SGL CARBON: S&P Places B+ Corp. Credit Rating on Watch Positive
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'B+' long-term
corporate credit rating on Germany-based graphite-electrodes
producer SGL Carbon AG on CreditWatch with positive
implications, following the group's successful completion of a
capital increase of about EUR80 million.
At the same time, the 'B-' rating on the subordinated bonds
issued by related entity SGL Carbon Luxembourg S.A., which are
guaranteed by SGL, was placed on CreditWatch with positive
implications.
"The CreditWatch placement reflects our expectations that SGL
will use the proceeds from the capital increase to reduce debt,
thereby improving its financial risk profile," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Alex Herbert.
"SGL recently reported much improved results for 2005, thanks to
increased demand for its products, notably in the core carbon
and graphite division, coupled with the absence of losses from
discontinued operations."
In resolving the CreditWatch placement, Standard & Poor's will
assess the ways in which the equity issue proceeds will be used
and consider whether SGL's financial risk profile has been
sufficiently strengthened to sustain a higher rating. If this
is the case, the ratings could be raised by one notch.
Standard & Poor's will seek to resolve the CreditWatch within 90
days.

PARMALAT SPA: U.S. Judge Allows Claims Versus Auditors
------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Lewis A. Kaplan of the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York allowed Parmalat S.p.A. to pursue
claims against its former auditors, Deloitte & Touche and Grant
Thornton.
Enrico Bondi, Parmalat's former extraordinary administrator and
current chief executive, filed a US$10 billion claim against the
auditors for allegedly playing a major role in the dairy giant's
EUR14 billion Enron-like collapse in December 2003. Parmalat
contends that "corrupt insiders at the company were able to
waste, steal, or squander approximately US$10 billion as a
result of Deloitte and Grant Thornton's failure to audit
Parmalat properly and to disclose the fraud and their
participation in and furtherance of it."
In a 38-page decision, Judge Kaplan said Parmalat could pursue
claims against Deloitte & Touche Tohmatsu -- the auditor's
international arm -- and its Italian unit. However, he
dismissed the claims against Deloitte & Touche, saying that Mr.
Bondi failed to show they had sufficient connections to the
insiders' wrongdoing to warrant liability.
In a statement, Parmalat said the decision "upheld Parmalat's
key claim that it be allowed to pursue these global firms for
damages not only in Italy but also internationally."
"We're very pleased that the case is going forward," said John
Quinn, a partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges LLP,
which represents Parmalat.
Mr. Bondi has also filed US$10 billion claims against around 50
financial institutions, including Bank of America Corporation
and Citigroup Inc.
Headquartered in Milan, Italy, Parmalat S.p.A. --
http://www.parmalat.net/-- sells nameplate milk products that
can be stored at room temperature for months. It also has 40-
some brand product line includes yogurt, cheese, butter, cakes
and cookies, breads, pizza, snack foods and vegetable sauces,
soups and juices.
Parmalat S.p.A. and its Italian affiliates filed separate
petitions for Extraordinary Administration before the Italian
Ministry of Productive Activities and the Civil and Criminal
District Court of the City of Parma, Italy on December 24, 2003.
Dr. Enrico Bondi was appointed Extraordinary Commissioner in
each of the cases. The Parma Court has declared the units
insolvent.
On June 22, 2004, Dr. Bondi filed a Sec. 304 Petition, Case No.
04-14268, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York.

OAO NOVATEK: S&P Assigns BB- Long-Term Corporate Credit Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB-' long-term
corporate credit rating to OAO Novatek, Russia's largest
independent gas producer. The outlook is stable. At the same
time, a 'ruAA-' Russia national scale rating was assigned to the
company.
The ratings reflect Novatek's operational dependence on the
pipelines of Russian gas supply company OAO Gazprom
(BB+/Positive/--) for the transportation of gas. The ratings
also reflect the very low domestic gas price realizations
compared with international benchmarks, Novatek's somewhat
concentrated reserve base, and the company's short track record
of consolidated financial reporting. Although its operations
have stayed unchanged, the company's key assets were only
partially owned and had been accounted as equity investments
before the consolidation of minority interests in December 2004.
The ratings also reflect the risks of operating in Russia,
including tax and regulatory uncertainties.
"Novatek has demonstrated over the past decade its ability to
manage its significant risks effectively and build a good
working relationship with Gazprom," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Per Karlsson. "Potential risks associated with
Gazprom's dominant and privileged position in the Russian gas
market are further mitigated by Gazprom's fundamental interest
in having independent producers like Novatek supplying the
domestic market, where prices are low, thereby enabling Gazprom
to boost its profitable exports."
Novatek's credit quality benefits from the company's very low
cost base, which results in high profitability and expected
positive free cash flow generation over the medium term, despite
low price realizations.
We expect Novatek to maintain at least its current production
level and successfully refinance its short-term debt. We also
expect Novatek to continue to deliver positive free operating
cash flow and to maintain net debt at less than its annual
EBITDA. At Sept. 30, 2005, Novatek reported net debt to EBITDA
of 0.3x on a last-quarter-annualized basis.
The ratings would likely benefit from a longer track record of
successful financial performance. Adverse changes on the
regulatory or competitive fronts, or evidence of heightened
operational risk from Gazprom, could constrain or put downward
pressure on the ratings.
RAZREZ MUGUNSKY: Parent Company Resolves to Liquidate Unit
----------------------------------------------------------
The Siberian Coal and Energy Company (SEUK) has decided to
liquidate its subsidiary, Razrez Mugunsky Mining Co., in Irkutsk
region, Interfax reports.
According to the report, Razrez's liquidation is part of SUEK's
effort to simplify its corporate structure since it has not been
in operation for the past three years.
"We expect that the reform will increase creditors' confidence
in SUEK and make it possible to even more effectively pursue a
course toward diversifying and decreasing the cost of the
company's loan portfolio, and increasing the duration of loans
taken," a spokesman for SUEK's Irkutsk branch told Interfax.
"In addition, we expect to reduce management expenses and gain
economic benefits from expanding the powers and responsibilities
of local executives."
Interfax reveals that Razrez Mugunsky Mining Co previously
provided production services to SUEK subsidiary Vostsibugol,
which holds the license to mine brown coal at the Mugunskoye
deposit. However, Vostsibugol now operates independently,
mining coal through its Mugunsky branch.

YUKOS OIL: Court Nixes Yugansk Loan Security for Yukos
------------------------------------------------------
The Arbitration Court of Moscow has invalidated Yuganskneftegaz
security for the $1.6 billion loan to Yukos under a lawsuit
filed by Rosneft and Baikal Finance Group, Itar-Tass says.
According to the report, the Court also nixed the plaintiffs'
demand to collect up to RUB100 million from Yuganskneftegaz,
Moravel Investment Ltd., Yukos, Yukos Exploration and Production
and Yukos Moscow in compensation for damages.
The loan security agreement was signed in May 2004, the Russian
news agency relates.
Headquartered in Moscow, Russia, Yukos Oil Company --
http://yukos.com/-- is an open joint stock company existing
under the laws of the Russian Federation. Yukos is involved in
the energy industry substantially through its ownership of its
various subsidiaries, which own or are otherwise entitled to
enjoy certain rights to oil and gas production, refining and
marketing assets.
The Company filed for Chapter 11 protection Dec. 14, 2004
(Bankr. S.D. Tex. Case No. 04-47742), but the case was dismissed
on Feb. 24, 2005, by the Hon. Letitia Z. Clark. A few days
after, its main production unit Yugansk, was sold by the
government to a little-known firm Baikalfinansgroup for US$9.35
billion, as payment for US$27.5 billion in tax arrears for 2000-
2003. Yugansk eventually was bought by state-owned Rosneft,
which is now claiming more than US$12 billion from Yukos.
YUKOS OIL: Affirms Steven Theede's Position as CEO
--------------------------------------------------
Embattled Yukos Oil Company clarifies Steven Theede's authority
as the Company's President following recent reports indicating
that the Federal Migration Service is questioning Mr. Theede's
position due to the absence of a Russian Work Permit.
"Mr. Theede carries out his duties as President of Yukos Oil
Company outside of Russia and Russian law does not prevent such
an arrangement," the Company said last week.
"Under Russian law, Mr. Theede's powers and duties as OAO NK
YUKOS President were conferred upon him in strict compliance
with Russian Civil Code and the Law on Joint Stock Companies.
The authorities vested in him are conferred by the Board of
Directors of OAO NK YUKOS. To this end, the issues relating to
Mr. Theede's Visa and/or Work Permit are purely a matter of
administrative law rather than corporate law and their absence
do not affect his ability to carry out his duties with the
complete authority vested in him by the Board of Directors under
corporate law," the Company added.
Mr. Theede is in self-imposed exile in London, Bloomberg News
reports.

REFCO LLC: Probe Reveals Refco Held $525,000,000 in Fake Bonds
--------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. prosecutors investigating Refco, LLC's collapse, have found
that Refco held "offshore accounts" with as much as $525,000,000
in fake bonds, Bloomberg News reports.
This indicates that Refco's financial troubles may be more
extensive than previously reported.
Evidence gathered by prosecutors indicates that Refco held the
securities for Bawag P.S.K. Bank, Austria's fourth-largest bank,
and Liquid Opportunity, an offshore hedge fund, under
identification numbers that do not correspond to registered
bonds, Otis Bilodeau and Allan Dodds Frank at Bloomberg News
relate.
Bawag and Liquid Opportunity had shares in six Anguilla
companies, which in turn held the bonds, according to Bloomberg.
Mr. Frank says U.S. Attorney Michael Garcia and the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission are trying to find out where
the bonds originated and how they were valued.
The bond accounts were at Refco's Bermuda-based unit, beyond the
reach of U.S. regulators.
Refco's counsel, Anthony Clark, Esq., at Skadden, Arps, Slate,
Meagher & Flom, in Wilmington, Delaware, declined to comment on
the bond accounts.
Bawag asserts EUR392,000,000 in claims against Refco, including
EUR350,000,000 it loaned to Phillip Bennett, Refco's former CEO.
The remaining EUR42,000,000 euros relates to "other businesses
in connection with Refco," Bloomberg says.
Bloomberg also notes that Refco's creditors are hunting for
information about six companies based in the British West Indies
that may be linked to the fake bonds.
Liquid Opportunities Responds
LONGWOOD, Florida -- March 16, 2006 -- Jonathan P. Knight,
portfolio manager of Liquid Opportunities, responds to Bloomberg
article on Refco. Re Messrs Bilodeau and Frank about Refco,
BAWAG and a non-U.S. fund they refer to as "Liquid
Opportunities."
Mr. Knight states that:
"The March 15 article in Bloomberg regarding the
relationship between Refco and BAWAG unfairly casts a shadow
over Liquid Opportunities Plus Fund, a legitimate investment
fund which has always operated in a lawful and ethical manner,
and the reporters' 'guilt by association' implications are
inappropriate."
"I was involved in the management of Liquid Opportunities
until November 2004. Liquid Opportunities was an offshore
investment fund with non-U.S. investors that primarily owned
non-U.S. securities.
"Thus, Liquid Opportunities was not registered with the SEC
or any other U.S. Agency.
"The fund's mandate included the administration of several
Euro-denominated note instruments contributed by an investor.
To hold such non-U.S. instruments, Liquid Opportunities
maintained a custody account at Refco's non-U.S. subsidiary,
Refco Capital Markets.
"As stated in the story, it is true that the instruments
mentioned above were not registered securities, but rather they
were private instruments each with a single lender and a single
borrower. As is the norm in such a circumstance, the
instruments were not registered, either publicly or with a
transfer agent, and thus would not reflect a CUSIP or other
standardized identifying information. The article suggests that
the instruments were 'fake' or 'phantom.' There was absolutely
nothing about the instruments, either on their face or in
terms of their handling, that suggested that they were
problematic in any way. No one, including no government
official, has suggested that Liquid Opportunities had any reason
to suspect any irregularity with regard to the instruments. In
fact, Liquid Opportunities never suspected any irregularity.
Any implication to the contrary implied in the article is
inappropriate.
"At the end of 2004, Liquid Opportunities was fully
redeemed(including the shares of the six companies mentioned in
the article) and, pursuant to that redemption, all positions
were removed from the custody of RCM.
"Upon the publication of bankruptcy documents listing the
mentioned companies as creditors, documentation was delivered
with all due haste to Skadden Arps, Refco's attorneys, notifying
that law firm that none of the companies were ever creditors of
Refco nor had any claim against Refco. The fact that Skadden
Arps has not removed those entities as creditors should be
addressed to that law firm.
"Finally, to correct a factual mis-statement in the
article, I have never (a) invested or co-invested in a
Liechtenstein entity or (b) commingled capital alongside BAWAG
P.S.K. in a vehicle that invested in a company or any other
investment."
Headquartered in New York, New York, Refco Inc. --

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR-Europe contains a list of
companies with insolvent balance sheets based on the latest
publicly available balance sheet available to our editors at the
time of publication. At first glance, this list may look like
the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell
short. Don't be fooled. Assets, for example, reported at
historical cost net of depreciation may understate the true
value of a firm's assets. A company may establish reserves on
its balance sheet for liabilities that may never materialize.
The prices at which equity securities trade in public market are
determined by more than a balance sheet solvency test.
