RADNOR HOLDINGS: Files for Chapter 11 Protection to Sell Assets
---------------------------------------------------------------
Radnor Holdings Corp. and 21 of its affiliates filed for
chapter 11 protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware on Aug. 21, 2006.

Paul D. Ridder, the Company's Vice-President, Chief Financial
Officer and Assistant Secretary tells the Court that the Debtors
have a highly leveraged capital structure, as a result of both
operational decisions and circumstances beyond their control.
Specifically, during 2005 and 2006, the Debtors launched certain
new products in response to customer requirements and an effort
to improve profitability.  Although the new product launches
were successful and the Debtors obtained valuable customer
contracts as a result, the Debtors made significant expenditures
related to the new products, including investments in equipment
and research.  To make such expenditures and meet operating
expenses, the Company incurred substantial debt.  A significant
percentage of that debt is at variable interest rates that have
steadily risen.  

When the Debtors filed for bankruptcy, the principal amount of
their secured indebtedness was in excess of $201 million,
consisting of:

    * a prepetition term loan under which approximately
      $118.5 million is outstanding,

    * a prepetition revolving facility under which approximately
      $63.4 million is outstanding, and

    * additional secured debt of approximately $19.2 million
      outstanding under miscellaneous secured credit documents.  

The Debtors also have unsecured bond indebtedness in the
principal amount of $135 million, an unsecured note in the
principal amount of $7 million in connection with the
acquisition of the Debtors' plastics manufacturing operations in
2003, and approximately $47.2 million in unpaid ordinary course
trade debt, including certain accrued expenses.

             Operational and Financial Difficulties

Mr. Ridder adds that over the past 12 months, the Debtors have
experienced an unprecedented increase in raw material prices and
escalating energy costs.  Specifically, the Company's products
require a variety of raw materials, including styrene monomer
and pentane in the production of expandable polystyrene (EPS),
and plastic resins such as polystyrene and polypropylene for the
manufacture of plastic packaging products.  Each of these raw
materials is petrochemical based.  Thus, escalating
petrochemical and petrochemical derivatives product prices have
significantly increased the cost of the raw materials the
Company uses to produce its products, which increased costs the
Debtors have not been able to fully pass through to their
customers.  Moreover, even when the Debtors were able to pass
costs through to customers, they experienced a lag between the
increase in cost and the benefit of the increased prices.

The rising cost of energy (both crude oil and natural gas) also
increased the Debtors' operating expenses, including shipping
costs and the cost of running their manufacturing facilities. As
a result, the Debtors' operating margins have suffered,
notwithstanding the fact that the Debtors have been able to
increase the average selling prices of certain of their
products, Mr. Ridder says.

Mr. Ridder contends that the Debtors' highly leveraged capital
structure has limited not only their ability to respond to
thoseconditions, but also their ability to exploit business
opportunities and respond to unpredictable business challenges,
such as the 2005 Gulf Coast hurricanes.

                Prepetition Restructuring Efforts

Earlier this year, the Company undertook more aggressive
measures to improve operating performance and address its
liquidity concerns.  In particular, the Debtors began to
implement a company-wide cost reduction program.  These efforts
included consolidating the Debtors' Jacksonville, Florida
manufacturing operation into other plants, and reducing the
Debtors' workforce by approximately 10%.  The Debtors have also
made strides in improving manufacturing efficiencies and
reducing nonoperating costs.  Although the Debtors benefited
from these initiatives, their liquidity problems continued,
according to Mr. Ridder.

By June of this year, the Debtors had been advanced
approximately $20 million in excess of permitted advances under
the Prepetition Revolving Facility.  Accordingly, on June 15,
2006, the Debtors publicly announced that they had reached an
agreement with National City Business Credit, Inc. -- the
Prepetition Revolving Agent -- and Bank of America, N.A. as
syndication agent and KeyBank, National Association, pursuant to
which the Debtors agreed to undertake efforts to reduce the Over
Advance in exchange for such lenders' agreement to forbear from
exercising rights and remedies on account of the Over Advance.   
NCBC, BofA and Keybank are the Original Prepetition Revolving
Lenders.

                         Sale Process

At the same time, the Debtors began evaluating strategic
alternatives, and engaged Lehman Brothers as their financial
advisor to advise and assist with the evaluation of such
alternatives.  Lehman immediately commenced due diligence and
worked with the Company to develop a preliminary business plan
for 2006 and 2007.  Based on that plan, the Debtors and their
financial advisers pursued a variety of transactions, including
an equity or capital infusion as well as a sale of all or a
portion of the Company's business.  In addition, Lehman began to
search for debtor-in-possession financing, in the event that the
Company determined to commence Chapter 11 cases.

Although the Company and Lehman contacted numerous potentially
interested parties regarding financing and sales, it became
apparent that the Prepetition Term Loan Agent was the most
likely potential purchaser of the Debtors' assets and that the
Original Prepetition Revolving Lenders were the most likely
providers of debtor in possession financing.

Accordingly, the Debtors and their advisors approached
Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC, regarding its interest in
serving as a "stalking horse" bidder in a bankruptcy court-
supervised sale of the Debtors' business.  At the same time, the
Debtors began to negotiate the terms and conditions of a debtor
in possession financing facility with the Original Prepetition
Revolving Lenders.

                    Negotiations with Lenders

While negotiating the terms of a stalking horse bid, the Debtors
entered into the First Amendment to the Agreement Regarding
Loans, dated as of July 18, 2006, pursuant to which the
Prepetition Revolving Agent and the Prepetition Revolving
Lenders agreed to continue to fund the Debtors, and forbear from
exercising rights and remedies, through July 27, 2006.  The
primary purposes of the First Amendment were to afford the
Debtors an opportunity to negotiate the stalking horse agreement
and to arrange debtor in possession financing by proving the
Company with additional liquidity of $3.2 million.  

In connection with the First Amendment, the Prepetition Term
Loan Agent and the Prepetition Term Loan Lenders entered into an
intercreditor agreement, dated July 18, 2006, with the
Prepetition Revolving Agent and the Original Prepetition
Revolving Lenders, pursuant to which the Prepetition Term Loan
Lenders contractually agreed to subordinate to the Increased
Overadvance.  Subsequently, the Debtors and the Prepetition
Revolving Agent and the Original Prepetition Revolving Lenders
extended the forbearance period through July 31, 2006.

On August 1, 2006, the Current Prepetition Revolving Lender
purchased the interests of the Original Prepetition Revolving
Lenders with respect to the Prepetition Revolving Facility, and
concurrently therewith provided the Debtors with additional
liquidity of $5 million and a forbearance through August 21,
2006.  The Debtors used the additional time and liquidity
provided by the Current Prepetition Revolving Lenders to further
explore their restructuring alternatives, and negotiate the
terms of a stalking horse agreement with the Prepetition Term
Loan Agent and the terms of debtor in possession financing with
the Current Prepetition Revolving Lenders.

The Debtors' efforts culminated in the Debtors entering into two
agreements.  The first is a stalking horse asset purchase
agreement, pursuant to which the Debtors would sell
substantially all of their assets, subject to higher and better
offers, to TR Acquisition Company, Inc., an affiliate of the
Prepetition Term Loan Agent.  The second agreement is a debtor
in possession financing credit agreement that provides the
Debtors with sufficient liquidity to commence a bankruptcy court
supervised sale process that will enable the Debtors to maximize
value for creditors and other interested parties through a sale
of substantially all of its assets or some other restructuring
alternative.

Accordingly, the Debtors filed for bankruptcy to use the section
363 sale process as a means to maximize value and provide
themselves with a vehicle to explore any and all of their
restructuring alternatives, Mr. Ridder explains.

ALLGEMEINE HYPOTHEKENBANK: C. Nolting to Head Management Board
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Claus Nolting will take over as Chairman of the Management
Board of Allgemeine HypothekenBank Rheinboden A, effective
Oct. 1.

He will succeed Dr. Karsten von Koeller, whose mandate was
limited to the period of restructuring initiated after the
change of ownership.  Dr. Nolting's key task will be to
implement the new business concept developed in the last few
months.

Dr. Nolting is 55 years old and holds a doctorate in law.  He
joined Bayerische Vereinsbank AG in 1989.  From 1996 to 2002 he
had various board-level responsibilities, most recently at
HypoVereinsbank AG (HVB).  From 2001 he was also Chairman of the
Managing Board of HVB Real Estate Bank AG.  After leaving the
HVB Group, Dr. Nolting practiced law and acted as a consultant.

                      About the Company

Headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany, Allgemeine Hypothekenbank
Rheinboden AG -- http://www.ahbr.de/-- finances residential and   
commercial real estate projects locally.  The group is also
engaged in commercial lending abroad.  It has assets of more
than EUR80 billion.  It is owned directly and indirectly --
through BHW -- by the trade union private equity holding group
BGAG.  BGAG has provided it EUR1.2 billion in financing, and
guaranteed it under a EUR1.2 billion risk protection scheme.  It
recently sold the company to U.S. investment group Lone Star for
EUR400 million.

                        *     *     *

As reported in TCR Europe on April 26, Fitch Ratings placed
Allgemeine Hypothekenbank Rheinboden's Short-term F3 and Support
2 ratings, BBB- senior unsecured obligations, and BB+
subordinated obligations on Rating Watch Negative.  It assigned
AHBR an Issuer Default Rating of BBB-, which is also put on RWN.  
The IDR, which replaces the Long-term rating, applies to those
obligations for which Fitch expects potential support to be
forthcoming.  

At the same time, the bank's Individual rating is upgraded to
D/E from E and remains on Rating Watch Positive.  In addition,
Fitch affirmed AHBR's outstanding public sector Pfandbriefe at
AAA while the AA+ rated mortgage Pfandbriefe was placed on RWN.  
The agency downgraded AHBR's participation rights maturing in
December 2005 through to December 2008 to C/RR6 on the Recovery
Rating Scale and removed them from RWN, following the
publication of its 2005 losses.  Genussscheine maturing after
December 2008 are affirmed at CC/RR5 and removed from RWN.

As reported in TCR Europe on Dec. 20, 2005, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services removed its 'BB+' counterparty credit ratings
on AHBR from CreditWatch, where they were first placed on Oct.
25, 2005.  In addition, Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'BB+/B'
counterparty credit and senior unsecured ratings on AHBR, and
raised the ratings on subordinated debt issued by AHBR to 'BB-'
from 'B'.  The outlook is negative.  At the same time, the 'AAA'
ratings on senior secured Offentliche Pfandbriefe and
Hypothekenpfandbriefe issued by AHBR were affirmed.

CB MEZZCAP: Moody's Rates EUR7.7-Million Class E Notes at Ba1
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service confirmed the ratings of these Notes
issued by CB MezzCap Limited Partnership:

   -- EUR20,000,000 Class B Floating Rate Notes: Aa2;
   -- EUR10,500,000 Class C Floating Rate Notes: A2;
   -- EUR14,500,000 Class D Floating Rate Notes: Baa2; and
   -- EUR7,700,000 Class E Floating Rate Notes: Ba1.

The under review for possible downgrade rating actions on
May 30 were triggered by the insolvency of NICI AG on
May 16.  The exposure of NICI AG in the transaction portfolio
amounts to EUR10 million, which is approximately 5.01%.  

In the meantime, the Issuer was able to sell the Participation
Right of NICI AG to a third party at 85% of its nominal value.  
Under this circumstance, all ratings will hold.  Moody's thus
confirmed the rating of the tranches.

The rating of Class A Floating Rate Notes issued by CB MezzCap
remains unaffected.

TISCALI DEUTSCHLAND: Parent Mulls Sale of German & Dutch Units
--------------------------------------------------------------
Tiscali S.p.A. considers selling its German and Dutch units to
finance its Internet TV service in the U.K., The Business says.

Tiscali, The Business reports, is holding advance talks with:
   
   -- Arcor AG,
   -- United Internet AG,
   -- Royal KPN N.V. and
   -- Versatel Telecom International N.V.

for the sale of Tiscali Deutschland, which is reportedly at a
decline.  

For the first quarter of 2006, the German unit posted EUR2.8
million in losses on EUR19.7 million in revenues, compared with
less than EUR1 million in losses on EUR23 million in revenues
for the same period in 2005.  Tiscali has hired UBS AG to manage
the sale, which could earn EUR50 million for the group, Reuters
cites sources privy to the matter.

According to Reuters, Tiscali wants to focus more on the
stronger Italian and U.K. markets for Internet TV service.  The
company also considers selling Tiscali Netherlands.

As reported in TCR-Europe on Aug. 23, Tiscali acquired Video
Networks International Ltd., merging their U.K. market
operations.

Tiscali S.p.A. would control 88.5% of Tiscali U.K., while VNIL
would own 11.5%.  Following this integration, Tiscali U.K. will
immediately have more than 1.3 million DSL customers, of which
350,000 customers are taking voice and broadband, over 45,000

TOWER RECORDS: Files Chapter 22 Petition to Sell All Assets
-----------------------------------------------------------
MTS Inc., dba Tower Records, and its subsidiaries disclosed its
intent to sell the Company through a Section 363 process under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  This process, which is
subject to court approval, sets in motion a timeline of events
that will ultimately insure a sale of the Company within
approximately 60 days of the filing date.

According to Joseph D'Amico, Tower's recently named CEO, the
filing is a necessary vehicle to execute his commitment to sell
the Company.  

"Tower Records has conducted an extensive sale process and this
step will allow buyers to complete a sale in time for the
holiday season while maximizing the value for stakeholders,"  
Mr. D'Amico said.  

In March of 2006, the Company retained Houlihan Lokey Howard &
Zukin as its marketing and sales agent.  The Company is
evaluating Letters of Intent from parties interested in
acquiring the Company.  Mr. D'Amico stated, "Potential parties
seeking to acquire Tower Records recognize the strength of the
brand and its unique position within the marketplace, making it
a very attractive opportunity."

                          DIP Financing

The Company also entered into an US$85 million Debtor-in-
Possession Financing with its current bank group led by CIT as
agent.  This financing will fund its operations and purchases of
new product while the Company completes the sale.  Tower has
also been able to renegotiate delivery terms for product with
the trade.  

"The trade has always supported Tower through difficult times
and we recognize that their support is imperative to the
consummation of a transaction," Mr. D'Amico commented.

TISCALI SPA: Mulls Sale of German & Dutch Units
-----------------------------------------------
Tiscali S.p.A. considers selling its German and Dutch units to
finance its Internet TV service in the U.K., The Business says.

Tiscali, The Business reports, is holding advance talks with:
   
   -- Arcor AG,
   -- United Internet AG,
   -- Royal KPN N.V. and
   -- Versatel Telecom International N.V.

for the sale of Tiscali Deutschland, which is reportedly at a
decline.  

For the first quarter of 2006, the German unit posted EUR2.8
million in losses on EUR19.7 million in revenues, compared with
less than EUR1 million in losses on EUR23 million in revenues
for the same period in 2005.  Tiscali has hired UBS AG to manage
the sale, which could earn EUR50 million for the group, Reuters
cites sources privy to the matter.

According to Reuters, Tiscali wants to focus more on the
stronger Italian and U.K. markets for Internet TV service.  The
company also considers selling Tiscali Netherlands.

As reported in TCR-Europe on Aug. 23, Tiscali acquired Video
Networks International Ltd., merging their U.K. market
operations.

Tiscali S.p.A. would control 88.5% of Tiscali U.K., while VNIL
would own 11.5%.  Following this integration, Tiscali U.K. will
immediately have more than 1.3 million DSL customers, of which
350,000 customers are taking voice and broadband, over 45,000
will be IPTV subscribers, and an unbundled local loop network
covering over 300 BT exchanges with in excess of 220,000 ULL
customers.

Italy-based Tiscali S.p.A.'s Long-term Issuer Default Rating at
CCC with Stable Outlook.  Tiscali's Short-term rating is
downgraded to C from B to be in line with the CCC IDR.  At the
same time, the agency affirmed Tiscali Finance S.A.'s EUR209

BANK TURANALEM: Fitch Keeps Foreign Currency IDR at BB+
-------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings affirmed the ratings of Kazakhstan's Bank
TuranAlem at foreign currency Issuer Default BB+, foreign
currency Short-term B, local currency Issuer Default BBB-, local
currency Short-term F3, Support 3 and Individual C/D.  The
Outlooks on the Issuer Default ratings are Stable.

The IDR, Short-term and Support ratings reflect the moderate
probability of support being forthcoming, in case of need, from
the Kazakhstani authorities.  The Individual rating reflects the
risks of the bank's rapid loan growth and ongoing CIS expansion,
significant loan concentrations and certain weaknesses in the
operating environment.  However, it also considers BTA's
substantial domestic franchise, reasonable performance and
liquidity, quite diversified funding and fairly low market risk
appetite.

The support floors for BTA's IDRs depend on the sovereign's
capacity and propensity to provide support in the event of need.
Upside for the support floors is capped at BBB-, given Fitch's
view of the authorities' propensity to support banks of BTA's
size.  

The Stable Outlooks on BTA's IDRs reflect those on the
sovereign's IDRs.  Downward pressure on BTA's Individual rating
could result should loan impairment and loss levels continue to
increase, or if growing international exposure materially
affects capital and/or asset quality.

BTA is the second largest commercial bank in Kazakhstan, with
top three positions in all major markets segments.  BTA's
shareholder structure is un-transparent, but Fitch understands
that the bank is controlled by a number of Kazakhstani
investors.

NETIA SA: Second Quarter Unusually Challenging, CFO Says
--------------------------------------------------------
Netia SA disclosed that on Aug. 22, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services revised its outlook on the Company to negative from
stable due to marked revenue and EBITDA deterioration in the
first half of 2006.  At the same time, Netia's "B+" long-term
corporate credit rating was affirmed.

As reported in TCR-Europe on Aug. 14, Revenues for the first
half of 2006 were PLN421.7 million (EUR104.3 million),
representing a year-on-year decrease of 4%.  Revenues for the
second quarter of 2006 were PLN203.3 million (EUR50.3 million),
representing a year-on-year decrease of 9%.

EBITDA for the first half of 2006 was PLN117.2 million (EUR29
million), representing an EBITDA margin of 27.8%.  EBITDA for
the second quarter of 2006 was PLN58.4 m (EUR14.5 million),
representing an EBITDA margin of 28.8%.  

Accordingly, EBITDA for the first of half of 2006 adjusted by
the above one-off item amounted to PLN106.8 million
(EUR26.4 million), representing an adjusted EBITDA margin of
25.3%.  Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2006 was PLN48
million (EUR11.9 million), representing an adjusted EBITDA
margin of 23.6%.

Jon Eastick, Netia's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "The
second quarter was unusually challenging for Netia.  Difficult
market conditions in fixed voice services impacted our entire
industry, and were the main driver behind the year on year and
sequential decline in our revenue and EBITDA.  Fewer profitable
opportunities in interconnection services and a pause in the
growth trend of wholesale revenues also affected our results
this quarter."

                      About the Company

Headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, Netia S.A. (B+/Stable/) --
http://netia.pl/-- is an alternative fixed-line    
telecommunications operator in Poland.  It operates on the basis
of its own, state-of-the-art fiber-optic backbone network that
connects the largest Polish cities as well as its local access
networks.  Netia provides a broad range of telecommunications
services, including voice, data and network wholesale services.


NETIA SA: Revenue & EBITDA Decline Spurs S&P to Revise Outlook
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on
Poland-based, alternative fixed-line telecommunications operator
Netia S.A. to negative from stable due to marked revenue and
EBITDA deterioration in the first half of 2006.  At the same
time, the 'B+' long-term corporate credit rating on Netia was
affirmed.

"The outlook revision reflects Standard & Poor's concerns over
the negative revenue trend in Netia's core direct voice
business, which has not been offset by revenue growth from other
services," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Michael
O'Brien.

"Netia's half-year 2006 EBITDA dropped 38.5% year-on-year due to
higher competition, and this caused a drop in direct voice
revenues and a shift in revenue mix toward lower-margin data,
wholesale, and interconnection services."
     
Although Netia has experienced financial improvements during the
past two years, these have been tempered by the sharp drop in
the company's lease-adjusted EBITDA margin in the first half of
2006 to 26.3% from 40.3%.  In addition, the company is incurring
higher costs associated with the rollout of worldwide-
interoperability-for-microwave-access (WiMax) technology.  This
strategy should, if successful, boost the company's coverage and
ability to provide services without relying on the
infrastructure of the incumbent fixed-line operator
Telekomunikacja Polska S.A. over the medium term.

"Persistent meaningful declines in EBITDA, as a result of
competition-driven revenue mix changes and higher
interconnection costs, could lead to operational cash flow
underperformance or an impairment of Netia's liquidity," said
Mr. O'Brien.  "This in turn could lead to a downgrade."
     
The company's shareholder returns should not put a financial
constraint on the company to an extent that would jeopardize its
business position or strategic plans, including its investments
in WiMax technology.  Although Netia has a good track record of
integrating acquisitions, possible further acquisitions of other
alternative telecoms assets in Poland requiring debt financing
would need to be undertaken prudently.  Incurrence of
significant debt would have to be accompanied by a stabilization
of EBITDA to maintain the ratings.
     
Conversely, if Netia were to stabilize its operating performance
during the second half of 2006 and early 2007, the outlook could
be revised back to stable.

GAZPROM OAO: Supplies First LNG Cargo to Japan
----------------------------------------------
The transaction was effectuated via Gazprom Marketing & Trading
Ltd., which is part of the Gazprom Group of companies.

The LNG was purchased from Mitsubishi Corporation, which had
bought it from Celt (a joint venture between Mitsubishi
Corporation and Tokyo Electric Power).  This successful trading
operation between Gazprom and Mitsubishi Corporation has become
an initial step for Gazprom to gain access to the liquefied gas
market of Asia Pacific.

145,000 cubic meters of LNG (equivalent to some 92 million cubic
meters of natural gas) were supplied ex-ship to the Chubu
Electric Power-owned Chita LNG terminal.

The Asia Pacific market is of strategic importance for Gazprom
and the Company places therefore special emphasis on gas
deliveries to this region.  Gazprom is keen to occupy a firm
position in the Asian market, both in terms of long-term
pipeline gas supply and by developing a relatively new business
segment for the Company - LNG trade.

                          About Gazprom

Headquartered in Moscow, Russia, OAO Gazprom (RTS: GAZP; MICEX:
GAZP; LSE: OGZD) -- http://www.gazprom.ru/eng-- produces 94% of

Poor's Services raised on Jan. 17, 2006, its long-term
corporate credit rating on OAO Gazprom to 'BB+' from 'BB'.

                          *     *     *

As reported in TCR-Europe on Jan. 18, Standard & Poor's
Services raised its long-term corporate credit rating on OAO

upgraded Gazprom International S.A. Series 1 US$1.25-billion

world's largest gas company, Senior Unsecured local and foreign
currency to 'BB+' from 'BB', and a change in Gazprom's
going concern assessment, which is now equivalent to a 'BBB'
rating compared to 'BBB-' previously.

YUKOS OIL: Politics Behind Criminal Probe, Steven Theede Says
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ex-Yukos Oil Co. President Steven Theede believed politics are
behind last week's announcement that he and three other foreign
executives were being investigated by Russian Prosecutors for
allegations of money laundering and embezzlement, Tom Fowler
writes for The Houston Chronicle.

Mr. Theede said he and the other former Yukos executives have
been very open about their actions with the company in recent
years, the paper relates.

"Unfortunately, what I've discovered in Russia is that what
matters is not doing the right thing but doing what the Russian
authorities want you to do," Mr. Theede told the paper.

As reported in TCR-Europe on Aug. 21, the Russian Prosecutor
General's Office launched a criminal case against former Mr.
Theede, along with:

   -- Bruce Misamore, former manager of Yukos Finance BV;

   -- David Godfrey, Yukos's former managing adviser; and

   -- Tim Osborne, a director of Group Menatep, Yukos's largest
      shareholder.

The prosecutors alleged that the executives used a Dutch-based
foundation to illegally gain control of US$10 billion in company
assets beyond the reach of the liquidation proceedings.

Mr. Theede has denied the charges against them and questioned
how prosecutors came up with a US$10 billion figure, Mr. Fowler
reports.  

In a TCR-Europe report on Aug. 17, Eduard Rebgun, in his
capacity as court-appointed insolvency manager for Yukos, fired
Messrs. Misamore and Godfrey of Dutch-based Yukos Finance BV,
asserting that the executives stood against the interests of
shareholders and held talks without his blessing.  The decision,
which Mr. Rebgun claims was authorized by shareholders, paved
the way for creditors to get control of Yukos Finance's main
assets, including:

   -- a 54% stake in Lithuanian refinery Mazeikiu Nafta AB,
      worth almost US$1.5 billion; and

   -- a 49% stake in Transpetrol, worth between US$100 million
      and US$200 million.

Mr. Rebgun's lawyers argued in court that Messrs. Misamore and
Godfrey had moved the Dutch assets in 2005 to Yukos
International U.K. B.V., which then transferred its shares to
Stichting Administratiekantoor Yukos International in exchange
for certificates, in order to keep them out of creditors' reach,
MosNews relates.

                           About Yukos

Headquartered in Moscow, Yukos Oil -- http://yukos.com/-- is an   
open joint stock company existing under the laws of the Russian
Federation.  Yukos is involved in 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
later, the Government sold its main production unit Yugansk, 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.

On March 10, a 14-bank consortium led by Societe Generale filed
a bankruptcy suit in the Moscow Arbitration Court in an attempt
to recover the remainder of a US$1 billion debt under
outstanding loan agreements.  The banks, however, sold the claim
to Rosneft, prompting the Court to replace them with the state-
owned oil company as plaintiff.

On April 13, court-appointed external manager Eduard Rebgun
filed a chapter 15 petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 06-
0775), in an attempt to halt the sale of Yukos' 53.7% ownership
interest in Lithuanian AB Mazeikiu Nafta.

On May 26, Yukos signed a US$1.49 billion Share Sale and
Purchase Agreement with PKN Orlen S.A., Poland's largest oil
refiner, for its Mazeikiu ownership stake.  The move was made a
day after the Manhattan Court lifted an order barring Yukos from
selling its controlling stake in the Lithuanian oil refinery.

On July 25, Yukos creditors voted to liquidate the oil firm
after rejecting a management rescue plan, which valued the
company's assets at about US$30 billion.  This would have
permitted Yukos to continue its operations and attempt to pay
off US$18 billion in debts through asset sales.

On Aug. 1, the Hon. Pavel Markov of the Moscow Arbitration Court
upheld creditors' vote to liquidate OAO Yukos Oil Co. and
declared what was once Russia's biggest oil firm bankrupt.  The
expected court ruling paves the way for the company's
liquidation and auction.

FINANSBANK A.S.: Fitch Upgrades Foreign Currency IDR to BB
----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings upgraded Finansbank A.S.'s ratings to foreign
currency Issuer Default BB from BB-, local currency Issuer
Default BB+ from BB-, National Long-term AA from A, and Support
3 from 4.  

The foreign currency Issuer Default rating is now at Turkey's
Country Ceiling.  The Rating Watch Positive on the above ratings
has been removed.  A Positive Outlook is assigned to the foreign
and local currency IDRs and the Outlook for the National rating
is Stable.  The bank's other ratings are affirmed at Short-term
B and Individual C/D.  

This follows the announcement from Finansbank on Aug. 18 that
the Greece-based National Bank of Greece has acquired 46% of
Finansbank's shares from Fiba Group in line with the share
purchase agreement signed on April 3.

The upgrades reflect Finansbank's recent ownership change and
consequently improved creditworthiness within the Turkish
banking system.  The revision in the Support rating reflects
Fitch's opinion that there is a high propensity of support from
a highly rated strategic partner NBG should the need arise.
However, the ability to do so could be constrained by Turkey's
BB country ceiling, resulting in a moderate probability of
support.

NBG will now make an offer to minority shareholders in
accordance with the relevant regulatory requirements to purchase
the remaining 44.3% of the bank, excluding 9.68% of the shares
retained by the Fiba Group.  If NBG ends up acquiring less than
a 4% plus one share at the tender offer, Fiba Group will sell to
NBG sufficient amount of shares so that NBG will achieve a 50%
plus one stake at Finansbank.

Finansbank has also completed the sale of majority of its
international participations for a gain of TRY546.2 million,
which is expected to support profitability and capitalization.
This would give the bank the flexibility to expand the loan
portfolio over the near term without significant capital
pressure.

Fitch also expects the change of ownership at Finansbank to
result in better access to longer-term and cheaper sources of
funding.  Finansbank's ultimate ability to grow will be
determined by how much capital NBG decides to maintain in Turkey
and the potential asset quality problems that might arise from
the current rapid portfolio expansion.

NBG is the largest bank in Greece by total assets, offering a
full range of banking services.  At end-2005, the group had 570
domestic banking branches and 21,581 staff.  Finansbank is the
ninth largest bank in Turkey in terms of assets and provides
corporate, commercial and retail banking services through its
262 branches and 7,013 personnel at end-H106.


TURKIYE IS: Fitch Lifts Issuer Default Ratings to BB+
-----------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded Isbank's local currency Issuer
Default ratings to 'BB+' from 'BB', and National ratings to
'AA(tur)' from 'AA-(tur)'.  Isbank's Short-term foreign and
local currency ratings are affirmed at 'B'.  

The Outlooks on the foreign and local currency IDRs remain
Positive and the Outlook on National rating remains Stable.
Fitch Ratings has also affirmed Isbank's Individual at 'C' and
Support at '4'.  

Fitch Ratings has also upgraded Isbank's foreign currency Issuer
Default ratings to 'BB' from 'BB-'.  The rating action follows
the upgrade of Country Ceiling ratings for Turkey from 'BB-' to
'BB'.

As reported in TCR-Europe on Aug. 21, the upgrade in Isbank's
local currency IDR and National rating reflects the improvements
in the quality of capital, better asset quality, further
enlargement of its franchise, stability of its well distributed
core deposits base and funding diversification.  Rapid loan
growth and a volatile operating environment balance this.

Isbank became the largest bank in Turkey at end-H106 in terms of
total bank-only assets with the second largest branch network of
875 domestic branches.  It provides a full range of corporate,
commercial and retail banking services.  At end-H106, about 41%
of the bank was held by Isbank Pension Fund, 30.4% are publicly
traded and 28.1% represented by Ataturk's shares.

COLLINS & AIKMAN: Gains Panel's Support Over GM Tooling Dispute
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Collins &
Aikman Corporation and its debtor-affiliates agrees with the
Debtors' conclusion that, pursuant to Rule 7001 of the Federal
Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, General Motors Corporation's
request to obtain possession of certain tooling must be coursed
through an adversary proceeding.

GM is seeking a "contingent" lift stay to take possession of all
tooling related to a particular purchase order upon the
happening of certain speculative future events.  Under the
tooling purchase orders, upon GM's payment of amounts properly
invoiced by the Debtors and validly due, GM would own the
Tooling.  GM asserted it had paid all the amounts due to the
Debtors and as a consequence, the Tooling is GM's property and
the Debtors' obligation to turn the Tooling over to GM was
absolute and unconditional.

The Debtors sought to dismiss GM's request to obtain possession
of the tooling.  The Debtors argued that GM has failed to remit
all amounts due for the Tooling and that the request is not
properly the subject of a motion, but rather an adversary
proceeding, which GM has failed to commence.

Michael S. Stamer, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP,
in New York, points out that although GM attempts to disguise
its request to recover property as a lift stay request, it seeks
"immediate access to and possession of the Tooling."

This is clearly an action to recover property, Mr. Stamer says.

"GM plainly seeks not merely a cursory adjudication as to
whether it has a colorable claim to the Tooling, but an order of
this Court granting it the authority to access the Debtors'
facilities to take immediate possession of Tooling," argues Mr.
Stamer.

Mr. Stamer explains that a determination of these issues
requires the commencement of an adversary proceeding resulting
in a trial on the merits, during which GM must submit evidence
substantiating its claims.

Accordingly, the Committee asks the Court to approve the
Debtors' request to dismiss GM's Lift Stay Motion.

                    GM Responds to Objections

Scott A. Wolfson, Esq., at Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn
LLP, in Detroit, Michigan, argues that the Debtors' dismissal
request:

   -- misinterprets the fundamental purpose of a lift stay
      request;

   -- ignores express provisions of the Federal Rules of
      Bankruptcy Procedure; and

   -- fails to address GM's specific requests.

Mr. Wolfson explains that GM never asserted that approval of its
request would give it immediate possession of the Tooling.  
Instead, GM asked the Court to lift the automatic stay to take
all "necessary actions" to recover the Tooling upon the
occurrence of certain events.  These "necessary actions" may
include filing a complaint in state court for a final
adjudication of GM's interest in the Tooling and ultimately
recovery by GM, Mr. Wolfson says.

Mr. Wolfson contends that GM does not request recovery of the
Tooling; the determination of the validity, priority or extent
of its interest in the Tooling; and a declaratory judgment.

No adversary proceeding is required for disposition of the
Tooling Request because the Court need only determine whether GM
has presented a colorable claim to lift the automatic stay, Mr.
Wolfson notes.

If the Court wants to consider the Debtors' claims and defenses
as they relate to GM's interest in the Tooling, the Court may do
so without requiring an adversary proceeding, maintains Mr.
Wolfson.

FEDERAL-MOGUL: 51 U.K. Debtors to File Voluntary Arrangements
-------------------------------------------------------------
As previously reported, the U.K. Global Settlement approved by
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware Agreement
resolved issues between Federal-Mogul Corp. and its debtor-
affiliates and the other co-plan proponents on the one hand, and
the administrators of Federal-Mogul's affiliates in the United
Kingdom, on the other hand, as to the reorganization of the U.K.
Debtors.

The cornerstone of the U.K. Global Settlement Agreement is that
the Administrators will propose company voluntary arrangements
for certain of the U.K. Debtors.

Initially, the Administrators intended to propose CVAs for the
20 principal U.K. Debtors.  However, after negotiations over the
past several months, the Administrators agreed to propose CVAs
for 51 of the U.K. Debtors, which comprise virtually all of the
U.K. Debtors that have material assets or third-party
liabilities, Scotta E. McFarland, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl
Young Jones & Weintraub LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, relates.

The CVAs will principally be funded by cash held by the U.K.
Debtors and cash that was transferred to the Administrators in
exchange for certain intercompany loan notes held by T&N
Limited, one of the U.K. Debtors.

Pursuant to the CVAs, the holders of most claims against the
U.K. Debtors will receive a payment under the CVAs in
satisfaction of their claims.  The Debtors believe that the CVAs
becoming effective will be the most important step in
facilitating the conclusion of the U.K. Debtors' administration
proceedings.

                  CVA Meeting Set for Sept. 7

The Administrators have scheduled for September 7, 2006,
meetings of creditors and shareholders to consider approval of
the CVAs, in Manchester, England.  If the CVAs are approved at
those meetings, the CVAs could become effective as soon as mid-
October 2006, after the expiration of a statutorily required 28-
day waiting period.

The U.K. Global Settlement Agreement provided that the CVAs
would contain certain indemnities from Federal-Mogul, to fund
the payment of dividends and various classes of claims under the
CVAs.  Specifically, the Global Settlement and the CVAs provided
for an indemnity -- the FMC Revenue Indemnity -- on the part of
Federal-Mogul to cover the payment of:

   -- claims for U.K. corporation tax against any CVA Company
      that rank as an expense of the administration of that CVA
      Company; and

   -- dividends on other claims for U.K. corporation tax against
      all of the CVA Companies, as well as the payment of U.K.
      corporation tax claims against those U.K. Debtors that did
      not propose CVAs.

T&N Limited also agreed to grant a similar indemnity after the
conclusion of its U.K. administration proceedings.

The U.K. Global Settlement Agreement and the CVAs also provided
for an indemnity on Federal-Mogul's part to fund the payment of
any costs relating to asbestos property damage claims and the
dividends payable on the claims that may be allowed under the
CVAs, to the extent the costs and dividends are together in
excess of GBP5.5 million (approximately $10 million) -- the APD
Indemnity.  

Ms. McFarland asserts that the FMC Revenue Indemnity and the APD
Indemnity benefit the Debtors in that they allow for
indeterminate classes of claims against the CVA Companies to be
addressed under and compromised by the CVAs, yet the Debtors are
not required to fund large reserves for the claims that might,
given the unknown scope of the claims, take some time to refund
in the event claims to draw on the reserves never materialize.

During the negotiation process of the terms of the CVAs, the
Plan Proponents and the Administrators agreed to a number of
compromises, beyond those contemplated under the U.K. Global
Settlement Agreement, concerning the terms of the CVAs.

Three of the compromises are:

   1. the Ancillary CVA Indemnity;
   2. the Long Tail Liability Claims Indemnity; and
   3. the Tax Neutrality Undertaking.

By this motion, the Debtors ask the Court to authorize Federal-
Mogul to enter into and perform the three compromises.

                      Ancillary CVA Indemnity

The first of the relevant compromises concerns the granting by
Federal-Mogul of an indemnity to cover unsecured claims, if any,
that might be brought in the CVAs of two of the U.K. Debtors --
F-M UK Holding Limited and Federal-Mogul Global Growth Limited.

The two companies are the senior-most U.K. holding companies
within the Federal-Mogul corporate family and conduct no
manufacturing or distribution operations of their own.  Given
the unique position of the two companies within the Federal-
Mogul group corporate structure, both have different creditor
profiles and classes of claims against them than the other U.K.
Debtors covered by the CVAs.

F-M UK Holding Limited has prepetition bank claims, surety
claims, and noteholder claims asserted against it, while
Federal-Mogul Global has in excess of $1.3 billion in
intercompany claims against it.  

The Debtors have determined that F-M UK Holding Limited and
Federal-Mogul Global's distinctiveness require an individualized
structure for the CVAs, as opposed to integrating the terms of
the CVAs for those companies into the principal CVA document.
The Administrators also made it clear that they were only
willing to accept the inclusion of the two companies into the
joint CVA if Federal-Mogul were willing to establish substantial
cash reserves for potential unsecured claims against those
companies, which was an undesirable alternative from Federal-
Mogul's perspective.

To address these issues, the Plan Proponents and the
Administrators agreed that the two companies would have separate
CVAs proposed for them.  According to Ms. McFarland, the CVAs
for those two companies are structurally similar to and
containing many of the same provisions as the CVAs jointly being
proposed for the other 49 CVA Companies.

The Plan Proponents and the Administrators further agreed that
general unsecured claims against both companies, if any, would
not require a reserve to be established out of which they may be
paid, but could instead be funded by an indemnity to be given by
Federal-Mogul.

The Ancillary CVA Indemnity will cover the payment of an
appropriate dividend on any general unsecured claims that may
successfully be asserted against F-M UK Holding Limited or
Federal-Mogul Global and certain fixed payments of GBP1.00
payable on account of certain other claims under the Ancillary
CVAs.  The Ancillary CVA Indemnity is capped at the realizable
value of the assets of each of those companies.

The Debtors believe that there are few or no general third-party
unsecured claims against either F-M UK Holding Limited or
Federal-Mogul Global Growth Limited.  Hence the Debtors expect
that the Ancillary CVA Indemnity is likely to be called very
infrequently, and may ultimately be called only to pay the
limited GBP1.00 amounts payable to certain claims under the
CVAs.  

The Debtors anticipate that general unsecured claims against
Federal-Mogul Global will be paid a 3% dividend, while general
unsecured claims against F-M UK Holding at a 0.24%dividend.

               Long Tail Liability Claims Indemnity

The second compromise concerns the establishment under the
Principal CVAs of the Lone Tail Liability Claims Indemnity.  The
parties agree that certain claims that were contingent at the
Petition Date, but which crystallized after the date of the U.K.
Global Settlement Agreement -- the Lone Tail Liability Claims --
should be compromised under the CVAs and, hence, paid a dividend
rather than in full.

The Administrators believe that the claims are beyond the scope
of those that they agreed would be paid out of the reserves to
be established under the CVAs, and that as a result the Debtors
should bear responsibility for funding the payment of any
dividends to be paid out on account of the Long Tail Liability
Claims.  The Plan Proponents agreed that the Debtors should
assume the responsibility.

However, rather than provide a cash reserve for the potential
claims, the Plan Proponents and the Administrators agreed that
the Debtors could fund the claims through the grant of an
indemnity covering the dividends to be payable on the claims.

The Long Tail Liability Claims Indemnity provides that in the
event that any Long Tail Liability Claims are allowed under the
CVAs, the supervisors of the CVAs will be entitled to call on
the Long Tail Liability Claims Indemnity to fund the payment of
any Long Tail Liability Claims.

The CVAs identify only a single claim, which relates to the
proposed termination of the lease relating to the facility
currently leased by Federal-Mogul Sealing Systems (Slough)
Limited, as a Long Tail Liability Claim.  That lease has not yet
been terminated by FMSS-Slough, however, and as a result the
ultimate amount of the claim is unknown, although the Debtors
estimate that the cost of terminating the lease is in the range
of GBP2 million to GBP2.5 million.  The CVAs project a 27%
dividend on general unsecured claims against FMSS-Slough.

Assuming the breach-of-lease claim is ultimately treated as a
Long Tail Liability Claim, the amount payable under the Long
Tail Liability Claims indemnity would be around GBP540,000 to
GBP675,000.  If the claim is not treated as a Long Tail
Liability Claim, however, it would be payable in full, Ms.
McFarland points out.

The Debtors admit that other potential Long Tail Liability
Claims may emerge as the claims process under the CVAs unfolds.

                  Federal-Mogul Tax Undertaking

The third compromise relates to an undertaking to be given by
Federal-Mogul in connection with certain "tax neutrality"
provisions in the CVAs.  The CVAs contain exceptionally detailed
and intricate provisions intended to ensure that any commutation
of the Hercules Policy -- a GBP500 million policy that covers
Debtor T&N Limited and certain other Debtors for losses relating
to asbestos personal injury claims -- or settlement of
associated claims has no adverse tax consequences to the
Debtors.

In connection with the tax neutrality provisions of the CVAs,
Federal-Mogul has provided an undertaking that commits it to
perform some obligations, which relate to the commutation of the
Hercules Policy or settlement of related claims.  Pursuant to
the undertaking, Federal-Mogul agrees to perform two principal
obligations:

   1. The determination of a reserve or other provision for U.K.
      taxes in the event that a request is made by the U.K.
      Asbestos Trustee and the U.S. Asbestos Trust to settle or
      commute the Hercules Policy; and

   2. The preparation of a draft application under HM Revenue &
      Customs Code of Practice 10.  

T&N is not required under the CVAs to enter into any agreement
settling or commuting the Hercules Policy unless the settlement
or commutation is tax neutral in the United Kingdom to T&N and
each of the other entities covered by the Hercules Policy.

There may be uncertainty as to the amount of any future charge
to U.K. tax in respect of asbestos-related receipts.  To address
that uncertainty, the CVAs require Federal-Mogul to calculate a
reasonably prudent provision or reserve for U.K. tax in respect
of the asbestos-related receipts, to the extent that Federal-
Mogul reasonably considers that the provision or reserve can
properly be quantified.

In the event that the U.K. Asbestos Trustee and the U.S.
Asbestos Trust disagree either with the amount that Federal-
Mogul calculates, the disagreement will be referred to a firm of
accountants to be agreed by the parties or, failing in that
agreement, to be appointed by the President of the Institute of
Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.  That determination
of the firm will be binding on each of Federal-Mogul, the U.K.
Asbestos Trustee and the U.S. Asbestos Trust.

The draft application, Ms. McFarland relates, will seek
confirmation from the U.K. taxing authorities that the effect of
any commutation of or settlement of claims under the Hercules
Policy in accordance with the CVAs would be U.K. tax neutral for
U.K. corporation tax purposes for all entities covered by the
Hercules Policy, which are taxpayers in the United Kingdom.

           Debtors to Comply with Other CVA Obligations

In addition, the Debtors seek the Court's authority to:

   a. comply with their obligations under the CVAs and    
      associated documents; and

   b. enter into and perform any other transactions ancillary to
      the CVAs and associated documents that may be necessary to
      give effect to the CVAs.

The Debtors and the other Plan Proponents have negotiated for
the inclusion of these provisions into the CVAs to ensure that
Federal-Mogul is properly informed regarding various matters
relating to the CVAs and has the ability to consider and raise
issues concerning the matters.

According to Ms. McFarland, Federal-Mogul's consent is required
on a number of issues throughout the CVAs.

The Debtors seek authority to perform any other tasks incidental
to the CVAs in anticipation of possible other limited tasks that
will be needed to be performed so that the CVAs may become
effective.

MG ROVER: BMW Confirms Sale of Rover Marque to Mystery Buyer
------------------------------------------------------------
BMW AG confirmed it has sold the rights to the Rover brand name
to an unnamed buyer, BBC News discloses.  BMW has been looking
to sell the Rover trademark after former BMW-unit MG Rover's
collapse in April 8, 2005.  

MG Rover was bought by Nanjing Automobile Group last year with
Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. retaining the design rights
to two Rover models, and Ford holding the first option over the
brand after it bought Land Rover in 2000.  BMW retained the
rights to the Rover brand name after selling the business in
2000 to Phoenix Venture Holdings for GBP10 million.

According to the report, BMW has been in talks with several
parties in recent months, including Nanjing Automobile and
Shanghai Automotive.

SAIC intends to pay about GBP11 million (US$20.8 million) for
the Rover brand names, The Wall Street Journal says citing media
reports.

Ford Motor will have the right of first refusal before the
rights sale will be finalized.  A BMW spokesman declined to
reveal when the 90-day period will expire.

"We have been in discussions with several parties over the sale
of the Rover trademark and we have now closed a deal with one of
these parties," a BMW spokesman was quoted by BBC as saying.

Headquartered at Longbridge, Birmingham, U.K., MG Rover Group
Limited -- http://www1.mg-rover.com/-- produced automobiles    
under the Rover and MG brands, together with engine maker
Powertrain Ltd.  Previously owned by Phoenix Venture Holdings,
the company faced huge losses in recent years, reaching GBP64.1
million in 2004, which were blamed on reduced sales.

MG Rover collapsed on April 8, 2005, after a tie-up with China's
largest carmaker, Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation,
failed to materialize.  It appointed Ian Powell, Tony Lomas and
Rob Hunt, partners in PricewaterhouseCoopers, as joint
administrators.  The crisis left 6,000 people jobless, and
caused a domino effect on related businesses, particularly in
the West Midlands.  

Days later, eight European subsidiaries -- MG Rover Deutschland
GmbH; MG Rover Nederland B.V.; MG. Rover Belux S.A./N.V.; MG
Rover Espana S.A.; MG Rover Italia S.p.A.; MG Rover Portugal-
Veiculos e Pecas LDA; Rover France S.A.S., and Rover Ireland
Limited -- also fell into administration.

In July 2005, Nanjing bought the assets of both MG Rover and
Powertrain Ltd. for GBP53 million.  Nanjing has started shipping
equipment from Longbridge to China and was reportedly close to a
deal with SAIC to manufacture the Rover 25 and Powertrain
engines.

NTL Inc. is in talks with a group of four buyout firms
including:

   -- Providence Equity Partners Inc.
   -- Blackstone Group LP
   -- Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., and
   -- Cinven Ltd.

about a potential offer for Britain's biggest cable-television
company, Bloomberg News reports citing two unnamed sources.

According to the sources, the firms are contemplating a takeover
bid as NTL faces growing competition from British Sky
Broadcasting Group Plc and BT Group Plc.

"The company is an attractive target for private equity" because
of its cash flow and assets, Aryeh Bourkoff, an analyst at UBS
AG in New York, told Bloomberg.

In March 2005, NTL received and rejected several unofficial
takeover bids from private equity firms.

The Times reports that at least two investors are planning to
write NTL CEO Steve Burch to complain about the board's decision
to reject a US$32-a-share offer in 2005.

As previously reported in TCR-Europe, NTL opened itself to a
private equity offer on Aug. 8 after sustaining a significant
drop in customers.

In the company's financial report for the second quarter ending
June 30, 2006, net customer disconnections are 18,900 compared
with 25,800 net customer additions in the first quarter and
62,500 net customer additions for the second quarter in 2005.

According to the report, the group declined an unofficial GBP8
billion takeover offer from a consortium including Apax
Partners, Cinven and Permira last year, claiming that it was
below the company's worth. Since then, NTL's share price dropped
from US$27.25 to US$22.76.

RADNOR HOLDINGS: Files for Chapter 11 Protection to Sell Assets
---------------------------------------------------------------
Radnor Holdings Corp. and 21 of its affiliates filed for
chapter 11 protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware on Aug. 21, 2006.

Paul D. Ridder, the Company's Vice-President, Chief Financial
Officer and Assistant Secretary tells the Court that the Debtors
have a highly leveraged capital structure, as a result of both
operational decisions and circumstances beyond their control.
Specifically, during 2005 and 2006, the Debtors launched certain
new products in response to customer requirements and an effort
to improve profitability.  Although the new product launches
were successful and the Debtors obtained valuable customer
contracts as a result, the Debtors made significant expenditures
related to the new products, including investments in equipment
and research.  To make such expenditures and meet operating
expenses, the Company incurred substantial debt.  A significant
percentage of that debt is at variable interest rates that have
steadily risen.  

When the Debtors filed for bankruptcy, the principal amount of
their secured indebtedness was in excess of $201 million,
consisting of:

    * a prepetition term loan under which approximately
      $118.5 million is outstanding,

    * a prepetition revolving facility under which approximately
      $63.4 million is outstanding, and

    * additional secured debt of approximately $19.2 million
      outstanding under miscellaneous secured credit documents.  

The Debtors also have unsecured bond indebtedness in the
principal amount of $135 million, an unsecured note in the
principal amount of $7 million in connection with the
acquisition of the Debtors' plastics manufacturing operations in
2003, and approximately $47.2 million in unpaid ordinary course
trade debt, including certain accrued expenses.

             Operational and Financial Difficulties

Mr. Ridder adds that over the past 12 months, the Debtors have
experienced an unprecedented increase in raw material prices and
escalating energy costs.  Specifically, the Company's products
require a variety of raw materials, including styrene monomer
and pentane in the production of expandable polystyrene (EPS),
and plastic resins such as polystyrene and polypropylene for the
manufacture of plastic packaging products.  Each of these raw
materials is petrochemical based.  Thus, escalating
petrochemical and petrochemical derivatives product prices have
significantly increased the cost of the raw materials the
Company uses to produce its products, which increased costs the
Debtors have not been able to fully pass through to their
customers.  Moreover, even when the Debtors were able to pass
costs through to customers, they experienced a lag between the
increase in cost and the benefit of the increased prices.

The rising cost of energy (both crude oil and natural gas) also
increased the Debtors' operating expenses, including shipping
costs and the cost of running their manufacturing facilities. As
a result, the Debtors' operating margins have suffered,
notwithstanding the fact that the Debtors have been able to
increase the average selling prices of certain of their
products, Mr. Ridder says.

Mr. Ridder contends that the Debtors' highly leveraged capital
structure has limited not only their ability to respond to
thoseconditions, but also their ability to exploit business
opportunities and respond to unpredictable business challenges,
such as the 2005 Gulf Coast hurricanes.

                Prepetition Restructuring Efforts

Earlier this year, the Company undertook more aggressive
measures to improve operating performance and address its
liquidity concerns.  In particular, the Debtors began to
implement a company-wide cost reduction program.  These efforts
included consolidating the Debtors' Jacksonville, Florida
manufacturing operation into other plants, and reducing the
Debtors' workforce by approximately 10%.  The Debtors have also
made strides in improving manufacturing efficiencies and
reducing nonoperating costs.  Although the Debtors benefited
from these initiatives, their liquidity problems continued,
according to Mr. Ridder.

By June of this year, the Debtors had been advanced
approximately $20 million in excess of permitted advances under
the Prepetition Revolving Facility.  Accordingly, on June 15,
2006, the Debtors publicly announced that they had reached an
agreement with National City Business Credit, Inc. -- the
Prepetition Revolving Agent -- and Bank of America, N.A. as
syndication agent and KeyBank, National Association, pursuant to
which the Debtors agreed to undertake efforts to reduce the Over
Advance in exchange for such lenders' agreement to forbear from
exercising rights and remedies on account of the Over Advance.   
NCBC, BofA and Keybank are the Original Prepetition Revolving
Lenders.

                         Sale Process

At the same time, the Debtors began evaluating strategic
alternatives, and engaged Lehman Brothers as their financial
advisor to advise and assist with the evaluation of such
alternatives.  Lehman immediately commenced due diligence and
worked with the Company to develop a preliminary business plan
for 2006 and 2007.  Based on that plan, the Debtors and their
financial advisers pursued a variety of transactions, including
an equity or capital infusion as well as a sale of all or a
portion of the Company's business.  In addition, Lehman began to
search for debtor-in-possession financing, in the event that the
Company determined to commence Chapter 11 cases.

Although the Company and Lehman contacted numerous potentially
interested parties regarding financing and sales, it became
apparent that the Prepetition Term Loan Agent was the most
likely potential purchaser of the Debtors' assets and that the
Original Prepetition Revolving Lenders were the most likely
providers of debtor in possession financing.

Accordingly, the Debtors and their advisors approached
Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC, regarding its interest in
serving as a "stalking horse" bidder in a bankruptcy court-
supervised sale of the Debtors' business.  At the same time, the
Debtors began to negotiate the terms and conditions of a debtor
in possession financing facility with the Original Prepetition
Revolving Lenders.

                    Negotiations with Lenders

While negotiating the terms of a stalking horse bid, the Debtors
entered into the First Amendment to the Agreement Regarding
Loans, dated as of July 18, 2006, pursuant to which the
Prepetition Revolving Agent and the Prepetition Revolving
Lenders agreed to continue to fund the Debtors, and forbear from
exercising rights and remedies, through July 27, 2006.  The
primary purposes of the First Amendment were to afford the
Debtors an opportunity to negotiate the stalking horse agreement
and to arrange debtor in possession financing by proving the
Company with additional liquidity of $3.2 million.  

In connection with the First Amendment, the Prepetition Term
Loan Agent and the Prepetition Term Loan Lenders entered into an
intercreditor agreement, dated July 18, 2006, with the
Prepetition Revolving Agent and the Original Prepetition
Revolving Lenders, pursuant to which the Prepetition Term Loan
Lenders contractually agreed to subordinate to the Increased
Overadvance.  Subsequently, the Debtors and the Prepetition
Revolving Agent and the Original Prepetition Revolving Lenders
extended the forbearance period through July 31, 2006.

On August 1, 2006, the Current Prepetition Revolving Lender
purchased the interests of the Original Prepetition Revolving
Lenders with respect to the Prepetition Revolving Facility, and
concurrently therewith provided the Debtors with additional
liquidity of $5 million and a forbearance through August 21,
2006.  The Debtors used the additional time and liquidity
provided by the Current Prepetition Revolving Lenders to further
explore their restructuring alternatives, and negotiate the
terms of a stalking horse agreement with the Prepetition Term
Loan Agent and the terms of debtor in possession financing with
the Current Prepetition Revolving Lenders.

The Debtors' efforts culminated in the Debtors entering into two
agreements.  The first is a stalking horse asset purchase
agreement, pursuant to which the Debtors would sell
substantially all of their assets, subject to higher and better
offers, to TR Acquisition Company, Inc., an affiliate of the
Prepetition Term Loan Agent.  The second agreement is a debtor
in possession financing credit agreement that provides the
Debtors with sufficient liquidity to commence a bankruptcy court
supervised sale process that will enable the Debtors to maximize
value for creditors and other interested parties through a sale
of substantially all of its assets or some other restructuring
alternative.

Accordingly, the Debtors filed for bankruptcy to use the section
363 sale process as a means to maximize value and provide
themselves with a vehicle to explore any and all of their
restructuring alternatives, Mr. Ridder explains.

due 2011.

   -- EUR7,800,000 Class I secured notes (ISIN XS0171178154) at   
      AAA;

   -- EUR19,500,000 Class II secured notes (ISIN XS0171178238)
      at AA;

   -- EUR11,310,000 Class III secured notes (ISIN XS0171178311)
      at A;

   -- EUR17,550,000 Class IV secured notes (ISIN XS0171178584)
      at BBB-;

   -- EUR3,250,000 Class V-A secured notes (ISIN XS0171178667)
      at BB-;

   -- EUR1,820,000 Class V-B secured notes (ISIN XS0171179046)
      at BB-; and

   -- EUR65,000,000 combination notes (ISIN XS0172108317) at A-.

This transaction is a synthetic collateralized debt obligation
backed by collateral securities funded by the net proceeds of
the notes.  Rembrandt, a special purpose vehicle, is
incorporated under the laws of Jersey.  The notes have a
scheduled maturity in June 2011 and absorb the credit risk of a
credit default swap with Morgan Stanley Capital Services, Inc.

The credit default swap relates to a reference portfolio of 106
corporate reference entities.  The reference entities may be
substituted, subject to certain eligibility criteria.  These
substitution decisions are made by Fortis Investments as
investment manager.

The affirmations are due to the increased seasoning of the
transaction, which has offset negative credit migration in the
reference portfolio.  There have been no credit events to date;
however, the weighted average Fitch rating deteriorated to a
BBB+/BBB rating from A-/BBB+ at the February 2005 rating action.

As of 17 July 2006, the portfolio's weighted average rating
factor is at the covenant maximums of 10.5.  As of today, the
portfolio contains four speculative-grade reference entities
compared to two at the time of the February 2005 rating action.
The seasoning is depicted by the decline in Weighted Average
Life to 4.82 years from 6.31 in February 2005.  Due to this
seasoning, the credit enhancement levels are still sufficient to
withstand Fitch's stress tests at the current ratings.


RENLIK TRADING: Creditors Confirm Liquidators Appointment
---------------------------------------------------------
Timothy Simon Cockcroft of Timothy S. Cockcroft was appointed
Liquidator of Renlik Trading Co. Limited on July 26 for the
purposes of the company's voluntary wind-up.

The appointment was confirmed at a meeting of creditors held on
the same day.

SCOTTISH RE: Fitch Downgrades Issuer Default Rating to BB
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings downgraded Scottish Re Group Ltd.'s (NYSE:SCT)
ratings as:

Scottish Re Group Ltd.

   -- Issuer default rating (IDR) to BB from BBB-.

Operating subsidiaries:

   -- Insurer financial strength (IFS) to BBB from BBB+.

All ratings remain on Rating Watch Negative.

The ratings action follows an update of SCT's liquidity and
collateral position, which now appears tighter than Fitch had
previously anticipated.  At this date, Fitch does not believe
that SCT has sufficient liquidity, without concessions from its
bank group, to fund the repayment of the US$115 million in
convertible notes in December 2006.

Since Fitch's most recent rating action on Aug. 1, SCT's primary
operating subsidiary, Scottish Annuity & Life Insurance (Cayman)
Ltd. (SALIC), has drawn down US$265 million in funds under the
Stingray Investor Trust liquidity facility both to confirm the
availability of this source and for use in unwinding existing
funding agreements with rating triggers.  

SALIC is also pursuing other liquidity sources, including
surplus relief transactions. At this date the liquidity and
collateral position at SALIC appears solid through March 31,
2007.

A key issue now is the considerable uncertainty surrounding
SALIC's ability to dividend funds to SCT or access credit
available under its bank facilities.  While SALIC is attempting
to resolve the issue with the bank syndicate, SCT is pursuing
its own avenues to raise capital and is engaged in finding a
buyer for the company.

While Fitch believes the actuarial appraisal will indicate
significant value in the underlying business, the timing of a
potential sale as well as any other the other actions being
pursued by the company is uncertain.  As such the ratings could
be lowered further and remain on Rating Watch Negative.

The following ratings remain on Rating Watch Negative:

Scottish Annuity & Life Insurance Company (Cayman) Limited

   -- IFS downgraded to BBB from BBB+.

Scottish Re (U.S.) Inc.

   -- IFS downgraded to BBB from BBB+.

Scottish Re Limited

   -- IFS downgraded to BBB from BBB+.

Scottish Re Group Limited

   -- IDR downgraded to BB from BBB-;

   -- 4.5% US$115 million senior convertible notes downgraded to
      BB- from BB+;

   -- 5.875% US$142 million hybrid capital units downgraded to
      B+ from BB;

   -- 7.25% US$125 million non-cumulative perpetual preferred
      stock downgraded to B+ from BB.


SMARTIRE SYSTEMS: BDO Dunwoody Replaces KPMG as Accountants
-----------------------------------------------------------
SmarTire Systems, Inc., has accepted the resignation of KPMG
LLP, as the Company's independent registered public accounting
firm and engaged BDO Dunwoody LLP, as its new independent
registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending
July 31, 2006.

The Company's Audit Committee made the decision to change
independent accountants and that decision was approved, ratified
and adopted by the Company's Board of Directors.

The Company disclosed that, the audit report of KPMG on the
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended
July 31, 2004, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer
of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principles but was modified as to
uncertainty due to substantial doubt regarding the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.  The audit report of
KPMG on the consolidated financial statements as of and for the
year ended July 31, 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified, but was modified as
to uncertainty due to substantial doubt regarding the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company also disclosed that BDO will perform procedures
related to the financial statements included in the Company's
quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB, beginning with, and including,
the quarter ended Oct. 31, 2006.  The Company's Audit Committee
considered BDO's experience and expertise related to public
companies traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board as well
as reviewed auditor independence issues and existing commercial
relationships with BDO.  The Audit Committee concluded that BDO
has no commercial relationship that would impair its
independence and had the appropriate expertise that the Company
required regarding its current operations.

VALHI INC: Weak Profile Prompts S&P to Cut Credit Rating to BB-  
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Valhi Inc. and its indirect subsidiary Kronos
International Inc. to 'BB-' from 'BB'.  At the same time,
Standard & Poor's lowered its rating on Kronos' EUR400 million
senior secured notes issue due 2013 to 'B' from 'B+'.  All
ratings remain on CreditWatch with negative implications, where
they were placed earlier this year in connection with an adverse
verdict in a Rhode Island lead pigment lawsuit.
      
"The downgrade reflects deterioration in operating trends versus
our previous expectations, a modest weakening of the financial
profile due to increased share repurchases, and continued
concern regarding the potential negative implications stemming
from the lead litigation," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Wesley E. Chinn.

During the second quarter of 2006, the company experienced
higher raw material and energy costs and weakening titanium
dioxide (Ti02) product pricing and mix.  When coupled with
lingering economic uncertainties for the second half of 2006,
this could continue to compress margins in Valhi's chemicals
segment and limit the free cash flow necessary to maintain its
financial profile.  The chemicals segment accounts for
approximately 86% of the company's total sales.
     
The ratings on Valhi reflect the company's limited business
diversity, exposure to cyclical commodity product cycles, and an
aggressive financial profile.  These factors are mitigated by
the company's well-established position among the leading global
TiO2 producers and a niche component products business through
its CompX International Inc. subsidiary.  In the TiO2 segment,
Valhi benefits from good geographic diversity, environmentally
compliant proprietary chloride process technology, and
competitive cost positions.

With about US$1.4 billion in sales, Valhi is a holding company
that derives the majority of its revenue and operating profits
from its ownership in Kronos Worldwide Inc., the world's fifth-
largest producer of TiO2.

On Feb. 22, 2006, a jury in Rhode Island found Valhi's
subsidiary NL Industries Inc., along with Sherwin-Williams Co.
and Millennium Chemicals Inc., liable for creating a public
nuisance by making lead-based paints decades ago.  Possible
damages could be substantial, although the extent to which an
adverse ruling would affect Valhi or the credit quality of its
other subsidiaries is uncertain.  The verdict found the
defendants responsible for the abatement of lead-based paint,
which has been banned in the U.S. since 1978 because of serious
health issues caused by lead poisoning.  Some estimates have
placed the number of affected homes in Rhode Island in the range
of 200,000 to 300,000 and cleanup costs of US$2 billion to US$3
billion.  

The cost of abatement in Rhode Island is still highly uncertain
at this time as the judge presiding over the trial will
determine the specifics of that program.  Product liability
insurance related to lead poisoning would be a mitigating factor
when assessing potential outlays for claims and defense costs,
but the extent of effective coverage, relative to the potential
obligations, is unknown.
     
Standard & Poor's expects to resolve the CreditWatch when
additional details of the abatement program are known.  These
include the possible dollar magnitude for the removal of lead
paint, lead paint removal procedures, and bonding requirements
of the appeals process.  The CreditWatch resolution would also
take into consideration the risk of additional lawsuits or other
pending legal actions against Valhi or its subsidiaries.  

In the interim, Standard & Poor's could lower the ratings if
there are prospects for extended adverse market conditions,
further deterioration of operating profitability and the
financial profile, or continued aggressive shareholder
initiatives.

                           *********

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies
with insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than
US$3 per share in public markets.  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.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Thursday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com/
