solution. PV-Tech.org discloses that Solon SE holds an 18.28% stake in the company, which it acquired in 2006 to help equip its project pipeline. However, with Blue Chip's demise now all but secured, Solon is faced with a valuation allowance totalling EUR18 million, the report says. Based in Gussing, Austria, Blue Chip Energy GmbH manufactures and markets high-capacity silicon-based solar cells. As of Dec. 10, 2007, Blue Chip Energy GmbH operates as a subsidiary of Solon SE. =============== B U L G A R I A =============== KREMIKOVTZI AD: Offshore Company Acquires Buyer Eltrade ------------------------------------------------------- Novinite.com reports that an offshore company, registered on the British Virgin Islands, has acquired the buyer of Kremikovtzi AD amid many question marks surrounding the deal. According to Novinite.com, a check in the Trade registry shows that "Bessian Management Limited" bought "Eltrade company", owned by 26-year-old Lachezar Varnadzhiev for BGN20,000. "Bessian Management Limited" is in its turn controlled by another offshore company -- "Bun Sekretarial Limited", based in Cyprus, Novinite.com notes. Bulgaria sold in April the production assets of bankrupt Kremikovtzi steel mill in a fourth auction to a newly established local company, owned by Mr. Varnadzhiev, Novinite.com recounts. Novinite.com, citing a check in the Trade Registry, says that the deal was signed just a month after "Eltrade company" was established on March 8, 2011 with a capital of mere BGN20,000, triggering suspicions who stays behind it, Novinite.com discloses. It is Mr. Varnadzhiev's only company and it is supposed to be a black and colored metal dealer, Novinite.com states. Bulgaria's privately-owned First Investment Bank said it had provided all the funding for Kremikovtzi steel mill, amounting to nearly BGN320 million, Novinite.com notes. Just before that the bank issued a EUR20 million bond, which allowed it to boost its credit portfolio by more than BGN320 million, which is exactly the price of Kremikovtzi sale deal, according to Novinite.com. The first two auctions of Kremikovtzi failed to attract any bidders last year, Novinite.com relates. The price started at BGN565,517,510, which according to trade unions and analysts is far below the market price, Novinite.com discloses. About Kremikovtzi Kremikovtzi AD Sofia -- http://www.kremikovtzi.com/-- is a Bulgaria-based company principally engaged in the steel industry. Its production capacity includes a complete steel production cycle, from ore mining to finished products, such as hot rolled and cold rolled products (coils, slabs, plates, blooms and billets), different thickness wire rods and tubes. The Company's product range also includes coke and chemical products, flat products, ferro-alloys and metallurgical lime, and other products. The Company operates through a number of subsidiaries, including Ferosplaven zavod EOOD, NLA 2000 EOOD, Kremikovtzi Rudodobiv AD, Metalresource OOD and others. The Company is 71%-owned by Finmetals Holding AD. UNITED BULGARIAN: Fitch Lowers LT Issuer Default Rating to 'B' -------------------------------------------------------------- Fitch Ratings has downgraded United Bulgarian Bank's Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'B' from 'B+' and maintained it on Rating Watch Negative. At the same time, the agency has maintained a RWN on Banca Romaneasca's Long-term IDR. Finansbank A.S.'s ratings are unaffected by the downgrade of National Bank of Greece, reflecting Fitch's view of the low contagion risk for Finansbank from developments at NBG. UBB and BROM are majority-owned by NBG and the rating actions follow the downgrade of NBG's ratings on July 14, 2011, including its Long-term IDR to 'B-'/RWN. The banks' IDRs are based on their stand-alone financial strength, given the limited ability of NBG to provide financial support. The banks' ratings have not so far incorporated any potential support from the local (Bulgarian and Romanian) sovereigns. This reflects significant uncertainty on the provision of such assistance, in particular if capital support, rather than just liquidity, is needed. At the same time, clear statements from the Bulgarian authorities on their readiness to provide support to Greek bank subsidiaries, including UBB, if needed, could considerably reduce further downside risk for UBB's ratings, and may result in a positive rating action. The downgrade of UBB's Long-term IDR reflects the increase in contagion risk following the downgrade of NBG and the Greek sovereign. The downgrade also reflects the continued weakening in UBB's asset quality, with non-performing loans (NPLs, overdue by 90 days or more loans) reaching 25.7% at end-Q11 (2010: 24.7%; 2009: 8.4%). Net NPLs are now roughly equal to the bank's equity which puts pressure on capitalization. At end-H111, the bank's Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.8%. BROM's 'B+' Long-term IDR reflects the bank's better (relative to UBB) asset quality and capital position. NPLs amounted to 9.5% at end-Q111 (2010: 7.6% and 2009: 4.8%). Net NPLs/equity stood at 14% at Q111 and the regulatory capital adequacy ratio was 25.9%. The RWN on both banks reflects the potential for further deterioration in the banks' credit profiles should negative developments in Greece, and at NBG in particular, result in reduced funding access for the subsidiaries, or losses of existing funding. The RWN on UBB also reflects the negative trend in its asset quality and potential recapitalization needs. At the same time, Fitch notes that deposits and liquidity appear to have been quite stable at both banks to date, and the former even increased marginally in Q111. There have also been no signs to date that NBG is withdrawing capital or liquidity from the subsidiaries (NBG provided about 30% of non-equity funding at both banks at end-2010). Furthermore, the banks' non-deposit funding, aside of that provided by NBG group entities, is limited. The rating actions are: UBB: -- Long-term IDR: downgraded to 'B' from 'B+'; maintained on RWN -- Short-term IDR: affirmed at 'B' -- Support Rating: downgraded to '5' from '4' -- Individual Rating: affirmed at 'D/E' BROM: -- Long-term IDR: 'B+' maintained on RWN -- Short-term IDR: affirmed at 'B' -- Support Rating: downgraded to '5' from '4' -- Individual Rating: affirmed at 'D' =========================== C Z E C H R E P U B L I C =========================== ECM REAL ESTATE: Court Declares Firm Bankrupt --------------------------------------------- CTK, citing a document made public by Prague's City Court in the insolvency register, reports that ECM Real Estate Investments was officially declared bankrupt on Thursday and the right to handle the company's assets was taken over by insolvency administrator Ivo Hala. As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on July 21, 2011, Reuters, citing a document on the Prague Municipal Court's Web site, related that the court administrator for ECM recommended bankruptcy for the insolvent Czech developer. ECM and several creditors pushed for a reorganization that would allow the company to continue operations, Reuters disclosed. ECM Real Estate Investments AG is known mainly as the builder of high-rise buildings in Prague's Pankrac district. JEANS CLUB: Enters Bankruptcy in Czech Republic ----------------------------------------------- MTI-Econews, citing the Prague business daily E15, reports that Jeans Club has gone bankrupt in the Czech Republic. MTI relates that the paper said Jeans Club, which sells inexpensive men's and women's clothing, closed its last store in Prague last week after its other shops in the country were closed down a week earlier, noting that Jeans Club's Czech Web site shut down as well. According to MTI, quoting Textil Journal, the newspaper said that the company has been struggling for a while, not only in the Czech Republic, but in Hungary, Romania and Poland as well. Jeans Club is a Hungarian fashion retailer. ============= F I N L A N D ============= ELCOTEQ SE: Starts Investigating Legality of Lenders' Actions ------------------------------------------------------------- Reuters reports that Elcoteq SE has begun looking into the legality of actions by lenders that the company says forced it to file for insolvency. As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on July 20, 2011, Elcoteq said it decided to apply for controlled management under the laws of Luxembourg to secure continuation of the Company's current operations and to allow outside investor to finalize its due diligence. Elcoteq has received a notice from Danske Bank, according to which Danske Bank has decided, under the direction of the revolving credit facility lenders, to accelerate Elcoteq's outstanding revolving credit facility despite the ongoing negotiations concerning the contemplated transaction with the outside investor. Simultaneously, the lenders have taken actions to block some of the Company's bank accounts. Danske Bank is acting as an agent on behalf of the other lenders: The Royal Bank of Scotland, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, Nordea Bank, Pohjola Bank, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, UniCredit Bank and HSH Nordbank. Since November 2009, the Company has been able to reduce the revolving credit facility from EUR230 million to EUR48.5 million. On June 30, 2011, the Company announced that the Company would not be able to repay on its maturity the remaining outstanding amounts under the facility. However, the Company entered into negotiations with the outside investor concerning a major equity and debt investment in the Company, and if the intended transaction is consummated, it would significantly strengthen Elcoteq's financial position. Elcoteq said, "the Company is extremely disappointed that the lenders have taken these actions despite requests not to accelerate the facility in order to secure enough time for the outside investor to complete a confirmatory due diligence process. In the Company's view, the lenders' act shows total disregard of the Company's customers, suppliers and close to 7,000 employees as well as other stakeholders." About Elcoteq SE Elcoteq SE -- http://www.elcoteq.com/-- is a Finland-based manufacturer of electronics that focuses on communication technology. The Company is engaged in the design, production, distribution and after-sales services of communications equipment. Its production activities are organized in three business areas: Communications Networks, Personal Communications and Home Communications. The Company's international service network covers altogether 15 countries across Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific region. It includes manufacturing plants, product development units and new product introduction centers in Hungary, Estonia, Romania, Russia, India, China, Mexico and Brazil. =========== F R A N C E =========== NOVASEP HOLDING: Moody's Cuts Probability of Default Rating to 'D' ------------------------------------------------------------------ Moody's Investors Service has downgraded to D from Ca the probability of default rating (PDR) of Novasep Holding SAS. The corporate family rating (CFR) and the ratings of the company's EUR270 million and US$150 million worth of senior secured notes, both maturing in December 2016, remain unchanged at Ca. The outlook on the ratings is stable. RATINGS RATIONALE The downgrade to D from Ca of Novasep's PDR follows the company's announcement on July 15, 2011 that it has not paid a large part of its coupon due on June 15, 2011. This announcement came at the end of the grace period. Moody's considers the non-payment of interest to be an event of default and, given that Novasep is in default on all of its debt obligations (Novasep only has senior secured notes), has assigned a PDR of D until the default is resolved. At this time, Moody's estimates the recovery to be broadly in line with standard assumptions (i.e., 50%), which results in a CFR of Ca. On July 15, 2011, Novasep announced that it has reached an agreement with an ad hoc group of noteholders (representing a majority in aggregate principal amount of Novasep's high yield notes), under which the group will not accelerate the repayment of the notes despite the partial payment of the June 15 coupon (Novasep paid EUR3 million worth of interest out of a total due of EUR18 million). The agreement also requires that restructuring negotiations be conducted under the aegis of the mandataire ad hoc and that the implementation of any debt restructuring be completed by mid-October 2011. The stable outlook reflects the limited likelihood of further downward pressure on the rating, while at the same time the company is still in negotiations with its noteholders and any positive outcome regarding a potential debt restructuring -- which would in all likelihood constitute a distressed exchange -- cannot therefore yet be factored into the outlook. According to Moody's definitions, Novasep is currently in default. Further downward pressure on the CFR could only develop if Moody's materially revised downward the estimated recovery. Upward pressure could develop if, through the restructuring of its debt, Novasep were able to reduce its leverage materially. The principal methodology used in rating Novasep Holding SAS was the Global Business & Consumer Service Industry Rating Methodology published in October 2010. Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June 2009. Novasep, headquartered in Pompey, France, is a leading provider of contract manufacturing services for life science industries and a manufacturer of purification equipment. Novasep reported revenues of EUR302 million in 2010. ============= G E R M A N Y ============= CONTINENTAL AG: S&P Raises CCR to 'B+' on Improved Credit Metrics ----------------------------------------------------------------- Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its long-term corporate credit rating on German automotive supplier Continental AG to 'B+' from 'B' reflecting a improvement of credit metrics, lower liquidity risks following arrangement of a new bank facility, and the improved credit quality of its parent, Schaeffler GmbH. The outlook is positive. "At the same time, we raised our issue ratings on the senior secured notes issued by Continental's financial vehicle, Conti- Gummi Finance B.V. (not rated), to 'B+' from 'B'. The recovery ratings on the notes remain at '3'," S&P related. "The rating action reflects our opinion that Continental is likely to continue to improve its financial risk profile throughout 2011 and beyond. Supported by a rebound of global light vehicle production and solid demand for both passenger car and truck tires worldwide, Continental's credit protection measures have improved. For the 12 months to March 31, 2011, funds from operations (FFO) to debt and debt to EBITDA were 27% and 2.6x. In 2011, we believe that Continental should be able to generate positive free operating cash flow (FOCF), which is likely to be used for deleveraging," S&P said. The rating action is also driven by a decline in liquidity risk as a result of a new EUR6.0 billion bank facility. The resulting new funding structure has extended the company's maturity profile significantly. "We are also of the opinion that the credit quality of Schaeffler, has improved. This is for two reasons. Firstly, through the disposal of a stake in Continental, Schaeffler has been able to deleverage itself and, secondly, Schaeffler is benefiting from strong demand in the automotive and industrial machinery sectors. Following the disposal of the 15% stake, Schaeffler, together with two banks, holds 60% of the voting rights in Continental. Because of the reduction of the investment in Continental, the risk of a combination of Schaeffler and Continental has also diminished," S&P related. "Under our parent-subsidiary criteria, we incorporate the weaker credit quality of Schaeffler into our assessment of Continental, even though Continental's bank facility agreements include covenants protecting creditors. Accordingly, the corporate credit rating on Continental is 'B+', even though we assess the company's stand-alone credit profile at the upper end of the 'bb' category," S&P said. Continental reported solid results for the first quarter of 2011. Revenues increased 23% year on year thanks to higher light vehicle production globally and higher volumes and better pricing in the tire division. EBIT was up by about EUR130 million year on year, while the company's reported EBIT margin was comparatively at flat at 10.0% against 10.1% previously. For 2011, Continental targets sales growth of 10% year on year and a flat annual EBIT margin of 9.7% despite projected higher raw material costs of EUR700 million. "We have included in our forecasts an adjusted EBIT margin of about 9% for 2011," S&P said. Continental's new bank facility includes covenant restrictions on dividends and special dividends, and prohibits loans and guarantees to major shareholders. In addition, Continental is unable to undertake acquisitions or joint-ventures exceeding EUR450 million. Because of contractual ring-fencing of Continental's assets and cash, any combination of Schaeffler's assets with those of Continental is subject to the prior consent of Continental lenders. "We continue to view Continental's business risk profile as 'satisfactory', underpinned by solid market shares, size, diversity, technological capabilities and ability to generate above industry-average profitability. We assess the company's financial risk profile as 'highly leveraged.' This primarily reflects the application of our parent-subsidiary criteria, which effectively captures the weaker credit quality of the parent," S&P stated. "The positive outlook reflects our opinion that Continental could improve its financial risk profile over the coming year through further deleveraging," S&P added. =================== K A Z A K H S T A N =================== BMB MUNAI: May File for Chap. 11 if Emir Oil Sale Doesn't Close --------------------------------------------------------------- BMB Munai, Inc., filed on June 29, 2011, its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C., in Salt Lake City, said that as a result of the pending sale of Emir Oil LLP, BMB Munai will have no continuing operations that result in positive cash flow, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company did not generate any revenue during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, and 2010, except from oil and gas sales through Emir Oil. Because of the pending sale of Emir Oil, discussed below, the assets, liabilities and operations of Emir Oil have been classified as discontinued operations for reporting purposes. The Company realized a loss from continuing operations of US$15.1 million during fiscal year 2011 compared to US$10.7 million during fiscal year 2010. This 41% increase in loss from continuing operations was primarily attributable to increased general and administrative and interest expense and the foreign exchange loss of US$415,803 incurred during fiscal year 2011. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, the Company realized income from discontinued operations of US$20.0 million compared to US$19.7 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. The Company realized net income of US$4.9 million for fiscal year 2011 compared to a net income of US$9.0 million for fiscal year 2010. Sale of Emir Oil LLP On Feb. 14, 2011, the Company entered into a Participation Interest Purchase Agreement with MIE Holdings Corporation, a company with limited liability organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and its subsidiary, Palaeontol B.V., a company organized under the laws of the Netherlands, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell (i) all of its interest in Emir Oil to Palaeontol, and (ii) certain intercompany loans it made to Emir Oil. The initial purchase price is US$170 million and is subject to various closing adjustments and the deposit of US$36 million in escrow to be held for a period of twelve months following the closing for indemnification purposes. Upon consummation of the Sale, the Company will use a portion of the proceeds to repay the Company's outstanding Senior Notes and to pay transaction costs and expenses. The Company's stockholders approved the Sale of June 2, 2011. The parties are currently working to satisfy the other closing conditions. Bankruptcy Warning The Company discloses in the filing that if it does not complete the Sale, it will not have sufficient funds to retire the restructured Senior Notes when they become due. "In this event, we would likely be required to consider liquidation alternatives, including the liquidation of our business under bankruptcy protection," the Company said. A copy of the Form 10-K is available at http://is.gd/EREKxQ Based in Almaty, Kazakhstan, BMB Munai, Inc., is a Nevada corporation that originally incorporated in the State of Utah in 1981. Since 2003, its business activities have focused on oil and natural gas exploration and production in the Republic of Kazakhstan through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary Emir Oil LLP. Emir Oil holds an exploration contract that allows the Company to conduct exploration drilling and oil production in the Mangistau Province in the southwestern region of Kazakhstan until January 2013. The exploration territory of its contract area is approximately 850 square kilometers and is comprised of three areas, referred to herein as the ADE Block, the Southeast Block and the Northwest Block. =========== R U S S I A =========== ABSOLUT BANK: Moody's Affirms LT National Scale Credit Rating ------------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Investors Service has affirmed Aa3.ru long-term national scale credit rating of Absolut Bank. The affirmation follows Moody's assessment of AB's audited financial statements for 2010, prepared under IFRS. RATINGS RATIONALE According to Moody's Interfax, the affirmation of AB's NSR follows affirmation of the bank's standalone E+ Bank Financial Strength Rating (BFSR), and the Ba3/Not-Prime long-term and short-term local and foreign currency bank deposit ratings that remain constrained by (i) the bank's low profitability and uncertainties over its ability to recover profitability given the highly competitive environment, (ii) relatively high credit risk and industry concentrations, albeit on a declining trend in 2010 , and (iii) the high dependence on parental funding. At the same time, the ratings are supported by the recent improvements in asset quality, as well as strong capital adequacy levels. During 2009 and 2010, AB focused on (i) deleveraging its balance sheet and disposing risky problem assets and (ii) maintaining manageable asset quality. As a result, AB's loan portfolio recorded a decrease of more than 40% in 2009-2010, mainly due to a decline in facilities provided to construction and real estate companies, and a reduction in the level of retail mortgages and car loans. The level of problem loans (defined 90+ days overdue and restructured loans) reduced to a system average of 21% as at 31 December 2010 from over 45% at 31 December 2009. Reduction of problem loans was driven by the write-off and sale of problem loans as well as success in recoveries by repossession of pledged assets, which accounted for 6% of Tier 1 capital as of year-end 2010. Discounts on the sale of problem loans were covered by provisions, and the provisioning charges were the main drivers for the bank's weak financial results as they absorbed almost 100% of operating income in 2009 and 15% in 2010. As of 31 December 2010, provisions covered 13.5% of the loan book, which Moody's considers to be sufficient to cover potential losses arising from current level of problem loans. At the same time, AB's profitability was negatively affected by a squeeze in interest margins, which decreased to a moderate 3.8% in 2010, from more comfortable 4.9% and 5.5% in 2009 and 2008, respectively. As the bank operates through a relatively wide branch network that is necessary to generate new business going forward, AB has limited flexibility to cut operating expenses, which accounted for 4.1% of average assets in 2010 (3.1% in 2009, 3.5% in 2008). Thanks to deleveraging, AB reported healthy a Tier 1 ratio of 14% and total capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 21% despite negative profitability. Moody's main area of concern is the bank's ability to restore recurring revenues in still challenging credit conditions in Russia. Moody's Interfax also notes that the bank's Aa3.ru NSR benefits from Moody's assessment of a low probability of support from its controlling shareholder -- KBC Bank (C+/Aa3, negative outlook) -- providing a one-notch uplift for AB's long-term deposit rating from its B1 standalone credit strength. Although KBC Bank owns a 99% stake in AB, the parent now regards Russia as a non-core market for its business, and Moody's therefore assumes that the probability of AB receiving parental support is less likely than for other foreign-owned peers in Russia and for other subsidiaries of KBC domiciled in the EU. PREVIOUS RATING ACTIONS AND PRINCIPAL METHODOLOGIES The principal methodologies used in this rating were Bank Financial Strength Ratings: Global Methodology published in February 2007, and Incorporation of Joint-Default Analysis into Moody's Bank Ratings: A Refined Methodology published in March 2007. Headquartered in Moscow, Russia, Absolut Bank reported total audited IFRS assets of RUB109 billion and total shareholders' equity of RUB13 billion as at YE2010. Moody's Interfax Rating Agency's National Scale Ratings (NSRs) are intended as relative measures of creditworthiness among debt issues and issuers within a country, enabling market participants to better differentiate relative risks. NSRs differ from Moody's global scale ratings in that they are not globally comparable with the full universe of Moody's rated entities, but only with NSRs for other rated debt issues and issuers within the same country. NSRs are designated by a ".nn" country modifier signifying the relevant country, as in ".ru" for Russia. For further information on Moody's approach to national scale ratings, please refer to Moody's Rating Implementation Guidance published in August 2010 entitled "Mapping Moody's National Scale Ratings to Global Scale Ratings." ABOUT MOODY'S AND MOODY'S INTERFAX Moody's Interfax Rating Agency (MIRA) specializes in credit risk analysis in Russia. MIRA is a joint-venture between Moody's Investors Service, a leading provider of credit ratings, research and analysis covering debt instruments and securities in the global capital markets, and the Interfax Information Services Group. Moody's Investors Service is a subsidiary of Moody's Corporation (NYSE: MCO). ABSOLUT BANK: Moody's Affirms 'E+' Bank Financial Strength Rating ----------------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the standalone E+ Bank Financial Strength Rating (BFSR), and the Ba3/Not-Prime long-term and short-term local and foreign currency bank deposit ratings of Absolut Bank. The BFSR carries a stable outlook, while all other long-term ratings carry a negative outlook. The affirmation follows Moody's assessment of AB's audited financial statements for 2010, prepared under IFRS.

PREVIOUS RATING ACTIONS AND PRINCIPAL METHODOLOGIES The principal methodologies used in this rating were Bank Financial Strength Ratings: Global Methodology published in February 2007, and Incorporation of Joint-Default Analysis into Moody's Bank Ratings: A Refined Methodology published in March 2007. Headquartered in Moscow, Russia, Absolut Bank reported total audited IFRS assets of RUB109 billion and total shareholders' equity of RUB13 billion as at YE2010. CREDIT EUROPE: Moody's Upgrades Financial Strength Rating to 'D-' ----------------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Investors Service has upgraded the standalone bank financial strength rating (BFSR) of Credit Europe Bank Ltd to D- from E+, with a stable outlook. The rating agency has also changed to positive from negative the outlook on the bank's Ba3 long-term debt and deposit ratings. CEB Ltd's Not-Prime short-term deposit ratings have been affirmed. RATINGS RATIONALE Standalone Ratings "The upgrade of CEB Ltd's standalone ratings recognizes the bank's strong performance amid the recent global financial crisis and improvement in its financial metrics over the recent year," says Semyon Isakov, a Moody's Assistant Vice-President and lead analyst for the bank. At year-end 2010, CEB Ltd's non-performing loans (NPLs) as a proportion of gross loans declined to 3.3%, from 7.4% a year earlier, while the bank reported return on average assets (RoAA) and return on equity (RoE) of 4.4% and 21.5%, respectively. As of end-December 2010, the Basel total capital adequacy ratio was 19.56% while NPLs were, in Moody's view, adequately covered by loan loss reserves of 3.67%. At the same time, according to Moody's, the bank's BFSR remains constrained by its high reliance on wholesale sources for funding. Supported Ratings Moody's decision to change the outlook on CEB Ltd's Ba3 long-term ratings to positive is triggered by: (i) the change of the outlook to positive from negative on the ratings of the bank's Dutch parent, Credit Europe Bank N.V. (CEB-NV, rated Ba2/D) dated 19 July 2011, and (ii) the upgrade of the bank's standalone BFSR to D- (now mapping to Ba3 on the long-term scale) from E+. Moody's continues to incorporate high probability of parental support into CEB's Ba3 debt and deposit ratings given the significant financial and key strategic importance of the Russian business for CEB N.V. At the current rating level, CEB Ltd's long- term ratings are not sensitive to the upgrade of the standalone ratings. However, if the parents' ratings were to be upgraded -- as reflected in their current positive outlook -- Moody's would expect CEB Ltd's deposit and debt rating to move in parallel, as reflected in the positive outlook on CEB Ltd's Ba3 debt and deposit ratings. PRINCIPAL METHODOLOGIES The principal methodologies used in this rating were Bank Financial Strength Ratings: Global Methodology published in February 2007, and Incorporation of Joint-Default Analysis into Moody's Bank Ratings: A Refined Methodology published in March 2007. Headquartered in Moscow, Russia, CEB Ltd reported total assets of RUB85 billion (approximately US$2.8 billion) and net income of RUB2.6 billion, according to (audited) IFRS at YE2010. ============================= S L O V A K R E P U B L I C ============================= VOLKSBANK SLOVENSKO: Fitch Puts LT Issuer Default Rating on RWN --------------------------------------------------------------- Fitch Ratings has placed Slovakia-based Volksbank Slovensko a.s.'s Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of 'BBB+' and Short-term IDR of 'F2' on Rating Watch Negative (RWN), and removed them from Rating Watch Evolving (RWE). The rating action follows the announcement on July 14, 2011 of the agreed sale of Volksbank International by Oesterreichische Volksbanken-Aktiengesellschaft (VBAG; 'A'/Stable) to Sberbank of Russia (Sberbank; 'BBB'/Stable). VBI, a management holding company which combines VBAG and other European cooperative banks' operations in central and eastern Europe, holds a 93% stake in VS. VBAG holds 51% of VBI. Sberbank will buy 100% of VBI from VBAG and other shareholders. The deal is expected to be legally completed by end-2011, and will require regulatory approvals. Fitch expects to resolve the RWN upon completion of the transaction. At this point, it is likely that VS's IDRs will be downgraded to 'BBB-', reflecting the expectation of support from the new parent, whose ability to provide such support is indicated by its Long-term IDR. At the same time, Fitch believes that VBI/VBAG will continue to provide full support for VS until the legal completion of the transaction. VS is mainly funded by client deposits and parent-related funding is negligible of below 1% at end-2010. No capital or liquidity support has been requested by VS during the crisis period. The rating actions are: -- Long-term IDR: 'BBB+'; placed on Rating Watch Negative (RWN), off RWE -- Short-term IDR: 'F2'; placed on RWN, off RWE -- Support Rating: '2'; affirmed, off RWE -- Individual Rating: 'D'; Unaffected ============= U K R A I N E ============= ALFA BANK: Fitch Upgrades Long-Term Issuer Default Rating to 'BB+' ------------------------------------------------------------------ Fitch Ratings has upgraded Alfa Bank's Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'BB+' from 'BB' and assigned a Stable Outlook. The agency has also affirmed MDM Bank OJSC's IDR at 'BB' with Stable Outlook. The upgrade of Alfa Bank's IDR reflects significant asset quality improvement, which coupled with a good quality customer franchise and relatively cheap funding costs creates momentum for sustainable future growth. The upgrade also reflects sound performance and good liquidity management through the cycle. Fitch also takes comfort from the successful track record through several crises, as well as provision of support from shareholders in difficult times. Constraining the rating are still significant credit risks on a few relatively big exposures, generally quite high borrower concentration, considerable market risk, as well as some political risk. Alfa's 2010 performance was strong (ROE of 19%). Most of the profit was derived from investment banking and unsecured retail lending, while corporate business reported only very modest results due to what Fitch considers to be excessive reserves. Non-performing loans (NPLs) reduced to 4% at end-2010 from 13% at end-2009, mostly due to the successful work-out of several large problem exposures. The remaining NPLs are 2x covered with reserves. Rolled-over loans (mostly leasing) stood at 6.5% at end- 2010. Alfa expects restructured leasing exposure to decrease significantly by end-Q311. Fitch also regards as potentially problematic a few exposures (in total about 4% of loans), which are not classified as NPLs but show some signs of impairment, in the agency's view. However, the risk is mitigated by strong collateral (in some cases) and generally excessive reserves created in 2010. Considerable market risk stems mainly from opportunistic investment banking; high-volume derivatives trading, of which most is client-driven, according to management; and to a much lesser degree, fixed income securities portfolio of good credit quality. However, Fitch has a reasonable level of comfort given Alfa's previous good track record in managing such risks. Liquidity is comfortable with about 25% of liquid assets maintained at end-H111. This exceeds US$98 million of wholesale funding maturing in H211 and US$661 million due in 2012 (the latter amount conservatively includes callable subordinated debt of US$251 million). Capitalization is solid (Basel I total and Tier 1 ratios of 18.2% and 12.6%, respectively, at end-2010), partly burdened by a US$336 million (11% of equity) investment in Pamplona Credit Opportunities Fund, which Fitch considers to be non-core. Adjusted for this investment (deducting it from equity), Alfa could withstand about 15% of credit losses before its Basel I total capital adequacy ratio decreases to 12%. This should also be viewed in the context of relatively good asset quality and shareholders' apparent ability to provide capital if needed. The affirmation of MDM's ratings reflects Fitch's base-case expectation that the bank should be able to gradually recover after significant asset quality deterioration, reflected in still high non-performing loans (14% of end-2010 loans), restructured loans (9%) and foreclosed properties (equivalent to 4%). Fitch believes the borrowers' repayment ability and the bank's performance should benefit from the improved operating environment. MDM's new strategy, which focuses on small and medium-sized businesses with greater emphasis on asset quality, is also aimed at reducing risks. However, there are uncertainties in implementing this, as well a risk of asset quality relapses. A specific area of concern is eight of MDM's 20 largest exposures amounting to 13% of gross loans. These are not classified as NPLs (some are not even considered impaired) but nevertheless potentially problematic, in Fitch's opinion, including due to them being poorly reserved and some also with weak collateral coverage. Mitigating credit risks and supporting the rating is a high capital buffer (Basel I total and Tier 1 ratios of 20.3% and 18.6%, respectively, at end-2010), which allows for the creation of an extra RUB31 billion of reserves (12% of loans) before the Basel I total capital ratio drops to 12%. This would be sufficient to absorb losses, even if several of large borrower defaults happen, before MDM would require new capital. Reserve coverage of current NPLs was a satisfactory 83% at end-2010. Due to the limited liquidity of the loan book and MDM's increased reliance on retail term deposits (35% of end-2010 liabilities), it needs to keep a significant liquidity buffer (about US$2.1 billion at end-H111) to address the risk of potential withdrawals. This will weigh on profitability, which will also be susceptible to trends in market rates. Given the long-term nature of MDM's recovery prospects, the upside for the ratings is currently limited. A major worsening of asset quality, due to, for example, large corporate defaults and lack of shareholder capital injections, could result in a downgrade. Although remote, as reflected in the sovereign's 'BBB' rating with a Positive Outlook, the risk of a sharp worsening of the operating environment and/or major liquidity shortage on the market is nevertheless significant over the expected recovery timeframe. This could hamper the upturn and put pressure on MDM's liquidity position. The rating actions are: OJSC Alfa-Bank -- Long-term IDR: upgraded to 'BB+' from 'BB'; Stable Outlook -- Senior unsecured debt: upgraded to 'BB+' from 'BB' -- Subordinated debt: upgraded to 'BB' from 'BB-' -- Short-term IDR: affirmed at 'B' -- Individual Rating: affirmed at 'C/D' -- Support Rating: affirmed at '4' -- Support Rating Floor: affirmed at 'B' -- National Long-term rating: upgraded to 'AA(rus)' from 'AA- (rus)'; Stable Outlook MDM Bank (OJSC) -- Long-term foreign and local currency IDRs: affirmed at 'BB'; Stable Outlooks -- Senior unsecured debt: affirmed at 'BB' -- Short-term IDR: affirmed at 'B' -- Individual Rating: affirmed at 'C/D' -- Support Rating: affirmed at '4' -- Support Rating Floor: affirmed at 'B' -- National Long-term Rating: affirmed at 'AA-(rus)' DONGORBANK PJSC: Moody's Withdraws 'E+' Financial Strength Rating ----------------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Investors Service has withdrawn the following ratings of Dongorbank (DGB): Bank Financial Strength Rating (BFSR) of E+; local currency deposit ratings of B2/Not Prime; foreign currency deposit ratings of B3/Not Prime; local currency senior unsecured debt rating of B2; and National Scale Rating (NSR) of A3.ua. At the time of withdrawal, the outlook on DGB's local currency deposit and debt ratings was negative, while the outlook on its BFSR and foreign currency deposit rating was stable. RATINGS RATIONALE Moody's decision to withdraw DGB's ratings is prompted by the completion of the legal merger of DGB into First Ukrainian International Bank on July 15, 2011, whereby DGB ceased to exist as a separate entity. At the time of the ratings withdrawal DGB had two outstanding senior unsecured bonds in local currency, each amounting UAH100 million and rated B2/A3.ua. The rating agency understands that the merged First Ukrainian International Bank has assumed all the obligations of DGB, including the rated senior unsecured bonds. PREVIOUS RATING ACTIONS Headquartered in Donetsk, Ukraine, DGB reported total assets of US$1.15 billion and shareholders' equity of US$92 million as of year-end 2010, according to the bank's audited IFRS financial statements. Moody's National Scale Ratings (NSRs) are intended as relative measures of creditworthiness among debt issues and issuers within a country, enabling market participants to better differentiate relative risks. NSRs differ from Moody's global scale ratings in that they are not globally comparable with the full universe of Moody's rated entities, but only with NSRs for other rated debt issues and issuers within the same country. NSRs are designated by a ".nn" country modifier signifying the relevant country, as in ".ua" for Ukraine. For further information on Moody's approach to national scale ratings, please refer to Moody's Rating Implementation Guidance published in August 2010 entitled "Mapping Moody's National Scale Ratings to Global Scale Ratings." SOTSKOMBANK: Central Bank Extends Administration for Third Time --------------------------------------------------------------- Daryna Krasnolutska at Bloomberg News reports that Ukraine's central bank extended its administration of PAT KB Sotskombank for a third time through Oct. 21. According to Bloomberg, the Kiev-based Natsionalnyi Bank Ukrainy gave no reason for the extension in a statement on Thursday on its Web site. Bloomberg notes that the statement said Nataliya Khorolenko will remain as the lender's administrator. =========================== U N I T E D K I N G D O M =========================== 38 SELF DRIVE: In Liquidation, Sells Fleet of Vehicles ------------------------------------------------------ Gainsborough Standard reports that 38 Self drive Ltd has gone into liquidation. The downfall of the business is being blamed on the economic climate, Gainsborough Standard says. According to Gainsborough Standard, the company's vehicle fleet of 38 vehicles was sold at auction earlier last week by CJM Asset Management. "The downturn in business activity is having a knock-on effect on demand for van hire," Gainsborough Standard quotes CJM director Paul Cooper as saying. "The owners of 38selfdrive have struggled to keep going, trying everything they could to drum up new business, but sadly events have overtaken them." Gainsborough Standard notes that all the vehicles were last week sold at auction in Scunthorpe for between GBP6,000 and GBP11,000 each. The money will be sent to the liquidator, the report says. 38 Self drive Ltd -- http://www.38selfdrive.com/-- is a Gainsborough-based van and truck hire firm. GREENSANDS LTD: Fitch Affirms 'B' Long-Term Issuer Default Rating ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fitch Ratings has revised Greensands (UK) Limited's Outlook to Negative from Stable and affirmed the Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'B'. The agency has also affirmed Greensands' senior secured rating at 'B+'. The bonds issued by Southern Water (Greensands) Financing plc (SWF) are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Greensands as well as its parent, Greensands Holdings Limited, and its two subsidiaries, Greensands Junior Finance Limited and Greensands Senior Finance Limited. Therefore, SWF's bonds' senior secured rating has also been affirmed at 'B+'/RR3. The revision of the Outlook to Negative reflects the cash flow dynamics of the group's main operating company, Southern Water Services Limited (Southern Water). On July 15, 2011, Fitch downgraded Southern Water's financing vehicle, Southern Water Services (Finance) Limited's, senior secured ratings to 'A-' for Class A and 'BBB' for Class B. This reflected Southern Water's weakening operating performance, as evidenced by operating expenditure and capital expenditure overspending in comparison to regulatory targets, which included an increase in the annual doubtful debt charge of around GBP9 million. Southern Water's management expects to compensate the impact of additional operating expenditure on cash flow through better working capital management. However, in terms of calculating dividend cover at the holding company level, Fitch considers it as more risky to rely on working capital management to safeguard servicing of holding company debt, and therefore does not reflect this potential effect in its analysis. Operational dividend cover as forecasted by Fitch for the remaining years of the ongoing price control period, extending until March 2015, has dropped below the ratio guideline of 1.5x dividend cover for a 'B' IDR. At the same time, Fitch notes that its forecast is conservative and focuses on all available information on downside moves, but gives little credit for upside, including retail price inflation above forecast assumptions (FY12 assumption was 3.5% and 2.5% thereafter), and the potential for an interim determination of K, a re-opener mechanism in the regulatory regime, for expenditure related to the adoption of private sewers. Following the refinancing in April 2011 Greensands Investments Limited, an indirect subsidiary of Greensands, holds GBP38 m in cash and SWF has access to a GBP25 million undrawn, committed revolving credit facility (with maturity in April 2016), both available for SWF's debt service. Considering the likely dividend to be upstreamed during FY12, the holding companies will have available cash to cover SWF's debt service well into 2013. Gearing in terms of pension adjusted net debt/economic regulatory asset value for FY11 was calculated at 93.5%, broadly in line with previous guidance. Calculations of financial ratios used by Fitch differ from covenants of the transaction documentation. Greensands is an intermediate holding company that indirectly owns Southern Water, the regulated, monopoly provider of water and sewage services for parts of Sussex, Kent, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, UK. SWF is Greensands' financing vehicle. KEYDATA INVESTMENT: FSA Can't Use E-mails in Probe, Lawyers Claim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Kit Chellel at Bloomberg News reports that lawyers for Keydata Investment Services Ltd. founder, Stewart Ford, are seeking to prevent U.K. regulators from using in an investigation seized e-mails that were sent by the insolvent company's law firm. According to Bloomberg, the lawyers told a London court on Thursday that the e-mails contained confidential legal advice and shouldn't have been available to the Financial Services Authority. "The FSA prides itself on being a fair and transparent regulator," Bloomberg quotes Hodge Malek, one of Ford's lawyers, as saying. "We say it was neither fair nor transparent in the way it got the e-mails." Keydata was forced into administration by the FSA in 2009 and the U.K. regulator is investigating potentially misleading marketing and tax irregularities at the company, which managed as much as GBP2.8 billion (US$4.6 billion) before it failed. Bloomberg relates that the FSA obtained the e-mails in 2009 from Keydata's administrators at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and Ford's lawyers said they contained material covered by "legal and professional privilege." The founder and former chief executive officer of Keydata was granted a judicial review in May to question the way the FSA carried out its investigation, Bloomberg recounts. "The FSA maintains that it is lawfully able to use this material," Bloomberg quotes the agency as saying in an e-mailed statement following Thursday's judicial hearing. As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe, Dan Schwarzmann and Mark Batten of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP were appointed joint administrators of Keydata on June 8, 2009. The appointment was made based on an application to court by the FSA on insolvency grounds. Keydata Investment Services Ltd. designs, distributes and administers structured investment products. Keydata operates from three locations, being London, Glasgow and Reading and administers its own products as well as portfolios for third parties. =============== X X X X X X X X =============== *

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.
