About BH S&B
BH S&B Holdings LLC filed for bankruptcy protection together with
seven other affiliates on Nov. 19, 2008 (Bankr. S.D. N.Y. Lead
Case No. 08-14604). The seven debtor-affiliates are BH S&B
Distribution LLC, BH S&B Lico LLC, BH S&B Retail LLC, BHY S&B
Intermediate Holdco LLC, Cubicle Licensing LLC, Fashion Plate
Licensing LLC, and Heritage Licensing LLC.
BH S&B was formed by investment firms Bay Harbour Management and
York Capital Management in August 2008 to acquire the business
operations and assets of bankrupt retailer Steve & Barry's for
$163 million in August 2008. Steve and Barry's, based in Port
Washington, New York, was a specialty retailer of apparel and
accessories, selling, among other things, university apparel and
lifestyle brands, private-label casual clothing, and exclusive
celebrity endorsed apparel.
Steve & Barry's had 240 locations when it was bought and the new
owners had planned to cut that down to 173 stores. BH S&B had
intended to operate certain Steve & Barry's stores as going
concerns and to liquidate inventory at other locations. Since the
sale closing, however, for various reasons, including the general
health of the American economy and the state of the retail market
in particular, sales at all stores have been disappointing, and BH
S&B's revenue has suffered. As a result, BH S&B was not in
compliance with certain covenants under their senior secured
credit facility and had no prospects for continued financing of
their business as a going concern. In consultation with its
lenders, BH S&B decided the appropriate course of action to
maximize value for the benefit of all of its stakeholders was an
orderly liquidation in Chapter 11.
Bay Harbour Management is an SEC registered investment advisor
with significant experience in purchasing distressed companies
and effectuating their turnaround. The firm's holdings have
included the retailer Barneys New York, the facilities based CLEC
Telcove, and the former Aladdin Casino, now operating on the Las
Vegas strip as the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino following
its rebranding and turnaround.
York Capital Management is an SEC registered investment advisor
with offices in New York, London, and Hong Kong with more than
$15 billion in assets under management. York Capital was founded
in 1991 and specializes in value oriented and event driven equity
and credit investments.
BH S&B is 100% owned by BHY S&B Intermediate Holdco LLC.
BH S&B and its affiliates' chapter 11 cases are presided over by
the Honorable Martin Glenn. Joel H. Levitin, Esq., and Richard A.
Stieglitz, Jr., Esq., at Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, in New York,
serve as bankruptcy counsel to BH S&B and its affiliates. RAS
Management Advisors LLC acts as restructuring advisors, and
Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as claims and notice agent.

FRONTIER AIRLINES: Files Monthly Operating Report for February
--------------------------------------------------------------
On March 24, 2009, Frontier Airlines Holdings filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court of New York its monthly operating report for the
month ending February 28, 2009. Frontier Airlines issued this
press release:
Frontier Airlines Holdings, Inc., reported an operating profit
of $1.5 million for the month of February, Frontier's fourth
consecutive monthly operating profit. Frontier also reported a
consolidated net loss of $3.2 million for the month. The
results were filed in the company's Monthly Operating Report
for February 2009.
Excluding non-cash mark-to-market fuel hedge transactions,
Frontier would have reported an operating loss of $2.6 million.
Further, excluding reorganization costs, the company would have
reported a consolidated net loss of $4.8 million.
Frontier's February financial results included:
-- Reorganization costs of $2.6 million
-- A realized loss on fuel hedge contracts of $4.5 million,
which was almost completely offset by a mark-to-market gain
of $4.1 million on fuel hedging activity
Operational results for the month of February included:
-- A 15.4 percent year-over-year mainline capacity reduction
-- Mainline unit cost excluding fuel (CASM ex-fuel) of 6.45
cents, a 5.5 percent reduction from the previous year
-- Mainline total unit cost of 8.67 cents, a reduction of 13.0
percent compared to February 2008
-- Mainline passenger revenue (PRASM) of 8.26 cents, down 3.7
percent from the prior year
-- Mainline total unit revenue (RASM) 9.09 cents, 1.1 percent
lower than February 2008
"February is a tough month for all airlines," said Frontier
president and chief executive officer Sean Menke, "but despite
the anticipated seasonal reduction in traffic, the short 28-day
month and the severely weakened economy, our ability to
restructure our business allows us to produce very positive
results in an extremely difficult economic environment. The
continuing trend of significant year-over-year improvement in
our operating results is a clear indicator that the aggressive
cost reductions we've implemented and our additional revenue
initiatives have positioned us very well to meet the challenges
of these difficult times."
Menke pointed to the 5-plus percent decrease in the company's
costs excluding fuel on a year-over-year basis despite a more
than 15 percent reduction in capacity as proof that "the
fundamentals of this company are solid." He said that the
February results and those of the previous three months ]
"provide a positive backdrop for our discussions with potential
investors as we seek to secure financing to emerge from
bankruptcy later this year."

GREEKTOWN HOLDINGS: Amends Monthly Operating Report for December
----------------------------------------------------------------
Greektown Holdings, LLC, and its affiliates amended the monthly
operating report of Greektown Casino LLC for the period ended
December 31, 2008, to reflect certain audit adjustments, which
were recorded subsequent to the preparation of the MOR.
Specifically, these adjustments were recorded:
(1) Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets must be
reviewed for impairment at least annually or more
frequently if impairment indicators are present. In the
fourth quarter of 2008, Casino determined that the general
decline in consumer spending as a result of the
deteriorating economic conditions in the United States and
the resulting impact on the gaming markets negatively
affected the Company's projected results of operations.
Given the current uncertainties in the gaming markets,
coupled with the Company's bankruptcy filing, management
determined that the Casino Development Rights of the
Company were impaired. Accordingly, during December 2008,
the Debtors impaired the asset in its entirety. As a
result, Casino recorded an impairment charge of
$128,240,446 in its statement of operations.
(2) Casino increased its reserve for bad debt and decreased
other revenue by $146,906 related to rent due from one of
it former tenants, Sweet Georgia Brown. The tenant was
recently evicted and it was determined that the
outstanding rent was uncollectible. As a result, Casino
recorded the charge.
The Debtors note that the MORs of Greektown Holdings LLC, Monroe
Partners LLC and Kewadin Greektown Casino LLC for the period
ended December 31, 2008 have been amended to reflect the flow
through of the amendments made at the Casino level.

*********
Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par. Prices are
obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources during
the prior week we think are reliable. Those sources may not,
however, be complete or accurate. The Monday Bond Pricing table
is compiled on the Friday prior to publication. Prices reported
are not intended to reflect actual trades. Prices for actual
trades are probably different. Our objective is to share
information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or
sell any security of any kind. It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers'
public debt and equity securities about which we report.
Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $3 per
share in public markets. At first glance, this list may look like
the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled. Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets. A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize. The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.
A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Wednesday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged. Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com/
On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed chapter 11
cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and liabilities
delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts. The list includes links
to freely downloadable images of these small-dollar petitions in
Acrobat PDF format.
Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals. All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com. Go to
http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today.
Monthly Operating Reports are summarized in every Saturday edition
of the TCR.
The Sunday TCR delivers securitization rating news from the week
then-ending.
For copies of court documents filed in the District of Delaware,
