BETONSPORTS PLC: Liquidators Urge Owed Players to File Claim
------------------------------------------------------------
BetonSports plc's owed players were urged by Peter Wastell and
Nigel Hamilton-Smith of Vantis plc, appointed liquidators of the
firm's subsidiary, Betonsports (Antigua) Ltd, to submit their
claims as the firm was declared insolvent by over US$25 million,
various reports say.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
June 11, 2007, Vantis Business Recovery Services, a division of
Vantis plc, has placed BetonSports into creditors' voluntary
liquidation on May 16, 2007.  BetonSports ceased trading as a
result of an indictment and permanent injunction issued by the
U.S. Department of Justice against the company and certain of
its subsidiaries.  The suspension of trading of the company's
shares at the London Stock Exchange was confirmed on July 19,
2006, with de-listing taking effect on Jan. 19, 2007.

The liquidators, Online-Casinos.com relates, said they and
BetonSports have faced difficulties since the July 2006
shutdown.  Vantis has described the U.S. DOJ's actions as having
a "devastating effect" on the company.

On Nov. 22, 2006, the Financial Services Regulatory Commission
sought and obtained an order from the High Court in Antigua
freezing BetonSports' assets and disallowing trading or
distribution of assets.

According to the Online-Casinos report, the company's board of
directors disclosed, in February 2007, that the company' balance
sheet showed US$10 million in total assets and US$26.9 million
in total debts.  "Although the liabilities figure includes
betters/players/customers balances of $6.8million, we now know
that these players are owed over $15.8million (as per the
company's database)," the report adds, citing Vantis as saying.

Vantis is attempting to collect an additional US$8 million,
which is known to be outstanding from BetonSports' debtors
across the globe, IGamingBusiness.com reports.

Vantis reportedly disclosed that its fee structure from the
liquidation is 5% of asset recoveries and US$20 per creditor
claim agreed, reconciled to the BetonSports system, and paid.  
According to IGamingBusiness, the 5% collection fee won't be
applied to funds passed to the liquidator by the FSRC, and legal
fees and disbursements are charged to the liquidation estate at
cost.

Owed players who have not yet submitted a claim are obliged to
file at: https://betonsports.vantisplc.com/

BetonSports plc is an online gaming company publicly trading on
the London Stock Exchange, but has no operations in the United
Kingdom.  Around 80% of the company's business operates in the
United States, where sports betting is illegal except in the
State of Nevada.  The group also has operations in China,
Argentina, and Mexico.  BetonSports was ordered last year by a
U.S. federal court to stop operating in Antigua and Costa Rica
-- from where it accepted bets from thousands of American
customers.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. is currently not planning to acquire  
part of the Italian government's 49.9 stake in Alitalia S.p.A.,

however, said the bank is not ruling out a possible stake
acquisition, Reuters says.

According Mr. Bazoli, Reuters relates, Intesa's current focus is
to draft a report on Alitalia's financial situation, which would

Sanpaolo S.p.A. as sale advisor, Bloomberg News relates.

Mr. Tremonti was quoted by Thomson Financial News as saying that  
the decree should pose no problem with the European Commission
since it is line with the European Union's orientation on
privatizations.

ARANTES ALIMENTOS: Moody's Puts B2 Rating to US$150 Mil. Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a B2 rating to Arantes
Alimentos Ltda.'s proposed US$150 million senior unsecured notes
due in 2013, issued by Arantes International Ltd., but
unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Arantes Alimentos,
subject to closing.  The company's local currency corporate
family rating was affirmed at B2.  The rating outlook is stable.

"Arantes's B2 rating takes into account its initial high
leverage; relative small size in terms of revenues and scale;
limited operational history and geographic diversification of
its slaughterhouses compared to other Brazilian rated protein
processors; as well as its high reliance on significant revenue
and EBITDA increases in FY 2008 to reduce leverage and meet
financial covenants," says Moody's Vice-President Senior Analyst
Soummo Mukherjee.  "At the same time, the B2 rating continues to
be supported by the industry's competitive cost structure
resulting in higher margins than most of its global peers, the
company's experienced management team, its product
diversification strategy into higher-value added products and
the expected lower leverage going forward."

Arantes Alimentos intends to use the net proceeds of this
offering to repay a portion of existing short-term debt and for
capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.  Moody's
has reviewed preliminary draft legal documentation for the
transaction.  The rating assumes there will be no material
variation from the drafts reviewed and that all legal agreements
are legally valid, binding and enforceable.

The company's initial leverage as measured by Net Debt to EBITDA
(for the last twelve months ended in March 2007) continues to be
high for its rating category at approximately 4.3 times.  
Moody's further notes that Arantes Alimentos has very little
room under its bond financial covenants, which require the
company to reduce leverage to 4.25 times as of July 1, 2008, and
4.0 times as of Jan. 1, 2009, with further covenant step-downs
in July 2009 and January 2010.

Therefore, Moody's B2 rating and stable outlook are based on its
expectation that the company will be able to maintain sufficient
cushion on its financial covenants due to growth in revenues and
EBITDA and possible cash proceeds from its ongoing equity
capital raising efforts in the local and international private
and public capital markets.

Following the acquisition of Frigo Eder in October 2007, Arantes
Alimentos entered into a purchase agreement in February and
April of 2008 to acquire two additional specialty meats
processing facilities to complement its strategy to diversify
into higher margin value-added protein-based products.  While
Moody's views positively the company's steps to diversify its
product offering, the rating agency will monitor its ability to
successfully integrate new acquisitions without negatively
impacting its existing core beef processing business.

The B2 foreign-currency rating assigned to the senior unsecured
notes is at the same level as the global local currency
corporate family rating because of the guarantee from Arantes
Alimentos, which holds the of all of the group's operating
assets, cash generation and cash and has an overall low level of
secured debt (less than 10% of total adjusted debt).  The stable
outlook assumes that the company will maintain sufficient
cushion on its current bond financial covenants and deliver on
its strategic initiatives to expand slaughter capacity and
significantly grow sales and cash flow generation, leading to
improved debt protection measures going forward.

The company's rating could come under downward pressure if the
company experiences difficulties to deliver on its growth
strategy and/or its financial covenant cushion remains tight.  
To the extent that Arantes Alimentos' growth strategy leads to
higher net debt levels, the current rating and/or outlook could
also come under negative pressure.  Quantitatively, the ratings
would likely be downgraded if the company's Debt/EBITDA on a
last-twelve month basis is higher than 5.0 times.

Upward pressure on the company's current rating could be
considered if it delivers on its strategic plans to grow and
diversify its revenues and cash flow, with increased revenues
from processed products and reduced concentration of its export
markets.  An upgrade would also require improved financial
reporting standards, including ongoing quarterly financial
reporting with cash flow statements and management discussion
and analysis.  Quantitatively, upward pressure would arise if
Arantes Alimentos is able to reduce Debt/EBITDA to below 4.0
times on a sustainable basis.

For the last twelve months ending on March 31, 2008, Arantes
Alimentos had revenues of BRL743 million.

Headquartered in Sao Jose do Rio Preto, Brazil, Arantes
Alimentos Ltda. -- http://www.arantesalimentos.com.br/--  
started operations in February 2005 and is owned 50/50 by the

CIA. SIDERURGICA: Prosper Recommends "Buy" on Firm's Shares
-----------------------------------------------------------
Noticias Financieras reports that brokerage firm Prosper
Corretora has assigned a "buy" recommendation on Companhia
Siderurgica Nacional SA's shares.

A fair price for Companhia Siderurgica's shares is BRL79,
Noticias Financieras relates, citing Prosper Corretora.

Propsper Corretora analyst Andre Segadilha told Noticias
Financieras that Companhia Siderurgica's decision to buy up to
10.8 million outstanding shares, or 2.4% of the firm's total
outstanding shares, "for permanence in the treasury and
posterior alienation or canceling" is good for the shareholders.  
"We believe that, due to the amount of the operation and its
terms, the value of CSN's [Companhia Siderurgica] shares should
be favored in the short term," Mr. Segadilha added.

Headquartered Sao Paolo, Brazil, Companhia Siderurgica Nacional
S.A. -- http://www.csn.com.br/-- produces, sells, exports and
distributes steel products, like hot-dip galvanized sheets, tin
mill products and tinplate.  The company also runs its own iron
ore, manganese, limestone and dolomite mines and has strategic
investments in railroad companies and power supply projects.
The group also operates in Brazil, Portugal and the U.S.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
June 3, 2008, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its BB
corporate credit rating on Companhia Siderurgica Nacional on
CreditWatch with positive implications.


FLEXTRONICS INT'L: Fitch Holds Ratings, Outlook Now Stable
----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has revised the Rating Outlook for Flextronics
International Ltd. to Stable from Negative.  Fitch also affirmed
these ratings for Flextronics:

  -- Issuer Default Rating at 'BB+';
  -- Senior unsecured credit facility at 'BB+';
  -- Senior subordinated notes at 'BB-'

The Stable Outlook reflects these considerations:

  -- Flextronics has demonstrated two quarters of strong results
     following its US$3.6 billion acquisition of Solectron in
     October 2007.

  -- The company has completed the integration of Solectron's
     operations, achieving its targeted annual cost savings of
     US$238 million ahead of schedule with potential for further
     cost synergies.

  -- Fitch believes Flextronics continues to outperform its
     North American peers in operational execution which has led
     to incremental market share gains as evidenced by above
     industry-average revenue growth over the past several
     quarters.

  -- Fitch estimates pro forma leverage to be approximately 2.4x
     currently and expects leverage to decline closer to 2.0x
     over the next one to two years from a combination of debt
     reduction and profitability improvement.  Fitch estimates
     current pro forma leverage adjusted for off-balance sheet
     accounts receivable securitization and sales facilities as
     well as operating leases to be approximately 3.4x.

The ratings are supported by these:

  -- Significant advantage in scale and scope of operations as
     the second largest provider of electronics manufacturing
     services in the world.

  -- Very strong track record of execution as evidenced by peer
     leading return on invested capital and cash conversion
     cycle days.

  -- Blue chip customer base with strong exposure to faster
     growing market segments, particularly in the consumer
     space.

  -- High working capital is expected to represent an additional
     source of liquidity in a market downturn

Ratings concerns include these:

  -- The cost of future acquisitions could offset the expected
     reduction in leverage over the next several years.

  -- Flextronics has an aggressive acquisition growth strategy
     in an industry with significant execution risk with minimal
     room for execution missteps due to the relatively low
     profit margin inherent in the business model.

  -- A difficult competitive environment which has pressured
     profitability across the industry.

  -- Typical for the industry, Flextronics has customer
     concentration risk with the top 10 customers accounting for
     54% of revenue in fiscal 2008 (end Mar 2008) with one
     customer, Sony-Ericsson accounting for greater than 10% of
     total revenue

Liquidity as of March 31, 2008 was solid with US$1.7 billion in
cash and a fully available US$2 billion senior unsecured
revolving credit facility which expires in May 2012.  
Additionally, Fitch expects Flextronics to produce strong free
cash flow in excess of US$500 million annually although changes
in working capital requirements could have a significant
positive or negative affect on free cash flow in any given
period.  Flextronics utilizes an accounts receivable
securitization facility as well as accounts receivable sales
agreements for additional liquidity purposes.

Total debt as of March 31, 2008 was US$3.4 billion and consisted
primarily of US$1.7 billion outstanding under a senior unsecured
term loan facility which partially expires in October 2012 with
a final maturity in October 2014; US$195 million in 0% junior
convertible subordinated notes due July 2009; US$500 million in
1% convertible subordinated notes due August 2010; US$400
million in 6.5% senior subordinated notes due May 2013; and
US$400 million in 6.25% senior subordinated notes due November
2014.  Flextronics also had US$274 million outstanding under its
accounts receivable securitization facility and US$478 million
outstanding under various accounts receivable sales agreements.

GOL LINHAS: Taps Richard Lark as New Board Member & CEO Advisor
---------------------------------------------------------------
GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes SA, parent company of Brazilian

said that Richard Lark will assume a new role as a member of the
company's board of directors and as an advisor to the Chief
Executive Officer, Constantino de Oliveira Junior, effective
June 16, 2008.  As part of the board, Mr. Lark will continue to
coordinate several of the company's policy and operating

Mr. Lark will remain heavily involved in the company's
strategic, financial and operational activities, but will
transition his responsibilities as Executive Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer to three senior members of GOL's current
management team.

Anna Bettencourt will assume the role of Finance Director and
Investor Relations Officer and responsibility as the primary
contact for market participants, analysts and investors.  Prior
to joining GOL in 2007, Ms. Bettencourt spent nine years running
the investor relations and capital markets areas of Embraer.

Fabio Pereira will continue in his role as Controller.

William Cattan will continue in his role as Accounting and Tax
Director, and assume the role of Principal Accounting Officer.

During Mr. Lark's term as finance chief, the company raised over
US$2 billion of long-term financing and was one of the first
non-U.S. issuers to certify its financial statements in
accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Law of 2002.

"Richard has been a key player in our history, building GOL's
financial strength and team, and we are happy that we will be
able to draw upon his considerable experience through his
participation on our Board and our very important operating
committees," said Mr. de Oliveira Junior.  "We are sure we will
have a smooth transition, as Richard put together a very solid
structure in our financial area, and will continue to give the
team his support and advice."

Based in Sao Paulo, Brazil, GOL Intelligent Airlines aka GOL

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
May 29, 2008, Moody's Investors Service has downgraded all debt
ratings of Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A. including
corporate family rating to Ba3 from Ba2 and downgraded the
senior unsecured debt of Gol Finance to Ba3 from Ba2.  The
outlook has been changed to negative from stable.

As reported on July 25, 2007, Fitch Ratings affirmed the 'BB+'
foreign and local currency issuer default ratings of Gol Linhas
Aereas Inteligentes S.A.  Fitch also affirmed the outstanding
US$200 million perpetual bonds and US$200 million of senior
notes due 2017 at 'BB+' as well as the company's 'AA-' (bra)
national scale rating.  Fitch said the rating outlook is stable.


XERIUM TECHNOLOGIES: S&P Affirms CCC+ Corporate Credit Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has affirmed its ratings on
Xerium Technologies Inc., including the 'CCC+' corporate credit
rating, and removed them from CreditWatch, where they were
originally placed with negative implications on March 19, 2008.  
At the same time, S&P assigned a positive outlook.  The company
had total debt of roughly US$672 million as of March 31, 2008.
      
"The CreditWatch resolution reflects that Xerium has secured a
credit facility amendment that reduces the likelihood of a
financial covenant breach," said S&P's credit analyst James
Siahaan.  In addition, the positive outlook reflects the
possibility that S&P could raise the ratings in the near future,
provided that the company maintains adequate headroom under the
financial covenants through cash generation and debt repayment.
Headroom under the company's total leverage ratio, interest
coverage ratio, and fixed-charge coverage ratio has increased,
and dividend payments have been prohibited for the remaining
life of the credit agreement.  

In addition, the company now has the ability to exempt certain
exchange rate fluctuations in calculating its total leverage
ratio; the inability to do so had contributed to high leverage
figures under the previous calculations, as exchange rates moved
against the U.S. dollar and Xerium's foreign debt balance
outpaced its earnings growth.
     
The ratings on Xerium reflect the company's highly leveraged
balance sheet, its limited liquidity, its modest size as a
supplier to niche markets, and its dependence on the papermaking
industry, all of which limit the company's organic growth
potential.  Partly mitigating these weaknesses are the company's
good operating margins, its geographic diversity, and the strong
competitive position of its niche product.
     
The recent amendment to Xerium's credit agreement has alleviated
short-term liquidity pressures.  S&P could raise the ratings if
the company is successful in generating cash, reducing costs,
paying down debt, and maintaining adequate headroom under its
credit agreement.  However, S&P notes that while the receipt of
the amendment is positive, financial covenants will tighten in
the fourth quarter of 2008, which may potentially cause
liquidity issues to reappear.  S&P would want to see more
clarity on this possibility before taking further rating
actions.

SCIENTIFIC GAMES: S&P Lifts Sub Debt Rating to BB- From B+
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has raised its issue-level
rating on Scientific Games Corp.'s existing subordinated debt to
'BB-' from 'B+'.  The recovery rating on these securities was
revised to '5', indicating that lenders can expect modest (10%
to 30%) recovery in the event of a payment default, from '6'.
     
At the same time, Standard & Poor's assigned its 'BB-' issue-
level rating with a recovery rating of '5' to subsidiary
Scientific Games International Inc.'s proposed US$200 million
senior subordinated notes due 2016.
     
Standard & Poor's also affirmed its issue-level rating on
Scientific Games International's proposed US$800 million credit
facilities at 'BBB-'.  The recovery rating on these loans
remains at '1', indicating that lenders can expect very high
(90% to 100%) recovery in the event of a payment default.  The
proposed credit facilities consist of a US$250 million revolving
credit facility and a US$550 million term loan (US$50 million
less than previously proposed).
     
In addition, Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'BB' corporate
credit rating on Scientific Games Corp.  The rating outlook is
stable.
     
"The revisions of the subordinated debt issue-level and recovery
ratings reflect a net increase in total debt and a decrease in
senior secured debt outstanding from that used in our previous
recovery analysis," explained Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Ben Bubeck.  "As a result, a less significant deterioration in
cash flow would be required to produce a payment default, which
also increases the emergence enterprise value and improves the
recovery prospects for the subordinated debt holders."
     
Despite the fact that Scientific Games will be placing a net of
US$150 million more debt than previously proposed, S&P's
affirmation of the 'BB' corporate credit rating reflects
Scientific Games' solid credit metrics for the rating.  As
indicated in our May 13, 2008 research update, these metrics
allowed for moderate capacity to continue to invest in the
business and/or pursue additional acquisition opportunities.  
Furthermore, S&P view the additional liquidity as a positive
rating factor given the company's recent success in winning new
contracts and the associated capital spending needs as these
contracts are ramped up.  Still, following the proposed debt
issuances, capacity for additional debt is limited at the
current rating and outlook.
     
Proceeds from the proposed US$550 million term loan and
US$200 million senior subordinated notes will be used to
refinance the existing credit facilities and are expected to add
in excess of US$110 million of cash to the balance sheet.  The
proposed US$250 million revolving credit facility will be
undrawn at close, although availability will be about
US$210 million, net of existing letters of credit.  The proposed
bank facility is due five years from the close of the
transaction, subject to certain requirements addressing the
refinancing of and a holders "put" option for the existing
subordinated debt obligations.  The proposed senior subordinated
notes will be due in 2016.
     
The rating on Scientific Games reflects the highly competitive
market conditions in the lottery and pari-mutuel industries, the
mature nature and capital intensity of the online lottery
industry, and the company's acquisitive growth strategy.  Still,
Scientific Games maintains a leadership position in the instant
ticket lottery and pari-mutuel gaming industries, which fuels
substantial recurring revenue and a stable cash flow base given
long-term contracts.  The company also has consistently
demonstrated credit metrics appropriate for the rating.

Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) --  
http://www.scientificgames.com/-- is an integrated supplier of   
instant tickets, systems and services to lotteries worldwide, a

WARNER MUSIC: Discontinues Payment of Quarterly Dividend
--------------------------------------------------------
Warner Music Group Corp. disclosed in a regulatory filing that
it has discontinued its previous policy of paying a regular
quarterly dividend.

On Feb. 29, 2008, the company paid its final quarterly dividend
of US$0.13 per share.

The company currently intends to retain future earnings to build
cash on the balance sheet and continue its successful A&R
investment track record.

Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the
discretion of the company's Board of Directors and will depend
on, among other things, the company's results of operations,
cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions
and other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

WARNER MUSIC: March 31 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by US$103MM
------------------------------------------------------------
Warner Music Group Corp. reported second-quarter 2008 financial
results for the period ended March 31, 2008 and in an effort to
increase its financial flexibility has suspended its previous
policy of paying a regular quarterly dividend.

"Warner Music continues to outperform the industry and gain
share in key markets, which is a testament to our commitment to
investing in A&R and leading the recorded music industry's
transition through innovation and creativity," said Edgar
Bronfman, Jr., Warner Music Group's Chairman and CEO.  "While an
uncertain economic backdrop and evolving recorded music industry
make a conservative approach to our balance sheet a prudent
strategy, we remain excited about the long-term prospects for
our business.  In particular, we are gratified by WMG's
excellent digital results this quarter, which highlight our
leadership position in driving this critical segment of the
music business."

Michael Fleisher, Warner Music Group's Executive Vice President
and CFO, added, "We regularly evaluate our capital deployment
strategy.  Our Board and our management believe it is sensible
to maximize capital flexibility, given the vagaries of both the
economy and recorded music market, by suspending our dividend to
build cash reserves and reduce net debt.  This action will give
us the freedom to maintain our level of A&R investment, while
enhancing shareholder returns over time."

                       Second-Quarter Results

For the second quarter 2008, revenue grew 2.0% to US$800 million
from US$784 million in the prior-year quarter, and fell 3.6% on
a constant-currency basis.  This performance was tempered by the
ongoing transition in the recorded music industry characterized
by a shift in consumption patterns from physical sales to new
forms of digital music and the continued impact of digital
piracy.  Domestic revenue declined 13.8% while international
revenue grew 19.9%, and grew 6.7% on a constant-currency basis.
On a constant-currency basis, revenue grew in Europe, Asia-
Pacific, Latin America and Canada.

Operating income from continuing operations grew 47.4% to US$28
million from US$19 million in the prior-year quarter and
operating margin from continuing operations increased 1.1
percentage points to 3.5%.  OIBDA from continuing operations
increased 20.0% to US$96 million from US$80 million in the
prior-year quarter and OIBDA margin from continuing operations
grew 1.8 percentage points to 12.0%.  Operating income, OIBDA,
operating margin and OIBDA margin for the second quarter of
fiscal 2007 reflected US$16 million in restructuring-related
charges in connection with the company's fiscal 2007 realignment
initiatives.

Loss from continuing operations was US$34 million, or US$0.23
per diluted share for the quarter.  Loss in the prior-year
quarter was US$27 million, or US$0.19 per diluted share.

As of March 31, 2008, the company reported a cash balance of
US$249 million, total long-term debt of US$2.27 billion and net
debt (total long-term debt minus cash) of US$2.0 billion.

For the quarter, net cash provided by operating activities was
US$132 million.  Free Cash Flow amounted to US$99 million,
compared to Free Cash Flow of US$49 million in the comparable
fiscal 2007 quarter.  Unlevered After-Tax Cash Flow (defined as
Free Cash Flow excluding cash interest paid) was US$128 million,
compared to Unlevered After-Tax Cash Flow of US$73 million in
the comparable fiscal 2007 quarter.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the company reported a net
loss of US$37 million compared to a net loss of US$27 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.  The company's balance
sheet on the other hand showed that as of March 31, 2008, the
company had total assets of US$4,532,000,000 and total
liabilities of US$4,635,000,000 resulting in a shareholders'
deficit of US$103 million.  

                          Recorded Music

Revenue from the company's Recorded Music business increased
0.6% from the prior-year quarter to US$652 million, and was down
4.4% on a constant-currency basis.  The decline in constant-
currency revenue primarily reflected strength in Europe, Asia-
Pacific, Latin America and Canada, more than offset by declines
in domestic revenue.  Year-over-year revenue increased in the
international physical Recorded Music business and the global
digital Recorded Music business on a constant-currency basis.

Recorded Music digital revenue of US$155 million grew 47.6% over
the prior-year quarter and represented 23.8% of total Recorded
Music revenue.  Domestic Recorded Music digital revenue amounted
to US$101 million or 34.0% of total domestic Recorded Music
revenue.  Digital sales strength was primarily driven by growth
in global online downloads, and to a lesser extent mobile.

Major sellers in the quarter included titles from R.E.M., Simple
Plan, Kobukuro, Nickelback and the Juno soundtrack.
International Recorded Music revenue surged 22.4% from the
prior-year quarter to US$355 million, and rose 9.6% on a
constant-currency basis, while domestic Recorded Music revenue
slid 17.0% from the prior-year quarter to US$297 million.

The constant-currency growth in international Recorded Music
revenue in the quarter was the result of increases in the U.K.,
Germany, France and Japan.  Gains in international revenue were
attributable to improved local repertoire and international
releases as compared to the prior-year quarter and a
contribution from international touring and management
businesses.

Year-over-year differences in the domestic Recorded Music
business were due to the timing of releases and declines in the
physical business, which are not currently being fully offset by
growth in the digital business, though digital performance was
quite strong.  Retailers are more actively managing their
inventory levels in response to the tougher economy and credit
markets as well as the changing underlying demand for physical
recorded music product.

Recorded Music operating income from continuing operations
totaled US$22 million in the quarter, up 69.2% from US$13
million in the prior-year quarter, resulting in an operating
margin from continuing operations of 3.4% compared to 2.0% in
the prior-year quarter.  Recorded Music OIBDA from continuing
operations rose 27.3% to US$70 million for the quarter, compared
to US$55 million in the prior-year quarter.  Recorded Music
OIBDA margin from continuing operations expanded 2.2 percentage
points to 10.7% from the prior-year quarter.  Recorded Music
operating income, OIBDA, operating margin and OIBDA margin for
the second quarter of fiscal 2007 reflected US$15 million in
Recorded Music restructuring-related charges in connection with
the company's fiscal 2007 realignment initiatives.

                      Music Publishing

Music Publishing revenue in the quarter increased by 8.4% from
the prior-year quarter to US$155 million, and was flat on a
constant-currency basis.  Music Publishing revenue grew 4.9%
domestically over the prior-year quarter, and grew 11.0%
internationally, but declined 3.2% internationally on a
constant-currency basis. Digital revenue from Music Publishing
amounted to US$9 million, representing 5.8% of total Music
Publishing revenue for the quarter.

On a constant-currency basis, declines in mechanical revenue of
9.5% and in synchronization revenue of 4.5% were offset by a
50.0% increase in digital revenue and a 3.4% increase in
performance revenue.  Mechanical revenue weakness reflected the
industry-wide decline in physical record sales.  Synchronization
revenue was negatively impacted by the Writers Guild of America
strike.

Music Publishing operating income amounted to US$36 million,
down 5.3% from US$38 million in the prior-year quarter,
resulting in an operating margin of 23.2% down 3.3 percentage
points from the prior-year quarter.  Music Publishing OIBDA
increased 1.9% to US$54 million for the quarter, compared to
US$53 million in the prior-year quarter.  Music Publishing OIBDA
and OIBDA margin were flat year-over-year, excluding a US$1
million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

BANCOLOMBIA SA: Stock Plunges on Rates Increase Speculation
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bancolombia SA's stock has dropped the most in a month in Bogota
trading on speculation that the central bank will raise interest
rates, reducing demand for credit, James Attwood of Bloomberg
News.

Bloomberg says that the company had the biggest fall since May
8, as it decreased 2.6% to COP15,880.  Its parent company,
Suramericana de Inversiones SA was down to COP17,960 by 2.7%.

The monthly inflation rate, in a June 1 report, climbed to 0.93%
in May, more than twice the 0.4% median forecast in a Bloomberg
survey of economists, the report adds.

Marcela Giraldo, head of equities research at Bogota-based
brokerage Corredores Asociados, told Bloomberg that, "People are
selling financial shares because there may be further increases
in interest rates."

Bancolombia S.A. is Colombia's largest full-service financial
institution, formed by a merger of three leading Colombian
financial institutions.  Bancolombia's market capitalization is
over US$5.5 billion, with US$13.8 billion asset base and
US$1.4 billion in shareholders' equity as of Sept. 30, 2006.  
Bancolombia is the only Colombian company with an ADR level III
program in the New York S0tock Exchange.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on

positive from stable on its Ba3 long-term foreign currency
deposit ratings and Ba1 long-term foreign currency subordinated
bond rating for Bancolombia, S.A.


TRANSTEL INTERMEDIA: Fitch Downgrades ID Ratings to C From CCC
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded these ratings for Transtel
Intermedia SA:

  -- Foreign currency issuer default rating downgraded to 'C'
     from 'CCC';

  -- Local currency issuer default rating downgraded to 'C' from
    'CCC';

  -- US$170 million senior notes due 2016 downgraded to 'C/RR4'
     from 'CCC+/RR3'.

All ratings are placed of rating watch negative.

The rating action reflects the partial payment of the coupon of
the US$170 million notes due 2016 that was due in June 1, 2008
as well as the associated low liquidity and weaker than expected
operating results.  The rating watch will be resolved within 30
days depending on the company's ability to collect funds to pay
the rest of the interest payment of approximately US$5.5
million.  Transtel has 30 days for the payment of the interest
due before it is considered and event of default.  Fitch will
reevaluate the ratings after the cure period if the company
meets the interest payment within the 30 day grace period.

Headquartered in Cali, Colombia, Transtel Intermedia, S.A. is a
subsidiary of Transtel SA.  The company controls and operates
seven telephone systems and one cable system serving residential

NATIONAL WATER: Says Disaster Preparedness Machinery Is Ready
-------------------------------------------------------------
The National Water Commission of Jamaica told Radio Jamaica that
its disaster preparedness machinery is ready.

The Commission, however, added that its systems are still
vulnerable and may be affected by seasonal events.  

The Commission's Corporate Public Relations Manager Charles
Buchanan told Radio Jamaica that the agency's 460 water supply
systems have intakes vulnerable to flood damage and blockages.  
"Of the others, wells are often located in low lying plains and
are often susceptible to flooding ... most systems are heavily
dependent on the of national power grid for operations, more
than 900 kilometers of undulating pipelines all of which are
susceptible to landslides, pipeline dislocation and breakages.  
Water sources are also at risk of contamination from muddy
inflows after heavy rainfall," Mr. Buchanan added.

The Commission has taken several steps to lessen the risk of
damage to its systems and to let them return to normal
operations as fast as possible, Radio Jamaica says, citing Mr.
Buchanan.  "We have taken into consideration both the best
practices within the water industry world wide and the
cumulative experience of our employees and managers in managing
our particular systems under disaster conditions," Mr. Buchanan
added.

The National Water Commission is a statutory organization
charged with the responsibility of providing potable water and
wastewater services for the people of Jamaica.

                          *     *     *

The National Water Commission of Jamaica had been criticized for
failing to act promptly in cutting its losses.  For the fiscal
years 2002 and 2003, the water commission accumulated a net loss
of US$2.11 billion.  The deficit fell to US$1.86 billion the
following year, and to US$670 million in 2004 and 2005.

Jamaican citizens have been complaining to the commission about
water disruptions in their communities, resulting to
restrictions of water use.

ASARCO LLC: Grupo Mexico Challenges Sale of Assets to Vedanta
-------------------------------------------------------------
Grupo Mexico S.A.B. de C.V., the parent of ASARCO LLC and its
debtor-affiliates, said it will do "absolutely everything" in
its power to block the sale of ASARCO LLC's assets to Vedanta
Resources Plc's India-based subsidiary Sterlite Industries
(India) Ltd., Reuters quoted ASARCO's parent company as saying.

Sterlite Industries won as the stalking horse bidder for
ASARCO LLC's assets after offering US$2,600,000,000 for ASARCO's
assets.  Vedanta outbid three other interested buyers including
ASARCO's 100% equity holder, Grupo Mexico S.A.B. de C.V.

The acquisition will be financed through a mix of debt and
existing cash reserves, Sterlite said in a public statement.  
Assets included in the sale are three open-pit copper mines and
a copper smelter in Arizona, a copper refinery, rod and cake
plant, and precious metal plants in Texas.

Sterlite will assume ASARCO's operating liabilities but will not
assume legacy liabilities for asbestos and environmental claims
for ceased operations.  In March 2007, ASARCO estimated that its
asbestos liabilities range from US$242,100,000 to
US$446,900,000.  ASARCO also estimated that its environmental
liabilities total more than US$6,000,000,000 as of February
2007.

                      Grupo Mexico Undaunted

Grupo Mexico said it wanted to challenge the sale, saying that
"it was denied key information that would have allowed it to
properly value ASARCO," and that it is "willing to drag on the
legal battle."

"[I]t's unfair that Grupo Mexico must bid for a company it
already owns," Luc A. Despins, Esq., at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley &
McCloy LLP, on behalf of Grupo Mexico, told Bloomberg News.

To recall, Grupo Mexico submitted a plan of reorganization for
ASARCO on April 30, 2008, which contemplates full claims payment
to ASARCO's creditors.

In response, ASARCO's counsel, Jack Kinzie, Esq., at Baker Botts
L.L.P., said "Grupo Mexico's repayment promise wasn't backed
with cash so is worth less than the stalking horse bid,"
according to Bloomberg.  Mr. Despins retorted, asserting that
Grupo Mexico is willing to put a US$500,000,000 deposit toward
paying whatever claims Judge Richard Schmidt decides are
legitimate, Bloomberg said.

Days after the May 12 commencement of the auction process, Grupo
Mexico, through its subsidiary, Asarco Incorporated, wanted to
compel ASARCO LLC, Robert Pate as the Future Claims
Representative, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors of the Asbestos Subsidiary
Committee, and the creditor constituents, including the United
Steelworkers Union, to produce documents relative to the bid
procedures in connection with ASARCO LLC's Chapter 11 Plan
Sponsor selection process.

The requested documents include all documents concerning the
Successful Bidder, the bid and offers submitted by Grupo Mexico,
the award of a break-up fee to the Successful Bidder, the
consideration of all bids, the yield to ASARCO LLC's
stakeholders of the sale of substantially all of the company's
assets pursuant to the final bid of the Bidder, and the yield to
ASARCO LLC's stakeholders pursuant to the terms of Grupo
Mexico's Bid.

ASARCO LLC, the FCR, and the Asbestos Committee objected to
Asarco Inc.'s motion to compel, asserting that Asarco Inc.'s
document request combined with its public opposition to the
entire plan process reveals its purpose to disrupt the plan
sponsor selection process and chill the bidding to ensure that
Asarco Inc. is the winning plan sponsor.  "The production of
most of the documents sought from the DOJ, the FCR, and the
Asbestos Committee would negatively impact the value of the
Debtors' estate," ASARCO LLC said.

The deal is still subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of Texas.  The Court will
convene a hearing on June 12 and 13, 2008, to consider approval
of Vedanta's bid.  To top the stalking horse bid, an interested
bidder will have to offer at least US$75,000,000 more than the
stalking horse's purchase price, Bloomberg News said.

Debtwire.com previously said that a vigorous bidding process for
ASARCO could yield valuations as high as seven times the
company's US$584,000,000 EBITDA, garnering a price of about
US$4,100,000,000.

GRAFTECH INT'L: Improved Performance Cues Moody's to Up Ratings
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded GrafTech International Ltd.'s  
corporate family rating to Ba2 from B1 and upgraded the ratings
on its debt issues.

The company's upgrade follows improvement in its operating
performance and credit metrics, significant de-levering, and
reflects the anticipated robust business conditions for the
remainder of 2008.  The SGL-1 speculative grade liquidity rating
was affirmed and the ratings outlook was revised to stable from
positive.  The following summarizes the ratings activity.

Ratings upgraded for GrafTech International Ltd.:

   -- Corporate family rating -- Ba2 from B1

   -- Probability of default rating -- Ba2 from B1

   -- US$225 million 1.625% Gtd sr unsec conv debentures due
      2024 -- Ba3 (LGD5, 73%) from B2 (LGD4, 66%)

Ratings upgraded for GrafTech's special purpose financing
vehicle, GrafTech Finance, Inc.:

   -- US$215mm Gtd sr sec revolving credit facility due 2010 --
      Baa3 (LGD2, 21%) from Ba1 (LGD2, 11%)

   -- 10.25% Gtd sr unsec global notes due 2012 -- Ba3 (LGD5,
      73%) from B2 (LGD4, 66%)

Ratings affirmed for GrafTech International Ltd.:

   -- Speculative grade liquidity rating: SGL-1

The recent upgrade in GrafTech's corporate family rating
reflects the company's improved operating performance which has
resulted in the firm generating positive free cash flow over the
past eight quarters and making significant debt reduction such
that credit metrics are supportive of the higher rating.  Debt
reduction has been achieved with free cash flow as well as the
proceeds from the 2006 sale of the company's cathodes business
(approximately US$135 million in gross proceeds) and other asset
sales.  GrafTech's success in passing on higher raw material and
energy costs to its customers in 2007 and 2008 has allowed it to
generate free cash flow.

The company typically sets its graphite electrode prices
annually and negotiates needle coke prices with its suppliers on
an annual basis, and as a result Moody's expects the company to
continue to enjoy attractive operating margins for the balance
of 2008.  The ratings incorporate Moody's assumption that the
company will likely re-lever its balance sheet after the
redemption of its convertible debentures and potentially
redeeming the remaining US$75 million of the 10.25% senior notes
due 2012 with at least US$200 million of debt.  Additionally,
the company has stated that it is looking at internal as well as
external growth opportunities, which may include acquisitions.

GrafTech's stable rating outlook reflects the company's strong
free cash flow generation, excellent liquidity and conservative
financial philosophy that may lead to further debt reduction in
the next year.  This outlook is supported by robust conditions
in the steel industry, and strong demand for GrafTech's
electrodes which is expected to allow GrafTech to continue to
offset future raw material and energy cost increases with higher
prices for its electrodes.  The ratings could come under
downward pressure if the company made a large acquisition or
took other actions to re-lever its balance sheet such that its
debt to EBITDA ratio exceeded 3x.

Headquartered in Parma, Ohio, GrafTech International Ltd. -–
http://www.graftech.com/-- (NYSE:GTI) manufactures and provides   
high quality synthetic and natural graphite and carbon based

IRON MOUNTAIN: S&P Puts 'B+' Rating on US$300 Million Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has assigned an issue and
recovery rating to Iron Mountain Inc.'s US$300 million
subordinated notes due 2020.  The debt was assigned an issue-
level rating of 'B+', and a recovery rating of '5', indicating
our expectation of modest (10% to 30%) recovery in the event of
a payment default.
     
Proceeds of the new subordinated notes will be used to redeem
the company's 8.25% senior subordinated notes due 2011, repay
borrowing under the revolving credit facility and for general
corporate purposes.  The issue and recovery ratings on Iron
Mountain Inc.'s other secured and unsecured debt remains
unchanged.

XERIUM TECH: S&P Keeps Junk Rating on High Leverage
---------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its ratings on
Xerium Technologies Inc., including the 'CCC+' corporate credit
rating, and removed them from CreditWatch, where they were
originally placed with negative implications on March 19, 2008.

At the same time, S&P assigned a positive outlook. T he
Youngsville, N.C.–based manufacturer of consumable products
necessary for paper manufacturing had total debt of roughly
US$672 million as of March 31, 2008.

"The CreditWatch resolution reflects that Xerium has secured a
credit facility amendment that reduces the likelihood of a
financial covenant breach," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst James Siahaan.  In addition, the positive outlook
reflects the possibility that we could raise the ratings in
the near future, provided that the company maintains adequate
headroom under the financial covenants through cash generation
and debt repayment.  Headroom under the company's total leverage
ratio, interest coverage ratio, and fixed-charge coverage ratio
has increased, and dividend payments (which had been a heavy use
of Xerium's cash in recent years) have been prohibited for
the remaining life of the credit agreement.  In addition, the
company now has the ability to exempt certain exchange rate
fluctuations in calculating its total leverage ratio; the
inability to do so had contributed to high leverage figures
under the previous calculations, as exchange rates moved against
the U.S. dollar and Xerium's foreign debt balance outpaced its
earnings growth.

The ratings on Xerium reflect the company's highly leveraged
balance sheet, its limited liquidity, its modest size as a
supplier to niche markets, and its dependence on the papermaking
industry, all of which limit the company's organic growth
potential.  Partly mitigating these weaknesses are the
company's good operating margins, its geographic diversity, and
the strong competitive position of its niche product.

The recent amendment to Xerium's credit agreement has alleviated
short-term liquidity pressures.  S&P could raise the ratings if
the company is successful in generating cash, reducing costs,
paying down debt, and maintaining adequate headroom under its
credit agreement.  However, Standard & Poor's notes that while
the receipt of the amendment is positive, financial covenants
will tighten in the fourth quarter of 2008, which maypotentially
cause liquidity issues to reappear.  S&P would want to see more
clarity on this possibility before taking further rating
actions.

Headquartered in Youngsville, North Carolina, Xerium
Technologies Inc. (NYSE: XRM) -- http://xerium.com/--
manufactures and supplies two types of consumable products used
primarily in the production of paper: clothing and roll covers.
The company, which operates around the world under a variety of
brand names, utilizes a broad portfolio of patented and
proprietary technologies to provide customers with tailored
solutions and products integral to production, all designed to
optimize performance and reduce operational costs.  With 35
manufacturing facilities in 15 countries around the world,
Xerium has approximately 3,700 employees.  

In Europe the company has subsidiaries in Austria, Italy,
Germany, Sweden, Spain, the United Kingdom, Finland, France,
Switzerland and Ireland.  Xerium also has subsidiaries in Asia,
particularly in China, Hong Kong, Australia, Japan and Vietnam.  
Three subsidiaries are meanwhile located in Central and South
America, specifically Brazil, Mexico and Argentina.


XERIUM TECHNOLOGIES: Secures Fifth Amendment to Credit Facility
---------------------------------------------------------------
Xerium Technologies, Inc. disclosed in a regulatory filing that
on May 30, 2008, it secured a fifth amendment to its existing
senior credit facility.  Citigroup Global Markets Inc. acted as
the sole lead arranger, with more than 60 lenders participating.

The term loan portions of the amended and restated
US$660 million Credit Facility mature on May 19, 2012, and the
revolving credit portion matures on November 19, 2011.  The
amended facility requires the company to comply with revised
operating controls and financial covenants.  The revised
covenants place the company in compliance with the financial
requirements of the credit facility for the period ending and as
of March 31, 2008.

"We appreciate the active engagement and support of our many
lenders, who concur with the recently announced new strategic
direction of the company.  Through this amendment process, the
lenders recognized that Xerium's historical covenant compliance
issues were the consequence of applying the Company's very
strong cash flows to purposes other than debt repayment," said
Stephen Light, President and Chief Executive Officer.  
"Substantially reducing our debt through the term of the new
agreement is at the very heart of our strategic plan to improve
the company, enhance operational efficiencies, and maximize
value on behalf of our numerous stakeholders.  We believe this
new agreement provides us access to the funds we need to execute
our plan. I'm very pleased we've reached this agreement with our
lenders in a timely manner and thank them, CitiBank and the Alix
Partners for their perseverance throughout this complex
process."

Key provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility
include:

     -- Libor based grid rate pricing at an initial rate of
        Libor + 5.50% with three identified step downs
        contingent upon future improvements in credit ratings:
        Libor + 4.25%, Libor + 3.75%, and Libor + 2.75%

     -- Covenants governing the use of proceeds from asset and
        equity sales

     -- Prohibition against dividend payments for the term of
        the agreement

     -- Limits on capital expenditures, restructuring,
        acquisitions and certain other investments

     -- Freezing foreign exchange rates for the purpose of
        calculating debt for certain covenant purposes

     -- Increased debt pay down requirements

     -- Increased performance reporting requirements

                      Avoiding Bankruptcy

As a result of the amendment, it is likely that the company may
have avoided a possible bankruptcy, Chris Coletta of the
Triangle Business Journal reports.  Mr. Coletta adds under the
agreement, the company's expenditures is limited to US$50
million for 2008 and then US$35 million onwards until 2012.

                       Going Concern Doubt

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
April 23, 2008, Ernst & Young LLP raised substantial doubt on
the ability of Xerium Technologies to continue as a going
concern after it audited the company's financial statements for
the year ended Dec. 31, 2007.  

The auditing firm stated that the company will likely have
future debt covenant violations under its existing loan
agreements.  Failing to meet financial covenants constitutes an
event of default, upon which the company's lenders could
accelerate the debt causing it to become payable and due.

CABLE & WIRELESS: Needs to Raise Offer, Thus Investor Says
----------------------------------------------------------
Cable & Wireless PLc needs to offer more than 200p a share to
acquire Thus Plc, Dominic White writes for the Daily Telegraph,
citing Thus shareholder Investec Asset Management.

"We think that Thus is worth over GBP2 in independent form and
considerably more than this to another player," Peter Lowery, a  
fund manager at Investec, told the Daily Telegraph.

Investec, which holds a 5% stake in Thus stock, claims the
firm's value is more than 160p a share -- its price when C&W
announced it made a preliminary approach over a possible
takeover offer, the Telegraph relates.

Thus rejected C&W's approach but is reportedly open to
negotiations if the company submits a higher bid, the Telegrapg
reports.  Thus has tasked adviser Greenhill & Co., Inc. to
review its net value in case C&W submits a formal offer.

Meanwhile, sources privy to the situation told the Telegraph
that C&W views the potential acquisition as a strategic in-fill
rather an essential deal.  C&W has appointed Gleacher Shacklock
and Rothschild as advisers on the deal.

Headquartered in London, Cable & Wireless Plc
-- http://www.cw.com/new/-- operates through two standalone
business units -- International and Europe, Asia & US.  The
International business unit operates integrated
telecommunications companies in 33 countries, with principal
operations in the Caribbean, Panama, Macau, Monaco and the
Channel Islands.  The Europe, Asia & U.S. business unit provides
enterprise and carrier solutions to the largest users of
telecoms services across the U.K., U.S., continental Europe and
Asia -- and wholesale broadband services in the U.K.  The
company also has operations in India, China, the Cayman Islands
and the Middle East.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
May 27, 2008, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has revised its
outlook on Cable & Wireless PLC to developing from stable.  The
developing outlook means ratings can be raised, lowered, or
affirmed.  The 'BB-' long-term and 'B' short-term corporate
credit ratings remain unchanged.

NBTY INC: Leiner Health Agreement Won't Affect S&P's 'BB' Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that there would be no
immediate impact on Bohemia, New York-based NBTY Inc.'s
(BB/Stable/--) ratings or outlook following the company's
announcement that it entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
for the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Leiner

S&P estimate that at the currently proposed price, NBTY's
leverage will increase to closer to 2x (from levels of about
1.6x at March 31, 2008), and that credit measures will remain

Digicel was awarded a GSM license in BVI in December 2007 and
the company is set to launch its 24th market before the end of

Digicel looks forward to maximizing growth opportunities in BVI
and has earmarked US$15 million as its initial investment to
build a state-of-the-art network, offering close to 100%
population coverage.

"As CEO, Alan will leverage his vast experience to ensure
Digicel's entry into BVI delivers crystal clear coverage,
