HEIDELBERGCEMENT AG: S&P Revise Ratings on Better Performance
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on
Germany-based cement producer HeidelbergCement AG to positive
from stable.
"This reflects further improvements in the group's financial
profile in 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, as well as
reduced leverage at the Spohn Cement GmbH level," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Eve Greb.
At the same time, the 'BB+' long-term and 'B' short-term
corporate credit ratings, and the ratings on all outstanding
debt of HeidelbergCement and its related entities were affirmed.
The ratings on HeidelbergCement reflect the group's moderate
financial structure and the cement industry's cyclicality and
heavy capital intensity.
These factors are offset by the company's large size, broad
geographic diversity, strong market positions, and sustained
ability to generate healthy funds from operations.
The positive outlook reflects our expectation of further
improvements in HeidelbergCement's financial profile, as
probable continued growth in North America, Eastern Europe, and
Asia will bolster free cash-flow generation. The ratings on
HeidelbergCement would likely be raised if the company continues
to strengthen its financial profile and improve its FFO-to-net
debt ratio -- adjusted for operating leases and post-tax
unfunded pension liabilities -- to a range of 25% to 30% on a
sustainable basis, when there is still a substantial level of
debt at the Spohn level.
"If the Spohn debt is repaid, the ratings on HeidelbergCement
may be raised if FFO-to-fully adjusted net debt ratios improve
to about 25%. Significant debt-financed acquisitions, or
renewed market pressures in Germany, in particular, could
trigger an outlook revision to stable," added Ms. Greb.

ALITALIA SPA: Has Until May 11 to Operate Sardinian Flights
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Regional Administrative Court in Lazio lifted Friday a ban
on Alitalia SpA flights to Sardinia imposed by civilian aviation
authority Ente Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile, Il Sole 24 Ore
says.
As reported in TCR Europe on May 5, ENAC barred Alitalia from
using the Rome-to-Cagliari and Milan-to-Cagliari routes after
the carrier failed to beat the deadline for application for
renewal. Alitalia filed for renewal on April 27, three days
after the April 24 deadline. ENAC had awarded the Cagliari
routes to carriers Air One and Meridiana.
The Court allowed Alitalia to operate the routes until May 11,
when it will convene to hear the issue. Meridiana imposed a
EUR9 fare on the Cagliari-to-Rome from the May 5 to 11, in
response to the Court's order.
Meanwhile, unions have demanded the government to conduct a
management review at Alitalia for being "wholly inadequate" for
missing the deadline and putting hundreds of jobs at risk, Il
Sole 24 Ore relates.
Headquartered in Rome, Italy, Alitalia S.p.A. --
http://www.alitalia.it/-- generates around EUR4.8 billion in
annual revenue and employs more than 11,000 people. As of March
31, its net debt stood at EUR939 Million. Alitalia flies to
about 80 destinations in more than 60 countries from hubs in
Rome and Milan and operates a fleet of about 185 aircraft.
Despite a EUR1.4 billion state-backed restructuring in 1997 and
a EUR1.4 billion capital injection two years ago, Alitalia has
yet to post its fifth profit in 16 years.
BANCA ITALEASE: Fitch Affirms Individual Rating at C
----------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings affirmed Italy-based Banca Italease's ratings at
Issuer Default A-, Short-term F2, Individual C and Support 2.
The Outlook for the Issuer Default rating remains Stable.
At the same time the agency assigned an expected Long-term
rating of BBB+ to the bank's announced issue of EUR150 million
trust preferred securities through Banca Italease Capital Trust.
Banca Italease's IDR, Short-term and Individual ratings are
based on its good performance, which has seen a further sharp
rise in operating profit in 2005 and Q106, its access to a large
customer base for its leasing activity and acceptable asset
quality. The ratings also reflect pressure on capital adequacy
as a result of rapid business growth and increased concentration
in the bank's loan book, as well as the risks inherent in Banca
Italease's fast growth.
The expected ratings assigned to the trust preferred securities
reflect Fitch's standard notching policy. The final ratings are
contingent on receipt of final documents conforming to
information already received.
Rapid business growth, which has included growth through
acquisitions of smaller leasing companies and the merger with
factoring company Factorit, has resulted in a sharp improvement
in operating profit, which reached EUR159 million in 2005, up
62% compared to the previous year. The key drivers for stronger
profitability were higher revenues from increased business
volumes, which outpaced growth in operating expenses.
Banca Italease benefits from a good distribution network, which
includes around 4,900 branches of partner banks for leasing
products and 8,800 branches for factoring services. The bank
renewed and extended its distribution agreement with Poste
Italiane, the Italian post office, in March 2006 for a further
three years, which gives the bank access to the over 14,000 post
office branches throughout Italy.
In addition, the bank utilizes a network of agents and
intermediaries and operates through 37 branches. Banca Italease
intends to continue its growth strategy and has stated that it
is evaluating the possibility of expanding outside Italy.
While business growth has resulted in stronger profitability, it
has increased loan concentration in its real estate leasing
book. The rise in risk-weighted assets has also led to pressure
on the bank's capital adequacy as its Tier 1 ratio weakened to
6.13% at end-2005 from 7.14% at end-June 2005.
The planned issue of trust preferred securities will lead to an
improvement in capitalization, but the bank will have to manage
its growth strategy to ensure that capital levels remain
adequate. Fitch notes that the bank's IDR might come under
pressure if concentration in its loan book increases further or
if the bank fails to maintain its target capital ratios.
Banca Italease was Italy's largest leasing company by new
business volume in 2005. The bank's major shareholders, which
include Banco Popolare di Verona e Novara, Banca Popolare
dell'Emilia Romagna, Banca Antonveneta and Banca Popolare di
Sondrio, have formed a shareholders' pact that controls 51.6% of
Banca Italease's shares. The shareholders' agreement includes
measures to ensure operational, strategic and financial support
for Banca Italease, which are reflected in the bank's Support
rating.
IT HOLDING: Shareholders Extend Reconta E&Y as 2006 Auditors
------------------------------------------------------------
Shareholders of IT Holding S.p.A. approved its financial results
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2005 on April 28.
Consolidated net revenues amounted to EUR676 million and EBITDA
amounted EUR110.1 million, up by more than percentage point.
The shareholders also extended the appointment of Reconta Ernst
& Young S.p.A. as auditors of the financial statements for 2006
to 2011.
Headquartered in Italy, IT Holding S.p.A. --
http://www.itholding.it/-- is one of the leading players in the
luxury goods sector, and controls a group of companies that
design, produce and distribute high-quality products under owned
brands -- Ferre, Malo, Exte -- as well as under license
agreements -- D&G, Versus, Versace Jeans Couture, Just Cavalli,
C'N'C Costume National. Worldwide distributing network includes
29 directly operated stores, 111 other mono-brand stores and
over 4,000 highly selected department and specialty stores. IT
Holding has over 1,700 employees. It went public on November
1997 and its shares are traded on Milan Stock Exchange.
* * *
As reported in TCR-Europe on Dec. 16, 2005, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services said its B- long- term corporate credit rating
on Italian fashion company IT Holding S.p.A. remains on
CreditWatch with negative implications, where it was placed on
July 28, 2005.
At the same time, Standard & Poor's lowered its rating on the
senior secured debt issued by IT Holding Finance S.A. and
guaranteed by ITH to CCC+ from B-, reflecting an increase in
prior-ranking debt in ITH's capital structure. The rating also
remains on CreditWatch with negative implications, where it was
placed on July 28, 2005.

HARBOURMASTER PRO-RATA: Fitch Puts BB Rating to EUR26-Mln Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings placed Harbourmaster Pro-Rata CLO 1 B.V.'s
upcoming issue of EUR341 million floating-rate notes due 2021
expected ratings.
The transaction, a European arbitrage collateralized loan
obligation, is a securitization of primarily senior secured
loans. It is both the first such transaction that synthetically
references a portfolio of European leveraged loans and the first
transaction that includes exposure to the revolving credit
facilities of European leveraged loans. This transaction is the
seventh European CLO to be managed by Harbourmaster Capital
Limited.
-- EUR530 million senior credit default swap: not rated;
-- EUR160 million Class A1 notes: AAA;
-- EUR35 million Class A2 notes: AA;
-- EUR32 million Class A3 notes: A-;
-- EUR28 million Class B1 notes: BBB;
-- EUR26 million Class B2 notes: BB; and
-- EUR60 million Class C Subordinated notes: not rated.
The final ratings are contingent on the receipt of final
documents conforming to information already received.
The expected ratings of the Class A1 notes address ultimate
repayment of principal at maturity and timely payment of
interest when due. For all other Classes of notes the expected
ratings address ultimate payment of principal and interest,
including deferred interest, at maturity.
The ratings are based on the quality and diversity of the
portfolio of assets, which are selected by the collateral
manager subject to the guidelines outlined in the collateral
management agreement.
The said guidelines limit the collateral manager's portfolio
allocations with respect to obligor, industry and asset type.
Fitch assigned Harbourmaster a CDO Asset Manager Rating of 2 for
leveraged loans in September 2004 that was affirmed in November
2005, based on the manager's strong credit underwriting and
workout experience. The expected ratings are also based on the
credit enhancement provided to the various Classes of notes,
which consists of the subordinated notes, structural protection
covenants and excess spread.
This is the first European arbitrage CLO that enables the
manager to have larger exposure to the traditionally bank-
dominated revolving credit facility and term loan A portion of
European leveraged loan transactions. The assets are
synthetically referenced through a credit default swap with ABN
AMRO Bank N.V.
Through this, the issuer receives a premium from the swap
counterparty in exchange for loss protection on a reference
portfolio of senior secured and unsecured loans, which ABN AMRO
has granted across a variety of jurisdictions.
The issuer is a company with limited liability, incorporated
under the laws of the Netherlands. The net proceeds from the
note issuance will be invested in a guaranteed investment
contract, which serves as collateral for the notes.

ALJBA ALLIANCE: Moody's Cuts Currency Deposit Rating to B3
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the long-term foreign
currency deposit rating of Aljba Alliance Bank from B2 to B3.
The E+ Financial Strength Rating is maintained at its current
level. The outlook is developing for the B3 rating and negative
for the E+ rating. The bank's short-term foreign currency
deposit rating of Not-Prime is unaffected by this rating action.
At the same time, Moody's Interfax Rating Agency, which is
majority owned by Moody's, has downgraded the bank's long-term
National Scale Rating from Baa1.ru to Baa2.ru.
According to Moody's, this rating action concludes the review
process of the ratings, which were placed on review for possible
downgrade on Jan. 26, following notable delay in presentation of
audited IFRS-based financial statements for 2004. The bank
released the statements in March 2006. Moody's notes that
timely financial reporting under IFRS will be essential in the
future, and any undue delays may give rise to further negative
rating implications.
The downgrade of the long-term foreign currency deposit rating
from B2 to B3 reflects weakening of the bank's franchise and
growing uncertainty over sustainability of the core business, as
well as deterioration of its financial performance under IFRS in
2004. These negative developments occurred against a background
of changes in ownership and management structure in 2004 --
1H2005. The developing outlook was assigned to this rating due
to the fact that the bank has been taking measures aimed at
restoration and strengthening of its market positions, AFTER
reestablishing control over it in June 2005 by a group of former
shareholders. If these efforts result in material growth of the
bank's business, the bank's long-term foreign currency deposit
rating could be upgraded, while lack of success in overcoming
current negative trends may lead to the rating's downgrade.
The negative outlook on the bank's E+ FSR mainly reflects
Moody's concerns over the future profitability of the bank's
operations and the quality of its capital.
Aljba Alliance Bank, headquartered in Moscow, Russian
Federation, and reported total assets of RUB3288 million (US$119
million) in accordance with IFRS at year-end 2004.

IMPEXBANK JSC: Share Purchase Prompts Moody's to Lift Ratings
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Impexbank's long- and short-
term foreign currency bank deposit ratings to Baa2/Prime-2 from
B1/Not-Prime, and the bank's foreign currency senior unsecured
debt rating to A3 from B1.
Moody's said that the bank's Baa2/Prime-2 long- and short-term
foreign currency deposit ratings are now constrained by Russia's
country ceiling for such deposits, while the bank's bonds issued
under foreign law may pierce the Baa2 sovereign ceiling for
foreign currency-denominated bonds. The outlook for the bank's
deposit and debt ratings has been changed to stable from
positive. The E+ financial strength rating has been affirmed,
and the FSR outlook remains positive.
The rating actions are triggered by the transfer of a 100% stake
in Impexbank to Raiffeisen International Bank-Holding AG (RI) --
a 70% subsidiary of Austria's Raiffeisen Zentralbank Oesterreich
AG (rated A1/Prime-1/C+) -- which signifies completion of the
first part of the share purchase agreement between RI and the
former owners of Impexbank.
The upgrade of the bank's deposit and debt ratings is based on
Moody's assumptions regarding RI's strong commitment to and
implicit support for Impexbank. The foreign currency deposit
rating is expected to follow future movements of the country's
ceiling; on the upside it could move up to a level commensurate
with the bank's fundamental credit strength, which will
primarily depend on Raiffeisen Zentralbank Oesterreich AG's
ratings, together with the bank's standalone rating and the
level of implicit support from the bank's strategic shareholder.
The rating agency adds that, following the results of the annual
review meeting, Impexbank's E+ FSR could be upgraded. In
Moody's opinion, the entry of the new sophisticated strategic
shareholder is expected to help the bank to improve its
corporate governance, risk management and financial
fundamentals.
Ratings upgraded:
-- Long-term and short-term foreign currency deposit ratings,
respectively, to Baa2/Prime-2 (stable outlook) from B1/Not
Prime (positive outlook); and
-- Long-term debt rating of 9.00% US$100 million loan
participation notes issued by Dresdner Bank AG due in
2007, to A3 (stable outlook) from B1 (positive outlook).
Ratings affirmed:
-- E+ FSR (positive outlook)
Headquartered in Moscow, Russian Federation, Impexbank reported
total IFRS consolidated assets of US$1.9 billion and net IFRS
income of US$26.3 million as at Dec. 31, 2005.

J.L. FRENCH: U.S. Unit Files Amended Plan & Disclosure Statement
----------------------------------------------------------------
J.L. French Automotive Castings, Inc., filed an amended Plan of
Reorganization and Disclosure Statement with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware on May 3.
The plan and disclosure statement outline how the company will
satisfy claims in its Chapter 11 case and emerge successfully as
a reorganized company. The Plan's terms are consistent with
those outlined by the company when it filed its voluntary
petitions under Chapter 11 on Feb. 10. The Plan also
incorporates the terms of a settlement between the company, the
official committee of unsecured creditors and the second lien
agent, on behalf of the required backstop parties.
"We are on track with our reorganization, as evidenced by
[Wednes]day's filing which has been completed in less than 60
days since we first entered Chapter 11," stated Jack F. Falcon,
chairman, CEO and president.
"During this time, we have operated our business as we intended:
We have entered into new business agreements with major
customers, commenced shedding underutilized assets, and
maintained our organizational leadership in its entirety. We
are optimistic that we will complete the reorganization and
emerge with a new, revitalized balance sheet by the end of the
second quarter of this year."
Terms of the Plan
The Plan, which outlines the treatment of claims as divided into
various creditor classes, calls for the repayment in full of the
first lien debt totaling approximately US$295 million. All
classes related to the payment of debtor-in-possession financing
claims, administrative expenses, priority claims and capital
leases and other secured claims will be paid in full.
Under the Plan, the second lien notes claims, which total
approximately US$177 million, will be converted into 8%-22% of
he new common stock and three tranche of warrants for new common
stock in the reorganized company. The warrants will have strike
prices ranging from US$195 million to US$295 million in equity
value. Holders of second lien notes claims may also participate
in a Rights Offering that will raise between US$110 million and
US$130 million in exchange for 78%-92% of the new equity. This
cash will help finance the reorganized company's exit from
Chapter 11. The Rights Offering will commence concurrent with
Plan solicitation. The company recently received Court approval
to pay fees to those parties that made commitments to backstop
the Rights Offering.
Trade creditors will receive 100% of the face amount of their
claims, but will not receive interest on those claims. General
unsecured creditors other than holders of senior subordinated
11-1/2% notes and trade creditors will receive their pro rata
shares of the greater of US$50,000 or common stock having a
value equal to certain property unencumbered by liens.
The subordinated 11-1/2% notes are contractually subordinated to
the second lien notes claims, and holders of those notes will
not receive any distributions unless the second lien notes
claims have been satisfied in full. Preferred and common equity
holders will receive no distribution under the Plan.
Distributions under the Plan will be made through new cash
investment, as well as exit financing of no less than US$255
million, of which US$205 million will be a term loan and a
revolver of US$50 million, with at least US$30 million unfunded
capacity at the time the Plan becomes effective. The company is
considering several exit financing proposals and expects to have
an exit financing commitment shortly.
As of Dec. 31, 2005, J.L. French had approximately US$465
million in first and second lien senior secured debt and
US$28.9 million in 11.5% senior subordinated unsecured notes due
2009. The company incurred the majority of this debt as a
result of an expansion and acquisition program in the late
1990s. When J.L. French completes its reorganization, it
anticipates long-term debt of approximately US$26 million, in
addition to the new US$205 million term facility that will be
added to the balance sheet. As of Dec. 31, 2005, the company
had approximately US$268 million in consolidated net operating
losses.
The company's 2005 revenues were approximately US$482 million,
most of which the company generated in its continuing operations
in Wisconsin and Kentucky in the U.S. and in Spain.
Terms of the Settlement
The settlement provides, among other things, for a distribution
of warrants to holders of the 11-1/2% subordinated notes, as
well as a distribution of certain potential litigation
recoveries to general unsecured claims holders and the note
holders. These distributions will be in addition to the
recoveries contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization as
originally filed.
The company believes that the settlement is a major step forward
in staying on course to emerge from Chapter 11 in the second
quarter. The matter will be heard in Court on May 23.
A hearing is set for May 12, for approval of the amended
Disclosure Statement, which would allow the company to begin
soliciting acceptances of its amended Plan of Reorganization.

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.
