CZECH AIRLINES: Citigroup Among Plane Purchase Financiers
---------------------------------------------------------
More than 10 parties are interested in financing the purchase of
12 Airbus aircraft by national air carrier Czech Airlines,
according to Prague Daily Monitor.

Prospective financiers, which include Citigroup, CSOB and
Komercni banka among others, submitted bids this week for the
CZK10-12.5 billion (US$404-US$504.8 million) tender, the report
said.

CSA is seeking the highest possible financing for the purchase
of Airbus 320s, if possible close to 100% of the expected price.
It wants the maximum interest at 10%, to be repaid over 12-15
years.  The funding must be available by February next year when
the first planes will be delivered.  Three planes will arrive in
2006, five in 2007, and four in 2008.  CSA's order is for six
126-seater Airbus 320s and six 135-seater A319s.  The purchase
will bring to 60 its current fleet of 50 planes by 2008.

The selection commission will announce the next steps of the
tender at the end of June.  It is expected to name a winner
after the summer holidays.

EUROTUNNEL SA: Combines Chairman, Chief Executive Posts
-------------------------------------------------------
During its meeting Monday, the Joint Board of Eurotunnel S.A.
decided to unify the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive of
the Eurotunnel Group and entrusted Jacques Gounon with this
mandate.

                            *   *   *

According to The Sunday Telegraph, board members Jean-Louis
Raymond, who quit as chief executive of Eurotunnel on Friday,
and Herve Huas, who stepped down as deputy chief executive in
April, were plotting to oust Mr. Gounon.

The two were reportedly joining forces with shareholder activist
Nicolas Miguet, who led the sacking of the firm's entire board
last year.

Mr. Huas had told the paper Mr. Raymond will become executive
chairman once Mr. Gounon is expelled.  He called Mr. Gounon's
plan to ask creditors to write off a big part of Eurotunnel's
GBP6.5 billion debt unsustainable.

AEG HAUSGERATE: Parent Mulls Nuremberg Site Closure
---------------------------------------------------
The future of AEG's main factory is in doubt, according to
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

The supervisory board of Electrolux, AEG's Swedish parent, asked
the group Friday to review the possibility of closing its
Nuremberg site, which employs around 1,750 people.  Management
downplayed it as only one of the options being considered to
revive the group's fortune.

At the meeting, AEG's management informed Electrolux's finance
committee of the group's difficulties in the European market,
especially in Germany.  The group revealed the Nuremberg site,
which has not been fully operating, has lost its competitiveness
after suffering from the current price war in the domestic
appliance market.  The group will meet again on June 20, though
it remains unknown whether the meeting would reveal the site's
future.

AEG's Nuremberg plant manufactured last year over 1.6 million
appliances, half of which were sold to the local market.  Part
of the world's largest domestic appliance group since 1994, AEG
has been one of the dominant brand names in Germany.  AEG
presents itself across Europe as a top brand for sophisticated,
performance-oriented consumer.

HEIDELBERGCEMENT AG: Confirms Spohn's Takeover Bid
--------------------------------------------------
HeidelbergCement AG has received an all-share takeover bid from
Spohn Cement GmbH at EUR60 per share.  According to the
Financial Times, Spohn Cement, an investment group linked to the
Merckle family, has valued the company at more than EUR6.5
billion.

Billionaire pharmaceuticals entrepreneur Adolf Merckle holds
12.8% of the firm directly, and 22.44% through Schwenk
Beteiligungen.  HeidelbergCement's other major investors are Axa
and Allianz.

In May, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook
on HeidelbergCement to positive from stable, reflecting
improvements in the group's credit position to date and further
expected improvements over the next 18 months.  At the same
time, the 'BB+' long-term and 'B' short-term corporate credit
ratings, and the ratings on all outstanding debt of
HeidelbergCement and its related entities were affirmed.

The company reported a loss last year due to a EUR647 million
exceptional charge, mainly related to the writedown of the value
of assets.  Operating losses in the first quarter was EUR35
million on revenue of EUR1.36 billion.  In March it closed a
EUR270 million rights issue.

"The outlook revision reflects our expectation that, despite
continued weak volumes in the German cement market,
HeidelbergCement will further strengthen its credit protection
measures, owing to improving pricing conditions and continued
growth in Eastern Europe," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Eve Greb.  "Management's focus on implementing efficiency
improvements and cost cutting is also expected to further
strengthen the group's performance."

S&P said the ratings on HeidelbergCement reflect the group's
moderately aggressive financial structure and the cement
industry's cyclicality and heavy capital intensiveness.  These
factors are offset by HeidelbergCement's large size, broad
geographical diversity, strong market positions, and sustained
ability to generate healthy funds from operations (FFO).  With
sales of EUR6.9 billion (US$9.3 billion) in 2004,
HeidelbergCement is the fourth-largest cement producer
worldwide.

"The ratings on HeidelbergCement would likely be raised should
the company continue strengthening its financial profile and
improve its FFO-to-net debt ratio (adjusted for operating leases
and after-tax unfunded pension liabilities) to a sustained 25%,"
said Ms. Greb.

NORDEX AG: Hits Record Order Intake in 2nd Quarter
--------------------------------------------------
With order receipts already valued at EUR123 million, Nordex
achieves its highest order intake in its 20-year history this
quarter.  Since April 1, 2005, customers from France, Portugal,
China and Germany have ordered a total of 78 turbines with a
combined output of 143.4 MW.  As a result, the Hamburg-based
wind turbine producer's order receipts have exceeded forecasts.

Spurred by strong customer demand, the sales target of over
EUR60 million for this quarter will be achieved, allowing Nordex
to operate close to the break-even threshold.  Nordex projects
further sales growth in the third and fourth quarters as well as
quarterly profit.

The orders received from Portugal and France entail a total of
30 Nordex N90/2300 kW and 8 N60/1300 kW turbines.  China has
ordered 20 N60 turbines, while orders have been received from
within Germany for ten N90 and ten S70/1500 kW turbines.

                            *   *   *

The Nordex Group is one of the world's leading suppliers of wind
turbines.  It has 689 employees and assets of EUR186.382 million
as of Dec. 31, 2004.  It has bank debt of EUR37.566 million (as
of 2004) and tax liabilities of EUR3.356 million as of 2004.

It blamed weak capacity utilization as the primary reason for
its operating losses in the stub fiscal year.  The company had
consolidated cumulative loss of EUR33.457 million for the period
Oct. 1, 2003 to Sept. 30, 2004.  To reinforce its equity and
debt capital situation on a sustained basis, Nordex is
implementing a comprehensive recapitalization plan.  It projects
return to profit by 2006.

WCM GROUP: Merger with Klockner-Werke on Track
----------------------------------------------
WCM Beteiligungs- und Grundbesitz-AG on Thursday successfully
concluded this year's Annual General Meeting.  More than 700
participants followed the event in the Old Opera House in
Frankfurt.  Those in attendance accounted for 25.23% of the
share capital.  Approval for each of the items on the agenda was
at more than 85%.

The Chairman of the Management Board, Roland Flach, explained
that the radical reduction of the Group's liabilities due to
banks, the disposal of Residential Property in 2004 and the
settlement with the SIRIUS banks in the second quarter of this
year had been major steps towards stabilizing the Group.

"Our goal is still to merge WCM and Klockner-Werke.  All the
preparations for this have been made, the administration of the
two groups has already been combined," stated the Chairman of
the Management Board, Roland Flach.

A material obstacle to a rapid implementation of the fusion
plans is the as yet unresolved discussion with the tax
authorities on the tax receivable arising from a contested
transaction in 1997.  WCM is confident that it will be able to
bring these proceedings to a positive conclusion for the
Company.

The actions of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board
were clearly approved.  Similarly, the proposal by the
Supervisory Board to elect Mr. Rainer Laufs, former chairman of
the committee of managing directors of Deutsche Shell AG and Dr.
Jochen Melchior, former CEO of Steag AG, to the Supervisory
Board was also accepted.

The authorization to acquire own shares resolved by the Annual
General Meeting on June 9, 2004 expires on December 8, 2005.
The proposed resolution to authorize the Management Board of WCM
AG to acquire own shares again was approved with around 92% of
the vote.

The proposed resolution to create new capital was approved with
a rate of more than 90%.  Items 7 and 8 on the agenda were
struck at short notice.  The administration is of the opinion
that it is not realistic to expect that the Corporate Integrity
and Modernisation of the Right of Avoidance Bill (UMAG) will
become effective in light of the German parliamentary elections
expected in autumn.

Further changes to the Articles of Association were approved
with around 97% of the vote.  HANSA PARTNER GmbH
Wirtschaftsprfungsgesellschaft, Hamburg, was appointed as the
auditor for the financial year 2005 with 92%.

As there is still doubt as to the legality of the resolutions
adopted by the Annual General Meeting in 2004, these were
repeated and each was approved by more than 86% of the vote.

ALITALIA SPA: Auditor Finally Certifies 2004 Accounts
-----------------------------------------------------
Auditor Deloitte & Touche finally certified the 2004 results of
troubled national carrier Alitalia, a week after the European
Commission approved its restructuring plan, La Stampa says.

The certification allows Alitalia to claim in its financial
report that it is a going concern.  Deloitte refused last year
to certify Alitalia's 2003 accounts, citing uncertainty on the
carrier's ability to continue operating.  At that time, the
European Commission had yet to approve Alitalia's restructuring
plan, which assures its continuity.

Alitalia's shareholders will meet on June 28 to approve the
accounts.

IMPREGILO SPA: Banks Agree to Underwrite Capital Increase
---------------------------------------------------------
Troubled construction group Impregilo took another step forward
in its restructuring, reaching an agreement with banks to
underwrite its EUR650 million capital hike, Il Sole 24 Ore says.

Impregilo, along with key shareholders Gemina and the Igli
consortium, signed the agreement with Caboto, a Banca Intesa
unit; Banca IMI, a division of Sanpaolo IMI; Unicredito Banca
Mobiliare, an arm of Unicredito Italiano; and Efibanca, a part
of Banca Popolare di Lodi.

Prior to the agreement, Impregilo was able to secure a EUR500
million seven-year loan from three local banks.  The group has
also rescheduled the repayment of EUR200.3 million in short-term
loans, which the builder must now repay within five years.

These recent developments caused Impregilo's share price to rise
by 6.5% to EUR7.05 Sunday, proof that investors are again
confident about the company's future.

AKER KVAERNER: Rating Upgraded from B1 to Ba3
---------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service raised the ratings of Aker Kvaerner
Oil & Gas Group and its subsidiary Aker Kvaerner A.S. primarily
to reflect the strong recovery in profitability and cash flow
generation of the ring-fenced oil and gas group over the past
four quarters, coupled with the clear reduction in senior debt,
repaid from internally generated funds.

Ratings affected:

(a) Aker Kvaerner Oil & Gas Group A.S.

     (i) Senior implied rating raised from B1 to Ba3,

    (ii) Issuer rating of B3 withdrawn, in line with Moody's
         announced policy to discontinue the use of issuer
         ratings; and

(b) Aker Kvaerner A.S.

    Rating of the 2nd priority lien notes due 2011 Raised from
    B2 to Ba3.

The outlook on all ratings is raised to positive from stable.

The Ba3 senior implied rating is based on the significant and
hitherto sustained increase in operating margins achieved in
2004 and during the first quarter of 2005, underpinned by the
improved cost base, operating structure, working capital
management and successful headcount rationalization initiative.
Furthermore, the continuing upswing in the oil and gas industry
cycle has given rise to higher volumes of capital project
spending by oil and gas companies, which has in turn boosted the
group's order in-take and backlog.

The financial structure of the ring-fenced group has improved
markedly, following the repayment of all senior borrowings from
internally generated funds, since the initial rating assignment
in March 2004.  This reduction in bank debt along with the
increase in operating cash flow generation has improved coverage
and debt leverage metrics significantly.

The elimination of a one notch differential between the senior
implied rating and that of the 2nd lien notes reflects Moody's
expectation that there will be minimal additional priority debt
incurred that would rank ahead of the notes in the near and
medium term, given the rising cash flow generation, sizable
accumulated cash balance and management's stated intention to
make only modest bolt-on opportunistic acquisitions going
forward.  Furthermore, the likelihood of cash leakage out of the
ring-fenced oil and gas group structure into the wider Aker
Kvaerner group is low as a result of contractual limitations on
upstream dividend payments to the ultimate parent company, Aker
Kvaerner A.S.A. (maximum of 50% of the oil and gas group's
annual net profit) and limitations on asset sales, permitted
investments and permitted liens.

Despite the aforementioned operational and financial
improvements, the ratings continue to be constrained by the
following more challenging issues: (i) the high embedded
implementation risk associated with the complexity of a large
number of the group's projects; (ii) the cyclical nature of the
oil and gas services industry; (iii) the relatively low overall
operating margins of Aker Kvaerner Oil & Gas Group when compared
with those of its competitors in some of the higher margin
business areas, offset in part by business mix considerations;
(iv) the continuing high exposure to business predominantly
sourced from the North Sea Continental Shelf, although
recognizing that the company is making good progress in
diversifying contracts; (v) the limited prospect of further
gross debt de-leveraging as a result of the non-call feature of
the 2nd lien notes until June 2007.

The positive outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the oil
and gas group will continue to maintain and improve upon the
increased profitability and cash flow generation seen to date
since the second quarter of 2004, buoyed by the rationalized
cost base and positive market momentum.

What Could Drive the Ratings Up

Further upward rating pressure could result from the group
demonstrating that the improved profitability margins as well as
coverage and leverage metrics are sustainable.  Specific rating
upgrade triggers in the short term would include maintenance of
stable profit margins, in particular an EBIT margin within the
4% range, a sustainable leverage ratio as measured by reference
to a ratio of Adjusted RCF pre working capital/Net Adj.  Debt in
the mid 30% range and the ability to generate free cash flow
during the up-cycle phase, with no incurrence of significant
additional priority debt.

What Could Drive the Ratings Down

Downward rating pressure would result from negative developments
such as: (i) a fall in profitability to similar weak levels seen
in 2003 (EBIT margin 2.3%, EBITDA margin 3.5%); (ii) reduced
cash flow generation resulting in a fall in the RCF/Net Adj.
Debt ratio of below 15%; (iii) incurrence of significant
additional priority debt ranking ahead of the notes.

Company Summary

Aker Kvaerner Oil & Gas Group A.S. is an international oil and
gas service provider and a subsidiary of the listed Aker
Kvaerner A.S.A., which is in turn owned 50,01% by Aker A.S.A.,

has operations in over 20 countries with the majority of it
activities carried out in Norway, the U.K. and the U.S.A.  The

and the Middle East.  In 2004 the ring-fenced oil and gas group
generated revenues of NOK22.65 billion and EBITDA of NOK1.128
billion.

ELEKTRIM SA: ZE PAK Reports US$28.430 Million Loss
--------------------------------------------------
The Zespol Elektrowni Patnow-Adamow-Konin (ZE PAK) power plants,
owned by Elektrim S.A., reported adjusted consolidated loss of
over PLN95 million (US$28.430 million) in 2004.

The amount differs considerably from Elektrim's consolidated
financial figures, Warsaw Business Journal said.  The report did
not say how much was recorded in Elektrim's book.

Meanwhile, both ZE PAK's management board and supervisory board
have accepted a plan to lay off 240 people despite opposition
from the labor union.  The redundancies are related to a planned
reduction in production powers.  PAK's union, which is
threatening to go on strike, insists the move violates the
privatization agreement.

FSO: Govt Inks Preliminary Deal with Ukraine's AwtoZAZ
------------------------------------------------------
The Polish government proceeded with the sale of its 20% stake
in FSO to AwtoZAZ despite questions raised over the latter's
financial standing.

The two have signed a preliminary deal for the transfer of the
stake, PAP news agency reported, citing deputy treasury minister
Dariusz Witkowski.  The government, though, will still examine
AwtoZAZ's financial position before signing a definitive
agreement.  It plans to do so by the end of June.

Last year, it was reported that AwtoZAZ had started buying FSO's
debt from creditor banks.  Some US$8 million have already been
bought, according to Millennium Bank.

FSO's troubles started after Daewoo Motor went belly up in 2001
and worsened during the Polish car market slump in 2003.
General Motors Corp. took over Daewoo Motor in 2002, but Daewoo-
FSO was excluded from the transaction.

FSO is a large Polish producer of passenger cars and other
mechanical vehicles, trailers, spare parts and accessories.  It
is located in Warsaw and employs more than 3,000 people.  Its
bank creditors are Millennium Bank, Bank Pekao, BPH PBK, Bank
Handlowy, ING Bank Slaski and Kredyt Bank.  Debt to the banks
was PLN591 million as of 2003.  The loans are secured by assets.

EURAMAX HOLDINGS: Secured Credit Facilities Rated B1
----------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 rating to Euramax
Holdings, Inc.'s (Euramax) proposed first lien senior secured
credit facilities (borrowers include Euramax Holdings, Inc. (a
U.S. wholly owned subsidiary of Euramax International, Inc.) and
various European subsidiaries), and a B3 rating to Euramax
Holdings, Inc.'s proposed second lien senior secured term loan.

Moody's also assigned Euramax Holdings, Inc. a B1 senior implied
rating.  The ratings consider the substantial increase in debt
that will result from Goldman Sachs Capital Partners and Euramax
management's (the equity sponsors) purchase of the company from
its current owners for approximately US$1.04 billion (over 8
times multiple based on reported EBITDA of US$121 million for
the LTM ended April 1, 2005).  The transaction is expected to
close in June.  The rating outlook is stable.  This rating
action completes a review that was initiated on April 13, 2005.

Moody's did not assign a rating to Euramax International, Inc.'s
proposed US$110 million senior unsecured PIK notes.  Moody's
will withdraw Euramax's existing ratings upon completion of the
transaction.  These summarizes the ratings activity:

Ratings Assigned:

(a) Euramax Holdings, Inc. and co-issuer Euramax International
    Holdings B.V.:

     (i) Guaranteed first lien senior secured tranche B term
         loan, US$255 million due 2012 -- B1,

    (ii) Guaranteed second lien senior secured term loan, $255
         million due 2013 -- B3;

(b) Euramax Holdings Limited (U.K.), Euramax Europe B.V.,
    Euramax Netherlands B.V.:

    Guaranteed first lien senior secured tranche B term loan,
    US$130 million due 2012 -- B1;

(c) Euramax Holdings, Inc., co-issuer Euramax International
    Holdings B.V., Euramax Holdings Limited (U.K.), Euramax
    Europe B.V., Euramax Netherlands B.V.:

    Guaranteed first lien senior secured revolving credit
    facility, $80 million due 2011 -- B1; and

(d) Euramax Holdings, Inc.: Senior Implied -- B1.

Ratings to be Withdrawn:

Euramax International, Inc.:

(a) US$200 million guaranteed senior subordinated notes due
    2011 - B2,

(b) Senior Implied -- Ba3,

(c) Senior Unsecured Issuer Rating -- B1

The B1 senior implied rating reflects Moody's belief that
Euramax is increasing financial leverage during an upturn in
certain of its end-markets for recreational vehicles (RV) and
building products and that any prospective weakening of these
markets, without materials reduction in debt, would challenge
the company's ability to maintain pro forma credit metrics
consistent with a higher rating level.  Compounding this concern
is the company's exposure to volatile aluminum and steel prices,
which have resulted in working capital volatility and some
operating margin pressure.

Nevertheless, Moody's acknowledges that Euramax derives a
significant portion of its revenues from less cyclical
refurbishment/maintenance based products as opposed to those
based on new residential construction.  The ratings are also
supported by Moody's expectation that favorable demand trends
should continue within the commercial and residential
construction end-markets through 2005.  However, over the near-
term, Moody's is somewhat concerned that higher interest rates
could reverse favorable trends within its RV end-market.

The ratings reflect Euramax's high leverage with pro forma debt
to reported LTM EBITDA of 5.3 times (6.2 times including the
senior unsecured PIK notes); the company's sizable customer
concentration with its top ten customers accounting for 28% of
2004 sales, although recognizing that these customers have had
long relationships with the company; and the likelihood for
acquisitions as the company seeks to consolidate the fragmented
roof drainage market.

Moody's believes it is critical that Euramax focus on de-
leveraging in the near-term to reduce its vulnerability to any
future weakness in its end-markets, although the rating agency
recognizes that the company is likely to devote a portion of its
future cash flow to acquisitions.  The ratings are supported by
Euramax's number one position in niche markets such as roof
drainage products for home centers and aluminum RV siding; the
company's ability to service U.S. home center customers
nationally; long-standing relationships with key aluminum and
steel suppliers; low maintenance capital expenditure
requirements of less than US$5 million annually; and its
variable cost structure as close to 70% of costs are related to
raw materials.

The B1 senior implied rating is also based on Moody's
expectation that Goldman Sachs Capital Partners will
contractually agree not to sell or redeem the $110 million
senior unsecured PIK notes, and that bank consent would be
required for any modification to that contractual provision.
Additionally, Moody's stated that the B1 senior implied rating
is provisioned on anticipated language (not yet drafted) in the
first lien bank agreement that would prohibit a call/redemption
of the senior unsecured PIK notes without bank consent.

The notching of the first lien senior secured credit facilities
(B1) at the level of the senior implied rating reflects the very
modest amount of tangible assets relative to pro forma first
lien senior secured debt and the significant proportion of first
lien senior secured debt in the capital structure.  The first
lien credit facilities will have a collateral allocation
mechanism (CAM), whereby lenders would share in a pro-rata
distribution of European and U.S. collateral in a bankruptcy
scenario.  Assuming lenders fulfill their contractual obligation
to effect the CAM, the European and U.S. lenders should rank
equally with respect to the distribution of collateral.  The
rating of all first lien debt at the B1 level assumes the
enforceability of the CAM.  To the extent that lenders breach
their contractual obligations under the CAM, Moody's believes
that the European first lien lenders would be significantly
advantaged over the U.S. first lien lenders due to the
disproportionate level of profit derived from the European
assets (accounted for 42% of 2004 EBIT) relative to European
debt levels.

The B3 rating of the second lien senior secured term loan
reflects its contractual subordination to a significant amount
of first lien senior secured debt and very weak collateral
support.  All of the above ratings are contingent upon the
receipt of final documentation.

The ratings are supported by Euramax's strong operating
performance in 2004 with positive demand trends continuing into
the beginning of 2005.  The company has particularly benefited
from strong demand for RV siding in Europe and metal
roofing/siding for rural construction, although volumes of
aluminum and steel shipped have generally increased across most
segments.

In 2005, Moody's anticipates that Euramax will generate free
cash flow of around $40 million, implying a FCF to debt of 6.3%,
which is reasonable for the B1 ratings category.  This amount
would reflect higher capital expenditures to support expansion
of the company's distribution network and new product
introductions as well as a partial year of higher interest
expense.  This free cash flow amount would only reflect a
partial year of pro forma interest expense, which increases to
approximately $53 million from $24 million.  Free cash flow
variability is primarily dependent on the impact of raw material
pricing on working capital.

The company's ability to maintain relatively stable conversion
margins is supported by its ability to easily pass on base price
increases to its RV, smaller contactor and distributor customers
(which combined account for approximately 72% of total
revenues).  However, the company faces longer lag times from its
home center customers (approximately 21% of revenues) and
maintaining stable conversion margins becomes challenging when
aluminum and steel prices are volatile.

Pro forma for the transaction, Euramax will have $10 million of
cash and the full $80 million available under its revolving
credit facility.  Moreover, Moody's does not expect any material
draws under the revolving credit facility through 2005.  The
company has a favorable debt maturity profile as the first lien
term loans amortize in installments of only 1% per year until
maturity.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Euramax's
debt to EBITDA (excluding the senior unsecured PIK notes) will
decline below 5.0 times over the next year and that the company
will generate free cash flow to debt of at least 5%.  The
ratings could be upgraded if the company maintains a free cash
flow to debt closer to 10% while maintaining a debt to EBITDA
lower than 4.5 times.  Conversely, the company's ratings could
come under pressure should a decline in operating performance or
margin pressure result in leverage increasing beyond 6.0 times
or negative free cash flow, or if the company pursues a large
debt financed acquisition.

Headquartered in Norcross, Georgia, Euramax International Inc.
is an international producer of value-added aluminum, steel,
vinyl and fiberglass products.  The company reported revenues of
US$1.0 billion for the LTM ended April 1st, 2005.

FEDERAL-MOGUL: Seeks Consulting Services for 12 Facilities
----------------------------------------------------------
A.T. Kearney, Inc. has provided Federal-Mogul Corporation and
its debtor-affiliates with consulting services in two phases.
Phase I was performed in 2003 at the Court's direction and free
of charge to the Debtors.  In Phase II, the Debtors sought and
obtained permission from the Bankruptcy Court to employ A.T.
Kearney to provide cost-saving initiatives to the Debtors' other
manufacturing facilities through Waves I, II, III and IV.  A.T.
Kearney's services in Phase II were no longer for free.

Specifically, A.T. Kearney introduced cost savings initiatives
at 52 plants through Waves I, II and III.  In Wave IV, A.T.
Kearney implemented follow-up procedures to some of the plants
in Waves I, II and III.

The Debtors and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
ask the Court to allow A.T. Kearney to implement follow-up
procedures at 12 of the Debtors' facilities, in which an
Operating Asset Effectiveness initiative has already been
implemented.

Scotta E. McFarland, Esq., at Pachulski, Stang, Ziehl, Young,
Jones & Weintraub, P.C., in Wilmington, Delaware, relates that
A.T. Kearney will provide services that are identical to the
follow-up services it performed in Wave IV.  Of the 70 plants in
Waves I, II, III and IV, nine will require additional follow-up
support.  The remaining three are plants in Wave V that the
Debtors expect will need additional follow-up support.

The Debtors will also be implementing Wave V of the OAE rollouts
and instituting OAE at a number of additional plants, Ms.
MacFarland says.

             Operating Asset Effectiveness Methodology

The OAE methodology involves identifying inefficiencies,
determining the root cause of the problems resulting in
inefficiencies, and identifying solutions to resolve those
problems.

The "achieve and sustain" follow-up for 12 identified plants in
Waves I, II, III, IV and V is designed to maximize the
likelihood that the plants will realize the identified savings
opportunities and sustain the improved processes without the
need for further outside support.  The 12 plants represent 15%
of the plants that have undergone or will undergo OAE
implementation in Waves I, II, III, IV and V.

Ms. McFarland says there are three main causes for the risk that
the plants will not realize the complete cost savings possible:

    (1) Implementation of the rollouts was very rapid, with only
        a 12-week learning cycle;

    (2) Many of the processes introduced were completely new to
        the Plants; and

    (3) Because the Debtors' management has experienced some
        natural turnover, many of the personnel at the
        facilities have changed roles or been replaced since the
        start of the rollout.

A.T. Kearney estimated that the "achieve and sustain" follow-up
for the targeted plants will last 12 weeks.

A.T. Kearney has classified the necessary support level of each
plant as either highest or high.  The four highest-risk plants
will have two full-time external resource teams, each consisting
of two A.T. Kearney employees, dedicated to the four plants.
The eight high-risk plants will have two full-time external
resource teams, consisting of either two or three A.T. Kearney
employees, dedicated to the eight plants.

The achieve and sustain support follow-up will address three
main areas:

    (1) The follow-up will focus on process compliance by
        visiting the plants' steering committee meetings and
        ensuring through process checklists that the critical
        elements of the process improvement are followed;

    (2) The extent to which the plant improvement plans have
        been successful will be evaluated and the plant
        improvement plans will be modified to address any gaps
        in performance; and

    (3) Potential for new savings will be identified.

The ultimate goal of the risk reduction follow-up is to ensure
that the process is sustained without the need for ongoing

LUMINAR PLC: Sells 49 Nightclubs for GBP27 Million
--------------------------------------------------
Luminar plc has entered into an agreement to sell its
subsidiary, Candu Entertainment Limited, comprising 49
nightclubs that formed the major part of its Enterprise
Division.

The sale is to a management team led by Tim Roberts, Managing
Director, and Craig Grant, Finance Director, of the purchasing
vehicle.  The management team is backed by Close Brothers
Private Equity LLP.

The total consideration payable for the sale of Candu is GBP27.2
million in cash, including deferred consideration of GBP0.75
million.

In the year to 28 February 2005 the businesses being sold
generated turnover of GBP45.6 million, EBITDA of GBP5.7 million
and Operating profit of GBP3 million before administrative
costs.  The net assets on a consolidated group basis
attributable to Candu were GBP27 million.

Luminar's stated strategy is to develop a portfolio of branded,
high quality and strategically important venues, which will
occupy the leading trading positions within their local markets.
In order to allow the Company to focus on implementing this
strategy and to apply the appropriate management approach to the
branded and unbranded estate, it ring fenced fence 63 non-core
units from the branded estate operating as its Enterprise
Division.

Of the original 63 units referred to above, 12 units have been
disposed of for a consideration of GBP12.2 million (including
future rents valued at GBP1.5million) and it is planned to
dispose of two further units separately.  Since the
establishment of the Enterprise Division in November 2003 it has
generated operating cash flow of approximately GBP11 million.

The proceeds of the disposal will be used to strengthen
Luminar's balance sheet and to develop Luminar's core nightclub
business.

Luminar has also announced a Strategic Review of its
Entertainment Division and has indicated that it will provide an
update on progress with this before the end of July.

Stephen Thomas, Chief Executive of Luminar plc, said: "We wish
the Candu business and its management team well for the future.
This sale effectively completes our successful exit from the
businesses in the Enterprise Division.  It will allow management
to focus on the key steps in Luminar's strategy of developing
the branded estate and consolidating its position as the leading
operator in the late night market."

                            *   *   *

The firm has suffered from changes in customer demand and what
it termed as 'increased regulatory activity' after 2003.

Chief executive Stephen Thomas said management intends to
develop "bigger, more versatile venues that can stage a series
of special events."

In the 52 weeks to Feb. 27, Luminar reported group sales of
GBP399.7 million, down from GBP375.1 million; and profit before
tax, goodwill amortization, and exceptional items of GBP54.2
million, down from GBP62 million last year.  Pre-tax loss was
GBP14 million from GBP11 million last year.

ROYAL & SUNALLIANCE: Corvus Considers Takeover
----------------------------------------------
Corvus Capital, the investment unit of financier Andrew Regan,
on Monday played down interest in taking over insurer Royal &
SunAlliance.

"Considerations in relation to R&SA are at a preliminary stage
and there can be no guarantee that any offer will be
forthcoming," it said in a statement.  Royal & SunAlliance said
it did not receive any approach, nor is it involved in related
discussions.

The country's second-biggest commercial insurer after Aviva is
valued at about GBP2.4 billion, according to The Scotsman.

The company was exposed to takeover speculations after a radical
restructuring led by chief executive Andy Haste last year.  The
shakeup was necessary after R&SA was hit by mounting claims and
weak investments.  The company improved its risk profile, but it
has not yet totally eliminated the threat of potentially large
claims in the U.S.  Analysts say this might dampen interest of
prospective buyer.

Neil Manser, analyst with Fox-Pitt, Kelton, thinks a Corvus
takeover is unlikely considering it has indicated a preference
for "proven stable and strong cash generating business."

SALTON INC.: Recalls 100,000 Coffee makers from Sears Stores
------------------------------------------------------------
Salton, Inc., is voluntarily recalling approximately 100,000
Kenmore(R) 12-Cup Percolator, Model No. KCP12, manufactured for
Salton by Chiaphua Industries Limited, and distributed only
through Sears due to a risk that the Percolator may leach lead.
Lead exposure may cause injury to pregnant women.  Salton, Inc.,
says it has not received any inquiries or complaints about the
Percolator.

The affected Percolators are the Kenmore(R) 12-Cup Percolators,
Model No. KCP12 shipped in limited quantities only during the
period between July 2001 and April 2004.  The affected
Percolators were sold in the United States through Sears stores
during that same period of time.

                       Liquidity Problems

Salton, which makes a wide variety of kitchen appliances,
including George Foreman grills, has $125 million of 10-3/4%
senior subordinated notes coming due in December.  Salton
doesn't have the cash to make the payment.  Silver Point Finance
LLC provides the company with working capital financing under
the terms of an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as
of May 9, 2003.  Salton Europe, Limited, the Company's wholly
owned subsidiary, obtains working capital financing under an
agreement with Hong Kong Shanghai Bank.

Salton has retained Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin for financial
advice.

Third Point LLC, a large holder of Salton debt, has joined with
other bondholders, and retained legal counsel and financial
advisors, according to a report from Harris Rubinroit at
Bloomberg News.

                       About Salton, Inc.

Salton, Inc. is a leading designer, marketer and distributor of
branded, high quality small appliances, home decor and personal
care products.  Our product mix includes a broad range of small

strong market position results from its well-known brand names,
high quality and innovative products, strong relationships with
customer base and focused outsourcing strategy.

                         *     *     *

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has lowered its corporate
rating on small appliance manufacturer Salton Inc. to 'CCC' from
'CCC+', and lowered its subordinated debt rating to 'CC' from
'CCC-'.

The outlook on Lake Forest, Illinois-based Salton is negative.
Total debt outstanding as of October 2, 2004, was $490.0
million.

"The downgrade is based on Salton's increasingly constrained
liquidity and lower prospects for improving profitability for
the upcoming Christmas selling season," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Martin S. Kounitz.  The ratings reflect Salton's
weak liquidity, a result of increasingly challenging conditions
in the small appliance market.
