AFC ENTERPRISES: July 13 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $44.8MM
-------------------------------------------------------------
AFC Enterprises Inc.'s consolidated balance sheet at July 13,
2008, showed $145.2 million in total assets, and $190.0 million in
total liabilities, resulting in a $44.8 million shareholders'
deficit.

At July 13, 2008, the company's consolidated balance sheet also
showed strained liquidity with $42.9 million in total current
assets available to pay $53.2 million in total current
liabilities.

Net income was $6.6 million for the fiscal second quarter ended
July 13, 2008, compared to $6.6 million last year.  

Total system-wide sales increased by 1.5 percent.  This increase
in system-wide sales was comprised of a 1.4 percent increase in
franchisee restaurant sales to $387.4 million (which are not
recorded as revenue by the company), and a 3.9 percent increase in
company-operated restaurant sales to $18.8 million.

Total domestic same-store sales decreased 1.7 percent compared to
a decrease of 2.1 percent last year, and total global same-store
sales decreased 1.4 percent compared to a decrease of 1.7 percent
last year.  Same-store sales performance continues to be impacted
by lower transactions as traffic continues to slow due to
challenges in the economy and to industry-wide pricing increases
to offset rising commodity costs.

Total revenues were $39.3 million, compared to $38.3 million last
year.  This increase was comprised of approximately $800,000 from
new openings of company-operated restaurants in the Atlanta and
Tennessee markets, $600,000 from the timing of temporary
restaurant closures primarily in New Orleans, and $700,000
primarily from royalties and fees from new franchised restaurants,
partially offset by a $900,000 decrease in same-store sales.

Company-operated restaurant expenses for food, beverages and
packaging as a percentage of sales were 35 percent compared to 34
percent last year, increasing primarily due to commodity costs for
chicken, wheat and shortening.  Restaurant employee, occupancy and
other expenses as a percentage of sales were 53 percent compared
to 51 percent last year, increasing primarily due to utilities and
insurance related reserves.

General and administrative expenses were $12.0 million, or 3.0
percent of system-wide sales, compared to $9.5 million, or 2.4
percent of system-wide sales last year.  This increase was due
primarily to costs of new management talent and non-recurring
marketing and menu professional fees.

Other income was $3.8 million, which includes a net favorable
settlement of a $12.3 million related to a director and officers
insurance claim and an $8.1 million impairment charge associated
with the the negotiation of definitive agreements to refranchise
and sell company-operated restaurant assets in Atlanta, Georgia
and Nashville, Tennessee.

Second quarter year-to-date EBITDA was $29.9 million, including
$5.1 million for other non-operating income, at a margin of
32.3 percent of total revenues, compared to last year's EBITDA of
$29.4 million, at a margin of 32.9 percent.  

Operating profit was $12.9 million, compared to $12.7 million last
year.

Income tax expense was $4.4 million, an effective tax rate of 40.0
percent, compared to an effective tax rate of 38.3 percent last
year.

Cheryl Bachelder, AFC chief executive officer, stated, "We were
pleased with our earnings performance for the second quarter.  Our
same-store sales continue to be impacted by the current economic
environment; however, we believe our marketing and messaging
helped us during the quarter as our comparable sales performance
continued to outpace the chicken QSR segment.  As we move into the
second half of this year, we are excited to be rolling-out three
new menu platforms designed to generate incremental sales with a
focus on portability, value, and lunch occasions."

The company said its second quarter year-to-date free cash flow
remains strong at $16.8 million, including $5.1 million for other
non-operating income, compared to $15.4 million last year.  

The company recorded an additional $2.3 million payment for the
final installment related to the company's previously announced
accelerated stock repurchase program which was completed on
July 7, 2008.  Second quarter year-to-date, the company
repurchased 2.1 million shares of common stock for $18.9 million.
Under the terms of its current credit facility, the company has
the ability to repurchase an additional $19.3 million of shares
during fiscal year 2008.  As of Aug. 8, 2008, there were
approximately 25.2 million shares of the company's common stock
outstanding.

Effective June 30, 2008, through June 30, 2010, the company
entered into an interest rate swap agreement on an amount of
$100.0 million.  The effect of the agreement is to limit interest
rate exposure on this portion of the 2005 Credit Facility to a
fixed rate of 4.87 percent, compared to 6.40 percent on the
previous interest rate swap agreement.

The Popeyes system opened 32 new restaurants, including 17 units
domestically and 15 units internationally, compared to 24 new
restaurants last year, and reported 31 permanent restaurant
closures.

On a system-wide basis, Popeyes had 1,901 units operating at the
end of the second quarter, compared to 1,878 units last year.
Total unit count was comprised of 1,576 domestic units and 325
international units in 25 foreign countries and two territories.
Of this total, 1,834 were franchised and 67 were company-operated
restaurants.

statements for the quarter ended July 13, 2008, are available for

AMERICAN COLOR: Can Hire AlixPartners as Restructuring Advisors
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware gave
authority to ACG Holdings, Inc., and its debtor-affiliates to
employ AlixPartners, LLC, as their restructuring advisors.

As previously reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug.
12, 2008, the Debtors sought authority from the Court to employ
AlixPertners.

As restructuring advisors, AlixPartners is expected to assist the
Debtors in:

  (a) working with their other advisors' senior management and
      employees to provide financial consulting services and
      restructuring advice;

  (b) managing their bankruptcy process through working and
      coordinating with other professionals who represent their
      stakeholders;

  (c) developing short-term cash flow forecasting tool and
      related methodologies, and in planning for alternatives,
      as the ACG Debtors may request;

  (d) developing an actual-to-forecast variance reporting
      mechanism, including written explanations of key
      differences;

  (e) reconciling, managing and negotiating claims; determining
      and collecting preferences; and managing documents and
      preserving electronic data;

  (f) obtaining and presenting information required by parties-
      in-interest in the ACG Debtors' cases, including the
      Court and the official committees it appoints;

  (g) the confirmation of the ACG Debtors' joint prepackaged
      plans of reorganization with Vertis Holdings, Inc., and
      its debtor affiliates;

  (h) providing testimony before the Court, as necessary; and

  (i) certain matters as the ACG Debtors may request.

AlixPartners has advised the Debtors that its services will not be
duplicative of the services rendered by other professionals.  
AlixPartners will coordinate with Lehman Brothers, Inc., the
Debtors' financial advisor, to avoid duplication of their work.

AlixPartners will be paid for its services according to these
hourly rates:

        Managing Directors        $680 - $850
        Directors                 $485 - $650
        Vice Presidents           $330 - $480
        Associates                $280 - $340
        Analysts                  $230 - $250
        Paraprofessionals         $170 - $200

AlixPartners will also bill the Debtors for reasonable out-of-
pocket expenses that it incurred or may incur in relation to
the contemplated services it is to render.  

AlixPartners reserves the right to seek a restructuring fee from
the ACG Debtors.  However, the firm agrees that it will not seek
the Fee in the event that:

  -- a merger or other business combination with the Vertis
     Debtors occurs; or

  -- a transfer of the majority of voting control of the Debtors
     to (i) parties to the Debtors' first lien revolving and term
     loan facilities; and (ii) the holders of the Debtors' 10%
     Senior Secured Notes due in 2010.

ACG Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and  
Secretary Patrick W. Kellick, discloses that the Debtors have paid
AlixPartners a $175,000 retainer, $120,258 of which is available
to be held by the firm and applied against fees and expenses
remaining at the end of the engagement.

According to the Debtors' books and records, AlixPartners also
received $308,617 as prepetition payment for assisting the Debtors
with respect to preparations for their Chapter 11 cases.

AlixPartners says it may periodically use independent contractors
with specialized skills and abilities to assist in their
engagement with the Debtors.  Consequently, AlixPartners will
file, and require the independent contractor to file, affidavits
indicating the disinterestedness of those contractors.  The
contractors should also (i) remain disinterested during the time
that AlixPartners renders services on behalf of the Debtors, and
(i) must not work for, while Alix Partners provides services
to, the Debtors.

The Debtors agree to indemnify AlixPartners from and against
all liabilities in connection with the firm's engagement.  Thus,
the Debtors ask the Court to approve the provisions under the
Engagement Letter.

Brian J. Fox, a director of AlixPartners, assures the Court that
his firm is a "disinterested person" as that term is defined in
Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

AMERICAN HOME: Declining Market Prompts Moody's to Review Ratings
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed on review the ratings of twelve
tranches from two American Home Mortgage transactions issued in
2007.  The collateral backing these transactions consists
primarily of first lien adjustable-rate and fixed-rate "scratch
and dent" mortgage loans.

Complete rating actions are:

Issuer: American Home Mortgage Investment Trust 2007-SD1

  -- Cl. IV-A, Current rating Aaa, on review for possible
     downgrade

  -- Cl. IV-M-1, Current rating Aa2, on review for possible
     downgrade

  -- Cl. IV-M-2, Current rating A2, on review for possible
     downgrade

  -- Cl. IV-M-3, Current rating Baa2, on review for possible
     downgrade

  -- Cl. IV-M-4, Current rating Ba2, on review for possible
     downgrade

  -- Cl. IV-M-5, Current rating B2, on review for possible
     downgrade

Issuer: American Home Mortgage Assets Trust 2007-SD2

  -- Cl. A, Current rating Aaa, on review for possible downgrade
  -- Cl. M-1, Current rating Aa2, on review for possible downgrade
  -- Cl. M-2, Current rating A2, on review for possible downgrade

     downgrade
  -- Cl. M-4, Current rating Ba2, on review for possible downgrade
  -- Cl. M-5, Current rating B2, on review for possible downgrade

The actions are part of an ongoing, wider review of all RMBS
transactions, in light of the deteriorating housing market and
rising delinquencies and foreclosures.  Many "scratch and dent"
pools originated since 2004 are exhibiting higher than expected
rates of delinquency, foreclosure, and REO.  The rating
adjustments will vary based on level of credit enhancement,
collateral characteristics, pool-specific historical performance,
quarter of origination, and other qualitative factors.

          Going Concern Disclaimer/Possible Bankruptcy

Gumbiner Savett Inc. in Santa Monica, Calif., expressed
substantial doubt about Artistdirect Inc.'s ability to continue as
a going concern after auditing the company's consolidated
financial statements for the years ended Dec. 31, 2007, and 2006.
The auditing firm said that the company is in default under its
senior and subordinated debt agreements.

During 2007 and 2008, the company entered into a series of
forbearance agreements with the investors in the senior notes with
respect to these defaults.

On Feb. 7, 2008, the company retained the services of Salem
Partners LLC to serve as a financial advisor to the company in
connection with the sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization or
other business combination and the restructuring of the material
terms of the company's senior notes and/or subordinated
convertible notes.  

To the extent that the company is unable to complete a sale or
merger or restructure its senior and subordinated debt obligations
in a satisfactory manner or the lenders begin to exercise
additional remedies to enforce their rights, the company said it
will not have sufficient cash resources to maintain its
operations.  In such event, the company may be required to
consider a formal or informal restructuring or reorganization,
including a filing under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code.

sale saying it won't benefit them but "amounts to a foreclosure by
the secured creditor."

The Troubled Company Reporter said on Aug. 6, 2008, that in
conjunction with the Debtors' bankruptcy filing, they are seeking
a buyer for the business as a going concern.  The Debtors are in
talks with prospective buyers and expects to complete a sale by

expect that the sale will result in any recovery to common
stockholders.

The issuer disclosed noteholder approval of an amendment removing
Fitch as a rating agency from certain documents of the
transaction. As a result of this amendment, Fitch does not expect
to receive future reporting for this transaction.

Fitch's policy on withdrawing ratings is to take into
consideration whether it has access to sufficient information in
assessing the credit quality of the notes.  If Fitch decides to
cease providing ratings, it will withdraw the ratings using the
most current methodology and opinion on the credit risk of the
notes.  In this case, Fitch has decided to withdraw its ratings on
these notes.

Fitch released its updated criteria for corporate CDOs on
April 30, 2008.

22.8% of the portfolio is comprised of 2005, 2006 and 2007 vintage
U.S. subprime RMBS, and 7.9% consists of 2005, 2006 and 2007
vintage U.S. SF CDOs.

Since Nov. 21, 2007, approximately 45.0% of the portfolio has been
downgraded with 11.7% of the portfolio currently on Rating Watch
Negative. Additionally, 41.0% of the portfolio is now rated below
investment grade, of which 23.9% of the portfolio is rated 'CCC+'
and below.  Overall, 30.6% of the assets in the portfolio now
carry a rating below the rating assumed in Fitch's November 2007
review.

The collateral deterioration has caused each of the
overcollateralization ratios to fall below 100% and fail their
respective tests.  As of the trustee report dated June 30, 2008,
the class A/B OC ratio was 86.1%, relative to its trigger of
107.9%.  The class C, D-1 and D-2 notes have been paying in kind,
whereby the principal balance of the notes are written up by the
amount of missed interest, since December 2007.  Based on the
projected performance of the portfolio, Fitch does not expect the
C, D-1, D-2 and combination notes to receive any interest or
principal proceeds going forward.

The ratings of the class A-1, A-2 and B notes address the timely
receipt of scheduled interest payments and the ultimate receipt of
principal as per the transaction's governing documents.  The
ratings of the class C, D-1, and D-2 notes address the ultimate
receipt of interest payments and ultimate receipt of principal as
per the transaction's governing documents.  The rating of the
combination securities addresses the likelihood that investors
will receive the combination security notional balance, well as
ultimate payments resulting in a 2% coupon.

Fitch is reviewing its SF CDO approach and will comment separately
on any changes and potential rating impact at a later date.  Fitch
will continue to monitor and review this transaction for future
rating adjustments.

CGCMT 2007: Fitch Affirms B- Rating on $5.9 Million Class Q Cert.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch has affirmed CGCMT 2007-C6 Mortgage Trust, commercial
mortgage pass-through certificates, as:

  -- $148.1 million class at A-1 'AAA';
  -- $259.0 million class A-2 at 'AAA';
  -- $387.0 million class A-3 at 'AAA';
  -- $126.3 million class A-3B at 'AAA';
  -- $140.0 million class A-SB at 'AAA';
  -- $1.573 billion class A-4 'AAA';
  -- $200.0 million class A-4FL at 'AAA';
  -- $488.1 million class A-1A at 'AAA';
  -- $425.6 million class A-M at 'AAA';
  -- $50.0 million class A-MFL at 'AAA';
  -- $248.3 billion class A-J at 'AAA';
  -- $150.0 million class A-JFL at 'AAA';
  -- Interest-only class X at 'AAA';
  -- $23.8 million class B at 'AA+;
  -- $71.3 million class C at 'AA';
  -- $35.7 million class D at 'AA-';
  -- $29.7 million class E at 'A+';
  -- $35.7 million class F at 'A';
  -- $47.6 million class G at 'A-';
  -- $53.5 million class H at 'BBB+';
  -- $65.4 million class J at 'BBB';
  -- $53.5 million class K at 'BBB-';
  -- $11.9 million class L at 'BB+';
  -- $11.9 million class M at 'BB';
  -- $17.8 million class N at 'BB-';
  -- $11.9 million class O at 'B+';
  -- $5.9 million class P at 'B';
  -- $5.9 million class Q at 'B-'.

Fitch does not rate the $71.3 million class S certificates.

The affirmations reflect limited scheduled amortization and stable
performance since issuance.  As of the July 2008 distribution date
the transaction's outstanding principal balance has been reduced
by 0.2% to $4.75 billion from $4.76 billion at issuance.

Two loans, representing 0.2% of the pool, are currently in special
servicing.  The first loan (0.17%) is collateralized by an
extended stay hotel in Pensacola, Florida.  The property had been
a major provider of off-base housing for the military until
August 2007, when the Navy notified the borrower that it had
sufficient on-base housing.  Losses are likely, but they are
expected to be minimal and not impact credit enhancement.

The second specially serviced loan (0.04%) is secured by a retail
center in Arlington, Texas.  The loan was transferred to the
special servicer due to the borrower failing to make debt payments
for the months of June and July.  Losses are likely, but they are
not expected to impact credit enhancement given the loan's size
relative to the trust.

Fitch reviewed year-end 2007 operating statement analysis reports
for the transaction's three shadow rated loans (3.9%): Ala Moana
Portfolio (2.1%), IAC - CA & WA Industrial Portfolio (1%), and IAC
- OR Industrial Portfolio (0.7%).  The loans are performing as
expected and maintain their investment grade shadow ratings.

The largest shadow rated loan, Ala Moana Portfolio (2.1%), is
secured by the fee interest in a 1.9 million sf retail and office
development in Honolulu, Hawaii.  Ala Moana Center is one of the
most productive retail assets in the nation, with sales for in-
line tenants consistently exceeding $1,000 per square foot.  The
retail portion of the collateral is occupied by nearly
275 tenants, while the office portion is occupied by 184 tenants.
The mall is sponsored and operated by General Growth Properties.
Occupancy as of December 2007 was 94%, inline with 93.5% at
issuance.


CHARYS HOLDING: Files Joint Plan of Reorganization w/ Non-debtors
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Charys Holding Company, Inc. and Crochet & Borel Services, Inc.,  
along with their non-debtor affiliates, Complete Tower Sources,
Inc., LFC, Inc., Mitchell Site Acq., Inc., and Cotton Commercial
USA, Inc., filed the Joint Plan of Reorganization of Debtors and
Certain Non-debtor Affiliates under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware
on August 4, 2008.

The Plan is being jointly proposed by the Debtors and the
Affiliated Plan Proponents.  As such, in addition to the claims
and interests of the creditors and equity security holders of the
Debtors, the Plan also addresses the claims of the holders of the
8.75% Senior Convertible Notes against the Affiliated Plan
Proponents which have guaranteed such claims.  

The Plan provides for the creation of a new holding company which,
following certain restructuring transactions described in the
Plan, will hold virtually all of the common stock of each of the
Affiliated Plan Proponents.  Upon consummation of the Plan, the
equity interests in New Holdco will be held by the holders of the
8.75% Senior Convertible Notes (in the outstanding amount of
approximately $210 million as of the Commencement Date), the
holders of similar notes issued by Charys Holding (in the
outstanding amount of approximately $8 million as of' the
Commencement Date), and by the Charys Liquidating Trust.  

Additionally, New Holdco will issue new secured notes to the
holders of the 8.75% Senior Convertible Notes and the Mirror
Notes.  The New Secured Notes will have an aggregate face amount
of $20 million, pay interest at a rate of 15% per annum, and
mature four years from issuance.

Pursuant to the Plan, all assets of Charys Holding, including the
equity interests in the Affiliated Plan Proponents received by
Charys Holding on account of certain intercompany claims (which
would be exchanged for approximately 6% of the outstanding equity
interests in New Holdco), will he transferred to a liquidating
trust for the benefit of the creditors of Charys Holding.  

Other than the equity interests in New Holdco, these assets
consist primarily of potential litigation claims that Charys
Holding’s estate holds against third parties.  The holders of
Subordinated Debt Claims against Charys Holding and holders of
existing stock of Charys Holding will receive no distribution
pursuant to the Plan on account of their claims or interests, and
such claims and interests will be extinguished under the Plan.

All assets of C&B will be transferred to a liquidating trust for
the benefit of the creditors of C&B.  The holders of the 8.75%
Senior Convertible Notes are waiving their right to share, with
holders of general unsecured claims against C&B, in the
distributions from the C&B Liquidating Trust.  The assets of the
C&B Liquidating Trust will consist primarily of outstanding
accounts receivable of C&B.  The holders of the 8.75% Senior
Convertible Notes will receive no distribution from C&B or the C&B
Liquidating Trust on account of their claims.  

There are various claims which are secured by or otherwise have
prior interests in the accounts receivable of C&B and such claims
are to be paid before any distribution will he made from the C&B
Liquidating Trust to holders of general unsecured claims against
C&B.

The following is a brief summary of the proposed distributions to
be made under the Plan to the various classes of claims and equity
interests.

  -- Administrative expense claims and other claims entitled to
     priority in payment under the Bankruptcy Code largely will he
     paid in full.

  -- Any secured claim against Charys Holding or C&B will be paid
     in full or receive the proceeds of the collateral securing
     such claim.

  -- The claims against Charys Holding (other than the Mirror
     Notes) held by the sellers of certain businesses to Charys
     Holding consisting of what is now CTSI, MSAI and Cotton, will
     enter into settlement agreements with Charys Holding pursuant
     to which the parties will mutually release claims and new
     employment agreements will be entered into.

  -- The holders of the 8.75% Senior Convertible Notes issued by
     Charys Holding and the holders of the Mirror Notes will
     receive (a) approximately 94% of the equity interests in New
     Holdco, and (b) the New Secured Notes.

  -- Holders of general unsecured claims against Charys Holding
     (including holders of the 8.75% Senior Convertible Notes and
     Mirror Notes) will receive on a pro rata basis, distributions
     from the Charys Liquidating Trust from proceeds of assets not
     subject to liens or security interests, after all prior
     claims against the Charys Liquidating Trust have been paid.

  -- Holders of Claims against Charys Holding which are
     subordinated in right of payment to other claims will receive
     no distribution under the Plan.

  -- Existing equity interests in Charys Holding will receive no
     distribution under the Plan and will be cancelled.

  -- Holders of general unsecured claims against C&B will receive
     on a pro rata basis, distributions from the C&B Liquidating
     Trust from proceeds of assets not subject to liens or
     security interests, after all prior claims against the C&B
     Liquidating Trust have been paid.

  -- Existing equity interests in C&B will receive no distribution
     and will he cancelled.

A hearing to consider approval of the proposed Disclosure
Statement in respect of the Plan is currently scheduled before the
Court on September 15, 2007.  A hearing to consider confirmation
of the Plan has not yet been scheduled.

CHARYS HOLDING: Can Use Cash Collateral to Pay Off Expired Claims
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware signed off
on an agreement allowing Charys Holding Co. Inc. to use
$8.3 million in cash collateral to pay back some of its
noteholders' expired claims, ABIWorld says, citing a report from
Bankruptcy Law360.

Under the agreement, Charys will use proceeds from the sale of
several cell phone towers in order to pay off expired promissory
notes to Imperium Master Fund Ltd., Jed Family Trust and John
Michaelson, according to the report.  The Debtor's subsidiary,
Ayin Tower Management Services Inc., sold the cell phone towers
and related assets to Crown Communications Inc. for approximately
$14 million.  The agreement relates that $5.39 million of that
sale that was placed into escrow will be used to pay Imperium and
the other noteholders.

The bankrupt company agreed to pay back the remainder of those
noteholder debts by Nov. 15, according to the agreement.

CITADEL BROADCASTING: Moody's Rates $2.3 Bil. Senior Loans Ba3
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Citadel Broadcasting
Corporation's Corporate Family Rating and Probability of Default
rating to B1 from Ba3.  In addition, Moody's downgraded the
company's senior secured credit facility to B1 from Ba3 and
Citadel's Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating to SGL-3 from SGL-1.  
All ratings remain under review for further possible downgrade.

Moody's took these ratings actions:

Citadel Broadcasting Corporation

Corporate Family Rating
  
  -- downgraded to B1 from Ba3, RUR

  Probability-of-Default rating

  -- downgraded to B1 from Ba3, RUR

  $200 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

  -- downgraded to B1 from Ba3 (to LGD 3, 46% from LGD 3, 43%),
     RUR

  $600 million Senior Secured Tranche A Term Loan

  -- downgraded to B1 from Ba3 (to LGD 3, 46% from LGD 3, 43%),
     RUR

  $1.535 billion Senior Secured Tranche B Term Loan

  -- downgraded to B1 from Ba3 (to LGD 3, 46% from LGD 3, 43%),
     RUR

  Speculative grade liquidity assessment

  -- downgraded to SGL-3 from SGL-1

The ratings downgrade was prompted by on-going weakness in the
company's operating performance as the company's revenue and
EBITDA have been pressured by internal operating challenges and an
increasingly difficult economic and radio advertising environment.
The year-on-year revenue declines have resulted in weak credit
metrics, including high debt-to-EBITDA leverage of 7.95x at June
30, 2008.  While Citadel has continued to apply free cash flow to
reduce debt, the declines in its EBITDA have prevented any
progress in de-leveraging.

In Moody's view, the company is unlikely to achieve the 6.0x
leverage target over the next 18-24 months that had been factored
into the Ba3 rating.  In addition, Moody's believes that Citadel's
margin of covenant compliance will narrow considerably when the
leverage covenant steps down in fourth quarter 2008, which was the
primary reason for the SGL downgrade.  The SGL-3 rating reflects
Moody's view that the company would most likely receive waivers
from its lenders if it were to violate its leverage covenant in
light of its positive free cash flow.

Moody's will continue its review of Citadel's ratings in order to
assess the company's ability to sustain and improve revenue,
EBITDA margins and free cash flow in the context of the current
weak operating environment such that debt-to-EBITDA leverage and
other credit metrics show meaningful improvement from current
levels.

Citadel Broadcasting Corporation, headquartered in Las Vegas,
Nevada, is a radio broadcaster comprised of 165 FM and 58 AM
stations in more than 50 markets.  The company's 2007 pro-forma
revenues were approximately $945 million.


CITIGROUP COMM: Moody's Rates $28.2 Mil. Class Certs. Low-B
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgrades the ratings of three classes
of Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust., Commercial Mortgage Pass-
Through Certificates, Series 2006-FL2:

-- Class L, $23,871,082, Floating, downgraded to Ba1 from Baa3
-- Class RAM-1, $2,000,000, Floating, downgraded to Ba2 from Baa3
-- Class RAM-2, $2,400,000, Floating, downgraded to Ba3 from Ba1

Moody's is downgrading pooled class L and rake classes RAM-1 and
RAM-2, which were placed on review for possible downgrade on July
17th, 2008, based on a decline in Moody's estimate of property
value for the Radisson Ambassador Plaza Hotel and Casino in San
Juan, Puerto Rico.

The Radisson Ambassador Plaza Hotel and Casino Loan is secured by
a 233 room full-service hotel with a 15,000 square feet casino
located in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  Casino revenue, which currently
represents more than 50% of the total revenue from the property,
has declined since securitization. Year end 2005 casino revenue of
$19.6 million declined to $17.7 million as of year end 2007.

Property operating expenses have also increased since
securitization.  The loan sponsors are Whitehall Street Global
Real Estate LP 2001 and Caribbean Property Group.  Due to the
decline in property performance, Moody's current pooled trust
balance underlying rating is Ba1 compared to Baa2 at
securitization.


CITY CROSSING: Reaches Deal on Debt for $2BB Project
----------------------------------------------------
Hubble Smith of Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that developer
William Plise agreed with creditors regarding most of the amounts
owed on the $2 billion City Crossing mixed-use development in
Henderson.

Plise filed a plan of reorganization on July 2 seeking to market
and sell the City Crossing project and distribute the proceeds
based on order of priority, according to the report.  A court-
ordered settlement conference is scheduled for September before
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Gregg Zive in Reno.  The conference
will enhance the chances that the reorganization plan will be
successful, Community Bank of Nevada, one of the creditors,
believes, according to the report.  Community Bank of Nevada has
lent about $30 million toward the development of City Crossing, a
July report by the Troubled Company Reporter stated.

Mr. Plise said he's hoping for the successful restructuring of
short-term debt obtained in early 2007, most of which matured in
April, according to the report.  Outstanding balances on the
Debtor's loans are hard to pin down due to the structure of some
loans, the report said.

As reported by the TCR on July 1, the Chief Operating Officer of
an entity controlling City Crossing 1 LLC, said the bankruptcy of
the developer of the $2 billion-mixed use development in
Henderson, Nevada, will not stop the project.  "We are not
stopping development.  We have sufficient capital to fund this
work," Plise Development & Construction COO Mitchell Stipp said.

"We expect to have the debt reorganized within the next three to
five months," Mr. Stipp said.

Las Vegas, Nevada-based City Crossing 1, LLC filed for Chapter 11
protection on June 2, 2008 (Bankr. D. Nev. Case No. 08-15780).   
Jeanette E. McPherson, Esq., at Schwartzer & McPherson Law Firm,
represents the Debtor in its restructuring efforts.  The Debtor
had proposed to hire White & Case LLP as its primary bankruptcy
counsel. In its schedules, the Debtor disclosed total assets of
$242,025,172, and  total debts of $194,201,534.


CLIFTON STREET: Fitch Withdraws Ratings on Classes of Certificates
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has withdrawn the ratings on these classes of
Clifton Street Finance Limited, effective immediately:

  -- EUR53,250,000 class A1 'BBB-';
  -- EUR48,750,000 class A2 'BB';
  -- EUR37,500,000 class B 'B';
  -- EUR32,000,000 class C 'CCC';
  -- EUR30,000,000 class D 'CC';
  -- EUR17,500,000 class E 'CC';
  -- EUR15,000,000 class F 'CC';
  -- EUR15,000,000 class G 'CC';
  -- EUR12,000,000 class H 'CC'.

The issuer disclosed noteholder approval of an amendment removing
Fitch as a rating agency from certain documents of the
transaction.  As a result of this amendment, Fitch does not expect
to receive future reporting for this transaction.

Fitch's policy on withdrawing ratings is to take into
consideration whether it has access to sufficient information in
assessing the credit quality of the notes.  If Fitch decides to
cease providing ratings, it will withdraw the ratings using the
most current methodology and opinion on the credit risk of the
notes. In this case, Fitch has decided to withdraw its ratings on
these notes.

Fitch released its updated criteria for corporate CDOs on
April 30, 2008.


CONSECO INC: Moody's Lowers Bank Debt's Rating From Ba3 to B1
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the rating of Conseco, Inc.'s
bank debt to B1 from Ba3 and moved the outlook on Conseco to
negative from stable.  In the same rating action, Moody's
downgraded the insurance financial strength ratings of CNO's
insurance subsidiaries, with the exception of Conseco Senior
Health Insurance Company, to Ba1 from Baa3, with a stable outlook.  
The rating action concludes a review for downgrade that was
initiated on April 17, 2008.

Moody's downgraded these ratings with a stable outlook:

Bankers Life and Casualty Company

  -- insurance financial strength rating to Ba1 from Baa3;

Conseco Insurance Company

  -- insurance financial strength rating to Ba1 from Baa3;

Colonial Penn Life Insurance Company

  -- insurance financial strength rating to Ba1 from Baa3;

Conseco Health Insurance Company

  -- insurance financial strength rating to Ba1 from Baa3;

Conseco Life Insurance Company

  -- insurance financial strength rating to Ba1 from Baa3;

Washington National Insurance Company

  -- insurance financial strength rating to Ba1 from Baa3;

Moody's downgraded these ratings with a negative outlook:

Conseco Inc.

  -- bank debt to B1 from Ba3;
  -- senior convertible debentures to B2 from B1.

Moody's continues the review with direction uncertain on these
rating:

Conseco Senior Health Insurance Company

  -- insurance financial strength rating at Caa1;

According to Scott Robinson, Moody's Vice President and Senior
Credit Officer, "Our rating action was largely predicated on the
company's sub-par earnings results and a deterioration in
statutory capital.  We believe that while management has taken
meaningful steps to improve Conseco's operations, the company
still faces significant challenges ahead."

The rating agency noted that while the recently announced plan to
transfer CSHIC to an independent trust lays the groundwork for
improvement in CNO's credit profile, it also results in diminished
room under existing bank loan financial covenants, leaving the
company less margin for financial and operational errors over the
near to medium term.  The negative outlook on the holding company
along with a stable outlook on the operating companies reflects
the potential for wider notching between the holding company
ratings and the IFS ratings of the insurance subsidiaries.

Conseco reported second quarter net operating earnings before a
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and net realized
investment losses of $33.4 million, up from a $49.7 million loss
in the same period one year ago.  The recent quarter's earnings,
notably the results of the Bankers Life Segment, were below
Moody's expectations.  According to Robinson, "One-time charges,
including a $26 million decrease in earnings related to long-term
care policies at Bankers hurt earnings."

Moody's said that the following would place upward pressure on the
company's ratings: the absence of material "one-time" earnings
charges; annual run-rate consolidated statutory EBIT of at least
$150 million; mitigation of the level of risk and uncertainty
associated with the company's long-term care block; and RBC ratio
on a consolidated basis above 300%. Conversely, the following
would place downward pressure on the ratings: adjusted GAAP EBIT
coverage of below two times; RBC ratio on a consolidated basis
below 275%; or annual run-rate consolidated statutory EBIT below
$125 million.

The last rating action on Conseco took place on August 13, 2008,
when Moody's changed the rating review on CSHIC from downgrade to
direction uncertain.  The action followed an announcement by
Conseco Inc. of a plan to transfer CSHIC to an independent trust.

Conseco is a specialized financial services holding company that
operates primarily in the life and health insurance sectors
through its subsidiaries.  As of June 30, 2008, Conseco reported
total assets of $32.6 billion and shareholder's equity of $3.3
billion.

Moody's insurance financial strength ratings are opinions of the
ability of insurance companies to repay punctually senior
policyholder claims and obligations.


CPG INT'L: Moody's Confirms 61% Sr. Unsec. Note's Rating at B3
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed CPG International I Inc.'s
rating outlook to negative from stable, and affirmed its credit
ratings including its B2 corporate family rating and probability
of default ratings.

These ratings were affirmed:

  -- B2 Corporate Family Rating,
  -- B2 Probability of Default Rating,
  -- B3, LGD 4, 61% senior unsecured note rating, and
  -- SGL-2 speculative grade liquidity rating.

The previous rating action on CPG was the affirmation of the SGL-2
rating on June 22, 2007.

The negative outlook reflects Moody's expectation that reduced
demand for CPG's AZEK residential products, increased resin input
prices and continuing deterioration of the residential housing and
remodeling markets will pressure the company's earnings and cash
generation well into 2009.  Recent deterioration in operating
performance has resulted in debt-to-EBITDA leverage approaching
6.0x, on a proforma basis, which is high for its current B2
rating.  If the company's recent price increases do not take hold
or sales volumes deteriorate further, its margins will likely
remain under pressure.  The company's comfortable liquidity
profile and market share gains partially mitigate immediate credit
pressures.

CPG, headquartered in Scranton, Pennsylvania, is a manufacturer
and fabricator of engineered and branded synthetic products
designed to replace wood and metal in a variety of building
materials and industrial applications.  CPG generated net revenues
of approximately $312 million in the last twelve months ended June
30, 2008.


CSFB MORTGAGE: Fitch Holds B Rating for $4.7MM Class O Certs.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings upgrades Credit Suisse First Boston commercial
mortgage securities 2003-C5 as:

  -- $31.5 million class D to 'AAA' from 'AA-';
  -- $17.3 million class E to 'AA' from 'A+';
  -- $17.3 million class F to 'A+' from 'A-';
  -- $14.2 million class G to 'A-' from 'BBB+'.

In addition, Fitch affirms these classes:
  -- $75.7 million class A-3 at 'AAA';
  -- $370.3 million class A-4 at 'AAA';
  -- $298.7 million class A-1-A at 'AAA';
  -- Interest only (IO) class A-X at 'AAA';
  -- IO class A-SP at 'AAA';
  -- $39.4 million class B at 'AAA';
  -- $15.8 million class C at 'AAA';
  -- $14.2 million class H at 'BBB';
  -- $9.5 million class J at 'BBB-';
  -- $6.3 million class K at 'BB+';
  -- $6.3 million class L at 'BB';
  -- $7.9 million class M at 'B+';
  -- $1.6 million class N at 'B';
  -- $4.7 million class O at 'B-'.

Fitch does not rate the $15.5 million class P.  Classes A-1 and A-
2 have paid in full.

The upgrades reflect the increased credit enhancement levels due
to principal paydown of 16.5% due to loan payoffs and scheduled
amortization since Fitch's last rating action.  As of the July
2008 distribution date, the pool's aggregate principal balance has
decreased 25.9% to $934.2 million from $1.26 billion at issuance.
Eighteen loans are defeased, including the second and third
largest loans in the transaction (9.6%).

Fitch has identified fourteen loans (13.7%) as Fitch loans of
concern due to declining performance. T he largest Fitch loan of
concern (2.6%), which is in special servicing, is secured by a 438
unit multifamily property located in Houston, Texas.  The loan was
transferred to the special servicer due to monetary default.  The
special servicer started foreclosure proceeding and the borrower,
MBS Cos., filed for bankruptcy.  The loan is over 90 days
delinquent.  The property is currently under contract for sale and
has been approved by the bankruptcy court.  Minimal losses are
expected as the loan is expected to be assumed and returned to the
master servicer.

The second largest Fitch loan of concern (1.8%) is secured by a
173 unit multifamily property in Baltimore, Maryland.  The
servicer reported Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of year end 2007
was 0.37 times (X) with occupancy at 95%, compared to DSCR of
1.29x with occupancy at 92% at issuance.  The decline in
performance is the result of additional capital improvements made
by the borrower and increased utility expenses.

Fitch has reviewed the remaining two shadow rated loans: Mall at
Fairfield Commons and Paramount Plaza.  The Mall at Fairfield
Commons loan maintains its investment-grade shadow rating due to
stable performance since issuance.  The Paramount Plaza loan has
defeased.

The Mall at Fairfield Commons loan (7.2%) is secured by 856,879
square foot (sf) of a 1,046,726 sf regional mall in Beavercreek,
OH.  As of June 30, 2008, the occupancy improved slightly to 96.6%
from 95.5% at issuance.  The loan is scheduled to mature in
November 2014.

Three loans (0.6%) are scheduled to mature in 2008, all of which
are secured by multifamily properties.  The interest rate on these
loans ranges from 5.05% to 7.1% with weighted average coupon at
6.11%.  One loan (0.1%) has passed the maturity date but is
performing.  Fitch is monitoring the status of this loan.

Class Description: Tranche Notes Due December 20, 2016 (2006-17)

  -- Prior Rating: Baa3, on review for possible downgrade
  -- Current Rating: B1

According to Moody's, the rating actions are the result of
deterioration in the credit quality of the transaction's
underlying collateral pool, which consists primarily of corporate
synthetic securities.


CSFB MORTGAGE: Fitch Cuts Pass-Through Classes of Certificates
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings downgrades these class of CS First Boston Mortgage
Securities Corp., pass-through certificates, series 2007-TFL2 as:

  -- $33.5 million class L to 'BB-' from 'BBB-';

In addition, Fitch maintains on Rating Watch Negative these
classes:

  -- $8.9 million class BSL-A at 'AA-';
  -- $9.0 million class BSL-B at 'A+';
  -- $8.9 million class BSL-C at 'A';
  -- $8.9 million class BSL-D at 'A-';
  -- $7.9 million class BSL-E at 'BBB+'; and
  -- $9.9 million class BSL-F at 'BBB'.

In addition, Fitch affirms these classes:
  -- $521.3 million class A-1 at 'AAA';
  -- $100 million class A-2 at 'AAA';
  -- $207 million class A-3 at 'AAA';
  -- Interest-only class A-X-1 at 'AAA';
  -- Interest-only class A-X-2 at 'AAA';
  -- $45.7 million class B at 'AA+';
  -- $42.6 million class C at 'AA';
  -- $33.5 million class D at 'AA-';
  -- $36.6 million class E at 'A+';
  -- $36.5 million class F at 'A';
  -- $33.5 million class G at 'A-';
  -- $39.6 million class H at 'BBB+';
  -- $36.6 million class J at 'BBB'; and
  -- $39.6 million class K at 'BBB-'.

Fitch also affirms these non-pooled components of the related
trust assets:
  -- $91.6 million class CSP-A1 at 'AAA';
  -- $33.6 million class CSP-A2 at 'AAA';
  -- Interest-only class CSP-AX at 'AAA';
  -- $10.6 million class CSP-B at 'AA+';
  -- $11.5 million class CSP-C at 'AA';
  -- $9.9 million class CSP-D at 'AA-';
  -- $10 million class CSP-E at 'A+';
  -- $9.7 million class CSP-F at 'A';
  -- $19.9 million class CSP-G at 'BBB+';
  -- $9.9 million class CSP-H at 'BBB';
  -- $15.9 million class CSP-J at 'BBB-'; and
  -- $18 million class CSP-K at 'BB+'.

The downgrade is a result of the Resorts Atlantic City (11.7%) not
performing to expectations.  The Resorts Atlantic City is a 942-
room casino and hotel located in Atlantic City, New Jersey.  Total
debt on the loan is $360 million, which consists of a $175 million
senior component which is held in the trust and a $185 million
junior component held outside the trust.  As of first-quarter
2008, the property's net cash flow declined approximately 58% from
Fitch's stressed net cash flow at issuance.  The decrease in cash
flow is attributed to multiple factors: increased competition, a
smoking ban introduced throughout the entire Atlantic City gaming
market, and the overall negative performance of the gaming
industry due to general macro-economic conditions throughout the
U.S. For the first three months ended March 31, 2008, the Atlantic
City gaming market recorded a 17.7% decrease in gross operating
profit from the same period in 2007.  Fitch does not expect the
cash flow to reach the same levels as at issuance.

Fitch maintains Rating Watch Negative on rake classes related to
Biscayne Landing (10.9%) as a result of the transfer to special
servicing for default.  The borrower failed to meet the mandatory
prepayment of $17 million that was due on Jan. 30, 2008.  Any
resolution costs or potential losses could be incurred by one or
more of the BSL rake classes, which are collateralized by the non-
pooled senior portions of the Biscayne Landing loan and are
subordinate to the pooled senior portion.  Biscayne Landing is the
largest undeveloped parcel of urban land in South Florida,
consisting of 188 acres in North Miami.  The original development
plan that revolved around a master planned community has been
modified by the borrower to better represent current demand, and
the city recently approved an alternative town center commercial
concept with a reduced residential component and the inclusion of
big box retail and in-line space in addition to entertainment,
office, and hotel venues.  The Biscayne Landing loan matures on
May 9, 2009 and has two one-year extension options.

The affirmations are due to expected performance and continued
stabilization of the remaining loans since issuance. As of the
July 2008 distribution date, the transaction's aggregate principal
balance has decreased 0.62%.  All of the original eight loans
remain in the trust.  Of the loans scheduled to mature in 2008,
all have extension options ranging from two to three years.

The transaction consists of loans collateralized by hotel
properties (49.1%), office (24%), healthcare (16%), and land
(10.9%).

The largest loan is secured by the Planet Hollywood Resort and
Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The property is in the midst of a
$178 million renovation and re-development project that includes
substantial improvements to the facade, casino, restaurants, and
guestrooms.  Renovations are nearing completion, with the final
1,076 guestrooms on schedule to be completed prior to the 2008
holiday season.  The loan's initial maturity is Dec. 12, 2008,
with three, one-year extension options.


CSFB MORTGAGE: Moody's Junks Class B Certificate's Ratings
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the rating of one tranche
issued by CSFB Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2003-
CF14.  The collateral backing the transaction consists primarily
of first lien adjustable-rate and fixed-rate "scratch and dent"
mortgage loans.

Complete rating actions are

Issuer: CSFB Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2003-CF14

  -- Cl. B, downgraded from B1 to Caa1

The action is part of an ongoing, wider review of all RMBS
transactions, in light of the deteriorating housing market and
rising delinquencies and foreclosures. Many "scratch and dent"
pools are exhibiting higher than expected rates of delinquency,
foreclosure, and REO.  The rating adjustments will vary based on
level of credit enhancement, collateral characteristics, pool-
specific historical performance, quarter of origination, and other
qualitative factors.


DELTA FINANCIAL: Has Until September 15 to File Chapter 11 Plan
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Honorable Christopher S. Sontchi of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware extended the exclusivity period for
Delta Financial Corp., which said last month that it is close to
reaching an agreement with its creditors, ABIWorld cites a report
from Bankruptcy Law360.

Judge Sontchi's order filed Monday said that Delta will have until
Sept. 15 to file a plan, and until Nov. 17 to solicit acceptances.
In its motion for the extension, filed July 25, Delta said it had
made significant progress in negotiations with its creditors, and
had reached agreement on "the majority of the terms" of a
liquidation plan. However, the company said, it needed more time
to work out certain details and to continue evaluating the
validity of the roughly 400 claims, amounting to about
$520 million, against its estate.

                       About Delta Financial

Founded in 1982, Delta Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: DFC) --
http://www.deltafinancial.com/-- is a Woodbury, New York-based
specialty consumer finance company that originates, securitizes

The company filed a chapter 11 petition on December 17, 2007
(Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 07-11880).  On the same day, three
affiliates filed separate chapter 11 petitions -- Delta Funding
Corp., Renaissance Mortgage Acceptance Corp., and Renaissance
R.E.I.T. Investment Corp. -- (Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos. 07-11881 to
07-11883).

The Debtors selected Morrison & Foerster LLP as their general
bankruptcy counsel and David B. Stratton, Esq. and James C.
Carignan, Esq. at Pepper Hamilton LLP as their counsel.  The
Debtors hired AlixPartners LLP as their claims agent.  The
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors retained Landis Rath &
Cobb LLP as its Delaware counsel.

of Sept. 30, 2007, showed $7,223,528,000 in total assets and
$7,108,232,000 in total liabilities.  The Debtors' petition listed
D.B. Structured Products Inc. as their largest unsecured creditor
holding a $19,500,000 claim.


DORSET STREET: Fitch Withdraws Ratings on Nine Classes of Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has withdrawn these ratings for Dorset Street
Finance Limited, effective immediately:

  -- EUR45,000,000 class A1 notes 'A-';
  -- EUR75,000,000 class A2 notes 'BBB';
  -- EUR98,250,000 class B notes 'BBB-';
  -- EUR91,500,000 class C notes 'BB-';
  -- EUR75,000,000 class D notes 'CCC';
  -- EUR60,000,000 class E notes 'CC';
  -- EUR37,500,000 class F notes 'CC';
  -- EUR33,750,000 class G notes 'CC';
  -- EUR30,000,000 class H notes 'CC'.

The issuer disclosed noteholder approval of an amendment removing
Fitch as a rating agency from certain documents of the
transaction.  As a result of this amendment, Fitch does not expect
to receive future reporting for this transaction.

Fitch's policy on withdrawing ratings is to take into
consideration whether it has access to sufficient information in
assessing the credit quality of the notes.  If Fitch decides to
cease providing ratings, it will withdraw the ratings using the
most current methodology and opinion on the credit risk of the
notes.  In this case, Fitch has decided to withdraw its ratings on
these notes.

Fitch released its updated criteria for corporate CDOs on
April 30, 2008.


DYNASTY OIL: Barred from Filing Case Against Bankruptcy Manager
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held on Aug. 12, 2008,
that Dynasty Oil and Gas LLC, after confirmation of its chapter 11
plan, can't sue a third party for mismanagement during a
bankruptcy proceeding, William Rochelle of Bloomberg News states.

All of the Debtor's property were sold under the plan; the
proceeds of the sale were distributed among creditors, Mr.
Rochelle notes.

According to Mr. Rochelle, although the plan provided that the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the Debtor may
pursue "any and all claims," Circuit Chief Judge Edith Jones ruled
that the Debtor lacked standing to sue its manager which was hired
during the pendency of the bankruptcy case.

Judge Jones stated the Dynasty Oil's debtor-in-possession status
ended upon confirmation of its plan, Mr. Rochelle reports.  Judge
Jones, Mr. Rochelle says, added that Dynasty Oil should have
clearly provided in its plan that it intended to pursue a case
against a third party after confirmation.  Absent this provision,
creditors don't have enough information on which to base their
vote for or against the plan, Mr. Rochelle quotes Judge Jones as
stating.

Midland, Texas-based Dynasty Oil and Gas, L.L.C. filed its chapter
11 petition on Feb. 26, 2004 (Bankr. W.D. Tex. Case No. 04-70118).  
Judge Ronald B. King presided over the case.  Roy Byrn Bass, Jr.,
Esq., at Harding, Bass et al., represented the Debtor in this
case.  When the Debtor filed for bankruptcy, it estimated assets
at between $1 million to $10 million and debts at between
$1 million to $10 million.


EAGLE CREEK: Wants Noteholder Committee Appointed
-------------------------------------------------
Eagle Creek Subdivision, LLC and its debtor-affiliates ask
authority from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court from the Eastern District
of North Carolina to appoint a committee representing holders of
junior deeds of trust on certain of the Debtors' property.

Each of the Debtors' property is encumbered by deeds of trust in
favor of certain individuals or entities who have loaned funds
with the Debtors on a junior priority basis.  These deeds of trust
share priority pursuant to a participation agreement pari passu.

There are 100 noteholders between the five Debtors and other
affiliated non-filing entities.  Some noteholders have invested in
multiple projects.

The Debtors contend that the appointment of the "Committee of
Noteholders" is necessary to provide representation for this
important group, since the committee will help streamline
negotiations between lienholders and the Debtors by having a group
of Noteholders speak on behalf of all the noteholders.  
Additionally, they say, the committee will also ease the
administrative burden on the Debtors.

The Debtors will provide a list of noteholders who will be
included the Committee.

ELECTROHOME LTD: Shareholders to Consider Plan on September 11
--------------------------------------------------------------
Electrohome Limited disclosed that the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice has authorized the company to hold a special meeting of
its Class X and Class Y shareholders on Sept. 11, 2008, to approve
a Plan of Arrangement.
    
On Aug. 5, 2008, Electrohome reported its plan to wind-up the
company pursuant to a court supervised Plan of Arrangement.  The
Plan of Arrangement proposed by the company under the Business
Corporations Act provides an expeditious and efficient way for the
company to sell its remaining assets, satisfy its outstanding
obligations and maximize the amount of residual proceeds that can
be distributed to its shareholders prior to the dissolution of the
Corporation, all in an orderly fashion within a condensed and
finite timeframe under the supervision of the Court.
    
The record date for the special meeting has been set at Aug. 11,
2008.  
    
The proposed Plan of Arrangement includes the sale of the
company's investment in Mechdyne Corporation, fulfillment and
discharge of the company's outstanding liabilities and
obligations, cancellation of the issued and outstanding Class X
Shares and the Class Y Shares, delisting of the company's shares
from the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange and the ceasing of
the company to be a reporting issuer, change of the company's name
to ELXY Holdings Inc., change in the company's minimum number of
directors from 3 to 1, appointment of an administrative agent to
assist the company with implementation of the Plan of Arrangement,
distribution to shareholders of any residual proceeds, and
dissolution of the company.

As part of the Plan of Arrangement the company proposes to sell
its shares of Mechdyne Corporation, which the company carried on
its books for C$4,000,000 back to Mechdyne in exchange for an
initial cash payment of $616,444 (C$xxxxx) and a 10 year
promissory note in the amount of $3,082,222 (C$xxxxx)bearing
interest at an annual rate of 4.3% with principal payments subject
to Mechdyne's annual earnings.  Since the company intends to wind
up its operations, the company's chairman, president, chief
executive officer and controlling shareholder, Mr. John A.
Pollock, has agreed to purchase the 10 year promissory note from
the company for a cash amount of $2,394,592  (C$xxxxx).

A committee of independent directors of the company reviewed the
proposed sale transactions and engaged an independent Chartered
Business Valuator to provide the committee with an independent
fairness opinion.  The CBV concluded that that the proposed
transaction is fair to the shareholders from a financial
perspective.
    
In the interests of maximizing the amount of residual proceeds
that can be distributed to shareholders, Mr. Pollock has also
agreed to forgo payment of approximately $450,000 (C$xxxxx)with
respect to the funding of his supplemental retirement plan with
the Corporation.  An independent actuary has determined that the
liability of the company to fully fund the retirement benefits
under this plan is approximately $700,000 (C$xxxxx).

The company stated that if proposed Plan of Arrangement is
approved, the company must have sufficient funds to satisfy its
remaining obligations and perhaps provide a final distribution to
its shareholders prior to the formal dissolution.  If the Plan is
not approved, the company may be forced into insolvency
proceedings.

Electrohome Limited also disclosed on Aug. 7, 2008, that its
subsidiary, 2112126 Ontario Inc., closed the sale of its land on
Victoria Street in Kitchener, Ontario.  The property is undergoing
remediation and rehabilitation as a result of contamination from a
discontinued historic operation.  The property was sold on an "as
is" basis for nominal consideration with the purchaser agreeing to
remediate the property.
    
As a result of the sale, Electrohome will take approximately
$375,000 into income in the fourth quarter being the reversal of
the remaining related remediation accrual in its financial
statements.

         Results for Three Months Ended June 30, 2008

A loss for the third quarter of C$1,279,000 compares to a loss of
C$184,000 last year.
    
There was no income for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.  Income
from the third quarter of fiscal 2007 consisted of royalty income
of C$69,000 and investment income from marketable securities of
C$7,000.
    
During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the company wrote down
its investment in Mechdyne Corporation by C$955,000 due to the
subsequent transactions associated with Mechdyne, which provide
evidence as to the fair value of that investment at June 30, 2008.

            Results for Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008

A loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 of C$311,000
compares to a loss of C$189,000 last year.

Royalty income of C$78,000 compares to C$260,000 last year.  The
decrease is a result of one quarter of royalties in fiscal 2008
versus three quarters in fiscal 2007 and also due to lower sales
of Electrohome branded products during the first quarter.
    
There was no investment income from marketable securities for the
nine months of fiscal 2008 as they were completely sold during
fiscal 2007.  Investment income was $54,000 for the nine months of
fiscal 2007.
    
During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Corporation wrote
down its investment in Mechdyne Corporation by C$955,000 due to
the subsequent transactions associated with Mechdyne, which
provide evidence as to the fair value of that investment at
June 30, 2008.
    
During the second quarter of fiscal 2008 the company recorded a
gain on sale of the company's trademarks of C$1,500,000 as noted
above.     

During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the company realized a
net gain of C$328,000 for surplus received from the Hourly Pension
Plan under a surplus sharing arrangement with the members of that
Plan.

                     Liquidity and Cash Flows

During the third quarter of fiscal 2008 cash decreased C$313,000
as it was used by operations.
    
During the third quarter of fiscal 2007 cash decreased C$120,000.
Cash was generated by the sale of marketable securities of
$175,000 and it was used by operations of C$295,000.
    
For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, cash increased C$368,000.
Cash was generated from proceeds of C$1,500,000 from the sale of
the company's trademarks effective Jan. 1, 2008, and from
$300,000(C$xxxxx) of advances from the purchaser of the
trademarks.  Cash used to repay in its entirety, the advances of
C$600,000 associated from the sale of the trademarks and was used
by operations of C$832,000.
    
For the nine months ended June 30, 2007, cash increased C$4,000.
Cash was generated by the sale of marketable securities of
C$550,000.  It was used by operations of $529,000 (C$xxxxx)and to
reduce other liabilities of C$17,000

At June 30, 2008, the company's balance sheet showed total assets
of C$3.6 million , total liabilities of C$2.2 million and
shareholders' equity of approximately C$1.4 million.

                        Going Concern Doubt

The company said its only significant cash inflow will consist of
proceeds from the sale of its investment in Mechdyne, however, the
timing and amount of any potential proceeds is subject to the
satisfaction of various conditions.  Current annual cash outflows
of the company are approximately C$1,200,000.  Consequently, given
management's best estimate of future actions, it is estimated that
the company would run out of funds in the first quarter of fiscal
2009.

ELLIOTT OUTDOORS: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
-------------------------------------------------
Increased competition and higher prices for basic necessities led
sporting goods store Elliott Outdoors to file for protection from
its creditors under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, said
James Dusenberry, an investor in the company, according to Ned B.
Hunter of Jackson Sun reports.  The competition came mainly from
Gander Mountain, which opened on Sept. 11.  In 2006, Elliott
Outdoors reported sales of nearly $2.3 million, according to court
records.  The figure gradually fell until during it bankruptcy in
July, sales were only $285,765.

Elliott Outdoors specializes in fishing and hunting products.  It
opened in September 2005 and filed for voluntary Chapter 11 in
early July in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District
of Tennessee.  The Debtor declared more than $291,000 in assets as
of the filing date.


ENHANCED MORTGAGE: Fitch Cuts and Drops Ratings on 4 Cert. Classes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings downgrades and withdraws its rating on Enhanced
Mortgage Backed Securities Fund IV Limited as:

  -- $130,000,000 class A-1 notes paid in full;
  -- $14,000,000 class A-2 notes to 'C/DR4' from 'B';
  -- $20,000,000 class A-3 notes to 'C/DR6' from 'B-';
  -- $6,000,000 class A-4 notes to 'C/DR6' from 'CCC';
  -- $30,000,000 preference shares to 'C/DR5' from 'CCC/DR6'.

These actions reflect EMBS IV's portfolio liquidation.  The class
A-1 notes have been paid in full.  The class A-2 notes have
received $3,127,316 in principal distributions and will receive
approximately $3,700,000 in additional principal payments in mid
September.  The class A-2 final recovery level will be
approximately 48% and receives a 'DR4' recovery rating.  Classes
A-3 and A-4 will not receive any principal payments.  The
preference share rating is principal only and is credited with the
$8,287,314 of interest payments received to date.  The recovery is
27.6% and therefore receives a 'DR5' recovery rating.


FANNIE MAE: Looks to Refinance $225 Billion by End of Sept. 2008
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are looking for ways to refinance
$225 billion worth of debt by the end of September as investors
remain cautious about the two government-sponsored enterprises,
reports ABIWorld.

Shares of both companies have been hammered for weeks by fears
they would no longer be able to function, a problem that would
likely cripple the U.S. housing market, says ABIWorld.  As
reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, the U.S. Congress in
July gave the U.S. Treasury Department the authority to lend money
to Fannie and Freddie or take an equity stake.  Because investors
have little idea how Treasury would intervene, they have become
less enthusiastic about adding Fannie or Freddie debt to their
portfolios, creating a potentially self-fulfilling spiral,
ABIWorld reports.

                         About Fannie Mae

The Federal National Mortgage Association -- (FNMA) (NYSE: FNM) --
commonly known as Fannie Mae, is a shareholder-owned U.S.
government-sponsored enterprise.  Fannie Mae has a federal charter
and operates in America's secondary mortgage market, providing
mortgage bankers and other lenders funds to lend to home buyers at
low rates.

Fannie Mae was created in 1938, under President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, at a time when millions of families could not become
homeowners, or risked losing their homes, for lack of a consistent
supply of mortgage funds across America.  The government
established Fannie Mae to expand the flow of mortgage funds in all
communities, at all times, under all economic conditions, and to
help lower the costs to buy a home.

In 1968, Fannie Mae was re-chartered by the U.S. Congress as a
shareholder-owned company, funded solely with private capital
raised from investors on Wall Street and around the world.

Fannie Mae is the U.S. largest mortgage buyer, according to The
New York Times.


FOAMEX INTERNATIONAL: Unable to Toss Out ERISA Class Action Claims
------------------------------------------------------------------
A class action brought by a former Foamex LP worker accusing the
bankrupt foam maker of breaches of duty stemming from its
management of an employee savings plan has survived a motion to
dismiss, with a federal judge letting stand six of eight claims in
the suit, says Bankruptcy Law360.

                           About Foamex

Headquartered in Linwood, Pennsylvania, Foamex International Inc.
(FMXIQ.PK) -- http://www.foamex.com/-- produces cushioning for        
bedding, furniture, carpet cushion and automotive markets.  The
company also manufactures polymers for the industrial, aerospace,
defense, electronics and computer industries.  

The company and eight affiliates filed for chapter 11 protection
on Sept. 19, 2005 (Bankr. Del. Case Nos. 05-12685 through 05-
12693).  

On Feb. 2, 2007, the Court confirmed the Debtors' Second Amended
Joint Plan of Reorganization.  The Plan of Reorganization of
Foamex International Inc. became effective and the company emerged
from chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Feb. 12, 2007.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 8, 2008,
Foamex International Inc.'s consolidated balance sheet at Dec. 30,
2007, showed $430.6 million in total assets and $728.7 million in
total liabilities, resulting in a $298.1 million total
stockholders' deficit.


FOAMEX LP: Moody's Confirms $55 Mil. Senior Loan's Rating at Caa1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed Foamex L.P.'s ratings outlook to
negative from stable.  This action results from the ongoing
economic pressures that Foamex faces due to the continued downturn
in its end markets including the domestic housing and automotive
sectors, the main drivers of Foamex L.P.'s revenues.  In a related
rating action Moody's affirmed the company's corporate family
rating of B2 and the probability of default of B2, but lowered the
rating of its first lien senior secured term loan to B2 from B1
while maintaining the Caa1 rating on the second lien senior
secured term loan consistent with Moody's Loss Given Default
model.

These assessments were affected:

  -- Corporate Family Rating affirmed at B2;

  -- Probability of default rating affirmed at B2;

  -- $327 million first lien senior secured term loan due 2013
     downgraded to B2 (LGD4, 52%) from B1 (LGD3, 37%); and,

  -- $55 million second lien senior secured term loan due 2014
     affirmed at Caa1, buts its loss given default assessment is
     changed to (LGD5, 81%) from (LGD5, 84%).

The B2 corporate family rating incorporates the recent reduction
in balance sheet debt to about $400 million from $541 million at
the end of first quarter 2008, primarily reflecting the continued
support from D.E.  Shaw Laminar Portfolios, the primary equity
owner, through the recent debt for equity exchange.  On a pro
forma basis interest coverage improves to about 1.5x versus 0.8x
for the latest twelve months through June 29, 2008.  Moody's
believes that the reduced debt service requirement and continued
support from its primary equity owner should give Foamex L.P. some
flexibility during the current economic slowdown.  However, the
corporate family rating is constrained by raw material cost
volatility and industry cyclicality of its end markets.

Foamex International Inc., headquartered in Linwood, PA and
operating primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary Foamex
L.P., is a leading manufacturer and distributor of flexible
polyurethane and advanced polymer foam products.  Last twelve
months June 29, 2008 revenues were approximately $1.0 billion.


FOREST CITY: Units Completes $167 Million Construction Financing
----------------------------------------------------------------
(joel/press release)

Forest City Enterprises Inc. reported that its subsidiary, Forest
City Ratner Companies, closed on $167 million in construction
financing for 80 DeKalb, a 335,000-square-foot residential
building on DeKalb Avenue in downtown Brooklyn.

The 34-story, Costas Kondylis-designed building is the first
residential tower constructed by Forest City in Brooklyn. It is
designed to achieve LEED certification and will include 73
affordable and 292 market-rate rental units, making it the first
80/20 development in Brooklyn financed with bonds issued by the
New York State Housing Finance Agency.

"This is an exciting project," said Charles A. Ratner, Forest City
president and chief executive officer.  "It is a magnificent
building at a great location that will provide both affordable and
market-rate apartment homes.  It's also a tribute to our New York
team and the relationships they have built in both the public-
sector and private-sector financing community."

The New York State Housing Finance Agency selected 80 DeKalb to
receive $109.5 million in tax-exempt bonds and $27.5 million in
taxable bonds.  The lending institutions involved in the
transaction were Wachovia Bank, N.A., and Helaba, as well as the
National Electrical Benefit Fund, which provided a $10 million
mezzanine loan and $20 million of credit enhancement.

Major construction on the building began in July and it is
expected to open for leasing during the summer of 2009.

                Update on 2008 and 2009 maturities

Along with the announcement of the 80 DeKalb financing, the
company also provided an update on the status of upcoming loan
maturities due in both 2008 and 2009.  Of total 2008 maturities of
$903 million at the Company's pro-rata share reported on Jan. 31,
2008, more than 90 percent have been addressed to date through
closed loans, scheduled amortization, committed refinancings or
available extensions.

In other 2008 financings, the Company has also secured to date
more than $1.3 billion at the Company's share in closed or
committed loans for financings related to its development and
acquisition pipeline in addition to early financings of future
loan maturities on existing properties.

Looking ahead to 2009, of the $690 million in scheduled maturities
at the Company's share reported on January 31, 2008, approximately
60 percent have been addressed to date, either through closed
loans, scheduled amortization or available extensions.

"We continue to manage our maturities effectively, recycling
capital from our portfolio where prudent to apply to other
strategic uses," Ratner said.  "We also continue to achieve
success in accessing non-recourse financing to fund development
and strategic acquisitions based on our track record and long-term
relationships with lenders.  Financing continues to be available
for well-conceived and well-sponsored projects and properties in
solid markets with good demographics, both in our portfolio and in
our development pipeline."

principally engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition and
management of commercial and residential real estate throughout

                             *   *   *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 7, 2008,
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the senior unsecured debt
ratings (Ba3) of Forest City Enterprises, Inc., and revised the
rating outlook to negative from stable.


FOURTH STREET: Fitch Lowers Ratings for Eight Classes of Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch has downgraded and removed from Rating Watch Negative eight
classes of notes issued by Fourth Street Funding Ltd. and Fourth
Street Funding LLC.  These rating actions are the result of
Fitch's review process and are effective immediately:

  -- $191,449,269 class A-1 notes downgraded to 'CC' from 'BBB';
  -- $125,000,000 class A-2 notes downgraded to 'CC' from 'BB';
  -- $45,000,000 class A-3 notes downgraded to 'CC' from 'B-';
  -- $37,500,000 class B notes downgraded to 'CC' from 'CCC';
  -- $17,500,000 class C notes downgraded to 'CC' from 'CCC-';
  -- $20,490,373 class D notes downgraded to 'C' from 'CC';
  -- $20,773,510 class E notes downgraded to 'C' from 'CC;
  -- $15,279,920 class F notes downgraded to 'C' from 'CC'.

Fitch's rating actions reflect the collateral deterioration within
the portfolio, specifically subprime residential mortgage backed
securities, and structured finance collateralized debt obligations
with underlying exposure to subprime RMBS.

Fourth Street is a cash CDO that closed on April 26, 2007, and is
managed by NIR Capital Management LLC.  On March 12, 2008, Fourth
Street entered an Event of Default due to a breach of the Class A
Principal Coverage test.  On March 14, 2008, the majority of
noteholders voted to terminate the reinvestment period and to
accelerate the transaction.

Presently, 91.4% of the portfolio is comprised of 2005, 2006 and
2007 vintage U.S. subprime RMBS and 8.6% consists of 2006 and 2007
vintage U.S. structured finance SF CDOs

Since the last rating action in November 2007, 78.8% of the
portfolio has been downgraded with an additional 9.2% of the
portfolio currently on Rating Watch Negative.  Approximately 98%
of the portfolio is now rated below investment grade, of which
81.2% is rated 'CCC+' or below.  As per the latest trustee report
dated July 7, 2008, defaulted and deferred interest payment in
kind securities constitute 41.9%, or $188.3 million, of the
portfolio total.  The negative credit migration experienced since
the last review has resulted in the Weighted Average Rating Factor
deteriorating to 'B/B-' as of the last trustee report from
'BBB/BBB-' during the last review, breaching its covenant of 7.26
('BBB-').

Fourth Street does not contain overcollateralization or interest
coverage tests that would otherwise trap excess spread to pay down
the notes should principal or interest coverage fall below certain
pre-specified levels.  However, the transaction contains a class A
sequential pay test that, if triggered, requires commencement of
the sequential pay period thereby diverting all principal proceeds
to paydown the most senior class outstanding before other notes
receive principal.  Currently, the class A sequential pay test
level is 20.1% and is failing the trigger of 129.14%. As a result,
the class A-1 notes are receiving their monthly interest payments
and all available principal proceeds.  Fitch expects only the
class A-1 notes to receive future principal distributions.  
Classes A-2, A-3, B, and C continue to receive timely interest
payments, but have little prospect of any principal recovery.
Classes D, E, and F are currently not receiving any interest or
principal payments.  Fitch does not expect these classes to
receive any payments in the future.

The rating of the classes A-1, A-2, A-3, B, and C notes address
the timely receipt of scheduled interest payments and the ultimate
receipt of principal by the legal final maturity date as per the
transaction's governing documents.  The ratings of the classes D,
E, and F notes address the ultimate receipt of interest payments
and the ultimate receipt of principal by the legal final maturity
date as per the transaction's governing documents.  The ratings
are based upon the capital structure of the transaction, the
quality of the collateral, and the protections incorporated within
the structure.

Fitch is reviewing its SF CDO approach and will comment separately
on any changes and potential rating impact at a later date.


FREDDIE MAC: Looks to Refinance $225 Billion by End of Sept. 2008
----------------------------------------------------------------
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are looking for ways to refinance
$225 billion worth of debt by the end of September as investors
are remaining cautious about the two government-sponsored
enterprises, reports ABIWorld.

Shares of both companies have been hammered for weeks by fears
they would no longer be able to function, a problem that would
likely cripple the U.S. housing market, says ABIWorld.  

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, the U.S. Congress in
July gave the U.S. Treasury Department authority to lend money to
Fannie and Freddie or take an equity stake.  Because investors
have little idea how Treasury would intervene, they have become
less enthusiastic about adding Fannie or Freddie debt to their
portfolios, creating a potentially self-fulfilling spiral,
ABIWorld reports.

                        About Freddie Mac

The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation -- (FHLMC) NYSE: FRE --
commonly known as Freddie Mac, is a stockholder-owned government-
sponsored enterprise authorized to make loans and loan guarantees.  
Freddie Mac was created in 1970 to provide a continuous and low
cost source of credit to finance America's housing.

Freddie Mac conducts its business primarily by buying mortgages
from lenders, packaging the mortgages into securities and selling
the securities -- guaranteed by Freddie Mac -- to investors.  
Mortgage lenders use the proceeds from selling loans to Freddie
Mac to fund new mortgages, constantly replenishing the pool of
funds available for lending to homebuyers and apartment owners.


FRONTIER AIRLINES: Shareholder Says Equity Has Been Neglected
-------------------------------------------------------------
In a letter addressed to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York dated Aug. 15, 2008, Edward Ken
Mauzy, a shareholder at Frontier Airlines Holdings Inc., says that
Frontier Airlines Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries' bankruptcy
cases show an "apparent overlooking of the interests of
shareholders."

Mr. Mauzy admits that under Chapter 11 law, the stockholders are
not first in line.  However, options to preserve their interests
in the company must be considered.

In this regard, Mr. Mauzy suggests the option of selling Frontier
to another airline or entity, with the stockholders receiving the
proceeds of the sale or shares in the acquiring company.  Being a
"highly regarded airline with new opportunities for expansion,"
Frontier will be marketable, Mr. Mauzy says.

In the alternative, Frontier can offer additional shares to its
stockholders through a stock offering, recapitalizing as required
to satisfy the credit markets, Mr. Mauzy tells Judge Robert D.
Drain.

Mr. Mauzy believes that a "new share distribution," if any,
should include a certain amount of new shares to be given for
each old share owned, even if a rescuing entity obtains the
majority of the new shares.

FRONTIER AIRLINES: Teamsters Balk at Request for Protective Order
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters asked the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to deny
Frontier Airlines Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries' request for  
a protective order, pursuant Section 1113(d)(3) of the Bankruptcy
Code, blocking the Teamsters from sharing confidential data.

Frontier delivered its proposal to modify both the economic and
non-economic terms of the CBAs to the Teamsters on July 29, 2008.  
To comply with Section 1113(b)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code,
which requires the provision of information that are necessary to
evaluate the Proposed Modifications, Frontier delivered to the
Union a draft agreement containing standard confidentiality
terms, Benjamin S. Kaminetzky, Esq., at Davis Polk & Wardwell, in
New York, relates, on behalf of the Debtors.

Pursuant to the Debtors' proposed Confidentiality Agreement, the
Debtors will provide confidential, proprietary or other non-
public confidential information to an executive committee
authorized by the Teamsters to evaluate the Proposed
Modifications.  Any documents designated as "confidential" or
"highly confidential" information that are produced to the
Executive Committee will be subject to the Agreement.

A full-text copy of the Proposed Confidentiality Agreement is
available at no charge at: http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?311f

Mr. Kaminetzky says the Teamsters has asserted that it is
"entitled to all relevant information immediately and
unconditionally," which it can share with anyone it deems
desirable, and in any forum it deems advisable.  Moreover, the
Teamsters also demands that Frontier immediately provide highly
confidential and commercially sensitive competitive information,
including, among other things, the Company's business plan,
projected statements of income and all liquidation and valuation
analyses.

"Unless we have the information, there's no reason to meet
with them," Teamsters Local 961 President Matthew Fazakas told
Bloomberg News, adding that the union had proposed bargaining
sessions begin next week.

The Teamsters has also declined Frontier's efforts to engage in
negotiations over confidentiality terms, which refusal has caused
delay and frustrated the confidentiality process pursuant to
Section 1113 of the Bankruptcy Code, Mr. Kaminetzky adds.

Section 1113 requires the Debtors to "provide the Union with
relevant information as is necessary to evaluate the proposal,"
and authorizes the Court to prevent disclosure of information, as
necessary to avoid compromising the position of the Debtors with
respect to their competitors in the industry.

"Frontier only seeks to comply with its statutory duty under
Section 1113 to share certain highly confidential information and
commence negotiations with the Teamsters; however, it cannot do
so in the absence of confidentiality protections, as disclosure
could threaten Frontier's competitive position and survival in
the airline industry," Mr. Kaminetzky explains.

Teamsters contended that the Debtors' request for a protective
order is "antithetical" to Section 1113(d)(3) of the Bankruptcy
Code.  The Teamsters asserted that it is "entitled to all relevant
information immediately and unconditionally," and demanded
disclosure of, among other things, the company's business plan,
forecasted statements of income and all liquidation and valuation
analyses -- information that are "highly confidential and
commercially sensitive" according to the Debtors.

Marianne Goldstein Robbins, Esq., at Previant Goldberg, Uelmen,
Gratz, Miller & Brueggemen, S.C., in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
contends on the Teamsters' behalf, that the Debtors have neither
presented an argument that their proposed Protective Order is
consistent with the Teamsters' needs, nor that it is necessary to
protect them from disclosure to competitors.

Ms. Robbins points out that airlines are required to report to
the Department of Transportation and make available to the
public, their financial information, including balance sheets,
statements of cash flow, financial statements of operation,
employment statistics, U.S. and foreign carrier traffic and
capacity information, and report of financial data.

There was no method to challenge designations of confidential
information, or any procedure by which the Debtors would make the
showing, as required by Section 1113(d)(3), Ms. Robbins told Judge
Robert D. Drain.

Pursuant to Section 1113(b), any proposal for modifications to the
Debtors' CBAs with the Teamsters must be "based upon the most
complete and reliable information available at the time of the
Proposal," thus, protection against information disclosure applies
against third parties only, not against the Teamsters, Ms. Robbins
contends.

Specifically, Section 1113 prohibits the disclosure of
information that applies only to those that harm the Debtors'
position versus their direct competitors in the same industry,
which are limited to matters that involve "trade secrets," Ms.
Robbins says.

Ms. Robbins adds that the Debtors' proposed Confidentiality
Agreement has a category of "highly confidential" information
that could only be filed under seal.  In this regard, the
proposed Agreement purported to cover documents that have already
been produced retroactively, she maintained.

Furthermore, "rank-and-file members have a federally-protected
right to participate in union affairs which cannot be impaired by
the federal courts . . . and mandates that [the C]ourt protect
union democracy and the rank-and-file's right to know," Ms.
Robbins told Judge Drain.

GEMINI AIR: Commences Chapter 7 Liquidation Proceedings
-------------------------------------------------------
Air Cargo News.net reported on Aug. 18 that Gemini Air Cargo, Inc.
has ceased operations and has entered Chapter 7 liquidation.

The liquidation proceedings and the closure were decided after the
airline reportedly failed to reach agreement with final interested
party, Bravia Capital, on the sale of its operations.  The
airlines received several expressions of interest, including from
Centurion Air Cargo, but no deal was reached, according to the
report.

According to the report, a source close to the airline said only a
skeleton staff remains at the company and most employees have been
informed of the closure.  Reportedly, Gemini's four MD-11Fs will
be returned to the lessors, two to GECAS and two to AerCap.

HAIGHTS CROSS: June 30 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $140.3 Million
------------------------------------------------------------------
Haights Cross Communications Inc. reported Wednesday its results
for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.  

At June 30, 2008, the company's consolidated balance sheet showed
$339.1 million in total assets and $479.4 million in total
liabilities, resulting in a $140.3 million stockholders' deficit.

Including income on disposal of discontinued operations of
$15.4 million, the company reported net income of $16.3 million
for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.  This compares with a
net loss of $14.4 million, including income from discontinued
operations of $367,000, for the same period last year.

The company disclosed that on June 30, 2008, it had closed the
sale of its Oakstone Publishing business.  As a result of the
disposition, the results of Oakstone Publishing have been
reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented
in the consolidated financial statements.  The company also
disclosed on July 1, 2008, that it was suspending the sale process
for its test-prep and intervention business, Triumph Learning, and
its audio book publishing business, Recorded Books.

Revenue for the second quarter 2008 was $51.9 million, an increase
of $1.3 million, or 2.7%, compared to revenue of $50.6 million for
the second quarter 2007, reflecting growth in the company's Test-
Prep and Intervention and Library segments, partially offset by a
continued revenue decline in the company's K-12 Supplemental
Education segment.

Income from operations increased $3.5 million to $8.4 million for
the second quarter 2008, primarily reflecting the revenue growth
for the quarter, in addition to decreased cost of goods sold
expenses and amortization of pre-publication costs associated with
the wind-down of the Sundance/Newbridge business.

EBITDA, which the company defines as earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, amortization, discontinued operations and
goodwill impairment charges, grew $1.8 million to $14.4 million
for the second quarter 2008, primarily reflecting quarter revenue
growth and decreased cost of goods sold, offset by increased
restructuring costs associated with the wind-down of its
Sundance/Newbridge business.

On Aug. 15, 2008, the company refinanced its senior secured term
loans due Aug. 15, 2008.  The company borrowed $108.2 million
under the new credit facility and used a combination of net
proceeds plus cash on hand, including cash received from its
previous sale of its Oakstone Publishing business to repay its
existing senior secured term loans in full.  In addition, on
Aug. 15, 2008, the company retired $31.2 million of its 11 3/4%
Senior Notes due 2011.

          Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008, increased to
$96.8 million from $96.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2007, reflecting growth in the company's Library, Test-prep and
Intervention segments offset by a revenue decline in the company's  
K-12 Supplemental Education segment.

Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008
increased $1.3 million, primarily due to the decreases in costs of
goods sold and amortization of pre-publication costs offset by
increased restructuring related costs associated with the wind
down of the company's Sundance/Newbridge business and increased
professional fees related to the suspended efforts to sell the
company's Recorded Books and Triumph Learning businesses.

EBITDA improved $200,000 to $23.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008, reflecting increases in the Library and K-12
Supplemental Education segments off-set by a decrease in the  
Test-prep and Intervention segment and one time charges associated
with suspended efforts to sell the company's Recorded Books and
Triumph Learning businesses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the company invested
$10.6 million in pre-publication costs, compared to $11.4 million
during the same period in 2007.  Pre-publication costs relate to
costs incurred in the development of new products.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the company invested
$600,000 in property and equipment, compared to $1.1 million
during the same period in 2007.  Property and equipment
expenditures relate to the purchase of tangible fixed assets such
as computers, software, and leasehold improvements.

statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, are available for
free at http://researcharchives.com/t/s?3115

IAC/INTERACTIVE: Moodys Rates 7% Senior Unsecured Notes at Ba3
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded IAC/InterActiveCorp's
Corporate Family rating to Ba2 from Baa3, the $80 million 2035
Liberty bonds guaranteed by IAC to Ba2 from Baa3, and the
remaining 7% senior unsecured notes due 2013 to Ba3 from Baa3.  

Moody's also assigned a Ba1 Probability of Default rating and
SGL-1 speculative-grade liquidity rating.  The rating actions
conclude the review for downgrade initiated on Nov. 6, 2007 in
connection with IAC's announcement that its Board of Directors had
approved a plan to separate into five publicly traded companies by
spinning off HSN, Inc., Ticketmaster, Interval Acquisition Corp.
and Tree.com to existing IAC shareholders. The rating outlook is
stable.

Downgrades:

Issuer: IAC/InterActiveCorp

  -- Corporate Family Rating, Downgraded to Ba2 from Baa3

  -- 7% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2013, Downgraded to Ba3, LGD6-
     97% from Baa3

Issuer Rating, Downgraded to Ba3 from Baa3

Issuer: New York City Industrial Development Agency, NY

  -- 5% Liberty Bonds (guaranteed by IAC/InterActiveCorp.),
     Downgraded to Ba2, LGD4-65% from Baa3

Assignments:

Issuer: IAC/InterActiveCorp

  -- Probability of Default Rating, Assigned Ba1
  -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Assigned SGL-1

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: IAC/InterActiveCorp

  -- Outlook, Changed To Stable From Rating Under Review

IAC received approximately $1.15 billion of cash dividends in
conjunction with the spin-offs funded from new debt offerings at
HSN, Ticketmaster and Interval.  In addition, approximately $750
million of the pre-spin cash balance remained with the spincos
related to their operating cash needs and client cash held by
Ticketmaster.  IAC utilized cash along with $300 million of new
notes issued by Interval to fund a tender/exchange offer for its
$750 million of 7% senior unsecured notes due in 2013.  Subsequent
to the spin-offs, related financings and the tender/exchange
offer, IAC will have approximately $1.35 billion of cash and
marketable securities and balance sheet debt declines to
approximately $96 million from $913 million.

The CFR downgrade reflects the significant reduction in IAC's
scale and business diversity with the spin-off of approximately
78% of its revenue and approximately 73% of segment EBITDA.  The
spin-offs also significantly increase the company's reliance on
its portfolio of Internet businesses, which are profitable as a
group but subject to low entry barriers and significant business
risk.  The Liberty bonds are guaranteed by IAC and have a security
interest in the mortgage on IAC's headquarters building in
Manhattan that allows bondholders to foreclose on the building in
the event of a default.  Moody's ranks the Liberty bonds ahead of
the remaining 2013 notes in the LGD framework because the 2013
notes are a senior unsecured obligation of IAC with no security
interest in the building, and this drives the one notch rating
differential on those bonds.

The Ba2 CFR reflects IAC's ability to generate cash through
the development of a variety of consumer-oriented Internet
applications that build upon its expertise in online marketing and
distribution, the sizable net cash position available to pursue
its strategic objectives, and low leverage.  IAC will consist of
Ask.com, Match.com, Citysearch.com, ServiceMagic.com and various
other Internet companies with a collective reach that demonstrates
the company's marketing and distribution skills.  Moody's expects
IAC will continue to leverage these capabilities by developing and
acquiring online businesses.  There is significant event risk and
Moody's believes IAC will continue to exhibit a sizable amount of
churn in the business portfolio.

IAC's primary online properties have established brand names and
reasonably long operating histories.  However, the speculative-
grade rating reflects the instability inherent in Internet
businesses due to low entry barriers and significant competition
that includes larger and more diversified companies with more
capacity to invest to keep pace with consumer trends and
technology advances.

IAC's sizable net cash position and relatively low debt-to-EBITDA
provide IAC financial flexibility to pursue its investment and
growth strategy and position the company at the upper end of the
speculative-grade rating range.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation that IAC's
online operations will continue to generate reasonable profit
margins and cash flow, and that the company will maintain good
interest coverage and a relatively conservative capital structure
as it pursues its strategic objectives.

The SGL-1 speculative-grade liquidity rating reflects the
company's very good liquidity created by the sizable $1.5 billion
pro forma cash balance, positive free cash flow generation, and
the absence of any meaningful debt maturities until 2013.  Moody's
expects that IAC will utilize a portion of the cash for
acquisitions and share repurchases, but maintain a comfortable net
cash position over the 12-month liquidity horizon.

IAC, headquartered in New York City, owns a portfolio of Internet
companies. Properties include the search engine Ask.com, online
dating sites Match.com and Chemistry.com, the Citysearch.com local
entertainment guides, the home improvement contractor marketplace
ServiceMagic.com, and a series of other consumer applications and
portals.  IAC plans to spin-off portfolio businesses HSN,
Ticketmaster, Interval, and Tree.com in August 2008.  Upon
completion of the spin-offs, IAC's pro forma revenue approximates
$1.4 billion for the LTM  June 30, 2008 period.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BB' corporate
credit rating on New York City-based IAC/InteractiveCorp and
removed it from CreditWatch, where it was placed with negative
implications Nov. 5, 2007, following IAC's announcement that it
planned to divide itself into five publicly traded companies. The
rating outlook is stable.

"The CreditWatch removal and rating affirmation follows the close
of the company's spin-off transaction, and our evaluation of the
company's business outlook, financial policy, and capital
structure," S&P says.

"At the same time, we affirmed the rating on IAC's 7% senior notes
due 2013, of which about $16 million is expected to remain
outstanding after the company's tender offer, at 'BB' (at the same
level as the 'BB' corporate credit rating). We assigned a recovery
rating of '3' to this debt, indicating our expectation for
meaningful (50%-70%) recovery in the event of a payment default,"
S&P adds.

We also revised the issue-level rating on the Liberty Bonds series
2005 due 2035 to 'BB+' (one notch higher than the corporate credit
rating) from 'BB', and assigned a recovery rating of '2' to this
debt, indicating our expectation for substantial (70%-90%)
recovery in the event of a payment default.

"The 'BB' corporate credit rating reflects IAC's reduced level of
business diversity following the spin-offs, competition from well-
positioned and better capitalized competitors, several start-up
loss-generating businesses and the risk of extended investment
periods for start-up initiatives, and vulnerability to continuing
changes in technology and consumer and business demands," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Michael Altberg. "These factors
are partially offset by the company's adequate liquidity position
provided by cash balances, good conversion of EBITDA to
discretionary cash flow, low debt leverage following the tender of
the large majority of 7% senior notes, and fairly well-established
Internet brands."

Following the spin-off, IAC will be an Internet-based company
consisting of its Media & Advertising segment, which includes its
search-related business; Match.com, the largest online dating
service, with about 1.3 million paid subscribers; ServiceMagic, an
online marketplace that connects consumers with home service
professionals; and its emerging business group of start-up
initiatives.

creditors, it listed estimated assets of $55,985,918 and debts of
$3,687,843.


INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT: Fitch Affirms BB Rating on $8.37MM Bonds
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the Industrial Development Authority of
the County of St. Louis, Missouri's outstanding $8.37 million
revenue bonds (issued on behalf of Nazareth Living Center) at
'BB+' as:

Industrial Development Authority of the County of St. Louis,
Missouri
  -- $8,569,000 health care facilities refunding revenue bonds,
     series 1999.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

Rating rationale and primary drivers behind the rating affirmation
and Stable Outlook are based on Nazareth Living Center's  
continued operating stability and strong debt service coverage.
NLC posted an operating margin of 8% on revenue of $13.6 million
in fiscal-year 2007, continuing a four-year trend of positive
results since posting an operating loss in 2003.  Furthermore,
debt service coverage remains strong at 3.3 times as of June 30,
2008, continuing a trend of coverage in excess of 3.0x since 2006;
again much improved from 1.6x in 2003 and well above rate
covenants that were tripped in 2000 and 2001.  Although the
positive operating performance has improved the overall credit
profile of NLC, upward movement in the rating is precluded at this
time in large part due to NLC's declining census in both ALU and
SNF (76.2% and 93.1%, respectively) and its high average age of
plant (11.7 years as of June 30, 2008 ).  Furthermore, NLC's small
revenue size ($13.6 million in 2007) and the inherent risks
associated with its delivery model (mix of SNF and ALU) limits its
ability to quickly adjust to major shifts in reimbursement,
competitive pressures, and/or major expense drivers such as
increases in labor and supply costs that outpace inflation.

Fitch has previously noted its concern regarding declining
utilization, specifically as it relates to the activity of the
Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet.  NLC is sponsored by the
Sisters and has a contract with the order that was updated in 2005
to ensure more appropriate reimbursement.  NLC relies heavily on
the payment contract with the Sisters, which comprise roughly 39%
of total facility utilization and is the largest payor contract.
As the Sisters' occupancy declines commensurate with the declining
number of Sisters in the order, Fitch believes NLC will be
challenged to replace that activity with private pay patients at
rates similar to the Sisters' contract especially given the very
competitive nature of NLC's core market area.  NLC's marketplace
is very competitive with several competitors having relatively new
assisted living units.  Meramec Bluffs, sponsored by Lutheran
Senior Services (rated 'A-' by Fitch) and Friendship Village of
South County (rated 'A-') have recently added new units to their
campuses. Management reported that Erickson Retirement Communities
is entering the market and has opened a sales office six miles
from NLC. Finally, Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America Inc. is
planning to build a continuing care retirement community on the
campus of the former SSM St. Joseph hospital campus in Kirkwood,
approximately eight miles from NLC.

The Stable Outlook is based on Fitch's belief that management can
maintain NLC's current profitability and liquidity profile.  Fitch
believes that management's recent initiatives to increase Medicare
revenues will allow NLC to remain profitable and allow for
investments in core facilities without materially weakening NLC's
current balance sheet.  Furthermore, NLC's entered into a
management services relationship with Benedictine Health Services
(BHS, formerly an affiliate of Essentia Health - Essentia Health
is rated 'A-' ) on Jan. 1, 2008, which is viewed positively by
Fitch.  The common religious mission and senior living
specialization of the two entities is expected to produce
synergies through shared strategies and management best practices
that should lead to continued operating stability for NLC.

Located in St. Louis, Missouri, Nazareth Living Center operates
134 assisted living units and 140 skilled nursing beds. Under the
series 1999 bond documents, NLC is required to disclose only
annual financial statements to the trustee for the benefit of
bondholders.  However, Fitch views favorably NLC's distribution of
interim financials and utilization statistics directly to
requesting bondholders.

$100 million and total debts between $100 million and $500
million.


ISONICS CORP: Losses Cue Hein & Associates' Going Concern Doubt
---------------------------------------------------------------
Denver-based Hein & Associates LLP raised substantial doubt about
the ability of Isonics Corporation to continue as a going concern
after it audited the company's financial statements for the year
ended April 30, 2008.  

The auditing firm reported that the company has suffered recurring
losses from operations and will continue to require funding from
investors for working capital.

The company posted a net loss of $11.21 million on total revenues
of $22.16 million for the year ended April 30, 2008, as compared
with a net loss of $13.17 million on total revenues of $27.73
million in the prior year.

                       Management Statement

The company has working capital shortages in the past and,
although the company raised capital totaling more than
$46.8 million (net of expenses and $4.1 million of payments
related to its 8% Debentures) since May 1, 2004, the company has
generated significant losses, which have impacted its working
capital.  

As of April 30, 2008, the company's consolidated balance sheet
reflects a working capital deficit of $13.13 million.

The company expects that these conditions will continue for the
foreseeable future unless the company is able to raise a
substantial amount of additional financing.  In view of these
matters, the company's ability to continue to pursue its plan of
operations is dependent upon its ability to raise the capital
necessary to meet its financial requirements on a continuing
basis.

Based on the amount of capital remaining and expected negative
cash flow from operations and investing activities, management
anticipates that the company will not be able to positively impact
its working capital unless it is able to substantially increase
revenues or reduce expenses thereby generating positive cash flow
from operations and (ultimately) operating income.

As a result of the financing in June 2008, the management believes
that the company currently has enough working capital to finance
its anticipated operations and projected negative cash flow into
the quarter ending Oct. 31, 2008.

In addition, if the company is able to secure an offer for asset-
based financing from a third party, YA Global has agreed to review
that proposed financing and in its sole discretion consider
releasing its security interest in certain of the company's assets
to secure that financing.  

If the company is successful at obtaining a minimum of
$1.00 million of additional financing, management believes that
the company could have enough working capital to finance its
anticipated operations and projected negative cash flow into the
fiscal year ending April 30, 2010.

Because of the terms of the existing YA Global financing, the
company is unable to secure any additional financing without YA
Global's consent and approval.  Because of the potential dilution
associated with the 13% Debentures and the holder's security
interest in substantially all of the company's assets, management
believes that it is unlikely that the company will be able to
obtain additional financing unless it is able to reach an
accommodation with its existing debenture holder.

                   Event of Default Probability

The company currently may be non-compliant with certain covenants
of the 13% Debentures and as a result, YA Global may potentially
be able to, in its discretion, declare an Event of Default.  

In addition, it is likely that the company will be unable to
comply with certain financial covenants of the Term Notes during
its fiscal year ending April 30, 2009.  As a result YA Global may
potentially also be able to, in its discretion, declare an event
of default on those notes.

Remedies for an event of default include the option to accelerate
payment of the full principal amount of the 13% Debentures and
Term Notes, together with interest and other amounts due (a
cumulative amount of $20.90 million at April 30, 2008), to the
date of acceleration and the holder will have the right to request
such payment in cash or in shares (as it relates to the YA Global
Debentures) of the company's common stock.

The 13% Debentures and Term Notes are secured by all, or
substantially all, of the company's assets.  If YA Global declares
an event of default on any of the 13% Debentures or the Term
Notes, it is probable that the company will not be able to cure
the default or contest any efforts that YA Global may take to
foreclose against its security interest in substantially all of
the company's assets.  Following such foreclosure, it is likely
that few or no assets would remain for distribution to its
shareholders.

                          Balance Sheet

At April 30, 2008, the company's balance sheet showed $12.76
million in total assets and $17.81 million in total liabilities,
resulting in a $5.05 million stockholders' deficit.  

The company's consolidated balance sheet at April 30, 2008, also
showed strained liquidity with $4.02 million in total current
assets available to pay $17.15 million in total current
liabilities.

JUMA TECH: Seligson & Giannattasio Expresses Going Concern Doubt
----------------------------------------------------------------
Seligson & Giannattasio, LLP, raised substantial doubt about the
ability of Juma Technology Corp. to continue as a going concern
after it audited the company's financial statements for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2007.  

The auditing firm pointed to the company's significant recurring
losses.  The auditor also stated that the realization of a major
portion of the company's assets is dependent upon Juma's ability
to meet its future financing needs and the success of its future
operations.

The company posted a net loss of $15,861,359 on net sales of
$12,587,003 for the year ended Dec. 31, 2007, as compared with a
net loss of $1,528,153 on net sales of $11,063,329 in the prior
year.

The company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon its ability to obtain financing to repay its current
obligations and its ability to achieve profitable operations.  
Management plans to obtain financing through the issuance of
additional debt, the issuance of shares on the exercise of
warrants and potentially through future common share private
placements.

Management hopes to realize sufficient sales in future years to
achieve profitable operations, specifically by fully launching the
products offered by the company's subsidiary Nectar Services Corp.
and eliminating the current resource burden of that entity on the
company.  

The resolution of the going concern issue is dependent upon the
realization of management's plans.  There can be no assurance
provided that the company will be able to raise sufficient debt or
equity capital on satisfactory terms.  If management is
unsuccessful in obtaining financing or achieving profitable
operations, the company may be required to cease operations.

The company incurred research and development expenditures of
$642,398 for the year ended Dec. 31, 2007, related to the
development of the Nectar Services Corp. carrier services
platforms (i.e. managed and carrier services).  Management expects
to continue to incur these expenditures into the foreseeable
future.

At Dec. 31, 2007, the company's balance sheet showed $6,462,726 in
total assets and $8,885,547 in total liabilities, resulting in a
$2,422,821 stockholders' deficit.  

The company's consolidated balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2007, also
showed strained liquidity with $4,674,837 in total current assets
available to pay $4,872,667 in total current liabilities.

JUPITER HIGH: Fitch Cuts Rating for Seven Classes of Certificates
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch has downgraded and removed from Rating Watch Negative seven
classes of notes issued by Jupiter High Grade CDO VII Ltd. and
Jupiter High-Grade CDO VII Inc.  These rating actions are the
result of Fitch's review process and are effective immediately:

  -- $1,032,814,556 class A-1 notes downgraded to 'CC' from 'BBB';
  -- $150,000,000 class A-2 notes downgraded to 'C' from 'BB-';
  -- $150,000,000 class A-3 notes downgraded to 'C' from 'B';
  -- $80,000,000 class A-4 notes downgraded to 'C' from 'B-';
  -- $20,000,000 class A-5 notes downgraded to 'C' from 'CCC';
  -- $21,203,165 class B notes downgraded to 'C' from 'CC';
  -- $10,766,457 class C notes downgraded to 'C' from 'CC'.

Fitch's rating actions reflect the collateral deterioration within
the portfolio, specifically subprime residential mortgage backed
securities, and structured finance collateralized debt obligations
with underlying exposure to subprime RMBS.

Jupiter VII is a cash CDO that closed on Aug. 2, 2007, and is
managed by Maxim Advisory LLC.  On Nov. 30, 2007, Jupiter VII
entered an Event of Default due to a breach of the Class A
Principal Coverage test.  On Feb. 6, 2008, the majority of
noteholders voted to terminate the reinvestment period and to
accelerate the transaction.

Presently, 46.1% of the portfolio is comprised of 2006 and 2007
vintage U.S. subprime RMBS, 8% is comprised of 2005, 2006, and
2007 vintage U.S. Alternative-A RMBS, and 23.5% consists of 2006,
and 2007 vintage U.S. SF CDOs.  Additionally, 15.6% of the
portfolio is comprised of prime RMBS and a small percentage of the
portfolio consists of commercial mortgage-backed securities and
commercial asset-backed securities.

Since the last rating action in November 2007, 80% of the
portfolio has been downgraded with an additional 34.8% of the
portfolio currently on Rating Watch Negative.  Approximately 74%
of the portfolio is now rated below investment grade, of which 66%
is rated 'CCC+' or below.  As per the latest trustee report dated
June 30, 2008, defaulted and deferred interest payment in kind
securities constitute 37.5%, or $562.8 million, of the portfolio
total.  The negative credit migration experienced since the last
review has resulted in the Weighted Average Rating Factor
deteriorating to 'BB-/B+' as of the last trustee report from
'AA/AA-'during the last review, breaching its covenant of 1.28
('AA-/A+').

The collateral deterioration has caused each of the
overcollateralization ratios to fall below 100% and fail their
respective test levels.  As of the latest trustee report, the
class A OC ratio was 50.45%, the class B OC ratio was 49.71%, and
the class C OC ratio was 49.34% versus triggers of 101.0%, 100.8%,
and 100.8%.  Class A-1 is receiving interest payments and all
other interest and principal proceeds are then used to redeem
class A-1 principal.  Fitch expects class A-1 to continue to
receive timely interest payments, however, projects only partial
recovery of the principal.  Classes A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5, B, and C
are currently not receiving interest or principal payments.  Fitch
does not expect these classes to receive any payments in the
future.

The ratings of the class A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, and A-5 notes address
the timely receipt of scheduled interest payments and the ultimate
receipt of principal by the legal final maturity date as per the
transaction's governing documents.  The ratings of the class B and
C notes address the ultimate receipt of interest payments and the
ultimate receipt of principal by the legal final maturity date as
per the transaction's governing documents.  The ratings are based
upon the capital structure of the transaction, the quality of the
collateral, and the protections incorporated within the structure.

Fitch is reviewing its SF CDO approach and will comment separately
on any changes and potential rating impact at a later date.

Fitch will continue to monitor and review this transaction for
future rating adjustments.


LA BONITA: Gets Initial Approval to Use SunTrust's Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Michael G. Williamson of the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Middle District of Florida authorized La Bonita Ole,
Inc., to use, in an interim basis, cash collateral of SunTrust
Bank, N.A., until Oct. 8, 2008.

A hearing is set for Sept. 10, 2008, at 9:30 a.m., to consider
final approval of the Debtor's request.

The Debtor owes at least $3,053,733 in loan under four different
loan agreements, which is composed of:

   a) a $534,236 line of credit;
   b) $900,000 SunTrust Loan No. 281;
   c) $167,936 SunTrust Loan No. 299; and
   d) $1,542,591 SunTrust Loan No. 216.

The The bank asserted perfected first priority security interest
on substantially all of the Debtor's assets including cash
collateral.

The proceeds of the cash collateral will be used to fund operating
expenses necessary to continue operations of the Debtor's
business.

As adequate protection, the bank will be granted a first priority
perfected security interest in all of the Debtor's assets, among
other things.

The Debtor prepared a cash flow projection from Aug. 8, 2008, to
Oct. 8, 2008, which is available for free at:

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Fitch Lowers B+ Rating for $9.2MM Class N Cert
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded two classes of Lehman Brothers-UBS
commercial mortgage pass- through certificates , series 2006-C1
as:

  -- $9.2 million class M to 'BB-' from 'BB';

  -- $9.2 million class N to 'B+' from 'BB-' .

In addition, Fitch has affirmed these classes:

  -- $36.9 million class A-1 at 'AAA';

  -- $326 million class A-2 at 'AAA';

  -- $92 million class A-3 at 'AAA';

  -- $94 million class A-AB at 'AAA';

  -- $1.14 billion class A-4 at 'AAA';

  -- $245.6 million class A-M at 'AAA';

  -- $221 million class A-J at 'AAA';

  -- Interest-only class X-CL at 'AAA';

  -- Interest-only class X-CP at 'AAA';

  -- $15.4 million class B at 'AA+';

  -- $27.6 million class C at 'AA';

  -- $24.6 million class D at 'AA-';

  -- $18.4 million class E at 'A+';

  -- $21.5 million class F at 'A';

  -- $21.5 million class G at 'A-';

  -- $24.6 million class H at 'BBB+';

  -- $18.4 million class J at 'BBB';

  -- $24.6 million class K at 'BBB-';

  -- $12.3 million class L at 'BB+';

  -- $7 million class IUU-1 at 'BBB+';

  -- $2.6 million class IUU-2 at 'BBB';

  -- $3.6 million class IUU-3 at 'BBB-';

  -- $1.9 million class IUU-4 at 'BB+';

  -- $1.3 million class IUU-5 at 'BB';

  -- $900,000 class IUU-6 at 'BB-';

  -- $1 million class IUU-7 at 'B+';

  -- $1 million class IUU-8 at 'B';

  -- $1.1 million class IUU-9 at 'B-'.

Fitch does not rate the $6.1 million class P; $6.1 million class
Q; $6.1 million class S; $24.6 million class T; or, $6.9 million
class IUU-10 certificates.

The downgrades reflect the expected losses on six assets that are
in special servicing (1.14%). The rating affirmations are due to
sufficient credit enhancement and stable performance of the non
specially serviced loans. As of the August 2008 distribution date,
the pool's aggregate certificate balance has decreased 1.10% to
$2.45 billion from $2.48 billion at issuance.

There are currently six specially serviced assets (1.14%), five of
which are real estate owned (REO) (0.60%) or in foreclosure
(0.30%) and are currently being marketed for sale. Three of the
specially serviced assets (0.60%) are multi-family properties that
had the same borrower who was unable to properly manage the
properties, in addition to the properties performance being
negatively impacted by their locations in or near Detroit, MI.
Current listing prices for these properties are well below the
outstanding debt amounts, and losses are expected.

The largest specially serviced loan is the Country Inn and Suites
located in Omaha, NE (0.25%). The loan is current and the borrower
is looking for approval for a new guaranty to cover the completion
of the mandated property improvements required by the Franchisor,
and is seeking a nine-month forbearance to pay past due charges.

At issuance, Fitch shadow rated the following seven loans (33.1%):
1301 Avenue of the Americas; Triangle Town Center; Courtyard by
Marriott portfolio; One Financial; Intel Corporate Center; U-Haul
26 portfolio; and, U-Haul SAC portfolio. These loans maintain
their investment grade credit assessments based on stable
performance and occupancy levels since issuance.

1301 Avenue of the Americas is the largest loan in the transaction
(17.1%). The property was recently purchased and the loan was
assumed by Paramount Group, Inc. from Harry Macklowe. The building
is located in the heart of Manhattan's midtown office district
within the Sixth Avenue/Rockefeller Center submarket. At issuance
the property was 99.3% occupied. As of YE 2007, the servicer
reported debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) and occupancy were
3.34x and 100%, respectively. The loan matures on Jan. 11, 2016.

The transaction has minimal near-term maturity risk as only 9.15%
of the loans mature in 2010, and 72.6% mature in 2015-2016.


LEINER HEALTH: Judge Carey Approves Disclosure Statement
--------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Kevin J. Carey of the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware approved a disclosure statement
explaining the joint Chapter 11 plan of liquidation filed by
Leiner Health Products Inc. and its debtor-affiliates on July 18,
2008.  He held that the disclosure statement contains adequate
information within the meaning of Section 1125 of the Bankruptcy
Code.

Judge Carey also approved procedures the Debtors proposed for the
solicitation and tabulation of plan votes.  Deadline for voting on
the plan is Sept. 26, 2008, at 5:00 p.m.

A hearing is set for Oct. 7, 2008, at 1:30 p.m., to consider
confirmation of the plan.  Objections, if any, are due Sept. 26,
2008.

                      Overview of the Plan

The plan contemplates the liquidation of the each of the
Debtors' assets, the appointment of a liquidating trustee, and the
creation of a three-member liquidating trust committee, which
consist of one representative selected by the Debtors and two
members appointed by the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors.

Furthermore, the plan provides the creation of a liquidating trust
for, among other things, (i) resolving all disputed claims, (ii)
pursuing the causes of action, and (iii) making all distribution
to the beneficiaries provided under the plan.

                     Asset Sale & Settlements

On July 14, 2008, NBTY Inc., the designated stalking-horse bidder,
completed the sale of the Debtors' assets for $371,000,000 in
cash, plus the assumption of about $30,000,000 of trade payables
and a purchase price adjustment.  According to court documents,
the sale proceeds may be sufficient to satisfy the claims of the
Debtors' senior secured lender in full, but it may not be enough
to provide a recovery to unsecured creditors.

Before the closing of the sale, the Court approved the Debtors'
proposed assets sale incentive program to pay $24,000,000 in
bonuses to nine insiders, who are members of the Debtors' senior
management team, pursuant to an asset sale incentive program dated
April 1, 2008.  However, the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors asked the Court to reduce the amount of bonuses to
$10,000,000, which is to be awarded to the insiders.

As a result, the Debtors filed on July 10, 2008, a settlement
agreement before the Court seeking to approve, among other
things:

   i) the payment of at most $8,000,000 that may result in an
      reallocation of the proceeds of the incentive program to
      ensure a guaranteed minimum distribution to holders of
      unsecured claims, and

  ii) the payment of at least $249,500,000 of the allowed secured
      lender claims

                  Debtor-In-Possession Financing

On April 8, 2008, the Court authorized the Debtors to obtain, on a
final basis, up to $74,000,000 in postpetition financing from UBS
AG, Standford Branch, as issuing bank and administrative agent;
UBS Securities LLC and General Electric Capital Corporation as
joint lead arrangers; UBS Securities LLC as sole book-runner,
syndication agent and documentation agent; UBS Loan Finance LLC as
swingline lender.

The committed $74,000,000 financing was comprised of (a) a
$18,000,000 term A loan facility; (b) a $44,000,000 term B loan
facility; and (c) a $12,000,000 revolving loan facility including
availability for letters of credit and swingline loans.

On July 14, 2008, the DIP facility was terminated after the Debtor
paid in full the claims under the DIP agreement.

The Debtors asked the Court to further extend their exclusive
periods to (i) file a Chapter 11 plan until Sept. 30, 2008, and
(ii) solicit acceptances of that plan until Nov. 30, 2008.  A
hearing is set for July 30, 2008, to consider the Debtors'
request.

The plan classifies interests against and claims in the Debtors in
five classes.  The classification of interests and claims are:

                 Treatment of Interests and Claims

              Type                        Estimated     Estimated
Class         of Claims        Treatment  Amount        Recovery
-----         ---------        ---------  ----------    ---------
unclassified  administrative              $5,333,499    100%
               claims

unclassified  priority tax                $885,792      100%
               claims

unclassified  other priority                            100%  
               claims

1             secured lender   impaired   $285,538,106  100%
               claims

2             other secured    unimpaired $343,438      100%
               claims

3             general          impaired   $211,886,293  6%
               unsecured
               claims

4             cancelled        impaired   $139,239,126  0%
               intercompany
               claims

5             equity interest  impaired   --            0%

Class 1 and 3 are entitled to vote for the plan.  Under Chapter 7
liquidation, Class 1 is expected to recover between 18% and 26%,
while Class 3 will get nothing.

Administrative, priority tax and other priority claims will be
paid in full.

Holder of Class 1 secured lender claims will receive on behalf of
itself and the senior secured lenders payment in cash equal to the
full amount of the allowed secured lender claim.

Each holder of Class 2 other secured claims will get receive
either (i) the collateral secured the claims, or (ii) cash in an
amount equal to the value of the claims, but not exceeding the
value of the collateral securing the claim.

Each holder of Class 3 general unsecured claims will receive in
full its pro rata share of the liquidating trust fund.

Class 4 and 5 will not receive any distribution on account of
their claims under the plan.

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

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