BAWAG PSK: Moody's Downgrades Financial Strength Rating to C-
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded to C- from C the bank
financial strength rating of Bawag P.S.K. Bank fuer Arbeit und
Wirtschaft und Oesterreichische Postsparkasse AG (Bawag P.S.K.)
and put this rating as well as all other short- and long-term
ratings of BAWAG P.S.K. on review for possible downgrade.

Moody's downgrade of BAWAG's FSR to C- reflects the agency's
concerns regarding recently disclosed transactions, which
highlight weaknesses in the bank's risk management controls and
procedures.  Moody's added it decided to place all ratings under
review for possible downgrade after BAWAG P.S.K. unveiled losses
of around EUR1 billion in interest rate and currency derivative
trades in 2000.  These transactions were conducted through
Caribbean offshore financial companies.  

The review will focus on BAWAG P.S.K.'s recent breaches of
corporate and risk management governance and the potential
effects of these breaches on its franchise and standing in the
financial markets.  The review of BAWAG P.S.K.'s deposit and
debt ratings will also focus on the likelihood of support from
its shareholder (the Oesterreichische Gewerkschaftsbund trade
union) as well as from the Austrian government in light of BAWAG
P.S.K.'s importance to the Austrian financial system.

Moody's stressed that with respect to risk management procedures
as well as risk culture within BAWAG P.S.K., deficiencies have
become apparent.  The agency believes that a fully transparent
and comprehensive disclosure of the past transactions and, going
forward, new and efficient risk management procedures as well as
strong control mechanisms will be necessary.

These ratings were put under review for possible downgrade:

   -- Bawag P.S.K. long-term debt and deposit rating of A3;

   -- Bawag P.S.K. short-term debt and deposit rating of P-1;

   -- Bawag P.S.K. FSR of C-;

   -- Bawag Capital Finance (Jersey) Ltd debt and deposit rating
      of Baa2;

   -- Bawag Capital Finance (Jersey) II Ltd debt and deposit
      rating of Baa2; and

   -- Bawag Capital Finance (Jersey) III Ltd debt and deposit
      rating of Baa2;

Headquartered in Vienna, Austria, BAWAG P.S.K. had total assets
of EUR56.3 billion as of Dec. 31, 2004.


RHI AG: Posts Preliminary Financial Results for Fiscal 2005
-----------------------------------------------------------
RHI AG disclosed its preliminary financial results for fiscal
year 2005.  The Company posted a EUR99.8 million profit in 2005,
compared to EUR99.7 million in the previous year.

The profit attributable to stockholders of RHI (after minority
interest) amounts to EUR98.1 million, compared to EUR95 million
in 2004.  

The Company confirms that the strategic direction taken
following the crisis in 2001 has been successful.  After the
contract to sell the Insulating Group was signed in January, RHI
is now fully concentrating on extending the globally leading
technology and market position of RHI Refractories.

As RHI signed a contract to sell the Heraklith Group in January
2006, the insulating division is already shown as "discontinued
operations" in fiscal 2005 in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards regulations.  Although profit of
the RHI Group according to IFRS still comprises the entire
business of the Group and thus also the insulating division, the
group figures for revenue, EBIT and other earnings figures, have
been "adjusted" for Insulating.  In order to ensure better
comparability, revenue and EBIT 2005 are shown as both figures
comparable to 2004 and in accordance with IFRS.  Both versions
are also shown in the attached overview "Key figures of the RHI
Group".

                       Preliminary Results

On a comparable basis, RHI's consolidated revenue amounted to
EUR1.451 billion in 2005 up 11.9%, from EUR1.29 billion in 2004.  
Revenue from refractories rose by 7.5% to EUR1.18 billion, from
EUR1.10 billion in 2004.  With the successful acquisition in
Slovenia, Insulating increased revenue significantly by 40.7% to
EUR 255.4 million in 2005, from EUR181.5 million in the previous
year.

The RHI Group's EBIT comparable to 2005 reached EUR139.5
million, up 2.9% from EUR 135.6 million in 2004.  Refractories
reported EBIT of EUR117.8 million, compared to EUR123.2 million
in 2004, as a result of energy and raw material costs, which
continued to rise in 2005.  The EBIT margin fell to 9.9%, a good
figure compared to the competition.  Insulating more than
doubled its EBIT to EUR21.7 million, from the previous year's
EUR10.1 million, and once again significantly improved its EBIT
margin to 8.5% (2004: 5.5%).

In accordance with IFRS, RHI's consolidated revenue in 2005
amounted to EUR1.20 billion, up 7.1% from the previous year's
EUR1.12 billion.  This consolidated revenue shows the continuing
refractories operations and other revenue in the amount of
EUR14.3 million.

The RHI Group's EBIT recorded in accordance with IFRS was
EUR117.8 million in 2005 (2004: EUR 125.5 million).  

All of the above mentioned data for 2005 are preliminary.  The
final results as well as RHI's consolidated balance sheet 2005
will be published on April 25, following the approval of the
balance sheet.

Headquartered in Vienna, Austria, RHI AG --
http://www.rhi-ag.com/-- manufactures heat-resistant refractory  
products such as steelmaking, copper and aluminum smelting, and
glass production, and in the construction of industrial kilns.

At Dec. 31, 2004, the Company's balance sheet showed a EUR310.5
million stockholders' deficit, compared to a EUR422.7 million
deficit at Dec. 31,2003.


RHI AG: Supervisory Board Extends Management Board to 4 Members
---------------------------------------------------------------
At a Feb. 15 meeting, the Supervisory Board of RHI AG decided
unanimously to extend the Board of Management from three to four
members as of January 2007.

Chief Executive Director Dr. Helmut Draxler will leave the Board
of Management of RHI AG at his own request when his existing
contract expires in January 2007.  He declined the offered
contract extension for personal reasons.

Dr. Andreas Meier, currently deputy CEO, was appointed Dr.
Draxler's successor.  Responsible for the global refractories
activities of the RHI Group, Dr. Meier played a decisive role in
the successful path of RHI Refractories to become world market
leader.

Dr. Eduard Zehetner will remain Chief Financial Officer with
extended responsibilities.  His contract was renewed in 2005,
and he was appointed deputy CEO as of Jan. 1, 2007.

The RHI Group will in the future continue to expand as a company
solely focused on refractories and enhance its leading position
in the world market after the sale of the Heraklith division.

Dr. Giorgio Cappelli and Dr. Manfred H"dl, both successful
managers in the RHI Group for many years, were appointed deputy
board members with effect from Jan. 1, 2007, to enforce customer
and market development.

Dr. Cappelli will be responsible for the customer segment steel
worldwide, Dr. H"dl for the industrial segment, which comprises
the customer industries cement, lime, glass, nonferrous metals,
energy and environmental technology.

Following the sale of the Heraklith division, the RHI Group will
make forceful use of the gained financial scope and expand the
world-wide refractories business.  There are good chances in the
raw material and business area to achieve sustained success in
RHI Refractories' market position and earnings strength within
the next years.

METSO CORPORATION: Earns EUR237 Million in Fiscal 2005
------------------------------------------------------
Metso Corp. reported its annual report for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2005.

In 2005, the Company posted a consolidated EUR237 million net
profit against EUR1.1 billion in gross profit, compared to a
EUR144 million profit against a EUR929 million gross profit in
2004.

At Dec. 31, 2005, the Company's balance sheet showed EUR3.9
billion in total assets, EUR2.6 billion in total liabilities,
and EUR1.2 billion in stockholders' equity.  

               Liquidity and Capital Resources

In 2005, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to
EUR164 million, compared to EUR 261 million in 2004.  Although
the cash flow in 2005 was strengthened through improved
profitability, the growth in net sales and orders received
caused an increase in working capital.

"Our funding is mainly of a long-term nature and long-term debt
accounted for 75 percent of our total interest bearing debt at
the end of 2005," the Company disclosed in its Form 20-F filed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  "The long-
term debt, consisting primarily of bonds and loans from
financial institutions, amounted to EUR593 million as of Dec.
31, 2005, and EUR885 million as of Dec. 31, 2004.  The bonds
consisted principally of three bond loans with the principal
outstanding amounts of US$109 million (EUR92 million), EUR156
million and EUR257 million.  

"The U.S. dollar denominated bond was issued in the United
States in December 1997 and registered with the SEC.  It matures
in 2007 and bears a fixed annual interest rate of 6.875%.  In
December 2000, we established a Euro Medium Term Note Program of
EUR1 billion, under which initially a EUR500 million bond loan
was issued in December 2001.  The bond loan matures in 2006 and
carries a fixed interest rate of 6.25%.  

"In spring 2004, EUR88 million worth of the bonds were exchanged
into bonds with maturities of five to seven years through
private placements.  In November 2004, we completed an offer to
exchange the remaining bonds to new euro-denominated bonds
maturing in 2011.  EUR256 million of existing bonds were validly
submitted and accepted for exchange.  EUR274 million of new
bonds were issued and they carry a fixed interest rate of
5.125%.  As a result, the remaining outstanding amount of the
bond loan maturing in 2006 is EUR156 million," the Company said.

As of December 31, 2005, the undrawn committed long-term credit
facilities of Metso totaled EUR300 million and the undrawn
committed short-term credit facilities amounted to EUR100
million.

Headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, Metso Corporation --
http://www.metso.com/-- is a global engineering and technology

term Ba1 credit rating and changed the rating outlook from
stable to positive on Dec. 13, 2005.  Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services has confirmed Metso's existing long-term BB+ corporate
rating, the BB rating on bonds issued and the EMTN program, as
well as the B rating on short-term credits, and has kept the
rating outlook as stable.  The Company disclosed that there are
no prepayment covenants in its financial contracts that would be
triggered by changes in its credit ratings.

ROMPETROL GROUP: Says Fitch's Outlook Won't Affect Operations
-------------------------------------------------------------
Netherlands-based The Rompetrol Group NV disclosed that the
rating outlook issued on March 13, by Fitch Ratings will not
influence its operational or financial capacity.

"The negative outlook rating does not imply a rating change is
inevitable or imminent" according to Fitch's definition of this
instrument.  The change has an advisory character and was issued
following an illegal freeze ordered early March by Romanian
prosecutors on 25.89% of unpledged TRG shares in Rompetrol
Rafinare SA, TRG's main Romanian subsidiary.  TRG will continue
to retain voting and management rights over its assets, as well
as the ability to receive dividends.

"While the Fitch advisory is understandable, it is the effect of
an abusive and unfounded protracted investigation conducted
publicly by the General Prosecutor's Office of Romania, designed
to damage TRG's reputation, harm its business, and hurt a number
of individual managers and owners of the company, including
myself," said Philip Stephenson, TRG Vice Chairman.  "This
unilateral action by the prosecutors, which we have immediately
challenged, in no way affects shares that are already pledged.  
It freezes only the shares held by TRG that are without any
secured interest, means or encumbrances.  We are confident that
through legal means we will get this prosecutorial act nullified
and thereby have the freeze on the shares lifted.  Ultimately,
we are confident that we will demonstrate that this is yet
another abuse by the prosecutors which a court will remedy in
our favor," Mr. Stephenson detailed.

The Fitch report points out that the investigation has "had no
impact on TRG's liquidity" and that the "lending banks continue
to fund the group on a secured basis."  The company has
strengthened its international management and has put in place
detailed contingency plans for any eventuality that could result
from this investigation.

                       About the Company

The Rompetrol Group NV -- http://www.rompetrol.com/-- is an oil  
company with the majority of its assets and operations in
France, Romania, Spain and South-Eastern Europe.  The group is
active primarily in refining and downstream marketing, with
additional operations in exploration and production, and other
oil industry services such as drilling, EPCM, transportation,
etc.  With a staff of 8,000 employees, TRG reported gross
revenues of US$2.34 billion in 2005.

                        *     *     *

On March 13, Fitch Ratings changed the Outlook of Netherlands-
based The Rompetrol Group N.V.'s Issuer Default Rating of B- to
Negative from Stable.

TEMIR CAPITAL: Fitch Rates US$150 Mil. Notes at Long-Term B-
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings assigned Temir Capital B.V.'s issue of US$150
million 9.25% notes due March 2009 a final Long-term B- rating
and a final Recovery rating RR4.

Proceeds from the issue of the notes will be deposited with
Kazakhstan's Temirbank.  Temir has unconditionally and
irrevocably guaranteed the timely and full repayment of the
notes in the trust deed between Temir, Temir Capital B.V. and
the trustee, The Bank of New York.  

Temir Capital B.V. is a Netherlands-domiciled subsidiary of
Temir, which is rated Issuer Default B-, Short-term B,
Individual D/E, and Support 5.  The Outlook is Stable.

Temir is one of the 12 largest banks in Kazakhstan, but held a
small 1.4% of the system's assets at end-H105.  In 2005, its
owners changed the bank's senior management and refocused its
strategy towards aggressive growth in retail lending, in
particular mortgages and car loans.  

The new management team has been able to increase loans to
individuals by 145% in 11M05.  However, the bank's risk
management and operational capacities in this new area are still
to be demonstrated, and the quality of originated assets will be
tested only when a significant amount of the new loans seasons.

CONCORDIA BUS: Carnegie Investment Coordinates Stock Trading
------------------------------------------------------------
Concordia Bus has made an agreement with Carnegie Investment
Bank to coordinate interests in buying and selling Concordia Bus
shares.  The buyer and the seller pay a commission to Carnegie
for each transaction.

In connection with the reconstruction of the Concordia Bus Group
during 2005, some thirty investors converted their bondholding
in Concordia Bus AB to shares.  After the conversion of the
bonds, the company has noted a trade interest and an expectation
that the shares are tradable.  The assignment of Carnegie
satisfies these expectations.

Headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, Concordia Bus AB --
http://www.concordiabus.com/-- is the largest private bus  
transportation company in the Nordic region with revenues for
the six months period ended Aug. 31, 2005, of SEK2.3 billion.

At Feb. 28, 2005, the Company's balance sheet showed
SEK873 million in stockholders' deficit, compared to a SEK330
million deficit at Feb. 29, 2004.

                        *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on Feb. 15,
Moody's Investors Service has upgraded the corporate family
rating of Concordia Bus AB to B3 from Caa3.

Concurrently the rating on the EUR130 million senior secured
notes issued by Concordia Bus Nordic AB was upgraded to B3 from
Caa1 and the rating on the EUR160 million senior subordinated
notes issued by Concordia Bus was withdrawn.

The ratings upgrade reflects Moody's view that the restructuring
has substantially strengthened the company's financial position
and that the current interest cost burden (estimated to be c.
SEK170 million per annum) should be sustainable over the near
term given the expected performance of the company.

In addition, the upgrade reflects the progress to date that the
company has made in exiting loss-making contracts and increasing
the proportion of indexation relating to labor costs and diesel
prices, as well as its success in winning new tenders despite
the uncertainty surrounding the company during its
restructuring.  Moreover, Moody's notes that the company's move
to the procurement of buses on a long-term, group-wide basis
should positively impact margins going forwards.

However, the rating continues to factor the company's high
financial leverage and the severe operational challenges faced
by the company, which are endemic across the Scandinavian bus
industry.  These include the fragmented, competitive markets in
which the company operates in as well as the under-indexation of
contract pricing which has destroyed margins on existing
contracts.  Whilst Moody's notes positively that pricing in
Concordia Bus' main market of Sweden appears to have stabilized
and that a recent contract awarded in Stockholm has factored in
a quality assessment of the bidders -- in which Concordia Bus
performed well -- as opposed to solely factoring in price, the
rating reflects Moody's expectation that pricing in Norway and
Finland will continue to decline.

These ratings have been upgraded:

   -- Concordia Bus AB's corporate family rating has been
      upgraded to B3 (from Caa3);

   -- The rating on the EUR130 million 9.125% secured notes due
      2009 issued by Concordia Bus Nordic AB has been upgraded
      to B3 from Caa1.

Moody's said the outlook for all ratings is stable.

Headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, Concordia Bus AB is the
largest private bus transportation company in the Nordic region
with revenues for the six months period ended Aug. 31, 2005, of
SEK2.3 billion.

NTL INCORPORATED: Moody's Assigns Ba3 Corporate Family Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a Ba3 corporate family
rating to NTL Incorporated (NTL) which, following the
combination of NTL Holdings Inc. (formerly NTL Incorporated) and
Telewest Global, Inc., is the ultimate parent of NTL Cable Plc
and Telewest Communications Networks Ltd.  

Concurrently Moody's upgraded NTL Cable Plc's senior notes to B2
from B3, assigned a Ba3 rating to NTL Investment Holdings
Limited's (NTLIH) new GBP 3.775 billion of senior secured credit
facilities and withdrew the ratings for NTLIH's and Telewest's
existing credit facilities, as well as the corporate family
ratings for NTL Cable and Telewest.  This concludes the ratings
review initiated for NTL Cable Plc and Telewest Communications
Networks Ltd. on Oct. 4, 2005.  The ratings outlook is stable.

The ratings upgrade reflects the solid market position of the
combined entity as well as the scale and capacity of its
upgraded network.  Prior to the combination, both NTL Cable and
Telewest's corporate family ratings were B1, reflecting the
substantial event risk associated with the anticipated
combination of the two companies and the uncertainty surrounding
the composition of such a transaction.  Nonetheless, absent this
event risk, both NTL Cable and Telewest were viewed as strongly
positioned in the B1 rating category.

Whilst integration of the two companies is expected to pose
significant operational challenges and the pro-forma leverage of
the combined entity is higher than for the standalone entities,
the current rating reflects Moody's view that both the
operational performance and competitive position of NTL has been
strengthened by the acquisition.  In particular, Moody's
believes that the scale of the combined entity should better
enable the company to more fully compete with BSkyB in Pay-TV
and, in particular, the rights to premium content.

However, the rating continues to reflect the highly competitive
market environments in which NTL operates.  For Internet and
telephony services, NTL faces strong competition from the larger
and better-capitalized incumbent telecommunications operator,
BT, and the number of re-sellers operating within the U.K.
market.  

Whilst Moody's expects broadband Internet to continue to be a
primary growth driver for NTL in the near term (given that
market penetration rates for the product still afford attractive
further growth prospects), the ratings agency cautions that
longer-term penetration and pricing levels for broadband remain
uncertain as the competitive forces of BT and DSL re-sellers
remains strong and price competition could continue to intensify
as market penetration levels further increase.

With respect to Pay-TV services, Moody's expects NTL to continue
to face strong competition from BSkyB, who controls a large
amount of premium content and -- despite the merger -- still
benefits from a larger client base, at the premium end of the
market and the rapidly growing free digital offering provided by
Freeview at the lower end.  Moody's notes, however, that
Telewest has demonstrated positive net cable television
subscriber additions over the last two years and, whilst
performance for NTL Cable has been more volatile, the company
has reported video subscriber gains over the same period.

The rating also factors in NTL's high debt leverage levels
combined with Moody's expectation that going forward the
company's free cash flow generation will be constrained by high
levels of capex (albeit mainly success based) and investment in
programming and content.  The rating also considers the strong
possibility of an acquisition of Virgin Mobile although assumes
that any such acquisition would be structured such that the
company's credit metrics do not weaken.  Whilst Moody's believes
that the integration of Virgin Mobile concurrent with the
combination of NTL Cable with Telewest would be challenging,
Moody's recognizes the potential benefits that could result from
such an acquisition in terms of increased customer reach and
increased product offering as well as the use of the Virgin
brand.

The Virgin Mobile acquisition aside, Moody's expects that NTL
will remain focused on the UK market and consequently, following
the combination of NTL Cable and Telewest, the rating does not
factor any material acquisition activity or resultant additional
integration risks.

More positively, the ratings also reflect NTL's extensive
network infrastructure and established subscriber base, the
substantially upgraded nature of the company's network which
allows for future capital expenditures to be more success-based,
the company's attractive product offerings (broadband Internet,
telephony and digital TV) and ability to bundle multiple
services and an experienced management team.

Despite high pro-forma financial leverage and significant
integration risks, the stable outlook reflects Moody's
expectation that the company's operating performance will
strengthen as a result of the merger and that financial metrics
will continue to improve.

Further positive momentum in the ratings would most likely be
driven by an improvement in the combined company's operating
margins (such that the company's EBITDA margin exceeds 35%) as a
result of the successful integration of Telewest combined with
continuing positive momentum in operating performance trends.  
Should Total Adjusted Debt to EBITDAR fall below 4.0x, there
would likely be upward pressure on the ratings.

Downward pressure on the ratings could result if the expected
improvement in the company's credit metrics did not materialize
over the next eighteen months.  Should adjusted debt leverage
remain above 5x over this period as a result of a more intense
competitive environment than anticipated, lower synergies,
higher investment in programming and content or the company's
acquisition strategy, the outlook is likely to be changed from
stable to negative.  A ratings downgrade is likely in the event
that the company's adjusted total leverage deteriorates to above
5.5x for a sustained period.

The rating of the senior secured credit facilities reflects
their relative ranking in the capital structure and the benefits
of a strong covenant, guarantee, and security package.  The
rating of the NTL Cable Plc notes reflects their structural,
effective, and contractual subordination to a substantial amount
of subsidiary indebtedness, including existing and potential
future drawings under the company's senior credit facilities.  
It also factors in Moody's view that the likelihood of the
company receiving a positive tax ruling from the IRS is
reasonable and that consequently the GBP 1.8 billion bridge at
NTL Holdings Inc. will be repaid through an additional GBP 1.2
billion of senior secured debt and GBP 600 million of pari passu
bonds at NTL Cable Plc.

In the event that the IRS tax ruling is negative, and the
company has to refinance the bridge via GBP 1.8 billion of
subordinated notes, the rating of the existing notes would
narrow to one notch from the corporate family rating (from two
notches), reflecting the substantial cushion of structurally
subordinated debt below them.

Summary of rating actions:

New ratings assigned:

   -- a Ba3 corporate family rating at NTL Incorporated; and

   -- a Ba3 rating to the GBP 3.775 billion senior secured
      credit facilities issued by NTL Investment Holdings
      Limited et al.

Ratings upgraded:

   -- Senior notes due 2014 issued by NTL Cable Plc upgraded to
      B2 from B3;

Ratings withdrawn:

   -- The B1 rating on the GBP 2.425 billion senior secured bank
      facility due 2012 issued by NTL Investment Holdings
      Limited;

   -- The B1 corporate family rating at NTL Cable Plc;

   -- The B1 corporate family rating at Telewest Communications
      Networks Ltd.;

   -- The B1 rating on Telewest Communications Networks Ltd's
      GBP1.55 billion first-lien senior secured bank facilities
      due 2011; and

   -- The B3 rating on Telewest Communications Networks Ltd's
      GBP250 million second lien senior secured bank facilities
      due 2014.

The outlook for all ratings is stable.

NTL Inc. is the UK's largest cable operator and a leading
provider of broadband, digital television, telephony, content
and communications services to homes, businesses and public
sector organizations.  For the year ending Dec. 31, 2005, the
company's pro-forma revenues were approximately GBP3.5 million.  


NTL HOLDINGS: Fitch Ratings Lowers Issuer Default Rating to B+
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings lowered NTL Holdings Inc.'s Issuer Default Rating
to B+ from BB- and removed it from Rating Watch Negative.  The
Short-term B rating is affirmed.  Simultaneously, both the IDR
and the Short-term ratings have been withdrawn.  

At the same time the agency has assigned NTL Inc. an IDR of B+
with Stable Outlook and a Short-term B rating, following the
merger with Telewest.  Furthermore Fitch has assigned NTL
Investment Holdings Limited's GBP3.3 billion senior secured
credit facilities BB+/RR1.  

The BBB- rating of the bank facilities signed in March 2004,
which have been refinanced, is withdrawn.  Fitch has also
changed the Rating Watch on NTL Cable Plc's senior notes to
Evolving from Negative, pending the final funding structure of
the recently completed merger with Telewest.

NTL Cable PLC:

  a) GBP375 million 9.75% senior notes due 2014: B+/RR4;
  b) US$425 million 8.75% senior notes due 2014: B+/RR4; and
  c) EUR225 million 8.75% senior notes due 2014: B+/RR4.

The IDR primarily reflects the increased leverage assumed by the
new NTL as a result of the Telewest merger, which at transaction
close was 4.7x.  While Fitch acknowledges the company's
strengthened business position, which includes the market number
one position in broadband, and number two positions in the UK
telephony and pay-TV markets, along with the scale and cost
synergies that the merger enables, recovery to pre-merger
leverage could take between two to three years to achieve.

However, faster progress than currently envisaged towards de-
leveraging targets could lead to a Positive Outlook or an
upgrade within this timeframe.

A Director in Fitch's European TMT group, Stuart Reid
articulated, "The step-change in net leverage resulting from the
merger, rising to 4.7x at transaction close from 2.2x as at
year-end 2005, is too pronounced not to affect the ratings."

"While the enlarged group exhibits a strong business profile and
can be expected to benefit from significant cost synergies, when
compared with other cable operators in the leveraged world, B+
is the more appropriate level for the company at this time," he
added.

The final consolidation of the UK's cable operators creates a
national cable franchise with significantly enhanced scale.  The
merger introduces an important skill set in the form of
Telewest's content capabilities, an important factor in an
increasingly complex TV market place.

Rationalization of duplicate back office functions should drive
cost savings, while the adoption of Telewest's best practices
should improve customer satisfaction and reduce churn.  Although
management has not guided on potential revenue synergies Fitch
considers opportunities exist to grow consumer revenues through
increased bundling of services and increased penetration of the
business market.

In addition to senior secured bank funding totaling GBP3.3
billion; the company has in place a GBP1.8 billion bridge
facility, funding the cash part of the merger.  The company will
refinance the bridge in one of two ways;

1) by issuing GBP1.8 billion of subordinated notes at the NTL
    Holdings Inc level with subordinated guarantees from NTL
    Inc.; or

2) by converting GBP1.2 billion into senior secured debt at NTL
    Investment Holdings Limited and issuing GBP600 million of
    pari passu notes at NTL Cable PLC.

The Rating Watch on the NTL Cable PLC's notes has been changed
to Evolving to reflect the potential for the rating to move
either up or down subject to the level of structural
subordination and senior debt ranking ahead of the notes
depending on the structure adopted.

On March 3, 2006 NTL completed the long-awaited merger with
Telewest, creating a national cable operator passing 12.6
million homes passed or 52% of UK TV households.  With
approximately 5 million customers, representing 39.3%
penetration of homes marketed, the enlarged group represents a
strong competitor to BSkyB and BT Group, each of which is
endeavoring to expand its service offering to include the
triple-play bundle of telephony, broadband and multi-channel TV.
NTL Inc.'s discussions with Virgin Mobile over the prospect of a
bid for the UK virtual mobile network operator are ongoing.

ZERO DIVIDEND: Board Sends Liquidation Proposal to Shareholders
---------------------------------------------------------------
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on March 15,
the Board of Zero Dividend Recovery Fund Limited resolved to
place the Company in members' voluntary liquidation after
concluding that the move is the most appropriate course of
action for the Company.

In a circular distributed to shareholders on March 24, the Board
disclosed that liquidators will be appointed to lead the
winding-up proceedings and the net proceeds of the Company's
assets will be distributed to shareholders.

The Liquidators will set aside sufficient assets in the
Liquidation Fund to meet the Company's liabilities including the
costs of the voluntary winding up of the Company.  The
Liquidators will also provide in the Liquidation Fund for a
Retention which they consider sufficient to meet any contingent
and unknown liabilities of the Company.  This Retention is
currently expected not to exceed GBP75,000.  

On the basis of the published net asset value (based on bid
prices) of the Company as at the close of business on March 22,
the net assets of the Company available for distribution to
Shareholders on a liquidation would be approximately GBP6.9
million (equivalent to approximately 57.7 pence per Share).  
This assumes the successful realization of all the investments
at bid prices, the Retention not being utilized and deducts the
estimated costs of the voluntary winding up of the Company.

Depending on prevailing market conditions, the Company may
dispose of some of its portfolio in the market prior to the
extraordinary general meeting.

The winding up will take effect upon the filing of the
Resolution with H. M. Greffier in Guernsey, which is expected to
take place shortly after completion of the Meeting.  The size
and timing of the liquidation distributions will depend on the
timing and amount actually realized on the sale of the
investments.  The Liquidators expect to make an initial capital
distribution by May 12, 2006, to shareholders on the share
register at the close of business on April 13, 2006.  It is
currently expected that the initial capital distribution
to Shareholders will be of a sum equivalent to the Company's
realized resources (less the Liquidation Fund) which are
available at the time of making the distribution.  Based on the
assumptions stated above and assuming that the entire portfolio
has been realized prior to the distribution being made, the
initial capital distribution would be approximately 57.1 pence
per Share.

The balance of the Company's assets, including the Retention,
would potentially be available for future distributions to
shareholders.  The size and timing of any future distributions
will again depend on the timing and amount actually realized on
the sale of the Company's assets and also the ongoing costs
payable during the liquidation and settlement of any currently
unknown or contingent liabilities.

The Share register will be closed at the conclusion of the
business day on April 13, and, to be valid, all transfers must
be lodged and transactions in CREST settled before that time.  
Transfers received by the Registrars after the close of business
on April 13, will be returned to the person lodging them.  
Shareholders should be aware that dealings in the Shares after
close of business on April 10, will be for cash settlement only.

                        Stock Listing

Dealings in Shares on the London Stock Exchange and the CISX
will be suspended at the opening of business on April 13, and at
the same time the listing on the Official Lists will be
suspended.  If the voluntary winding up of the Company becomes
effective, it is the intention of the Company to apply for the
cancellation of the listing of the Shares on the Official Lists
with effect from April 27.

                           Costs

The expenses incurred in relation to the voluntary winding up of
the Company (including all financial advice, other professional
advice, the compensation payable to the Manager and the
Registrar and the Liquidators' charges) are currently estimated
to amount to approximately GBP154,000.

                       Events Leading to
                   the Voluntary Liquidation

The Company was launched in April 2002 with gross assets of
GBP16 million, comprising GBP12.0 million raised from the issue
of Shares and GBP4.0 million of bank debt drawn down.  However,
the significant fall in the stock market and the collapse of
confidence and prices in the zero dividend preference share
market in the Company's first financial year were compounded by
the effect of the gearing.  

The Company first breached its banking covenants in May 2002 and
was forced to repay GBP2.8 million of borrowings before the end
of its first financial year on March 31, 2003, by which date the
net assets of the Company had fallen to only GBP3.2 million.

The Company has benefited from the recovery in the zero dividend
preference share market from the lows reached in mid March 2003
and the net assets (based on bid prices) have recovered to
approximately GBP7.1 million (equivalent to 59.01 pence per
share) as at the close of business on March 22.  However, the
Board does not believe that, with the continued shrinking of the
number of potential zero dividend preference share investments
which are available in the market and the current size of the
Company together with the associated running costs, the Company
would produce acceptable rates of return for shareholders
going forward.  The Directors therefore now believe that it
would be in the best interests of Shareholders for the Company
to be placed into liquidation.

Headquartered in St. Peter Port, Guernsey, Zero Dividend
Recovery Fund Limited operates as an investment trust.
