As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 2, 2007,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B' corporate
credit rating on Activant Solutions Inc.  The outlook remains
stable.

Moody's Investors Service affirmed Activant Solutions Inc.'s B2
corporate family rating and the B1 rating of its senior secured
term loan facility upon its proposed $95 million upsizing.


AMAZON.COM: S&P Affirms "BB" Corporate Credit Rating
----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services changed its outlook on Seattle,
Wash.-based Amazon.com to positive from stable.

At the same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'BB' corporate
credit and 'B+' subordinated debt ratings on the company.  The
outlook change is based on the Amazon's continued strong
performance and improved credit profile.

The ratings on Amazon, one of the world's largest online
retailers, reflect the risks of rapid growth, participation in the
mature and highly competitive retail industry, and continued
operating margin deterioration.  The risks are somewhat tempered
by the company's solid market position in online retailing and
improving cash flow protection measures.

The positive outlook anticipates that Amazon will benefit from its
position as the leader in online retailing, management's everyday
low pricing strategy, and broad product offering.  "As competition
intensifies," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst David Kuntz,
"the company's financial condition should be able to weather
problems without significant deterioration in credit protection
measures."


AMERISTAR CASINOS: S&P Lowers Credit Facility Rating to BB+
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its issue-level rating
on Ameristar Casinos Inc.'s senior secured credit facility to
'BB+' (one notch higher than the 'BB' corporate credit rating on
the company) from 'BBB-'.  The recovery rating on this debt was
revised to '2', indicating the expectation for substantial (70%-
90%) recovery in the event of a payment default, from '1'.

The actions follow the company's announcement that it will
increase its existing revolving credit facility by $550 million to
$1.35 billion in order to finance its $675 million pending
acquisition of Resorts East Chicago.  The substantial increase in
senior secured debt weakens recovery prospects for secured
creditors.

The 'BB' corporate credit rating on Ameristar was affirmed, and
the rating outlook is negative.

The corporate credit rating reflects Ameristar's high pro forma
debt leverage and active growth strategy, and the high levels of
competition that many of its properties face.  These factors are
somewhat tempered by its relatively diversified portfolio of
gaming operations, good quality properties, and leading positions
in most of its markets.

ASAT HOLDINGS: Consent Solicitation Expiry Moved to Aug. 23
-----------------------------------------------------------
ASAT Holdings Limited's wholly owned subsidiary, New ASAT
(Finance) Limited, is soliciting consents from the holders of the
$150 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 9.25%
Senior Notes due 2011, to the amendment of certain provisions of
the indenture, dated as of Jan. 26, 2004, pursuant to which the
Senior Notes were issued.

ASAT is seeking consents for amendment or waiver of certain
defaults and events of default that may have occurred or may
occur.  The proposed amendments, if adopted, will among other
things:

   a) eliminate restrictions on the value of the assets that may
      be held by ASAT Semiconductor (Dongguan) Limited, ASAT
      Holdings' Chinese subsidiary;

   b) expand the ability of ASAT Holdings and its subsidiaries
      to secure financing from additional sources; and

   c) extend the deadline for ASAT Holdings to fulfill its
      reporting obligations under the indenture.
        
ASAT is amending the terms of the consent solicitation and
extending the expiration date.  The consent solicitation
will now expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Aug. 23,
2007, unless extended by the company.  

Only holders of record as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
July 25, 2007, are eligible to deliver consents to the proposed
amendments in the consent solicitation.
    
In addition, the company disclosed that ASAT Holdings will pay a
consent fee in the form of warrants, which are exercisable into
ordinary shares of ASAT Holdings, to consenting holders.  The
consent fee is subject to the proposed amendments becoming
operative and other conditions specified in the Amended Consent
Solicitation Statement, including consenting holders' eligibility
under U.S. securities laws to receive warrants.

If every holder of Senior Notes consents to the proposed
amendments and is eligible to receive warrants, then the warrants
would, in the aggregate, be exercisable for a total of 5% of ASAT
Holding's total outstanding ordinary shares on a fully diluted
basis, inclusive of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of
warrants to the holders themselves and which ASAT Holdings expects
to grant to the lenders under its purchase money loan agreement,
dated as of July 31, 2005, in exchange for their consent to
certain amendments to the terms of that agreement which are
being discussed by the parties.

The warrants will have an exercise price of $0.01 per ordinary
share, subject to adjustment as provided in the warrants and the
other terms and conditions contained therein.  The warrants will
expire on Feb. 1, 2011.
    
Holders of the Senior Notes are referred to the company's Amended
Consent Solicitation Statement and materials, which will be mailed
to each record holder, for the detailed terms and conditions of
the consent solicitation, as amended.
    
ASAT Holdings has hired Piper Jaffray & Co. to serve as
Solicitation Agent for the consent solicitation.  Questions
concerning the terms of the consent solicitation should be
directed to Michael Hsieh of Piper Jaffray & Co. at (212) 284-

BEAZER HOMES: S&P Puts Corporate Credit Rating at BB-
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'BB-' corporate
credit and senior unsecured debt ratings on Beazer Homes USA Inc.
on CreditWatch with negative implications.

The CreditWatch placements affect roughly $1.5 billion in rated
debt  securities and follow the company's recent announcement that
its third-quarter  10-Q filing (due Aug. 14, 2007) will be
delayed.

The company stated that its filing delay is due to the discovery,
by independent counsel and accountants retained by Beazer's audit
committee, of possible inappropriate accounting for overaccruing
certain reserves and  accrued liabilities related primarily to
land development and home construction costs.  Excess accruals for
reserves and other accrued liabilities, if reversed in subsequent
accounting periods, could have been used to offset the company's
operating expenses by amounts that would not be appropriate under
U.S. GAAP.  

The CreditWatch placements also consider the additional pressure
and distractions Beazer's management faces on a number of
nonoperational fronts, including separate pending investigations
by the SEC and the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western District
of North Carolina, during a very challenging period for all
homebuilders.

It is unknown at this time whether a restatement of prior-period
financial statements will be necessary.  Beazer has stated that it
currently does not believe the amounts at issue with respect to
these reserves and accrued liabilities are quantitatively
material.  However, the ultimate resolution of these matters,
their timing, and their magnitude are currently not known, as the
investigation and management's qualitative assessment of these
findings is ongoing.  It is also possible that additional
accounting issues may be unearthed in the process.  Given the
pending investigation and the uncertainty currently surrounding
Beazer's historical financials, Standard & Poor's has concerns
regarding the integrity of prior-period financials.  

The company's senior notes and bank facility contain covenants
regarding the filing of quarterly and annual financial statements.  
The indentures governing the company's bonds provide for a 60-day
grace cure period should bondholders file a notice of default.  
The company's recently renegotiated credit facility does not
contain a similar covenant but does require that timely financial
statements be provided.

Standard & Poor's said it will closely monitor developments
related to this internal accounting investigation as well as the
various external investigations that the company is facing.  
Standard & Poor's will lower the ratings if the filing delay
becomes protracted, other accounting or financial reporting issues
not currently disclosed arise, the issues causing the delay are
more significant than expected, or the company's currently
adequate liquidity position weakens.

BEST BRANDS: Weak Performance Cues S&P to Junk Corp. Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Minnetonka, Minn.-based Best Brands Corp. to 'CCC' from
'CCC+'.

"The downgrade reflects our concerns about weak performance and
extremely limited covenant cushion, despite the company's current
access to its revolving credit facility," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Alison Sullivan.  "We expect the company to have
single-digit cushion on the leverage covenant in 2007, if it meets
its financial plans.  If performance continues to deteriorate, it
could be difficult for the company to maintain adequate
liquidity."

At the same time, Standard & Poor's lowered its rating on Best
Brands' $200 million first-lien facility to 'CCC' from 'CCC+', and
revised the recovery rating to '3' from '2', indicating
expectations of meaningful (50%-70%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.  Standard & Poor's also lowered the ratings on
the company's $75 million ($71 million outstanding) second-lien
facility to 'CC' from 'CCC-', two notches below the corporate
credit rating, and revised the recovery rating to '6', indicating
expectations of negligible (0%-10%) recovery in the event of a
payment default, from '5'.

All ratings were removed from CreditWatch, where they were placed
with negative implications on April 20, 2007, reflecting concerns
about the company's operating performance and near term liquidity.
The outlook is negative.  Total debt outstanding at Best Brands at
June 30, 2007, was about $245 million.


CBA COMMERCIAL: Fitch Affirms "BB" Class M-5 Certificates Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings upgraded CBA Commercial, series 2004-1, commercial
mortgage pass-through certificates as:

-- $3.6 million class M-2 to 'AA+' from 'AA'.

In addition, Fitch affirmed these certificates:

-- $28.5 million class A-1 at 'AAA';
-- $12.4 million class A-2 at 'AAA';
-- $6.7 million class A-3 at 'AAA';
-- Interest-only class at 'AAA';
-- $2.9 million class M-1 at 'AAA';
-- $3.7 million class M-3 at 'BBB+';
-- $770,000 class M-5 at 'BB'.

Classes M-4, M-6, M-7 and M-8 are not rated by Fitch.

The upgrade is a result of increased credit enhancement due to
additional paydown (13.8%) since Fitch's last rating action in
January 2007. As of the July 2007 distribution date, the pool's
aggregate collateral balance has been reduced 35.7% to $65.6
million from $102 million at issuance.

Currently nine loans (4.4%) are in special servicing.  Losses are
expected on six of the nine specially serviced loans.

The largest specially serviced loan (0.9%) is secured by a
multifamily property located in Lexington, KY and is currently 60
days delinquent.  The special servicer has been working to
increase occupancy at the property before marketing the property
for sale.  The property was 53% occupied as of June 2007.

Expected losses on the specially serviced loans will deplete the
non-rated class M-8 and also reduce the balance of the non-rated
class M-7.


CENTRAL GARDEN: S&P Rates Senior Unsecured Notes at B
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its preliminary
'B/B/B-' senior unsecured/subordinated debt/preferred stock
ratings to Central Garden & Pet Co.'s Rule 415 universal shelf
registration.  The preliminary ratings are placed on CreditWatch
with negative implications.

Central Garden's ratings, including its 'BB-' corporate credit
rating, remain on CreditWatch with negative implications, where
they were placed June 7, 2007, following the company's
announcement that it expected results for the third quarter and
fiscal year ending September 2007 to be below expected levels.

"Unfavorable weather and a challenging retailer environment have
impacted the company's lawn & garden and pet businesses in the
April and May periods of its key third quarter," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Jean C. Stout.

Earlier in fiscal 2007, the company had revised its outlook for
the first quarter because of a shift in seasonal purchases by lawn
& garden retailers, lower sales, and mix shift within pet bird and
small animal products, and higher-than-expected grain costs.  In
March 2007, Central Garden received an amendment under its bank
facility to provide near-term covenant relief as it worked through
this challenging operating environment.  Moreover, continuing
challenges may pressure the company's revised bank covenants and
may require a further bank amendment.

Standard & Poor's will meet with management after third-quarter
results are announced in August to discuss the company's operating
trends and liquidity in order to resolve the CreditWatch listing.
"It is unlikely the ratings would be lowered more than one notch
as a result of this review," said Ms. Stout.


CLYDESDALE CLO: S&P Rates $11 Million Class D Notes at "BB"
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its preliminary
ratings to Clydesdale CLO 2007 Ltd./Clydesdale CLO 2007 Inc.'s
$324 million floating-rate notes due 2019.

The preliminary ratings are based on information as of
Aug. 14, 2007.  Subsequent information may result in the
assignment of final ratings that differ from the preliminary
ratings.

The preliminary ratings reflect:

-- The credit enhancement provided to each class of notes  
    through the subordination of cash flows to the more junior
    classes and subordinate notes;

-- The transaction's cash flow structure, which was subjected to
    various stresses requested by Standard & Poor's;

-- The investment manager's experience; and

-- The transaction's legal structure, including the issuer's
    bankruptcy remoteness.

COGECO CABLE: S&P Affirms "BB" Corporate Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on
Montreal, Que.-based cable TV operator Cogeco Cable Inc. to
positive from stable.  At the same time, we affirmed the ratings,
including the 'BB' long-term corporate credit rating, on the
company.  At May 31, 2007, Cogeco Cable had about
CDN$1.18 billion of debt outstanding.

"The outlook revision reflects the substantial improvement in
credit protection measures, continued strength at the company's
Canadian operations, and the improved prospect of generating
meaningful free cash flow," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Madhav Hari.  Specifically, adjusted debt leverage has improved to
an intermediate level from a relatively aggressive level, driven
largely by debt reduction from issuing equity in the past six
months.

"Furthermore, we expect adjusted debt leverage and corresponding
credit measures to improve further (albeit modestly) in the medium
term, given our expectations of low-double-digit EBITDA growth and
modest debt reduction from growing free cash flow," Mr. Hari
added.  The pace of any upward ratings revision on Cogeco Cable,
however, will remain constrained by the company's
aggressive financial policy, particularly given management's
stated desire to seek additional acquisitions in the near term.

The ratings on Cogeco Cable are based on the consolidated risk
profile of its Canadian and Portuguese subsidiaries.  Cogeco
Cable's parent, Cogeco Inc., has a neutral effect on the ratings,
given the small amount of debt at the parent level, and because
Cogeco Cable accounts for the majority of Cogeco Inc.'s revenues
and EBITDA.

The outlook is positive.  The strength of the company's Canadian
operations should drive meaningful free cash flow generation
leading to modest debt reduction and improving credit metrics,
which could potentially support a higher rating.  The potential
for, and magnitude of, any debt-financed acquisitions will remain
a key factor for any upgrade in the near term.  The ratings and
outlook assume that no material amount of debt will be added at
the parent level and that Cogeco Cable and its media assets will
remain credit neutral.

Standard & Poor's could revise the outlook to stable if the
Canadian operations do not perform as expected owing to increased
competition or if Cabovisao's profitability and free cash flow
profile materially weaken.  In addition, large debt-financed
acquisitions with limited ability to reduce debt post-acquisition
could lead to a downgrade.  


CONTINENTAL GLOBAL: S&P Affirms "B" Issuer Default Rating
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its recovery rating on
Continental Global Group Inc.'s senior secured first-lien term
loan to '3', indicating an expectation for meaningful recovery
(50%-70%) in the event of payment default, from '4'.  At the same
time, Standard & Poor's assigned its 'B' issuer and '3' recovery
ratings to the $40 million revolving credit facility.  In
addition, Standard & Poor's affirmed the 'B' issuer rating on the
senior secured term loan.

The rating actions follow material changes that were made to the
facility that include a reduction of the term loan to $100 million
from $120 million while the maturity has been shortened to 2012;
the replacement of an unrated asset-based facility with a
$40 million revolving credit facility; and lenders to both
facilities having the same collateral package that includes a
first lien on all assets and 100% stock of subsidiaries, limited
to 65% for foreign subsidiaries.

The ratings on Continental reflect the highly cyclical and
competitive nature of the mining equipment industry, the company's
significant exposure to raw-material prices, and its historical
cash-flow volatility.  These factors are partially offset by the
company's leading positions in niche markets and the currently
favorable fundamentals of the industry.

COOPER TIRE: S&P Affirms "B+" Corporate Credit Rating
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on Cooper
Tire & Rubber Co. to stable from negative.  At the same time, S&P
affirmed the company's 'B+' corporate credit rating and other
ratings.

"The outlook revision reflects Cooper's improved operational and
financial performance over the last few quarters.  As a result,
credit measures have returned to levels consistent with the
current rating," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Lawrence
Orlowski.  Revenue, EBITDA, operating income, and free cash flow
have risen substantially over last year, and we expect that
debt will be reduced in the coming quarters.  Despite industry
growth below historical averages and volatile raw material prices,
the company has been bolstering its profitability, reducing costs,
and expanding its presence in Asia; we believe that this progress
is sustainable.

Cooper is recovering from several years of poor financial
performance.  An unexpected decline in consumer demand for
replacement tires, reduced tire production, and high raw material
costs squeezed EBITDA and led to negative free cash flow.  In
recent quarters, the company has strengthened its business
on several fronts.

In December 2006, Cooper announced that it had appointed a new
CEO.  The company now has a narrower product breadth and is
working towards more flexible manufacturing.  It has developed
high performance products to enrich its product mix.  In June
2007, Cooper increased prices by up to 5% and has outpaced the
rise in raw material costs since the fourth quarter of 2006.
Cooper has implemented $140 million in cost-reduction initiatives
as of June 2007, and $43 million has been realized in savings or
profit improvements in the first half of 2007.  Inventory levels,
mostly finished goods, had been cut by more than $100 million,
compared to the second-quarter 2006 levels.

In the second quarter, the company gained share in the North
American market.  Unit shipments of light-vehicle replacement
tires were up 13% year over year, compared to the 3% growth for
the industry.  Cooper's North American tire sales rose 19.5% yoy.
International tire sales increased 26% yoy.  Operating income in
the second quarter was 5.4% of sales, compared to an operating
loss in the year-ago quarter.


COOPER TIRE: Moody's Affirms "B2" Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Cooper Tire & Rubber Company's
Corporate Family Rating as well as its unsecured note ratings of
B2, but revised the rating outlook to positive from stable.

At the same time, the rating agency renewed the company's
Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating of SGL-2.  

The actions follow favorable developments in restoring the
company's financial performance, a modest improvement in North
American replacement tire demand, and prospects that these trends
could continue.  In addition, Cooper Tire announced an agreement
to divest a non-core business and plans to monetize its investment
in Kumho Tire in early 2008.  

Proceeds from the latter actions combined with existing cash and
temporary investments should facilitate the company's board
authorization to retire up to $200 million of its senior unsecured
notes, but the timing of such actions is uncertain.  The positive
outlook recognizes the potential for stronger ratings to develop
from a combination of sustained operating performance, reduced
leverage and healthier coverage ratios.

Cooper Tire's second quarter results represented the third
consecutive quarter of higher revenues, stronger operating profits
and enhanced liquidity from reduced working capital requirements.
A resumption of replacement tire demand in North America, gains in
market share, realization of pricing actions to recover previous
increases in commodity costs, execution of management's
restructuring programs and an improved product mix were all
contributing factors.

While the company's investments in joint ventures in China also
exhibited favorable trends, Moody's assesses Cooper Tire on its
ability to service its obligations from its accessible cash flows,
which is currently limited to the company's wholly-owned
operations, as well as its corporate assets.  Notably, the latter
includes consolidated cash and temporary investments which grew to
some $331 million at the end of June, the bulk of which are
controlled by the parent.

Viewed on that basis, Moody's would measure the company's
debt/trailing EBITDA to be in the mid 3 times range and its
EBIT/interest coverage close to 2 times, significantly better than
its metrics in mid-2006.  While Cooper has achieved efficiencies
in its manufacturing operations, margins remain sensitive to
volumes, commodity and energy costs and the ability to offset any
unfavorable cost increases through pricing actions.  In Moody's
view, concerns driven by aggregate economic developments, pressure
on consumer disposable income, and more recent raw material costs
constrain the extent of uplift in ratings at this time.

The positive outlook considers the announcements related to asset
sales which would supplement existing liquidity and enable
additional de-leveraging.  Cooper agreed to sell its Oliver Rubber
Company subsidiary for $69 million, subject to regulatory
approval.  In addition, it has the right to put its shareholding
in Kumho to the South Korean company in February of 2008 for a
minimum of its initial acquisition cost of roughly $108 million.  
A combination of sustained operating performance, completion of
the expected asset monetization, and implementation of the
company's announced intention to repurchase up to $200 million of
its unsecured notes could lead to stronger ratings.

Cooper Tire's Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-2
represents good liquidity over the next twelve months.  The rating
flows from a strong cash and short-term investments position,
expectations of break-even to positive free cash flow generation
over the coming twelve months in North America, as well as access
to its securitization facility.  Headroom under financial
covenants in its revolving credit facility, which expires in
August 2008, is expected to continue to widen, yet the company
will need to consider alternatives to replace this facility when
it expires.  Cooper also has an ability to develop incremental
alternate liquidity given the unsecured nature of its liabilities
and available lien baskets.

Ratings affirmed:

Cooper Tire & Rubber Company

-- Corporate Family Rating, B2
-- Probability of Default, B2
-- Senior Unsecured Notes B2, LGD-4, 56%
-- Shelf filing for unsecured notes, (P)B2 ,LGD-4, 56%
-- Shelf filing for preferred stock, (P)Caa1, LGD-6, 97%
-- Speculative Grade Liquidity, SGL-2

The last rating action was on May 3, 2007 at which time the
outlook was changed to stable from negative.  Cooper Tire's
revolving credit facility is not rated.

The B2 (LGD-4, 56%) rating on the senior unsecured notes is level
with the Corporate Family Rating and is the result of an overall
probability of default of the company, to which Moody's assigns a
PDR of B2, and a loss given default of LGD-4.  The rating also
reflects their significance in the company's debt structure and
their pari passu standing with the current revolving credit
facility.  Neither the notes nor the bank credit facility benefit
from up-streamed subsidiary guarantees, and both obligations are
on an unsecured basis.  Cooper Tire disclosed discussions with its
bank group to arrange a replacement revolving credit facility,
which could be for $200 million and be on a secured basis. Should
such a facility be structured, the notching of the unsecured notes
could be adversely affected.

Cooper Tire & Rubber Company, headquartered in Findlay, OH, is the
fourth largest tire manufacturer in North America and is focused
on replacement markets for passenger cars and light & medium duty
trucks.  Revenues in 2006 were about $2.7 billion.  The company
operates 10 manufacturing facilities and had 13,361 employees at
the end of 2006.

DAYTON SUPERIOR: Moody's Withdraws B2 Rating on $195MM Term Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service withdrew the B2 rating on Dayton
Superior Corporation's proposed $195 million term loan B as well
as withdrawn the B3 rating on the company's proposed $85 million
second lien loan.

The proposed term loan B and second lien loan, together with a
$130 million asset based revolver (not rated by Moody's), were to
refinance the company's existing indebtedness, including the
company's 10.75% and 13% notes.  The withdrawal of the ratings on
these proposed facilities follows the company's decision to
postpone its refinancing due to current market conditions.  

Moody's also affirmed the company's B2 corporate family rating, B2
probability of default rating, and upgraded the rating on Dayton's
10.75% notes to B1 from B2, as well as upgraded the rating on the
company's 13% notes to Caa1 from Caa2.  The ratings outlook
remains stable.  The ratings upgrades are consistent with Moody's
Loss Given Default rating methodology.

These ratings/assessments for Dayton have been withdrawn:

-- $195 million gtd. sr. secured term loan B, rated B2 (LGD4,
    58%);

-- $85 million gtd. sr. secured 2nd lien loan, rated B3 (LGD5,
    73%).

These ratings for Dayton have been affirmed:

-- Corporate family rating, affirmed at B2;
-- Probability of default rating, affirmed at B2.

These ratings/assessments have been upgraded:

-- $165 million 10.75% senior secured second priority notes due
    2008, upgraded to B1 (LGD3, 42%) from B2 (LGD3, 42%);

-- $155 million 13% senior subordinated notes due 2009, upgraded
    to Caa1 (LGD5, 84%) from Caa2 (LGD5, 84%).

Dayton Superior's ratings and outlook reflect the company's
improved financial performance as well as the expectation for
continued improvement.  Dayton is expected to continue benefiting
from strong spending in the commercial and infrastructure end
markets.

The ratings and/or outlook may improve if the company continues to
deliver.  The ratings would particularly benefit if the company
were able to generate strong consistent annual positive free cash
to total debt over 8% and if Dayton were able to reduce leverage
to under 3.5 times.

The rating and/or outlook could decline if the company's margins
contract, if raw materials price increases were unable to be
passed on to customers in a timely basis, and if the commercial
construction business were to slow meaningfully.  As 95% of
Dayton's total revenue is generated from non-residential and
infrastructure construction, a rebound in residential construction
would have minimal influence in the company's performance.  The
ratings would also be negatively impacted if debt to EBITDA were
to increase to over 6 times on a projected basis.

Headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, Dayton Superior Corporation is the
largest North American manufacturer and distributor of metal
accessories and forms used in concrete construction, as well as
metal accessories used in masonry construction.  Dayton provides
these specialized products to the non-residential construction
market for use in infrastructure, institutional, and commercial
projects.  Total revenues for 2006 were $479 million.


DETROIT CITY: S&P Lowers Tax-Increment Bond Rating to "BB"
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating on Detroit
City Local Development Finance Authority, Mich.'s series 1997A
senior-lien tax-increment bonds to 'BB' from 'BBB', reflecting the
change in the parent company guarantor rating following the
transfer of a majority interest in the Chrysler Group to a private
equity company.  The outlook is stable.  The Standard & Poor's
corporate credit rating on Chrysler LLC is 'B' with a negative
outlook.

The 'BB' rating is based on the strengths of the tax increment
financing area supporting payments and reflects the concentration
of the property tax base in one taxpayer, with Chrysler Corp.'s
Jefferson Avenue assembly plant representing more than 95% of the
taxable value of the project area; the senior-lien pledge of tax-
increment revenues securing the bonds; the importance of the
facility to the company, with the plant being Chrysler's
only North American assembly plant building the Jeep Grand
Cherokee sport utility vehicle; and adequate debt service coverage
in fiscal 2005 totaling 1.26x for all debt.

"We believe that given the dependence on a single taxpayer,
despite the importance to the company of the plant and its ongoing
investment in the facility, projected low coverage of just 1.2x
and the long term of the bonds lend speculative characteristics to
this credit," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jane Hudson
Ridley.

There is a corporate guarantee of Chrysler LLC to pay principal
and interest on the series 1997A bonds if pledged revenues are
insufficient.  The company may substitute another credit facility
for its guarantee, but the substitute credit support must be rated
at least 'A' by Standard & Poor's.  Chrysler LLC's guarantee will
automatically be reinstated if the substitute credit support
should terminate for any reason.

Debt service coverage on outstanding senior bonds is projected at
2x, while coverage of junior and senior bonds is projected at
around 1.2x.  Debt maturities reflect expected depreciation of
personal property in the plant, which represents more than 90% of
taxable value.

The project area totals 380 acres, encompassing Chrysler's
Jefferson Avenue North assembly plant, a 1.7-million-square-foot
facility in southeastern Detroit.  The city contributed more than
$118 million for various road and site improvements around the
plant, which opened in 1992.  The plant is the company's only
North American facility producing the Jeep Grand Cherokee.


DIVERSIFIED ASSET: Fitch Junks Rating on $30 Mil. Class A-3L Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch downgrades one and affirms three classes of notes issued by
Diversified Asset Securitization Holdings III, L.P (DASH III).
These rating actions are the result of Fitch's review process and
are effective immediately:

-- $96,772,652 class A-1L notes affirmed at 'AA';

-- $31,507,375 class A-2 notes affirmed at 'AA';

-- $30,000,000 class A-3L notes downgraded to 'CCC/DR3' from  
    'B/DR1'; and removed from Rating Watch Negative;

-- $22,217,521 class B-1L notes remain at 'C/DR6'.

Diversified Asset Securitization Holdings III, L.P is a cash
collateralized debt obligation that was originated and managed by
Asset Allocation & Management, LLC in June 2001.  TCW Asset
Management Co. became the substitute asset manager for AAMCO in
October 2002.  The portfolio is composed of residential mortgage
backed securities, asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-
backed securities, and real estate investment trusts.  Included in
this review, Fitch conducted cash flow modeling for various
default timing, interest rate scenarios, and prepayment
assumptions to measure the breakeven default rates going forward
relative to the minimum cumulative default rates required for the
rated liabilities.

Fitch's rating actions reflect considerable credit quality
deterioration within the portfolio.  Since the last rating action
on April 20, 2007, the recovery estimates on the distressed
portion of the portfolio have decreased.  According to Fitch's
analysis, the rated liabilities are approximately $21 million
undercollateralized.  

As of the most recent trustee report dated July 28, 2007, the
class A overcollateralization ratio is 99.84% versus 99.4% as of
March 28, 2007 and below its trigger level of 105%.  The class B
OC ratio has decreased to 85.87 from 87.3% in the same period of
time.  It remains below its covenant of 101.5%.

The interest coverage test is currently at 120.53% which is below
the trigger of 122%.  A substantial portion of the collateral
represents fixed coupon assets and, with a scheduled decline in
the interest rate swap notional over the life of the deal, the
deal has been exposed to the risk of a rising 3-month LIBOR.  The
transaction is in the amortization period and while the senior
notes are de-leveraging, the class B-1L notes continue to be cut
off from interest.

The ratings of the classes A-1L, A-2, and A-3L notes address the
likelihood that investors will receive full and timely payments of
interest, as per the governing documents, as well as the stated
balance of principal by the legal final maturity date. The rating
of the class B-1L notes addresses the likelihood that investors
will receive ultimate and compensating interest payments, as per
the governing documents, as well as the stated balance of
principal by the legal final maturity date.


DRUMMOND CO: S&P Holds "BB-" Corporate Credit Rating
----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed the 'BB-' corporate
credit rating on Birmingham, Ala.-based coal mining company
Drummond Co. Inc.  The outlook is stable.

"The ratings on Drummond reflect the company's limited operating
diversity; its substantial exposure to the risks of operating in
Colombia, where it derives most of its cash flow; aggressive
growth spending plans; its relatively small but growing production
base; and weak financial measures," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Marie Shmaruk.  Still, the company maintains a relatively
low-cost position compared with eastern U.S. coal companies,
possesses a strategic location as a seaborne coal exporter, has a
large reserve base (which consists of mostly high-quality, low-
sulfur coal), and maintains adequate liquidity.  The outlook is
stable.  

Standard & Poor's expect the company to improve its credit metrics
for the rating in the intermediate term as a result of a
relatively favorable pricing environment and rising production
levels.  While Standard & Poor's capped the ratings because of the
company's lack of operating diversity, longer-term upside is
possible if Drummond successfully expands and diversifies its
operating base without a meaningful increase in its financial
leverage.  Standard & Poor's could revise the outlook to negative
if the company fails to improve its financial leverage from
currently high levels because of lower-than-expected production
(resulting from operational disruptions or less-favorable mining
conditions), or if the company pursues additional debt-financed
growth initiatives.


DUNLOE 2005-1: Fitch Junks Rating on $20 Mil. Class C Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch downgraded all classes of notes issued by Dunloe 2005-1,
Ltd.  These downgrades are the result of Fitch's review process
and are effective immediately:

-- $35,000,000 class A notes downgraded to 'A' from 'AAA', and
    placed on Rating Watch Negative;

-- $45,000,000 class B notes downgraded to 'BB+' from 'AA-', and
    placed on Rating Watch Negative;

-- $20,000,000 class C notes downgraded to 'CCC' from 'A-', and  
    remain on Rating Watch Negative.

On July 12, 2007, the class C notes were placed on rating watch
negative due to the negative migration of subprime RMBS assets.

Dunloe 2005-1 is a partially funded, static synthetic
collateralized debt obligation which closed March 23, 2005.  The
portfolio is comprised of residential mortgage backed securities,
commercial mortgage backed securities, CDO, and consumer asset-
backed securities.

Since the last review on June 26, 2007, 18% of the $850.9 million
reference assets in the portfolio have been downgraded and about
14.1% are on Rating Watch Negative.  There are currently two
securities in the portfolio that have experienced writedown credit
events with losses totaling $5.8 million to date, which reduces
the amount of subordination provided by the first loss piece.

In addition, in Fitch's opinion, 30.3% of the reference assets in
the portfolio are below investment grade quality, with about 9.9%
rated 'CCC' or lower quality.  The class A and B notes are placed
on RWN and the class C notes remain on RWN because it is likely
that these 'CCC' or lower quality assets will face principal
writedowns in the future, further reducing the subordination.  If
severe enough, the writedowns could potentially exceed the
subordination amount resulting in losses to the rated notes.

Fitch believes that the collateral deterioration in the portfolio
has increased the risk profile of the class A, B and C notes.

The ratings of all three classes of notes address the likelihood
that investors will receive full and timely payments of interest,
as per the governing documents, as well as the aggregate principal
amount by the stated maturity date.

E*TRADE ABS: Fitch Junks Ratings on Three Note Classes
------------------------------------------------------
Fitch downgraded three and affirmed one class of notes issued by
E*Trade ABS CDO I, Ltd/LLC, (E*Trade I).  

These rating actions are effective immediately:

-- $19,600,000 class A-2 notes affirmed at 'AAA';

-- $25,000,000 class B notes downgraded to 'B' from 'BBB' and
    assigned a distressed recovery (DR) rating of 'DR1'; removed
    from Rating Watch Negative;

-- $9,508,236 class C-1 notes downgraded to 'C/DR6' from
    'CC/DR3'; removed from Rating Watch Negative;

-- $3,443,083 class C-2 notes downgraded to 'C/DR6' from
    'CC/DR3'; removed from Rating Watch Negative;

-- $4,971,863 composite securities remain at 'C/DR6'.

The class B, class C-1 and class C-2 notes (together, class C
notes) were placed on Rating Watch Negative on July 12, 2007 due
to the negative credit migration of subprime RMBS assets.

E*Trade I is a static cash flow collateralized debt obligation
which closed Sept. 26, 2002 and is managed by E*TRADE Global Asset
Management, Inc., rated 'CAM2' by Fitch for managing structured
finance CDOs.  

E*TRADE I's collateral is composed of a diversified portfolio of
asset-backed securities, residential mortgage-backed securities,
commercial mortgage-backed securities, and CDOs.  Fitch reviewed
the credit quality of the individual assets comprising the
portfolio and conducted cash flow modeling of various default
timing and interest rate stress scenarios to measure the breakeven
default rates going forward relative to the minimum cumulative
default rates required for the rated liabilities.

The downgrades to the class B and class C are due to collateral
deterioration since Fitch's last review in March 2006, and
decreased credit enhancement.  Between the Jan. 31, 2006 and June
29, 2007 trustee reports, negative credit migration has increased
the weighted average rating factor to 32 ('B/B-') from 26
('B+/B').  The par value of defaulted assets is approximately $5
million, or 9% of the portfolio, compared to zero at last review.  
The class A/B overcollateralization ratio has decreased to 103.5%
from 109.1%, and is now failing its minimum threshold of 105.5%.  
The class C OC ratio has decreased further to 81.3% from 95.2% and
continues to fail its minimum threshold of 102%.  Fitch believes
that these factors have increased the risk profile of the class B
and class C notes.

The class B notes are assigned a 'DR1' rating because it is
possible they will not receive full repayment of principal by
maturity. Recovery expectations for the class C notes have
decreased to the 'DR6' range because any future cash flow is
contingent upon either the class A/B OC test passing again or the
class B notes paying in full.

The composite securities were originally composed of 30% class C-1
notes and 70% preference shares. The preference shares' rating was
withdrawn on April 26, 2006 because there is no recovery expected.
The composite securities will only receive payments going forward
if the class C-1 notes receive any distributions.

The class A-2 notes are the most senior class in the capital
structure since the class A-1 notes paid in full in July 2006. The
notes have been deleveraging due to normal amortization and
coverage test failure resulting in higher credit enhancement
levels, which offsets the increased risk in the portfolio.

The ratings of the class A-2 and class B notes address the
likelihood that investors will receive full and timely payments of
interest, as per the governing documents, as well as the stated
balance of principal by the legal final maturity date.  The rating
of the class C notes addresses the likelihood that investors will
receive ultimate and compensating interest payments, as per the
governing documents, as well as the stated balance of principal by
the legal final maturity date.  The rating on the composite
securities addresses the ultimate payment of the initial composite
securities rated balance and the ultimate receipt of payments that
result in a yield on the composite securities rated balance
equivalent to 4.66% per annum.

GEOKINETICS INC: Names Richard F. Miles as President and CEO
------------------------------------------------------------
Geokinetics Inc. has promoted Richard F. Miles, vice president and
chief operating officer, to the positions of president and chief
executive officer.  Mr. Miles replaces David A. Johnson, who
resigned to pursue opportunities outside the seismic services
industry.

"We wish Dave Johnson continued success in his next endeavors,"
William R. Ziegler, chairman of the company, stated.  "Dave was
instrumental in completing two acquisitions which transformed
Geokinetics from a small, domestic seismic services business, to
the fourth-largest provider of land, transition zone and shallow
water seismic surveying in the world.  We are grateful for Dave's
accomplishments and wish him the best."

"We are particularly fortunate to have someone of the caliber of
Dick Miles to promote to the positions of president and chief
executive officer, Mr. Ziegler continued.  "Dick has been in
charge of all international operations at Geokinetics since our
acquisition of Grant Geophysical, Inc. in September 2006, and most
recently he was the president and chief executive officer of Grant
Geophysical since January 2001."

September 2006," Mr. Ziegler added.  "Dick served as chief
executive officer and a director of GeoScience Corporation, the
chairman of CogniSeis, Syntron and Symtronix from 1990 until 2000.
Prior to that he held numerous positions with Halliburton and
Geophysical Services. Dick has over 40 years experience in the
seismic acquisition and processing industry and we think he is
uniquely qualified to continue the process of growing Geokinetics'
seismic services businesses."

"I am honored that the board of directors has the confidence and
trust in me to ask me to succeed Dave Johnson," Mr. Miles stated.

been substantial.  I am confident that Geokinetics is on the right
track and that we can continue to increase revenues, improve
profitability and create shareholder value in the years ahead."

integrating our recent acquisitions and the building of our
backlog, and we will continue to provide them with the tools
necessary to build Geokinetics into a world class, profitable
seismic acquisition and processing company," Mr. Miles added.  "We
will continue to focus on our core seismic acquisition businesses,
both domestically and in selected international markets, while
making the return of our processing business to profitability a
priority."

GLENCAIRN GOLD: Earns $3.3 Million in Second Quarter Ended June 30
------------------------------------------------------------------
Glencairn Gold Corporation reported on Aug. 14, 2007, its
financial and operating results for the three months and six month
periods ended June 30, 2007.

The company reported net income of $3.3 million for the second
quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared with net income of
$2.1 million during the corresponding quarter of 2006, and a net
loss of $1.2 million during the first quarter of 2007.  Income
from mining operations was $1.5 million during the second quarter
of 2007 compared with $3.8 million during the corresponding
quarter of 2006 and $756,000 during the first quarter of 2007.

Results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, included a
$6.5 million gain from the sale of the nickel royalties.

Sales were $14.3 million, as a result of the sale of 21,490 ounces
at an average realized price of $666 per ounce, compared with
sales of $12.4 million, as a result of the sale of 20,137 ounces
at an average realized price of $618 for the comparable period in
2006.

Glencairn produced 20,340 ounces during the second quarter,
compared with 21,127 ounces during the second quarter of 2006, and
31,801 ounces during the first quarter of 2007.  The lower
production in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of
2007 reflects the suspension of mining operations at Libertad.

Cash operating cost per ounce sold was $451 during the quarter, up
from $320 during the same quarter of 2006 but lower than the $470
during the first quarter of 2007.

For the first half of 2007, net income totalled $2.1 million,
compared to net income of $3.8 million in the first half of 2006.
Income from mining operations decreased in 2007 to $2.2 million  
from $5.8 million in the corresponding period of 2006.  Revenue
from gold sales increased in 2007 to $34.6 million compared to
$24.0 million in the corresponding period of 2006.

Gold sales were 52,624 ounces sold in the current first half
compared to 40,883 ounces in the corresponding half of the
previous year.

"The second quarter results built on the forward momentum that we
had from our first quarter and showed good progress that exceeds
our budgeted projections.  Unfortunately the steady progress and
good results from the company have been overshadowed by the ground
movement situation at our Bellavista Mine in Costa Rica subsequent
to our second quarter," commented president and chief executive
officer Peter Tagliamonte.  "We have suspended mining operations
and application of cyanide at Bellavista and are expending every
effort to find a permanent solution and get the company back on
track.  While this solution is sought, Bellavista will have a
significant negative impact on the company," said company
president and chief executive officer, Peter Tagliamonte.

The company had cash of $10,035,000 (Dec. 31, 2006 - $9,567,000)
and working capital of $19,151,000 at June 30, 2007, (Dec. 31,
2006 - $13,634,000).  On June 30, 2007, the company made the final
$1,500,000 repayment on its long-term debt.

At June 30, 2007, the company's consolidated financial statements
showed $111.7 million in total assets, $19.9 million in total
liabilities, and $91.8 million in total stockholders' equity.

                     Sale of Nickel Royalties

In June 2007, the company completed the sale to Independent Nickel
Corp. of its sliding scale 1-3% net smelter royalty on Victory
Nickel Inc.'s Minago nickel deposit, as well as the 2% net smelter
royalty on the Lynn Lake property.  Under the terms of the
purchase and sale agreement, Glencairn recognized a gain of
$6,548,000 from the receipt of $4,694,000 (CDN$5,000,000) in cash
and 2,500,000 Independent Nickel Corp. shares valued at $1,854,000
or CDN$0.79 per share.  The shares received are subject to a
contractual escrow agreement with the release of blocks of shares
in intervals up to June 2009.

                       Going Concern Doubt

The company believes that there exists substantial doubt about
Glencairn Gold Corporation's ability to continue as a going
concern, for the following reasons:

  -- On March 31, 2007, the company suspended mining activities at
     the Libertad Mine until such time it is determined whether a
     conventional milling circuit would be economically feasible.
     
  -- On July 25, 2007, the company suspended all mining and
     production activities at the Bellavista Mine due to concerns
     over recent ground movements.  It is not known when the mine
     will resume operations and the timing and cost of fixing the
     ground movement.

  -- Cash on hand at June 30, 2007, and cash flows expected for
     the next twelve months will not be sufficient to fund the   
     company's ongoing and future expansion needs.  Accordingly,
     the company will require funding through a sale of assets,
     equity or debt financing.

GOLDEN EAGLE: June 30 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $4.6 Million
---------------------------------------------------------------
Golden Eagle International Inc.'s consolidated balance sheet at
June 30, 2007, showed $6.2 million in total assets and
$10.8 million in total liabilities, resulting in a $4.6 million
total stockholders' deficit.

The company's consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007, also
showed strained liquidity with $555,262 in total current assets
available to pay $709,999 in total current liabilities.

Golden Eagle International Inc. reported a net loss of
$3.8 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared
with a net loss of $613,070 for the same period in 2006.  During
the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, the
company had revenues of $0.

The increase in net loss was due to non-cash financing costs of
$3.4 million related to the issuance of Series B Convertible
Preferred stock.  Without the inclusion of financing costs, net
loss would have decreased by $248,338 or 40.1% to $364,732 during
the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, from $613,070 during
the same period in 2006.

Operating losses decreased by $229,356 or 40% to $345,229 for the
three months ended June 30, 2007, from $574,585 for the three
months ended June 30, 2006.  The decreased loss was primarily due
to decrease in general and administrative expenses.

General and administrative expense decreased by $221,841 or 40.9%
to $302,218 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, from
$524,059 during the three months ended June 30, 2006.  The
decrease in general administrative expense is primarily
attributable to a $98,076 decrease in legal expenses, a $30,000  
in accrued salary forgiveness by the company's chief executive
officer, and certain costs that have been capitalized as part of
the construction of the company's C Zone production plant.

               No Revenues from Bolivian Operations

The company has had no revenues from its Bolivian operations since
June 2004.  The company was forced to cease production from its  
Cangalli prospect because of a local farmer's strike and legal
issues not associated with operations that resulted from the
failure to comply with Bolivian labor law.

The company has yet to produce revenues from its Precambrian
properties in eastern Bolivia or its Buen Futuro prospect found in
those properties.  On Oct. 31, 2006, the company began preliminary
pilot operations on its C Zone gold deposit on its Precambrian
claims in eastern Bolivia.  

                       Going Concern Doubt

Chisholm, Bierwolf & Nilson LLC, in Bountiful, Utah, expressed
substantial doubt about Golden Eagle International Inc.'s ability
to continue as a going concern after auditing the company's
consolidated financial statements for the years ended Dec. 31,
2006, and 2005.  The auditing firm reported that the company has
negative working capital and has incurred substantial losses since
its inception.  The company currently has no mineral production
and requires significant additional financing to satisfy its
outstanding obligations and resume and expand mining production.
In addition, the company's ability to conduct operations remains
subject to other risks, including operating in isolated regions of
Bolivia and the concentration of operations in a single
undeveloped area.

is working with its international engineering consulting firm on a
due diligence study on the company's A Zone Buen Futuro gold and
copper project.


GTA-IB LLC: June 30 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $13 Million
------------------------------------------------------------
GTA-IB LLC'S condensed combined balance sheet at June 30, 2007,
showed $49.2 million in total assets and $62.2 million in total
liabilities, resulting in a $13.0 million total member's deficit.

The company's condensed combined balance sheet also showed
strained liquidity with $6.1 million in total current assets
available to pay $15.8 million in total current liabilities.

GTA-IB LLC reported a net loss of $1.4 million and an operating
loss of $1.3 million, on total revenues of $8.7 million for the
second quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared with a net loss of
$1.2 million and an operating loss of $856,000, on revenues of
$10.3 million for the comparable period in 2006.

Total revenue for the Resort was $1.6 million less during the
three months ended June 30, 2007, than in the same period of 2006.
An overall increase in spending by Innisbrook Resort and Golf
Club's guests helped to mitigate the reduction in gross revenue
that resulted from the lower number of room nights and decreases
in banquet and catering sales in the three months ended June 30,
2007, as compared to the same period of 2006.  

The increase in operating loss primarily reflects the decrease in
total revenues, partly offset by a corresponding decrease in total
expenses.  The increase in net loss is mainly attributable to the
increase in operating loss, partly offset by other income of
$191,000 and a decrease in net interest expense.

Total Resort operating expenses, before depreciation and
amortization and excluding the Rental Pool amortization in hotel
operations, decreased by approximately $1.1 million, or 10.8%, for
the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the same
period in 2006.  This decrease is primarily attributable to the
decrease in room nights and food and beverage covers.

Depreciation and amortization expense, excluding the Rental Pool
amortization included in hotel expenses, was approximately
$566,000 and $533,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007,
and 2006, respectively.

Interest expense, net of interest income, was approximately
$234,000 and $370,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007,
and 2006, respectively.

Other income of $191,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2007,
represents the recognition of the discount in the termination fee
negotiated with Westin in connection with the sale of the
Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club.

certain adjustments.

                       Going Concern Doubt

BDO Seidman LLP, in Charlotte, North Carolina,expressed
substantial doubt about GTA-IB LLC's ability to continue as a
going concern after auditing the company's condensed combined
financial statements as of the years ended June 30, 2007, and
2005.  The auditing firm reported that the company has suffered a
loss from operations for the period from July 16, 2004,(inception)
to Dec. 31, 2006, and at Dec. 31, 2006, had deficiencies in
working capital and equity.  

As of June 30, 2007, the Resort had a working capital deficit of
approximately $9.7 million.  However, since the sale of the Resort
was concluded on July 16, 2007, the liquidity and going concern
issues were resolved.

HEALTH MANAGEMENT: Moody's Affirms Ba3 Corporate Family Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service revised Health Management Associates,
Inc.'s rating outlook to negative from stable.  Moody's also
affirmed HMA's existing ratings, including the Ba3 Corporate
Family Rating.

The change in outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the
company will not be able to improve metrics as quickly as the
company originally contemplated.  Moody's believes that a
combination of industry and company specific challenges, including
weak volume trends and increasing bad debt expense, will pressure
margins and reduce the company's ability to reduce financial
leverage.  HMA recognized a charge of $39 million in the second
quarter of 2007 to reflect the deterioration of historical
collection rates on accounts receivable related to uninsured
patients.  This most recent charge follows a $200 million increase
to bad debt reserves recognized in the fourth quarter of 2006.

The affirmation of the ratings reflects HMA's considerable scale
as one of the largest non-urban hospital operators in the US.  Its
strategic focus on non-urban markets often allows its hospitals to
benefit from a less competitive environment.  The rating is also
supported by stable trends in reimbursement and pricing, measured
as growth in same-facility revenue per adjusted admission, which
continues to be favorable for the hospital industry and HMA.

However, the ratings remain constrained by the significant amount
of financial leverage assumed and the resulting recapitalization
of the company following the payment of a $2.4 billion special
dividend in the first quarter of 2007.  The increased leverage and
interest burden has resulted in pro forma cash flow coverage of
debt and interest coverage metrics that are appropriate for the
single B rating category.  Further, the rating reflects the
company's modest geographic diversity, with roughly half of all
facilities located in Florida and Mississippi.

These ratings have been affirmed/LGD assessments revised:

-- $500 million senior secured revolving credit facility, to Ba2
    (LGD3, 41%) from Ba2 (LGD3, 42%)

-- $2,750 million senior secured term loan, to Ba2 (LGD3, 41%)
    from Ba2 (LGD3, 42%)

-- Corporate Family Rating, Ba3

-- Probability of Default Rating, Ba3

Headquartered in Naples, Florida, HMA is an owner and operator of
acute-care hospitals in non-urban settings.  The company provides
inpatient services such as general surgery, and oncology as well
as outpatient services such as laboratory, x-ray and physical
therapy services.  In addition, some facilities also offer
specialty services such as cardiology, radiation therapy and MRI
scanning.  Moody's estimates that the company generated revenues
of about $4.24 billion in the twelve months ended June 30, 2007.


HEALTHCARE ACQUISITION: PharmAthene Deal Hearing Set for Aug. 27
----------------------------------------------------------------
A hearing was scheduled by the Delaware Court of Chancery for
2:00 p.m. Monday, Aug. 27, 2007, in an action filed by PharmAthene
stockholder Matthew P. Kinley pursuant to Section 225(b) of the
Delaware General Corporation Law seeking a determination from the
Delaware Court of Chancery that the merger between PharmAthene
Inc. and Healthcare Acquisition Corp. was validly approved at the
Special Meeting of Stockholders of Healthcare Acquisition Corp. on
Aug. 3, 2007, and thereafter consummated by the filing of a
Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State.

PharmaAthene is providing notice to all holders of the
common stock of PharmAthene Inc., formerly known as Healthcare
Acquisition Corp., of the pending judicial action in the Delaware
Court of Chancery.
    
On Aug. 6, 2007, the tabulation of the number of shares demanding
conversion into a right to receive cash rather than shares in the
post-merger entity was initially misreported to the Special
Meeting of Stockholders of Healthcare Acquisition Corp. by its
transfer agent.  

After that misreporting, certain of the officers, directors and
stockholders of Healthcare Acquisition Corp. and certain
stockholders of PharmAthene purchased additional shares of common
stock of Healthcare Acquisition Corp., reducing the number of
conversion elections and allowing for consummation of the Merger.

In his Complaint, PharmAthene stockholder Mr. Kinley alleges that
the stockholder action taken at the Special Meeting of
Stockholders of Healthcare Acquisition Corp. on Aug. 3, 2007 was
sufficient to approve the Merger.  

PharmAthene has consummated the Merger in accordance with the
wishes of over 75% of Healthcare Acquisition Corp.'s stockholders
who voted in favor of the Merger, but the board of directors of
PharmAthene has made a determination to refrain from releasing the
funds held in trust to PharmAthene absent a determination by the
Delaware Court of Chancery that the Merger was validly approved
and consummated.

Accordingly, Plaintiff Mr. Kinley, a substantial stockholder of
PharmAthene, commenced litigation in the Delaware Court of
Chancery to determine the validity of the Merger.
    
During the hearing before the Delaware Court of Chancery at 2:00
p.m. Monday, Aug. 27, 2007, Plaintiff Mr. Kinley will ask the
Court to issue a final order and judgment ruling that the Merger
was validly approved and consummated in accordance with Delaware
law.

If granted, the final order and judgment would be binding on
PharmAthene and all former, current and future stockholders of
PharmAthene.  Any stockholder who wishes to object to the Delaware
Court of Chancery's confirmation of the validity of the Merger
must either submit an objection in writing prior to the hearing or
must appear in person or by counsel at the hearing.

Failure to submit a timely objection or to appear at the hearing
may preclude later challenge to the validity and consummation of
the Merger.  If you have any questions or concerns, you are urged
to contact the PharmAthene representative listed below for more
information.
    
The action filed by Plaintiff Mr. Kinley is captioned Matthew P.
Kinley v. Healthcare Acquisition Corp., nka PharmAthene Inc., C.A.
No. 3161-CC.

A copy of the Complaint can be obtained from PharmAthene.  The
Answer to the Complaint that PharmAthene has filed admits the
facts alleged therein and agrees that the request for judicial
determination under Section 225(b) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law is appropriate.  The location where the hearing
will be conducted, as well as the address to which any objections
are to be delivered to:

HEARST-ARGYLE: Fitch Affirms "BB" Preferred Securities Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings affirmed these ratings of Hearst-Argyle Television,
Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Hearst-Argyle Capital Trust:

Hearst-Argyle Television

-- Issuer Default Rating at 'BBB-';
-- Senior unsecured at 'BBB-'.

Hearst-Argyle Capital Trust

-- Convertible preferred securities at 'BB'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

The ratings reflect the company's strong margins, historically
conservative fiscal policies, and the company's sizeable and
geographically diverse portfolio of TV stations that reach over
18% of U.S. households.  Credit concerns include the secular
challenges affecting TV affiliate broadcasters due to the growing
popularity of Digital Video Recorders and Video on Demand, as well
as the cyclical nature of broadcasting with its dependence on ad
revenue.  Concerns also include the potential that recent weakness
in auto advertising represents a secular shift away from
traditional platforms.

While acquisition risk could be heightened under different
regulatory conditions, Fitch recognizes the company's historically
disciplined approach to acquisitions.  The Stable Outlook is based
on the expectations of free cash flow generation over the
intermediate term, the belief that liquidity is sufficient to
withstand secular pressure and a cyclical downturn concurrently,
the company's affiliations with top networks, and the its
historically conservative fiscal policies which Fitch expects will
continue despite what has been a generally weak stock performance.

The company has historically generated strong margins in excess of
35%, and free cash flow conversion on a normalized basis will
typically be in excess of 30%.  The broadcast TV industry has odd-
year and even-year variability due to the generation of
incremental revenues from premium ad spots sold during political
campaigns and, for those affiliated with NBC, Olympic broadcasts.
As such, HTV has typically operated with leverage in the 3x - 4x
range depending on the year.

This year should be at the high end of this range as weakness at
the NBC network and auto advertising combine with the lack of
political and Olympic revenues.  Fitch expects 2008 to be a fairly
strong year given the highly contested presidential election with
no incumbent candidates and HTV's presence in swing and primary
states.  Looking out to 2008, Fitch expects FCF as a percentage of
debt to return to over 10% and leverage at the lower end of recent
historical ranges.

While HTV continues to benefit from the high-margin business
dynamics of TV broadcasters, margins have deteriorated over the
years as network compensation continues to decrease and employee
and fuel & energy costs have outpaced revenue growth.  In
addition, auto advertising continues to be weak and as such, Fitch
expects 2007 margins to be materially weaker than 2005.  Fitch
believes that these factors could make it extremely difficult for
the company to restore margins to historical levels that were near
or above 40% as the weakness in auto advertising could persist.  
Despite the recent weakness, Fitch expects margins to continue to
be strong in the 32%-37% range over the intermediate term and
continue to compare favorably to other independent industry
competitors.

Future upside in margins could be realized through continued
retransmission fees, multiplexed programming, and premium
inventory that HTV should theoretically hold given its top
affiliations and traditionally top ratings.  To date,
retransmission fees have partially offset the downward trend in
network compensation and could equal historical highs once HTV's
cable affiliation agreements come up for renewal.  Fitch has some
concerns longer term regarding the potential for networks to seek
reverse compensation from their affiliated broadcasters.

Un-levered TV Broadcasters traditionally enjoy high FCF conversion
due to low maintenance capital expenditures and the tax
amortization of the company's FCC broadcast license.  HTV's FCF
conversion has been volatile over the last few years due to tax
settlements, pension contributions and non-maintenance capital
expenditures.  As expected, 2006 free cash flow conversion
rebounded to 35% as cash taxes were more normalized and lower
pension contributions were offset by higher non-maintenance
capital expenditures due to build-outs in four of HTV's studios.  
These build-outs will continue through 2007, affecting FCF
conversion; however, Fitch would expect 2008 to convert back to
the 35% range as CapEx levels normalize and operations benefit
from the Olympics and political campaigns.

Fitch continues to remain concerned with broadcast affiliates
related to emerging technologies such as VOD and DVR usage, as
affiliates depend on the network programming to promote and lead
into their late news.  Networks continue to offer their
programming on various distribution outlets making local broadcast
affiliates no longer the exclusive provider of network content in
a given market.  In addition, Fitch is concerned that increased
DVR taping of network shows, in conjunction with immediate
availability of news over the Internet, could decrease local news
viewership and pressure ad rates over the intermediate term.

Fitch notes that HTV has continued to embrace a digital strategy
including partnering with NBC for multiplexed programming and a
strong push into the design and distribution of its web sites.  It
is also important to point out that as the supply of additional
information sources flood local markets, HTV is affiliated with
the top networks and typically has top or second ratings for the
majority of its stations, giving it the ability to offer premium
inventory compared to other affiliated stations and/or web sites
in a given market.

The company's liquidity position is adequate and supported by
about $40 million in cash and $400 million of revolver
availability at June 30, 2007.  Maturities over the next few years
are material, as the company's remaining $360 million in private
placement notes will continue to amortize $90 million annually
each December.  In addition, the company's $125 million 7% senior
notes mature December 2007.  The company has ample flexibility to
re-finance these maturities in the near term with its bank
facility.

Remaining debentures mature in 2018 and 2027.  The company's
$500 million credit facility matures 2010 and contains a maximum
leverage ratio of 5x and minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.5x.
The facility also contains a minimum consolidated net worth test
of $1.045 billion + 25% of positive net income beginning with
2005.  

Fitch estimates this to be about $1.1 billion minimum net worth.  
As of June 30, 2007, Fitch estimates the company had net worth of
about $1.9 billion, which includes $0.8 billion of goodwill.  
Because of the company's mix of non-bank debt there are varying
degrees of non-bank covenants.  These include change of control
provisions in the company's private placements and preferred
securities as well as limitation on liens in the senior unsecured
bonds and private placements.

The company's private placements also contain a minimum net worth
test similar to the bank facility covenant.  There are cross-
acceleration provisions in both the senior unsecured bonds and
private placements.  In conjunction with Fitch's updated
methodology for giving equity credit to debt-like instruments
published September 2006, Fitch gives 25% equity credit (Class B)
to the capital trust's preferred securities, due to loss
absorption characteristics and deferrable interest options offset
by the securities change of control covenant.

HTV is a stand-alone public company, of which the Hearst
Corporation indirectly owns about 73% of outstanding common stock
at June 30, 2007.  The Hearst Corporation also owns a 20% interest
in the parent company of Fitch Ratings.


HERBST GAMING: S&P Assigns Corporate Credit Rating at B+
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its ratings on Herbst
Gaming Inc., including the 'B+' corporate credit rating, on
CreditWatch with negative implications.  The CreditWatch placement
follows somewhat weaker-than-anticipated second-quarter operating
performance as a result of ongoing challenges in Herbst's route
business, as well as weaker-than-expected performance at its
Primm, Nev.-based casinos in the first two months following its
acquisition of the properties.

"We had previously stated that while the company's credit measures
were weak for the 'B+' category, we expected that they would trend
more in line with the rating during fiscal 2008," noted Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Guido DeAscanis.  "However, current
operating trends suggest that credit measures could remain weak
over a more prolonged period of time than we had previously
anticipated."

In resolving the CreditWatch listing, S&P will meet with
management to assist in our assessment of:

   i. The level of concessions that are likely to be attained in
      negotiations associated with space lease contracts
      pertaining to the company's route business;

  ii. Expected operating trends in each of the route and casino
      businesses over the intermediate term;

iii. Anticipated levels of debt reduction in the next two years,
      taking into account cash flow projections and capital
      expenditure requirements; and

  iv. The level at which covenants will be reset under the
      company's credit agreement.

While a downgrade is not a predetermined outcome of our review,
S&P expects that any lowering of the rating would be limited
to one notch.


HOLLINGER INC: June 30 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by CDN$82.9 Mil.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hollinger Inc.'s consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007,
showed CDN$152.6 million in total liabilities and
CDN$235.5 million in total liabilities, resulting in an
CDN$82.9 million total stockholders' deficit.

The company's consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007, also
showed strained liquidity with CDN$51.9 million in total current
assets available to pay CDN$215.4 million in total current
liabilities.

Hollinger Inc. reported net income of CDN$7.0 million on revenue
of CDN$584,000 for the first quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared
with a net loss of CDN$13.9 million on revenue of CDN$1.8 million
for the same period ended June 30, 2006.

The decrease in revenue primarily reflects a decrease in
investment and dividend income of CDN$1.0 million and a decrease
in other revenues of CDN$221,000 during the quarter ended June 30,
2007, when compared with the three month period ended June 30,
2006.

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the corporation
received no dividend income from its investment in Class A and
Class B shares of Sun-Times.  This compares to dividend income of
CDN$884,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2006.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, interest income from the
investment of funds was CDN$527,000, compared with CDN$686,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2006.  The surplus funds giving
rise to this interest in the three months ended June 30, 2007, are
primarily from proceeds of real estate sales and the sale of a
vendor take-back mortgage.  The surplus funds giving rise to
interest in the three months ended June 30, 2006, were primarily
surplus funds from a special dividend received from Sun-Times in
January and February of 2005.

Other revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007, were
CDN$57,000 compared with CDN$278,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2006.  The decline in rental revenue is due to the sale
of two real estate properties and the expiry of a headlease on a
third property.

The swing to a net income in the three months ended June 30, 2007,
primarily reflects a decrease in professional fees and other
expenses of CDN$405,000, a decrease in total interest expense of
CDN921,000, a decrease in unrealized loss on investments of
CDN$11.6 million, an increase in net foreign currency gains of
CDN$8.7 million, a gain on sale of property of CDN$6.7 million,
and an increase in income from discontinued operations of
CDN$2.2 million.

These were partly offset by the decrease in total revenues, an
increase in stock-based compensation of CDN$523,000, a provision
of CDN$7.6 million for disputed amounts potentially due to Sun-
Times and others relating to indemnities of the company's former
directors and officers, and a decrease in unrealized gains on
Series II preference shares of CDN$578,000.

                     Discontinued Operations

On May 30, 2007, the corporation sold all of the shares it held in
Editorial La Razon S.A. ("ELR"), a Costa Rican company, to SRB CR
Limitada, a Costa Rican corporation, for proceeds of
CDN$2.1 million (US$2.0 million), less selling expenses of
CDN$90,000.  In 1990 the company had begun acquiring an interest
in ELR, which owns and publishes La Republica newspaper in San
Jose, Costa Rica, a small circulation daily newspaper focused on
the broader business community in Costa Rica.  Its principal
revenue sources are advertising, circulation and commercial
printing.

                  Unrealized Loss on Investments

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the company recorded
an unrealized loss of CDN$1.6 million (compared to an unrealized
loss of CDN$13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006)
relating to the decrease in the fair value of its investment in
Sun-Times, including the effects of currency exchange rates, based
on the last bid price of a Sun-Times Class A share.

                   Series II preference shares

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the company recorded
an unrealized gain of CDN$77,000 (compared to an unrealized gain
of CDN$655,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006) relating
to the decrease in the fair value of the Series II preference
share liability, being the bid price of the Sun-Times Class A
shares for which they are exchangeable.

                     Gain on Sale of Property

On May 8, 2007, the company sold its Toronto corporate office at
10 Toronto Street for CDN$14.0 million, resulting in a gain on
sale of CDN$6.7 million.

                    Net Foreign Currency Gains

The foreign exchange loss on US cash and cash equivalents was
CDN$473,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared
with CDN$1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

The principal of the Secured Notes at June 30, 2007, and March 31,
2007 was US$93 million.  Together with interest accrued thereon,
these amounts payable generated a foreign exchange gain of
CDN$8.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007.  Accrued
dividends on Series II preference shares was US$4.5 million
throughout the same period and generated a foreign exchange gain
of CDN$403,000.  The Sun-Times loan payable in the principal
amount of US$20.4 million plus accrued interest generated a
foreign exchange gain of CDN$3.1 million.  The disputed amounts
due Sun-Times of US$22.8 million at June 30, 2007, up from
US$15.7 million on March 31, 2007, generated a gain of
CDN$1.4 million while the disputed amounts due Conrad Black in the
principal amount of US$15.3 million plus accrued interest thereon
generated a foreign exchange gain of CDN$1.9 million in the three
months ended June 30, 2007.

              Net Income from Continuing Operations

Net income from continuing operations before taxes was
CDN$2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared
with a net loss before taxes of CDN$15.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2006.

                    Provision for Income Taxes

Recovery of income taxes was CDN$2.0 million in the three months
ended June 30, 2007, which was materially unchanged compared with
the three months ended June 30, 2006.  These amounts are largely
accounting recoveries and will not result in any increase in cash
balances of the company.

statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, are available for

                       Liquidity Resources

Negative cash flows from operating activities during the three
months ended June 30, 2007, were CDN$7.8 million compared to
CDN$5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006.  For the
three months ended June 30, 2007, the company recorded no dividend
revenue from Sun-Times, compared to CDN$884,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2006.

There were no cash flows provided by financing activities during
the three months ended June 30, 2007, and the three months ended
June 30, 2006.

Cash flows provided by investing activities during the three
months ended June 30, 2007, were CDN$18.5 million, compared to
cash flows of CDN$5.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
2006.  The primary contributors to investing activities in the
three months ended June 30, 2007, were CDN$13.2 million from the
sale of the 10 Toronto Street property and CDN$8.3 million from
the sale of a mortgage receivable on a property at Dufferin Street
and Lawrence Avenue West, Toronto, Ontario.  The cash flow is
partially offset by a CDN$2.9 million contribution to an interest
bearing trust as a condition of an agreement with Morneau Sobeco
relating to a lien on the property at 10 Toronto Street.  There
were no property sales in the three months ended June 30, 2006.

In the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, the cash flow
provided by investing activities primarily related to funds that
were released in accordance with SEC escrow arrangements required
to be maintained by the company.  These escrow funds have been
fully depleted.

I/OMAGIC CORP: Posts Net Loss of $839,599 in Quarter Ended June 30
------------------------------------------------------------------
I/OMagic Corp. reported a net loss of $839,599 and a loss from
operations of $728,457 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007,
compared with net income and loss from operations of $1.6 million
for the same period in 2006.

Net sales decreased by $3.4 million, or 34%, to $6.5 million in
the second quarter of 2007 as compared to $9.9 million in the
second quarter of 2006.  A combination of factors affected net
sales, including a $2.8 million decrease in sales of optical data
storage products.  Sales of CD- and DVD-based products continue to
decrease in the second quarter of 2007 because they are generally
included as a standard component in most new computer systems.  

Also, sales of mobile data storage products decreased by
$2.5 million, or 51%, to $2.3 million, or 37% of net sales, in the
second quarter of 2007 as compared to $4.8 million, or 48% of net
sales, in the second quarter of 2006, which was partially offset
by an increase in net sales of desktop data storage products
during the second quarter of 2007 of $1.7 million, or 26% of net
sales, as compared to $318,000, or 2% of our net sales for the
second quarter of 2006.

In addition, the company's overall product return rate increased
to 14.6% in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 9.6% in the
second quarter of 2006.  The increase in overall product return
rate resulted from an increase in sales of desktop magnetic data
storage products in the first quarter of 2007 compared to
the first quarter of 2006, which experienced a high rate of
return.  

The decrease in loss from operations mainly reflects a decrease in
total operating expenses which decreased to $1.2 million compared
to $2.9 million in the comparable period of 2006.  

The swing to a net loss in the second quarter of 2007 from net
income in 2006 primarily reflects other income of $2.4 million in
the second quarter of 2006 as a result of a litigation
settlement.                                  

Selling, marketing and advertising expenses decreased by $252,000,
or 49%, to $264,000 in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to
$516,000 in the second quarter of 2006.  

General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.4 million, or
60%, to $933,000 in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to $2.4
million  in the second quarter of 2006.  This decrease was
primarily due to a decrease of $1.2 million in offering expenses.

Net interest expense increased by $19,000, or 21%, to $111,000 in
the second quarter of 2007 as compared to $92,000 in the second
quarter of 2006.  This increase primarily resulted from higher
borrowings on the company's line of credit and higher effective
rates of interest on those borrowings in the second quarter of
2007 as compared to the second quarter of 2006.

At June 30, 2007, the company's consolidated balance sheet showed
$16.1 million in total assets, $10.9 million in total liabilities,
and $5.2 million in total stockholders' equity.

                     Going Concern Doubt

Swenson Advisors LLP, in San Diego, expressed substantial doubt
about I/OMagic Corp.'s ability to continue as a going concern
after auditing the company's consolidated financial statements for
the year ended Dec. 31, 2006.  The auditing firm reported that the
company has incurred significant operating losses, serious
liquidity concerns and may require additional financing in the
foreseeable future.

At June 30, 2007, the company had cash and cash equivalents of
$816,248.  The company currently has almost no amounts available
to it for borrowing under its credit facility with Silicon Valley
Bank.  In addition, as of August 10, 2007, the company had only
$403,000 of cash on hand.  The company presently may not have
sufficient liquidity to fund its operating needs for the next
twelve months.

INDEPENDENCE IV: Fitch Cuts Rating on $24.6 Mil. Class C Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch downgraded two and affirmed four classes of notes issued by
Independence IV CDO, Ltd.  These rating actions are the result of
Fitch's review process and are effective immediately:

-- $75,232,841 class A-1 (Series 1) notes affirmed at 'AAA';

-- $79,725,042 class A-1 (Series 2) notes affirmed at 'AAA';

-- $29,968,808 class A-2 notes affirmed at 'AAA';

-- $28,470,368 class A-3 notes affirmed at 'AAA';

-- $29,968,808 class B notes downgraded to 'A' from 'AA' and
    placed on Rating Watch Negative;

-- $24,587,814 class C notes downgraded to 'B' from 'BBB' and
    remain on Rating Watch Negative.

Independence IV is a collateralized debt obligation that closed on
June 26, 2003 and is managed by Declaration Management & Research
LLC, which is rated 'CAM2' by Fitch.  The portfolio is currently
composed of subprime residential mortgage-backed securities
(55.5%), along with prime RMBS (12.8%), CDOs (9.3%) and other
structured finance assets (22.4%).  Independence IV exited its
reinvestment period in July 2006.

Fitch conducted cash flow modeling utilizing various default
timing and interest rate scenarios to measure the breakeven
default rates going forward relative to the minimum cumulative
default rates required for the rated liabilities.  Fitch's rating
actions also reflect the recent credit quality deterioration
within the portfolio.  The majority of these actions has taken
place in the last two months and was the result of credit
deterioration in the subprime RMBS space.

Since Fitch's last review of Independence IV, about 10% of the
portfolio has been downgraded.  In addition, 6% of the underlying
assets are currently on Rating Watch Negative.  Of the exposure to
subprime RMBS in Independence IV, 36.6% consists of the 2005 and
2006 vintages, which are experiencing higher levels of
delinquencies and defaults.

Fitch believes that this subprime exposure, along with credit
deterioration in the portfolio has increased the risk profile of
the class B and C notes.  This rating analysis also incorporated
Fitch's revised methodology for rating structured finance CDOs.

The class B and C notes remain on RWN due to exposure to 2006 and
2007 vintage subprime RMBS collateral that has not been reviewed
by any agency.  Fitch expects to resolve the Rating Watch status
on these notes as the expected performance of these bonds is more
apparent.

The ratings of the class A-1 (Series 1), A-1 (Series 2), A-2, A-3
and B notes address the likelihood that investors will receive
full and timely payments of interest, as per the governing
documents, as well as the stated balance of principal by the legal
final maturity date.  The rating of the class C notes addresses
the likelihood that investors will receive ultimate and
compensating interest payments, as per the governing documents, as
well as the stated balance of the principal by the legal final
maturity date.


INDEPENDENCE V: Fitch Cuts Rating on Two Note Classes to 'B+'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch downgraded three and affirmed four classes of notes issued
by Independence V CDO, Ltd.  These rating actions are the result
of Fitch's review process and are effective immediately:

-- $282,255,172 class A-1 notes affirmed at 'AAA';

-- $84,000,000 class A-2A notes affirmed at 'AAA';

-- $15,000,000 class A-2B notes affirmed at 'AAA';

-- $56,400,000 class B notes affirmed at 'AA';

-- $22,548,010 class C notes downgraded to 'BBB-' from 'BBB' and
    remains on Rating Watch Negative;

-- $19,100,000 series 1 preference shares downgraded to 'B+' from
    'BB-' and remains on Rating Watch Negative;

-- $5,500,000 series 2 preference shares downgraded to 'B+' from
    'BB-' and remains on Rating Watch Negative.

Independence V is a collateralized debt obligation that closed on
Feb. 25, 2004 and is managed by Declaration Management & Research
LLC, which is rated 'CAM2' by Fitch.  The portfolio is currently
composed of subprime residential mortgage-backed securities
(69.4%), along with prime RMBS (15.2%) and other structured
finance assets (15.5%).  Independence V exited its reinvestment
period in March 2007.

Fitch conducted cash flow modeling utilizing various default
timing and interest rate scenarios to measure the breakeven
default rates going forward relative to the minimum cumulative
default rates required for the rated liabilities.  Fitch's rating
actions also reflect the recent credit quality deterioration
within the portfolio.

The majority of these actions has taken place in the last two
months and was the result of credit deterioration in the subprime
RMBS space.  Since Fitch's last review of Independence V, 10.6% of
the portfolio has been downgraded.  In addition, 2.6% of the
underlying assets are currently on Rating Watch Negative.  Of the
exposure to subprime RMBS in Independence V, 5.9%, 26.1% and 10.2%
consist of the 2005, 2006 and 2007 vintages, respectively, which
are experiencing higher levels of delinquencies and defaults.

Fitch believes that this subprime exposure, along with credit
deterioration in the portfolio has increased the risk profile of
the class C notes and preference shares.  This rating analysis
incorporated Fitch's revised methodology for rating structured
finance CDOs.

The class C notes and the Series 1 and 2 preference shares remain
on RWN due to the exposure to 2006 and 2007 vintage subprime RMBS
collateral that has not been reviewed by any rating agency.  Fitch
expects to resolve the Rating Watch status on these notes as the
expected performance of these bonds is more apparent.

The ratings of the class A-1, A-2A, A-2B and B notes address the
likelihood that investors will receive full and timely payments of
interest, as per the governing documents, as well as the stated
balance of principal by the legal final maturity date.  The rating
of the class C notes addresses the likelihood that investors will
receive ultimate and compensating interest payments, as per the
governing documents, as well as the stated balance of the
principal by the legal final maturity date.  The rating on the
series 1 preference shares addresses the ultimate payment of a 2%
coupon and the ultimate repayment of principal.  The rating on the
series 2 preference shares addresses the ultimate payment of a 2%
internal rate of return and the ultimate repayment of principal.


INFOWAVE SOFTWARE: Posts CDN$1.7 Million Net Loss in Second Qtr.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Infowave Software released on Aug. 14, 2007, its financial results
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the company
recorded a net loss of CDN$1.7 million and CDN$2.7 million,
respectively.  This compared to a net loss of CDN$1.1 million and
CDN$2.3 million for the same periods last year.

Revenue for the first three and six months of 2007 was CDN$785,492
and CDN$2.0 million, respectively compared to CDN$683,537 and
CDN$1.1 million in the corresponding periods last year.  These
increases reflect additional professional services business
combined with recurring revenue from the company's maintenance and
support contracts.

Operating expenses for the three and six months of 2007 were
CDN$1.9 million and CDN$3.8 million, respectively compared with
CDN$1.6 million and CDN$3.3 million during the same periods last
year.  These increases reflect higher sales and marketing expenses
partially offset by lower administration and research and
development costs.

At June 30, 2007, the company's consolidated balance sheet showed
CDN$7.1 million in total assets, CDN$2.8 million in total
liabilities, and CDN$4.3 million in total stockhoders' equity.

At June 30, 2007, the company's consolidated balance sheet also
showed strained liquidity with CDN$1.9 million in total current
assets available to pay CDN$2.8 million in total current
liabilities.

                       Going Concern Doubt

The company has experienced operating losses and negative cash
flows from operations during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007, and in prior periods.  To date, the company has
financed its continuing operations through revenue and equity
financings.

Management is of the opinion that the sufficiency of cash
available to fund operations beyond Sept. 30, 2007, is currently
uncertain.  As a result there exists significant doubt about the
company's ability to operate as a going concern for the next
twelve months.

INTEGRAL NUCLEAR: Court Sets Oct. 22 Final Cash Collateral Hearing
------------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey gave
Integral Nuclear Associates LLC and its debtor-affiliates,
authority, on an interim basis, to use the cash collateral
securing repayment of their obligations to:

   a) Lyon Financial Services Inc. dba US Bank Portfolio Services,
      as servicer for certain special purpose entities, and the
      DVI Liquidating Trust and as agent for U.S. Bank, National
      Association as trustee;

   b) Cardinal Health 414 Inc.;

   c) MarCap Corporation;

   d) Siemens Medical Solutions USA Inc.;

   e) Phillips Medical Capital LLC; and

   f) Ronald and Marcia Lissak.

Specifically, the Court permits the Debtors to use the cash
collateral until Oct. 27, 2007, for these purposes:

   -- maintenance and preservation of their assets; and

   -- the continued operation of their businesses, including, but
      not limited to payroll, payroll taxes, employee expenses,
      and insurance costs.

A budget detailing the Debtors' cash collateral use is available
for free at http://researcharchives.com/t/s?22bc

As adequate protection, the Debtors grant the Lenders a
replacement lien on their post-petition accounts receivable in the
same priority as the Lenders' pre-petition liens, subject to a
determination as to the validity and extent of the liens.

In addition, the Debtors allow the Lenders a superpriority
administrative claim to the extent the Debtors' use of the
Lenders' cash collateral results in a diminution in value of the
collateral such that the Lenders are placed in an undersecured
position.

The Court notes that the adequate protection does not apply to
MarCap's claims based on the Debtors' preliminary determination
that Marcap's claims are claims under true leases.

A final hearing on the Debtors' use of cash collateral is

INTERNATIONAL PAPER: Inks 50:50 Joint Venture with Ilim Holding
---------------------------------------------------------------
International Paper and Ilim Holding S.A. have signed a definitive
agreement to form a 50:50 joint venture, a foreign-domestic
alliance in the Russian forest sector.  The joint venture will
operate as Ilim Group.
    
"After extensive negotiations and due diligence, we remain
impressed with Ilim's performance and potential, and with demand
growth in Russia and Asia for our key products," John Faraci,
International Paper chairman and chief executive officer, said.
"Ilim has continued to strengthen its operations and substantially
improve its profitability, and we're investing at a good multiple
and expect attractive returns.  As we continue to transform
International Paper, focusing on our global uncoated paper and
packaging businesses, the joint venture with Ilim positions us
very well within low- cost, high-growth markets in Russia and
Asia."
    
According to the terms of the agreement, International Paper will
purchase 50 percent of Ilim Holding S.A., for approximately
$650 million, subject to certain conditions at closing. Ilim
Holding has an enterprise value of approximately $1.6 billion,
including debt, EBITDA of approximately $212 million for the first
six months of 2007, and projected 2007 EBITDA of more than $400
million.

The deal received approval from the Russian Federal Antimonopoly
Service in June and is expected to close early in the fourth
quarter of 2007.
    
"The alliance between International Paper and Ilim Group will
allow us to create value by linking the unique capabilities each
partner offers," Mary Laschinger, International Paper senior vice
president and president of IP Europe, said.  "International Paper
has been a committed part of the Russian forest products industry
since 1999 through the ownership of our Svetogorsk Mill, and we
look forward to the opportunity to grow the joint venture, while
contributing to the development of a sustainable forest products
industry in Russia."
    
"We are pleased to disclose the beginning of a new stage in the
Group's development," Ilim Group chairman Zakhar Smushkin, said.
"This alliance is an example of cooperation between Russian and
international companies toward effective development and
processing of Russian forest resources."
    
"I hope this alliance will not just give a powerful impetus toward
Ilim Group's development but will also open the way for the inflow
of investment and know-how that our industry so badly needs,"
Mr. Smushkin continued.  "Our alliance is a response to global
market challenges and the appeals from the Russian President and
the Government of Russia. Cooperation sets the pace for increasing
the share of value-added products in our industry and propels
Russia to its well-deserved place in the global pulp and paper
industry."
    
Ilim Group operates the pulp and paper mills located in the
European and Siberian regions of Russia.  On July 1, 2007, the
ownership of the mills, formerly, Ilim Pulp's Kotlas Pulp and
Paper Mill, Bratsk Wood Industrial Complex and Ust-Ilimsk Wood
Industrial Complex was consolidated under Russian open joint-stock
company Ilim Group, a subsidiary of Ilim Holding.  These mills
produce annually more than 2.5 million tons of market pulp,
uncoated papers and packaging.  The joint venture will continue to
operate this business.
    
A key element of the proposed joint venture strategy is a long-
term investment program in which the joint venture would invest,
through cash from operations and additional debt, approximately
$1.5 billion in Ilim's four mills over approximately five years.
This unprecedented investment in the Russian pulp and paper
industry would be used to upgrade equipment, increase production
capacity and allow for new high-value uncoated paper, pulp and
corrugated packaging product development.
    
The joint venture will be headquartered in St. Petersburg, Russia,
and its board of directors will continue to be chaired by Mr.
Smushkin and will include four members each from International
Paper and Ilim Group.  In addition, Ilim has accepted
International Paper's nomination of IP senior vice president Paul
Herbert to be the joint venture's CEO.
    
The pulp and paper mill that International Paper currently owns
and operates in Svetogorsk, in Russia's Leningrad region, will not
be owned by the joint venture.  Similarly, Ilim Pulp's wood-
products enterprises will not be integrated into the joint
venture; instead Ilim plans to combine them to create Russia's
largest timber-processing holding company.

and 7.8% defeasance since Fitch's last rating action. In total 33
loans (34.4%) have defeased, including one credit assessed loan
(4.7%).  As of the August 2007 distribution date, the pool has

outstanding principal balance as of July 2007 of $100.6 million

million.  The B note is non-rated and non-pooled.  Combined total
occupancy for all of the centers as of March 2007 was 92.5%,
compared to 94.1% at issuance.


JED OIL: June 30 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $35.1 Million
-----------------------------------------------------------
JED Oil Inc. reported on Aug. 15, 2007, its financial results for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

At June 30, 2007, the company's consolidated balance sheet showed
$40.5 million in total assets, $47.3 million in total liabilities,
and $28.3 million in convertible redeemable preferred shares,
resulting in a $35.1 million total stockholders' deficit.

The company's consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007, also
showed strained liquidity with $8.3 million in total current
assets available to pay $47.1 million in total current
liabilities.

Net income applicable to common shareholders was $14.6 million for
the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, and $10.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2007, due to the gain on sale of the
Ferrier and Sousa properties.  Comparatively, the net income for
the same periods of 2006 were $468,000 for the quarter and
$446,000 for the six months ended June 30.

Second quarter 2007 revenue decreased 56% to approximately
$3.8 million from $8.6 million in the same period last year.  
First half 2007 revenue decreased 46% to approximately
$7.1 million from $13.3 million for the first half of 2006.

Exit production rate was down 86% to 260 boe/d from 1,825 boe/d at
the close of the second quarter of 2006 primarily due to asset
sales to fund the purchase of Caribou Resources Corp.

Funds provided by operating activities increased to approximately
$1.3 million from funds used in operating activities
of $16.6 million for the 3 months ended June 30, 2006.

Average production volumes decreased 62% for the quarter and 49%
for the six months ended June 30, 2007, to 871 boe/d from
2,277 boe/d, and to 901 boe/d from 1,766 boe/d respectively.

statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, are available for

                   Recent Operating Highlights

JED sold its producing properties in the North Ferrier area of
Alberta and a non-operated property at Sousa in Alberta for net
proceeds of over $34.2 million.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 9, 2007,
Caribou Resources Corp. is now a wholly owned subsidiary of JED
Oil and its name has been changed to JED Production Inc.

A settlement of five drilling contracts, which contributed
$1.9 million to the loss for the first quarter, also brought in
cash of $2.2 million in the second quarter and terminated
commitment liabilities of $17.665 million over the next 4 years.

Management's efforts to reduce overhead expenses result in a 29%
decrease in expenses in the current quarter versus the second
quarter of 2006.

Referring to the Caribou acquisition, James Rundell, JED's
president stated, "We believe the Caribou assets offer tremendous
upside potential with relatively low incremental expenditures.
While we were aware that certain assets were partially developed
and easily converted into production, our continued review of well
files and other information has uncovered significantly more
opportunities than we had first thought."

The Caribou acquisition is also a key component to the plan
presented to the American Stock Exchange regarding the company
regaining compliance with the AMEX Company Guide.  Richard
Carmichael, JED's chief financial officer commented, "We have
taken some large steps over the last six months to reshape the
company by rebuilding the management team, addressing the cost
side of our business, and through asset rationalization, however,
the acquisition of Caribou is definitely a highlight so far.  The
acquisition has provided the type of assets critical to our
success over the review period."

Subsequent to June 30, 2007, the company drilled, completed, and
is testing a second well in the West Ferrier area of Alberta.
Early tests show that initial production of JED's 80% interest
should approach 200 boe/d.  The company plans to spud an
additional well in this area before the end of the week.  

                          Legal Action

JED Oil Inc. has received notification of a legal action against
it by one of its noteholders.  In its complaint, the party has
alleged a breach of a covenant of the convertible note and has
claimed a right of redemption at 120% of the face value of the
note plus interest.  The claim totals $3,607,500 plus interest
which includes the original face value of the note.  The
noteholder is alleging that the acquisition of Caribou Resources
Corp. is a prohibited investment rather than a permitted
acquisition under the terms of the convertible notes as management
contends.  Management of JED does not consider that the action has
merit and will vigorously defend against it.

                       Going Concern Doubt

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 5, 2007,
Ernst & Young LLP, in Calgary, Canada, expressed substantial doubt
about JED Oil Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern after
auditing the company's consolidated financial statements for the
years ended Dec. 31, 2006, and 2005.  The auditing firm reported
that the company has incurred a substantial loss and realized a
negative cash flow from operations for the year ended Dec. 31,
2006.  At Dec. 31, 2006, the company also had a working capital
deficiency and a stockholders' deficiency.

At June 30, 2007, the company had a working capital deficiency of
$38.8 million and a stockholder's deficiency $35.1 million.  

Management anticipates that cash flow generated by operations from
the remaining and acquired assets over the remaining term of the
Convertible Note Payable and the Convertible Redeemable Preferred
Shares will not meet the amount required to repay these
obligations as they become due.

The Convertible Note Payable and Convertible Redeemable Preferred
Shares outstanding are due to be repaid Feb. 1, 2008, unless they
are converted to common shares.  The conversion price for the
shares is in excess of the current market share price.  Therefore
the company will require the support of the Note holders and
Preferred Shareholders to continue as a going concern.

KL INDUSTRIES: Disclosure Statement Hearing Continued to Oct. 23
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Honorable Carol A. Doyle of the the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of Illinois will convene a status hearing
on Oct. 23, 2007, at 10:30 a.m., regarding the Disclosure
Statement explaining KL Industries Inc.'s Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization

                       Overview of the Plan

The Plan, as published in the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 7,
2007, provides for the liquidation of all the Debtor's property
and for a distribution of that property consistent with Section
726 of the Bankruptcy Code.

On the Plan's effective date, the Debtor's cash and assets that
are not sold or disposed will be transferred to a Liquidating
Trust that will be administered for the benefit of all Holders
with Allowed Claims.

                       Treatment of Claims

Under the Plan, Holders of Non-Priority Tax Claims will be paid in
full.

LaSalle Bank's Secured Claim, estimated at $6 million as of the
Debtor's bankruptcy filing, will paid using the proceeds of the
sale its collateral.

Holders of Other Secured Claims, at the Debtor's election, will
receive:

    -- the collateral securing their claim or

    -- the liquidation proceeds of the collateral securing their
       claim less costs of liquidation.

Holders of General Unsecured Claims will receive their pro rata
share of the liquidation proceeds after payment in full of allowed
non-tax priority claims.  The Debtor tells the Court that in its
schedules of assets and liabilities, it listed unsecured claims at
$5.1 million.  However, the claims register maintained by the
Court shows that as of Oct. 6, 2006, general unsecured claims
totaled approximately $7.1 million.  The Debtor estimates that
unsecured creditors will receive around 0% to 20% of their claims.

Holders of Untimely Filed Claims will not receive anything under
the Plan.

Equity Interests Holder will also not receive anything under the
Plan and those interests will be cancelled.

LEE COUNTY: Moody's Withdraws Caa3 Rating on Revenue Bonds
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service withdrew the Caa3 rating for the Lee
County Industrial Development Authority Revenue Bonds, Series
2003A in the amount of $7,835,000 and the Taxable Revenue Bonds,
Series 2003B in the amount of $280,000.

The project was sold through foreclosure in Lee County, Florida,
on July 10, 2007.  The winning bid for the project was $9,375,000
million from Canyon Creek Development, Inc., an affiliate of
Southwest Management, Inc.  Canyon Creek paid the bid price in
full on Aug. 3, 2007, and on Aug. 10, 2007, the trustee
distributed $8,743,299.37 of such proceeds to all of the Senior
Bondholders of record as of Aug. 6, 2007.

All Series 2003A and 2003B bondholders received 100% of the
principal of the outstanding bonds plus accrued interest.  The
remainder of the sale proceeds has not yet been distributed to pay
bondholders of the subordinated bonds, Series 2003C, which Moody's
did not rate, as well as to pay the lender, Allied Mortgage
Capital Corporation, for their fees and expenses, the broker for
the foreclosure sale, and the trustee for their fees and expenses.

MAIDENFORM BRANDS: Moody's Rates New $50 Mil. Term Loan at Ba2
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service today assigned Ba2 ratings to
Maidenform's new senior secured $50 million revolver and
$100 million term loan, the proceeds of which will be used to
refinance the company's existing senior secured revolver and term
loan.  At the same time, Moody's affirmed the company's corporate
family rating at Ba3 and probability of default rating at B1.  The
outlook remains stable.  The ratings on the existing $50 million
revolver and $150 million term loan are being withdrawn at this
time.

Maidenform's Ba3 corporate family rating reflects the company's
well known brands and product innovations that help drive strong
operating margins, improving channel diversity with penetration
into the mass market, albeit at lower margins, and financial
metrics that are strong for the current rating.  Maidenform's
ratings are constrained by its lack of scale in revenue while
operating primarily in the highly competitive, commoditized
intimate apparel segment.  While the company's move into the mass
market improves its channel diversity, it also may result in
increased its customer concentration.

The stable outlook reflects the expectation that Maidenform will
continue to reduce debt levels while maintaining strong operating
margins in a competitive marketplace and its financial metrics
remain at levels appropriate for the current rating category.
While the current rating category has room for tuck-in
acquisitions that improve diversity, Moody's would expect the
company to remain conservative in its financial policies and not
become aggressive in large debt financed acquisitions or
shareholder friendly activities.

These ratings were assigned:

-- $50 million senior secured revolver at Ba2 (LGD2 29%)
-- $100 million senior secured term loan at Ba2 (LGD2 29%)

These ratings were affirmed:

-- Corporate Family Rating at Ba3
-- Probability of Default Rating at B1

These ratings were withdrawn:

-- $50 million senior secured revolver, was Ba2 (LGD2 29%)
-- $150 million senior secured term loan, was Ba2 (LGD2 29%)

Maidenform Brands, Inc., the parent of Maidenform, Inc., is a
designer and marketer of intimate apparel, including the
Maidenform, Flexees and Lilyette brands.  Based in Bayonne, New
Jersey, the company had revenues of $425 million for the last 12
months ending June 30, 2007.


MEDQUEST INC: Novant Deal Cues S&P to Put Ratings Under Watch
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its ratings on MedQuest
Inc. and parent MQ Associates Inc. on CreditWatch with positive
implications due to MedQuest's agreement to merge with Novant
Health, a not-for-profit integrated health care system in North
and South Carolina.  MQ Associates' controlling stockholder, an
affiliate of J.P. Morgan Partners LLC, has entered into a voting
agreement to vote all of its shares of stock in favor of the
merger not later than Sept. 14, 2007.  Novant will pay
$45 million in cash at closing, with a potential $35 million earn-
out payment.

"The transaction will result in a change of control under the
terms of the indentures with respect to MQ Associates'
$136 million face value at maturity ($119 million accreted value
as of June 30, 2007) 12.25% senior discount notes and MedQuest
Inc.'s $180 million 11.875% senior subordinated notes," explained
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Cheryl Richer.

Holders of both securities have the option to put the debt at 101%
within 90 days after the merger is consummated.  MQ Associates and
MedQuest have the option to call the debt, at a premium, after
Aug. 15, 2007.  

The transaction is subject to certain health care and other
regulatory approvals, including the expiration or termination of
the waiting period under the Hart Scott-Rodino Act.  If the debt
remains outstanding, Standard & Poor's will determine whether the
credit has improved as a result of new ownership.  If the debt is
repaid in full, the ratings will be withdrawn.

MPC CORP: June 30 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $50.9 Million
------------------------------------------------------------
MPC Corporation reported on Aug. 17, 2007, its unaudited financial
results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

The company's consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007, showed
$101.5 million in total assets and $152.4 million in total
liabilities, resulting in a $50.9 million total stockholders'
deficit.

The company's consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007, also
showed strained liquidity with $62.4 million in total current
assets, available to pay $82.7 million in total current
liabilities.

The net loss was $25.3 million, compared with a net loss of
$25.4 million  over the same period in 2006.

The $25.3 million net loss includes the effect of a non-operating
non-cash charge of $20.5 million related to the increase in the
fair value of derivative financial instruments carried as
derivative liabilities.  The financial instruments consist of
convertible debentures and warrants to purchase common stock of
the company.  The fair values of the derivatives are determined in
part by, and fluctuate with, the market value of the company's
common stock, which increased in market value during the second
quarter of 2007.  The convertible debentures and warrants were
sold in private placement financings in 2006.

Net revenue was $53.6 million, a decline of $14.9 million, or
21.8%, compared to the same period in 2006.

The decline in revenue for the quarter was primarily the result of
lower sales to the company's commercial, state/local government,
and education customers partially offset by higher revenues from
sales to federal government customers.  The company's orders in
backlog increased to $39 million at June 30, 2007, from
$28 million at Dec. 31, 2006.

Gross margin percentage for the second quarter was 13.1%, compared
to 12.4% during the second quarter of 2006.  SG&A expense for the
quarter was $8.8 million, compared to $10.2 million during the
second quarter of 2006, while R&D expense was $500,000, compared
to $1.0 million during the second quarter of 2006.  The  
improvement in the gross margin percentage and reductions in SG&A
and R&D expense for the second quarter of 2007 were primarily due
to cost cutting efforts initiated in 2006.

Full-text copies of the company's consolidated financial
statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, are available for
free at http://researcharchives.com/t/s?22af

                       Going Concern Doubt

Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman PC, in Denver, expressed
substantial doubt about MPC Corporation's ability to continue as a
going concern after auditing the company's consolidated financial
statements for the years ended Dec. 31, 2006, and 2005.  The
auditing firm reported that the company has suffered recurring
losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency.

Since the acquisition with MPC, the company has raised a limited
amount of additional funds to operate the business.  The funds
raised to date are not sufficient to execute the company's
business plan.  The shortfall in funding has been financed by
vendors and other creditors who have allowed the company to fall
behind on its payment obligations or who have settled amounts due
to them at amounts less than the original obligation.  

          Likelihood of Filing for Bankruptcy Protection

Absent raising a significant amount of additional funds in the
near future, the company disclosed that there is a material
possibility that it will be required to file for bankruptcy
protection unless vendors and other creditors continue to waive or
defer amounts due.  It is also likely that further delays in
obtaining financing will do significant harm to vendor
relationships and that orders received by us from customers, which
are not yet shipped are at risk of being cancelled.

NORTHLAKE CDO: Fitch Lowers Rating on $12.2 Mil. Class III Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch downgraded two and affirmed two classes of floating-rate
notes issued by Northlake CDO I.  These rating actions are the
result of Fitch's review process and are effective immediately:

-- $160,209,445 class I-MM affirmed at 'AAA/F1';

-- $53,286,020 class I-A affirmed at 'AAA';

-- $45,000,000 class II downgraded to 'BBB' from 'A';

-- $12,244,268 class III downgraded to 'BB-' from 'BB' and
    remains on Rating Watch Negative;

-- $14,000,000 preference shares remain at 'C/DR6'.

Northlake CDO I is a cash collateralized debt obligation managed
by Deerfield Capital Management LLC which closed Feb. 26, 2003.
The portfolio is composed of residential mortgage backed
securities, commercial mortgage backed securities, asset backed
securities, and CDOs.  Included in this review, Fitch discussed
the current state of the portfolio with the asset manager and
conducted cash flow modeling for various default timing, interest
rate scenarios, and prepayment assumptions to measure the
breakeven default rates going forward relative to the minimum
cumulative default rates required for the rated liabilities.

Since the last review, the portfolio has experience credit
deterioration as evidenced by an increase in the Fitch Weighted
Average Rating Factor to 16% from 13.1%, the downgrade of about
14% of the par value of the portfolio, and failures of two
coverage tests.  The Mezzanine Par Value Test OC and the
Additional Mezzanine Par Value Test OC are both currently at a
level of 100.4% which is out of compliance with the required
100.5% and 101.3%, respective levels.

At the last review, the Mezzanine Par Value Test and the
Additional Mezzanine Par Value Test were both at a level of 100.7%
indicating compliance with the Mezzanine Par Value Test and non-
compliance with the Additional Mezzanine Par Value Test.  Interest
distributions were made to pay principal on the class III notes at
the last review but due to the failure of the Mezzanine Par Value
Test since the last review, interest proceeds are now being
diverted to pay principal on the highest rated notes first and
only the class I-MM and class I-A are receiving interest
distributions to pay down principal.  The reinvestment period on
this transaction ended in March 2007 and as such any principal
proceeds received since then have been applied to pay unpaid
interest and principal on the notes in accordance with the
principal proceeds waterfall.

Currently about 46% of the portfolio represents subprime RMBS
exposure and 3.9% closed end seconds.  The 2006-2007 vintage
subprime exposure represents about 11% of the portfolio.  A rating
downgrade has been taken on only one of the eleven bonds within
this vintage category.  Fitch anticipates that further ratings
downgrades across the portfolio could occur and as such will
continue to monitor the portfolio, while also keeping the Class
III notes on Rating Watch Negative.

The ratings of the class I-MM, I-A, and II notes address the
likelihood that investors will receive full and timely payments of
interest, as per the governing documents, as well as the stated
balance of principal by the legal final maturity date.  The rating
of the class III notes addresses the likelihood that investors
will receive ultimate and compensating interest payments, as per
the governing documents, as well as the stated balance of
principal by the legal final maturity date.  The rating of the
preference shares addresses the ultimate payment of a 2% internal
rate of return.  Additionally, the 'F1' rating on the class I-MM
notes is based on the support provided to the notes by the put
agreement provided by AIG Financial Products Corp.


PAYLESS SHOESOURCE: Completes $900 Million Stride Rite Buyout
-------------------------------------------------------------
Payless ShoeSource Inc. has completed the acquisition of
The Stride Rite Corporation for at approximately $900 million,
which consisted of an aggregate $800 million payment to Stride
Rite shareholders, option holders and other equity holders, well
as the repayment of existing debt and other transaction costs.

The transaction was financed with approximately $175 million in
cash-on-hand and a $725 million term loan B at a variable rate of
currently 8.3% over 7 years.

The acquisition of Stride Rite was approved by its shareholders at
a special meeting held Aug. 16, 2007, with 80.7% of its
shareholders voting in favor of the transaction.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter in July 31, 2007,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating on Payless
ShoeSource Inc. to 'B+' from 'BB-'.  At the same time, the rating
on the company's $200 million senior subordinated notes was
lowered to 'B-' from 'B'.  All ratings have been removed from
CreditWatch, where they were placed with negative implications on
May 23, 2007.  The outlook is stable.


PERKINS & MARIE: Moody's Confirms B3 Corporate Family Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service confirmed Perkins & Marie Callender's
Inc.'s corporate family rating of B3, as well as the Ba3 rating on
PMC's senior secured credit facilities and the Caa1 rating on the
company's senior unsecured notes.  This rating action concludes
the review for further downgrade initiated on May 4, 2007.  The
rating outlook is stable.

The confirmation follows Moody's last rating action on
May 4, 2007, when Moody's downgraded PMC's CFR to B3 and placed
the rating on review for further downgrade.  The review and
downgrade were prompted by the company's technical default on the
bank credit facilities following PMC's inability to file its 10-K
for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2006 within specified
deadlines, as well as by the company's continuously weak credit
metrics.

The confirmation reflects the fact that PMC is current on its SEC
filing status after it filed its 2006 form 10-K in June and first
quarter 2007 form10-Q later in July.  The confirmed B3 CFR
incorporates Moody's view that the company's debt protection
metrics will remain weak for the next 12 to 18 months primarily
due to languishing same store sales growth and margin pressures.
The slow sales growth arises from an operating environment that
continues to be challenging, while the margin pressures reflect
commodity price headwinds and other cost increases.  The ratings
are supported by the company's established concepts of Perkins and
Marie Callendar's, as well as by the company's decent scale and
geographic diversification and complementary day-part segments.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that PMC will stay
current on its financial reporting status, continue to realize
projected synergies, and minimize any potential deterioration in
liquidity.

Ratings Confirmed:

-- Corporate family rating at B3

-- Probability of default rating at B3

-- $40 million senior secured revolving credit facility due 2011
    at Ba3 (LGD2, 15%)

-- $100 million senior secured term loan due 2013 at Ba3 (LGD2,
    15%)

-- $190 million senior unsecured notes due 2013 at Caa1

-- Speculative grade liquidity rating at SGL-3

Perkins & Marie Callender's, headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee,
operated 154 restaurants and franchised 323 units under the
"Perkins" brand name as of April 22, 2007.  The company also
operated 92 restaurants and franchised 46 units under the "Marie
Callender's" name.  Revenues for the last twelve months were about
$603 million.

POKAGON GAMING: Moody's Affirms B3 Corporate Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Pokagon Gaming Authority's B3
corporate family rating, B3 probability of default rating, and B3
senior note rating following the recent opening of the Four Winds
Casino and Resort.  The Authority's rating outlook was revised to
positive from stable.

The affirmation of the Authority's rating considers that the Four
Winds Casino and Resort opened on time and within budget, and that
sufficient liquidity remains available to make the remaining
construction payments, fund the Dec. 2007 interest payment, and
cover ongoing ramp-up expenses.  The ratings continue to
acknowledge the Authority's relatively small size and single asset
profile.  Positive rating consideration is given to the secured
nature of the revenues and waterfall payment structure.

The outlook revision to positive is based on strong opening
traffic counts which are consistent with the established nature of
the Four Winds Casino and Resort's primary and secondary market
areas.  The market is characterized by favorable demographics and
a significant amount of gaming customers.  Operating results that
meet or exceed initial expectations over the next 2 quarters could
result in a one-notch upgrade.

Moody's most recent action on the Authority occurred on
Sep. 28, 2006 when Probability of Default ratings and LGD
assessments were assigned to the company as part of the general
roll-out of the LGD product.

The Pokagon Gaming Authority is a wholly-owned unincorporated
instrumentality of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, a
federally-recognized Indian tribe located in New Buffalo,
Michigan.  The Authority was formed in May 2006 to develop and
operate all gaming and related businesses of the Tribe, including
the Four Winds Casino and Resort.


PONTIAC GENERAL: Fitch Downgrades $1.5 Mil. Bond Rating to B+
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch downgraded to 'B+' from 'BB-' the underlying rating on
Pontiac General Building Authority, Michigan's outstanding
$1.5 million limited tax general obligation bonds, series 2002.
The Rating Outlook is Negative.

The downgrade reflects the city's continued severely constrained
financial flexibility, structural deficit, and inadequate
financial reporting controls.  The Negative Outlook reflects
continued economic uncertainty with the large concentration of
General Motors Corp. employment.

Pontiac's constrained financial operations are due to declines in
state shared and income tax revenues and a continued structurally
imbalanced budget.  The city's economy has weakened over the past
several years and is heavily dependent on GM both as a taxpayer
and employer.  Fitch maintains a Negative Outlook on GM's 'B'
Issuer Default Rating.

The city reduced its cumulative general fund deficit in fiscal
2006 to $4.1 million from $31.7 million in fiscal 2005 primarily
through the issuance of deficit spending bonds.  However, the on-
going structural imbalance of the city's general fund produced an
operating loss of about $2 million for preliminary fiscal 2007
results, increasing the city's cumulative general fund deficit to
about $6.1 million.

The passage of four 10-year property tax measures on Nov. 7, 2006
is expected to provide some near-term budgetary relief and provide
funds for certain operations and services, including police,
library, senior citizens, and recreational programs.  The new tax
levies should generate nearly $3 million per year.  However, the
adopted fiscal 2008 budget projects reduced income tax receipts
due to the loss of significant GM employment in late 2006.

Although the city has been able to reduce general fund
expenditures through significant layoffs and attrition,
substantial additional cuts will have to be made in the near
future to remedy the city's structurally imbalanced budget.
Internal financial reporting as well as account and fund
management controls are inadequate.  In 2005, the city contracted
an outside accounting firm to help address financial control
issues and to supplement existing financial staff.  Although some
of the reporting and accounting issues appear to have been
addressed, the city's inability to adequately manage ongoing
financial operations remains a concern.  

The struggle to maintain adequate financial operations is
exacerbated by prior cost containment measures, which eliminated a
number of staff positions.  It is anticipated that the outside
accounting firm will continue working with the city until
additional personnel are hired and trained, possibly in 2009.
Fitch will continue to monitor the city's progress in improving
its financial systems and operations.

Located 31 miles from Detroit in Oakland County, Michigan,
Pontiac's unemployment rate is high at 17.6%.  Wealth levels
within the city are low, as per capita income is 45% of the
county, 65% of the state, and 63% of the national averages.  GM
concentration is significant, representing one-third of the city's
tax base.  GM currently employs about 6,000 workers in Pontiac.  

In November 2006, GM announced plans to relocate 3,600 engineering
and related employees from its Centerpoint campus in the city.  
The Pontiac Assembly center, which manufactures the Chevrolet
Silverado and the GMC Sierra full-size pick-up trucks, accounts
for a significant amount of remaining GM employment in the city.
Last month GM announced it would reduce staff levels by several
hundred at this plant.

The city's debt levels are moderate with direct debt equal to
$745 per capita, or 1.3% of full market value.  Overlapping debt
totals approximately $1,445 per capita, or 2.4% of full market
value. Repayment of debt is average with approximately 55% of
principal being retired in 10 years.


PONTIAC MICHIGAN: Fitch Cuts Water and Sewer Bond Ratings to BB-
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings downgraded Pontiac, Michigan's water and sewer bonds
as:

-- $3.1 million outstanding water supply system revenue bonds to
    'BB-' from 'BB';

-- $4.7 million sewage disposal system revenue bonds to 'BB-'
    from 'BB'.

Concurrently, Fitch removes the bonds from Rating Watch Negative.
The Rating Outlook is Negative.

The downgrade and Negative Rating Outlook reflect the city's
constrained financial operations, weakened local economy, and the
legal availability of the water and sewer systems' funds to
support overall city operations.  

Fitch also downgraded the city's general building authority
general obligation bonds to 'B+' from 'BB-' with a Negative Rating
Outlook.  In fiscal 2005 and prior years, surpluses in the water
and sewer systems' funds were used to support other city
operations, constraining the liquidity position of both funds.
Also, increased operating costs led to deteriorated coverage
levels of negative 1.5x for the water system in fiscal 2005,
violating the stated rate covenant of 1.1x.  While sewer coverage
levels did not violate the rate covenant, levels decreased
substantially to 1.4x in fiscal 2004 as compared to 5.4x in fiscal
2003.  Net revenues of the city's water and sewer systems
separately secure the bonds.

As a result of the decreased coverage levels, rates were increased
in fiscal 2006 by nearly 13%, improving coverage and liquidity for
both systems.  The water system coverage level improved to 1.2x
with sewer coverage increasing to 3.7x.  In addition, liquidity
has improved in fiscal 2006 from fiscal 2005, with days cash on
hand increasing in the water system to 128 days from five days and
the sewer system to 47 days from 10 days.  While future transfers
of cash from either system to support the city's other financial
operations are not anticipated, the open loop system still
presents a significant concern due to the on-going structural
imbalance of the city's financial operations.  In addition, recent
loss of GM employment could lead to further deterioration of the
city's financial position and in turn the systems' limited
financial reserves.

Also, pressure on the water system's rate payers may increase as
greater wholesale water purchases from Detroit Water and Sewer
(senior lien and second lien bonds rated 'A+' and 'A' by Fitch,
respectively.) are automatically applied to water and sewer rates
charged by the city.  However, management has recently reduced
usage during peak hours, resulting in two consecutive years of
decreases in the rate Detroit charges the city for water.  Water
and sewer rate flexibility is limited due the city's low wealth
levels; per capita income is 65% and 63% of the state and national
averages, respectively, and with current unemployment rates high
at 17.6%.

The system has an exclusive franchise to provide water and sewer
services to about 20,000 customers in the city of Pontiac. The
water system receives treated water from the Detroit Water and
Sewage Department.  Sewage treatment is provided at two Pontiac-
owned sewage treatment plants -- the East Boulevard treatment
plant and the Auburn plant.  The city's water and sewer systems
have sufficient capacity to meet average water demand and
treatment flows.

In addition to the 1.1x rate covenants, both systems are required
to maintain a bond reserve at the lesser of maximum annual debt
service on the bonds, 1.25x average annual debt service or 10% of
the principal amount of the bonds; the reserves remain fully
funded.

Future capital needs will continue to be funded on a pay-go basis.
The city is in the process of upgrading its water distribution
system primarily in an effort to decrease its current unaccounted
for water loss rate of 23%.  Sewer capital needs are more limited,
as the system has replaced approximately one-third of its
equipment over the last several years from internal funding
sources.


PRC LLC: S&P Lowers Corporate Credit Rating to B
------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on PRC LLC to 'B' from 'B+'.  The outlook is negative.

At the same time, S&P lowered the rating on PRC's $160 million
first-lien credit facilities to 'BB-' (two notches above the
corporate credit rating) from 'BB'.  The recovery rating remains
unchanged at '1', indicating our expectation of full (90%-100%)
recovery in the event of a payment default.  

S&P also lowered the rating on the $67 million second-lien term
loan to 'CCC+' (two notches below the corporate credit rating)
from 'B-'.  The recovery rating remains unchanged at '6',
indicating our expectation of negligible (0%-10%) recovery in the
event of a payment default.

The downgrade of PRC, a business process outsourcer, was based on
weak operating performance and a narrowing cushion of compliance
with bank covenants.

"A slower-than-expected ramp-up in call center activity for a
major new client caused most of the company's disappointing
operating performance," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Andy
Liu.  "PRC had incurred most of the infrastructure and training
costs associated with the contract but wasn't able to staff enough
call center operators to generate revenue sufficient to offset
the costs."

Poor execution of this new contract contributed to the resignation
of PRC's CEO and CFO.  An interim management is now in place.

As a result of earnings underperformance, the company's cushion of
compliance with bank covenants has narrowed.  However, PRC's
private-equity owner, Diamond Castle Holdings LLC, could infuse
additional equity if needed to ensure that PRC remains in
compliance with bank covenants.

The ratings reflect PRC's significant revenue concentration among
its top customers, our concerns regarding its operating execution,
the competitive BPO market in which the company operates, the
presence of several larger and better capitalized competitors, and
high debt leverage.  These factors are only partially offset by
good BPO industry growth prospects.

SAN HOLDINGS: June 30 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $17.6 Million
----------------------------------------------------------------
SAN Holdings Inc. reported on Aug. 16, 2007, its results for the
second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

The company's consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007, showed
$12.3 million in total assets, $29.9 million in total liabilities,
resulting in a $17.6 million total stockholders' deficit.

The company's consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007, also
showed strained liquidity with $11.2 million in total current
assets available to pay $24.0 million in total current
liabilities.

The company reported a net loss available to common shareholders
of $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to a net
loss available to common shareholders of $334,000 in the second
quarter 2006.  The second quarter 2007 results included
approximately $2.2 million of non-cash charges related to the
impairment of assets of discontinued operations, resulting from
the sale of its EarthWhere division on Aug. 6, 2007.  All
EarthWhere operations have been reported as discontinued
operations in the second quarter of 2007, which represented a net
loss of $2.8 million for the discontinued EarthWhere division.

For the second quarter of 2007, the company reported revenue of
$11.6 million compared with revenue of $13.5 million in second
quarter of 2006.

"I'm pleased with the progress we made this quarter," said Todd
Oseth, SANZ chairman and chief executive officer.  "Our Solutions
revenue grew 47% over the first quarter revenues of $7.9 million
and we reduced our Solutions operating costs by 3% during the same
period.  In addition, we successfully completed a reverse stock
split, sold our EarthWhere division, and improved our nationwide
sales management team."

"By winning four deals over $300,000 this quarter, which is a 100%
increase over the two $300,000 deals that we won in the first
quarter of 2007, we also proved that SANZ could compete
effectively in this market," said Oseth.  "The sale of our
EarthWhere division further enables us to fully concentrate on
improving our core business operations."

Oseth concluded, "I believe that our second quarter wins, combined
with our emerging solutions driven approach and operational
improvements, will enable us to begin positioning SANZ as the
trusted advisor for proven data access solutions across the
commercial and public sector markets."

statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, are available for

                       Going Concern Doubt

Grant Thornton LLP, in Denver, expressed substantial doubt about
SAN Holdings Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern after
auditing the company's consolidated financial statements as of the
years ended Dec. 31, 2007, and 2005.  The auditing firm reported
that the company has incurred a net loss of $32,957,000 during the
year ended Dec. 31, 2006, and, as of that date, the company has an
accumulated deficit of $72,140,000, negative working capital of
$7,072,000 and no cash on hand.

The company had a net loss of $7.8 million, which included an
impairment of assets of discontinued operations of the EarthWhere
division in the amount of $2.2 million, for the six months ended
June 30, 2007, and, as of June 30, 2007, the company had negative
working capital of $12.8 million.

SANDY CREEK: S&P Rates $1 Billion Credit Facility at BB-
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its preliminary 'BB-'
rating and '2' recovery rating to Sandy Creek Energy Associates
L.P.'s $1 billion first-lien senior secured credit facilities.  
The '2' rating indicates substantial recovery (70% to 90%) of
principal in a default scenario.  A $200 million senior secured
term loan at holding company Sandy Creek Holdings LLC is unrated.

Loan proceeds will be used to build the Sandy Creek Energy
Station, a nominal 900 MW coal-fired power generation plant in
Riesel, Texas.  The unit will dispatch into the Electric
Reliability Council of Texas-North subregion of the ERCOT
interconnect.  The outlook is stable.  The preliminary ratings are
subject to final structure and document review.

SCEA, a Delaware limited partnership, is the special-purpose,
bankruptcy-remote operating entity formed to build, finance, own,
and operate the plant.  LS Power Group and Dynegy Inc. jointly own
the partnership through their affiliates.  The preliminary rating
assumes that SCEA meets Standard & Poor's criteria for special-
purpose entities, including the provision of an independent
director and a nonconsolidation opinion.

The stable outlook reflects our expectations that construction
will progress on schedule and within budget.  Standard & Poor's
expects ratings stability in the near term, as construction
progresses.

"The rating could fall if there are substantial construction
issues, market dynamics in ERCOT deteriorate, or if the facility's
operating performance is weaker than projected," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Aneesh Prabhu.

Ratings could improve if SCEA can execute additional long-term
PPAs, resulting in a greater percentage of capacity under
contract.

SOS REALTY: U.S. Trustee Wants ch. 11 Case Converted or Dismissed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The United States Trustee for Region 1 asks the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Massachusetts to convert SOS Realty
LLC's Chapter 11 case into a Chapter 7 liquidation proceeding, or
in the alternative, dismiss the case.

The Trustee tells the Court that the Debtor failed to:

   a. file its monthly financial report for the period ending
      July 31, 2007; and
  
   b. pay quarterly fees owing to the Trustee for the second
      quarter of 2007.

In addition, the Trustee discloses that administrative proofs of
claim filed with the Court exceed $200,000 and the Debtor owed
its counsel $85,000 as of March 2007.

Furthermore, the Trustee says that the Debtor failed to gain the
Courts confirmation of a meaningful disclosure and a feasible
Chapter 11 plan.

Based in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, SOS Realty LLC owns a
condominium development known as the "Washington Grove
Condominiums."  The company filed for chapter 11 protection on
May 11, 2006 (Bankr. D. Mass. Case No. 06-11381).  Jennifer L.
Hertz, Esq., at Duane Morris LLP, represents the Debtor in its
restructuring efforts.  No Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors has been filed in the Debtor's case.  In its schedules
of assets and liabilities, it listed $12,009,000 in total assets
and $6,734,279 in total liabilities.


STAR GAS: Fitch Lifts Issuer Default Rating to B
------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings upgraded Star Gas Partners, L.P. as:

-- Issuer Default Rating to 'B' from 'B-';

-- Outstanding 10.25% senior unsecured notes due 2013, co-issued
    with its special purpose financing subsidiary Star Gas Finance
    Company, to 'B+/RR3' from 'B/RR3'.

The notes have a Recovery Rating of 'RR3', indicating good
recovery, and the Rating Outlook is Stable.

About $173 million of notes remain outstanding.
The rating upgrades primarily reflect the improved performance of
the heating oil operations, stronger liquidity position and the
benefits of the recapitalization of Star Gas that was completed on
April 28, 2006.

In its rating analysis Fitch considered the improved consolidated
credit metrics resulting from stronger operating performance for
the latest 12 months ended June 30, 2007, an adequate near-term
liquidity position provided under its operating subsidiary,
Petroleum Heat and Power Co., $260 million secured revolving
credit facility, cash balance of $133 million at June 30, 2007,
and management's desire to run a conservatively structured
business that returns to a local-based model.  The rating for the
notes also reflects Star Gas' subordinated position to the Petro
credit facility.

Fitch's Recovery Rating for the outstanding notes, a relative
indicator of creditor recovery on a given obligation in the event
of a default, is unchanged at 'RR3', which indicates an estimated
recovery level of between 50% and 70% in event of a default.

Positive credit factors include:

               Improved Fiscal 2007 Performance

Star Gas has continued to post improving operating results.  For
the LTM Star reported operating EBITDA of $73 million, up from
$56.8 million for fiscal 2006.  Margin expansion partially
mitigated the negative effects of customer attrition.  Total Gross
Debt/EBITDA improved to 2.4x from 6.6x for the 12 months ended
June 30, 2006.  EBITDA/Interest strengthened to 6x from 1.7x in
the prior period.

                       Adequate Liquidity

With $133 million of cash on hand (as of June 30, 2007) and an
untapped $260 million working capital facility ($310 million
during heating season) at Sept. 30, 2007, Star Gas has sufficient
liquidity to meet its operational needs, and fixed payment
obligations as well as sufficient liquidity to manage through
heating oil price volatility.

                   Improved Customer Attrition

As a means of unraveling a failed centralization of customer
service which led to many of the operational issues Star Gas faced
in 2004 and 2005, the company has decentralized its customer
service functions.  Each of Petro's 20 customer service centers is
responsible for customer service, retention, customer acquisition
and pricing, among other key operating functions.  The shift to a
local-based structure has helped to improve customer attrition
from a 7.3% loss in fiscal 2005 to a 5% loss
(as of June 30, 2007).

While the company is still suffering from customer losses, many of
those losses are due to the tightening of customer credit
policies, the shifting from fixed price to variable priced
contracts, and the typical 1% loss due to natural gas conversion.
Fiscal 2007 to date, Star completed six acquisitions totaling
$14.7 million and nearly 18,000 customers.  Adjusted for
acquisitions, net attrition was 0.7% for the LTM.

                      Pricing Improvements

Over the past two years Petro has made efforts to move customers
away from fixed price contracts to capped or ceiling pricing.  
With the bulk of its protected customers on capped pricing, Petro
should benefit from increased pricing flexibility.  Petro reviews
its customer base nightly and hedges its exposure on a daily
basis.  Options settle daily which helps to limit any surprise
exposures to derivative contracts.

                       Management Changes

Star Gas' new management has focused on improving operations and
customer service levels.  With an expressed desire to run a
conservatively structured business and return to a more local-
based operating structure, Star Gas' management seems positioned
to further strengthen performance.

Credit concerns include:

                       Heating Oil Market

The market for heating oil in the northeast has been in a slow
decline for quite some time.  With 1% natural gas conversions and
environmental issues surrounding the use of underground tanks on
residential properties, customer attrition is a way of life.  The
2004-2005 period demonstrates Star Gas' sensitivity to competition
with lower priced suppliers, the overall commodity costs, the
variability of those costs, and pressure from fixed price
contracts.

                            Weather

Even with weather insurance, Star Gas is vulnerable to a warm
winter.  While temporary, warm winters can have a significant
impact on Star Gas' financial condition.

                           Attrition

While there has been some reduction in customer losses over the
past two years, it remains a significant obstacle to Star Gas'
continued operational performance.  Despite the improvements in
customer losses, another significant operational/customer service
error could cause a rapid acceleration of losses.

                 Distributions Resume Fiscal 2009

At the end of Fiscal 2004 the company announced the suspension of
its distribution payments.  As part of its recapitalization, the
company was relieved of its distribution commitments through
Fiscal 2008, which has led to the improved liquidity and
substantial cash position.  While Fitch believes the company will
generate ample operating cash flow and maintain strong cash
balances to support its distribution levels, the company must
continue to demonstrate its ability to operate in a high commodity
cost environment, execute a balanced hedging program, successfully
integrate its acquisitions, and stem customer attrition before
Fitch could consider the commencement of its distributions as
anything but negative.

TABERNA II: Fitch Rates $42.5 Mil. Class F Notes at BB+
-------------------------------------------------------
Fitch placed three classes of notes issued by Taberna Preferred
Funding II, Ltd. on Rating Watch Negative, totaling $84.3 million.  
Taberna II is a collateralized debt obligation backed primarily by
trust preferred securities issued by real estate investment trusts
and homebuilders.  

These rating actions are effective immediately:

-- $29,866,591 class E-1 notes, rated 'BBB', placed on Rating
    Watch Negative;

-- $10,035,175 class E-2 notes, rated 'BBB', placed on Rating
    Watch Negative;

-- $42,500,000 class F notes, rated 'BB+', placed on Rating
    Watch Negative.

Fitch's rating actions reflect the rapid deterioration in the
credit quality of several residential mortgage REITs underlying
the transaction, including one which filed for bankruptcy
protection on Aug. 6, 2007 and a second one which filed for
bankruptcy protection on Aug. 10, 2007.  Uncertain recovery
prospects for these two exposures, in addition to the negative but
evolving credit quality of certain other exposures underlying
Taberna II, increase the likelihood of a rating action with
respect to the transaction's class E-1, E-2 and F notes.

Fitch rates a number of other CDOs backed primarily by trust
preferred securities issued by REITs, finance companies
specializing in mortgage lending and homebuilders.  In most
instances, these transactions also have exposure to issuers which
are experiencing credit deterioration at present.  

However, Fitch does not believe rating actions at this time are
warranted in these instances due to transaction-specific factors
including: the size of the exposures relative to available credit
enhancement; overall portfolio credit quality; or the more senior
nature of the securities held relative to trust preferred
securities.

That said, further credit deterioration in underlying collateral
could expose these transactions to negative rating actions in the
future as well.  Derivative Fitch, in concert with Fitch's REIT,
Financial Institutions and Homebuilder groups will continue to
monitor underlying collateral quality as it evolves.

Fitch notes that CDOs backed solely by trust preferred securities
issued by banks and insurance companies continue to exhibit stable
credit attributes.


TARGUS GROUP: S&P Downgrades Corporate Credit Rating to B-
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Anaheim, Calif- based Targus Group International Inc. to
'B-' from 'B'.

In addition, Standard & Poor's affirmed the 'B' ratings on Targus'
$40 million senior secured revolving credit facility due 2011 and
$190 million term loan B due 2012; the recovery ratings remain
'2', indicating the expectation of substantial (70%-90%) recovery
in the event of a payment default.

Standard & Poor's also affirmed the 'CCC+' rating on the company's
$85 million second-lien term loan maturing in 2013; the recovery
rating remains '5', indicating the expectation of modest (10%-30%)
recovery in the event of a payment default.

Standard & Poor's removed all ratings from CreditWatch with
negative implications, where they were placed on May 23, 2007,
reflecting our concerns about weaker-than-expected working capital
management and tight covenant cushion. The outlook is negative.  
Targus has about $300 million in outstanding debt on its balance
sheet, including $31.2 million payment-in-kind notes
maturing 2013.

"The downgrade reflects the company's weak cash flow generation
over the last 12 months, very highly leveraged capital structure,
and expected tight cushion on its bank loan financial covenants
over the coming quarters," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Christopher Johnson.

The ratings on Targus reflect the company's very highly leveraged
capital structure; the highly competitive operating environment
and price-sensitive nature of the laptop computer case and
accessory business; technology risk within the accessories product
line; some customer concentration across the three distribution
channels, and vulnerability to weak economic and retail
environments.

TRUE TEMPER: S&P Junks Corporate Credit Rating
----------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on Memphis,
Tenn.-based golf shaft manufacturer True Temper Sports Inc.,
including its corporate credit rating to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.

S&P also placed the ratings on CreditWatch with negative
implications.  Total debt outstanding at True Temper Sports at
July 1, 2007, was about $261 million.

"The rating actions reflect weaker-than-expected performance, as
well as the company's very limited liquidity," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Kenneth Shea.

Sales, which included the June 8, 2006, acquisition of Royal
Precision's assets, were essentially flat for the six months ended
July 1, 2007, compared to the same period in the prior year, due
to weak graphite product volumes.  Moreover, higher nickel and
employee health costs and delays in integrating Royal Precision's
production processes resulted in adjusted EBITDA declining about
10% during the same timeframe.  As a result, credit measures
weakened significantly.  For the 12 months ended July 1, 2007, S&P
estimates that pro forma debt to EBITDA was about 12x.

In addition, S&P are concerned about the company's liquidity
position.  At July 1, 2007, True Temper Sports had about
$15 million available on its $20 million credit facility,
following a $1.7 million equity infusion by its sponsor.  However,
the company's covenant cushion was very tight, and it will likely
need to seek a waiver and request future covenant relief from its
lenders if its operating performance does not improve.

S&P will review the company's operating and financial plans with
management, as well as monitor the company's liquidity status and
its ability to comply with or amend its bank financial covenants
in order to assess the implications for the ratings.


US ONCOLOGY: S&P Puts B+ Corporate Credit Rating on Negative Watch
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its ratings on US
Oncology Inc., including the 'B+' corporate credit rating, on
CreditWatch with negative implications.

"The action reflects the cancer treatment company's expectations
that EBITDA for fiscal 2007 will range between $200 million and
$210 million," explained Standard & Poor's credit analyst Cheryl
Richer.

Debt, adjusted for operating leases, was $1.8 billion at
June 30, 2007.  With no change in debt, debt to EBITDA would be
more than 8x for 2007 compared with Standard & Poor's expectation
that debt leverage would remain less than 7x.  The company's
financial profile, which has already weakened over the past
several quarters due to a $425 million debt issuance in
March 2007 and amendments to management services agreements, will
be further stretched as a result of regulatory actions that are
expected to lead to a significant decline in the use of
erythropoiesis-stimulating agents by oncologists.   

The speculative-grade ratings on US Oncology Inc. reflect its
narrow operating focus on the treatment of a single disease, its
vulnerability to adverse changes in third-party reimbursement
policies, the change in treatment modalities, and its significant
debt.  These factors are partially mitigated by rising long-term
demand trends, the company's broad geographic presence, and
its proven ability to manage growth and attract and retain
oncologists.

For the first six months of 2007, pharmaceutical sales represented
about 70% of US Oncology's revenues.  As a result of certain
studies and subsequent FDA warnings, the company experienced a
decline in the use of ESAs in the second
quarter of 2007.  In addition, on July 30, 2007, the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services issued a national coverage decision
that will reduce usage significantly beyond the FDA warning and
materially affect 2007 performance.

Medicare and Medicaid payments accounted for 38% of 2006 net
patient revenues.  It is still uncertain to what degree managed
care payors will follow suit.  Debt increased by $175 million
incrementally as a result of the issuance of $425 million senior
unsecured floating-rate payment-in-kind toggle notes in
March 2007, a portion of which funded a sponsor dividend.  

New center openings and recently executed contracts with
physicians continue to improve revenue growth, and average selling
prices appear to have stabilized.  However, ESA-related
reimbursement pressures combined with a large debt burden may
result in a downgrade.  Standard & Poor's will meet with
management to review the company's ability to offset margin
pressures and reduce leverage.


VERTRUE INC: S&P Lowers Corporate Credit Rating to B
----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Vertrue Inc. to 'B' from 'B+', and removed the rating
from CreditWatch, where it was placed with negative implications
on March 22, 2007.  The outlook is stable.

At the same time, we affirmed the issue ratings on Vertrue's $660
million senior secured facilities.  S&P also removed from
CreditWatch and withdrew the rating on the company's $150 million
9.25% senior notes due 2014, which were redeemed with the closing
of the transaction.  The 'B-' rating on Vertrue's $90 million 5.5%
senior subordinated notes due 2010 remains on CreditWatch with
negative implications pending further information regarding the
notes' redemption.

"The downgrade reflects the increase in financial risk resulting
from the company's leveraged acquisition by a group of private-
equity sponsors," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Deborah
Kinzer.

The sponsors are One Equity Partners, Rho Ventures, and Brencourt
Advisors LLC.

The ratings on Vertrue reflect some customer concentration risk,
the competitive and fragmented online personal-ads market, and an
acquisition-oriented growth strategy.  These factors are only
partially offset by the company's good market position in niche
consumer discount membership programs and its good recurring
revenue stream from renewals.

The $460 million first-lien bank loan is rated 'B+' (one notch
above the 'B' corporate credit rating), with a recovery rating of
'2', indicating our expectation of substantial (70%-90%) recovery
in the event of a payment default.  The first-lien facility
consists of a $30 million revolving credit facility due 2013 and a
$430 million term loan due 2014.  The $200 million second-lien
term loan due 2015 is rated 'CCC+' (two notches below the
corporate credit rating), with a recovery rating of '6',
indicating our expectation of negligible (0%-10%) recovery in the
event of a payment default.


VERTRUE INC: Notes Redemption Cues Moody's to Withdraw Ratings
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service withdrew Vertrue Incorporated's ratings
following the recent redemption of its $148 million senior
unsecured notes due 2014 and recent completion of its acquisition
by Vertrue's management and investor group consisting of One
Equity Partners, Rho Ventures and Brencourt Advisors.  This is
consistent with Moody's press release dated June 25, 2007 wherein
Moody's stated that Vertrue's existing ratings would be withdrawn
at the close of the transaction.

These ratings were withdrawn:

-- B1 Corporate Family Rating;
-- B1 Probability of Default Rating;
-- SGL-1 Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating; and
-- Ba3 (LGD3/42%) rating on $148 million Senior Unsecured Notes
    due 2014.

Headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, Vertrue Incorporated is a
leading Internet marketing services company.  For the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2007, the company reported revenues of about
$755 million.  On Aug. 16, 2007, Vertrue was acquired by Velo
Acquisition, Inc. (B2/Stable).


WCI COMMUNITIES: Obtains Waiver from Rev. Credit Facility Lenders
-----------------------------------------------------------------
WCI Communities Inc. has reached an agreement with its lenders to
amend the company's Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan
Agreement, and Tower Facility, on Aug. 17, 2007.  The amendments
are intended to provide for greater operational flexibility in the
current market environment.  The amendments provide for:

   -- a waiver or consent to any default arising from certain
      changes in the composition of WCI's board of directors;

   -- adjust the pricing of the loans under the facilities;

   -- provide for certain commitment reductions;

   -- provide collateral for the loans;

   -- adjust certain financial coverage ratios and other
      covenants; and

   -- make certain other modifications.

The company's borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit
Facility was reduced from $850 million to $700 million, with
subsequent reductions to $600 million on July 1, 2008, and to

WHOLE FOODS: FTC Says It Is Reviewing Options to Stop Merger Deal
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Federal Trade Commission Competition Director Jeffrey Schmidt
expressed regret at a federal district court decision regarding a
proposed merger between Whole Foods Market Inc. and Wild Oats
Markets Inc., calling it a loss for both consumers and
competition.

On Aug. 16, 2007, the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia denied the FTC's request for a preliminary injunction
related to the proposed merger.

"We respect the Court's decision, which we currently are
reviewing.  We brought this challenge because the evidence before
us showed that the merger would most likely result in higher
prices and reduced choices for consumers who shop at premium
natural and organic supermarkets," Mr. Schmidt said.  "We are
reviewing our options."

On June 5, 2007, the FTC authorized its staff to seek a federal
district court order to prevent Whole Foods from acquiring Wild
Oats.  The FTC argued in court in Washington, DC, on July 31 and
August 1, 2007, that the merger would violate federal antitrust
laws by substantially reducing competition in the market for
premium natural and organic supermarkets in several geographic
areas throughout the United States.  The federal district court
decision allows the transaction to proceed, pending the FTC's
filing of a request for emergency stay with the district and
appellate courts prior to its appeal being heard.  The Commission
also has authorized the staff to act on its administrative
complaint to permanently enjoin the merger.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on May 1, 2007,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that while the ratings on
Whole Foods Market Inc., including the 'BBB-' corporate credit
rating, currently remain on CreditWatch with negative
implications, where they were placed on Feb. 22, 2007, S&P will
lower the corporate credit rating to 'BB+' from 'BBB-' upon
closure of its acquisition of Wild Oats Inc.  At this time,
ratings will also be removed from CreditWatch.  The outlook will
be stable.

ZIM CORP: Posts $97,397 Net Loss in First Quarter Ended June 30

decrease from $705,797 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.   
ZIM's decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to the decline
in revenue from the company's SMS aggregation services caused by
the continued saturation of the aggregation market.

continue to pursue opportunities related to our Internet TV and

* S&P Lifts Ratings on 10 Classes of Securities from 5 GSR Deals
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its ratings on 10
classes of mortgage-backed securities from five GSR Mortgage Loan
Trust transactions.

Concurrently, S&P lowered the ratings on nine classes from five
series and placed the rating on one class from another series on
CreditWatch with negative implications.  Additionally, S&P
affirmed the ratings on all other outstanding classes from 46
transactions from the same issuer.

The upgrades reflect increased current and projected credit
support percentages that are sufficient to support the higher
ratings, as well as low realized losses.  The increased credit
support percentages are the result of significant principal
prepayments and the shifting-interest payment structure
of the transactions.  Furthermore, all series with raised ratings
have outstanding pool balances that are less than 49.38% of their
original size.  Cumulative losses have been less than 4 basis
points for the upgraded transactions.

S&P lowered the rating on class B-5 from series 2004-13F to 'D'
because of a $125,776.86 principle write-down.  The other
downgrades resulted from the high percentage of properties in
foreclosure and REO in the collateral pools.  Nonetheless,
realized losses to date have been minimal for these four series.
Total delinquencies ranged from 1.03% (series 2005-8F) to 9.98%
(series 2004-14) of the current pool balances.  The pool balances
ranged from 11.09% (series 2004-14) to 83.19% (series 2005-8F) of
their original size as of the July 25, 2007, payment date.

S&P placed the rating on class B-5 from series 2005-AR5 on
CreditWatch with negative implications because of a reduction in
projected credit support to significantly below the original level
due to increasing delinquencies.  Standard & Poor's will closely
monitor the performance of this class.  If the collateral
performance improves, S&P will affirm the rating and remove it
from CreditWatch.  Conversely, if delinquencies translate into
losses and erode credit support, S&P will take further negative
rating actions on this class.

The rating affirmations reflect actual and projected credit
enhancement percentages that are sufficient to support the current
ratings.  The mortgage pools backing the classes with affirmed
ratings had total delinquencies ranging from 0% (various series)
to 9.98% (series 2004-14).  Lastly, all series with affirmed
ratings have experienced low or no realized losses.

Credit support for the transactions is provided by a senior-
subordinate structure.  The collateral backing the certificates
originally consisted of 15- to 30-year prime fixed- and
adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family
residential properties.

                              *********

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.  Prices are
obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources during
the prior week we think are reliable.  Those sources may not,
however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday Bond Pricing table
is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.  Prices reported
are not intended to reflect actual trades.  Prices for actual
trades are probably different.  Our objective is to share
information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or
sell any security of any kind.  It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers'
public debt and equity securities about which we report.

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $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
Wednesday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com/

On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed chapter 11
cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and liabilities
delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts.  The list includes links
to freely downloadable images of these small-dollar petitions in
Acrobat PDF format.

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com.  Go to
http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today.

Monthly Operating Reports are summarized in every Saturday edition
of the TCR.

For copies of court documents filed in the District of Delaware,
please contact Vito at Parcels, Inc., at 302-658-9911.  For
bankruptcy documents filed in cases pending outside the District
of Delaware, contact Ken Troubh at Nationwide Research &
Consulting at 207/791-2852.
