21ST CENTURY ONCOLOGY: Moody's Caa2 CFR on Review for Upgrade
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed 21st Century Oncology, Inc.'s
ratings under review for upgrade, including the Caa2 Corporate
Family Rating, Caa2-PD Probability of Default Rating, B1 ratings
on the company's $100 million revolving credit facility and $90
million term loan, Caa2 rating on the company's existing $350
million 8.875% second lien notes, and Caa3 rating on the $380
million 9.875% subordinated notes. The company's speculative grade
liquidity rating was changed to SGL-3 from SGL-4.

The following ratings actions were taken:

Ratings placed under review for upgrade:

Corporate Family Rating, Caa2;

Probability of Default Rating, Caa2-PD;

$100 million senior secured revolving credit facility, due October
2016, B1 (LGD1);

$90 million senior secured term loan, due October 2016, B1 (LGD2);

$350 million senior 2nd lien 8.875% notes, due January 2017, Caa2
(LGD3);

$380 million senior subordinated 9.875% notes, due April 2017,
Caa3 (LGD5);

The speculative grade liquidity rating was changed to SGL-3 from
SGL-4.

Ratings Rationale

The rating action follows the company's September 26, 2014
announcement that the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board
("CPPIB") has made a $325 million preferred equity investment in
21st Century. Proceeds from the investment are expected to enable
21st Century to reduce debt and provide the company with
incremental liquidity for operations and growth initiatives. The
investment by CPPIB negates the Restructuring Support Agreement
that 21st Century had entered with a group of bondholders in July
2014.

The change in the company's speculative grade liquidity rating to
SGL-3 from SGL-4 reflects the improved liquidity profile of the
company following the investment from CPPIB, including the
expectation for increased revolver availability, additional cash
balances, and a reduction in interest expense from current levels
following debt reduction.

Moody's review will consider the company's final capital
structure, debt levels, and liquidity profile following receipt of
proceeds and subsequent debt reduction from the investment by
CPPIB. The review will additionally consider the outlook for 21st
Century's operating performance going forward, including the
reimbursement rate environment and the anticipated financial and
operating policies following the new investment by CPPIB.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global
Healthcare Service Providers published in December 2011. Other
methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-
Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA
published in June 2009.

21st Century Oncology, Inc., formerly known as Radiation Therapy
Services, Inc. ("RTS"), is an integrated cancer care company that
operates 179 radiation treatment facilities in the US and Latin
America. The company's revenue for the last twelve months ended
June 30, 2014 was approximately $884 million. 21st Century is
majority owned by Vestar Capital.


22ND CENTURY: Inks Consulting Agreement with Crede CG and Terren
----------------------------------------------------------------
In connection with the entry into a joint venture arrangement with
22nd Century Group, Inc.'s newly-formed subsidiary, 22nd Century
Asia Ltd., on Sept. 29, 2014, the Company entered into a
Consulting Agreement with Crede CG III, Ltd., and Terren Peizer in
order to provide consulting services to 22nd Century Asia with
respect to the Company's efforts to sell its proprietary tobacco
products into Asia.

The Company issued to Crede 1,250,000 Tranche 1A Warrants and
1,000,000 Tranche 1B Warrants.  The Tranche 1A Warrants have an
exercise price equal to $3.36 per share.  The Tranche 1B Warrants
have an exercise price equal to $2.5951 per share, which is equal
to the volume weighted average price of the Company's Common
Stock, par value $0.00001, on the NYSE MKT for the three day
period of September 24, 25 and 26.  The Tranche 1A Warrants and
the Tranche 1B Warrants each have a term of two years and are
exercisable at any time beginning on the date of issuance.

In connection with the Company's joint venture arrangement meeting
certain milestones, the Company also issued to Crede 1,000,000
Tranche 2 Warrants and 1,000,000 Tranche 3 Warrants.  The Tranche
2 Warrants and Tranche 3 Warrants each have an exercise price
equal to $3.3736 per share, which is equal to 130% of the VWAP for
the Measurement Period, and only vest and become exercisable upon
certain sales milestones being met.  In certain instances, the
Tranche 1A Warrants, the Tranche 1B Warrants, the Tranche 2
Warrants and the Tranche 3 Warrants may be exercised on a cashless
basis by the holder.  Holders of the Warrants may exercise their
warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock on or before the
termination date of the applicable Warrant by delivering to the
Company an exercise notice, appropriately completed and duly
signed, and payment of the exercise price for the number of shares
for which the warrant is being exercised in cash.

The Tranche 2 Warrants have a term of five years and vest and
become exercisable only if 22nd Century Asia achieves revenues of
at least $15 million in either of the two twelve month periods
beginning on the Commencement Date or revenues of at least $90
million during either of the two twelve month periods beginning on
the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, and in each
instance the Company must be cash flow positive from its
investment in 22nd Century Asia.

The Tranche 3 Warrants have a term of five years and vest only if
22nd Century Asia achieves revenues of at least $45 million in
either of the two twelve month periods beginning on the one-year
anniversary of the Commencement Date or revenues of at least $27
million in during either of the two twelve month periods beginning
on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, and in each
instance the Company must be cash flow positive from its
investment in 22nd Century Asia.

In addition to the traditional cashless exercise provision, the
Tranche 1A Warrants, but not the Tranche 1B Warrants, Tranche 2
Warrants or Tranche 3 Warrants, provide that the Tranche 1A
Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis by exchanging such
warrants for shares of Common Stock using a negotiated Black-
Scholes formula beginning on the day that is sixty one days after
Sept. 17, 2014, provided that all conditions for such exchange are
satisfied.  The negotiated Black-Scholes value is defined as the
value of an option for the number of shares equal to the portion
of the Tranche 1A Warrant being exchanged at the applicable
exchange date as such value is determined calculated using the
Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the "OV" function
on Bloomberg utilizing (i) an underlying price per share equal to
the closing sale price of the Common Stock as of the date of
issuance of the warrant, (ii) a risk-free interest rate
corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the
remaining term of the warrant as of such exchange date, (iii) a
strike price equal to the exercise price in effect at the time of
the applicable exchange, (iv) an expected volatility equal to 135%
and (v) an assumed period of five years remaining in the term of
the warrant (regardless of the actual remaining term of the
warrant). The total number of shares issuable under this exchange
provision is limited as provided in the Tranche 1A Warrants.

The Company may force the holder to exercise the Tranche 1A
Warrants for cash in the event the following are satisfied: (i)
the trading volume in the Company's Common Stock over 20
consecutive days be equal or greater than an aggregate of Ten
Million shares, (ii) a registration statement covering the share
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Tranche 1A Warrants
must be effective and (iii) the trading price of the Common Stock
on the date prior to delivery of the notice to the holder must be
equal or greater than 125% of the exercise price of the warrant.

The Warrants do not confer upon holders any voting or other rights
as stockholders of the Company.  Each of the Warrants contains a
limitation that the holder may not exercise or exchange the
Warrant if such exercise or exchange will cause the holder to
acquire beneficial ownership of more than 9.99% of the Company's
outstanding shares of Common Stock.

A123 SYSTEMS: Settlement on General Motors' Claim Approved
----------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court approved a settlement between the Liquidation
Trust in the Chapter 11 case of A123 Systems Inc., and General
Motors LLC and its affiliates.

The settlement provides that, among other things:

   1. The amended GM Claim is allowed as Class 4 General Unsecured
Claim in the aggregate amount of $19,500,000 against the
Liquidation Trust and the Debtor's estate; and

   2. The Liquidation Trust's claims and noticing agent is
authorized and directed to mark any other proofs of claim
submitted by GM, including the original GM claim, as withdrawn on
the official register in the Chapter 11 cases.

                        About A123 Systems

Based in Waltham, Massachusetts, A123 Systems Inc. designed,
developed, manufactured and sold advanced rechargeable lithium-ion
batteries and battery systems and provided research and
development services to government agencies and commercial
customers.  A123 was the recipient of a $249 million federal grant
from the Obama administration.

A123 and U.S. affiliates, A123 Securities Corporation and Grid
Storage Holdings LLC, sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
(Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos. 12-12859 to 12-12861) on Oct. 16, 2012.
A123 disclosed assets of $459.8 million and liabilities totaling
$376 million.  Lawyers at Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., and
Latham & Watkins LLP serve as the Debtors' counsel.  Lazard Freres
& Co. LLC acts as the Debtors' financial advisors, while Alvarez &
Marsal serves as restructuring advisors.  Logan & Company Inc.
serves as the Debtors' claims and noticing agent.  Brown Rudnick
LLP and Saul Ewing LLP serve as counsel to the Official Committee
of Unsecured Creditors.

Prior to the bankruptcy filing, A123 had an agreement to sell an
80% stake in the business to Chinese auto-parts maker Wanxiang
Group Corp.  U.S. lawmakers opposed the deal over concerns on the
transfer of American taxpayer dollars and technology to China.
When it filed for bankruptcy, the Debtors presented a deal to sell
all assets to Johnson Controls Inc., subject to higher and better
offers.  At the auction in December 2012, most of the assets ended
up being sold for $256.6 million to Wanxiang.  The deal received
approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. on
Jan. 29, 2013.

A123 Systems was renamed B456 Systems Inc., following the sale.

Wanxiang America Corporation and Wanxiang Clean Energy USA Corp.
are represented in the case by lawyers at Young Conaway Stargatt &
Taylor, LLP, and Sidley Austin LLP.  JCI is represented in the
case by Josh Feltman, Esq., at Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz LLP.

In May 2013, the Delaware bankruptcy court confirmed the
liquidation plan for A123 Systems Inc.  The Plan repays all
secured creditors in full with some money left over for unsecured
creditors.  Holders of $143.8 million in subordinated notes are
projected to recoup 36.3 percent.  If B456 Systems Inc., the
company's new name, reduces claims to amounts the company believes
correct, the recovery on the subordinated notes could increase to
62.9 percent, according to the disclosure statement.  General
unsecured creditors, who previously were said to have $124 million
in claims, would have roughly the same recovery.

ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES: GM Byrne Gets $1MM Cash Retention Award
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Advanced
Micro Devices, Inc., approved the following retention awards with
respect to John Byrne, the Company's senior vice president and
general manager, Computing and Graphics Business Group, which the
Company will grant on Oct. 15, 2014, according to a regulatory
filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

A time-based cash retention award of $1,000,000 will be paid in
two tranches.  Half of the award will be paid on the first regular
payroll date after Sept. 30, 2015, and the remainder will be paid
on the first regular payroll date after Sept. 30, 2016.  The award
will accelerate and be paid on the first regular payroll date
after that acceleration if Mr. Byrne is involuntarily terminated
by the Company other than for cause and if certain other
conditions are met.

Mr. Byrne will also be granted a performance-based restricted
stock unit retention award with an aggregate grant date fair value
of $1,000,000.  The number of PRSUs granted will be determined by
dividing the Award Value by the 30-day trailing average closing
price of the Company's common stock on the grant date.  The PRSUs
will only be earned to the extent certain pre-determined
performance conditions are met.  Half of the earned PRSUs will
vest on Sept. 30, 2015, and the remainder will vest on Sept. 30,
2016.  The PRSUs will accelerate and vest immediately if Mr. Byrne
is involuntarily terminated by the Company other than for cause
and if certain other conditions are met.

                    About Advanced Micro Devices

Sunnyvale, California-based Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., is a
global semiconductor company.  The Company's products include x86
microprocessors and graphics.

Advanced Micro incurred a net loss of $83 million on $5.29 billion
of net revenue for the year ended Dec. 28, 2013, as compared with
a net loss of $1.18 billion on $5.42 billion of net revenue for
the year ended Dec. 29, 2012.  As of June 28, 2014, the Company
had $4.24 billion in total assets, $3.74 billion in total
liabilities and $501 million in total stockholders' equity.

                          *     *     *

In August 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its
outlook on Advanced Micro to negative from stable.  At the same
time, S&P affirmed its 'B' corporate credit and senior unsecured
debt ratings on AMD.

As reported by the TCR on June 5, 2014, Fitch Ratings had upgraded
the long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) for Advanced Micro
Devices Inc. (NYSE: AMD) to 'B-' from 'CCC'.  The upgrade
primarily reflects AMD's improved financial flexibility from
recent refinancing activity, which extends meaningful debt
maturities until 2019.

In the Feb. 4, 2013, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
lowered Advanced Micro Devices' corporate family rating to B2 from
B1.  The downgrade of the corporate family rating to B2 reflects
AMD's prospects for weaker operating performance and liquidity
profile over the next year as the company commences on a multi-
quarter strategic reorientation of its business in the face of a
challenging macro environment and a weak PC market.


ADVANSTAR INC: S&P Puts 'B' CCR on Watch Pos. Over UBM Sale
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it placed its
ratings, including the 'B' corporate credit rating, on New York-
based business-to-business media provider Advanstar Inc. on
CreditWatch with positive implications.

The CreditWatch placement follows the announcement that UBM PLC
will be acquiring Advanstar in a partially debt-financed
transaction.  If the transaction closes as planned, Advanstar
would merge into the larger and financially stronger UBM.  S&P
views UBM's acquisition of Advanstar to be in-line with its stated
goal of increasing its exposure to tradeshow events and improving
its position in the U.S. market.  The transaction should
moderately improve UBM's leverage on a pro forma basis to about
2.3x because the company is planning to issue $100 million of
incremental debt and fund the remainder of the purchase price
through an equity rights offering.

"We would likely raise our corporate credit rating on Advanstar to
the level of that on UBM upon the transaction's completion,
provided that we conclude that Advanstar's operations are core to
UBM's business strategy," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Jawad Hussain.  "If UBM refinances the debt, we would likely
withdraw all of Advanstar's ratings upon the close of the
refinancing."

Alternatively, if the transaction is not completed, S&P would
likely affirm the ratings on Advanstar and remove them from
CreditWatch.


AMERICAN ACHIEVEMENT: Moody's Affirms B3 CFR; Outlook Negative
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service revised American Achievement Corporation
("AAC" or "American Achievement") rating outlook to negative from
stable due to the increasing liquidity risk driven by its upcoming
debt maturities. All ratings, including the B3 Corporate Family
Rating, are affirmed.

The company's strategic options are limited following the failed
merger with Visant (B3 stable).In April, the US Federal Trade
Commission's (FTC) blocked the proposed merger between American
Achievement and Visant Corporation due to concerns that the merger
would be anti-competitive for the class ring industry.

"We think the company will look to address the sustainability of
its debt structure within the next quarter or two as the required
redemption premium on the notes decreases and the maturity dates
approach," said Kevin Cassidy, Senior Credit Officer at Moody's
Investors Service. The $365 million notes (B3) mature in October
2016 and the $55 million revolving credit facility (unrated)
expires in October 2015. The notes are redeemable prior to October
15, 2014 at approximately 105.4% and after October 15, 2014 and
prior to October 15, 2015 at approximately 102.7%. The notes are
redeemable after October 15, 2015 at par. "We think the company
will first look to refinance the notes and revolver, but there is
an increasing possibility of some type of other debt revision,"
said Cassidy.

The negative outlook reflects the increased liquidity risk amid
modest operating performance trends.

Ratings affirmed:

Corporate Family Rating at B3;

Probability of Default Rating at B3-PD;

$365 million senior secured notes due April 2016 at B3;

Ratings Rationale

American Achievement's B3 Corporate Family Rating reflects its
small scale with revenue less than $300 million, high financial
leverage, modest interest coverage, and our expectation of weak
free cash flow over the near to intermediate term. The ratings
also reflect the company's narrow product focus on yearbooks and
class rings, regional concentration in the Southern United States
and limited organic growth prospects in a mature industry. The
rating is supported by AAC's strong market position in each of its
niche product segments, high customer retention rates, good
operating margins, and an efficient manufacturing footprint.

The negative outlook reflects the increased risk of a debt
restructuring amid modest operating performance trends.

Failure to address the maturity of its revolving credit
facility/secured notes within the next three months will
significantly increase downward rating pressure.

An upgrade of the rating is unlikely over the near-term given the
company's small scale and top line pressure and the current
negative rating outlook. For an upgrade to be considered over the
longer-term there needs to be clarity around the sustainability of
the capital structure. There also need to be a meaningful increase
in scale and product diversification and credit metrics need to be
maintained around their current levels (that is debt/EBITDA below
6.0 times and free cash flow/debt over 5%).

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Consumer Durables 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.

ASARCO LLC: High Court to Rule on Lawyers' Bankruptcy Fees
----------------------------------------------------------
Sara Randazzo, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that
the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments into the issue
on whether bankruptcy professionals can get paid for defending
their own fee applications.

According to the Journal, the case stems from the bankruptcy of
ASARCO LLC, where the bankruptcy judge in Texas said Baker Botts,
the lead counsel for ASARCO, deserved an additional $5 million in
fees and nearly half a million dollars in expenses for defending
against fee objections.  Grupo Mexico, which acquired ASARCO,
appealed the judgment, but the bankruptcy judge's ruling was
upheld by the federal district court.  At the Fifth Circuit,
ASARCO won, and Baker Botts appealed to the Supreme COurt.

The case in the Supreme Court is Baker Botts LLP v. Asarco LLC,
14-103, U.S. Supreme Court (Washington).

                      About Asarco LLC

Based in Tucson, Arizona, ASARCO LLC -- http://www.asarco.com/--
is an integrated copper mining, smelting and refining company.
Grupo Mexico S.A. de C.V. is ASARCO's ultimate parent.

ASARCO LLC filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. S.D. Tex. Case
No. 05-21207) on Aug. 9, 2005.  Attorneys at Baker Botts
L.L.P., and Jordan, Hyden, Womble & Culbreth, P.C., represented
the Debtor in its restructuring efforts.

On Dec. 9, 2009, Asarco Incorporated and Americas Mining
Corporation's Seventh Amended Plan of Reorganization for the
Debtors became effective and the ASARCO Asbestos Personal Injury
Settlement Trust was created and funded with nearly $1 billion in
assets, including more than $650 million in cash plus a $280
million secured note from Reorganized ASARCO.  The Plan, which was
confirmed both by the bankruptcy and district courts, reintegrated
ASARCO LLC back to parent Grupo Mexico concluding the four-year
Chapter 11 proceeding.


ASARCO LLC: Baker Botts to Present Fee Arguments to Supreme Court
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Baker Botts disclosed that the Supreme Court on Oct. 2 granted its
petition for certiorari in Baker Botts L.L.P. v. ASARCO LLC,
No. 14-103.  The lower courts unanimously found that Baker Botts'
extraordinary performance during the ASARCO bankruptcy directly
contributed to one of the most successful bankruptcies in the
history of the Bankruptcy Code.  Yet, Baker Botts was forced to
incur enormous costs defending its fee application, even though
the lower courts rejected all challenges to Baker Botts' core
compensation.

Baker Botts says it looks forward to presenting its arguments
concerning whether bankruptcy professionals may seek compensation
for successfully defending their fee applications against
meritless objections.  "That issue is important to our nation's
bankruptcy system, and we are pleased that the Supreme Court has
agreed to decide it," Baker Botts said.

At issue is this precedent-setting case is whether Section 330(a)
of the Bankruptcy Code grants bankruptcy judges discretion to
award compensation for the defense of a fee application.

Baker Botts maintains that it is entitled to recover the costs
incurred while defending its fee application in representing the
American Smelting and Refining Company (ASARCO) during the
company's $1.7 billion bankruptcy settlement in 2009 -- the
largest environmental bankruptcy in U.S. history at that time.
Baker Botts's performance was lauded by the Bankruptcy Court
judge, who awarded it $5 million for the cost of defending its fee
application against ASARCO's challenges.  The district court
affirmed the award, but the Fifth Circuit overruled it on appeal.

Baker Botts Houston partner, Aaron Streett, chairman of the firm's
Supreme Court and Constitutional Law Practice, will argue the case
on behalf of the firm.

ATRINSIC INC: Delays Fiscal 2014 Form 10-K
------------------------------------------
Atrinsic, Inc., disclosed in a Form 12b-25 filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission that the filing of the Company
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014, has
been delayed because the compilation, dissemination and review of
the information required to be presented in the Form 10-K has
imposed time constraints that have rendered timely filing of the
Form 10-K impracticable without undue hardship and expense to the
Company.  The Company believes that the Annual Report will be
available on or before Oct. 14, 2014.

                          About Atrinsic

Atrinsic Inc.'s principal asset is a 51% membership interest in
Momspot, which is in the process of developing an online
affiliated marketing network targeting the Mommy Market.  The
Company does not conduct any other business activity, directly or
indirectly.

On June 15, 2012, the Company filed a Chapter 11 petition in the
United States Bankruptcy Court in Southern District of New York
(Case No. 12-12553).  As of that date, the Company terminated all
remaining employees, and ceased its normal business operations.

The Company emerged from Chapter 11 on June 26, 2013, at which
time the Plan of Reorganization was conditionally confirmed by the
United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York.
The confirmation was subject to the consummation of the Company's
acquisition of a 51% controlling interest in Momspot LLC, which
was subsequently completed on July 12, 2013.  The Emergence Date
was the date the Company adopted fresh start accounting in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 852.  The adoption of fresh-start
accounting resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for
financial reporting purposes.  Accordingly, the financial
statements on or prior to July 12, 2013, are not comparable with
the financial statements for periods after July 12, 2013.

The Company has continued to incur net losses through June 30,
2013, and has yet to establish profitable operations.  These
factors among others create a substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


BIOLIFE SOLUTIONS: Forms 20-Year Joint Venture with SAVSU
---------------------------------------------------------
BioLife Solutions, Inc., announced the formation of a joint
venture under the brand name of biologistex Cold Chain Management,
a play on biologistics, defined as the processes, tools, and data
used to monitor and manage the movement of biologic materials such
as vaccines, cells, tissues, and organs across time and space.

The joint venture is with SAVSU Technologies, LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Barson Corporation, with whom BioLife has an
existing exclusive product distribution relationship.

biologistex CCM is a limited liability company, and the entity is
majority held by BioLife Solutions, with SAVSU Technologies being
the only other shareholder.  biologistex CCM was formed to
leverage SAVSU intellectual property related to controlled
temperature containers and BioLife's significant relationships and
customer base in the high growth biobanking, drug discovery, and
regenerative medicine markets.  biologistex CCM has received a 20-
year exclusive worldwide distribution right to current and future
SAVSU controlled temperature containers, including the EVOTM smart
container.  BioLife will make a multi-million dollar investment in
connection with these transactions, and will manage all sales,
marketing, technical, customer service, accounting, and
fulfillment operations in its current Bothell, Washington
facilities.

Mike Rice, BioLife's president and CEO, commented on the formation
of biologistex CCM by stating, "We are very pleased to announce
the creation of biologistex CCM with SAVSU.  This is a great
opportunity for BioLife's sales and marketing team to introduce
SAVSU's next generation EVO smart container platform to our
strategic markets, where we have built and maintain very strong
relationships with hundreds of customers that can benefit from
using improved biologistics tools.  Current alternatives in cold
chain shippers include Styrofoam cooler type boxes and expensive
vacuum panel devices, most of which do not currently include stand
alone or embedded intelligence to monitor critical payload status
and location.  Initial customer feedback on EVO and our logistics
management portal has been very positive and we look forward to
completing our beta customer program and the full product and
service launch over the next few months."

A 2013 visiongain Translational Regenerative Medicine market
research report forecasts that the regenerative medicine market
comprised of cell and gene therapies and tissue-engineered
products will grow to more than $23 billion by 2024.  BioLife
expects to participate in this market growth by providing
biopreservation media and precision thermal packaging products
used to store, freeze, ship, and administer clinical cells and
tissues to patients.  To date, BioLife's proprietary
biopreservation media products have been incorporated into over
130 hospital-approved and clinical trial stage regenerative
medicine products and therapies.

Rice continued, "We believe we can drive substantial revenue and
growth through biologistex CCM since precision temperature
controlled shippers are highly complementary to our clinical grade
biopreservation media products, as both offerings can extend
stability, increase yield, and reduce costs for our customers'
cell and tissue-based biologic source material and manufactured
regenerative medicine products.  We have an excellent opportunity
to leverage the strong relationships we have in our core markets."

Bruce McCormick, president of SAVSU Technologies, remarked on the
creation of biologistex CCM with BioLife by stating, "We are keen
to partner with BioLife to launch biologistex CCM and commence
deployment and market adoption of our next generation smart
shippers for temperature sensitive biologics.  BioLife has
established a significant base of customers, who along with
clinicians and patients, can benefit from improved biologistics
throughout the manufacturing and delivery chain.  We highly value
BioLife's reputation, scientific marketing approach and proven,
high quality operations in their Bothell facilities."

Dana Barnard, president & CEO of SAVSU's parent company Barson
Corporation, commented on the strategic decision to partner with
BioLife to market SAVSU's EVO smart shipper technology platform by
stating, "We considered several factors leading to our decision to
form the biologistex CCM joint venture with BioLife.  Speed to
market is critical and BioLife's existing relationships in our
cross over markets, proven execution in driving adoption of
disruptive tools, and their commitments to fund and manage the
operations of the JV really convinced our board of directors that
this is the best overall approach to market SAVSU's next
generation controlled temperature containers and the joint
venture?s related customer management portal."

In December 2013, the IMARC Group published its Global Healthcare
Cold Chain Logistics Market Report & Forecast.  This includes a
forecast that the demand for cold chain packaging and
instrumentation services will grow from $3.2 billion in 2013 to
$5.1 billion in 2018.

On Sept. 29, 2014, biologistex and SAVSU entered into a supply and
distribution agreement whereby biologistex became the exclusive,
worldwide distributor of Smart Containers.  Pursuant to the Supply
and Distribution Agreement, biologistex agrees to purchase a
minimum number of Smart Containers over a 24 month period for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.6 million.  Under the
terms of the agreement, SAVSU must fulfill all obligations
required of it to permit biologistex to make the Products
available for marketing, sales and acceptance of customer orders.
The Supply and Distribution Agreement has an initial term of 20
years unless terminated early by its terms.

concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013.  The independent auditors noted
that the Company has incurred significant operating losses and
negative cash flows from operations during the year ended Dec. 31,
2013.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"We anticipate that we could continue to incur negative cash flows
and net losses for the next twelve months.  The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability of the carrying amount of the recorded assets or
the amount of liabilities that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.  As of June 30, 2014, these conditions raised
substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going
concern.  We expect our current cash resources to cover expenses
through the end of September 2014, however delays in cash
collections, revenue, or unforeseen expenditures, could impact our
estimate.  We are in need of additional capital and while we are
currently in discussions with our existing stockholders regarding
additional financing there is no assurance that additional capital
can be raised in an amount which is sufficient for us or on terms
favorable to us and our stockholders, if at all.  If we do not
obtain additional capital, there is a significant doubt as to
whether we can continue to operate as a going concern and we will
need to curtail or cease operations or seek bankruptcy relief.  If
we discontinue operations, we may not have sufficient funds to pay
any amounts to stockholders," the Company stated in its quarterly
report for the period ended June 30, 2014.


CECILIO R. VEGA: Connecticut Judge Won't Reinstate Bankr. Case
--------------------------------------------------------------
Connecticut District Judge Robert N. Chatigny rejected Cecilio R.
Vega's appeal from an order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
dismissing his case under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1112(b) with a one-year
filing bar.

Mr. Vega owns two properties in Connecticut: a house in Hamden
valued at $380,000, which is encumbered by secured claims totaling
approximately $425,000; and a rental property in New Haven valued
at $160,000, which is encumbered by secured claims totaling
$640,936. Since 2010, he has filed three bankruptcy cases. In
April 2010, he filed a voluntary petition for chapter 13 relief.
After the bankruptcy court authorized his lender to foreclose on
the Hamden and New Haven properties, he filed a motion to convert
the matter to a liquidation case. The motion was granted and he
received a discharge of his unsecured debts. Case No. 10-30967.

Another chapter 13 petition followed in September 2011. The
bankruptcy court dismissed the case without prejudice in January
2012, again authorizing the lender to foreclose on the Hamden and
New Haven properties. Case No. 11-32349.

In July 2012, Mr. Vega filed a third petition under chapter 13.
The lender responded by again seeking the court's permission to
foreclose on the properties. The lender pointed out that Mr. Vega
had filed each of his first two petitions just days before losing
title to the properties under foreclosure judgments, that he had
not made a mortgage payment on either property since 2009, and
that he had failed to tender required post-petition payments.

In February 2013, Mr. Vega moved to convert the chapter 13 case to
a reorganization case under chapter 11.  In April 2013, the court
granted the motion.

As a debtor in chapter 11 reorganization, Mr. Vega was obliged to
file monthly operating reports and to pay quarterly fees.  Monthly
operating reports permit interested parties to monitor the
debtor's financial state and compliance with law. Fees are
assessed according to the estate's quarterly disbursements. Mr.
Vega neither filed a report nor paid a fee between April and
August 2013.

On August 2, 2013, the United States Trustee filed a motion with
the bankruptcy court addressing these failures. The motion asked
the court to compel Mr. Vega to file late reports and pay
delinquent fees and also asked the court to either dismiss the
case or set a deadline to confirm a reorganization plan.

Mr. Vega did not file a response to the Trustee's motion. On the
eve of a hearing on the motion, he submitted monthly reports, but
the reports were incomplete and inaccurate. Mr. Vega reported that
cash was coming in faster than it was going out, but bank
statements indicated his balance was waning.  Mr. Vega never paid
his quarterly fee.

At a hearing on August 28, 2013, Mr. Vega conceded that he had
failed to file reports and pay fees as required by law.  He argued
that his failure to satisfy these legal obligations should be
excused and that the court should confirm a plan of
reorganization, which he had recently submitted. The court
disagreed. Observing that Mr. Vega had spent much of the previous
four years "playing the system," the court stated that it had "no
faith" he could successfully complete a chapter 11 reorganization.
The court dismissed the case and barred Mr. Vega from filing
another petition for one year.  On October 2, 2013, the court
denied Mr. Vega's motion for reconsideration.

This appeal followed. Mr. Vega does not argue that the bankruptcy
court lacked cause to dismiss his case. He contends, rather, that
the court erred because it failed to consider lesser sanctions
than dismissal with a filing bar. In addition, Mr. Vega argues
that the court failed to properly consider whether his newly
submitted plan of reorganization could be confirmed.

CHC GROUP: Moody's Affirms B2 CFR & Alters Outlook to Positive
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed all ratings of CHC Group Ltd
("CHC") and its subsidiary, CHC Helicopter S.A. ("CHC S.A."). The
ratings consist of CHC's B2 Corporate Family Rating (CFR), B2-PD
Probability of Default Rating (PDR), and SGL-3 Speculative Grade
Liquidity rating (SGL) and CHC S.A.'s B1 senior secured and Caa1
senior unsecured ratings. The rating outlooks for CHC and CHC S.A.
have been changed to positive from stable.

Ratings Rationale

"We have changed CHC's outlook to positive to reflect an expected
reduction in the company's financial leverage driven by $600
million in planned preferred equity proceeds combined with our
expectation for improving cash flow", said Darren Kirk, Moody's
Vice President and Senior Credit Officer. "We believe these
factors may enable CHC to reduce its financial leverage below 5.5x
over the next 12 to 18 months, which would support a higher rating
in this timeframe", added Kirk.

CHC's B2 CFR is driven by its high financial leverage (6.4x at
July 31, 2014) and negative free cash flow coupled with its
complex corporate structure and cyclical exposure. CHC's large,
high-quality helicopter fleet, however, provides critical offshore
transportation services to a diverse list of highly-rated oil &
gas companies globally. Its relationships are generally
longstanding and contractual with about 75% of its helicopter
services revenues derived from fixed monthly fees. CHC also
benefits from additional diversity through its government
contracts as well as its maintenance, repair and overhaul
business. Moody's expects the company's cash flows will improve
over the next several years based on positive industry
fundamentals and modest growth in CHC's fleet of high-quality
aircraft together with its cost containment efforts and lower
interest expense as it reduces debt from a portion of the expected
equity issuance.

CHC has adequate liquidity (SGL-3) provided by $120 million of
cash at July 31, 2014 and access to $324 million of its $375
million committed revolver (after $51 million of outstanding
letters of credits). These sources compare to Moody's estimate of
about $300 million of negative adjusted free cash flow (cash from
operations less gross capital expenditures excluding any asset
financing) over the twelve months ending July 31, 2015 and Moody's
estimate of about $200 million of debt associated with capitalized
operating lease maturities (assuming expiring leases are not
renewed) in the same timeframe. Moody's expects the company will
comply with maintenance covenants on its bank revolver and
aircraft leases, although the latter will have much narrower
margins. CHC's liquidity is somewhat enhanced by the likelihood
that it could raise cash against the value of its future capital
equipment purchases. Consistent with its practice for assessing
speculative grade liquidity ratings, Moody's will only incorporate
the benefit of the preferred equity raise in CHC's SGL rating once
the transaction closes. Moody's however expects CHC's liquidity
rating could be raised to SGL-2 at that time.

The positive outlook reflects Moody's expectation that CHC will
raise $600 million in proceeds from preferred shares by the end of
calendar 2014 and that its earnings may improve over the next 12-
18 months such that the company's adjusted leverage may reduce --
and be sustained -- below 5.5x.

A ratings upgrade would require CHC to actually demonstrate good
cash flow growth, with leverage trending toward 5.5x. Moody's
would also need to continue to expect that the company will be
able to satisfy its sizeable lease funding arrangements.

CHC's ratings could be downgraded if Moody's expects the company's
leverage will exceed 7x or if its liquidity is expected to become
inadequate.

CHINA GINSENG: Delays Fiscal 2014 Form 10-K
-------------------------------------------
China Ginseng Holdings Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25
with respect to its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 2014.

The Company said it was unable to file its Form 10-K for the year
ended June 30, 2014, in a timely manner because the Company was
not able to complete its financial statements without unreasonable
effort or expense.  The Company undertakes the responsibility to
file that report no later than 15 calendar days after its original
due date.

                         About China Ginseng

Changchun City, China-based China Ginseng Holdings, Inc., conducts
business through its four wholly-owned subsidiaries located in
China.  The Company has been granted 20-year land use rights to
3,705 acres of lands by the Chinese government for ginseng
planting and it controls, through lease, approximately 750 acres
of grape vineyards.  However, recent harvests of grapes showed
poor quality for wine production which indicates that the
vineyards are no longer suitable for planting grapes for wine
production.  Therefore, the Company has decided not to renew its
lease for the vineyards with the Chinese government upon
expiration in 2013 and, going forward, it intends to purchase
grapes from the open market in order to produce grape juice and
wine.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2014, showed $11.6
million in total assets, $14.31 million in total liabilities, and
a stockholders' deficit of $2.7 million.

"The Company had an accumulated deficit of $11.11 million as of
March 31, 2014 and there are existing uncertain conditions the
Company foresees relating to its ability to obtain working capital
and operate successfully.  These matters raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern,
according to the regulatory filing," the Company stated in its
quarterly report for the period ended March 31, 2014.


CHINA PRECISION: Delays Fiscal 2014 Form 10-K
---------------------------------------------
China Precision Steel, Inc., was not, without unreasonable effort
or expense, able to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, by Sept. 29, 2014.  The Company
anticipates that it will file its Form 10-K within the grace
period provided by Securities Exchange Act Rule 12b-25, according
to a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.

                     About China Precision Steel

China Precision Steel -- http://chinaprecisionsteelinc.com-- is a
niche precision steel processing company principally engaged in
the production and sale of high precision cold-rolled steel
products and provides value added services such as heat treatment
and cutting medium and high carbon hot-rolled steel strips. China
Precision Steel's high precision, ultra-thin, high strength (7.5
mm to 0.05 mm) cold-rolled steel products are mainly used in the
production of automotive components, food packaging materials, saw

manufacturers in the People's Republic of China as well as
overseas markets such as Nigeria, Ethiopia, Thailand and
Indonesia.  China Precision Steel was incorporated in 2002 and is
headquartered in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.

China Precision reported a net loss of $68.93 million on $36.52
million of sales revenues for the year ended June 30, 2013, as
compared with a net loss of $16.94 million on $142.97 million of
sales revenues during the prior fiscal year.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2014, showed $88.13
million in total assets, $78.16 million in total liabilities, all
current and $9.97 million in total stockholders' equity.

Moore Stephens, Certified Public Accountants, in Hong Kong, issued
a "going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 2013.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has suffered a very significant
loss in the year ended June 30, 2013, and defaulted on interest
and principal repayments of bank borrowings that raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.


CONQUEROR MARINE: Chase and Comar Win Partial Summary Judgment
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Robert Summerhays in Louisiana ruled on cross
motions for summary judgment filed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,
Comar Marine, LLC, and Superior Shipyard & Fabrication, Inc.,
which are defendants in a lawsuit commenced by Conqueror Marine
Logistics, LLC.

The partial motions for summary judgment address whether the
administrative expense claimants named as defendants are entitled
to surcharge collateral that secures Chase's preferred ship
mortgage and which allegedly secures Comar's claim.

In September 2009, Conqueror, Raider Marine Logistics, LLC, and
Enforcer Marine Logistics, LLC, filed for Chapter 11 relief.  The
three related debtors owned and operated 120-foot work boats. Each
debtor owned a single boat. Enforcer owned the Lady Ione, Raider
owned the Captain Ron, and Conqueror owned the Lady Barbara.

Comar managed the debtors' vessels pre-petition under written
management agreements.  The debtors terminated these agreements
prior to filing their Chapter 11 petitions on the grounds that
Comar mismanaged the vessels.

Comar contends that the debtors' actions breached the management
agreements, and asserts liens against the three vessels based on
labor and supplies provided in the operation of the vessels pre-
petition. Prior to the commencement of the case, Comar had the
three vessels arrested and commenced litigation in the U.S.
District Court for the Western District of Louisiana. Comar
asserted a preferred maritime lien against the vessels in the
amount of $132,055.90. (Cause No. 6:09-CV-1438 and No. 6:12-CV-
1533). The district court ultimately ruled that Comar does not
possess a preferred maritime lien on the vessels. An appeal from
that decision is currently pending before the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

After the commencement of the case, the court approved debtors'
retention of Lafayette Work Boat Rentals and then Global Oilfield
Contractors, LLC to manage the vessels. Lafayette Work Boat
Rentals and Global Oilfield Contractors hired crews and sub-
contractors to support the continued operation of the three
vessels. On August 8, 2012, however, the court ordered that the
case be converted from Chapter 11 to a case under Chapter 7, and
Elizabeth G. Andrus was duly appointed the Chapter 7 Trustee. The
court subsequently approved the sale of the Lady Barbara for
$655,000. The net proceeds of the sale were $591,330.87. The court
also approved the sale of the Lady Ione for $725,000. The net
proceeds of the sale were $660,960.83. The court ordered that
these funds be placed in the registry of the bankruptcy court.

On July 17, 2013, the Chapter 7 Trustee commenced the adversary
proceedings in the Conqueror Marine and Enforcer Marine cases. The
Trustee seeks a ruling on the validity, extent, and priority of
the liens asserted against the proceeds from the sale of the Lady
Barbara and the Lady Ione. The Trustee named Chase and Comar as
defendants.

Chase asserts a preferred ship mortgage in the amount of
$1,169,231.  Comar asserts a preferred maritime lien in the amount
of $132,055.90.

The Chapter 7 Trustee also named four subcontractors in Conqueror
Marine and five subcontractors in Enforcer Marine who seek
administrative expense treatment of claims for supplies, repairs,
and other services provided to the vessels after the petition date
but prior to conversion:

     1. Marine Systems, Inc. filed notices of liens against
Enforcer Marine for $95,000, $59,494, $20,257 and $34,336.

     2. Superior Shipyard & Fabrication, Inc., filed a claim in
the amount of $17,703 in Conqueror Marine and in the amount of
$48,740 in Enforcer Marine;

     3. South Coast Diesel, LLC, filed a claim in the3. amount of
$21,263 in Conqueror Marine and in the amount of $2,783 in
Enforcer Marine;

     4. C&P Distributing, LLC, which filed a claim in the amount
of $1,907 in Conqueror Marine and $846 in Enforcer Marine; and

     5. Allied Shipyard, Inc., which filed a claim in the amount
of $11,588 in Conqueror Marine and $9,054 in Enforcer Marine.

On July 23, 2013, the court granted Superior's motion to pay its
claim as an administrative expense of the Chapter 11 estate under
11 U.S.C. Sec. 503.  In response to Superior's motion, the Trustee
represented that there was less than $25,000 in the estate to pay
administrative claims. Given the lack of unencumbered property to
pay all administrative claims in full, the Administrative Expense
Claimants argue that their administrative expense claims should be
surcharged against the proceeds of the vessels under 11 U.S.C.
Sec. 506(c).

In his ruling, Judge Summerhays grants the motions for partial
summary judgment filed by Chase and Comar and rules that the
Administrative Expense Claimants cannot, as a matter of law,
surcharge the proceeds of the Lady Barbara and the Lady Ione under
11 U.S.C. Sec. 506(c). The motion for designation of priority
administrative expense under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 506(c) filed by
Superior -- which was consolidated with this adversary proceeding
-- is denied.  The motion for summary judgment filed by Superior
is also denied.

CRS HOLDING: Judge May Denies JY's Bid to Dismiss Ch. 11 Case

Inc., to dismiss the bankruptcy cases filed by Robert Swett on
behalf of CRS Holding of America, LLC, and its debtor affiliates,
asserting that the Receiver lacks standing to file the cases

and recorded in open court.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 8, 2014,
JY Creative, a secured and unsecured creditor of the Debtors, a
member of the board of directors, and a stockholder, asserted that
the appointment of a receiver does not deprive the corporate
directors of the power to file a bankruptcy petition.  JY Creative
further asserted that the Receiver, while clothed with many of the
powers and duties of a director of a corporation as a result of
the receivership order, is not a substitute director and is not
the corporation, and the filing of the bankruptcy petition must
have the effect of terminating the receivership.

CT TECHNOLOGIES: Moody's Affirms B2 CFR & Revises Outlook to Neg
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investor Service affirmed CT Technologies Intermediate
Holdings, Inc.'s (dba "HealthPort") ratings. The Corporate Family
rating ("CFR") was affirmed at B2, the Probability of Default
rating at B2-PD, the senior secured first lien ratings at B1 and
the senior secured second lien rating at Caa1. The ratings outlook
was revised to negative from stable.

Issuer: CT Technologies Intermediate Holdings Inc.

Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed B2

Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed B2-PD

Senior Secured First Lien, Affirmed B1 (LGD3)

Senior Secured Second Lien, Affirmed Caa1 (LGD5)

Outlook, Changed To Negative From Stable

Ratings Rationale

The B2 CFR reflects HealthPort's niche scope, relatively small
revenue size of just over $300 million and high pro forma
financial leverage (debt to EBITDA) expected to decline from
almost 8 times as of June 30, 2014 towards below 6 times over the
next 12 to 18 months. Moody's expects financial leverage
improvements will be driven by higher profitability reflecting
cost reduction initiatives completed in 2014. Financial metrics
reflect Moody's standard adjustments, as well as adjustments to
add back deferred revenues and to pro forma completed
acquisitions. Moody's anticipates revenue growth of 3% to 6% and
growth in free cash flow to about $20 million, supported by
Healthport's leadership position in the market for outsourced
medical information exchange management services and multi-year
contracts with large hospitals and hospital systems in the U.S.
Healthport's revenue growth slowed in early 2014 due to severe
winter weather which caused fewer working days, driving weak
revenues in the first quarter of 2014. Diminished revenues from
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service's (CMS) Recovery
Audit Contractor (RAC) program could challenge Healthport's
growth. Liquidity is considered adequate.

The negative ratings outlook reflects Moody's concern that if
revenue growth is less than anticipated, Healthport's financial
leverage could remain elevated, free cash flow could remain
diminished and liquidity could deteriorate. The ratings could be
downgraded if pricing pressures or negative regulatory
developments result in margin compression and declines in cash
generation such that Moody's anticipates diminished liquidity,
free cash flow to debt below 2% or debt to EBITDA sustained above
6 times. A debt-funded acquisition or dividend could also pressure
the rating. The ratings could be upgraded if HealthPort expands
its revenue base and reduces debt such that Moody's expects stable
profit margins, debt to EBITDA will be sustained below 5 times and
a good liquidity profile.

HealthPort is the largest provider of medical information exchange
management services in the United States. The company has been
majority-owned by ABRY Partners since 2007. Moody's expects 2014
revenues of about $325 million.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Business
& Consumer Service Industry Rating 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.

CUBIC ENERGY: To Restate Previously Filed Quarterly Reports
-----------------------------------------------------------
The management, with the approval of the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors, of Cubic Energy, Inc., concluded that the
previously issued financial statements contained in the Company's
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as amended, for the quarters ended
Dec. 31, 2013, and March 31, 2014, should no longer be relied upon
because of errors related to the accounting treatment relating to
certain warrants with full ratchet provisions and debt obligations
issued by the Company on Oct. 2, 2013.

In the financial statements included in the Forms 10-Q for the
Prior Periods, the Company improperly recorded the warrants with
full ratchet provisions as an increase to equity and valued them
at relative fair value.  The Company said it should have reflected
the warrants as a liability at their fair value and reflected
subsequent changes in the fair value of the liability in earnings.
The Company related it also should have recorded a larger discount
on the debt obligations and correspondingly higher subsequent
discount amortization.

As soon as practicable, the Company intends to file amendments to
the Forms 10-Q for the Prior Periods that will record the separate
warrant liability at its estimated fair value and adjust the
associated debt discount and related amortization, the Company
said in a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.

According to the filing, the Audit Committee has discussed the
matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with
management and Vogel - CPAs, PC, the Company's independent
registered public accounting firm during the Prior Periods.  Vogel
- CPAs, PC has indicated that it concurs with the Company's
conclusions and intended actions.

"Management is assessing the effect of the restatements on the
Company's internal control over financial reporting and disclosure
controls and procedures and will report its conclusion regarding
the Company's internal control over financial reporting and the
effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures in its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30,

----------------------------------------------------
Simon J.K. Miller, Receiver of D.A.B. Group LLC, seeks permission
from the Hon. Shelley C. Chapman of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of New York to employ Blank Rome LLP as
Receiver's counsel, nunc pro tunc to the July 14, 2014 petition

of Blank Rome.

The Debtor owns a commercial real property at 139-141 Orchard
Street, New York, NY Block 415, Lot 66 and 67.  The Property is
improved by a partially constructed hotel.

Prior to bankruptcy and pursuant to Order of the Supreme Court
dated July 18, 2011, Simon Miller was appointed Receiver for the

counsel.

After bankruptcy, the Debtor and Orchard Hotel LLC executed a
stipulation which provides for the Receiver to continue in place
on limited basis, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 543 of
the Bankruptcy Code.  The U.S. Trustee requested that, in
connection with the Stipulation and Mr. Miller's continuing
engagement to Blank Rome, the firm be formally retained upon
application to the Court.

DELIA*S INC: Incurs $13.59-Mil. Net Loss in August 2 Quarter
------------------------------------------------------------
dELiA*s, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, disclosing a net
loss of $13.59 million on $25.73 million of net revenues for the
three months ended Aug. 2, 2014, compared with a net loss of $12.1
million on $33.17 million of net revenues for the three months
ended Aug. 3, 2013.

The Company's balance sheet at Aug. 2, 2014, showed $75.59 million
in total assets, $37.55 million in total liabilities and total
stockholders' equity of $38.04 million.

The Company incurred a net loss of $25.2 million and negative cash
flows from operations of $30.5 million for the six months ended
August 2, 2014.  If the Company's current business trend
continues, the Company will not have sufficient liquidity to meet
its anticipated cash requirements through the next twelve months.
The speed of the Company's turnaround in a difficult retail
environment with reduced website and mall traffic has been slower
than expected.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  In order to
continue its operations, the Company would need to seek either
additional equity or debt financing, restructure existing debt,
adopt cost-cutting measures, or sell/merge the Company to
sufficiently extend its cash and liquidity.  There can be no
assurance, however, that any of these alternatives will be
successfully completed on terms acceptable to the Company or that
the Company can implement cost-cutting measures sufficient to
extend its cash and liquidity.  Management is currently
considering various financing alternatives.

DETROIT, MI: Defends 7th Amended Bankruptcy Plan
------------------------------------------------
Detroit defended the latest version of its bankruptcy plan, saying
it offers same treatment to all holders of claims tied to its
service contracts with the city's pension funds.

The city's latest plan, which includes terms of its settlement
with bond insurer Syncora Guarantee Inc., has been met with
opposition from Financial Guaranty Insurance Co. and holders of
certificates of participation, including Deutsche Bank AG's
London branch.  The objectors argued that the plan treats Syncora
better than other holders of COP claims in violation of the
Bankruptcy Code.

In a filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of Michigan, Detroit argued that not only Syncora but all
other holders of COP claims may settle issues concerning the
treatment of their claims.

According to the city, other holders of COP claims will receive a
pro rata share of the asset pool which includes up to
$88.4 million in unsecured bonds, if they choose to participate in
a settlement proposed under the bankruptcy plan.

Meanwhile, those that do not elect to participate in the
settlement will receive the default treatment for their COP claims
which remains unchanged from the old version of the plan.

"Holders of Class 9 COP claims can only benefit from the
modifications," the city said in the filing.  "They cannot and do
not suffer."

The city estimates that recoveries for holders of COP claims that
will accept the settlement will increase from a contingent maximum
of approximately 10% to a "guaranteed" recovery estimated at
13.7%.

Syncora in a court filing also defended the settlement, saying it
"cures the previous flaws with respect to COP claim treatment."

DINEEQUITY INC: S&P Affirms 'B' CCR Over Securitized Financing
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B' long-term
corporate credit rating on Glendale, Calif.-based DineEquity Inc.
The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P affirmed its 'BB-' issue-level rating on
DineEquity's existing senior secured credit facilities.  The
recovery rating is '1', indicating S&P's expectation of very high
recovery (90%-100%) in the event of a payment default.  S&P also
affirmed its 'B-' issue-level rating on the company's existing
senior unsecured notes.  The recovery rating is '5', indicating
S&P's expectation of modest recovery (10%-30%) in the event of a
payment default.

S&P intends to withdraw the issue-level and recovery ratings on
the company's senior notes and existing senior secured credit
facilities once repaid with proceeds from the securitized
financing facility.

"The affirmation follows DineEquity's announcement that it has
closed on its securitized financing facility, which we expect the
company will use to repay its existing debt," said credit analyst
Tobias Crabtree.  "The co-issuers of the securitization financing
facility own substantially all of the Applebee's and IHOP domestic
franchise, rental, and financing assets and will use cash flows
from these assets to service debt.  Forecast credit metrics (pro
forma to include the securitized financing facility) are largely
unchanged following the transaction with the company expected to
remain highly leveraged."

The stable rating outlook reflects S&P's view that DineEquity's
highly franchised model will lead to consistent and steady
operating results despite challenging casual dining industry
conditions.  The rating outlook also incorporates S&P's
expectations for debt to EBITDA to be above 5x.

Downside scenario

Although unlikely, given the company's relatively stable operating
performance as a result of its highly franchised business model,
S&P could lower the corporate credit rating if debt to EBITDA
increases above 6.5x.  This could occur if the company adopts more
aggressive financial policies and increases debt by $350 million,
while EBITDA remains constant.

Upside scenario

Following the recent securitization, S&P views an upgrade is more
likely to occur under a more favorable view of the company's
business rather than a sustained improvement in credit metrics
such that debt to EBITDA was to be sustained below 5x.  S&P's
cautious outlook for the casual- and family-dining segment over
the next year is currently a limiting factor to a more favorable
assessment of its business.


DUNE ENERGY: Enters Into Forbearance Agreement with Lenders
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dune Energy, Inc., on Oct. 1 disclosed it has entered into a
Forbearance Agreement and Fourth Amendment dated September 30,
2014 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement between the
Company and its lenders dated December 22, 2011, as amended.

The Company was in default of the Credit Agreement at the end of
the second quarter because the Total Debt to EBITDAX was 5.28 to
1.0, which was well over the required ratio of 4.0 to 1.0.  This
default has led to concerns as to whether the Company could
continue as a going concern.

Prior to the end of the second quarter, the Credit Agreement
lenders had also notified the Company that its borrowing base
under the revolver would be reduced to $37.5 million (including
outstanding letters of credit) on October 1, 2014.  Under the
terms of the Amendment, the creditors have agreed to a borrowing
base availability at $40 million and to waive the event of
default, as well as any current ratio covenant defaults as of
September 30, 2014, until the earlier to occur of December 31,
2014 or the closing or termination of the merger of the Company
under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
September 17, 2014, by and among EOS Petro, Inc., EOS Merger Sub,
Inc. and Dune Energy, Inc. (the "Merger Agreement"); provided that
the Company does not incur any additional Defaults, as defined in
the Credit Agreement.  The Amendment also added a covenant
requiring the Company to maintain as of September 30, 2014, a
ratio of total Revolving Credit Exposures (as such term is defined
in the Credit Agreement) as of such day to EBITDAX of not greater
than 2.5 to 1.0.

James A. Watt, President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company stated, "We appreciate the support provided by our lenders
and anticipate this will provide the company sufficient liquidity
to consummate the planned merger with EOS Petro, Inc."

                       About Dune Energy

Dune Energy, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: DNE) -- http://www.duneenergy.com/
-- is an independent energy company based in Houston, Texas.
Since May 2004, the Company has been engaged in the exploration,
development, acquisition and exploitation of natural gas and crude
oil properties, with interests along the Louisiana/Texas Gulf
Coast.  The Company's properties cover over 90,000 gross acres
across 27 producing oil and natural gas fields.

Dune Energy reported a net loss of $46.98 million in 2013, a net
loss of $7.85 million in 2012 and a net loss of $60.41 million in
2011.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $231.47 million in total
assets, $143.03 million in total liabilities and $88.43 million in
total stockholders' equity.

                           Going Concern

"We monitor our financial progress very carefully and attempt to
adjust our available projects in order to meet all of the
covenants of the Credit Agreement.  Notwithstanding these efforts,
our future revolver availability is also driven by the amount of
Notes outstanding, as they are part of the EBITDAX covenant
calculation used to determine our borrowing limit under the
revolver.  As a result of the PIK feature contained in the Notes,
the amount outstanding has increased over time and, therefore,
continues to put pressure on the EBITDAX covenant and limit
borrowing availability.  As we are no longer in compliance with
the financial covenant of the Credit Agreement, additional
borrowings may not permitted, and the outstanding revolver loans
may become due and payable upon notice to us by the Bank of
Montreal.  Absent relief from the Credit Agreement Lenders, the
restructuring of a material portion of the Notes or the emergence
of a new lender, our ability to meet our obligations in due course
is threatened.  Management is currently in discussions with all
parties and seeking new credit providers or other strategic
alternatives in an effort to resolve this liquidity stalemate.

"These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months," the
Company stated in the Form 10-Q Report for the period ended
June 30, 2014.

Exchange Commission a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25
with respect to its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 2014.

The Company said the Aanual Report could not be filed within the
prescribed time period due to the Company requiring additional
time to prepare and review that Report.  That delay could not be
eliminated by the Company without unreasonable effort and expense.
In accordance with Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, the Company said it will file its Form 10-K no later than 15
calendar days following the prescribed due date.

                        About Eco Building

proprietary wood products treated with an eco-friendly proprietary
chemistry that protects against mold, rot, decay, termites and

Eco Building incurred a net loss of $24.59 million on $5.22
million of total revenue for the year ended June 30, 2013, as
compared with a net loss of $11.17 million on $3.72 million of
total revenue during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2014, showed $2.71
million in total assets, $46.66 million in total liabilities and a
$43.95 million total stockholders' deficit.

Sam Kan & Company, in Alameda, California, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended June 30, 2013.  The independent auditors noted
that the Company has generated minimal operating revenues, losses
from operations, significant cash used in operating activities and
its viability is dependent upon its ability to obtain future
financing and successful operations.  These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.


ENDEAVOUR INT'L: Gets $440MM Loan; Restructuring Talks Ongoing
--------------------------------------------------------------
Endeavour International Corporation announced the closing of a
$440 million senior secured term loan with an annual interest rate
of LIBOR plus 10% (with a LIBOR floor of 1%), that matures on
Jan. 2, 2017.  The proceeds of the financing were used to repay
the balance outstanding under the Company's existing credit
agreement, dated as of Jan. 24, 2014, to repay in full certain
monetary production payments issued by the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, Endeavour Energy UK Limited, to repay all
reimbursement obligations outstanding with respect to the
Company's existing LC Procurement Agreement, dated as of Jan. 24,
2014, to provide cash collateral under the terms of a new LC
Issuance Agreement entered into by certain subsidiaries of the
Company (pursuant to which Credit Suisse AG has agreed to issue
letters of credit for EEUK's account to secure decommissioning
obligations in connection with certain of its United Kingdom
Continental Shelf Petroleum Production Licenses), for payment of
related expenses and to provide additional liquidity to the
Company.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have also entered into
forbearance agreements with holders of a majority of its 12% First
Priority Notes due 2018, 12% Second Priority Notes due 2018 and
6.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2016.  As previously announced
by the Company, the Company did not make the Sept. 2, 2014,
interest payments due on the Notes, triggering a 30-day grace
period that ends on Oct. 1, 2014.  Because the interest payments
are not being made during the grace period, an event of default
will occur under each series of Notes.  Under the terms of the
Forbearance Agreements, the noteholders have agreed to forbear
from exercising remedies against the Company arising from the
interest payment defaults and, with respect to the First Priority
Notes and Second Priority Notes, arising with respect to the
Credit Agreement.  The forbearance period is scheduled to expire
at 11:59pm on Oct. 7, 2014.

The Company said it remains engaged in discussions with
representatives of certain holders of its various classes of
indebtedness, including the holders of Notes, regarding a debt
restructuring plan that would be affected by the Company pursuant
to a chapter 11 filing.  No assurances can be given, however, that
those discussions will result in an agreement for a debt
restructuring plan.  Under the terms of the Credit Agreement,
neither a chapter 11 filing, nor the failure by the Company to pay
the interest due on the Notes, will result in an event of default
thereunder.

As reported by the TCR on Sept. 8, 2014, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded Endeavour International Corporation's Corporate Family
Rating (CFR) to Ca from Caa2.  The downgrade follows Endeavour's
decision to not make interest payments on its $404 million 12%
First Priority Notes due March 2018, $150 million 12% Second
Priority Notes due June 2018, and $18 million 6.5% Convertible
Senior Notes due November 2017.

The TCR also reported on Sept. 9, 2014, that Standard & Poor's
Rating Services lowered its corporate credit on Endeavour
International Corp. to 'D' from 'CCC'.  The downgrade is a result
of the company's decision not to pay approximately $33.5 million
in interest that was due on Sept. 2, 2014, on its 12% first
priority notes due March 2018, 12% second priority notes due June
2018, and 6.5% convertible senior notes due November 2017.  S&P do
not rate the convertible notes.


ESCALON MEDICAL: Reports $381K Net Loss for FY Ended June 30
------------------------------------------------------------
Escalon Medical Corp. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission on Sept. 26, 2014, its annual report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

The Company reported a net loss of $381,883 on $12.35 million of
net revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, compared
with net income of $2.62 million on $11.5 million of net revenues
in 2013.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2014, showed $7.66 million
in total assets, $4.19 million in total liabilities and
stockholders' equity of $3.46 million.

Escalon Medical Corp. had incurred recurring operating losses and
negative cash flows from operating activities.  These conditions
raised substantial doubt in prior periods about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern, according to the
regulatory filing.

The Company believes that its existing cash and cash flow from
operations will be sufficient to fund its activities throughout
fiscal 2015.  However, the Company based this estimate on
assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and it may use its
available capital resources sooner than the Company currently
expects.  Further, its operating plan may change, and may need
additional funds to meet operational needs and capital
requirements for product development and commercialization sooner
than planned.

ESSAR STEEL: Recapitalization Plans No Impact on Moody's Ca CFR
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service comments that Essar Steel Algoma's (ESA)
recapitalization and refinancing plan has no immediate impact on
the company's Ca Corporate Family Rating (CFR) or its Ca-PD
Probability of Default rating. Under the Plan of Arrangement
approved by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, ESA will be
refinancing its capital structure and receiving a capital infusion
from Essar Global Fund Ltd. Under the final order, lenders under
the ABL/Term loan facility, which had a maturity date of September
20, 2014 and was not repaid, or other parties as set forth in the
final order, may not terminate, accelerate, declare a default or
take other actions as described until the earlier of the effective
date of the refinancing and recapitalization or November 15, 2014.

The current ratings (Ca CFR) reflect the defaults that have
occurred and the prospects for debt recovery.

FLUX POWER: Reports $4.3 Million Fiscal 2014 Net Loss
-----------------------------------------------------
Flux Power Holdings, Inc., reported a net loss of $894,000, or
$0.01 per basic share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014,
compared to net income of $582,000, or $0.01 per diluted share,
for the same period in 2013.

Fiscal 2014 revenues were $358,000 vs. $772,000 in FY 2013, which
period included the non-cash recognition of $480,000 in deferred
revenue.  Full year 2014 results principally reflect initial
traction from the launch of new products in the second half of the
year.

Flux's 2014 net loss was $4,299,000, or $0.06 per basic share,
compared to 2013 net income of $351,000, or $0.01 per diluted
share.  The net income (loss) comparisons were impacted by a $6
million decrease in the non-cash benefit from the change in the
fair value of warrant liability in FY 2014 vs. 2013.  Excluding
that item, Flux's 2014 net loss would have declined vs. the prior
year by over $1 million.

CEO, Ron Dutt, commented, "Fiscal 2014 has been a truly
transformational year for Flux as we successfully pivoted our
product strategy and developed and launched new products for the
lift equipment industry.  Interest and the pace of customer trials
and adoption of industrial battery product lines have exceeded our
expectations.  Our efforts since January 1, 2014 have largely been
on shipping purchased and demonstration packs to national accounts
nationwide.  So far in the first quarter we have begun to convert
our sales and marketing activities into a growing base of formal
bids with national accounts, supported by strong interest from
battery distributors, lift truck dealers and manufacturers."

Flux Power expects to file its Form 10-K with the SEC this week.

prior year.

Squar, Milner, Peterson, Miranda & Williamson, LLP, in San Diego,
California, issued a "going concern" qualification on the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30,
2013.  The independent auditors noted that the Company has
incurred a significant accumulated deficit through June 30, 2013,
and requires immediate additional financing to sustain its
operations.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2014, showed $1.45
million in total assets, $4.30 million in total liabilities and a
$2.85 million total stockholders' deficit.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"If we are unable to increase sales of our products or obtain
additional funding in the near future, our cash resources will
rapidly be depleted and we may be required to further materially
reduce or suspend operations, which would likely have a material
adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships
with third parties with whom we have business relationships, at
least until additional funding is obtained.  If we do not have
sufficient funds to continue operations, we could be required to
liquidate our assets, seek bankruptcy protection or other
alternatives that would likely result in our receiving less than
the value at which those assets are carried on our financial
statements, and it is likely that investors will lose all or some
of their investment in us," the Company stated in the quarterly
report for the period ended March 31, 2014.


FLUX POWER: Delays Fiscal 2014 Form 10-K
----------------------------------------
Flux Power Holdings, Inc., was unable to file its annual report on
Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2014, within the
prescribed time period because the Company was unable, without
unreasonable effort or expense, to obtain and analyze the
information necessary to complete the preparation of the Form 10-
K.  The Company said in a regulatory filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission that it expects to complete and
file the Form 10-K by Oct. 14, 2014, however there can be no
assurances that the preparation and filing of the Form 10-K will
not be further delayed.

                          Conference Call

Flux Power held a conference call to discuss results for its
fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, and management's current business
outlook.

Ron Dutt, CEO and acting CFO, said the Company's fourth quarter
revenues of $201,000 more than doubled over Q3 levels.  And the
Company's Q1 OEM and national account activity shows that the
Company's product is now being recognized and is moving beyond the
"piloting" stage and entering the "adoption" stage.

According to Mr. Dutt, the Company's sales priority remains on
larger customers where it can better leverage its limited sales &
marketing resources.

FRESNO, CA: Moody's Affirms Ba2 Lease-Backed Obligations Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the City of Fresno's Issuer
Rating at Baa1. Moody's have also affirmed the city's lease-backed
obligations at Ba2. In addition, Moody's have affirmed the Ba3
ratings on the city's 2006A Convention Center bonds, 2002 Pension
Obligation Bonds and 2002 Judgment Obligation Bonds. Approximately
$352 million of debt is affected by these rating actions. Moody's
have revised our outlook on the city's long-term ratings to
positive from stable.

Ratings Rationale

The change in outlook fundamentally reflects the recent positive
changes in the city's tax base and local economy, contributing to
increases in property and sales taxes, the city's most important
revenue sources. The positive outlook also reflects our
expectation that the city's steps to rein in expenditures and
rebuild depleted reserves will pay off in the near- to medium-term
with help from the improving economy.

The affirmation of the long-term ratings reflects the city's still
quite weak financial position, which is at a positive inflection
point, given the city's improving economy and steady, capable
management. The ratings continue to reflect the city's exceedingly
weak balance sheet and a large fixed cost burden. Improvements in
the city's financial position have generally not yet translated
into better audited results, though unaudited FY 2014 figures and
the adopted fiscal 2015 budget suggest coming improvement. If the
city's reserve position improves through sustained operating
surpluses, the likelihood of an upgrade of the city's lease-
revenue, pension and judgment obligation bond ratings will
increase substantially.

The Baa1 issuer rating represents what the city's GO rating would
be if the city had such debt. Under California law, a city's GO
pledge is an unlimited ad valorem pledge of the city's tax base.
The city must raise property taxes by whatever amount necessary to
repay the obligation, irrespective of its underlying financial
position.

The Ba2 and Ba3 rating on the city's lease and pension/judgment
obligation bonds reflect the less secure pledge for lease and
pension/judgment obligation payments and reflects the additional
risk to bondholders from the city's financial, operational and
economic condition over the more secure GO pledge. A
lease/POB/judgment pledge is a contractual obligation, on parity
with a city's other unsecured obligations, backed by all of the
city's available financial resources.

Strengths

  Sizable tax base

  The city is the economic center of the San Joaquin Valley

  Stabilizing general fund operations

  Debt levels consistent with higher-rated cities

  Management commitment to improving the city's operating results
  and balance sheet

Challenges

  Recovering, but still weak, local economy

  City's narrow reserve levels leave it vulnerable to an economic
  downturn

  Weak socio-economic profile, including a very high poverty rate

Outlook

The positive outlook reflects the significant improvements in the
city's local economy and tax base, which is putting more revenues
in the city's coffers. Over the next few years, if this trend
continues, the city's financial position should also improve,
laying the basis for rating upgrades.

What Could Move The Rating UP

-- Continuing improvement in the city's tax base

-- Sustained trend in operating surpluses, leading to rebuilding
    of reserve levels to pre-recession norms

What Could Move The Rating DOWN

-- Continuation of recent trend of operating deficits

-- The city's regional economy lapses into recession, with
    declines in the tax base and sales taxes

The principal methodology used in this rating was US Local
Government General Obligation Debt published in January 2014. An
additional methodology used in rating the lease revenue debt was
The Fundamentals of Credit Analysis for Lease-Backed Municipal
Obligations published in December 2011.

The Troubled Company Reporter, on Sep. 29, 2014, reported that
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on U.S. automaker General Motors Co. (GM) to 'BBB-' from
'BB+', and revised the outlook to stable from positive.  At the
same time, S&P raised its issue-level rating on GM's unsecured
debt to 'BBB-' from 'BB+' and simultaneously withdrew its '4'
recovery rating on that debt, because S&P do not assign recovery
ratings to the issues of investment-grade companies.


GLOBAL ATLANTIC: Moody's Assigns Ba1 Long-Term Issuer Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a Ba1 long-term issuer
rating to Global Atlantic Financial Life Limited (GAFLL) with a
stable outlook. GAFLL is the primary intermediate holding company
for the life and annuity operations of its ultimate parent, Global
Atlantic Financial Group (Global Atlantic, GAFG, unrated).

Ratings Rationale

According to Moody's Assistant Vice President, Shachar Gonen,
"GAFLL's Ba1 issuer rating is three notches lower than the Baa1
(stable outlook) insurance financial strength (IFS) ratings of the
group's primary life and annuity operating entities, including
Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Company (Commonwealth),
First Allmerica Financial Life Insurance Company, and Forethought
Life Insurance Company (collectively Global Atlantic Life); it's
also the same as the senior debt rating of its wholly-owned
holding company, Forethought Financial Group, Inc." GAFLL derives
its cash flows through its indirect ownership of the
aforementioned direct writing companies as well as through the
direct ownership of the Bermuda-based life reinsurance operations
(Commonwealth Annuity and Life Reinsurance Company Limited
(Commonwealth Re), unrated).

The rating agency added that significant liquid resources are
available at the GAFLL and GAFG holding companies, which are
subject to less regulatory restrictions given their holding
company status as compared to US statutory entities. Moody's
expects a portion these resources, including those from the
eventual sale of the P&C reinsurance business, Ariel Re (unrated),
will be available to enhance financial flexibility as well as used
to maintain appropriate capital levels in support of the
anticipated growth of the life and annuity insurance business.
Moody's commented that Commonwealth Re generates material stable
cash flows from its historical block reinsurance business. The
business is very seasoned, is composed of well diversified product
offerings, and represented over 70% of GAFLL's earnings in H1
2014.

The rating agency said that offsetting these strengths is the
structural subordination from the senior debt outstanding ($150
million) at Forethought Financial Group, Inc. (FFG, Ba1 sr debt,
stable outlook) and from any potential future debt issuance from
holding companies directly or indirectly owned by GAFLL. Moody's
noted that significant addition to existing structural
subordination could pressure the Ba1 issuer rating of GAFLL.

Ratings Drivers

Moody's said the following factors could lead to an upgrade of
Global Atlantic Life's ratings: (1) the integration of the
recently acquired life and annuity businesses progresses without
disruption, (2) the risk profile of the insurance liabilities and
investments does not materially increase from current levels, (3)
the NAIC company action level (CAL) risk based capital (RBC) ratio
remains above 400%, after adjusting for captive reinsurers, and
(4) strong profitability is maintained with return on capital
consistently above 10%.

Conversely, the following factors could lead to a downgrade of
Global Atlantic Life's ratings: (1) a materially increased risk
profile or growth appetite, including another material acquisition
near-term, (2) reduced profitability with return on capital
falling below 5%, (3) a decline in the NAIC CAL RBC ratio to below
350%, or (4) adjusted financial leverage consistently above 25%.

The following ratings were assigned with a stable outlook:

Global Atlantic Financial Life Limited -- long-term issuer rating
at Ba1.

For the first six months of 2014, Commonwealth Annuity and Life
Insurance Company, the primary life operating company of Global
Atlantic Financial Group, reported a statutory net gain of $33
million. As of June 30, 2014, Commonwealth Annuity and Life
Insurance Company reported capital and surplus of $1.3 billion,
and statutory assets of $10.6 billion.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global Life
Insurers published in August 2014.

Moody's insurance financial strength ratings are opinions of the
ability of insurance companies to pay punctually senior
policyholder claims and obligations. Moody's issuer ratings are
opinions of the ability of entities to honor senior unsecured
financial counterparty obligations and contracts.


GOBP HOLDINGS: Moody's Assigns B3 Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 corporate family rating
and a B3-PD probability of default rating to GOBP Holdings Inc.
("GOBP"), the parent company of Grocery Outlet, Inc. ("GOI"). In
addition, Moody's assigned a B2 rating to the company's proposed
$75 million revolving credit facility, a B2 rating to the proposed
$440 million first lien term loan and a Caa2 rating to the
proposed $210 million second lien term loan. The rating outlook is
stable. Proceeds from the proposed credit facilities will be used
to refinance the company's existing debt and to finance the
acquisition of Grocery Outlet Inc. by Hellman & Friedman LLC. All
ratings are subject to satisfactory review of final documentation.

The following ratings are assigned:

Corporate Family Rating at B3;

Probability-of-Default Rating at B3-PD;

Proposed $75 million revolving credit facility expiring 2019 at B2
LGD3;

Proposed $440 million first lien term loan maturing 2021 at B2
LGD3;

Proposed $210 million second lien term loan maturing 2022 at Caa2
LGD5.

Ratings Rationale

The company's B3 Corporate Family Rating reflects its small scale
in terms of revenue and EBITDA, low barriers to entry, financial
policy risks that come with private equity ownership and high
financial leverage - proforma for the new debt Moody's estimates
debt/EBITDA including all adjustments to be at 8.2 times. Moody's
expects leverage to decline to around 6.5 times over the next 12-
18 months as GOI's refined strategy and management focus on
sharpening its customer value proposition and competitive price
positioning has resulted in positive same store sales and EBITDA
growth year-to-date 2014 which is expected to continue through
2015. Positive rating factors include GOI's attractive market
niche, a solid track record of organic and new store growth and a
good liquidity profile.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that GOI's credit
metrics will continue to improve modestly due to increased
profitability driven by organic and new store growth.

Ratings could be upgraded if the company demonstrates that the
under performance in fiscal 2013 (flat same store sales and
EBITDA) was an aberration due to non-recurring circumstances
unrelated to the company's business model. An upgrade would also
require improvement in margins, consistent same store sales
growth, and a material improvement in credit metrics while
maintaining good liquidity. Quantitatively, ratings could be
upgraded if EBITA/interest is sustained above 1.75 times and
debt/EBITDA is sustained below 6.25 times.

Ratings could be downgraded if same store sales and profitability
demonstrate a declining trend, financial policies become
aggressive or if liquidity materially deteriorates. Quantitatively
ratings could be downgraded if EBITA/interest is sustained below
1.25 times or if debt/EBITDA does not demonstrate a sustained
improvement towards 6.5 times.

Grocery Outlet Inc. ("GOI") headquartered in Emeryville, CA, is an
extreme-value retailer of food, beverages, and consumer goods. The
company will operate 218 stores by the end of fiscal 2014 in five
western states (CA, OR, WA, ID, and NV) as well as 16 stores in
Pennsylvania. After the closing of the proposed transaction the
company will be owned by Hellman & Friedman LLC. Revenues for the
last twelve months ended June 28, 2014 were approximately $1.4
billion.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Retail Industry published in June 2011. Other methodologies used
include Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial
Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.


GOOD BOOKS: Skyhorse, Perseus Books to Acquire Assets
-----------------------------------------------------
Skyhorse Publishing and The Perseus Books Group on Oct. 2
disclosed that they have successfully partnered to acquire the
assets of Good Books, which filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in
December 2013.  A sales order was approved on Oct. 2 by the
bankruptcy court and the closing is scheduled to take place in the
next few days.

After Skyhorse won the bankruptcy auction for all Good Books
assets, it immediately sold the Mayo Clinic book publishing
assets, which were a part of Good Books, to its distributor
Perseus.

Skyhorse retained all other Good Books assets, including its
popular New York Times Bestselling Fix-It and Forget-It series.
This series has sold millions of copies since it was first created
and continues to be the bedrock of the list.  In addition,
Skyhorse retained the Amish and Mennonite fiction, as well as
health, gift, and other lifestyle titles. Approximately 1.3
million books were included in the sale.  All of these titles will
be distributed by Perseus Distribution.  Skyhorse selected Perseus
Distribution as its exclusive service provider in August of 2013.

line of books, which includes the #1 New York Times bestsellers
The Mayo Clinic Diet and The Mayo Clinic Diabetes Diet, as well as
the popular Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy, Mayo
Clinic's Guide to Your Baby's First Year and the upcoming Mayo
Clinic Guide to Fertility and Conception.  These books will be
published under the auspices of Perseus' Da Capo Lifelong imprint,
known for its bestselling health and wellness books.  Da Capo has
an existing relationship with the Mayo Clinic as publisher of the
The Mayo Clinic Guide to Stress-Free Living and the upcoming Mayo
Clinic Handbook for Happiness.

"The logistics of this deal were very challenging, and there were
many twists and turns, but we found a way to bring the various
groups together to make this work for all parties," said
Tony Lyons, President and Publisher of Skyhorse Publishing.
"Getting this deal finalized and approved by the court shows the
strength of our relationship with Perseus and its incredible team.
We are honored to take over Good Books from its brilliant
founders, Merle and Phyllis Good, and look forward to working with
Perseus to bring this terrific brand under the Skyhorse banner and
back to it loyal readers around the country as well as to a new
generation of budding food enthusiasts."

"We admire Skyhorse and enjoy a close relationship through our
distribution partnership," said David Steinberger, President and
CEO of The Perseus Books Group.  "We are very pleased to partner
in this new way and to become the publisher of this broader Mayo
Clinic program."

"We're delighted to expand our relationship with the Mayo Clinic,
which has already led to some wonderful books for Da Capo
Lifelong," said John Radziewicz, Publisher of Da Capo Press.  "We
look forward to further partnering with Mayo to broaden its book
audience and to share its mission of making a difference in the
world."

GRAFTECH INT'L: Moody's Lowers Corp. Family Rating to Ba2
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded all long-term ratings for
GrafTech International Ltd., including the Corporate Family Rating
("CFR") to Ba2 from Ba1.The downgrade reflects continued softening
in the graphite electrodes business, increased volatility in the
non-electrodes business, and tightening liquidity. All long-term
ratings remain on review for downgrade.

"GrafTech's recent announcement raises our concerns that credit
metrics will remain weak for longer than expected as the company
and that the liquidity cushion will be relatively modest in
advance of the next debt maturity in November 2015," said Ben
Nelson, Moody's Assistant Vice President and lead analyst for
GrafTech International Ltd.

The actions:

Issuer: GrafTech International Ltd.

  Corporate Family Rating, Downgraded to Ba2 from Ba1, Under
  Review for Downgrade;

  Probability of Default Rating, Downgraded to Ba2-PD from Ba1-
  PD, Under Review for Downgrade;

  $470 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, Assigned
  Ba1 (LGD2), Under Review for Downgrade;

  $300 million Senior Unsecured Notes, Downgraded to Ba3 (LGD4)
  from Ba2, Under Review for Downgrade;

  Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Downgraded to SGL-3 from
  SGL-2.

The rating on the company's revolving credit facility was re-
assigned in light of the amendment and extension of maturity
earlier in 2014.

Ratings Rationale

Moody's does not expect GrafTech to restore credit metrics to
levels appropriate for the Ba1 CFR, including adjusted financial
leverage below 3 times (Debt/EBITDA), by early-to-mid 2015. The
supply/demand balance of the graphite electrode industry remains
disadvantageous for producers despite capacity reductions by
multiple industry participants. GrafTech plans to lower operating
rates due to order postponements in this business through year
end. The company lowered guidance for the graphite electrodes
business and, due to delayed consumer electronics product
launches, lowered guidance for non-electrodes business in advance
of its third quarter earnings call. Management has cut guidance
multiple times in recent quarters and plans to review its guidance
policies. These factors contribute, along with tightening
liquidity, contribute to the downgrade of the CFR to Ba2 from Ba1.

Moody's also believes that liquidity has tightened. The company
reported about $300 million of effective availability on its $470
million revolving credit facility after considering $68 million in
cash borrowings, $7 million of outstanding letters of credit, and
covenant-related restrictions. Moody's believes the tightest
covenant is a 3.0x senior secured leverage ratio test, which
implies EBITDA of about $125 million according to bank
calculations. Management has guided to $105-115 million of EBITDA
in 2014, which implies EBITDA will fall in the second half of the
year and the liquidity cushion could narrow further unless the
company is able to execute successfully plans to reduce
inventories. Moody's believes this cushion is particularly
important considering the upcoming maturity of the company's $200
million Senior Subordinated Notes in November 2015. These factors
drive the downgrade of the Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating
("SGL") to SGL-3 from SGL-2.

The review will focus on the likelihood that operating performance
will improve sufficiently to reduce leverage to below 4 times
within the next few quarters and expected liquidity cushion
through the next eighteen months. Key credit metrics remain weak
with adjusted financial leverage in the high 4 times
(Debt/EBITDA), interest coverage near 3 times (EBITDA/Interest),
and retained cash flow near 13% (RCF/Debt) for the twelve months
ended June 30, 2014. GrafTech provided updated information about
the timing and amount of its planned cost savings and inventory
reduction initiatives in a pre-release filing. Moody's expects the
company will provide additional information during its third
quarter conference call and intends to resolve the review for
downgrade shortly thereafter.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Chemical
Industry Rating Methodology published in December 2013. Other
methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-
Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA
published in June 2009.

GrafTech International Ltd. manufactures graphite electrodes,
refractory products, needle coke products, advanced graphite
materials, and natural graphite products. After completing an
announced rationalization program, the company will operate 18
manufacturing facilities for all products and have about 195k
metric tons of electrode capacity. Headquartered in Parma, Ohio,
GrafTech generated $1.2 billion of revenue for the twelve months
ended June 30, 2014.


GREEN EARTH: Incurs $6.8 Million Net Loss in Fiscal 2014
--------------------------------------------------------
Green Earth Technologies, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a
net loss of $6.84 million on $4.05 million of net sales for the
year ended June 30, 2014, compared to a net loss of $6.59 million
on $8.03 million of net sales for the year ended June 30, 2013.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2014, showed
$16.64 million in total assets, $26.98 million in total
liabilities, and a $10.34 million total stockholders' deficit.

Friedman LLP, in East Hanover, New Jersey, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended June 30, 2014.  The independent auditors noted
that the Company's losses, negative cash flows from operations,
working capital deficit, related party note in default payable
upon demand and its ability to pay its outstanding liabilities
through fiscal 2014 raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.

HCA HOLDINGS: Moody's Raises Corporate Family Rating to Ba3
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded HCA Holdings, Inc.'s Corporate
Family Rating to Ba3 from B1. The company's Probability of Default
Rating was also upgraded to Ba3-PD from B1-PD. The ratings on the
company's existing debt instruments at HCA Holdings, Inc. and HCA,
Inc. were also upgraded. HCA Holdings, Inc. is the parent company
of HCA, Inc. (collectively HCA or the company). The rating outlook
was changed to stable from positive.

"The upgrade of HCA's Corporate Family Rating to Ba3 reflects
Moody's expectation that the company will continue to employ
financial policies that include returns to shareholder but limit
increases in leverage," said Dean Diaz, a Moody's Senior Vice
President. "HCA has shown that it is willing to maintain a
disciplined approach to using incremental debt to fund shareholder
initiatives while using its healthy cash flow to continue to
invest in growth and maintain leverage within a manageable range,"
continued Diaz. "The upgrade also reflects Moody's expectation
that HCA will improve its profit margins and cash flow in the near
term as benefits of the Affordable Care Act result in lower bad
debt expense and improved cash collection," said Diaz.

The following is a summary of Moody's rating actions.

Ratings upgraded:

HCA Holdings, Inc.:

Corporate Family Rating to Ba3 from B1

Probability of Default Rating to Ba3-PD from B1-PD

Senior unsecured notes to B2 (LGD 6) from B3 (LGD 6)

HCA, Inc.:

Senior secured ABL revolver to Baa3 (LGD 1) from Ba1 (LGD 1)

Senior secured revolver to Ba2 (LGD 3) from Ba3 (LGD 3)

Senior secured term loans to Ba2 (LGD 3) from Ba3 (LGD 3)

Senior secured notes to Ba2 (LGD 3) from Ba3 (LGD 3)

Senior unsecured notes to B2 (LGD 5) from B3 (LGD 5)

Ratings affirmed:

HCA Holdings, Inc.:

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating at SGL-2

The rating outlook was changed to stable from positive.

Ratings Rationale

HCA's Ba3 Corporate Family Rating reflects Moody's expectation
that HCA's scale and dominant market strength will allow the
company to continue to grow revenue and maintain healthy EBITDA
margins. HCA's scale and position as the largest for-profit
hospital operator in terms of revenue, aids its ability to
leverage investments and resources needed to adapt to changes in
the sector and weather industry challenges. While Moody's
anticipates that the company will continue to return capital to
shareholders in lieu of debt repayment, the rating agency expects
that HCA will generate sufficient cash to fund moderate sized
acquisitions with little detrimental impact on credit metrics.
Moody's expects that the company will operate with debt to EBITDA
in the range of 4.5 to 5.0 times.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation that HCA
will continue to realize revenue and EBITDA growth as benefits of
the Affordable Care Act result in declining uninsured volumes and
lower bad debt expense. However, reinvestment in existing
operations and acquisitions will likely continue to limit
meaningful improvements in credit metrics. Finally, the outlook
incorporates Moody's expectation that the company will limit
increases in leverage for shareholder initiatives.

Moody's could upgrade the ratings if HCA realizes continued
earnings growth or repayment of debt such that debt to EBITDA is
expected to be maintained below 4.0 times. Additionally, Moody's
would have to see the company maintain a conservative financial
profile prior to considering an upgrade, including limiting
increases in leverage for shareholder distributions or share
repurchases.

If the company experiences a deterioration in operating trends,
for example, negative trends in same-facility adjusted admissions
or same-facility revenue per adjusted admission, Moody's could
downgrade the ratings. Additionally, Moody's could downgrade the
ratings if the company incurs additional debt to fund shareholder
distributions or acquisitions so that debt to EBITDA was expected
to be sustained above 5.0 times.

HCA Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of HCA Holdings, Inc.
(collectively HCA). Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, HCA is
the nation's largest acute care hospital company as measured by
revenue. A portion of the equity of HCA is still held by private
equity firms Bain Capital and KKR as well as members of
management. The company generated revenue in excess of $35
billion, net of the provision for doubtful accounts, in the twelve
months ended June 30, 2014.

Healthcare Service Providers published in December 2011. Other
methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-
Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA

HERON LAKE: Sends Newsletter to Unit Holders
--------------------------------------------
Heron Lake BioEnergy, LLC, disclosed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission that it published and sent a newsletter to its
unit holders on or about Sept. 30, 2014.

                           About Heron Lake

plant in Heron Lake, Minnesota.  After completing a conversion in
November 2011, the Company is now a natural gas fired ethanol
plant.  Its subsidiary, HLBE Pipeline Company, LLC, owns 73
percent of Agrinatural Gas, LLC, the pipeline company formed to
construct, own, and operate a natural gas pipeline that provides
natural gas to the Company's ethanol production facility through a
connection with the natural gas pipeline facilities of Northern
Border Pipeline Company in Cottonwood County, Minnesota.  Its
subsidiary, Lakefield Farmers Elevator, LLC, has grain facilities
at Lakefield and Wilder, Minnesota.  At nameplate, the Company's
ethanol plant has the capacity to process approximately 18.0
million bushels of corn each year, producing approximately 50
million gallons per year of fuel-grade ethanol and approximately
160,000 tons of distillers' grains with soluble.

Heron Lake reported net income of $2.26 million on $163.76 million

As of July 31, 2014, the Company had $66.70 million in total
assets, $15.92 million in total liabilities and $50.77 million in
total members' equity.

Boulay PLLP, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Oct. 31, 2013.  The independent auditors noted that
the Company has incurred losses due to difficult market conditions
and had lower levels of working capital than was desired.  These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"Our loan agreements with AgStar are secured by substantially all
business assets and are subject to various financial and non-
financial covenants that limit distributions and debt and require
minimum debt service coverage, net worth, and working capital
requirements.  The Company was in compliance with the covenants of
its loan agreements with AgStar as of October 31, 2013.  In the
past, the Company's failure to comply with the covenants of the
master loan agreement and failure to timely pay required
installments of principal has resulted in events of default under
the master loan agreement, entitling AgStar to accelerate and
declare due all amounts outstanding under the master loan
agreement.  If AgStar accelerated and declared due all amounts
outstanding under the master loan agreement, the Company would not
have adequate cash to repay the amounts due, resulting in a loss
of control of our business or bankruptcy," the Company said in its
annual report for the year ended Oct. 31, 2013.

ownership stake of the sports channel if the sale is approved, the
report said.

IMPLANT SCIENCES: Incurs $21 Million Net Loss in Fiscal 2014
------------------------------------------------------------
Implant Sciences Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing
a net loss of $21.01 million on $8.55 million of revenues for the
year ended June 30, 2014, compared to a net loss of $27.35 million
on $12.01 million of revenues for the year ended June 30, 2013.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2014, showed $5.47 million
in total assets, $66.68 million in total liabilities and a $61.20
million total stockholders' deficit.

Marcum LLP, in Boston, Massachusetts, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended June 30, 2014.  The independent auditors noted that
the Company has had recurring net losses and continues to
experience negative cash flows from operations.  As of Sept. 23,
2014, the Company's principal obligation to its primary lenders
was approximately $53,437,000 and accrued interest of
approximately $10,163,000.  The Company is required to repay all
borrowings and accrued interest to these lenders on March 31,
2015.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"Despite our current sales, expense and cash flow projections and
$17,512,000 in cash available from our line of credit with DMRJ,
at September 23, 2014, we will require additional capital in the
third quarter of fiscal 2015 to fund operations and continue the
development, commercialization and marketing of our products.  Our
failure to achieve our projections and/or obtain sufficient
additional capital on acceptable terms would have a material
adverse effect on our liquidity and operations and could require
us to file for protection under bankruptcy laws," the Company
stated in the Report.

INTERFAITH MEDICAL: Court Stays Deadline for Final Decree
---------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Carla E. Craig of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of New York suspended the deadline, which is set
for Sept. 9, 2014, to submit a final decree for the bankruptcy
case of Interfaith Medical Center Inc. at the behest of IMC
Disbursing Trust.

According to IMC, it will certainly take additional time complete
this process beyond the September 9 deadline.  IMC noted that the
Debtor's second amended Chapter 11 plan of reorganization became
effective on June 19, 2014.

The IMC together with the liquidating trust and the covered
persons fund monitor have been charged with administering various
aspects of the plan.  Administration of the Debtor's estate is
underway on many fronts, but is not yet complete.  Among other
tasks, the IMC is currently reviewing and analyzing claims --
including fee claims -- and liens against the Debtors' property in
advance of the hearing on Sept. 22, 2014.  By the confirmation
order, the deadline to object to all such claims has not yet
passed and will, instead, expire on the later of Dec. 16, 2014 or
180 days from the date of the claim that is filed, which may be
extended by the Court.

Additionally, the deadlines for medical malpractice claimants to
return their election forms and to file their claims have not yet
passed.  Once filed, the IMC and the covered persons fund monitor
will need time to review and analyze such claims, proceed in
mediation or state court accordingly, and ultimately resolve such
matters.  Therefore, although the parties are working diligently,
all of the aforementioned tasks, along with others required in
connection with administration of the Debtor's estate, will take
time -- some weeks, others months -- to complete, IMC noted.

INT'L MANUFACTURING: Ch.11 Trustee Hires Business Team as Broker
----------------------------------------------------------------
Beverly N. McFarland, the Chapter 11 Trustee of International
Manufacturing Group, Inc., seeks authorization from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California to employ
Business Team as business broker to sell the Business as a going
concern, effective Sept. 16, 2014.

The Listing Agreement grants an exclusive listing to Business Team
to

   (a) market the Business for a six-month period (subject to one
       extension for the period of time necessary to close a
       sale); and

   (b) perform a bid sale if more than one offer is received for
       the Business.

The Trustee has agreed to pay Business Team, upon the closing of a
sale, a commission fee of 10% of the gross accepted sale price if
Business Team procures the buyer.  This commission is a reduction
from the normal 12% commission Business Team typically charges for
a sale of this type. If the circumstances warrant, a break-up fee
will be negotiated subject to Court approval.

Aaron Culver of Business Team assured the Court that the firm is a
"disinterested person" as the term is defined in Section 101(14)
of the Bankruptcy Code and does not represent any interest adverse
to the Debtors and their estates.

JUTTE ELECTRIC: No Quick Ruling in First Financial' Suit
--------------------------------------------------------
Ohio Bankruptcy Judge Mary Ann Whipple denied First Financial
Bank, N.A.'s Motion for Summary Judgment in its lawsuit against
the principal of Jutte Electric, LTD.

Kenneth Jutte, and his wife, Alicia Michelle Jutte, filed a
petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on
February 12, 2012. After being granted an extension of time to
file a complaint to determine dischargeability, First Financial
timely filed its complaint.

First Financial alleges that the Juttes owe it a debt that arises
as a result of their conversion of property in which the bank had
a first and best security interest and to which it had a right of
possession and that is nondischargeable under 11 U.S.C. Sec.
523(a)(2)(A) and (a)(6).  The bank moves for summary judgment on
its claim under Sec. 523(a)(6) only.

Kenneth Jutte caused Jutte Electric to file a Chapter 11
bankruptcy petition (Bankr. N.D. Ohio Case No. 11-33379) on June
17, 2011.  On June 23, 2011, Jutte Electric's bankruptcy schedules
were filed, which Jutte declared were true and correct to the best
of his knowledge, information and belief.  Schedule B shows assets
that include, among other things, certain equipment and inventory,
and indicates that the equipment and inventory were valued at
$539,653.31 and were located at its shops in Fort Recovery, Ohio,
and Columbus, Ohio.  The Jutte Electric bankruptcy case was
ultimately dismissed.

Jutte Electric was a debtor-in-possession throughout the pendency
of its bankruptcy case.

Prior to seeking bankruptcy protection, Jutte Electric had
executed three promissory notes in favor of First Financial: (1) a
$400,000 note on October 17, 2008, (2) a $350,000 note on October
17, 2008, and (3) a $192,470.83 note on November 5, 2008.

As security for the loans, Jutte Electric granted First Financial
an interest in substantially all of its property.  The Notes are
now in default and, according to the bank, a total of $715,139.20
plus interest, costs and attorney fees is owed under them.

Alicia Jutte was not involved on a day-to-day basis in the
operations or activities of Jutte Electric.  According to Jutte,
in the ordinary course of the business operations of Jutte
Electric, he disposed of certain property to which First Financial
claims an interest but never caused any of the bank's collateral
to be transferred to HC3 Group LLC as alleged by the bank.  Jutte
holds no ownership interest in HC3 Group LLC but did facilitate
the company in obtaining an electrical license.

According to Judge Whipple, First Financial's evidence, and
specifically, Kent's affidavit, are insufficient to support a
finding that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact
and that it is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.  First
Financial has produced no proper evidence that the Juttes caused a
wrongful disposition of its property rights or that it had a right
to possession of any particular property at the time of its
disposition. While Jutte admits in his affidavit that he disposed
of certain property in the ordinary course of business, he does
not identify such property. To the extent that it consists of
inventory, the security agreements specifically permit the sale of
inventory. And although the bank has a security interest in the
proceeds of the sale of any inventory and such proceeds may not
have been turned over to the bank, the Court said it has directed
the court to no provision in the security agreements requiring
turnover of those proceeds.  First Financial also offers no
evidence that it ever demanded turnover of any of its collateral.

Order is available at http://is.gd/sBfvzOfrom Leagle.com.

Jutte Electric Ltd., based in Fort Recovery, Ohio, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. N.D. Ohio Case No. 11-33379) on June
17, 2011.  Judge Mary Ann Whipple presides over the case.  Randy
Lee Reeves, Esq., at Randy L. Reeves Co., LPA, serves as the
Debtor's counsel.  In its petition, the Debtor estimated $1
million to $10 million in both assets and debts.  The petition was
signed by Kenneth R. Jutte, CEO.

                            About KEMET

KEMET, based in Greenville, South Carolina, is a manufacturer and
supplier of passive electronic components, specializing in
tantalum, multilayer ceramic, film, solid aluminum, electrolytic,
and paper capacitors.  KEMET's common stock is listed on the NYSE
under the symbol "KEM."

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2014, showed $838.64
million in total assets, $620.39 million in total liabilities and
$218.25 million in total stockholders' equity.

                            *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on March 26, 2013, Moody's Investors
Service downgraded KEMET Corp.'s Corporate Family Rating to Caa1
from B2 and the Probability of Default Rating to Caa1-PD from B2-
PD based on Moody's expectation that KEMET's liquidity will be
pressured by maturing liabilities and negative free cash flow due
to the interest burden and continued operating losses at the Film
and Electrolytic segment.

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 9, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Simpsonville,
S.C.-based KEMET Corp. to 'B-' from 'B+'.

"The downgrade is based on continued top-line and margin pressures
and lagging results from the restructuring of the Film &
Electrolytic [F&E] business, which combined with cyclical weak
end-market demand, has resulted in sustained, elevated leverage
well in excess of 5x, persistent negative FOCF, and diminishing
liquidity," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Alfred
Bonfantini.

The TCR reported in August 2014 that Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services revised its outlook on Greenville, S.C.-based capacitor
supplier KEMET Corp. to stable from negative.  S&P affirmed the
ratings, including the 'B-' corporate credit rating.

MEDICAL ALARM: Delays Filing of Fiscal 2014 Form 10-K
-----------------------------------------------------
Medical Alarm Concepts Holding, Inc., was unable to timely file
its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, within the
prescribed time period because the Company was unable to complete
its financial statements for the auditor's review without
unreasonable effort or expense, according to the Company's
regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.  The Company said it is in the process of compiling
the required information for its independent registered public
accounting to review the financial statements for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2014.

The Company currently anticipates that the Annual Report will be
filed as soon as practicable.

MF GLOBAL: Judge Approves $295MM Payout for Unsecured Creditors
---------------------------------------------------------------
Joseph Checkler, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported
that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn in Manhattan approved a
payout for MF Global's unsecured creditors, who have waited nearly
three years as customers of the collapsed brokerage already had
their money returned.  According to the report, James W. Giddens,
the trustee in charge of winding down the brokerage, could pay the
unsecured creditors about $295 million.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, Judge
Glenn held off approval of the payout plan saying he was
uncomfortable with one part of the proposal: MF Global's request
to estimate certain unresolved claims at zero dollars.  The judge
said he was "not happy" that he didn't have enough information on
some of the claims.

To address Judge Glenn's concerns, Mr. Giddens provided specific
information about the unresolved claims that will be placed under
a reserve fund of more than $400 million and legal arguments as to
why he should place a cap on the amounts, the Journal related.

                         About MF Global

New York-based MF Global -- http://www.mfglobal.com/-- was one of
the world's leading brokers of commodities and listed derivatives.
MF Global provides access to more than 70 exchanges around the
world.  The firm also was one of 22 primary dealers authorized to
trade U.S. government securities with the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York.  MF Global's roots go back nearly 230 years to a sugar
brokerage on the banks of the Thames River in London.

On Oct. 31, 2011, MF Global Holdings Ltd. and MF Global Finance
USA Inc. filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.
Case Nos. 11-15059 and 11-5058), after a planned sale to
Interactive Brokers Group collapsed.  As of Sept. 30, 2011, MF
Global had $41,046,594,000 in total assets and $39,683,915,000 in
total liabilities.

On Nov. 7, 2011, the United States Trustee appointed the statutory
creditors' committee in the Debtors' cases.  At the behest of the
Statutory Creditor's Committee, the Court directed the U.S.
Trustee to appoint a chapter 11 trustee.  On Nov. 28, 2011, the
Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the appointment of
Louis J. Freeh, Esq., of Freeh Group International Solutions, LLC,
as Chapter 11 trustee.

On Dec. 19, 2011, MF Global Capital LLC, MF Global Market Services
LLC and MF Global FX Clear LLC filed voluntary Chapter 11

11-15810).  On Dec. 27, the Court entered an order installing Mr.
Freeh as Chapter 11 Trustee of the New Debtors.

On March 2, 2012, MF Global Holdings USA Inc. filed a voluntary
Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 12-10863), and Mr.
Freeh also was installed as its Chapter 11 Trustee.

J. Gregory Milmoe, Esq., Kenneth S. Ziman, Esq., and J. Eric
Ivester, Esq., at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, serve
as bankruptcy counsel.  The Garden City Group, Inc., serves as

bankruptcy counsel; and (iv) Pepper Hamilton as special counsel.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors has retained

The Securities Investor Protection Corporation commenced
liquidation proceedings against MF Global Inc. to protect
customers.  James W. Giddens was appointed as trustee pursuant to
the Securities Investor Protection Act.  He is a partner at Hughes
Hubbard & Reed LLP in New York.

Jon Corzine, the former New Jersey governor and co-CEO of
Goldman Sachs Group Inc., stepped down as chairman and chief
executive officer of MF Global just days after the bankruptcy
filing.

In April 2013, the Bankruptcy Court approved MF Global Holdings'
plan to liquidate its assets.  Bloomberg News reported that the
court-approved disclosure statement initially told
creditors with $1.134 billion in unsecured claims against the
parent holding company why they could expect a recovery of 13.4%
to 39.1% from the plan.  As a consequence of a settlement with
JPMorgan, supplemental materials informed unsecured creditors
their recovery was reduced to the range of 11.4% to 34.4%.  Bank
lenders will have the same recovery on their $1.174 billion claim
against the holding company.  As a consequence of the settlement,
the predicted recovery became 18% to 41.5% for holders of $1.19
billion in unsecured claims against the finance subsidiary,
one of the companies under the umbrella of the holding company
trustee.  Previously, the predicted recovery was 14.7% to 34% on
bank lenders' claims against the finance subsidiary.

MOMENTIVE PERFORMANCE: Inks Deal Resolving USA's Plan Objection
---------------------------------------------------------------
MPM Silicones, LLC, et al., entered into a stipulation with the
United States of America resolving the limited objection to Joint
Plan of Reorganization for the Debtors.

The stipulation dated Sept. 19, 2014, provides for, among other
things:

   1. Paragraph 63 of the confirmation order is deleted in its
entirety and replaced as:

      63. Except as permitted under applicable law, nothing
      in the Plan or this confirmation order will be deemed
      to expand the Court's jurisdiction with respect to
      determining the federal tax liability of any person
      or entity, including but not limited to the Debtors
      and the Reorganized Debtors, or the federal tax
      treatment of any item, distribution or entity,
      including the federal tax consequences of the Plan.
      In confirming the Plan, the Court has not made any
      determination as to the federal tax liability of any
      person or entity, including but not limited to the
      Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, or the federal
      tax treatment of any item, distribution or entity,
      including the federal tax consequences of the Plan.
      The fact that certain language was previously included
      in Section 12.5 of the Plan and then removed from
      subsequent drafts of the Plan is not intended, and
      will not be construed, as evidence as to the federal
      tax consequences of the Plan or the Court's
      jurisdiction with regard to any federal tax
      consequences of the Plan.  In addition, no provision
      in the Plan or the order relieves the Debtors and the

      Reorganized Debtors from their obligations to comply
      with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and
      the rules, regulations and orders promulgated
      thereunder by the Federal Communications Commission.
      No transfer of control to the Reorganized Debtors of
      any federal license or authorization issued by the FCC
      will take place prior to the issuance of FCC regulatory
      approval for such transfer of control pursuant to
      applicable FCC regulations.  The FCC's rights and
      powers to take any action pursuant to its regulatory
      authority over the transfer of control to the
      Reorganized Debtors, including, but not limited to,
      imposing any regulatory conditions on such transfer,
      are fully preserved, and nothing herein will proscribe or
      constrain the FCC's exercise of such power or authority.

   2. The stipulation fully and finally resolves the United States
objection.

Previously, the Court scheduled a hearing on the limited objection
of the USA to Joint Plan of Reorganization for the Debtors.

MOMENTIVE SPECIALTY: S&P Lowers CCR to 'CCC+'; Outlook Negative
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Momentive Specialty Chemicals Inc. (MSC) by one notch to
'CCC+' from 'B-'.  The outlook is negative.

At the same time, S&P lowered all of its issue ratings on MSC and
its subsidiaries by one notch.  Based on S&P's updated recovery
assumptions, it revised the recovery rating on the company's
first-lien debt to '3' from '4', indicating expectations of
meaningful recovery (50% to 70%) in the event of a payment
default.  The recovery ratings on all MSC's other debt remain
unchanged at '5'.

"The downgrade follows MSC's significant use of cash in the first
half of 2014 and our expectation that lackluster cash flow from
operations and elevated capital spending will cause free operating
cash flow to be significantly negative in 2014 and 2015," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Cynthia Werneth. MSC used
approximately $330 million of cash during the six months ended
June 30, 2014, double the year-earlier amount.  In 2014, use of
cash for working capital was significantly higher primarily
because of revenue growth and an increase in inventory in advance
of a maintenance shutdown.  In addition, the company completed $64
million of acquisitions during the first half of the year, and
announced the planned construction of two new plants.  Management
has indicated that it expects capital spending to total between
$185 million and $210 million this year, far above maintenance
spending which we estimate at about $100 million, and meaningfully
higher than the last two years.  "We expect capital spending to
remain at approximately the same level in 2015 as in 2014.  As a
result, we anticipate free operating cash flow (which is before
acquisitions) to be a use of cash of between $150 million and $200
million for each of the full years 2014 and 2015 as construction
of the announced growth projects is completed," S&P said.

The negative outlook primarily reflects S&P's expectation that
liquidity will continue to decline as business conditions remain
challenging, working capital is a moderate use of cash on an
annual basis (but is subject to substantial seasonal swings), and
MSC completes spending on growth projects in 2014 and 2015.

S&P could lower the ratings during the next year if liquidity
weakens more than it expects, increasing the likelihood that MSC
cannot meet its payment obligations.  This could occur if
macroeconomic or industry conditions worsen materially, raw
material costs spike and MSC is unable to pass cost increases on
to its customers, capital spending exceeds S&P's expectations,
there are additional sizable acquisitions, the shared services
agreement with MPM is terminated or significantly amended, or if
MSC incurs substantial restructuring costs.  S&P could also lower
the ratings if it believes a debt restructuring is likely.

S&P could revise the outlook to stable if improved operating
performance and lower capital spending cause operating cash flow
to turn positive and we think it is likely to remain so, and
liquidity strengthens to "adequate" as defined in S&P's criteria.
Although unlikely in the near term, S&P could raise the ratings
slightly if the foregoing comes to pass, MSC achieves and
maintains an adjusted debt to EBITDA ratio of about 6x, and the
financial sponsor appears unlikely to relever the company.


MOONLIGHT APARTMENTS: Bankruptcy Court Closes Reorganization Case
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Robert T. Berger closed the Chapter 11 case of
Moonlight Apartments, LLC, after the bank sold all of the Debtor's
assets at an auction.

The Court on March 20, 2014, entered an order (i) designating the
case as a single asset real estate case; (ii) allowing the interim
use of cash collateral.   The cash collateral order authorized the
receiver to continue to operate the receivership property and use
cash collateral, and provided a $25,000 fee cap for Debtor's
professionals.

The Debtor did not pay off First Capital Corporation in full by
May 28, 2014, so on or around May 29, 2014, the receiver turned
over to the First Capital all remaining receivership property in
its control.

The Court noted that there was cause for dismissal of the case.

"There is no need for the bankruptcy to continue because First
Capital was granted stay relief with respect to all assets of the
Debtor and has taken control over all or substantially all of
those assets, leaving no assets in the bankruptcy estate and no
likelihood of rehabilitation," Judge Berger stated.

The Debtor has withdrawn its opposition to the receiver Carl
Clark's motion to dismiss the case.  The Debtor had initially
stated that it has no objection to Mr. Clark's withdrawal as
receiver but its does not wish to dismiss its case until it
evaluates the merit of a potential breach of contract claim.

As reported in the TCR on Aug. 4, 2014, the receiver, in seeking
the dismissal, noted that as the Debtor's real estate was sold at
auction, and cash collateral was used to satisfy First Capital's
lien, there are no remaining assets in the bankruptcy estate.
Thus, the receiver contends that there is "cause" for dismissing
the case pursuant to Sec. 1112(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The
receiver further contended that continuing the bankruptcy case
under either chapter 11 or chapter 7 would result in ongoing
administrative fees and expenses which would deplete any funds
available to unsecured creditors.

NATCHEZ REGIONAL CENTER: Community Health Systems Buys Hospital
---------------------------------------------------------------
Community Health Systems, Inc., on Oct. 1 disclosed that a
subsidiary has acquired substantially all of the assets of Natchez
Regional Medical Center, a 179-bed hospital located in Natchez,
Mississippi.

Community Health Systems' subsidiary was the sole and winning
bidder in an auction of the hospital by the Adams County Board of
Supervisors on Sept. 11, 2014.  The sale of the hospital was
approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on Sept. 30, 2014.

A separate subsidiary of the Company owns and operates 101-bed
Natchez Community Hospital, which became an affiliate of Community
Health Systems through the acquisition of Health Management
Associates, Inc. in January 2014.  Over time, operations of the
two Natchez hospitals will be consolidated to create a stronger,
more efficient healthcare delivery system.

Commenting on [Wednes]day's announcement, Wayne T. Smith, chairman
and chief executive officer of Community Health Systems, Inc.,
said, "We see considerable opportunity to support the physicians
and employees of these hospitals as they work together to create a
sustainable, successful healthcare system.  The combination of
these facilities ultimately will result in an operationally strong
hospital, a more coordinated approach to patient care, and
enhanced access to a wide array of quality health services for
local residents."

Community Health Systems' affiliates own and operate 13 acute care
hospitals in Mississippi.

                    About Natchez Regional

Based in Natchez, Mississippi, Natchez Regional Medical Center is
a full-service hospital offering comprehensive diagnostic and
treatment services for acute, subacute and ambulatory care.
Natchez Regional serves as a referral center for the five
Mississippi counties and two Louisiana parishes it serves, known
locally as the Miss-Lou.  The hospital is owned by Adams County.

Natchez Regional Medical Center filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy
protection (Bankr. S.D. Miss. Case No. 14-01048) on March 26,
2014.  Eileen N. Shaffer, Esq., Attorney At Law, serves as
bankruptcy counsel.  In its petition, the Center listed total
assets of $27.8 million and total debts of $20.80 million.  The
petition was signed by Donny Rentfro, hospital CEO.

At the onset of the case, the 179-bed facility said intends to
have a term sheet outlining a sale of the facility to a "qualified
buyer."  The hospital blamed financial problems on "ill-timed and
poorly integrated acquisition of physicians' practices and new
clinical technologies," the report related.

This is the Center's second bankruptcy filing in six years.  It
filed a Chapter 9 petition on Feb. 12, 2009 (Bankr. S.D. Miss.
Case No. 09-00477).  Eileen N. Shaffer, Esq., also represented the
Debtor as counsel in the 2009 case.  The Debtor listed total
assets of between $10 million and $50 million, and total debts of
between $10 million and $50 million in the 2009 petition.  Nathcez
Regional exited bankruptcy in December 2009 after a court approved
its plan of adjustment, in which all unsecured creditors owed
$5,000 were to be paid in full.

In the 2014 case, Bankruptcy Judge Neil P. Olack, who presides
over the case, has held that appointment of a patient care
ombudsman is unnecessary.

The U.S. Trustee appointed three creditors to serve in the
official committee of unsecured creditors.  Douglas S. Draper,
Esq., and Heller, Draper, Patrick, Horn & Dabney, L.L.C., serve as
lead counsel.  David A. Wheeler, Esq., and Wheeler & Wheeler,
PLLC, serve as local counsel.

date.  The Company has the right, in its discretion, to enforce a
"Conversion Floor" equal to $0.10 per share, which, if enforced by

repays any then outstanding principal amount due to JMJ prior to
the date 90 days following the issue date of the Note, the
interest on that amount will be 0%.  If the Company repays any
then outstanding principal amount due to JMJ after the Interest
Date, that amount will be charged with a one-time 12% interest
charge.

NUVEEN INVESTMENTS: S&P Raises Issuer Credit Rating From 'B-'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it raised its issuer
credit rating on Nuveen Investments Inc. to 'BBB' from 'B-' and
removed the rating from CreditWatch, where it had been placed with
positive implications on April 14, 2014.  The outlook is stable.
At the same time, S&P raised Nuveen's stand-alone credit profile
(SACP) to 'bb' from 'b-'.  In addition, S&P withdrew its 'B' issue
credit rating on the company's senior secured first-lien term loan
and revolver and its 'CCC' issue credit rating on the company's
senior secured second-lien term loan.  S&P also raised its issue
credit rating on the company's senior unsecured notes to 'BBB'
from 'CCC' and removed it from CreditWatch positive.

The upgrade follows the close of TIAA's acquisition of Nuveen.
"In our view, the transaction improves Nuveen's financial and
business profiles by significantly reducing the company's
outstanding debt, supporting improved cash flow generation due to
lower interest expense, and potentially creating new growth
opportunities," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Olga Roman.
Additionally, S&P's ratings on Nuveen benefit from implicit
support from TIAA.  S&P's issuer credit rating on Nuveen is three
notches higher than its SACP of 'bb', reflecting S&P's standard
three-notch uplift for a "strategically important" subsidiary of a
consolidated group, per S&P's group rating methodology.

TIAA has indicated that Nuveen will operate as a separate
subsidiary within TIAA Asset Management, retaining its brand and
multi-boutique operating model.  At the closing of the
transaction, Nuveen's outstanding debt will total about $1.4
billion, consisting of $300 million in senior notes due in 2015,
$500 million in senior notes due in 2017, and $645 million in
senior notes due in 2020.  The first- and second-lien term loans
will be repaid in full at close, and the revolver will be retired.
Also at closing, TAM Finance Co. LLC, a new wholly owned
subsidiary holding company of TIAA formed to hold the equity
interests in Nuveen, will have about $400 million in an
intercompany temporary loan outstanding.  Pro forma for a new
capital structure and including $400 million intercompany
temporary loan outstanding, Nuveen's debt to last-12-months EBITDA
would be approximately 4.3x, and its EBITDA interest coverage
would be about 3.5x as of June 30, 2014.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectations that AUM will
remain relatively flat over the next 12-18 months and that Nuveen
will continue to operate with debt to EBITDA below 5x.  S&P could
lower the ratings if debt to EBITDA surpasses 5x because of either
an unexpected drop in AUM or an increase in debt.  S&P could also
lower the ratings if its assessment of Nuveen's strategic
importance to TIAA changes.  Because S&P does not anticipate
material sustained improvement in the company's financial metrics
over the next 12-18 months, the potential for an upgrade is likely
to be limited over that time horizon.


NUVERRA ENVIRONMENTAL: S&P Lowers CCR to 'B-'; Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Nuverra Environmental Solutions Inc. to 'B-' from 'B'.
The outlook is stable.  At the same time, S&P lowered its issue
rating on the company's $400 million senior unsecured notes to
'B-' from 'B'.  The recovery rating on the notes remains unchanged
at '3'.

"The rating action reflects our view that the company's financial
risk profile is now more consistent with a "highly leveraged"
characterization, as we now recognize the volatility in Nuverra's
earnings and cash flows is greater than we previously considered,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst James Siahaan.  S&P assumes
the upcoming sale of the company's industrial solutions segment
will render the company as being more akin to an oilfield services
company.  S&P tends to regard these companies as having higher
volatility because their performance depends on cyclical hydraulic
fracturing activity in their key shale basins.  The company has
faced delays in its plan to divest its industrial solutions
segment and S&P now believes that the divestiture proceeds, if
they do materialize, are likely to be materially lower than we
initially assumed.

During the past seven months, S&P has seen the company's
negotiations with potential acquirer VeroLube USA Inc. become
challenged, as VeroLube reduced its purchase price consideration
to $145 million from $175 million initially.  S&P had also
anticipated the divestiture to have been completed by now.  In
addition, the company's earnings and cash flows have
underperformed S&P's expectations.  Through the first six months
of 2014, the company's annualized debt to EBITDA ratio increased
to 7.1x as of June 30, 2014, from 4.3x during the same period in
2013 (which included earnings from the industrial solutions
segment).  While S&P projects some improvement in the company's
earnings during the back half of 2014, it places greater focus on
the completion of the divestiture along with related debt
reduction.  S&P's base-case forecast assumes that Nuverra does
divest the industrial solutions segment and repays credit facility
debt to yield an adjusted debt to EBITDA ratio in the 5x area by
the end of 2014.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' stable outlook on Nuverra
reflects S&P's assumption that the company completes the sale of
its industrial solutions division, uses the proceeds to repay
revolver debt, and maintains adequate liquidity.  While S&P
expects the company's operating results to show some improvement
in the back half of 2014, its ratings recognize high volatility in
Nuverra's credit measures given its dependence on cyclical, oil
and gas price-dependent hydraulic fracturing activity.  S&P views
an adjusted debt to EBITDA ratio of 5x to 6x as being appropriate
for the current ratings.

S&P could lower the ratings if the downside risks to its forecast
materialize -- such as an inability to divest the industrial
solutions division on acceptable terms, unfavorable economic
trends or environmental regulations that curtail drilling activity
and investments, other operating problems that constrain
liquidity, or the incurrence of significant debt to fund
acquisitions or a shareholder distribution.  If the company's
availability under its credit facility falls below 12.5% of the
total size of the facility, this could initiate a covenant testing
period, and could prompt S&P to lower the ratings if liquidity is
not restored in a timely fashion.

S&P could raise the ratings if the company reduces debt and
demonstrates a stable operating profile such that its debt to
EBITDA ratio is consistently near the lower end of the 5x to 6x
range and it improves the headroom under its springing fixed-
charge coverage ratio.  Stronger credit ratios would provide
cushion against future volatility and could allow S&P to re-assess
its ratings.  S&P would also need to be assured that the
volatility in Nuverra's earnings and cash flows eases to a lower
degree than S&P currently expects.  An upgrade would also be
contingent upon the company maintaining adequate liquidity, with
sources of cash sufficient to cover uses by at least 1.2x over the
following 12 months.


NYTEX ENERGY: Incurs $441,000 Net Loss in March 31 Quarter
----------------------------------------------------------
Nytex Energy Holdings, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing
a net loss of $441,227 on $76,467 of total revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 2014, compared to a net loss of $669,560 on
$449,573 of total revenues for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2014, showed $4.32
million in total assets, $1.42 million in total liabilities, $3.72
million in mezzanine equity, and a $816,573 total stockholders'
deficit.

"We cannot be certain that our existing sources of cash will be
adequate to meet our liquidity requirements, including cash
requirements that may be due under existing debt obligations as
well as amounts due to our vendors in the normal course of
business.  The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable
operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing from
shareholders or other sources to meet its obligations and repay
its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they
come due," the Company stated in the Report.

receive full payment while the other bank will receive $7.9
million at closing of the deal.

PROSPECT PARK: Creditors Committee Balks at Jones Day Employment
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Chapter 11
cases of debtor Prospect Park Networks, LLC, asks the Bankruptcy
Court to adjourn sine die the Debtors' application to employ Jones
Day as special litigation counsel, or in the alternative, deny the

PFS HOLDING: Moody's Lowers Corporate Family Rating to B3
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded PFS Holding Corporation's
Corporate Family Rating ("CFR") to B3 from B2 and its Probability
of Default Rating to B3-PD from B2-PD. The downgrade reflects
higher financial leverage and a weaker liquidity profile relative
to Moody's expectations. Based on deteriorated operating
performance Moody's expects leverage to remain above 7.5 times
through 2015. Concurrently, Moody's downgraded the first lien term
loan to B3 from B2 and the second lien term loan to Caa2 from
Caa1. The rating outlook is stable.

The following ratings were downgraded:

PFS Holding Corporation:

Corporate Family Rating to B3 from B2

Probability of Default Rating to B3-PD from B2-PD

First lien term loan to B3 (LGD 3) from B2 (LGD 3)

Second lien term loan to Caa2 (LGD 5) from Caa1 (LGD 5)

The rating outlook is stable

Ratings Rationale

PFS's B3 CFR reflects the company's very high leverage, narrow
margins, weak liquidity profile and aggressive growth via
acquisitions. The company's earnings and liquidity profile are
dramatically weaker than Moody's expected due to integration
challenges faced with a recent acquisition, and loss of the right
to distribute the Royal Canin product line. Moody's expects that
earnings pressure will persist and that leverage will remain above
7.5 times through 2015. Furthermore, the company has relied more
than expected on the revolver due to weak cash flow generation.
These factors are partially offset by the company's national
distribution platform as the largest pet food and supply
distributor in the US and good customer and vendor diversity.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the
integration issues are temporary and that earnings and liquidity
will improve starting in early 2015. The stable outlook also
reflects the good growth within the pet food and supply category
and the competitive advantage PFS enjoys as the largest domestic
distributor in a fragmented industry, which should support
earnings recovery.

A downgrade could occur if operational and liquidity improvement
is not realized in the near term. Specifically, if leverage is not
below 8.0 times by year-end 2015 or if revolver availability falls
below $20 million the rating could be downgraded. Owner-friendly
transactions or large debt-funded acquisitions could also result
in a downgrade.

It is unlikely the rating will be upgraded in the near term.
However, PFS's ratings could be upgraded if the company is able to
strengthen its credit metrics such that debt to EBITDA is below
7.0 times on a sustained basis while improving its free cash flow.
Moody's will also need to be comfortable with the company's
acquisition strategy and ability to effectively integrate these
businesses.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global
Distribution & Supply Chain Services published in November 2011.
Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for
Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and
EMEA published in June 2009.

Easton, Pennsylvania-based PFS Holding Corporation (along with its
operating subsidiary Phillips Pet Food & Supplies), is a pet food
and pet supply distributor in the U.S., servicing independent pet
retail stores, online retailers and other channels such as
groomers and other specialty outlets. For the twelve months ended
June 30, 2014, the company posted pro forma revenues of
approximately $1 billion. The company was acquired by Thomas H.
Lee Partners in January 2014. Thomas H. Lee owns the majority of
the equity, with a meaningful minority stake held by management.


PHIBRO ANIMAL: Reports $3.13-Mil. Net Loss for FY Ended June 30

million of net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014,
compared with net income of $24.89 million on $653.15 million of
net sales in 2013.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2014, showed $472 million
in total assets, $457 million in total liabilities, and
stockholders' equity of $15.15 million.

A copy of the Form 10-K is available at:

PITTSBURGH CORNING: District Court Confirms Chapter 11 Plan
-----------------------------------------------------------
Pittsburgh Corning Corporation on Oct. 1 disclosed that its
Modified Third Amended Plan of Reorganization has been confirmed
by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania, effective October 1.  The confirmation affirms the
May 2013 ruling by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western
District of Pennsylvania, leading the company one step closer to
emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  Pittsburgh Corning has
operated under Chapter 11 protection since April 16, 2000.

Between 1964 and 1972, Pittsburgh Corning manufactured, marketed
and sold Unibestos, an asbestos pipe insulation product it
acquired from Union Asbestos and Rubber Company.  The company
manufactured Unibestos at its plants in Tyler, Texas and Port
Allegany, Pennsylvania.  While the Pittsburgh Corning revenues for
this product averaged less than $3 million annually, the company
was named as a defendant in asbestos-related lawsuits, defending
and resolving more than 200,000 claims.  Pittsburgh Corning sought
Chapter 11 protection in 2000, when it became apparent that
defending and settling an additional 235,000 claims would exhaust
company resources before they could be resolved.

The confirmed Plan of Reorganization establishes a trust valued in
excess of $3.5 billion to assume all asbestos-related liabilities
and resolve all asbestos personal injury claims.  The trust will
be funded by Pittsburgh Corning, its shareholders PPG Industries
Inc. and Corning Incorporated, and participating insurance
carriers.

"This confirmation by the U.S. District Court is another
significant milestone for Pittsburgh Corning Corporation, leading
us one step closer to the consummation of our Chapter 11 process,"
said James R. Kane, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Pittsburgh Corning Corporation.  "We thank our employees,
customers, suppliers, shareholders and business partners for
helping our company remain stable and competitive.  Pittsburgh
Corning has a strong foundation for continued growth, and we look
forward to completing the next steps toward emerging from
bankruptcy."

PPG Industries and Corning Incorporated are each 50-percent
shareholders of Pittsburgh Corning.

PPG is pleased with the court decision affirming the decision of
the bankruptcy court to confirm the Pittsburgh Corning plan of
reorganization.  The order of the District Court is subject to a
customary appeals process and, if that order is upheld and all
conditions are met, the plan of reorganization would become
effective.  Under the plan of reorganization, PPG and its
participating insurers are to make their initial payments to the
trust 30 business days after the plan becomes effective and all
conditions to funding have been met.

                     About Pittsburgh Corning

Pittsburgh Corning Corporation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection (Bankr. W.D. Pa. Case No. 00-22876) on April 16, 2000,
to address numerous claims alleging personal injury from exposure
to asbestos.  At the time of the bankruptcy filing, there were
about 11,800 claims pending against the Company in state court
lawsuits alleging various theories of liability based on exposure
to Pittsburgh Corning's asbestos products and typically requesting
monetary damages in excess of $1 million per claim.

Judge Thomas Agresti handles the bankruptcy case.  Reed Smith LLP
serves as counsel and Deloitte & Touche LLP as accountants to the
Debtor.

The United States Trustee appointed a Committee of Unsecured Trade
Creditors on April 28, 2000.  The Bankruptcy Court authorized the
retention of Leech, Tishman, Fuscaldo & Lampl, LLC, as counsel to
the Committee of Unsecured Trade Creditors, and Pascarella &
Wiker, LLP, as financial advisor.

The U.S. Trustee also appointed a Committee of Asbestos Creditors
on April 28, 2000.  The Bankruptcy Court authorized the retention
of these professionals by the Committee of Asbestos Creditors: (i)
Caplin & Drysdale, Chartered as Committee Counsel; (ii) Campbell &
Levine as local counsel; (iii) Anderson Kill & Olick, P.C. as
special insurance counsel; (iv) Legal Analysis Systems, Inc., as
Asbestos-Related Bodily Injury Consultant; (v) defunct firm, L.
Tersigni Consulting, P.C. as financial advisor, and (vi) Professor
Elizabeth Warren, as a consultant to Caplin & Drysdale, Chartered.

On Feb. 16, 2001, the Court approved the appointment of Lawrence
Fitzpatrick as the Future Claimants' Representative.  The
Bankruptcy Court authorized the retention of Meyer, Unkovic &
Scott LLP as his counsel, Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, as
his special counsel, and Analysis, Research and Planning
Corporation as his claims consultant.

In 2003, a plan of reorganization was agreed to by various
parties-in-interest, but, on Dec. 21, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court
issued an order denying the confirmation of that plan, citing that
the plan was too broad in addressing independent asbestos claims
that were not associated with Pittsburgh Corning.

On Jan. 29, 2009, an amended plan of reorganization (the Amended
PCC Plan) -- which addressed the issues raised by the Court when
it denied confirmation of the 2003 Plan -- was filed with the
Bankruptcy Court.

As reported by the TCR on April 25, 2012, Pittsburgh Corning,
which is a joint venture between Corning Inc. and PPG Industries
Inc., filed another amendment to its reorganization plan designed
to wrap up a Chapter 11 begun 12 years ago.

PCC's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $29.41 billion
in total assets, $7.52 billion in total liabilities and
$21.88 billion in total equity.


PLANDAI BIOTECHNOLOGY: Delays Form 10-K for Fiscal 2014
-------------------------------------------------------
Plandai Biotechnology, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25
with respect to its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 2014.

The Company said it has experienced a delay in completing the
necessary disclosures and finalizing its financial statements with
its independent public accountant in connection with its Annual
Report on Form 10-K.  As a result of this delay, the Company was
unable to file its Annual Report by the prescribed filing date
without unreasonable effort or expense.

its recent acquisition of Global Energy Solutions, Ltd., and its
subsidiaries, focuses on the farming of whole fruits, vegetables
and live plant material and the production of proprietary
functional foods and botanical extracts for the health and
wellness industry.  Its principle holdings consist of land, farms
and infrastructure in South Africa.

Plandai incurred a net loss of $2.96 million on $359,143 of
revenues for the year ended June 30, 2013, as compared with a net
loss of $3.83 million on $74,452 of revenues during the prior
fiscal year.  The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2014,
showed $9.77 million in total assets, $13.20 million in total
liabilities, $1.29 million in noncontrolling interest and a $2.14
million total stockholders' deficit.

As reported by the TCR on Feb. 4, 2014, Terry L. Johnson, CPA,
replaced Patrick Rodgers, CPA, P.A., as the Company's independent
accountant.

Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA, in Altamonte Springs, Florida, issued a
"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 2013.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has incurred losses since
inception, has a negative working capital balance at June 30,
2013, and has a retained deficit, which raises substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.

PULSE ELECTRONICS: Voluntarily Delists Common Shares From NYSE
--------------------------------------------------------------
Pulse Electronics Corporation said it has submitted written notice
to the New York Stock Exchange of its decision to voluntarily
delist its common stock from the NYSE and to deregister its common
stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

After careful consideration, Pulse Electronics' board of directors
decided to delist from the NYSE and deregister its common stock
with the Securities and Exchange Commission as it believes that
the savings that will benefit the company and its shareholders
outweigh the advantages of continuing as a NYSE listed and SEC
reporting company.  Without the annual accounting and legal costs
and administrative burdens associated with SEC reporting
obligations and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Pulse
Electronics believes it will be able to reduce its costs while
still maintaining appropriate financial controls.  Pulse
Electronics further believes that these changes will provide for
greater operational efficiencies that will allow the company to
better focus on its business.

The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the SEC to voluntarily
delist its common stock on or about Oct. 6, 2014.  Delisting from
the NYSE is expected to become effective 10 days after the filing
date of the Form 25.  Following delisting and provided that Pulse
Electronics continues to meet the applicable legal requirements,
it intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC on or about Oct. 16,
2014, to terminate the registration of its common stock under the
Exchange Act.  Pulse Electronics expects the termination of
registration under the Exchange Act will become effective 90 days
after the date of the filing of the Form 15 with the SEC.  In the
event the NYSE or the SEC delays or denies the company's delisting
or deregistration, following the effective date of delisting, or
the withdrawal of registration under Section 12(b) is delayed by
the SEC, the company will file, within 60 days of such delay or
denial, any reports and forms with the SEC that would have been
required.

After its shares have been delisted from the NYSE, Pulse
Electronics expects that its shares may be quoted on the OTC
Markets Inc. electronic quotation service if market makers commit
to make a market in the Company's shares.  The OTC Markets is an
electronic network through which participating broker-dealers can
make markets and enter orders to buy and sell shares of issuers.
However, Pulse Electronics can provide no assurance that trading
in its common stock will continue on the OTC Markets or otherwise.
Moreover, Pulse Electronics common stock may become more illiquid
once it is no longer traded on the NYSE, which could negatively
impact market prices for the Company's stock and make it more
difficult for shareholders to sell their shares.  For more

Ratings Rationale

The change in outlook to positive from stable is based on Moody's
view that Regions has continued to improve its asset quality and
that management is developing better discipline in avoiding asset
concentrations, which in the financial crisis weakened the
company's financial profile materially. Moody's said that Regions'
capital position has also continued to strengthen.

Regions has achieved a significant reduction in nonperforming
assets (NPAs, nonaccrual loans, OREOs, loans past due 90+ days,
and accruing TDRs). Its NPAs have declined 51% from $5.5 billion
in third quarter 2012 to $2.7 billion in second quarter 2014.
Relative to loans and OREO, its NPA ratio improved from 7.2% to
3.3% over the same period. Although the bank's NPAs remain
relatively elevated, it is not an outlier among its same-rated
peers.

Moreover, Regions' higher capital base, coupled with lower
commercial real estate (CRE) and home equity (HE) loan balances,
have reduced the bank's asset concentrations. Its tangible common
equity (TCE) rose 23% while its combined exposure to CRE and HE
declined 18% from Q3 2012 to Q2 2014. Consequently, its total
concentration to these assets declined from 2.2 times TCE to 1.5
times TCE, which is relatively low among major US regional banks.

A revamped management team has overseen these improvements and
implemented more sensitive concentration risk limits. However,
Moody's noted that Regions' concentration risk management will be
tested because of earnings pressures that have made it difficult
for the company to generate a return on equity greater than its
cost of equity. For example, in an effort to support earnings,
Regions' has grown its commercial and industrial (C&I) loans at an
above average rate relative to the economy and other US banks in
the first six months of 2014. This C&I loan growth has been
significantly driven by Regions' participation in the national
syndicated loan markets, where it takes participations in other
banks' transactions. These loans typically provide little
franchise enhancement for participants like Regions, and can be a
source of higher risk. With that said, Moody's noted that Regions'
C&I loan asset quality performed relatively well in the financial
crisis.

Having actively managed down troubled asset portfolios and
historic risk concentrations, Regions' management has turned its
attention to growth and providing shareholders with adequate
returns. If Regions' risk management maintains discipline in
avoiding asset or risk concentrations, the bank's ratings could be
upgraded. Key indicators in this regard include concentration data
as well as loan growth relative to Regions' market opportunity.
Conversely, the most likely source of negative rating pressure
would be a rising concern that risk management is not effective in
containing a rebuilding of asset concentrations and that
underwriting standards have deteriorated in the pursuit of
earnings growth. A significant increase in the bank's return of
capital to shareholders would also be viewed negatively, said
Moody's.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global Banks
published in July 2014.


REICHHOLD INC: Seeks Joint Administration of Ch. 11 Cases
---------------------------------------------------------
Reichhold, Inc., and its affiliated debtors ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to enter an order
authorizing the joint administration of their Chapter 11 cases for
procedural purposes only.   Proposed counsel, Marion M. Quirk,
Esq., at Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard, P.A., explains
that with four debtors, each with its own docket, the failure to
jointly administer these cases would result in numerous
duplicative filings for each issue, which would then be served
upon separate service lists.  The Debtors want the cases jointly
administered under the caption In re Reichhold Holdings US, Inc.,
et al., Case No. 14-12237.

                        About Reichhold

Founded in 1927, Reichhold, with its world headquarters and
technology center in Durham, North Carolina, USA, is one of the
world's largest manufacturer of unsaturated polyester resins and a
leading supplier of coating resins for the industrial,
transportation, building and construction, marine, consumer and
graphic arts markets.  Reichhold -- http://www.Reichhold.com/--
has manufacturing operations throughout North America, Latin
America, the Middle East, Europe and Asia.

As of June 30, 2014, the Reichhold companies had consolidated
assets of $538 million and liabilities of $631 million.  In 2013,
the companies generated $1.08 billion in net revenue, and as of
the year-to-date August 2014, $750 million in net revenues.

Reichhold Holdings US, Inc., Reichhold, Inc., and two U.S.
affiliates sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case
No. 14-12237) on Sept. 30, 2014.

The Reichhold Companies are pursuing a sale transaction that has
two elements:

   (i) a consensual foreclosure by the holders of senior secured
notes on their security interests in the common and preferred
stock in Reichhold Holdings Luxembourg, S.a.r.l. ("RHL"), the
ultimate holding company of all of the non-debtor affiliates that
operate outside the U.S., and

  (ii) a purchase of certain assets of the Debtors by Reichhold
Holdings International B.V. through a credit bid pursuant to
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

REICHHOLD INC: Proposes to Pay $2.2MM to Critical Vendors
---------------------------------------------------------
Reichhold, Inc., and its affiliated debtors seek approval to pay,
in the ordinary course of business, the prepetition fixed,
liquidated and undisputed claims of certain critical vendors and
service providers.

The Debtors are concerned that certain critical vendors will
refuse to deliver goods and services without payment of their
prepetition claims.

The Debtors propose to limit the aggregate amount of payments to
be made on account of critical vendor claims to $2.2 million.  The
Debtors will seek the consent of the agent of the DIP financing to
make payments of any critical vendors in excess of $75,000.

The Debtors will condition the payment of critical vendor claims
on the agreement of individual critical vendors to continue
supplying goods and services to the Debtors on the same trade
terms that, or better trade terms than, such critical vendors
offered the Debtors immediately prior to the Petition Date.

RIVER CITY RENAISSANCE: Thailhimer to Sell 29 Richmond Properties
-----------------------------------------------------------------
River City Renaissance, LC, and River City Renaissance III, LC1,
ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia
for permission to employ Morton G. Thalhimer, Inc., as their
broker for real property assets, which comprised of 29 residential
apartment buildings located in the City of Richmond, Virginia.

The Debtors say they want to hire the firm to pursue an orderly
liquidation of their properties in lieu of foreclosure sale is the
core purpose of their Chapter 11 cases.  The Debtors note they
require the assistance of a broker with substantial experience in
the marketing and sale of residential apartment buildings similar
to the properties in order to ensure that the bankruptcy estates
obtain the maximum value for the properties.

The firm is expected to:

  a) implement a marketing campaign designed to generate maximums
     interest in the properties that include, without limitation,
     using the firm's proprietary multifamily database to identify
     and contact potential buyers, establishing a high-quality
     website to provide sale-process information and due-diligence
     materials to potential buyers, and providing, negotiating
     with potential buyers, and provide tours of the properties to
     potential buyer; and

  b) assist the Debtors in structuring the sale process, negotiate
     with potential buyers, and select the buyer(s) who provide
     the best combination of price terms track record and ability
     to close.

The Debtors proposed to pay the firm in this manner:

  a) As to the "River City Court" property located at 3501 Stuart
     Avenue and 306 N. Nansemond St., the Broker's commission will
     be 1.5% of the sale price;

  b) As to the properties, the firm's commission will:

     -- 1.5% of any sale contract in excess of $10 million; and
     -- 2% on any sale contract for less than $10 million.

  c) If the holder's liens of each of the Debtors' properties will
     not be paid in full from the sale of those properties, then
     the commission relating to the sales of all properties will
     be limited to the greater of (i) a flat-fee of $100,000, and
     (ii) the firm's normal commission less the shortfall in the
     amount needed to pay off the holder's liens;

  d) If the holder's liens of River City Renaissance's properties
     will not be paid in full from the sale of those properties,
     then the commission relating to the sales of all properties
     will be limited to the greater of (i) a flat-fee of $80,000,
     and (ii) the firm's normal commission less the shortfall in
     the amount needed to pay off the holder's liens; and

  e) If the holder's liens of River City Renaissance III's
     properties will not be paid in full from the sale of those
     properties, then the commission relating to the sales of all
     properties will be limited to the greater of (i) a flat-fee
     of $20,000, and (ii) firm''s normal commission less the
     shortfall in the amount needed to pay off the holder's liens.

The Debtors assure the Court that the firm is a "disinterested
person" within the meaning of Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy
Code.

                       U.S. Bank Objection

U.S. Bank National Association -- as trustee for holders, by and
through CWCapital Asset Management LLC as special servicer --
objected to the Debtors' employment request because the
application purports to grant to the Broker certain rights that
cannot be granted absent the consent of the holders.  In
particular, the Debtors purport to grant to the firm a guaranteed
payment even if the sale process does not yield sale proceeds
sufficient to satisfy the claims of the holders.

The bank pointed out that the application provides that, in the
event the holders' liens are not satisfied in full from the sale
of the Debtors' properties, the firm will still receive the
greater of (a) a flat-fee of $100,000, and (b) the firm's normal
commission less the shortfall in the amount needed to pay off the
holders liens.

According to the bank, in such an instance, the Debtors will have
no unencumbered assets from which to pay such amounts and will
have to pay the firm from the holders' collateral, which includes
a first priority secured lien on all of the properties --
including all of the related cash collateral, as such term is
defined in section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The bank argued that the Debtor's application should not be
approved to the extent it purports to grant a carve-out of the
holders' collateral.

SABRA HEALTH CARE: S&P Affirms 'B+' CCR; Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B+' corporate
credit rating on Sabra Health Care REIT Inc.  The outlook is
stable.  At the same time, S&P affirmed its 'BB-' rating on the
senior unsecured notes issued by Sabra's wholly owned
subsidiaries, Sabra Health Care L.P. and Sabra Capital Corp.  The
company plans to add-on $150 million to this note issuance.  S&P's
recovery rating on this debt remains '2', indicating its
expectation for a substantial (70% to 90%) recovery in the event
of payment default.

"Our 'B+' corporate credit rating on Sabra reflects our view that
the company's financial risk profile is 'significant' and business
risk profile is 'weak' according to our criteria," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Michael Souers.  S&P's business risk
assessment reflects Sabra's smaller size ($1.2 billion total
market capitalization), concentrated tenant base (top two tenants
contribute nearly 57% of revenues, pro forma for the Holiday
acquisition), and improving but continued heavy reliance on
skilled nursing/post-acute facilities (SNFs), which are subject to
potentially volatile government reimbursement programs and
contribute approximately 56% of Sabra's revenue.  S&P notes that
this asset concentration remains dependent on potentially volatile
government reimbursement programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
In late July, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
finalized their 2015 payment and policy changes, with skilled
nursing facilities set to receive a $750 million (2.0%) increase
in Medicare payments.

S&P's assessment also incorporates its view of the REIT industry's
"low" risk and "very low" country risk.  Although ongoing
government efforts to contain health care spending represents an
ongoing risk, S&P believes that triple-net leases (that are
subject to parent guarantees and cross-default provisions) and a
long weighted average lease term (10.3 years) will continue to
support Sabra's near-term core cash flow stability.

The Holiday transaction is structured as a sale/leaseback
transaction, with Sabra leasing the properties back to an
affiliate of Holiday.

Following the Holiday portfolio acquisition, S&P expects Sabra to
continue aggressively expanding its portfolio at roughly 10% of
assets per year, with a primary investment focus on senior housing
and memory care facilities and a secondary focus on skilled
nursing facilities.  S&P believes the expansion will gradually
strengthen Sabra's business risk profile by diversifying its
tenant base and increasing exposure to private-pay sources (now
above 50% pro forma for the Holiday acquisition).

S&P views Sabra's financial risk profile to be "significant".  S&P
bases this on its forecast for debt-to-undepreciated capital
(including preferred stock) in the high-50% range and fixed-charge
coverage (FCC) in the low- to mid-2x range.

Despite this improvement, S&P believes Sabra's relatively small
capital structure, aggressive portfolio expansion, and expected
heavy reliance on its revolving credit facility to fund
investments will continue to lead to moderate variability in
credit metrics over the next two years.  S&P also believes that
Sabra's portfolio expansion could push leverage higher, resulting
in weaker credit metrics than S&P assumes in its base case and
thereby constraining its rating outcome.

The outlook is stable.  S&P expects relatively steady tenant-level
rent coverage and negligible lease expirations to support Sabra's
near-term core cash flow and credit metrics.  S&P also believes
that profitable, leverage-neutral investments will continue to
gradually strengthen Sabra's scale and portfolio diversification.

S&P sees limited downside for the ratings at this time, given its
expectation for steady core cash flow and relatively static credit
metrics.  However, S&P could consider lowering the ratings if
leverage rises above its current level, pressuring FCC below 1.8x.
This could be a result of debt-financed expansion or the
restructuring of leases for tenants that can't mitigate rising
expenses or potential reimbursement cuts.

Upward ratings momentum remains constrained by Sabra's relatively
small capital structure and still-significant portfolio
concentration.  However, S&P would consider raising the ratings by
one notch if Sabra establishes and maintains a more balanced
investment and funding strategy (which would prompt S&P to
reconsider its current use of the negative financial policy
modifier) that results in more stable and predictable credit
metrics, while continuing to gradually strengthen its scale and
portfolio diversification.


SEARS HOLDINGS: To Sell Most of Stake in Canada Unit
----------------------------------------------------
Suzanne Kapner, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that
Sears Holdings Corp. said it plans to reap as much as $380 million
by selling the bulk of the 51% stake it holds in Sears Canada to
its own shareholders.  Of that amount, $168 million is expected to
come from CEO Edward Lampert and his hedge fund, ESL Investments
Inc., following a $400 million short-term loan the CEO infused to
the company in September.

                            About Sears

Sears Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: SHLD) --
http://www.searsholdings.com/-- is an integrated retailer focused
on seamlessly connecting the digital and physical shopping
experiences to serve members.  Sears Holdings is home to Shop Your
Waytm, a social shopping platform offering members rewards for
shopping at Sears and Kmart as well as with other retail partners
across categories important to them.

The company operates through its subsidiaries, including Sears,
Roebuck and Co. and Kmart Corporation, with more than 2,000 full-
line and specialty retail stores in the United States and Canada.

Kmart Corporation and 37 of its U.S. subsidiaries filed voluntary
Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. N.D. Ill. Lead Case No. 02-02474) on
Jan. 22, 2002.  Kmart emerged from chapter 11 protection on May 6,
2003, pursuant to the terms of an Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization.  Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, LLP,
represented Kmart in its restructuring efforts.  Its balance sheet
showed $16,287,000,000 in assets and $10,348,000,000 in debts when
it sought chapter 11 protection.

Kmart bought Sears, Roebuck & Co., for $11 billion to create the
third-largest U.S. retailer, behind Wal-Mart and Target, and
generate $55 billion in annual revenues.  Kmart completed its
merger with Sears on March 24, 2005.

Sears Holdings reported a net loss of $1.36 billion in 2013, a net
loss of $930 million in 2012 and a net loss of $3.14 billion in
2011.  As of Aug. 2, 2014, Sears Holdings had $16.43 billion in
total assets, $15.51 billion in total liabilities and $919 million
in total equity.

                            *     *     *

Moody's Investors Service in January 2014 downgraded Sears
Holdings Corporate Family Rating to Caa1 from B3.  The rating
outlook is stable.

The downgrade reflects the accelerating negative performance of
Sears' domestic business with comparable sales falling 7.4% for
the quarter to date ending January 6th, 2014 compared to the prior
year.  The company now expects domestic Adjusted EBITDA to decline
to a range of ($80 million) to $20 million for the fourth fiscal
quarter, compared with $365 million in the year prior period. For
the full year, Sears expects domestic Adjusted EBITDA loss between
$(308) million and $(408) million, as compared to $557 million
last year. Moody's expects full year cash burn (after capital
spending, interest and pension funding) to be around $1.2 billion
in 2013 and we expect Sears' cash burn to remain well above $1
billion in 2014. "Operating performance for fiscal 2013 is
meaningfully weaker than our previous expectations, and we expect
negative trends in performance to persist into 2014" said Moody's
Vice President Scott Tuhy.  He added "While Sears noted improved
engagement metrics for its "Shop Your Way" Rewards program,
Moody's remains uncertain when these improved engagement metrics
will lead to stabilization of operating performance."

As reported by the TCR on March 26, 2014, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services affirmed its ratings on the Hoffman Estate, Ill.-
based Sears Holdings Corp., including the 'CCC+' corporate credit
rating.

Fitch Ratings had downgraded its long-term Issuer Default Ratings
(IDR) on Sears Holdings Corporation (Holdings) and its various
subsidiary entities (collectively, Sears) to 'CC' from 'CCC',
according to a TCR report dated Sept. 12, 2014.


SEVEN ARTS: Delays Fiscal 2014 10-K for Review
----------------------------------------------
Seven Arts Entertainment Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25
with respect to its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 2014.  Seven Arts said it was unable to timely file the
Annual Report due to a delay in completing the financial
statements required to be included therein, and the audit
procedures related thereto, which delay could not be eliminated by
the Company without unreasonable effort and expense.

In accordance with Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, the Company said it will file the Form 10-K for the year
ended June 30, 2014, no later than the 15th calendar date
following the proscribed due date.

TENET HEALTHCARE: Issues $500 Million of Senior Notes Due 2019
--------------------------------------------------------------
Tenet Healthcare Corporation issued $500,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of 5.50% senior notes due 2019, according to a
regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.  The Notes have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws.

Tenet will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually, in arrears, on
March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing March 1, 2015, to
holders of record on the immediately preceding February 15 and
August 15.  The Notes are unsecured and will rank equally with all
of Tenet's existing and future unsecured senior debt, will rank
senior to all of Tenet's existing and future unsecured
subordinated debt and will be effectively subordinated to all of
Tenet's existing and future secured debt, to the extent of the
value of the collateral securing such secured indebtedness.

The Notes were issued pursuant to the indenture, dated as of
Nov. 6, 2001, between Tenet and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust
Company, N.A., as supplemented by the twenty-fourth supplemental
indenture thereto, dated as of Sept. 29, 2014, between Tenet and
the Trustee.  The Indenture contains covenants that, among other
things, restrict Tenet's ability and the ability of its
subsidiaries: to incur liens; enter into sale and lease-back
transactions; or consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially
all of their assets, other than in certain transactions between
one or more of Tenet's wholly owned subsidiaries and Tenet.  These
restrictions, however, are subject to a number of important
exceptions and qualifications.  In particular, there are no
restrictions on Tenet's ability or the ability of its subsidiaries
to incur additional indebtedness, make restricted payments, pay
dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock,
purchase or redeem capital stock, enter into transactions with
affiliates or make advances to, or invest in, other entities
(including unaffiliated entities).

The Indenture also provides that the Notes may become subject to
redemption under certain circumstances, including a change of
control of Tenet.  In addition, Tenet may, at its option, redeem
the Notes in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed
plus the applicable make-whole premium set forth in the Indenture,
together with accrued and unpaid interest.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, Tenet also entered
into an Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of
Sept. 29, 2014, with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated, as representative of the initial purchasers named in
the purchase agreement for the Notes.  Pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, Tenet has agreed to consummate an
exchange offer for the Notes for notes registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission within 365 days from Sept. 29,
2014.

The proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be used for general
corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness and
drawings under Tenet's senior secured revolving credit facility,
related transaction fees and expenses, and acquisitions.

TOWER AUTOMOTIVE: Moody's Withdraws B2 Rating on $250MM Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service withdrew the B2 rating on Tower
Automotive Holdings USA, LLC's (Holdings USA) proposed $250
million of senior unsecured notes. Holdings USA is a wholly-owned
indirect subsidiary of Tower International, Inc. (Tower). Tower
previously announced the postponement of the note offering due to
less-favorable market conditions. In a related action, Moody's
affirmed Holdings USA's Corporate Family Rating and Probability of
Default Rating, at B1 and B1-PD, respectively; and revised the
rating on Holdings USA's existing senior secured term loan to B1
from Ba3 -- the same level prior to the proposed note offering.
The Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating is affirmed at SGL-3. The
rating outlook is stable.

The following ratings were withdrawn:

Tower Automotive Holdings USA, LLC

$250 million of senior unsecured notes, previously B2 (LGD5)

The following rating was lowered:

Tower Automotive Holdings USA, LLC

Senior secured term loan, to B1 (LGD3) from Ba3 (LGD3)

The following ratings were affirmed:

Tower Automotive Holdings USA, LLC

Corporate Family Rating, at B1

Probability of Default Rating, at B1-PD

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, at SGL-3

The $200 million ABL revolving credit facility is not rated by
Moody's

Ratings Rationale

Moody's lowered the secured term loan rating to B1 from Ba3 to
reflect the absence of the unsecured notes in the capital
structure. The term loan will not benefit from a paydown funded
from the note proceeds and the loss absorption cushion that would
have been provided by the unsecured notes.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global
Automotive Supplier Industry published in May 2013. Other
methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-
Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA
published in June 2009.

Tower International, Inc. headquartered in Livonia, Michigan, is a
leading integrated global manufacturer of engineered structural
metal components and assemblies primarily serving automotive
original equipment manufacturers. The company manufactures body-
structure stampings, frame and other chassis structures, as well
as complex welded assemblies, for small and large cars,
crossovers, pickups and SUVs. Revenues in 2013 approximated $2.1
billion.

the thirteen weeks ended Aug. 3, 2013.

The Company's balance sheet at Aug. 2, 2014, showed $516.17
million in total assets, $756.23 million in total liabilities and

TRADER CORP: Moody's Affirms B3 Corporate Family Rating
-------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Trader Corporation's B3
corporate family rating ("CFR"), B3-PD probability of default
rating, Ba3 secured revolver rating, B3 secured notes rating and
SGL-3 speculative grade liquidity rating, and changed the ratings
outlook to positive from stable.

"The outlook change to positive considers Trader's demonstrated
deleveraging and the potential that the ratings could be upgraded
within the next 12 to 18 months if leverage is sustained below
5x," said Peter Adu, lead analyst for Trader.

Ratings Affirmed:

Corporate Family Rating, B3

Probability of Default Rating, B3-PD

$30M Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Ba3

US$290M Senior Secured Notes, B3

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, SGL-3

Outlook:

Changed to Positive from Stable

Ratings Rationale

Trader's B3 CFR primarily reflects its small size and narrow-
focused operation, successful transition to digital from print,
strong position in the Canadian used automobile advertising market
and demonstrated ability to de-lever, offset by Moody's opinion
that its private equity owner is likely to re-lever the company.
The rating also reflects business risks with the digital platform,
including limited forward visibility to growth potential in Canada
due to soft economic conditions and rising competition. As well,
the rating considers the company's well recognized brand in
Canada, good subscription-based recurring revenue, strong EBITDA
margins, and Moody's expectation that leverage would be maintained
towards 5x through the next 12 to 18 months (adjusted Debt/EBITDA
of 5.7x at LTM Q2/2014).

Trader's liquidity is adequate (SGL-3). At Q2/2014, Trader had
cash of $16 million and an undrawn $30 million committed revolving
credit facility due 2016. Moody's expects annual free cash flow in
excess of $15 million. Trader is subject to leverage and interest
coverage covenants and Moody's expects cushion of at least 15%
through the next 4 to 6 quarters. The company's ability to
generate liquidity from asset sale proceeds is limited as its
assets secured the revolver and the notes.

The ratings outlook is positive and recognizes Trader's increasing
revenue and profitability which could enable leverage to be
maintained at a level that supports a higher rating within the
next 12 to 18 months. Moody's will return the outlook to stable if
Trader increases leverage towards 6x, possibly due to a debt-
funded dividend payment to its owner.

Upward rating action could be considered should Trader sustain
adjusted Debt/ EBITDA below 5x and (EBITDA-CapEx)/Interest Expense
above 2x. Trader's rating would be downgraded should its liquidity
position deteriorate or if it sustains adjusted Debt/ EBITDA
towards 7x and (EBITDA-CapEx)/Interest Expense below 1x.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Publishing Industry published in December 2011. Other
methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-
Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA
published in June 2009.

Trader Corporation is a provider of advertising and digital
marketing services for Canadian automotive dealers. Revenue for
the last twelve months ended June 28, 2014 was $170 million. The
company is wholly-owned by Apax Partners and is headquartered in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada.


TRAVELPORT WORLDWIDE: Closes 30 Million Shares IPO
--------------------------------------------------
Travelport Worldwide Limited completed on Sept. 30, 2014, its
initial public offering the of 30,000,000 of its common shares,
par value $0.0025, pursuant to the registration statement on Form
S-1, as amended, which was declared effective by the U.S.

The Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Morgan

The Company used $425 million of the proceeds from the IPO to
repay in full the outstanding indebtedness under its subsidiary's
senior unsecured bridge loan agreement on Sept. 30, 2014.

On Sept. 24, 2014, as a result of the IPO, the Compensation

management, including the Company's named executive officers:
Gordon Wilson ($529,126); Philip Emery ($211,681); Kurt Ekert
($293,414); and Eric Bock ($217,156).  Also on Sept. 24, 2014, as
a result of the IPO, the Compensation Committee of the Company's
Board approved the conversion of the performance-based options
held by Douglas Steenland, the Chairman of the Board, to time-
based options upon the determination that the performance criteria
were satisfied, with 50% vesting on April 15, 2015, and the
remainder vesting on April 15, 2016.  In addition, the
Compensation Committee of the Company's Board approved the form of
award agreement for the restricted stock unit grants to be made to
the Company's directors, as disclosed in the Registration
Statement.

On Sept. 30, 2014, the Company amended and restated its By-laws
and Memorandum of Association.

statement to register 14.1 million common shares issuable under

offering price is $231.1 million.  A copy of the registration

Travelport Finance (Luxembourg) S.a.r.l. (Travelport Finance).
The outlook is stable.


TRIMAS CORP: Moody's Affirms Ba2 CFR Over Allfast Acquisition
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed its Ba2 Corporate Family Rating
(CFR) and Ba2-PD Probability of Default rating (PDR) for Trimas
following the company's recent announcement that it intends to
acquire Allfast Fastening Systems, a manufacturer of solid and
blind rivets, blind bolts and temporary fasteners for the
aerospace industry. Ratings on the company's Senior Secured credit
facility were also affirmed at Ba2. The rating outlook remains
stable.

The affirmation of Trimas's ratings reflects the company's solid
positioning within the Ba2 rating category and expectations that
higher leverage levels resulting from the acquisition will
moderate over the near to intermediate term. The $360 million
estimated purchase price of Allfast will be financed entirely by
debt which Moody's estimate will increase debt to EBITDA by over 1
turn from about 2.5x to 3.7x. Moody's expect leverage to revert
back towards 2.5x over the next 12-15 months driven by a
combination of earnings growth and the pay-down of debt under
Trimas's senior credit facilities. The affirmation also
incorporates the company's solid coverage metrics with pro forma
EBIT/Interest of about 5.5x and expectations that pro forma free
cash flows as a % of debt will remain in the high-single digits.

The acquisition of Allfast should bolster the company's aerospace
segment and meaningfully expand its product portfolio while better
positioning Trimas as a preferred supplier to its aerospace
customers. Allfast has content on a diverse set of platforms and
its robust EBITDA margins of approximately 40% should be accretive
to the company' earnings. Moody's note the fully-priced nature of
the transaction (an estimated purchase multiple of about 15x
times) reflects the expected ramp-up in deliveries in commercial
aircraft and anticipated revenue and cost synergies.

Issuers:

Trimas Corporation & Trimas Company LLC

Affirmations:

Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed at Ba2

Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed at Ba2-PD

Senior Secured Revolver due 2018, Affirmed Ba2 (LGD3)

Upsized Senior Secured Term Loan A due 2018, Affirmed Ba2 (LGD3)

Speculative Grade Liquidity, affirmed at SGL-2

Rating Outlook: Stable

Ratings Rationale

Trimas' ratings continue to reflect the company's generally solid
credit metrics coupled with a healthy degree of product and end-
market diversification and expectations of gradual improvement in
operating margins and leverage metrics. The ratings are
constrained by the cyclicality of the company's operating
performance as demonstrated by the sharp decline in revenues and
profitability during the 2009 economic downturn, as well as its
limited geographic diversification and an aggressive acquisition
strategy.

Rating Outlook

The rating outlook is stable, reflecting Moody's expectation that
management will focus on reverting leverage back to 2.5x or below
over the next 12 to 18 months. The stable outlook also
incorporates expectations for a gradual improvement in operating
margins and an absence of large debt-financed acquisitions in the
next few quarters.

What Could Change the Rating -- UP

To be considered for a higher rating or positive outlook, the
company should demonstrate sustained organic revenue growth,
meaningful improvements in margins, sustainable debt to EBITDA
below 2.0 times, and EBITA to interest coverage over 6.0 times,
also on a sustainable basis. Moreover, the company's size and
business scale in its product segments along with improved segment
diversity that was anticipated to result in lower cyclicality
could help support positive ratings traction. The composition of
the company's capital structure and its covenants allow for
material acquisitions that could adversely affect its credit
metrics over the short term or longer depending on their
execution. As a result, a capital structure more consistent with a
higher rating would also be considered in a ratings upgrade.

What Could Change the Rating -- DOWN

The rating could be downgraded if the company's debt to EBITDA
were remain above 3.25x on a sustained basis or if free cash flow
generation were to weaken such that free cash flow as a % of debt
was anticipated to remain below 7.5%. The ratings could also come
under pressure if one of more business segments were to experience
a meaningful decline in earnings or if further debt-financed
acquisitions or shareholder friendly actions resulted in weaker
credit metrics that were inconsistent with the Ba2 rating
category.

TriMas Corporation is a diversified industrial manufacturer
engaged in five business segments: packaging, energy, aerospace,
engineered components and Cequent, a segment that manufactures
custom-engineered towing and trailering products. Revenues for the
twelve months ended June 30, 2014 were approximately $1.5 billion.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global
Manufacturing Companies published in July 2014. Other
methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-
Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA
published in June 2009.


TRIPLANET PARTNERS: Oct. 8 hearing on USA's Bid for Case Dismissal
------------------------------------------------------------------
The United States of America asks the Bankruptcy Court to dismiss
the Chapter 11 case of Triplanet Partners LLC, or, in the
alternative, convert the case to one under Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

The USA motion accompanies the Internal Revenue Service's motion
to dismiss the Debtor's case.

The IRS explained that it has no way of accurately assessing the
Debtor's tax liabilities because the Debtor failed to file its
quarterly tax return in 2008 and has not filed partnership tax
forms for the last five years.

The hearing on the matter will be held on Oct. 8, 2014.

payments.  In addition, under the Plan, the First Lien Lenders
would invest $100 million in equity capital provided that the
Debtors obtain real-property tax and other relief from the City of
Atlantic City, Atlantic County, New Jersey and/or the State of New
Jersey.

Upon confirmation of the Plan, the holders of Allowed First Lien
Credit Agreement Claims in the aggregate the following
consideration: (x) 55% of the New Common Stock to be issued by
Reorganized TER on a fully diluted basis and (y) the New Term
Loan.  Holders of Allowed First Lien Credit Agreement Claims will
have the right to allocate among each other the portion of New
Common Stock and New Term Loan each holder will receive, and the
Disbursing Agent will make distributions on account of Allowed
First Lien Credit Agreement Claims based on such allocations.

U.S. SILICA: Moody's Raises Corporate Family Rating to Ba3
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded U.S. Silica Company, Inc.'s
Corporate Family Rating to Ba3 from B1, as well as upgraded its
senior secured credit facility to Ba3 from B1, and its Probability
of Default Rating to B1-PD from B2-PD. The Speculative Grade
Liquidity rating was affirmed at SGL-2. The rating outlook is
stable.

The following actions were taken:

Corporate Family Rating, upgraded to Ba3 from B1;

$425 million senior secured credit facility, upgraded to Ba3
(LGD-3) from B1 (LGD-3);

Probability of Default Rating, upgraded to B1-PD from B2-PD;

Speculative Grade Liquidity rating, affirmed at SGL-2.

The rating outlook was revised to stable from positive.

Ratings Rationale

The upgrade in U.S. Silica's ratings is based on the company's
significantly stronger operating performance, substantial
improvements in debt leverage and interest coverage, reduced
ownership position of a major shareholder and Moody's expectation
that continued stability in the hydraulic fracturing (fracking)
industry will continue to support strong operating cash flow
generation. U.S. Silica has more than doubled its revenues over
the past three years due to rising demand for frac sand along with
the pursuit of strategic growth initiatives and acquisitions and
has maintained strong EBITDA margins. The company is among the top
five suppliers (by nameplate capacity) of frac sand in the United
States. Strong operating performance has enabled the company to
generate enough cash to pursue strategic growth initiatives, pay
shareholder dividends and still reduce its leverage ratios while
raising its interest coverage ratio. Silica's debt-to-book
capitalization declined to 54% for the twelve months ending June
30, 2014 from 57% at year-end 2013 while adjusted debt-to-EBITDA
declined to 2.7x from 3.0x and its adjusted EBIT interest coverage
ratio rose to 5.9x from 5.3x over the same time periods. In
addition, the company's private equity ownership by Golden Gate
Capital was eliminated in December 2013 when Golden Gate sold its
remaining shares. Moody's view this as a credit positive since it
is likely to reduce the incentive to pursue shareholder friendly
actions.

U.S. Silica's Ba3 Corporate Family Rating reflects the company's
operating results, modest debt leverage, strong interest coverage,
high profit margins and solid market position in the growing frac-
sand industry. The company's credit profile also benefits from its
position as one of the largest producers of industrial silica in
the United States, its extensive proven and probable reserves,
strategically located quarries and production facilities,
developed logistical network and long-standing customer
relationships. At the same time, the company's rating is
constrained by its limited size, reliance on a single commodity
product, exposure to cyclical end markets and reliance on the
hydraulic fracturing industry for the majority of its revenue and
operating income. The B1-PD probability of default rating is one
notch lower than the Corporate Family Rating to reflect the higher
(65%) recovery rate utilized in Moody's loss-given-default
methodology for companies that rely primarily on first-lien bank
loans. Historical recovery studies indicate that corporate capital
structures comprised solely of bank debt have higher recovery
values than those that utilize a combination of bank debt and
other debt instruments.

U.S. Silica's SGL-2 reflects the company's good liquidity position
over the next 12 to 18 months. At June 30, 2014, the company's
liquidity was supported by $106 million of cash and availability
of approximately $47 million under its senior secured revolving
credit facility. The company has generated negative free cash flow
over the past several years due to shareholder dividends and
capital investments in raw sand plants, resin coated product
facilities and transloading terminals. Moody's expect Silica to
continue to pursue growth initiatives and to pay a quarterly
dividend. In order to meet increasing demand, the company is
investing in expanding capacity at its Pacific, Missouri plant as
well as investing in a new greenfield facility.

The stable outlook reflects US Silica's operating performance and
that the positive fundamentals in the hydraulic fracturing
(fracking) industry will support strong operating cash flow
generation. The stable outlook also assumes US Silica will operate
with stable capital structure and credit metrics even as it
pursues its growth strategies.

Moody's notes that stronger liquidity would be a prerequisite for
an upgrade, with substantially stronger internal cash cusion and
external long-term, committed and unconditional credit
availability. The ratings could experience upward momentum if the
company continues to build greater scale and diversity and
consistently generates positive free cash flow, while reducing and
maintaining its adjusted debt-to-book capitalization below 50% and
adjusted debt-to-EBITDA closer to 2.0x.

The ratings would be considered for a downgrade should end markets
subtantially deteriorate, specifically the oil and gas end market.
A downgrade could also occur should operating results deteriorate
such that adjusted debt-to-EBITDA rises above 3.5x; the company
more aggressively pursues growth or shareholder friendly
initiatives, or liquidity is significantly reduced.

Based in Frederick, Maryland, U.S. Silica operates 17 silica
mining and processing facilities and is one of the largest
producers of industrial silica sand in North America. The company
holds approximately 297 million metric tons of reserves, including
138 million tons of API spec frac sand and mostly serves the oil &
gas, glass, building products and chemicals sectors. In the twelve
months ended June 30, 2014, the company generated approximately
$680 million of revenues.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Building
Materials Industry published in September 2014. Other
methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-
Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA
published in June 2009.

VERTIS HOLDINGS: Quad Wins Injunction vs. Riverside Acquisition
---------------------------------------------------------------
Quad/Graphics Marketing LLC won an injunction against Riverside
Acquisition Group LLC barring it from taking legal action against
the company in connection with its acquisition of Vertis Holdings
Inc.'s business.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on Sept. 23
ordered Riverside to stop from taking any action that threatens to
upset the $258.5 million sale of assets of Vertis and its
subsidiaries.

Quad sought an injunction after Riverside allegedly continued to
assert claims for successor liability despite the court's previous
order, which approved the sale "free and clear" of claims.

Prior to the court's approval of the sale, Riverside sued 5 Digit
Plus LLC, a subsidiary of Vertis, for illegal procurement and use
of confidential information and intellectual property which
Riverside claims it owns.  The company said 5 Digit Plus doesn't
own the property, therefore, it could not sell it free and clear.

The lawsuit filed before the Superior Court of New Jersey was
automatically halted after Vertis and its subsidiaries, including
5 Digit Plus filed for bankruptcy protection in October 2012.

VICTORY ENERGY: Terminates Purchase Agreement With TELA
-------------------------------------------------------
Aurora Energy Partners, a Texas general partnership of which
Victory Energy Corporation is the managing partner and owner of a
50% partnership interest, and TELA Garwood Limited, LP, mutually
agreed to the termination of the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated
June 30, 2014, between Aurora and TELA, as permitted by the terms
of the PSA, according to a regulatory filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Since the July 2, 2014, announcement of the Fairway acquisition,
the Company has acquired a 10% WI and 7.5% NRI in approximately
2,180 gross acres located in Glasscock and Howard County Texas.
This acreage is being held by production with 10 existing wells.
Forty-acre well spacing provides significant future drilling
opportunity on the property.  The company acquired its interest
from Target Energy Limited (TELA) of Australia.

Victory had initially planned to acquire a 10% WI in the full
4,530 acres of the Fairway prospect.  During its due diligence
review the Company discovered significant title impairment issues
in portions of the acreage.  These issues were not resolved to
Victory's satisfaction.  On Sept. 23, 2014, after an extensive
period of unsuccessfully trying to re-value the transaction in a
commercially reasonable manner, the Company and TELA mutually
agreed to terminate the PSA.  Because of the mutual termination,
all of the second closing acreage, with the exception of the
acreage allocated to the Taree 193-1 well, is no longer part of
the Fairway transaction.  The Company will retain its 10% WI
interest in the Taree 193-1 well as part of its termination
Agreement with Tela.  As of Sept. 30, 2014, a closing date on the
Taree 193-1 well acreage has not been scheduled.

"The termination is a result of unresolved issues relating to re-
pricing evaluation methodology and the potential loss of future
development and drilling rights on portions of the leases that are
a part of the second closing," said Kenny Hill, CEO of Victory
Energy.  "Victory's acquisitions must meet our economic benchmarks
and ownership must be deliverable by sellers before we are able to
close.  Because we were unable to meet these benchmarks on most of
the second closing acreage, we were obligated to pass on the
acreage and deploy capital to other projects."

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 6, 2012, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services raised its corporate credit rating on Englewood,
Co.-based Westmoreland Coal Co. (WLB). to 'B-' from 'CCC+'.

"The upgrade reflects our view that WLB is less vulnerable to
default after successfully negotiating less restrictive covenant
requirements for an unrated $110 million term loan due 2018," said
credit analyst Gayle Bowerman.  "Our assessment of WLB's business
risk profile as 'vulnerable' and financial risk profile as 'highly
leveraged' are unchanged.  We also revised our liquidity score to
'adequate' based on the covenant relief and additional liquidity
provided under the company's new $20 million asset-based loan
(ABL) facility from 'less than adequate'."

7,121, as compared to 5,239 as of June 16, 2014, an increase of

WV STATE UNIVERSITY: Moody's Affirms Ba1 Rating on $25MM Bonds
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed Ba1 on West Virginia State
University Foundation, Inc's Student Housing Revenue Bonds, Series
2013 affecting $25,175,000 outstanding bonds. The outlook is
stable.

Rating Rationale

The affirmation is based on the project's completion and full
lease-up for the Fall 2014 semester, in addition to its continued
close affiliation with West Virginia State University (rated Baa1
negative). The rating reflects satisfactory financial performance
projections for FY 2015 that will be sufficient to meet debt
service obligations.

Strengths

-- Centrally located on the campus of West Virginia State
University and closely affiliated with the university.

-- Project benefits from the university's subordination of
certain operating expenses as manager and the provision of a
contingent lease agreement whereby the university shall lease beds
in the event the Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio falls below 1.00x.

-- Headcount enrollment grew to 2,864 in Fall 2014, representing
an 8.6% increase from the previous year. The completion of the
project and the implementation of a two-year residency requirement
has allowed the university to increase the number of students
living on-campus by 23%.

Challenges

-- Stand-alone project financing that is subject to annual lease-
up risk and where excess revenues flow out of the trust estate.

-- Dependent on university's enrollment trends which have been
historically volatile.

Outlook

The stable outlook is based on Fall 2014 occupancy rates which
demonstrate a lower risk profile following the project's
construction period and initial lease-up.

What Could Change the Rating UP

-- Strong and consistent financial performance following the
    project's maximum annual debt service year in 2022, together
    with growing position of the university.

What Could Change the Rating DOWN

-- Declining net revenue stemming from lower than projected
    occupancy or rents

Rating Methodology

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Housing
Projects published in July 2010.

* Ruling's No Free Pass for Cities to Cut Pensions, Experts Say
---------------------------------------------------------------
Mary Williams Walsh, writing for The New York Times' DealBook,
reported that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher M. Klein's recent
ruling in the Chapter 9 case of Stockton, California, on the
city's pension gives cities having similar troubles a tool to use
when deciding what to do of their pension obligations.

Richard L. Barnett, mayor of Villa Park, California, however, said
Judge Klein's ruling is not a tool the city will be using in the
immediate future.  Mr. Barnett, who coincidentally is a bankruptcy
lawyer, said using Judge Klein's ruling could mean declaring
Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy before a city can cut its pension
obligations.  Villa Park, according to the DealBook, has voted in
September to begin the formal process of dropping out of the state
pension system, known as CalPERS.


* Elliot Greenleaf Bags TMA's Large Transaction of the Year Award
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Elliott Greenleaf received the Large Transaction of the Year Award
for the firm's work in AgFeed Industries, Inc. on September 30 at
the TMA Annual meeting in Toronto, Ontario.  Elliott Greenleaf's
shareholder and Commercial Bankruptcy and Restructuring Practice
Chair, Rafael Zahralddin, as senior counsel on this creative
transaction, received the award on the Firm's behalf.

Elliott Greenleaf represented the ad hoc committee of equity
security holders and received Court approval for appointment of an
official committee of equity security holders which it represented
in the case.  The equity committee played a significant role in
the sale transactions which resulted in the very successful sale
of AgFeed's U.S. based assets to affiliates of Tri-Oaks Foods and
Murphy Brown and its assets in China to Ningbo Tech Bank.

The firm assembled a team of professionals, including
Gavin Solmonese and Sugar Felsenthal Grais & Hammer, to provide a
value driven representation for the equity in the case which
consisted largely of individual shareholders that were the victims
of fraud.

Mr. Zahralddin said, "This has been a challenging case because of
its complexity.  We are most proud of the work done by our
committee, small businessmen and retirees, who in most cases
invested significant savings and lost them to fraud and
mismanagement which we will continue to address."

Elliott Greenleaf's Chairman and CEO, John M. Elliott, expressed,
"Our law firm continues to provide creative and effective
solutions to difficult financial challenges.  Rafael and his
team's effective lawyering is a testament to this firm's creative
problem solving."

Rafael Zahralddin-Aravena led the firm's successful engagement
with a team that included Eric Sutty, Shelley Kinsella and
paralegal, Sandee Roberts.  "This case was in a delicate balance
when we got involved; push too hard on the fraud issues during the
sales and the value of the company would be manipulated by
opportunistic bidders.  We were able to strike the right tone and
work with the company and CRO Keith Maib to timely obtain a
recovery for the shareholders," Mr. Zahralddin said.

Recently honored by Thomson Reuters' publications as a Top 25
Business Litigation Firm in the United States and repeatedly
selected as a Corporate Counsel "Go To" Fortune 200 law firm,
Elliott Greenleaf's Commercial Bankruptcy and Restructuring
Practice has experience representing creditors and creditor
committees across the country and in cross border transactions.

Like many other private-sector and public institutions in modern
society, hospitals are regularly undergoing change. The three
authors of this volume have been leaders in change at Boston State
Hospital, a large public mental hospital, that serves as the test
case for the experienced advice and hard-earned lessons found in
this work.

With their academic and professional backgrounds, the three
authors combined offer an incomparable fund of knowledge and
experience for the reader. In keeping with their positions, they
focus on the position and the role of the leaders of institutional
change. They do not recommend any particular choices, direction,
or outcome. They do not presume to know what is the best for all
institutions, or to understand the culture, realities, goals, or
values of all institutions. They do not even presume to know what
is best or desirable for hospitals, the institution with which
they are most familiar. Instead, the authors direct their
attention to "the problems hampering change and the gains and
losses of one or another strategy of change." In relation to this,
they are "more concerned with the study of process than with
outcome." By not recommending specific policies or arguing for
specific values or goals, the authors make their book relevant to
all institutions involved in change, but particularly public-
health institutions.

All of the subjects are dealt with from the perspective of top
executives and administrators. Among the subjects taken up are not
only the staff and structure of the institution, specifically the
medical institution, but also consultants, volunteers, local
communities, and state and federal government agencies. The detail
given to each subject goes beyond the administrator's relationship
to it to discussion concerning the relationship of lower-level
employees with the subject. This relationship of lower-level
employees has everything to do with how change occurs within the
institution, and often whether it occurs. The authors go into such
detail because they understand that the performance and goals of
top administrators are affected by everything that goes on within
their institution, and often by much that goes on outside of it.

For example, the authors begin the subject of volunteers by
defining three types of volunteers: volunteers from organizations,
student or independent volunteers, and government-appointed or
statutory volunteers. Volunteers of whatever type can cause
anxiety, resistance, and even resentment among regular staff of an
institution. Volunteers are not simply "free help," but require
administration, training, and oversight - which can distract
regular employees from work they consider more important and
interesting, and use up departments' resources. The transitional
nature of volunteers, their ignorance of institutional and
occupational concerns of the regular staff, and their lack of
professionalism can cause disruptions and personnel problems in
parts of an institution. The authors advise the top
administrators, "The intrusive evangelism of student volunteers
can be threatening not only to professional supervisors, but to
the entire hospital staff as well, from the attendant to the top
administrator." While recognizing the problems which may be caused
by volunteers, especially younger ones, the authors point out the
worth of volunteers to the hospital despite the potential problems
they bring. Overall, the different types of volunteers "improve
the physical and social environment" of the workplace, "make
direct and beneficial contacts with chronic patients," and often
"establish true innovations." After discussing the pros and cons
of volunteers and providing detailed guidance on how to manage
volunteers so as to minimize potential problems, the authors
advise the administrator and his or her staff how to regard
volunteers. "Both staff and administrator must constantly keep in
mind that volunteers are not personally helping them [word in
italics in original], but are helping the patients or the
community." Along with the technical management and administrative
guidance, such counsel is clearly relevant and important in
keeping perspective on the matter of volunteers.

The treatment of volunteers in a medical institution exemplifies
the comprehensive, empathetic, and experienced treatment of all
the subjects. Personnel - whether professional, clerical, service,
or volunteer - is obviously a major concern of any institution and
change in it. The structure of an institution is another crucial
concern. This is addressed under the heading "decentralization
through unitization." In the context of a large public medical
facility, decentralization "involves breaking up the institution
into semiautonomous units...; each of which is like a small
community health center in that it is responsible for serving a
specific part of the community." As with the subject of
volunteers, the authors treat this subject of the structure of the
institution by examining its various sides, discussing related
personnel and administrative matters, relating instructive
anecdotes from their own experience, and in the end, offering
relevant and practical advice and actions whose sense is apparent
to the reader by this point.

Recognizing that the authors have faced many of the same
situations, decisions, pressures, challenges, and aims as they
have, top hospital and public-health administrators will no doubt
adopt many of the authors' recommendations for managing the
process of change. The content of the book as well as its style
(which is obviously meant to be helpful, sympathetic, and
realistic) offers the reader not only resolutions, but also
encouragement. The top hospital administrators and their staffs,
who are the main audience for "Dynamics of Institutional Change,"
will not find a better study and handbook to help them through the
changes their institutions are being called upon to undergo to
deal with the health concerns and problems of today's society.

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 by e-mail.

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 the nation's bankruptcy courts.  The
