OSKAR MOBIL: S&P to Withdraw Rating After Debt Redemption
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that its 'B' long-term
corporate credit ratings on Oskar Mobil a.s. and parent Oskar
Holdings N.V. (collectively 'Oskar') will remain on CreditWatch,
where they were placed with positive implications March 15,
2005.

The CreditWatch update follows the announcement by the company
that it has exercised its right to redeem Oskar Mobil's EUR325
million notes due 2011.  Vodafone Group plc acquired Oskar Mobil
from Telesystem International Wireless Inc. on May 31, 2005, and
Oskar provided a redemption notice to noteholders on June 7,
2005.  In addition to the notes, Oskar Mobil has a partially
drawn EUR250 million equivalent senior secured bank facility,
which is expected to be repaid on June 30.

"Once the credit facility is repaid and the notes redeemed, all
ratings including the long-term corporate credit rating will be
withdrawn, which is expected by mid-July," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Joe Morin.

CAP GEMINI: Proposed Convertible Bond Get 'BB+' Rating
------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB+' senior
unsecured debt rating to French IT services group Cap Gemini
S.A.'s proposed EUR380 million (US$459 million) convertible bond
issue due January 2012.  At the same time, the 'BB+' long-term
corporate credit rating on the group was affirmed.  The outlook
is negative.

"Cap Gemini's new and existing convertible bond issues, and its
EUR600 million revolving credit facility, all rank pari passu
and are all rated at the same level as the corporate credit
rating, despite significant structural subordination, on the
basis of the parent company's, Cap Gemini S.A.'s, good balance-
sheet position," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Patrice
Cochelin.

"The proceeds from the bond issue will be used to improve the
group's liquidity," he added.

At Dec. 31, 2004, Cap Gemini had about EUR850 million (gross) of
on-balance-sheet debt.

The rating on Cap Gemini continues to reflect the group's below-
peer-average profitability and ongoing restructuring challenges,
which are partly offset by a prudent financial profile and
policies.

Mr. Cochelin continued, "The negative outlook on Cap Gemini
primarily reflects the number of challenges and execution risks
facing the group's management."

The corporate credit rating on the group could be lowered by one
notch if Cap Gemini's liquidity -- currently good -- weakens
materially.  Conversely, confirmation of an improvement in the
group's operating performance, in particular through the
turnaround of loss-making operations, would likely enable a
return to a stable outlook.

SUNN SA: New Owner Promises to Expand Business Abroad
-----------------------------------------------------
A consortium led by Copernic Industrie has acquired troubled
bicycle maker Sunn S.A., Les Echos says.

Financial details were still scant as of this writing, but Les
Echos says the buyers pledged to pour in EUR700,000 into Sunn
and retain 23 of its 50 employees.  The company will now be
known as Manufacture de Cycles du Comminge.

To show that new management is intent on repairing its tattered
business, Copernic chief Patrick Tanguy signed distribution
deals in Slovenia and Poland.  He plans to expand Sunn's
business abroad, particularly Japan.

Founded in 1989, Sunn designs, develops and assembles BMX, MTB,
SUV and Road bikes.  Internationally known for producing
champions in the cycling arena, Sunn posted EUR5.5 million in
turnover and sold 8,000 units in 2004.  The company filed for
liquidation in January, but this was not the first time the
company hit a bumpy road; it also filed for bankruptcy in 1999.

HEIDELBERGCEMENT AG: Ratings Under Review for Possible Downgrade
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed HeidelbergCement's senior
implied and all related Ba1 ratings on review for possible
downgrade following the announcement of a take-over bid from
Spohn Cement GmbH.

Given the limited public information available and the
uncertainties surrounding the structure of the take-over bid the
rating review will focus on the post transaction capital
structure of HeidelbergCement, the strategic intentions of the
new owner, potential changes in the distribution policy going
forward, and the status of the bonds within the new capital
structure.  Moody's notes, however, that the management of Spohn
has already indicated to support the strategy of
HeidelbergCement's management.

Moody's recognizes the improved business fundamentals of the
company and would likely confirm the current rating if the
uncertainties were removed and it became clear that there will
not be any fundamental change in the financing strategy.  At
this stage, Moody's does not anticipate a material change in the
leverage profile.

The current rating reflects: (1) the expectation of Moody's that
HeidelbergCement's profitability will further improve in the
current financial year based on the improved business
environment in Germany and the expected implementation of
further cost savings measures; (2) reduced adjusted indebtedness
coupled with increased retained cash flows, even taking into
account a strongly increased budget for capital expenditure and
acquisitions; and (3) HeidelbergCement's successful rights issue
in March 2005 with the proceeds thereof used to pay down debt.

Moody's considers HeidelbergCement's liquidity profile prior to
the announcement to be sufficient to cover all financing needs
for the upcoming 12 months.  Moody's also notes that
HeidelbergCement has already initiated steps to reduce the
refinancing risks associated with the EUR1 billion bond maturing
in 2007.  An assessment of future liquidity arrangements,
including committed bank facilities, will also form part of the
review process.

Ratings put on review for a possible downgrade:

HeidelbergCement AG:

(a) Issuer rating and senior unsecured MTN: Ba1,

(b) Senior implied rating: Ba1,

(c) Senior unsecured debt: Ba1

HeidelbergCement Finance B.V.:

(a) Senior debt guaranteed by HeidelbergCement: Ba1,

(b) Senior unsecured MTN: Ba1,

(c) Senior notes guaranteed by HeidelbergCement: Ba1

HeidelbergCement Financial Services AB:

(a) Senior debt guaranteed by HeidelbergCement: Ba1,

(b) Senior notes guaranteed by HeidelbergCement: Ba1

HeidelbergCement AG, headquartered in Heidelberg, Germany, was
founded in 1873 and is publicly traded.  The company produces
cement as well as building materials and building chemicals.
The group's fiscal 2004 revenue amounted to EUR6.9 billion.

NABI RT: Russell Richardson Chairman to Oversee Restructuring
-------------------------------------------------------------
NABI Rt.'s Board of Directors has elected Russell Richardson as
its Chairman on June 13, 2005.  Mr. Richardson is founder and
Chairman of Optare Holdings Ltd. and has over 35 years of
experience in the bus industry.  He has been serving on NABI
Rt.'s Board of Directors since 2000.

                            *   *   *

As reported in TCR-Europe on May 31, J. Daniel Garrett, NABI
Rt.'s Chief Financial Officer and NABI Inc.'s interim Chief
Executive Officer resigned effective June 30, 2005 in relation
to the company's restructuring.

At the time Nabi said Mr. Garrett's responsibilities will be
assumed by Chief Executive Officer and President, Andy Racz and
a Director of the Board of both NABI Rt. and NABI Inc., Russell
Richardson, with assistance from the company's advisers, Conway
Del Genio Gries & Co., LLC.

In May, Nabi Rt agreed in principle with its financiers on the
restructuring of its approximately US$103 million short-term
debt and other banking facilities.

Under the agreement in principle, the financiers have agreed to
reduce their debt to US$60 million, with a portion of such
reduction converted to equity in the form of the financiers
acquiring a 90% equity interest in NABI Inc. (NABI Rt.'s main
operating subsidiary) and up to a 33% equity interest in NABI
Rt.  The reduced debt will be classified as long term and have
maturities ranging from 5 to 8 years.  All warrants formerly
issued by NABI Rt. to the financiers will be cancelled as part
of the restructuring.

Pursuant to their conversion of debt to equity the financiers
will have the right to nominate candidates for up to a third of
the Board of Directors of NABI Rt. and appoint all but one
Director of NABI Inc.  NABI Rt. will continue to appoint one
Director to the Board of NABI Inc.

On completion of the restructuring, NABI Inc. will be the sole
borrower of US$60.0 million reduced debt.  NABI Rt will be free
of debt, but will guarantee repayment of up to US$6.5 million of
the debt of NABI Inc. secured by a first lien on all of NABI
Rt.'s real estate assets.

Given the separation in the majority ownership of NABI Rt. and
NABI Inc., the companies will enter into an arm's length supply
agreement to ensure the continued supply of steel shells,
chassis, parts and service from Hungary to the U.S. business.

The financiers support the continuing efforts by NABI Rt. to
sell assets and businesses, the proceeds of which will be used
to continue to reduce debt as quickly as practicable.  NABI Rt.
will also continue to restructure its operations with a view to
improving efficiency and productivity and ensuring the long-term
prospects of manufacturing steel buses.  Resulting from these
continuing efforts, NABI Rt. announces that it has entered into
negotiations that may or may not lead to an offer or offers
being made for certain or substantially all of NABI Rt.'s and
NABI Inc.'s assets and businesses in Hungary, U.S. and/or U.K.
NABI Rt. will make further announcements on these efforts in due
course.

IMPREGILO SPA: Fisia Restructures EUR76 Million Debt
----------------------------------------------------
Impregilo S.p.A. said that it had reached these agreements with
the banks on 7 June 2005:

(a) Re-scheduling of Short-term Borrowings

A series of undertakings have been reached with the Banca Intesa
Group, the Unicredito Group, the SanPaolo IMI Group, the
Capitalia Group and other banks for the re-scheduling of short-
term borrowings totaling EUR200.3 million.

The re-scheduled amount has a five-year term and is repayable in
six-monthly installments with 24 months of pre-amortization.
Conditions are aligned with those of the medium/long-term loan
described below.  The final contract will be signed by 31 July
2005.  The re-scheduling does not require Impregilo to provide
guarantees.

(b) Restructuring of Fisia Debt

Fisia Italimpianti has reached an agreement with a pool of banks
led by Banca di Roma S.p.A. for the restructuring of a residual
amount of EUR76 million on a medium-term loan granted at the
time of Fisia's acquisition by Hiatus S.p.A., which subsequently
amalgamated Fisia and assumed its business name.  The
restructuring envisages a two-year extension for each
installment, beginning with the installment due on 30 June 2005.

(c) Conversion of EUR680 Million Bridging Loan

At the request of Impregilo, with reference to the statement
released on 17 May 2005, a medium/long-term financing agreement
for 500 million euro has been signed with Banca Intesa S.p.A.,
Unicredit Banca d'Impresa S.p.A. and SanPaolo IMI S.p.A.  The
seven-year loan with eighteen months of pre-amortization is in
line with standard market practice for transactions of this
nature.

Among the conditions of the agreement, Impregilo will be
required to respect, at consolidated level, these financial
ratios: the net debt/equity ratio; the net debt/EBITDA ratio,
the EBITDA/financial expense ratio.

Under the agreement, Impregilo is also to dispose of investments
and tangible assets.

The contract will take effect subject to a number of conditions
precedent, specifically full execution of the share capital
increase launched by the Impregilo Board of Directors at a
meeting held June 7.

COLT TELECOM: Clinches Three-year Contract with NEC Europe
----------------------------------------------------------
COLT Telecom Group plc has signed a three-year managed network
deal with NEC Europe, a leading global manufacturer and service
provider of telecommunications, computer and electronic devices.

As NEC's primary data infrastructure provider for Europe, COLT
will supply an IP Virtual Private Network (IP VPN) to connect
NEC's business critical applications across its European
operations.

COLT's extensive network footprint allows NEC to connect all of
its Western European offices, improving communications for its
2,000 personnel in the region.  In the first stage of this new
relationship, COLT will upgrade NEC's current infrastructure to
a modern IP VPN MPLS network.  This managed network will enable
NEC to link its multiple sites more cost-effectively and reduce
total cost of ownership by freeing up in-house resources.

Kenji Takano, Managing Director and board member of NEC Europe
said: "When choosing our new network provider, it was imperative
that the selected company could align with our business strategy
and provide a robust, pan-European solution.  COLT impressed us
not only with its technology but with its high responsiveness
and customer service record.  Together with highly competitive
pricing, COLT's bid stood head and shoulders above the rest."

By using COLT as a primary supplier, NEC will get a single point
of accountability and billing, while high service level
guarantees across all countries will ensure consistency of
management and communication.  The new network will go live in
Q3 2005 and is a foundation for IP Voice and data center
services in the future.

Jean-Yves Charlier, CEO of COLT, said: "We are excited to be
supporting NEC Europe's strategy and helping it to exceed its
business goals.  This pan-European agreement will significantly
reduce NEC Europe's total cost of ownership -- a prime motivator
for its decision to upgrade the network -- and put in place a
superior, stable managed network for the future.  We are also
delighted that our customer care record provided the reassurance
NEC Europe was seeking from its chosen supplier - testimony to
our continued focus on service."

communications.  COLT specializes in providing data, voice and
managed services to midsize and major businesses and wholesale

CORUS GROUP: Expects Steel Demand in Europe, U.S. to Remain Weak
----------------------------------------------------------------
In 2005, global steel industry capacity utilization is expected
to remain high by historical standards.  Steel consumption is
forecast to increase by around 4% with China continuing to
provide the main source of growth.  In contrast, European and
North American demand is relatively weak.

In Europe, weakness in the construction and automotive sectors
has emerged during the first half of 2005.  Combined with higher
imports, this has hampered efforts to redress the stock build
that occurred in the second half of 2004.  This in turn, has led
to some downward pressure on selling prices.

There are early signs that stock levels in North American
markets are reducing.  The European market is expected to follow
this trend with stock levels expected to revert to normal
towards the end of the year.  To align production with demand,
Corus Group plc has reduced steel making output in the second
quarter by 70,000 tons per month.  This policy will be continued
with the reduction increasing to 160,000 tons per month for the
third quarter.

The Group's "Restoring Success" program continues to deliver
significant benefits in line with plan.  Commissioning of the
capital investments at Port Talbot and Rotherham are ongoing and
benefits will be progressively delivered from the second half of
this year.

Consistent with the guidance given at the time of our 2004
preliminary results, the operating performance for the Company
in the first half of 2005 is expected to be marginally better
than the strong second half of last year.  Corus expects trading
conditions to be more difficult during the second half of 2005,
particularly as Europe enters the holiday period of July and
August.  As market conditions permit, it remains Corus'
objective to look to recover the progressive impact of raw
material cost increases.

At the time of the preliminary results announcement, the Board
declared its intention to recommence dividend payments in
respect of the current year.

The Board now expects to declare a modest, initial dividend at
the time of its interim results on 25 August 2005.  This
decision reflects the Board's confidence in the Group's
underlying, long-term recovery.

FEDERAL-MOGUL: Asbestos Claims Estimation Proceeding Begins
-----------------------------------------------------------
A formal hearing to estimate the aggregate value of asbestos-
related personal injury claims against Federal-Mogul Corporation
and its debtor-affiliates began Tuesday in Camden, N.J., before
the Honorable Joseph H. Rodriguez.  The hearing was to continue
Wednesday and Thursday last week and the District Court has
blocked-out Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week to
complete the trial.  Judge Rodriguez is unlikely to issue any
type of bench ruling at the conclusion of this multi-day trail
proceeding.

At the Court's direction, the parties filed their final witness
lists, lists of trial exhibits, and pre-hearing memoranda late
last month.

                 Parties' Pre-Hearing Memoranda

A. Asbestos Claimants Committee & Futures Representative

The Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants, and Eric D. Green,
as the Legal Representative for Future Asbestos Claimants tell
the Court that the estimation proceeding will serve two
purposes:

   a. To enable the Court to resolve for U.S. bankruptcy
      purposes any objections to confirmation of the Third
      Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, which are based in
      any way on an aggregate estimate of T&N's liability to
      pending and future U.S. and U.K. asbestos personal injury
      claimants; and

   b. To provide Mr. Justice David Richards of the English High
      Court with a fully developed legal and factual record that
      attempts to answer the questions raised in his
      communication to Bankruptcy Judge Raymond T. Lyons dated
      December 22, 2004, and which could assist him in his own
      resolution of similar issues as they arise in the
      insolvency proceedings currently pending in the United
      Kingdom.

A full-text copy of the Asbestos Claimants Committee and Futures
Representative's Pre-Hearing Memorandum is available free of
charge, at:

     http://bankrupt.com/misc/ACC&FuturesPrehearingMemo.pdf

The Asbestos Claimants Committee and Futures Representative have
identified three legal issues which must be resolved to
determine whether the proposed Plan is fair to all creditor
groups and whether it satisfies the Bankruptcy Code's "best
interest of creditors" test.

According to Maribeth L. Minella, Esq., at Young Conaway
Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, the estimation
hearing raises three broad issues:

   1. Why is estimation necessary?

   2. What is the appropriate methodology to use in estimating
      present and future asbestos personal injury liability?

   3. How would U.S.-based claims against T&N Limited be valued
      in the U.K. Insolvency Proceedings?

Ms. Minella notes that the resolution of the issues is not
binding on Justice Richards, but could speed up the resolution
of the parallel administration proceedings of T&N Limited and
its U.K. subsidiaries and avoid unnecessarily duplicative
procedures in the United Kingdom, Ms. Minella assures.

                 Why is Estimation Necessary?

To emerge from bankruptcy and for the creditors to be paid, it
is necessary to establish an estimated aggregate value of the
present and future asbestos personal injury claims.

Specifically, the estimation is necessary for three reasons:

   1. To provide a basis for measuring the relative amounts of
      asbestos personal injury claims on the one hand and, on
      the other, claims lodged by other groups of unsecured
      creditors, including those asserting asbestos-related
      property damage claims and other unsecured commercial
      claims;

   2. An estimate of T&N's present and future asbestos personal
      injury liability is required to determine whether the Plan
      satisfies the "best interest of creditors" test; and

   3. A special requirement for an estimate arises from the
      pendency of the U.K. Insolvency Proceedings.

                      Methodology to Be Used

The Asbestos Claimants Committee and Futures Representative
assert that the best and the only valid basis to be used is "by
reference to the claims compensation criteria and values
established by T&N's pre-petition resolution of over 250,000
similar individual asbestos personal injury and death claims,
after taking into account both the historical trends in claims
filing rates and claim values as well as events that were
reasonably foreseeable as of the bankruptcy petition date."

Ms. Minella explains that the 250,000 resolved claims were:

   -- brought against T&N in all 50 states and various
      territories of the United States and in the United
      Kingdom;

   -- litigated in both U.S. and U.K. courts; and

   -- resolved either through trials or at values that the
      company and the claimants agreed were acceptable for a
      consensual resolution.

The Asbestos Claimants Committee's expert, Dr. Mark Peterson,
and the expert for the Official Committee for Property Damage
Claimants, Dr. Robin Cantor, agree with the general proposition,
Ms. Minella says.  Both experts hold the view that T&N's past
claims resolution history is the proper evidentiary basis from
which to begin to estimate T&N's asbestos liability, Ms. Minella
adds.

         Valuation of U.S.-based Claims Under English Law

The estimation, according to Ms. Minella, must include a
determination of how the U.S.-based claims would be valued in
the U.K. Insolvency Proceedings, which requires an analysis of
relevant English law on the treatment of tort claims arising
outside the United Kingdom.  A determination by the Court of the
values that would be assigned in England to the U.S.-based
claims is necessary because a substantial part of T&N's assets
are in the United Kingdom.  In a liquidation under Chapter 7,
the only value available to the asbestos personal injury and
other U.S. claimants against T&N would, as a practical matter,
be whatever they were able to obtain through the U.K. Insolvency
Proceedings.

To value unliquidated tort claims, like T&N's asbestos personal
injury claims, the U.K. Administrators of T&N must determine, as

a matter of English law:

   (1) that the claim, if proven, would result in the
       defendants' liability; and

   (2) the amounts that would be awarded for any meritorious
       claims.

Ms. Minella tells the Court that the Asbestos Claimants
Committee and the Futures Representative will present testimony,
and a detailed written legal analysis by Barbara Dohmann, QC,
showing that in the U.K. Insolvency Proceedings U.S. law would
be applied to substantive issues of liability and damages.

             $8.2 to $11.0 Billion for U.S. Claims,
                   $400 Million for U.K. Claims

The Asbestos Claimants Committee and the Futures Representative
assert that a reasonable estimate of the asbestos personal
injury claims against T&N, as of October 2001, is:

    * within the range of $8.2 to $11.0 billion for claims
      brought in the United States; and

    * $400 million for claims brought in the United Kingdom.

Ms. Minella explains that the range estimates the present value
of the amounts T&N would have paid over the next four decades to
resolve asbestos personal injury claims in the U.S. and U.K.
tort systems if it had not filed for bankruptcy.

                 ACC & Futures Rep's Witness List

At the hearing, the Asbestos Claimants Committee and Futures
Representative will present as witnesses:

   1. Paul Hanly, former U.S. National Trial Counsel to T&N;

   2. Andrea Crichton, U.K. Asbestos Claims Manager for T&N;

   3. Barbara Dohmann, Queen's Counsel, and an English Law
      expert;

   4. Laura Welch, M.D., Medical Expert; and

   5. Mark Peterson, Ph.D., JD, Claims Estimation Expert.

Mr. Hanly and Ms. Crichton have extensive personal knowledge of
T&N's claims history and its procedures and strategies for
resolving claims.  In broad outline, their testimony will show
that although there are obvious differences in the U.S. and U.K.
judicial systems, the bases of T&N's liability for asbestos
personal injury claims asserted by the vast majority of
plaintiffs against T&N were the same in both countries: That T&N
was responsible for:

   -- asbestos-related injuries caused by exposure to its
      asbestos-containing products; or

   -- injuries caused by exposure to the asbestos fiber it
      supplied to its subsidiaries.

Ms. Dohmann will establish the choice of law for liability and
for damages that would apply if T&N's asbestos personal injury
liability for claims based on events in the United States were
considered by a U.K. Court.  She will explain that in her
opinion, under English law, U.S. principles for both liability
and amount of damages would be applied to those claims.  In
particular, Ms. Dohmann will describe the basic elements for a
defendant to be liable under English law for injuries allegedly
caused by its asbestos-containing products.

A full-text copy of Barbara Dohmann's expert opinion is
available at no charge at:

      http://bankrupt.com/misc/DohmannReport.pdf

Ms. Welch will explain and support the testimony of Mr. Hanly
and Ms. Crichton, and the assumptions regarding medical issues
that have been used by Dr. Cantor.

A full-text copy of Laura Welch's expert report is available at
no charge at:

      http://bankrupt.com/misc/WelchReport.pdf

                      Dr. Peterson's Approach

Dr. Peterson will present the bases for his conclusion that the
present value of T&N's U.S. claims is within the range of $8.2
to $11.0 billion, and that the liability for U.K. claims is $400
million.  Dr. Peterson may also testify as a rebuttal witness to
the flaws in the methodology used, and results reached, by Dr.
Cantor.

Dr. Peterson's methodology utilizes data drawn from the T&N's
prepetition claims experience, both within the Center for Claims
Resolution and afterwards as a "stand-alone" defendant:

    * epidemiological projections of the incidence of asbestos-
      related cancers; and

    * foreseeable trends and patterns in claiming behavior and
      settlement costs.

The methodology is not a mechanical extrapolation of past
history, Ms. Minella explains.  The historical data provide a
starting point, but adjustments are made for changes that can
reasonably be expected in the future, and for anomalies in the
historical patterns.

According to Ms. Minella, although the details in estimating
T&N's aggregate asbestos personal injury liability are
complicated, the propositions underlying the estimate are basic:
T&N's aggregate asbestos personal injury liability is the sum
of:

   (a) the estimated liability for claims pending but unresolved
       on the Petition Date plus

   (b) the present value of the estimated liability for claims
       that can be expected to be filed in the years thereafter.

Dr. Peterson started his analysis by examining T&N's database of
pending claims and grouping the claims into categories of
alleged disease -- mesothelioma, lung cancer, other cancer, and
non-malignant disease.  Next, he compared this universe of
pending claims to records of claims that T&N has previously
resolved by settlement or court judgment, taking into account
those resolved without payment as a result of rejection,
withdrawal, or abandonment.

A full-text copies of Mark Peterson's reports are available at
no charge at:

     http://bankrupt.com/misc/PetersonExpertReport.pdf

     http://bankrupt.com/misc/PetersonSupplReport.pdf

                  Dr. Cantors' Method is Flawed

In contrast, Dr. Cantor reaches a drastically lower estimate,
for two principal reasons:

   (1) Dr. Cantor uses a flawed and downwardly biased approach
       to calculate the number of future claims that will be
       filed against T&N and ultimately paid; and

   (2) Dr. Cantor's calculation of the "settlement averages"
       used to value T&N's pending and future claims ignores not
       only T&N's recent historical settlement averages and the
       increasing trends in T&N's settlement averages but also
       the reasons for those trends.

For all of these reasons, the Asbestos Committee and the Futures
Representative ask the Court rule that:

   (a) the aggregate value of T&N's liability for present and
       future U.S. asbestos personal injury claims liability is
       between $8.2 and $11.0 billion;

   (b) its liability for present and future U.K. asbestos
       personal injury claims is $400 million; and

   (c) an English court would apply the laws of the United
       States to both the evaluation of liability and the
       measure of damages for claims brought by persons who were
       exposed in the United States to T&N's asbestos and
       asbestos-containing products and who suffered asbestos-
       related diseases in the United States as a result of that
       exposure.

B. Asbestos PD Claimants

The Official Committee of Asbestos Property Damage Claimants
believes that appropriate value of all pending and future U.S.
asbestos personal injury claims against Debtor T&N Limited is
approximately $2.5 billion, net present value.

The PD Committee will offer expert testimony from Dr. Robin A.
Cantor, a Ph.D. economist and the leader of the Liability
Estimation practice at Navigant Consulting, Inc., at trial.  The
PD Committee will demonstrate that Dr. Cantor's estimate is
based on extensive empirical analysis of T&N's pre-bankruptcy
claims history and is, as a matter of fact and law, the only
appropriate estimate offered.

The PD Committee argues that the estimate offered by the
Asbestos Claimants Committee and the Future Claimants
Representative ignores T&N's claims history.  The PD Committee
says the Asbestos Claimants Committee and the Future Claimants
Representative's estimate projects wildly inflated claim counts
and soaring claim values based on unsupportable speculation
that, for the bankruptcy, the world of asbestos litigation would
become an even less hospitable place for T&N than it already
was.

The PD Committee notes that each of the Plan Proponents and the
Trustees of the T&N Pension Plan has retained separate
consulting firms to estimate T&N's liabilities.  The Plan
Proponents, however, will offer only Mark Peterson, the
consultant retained by the Asbestos Claimants Committee, to
support the $11.1 billion estimate of the aggregate value of
U.S. asbestos personal injury claims.

"It is not surprising that no other party will offer expert
testimony to corroborate Dr. Peterson's estimate," Theodore J.
Tacconelli, Esq., at Ferry Joseph & Pearce, P.A., in Wilmington,
Delaware, says.

The PD Committee believes that no other consultant retained in
the case has estimated T&N's liabilities at anything near the
$11.1 billion.  "None would risk his or her professional
credibility trying to justify that number," Mr. Tacconelli tells
the District Court.

The Debtors' own estimate of T&N's liabilities is telling, the
PD Committee contends.  The Committee points out that from 2000
through 2004, the Debtors have disclosed in filings with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that T&N's total
potential liability through 2012 would be $1.6 billion.

The PD Committee notes that the Debtors worked with National
Economic Research Associates, Inc., a nationally recognized
economic consulting firm, in coming up with the estimate in
2000.

Moreover, the Debtors have continued reporting the $1.6 billion
estimate even after they proposed the Plan, which incorporates
the $11.1 billion estimate.  The Debtors have never suggested
that the NERA estimate wildly underestimates T&N's potential
liability.

Other estimates also show how unrealistic the Asbestos Claimants
Committee's current $11.1 billion estimate is.  The PD Committee
reminds the District Court that in 2002 and 2004, before the
Asbestos Claimants Committee reached an agreement on the Plan,
the Asbestos Claimants Committee presented values ranging from
$5.7 billion to $6.6 billion.  The Pension Trustees also
performed their own estimate, which ranged from $2.1 billion to
$5.5 billion.  The joint administrators appointed in the U.K.
proceedings arrived at $5.3 billion using essentially the same
methodologies Dr. Peterson used before he doubled his estimate.

The PD Committee explains that Dr. Cantor's estimate is
conservative and likely overstates the allowable aggregate
amount of T&N's potential liabilities.  Dr. Cantor makes no
specific adjustment downward to reflect the substantial changes
in the tort system that have occurred since 2001 -- like the
legal reforms in states where a large portion of T&N claims were
filed and efforts to stop the sham medical screening process
which generated tens of thousands of dubious claims -- all of
which will have the effect of decreasing future claim values and
claim counts.

The PD Committee tells Judge Rodriguez that Dr. Peterson repeats
in the Debtors' case many of the same errors and omissions that
caused Judge Fullam to reject his estimate in the Owens Corning
case as "extreme" and "too high".

The PD Committee has not estimated the value of the U.K.
asbestos personal injury claims.  The PD Committee believes that
the U.K. claims are only a small fraction of the U.S. claims and
will not significantly affect recoveries for property damage
claimants.

FEDERAL-MOGUL: Wants to Hire Hymans Robertson as Actuary
--------------------------------------------------------
One of the principal unresolved issues in Federal-Mogul
Corporation and its debtor-affiliates' Chapter 11 cases and
administration proceedings in the United Kingdom is the
valuation and treatment of claims relating to the T&N Pension
Scheme.

The T&N Pension Trustees allege that the T&N Pension Scheme is
currently underfunded.  The Trustees relate that in a
termination event under the United Kingdom pensions legislation,
the funding deficiency in the T&N Pension Scheme is estimated at
GBP1.8 billion.

John J. Gasparovic, Federal Mogul Corporation's Senior Vice
President and General Counsel, relates that for many months now,
the Debtors and other Plan Proponents have attempted to engage
the T&N Pension Trustees in negotiations to reach a consensual
determination of claims held by the T&N Pension Trustees.  But
the negotiations have yet to reach a successful outcome.

Due to the length and tenor of the negotiations, the Debtors see
the need to employ a consultant to provide actuarial advice and
expert assistance relating to the T&N Pension Scheme.  In
particular, Federal-Mogul believes that it will be essential to
have access to detailed analyses of the various options related
to the T&N Pension Scheme.  The analyses will be crucial with
respect to ongoing negotiations concerning the Plan and may be
used in potential future litigation related to the T&N Pension
Scheme, Mr. Gasparovic notes.

Mr. Gasparovic tells the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware that the actuaries to the T&N Pension Scheme, Mercer
Human Resources Consulting, recently concluded its latest
triennial valuation of the assets and liabilities for the T&N
Pension Scheme.

Mr. Gasparovic believes that it is essential for Federal-Mogul
and the other Plan Proponents to understand from an actuarial
point of view whether the methodology utilized by Mercer was
appropriate and provided the most accurate assessment of the T&N
Pension Scheme's assets and liabilities.  In that way, Federal-
Mogul and the other Plan Proponents may participate fully and
appropriately in negotiations with the T&N Pension Trustees.

Federal-Mogul began to interview various firms in the United
Kingdom that provide pensions-related actuarial and consulting
services.  Mr. Gasparovic notes that the number of firms capable
of providing the kind of services in connection with a pension
scheme as large as the T&N Pension Scheme is limited.  Federal-
Mogul was quickly able to identify three suitable firms.

After interviewing those firms, Federal-Mogul identified Hymans
Robertson LLP as the firm best suited to provide actuarial and
consulting services.

The Debtors ask the Court to authorize them to employ Hymans
Robertson to provide expert actuarial advice, analysis and
consulting services related to the T&N Pension Scheme, nunc pro
tunc to April 19, 2005.

             About Hymans Robertson & its Professionals

Hymans Robertson is an independent limited liability partnership
that has provided advisory and management services with respect
to occupational pension schemes in the United Kingdom since
1921.

Hymans Robertson's core services include actuarial consultancy
and pension scheme design and management.

The proposed lead consultants are Ronnie Bowie and Clive Fortes.

Mr. Bowie has been a partner with Hymans Robertson since 1981,
and has been actively involved in the provision of actuarial and
consulting services to companies and trustees since 1980.  In
addition, Mr. Bowie served as Chairman of the Pensions Board of
the Faculty and Institute of Actuaries from July 2002 to July
2004.

Mr. Fortes has been a partner since 1997 and is the head of the
firm's actuarial practice.  Mr. Fortes has advised both trustees
and companies in the management of pension arrangements and on
scheme wind-ups.  Mr. Fortes is a member of the main committee
of the Association of Consulting Actuaries and was previously a
member of the Pensions Committee of the Association of
Consulting Actuaries.

The Debtors believe that Mr. Bowie and Mr. Fortes are well
qualified to perform the actuarial services.

                      Services to be Rendered

Hymans Robertson is expected to:

    (a) review and analyze the actuarial assumptions and
        calculations of Mercer with respect to the T&N Pension
        Scheme;

    (b) develop and analyze alternative methods to account for
        the funding or assumption of the T&N Pension Scheme;

    (c) provide consulting services related to the T&N Pension
        Scheme as is necessary in the negotiation of a plan of
        reorganization.  These services may include advising
        Federal-Mogul in connection with negotiations with
        pensions regulators in the United Kingdom and the
        Pension Protection Fund, a newly created independent
        funding service for pensions in the United Kingdom that
        serves a function roughly similar to that of the Pension
        Benefit Guaranty Corporation in the United States; and

    (d) provide other actuarial and consulting services with
        respect to the T&N Pension Scheme, including possible
        expert witness testimony, as needed.

                         Fees and Expenses

Hymans Robertson will bill the Debtors on an hourly basis:

          Professional                 Hourly Rate
          ------------                 -----------
          Ronnie Bowie                   GBP550
          Clive Fortes                   GBP425
          Others                     GBP200 - GBP350

The rates are subject to periodic adjustments to reflect
economic and other conditions, and are typically adjusted on an
annual basis.

Mr. Fortes assures Judge Lyons that Hymans Robertson does not
represent or hold any material adverse interest to the Debtors
or their estates with respect to matters on which the firm is to
be employed.  The Debtors believe that Hymans Robertson is
"disinterested" pursuant to Section 327 of the Bankruptcy Code
and Rule 2014 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

REGAL PETROLEUM: Peter Heap to Temporarily Replace Frank Timis
--------------------------------------------------------------
Regal Petroleum has appointed Sir Peter Heap KCMG as Non-
Executive Director and Interim Chairman of Regal and Richard F P
Hardman CBE as Executive Director responsible for Exploration.

Sir Peter Heap is a former specialist adviser to numerous
companies including HSBC Investment Bank, Amerada Hess plc and
the BOC Group.  Prior to his advisory roles Sir Peter was with
the Foreign & Commonwealth Office of the British Government for
over 36 years, including being the Ambassador in Brazil (1992-
1995), Senior Trade Commissioner in Hong Kong (1989-1992),
British High Commissioner, Bahamas (1983-1986), as well as the
Head of Energy Department (1980-1983).  His appointment is with
immediate effect.

Richard Hardman is an explorationist and a qualified Geologist
with over 40 years industry experience with oil majors including
10 years at BP, 11 years at AMOCO, 3 years at Superior Oil and
18 years at Amerada Hess.  Since 2001 Richard has been working
as a senior consultant to various oil and gas companies
including Enterprise Oil, Neptune, FX Energy Inc. and Atlantic
Petroleum UK Limited.  He is the former Chairman of both the
Petroleum Group of the Geological Society and the Petroleum
Exploration Society of Great Britain and the former President of
the Geological Society.  His appointment is with immediate
effect.

The Board of Regal now comprises Sir Peter Heap (Non-executive
Director and Interim Non-executive Chairman); Dr Rex Gaisford
(Chief Executive Officer); Mr. Roger Phillips (Finance
Director); Mr. Richard Hardman (Executive Director -
Exploration); and Lord St John of Bletso (Non-executive
Director).

                            *   *   *

On June 7, Regal Petroleum founder and executive chairman Frank
Timis resigned after the oil explorer revealed annual losses had
quadrupled.

A short statement from Regal said Mr. Timis, who founded the
firm in 1996, will devote more time to other business interests.
Rumors, however, were circulating he was forced out by Regal's
non-executive directors, and institutional shareholders.

The company earlier reported a loss after tax and minority
interests of US$13.7 million (GBP7.55 million) for the year
ending December 31, compared with a loss of US$2.9 million a
year earlier.  It has lost 83% of its value since March.  The
shares went down significantly at the end of April when Regal
raised GBP45 million at 390p a share following its discovery of
a gas prospect in Romania.  It sank further earlier this month
when a well at its prospect in Greece was found to be not
commercially viable for exploration.

SALTON INC.: Fails to Pay Interest on US$6.7 Mln Sr. Sub. Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Salton, Inc. (NYSE:SFP) did not make the interest payment of
approximately $6.7 million due on June 15 under its outstanding
10-3/4% senior subordinated notes.  The indenture governing the
notes provides for a 30-day grace period with respect to the
payment of this interest.  The Company believes that it is
prudent to utilize this grace period while it continues to
pursue various strategic options to refinance the 10-3/4% senior
subordinated notes due December 15, 2005.  The Company intends
to operate in the normal course of business during this period
and to maintain its high level of responsiveness to its
customers and vendors.

There can be no assurance that the Company will make the
interest payment during the grace period.

Salton continues to pursue various previously disclosed
strategic options to raise funds required to satisfy the $125
million of outstanding 10-3/4% senior subordinated notes due
December 15, 2005 and allow the Company to satisfy its liquidity
needs.  These strategic options may include, among other things,
incurring additional debt, issuing debt or equity securities,
sales of assets or businesses, reducing expenditures for new
product development and/or cutting other costs, repurchasing
outstanding debt securities, exchange offers and/or consent
solicitations of outstanding securities.  There can be no
assurance that any of these options can be effected or that
these options would enable the Company to repay the outstanding
10-3/4% senior subordinated notes or satisfy the Company's
liquidity needs.

These announcements prompt Standard & Poor's Ratings Services to
lower its corporate credit rating on Salton Inc. to 'D' from
'CCC'.  At the same time, Salton's subordinated debt rating was
lowered to 'D' from 'CC'.

                    Lenders & Professionals

capital financing under the terms of an Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2003.  Salton Europe,

Bank.

other bondholders, and retained legal counsel and financial
advisors, according to a report from Harris Rubinroit at

"Our Chairman and Deputy Chairman have again demonstrated their
strong belief in a successful future for the company by fully
underwriting a EUR100 million rights issue.  The proceeds of
this rights issue will be used to fundamentally restructure the
Group to allow Waterford Wedgwood exploit the potential of its
world leading brands."

                   Chief Executive's Statement

The year just ended presented serious challenges to our Group: a
soft dollar, weak demand and below optimal throughput for our
manufacturing operations.  In the event, the business recorded
an operating loss of EUR82.2 million which greatly disappoints
all of us.  Through a major focus on cash management, the
business generated a positive cash flow from trading of EUR1.2
million, notwithstanding this operating loss.

It was a year of significant change for the Group. During the
year, we sold a major business -- All-Clad; we bought a major
business -- Royal Doulton; we structured a major re-financing;
we implemented a significant working capital reduction program;
we simplified the business dramatically, eliminating 50% of our
stock keeping units (SKUs); and we made important senior
management changes.

The integration of Royal Doulton has gone well and, since the
year-end, we have identified opportunities for greater savings
than originally envisaged.  Last month, we announced a EUR100
million rights issue, to be fully underwritten by Waterford
Wedgwood's Chairman and Deputy Chairman in order to fund a
restructuring program which will yield annualized benefits of
EUR90 million when fully implemented, regrettably with the
reduction of 1,800 jobs Group-wide.  We also announced that we
have agreed to sell underutilized land in Waterford for
EUR32.9 million.

We are encouraged, as we commence this restructuring, by the
recent appreciation in the U.S. Dollar.  With 40% of our sales
revenues in dollars, a stronger dollar will retrieve for the
Group some of the margins eroded by the significant adverse
foreign exchange movement.

                        Sales and Margins

As we announced in our pre-close trading update on 14 March,
business was challenging in the period under review.  Total
sales for the year were down 6% on a like-for-like basis
(excluding discontinued or acquired operations and at constant
exchange rates).

Margins were lower for three principal reasons:

(a) Lower volumes of production at the Group's main factories
    leading to significant under-recovery of fixed overhead;

(b) The impact of exchange rates, in particular the weak U.S.
    dollar during the fiscal year; and

(c) The sell-down of obsolete and excess inventories and the
    effect of short-time working on our factories: both part of
    our planned inventory reduction program.

                         Business Focus

In view of the serious challenges, which the business faced, our
management team decided to focus on cash management as it
prepared the business for a return to financial strength.  To
this end, we administered some strong medicine, which adversely
impacted this year's operating performance.  This emphasis
allowed the business to generate cash flow from trading of
EUR1.2 million despite an operating loss of EUR82.2 million.
This was achieved by a rigorous working capital reduction
program, which contributed to a reduction in inventory of
EUR78.4 million (almost 25%) and debtors of EUR24.8 million.

Our highly successful sale of All-Clad funded last year's
restructuring spend, interest and re-financing fees, while our
acquisition of Royal Doulton was funded by a rights issue.

From a debt management perspective, this cash focus was
successful; our year-end debt was reduced by EUR103.5 million to
EUR279.4 million.

                     Restructuring Program

The Group has reviewed its fixed cost base in order to return to
sustainable profitability at existing demand levels and current
exchange rates.  The restructuring program announced on 4 May is
designed to remove excess capacity, improve manufacturing
efficiency and enable a more complete integration of Wedgwood
and Royal Doulton.

The execution of this program has begun and complete
implementation will follow consultation and negotiations.
Restructuring costs are expected to amount to EUR90 million,
while annual benefits are expected to be EUR90 million.  These
benefits will start to flow through in the second half of the
current fiscal year with the full benefit forecast to be
achieved in the year to March 2007.

                          Royal Doulton

Our acquisition of Royal Doulton in January was of major
strategic importance for the Group and will yield long-term
benefits.  The Royal Doulton brand, together with the Minton and
Royal Albert brands, is respected internationally and will
complement Wedgwood's stable of world-class brands.  Royal
Doulton's fine bone china production has already been integrated
into Wedgwood's modern factory in Barlaston yielding enhanced
throughput and significant unit cost reductions.

The scope for other benefits through the integration of Royal
Doulton and Wedgwood operations has proved greater than
originally expected in a wide range of areas such as retail
concession shops, back office functions, warehousing and
distribution.  Originally, we envisaged annualized synergies
amounting to EUR20 million; we now believe that this is more
likely to be in the EUR40 million range.  Restructuring spend
will contribute to the achievement of some of these additional
savings.

                  Inventory Reduction Program

Our previously announced inventory reduction program has been
notably successful with the result that at 31 March 2005 stocks
were EUR78.4 million lower than a year ago.  Unsurprisingly,
such a significant achievement was not cost-free.  The sell-down
of obsolete and excess products hit profit margins.  Short-time
working at our factories also reduced margins.  It was therefore
'strong medicine', but it released cash, simplified the business
by purging more than 50% of SKUs (stock keeping units) from the
system, improved the quality of the remaining inventory and
freed warehouse space and other capacities.  There will be
ongoing benefits for the business in day-to-day operating
efficiencies.

                    New Business Initiatives

Our four major businesses (Waterford, Wedgwood, Royal Doulton
and Rosenthal) have each developed new business initiatives.
Examples include an affiliation between Waterford Crystal and a
well-known designer in the U.S. (along the lines of our
successful collaboration with John Rocha in Ireland and U.K.),
extension of distribution into stores such as Bed, Bath &
Beyond, and more fully tapping the potential of new markets such
as Eastern Europe and China.

                       Divisional Overview

Following the disposal of the cookware company All-Clad, and the
acquisition of the ceramics business Royal Doulton, the Group
has realigned its segmental reporting and in future will report
as follows: Waterford Crystal, the Ceramics Group (incorporating
the recently acquired Royal Doulton with Wedgwood and
Rosenthal), WC Designs & Spring.

                        Waterford Crystal

Waterford Crystal sales of EUR221.7 million were 8% down at
constant exchange rates and 13% down at prevailing exchange
rates.  Waterford incurred an operating loss of EUR20.6 million
compared with a profit of EUR17.3 million in the previous year.
Three main factors account for the year-over-year change:
exchange, sales/production volumes and the planned inventory
reduction program.

                         Ceramics Group

The Ceramics Group had sales of EUR441.5 million.  On a like-
for-like basis this was 5% down at constant exchange and 6% down
at prevailing exchange.  This division incurred an operating
loss of EUR50.1 million compared with a profit of EUR7.6 million
in the previous year.  As in the case of Waterford, the three
principal elements in the change were exchange, sales/production
volumes and the inventory reduction program.

                       WC Designs & Spring

WC Designs & Spring, had total sales of EUR45.2 million.  This
was 6% down at constant exchange and 12% down at prevailing
exchange.  These businesses improved to a loss of EUR0.7 million
compared with a loss of EUR1.8 million last year.

                            Financial

Operating profit before goodwill amortization and exceptional
charges The Group reported an operating loss before goodwill
amortization and exceptional charges of EUR82.2 million,
compared with an operating profit of EUR28.4 million for the
previous year.  As previously mentioned, lower sales and
production volumes, adverse exchange and the impact of the
inventory reduction program account for most of the year-over-
year change.

                             EBITDA

EBITDA for Fiscal 2005 was a loss of EUR48.7 million compared
with a profit of EUR62.1 million the previous year.  The factors
behind the year-over-year change were the same as for operating
profit.

                       Cash Flow and Debt

Net debt at 31 March 2005 was EUR279.4 million which was
EUR103.5 million less than last year.  Outflows due to the
operating loss, restructuring expenditure, interest costs and
the acquisition of Royal Doulton were more than offset by
inflows from inventory reduction, the sale of All-Clad and the
rights issue.

                            Overview

Some 12 months ago, the Group laid out its plans to achieve the
required recovery of the business.  We stated that there was
over-capacity in the British ceramics industry.  During the
year, we acquired Royal Doulton and effectively 'rolled up' the
industry by transferring the production of Royal Doulton
products to Wedgwood's Barlaston factory.  We stated that we
needed to reduce our working capital needs.  We have taken
EUR78.4 million out of our inventories.  We stated that we
needed to simplify the business.  We have reduced the number of
stock keeping units by more than 50%.  We stated that we needed
to enter new retail distribution; in higher growth channels
compatible with our great brands we now have a vibrant program
with Bed, Bath and Beyond in the U.S.  We stated that we needed
to take pricing action.

Our prices have been increased by 5% worldwide.  We identified a
need for specific, focused, meaningful new business initiatives
in every division in order to re-build the revenue line.  Some
of these are already in place and more will follow.  We observed
that we needed to continue to create relevant contemporary
ranges.  Again, this process has commenced ... with more to
follow.  And, finally, we identified the need to reduce our
fixed costs substantially in order to size the business to
current sales volumes and exchange rates.  To this end a program
to achieve EUR90 million of annualized financial benefits is
being implemented.

Each one of these actions is a vital step in the return of the
Waterford Wedgwood Group to an increasing and sustained level of
profitability.

                          Current Trading

Sales in the April-June 2005 quarter are likely to be 8% below
prior year, on a like-for-like basis.  However, our order books
are strengthening and, in recent weeks, certain substantial
contracts have been won which are due for delivery in the second
half.  Additionally, our new product and marketing programs are
gaining momentum.  Therefore, despite the fact that
uncertainties remain, an improved sales trend is anticipated for
the second half.
