4KIDS ENTERTAINMENT: Court Rules Yu-Gi-Oh! is Debtor's Asset
------------------------------------------------------------
4Kids Entertainment, Inc., disclosed that the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York ruled in favor of
4Kids in the first phase of the trial of the lawsuit brought by
the licensors of the Yu-Gi-Oh! property, Asatsu-DK Inc. and TV
Tokyo Corporation, against 4Kids.

In its 154-page decision, the Court ruled that the Yu-Gi-Oh!
property license agreement between the Plaintiffs and 4Kids was
not effectively terminated by the Plaintiffs prior to the 4Kids'
bankruptcy filing on April 6, 2011; rather, the Yu-Gi-Oh!
Agreement remains in full force and effect and is property of the
4Kids' bankrupt estate.  In addition, the Court's opinion
carefully considered each of the Plaintiffs' nine audit findings
totaling over $4.8 million and concluded that audit findings
totaling approximately 99% of the amount claimed by the Plaintiffs
were "meritless."  The remaining two audit claims totaling
$47,825, which 4Kids does not dispute, were offset by the roughly
$1.8 million credit balance in favor of 4Kids as of
March 24, 2011, the date that the Plaintiffs sent 4Kids the notice
of termination.

The decision also questioned the Plaintiffs' "good faith" in
purporting to terminate the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement on the basis of
dubious audit claims and dismissed the Plaintiffs' breach of trust
allegation against 4Kids commenting that "if anyone is the victim
of a breach of trust in this matter it is 4Kids."  The second
phase of the trial to determine the damages payable to 4Kids
arising from Plaintiffs' purported termination of the Yu-Gi-Oh!
Agreement has not been scheduled but is expected to commence as
early as the first quarter of 2012.

"We are very pleased with the Court's decision which confirms that
the Plaintiffs' purported termination of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Agreement
was wrongful and that the Plaintiffs' audit claims were baseless,"
said Michael Goldstein, interim Chairman of 4Kids. "We are hopeful
that members of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Consortium will take note of the
Court's detailed findings and work with 4Kids to put this matter
behind us so that all parties can work together constructively for
the continued success of the Yu-Gi-Oh! brand.  We would also like
to thank our many clients and business partners for their support
and understanding," concluded Goldstein.

the license and force 4Kids out of business.

appointed three members to the official committee of unsecured
creditors in the Chapter 11 cases.  Hahn & Hessen LLP serves as
counsel to the Committee.  The Committee tapped Epiq Bankruptcy

AFFINITY GROUP: Extends Payments of AGRP Holding Promissory Note
----------------------------------------------------------------
Good Sam Enterprises, LLC, formerly known as Affinity Group, Inc.,
on Dec. 29, 2011, amended a promissory note dated Dec. 5, 2001, in
the original amount of $4,835,000 issued by AGRP Holding Corp., a
corporation controlled by Stephen Adams who indirectly owns a
controlling interest in the Company.  The Note was made in
connection with the sale of certain real estate by the Company to
AGRP and the leaseback of the AGRP Sites pursuant to leases with
unexpired terms of 15 years or more.  The Company and AGRP are
also parties to a management agreement dated Dec. 6, 2001,
pursuant to which the Company agreed to manage the AGRP Sites on
behalf of AGRP and AGRP agreed to pay the Company a management fee
equal in amount to the difference between the base rent payable
under the Leases and the amount of AGRP's debt service for the
AGRP Sites.  AGRP's debt service was scheduled to increase on
Jan. 1, 2012, by $506,563 annually, which would have resulted in
an increase in net rent of $506,563 annually.

In consideration of AGRP's agreement to amend the Management
Agreement to provide that the Management Fee payable to the
Company by AGRP will not be reduced on account of changes in debt
service on AGRP's indebtedness, the amendment to the Note extends
all payments of principal and interest on the Note until maturity,
whether by acceleration or otherwise, of the Company's 11.50%
Senior Secured Notes Due 2016.

                           *     *     *

Affinity Group Inc. carries 'B3' long term corporate family and
probability of default ratings, with 'stable' outlook, from
Moody's Investors Service.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on November 9, 2010,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned Affinity Group Inc.'s
proposed $325 million senior secured notes due 2016 its
preliminary 'B-' issue-level rating.  Following the close of the
proposed transaction, S&P expects to assign a 'B-' corporate
credit rating to Affinity Group Inc., and withdraw S&P's current
'D' corporate credit rating on Affinity Group Holding Inc.  A
portion of the proceeds of the new notes will be used, in
conjunction with cash contributions from Holding's parent, to
repay in full $88 million of senior notes that are currently
outstanding at Holding.

S&P said the expected 'B-'corporate credit rating on Affinity
Group reflects S&P's expectation that, following the proposed
refinancing transaction, adjusted debt leverage will be reduced by
about 1x, the company will not have any meaningful near-term debt
maturities, and the company will generate some discretionary cash
flow (albeit minimal).  Still, credit measures will remain
relatively weak, as adjusted debt leverage will remain above 6.0x
(S&P's operating lease adjustment adds about a turn to leverage),
and S&P expects interest coverage to remain in the low- to mid-
1.0x area over the intermediate term.


AM CASTLE: S&P Assigns 'B+' Corp. Credit Rating; Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B+' corporate
credit rating to Oak Brook, Ill.-based A.M. Castle & Co. (Castle).
"At the same time, we assigned a 'B+' issue-level rating to
Castle's $225 million 12.75% senior secured notes due 2016. The
recovery rating is '4', indicating our expectation of average (30%
to 50%) recovery in the event of a payment default. The outlook is
stable," S&P said.

The notes were sold pursuant to Rule 144A with registration
rights. Proceeds from the financing, combined with the sale of a
$50 million 7% convertible note offering due 2017 (not rated),
were used to fund the $165 million purchase of Tube Supply Inc.,
repay Castle's existing debt, and fund associated transaction fees
and expenses.

"The corporate credit rating on Castle reflects our view of the
company's business risk profile as 'weak' and financial risk
profile as 'aggressive' (as our criteria define the terms). These
assessments are based on its relatively modest size; its exposure
to volatile metal prices; a high dependence on the cyclical oil,
gas, and aerospace end markets for a large portion of its
earnings; and its relatively aggressive financial policy," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Gayle Bowerman. "Still, we
believe the company maintains some end-market diversity, has long-
standing supplier relationships, faces minimal capital expenditure
requirements, and possesses the ability to generate cash from
working capital during periods of soft end markets. Castle
is also currently benefiting from favorable end market demand in
the energy and aerospace sectors."

"The rating and outlook incorporate our expectation that Castle's
2012 EBITDA, which includes the contribution from recently
acquired Tube Supply, is likely to be $90 million to $100 million.
This uses our base case scenario, which calls for slow growth in
the U.S. economy overall but assumes sustained growth in the
company's key end markets. We estimate that Castle's adjusted debt
to EBITDA should be below 4x and funds from operations (FFO) to
adjusted debt should be about 12% in 2012, assuming adjusted debt
is maintained below $400 million," S&P said.

"We view Castle's financial risk profile as aggressive, reflecting
its volatile earnings and cash flow during a cycle. Prices for the
company's raw materials, both metals and plastics, are also
volatile. Although the company intends to secure a stable material
margin, failure to adjust its operating cost or pass through raw
material price changes to customers on a timely basis can pressure
short-term profitability. This was evidenced by the weak margins
in 2009 when product prices and demand declined rapidly while the
company still held high-cost metals inventory. Likewise, lower
volumes in a down cycle can also result in lower earnings," S&P
said.

Castle generated about $1.1 billion of revenue and $43 million of
adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2011.
Approximately 50% of revenues are on a transactional basis and
consist mostly of standardized products; the balance is non-
transactional or program sales designed to meet customer
specifications and may include value-added services such as
thermal treatment, cutting, and grinding. Roughly 90% of its
revenues are generated in North America. The company's competitors
include large national service centers, smaller independent
producers and processors and, to a lesser degree, integrated mills
and mini-mills.

"The stable rating outlook reflects our expectation that Castle's
near-term operating performance will benefit from slowly improving
economic conditions and relatively strong performance in its key
end markets. In addition, we expect the acquisition of Tube Supply
will improve Castle's scale and expand its product offering. As a
result, we expect credit measures to remain in-line with our view
of its aggressive financial risk profile at this point in the
cycle, with adjusted debt to EBITDA of 3x to 4x and FFO to
adjusted debt of 10% to 15%. We also expect the company to
maintain adequate liquidity to fund its obligations," S&P said.

"A negative rating action could occur if operating results
deteriorate due to a significant weakening in demand from the
company's key end markets," Ms. Bowerman continued, "specifically
if total adjusted debt leverage rises above 4.5x. If Castle were
to pursue a large debt-financed acquisition, the rating could come
under downward pressure."

"We consider a positive rating action less likely in the coming
months, given Castle's weak business risk profile arising from its
exposure to raw materials price volatility, cyclical end-market
demand, and competitive product markets. However, a positive
rating action could occur if the company were to reduce and
sustain debt leverage below 3x while at the same time
strengthening its business risk profile by improving its operating
diversity, size, and earnings stability," S&P said.


AMBASSADORS INT'L: Windstar Given Nod for Whippoorwill Settlement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the former owner of Windstar Cruises overcame
objections from the creditors' committee at a Jan. 4 hearing and
prevailed on the judge to approve a settlement with secured
creditor Whippoorwill Associates Inc.

The report relates that under the settlement, Whippoorwill will
provide $500,000 toward payment of professional fees. Whippoorwill
will release claims against the company and in return will receive
a release of claims and dismissal of the committee's lawsuit.
Later, the Chapter 11 case will be dismissed or converted to a
liquidation in Chapter 7.

Mr. Rochelle recounts that the creditors' committee had sued
Whippoorwill, contending it controlled Windstar, fabricated the
basis for an otherwise unnecessary Chapter 11 filing, and arranged
the sale so the price would be enough to cover the debt it was
owed plus counsel fees, "but not a dollar more."

As of April 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $8,000,000 of
cash, approximately $8,900,000 of availability for additional
borrowings and $46,100,000 outstanding on the credit facility
under the BofA Credit Agreement and $1,400,000 of availability for
additional borrowings and $4,000,000 outstanding on the credit
facility under the Bank of Montreal Credit Agreement.  As May 10,
2011, the Company had approximately $5,941,000 available for
borrowing under the BofA Credit Agreement and $1,481,000 available
under the Bank of Montreal Credit Agreement.

American Apparel reported a net loss of $86.31 million on
$532.99 million of net sales for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010,
compared with net income of $1.11 million on $558.77 million of
net sales during the prior year.

The Company also reported a net loss of $28.15 million on $389.76
million of net sales for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011,
compared with a net loss of $67.01 million on $389.02 million of
net sales for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed $323.64
million in total assets, $267.51 million in total liabilities and
$56.12 million in total stockholders' equity.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

The Company incurred a loss from operations of $20,942 for the
nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011, compared to a loss from
operations of $38,167 for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2010.
The current operating plan indicates that losses from operations
will be incurred for all of fiscal 2011.  Consequently, the
Company may not have sufficient liquidity necessary to sustain
operations for the next twelve months and this raises substantial
doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going
concern.

There can be no assurance that management's plan to improve its
operating performance and financial position will be successful or
that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on
commercially reasonable terms or at all.  As a result, the
Company's liquidity and ability to timely pay its obligations when
due could be adversely affected.  Any new financing also may be
substantially dilutive to existing stockholders and may require
reductions in exercise prices or other adjustments of the
Company's existing warrants.  Furthermore, the Company's vendors
and landlords may resist renegotiation or lengthening of payment
and other terms through legal action or otherwise.  If the Company
is not able to timely, successfully or efficiently implement the
strategies that it is pursuing to improve its operating
performance and financial position, obtain alternative sources of
capital or otherwise meet its liquidity needs, the Company may
need to voluntarily seek protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code.


AMERIGAS PARTNERS: Moody's Rates $1.55-Bil. New Notes at 'Ba2'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba2 rating to AmeriGas
Partners, L.P.'s proposed $1.55 billion of new notes. At the same
time Moody's affirmed Amerigas' Ba2 Corporate Family Rating (CFR),
Ba2 Probability of Default Rating and the Ba3 rating on the
existing 6.25% and 6.50% senior unsecured notes. The outlook is
stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Net proceeds from the offering will be used to fund the cash
component of the acquisition price for Energy Transfer Partners,
L.P.'s (ETP, Baa3, negative) propane operations (Heritage
Operating, L.P. and Titan Energy Partners, LLC - collectively
"Heritage"). The new notes will be co-issued by two wholly-owned
finance subsidiaries of AmeriGas, AmeriGas Finance Corp. and
AmeriGas Finance LLC (Fin LLC). Fin LLC will then loan the note
proceeds to AmeriGas pursuant to an intercompany loan, the terms
of which will mirror the notes. ETP will enter into a contingent
residual support agreement (CRSA) with AmeriGas, Fin LLC and UGI
Corporation to support these intercompany loans contingent upon a
number of events.

The new senior unsecured notes are rated Ba2,one notch above the
existing senior unsecured notes (Ba3). The one notch differential
reflects the CRSA provided by ETP through the inter-company loan
structure. In the event of an AmeriGas default, once all remedies
against AmeriGas have been exhausted following a bankruptcy
proceeding, Fin LLC will have the right to claim any unpaid inter-
company loan principal amount from ETP.

Apart from the CRSA, the new notes have substantially similar
terms and conditions as AmeriGas's existing 6.25% notes and 6.50%
notes. The new notes as well as the existing notes (together
"senior notes") do not have upstream subsidiary guarantees and are
unsecured. While the $325 million credit facility at the operating
partnership, AmeriGas Propane, L.P (OLP) is also unsecured, the
senior notes are structurally subordinated to all debt, including
trade claims, of the OLP. The credit facility will be upsized to
approximately $500 million as the Heritage acquisition is
conditioned on AmeriGas increasing its facility commitment amount
prior to closing. Under Moody's Loss Given Default (LGD)
methodology, the structural subordination of the senior notes and
the size of the senior unsecured facilitu's potential claim to the
OLP's assets results in the 6.25% and 6.50% notes being notched
one rating below the Ba2 CFR to Ba3. The new $1.5 billion senior
notes are rated Ba2 as described above.

The stable outlook reflects AmeriGas's leading market position,
broadly diversified geographic presence, and Moody's expectation
that the company will look to reduce leverage towards its
historically conservative levels.

If AmeriGas can successfully integrate Heritage's operations and
achieve moderate growth in EBITDA leading to Debt/EBITDA
approaching 3.5x, the ratings could be upgraded.

The ratings could be downgraded if leverage rises from post-
acquisition levels through debt funded acquisitions or
distributions or a fundamental change in business conditions. A
downgrade could occur if leverage rises above 4.5x.

The principal methodology used in rating AmeriGas Partners was the
Global Midstream Energy Industry Methodology, published December
2010. Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for
Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and
EMEA published in June 2009.

AmeriGas Partners, L.P. is a publicly traded master limited
partnership that is the largest retail propane distributor in the
United States based on volumes of propane distributed annually.

The TSX delisting was to occur by Jan. 19, 2012, and was imposed
due to (i) the Fund's difficult financial condition, including its

the trading price of the Fund's units has been so reduced as to
not warrant continued listing.

AUTOCHINA INT'L: Appeals Nasdaq Suspension, Submits Required Data
-----------------------------------------------------------------
AutoChina International Limited continues to provide necessary
information to the appeals panel at the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Since Oct. 4, 2011, the Company's shares have been suspended from
trading on Nasdaq and have traded on the OTC Pink market.
On Dec. 1, 2011, the Company appeared before a Nasdaq hearing
panel to appeal the suspension and subsequently submitted
information requested by the panel.  The Company is waiting for a
decision from the panel.  There is no assurance that the Company
will succeed in appealing Nasdaq's delisting determination.

The Company also disclosed that it is continuing to work with its
legal counsel and advisors regarding the Securities and Exchange
Commission's investigation of AutoChina.  As previously reported
and voluntarily disclosed by AutoChina in a press release on
June 30, 2011, and in its Form 20-F for the year ended Dec. 31,
2010, AutoChina and one of its officers received subpoenas for
information as part a non-public inquiry.  The Company's legal
counsel subsequently received a notification, commonly referred to
as a "Wells Notice," from the Staff of the SEC related to trading
activity in the Company's ordinary shares and Section 13(k) of the
Exchange Act.

The Wells Notice indicates that the Staff is considering
recommending to the SEC that the SEC file a civil injunction
action against the Company and certain AutoChina officers.  Under
the SEC's procedures, the Wells Notice afforded the Company an
opportunity to present information and defenses in response to the
allegations in the Wells Notice prior to the Staff making a formal
recommendation on whether any action should be authorized.
AutoChina has submitted a response to the Wells Notice.  While the
Company voluntarily provided information beyond that formally
requested by the SEC staff in an effort to assist in an
expeditious conclusion of the staff's investigation, it cannot
predict with certainty the extent of its ultimate liability, if
any, with respect to the investigation and any or all future
securities matters.

BERNARD L. MADOFF: Feeder Fund Investors Can't File Separate Claim
------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. District Judge Denise Cote in Manhattan ruled Thursday that
people who invested with Bernard Madoff through feeder funds can't
seek to recover their lost investments from the bankruptcy estate.

The Wall Street Journal's Chad Bray reports that Judge Cote's
decision upholds a prior determination by Irving Picard, the
trustee for Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, that a group
of about 1,700 investors in 16 feeder funds were ineligible to
separately file claims against the Madoff bankruptcy estate.  A
bankruptcy judge agreed with the trustee's conclusions in June.

According to The Journal report, Judge Cote said the investors
didn't have investments in their own names at the Madoff firm, nor
did the firm directly "receive, acquire or possess" any property
of the investors.  As a result, they didn't qualify as customers
under the Securities Investor Protection Act -- which governs the
liquidation of brokerage firms -- and were ineligible to seek a
recovery.

The Journal report notes the investors had argued the Madoff
trustee has alleged the feeder funds were "partners," "co-
conspirators" or "aiders-and-abettors" of Mr. Madoff's fraud
through their solicitation of investor money.  As a result, the
investors directly entrusted their funds to Mr. Madoff's firm and
were owed a fiduciary duty by the firm, they claimed.

Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News, notes
that Judge Cote's opinion is important because individual
investors in feeder funds stand to realize a smaller recovery if
their claims must be made through the feeder funds than if they
all had direct claims against the Madoff firm. The investors have
the right to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals.

The 16 feeder-fund investors filing appeals included the Trustees
of Tufts College, Axa Private Management, National Bank of Kuwait
SAK, and Aozora Bank Ltd.

WSJ says Richard A. Cirillo, Esq., a lawyer representing some of
the investors, declined to comment Thursday.

BERNARD L. MADOFF: Customer Gears up Test Case in District Court
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that a lawyer representing more than 80 customers being
sued by the trustee for Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities
Inc. filed a motion late last week in U.S. District Court aimed at
precluding recovery from anyone who didn't know there was a Ponzi
scheme afoot.

Mr. Rochelle recounts that in late November, U.S. District Judge
Jed Rakoff removed the 28 lawsuits from bankruptcy court where
Madoff trustee Irving Picard was attempting to recover so-called
fictitious profits.  In Mr. Picard's theory, fictitious profits
represent cash taken out in excess of cash invested and are
automatically fraudulent transfers, even if the customer was
unaware of fraud.

In the test case, called Picard v. Hein, all the customers are
represented by Carole Neville, a lawyer from SNR Denton US LLP in
New York.

Judge Rakoff, according to the report, said he will use the Hein
case to make several rulings applicable to hundreds of Mr.
Picard's lawsuits.  The first question is whether the customers
can offset fraudulent transfer claims with amounts shown owing on
account statements.  Judge Rakoff will also use the case to decide
if his ruling in the Fred Wilpon case applies, so Mr. Picard can
only look back two years in his suits, not six.

Ms. Neville is asking Judge Rakoff to rule that Mr. Picard can't
recover money that older investors were in effect required to take
out as a result of tax laws compelling elderly people to draw down
some portion of individual retirement accounts every year.
Ms. Neville also contends that the bankruptcy court lacks power
to preside over fraudulent-transfer suits as the result of a
June decision from the U.S. Supreme Court in a bankruptcy case
called Stern v. Marshall.

The lawsuit in district court is Picard v. Hein, 11-04936,
U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

                   About Bernard L. Madoff

Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC and Bernard L. Madoff
orchestrated the largest Ponzi scheme in history, with losses
topping US$50 billion.  On Dec. 15, 2008, the Honorable Louis A.
Stanton of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
New York granted the application of the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation for a decree adjudicating that the
customers of BLMIS are in need of the protection afforded by the
Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970.  The District Court's
Protective Order (i) appointed Irving H. Picard, Esq., as trustee
for the liquidation of BLMIS, (ii) appointed Baker & Hostetler LLP
as his counsel, and (iii) removed the SIPA Liquidation proceeding
to the Bankruptcy Court (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Adv. Pro. No. 08-01789)
(Lifland, J.).  Mr. Picard has retained AlixPartners LLP as claims
agent.

On April 13, 2009, former BLMIS clients filed an involuntary
Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition against Bernard Madoff (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. 09-11893).  The case is before Hon. Burton Lifland.  The
petitioning creditors -- Blumenthal & Associates Florida General
Partnership, Martin Rappaport Charitable Remainder Unitrust,
Martin Rappaport, Marc Cherno, and Steven Morganstern -- assert
US$64 million in claims against Mr. Madoff based on the balances
contained in the last statements they got from BLMIS.

On April 14, 2009, Grant Thornton UK LLP as receiver placed Madoff
Securities International Limited in London under bankruptcy
protection pursuant to Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
(Bankr. S.D. Fla. 09-16751).

The Chapter 15 case was later transferred to Manhattan.  In June
2009, Judge Lifland approved the consolidation of the Madoff SIPA
proceedings and the bankruptcy case.

Judge Denny Chin of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York on June 29, 2009, sentenced Mr. Madoff to
150 years of life imprisonment for defrauding investors in United
States v. Madoff, No. 09-CR-213 (S.D.N.Y.)

As of July 15, 2011, a total of US$6.88 billion in claims by
investors has been allowed, with US$794.9 million to be paid by
the Securities Investor Protection Corp.  Investors are expected
to receive additional distributions from money recovered by Mr.
Picard from lawsuits or settlements.

Mr. Picard has filed 1,000 lawsuits seeking $100 billion from
banks such as HSBC Holdings Plc and JPMorgan Chase & Co.  The
trustee has seen more than $28 billion of his claims tossed by
district judges.


BIG M INC: Annie Sez Chain Owner Said to Plan Bankruptcy
--------------------------------------------------------
Big M Inc., the owner of the Annie sez and Mandee clothing chains,
may seek protection from creditors, according to reporting by
Lauren Coleman-Lochner and Tiffany Kary at Bloomberg News, citing
two people familiar with the matter.

The company, which operates more than 150 stores, is seeking to
reorganize, shut some locations and possibly move all of the
stores under the Mandee name, Bloomberg quoted one of the people
as saying.

Big M was founded by the Mandelbaum family in 1948, according to
Mandee's Web site.  Mandee sells clothing aimed at women aged 16
to 35, while Annie sez offers designer merchandise at discounts,
targeting women 25 and older.

Alan Mandelbaum, son of company co-founder Max Mandelbaum, became
CEO in September, according to an October report in The Record, a
newspaper in northern New Jersey.

Annie sez, with a contact address in Secaucus, New Jersey, opened
in 1974 and has 14 stores in New York and 16 in New Jersey,
according to its Web site. Other stores are in Connecticut,
Florida, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Bloomberg News notes that the U.S. economic slowdown since 2008
has helped to drive other retailers into bankruptcy, including
Loehmann's Holdings Inc., Circuit City Stores Inc. and Borders
Group Inc.

   (a) secured convertible promissory notes evidencing an
       aggregate of $1,111,655 principal and accrued interest
       outstanding, which were issued by the Company and Holdings
       pursuant to a Secured Convertible Note and Warrant
       Purchase Agreement, dated on or about Sept. 24, 2008, and
       a Secured Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement
       dated on or about June 8, 2009;

       3,541,667 shares of the Company's common stock based on the
       Company's revenue for the twelve-month period ending in
       February 2012, which rights were granted by the Company
       pursuant to the Amendment No. 1 to Secured Convertible
       Notes dated as of Oct. 12, 2010, and Amendment No. 2 to
       Secured Convertible Promissory Notes dated as of Oct. 19,
       2010.

Pursuant to the Repayment and Termination Agreement, the Company
paid the Holders an aggregate of $873,039 and, in exchange, the
Holders irrevocably agreed that (a) the Notes were cancelled,
retired, terminated, satisfied in full and no longer outstanding;
(b) the Warrants and rights to Contingent Performance Shares were
terminated, cancelled and of no further force or effect; and (c)
all obligations of the Company to any Holder under the Notes, the

Purchase Agreement and the Second Amended and Restated Security

satisfied in full.

                         Accountant Resigns

On Dec. 28, 2011, Daszkal Bolton LLP, the independent accounting
firm previously engaged as the principal accountants to audit the
Company's financial statements, notified the Company that it was
resigning as the Company's independent auditors.  The Former
Accountant will complete certain non-audit services it was
providing the Company related to state income tax returns.  The
Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors will be
interviewing new independent accounting firms and the Company
anticipates they will engage a new principal independent auditor
promptly.

The Former Accountant's report on the Company's financial
statements for the fiscal years ended Dec. 31, 2010, and 2009, did
not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles, except as follows: The Former Accountant's
reports on the Company's audited financial statements for the
fiscal years ended Dec. 31, 2010, and Dec. 31, 2009, contained the
following statement: "The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern.  As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the
Company has sustained recurring losses and has negative cash flows
from operations that raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty."

During the six month period ending June 30, 2011, the Company and
the Former Accountant disagreed regarding the appropriate GAAP
accounting treatment of the Company's issuance of Series D
Convertible Preferred Stock and related common stock warrants
during such period. Specifically, the disagreement related to the
application of GAAP to certain price protection features of such
securities.  The Audit Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors discussed the accounting treatment with the Company's
management and the Former Accountant.  The difference of opinion
was resolved to the Former Accountant's satisfaction.  The Company
has authorized the Former Accountant to respond fully to any
inquiries of the Company's successor accountant concerning the
subject matter of this disagreement.

                       Bankruptcy Warning

In the past, the Company's strategy had been to convert its
estimated proved undeveloped reserves into proved producing
reserves, improve operational efficiencies in its existing
properties and acquire accretive proved producing assets suitable
for secondary and enhanced oil recovery at low cost.  Due to the
Company's current financial constraints, including continued
losses, defaults under the Company's loan agreements and the
Company's Series D Preferred Stock, no available borrowing
capacity, constrained cash flow, negative working capital, and
limited to no other capital availability, the Company is reviewing
strategic alternatives which include the sale of the Company, the
sale of some or all of the Company's existing oil and gas
properties and assets, potential business combinations, debt
restructuring, including recapitalizing the Company, and
bankruptcy.  The Company continues to focus on cash management and
cost reduction efforts to improve both its cash flow from
operations and profitability.

                        Auditor Termination

Effective on or about Oct. 17, 2011, the Company terminated the
services of its principal independent auditor, Silberstein Ungar,
PLLC CPAs and Business Advisors of Bingham Falls, Michigan.

In the Former Accountant's principal accountant reports on the
Company's financial statements for each of the past two years, no
adverse opinion was issued and no opinion of the Former Accountant
was modified as to audit scope or accounting principles.  The
Company's principal accountant report on the Company's financial
statements for the years-ended April 30, 2010, and 2011, as
reported in the Company's Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on Aug. 16, 2011, and Form 10-K filed with
the SEC on June 18, 2010, contained a disclaimer paragraph
concerning uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern.  The financial statements did not include any
adjustments that might have resulted from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

The change in auditor was recommended, approved and ratified by
the Company's Board of Directors.

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, and any interim
period preceding such dismissal, the Company is not aware of any
disagreements with the Former Accountant on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements,
if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Former Accountant,
would have caused it to make references to the subject matter of
the disagreements in connection with its report.

The Company is not aware of any reportable events that have
occurred during the two most recent fiscal years and the interim
period preceding the dismissal of the Former Accountant.

The Company has engaged Hein & Associates LLP, Houston, Texas, as
its new principle independent accountant effective Nov. 1, 2011,
to audit the Company's financial records.  During the two most
recent fiscal years and the interim period preceding the
appointment of the New Accountant, we have not consulted the New
Accountant regarding either: the application of accounting
principles to a specified transaction, either completed or
proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on
our financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral
advice was provided to the Company that the Company considered an
important factor in reaching a decision as to the accounting or
financial reporting issue; or any matter that was either the
subject of a disagreement or event.  The New Accountant has
audited the financial statements of JHE, a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company, during the previous two most recent fiscal years.

      banking services as may be agreed upon by Houlihan Lokey
      and the Company.

In its order approving the engagement, the court made these
modifications on the fee structure provided for the engagement

       Lokey, shall be credited against a Restructuring
       Transaction Fee or Sale Transaction Fee to which Houlihan
       Lokey becomes entitled, it being understood and agreed
       that no Monthly Fee shall be credited more than once and
       in no event shall a Restructuring Transaction Fee or a
       Sale Transaction Fee be reduced below zero."

   b) The table at the end of Section 3(ii)(b) shall be replaced
      with these:

        i) For AGC from $80 million to $95 million: 1.25% of

        to the Debtor in Possession Loan raised from Redwood
        Capital Investments, LLC, shall be credited against a
        Restructuring Transaction Fee or a Sale Transaction

        Financing Transaction Fee payable to Houlihan Lokey,
        at least 51% of such capital committed shall be
        provided by parties who are, at the time, not lenders

        securities."

   f) This sentence shall be added at the end of Section 7
      (Aggregate Gross Consideration): "Further, solely for
      purposes of determining the actual AGC used in

                  About The Clare at Water Tower

The Clare at Water Tower is an upscale 334-unit high-rise
continuing-care retirement community in Chicago, Illinois.  The

the recession.  The facility is a 53-story building on land rented
from Loyola University of Chicago.  The facility is managed and
developed by a unit of the Franciscan Sisters of Chicago, who
invested more than $14 million.  The project opened in December
2008.  Residents must make partially refundable deposits ranging
from $263,000 to $1.2 million.  Monthly fees are an additional
$2,700 to $5,500.

COLONIAL BANCGROUP: District Court Vacates Cash Use Ruling
----------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Myron H. Thompson vacated two rulings entered in
January last year by the Bankruptcy Court of the Middle District
of Alabama, based on a finding that the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. as receiver for Colonial Bank, may not exercise setoff
rights in six demand-deposit accounts owned by Colonial BancGroup,
Inc., the bankruptcy debtor, and transferred by the FDIC-Receiver
to Branch Banking and Trust Company.

The Jan. 24, 2011 decision denied the receiver's motion for relief
from automatic stay, and the Jan. 25, 2011 ruling granted Colonial
BancGroup's motion to use cash in one of these accounts to pay
BancGroup's operating expenses and the fees and expenses of
professionals.

Colonial Bank was the largest bank to fail in 2009, and the FDIC
estimates that the failure of the bank and its holding company
BancGroup will cost the FDIC and American taxpayers approximately
$5 billion.  BancGroup's principal place of business was in
Montgomery, Alabama, and its principal operating subsidy was, at
99.3 % of its consolidated assets, Colonial Bank.

On Aug. 14, 2009, Colonial Bank was closed by its state regulatory
authorities, and the FDIC was appointed its receiver. With this
appointment, the FDIC-Receiver succeeded by operation of law to
"all rights, titles, powers, and privileges of" the bank.  That
same day, the FDIC-Receiver entered into a purchase and assumption
agreement with the FDIC (in its corporate capacity) and BB&T.
Pursuant to the P&A Agreement, the FDIC-Receiver transferred
nearly all of Colonial Bank's assets to BB&T.  Among these assets
were six demand-deposit accounts owned by BancGroup, with the
largest being BancGroup's so-called "operating account."

On Aug. 17, the first business day following the bank's shut-down,
the FDIC-Receiver placed an administrative hold on all six
accounts.  Eleven days after Colonial Bank failed, BancGroup filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

In addition to the administrative hold the FDIC-Receiver had
already entered, an automatic stay was placed on the demand-
deposit accounts.  As of the Chapter 11 petition date, the holding
company's deposit accounts totaled $38.41 million, and the
"operating" account, in particular, had a balance of $14.38
million.

On Oct. 5, 2009, the FDIC-Receiver filed a motion seeking relief
from the automatic stay so as to exercise rights against the
deposit balances in these accounts pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec.
365(o).  The bankruptcy court denied the motion on Aug. 31, 2010,
and the FDIC-Receiver's appeal of that order is pending before the
District Court.

In the meantime, the FDIC-Receiver filed a proof of claim against
BancGroup on Nov. 30, 2009.  The rights asserted in the FDIC-
Receiver's proof of claim form the basis for its second, and
currently pending before the District court, motion for relief
from the automatic stay, which was submitted in September 2010.
Though the amount of the FDIC-Receiver's claim far exceeds the
aggregate deposit balances of all of the accounts, BB&T did not
object to the FDIC-Receiver's motion because it was limited to the
portion of the deposit balances that are not needed to pay BB&T's
security claim (which, by agreement, is in the other accounts and
not the operating account at issue.  The FDIC-Receiver seeks to
setoff the amount in the operating account and whatever money, if
any, would be left-over in the case that BB&T is over-secured by
the balances in the other accounts.

In response, BancGroup sought to use deposit balances in the
operating account to pay administrative expenses, which the FDIC-
Receiver opposed.

On Jan. 24, 2011, the bankruptcy court denied the FDIC-Receiver's
second motion for relief and held that the receiver did not have a
right to setoff BancGroup's debts with the deposit accounts
because the receiver lost the "mutuality" required to have a
setoff once it transferred BancGroup's accounts to BB&T.  Further,
the bankruptcy court found that any attempt to get that money
back, through provisions of the P&A Agreement, would constitute a
post-petition incurrence of liability and be therefore ineligible
for setoff.

The next day the bankruptcy court granted BancGroup's motion "to
use cash in [BancGroup]'s operating account to pay [BancGroup]'s
operating expenses and the fees and expenses of professionals."
The bankruptcy court briefly reasoned that, by its Jan. 24
decision, it had "held that the FDIC has no right to offset the
funds in the account."

The District Court, however, concluded that the transfer of
BancGroup's demand-deposit accounts from the FDIC-Receiver to BB&T
pursuant to the P&A Agreement did not destroy the mutuality
between the FDIC-Receiver and BancGroup.  According to the
District Court, regardless of the terminology employed -- whether
the P&A Agreement was an "assignment," a "transfer," or a
"delegation" of the account -- one important fact is clear: the
P&A Agreement did not extinguish the FDIC-Receiver's liability in
the deposit accounts to BancGroup.

Judge Thompson, however, noted that the District Court cannot say
its conclusion that the P&A Agreement did not destroy mutuality,
in itself, means that the bankruptcy court erred by denying the
automatic stay and by granting use of the operating account to pay
BancGroup's operating expenses and fees.  These determinations are
questions that belong in the bankruptcy court in the first
instance.  Judge Thompson said the bankruptcy court's decisions
will be vacated and the matter is remanded to allow the bankruptcy
judge to reconsider and determine how, consistent with the
District Court's opinion, the case should proceed.

as Receiver for Colonial Bank, Appellant, v. THE COLONIAL
BANCGROUP, INC., et al., Appellees, Civil Action No. 2:11cv133

COSTA DORADA: Settlement with Scotiabank de Puerto Rico Okayed
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Enrique S. Lamoutte Inclan of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Puerto Rico approved a settlement agreement/
stipulation for the payment of Costa Dorada Apartments Corp.'s
loan to Scotiabank "within the process of its Chapter 11 Plan."

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Nov. 30, 2011, the
stipulation was entered between the Debtor and secured creditor
Scotiabank de Puerto Rico.

Scotiabank is a secured creditor of the Debtor as the holder in
due course of three mortgage notes that were given in pledge to
warrant a commercial loan originated for the principal sum of
$2,500,000 and later increased to $3,150,000.  The loan is secured
by a first mortgage on two (2) properties of the Debtor.

The agreement was reached under these terms:

  (a) The Debtor accepts that as of Sept. 15, 2011, it owes
      Scotiabank $1,100,441 for principal, accrued interest in the
      amount of $171,068, $95,547 for escrow account and $315,000
      for prepetition attorney fees.  Interest will increase at a
      rate of $158.28 daily.

  (b) The Debtor has agreed to pay this debt thorough the Chapter
      11 plan.  Notwithstanding, in the event the instant case is
      dismissed, Scotiabank may continue with this agreement,
      subject to Debtor's compliance.  Otherwise, Scotiabank may
      modify or terminate it.

  (c) The Debtor will have a term of twenty four (24) months,
      counted from the date the agreement is signed, to sell the
      units and complete the payment in full of Scotiabank's loan.

  (d) All units will be sold for a price of no less than $150,000
      unless the parties mutually agree to a different price.

  (f) If the Debtor is not able to sell enough units to complete
      the payment of Scotiabank's loan within the twenty four
      months period it will agree to the lifting of the stay in
      favor of Scotiabank on all the unsold units that are part of
      the collateral.  The stay will be lifted to allow the bank
      to continue with its foreclosure action now pending on the
      State Court.  The stay will be lifted upon a written
      certification to the Court that the sale period has elapsed
      and the loan remains unpaid.

   g) A realtor will be retained for the marketing and sale of
      apartment units.  It will be hired by mutual agreement of
      the parties.  In case the parties are not able reach an
      agreement on the hiring of the realtor the matter will be
      taken to the consideration of the Court.  Each party will
      submit a candidate from which the court will make a final
      determination.

  (h) While the sale of the apartment units is being completed the
      Debtor will make monthly post-petition adequate protection
      payments to Scotiabank in the amount of $6,000 starting with
      the signature of this stipulation and every months
      thereafter.

  (i) All payments received by Scotiabank from the monthly
      payments and the proceeds of the sales will be first applied
      to the accrued interest of the loan.  The rest will be
      applied to the principal of the loan.

  (j) This stipulation will become integral part any
      reorganization plan the Debtor submits for the approval of
      the Court and its creditors.

Pursuant to Rule 4001 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure
(FRBP), the movants request that should no objection to this
agreement be filed within twenty one (21) days from notice of the
same, an Order approving all the terms and conditions above stated
be entered.

EASTMAN KODAK: Bankruptcy Risk Cues Moody's Downgrade to 'Caa3'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service lowered all ratings of Eastman Kodak
Company, including: the corporate family and probability of
default to Caa3 from Caa2, the senior unsecured to Ca from Caa3,
the senior secured to Caa1 from B3 and the Speculative Grade
Liquidity rating to SGL-4 from SGL-3. The outlook remains
negative.

The rating downgrade reflects a heightened probability of a
bankruptcy over the near term as a result of a deteriorating
liquidity outlook, which Moody's believes is posing additional
challenges to consummating the sale or licensing agreements of
Kodak's key digital patents. The negative outlook reflects Kodak's
eroding liquidity position and the higher probability of a
bankruptcy filing.

Moody's believes Kodak's ability to sell or license some of its
key digital patents may be negatively affected by the possibility
of a Kodak bankruptcy filing over the near term. A bankruptcy
court-approved sale of Kodak's patents, however, could have more
certainty of being sustained, leading, in Moody's view, to a
higher likelihood of reaching a deal.

Additionally, an administrative judge overseeing the dispute at
the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) between Kodak and
smartphone makers Apple Inc. and Research In Motion Ltd. recently
extended its target date to render a decision to September 21,
2012 from an earlier December 30, 2011 expectation.

As a result of the delayed ITC timeline and Moody's expectations
that Kodak's core operations will continue to burn cash, Moody's
believes there is a heightened probability that Kodak could file
for bankruptcy in order to improve its prospects of achieving more
favorable terms in the licensing or sale of its digital patents.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The Caa3 corporate family rating reflects a heightened probability
of a debt restructuring over the near term. Because Kodak's core
operations consume cash, and particularly during the first nine
months of each year, "we project domestic cash could be depleted
by mid-2012 absent material IP licensing income and the successful
execution of non-strategic assets sales" said Moody's senior vice
president, Richard Lane.

As of September 2011, Kodak maintained approximately $632 million
of cash in international locations, over half of which was in
China. While Kodak's foreign operations have been able to loan or
repatriate some of these monies, $310 million during the first
nine months of 2011, a good portion of overseas cash is needed for
local operations, or access to this liquidity is limited by local
law or regulation and/or subject to cash taxes upon permanent
repatriation.

To the extent that Kodak executes a sale or licensing agreement,
with after-tax proceeds in excess of $1 billion, the rating
outlook could stabilize. A ratings upgrade could be triggered by
the receipt of $2 billion or more in after tax proceeds.

Rating lowered include:

Corporate family rating to Caa3 from Caa2;

Probability of default to Caa3 from Caa2;

$500 million Senior Secured Notes due 2018, to Caa1 from B3; LGD2,
26%;

$250 million Senior Secured Notes due 2019, to Caa1 from B3; LGD2,
26%;

$3 million Senior Unsecured Notes due 2018, to Ca from Caa3; LGD5,
73%;

$10 million Senior Unsecured Notes due 2021, to Ca from Caa3;
LGD5, 73%;

$250 million Senior Unsecured Global Notes due 2013, to Ca from
Caa3; LGD5, 73%;

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, to SGL-4 from SGL-3

The principal methodology used in rating Eastman Kodak was the
Global Technology Hardware Industry Methodology published in
Seotember 2010. Other methodologies used include Loss Given
Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S.,
Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.

Eastman Kodak Company, headquartered in Rochester, N.Y., provides
imaging technology products and services to the photographic,
graphic arts commercial printing, consumer digital, and
entertainment imaging market. Kodak reported $6.2 billion in
revenue for the twelve months ended September 2011.


EASTMAN KODAK: Cut by S&P to 'CCC-' Amid Substantial Challenges
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services lowered its long-term ratings on
Rochester, N.Y.-based Eastman Kodak Co. (EK) to 'CCC-' from 'CCC'.
"In addition, we placed the ratings on CreditWatch with negative
implications," S&P said.

"The current rating reflects both our expectation that Kodak's
pace of cash consumption will remain high over the near term,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst John Moore, "and a
considerable risk that earnings and cash flow will be insufficient
to support debt through 2012." Absent a meaningful cash infusion
from asset sales or monetization of intellectual property (IP)
assets, the company could significantly deplete its liquidity with
its 2012 first-half working capital and growth investments.

Kodak has relied on IP licensing settlements and the sale of
noncore assets to fund its plan to transform from a traditional
film manufacturer into a digital technology company. The company
faces substantial challenges to fund its consumer and commercial
inkjet business growth plans given the secular decline of
traditional film, funding requirements of underfunded and unfunded
defined benefit and other postretirement benefit plans, and
protracted uncertainty relating to pending IP litigation against
Apple Inc. and Research in Motion Ltd. before the International
Trade Commission.

"We view Kodak's liquidity as 'weak' as defined in our criteria.
While we expect its December 2011 cash to have benefited from
seasonally strong fourth-quarter earnings and cash flow, we
anticipate seasonal and investing outflows in the first half of
2012 will significantly deplete cash. At Sept. 30, 2011, cash and
cash equivalents amounted to $862 million, approximately $320
million of which was held within China, where there are cash
availability limitations. Kodak's current guidance for cash at
Dec. 31, 2011 is as much as $1.4 billion. In our view,
availability under the company's ABS facility is essentially
exhausted, following a $160 million draw in the third quarter of
2011. We note that reported cash flow from operating activities
less capital expenditures amounted to negative $903 million for
the first half of 2011," S&P said.

"We will monitor the company's progress in shoring up its
liquidity before resolving the CreditWatch. The absence of
substantial asset sales or other replenishment of liquidity
renders the company vulnerable to a default," S&P said.


ELITE PHARMACEUTICALS: Secures $5 Million Funding Commitment
------------------------------------------------------------
Elite Pharmaceuticals, Inc., entered into a securities purchase
agreement with Socius CG II, Ltd., a subsidiary of Socius Capital
Group.  Socius, based in New York and Los Angeles, has an
impressive record of making investments in emerging life sciences
companies.  Under the agreement, Elite may sell up to $5 million
of non-convertible Series F Preferred Stock to Socius over a two-
year period.  Proceeds will be used for product development,
including the scale-up of products using Elite's abuse deterrent
technology, as well as other corporate purposes that management
may deem necessary and appropriate.

"With the completion of this transaction, for the first time in a
long time, management believes that it can focus its time on
growing the company and enhancing shareholder value without having
to expend an inordinate amount of time contemplating where the
capital required for growth will come from," said Elite's Chief
Executive Officer, Jerry Treppel.  "We believe this financing
arrangement will help resolve that issue."

Pursuant to the agreement, Elite has the right over a term of two
years, subject to certain conditions which include the filing and
effectiveness of a registration statement, to require Socius to
purchase up to $5 million of redeemable, non-convertible Series F
Preferred Stock, with such purchases payable in tranches at the
election of Elite.  The Series F Preferred Stock is non-voting,
not convertible into common stock and is redeemable at the option
of Elite.  It carries an annual dividend rate of 10%, with such
dividends to be paid via the issuance of Series F Preferred Stock.
Additionally, Elite may not deliver a tranche notice to Socius if
the closing bid price of Elite's common stock is less than $0.07.

In addition, with each purchase of Series F Preferred Stock, a
portion of the warrant to purchase shares of Elite's common stock
issued to Socius, with an exercise price of $0.07, will vest and
be automatically exercised in an amount equal to 35% of the dollar
amount of the Series F Preferred Stock being purchased and an
additional investment right to purchase Elite's common stock, at a
price of $0.07 per share, will be automatically exercised in an
amount equal to 100% of the dollar amount of the Series F
Preferred Stock being purchased.

Upon automatic exercise of the warrant and additional investment
right, Socius must pay for the underlying shares, at its option,
in cash or by delivering a full-recourse secured promissory note.
In connection with a redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock,
at the option of either Elite or Socius, all outstanding
promissory notes may be offset, exchanged and cancelled for all
outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by Socius such
that following such offset, exchange and cancellation, no further
amounts will be due or payable with respect to such shares of
Series F Preferred Stock or such promissory notes and all of such
shares of Series F Preferred Stock and promissory notes shall no
longer be outstanding.

Elite expects the closing to the agreement to occur within 5
business days of the execution of the agreement.

rating on its $170 million second-lien term loan. We will rate the
new debt issued as part of its refinancing under the new issuer,
Emdeon Inc.," S&P said.


EMDEON INC: S&P Assigns 'B' Corp. Credit Rating; Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' corporate
credit rating to Nashville-based health care software provider
Emdeon Inc. The rating outlook is stable.

"We also assigned 'BB-' issue-level ratings and '1' recovery
ratings to Emdeon's $125 million senior secured revolving credit
facility due 2016 and $1.224 billion senior secured term loan due
2018," S&P said.

"In addition, we assigned 'CCC+' issue-level ratings and '6'
recovery ratings to the company's $375 million senior unsecured
notes due 2019 and $375 million notes due 2020," S&P said.

"The ratings reflect Emdeon's 'highly leveraged' financial risk
profile (as defined in our criteria) and its private-equity
ownership structure, which is likely to preclude sustained de-
leveraging," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Andrew Chang.
"We calculate that adjusted leverage is in the mid-6x range, which
we consider somewhat high for the rating, but expect the company
to maintain or reduce leverage in the near term through modest
EBITDA expansion and debt reductions."

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that operating
trends, while under some growth pressure, will remain positive as
a result of its highly recurring revenue and broad customer base
and that Emdeon will maintain adjusted leverage at or below
current levels. We would consider an upgrade if the company can
maintain its revenue growth and stable margins over time, such
that adjusted leverage declines to near the 5x range," S&P said.

On the other hand, sustained leverage above 7x due to meaningful
revenue or margin compression as a result of either disappointing
operating trends or additional debt-financed acquisitions, could
lead to lower ratings.

Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, Emmis Communications
Corporation -- http://www.emmis.com/-- owns and operates 22 radio
stations serving New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, St. Louis,
Austin, Indianapolis, and Terre Haute, as well as national radio
networks in Slovakia and Bulgaria.  The company also publishes six
regional and two specialty magazines.

The Company reported a consolidated net loss of $11.54 million on
$251.31 million of net revenues for the year ended Feb. 28, 2011,
compared with a consolidated net loss of $118.49 million on
$242.56 million of net revenues during the prior year.

The Company also reported a net loss attributable to common
shareholders of $13.14 million on $125.76 million of net revenues
for the six months ended Aug. 31, 2011, compared with a net loss
attributable to common shareholders of $6.24 million on $126.91
million of net revenues for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Aug. 31, 2011, showed $471.19
million in total assets, $479.49 million in total liabilities,
$140.45 million in Series A cumulative convertible preferred

                           *     *     *

In November 2010, Moody's Investors Service affirmed the 'Caa2'
Corporate Family Rating and 'Caa3' Probability of Default rating
for Emmis Communications Corporation, as well as its SGL-4
speculative grade liquidity rating.  Operating performance
improved with the economic recovery, but absent debt reduction
with proceeds from an asset sale or equity infusion Emmis will
likely breach its leverage covenant when the covenant suspension
period ends for the quarter ending November 30, 2011, in Moody's
opinion.

Emmis' CFR and PDR incorporate expectations for a covenant breach
in November 2011.  Moody's considers the Company's capital
structure unsustainable, and its operations in the cyclical
advertising business magnify this challenge.  Furthermore, Emmis
relies on two markets, Los Angeles and New York, for approximately
50% of its revenue, although its ownership of stations in top
markets including Chicago as well as NY and LA, support the
rating.

The negative outlook incorporates Moody's expectations that Emmis
will not comply with its maximum leverage covenant when effective
for the quarter ending Nov. 30, 2011.

FX 4 LLC: No Committee for Owner of 55 Arby's Restaurants
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that FX4 LLC and affiliates won't be bothered by an
official creditors' committee.  No one was willing to serve,
according to the U.S. Trustee.

                           About FX 4 LLC

Three related Scottsdale, Arizona limited-liability companies that
operate 54 Arby's fast-food restaurants in Arizona and one in New
Mexico have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Phoenix
Bankruptcy Court (Bankr. D. Ariz. Lead Case No. 11-33622).  The
restaurants are owned by FX4 LLC, FX4A LLC and FX4B LLC, all
headed by Scottsdale businessman Charles Harmon.

The three entities claim liabilities of $21.7 million and assets
of $10.5 million.  Bradley Stevens, Esq., a Phoenix attorney
handling the bankruptcy, said the three petitions likely will be
consolidated.  Of the debt, about $15.5 million is reported to be
owned to creditors holding secured claims.  Mr. Stevens said the
principal creditor is Bank of America.

The restaurants have struggled through the economic downturn and
that the bankruptcy proceeding will allow the operator to reject
leases and close unprofitable locations.

The report notes that Mr. Stevens said the group has not
determined which restaurants it will seek to close.

Bradley Jay Stevens, Esq., at Jennings, Strouss & Salmon, P.L.C.,
serves as counsel to the Debtor.  The Debtor disclosed $2,400,442
in assets and $2,165,915 in liabilities.

GARY-WILLIAMS ENERGY: S&P Withdraws 'B+' Corporate Credit Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services withdrew its 'B+' corporate
credit rating on refiner Gary-Williams Energy Corp. at the
company's request. The company was acquired by Coffeyville
Resources LLC (Coffeyville) on Dec. 15, 2011, and Coffeyville
subsequently paid off all of Gary-Williams' debt.

"The rating action follows the completion of Coffeyville Resources
LLC's (Coffeyville's) acquisition of Gary-Williams. In conjunction
with the transaction, CVR has paid off Gary-Williams term loan,
which was about $50 million on Sept. 30, 2011. We affirmed the
ratings on Coffeyville on Dec. 9, 2011," S&P said.

Coffeyville financed the acquisition of Gary-Williams with
proceeds from its $200 million offering of additional first-lien
senior secured term notes and cash from its balance sheet,
bringing the total enterprise valuation of Gary-Williams
(excluding working capital) to $525 million.


GELTECH SOLUTIONS: LPC Agrees to Buy $5 Million Common Shares
-------------------------------------------------------------
GelTech Solutions, Inc., executed a purchase agreement, effective
Jan. 4, 2012, with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, together with a
registration rights agreement, whereby LPC has agreed to purchase
up to $5.0 million of the Company's common stock over a 30-month
period.  Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company
agreed to file a registration statement related to the transaction
with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission covering the shares
that may be issued to LPC under the Purchase Agreement.  Upon
filing the registration statement, LPC made an initial purchase of
166,667 shares of the Company's common stock for $100,000.  Five
days after the SEC has declared effective the registration
statement related to the transaction, the Company has the right
over a 30-month period to sell shares of common stock to LPC in
amounts between $30,000 and $500,000, depending on certain
conditions as set forth in the purchase agreement, up to $5.0
million.

The purchase price of the shares related to the future funding
will be based on the prevailing market prices of the Company's
shares at the time of sales without any fixed discount, and the
Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares
to LPC.  LPC will not have the right or the obligation to purchase
any shares of the Company's common stock on any business day that
the price of the Company's common stock is below $0.35 per share.

In consideration for entering into the $5.0 million Purchase
Agreement, the Company issued 150,000 shares of the Company's
common stock and may issue in the future up to 450,000 shares of
our common stock pro rata as LPC purchases, at the Company's sole
discretion, up to the remaining $4.9 million of the Company's
common stock.  The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by the
Company at any time at its discretion without any cost to the
Company.  There are no negative covenants, restrictions on future
fundings, penalties or liquidated damages in the agreement.  The
proceeds received by the Company under the common stock purchase
agreement will be used for working capital and general corporate
purposes.

Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement whereby the Company
had the right to sell, at its sole discretion, to LPC up to
$5,000,000 of the Company's common stock, over a 30-month period.
Under the Prior Purchase Agreement, the Company sold 2,348,063
shares of common stock to LPC and received proceeds of $3,358,866.

On Jan. 3, 2012, the Prior Purchase Agreement and Prior
Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and LPC were
terminated by mutual agreement.

registration statement relating to the sale of up to 4,400,000
shares of the Company's common stock which may be offered by the

of common stock being offered by the selling shareholder are
outstanding or issuable pursuant to the Lincoln Park Purchase

GENERAL MOTORS: S&P Raises Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating to 'BB'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its long-term issuer
credit rating on General Motors Financial Co. Inc. (GM Financial)
to 'BB' from 'B+'. "We also raised the issue-level rating on the
company's senior unsecured debt to 'BB-' from 'B'. At the same
time, we removed the ratings from CreditWatch, where they were
placed with positive implications on Sept. 30, 2011. The outlook
is stable," S&P said.

"Our upgrade of GM Financial reflects our view that the company
remains a strategically important subsidiary of General Motors
Co.," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Rian Pressman. "Based
on this view, the issuer credit rating on GM Financial is two
notches higher than its stand-alone credit profile (SACP) of 'b+'.
Strategically important subsidiaries can receive up to three
notches of support, but they cannot be rated the same as their
parents."

"GM Financial's SACP reflects its evolving product offerings, its
reliance on asset-backed securities markets for funding, and
encumbered balance sheet," said Mr. Pressman. "Other
considerations include GM Financial's long track record in
subprime automobile lending and improving financial performance."

"We believe that ownership of GM Financial provides General Motors
Co. (GM; BB+/Stable/--) with a dedicated source of subprime and
lease financing for the purchase and lease of new GM vehicles in
the U.S. and Canada, thus supporting our view of GM Financial as
strategically important. Prior to GM's partnership with
AmeriCredit (established in September 2009), its retail financing
penetration in subprime loans had been below the industry average.
Its current penetration in U.S. and Canadian leases remains
somewhat below industry averages, and GM Financial is assuming an
important role in filling this gap. Moreover, the planned launch
of a commercial lending platform in second-quarter 2012 will offer
GM dealers an alternative source of floor plan, real estate, and
capital improvement loans, further increasing GM Financial's
importance to GM. Although GM Financial emphasizes GM
originations, it has preserved non-GM business, including its
traditional vehicle financing for subprime consumers in the U.S.,"
S&P said.

"GM also provides some financial support to GM Financial, which
further bolsters our view of its strategic importance," S&P said.

"Although we believe that GM Financial is strategically important
to GM's overall financing strategy, we don't believe the
subsidiary is core to GM's operations. In the three months ended
Sept. 30, 2011, financing for new GM vehicles accounted for only
about 39% of total originations," S&P said.

"GM Financial's stand-alone financial performance continued to
improve through 2011, primarily because of lower credit and
funding costs and high recovery values on the sale of repossessed
vehicles. We expect credit performance to deteriorate somewhat as
these cyclical conditions abate and management selectively loosens
credit standards. However, management has proven its ability to
effectively manage its subprime business thorough numerous
economic cycles. Nonetheless, the company's evolving strategy
limits the possibility for us to raise the SACP over the next
couple of years," S&P said.


GEORGES MARCIANO: Trustee Ordered to Appear in Canadian Court
-------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. bankruptcy trustee David Gottlieb, appointed by a US court in
the involuntary bankruptcy of Georges Marciano, was served a
special order on Dec. 29, 2011, to appear in court in Canada on
charges of contempt for not complying with certain provisions of
the judgment handed down by the Honourable Mark Schrager, judge of
the Superior Court of Quebec.

On Dec. 8, 2011, Judge Schrager rejected the search warrant and
the authorization to seize the assets belonging to Georges
Marciano and third parties.  In his judgment, Judge Schrager
ordered the Gottlieb trustee to return all assets that were seized
from Mr. Marciano and other parties before the trial (artwork,
luxury vehicles, properties, jewels, etc.).

GRAND TRAVERSE: S&P Lowers Rating on Series 2007 Bonds to 'BB+'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services lowered its long-term rating to
'BB+' from 'BBB-' on Grand Traverse Academy (GTA), Mich.'s series
2007 public school academy revenue and refunding bonds.  The
outlook is stable.

"The lowered rating reflects our view of GTA's limited balance
sheet resources and its growing dependence on state-aid
anticipation notes to cover cash flow needs," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Shari Sikes.  "While general fund balances
appear to have improved in fiscals 2011 and fiscal 2010 on
positive operating results, the booking of sub-lease receivables
from the academy's management company for the use of equipment and
facilities that are later netted against the company's higher fee
for service inflates the academy's actual reserve position. Timing
of state aid note payments also causes cash on hand to be somewhat
overstated. So while enrollment is growing and operations are
covering debt service by at least 1 time, we believe the school's
liquidity is weaker than it appears and is more consistent with
'BB-' rated charter school medians," added Ms. Sikes.

GTA is a public charter school located in Traverse City, Mich. and
serves approximately 1,200 kindergarten through 12th grade
students.

GRUBB & ELLIS: Common Stock Suspends Trading on NYSE
----------------------------------------------------
NYSE Regulation, Inc., has determined that the common stock of
Grubb & Ellis Company (ticker symbol GBE) be suspended from
trading on the New York Stock Exchange prior to the market opening
on Friday, Jan. 6, 2012.  The Company expects to commence trading
on the over-the-counter market that same day under a symbol yet to
be determined.

NYSE Regulation has determined that the Company is no longer
eligible for listing under Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed
Company Manual in view of the fact that it has fallen below the
NYSE's continued listing standard regarding average global market
capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading day period of less
than $15 million, which is a minimum threshold for listing.

The Company had previously fallen below the NYSE's continued
listing standard for average global market capitalization over a
consecutive 30 trading day period of less than $50 million and
latest reported shareholders' equity of less than $50 million as
well as the average closing price of less than $1.00 over a
consecutive 30 trading day period.  The Company's business plan
was previously accepted by NYSE Regulation, however, in light of
the subsequent non-compliance with the aforementioned minimum
market capitalization standard, this plan process is no longer
available.

The Company has a right to a review of this determination by a
Committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation.
Application to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist
the issue is pending the completion of applicable procedures,
including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE Regulation staff's
decision.  The NYSE noted that it may, at any time, suspend a
security if it believes that continued dealings in the security on
the NYSE are not advisable.

of revenues for 2010, compared with a net loss of $80.5 million on
$527.9 million of revenues for 2009.

The Company also reported a net loss of $28.61 million on
$378.90 million of total revenue for the nine months ended Sept.
30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $58.56 million on
$372.38 million of total revenue for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$149.77 million in total assets, $152.74 million in total

The Company said it may seek additional financing prior to the
completion of its review of strategic alternatives.  It is
anticipated that any strategic alternative would include
provisions to extend, retire or refinance the Colony credit
facility at or prior to maturity.  If the Company is unable to
extend, retire or refinance the Colony credit facility prior to
maturity, it could create substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve month period
following the date of these financial statements.  The Company
believes that upon completion of its strategic alternative process
the Company will have sufficient liquidity to operate in the
normal course over the next twelve month period.


HANMI FINANCIAL: To Hold Annual Vote on Executive Compensation
--------------------------------------------------------------
As previously reported, Hanmi Financial Corporation's stockholders
voted, on an advisory basis, to conduct future stockholder
advisory votes on the compensation of the Company's named
executive officers on an annual basis.  The Board of Directors has
determined that the Company will conduct future stockholder
advisory votes on the compensation of its named executive officers
on an annual basis until the occurrence of the next required
advisory vote on the frequency of conducting future stockholder
advisory votes on the compensation of the Company's named
executive officers, which will be no later than the Company's
annual meeting of stockholders held in 2017, or until the Board of
Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such
stockholder advisory votes is in the best interest of the
Company's stockholders.

                       About Hanmi Financial

Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, Hanmi Financial Corp.
(Nasdaq: HAFC) -- http://www.hanmi.com/-- is the holding company
for Hanmi Bank, a state chartered bank with headquarters located
at 3660 Wilshire Boulevard, Penthouse Suite A, in Los Angeles.
Hanmi Bank provides services to the multi-ethnic communities of
California, with 27 full-service offices in Los Angeles, Orange,
San Bernardino, San Francisco, Santa Clara and San Diego counties,
and a   loan production office in Washington State.

The Company reported a net loss of $88.01 million on
$144.51 million of total interest and dividend income for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a net loss of $122.27 million
on $184.14 million during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$2.68 billion in total assets, $2.48 billion in total liabilities,
and $203.20 million in total stockholders' equity.

                           Going Concern

The Company is required by federal regulatory authorities to
maintain adequate levels of capital to support its operations.
Hanmi Bank is also required to increase its capital and maintain
certain regulatory capital ratios prior to certain dates specified
in a Final Order issued by the California Department of Financial
Institutions.  By July 31, 2010, the Bank was required to increase
its contributed equity capital by not less than an additional $100
million and maintain a ratio of tangible stockholders' equity to
total tangible assets of at least 9.0%.

In addition, the Bank was also required to maintain a ratio of
tangible stockholders' equity to total tangible assets of at least
9.5 percent at Dec. 31, 2010 and until the Final Order is
terminated.

As a result of the successful completion of the registered rights
and best efforts offering in July 2010, the capital contribution
requirement set forth in the Final Order was satisfied.  However,
the tangible capital ratio requirement set for in the Final Order
has not been satisfied at Dec. 31, 2010. Further, should the
Company's asset quality continue to erode and require significant
additional provision for credit losses, resulting in added future
net operating losses at the Bank, or should the Company otherwise
fail to be profitable, the Company's capital levels will
additionally decline requiring the raising of more capital than
the amount currently required to satisfy the Company' agreements
with its regulators.

The Company said an inability to raise additional capital when
needed or comply with the terms of the Final Order or the Written
Agreement with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern.

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm in
their audit report for fiscal year 2010 has expressed substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Continued operations may depend on the Company's ability to comply
with the regulatory orders the Company is subject to.

                      About Homeland Security

Homeland Security Capital Corporation is an international provider
of specialized technology-based radiological, nuclear,
environmental disaster relief and electronic security solutions to
government and commercial customers.

Coulter & Justus, P.C., in Knoxville, Tennessee, noted that
related party senior notes payable totaling $19,725,040 are due
and payable, the Company has incurred a loss from operations for
year ended June 30, 2011, and has a net capital deficiency in
addition to a working capital deficiency, which raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

In March 2008, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement
with YA Global Investments, L.P. pursuant to which the Company
sold to YA 10,000 shares of its Series H Convertible Preferred
Stock.  The Series H Stock is convertible into shares of Common
Stock at an initial ratio of 33,333 shares of Common Stock for
each share of Series H Stock, subject to adjustments -- including
the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Safety & Ecology Holdings
Corporation, achieving certain earnings milestones, as defined,
for the calendar years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Safety operates its business on a fiscal year ending June 30.
Safety achieved the first milestone for the calendar year ending
December 31, 2008.  However, the second financial milestone for
the calendar year ended December 31, 2009, has not been satisfied,
resulting in a potential adjustment to the conversion ratio
yielding approximately 56,300 shares of Common Stock for each
share of Series H Stock, or approximately a potential additional
230,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock in the aggregate.

Management is discussing with YA the possibility of a waiver or
amendment of any adjustment to the Series H Stock conversion
ratio, however there can be no assurances YA will waive or amend
the adjustment, if any, to the Series H Stock conversion ratio.
YA has not exercised its conversion rights as of February 22,
2010.

In June 2009 the Company entered into an agreement YA extending
the due date on its senior notes payable, and accrued interest, to
YA from March 14, 2010, until October 1, 2010, for $2,500,000 and
April 1, 2011, for $10,560,000.  In exchange, the Company agreed
to an increase in the interest rate, from 13% to 15%, on the
senior notes payable and certain other debt due to YA, effective
January 1, 2010, if the Company failed to secure a certain
contract by March 2010.  In December 2009, the Company was
informed that it had been eliminated from the award process for
this contract. Accordingly, the Company will begin recording
interest expense at the increased rate effective Jan. 1, 2010.

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 10, 2011, Homeland Security entered
into a Forbearance Agreement by and among YA Global Investments,
L.P., as lender, Homeland Security Advisory Services, Inc.,
Celerity Systems, Inc., and Nexus Technology Group, Inc., pursuant
to which the Lender agreed to forbear from exercising its rights
and remedies under the Financing Documents and applicable law with
respect to one or more Events of Default that have occurred and
are continuing as a consequence of the Company having failed to
pay, when due at maturity, all outstanding principal and accrued
and unpaid interest under the Company's outstanding debt with the
Lender.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$39.83 million in total assets, $45.47 million in total
liabilities, $169,768 in warrants payable, and a $5.81 million
total stockholders' deficit.

INT'L ENVIRONMENTAL: Court Dismisses Ch. 11 Reorganization Case
---------------------------------------------------------------
International Environmental Solutions Corporation asked the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California to dismiss
its request to reopen the case, and refund the $1,000 filing fee.

In a Dec. 20, hearing, the Court granted, in part, the motion to
dismiss and expunge the Debtor's Chapter 11 case.  The Court found
insufficient evidence exists to conclude that either of the
competing two groups of directors of the Debtor has been duly
constituted and elected by the shareholders of the Debtor.

Shareholder Steven Thompson filed a motion for an order to
dismiss and expunge the case.  Shareholder and unsecured creditor
Karen Bertram joined in the request.

The Court did not the request for expungement.

In its order dismissing the case, the Court ruled that the Debtor
is prohibited from filing another bankruptcy case until either
(1)(a) a duly and properly noticed shareholder meeting occurs at
which a board of directors is properly elected; and (b) that newly
elected board passes a new resolution authorizing the filing of a
new bankruptcy case; or (2) a nonbankruptcy court issues an order
affirming the power and validity of a board of directors for the
Debtor (either one of the existing competing boards or some other
new group of directors) and that group of directors approved by
the nonbankruptcy court approves the filing of another bankruptcy
case.

KOREA TECHNOLOGY: Deadline This Week on Reply to Sale Protest
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. R. Kimball Mosier of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Utah approved the stipulation extending until Jan. 13,
2012, the deadline for Korea Technology Industry America, Inc., et
al., to respond to the creditors' motion to alter and amend order
approving sale of substantially all of the Debtors' assets.

The stipulation was entered among the Debtors and creditors --
Western Energy Partners, LLC, Elgin Services Company, Inc., and
Tar Sands Holdings, LLC.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Jan. 4, 2012,
secured creditors asked the Court to amend its order approving the
sale or sales of substantially all of the assets of the Debtors to
address deficiencies in the Asset Purchase Agreement between the
Debtors, as sellers and Rutter and Wilbanks Corporation, as buyer.

The Secured Creditors told the Court that the APA was a hastily
constructed document, and that it was pieced together during the
course of an evidentiary hearing with little or no opportunity for
parties in interest to contemplate its actual implementation and
to address its many internal inconsistencies and shortcomings.
For the benefit of the Debtors estate and creditors, and to avoid
costly future litigation, according to the Secured Creditors, the
Court must amend the Sale Order to address these deficiencies:

   A. There is No Mechanism for Determining the Amount to be
      Paid.

   B. By Its Terms, the APA is Not Enforceable and May Never
      Become Enforceable.

   C. There is No Mechanism in the APA or in the Sale Order That
      Requires the Buyer to Demonstrate the Ability to Close
      Prior to The Closing Date.

   D. The Consequences of a "Force Majeure" Event are Inconsistent
      and Contradictory.

   E. There Is No Protection For Losses or Damages Caused by the
      Buyer To The Assets if the Buyer does not Close.

LIBERATOR INC: Taps Trilogy to Lead Investor Relations Drive

drive investor awareness for Liberator as it capitalizes on the
rising demand for sexual wellness products online and increasingly
in mainstream retail stores in the United States and around the
world.  Trilogy will aim to generate sustainable market interest
in Liberator, Inc., while supporting Liberator's commitment to
growth in revenues, earnings and shareholder value.

"The depth of market experience represented by the Trilogy team,
combined with Liberator's high-growth focus on the sexual wellness
industry, make the timing of this relationship ideal," said Louis

"As a pioneer and early leader in the sexual wellness industry,
Liberator is poised to benefit from the rapid shift to mainstream
demand for bedroom products as exemplified by their expansion into
mass market retailers such as Walgreens.com, drugstore.com and
VitaminShoppe.com," said Darren Minton, President of Trilogy.  "We
are pleased to have the opportunity to work with Mr. Friedman and
his team to bring Liberator's impressive growth story to the
attention of the global investment community."

as well as products for major retailers which embrace the sexual
wellness category of products.  Realizing the importance of brand
awareness, the Company continues to be at the forefront of

                     About Lithium Technology

Plymouth Meeting, Pa.-based Lithium Technology Corporation is a
mid-volume production stage company that develops large format
lithium-ion rechargeable batteries to be used as a new power
source for emerging applications in the automotive, stationary
power, and national security markets.

The Company reported a net loss of $7.25 million on $6.35 million
of products and services sales for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010,
compared with a net loss of $10.51 million on $7.37 million of
product and services sales during the prior year.

The Company reported a net loss of $12.26 million on $6.06 million
of total revenue for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011,
compared with a net loss of $5.52 million on $4.51 million of
total revenue for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed $8.83
million in total assets, $35.09 million in total liabilities and a
$26.26 million total stockholders' deficit.

                          Going Concern

As reported by the TCR on April 8, 2011, Amper, Politziner &
Mattia, LLP, Edison, New Jersey, after auditing the Company's
financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, noted that
the Company has recurring losses from operations since inception
and has a working capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

The Company's operating plan seeks to minimize its capital
requirements, but the expansion of its production capacity to meet
increasing sales and refinement of its manufacturing process and
equipment will require additional capital.

The Company raised capital through the sale of securities closing
in the second quarter of 2011 and realized proceeds from the
licensing of its technology pursuant to the terms of a licensing
agreement and the sale of inventory used in manufacturing its
batteries as part of the establishment of a joint venture in the
fourth quarter of 2011, but is continuing to seek other financing
initiatives and needs to raise additional capital to meet its
working capital needs, for the repayment of debt and for capital
expenditures.  Such capital is expected to come from the sale of
securities.  The Company believes that if it raises approximately
$4 million in additional debt and equity financings it would have
sufficient funds to meet its needs for working capital, capital
expenditures and expansion plans through the year ending Dec. 31,
2012.

No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in
completing any financings at the minimum level necessary to fund
its capital equipment, debt repayment or working capital
requirements, or at all.  If the Company is unsuccessful in
completing these financings, it will not be able to meet its
working capital, debt repayment or capital equipment needs or
execute its business plan.  In that case the Company will assess
all available alternatives including a sale of its assets or
merger, the suspension of operations and possibly liquidation,
auction, bankruptcy, or other measures.  These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

                           *     *     *

Lodgenet carries a 'B3' long term corporate family rating and a
'Caa1' probability of default rating, with 'stable' outlook, from
Moody's.  It has 'B' long term foreign and local issuer credit
ratings, with 'stable' outlook, from Standard & Poor's.

"In Moody's opinion, continued cautious investment from LodgeNet's
hotel customers will hamper intermediate term growth in its core
hospitality services business, and over the long term competing
forms of entertainment will pressure this revenue stream as the
company seeks to defend its relevance to both hotel operators and
hotel guests.  The B3 corporate family rating incorporates these
weak growth prospects, mitigated somewhat by the company's
moderately high financial risk profile and demonstrated capacity
to generate positive free cash flow throughout challenging
economic conditions, along with a measure of stability from the
monthly fees it receives from hotels regardless of occupancy,"
Moody's said in October 2010.


LOMBARD PUBLIC: S&P Lowers Rating on $53.995-Mil. Bonds to 'CCC'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its underlying rating
to 'CCC' from 'B-' on Lombard Public Facilities Corp.'s (LPFC)
$53.995 million series 2005A-2 convention center and hotel first-
tier revenue bonds. "Our recovery rating on the series A bonds is
unchanged at '4', indicating an expectation of average (30% to
50%) recovery in the event of default. We believe that recovery
for the first-tier bonds would be at the lower end of the range.
At the same time, we lowered the rating to 'CCC' from 'B-' on
LPFC's $45.005 million series 2005B convention center and hotel
second-tier revenue bonds. The outlook on all ratings is
negative," S&P said.

"The rating action reflects our view of the village board's vote
in the last week of 2011 to not approve a requested payment of
$911,747.94 to cover a shortfall in the January 2012 debt service
payment," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Ben Macdonald.

"We had previously anticipated that the village would provide as
much as $2 million annually to the project, as specified in the
project indenture and tax rebate agreement," S&P said.

The senior project bonds, series 2005A-1 and 2005A-2, are secured
by net operating revenues, a number of first-tier debt reserves,
and an annual special reserve of as much as $2 million funded by
the Village of Lombard as defined in the project tax rebate
agreement. The village payment is subject to appropriation.

This is the first time that the project has called upon the
village to make a payment on the series A bonds under the bond
documents.

The series 2005B bonds are secured by net operating revenues plus
the village's tax rebate agreement, but the rating for this series
is the same as the rating on the series 2005A-2 bonds due to
certain common events of default in the indenture of trust that
link the two series of bonds.

"The LPFC unsuccessfully tried to restructure the project debt in
March 2011, with the majority of lenders not accepting the
proposal. The LPFC believes the project, with its current capital
structure, will not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to
support ongoing obligations. The village board's decision to not
provide additional project funds in December 2011 was unanimous,
and we believe it may be an effort to encourage bondholders to
restructure the project debt. Under management projections, which
assume slow growth and stabilization at 68% in 2015, the first-
tier bonds will default at the end of 2014 or in 2015. We believe
the board will continue to take steps to restructure the debt,"
S&P said.

"The project has been operating with a debt service coverage (DSC)
ratio of less than 1x since commercial operations began in 2007.
Both the hotel and restaurant underperformed and are ramping up at
a pace that is much slower than anticipated. The recession hurt
the project, with the hotel opening just before the hospitality
sector had its worst decline in more than 40 years, and the
restaurant struggles in an extremely competitive market with fewer
people dining out," S&P said.

"The project previously drew on cash in available reserve
accounts, including the operating reserve and capitalized interest
accounts, to fund operating shortfalls to date. These accounts are
now exhausted or at minimum balances. Under the project waterfall,
the next source of funds is the Village of Lombard support amount,
followed by the first-tier debt service reserve fund. In light of
the funds that we had anticipated the village would provide, we
had projected DSC, including all furniture, fixtures, and
equipment (FF&E) spending, to increase to more than 1.00x by 2015
from 0.88x in 2012," S&P said.

"Without village support, we anticipate that the project will
achieve a DSC of 0.65x in 2012 and continue to operate with
coverage of less than 1x for the foreseeable future. We also have
no reason to anticipate that the Village will make payments under
its pledge in later payment periods. The Series A debt service
reserve fund (DSRF) was funded with $9.575 million cash as of Dec.
30, 2011 (prior to the January 2012 payment). Our base case
scenario predicts the project would default on debt service in
2015 after exhausting the DSRF to fund hotel operating shortfalls
and FF&E funding requirements. We include FF&E funding as a fixed
obligation to maintain the hotel property and meet the maintenance
requirements of Starwood, the hotel operator. Ignoring the FF&E
funding obligations, we still anticipate that the project will
deplete its reserve and default in 2019," S&P said.

"The recovery rating is unchanged at '4', indicating an
expectation of 30% to 50% recovery following default. In our
default and recovery case, we assume no payment from the village,
a reduction in occupancy to a stable rate of 55%, and an increase
in operating costs. Default occurs in 2015, and recovery comes
from the present value of future net hotel revenues after FF&E
funding obligations are paid," S&P said.

MERCHANTS MORTGAGE: Securities Holders Accept Prepackaged Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Merchants Mortgage & Trust Corporation, LLC, filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado a Prepackaged
Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization and an accompanying Disclosure
Statement on Dec. 23, 2011.

The Plan places holders of the Debtor's securities under three
separate classes.  Under the Plan:

  (a) Holders of the 2012EX Subordinated Debentures, Series
      2012AEX Subordinated Debentures, and the Series 2016
      Subordinated Debentures will exchange their respective
      Debentures for newly issued preferred A Units.  Each
      Debenture will receive one Preferred A Unit for each
      $1,000.00 of Allowed Claim;

  (b) Holders of outstanding preferred units will exchange their
      respective Units for newly issued common A Units.  The
      Existing Preferred Unit Holders will receive one Common A
      Unit for each Existing Preferred Unit; and

  (c) Holders of outstanding common units will exchange their
      respective Existing Common Units for newly issued common B
      Units.

The Debtor proposes to offer 24,400.214 Preferred A Units, 98,833
Common A Units, and 1,029,529 Common B Units.

The Plan was accepted by 60.8% of debenture holders, 58.8% of the
holders of the outstanding preferred units and 66.3% of holders of
outstanding common units.

The Plan was accepted by 69.9% of the total amount of debentures,
holders of 61.7% of the total amount of outstanding preferred
units and holders of 85.3% of the outstanding common units.

The Debtor asks the Court to enter an order setting a combined
hearing on the adequacy of the Debtor's Disclosure Statement and
confirmation of the Debtor's Prepackaged Plan.

MUNICIPAL MORTGAGE: MuniMae Agrees to Buy $20 Million Securities
----------------------------------------------------------------
MuniMae TEI Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of Municipal Mortgage &
Equity, LLC, entered into a junior subordinated securities
purchase agreement with the holders of junior subordinated
securities due May 3, 2034, issued by MMA Financial Holdings,
Inc., another subsidiary of the Company, under a junior
subordinated indenture dated as of July 31, 2009, between MFH and
Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee.

Also on Dec. 30, 2011, MFH obtained the consent of the holders of
the Securities to a proposed supplemental indenture to the
Indenture.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Consent, the
Purchaser has agreed to purchase from the holders of the
Securities, and the holders have agreed to sell to the Purchaser
$20,000,000 of the $58,420,000 in Securities outstanding under the
Indenture for a cash purchase price of $5,000,000.  The holders
have further agreed to an amendment to the Indenture which will
extend the period during which interest is payable on the
Securities at the reduced rate of 0.75% per annum so that it
extends to February 2014 rather than the current date in February
2012, which significantly reduces the Company's cash outflows over
the next two years.  An amount equal to the interest foregone as a
result of this extension will be added to the principal amount of
Securities outstanding.

For financial reporting purposes, the transaction will have the
following effects.  On the settlement date, the Company will
reduce the carrying value of its debt by the amount of cash paid
to the Securities' holders.  The remaining $15,000,000 reduction
in principal resulting from the discounted purchase, as well as
the $6,723,500 increase in principal resulting from the foregone
interest will be recognized over the remaining life of the
Securities consistent with troubled debt restructurings.  This
will result in an $8,276,500 increase in common shareholder equity
over the remaining life of the Securities.  In addition, because
the reduction in principal from the purchase exceeds the increase
to principal from the foregone interest, the Company will accrue
and pay significantly less interest expense over the remaining
life of the Securities.

After the interest payment date in February 2014, the interest
rate on the Securities will reset to a rate of 9.5% per annum
until May 5, 2014 and (ii) after May 5, 2014 a rate, determined on
each interest payment date for the period ending on the next
interest payment date, which is equal to the greater of (a) 9.5%
per annum or (b) the rate per annum which is equal to 6.00% plus
the U.S. Treasury Rate.

The Securities will remain guaranteed by the Company as before.

It is anticipated that the purchase and sale and the entry into
the supplemental indenture described above will settle prior to
Jan. 31, 2012.

                     About Municipal Mortgage

Baltimore, Md.-based Municipal Mortgage & Equity, LLC (Pink
Sheets: MMAB) -- http://www.munimae.com/-- was organized in 1996
as a Delaware limited liability company and is classified as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes.

When the Company became a publicly traded company in 1996, it was
primarily engaged in originating, investing in and servicing tax-
exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued by state and local government
authorities to finance affordable multifamily housing
developments.  Since then, the Company made several acquisitions
that significantly expanded its business.  However, in 2008, due
to the financial crisis, the Company began contracting its
business.

The Company has sold, liquidated or closed down all of its
different businesses except for its bond investing activities and
certain assets and residual interests related to the businesses
and assets that the Company sold due to its liquidity issues.

The Company has a majority position in International Housing
Solutions S.a.r.l., a partnership that was formed to promote and
invest in affordable housing in overseas markets.  In addition, at
Dec. 31, 2010, the Company has an unfunded equity commitment of
$5.1 million, or 2.67% of total committed capital with respect to
its role as the general partner to the South Africa Workforce
Housing Fund SA I ("SA Fund").  The SA Fund was formed to invest
directly or indirectly in housing development projects and housing
sector companies in South Africa.  A portion of the funding of SA
Fund is participating debt provided by the United States Overseas
Private Investment Corporation, a federal government entity, and
the remainder is equity primarily invested by institutional and
large private investors.  The Company expects to continue this
business.

The Company also reported a net loss of $47.59 million on
$73.87 million of total revenue for the nine months ended
Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $69.65 million on
$80.05 million of total revenue for the same period during the
prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$1.93 billion in total assets, $1.22 billion in total liabilities
and $707.23 million in total equity.

As reported by the TCR on April 6, 2011, KPMG LLP, in Baltimore,
Maryland, expressed substantial doubt about Municipal Mortgage &
Equity's ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has been negatively impacted by
the deterioration of the capital markets and has liquidity issues
which have resulted in the Company having to sell assets,
liquidate collateral positions, post additional collateral, sell
or close different business segments and work with its creditors
to restructure or extend its debt arrangements.

Municipal Mortgage reported a net loss of $72.5 million on
$107.7 million of total revenue for 2010, compared with a net loss
of $380.1 million on $134.8 million of total revenue for 2009.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

The Company's ability to restructure its debt is especially
important with respect to the subordinated debentures.  The
weighted average pay rate on the remaining $196.7 million (unpaid
principal balance) of subordinated debentures was 2.1% at
Sept. 30, 2011.  The Company's pay rates are due to increase in
the first and second quarters of 2012, which will bring the
weighted average pay rate to approximately 8.6%.  The Company does
not currently have the liquidity to meet these increased payments.
In addition, substantially all of the Company's assets are
encumbered, which limits its ability to increase its liquidity by
selling assets or incurring additional indebtedness.  There is
also uncertainty related to the Company's ability to liquidate
non-bond related assets at sufficient amounts to satisfy
associated debt and other obligations and there are a number of
business risks surrounding the Company's bond investing activities
that could impact its ability to generate sufficient cash flow
from the bond portfolio.  These uncertainties could adversely
impact the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
In the event the Company is not successful in restructuring or
settling its remaining non-bond related debt, or in generating
liquidity from the sale of non-bond related assets or if the bond
portfolio net interest income and the common equity distributions
the Company receives from its subsidiaries are substantially
reduced, the Company may have to consider seeking relief through a
bankruptcy filing.


NEBRASKA BOOK: Closes 7 Underperforming Off-Campus Stores
---------------------------------------------------------
NBC Acquisition Corp. and its subsidiaries, including Nebraska
Book Company disclosed plans to close 7 of its off-campus
bookstore locations by filing a Notice of Rejection of Unexpired
Lease with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
The stores will remain open for the back-to-school rush this
January and will close in mid-to-late February 2012.  The Company
also announced that it obtained an extension from approximately 40
additional off- campus stores to continue evaluation of
performance and negotiation efforts with landlords through April
30, 2012.  The Company's on-campus bookstores are not impacted by
this announcement.

"Over the past couple of months we have been taking a close look
at our off-campus stores to study performance and future
prospects," said Barry Major, the Company's President.  "The
changes in our industry over the last few years have been
especially difficult for our off-campus bookstores and we are
taking this time to ensure that we are making decisions that
improve our bottom line."

After entering the Chapter 11 process, Nebraska Book Company
initiated a comprehensive review of its 138 off-campus bookstore
locations to ensure that each store was beneficial to the future
growth of the Company.  The Company obtained a consensual
extension of the court-ordered deadline to assume or reject real-
property releases from a number of the Company's off-campus
locations to continue reviewing performance through April 30,
2012.  "Our on-campus stores continue to perform well and it is
our plan to expand the Company in this direction. Many schools are
looking to out-source their bookstore operations and we are
excited about growing this area of our business. We currently have
approximately 170 on-campus stores and they continue to excel,"
said Major.

"Closing bookstores is not an easy decision, as our dedicated
employees and campus communities are being affected," continued
Major.  "Nonetheless, we have an obligation to do what is in the
best interest of our Company.  The Chapter 11 process allows us to
initiate store closings as it will improve our overall financial
performance; something that will be good for the company."

"Providing our customers with superior products and services has
been our primary goal from the beginning and we will not waiver,"
said Major.  "Our online business is moving forward and gaining
the momentum we knew it would and our rental business continues to
be more and more popular each semester.  We continue to rollout
technology solutions that are in demand and they have been well
received in the market.  Our company has been around nearly 100
years and in that time has developed a great reputation within the
industry that has been extremely supportive these past few months
as we have moved through this process.  We simply could not have
done this without the understanding of our business partners who
have stood by us during this effort.  They understand this is a
capital structure issue, not a fundamental business issue and we
are truly thankful for their support."

The 7 off-campus stores that will be closed include: GotUsed
Bookstore -- Pittsburgh, PA; The College Store -- Akron, OH;
Spirit Shop -- Lubbock, TX; Traditions Bookstore - Woodstone --
College Station, TX; Chattanooga Books -- Chattanooga, TN; Madison
Textbooks -- Madison, WI; and Florida Book Store Volume III --
Gainesville, FL.

NEXSTAR BROADCASTING: Receives $6.7MM from Sale of Four Points
--------------------------------------------------------------
Nexstar Broadcasting Group, Inc., received a payment of
$6.7 million comprised of management and incentive fees earned for
2011 as well as a termination payment, related to the sale of Four
Points Media Group LLC, by an affiliate of Cerberus Capital
Management, L.P., to Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc.  Approximately
$4.7 million of the payment will be recognized in Nexstar's fourth
quarter ended Dec. 31, 2011, and the balance of approximately $2.0
will be recognized in the first quarter of 2012 (ending March 31).
Nexstar will use the payment made by Cerberus under the management
services agreement for debt reduction and general corporate
purposes.  The management services agreement with Four Points
terminated effective with the closing of the sale of its stations
to Sinclair on Jan. 3, 2012.

Nexstar Broadcasting Group Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer, Perry A. Sook commented, "The Four Points transaction is
the culmination of our efforts on behalf of Cerberus to improve
the market position and operating efficiencies of these stations
and create value for the group.  We are confident that under
Sinclair's management, the markets, viewers and advertisers served
by these stations will benefit from a continued focus on quality
programming and community service.  We believe the positive
outcome from this transaction for Cerberus, Four Points and
Sinclair positions us well to enter into other management services
agreements."

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 30, 2010,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Nexstar Broadcasting Group to 'B' from 'B-'.  The rating
outlook is stable.

"The 'B' corporate credit rating reflects S&P's expectation that
Nexstar's core ad revenue will continue growing modestly in 2010
and 2011," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Deborah Kinzer.
The EBITDA growth resulting from the rebound in core advertising,
combined with political ad revenue from the 2010 midterm
elections, should, in S&P's view, enable Nexstar to reduce its
leverage significantly by the end of the year.

OPEN RANGE: Hires Counsel RB and Heritage Global as Auctioneers
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Kevin J. Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware authorized Open Range Communications Inc., to
hire Counsel RB Capital, LLC, and Heritage Global Partners, Inc.,
as auctioneers and sales agents, nunc pru tunc to Dec. 5, 2011.

The Debtor is seeking approval to hold an auction on Jan. 11 and
Jan. 12, 2012, for the sale of its assets.  In connection with the
auction, the Debtor has entered into the Guaranteed Sale
Agreement, whereby CRB and HGP is engaged to conduct the auction
of the Debtor's assets, subject to court approval.  The principal
terms of the Agreement states:

   a) Auction of Assets: The Auctioneers will conduct the auction
      for assets on Jan. 11 and Jan. 12, 2012.

   b) Assets: The assets include: radio access and network
      equipment packages housed on towers, spare network and
      customer premise equipment inventory, "non-network"
      assets, including, office equipment, furniture, computers
      and other personal property located at the Debtor's
      offices and main warehouse in Colorado and on towers
      and remote storage locations in approximately 12 other
      states.

   c) Excluded Assets: The assets do not include these:
      (i) service vehicles, (ii) leased assets, (iii) cash,
      (iv) accounts receivable, (v) causes of action, (vi)
      any previously disposed of or abandoned assets.

   d) Net Guaranty: The auctioneers will conduct the auction
      and provide a minimum cash guaranty to the Debtor in
      the amount of $1,000,000 payable upon entry of a final
      and non-appealable order of the Court approving this
      application.

   e) Buyer Premium: The auctioneers will charge a standard
      buyer's premium of 15% of the aggregate gross proceeds
      for the sale of an Asset or lot of Assets, payable by
      the buyers of such assets; provided, however, that
      certain buyers shall be obliged to pay: (i) an amount
      equal to 16.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds for
      internet sales since the auctioneers are obligated to
      pay its internet provider or such other third party
      a commission or internet related fee; and (ii) 18%
      of the aggregate gross sale proceeds for credit card
      purchasers (collectively, the "Buyer Premium").  The
      Debtor is not responsible for any unpaid portion of
      the Buyer Premium.

   f) Sales Commission: A sales commission equal to 2.5%
      payable to the Auctioneers for all sale proceeds in
      excess of $1,070,000.

   g) Expense Reimbursement: Reimbursement to the auctioneers of
      actually incurred and reasonable expenses (including,
      without limitation, labor, advertising, travel and lodging,
      digital photography of the assets, print and electronic
      media production, brochure and catalog production, and
      telemarketing) up to $70,000 (the "Auction Expenses").

   h) Indemnification: The auctioneers are entitled to
      indemnification as a result of the Debtor's material
      misrepresentation of the warranties described in Section 14
      of the Agreement as is limited by the terms of the order
      approving the application.

   i) Term: The term of the engagement of the auctioneers shall
      expire on Jan. 31, 2012.

Neither CRB nor HGP (a) has any present connection with Debtor,
Debtor's creditors, or other parties-in-interest or (b) holds or
represents any interest adverse to the estate.  CRB and HGP
professionals thus are disinterested within the meaning of 11
U.S.C. Sec 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

------------------------------------------------------

2010.  As of Sept. 30, 2010, the Bank was considered

"The Bank [OptimumBank] has experienced recent and continuing
increases in nonperforming assets, declining net interest margin,
increases in provisions for loan losses, continuing high levels of
noninterest expenses related to the credit problems, and eroding
regulatory capital which raise substantial doubt about the Bank's
ability to continue as a going concern," the Company said in its
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2010.

The Company's continuing high levels of nonperforming assets,
declining net interest margin, continuing high levels of
noninterest expenses related to the credit problems, and eroding
regulatory capital raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.

PHILLIPS RENTAL: Taps Bearfield & Assoc. to Probe Causes of Action
------------------------------------------------------------------
Phillips Rental Properties, LLC, in an amended motion, asks the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee for
permission to employ the law firm of Bearfield & Associates as
special counsel.

The Debtor related that at the first hearing, certain of the
objecting parties noted concerns with what they characterized as
"vagueness" in the types of proposed matters for which special
counsel would be assisting the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy estate.

The Debtor relates that the counsel will investigate other
possible causes of action arising out of contracts and other
business relationships between Debtor and third parties prior to
and leading up to Bankruptcy.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 2, 2011,
Bearfield & Associates is not disinterested because it has
represented the Debtor in the past and some creditors of the
Debtor.  However, Law firm is not disqualified for employment as
special counsel by Applicant pursuant to 11 U.S.C.A. Sec. 327(e)
because of its status because, as appears from the Affidavits of
Rick J. Bearfield and Jason B. Shorter, attorneys at Bearfield &
Associates, the law firm does not represent or hold any interest
adverse to the Debtor or its estate with respect to the special
matters upon which such firm is to be employed.

REAL MEX: Debtor & Lenders Oppose Lawsuit by Creditors' Panel
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the official committee for Real Mex Restaurants Inc.
will face united opposition at a Jan. 10 hearing from the
restaurant operator, first-lien lenders and second-lien lenders
when the creditors' panel seeks permission to sue secured
creditors to establish defects in their collateral packages.

According to the report, Real Mex says that the cost of litigation
by the committee will eat up more than unsecured creditors stand
to recover in the Chapter 11 case, where secured debt exceeds the
value of the business.  Real Mex's business is scheduled to be
sold at auction on Jan. 26.

The Debtor, the report notes, noted that the lenders agree some
assets are not part of their collateral.  They acknowledge that
they must bid some cash for those assets, even if they purchase
the bulk of the business in exchange for secured debt, Real Mex
said.  The cash will be sopped up by liens given to finance the
Chapter 11 case, the company said.

Mr. Rochelle notes that permission to sue is also opposed by some
of the second-lien lenders, which characterized the committee as
conjuring "every conceivable roadblock to a sale in an effort to
leverage a recovery by unsecured creditors that they are not
otherwise entitled to receive."  The first-lien noteholders are
also opposed to allowing a lawsuit in advance of the auction.

                    About Real Mex Restaurants

Based in Cypress, California, Real Mex Restaurants, Inc., owns and

discontinued as of Dec. 28, 2011. Effective Dec. 29, 2011, the
Company's stock was quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace under the
symbol "RDDY".  The OTCQB is a market tier for over-the-counter-
traded companies that are registered and reporting with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

The transition of the Company's common stock to the OTCQB is not
expected to change, affect or impact:

   -- The Company's obligation to file periodic and other reports
      with the SEC under applicable federal securities laws; or

   -- The Company's shareholder's ability to trade the Company's
      common stock on the OTCQB.

                          About Reddy Ice

Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc. is a manufacturer and distributor of
packaged ice in the United States.  With approximately 1,500 year-
round employees, the Company sells its products primarily under
the widely known Reddy Ice(R) brand to a variety of customers in
34 states and the District of Columbia.  The Company provides a
broad array of product offerings in the marketplace through
traditional direct store delivery, warehouse programs and its
proprietary technology, The Ice Factory(R).  Reddy Ice serves most
significant consumer packaged goods channels of distribution, as
well as restaurants, special entertainment events, commercial
users and the agricultural sector.

The Company also reported a net loss of $36.15 million on $273.57
million of revenue for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011,
compared with a net loss of $11.47 million on $260.20 million of
revenue for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed $460.94
million in total assets, $525.26 million in total liabilities and
a $64.32 million total stockholders' deficit.

                           *     *     *

Reddy Ice carries 'B-' issuer credit ratings, with "negative"
outlook, from Standard & Poor's.

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 8, 2011, Moody's Investors Service
lowered Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc.'s corporate family and
probability-of-default ratings to Caa1 from B3, and its $12
million senior discount notes due 2012 to Caa3 from Caa2. Moody's
also lowered the rating on Reddy Ice Corporation's $300 million
first lien senior secured notes due 2015 to B3 from B2 and the
$139 million second lien notes due 2015 to Caa3 from Caa2. The
ratings outlook remains negative.  The speculative grade liquidity
rating was affirmed at SGL-3.

The ratings downgrade reflects Moody's expectation that Reddy
Ice's operating performance is unlikely to materially improve over
the foreseeable future given the uncertain macro environment and
the competitive nature of the U.S. packaged ice industry.

SEARS HOLDINGS: S&P Lowers Corporate Credit Rating to 'CCC+'
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Hoffman Estates, Ill.-based Sears Holdings Corp. to
'CCC+' from 'B'. "We removed the rating from CreditWatch, where we
had placed it with negative implications on Dec. 28, 2011. We are
also lowering the short-term and commercial paper rating to 'C'
from 'B-2'. The rating outlook is negative," S&P said.

"The corporate credit rating reflects our projection that Sears'
EBITDA will be negative in 2012, given our expectations for
continued sales and margin pressure," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Ana Lai. She added, "We further expect that
liquidity could be constrained in 2013 absent a turnaround
or substantial asset sales to fund operating losses."

"We now expect EBITDA in fiscal 2011 (ending Jan. 31, 2012) to be
about $300 million compared with $1.3 billion in fiscal 2010,
based on the negative mid-single-digit same-store sales at both
Sears and Kmart for the eight-week period ended Dec. 25, 2011. As
a result of the steep decline in cash flow, we expect total debt
to EBITDA to climb to about 11x and interest coverage to dwindle
to 1.2x in fiscal 2011, compared with 4.8x and 2.6x a year ago,
respectively. Free cash flow will be negative in fiscal 2011,
given about $400 million in capital expenditures and required
pension contributions. Sears also repurchased $163 million in
shares for the nine months ended Oct. 29, 2011. Overall, given
these factors, we view Sears' financial risk profile as 'highly
leveraged' (based on our criteria)," S&P said.

"The outlook is negative. We could lower the rating if we believe
Sears' liquidity will become further constrained if the revolver
usage is faster than we expect. This could come from an
acceleration of Sears' operating decline or increasing working
capital usage. Although unlikely in the next year, we could
take a positive rating action if the company can turn its
operating performance around and achieve sustainable sales growth
and improve profitability," S&P said.

STERLING INFOSYSTEMS: Moody's Assigns 'B2' Corp. Family Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned B2 ratings to Sterling
Infosystems, Inc.'s proposed $180 million senior secured credit
facilities. Proceeds from the transaction will help finance a
strategic acquisition and refinance existing credit facilities.
Moody's also assigned a B2 Corporate Family Rating and B3
Probability of Default Rating. The assigned ratings are subject to
Moody's review of the final terms and conditions of the proposed
transaction expected to close in the first quarter of 2012. The
rating outlook is stable.

Assignments:

   Issuer: Sterling Infosystems, Inc.

   -- Corporate Family Rating, Assigned B2

   -- Probability of Default Rating, Assigned B3

   -- $20 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility due
      2017, Assigned B2 LGD3 32%

   -- $160 million Senior Secured Term Loan due 2018, Assigned B2
      LGD3 32%

   -- Outlook, Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE

Sterling has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Acxiom
Information Security Services from Acxiom Corporation (Ba2,
stable) for $74 million. The transaction is expected to be funded
with a portion of the proceeds from a new $160 million senior
secured term loan and a modest draw on a new $20 million senior
secured revolving credit facility. The remaining funds will be
used to refinance existing credit facilities and pay transaction-
related fees and expenses.

The B2 CFR is constrained by high financial leverage, small scale,
narrow product focus, and an acquisitive financial philosophy.
Moody's estimates initial leverage in the mid 4 times Debt/EBITDA
range excluding the benefit of operating synergies from recent
acquisitions, which, assuming management is able to meet its
targets, reduces leverage to the mid 3 times range on a pro forma
basis. Moody's does not expect meaningful near-term improvement in
employment conditions, which limits organic growth potential, but
Sterling stands to benefit from its market position and diverse
customer base as employment measures return towards historical
levels over a longer horizon. The rating also favorably considers
the company's flexible cost structure, track record of integrating
acquired businesses, and a significant component of sponsor and
management equity in the proposed transaction.

Moody's expects free cash flow generation should provide adequate
coverage for the $1.6 million required for annual term loan
amortization and any acquisition earn-out payments. A $20 million
revolving credit facility will provide additional liquidity
support. Moody's expects a modest draw on the revolver at closing,
but Moody's does not expect Sterling will rely on revolving credit
to fund its operating needs over the next year. Moody's expects
the credit agreement to contain flexibility to pursue debt-
financed acquisitions within its financial maintenance covenants,
which could include the use of revolving credit. Moody's expects
the covenants will be set at customary levels and that the company
will maintain a good cushion of compliance over the near-term.

The stable rating outlook anticipates that the company will
successfully integrate recently acquired businesses, achieve
meaningful cost synergies, and reduce leverage towards 3.5 times
by the end of 2012. The outlook further assumes that Sterling will
be able to fund integration expenses and debt payments with free
cash flow, and will maintain an adequate liquidity position.

Moody's could take a positive action if Sterling increases its
EBITDA generation, expands its free cash flow cushion, and
improves its liquidity position. Given the scale and acquisitive
strategy, specific metrics required for an upgrade include
financial leverage approaching 3 times and free cash flow in
excess of 10% of debt. Conversely, Moody's could take a negative
action if Moody's expected financial leverage above 5 times,
minimal free cash flow, or a substantive deterioration in
Sterling's liquidity position.

The principal methodology used in rating Sterling Infosystems,
Inc. was the Business and Consumer Service Industry Methodology
published in October 2010. Other methodologies used include Loss
Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the
U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.

Sterling Infosystems, Inc. provides pre and post-employment
verification services including criminal background checks, prior
employment, and other screening services. Sterling is privately
held with approximately $180 million of pro forma annual revenue.


STERLING INFOSYSTEMS: S&P Assigns Prelim. B Corporate Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its preliminary 'B'
corporate credit rating to New York City-based Sterling
Infosystems Inc. The outlook is stable.

"At the same time, we assigned our preliminary 'B' issue-level
rating to the company's proposed senior secured credit facilities,
which consist of a $160 million first-lien term loan due 2018 and
a $20 million revolving credit facility due 2017. The preliminary
recovery rating is '3', which indicates our expectation for
lenders to receive meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery in the
event of a payment default," S&P said.

"The speculative-grade ratings on Sterling reflect Standard &
Poor's business risk profile assessment of 'vulnerable' and
financial risk profile assessment of 'aggressive,' as our criteria
define the terms. Pro forma for the proposed acquisition of
Acxiom, we calculate the ratio of adjusted total debt to EBITDA
at 4.5x, EBITDA coverage of interest at 3.1x, and funds from
operations (FFO) to total debt in the low double-digits. We
forecast the ratio of adjusted total debt to EBITDA will decline
to below 4x, EBITDA coverage of interest will increase to the
high-3x area, and FFO to total debt will increase to the mid-teens
by fiscal year end 2012. This improvement will likely occur from
profit growth as opposed to debt reduction. These credit ratios
are consistent with an aggressive financial risk profile. We have
also factored into our financial risk assessment our view that the
company has an aggressive financial policy: it has grown through
acquisitions and we expect this to continue," S&P said.

"Our business risk assessment incorporates our analysis that the
company has a narrow focus in a highly fragmented industry with
intense pricing pressure, low customer switching costs, and
vulnerability to economic cycles. The company's diverse customer
base only partly offset these business risk factors," S&P said.

Sterling intends to acquire Acxiom Information Security Services,
a division of Acxiom Corp., for about $74 million. According to
Sterling's management, this merger will create the second-largest
employment and background screening company worldwide. This
acquisition provides Sterling with access to an additional 3,000
customers.

"Acquisitions will likely remain a priority over debt reduction or
dividends for the foreseeable future," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Linda Phelps. "We believe meaningful credit ratio
improvement would only be temporary, given the company's
aggressive growth strategy and the involvement of a financial
sponsor in the company's ownership structure."


TARGA RESOURCE: Moody's Lifts Corporate Family Rating to 'Ba2'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the Corporate Family Rating for
Targa Resources Partners LP (Targa) to Ba2 from Ba3. In addition,
Moody's upgraded the senior unsecured note rating to Ba3 from B1.
The outlook is stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

"The upgrade in the CFR reflects the progress Targa has made in
bringing down its leverage now that the asset drop down program
has been completed," said Stuart Miller, Moody's Senior Analyst.
"As the partnership continues to invest in fee generating
businesses such as NGL fractionation services, its cash flow is
becoming more durable resulting in an improving business profile."

Targa's gathering and processing business has had mixed results on
a system by system basis despite strong tailwinds provided by
relatively high oil and NGL prices and very low natural gas
prices. While some of Targa's systems have enjoyed an increase in
regional drilling activity, others have experienced a decline in
throughput volumes. However, Targa has benefited significantly
from its investments in NGL transportation, fractionation, and
distribution services. These businesses are well-positioned to
take advantage of the trend by oil and gas producers to drill for
"wet gas", or natural gas liquids-rich, production. The industry-
wide ramp in NGL production has led to high demand for Targa's
fractionation and marketing and distribution capabilities.

Over the last two years, Targa's EBITDA growth has out-paced its
debt incurrence. As a result, leverage has declined, and as of
September 30, 2011, the ratio of debt to EBITDA (with Moody's
standard adjustments) stood at 3.3x. Including the debt at Targa
Resources Corp. leverage is marginally higher at 3.4x. Despite an
aggressive capital program in 2012, Moody's projections suggest
that this level of leverage is sustainable, which is one of the
primary drivers to the rating upgrade.

The credit rating remains constrained by the commodity price risk
that is inherent in Targa's gas processing contracts and the
volume risk associated with production decline rates and drilling
activity levels. Roughly 75% of Targa's operating income is
directly exposed to commodity price volatility, although much of
the near term risk has been hedged with natural gas, crude oil,
and direct product hedges. The ratings also remain constrained by
the master limited partnership organizational structure. Like many
midstream master limited partnerships, Targa has substantial
negative free cash flow because of significant growth capital
expenditures and a high distribution payout level, both of which
increase credit risk and reliance on external capital sources.
Periodically, Targa has issued equity to finance a portion of its
growth capital expenditures; a continuation of this practice will
be an important factor to support the current credit ratings.

To satisfy its short term liquidity needs, Targa relies on its
$1,100 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The
credit facility matures in July 2015 and current availability is
about $475 million. The issuance of debt or equity is likely in
2012 to maintain liquidity at acceptable levels given Moody's
expectation that there will be a significant out-spending of
internally generated cash flow in 2012.

To be considered for any additional positive rating actions, Targa
would need to show a commitment to maintaining leverage below 3.5x
along with a significant improvement in the proportion of its
operating income being generated from fee-based arrangements.
Alternatively, a negative action could result if leverage is
maintained over 4.0x while a high percentage of operating income
is derived from less durable, non-fee based businesses.

The principal methodology used in rating Targa Resource Partners
LP was the Global Midstream Energy rating methodology published in
November 2010. Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default
for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada
and EMEA published in June 2009.

Targa Resource Partners LP is a mid-sized midstream master limited
partnership headquartered in Houston, Texas.


THERMOENERGY CORP: Amends Warrant Agreements with 21 Investors

Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company agreed to amend the
Warrants to change the exercise prices of the Warrants from $0.30
per share to $0.095 per share and the Investors agreed to exercise
all of the Warrants immediately for cash.

The shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants have been registered for re-sale to the public
pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-1 filed
under the Securities Act of 1933.  In the Warrant Amendment
Agreement, the Company agreed to prepare and file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission an amendment or supplement to
the prospectus constituting part of the Registration Statement to
identify the Investors as selling stockholder of those shares.
The Company also agreed to prepare and file with the Commission
any amendments to the Registration Statement and supplements to
the Prospectus as may be necessary to keep the Registration
Statement continuously effective and in compliance with the
provisions of the Securities Act applicable thereto so as to
permit the Prospectus to be current and useable by the Investors
for re-sales of such shares until such date as all shares covered
by the Registration Statement have been sold.

Also on Dec. 30, 2011, pursuant to the Warrant Amendment
Agreements, John Blum, Michael Brodherson, Scott E. Douglass, et
al., exercised the Warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of
27,700,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise
price, in cash, of $0.095 per share.

Each Investor has represented that he or it is an "accredited
investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D and
that he or it was acquiring his or its Warrant and would acquire
the shares of the Company's Common Stock issued upon exercise of
that Warrant for investment for his or its own account and not
with a plan or present intention to distribute those shares.

The shares of the Company's Common Stock were issued to the
Investors in a transaction not involving a public offering and
without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on the
exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of such Act.
For its services in connection with this transaction, the Company
paid Dawson James Securities, Inc., a registered broker-dealer, a
fee of $184,205.

VIRTUALSCOPICS INC: Gets Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Notice
--------------------------------------------------------
VirtualScopics, Inc. received a notice from the NASDAQ Stock
Market indicating that the Company's minimum bid price has fallen
below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days.  NASDAQ Marketplace
Rule 5550(a)(2)requires a $1.00 minimum bid price for continued
listing of an issuer's common stock.

In accordance with section 5810(c)(3)(A) of the NASDAQ Marketplace
Rules, the Company has until July 2, 2012 to regain compliance.
The company can regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule
if the bid price of its common stock closes at $1.00 or higher for
a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the 180-day
period, although the NASDAQ Stock Market may, in its discretion,
require the Company to maintain a bid price of at least $1.00 per
share for a period in excess of ten consecutive business days
before determining that it has demonstrated the ability to
maintain long-term compliance.

Additionally, if compliance with this Rule cannot be demonstrated
by July 2, 2012, NASDAQ will determine whether the Company meets
the NASDAQ Capital Market initial listing criteria except for the
bid price requirement.  If the Company meets the initial listing
criteria, NASDAQ will notify the Company that it has been granted
an additional 180 calendar day compliance period.  If the company
is not eligible for an additional compliance period, NASDAQ will
notify the Company that its common stock will be delisted.  At
that time, the Company may appeal this determination to delist its
securities to a Listing Qualification Panel.

The Company is actively pursuing a number of initiatives to bring
the Company into compliance with the minimum share price
requirement.

WOONSOCKET CITY: Moody's Reviews 'Ba1' Tax Rating for Downgrade
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has placed the City of Woonsocket's (RI)
Ba1 general obligation unlimited tax rating on review for possible
downgrade, affecting approximately $205 million of outstanding
rated debt. The review was prompted by an announcement in late
December of 2011 that the city's school operations have generated
a deficit in fiscal 2011. While the city has undertaken meaningful
steps to eliminate its accumulated deficit and stabilize its
financial position through the issuance of deficit bonds, various
expenditure cuts and large levy increases, continued deficits in
school operations has put Woonsocket's finances under considerable
pressure. In addition, the city continues to underfund its local
pension plan.

Our review will incorporate the release of the 2011 audit and
focus on an evaluation of the city's financial and liquidity
position, its deficit reduction strategy, and possible
intervention by the state.

PRINCIPAL METHODOLOGY

The principal methodology used in this rating was General
Obligation Bonds Issued by U.S. Local Governments published in
Ocotber 2009.


Z TRIM HOLDINGS: Agrees to $500,000 Credit Line with ANP
--------------------------------------------------------
Z Trim Holdings, Inc., on Oct. 17, 2011, entered into a Custom
Processing Agreement with AVEKA Nutra Processing, LLC, part of the
Aveka Group, in order to provide the Company with a partner for
future manufacturing initiatives.

The Agreement provides that ANP will perform certain services
related to the Company's dietary fiber product, including
manufacturing, processing, packaging and storage/warehousing for
an initial term of three years.  The Agreement automatically
renews at the end of the initial term for an additional two year
term unless either party provides written notice to the other
within the specified time frame.  Production pursuant to the
Agreement is anticipated to begin no later than June 30, 2012.
Once production commences, the Agreement provides for minimum
production volumes of 40,000 lbs per month and average volumes of
100,000 lbs. per month with the ability to increase future
production volume to potentially as much as 1,000,000 lbs. per
month.  However, due to factors, including potential start-up
problems, changes in customer demand, inability of parties to
perform their obligations and factors outside the Company's
control, the Company cannot assure that production will begin as
anticipated or that it will achieve these levels.

In addition, the Company has agreed to make available to ANP a
$500,000 line of credit at an interest rate of 5.5%.  The line of
credit is only permitted to be used by ANP for operating costs
which excludes capital expenditures of equipment in excess of
$5,000.  ANP may not drawn down on the line of credit more than
$75,000 in any given thirty day period.  The loan is to be paid
back to the Company in the form of discounts on production pricing
commencing either two years after the first draw by ANP on the
line of credit or the first month after the Company has ordered
80,000 lbs. of product for three consecutive months, whichever
shall occur first.  All of ANP's obligations under the line of
credit, as well as the Agreement, are specifically guaranteed by
its parent company, Aveka Inc.

The Company reported a net loss of $10.91 million on $903,780 in
total revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a
net loss of $12.21 million on $559,910 of revenue during the prior
year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2011, showed $6.50 million
in total assets, $16.09 million in total liabilities, $1.52
million in total commitment and contingencies, and a $11.11
million total stockholders' deficit.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 12, 2010,
M&K, CPAs, PLLC, in Houston, expressed substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern, following its
2009 results.  The independent auditors noted that the Company has
suffered recurring losses from operations and requires additional
financing to continue in operation.

The Company said that for the year ended Dec. 31, 2009, it did not
have enough cash on hand to meet its current liabilities or to
fund on-going operations beyond one year.  As a result, the report
of independent registered public accounting firm included an
explanatory paragraph in respect to the substantial doubt of the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's cash on hand as of Dec. 31, 2010 is $2,327,013.
Since June 2010, the Company brought in $8,170,988 in funds
through the sale of Preferred Stock, and our investors converted
approximately $8,100,000 of convertible debt into common stock.
In addition to the fundraising efforts, the Company intends to
make capital expenditures necessary to increase its capacity and
to reduce its cost per pound.  Due to the expected increase in
production capacity, the Company anticipates its sales for fiscal
year ended Dec. 31, 2011 will approximately double those of fiscal
year ended Dec. 31, 2010.

Although the Company has recurring operating losses and negative
cash flows from operating activities, the Company has positive
working capital and believe it has enough cash on hand to satisfy
current obligations.  If the Company is unsuccessful in its plans
to increase revenue and capacity, the impact may have a material
impairment on its ability to continue as a going concern.


* Taxes on Late Returns Aren't Discharged in Bankruptcy
-------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that state taxes owing on late-filed tax returns aren't
discharged in bankruptcy, the U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans
ruled on Jan. 4 in a case interpreting a 2005 amendment to Section
523(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Circuit Judge Carolyn D. King,
writing for the panel of three judges, said that the definition of
"return" added to Section 523(a) in 2005 means that taxes owing
under late-filed returns don't qualify for discharge.  Judge King
agreed with lower courts interpreting the amendment. No other
circuit court has addressed the question.

The bankrupt relied on a pre-amendment case from the U.S. Court of
Appeals in Cincinnati named U.S. v. Hindenlang.  Judge King said
the case only applied to federal, not state taxes.  Moreover, the
2005 amendment clarified and changed the law.  The case is McCoy
v. Mississippi State Tax Commission (In re McCoy), 11-60146, U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (New Orleans).


* Missed Payments Led Global Corporate Defaults in 2011
-------------------------------------------------------
Global corporate defaults totaled 53 in 2011, roughly two-thirds
of the default total in 2010, according to an article published
Jan. 5 by Standard & Poor's Global Fixed Income Research, titled

"Missed Payments Dominated Global Corporate Defaults In 2011."
"On a regional basis, 39 defaults were based in the U.S.," said
Diane Vazza, head of Standard & Poor's Global Fixed Income
Research. The other developed region (Australia, Canada, Japan,
and New Zealand) had the next greatest number of defaults with
seven.  Europe had four, and the emerging markets had three.
Default counts declined in 2011 across all regions but Europe,
where defaults doubled compared with 2010.

"Missed interest and/or principal payments were the primary reason
for default in 2011, with 21 issuers defaulting for this reason,"
said Ms. Vazza.

Bankruptcy-related filings followed with 13 defaults, trailed by
distressed exchanges, which caused 11 defaults.  Regulatory-
related reasons (including receiverships) and other reasons
totaled four defaults each.


* S&P: Three Most Stressed Sectors Continue Slow Recovery
---------------------------------------------------------
In Standard & Poor's opinion, the media and entertainment,
consumer products, and health care sectors were the most troubled
sectors in the U.S. as of Dec. 20, 2011.  Despite positive
manufacturing numbers from around the world, sluggish consumer
demand and high unemployment continue to weigh on the three
sectors, said an article published Jan. 6 by Standard & Poor's
Global Fixed Income Research, titled "Stressed Sectors In
Corporate America: Our Three Most Stressed Sectors Continue To
Recover Slowly."

These sectors had the highest levels of risk among S&P's lists of
distressed companies (speculative-grade companies with securities
trading in excess of 1,000 basis points above U.S. Treasuries),
weakest links (companies rated 'B-' or lower with negative
outlooks or ratings on CreditWatch with negative implications),
and potential bond downgrades (investment-grade or speculative-
grade companies with negative outlooks or ratings on CreditWatch
negative).

S&P identified 126 companies in these three sectors that meet at
least one of the criteria.  Of the 126 companies, 28 are on more
than one of the three lists, indicating even greater
vulnerability.

"Over the past 12 months, downgrades accounted for 60% of all
rating actions in the consumer products sector, 52% in health
care, and 49% in media and entertainment sector," said Diane
Vazza, head of Standard & Poor's Global Fixed Income Research.
"In comparison, 47% of rating actions for nonfinancial issuers
were downgrades."

"As of Dec. 20, the three stressed sectors accounted for about 42%
of the issuers listed as weakest links and eight of the 39 total
defaulters across all sectors in 2011," said Ms. Vazza.  S&P's
defines weakest links as issuers rated 'B-' or lower with negative
outlooks or ratings on CreditWatch negative.  These entities are
at greater risk of default.


* Cadwalader Elevates George Davis to Leadership Team
-----------------------------------------------------
Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP disclosed that long-time partner
George Davis will join John Rapisardi and Deryck Palmer in leading

viewpoints."  He is also regularly acknowledged in The Best
Lawyers in America and praised as someone who has an "ability to
find solutions to difficult problems."

in which he helped secure the largest commercial DIP financing and
handled the largest LBO fraudulent conveyance case in the history
of chapter 11.  He guided this chemical company giant in its
highly acclaimed global reorganization, paving the way for plan
confirmation and a global discharge in just fifteen months.  Under
his leadership, Cadwalader was named winner of the Restructuring
Deal of the Year by IFLR Europe, the Turnaround Award of the Year
and Industrial Goods and Basic Resource Deal of the Year by M&A
Advisor and Restructuring Deal of the Year by Investment Dealers'
Digest.  Davis has been named an Outstanding Restructuring Lawyer
for 2012, 2011 and 2010 by Turnarounds & Workouts, a distinction
given to only 12 lawyers a year.

An adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center, teaching
Bankruptcy and Creditors' Rights, George is a frequent writer and
speaker on restructuring topics and an active member of the
Association of the Bar of the City of New York, the American

                           *********

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