fourth largest investment bank in the United States.  For more
than 150 years, Lehman Brothers has been a leader in the global
financial markets by serving the financial needs of corporations,
governmental units, institutional clients and individuals
worldwide.

Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy September 15, 2008
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 08-13555).  Lehman's bankruptcy petition
listed US$639 billion in assets and US$613 billion in debts,

Esq., Shai Y. Waisman, Esq., and Jacqueline Marcus, Esq., at Weil,

U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, entered
an order commencing liquidation of Lehman Brothers, Inc., pursuant
to the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act (Case
No. 08-CIV-8119 (GEL)).  James W. Giddens has been appointed as
trustee for the SIPA liquidation of the business of LBI

of Lehman Brothers' North American investment banking and
capital markets operations and supporting infrastructure for

AA NUTTS: CRISIL Assigns 'BB-' Rating to INR15MM Cash Credit
------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB-/Stable/P4+' ratings to the bank
facilities of AA Nutts, which is part of the Alpha group.

   Facilities                        Ratings
   ----------                        -------
   INR15.0 Million Cash Credit       BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR58.0 Million Packing Credit    P4+ (Assigned)

The ratings reflect the Alpha group's average financial risk
profile, marked by a modest net worth, and average debt protection
metrics.  The group's earnings profile is also exposed to risks
relating to availability of raw cashew and skilled labor.  These
rating weaknesses are partially offset by the Alpha group's
established track record and the promoters' experience in the
cashew industry.

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of AA Nutts, Alpha International, Afeef
Cashew Company, and Al-Aziz and Company, collectively referred to
as the Alpha group.  This is because these entities have, and are
managed by, common promoters, are in the same line of business,
and have business and financial fungibility.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that the Alpha group will continue to benefit from
its established market position in the cashew industry over the
medium term.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if there is
significant improvement in the group's financial risk profile,
marked by growth in net cash accruals, while it maintains stable
debt protection indicators.  Conversely, the outlook may be
revised to 'Negative' if volatility in prices of raw cashew,
availability of skilled labour, and competitive pressures in end-
user markets adversely affect the group's revenues, profitability,
and net cash accruals.

                          About the Group

The Alpha group comprises four partnership firms, Alpha, Afeef,
Al-Aziz, and AA Nutts.  The Alpha group is promoted and managed by
Mr. M A Anzar, and his cousin, Mr. Mohammed Najeeb.  The firms,
based in Kollam (Kerala), process and export cashew nuts, and have
a combined capacity of 70 tonnes per day (tpd). The group also
acquires additional processing facilities on temporary lease
basis.

AA Nutts reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR1.0 million on
net sales of INR215.0 million for 2009-10 (refers to financial
year, April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR1.29 million on
net sales of INR123.4 million for 2008-09.


AL-AZIZ AND COMPANY: CRISIL Places 'BB-' Rating on INR3.0MM Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB-/Stable/P4+' ratings to the bank
facilities of Al-Aziz and Company, which is part of the Alpha
group.

   Facilities                        Ratings
   ----------                        -------
   INR15.0 Million Cash Credit       BB-/Stable (Assigned)

   INR65.0 Million Packing Credit    P4+ (Assigned)
   INR10.0 Million Post Shipment     P4+ (Assigned)
                          Credit

The ratings reflect the Alpha group's average financial risk
profile, marked by a modest net worth, and average debt protection
metrics.  The group's earnings profile is also exposed to risks
relating to availability of raw cashew and skilled labour. These
rating weaknesses are partially offset by the Alpha group's

Al-Aziz reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR2.7 million on net
sales of INR189.3 million for 2009-10 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR1.12 million on net
sales of INR84.5 million for 2008-09.


AFEEF CASHEW: CRISIL Assigns 'BB-' Rating to INR15.0MM Cash Credit
------------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB-/Stable/P4+' ratings to the bank
facilities of Afeef Cashew Company, which is part of the Alpha
group.

   Facilities                        Ratings
   ----------                        -------
   INR15.0 Million Cash Credit       BB-/Stable (Assigned)

a combined capacity of 70 tonnes per day (tpd).  The group also
acquires additional processing facilities on temporary lease
basis.

Afeef reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR2.38 million on net
sales of INR180.7 million for 2009-10 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR1.0 million on net sales
of INR83.5 million for 2008-09.


AKAK ISPAT: CRISIL Assigns 'B+' Rating to INR37.5MM Cash Credit
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B+/Stable' rating to Akak Ispat Udyog Pvt
Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                          Ratings
   ----------                          -------
   INR37.5 Million Cash Credit         B+/Stable (Assigned)
   INR12.5 Million Letter of Credit    B+/Stable (Assigned)


The rating reflects Akak's weak financial risk profile, marked by
a small net worth, high gearing, weak debt protection metrics, and
constrained liquidity, exposure to risks related to the commodity-
like market for its product and trading operations, and
susceptibility to volatility in steel prices. These rating
weaknesses are partially offset by Akak's moderate business risk
profile, backed by promoters' extensive experience in the steel
trading industry.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Akak will continue to benefit from its
promoters' extensive experience in the steel trading industry,
over the medium term.  The financial risk profile will, however,
remain constrained due to its weak capital structure. The outlook
may be revised to 'Positive' if Akak's revenues and profitability
improve significantly, thereby increasing its net worth.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the
company's revenues and profitability decline significantly,
leading to deterioration in its financial risk profile.

                          About Akak Ispat

Akak, based in Kolkata, was set up as a partnership firm, Aditya
Kumar Animesh Kumar, by Mr. Mohanlal Gupta in 1995; it was
reconstituted as a private limited company in January, 2008.  The
Gupta family has been trading in steel products since 1962.  Akak
trades in iron and steel products. Its products include mild steel
round bars, angles, channels, billets, and galvanized and cold-
rolled sheets.  The company procures materials from the Steel
Authority of India Ltd, Indian Iron and Steel Company Ltd, and
local traders and manufacturers.  It derives around 95 per cent of
its revenues from West Bengal, and the remainder from sales in
Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

Akak reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR0.3 million on net
sales of INR263 million for 2009-10 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR0.3 million on net sales
of INR262 million for 2008-09.


ALPHA INTERNATIONAL: CRISIL Rates INR15MM Cash Credit at 'BB-'
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB-/Stable/P4+' ratings to the bank
facilities of Alpha International, which is part of the Alpha
group.

   Facilities                         Ratings

ANANDHA INN: CRISIL Reaffirms 'D' Ratings on Various Bank Debts
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's ratings on Anandha Inn Pvt Ltd's bank facilities continue
to reflect sustained delays by Anandha in servicing its term loan;
the delays have been caused by Anandha's weak liquidity.

   Facilities                          Ratings
   ----------                          -------
   INR188.0 Million Long-Term Loan     D (Reaffirmed)
   INR6.5 Million Overdraft Facility   D (Reaffirmed)
   INR0.5 Million Bill Purchase-       P5 (Reaffirmed)
               Discounting Facility
   INR0.3 Million Bank Guarantee       P5 (Reaffirmed)

Anandha's revenues are concentrated in its single property,
Anandha Inn?a 70-room, four-star hotel at Puducherry.
Furthermore, the company has a modest scale of operations and is
susceptible to industrial and economic slowdowns.  However,
Anandha benefits from its good brand image in the premium hotel
segment in Puducherry.

Anandha has not made its June 2010 interest payment on its term
loans from Indian Bank.  The delay in servicing the debt is
because of the cost overrun in the company's ongoing convention
centre project and inadequate cash flows from its existing hotel,
which have weakened the company's liquidity.

Anandha is constructing a convention centre at an estimated cost
of INR348.5 million; the project cost has increased from INR240.0
million because of increase in raw material costs.  The project is
funded through a term loan of INR198.0 million and balance through
promoter's funds.  The convention centre is scheduled to commence
operations in September 2010 (in line with the initial plans),
while the repayment of the debt contracted to fund the project
began in June 2010.

Anandha reported a provisional net loss of INR1.6 million on net
sales of INR79.3 million for 2009-10 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a profit after tax of INR2.0 million
on net sales of INR78.8 million for 2008-09.

                         About Anandha Inn

Anandha was incorporated in 1990 by Mr. P Thirunavukkarasu.  The
company is in the hotel business and has a 70-room, 4-star hotel,
Anandha Inn, in Puduchery.  The company also runs a marriage hall,
Anandha Thirumeanilaoem, and a resto-bar business under the Asian
House brand.  The company is constructing a convention centre at a
cost of INR348.5 million; the convention centre is expected to
commence operations in September 2010.


BEST ROSES: CRISIL Reaffirms 'D' Rating on INR62.74MM LT Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has reaffirmed its 'D' rating on the long-term bank
facility of Best Roses Biotech Pvt Ltd.  The rating reflects
prolonged default by Best Roses in repayment of its term loan
obligations.

   Facilities                         Ratings
   ----------                         -------
   INR62.74 million Long-Term Loan    D (Reaffirmed)

Best Roses, a 100% export-oriented unit, was engaged in soil-less
cultivation of flowers.  The company has shut down its operations
on account of losses.


BIOPAC INDIA: Fitch Upgrades National Long-Term Rating to 'B'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded Biopac India Corporation Limited's
National Long-term rating to 'B(ind)' from 'B-(ind)'.  The Outlook
is Stable.  The agency has also affirmed the Short-term ratings on
BICL's INR25 million fund-based limits and its INR62.5 million
non-fund based limits at 'F4(ind)'.  Fitch has simultaneously
upgraded these ratings on the company's bank loans:

  -- INR65 million long-term loans upgraded to 'B(ind)' from 'B-
     (ind)'; and

  -- INR60 million cash credit limits upgraded to 'B(ind)' from
     'B-(ind)'.

The upgrades primarily reflect stabilization of BICL's operations,
after it restructured its business following a December 2004 plant
fire.  After showing a negative net profit during FY08-FY07, BICL
showed positive profits during FY09-FY10 and improved cash flows
due to its better working capital management.

The ratings continue to be constrained by the relatively low value
addition undertaken by the company, its vulnerability to raw
material price volatility and increased competition due to low
barriers of entry, which may result in margin pressure.  The
ratings also factor in volatility in the foreign exchange rate,
although BICL follows a conservative forex policy and has been
able to manage the risks.  The Short-term ratings are constrained
by high working capital requirements due to its export operations
and the nature of the business.

The ratings are supported by a Long-term Stable demand Outlook.
The ratings also factor in benefits from packaging and hygiene
standards for the industry and the growing acceptability of
polystyrene as a food-grade plastic.  The company plans to
diversify its product portfolio, which is expected to give it top
line growth and stronger margins.

BICL's ratings could be further upgraded if it is able to
demonstrate sustained growth and an ability to manage the raw
material price fluctuations.  However, any material debt-led capex
and/ or acquisitions could apply downward rating pressure.  Any
significant negative impact from working capital, which affects
cash flow from operations, or a greater-than-expected decline in
the domestic market could also apply downward rating pressure.

In FY10, BICL reported net sales of INR416.5m, a total adjusted
debt/EBITDAR of 1.8x and an EBITDA margin of 15.2% (FY09:
INR313 million, 2.8x and 19.6%, respectively).  As at end-March
2010, BICL's total debt was INR108 million.  As on June 2010, the
company had INR85 million of fund-based limits and INR62.5 million
of non-fund based limits of which 28% and 4% have been utilized,
respectively.  The liquidity is expected to be consistent with the
ratings.


CHAMAN METALLICS: CRISIL Assigns 'BB+' Rating to INR170MM Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB+/Stable/P4+' ratings to Chaman
Metallics Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                         Ratings
   ----------                         -------
   INR130.00 Million Cash Credit      BB+/Stable (Assigned)
   INR170.00 Million Term Loan        BB+/Stable (Assigned)
   INR40.00 Million Bank Guarantee    P4+ (Assigned)

The ratings reflect CML's large working capital requirements and
susceptibility of its margins to volatility in raw material
prices.  These rating weaknesses are partially offset by CML's
above-average financial risk profile, marked by moderate gearing,
and the benefits that the company derives from its promoters'
experience in the steel industry.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that CML will continue to benefit from its
promoters' industry experience and above-average financial risk
profile.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if CML's
business and financial risk profile improve, most likely because
of improved capacity utilization and improvement in margins.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the
company's financial risk profile weakens significantly as a result
of unfavourable movements in prices of coal and iron ore, or the
company extends its financial support to other MSP group entities.

                          About Chaman Metallics

CML, incorporated in 2003, manufactures sponge iron and has
enhanced its capacity to 75,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) from 30,000
tpa in 2009-10 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31).
The company promoted by Mr. Suresh Kumar Agarwal is part of the
Kolkata-based MSP group.

CML reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR13.9 million on net
sales of INR333.7 million for 2009-10 against a PAT of INR16.4
million on net sales of INR313.3 million for 2008-09.


GLR REAL: CRISIL Reaffirms 'BB-' Rating on INR100MM Cash Credit
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's ratings on the bank facilities of GLR Real Estate Pvt Ltd
continue to reflect GLR's exposure to implementation risks
associated with its upcoming Gulmohar City project and
geographical and project concentration in its revenue profile.
These rating weaknesses are partially offset by expectation of
timely completion and saleability of Phase 1 of GLR's Gulmohar
City project.

   Facilities                         Ratings
   ----------                         -------
   INR100.0 Million Cash Credit       BB-/Stable (Reaffirmed)
   INR50.0 Million Proposed LT Bank   BB-/Stable (Reaffirmed)
                Loan Facility

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that GLR's financial risk profile will remain
stable over the medium term, supported by the expected timely cash
inflows from the completion of Phase 1 of the ongoing Gulmohar
City project.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' in case of
increased scale of operations leading to higher net worth levels.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if there is
substantial decline in GLR's cash accruals because of reduced
demand in the real estate sector in Gwalior, or if GLR contracts
sizeable debt to launch subsequent phases of Gulmohar City
project, thereby weakening its capital structure and debt
protection metrics.

                       About GLR Real Estate

GLR, incorporated in 2005, is a subsidiary of Neoteric
Constructions Ltd, which has been present in the real estate
market in Gwalior for around 15 years.  GLR successfully completed
and marketed one residential project in Gwalior - Phase III of
Garden Home - in 2007-08 (refers to financial year, April 1 to
March 31).  The company is currently executing a development
project of a mini city ? Gulmohar City in Gwalior, comprising
apartment homes, individual homes, row houses and villas. The
total project cost is estimated at INR2500 million.

GLR is currently executing the first phase of its Gulmohar City
project, which comprises 294 units (flats and row houses) with
cost estimated at INR350 million.

For 2008-09, GLR reported a profit after tax (PAT) INR27 million
on net sales of INR157 million, against a PAT of INR35 million on
net sales of INR132 million for 2007-08.


EMERALD MINERAL: Fitch Assigns 'B' National Long-Term Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned India's Emerald Mineral Exim Pvt. Ltd.
a National Long-term rating of 'B(ind)' with a Stable Outlook.
The agency has also assigned ratings to Emerald's bank loans:

  -- INR154 million fund-based working capital limits:
     'B(ind)'/'F4(ind)'; and

  -- INR50.07 million non-fund based working capital limits:
     'F4(ind)'.

The ratings reflect Emerald's trading nature of business with
associated risks of price and margins fluctuations.  Fitch notes
that Emerald carries a substantial inventory value fluctuaion risk
as its average inventory was more than two months' annual sales
during FY07-FY10.  Emerald's product portfolio mostly comprises
iron ore fines (over 90%) which are mainly meant for export to
China.  This has resulted in significant single product and
geographic concentration risks for the issuer.

The ratings derive support from Emerald's long-term agreements
with mine owners and license holders for iron ore fines, assuring
adequate supply, and also from the issuer's well developed network
of branch and associates offices, which facilitates logistics and
direct control at various stages of transportation.

Positive rating triggers include Emerald's EBIDTA interest
coverage of above 1.5x on a sustained basis with a positive growth
in its volumes.  Negative rating triggers include Emerald's EBIDTA
interest coverage of below 1.1x and/ or any restriction or ban on
the export of iron ore fines to China.

Emerald, incorporated in 2004, is involved in the trading and
export of iron ore fines.  In FY10, the company reported gross
revenues of INR1038.99 million (FY09: INR829.95 million), while
its EBIDTA margins improved to 2.78% (INR28.90 million) from 2.62%
(INR21.72 million) in FY09.


JET AIRWAYS: Expects Improved Seat Factors on International Routes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Jet Airways (India) Ltd. expects seat factors on international
routes to improve in the second quarter ending September 30, which
would offset a seasonally weak domestic market, The Economic Times
reports, citing a senior official.

The second quarter "historically shows lower seat factor because
of reduced leisure travel in the domestic segment," the Economic
Times cited Saroj Datta, executive director, as saying in a
conference call with analysts.  "International routes on the other
hand would show improved seat factors which should help compensate
for the fall in demand for domestic operations," Mr. Datta said.

The group, which has a fleet of 112 aircraft, plans to add between
four and six aircraft on lease for its domestic routes this year,
KG Vishwanath, vice president of strategy and investor relations,
told The Economic Times.  It has already taken delivery of two
aircraft.  It, however, has no plans to enhance capacity on its
international routes this fiscal, the report notes.

JET AIRWAYS: Posts INR3.52cr Net Profit in Qtr Ended June 30
------------------------------------------------------------
Jet Airways (India) Ltd posted a stand-alone net profit of INR3.52
crore for the June quarter against a net loss of INR225.33 crore a
year ago, livemint.com reports.  The profit was helped by

RAMAN ISPAT: CRISIL Assigns 'B' Rating to INR14.5MM Term Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B/Stable/P4' ratings to Raman Ispat Pvt
Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                         Ratings
   ----------                         -------
   INR30.0 Million Cash Credit        B/Stable (Assigned)
   INR14.5 Million Term Loan          B/Stable (Assigned)
   INR10.0 Million Letter of Credit   P4 (Assigned)

The ratings reflect Raman's weak financial risk profile, marked by
a small net worth and weak debt protection metrics. The rating
also reflects Raman's exposure to risks related to small scale of
operations, to intense competition in the steel industry, to
product concentration in revenue profile, and to volatility in raw
material prices. These rating weaknesses are partially offset by
the benefits that Raman derives from its established customer base
and promoters' experience in the steel long products segment.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Raman will continue to benefit from its
established customer base and its promoters' experience in the
steel long products manufacturing business over the medium term.
The rating outlook may be revised to 'Positive' in case of
significant improvement in Raman's profitability. Conversely, the
rating outlook may be revised to 'Negative' in case the company
undertakes larger-than-expected debt-funded capital expenditure
programme, leading to deterioration in its financial risk profile,
or in case of an unexpected decline in business volumes and
profitability, weakening its liquidity position.

                         About Raman Ispat

Set up in 1989, Raman manufactures of mild steel ingots, which are
used by secondary manufacturers and steel rolling mills to

functions of the company.

Raman reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR0.4 million on net
sales of INR170 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR0.7 million on net sales
of INR158 million for 2007-08.


SAKET ENGINEERS: CRISIL Assigns 'B-' Ratings to Various Bank Debts
------------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B-/Stable/P4' ratings to Saket Engineers
Pvt Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                              Ratings
   ----------                              -------
   INR195.30 Million Long-Term Loan        B-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR374.70 Million Proposed LT Loan      B-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR60.00 Million Proposed Cash Credit   B-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR190.00 Million Proposed Letter of    P4 (Assigned)
           Credit/Bank Guarantee

The ratings reflect Saket's exposure to risks related to pressure
on demand and realizations due to oversupply situation in
Hyderabad real estate market and the company's aggressive on-going
projects.  These rating weaknesses are partially offset by Saket's
diversified revenue profile and its established track record in
the regional real estate segment.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL expects Saket to maintain its business risk profile on the
back of its established presence.  The outlook may be revised to
'Positive' in case of earlier than expected bookings in Saket's
residential projects resulting in healthy cash accruals and if
Saket increases the geographic diversity in its revenue profile.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' in case of
time or cost overruns in Saket's ongoing project, lower-than-
expected revenues from new projects or unexpected cancellations of
orders or if Saket undertakes large debt funded fresh projects.

                        About Saket Engineers

year, April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR19 million on net
sales of INR175 million for 2008-09.


* Moody's Upgrades Ratings on India's Government Bonds to 'Ba1'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has upgraded India's local currency
government bond rating to Ba1 from Ba2.

Moody's has also affirmed India's Baa3 foreign currency government
bond rating, narrowing the gap between the local and foreign
currency ratings to one notch.

The outlook on the local currency rating remains positive, while
the outlook on the foreign currency sovereign rating remains
stable.

The main reasons for the local currency ratings upgrade are:

1.  A broad range of institutional and structural reforms whose
    deepening, over time, will result in gradual improvements in
    the government's financial strength, support fiscal
    credibility, and improve economic resiliency.

2.  The absence of any heightened recourse to non-market measures
    for financing the government's large stimulus program, which
    could otherwise have carried credibility costs

3.  The Indian economy's resilience throughout the global
    recession

4.  The weakening of the structural and policy reasons that could
    still allow the government to prioritize its external
    obligations over its domestic obligations

India's short-term issuer rating of NP was not affected by this
rating action.

Likewise, the country ceilings remain unchanged at Aa3 for local
currency bonds, Baa2 for foreign currency bonds, A1 for local
currency deposits, and Ba1 for foreign currency deposits.

              Rationale For The Ba1 Sovereign Rating
                     And Narrower Ratings GAP

"The upgrade of the local currency sovereign rating to Ba1 was
prompted by the Indian government's adoption of a medium-term
(2010-2015) fiscal consolidation strategy, which is supported by a
broadening structural reform program," said Mr. Aninda Mitra, a
Moody's Vice President and the company's lead sovereign analyst
for India.

"Ongoing policy normalization, disinvestments, fuel subsidy
reforms, along with impending tax reforms will support the
government's fiscal and debt position and are in line with, and
may even outperform, the government debt targets envisaged in the
'revised roadmap for fiscal consolidation' -- as laid out by the
country's Thirteenth Finance Commission," said Mr.  Mitra.

"The sovereign ratings also reflect the ability of policymakers to
temporarily mount sizable counter-cyclical policies without
weakening institutional credibility or damaging local investors'
faith in the government," said Mitra, adding, "recent reforms
follow closely on the heels of the demonstrated resilience of the
Indian economy which had performed better than most emerging
markets without any worsening of external or government debt
metrics."

"The absence of non-market or repressive measures to raise
domestic financing for a substantial government borrowing program
-- in a very stressful local and global environment -- also
influenced Moody's decision to upgrade India's local currency
rating," said the analyst.

          Rationale For The Positive Outlook On The Ba1
                       Local Currency Rating

The positive outlook on the Ba1 local currency sovereign rating
encapsulates the expectation that reasonable policy management and
a deepening of reforms will contain inflationary pressures, and
reduce the risk of any renewed fiscal slippage.  It also reflects
the political scope and the policy commitment for implementing
reforms until the end of the current government's term in office
in 2014.  These are expected to contain the risk of heightened
structural fiscal pressures from a broadening of social welfare
programs.

               What Could Eliminate The Ratings GAP

Moody's ratings gap in favor of the Indian government's foreign
currency obligations signifies a potential likelihood that the
government of India could prioritize its external obligations over
its domestic obligations.  The former are easily repayable and
owed predominantly to official creditors; and the latter are
onerous and owed largely to a statutorily pliable domestic
creditor base.

However, even amidst a trying global and local environment, Indian
authorities have remained on the course of implementing
incremental institutional and regulatory reforms that are
deepening and liberalizing domestic capital markets.  And,
improving government finances will also gradually ease the need
for onshore controls, and risk socialization.

In this context, Moody's will consider unifying India's local and
foreign currency ratings at Baa3 should the track record of fiscal
reforms deepen, and if --currently higher than usual- inflation
pressures normalize.  These developments would underpin the
government's structural reform program and improve its local
currency creditworthiness.

Currently, the Indian government's foreign currency bond rating of
Baa3 and its stable outlook is well positioned given the country's
reasonably healthy external fundamentals, and macroeconomic
prospects.

Moody's last rating action on India was taken on December 15,
2009, at which time it changed the outlook for the Ba2 local
currency sovereign ratings to positive from stable.

BERAU COAL: Moody's Affirms 'B2' Corporate Family Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed its B2 corporate family
rating for PT Berau Coal.  At the same time, Moody's has affirmed
the B2 senior secured bond rating for the US$350 million 5-year
notes issued by Berau Capital Resources Pte Ltd, which is wholly
owned by PT Berau Coal Energy.  The B2 bond rating also extends to
the proposed tap issue on substantially the same terms and
conditions.  The outlook on both ratings is stable.

The ratings have been removed from their provisional status
following completion of the initial bond raising exercise as well
as the associated US$400 million senior secured loan transaction.

BCE is a 90% shareholder of Berau.  The bonds are guaranteed by
BCE and its subsidiaries, which includes Berau.  Funds raised at
the BCE level will total US$850 million, including the tap issue,
and will be substantially used to partially refinance bridge loans
incurred for the acquisition of Berau by Recapital Advisors.

The tap issue will be used to fund the interest reserve account
and pay fees related to the total US$850 million debt rising
exercise as well as repay a portion of the outstanding
US$580 million vendor notes.  The increase in the total debt
burden to US$1.53 billion clearly has negative implications for
financial metrics, and results in consolidated adjusted
debt/EBITDA increasing to 5.15x from 5.0x, although can be
contained at the B2 rating.  Moody's debt is adjusted to include
the vendor notes and subordinated loan from Bumi Resources at the
holding company.

The last rating action was taken on June 22, 2010, when the
provisional B2 ratings were assigned to Berau's corporate family
and senior secured bonds ratings.

Berau is Indonesia's fifth largest producer and exporter of
thermal coal.  It operates three active mines -- Lati, Sambarata
and Binungan -- at a single site in East Kalimantan.  It has
estimated resources of approximately 1.4 billion tons, with
probable and proven reserves estimated at 346 million tons ("mt").

In December 2009, Recapital acquired an effective 90% stake in
Berau from its existing shareholders for US$1.48 billion

JAPAN AIRLINES: Creditors Likely to Agree on Reduced Debt Waiver
----------------------------------------------------------------
Japan Airlines and its creditor banks are likely to agree to
reduce the amount of the carrier's debts that the banks will
forgive from JPY410 billion to about JPY383 billion, The Yomiuri
Shimbun reports citing unnamed sources.

According to the report, sources said JAL hopes to present a final
draft of its corporate rehabilitation plan to the banks, probably
on Aug. 2, and enter into final negotiations between the two
sides.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
July 26, 2010, Kyodo News said Japan Airlines is proposing a
reduction in its debt waiver to its main creditor banks.  The move
would bring JAL's debt waiver down by about JPY20 billion
from the current JPY400 billion it is asking from the creditor
banks, which have been reluctant to accept JAL's request for an
increased debt waiver, sources told Kyodo.  The airline will seek
a reduced figure from the current requested fresh loan of JPY360
billion.  By easing the burden on the banks, Kyodo noted, JAL
and Enterprise Turnaround Initiative Corp of Japan, the state-
backed administrator overseeing the airline's rehabilitation, are
hoping to reach an accord with the banks and proceed with
submitting the rehabilitation plan to the Tokyo District Court as
planned by the end of August.

JMAC 4: Fitch Downgrades Ratings on Various Classes of Notes
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded the class D and E trust beneficiary
interests from JMAC 4 Trust due February 2013, and removed the
Rating Watch Negative on these TBIs.  Fitch has affirmed the
rating of the class C TBIs and also removed the RWN on this class.
All ratings actions are:

  -- JPY0.63 billion* Class A TBIs affirmed at 'AAA'; Outlook
     Stable;

  -- JPY1.0 billion* Class B TBIs affirmed at 'AAA'; Outlook
     revised to Stable from Negative;

  -- JPY0.9 billion* Class C TBIs affirmed at 'BBB-'; off RWN;
     Outlook Negative;

  -- JPY0.8 billion* Class D TBIs downgraded to 'D' from 'C';
     Recovery Rating of 'RR4'; off RWN; and

  -- JPY0.5 billion* Class E TBIs downgraded to 'D' from 'C';
     Recovery Rating of 'RR6'; off RWN.

  -- Class X1 TBIs (dividend-only), rating of 'AAA' with Stable
     Outlook has been withdrawn.

* As of July 23, 2010.  The principal amount for the purpose of
  dividend calculation (Haitou Keisan Kijun Ganpongaku) for the
  Class D and E TBIs has been reduced to JPY0.37 billion and JPY0
  respectively.  The face amount on these classes has not been
  changed.

The class D and E TBIs have been downgraded to reflect Fitch's
opinion that these TBIs have effectively experienced an
irreversible write-down of principal.  In late April 2010, the
servicer reported to the trustee regarding the uncollectable
amount from a loan that had defaulted in December 2008.
Consequently, the principal amount for the purpose of dividend
calculation has been reduced.

All properties backing the defaulted loan had been sold by end-
March 2010 and sales proceeds have already been applied to the
repayment of principal on the loan and TBIs at the May 2010
payment date.  Although some additional collections are expected
from this defaulted loan before the liquidation of the borrower,
the work-out activities initiated by the special servicer have
been substantially completed and the servicer has finalized the
uncollectable amount from the loan.  In Fitch's opinion, the
principal loss on the class D and E TBIs has in effect been
determined, following the reduction of the principal amount of
both for the purpose of dividend calculation for these classes:
JPY0.37bn for class D TBIs and JPY0 for class E TBIs.

The class C TBIs have been affirmed reflecting Fitch's view on the
credit enhancement level after the determination of the principal
loss on the junior classes as well as full recovery from another
defaulted loan.  The latter loan defaulted in February 2010.
However, it was fully recovered in late May 2010 after the
property was disposed.  The repayment proceeds from this loan will
be applied to the principal payment on the TBIs at the next
payment date in August 2010.  The agency has removed the RWN
status as it views that negative rating actions are unlikely in
the short term.  The performance of the two remaining properties
backing the two remaining loans is in line with Fitch's
expectations and the agency has adopted conservative property
values for the purpose of its review, reflecting the remaining
time to loan maturity.

The class A and B TBIs have been affirmed with Stable Outlooks to
reflect the improvement of credit enhancement levels to date,
given that all repayments from the underlying loans were applied
sequentially.

The rating on the dividend-only class X1 TBIs, which only
addresses the likelihood of receiving dividends while principal on
the related classes remain outstanding, has been withdrawn.  For
additional information, please see the comment, entitled 'Fitch
Revises Practice for Rating IO & Pre-Payment Related Structured
Finance Securities', dated June 23, 2010.

At closing, the TBIs were backed by 16 loans ultimately secured by
26 commercial real estate properties in Japan and to date, 13
loans have been fully repaid.  The transaction is currently
secured by two loans backed by a total of two properties,
repayment proceeds from one repaid loan and one defaulted loan,
which has been determined to effectively incur a principal loss.


L-JAC 8: S&P Downgrades Ratings on Various Interests to 'D'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered to 'D' from 'CC' its
ratings on the classes C to K trust beneficial interests issued
under the L-JAC 8 Trust Beneficial Interest transaction.  At the
same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed its ratings on the remaining
classes A and B trust beneficial interests.

One of the two transaction's underlying loans defaulted, and the
collateral property backing the defaulted loan was sold at a lower
price than the principal amount of the loan.  To reflect the
erosion of principal, Standard & Poor's lowered its ratings on
classes C to K to 'CC' on March 26, 2010.  Following the erosion
of the principal of the loan, the principal amounts of the classes
C to K trust beneficial interests were reduced on the trust
payment date in July 2010.  To reflect the reduction in principal
amounts, Standard & Poor's lowered its ratings on the classes C to
K to 'D' from 'CC'.

Standard & Poor's will continue to monitor the remaining one loan
backing this transaction (originally representing about 25.4% of
the initial issuance amount of the trust certificates), with a
focus on the repayment of the loan, the performance of the
underlying collateral property, and recoveries from the underlying
property.

L-JAC 8 Trust Beneficial Interest is a multi-borrower CMBS
transaction that was originally secured by two loans extended to
two obligors.  The loans were initially backed by one real estate
beneficial interest and one real estate property.  The transaction
was arranged by Lehman Brothers Japan Inc. Premier Asset
Management Co. acts as the servicer for this transaction.

The ratings address the full and timely payment of interest and
the ultimate repayment of principal by the transaction's legal
final maturity date in January 2013 for the class A trust
certificates, the full payment of interest and ultimate repayment
of principal by the legal final maturity date for the class B to K
certificates.

L-JAC 7: S&P Downgrades Ratings on Various Certificates to 'D'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on classes
H-1, I-1, J-1, and K-1 trust certificates issued under the L-JAC 7
Trust Beneficial Interest and Trust Loan transaction to 'D' from
'CC'.  At the same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed its ratings on
the remaining 20 tranches of trust certificates, trust loan, and
class X trust certificate.

One of the transaction's underlying loans defaulted in March 2009,
and the collateral property backing the defaulted loan was sold at
a lower price than the principal amount of the loan.  To reflect
the erosion of principal, Standard & Poor's lowered its ratings on
classes H-1, I-1, J-1 and K-1 to 'CC' on March 2, 2010.  Following
the erosion of the principal of the loan, a loss was incurred on
the principal of these four tranches on the trust payment date in
July 2010.  As a result, Standard & Poor's lowered its ratings on
the four classes to 'D' from 'CC'.

Standard & Poor's will continue to monitor the remaining six loans
and specified bonds backing this transaction (originally
representing about 87.8% of the initial issuance amount of the
trust certificates), with a focus on their repayment, the
performance of underlying collateral properties, and recoveries
from underlying properties.

L-JAC 7 is a multi-borrower CMBS transaction initially secured by
four specified bonds and four nonrecourse loans that were
originally extended to eight obligors.  The specified bonds and
nonrecourse loans were originally backed by 16 real estate
properties and real estate beneficial interests.  The transaction
was arranged by Lehman Brothers Japan Inc. Premier Asset
Management Co. is the transaction servicer.

The ratings reflect S&P's opinion of the likelihood of full and
timely payment of interest and the ultimate repayment of principal
by the transaction's legal final maturity date in 2014 for the
class A trust certificates and the trust loan, the full payment of
interest and ultimate repayment of principal by the legal final
maturity date for the class B to K-1 certificates, and the timely
payment of available interest for the class X certificates.

DAEWOO ENGINEERING: Second Qtr Net Profit Slumps 86% to KRW22BB
---------------------------------------------------------------
Yonhap News reports Daewoo Engineering & Construction Co. said
Tuesday that its second-quarter earnings dropped 86% from a year
earlier mainly due to a slump in the local construction market and
increased reserves against possible losses.

The company said its net profit reached KRW22 billion (US$18.6
million) in the April-June period, compared with a profit of
KRW161 billion a year earlier, Yonhap News relates.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
July 1, 2009, Kumho Asiana Group decided to put Daewoo Engineering
and Construction up for sale.  Kumho Asiana, which bought Daewoo
Engineering for US$5 billion three years ago, said it has not yet
determined the exact size of stake to be sold, the Financial Times
said.  The size of the sale would be designed to "minimize the
group's losses and to reduce a buyer's burden."  The announcement,
according to the FT, follows pressure on Kumho to raise money by
finding fresh investors in Daewoo by the end of July to ease a
liquidity crunch.  Kumho has a 33% stake in Daewoo with management
control while financial investors hold a further 39%.

HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR: Creditors Sell 4.14% Stake for US$493 Million
------------------------------------------------------------------
Saeromi Shin at Bloomberg News reports that Hynix Semiconductor
Inc. creditors on Tuesday sold a 4.14% stake in the world's
second-largest chipmaker at no discount, raising KRW584.5 billion
(US$493 million).

Bloomberg relates main lender Korea Exchange Bank said in a
statement that Hynix creditors sold 24.4 million shares at
KRW23,950 apiece, the stock's closing price on July 26, to
domestic and foreign institutional investors.

According to Bloomberg, Korea Exchange Bank said the group of nine
financial institutions, which is seeking to recoup the US$4.6
billion spent on bailing out Hynix owns 15% of the company after
the transaction.  The group has had difficulty in finding a buyer
for their shareholding, Bloomberg notes.

Bloomberg recalls that creditors sold a 6.7% stake in Hynix for
KRW923.2 billion in March after three failed attempts to sell
their entire holding.  They've said they'll continue looking for a
strategic purchaser.

Nomura Holdings Inc., Credit Suisse Group AG, Woori Investment &
Securities Co. and Shinhan Investment Corp. arranged the sale, the
report adds.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
June 7, 2010, Fitch Ratings upgraded Hynix Semiconductor's
Long-term foreign currency Issuer Default Rating to 'BB-' from
'B+'.  The Outlook has been revised to Stable from Negative.  At
the same time, the agency also upgraded the ratings of its
outstanding senior unsecured debt aggregating US$500m to 'BB-'
from 'B', and assigned a Long-term local currency IDR at 'BB-'.


TRIGEM COMPUTER: Bondholders Prevail in Earmarking Dispute
----------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to the earmarking doctrine, WestLaw reports, funds that
were transferred to a Chapter 11 corporate debtor by and through
arrangements made by the debtor's foreign parent for the specific
purpose of making a payment to the parent's bondholders were not
property of the debtor, as required for the trustee to avoid the
debtor's subsequent transfer of the funds to the bondholders as a
fraudulent transfer.  It did not matter that there was no written
agreement between the debtor and its parent as to how the funds
were to be used, given the parties' common understanding that the
debtor was to use the funds to make payment to bondholders.
Moreover, the fact that the transactions were designated by the
debtor and parent in their accounting records as pay-downs by the
parent on an intercompany receivable did not make the earmarked
amounts the debtor's funds.  The debtor owed a significantly
greater amount to its parent and thus was the net inter-company
debtor, such that the transfer would not have occurred absent the
parent's use of the debtor as a conduit to accomplish the
subsequent transfer to the bondholders.  In re Trigem America
Corp., --- B.R. ----, 2010 WL 2787855 (Bankr. C.D. Cal.) (Albert,
J.).

Keith F. Cooper, the Chapter 11 trustee for Trigem America
Corporation, sued (Bankr. C.D. Calif. Adv. Pro. No. 07-AP-01140)
six holders of zero-coupon convertible bonds issued by the debtor-
subsidiary's foreign corporate parent, TriGem Computer, Inc. (a
Korean computer manufacturer and publicly traded company on the
Korean Stock Exchange), in seeking to avoid allegedly fraudulent
prepetition transfer.  The parties cross-moved for summary
judgment, and Judge Albert granted and denied parts of those
motions.

After reviewing all of the declarations, deposition transcripts
and uncontradicted evidence presented in this matter, Judge Adler
concludes that no triable issue of material fact remains.  With
respect to all but $250,000 of the challenged transfer, Judge
Adler says, the trustee fails to prove that property of the debtor
was involved.  Instead, it appears to the Court that the bulk of
the challenged transfer was actually TGI's money and TGA acted
merely as a conduit.  Viewed from the perspective of TGA's
creditors, the creditors had no reasonable expectation of ever
seeing any of that money absent the challenged transfer and so it
is not equitable that they should recover it now through a
fraudulent transfer action.  The Court is persuaded that
earmarking has a role to play in fraudulent transfers as well as
preference actions, even in the Ninth Circuit.  Concerning the
$250,000 however, this was clearly TGA's money and the challenged
transfers were clearly made while the debtor was insolvent.  No
reasonably equivalent consideration was received in return for the
challenged transfer when viewed from the perspective of debtor's
creditors.

Japan / UK routes and capacity was increased by 10.0%* with the
load factor relatively flat at 79.1%.  In June last year Air New
Zealand reduced capacity in response to decreased demand as a
result of swine flu that predominantly impacted Asian markets.

CRAFAR FARMS: Asks Receivers to Hand Over Documents
---------------------------------------------------
Embattled dairy farmer Allan Crafar has lodged an application at
the High Court in Rotorua to force the receivers of his farms to
hand over a number of documents, the National Business Review
reports.

Mr. Crafar told the National Business Review on Tuesday that the
application for discovery of documents was lodged in an effort to
obtain information about how the receivership of his family's 16
dairy farms was being handled, including how decisions were being
made and who was making them.

                     Crafar Tenancy Agreement

The National Business Review reports that the Crafars were told to
hand over a tenancy agreement for their home.  According to NBR,
receiver Michael Stiassny of KordaMentha said the family was
saying they have a document that includes an arrangement to stay
on the property for life.

NBR relates Mr. Crafar said the tenancy agreement was between the
family and one of the family's companies, Plateau Farms, which
actually owned the house.

Mr. Crafar and five family members appeared in the High Court at
Rotorua on Tuesday to defend their right to remain on the
properties that went into receivership late last year, the New
Zealand Press Association reports.

NZPA says their appearance followed an application by the
receivers to remove Mr. Crafar, Jean Crafar, Frank Robert Crafar,
Heather Monro, Robert Scott Crafar and Layla Rebecca Robinson from
the properties.

NZPA notes that Associate Judge Anthony Christiansen told Mr.
Crafar he would need to get a lawyer before the group's next
appearance on August 23, because there was a lot of work yet to be
done.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
June 3, 2010, The New Zealand Herald said receivers KordaMentha
are trying to get a court order to remove Allan Crafar from his
Reporoa property, after he rejected an offer for six months' free
rent if he left the farm on April 9.  KordaMentha said Mr. Crafar,
as the director of Plateau Farms Limited (in receivership), no
longer controlled the properties and therefore had no legal right
to be living there.  Mr. Crafar has always maintained he would
defend any court action brought against him by receivers.

                    NZ$200 Million Debt Repayment

Meanwhile, the National Business Review reports that Crafar
interests have until August 6 to prove they have the money to
retire more than NZ$200 million of debt that led to receivers
KordaMentha being called in last October.

In addition, NZ$50,000 for security of costs needed to be made
available if an application for an injunction to stall the sale of
the farms was to proceed at the High Court in Auckland, according
to NBR.

                         About Crafar Farms

Crafar Farms, New Zealand's largest family owned dairy business,
runs about 20,000 milking cows, and carries about 10,000 of other
stock.  The company employs 200 staff.

Crafar Farms was placed in receivership by its lenders Westpac
Banking Corp., Rabobank Groep and PGG Wrightson Finance.  The
banks are owed around NZ$200 million and put KordaMentha partners
Michael Stiassny and Brendon Gibson in as receivers after Crafar
Farms breached covenants on its loans.

The New Zealand Herald said CraFarms' banks have been working with
the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Federated Farmers and
Fonterra to ease the Crafars out of their business.  This follows
multiple convictions for environmental lapses and animal neglect
in recent years and the revelation on September 28, 2009, from
interest.co.nz of animal neglect on one of its large farms in the
King Country near Benneydale.


STRATEGIC FINANCE: Perpetual Trust Appoints Liquidators
-------------------------------------------------------
Perpetual Trust Ltd. has appointed liquidators to failed finance
company Strategic Finance, the New Zealand Press Association
reports.  The High Court in Wellington made an order Monday that
Corporate Finance's John Cregten and Andrew McKay be appointed
liquidators.

The Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific reported on March 15,
2010, that PricewaterhouseCoopers partners John Fisk and Colin
McCloy were appointed receivers of Strategic Finance Limited and
related companies Strategic Advisory Limited, Strategic Mortgages
Limited, Strategic Nominees Limited, and Strategic Nominees
Australia Limited.  This ends the moratorium arrangement that has
been in place since December 2008.  The companies' trustee,
Perpetual Trust, appointed receivers after SFL failed to generate
sufficient loan recoveries for its milestone payment on January 7,
2010.  The company owed NZ$417 million to 13,000 investors.

NZPA relates Perpetual Trust head of corporate trust Matthew
Lancaster said liquidators had broader powers than receivers to
investigate transactions in the time leading up to receivership.
Specifically, Mr. Lancaster said if there were transactions the
liquidators thought were voidable for the period up to two years
before liquidation proceedings starting, they could try to have
those transactions overturned, according to NZPA.

PHILIPPINE AIRLINES: Annual Loss Narrows to US$14.3 Million
-----------------------------------------------------------
Philippine Airlines narrowed total comprehensive losses for its
fiscal year that ended March 2010 to $14.3 million, compared with
$297.8 million in losses during the previous fiscal year due
largely to weak demand in the international sector, BusinessWorld
Online reports.

BusinessWorld relates PAL said capacity cuts by global airlines
did not match the decline in passenger traffic, exerting pressure
on yields.  Because PAL lowered fares, revenues went down to $1.36
billion from $1.6 billion the previous year.

"Through prudent handling of resources, PAL's total expenses
dropped to $511.4 million, less than the previous year's $1.86
billion," PAL said.  The airline said the major factor for reduced
expenses was the huge drop in fuel prices to an average of $86.94
per barrel from $123.80 the year before.

PAL, as cited by BusinessWorld, also said it had generated "other
income" of $102.5 million after a fair valuation changes to
outstanding fuel deals and a one-time gain from debt buybacks.

Moving forward, PAL said it will strive to improve its financial
condition and results of operations.  BusinessWorld adds the
carrier said it had lined up and implemented various "revenue
enhancement" programs, cash generation strategies, and cost
control initiatives that includes outsourcing of three units.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
April 21, 2010, the Manila Bulletin said that the Philippine
Airlines is spinning off its three non-core units as a last resort
to avoid bankruptcy.  PAL will spin off its three non-core units:
inflight catering services; airport services, including ground
handling, cargo handling and ramp handling; and call center
reservations by May 31, the Manila Bulletin said.  According to
The Manila Standard Today, the PAL Employees Union estimated that
2,000 to 4,000 employees assigned to those departments could be
retired.  The Manila Standard related that PAL president Jaime
Bautista said competition from overseas carriers, slower global
economic growth, and higher oil prices had prompted the airline to
slash its non-core businesses.  The carrier had approached several
investors but failed to secure financial help, and equity had
dropped to a worrisome US$1.1 million as of February 2010,
according to the Manila Standard.

                         *********

Tuesday's edition of the TCR-AP delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-AP 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 Tuesday
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-AP constitutes an offer
or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind.  It is
likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR-AP editor holds
some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities
about which we report.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Wednesday's edition of the TCR-AP. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com

Friday's edition of the TCR-AP features a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on the
latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication.  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.
