EUROTUNNEL GROUP: Creditors Contest Subsidiaries' Jurisdiction
--------------------------------------------------------------
Some of Eurotunnel Group's creditors filed objections in the
Paris Commercial Court contesting that the British Eurotunnel
subsidiaries are not under French jurisdiction.

The objections were lodged on Friday by creditors belonging in
different tiers of Eurotunnel's GBP6.18 billion debt.

"All the proposals we have seen so far are a long way from being
acceptable to us," a person familiar with the talks told
Reuters.

"The administrators and [Chairman and CEO Jacques] Gounon are
putting maximum pressure on us.  We're not going to be forced
into a bad deal just because the clock is ticking," the source
added.

Eurotunnel will meet its administrators on Sept. 13 in the hope
of presenting a deal to creditors by Oct. 15 or by Nov. 1 at the
latest.  

On Aug. 2, the court administrators sent out letters to
registered holders of bank debt informing them to their
appointment to a committee of bank debt holders.  This committee
will get to vote on Eurotunnel's restructuring plan, Dow Jones
Newswire reports.

Under the French legal proceedings, Eurotunnel creditors have
until Oct. 1 to file their claims with the court; administrators
have until Nov. 1 to present a restructuring proposal.

This plan would have to be circulated to bondholders by Nov. 15
and creditors would have 15 days to vote on it, the company
said.  According to Eurotunnel, the Paris Commercial Court
should give its decision at end of 2006, or at the latest, at
the beginning of 2007.  

"I am more than ever focused on defending the future of
Eurotunnel.  You may recall that I undertook to do my best to
bring about in early 2007 a definitive solution to the
uncertainties surrounding the future of Eurotunnel.  We should
be able to keep this deadline," Mr. Gounon disclosed in a
statement.

As previously reported, Eurotunnel obtained on Aug. 2 an order
placing the channel operator under the protection of the Court
pursuant to the new safeguard legislation (Procedure de
sauvegarde).

                     Restructuring Proposals

Eurotunnel had turned down, on June 27, a restructuring plan
prepared by a group of secured bondholders led by Deutsche Bank
AG asserting that it requires too much debt and gives too much
to bondholders.

The bondholders' restructuring plan, which values the company at
EUR7.99 billion, aimed to reduce 60% of total debt to EUR3.7
billion and issue a EUR2.175 billion convertible hybrid note
with a 4% coupon.

The plan rivaled the preliminary restructuring agreement backed
by Eurotunnel, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Macquarie Bank Ltd. and
Barclays PLC.  The plan dated May 23, valued the company at
around EUR7.03 billion and included a EUR1.5 billion hybrid
issue with a 6% to 9% coupon and would reduce debt by 54%.

Under the agreement, bondholders will get a GBP75 million return
for their GBP1.9 billion bond holdings.

On July 12, Eurotunnel presented an ultimate proposal to reach a
compromise between the May 23 preliminary restructuring
agreement and the demands made by its subordinated creditors
represented by ARCO.

The company claimed that the majority of these demands were
satisfied by the substantial efforts jointly made by the company
and the Ad Hoc Committee, which represents the group's senior
creditors.  The subordinated creditors, led by Deutsche Bank,
rejected this final attempt to reach a consensual deal.

The Joint Board of Eurotunnel unanimously decided to cancel the
General Meetings of Shareholders of Eurotunnel PLC and
Eurotunnel SA, planned for July 27.

Absent a final agreement, the Group may default in January 2007
under a 1998 debt agreement.

                      About the Company

Headquartered in Folkestone, United Kingdom and Calais, France,
Eurotunnel Group -- http://www.eurotunnel.co.uk/-- operates a  
fleet of 25 shuttle trains, which carry cars, coaches and
trucks.  It manages the infrastructure of the Channel Tunnel and
receives toll revenues from train operating companies whose
trains pass through the Tunnel.

The British and French governments have granted Eurotunnel a
concession to operate the Channel Tunnel until 2086.

                        *     *     *

                       Company Crisis

Eurotunnel's crisis began when costs to build the tunnels that
connect U.K. and France started to overrun before it opened in
1994.  The Iraq war followed, which didn't help as tourist
traffic fell.  In May 2004, Eurotunnel appointed Lazard (global
coordinator) and Lehman Brothers as bank advisors, and Dresdner
Kleinwort Wasserstein as restructuring adviser.

In July 2004, auditor KPMG Audit Plc said the company faced
uncertainty after 2005.  The firm's survival is dependent upon
its ability to put in place a refinancing plan or, if not, to
obtain an agreement with the lenders under the existing Credit
Agreement within the next two years, the auditor said.


EUTELSAT COMMUNICATIONS: Moody's Lifts Corp. Rating to Ba2   
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the Corporate Family Rating
of Eutelsat Communications S.A. to Ba2 from Ba3.  Concurrently
the rating agency upgraded to Ba3 from B1 the existing ratings
on both the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility.  The
outlook for all ratings is now stable.

Ratings upgraded include:

* Eutelsat Communications SA

   -- Corporate Family Rating to Ba2 from Ba3;

   -- EUR1.6 billion Term Loan due 2013 to Ba3 from B1; and

   -- EUR300 million Revolving Credit Facility due 2013 to Ba3
from B1.

The rating upgrade recognizes Eutelsat's improving operating
performance as evidenced by the company's recent results and
acknowledges that Eutelsat has maintained debt at the reduced
levels achieved with its IPO in late 2005.  

At the same time operational risk has been improved through the
successful launch of two key satellites, HOT BIRD 7A and HOT
BIRD 8.  The ratings continue to acknowledge Eutelsat's strong
business position based on its joint market leadership in
satellite-distributed video content over Europe, a substantial,
mainly video-based contract back-log, one of the industry's
youngest satellite fleets and strong distribution partners.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Eutelsat
will continue to perform in line with operational guidance
(revenue in excess of Euro 800 million and EBITDA margins of 77%
for 06-07) and preserve current leverage levels in broad terms.

At 30 June 2006, the ratio of adjusted gross debt as calculated
by Moody's (including performance incentives and adjustments
made for operating leases and pensions) to EBITDA was
approximately 4.2 times.  

Further ratings progress could well be achieved over time as the
company develops a track record in its current constellation and
pursues a strategy of combining further development of its
premium 13 degrees East and 28.5 degrees East positions with the
development of additional video positions and growth in data
services.

However, Moody's also notes that the company's recent
refinancing has increased the company's borrowing headroom by
relaxing relevant covenants (Net Financial Debt/EBITDA at 5.5x,
decreasing over time).  Any material utilization of this
headroom through a debt-financed acquisition or otherwise, could
result in ratings pressure.

Headquartered in Paris, Eutelsat Communications SA is a holding
company, which indirectly owns 95.2% of Eutelsat SA and its
subsidiaries.  Eutelsat SA is a leading, internationally
operating supplier of fixed satellite services.  Following the
2005 IPO financial investors still hold around 60% of Eutelsat
Communications's equity.  The post-IPO lock up for these shares
expired in June of 2006.

INFOMATEC AG: Completes Insolvency Exit Plan
--------------------------------------------
Infomatec AG has completed its insolvency exit plan in close
cooperation with the decision-making bodies, as well as with the
relevant authorities and institutions, and an investor group,
consisting of several independent consortia, under the
leadership of ALV AG.

As originally expected, this plan was submitted to the relevant
court at the beginning of August 2006, in parallel with the
successful completion of the repurchase of more than 60% of the
company debt by the same investor group.  The approval of the
creditor majority has also been achieved through the efforts of
the investor group and the respective consortia.  

Negotiations are underway to achieve strategic alliances and
possible acquisitions in the very lucrative field of various
proven internet platforms.

Headquartered in Gersthofen, Germany, Infomatec AG (G.IFO) --

technology for industrial customers.  The group offers complete

AES CORP: AESWapiti Inks 30-Year Supply Agreement with BC Hydro
---------------------------------------------------------------
AESWapiti Energy Corporation, the Canadian subsidiary of The AES
Corp., has signed a power purchase agreement with BC Hydro
Corporation for the AESWapiti 184 MW power generation project
which is expected to be built northeast of Tumbler Ridge in
northeastern British Columbia, Canada.  The agreement has a term
of thirty years beginning in 2010.

AESWapiti is developing the new coal and biomass powered plant
and a 35-kilometer 230Kv power transmission line.  The project
also includes development and operation of a thermal coal mine
by Hillsborough Resources Limited (TSX:HLB).  Hillsborough
Resources Limited will be the exclusive supplier of coal to the
project.  The power plant will be located at Hillsborough's
Wapiti thermal coal property near Tumbler Ridge where it will be
fueled by thermal coal from the Wapiti property and by up to 20%
bio-mass from local forestry waste.  The estimated cost of the
power plant is US$450 million.

The project is now undergoing review through the BC regulatory
review, which includes filing the power purchase agreement with
the British Columbia Utilities Commission for approval.  
AESWapiti has started the Environmental Assessment process and
is holding information meetings regarding the project in a
number of northeastern BC communities.  Construction is expected
to begin in late 2007, after the project receives all necessary
approvals from the Utilities Commission and the Environmental
Assessment Office.  Mine development will begin one year prior
to the opening of the power generation facility, expected in
2010.

                      About Hillsborough

Hillsborough Resources Limited is a coal mining company that
operates the Quinsam underground thermal coal mine in Campbell
River, British Columbia, serving the local and west-coast U.S.
cement industry. Near Tumbler Ridge in northeast B.C.,
Hillsborough has substantial metallurgical coal properties under
development including the Horizon mine project, and is
developing the Wapiti thermal coal mine to be the exclusive
supplier commencing in 2010 for the power generation plant to be
constructed and operated on the property by AESWapiti Energy
Corporation. Hillsborough also holds the Bingay Creek
metallurgical coal property located in the Elk Valley region of
Southeast British Columbia.

                      About the Company

PARMALAT SPA: Finanziara, et al., Seek Stay Pending Appeal
----------------------------------------------------------
Parmalat Finanziara S.p.A. and affiliated entities, and the
reorganized company formed in the Foreign Debtors' Italian
insolvency proceedings ask Judge Lewis A. Kaplan of the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York for an
order granting injunctive relief or a stay.

The Foreign Debtors want any proceedings concerning Reorganized
Parmalat in the securities litigation suspended pending
determination of an appeal from a District Court order
permitting the filing of a Third Amended Complaint.

In July 2006, the District Court permitted the investor
plaintiffs to file the Third Amended Complaint naming
Reorganized Parmalat as a defendant.  The Foreign Debtors and
Reorganized Parmalat have taken an appeal to the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Second Circuit from the July 2006 Order insofar
as it (i) modified or dissolved the prior injunctive relief that
had been granted pursuant to Section 304 of the Bankruptcy Code,
or (ii) denied the Section 304 relief.

Citing In re Sonnax Industries, Inc., 907 F.2d 1280, 1283 (2d
Cir. 1990), Howard B. Comet, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges
LLP, in New York, asserts that the rule is well-settled in
bankruptcy cases that immediate appeals may be taken of orders
that finally dispose of discrete disputes within the larger
case.

Mr. Comet contends that the July 2006 Order may be immediately
appealed because it finally resolves the dispute as to whether
the Foreign Debtors and Reorganized Parmalat are entitled to
Section 304 relief regarding the investors' claims in the
Securities Litigation.

The Foreign Debtors and Reorganized Parmalat believe that a
District Court order dissolving or denying Section 304
injunctive relief has the same finality as an order lifting the
automatic stay.  Since courts have considered an order lifting
stay to be final and appealable, Mr. Comet says that the July
2006 Order may be appealed.

Pending the determination of the appeal, Mr. Comet asserts that
the District Court may enjoin or stay the proceedings against
Reorganized Parmalat pursuant to Rule 62 of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedures.  Mr. Comet argues that:

   a. if the Section 304 relief previously granted is not
      restored pending appeal, the Foreign Debtors and
      Reorganized Parmalat will incur the very harm that the
      statute is designed to prevent -- they will be subjected
      to massive U.S. litigation on claims that belong in the
      Italian bankruptcy court;

   b. the only harm the investors will incur if the appeal is
      unsuccessful is that they will have been temporarily
      delayed in the prosecution of claims, which delay provides
      no basis for denying the relief pending appeal;

   c. the appeal is likely to be successful; and

   d. public interest weighs heavily in favor of a stay pending
      appeal.

          Credit Suisse Wants 3rd Amended Suit Dismissed

Since filing their first amended consolidated complaint, the
investors have taken 20 months to specify which Credit Suisse
entities they seek to sue despite this deficiency having been
brought to their attention, Michael S. Feldberg, Esq., at Allen
& Overly LLP, in New York, tells the Court.

In the Third Amended Complaint, the investors alleged, among
others, that Credit Suisse, Credit Suisse International, and
Credit Suisse Securities (Europe), Limited, structured and
participated in a transaction to provide financing to the
Brazilian subsidiary of Parmalat, knowing that Parmalat would
use it to conceal debt on its financial statements.

According to Mr. Feldberg, Credit Suisse stands on a different
footing with Credit Suisse International and Credit Suisse
Securities.

Mr. Feldberg contends that the Third Amended Complaint is devoid
of any facts that detail with specificity Credit Suisse's role
in the challenged transaction.  Credit Suisse believes that the
Complaint fails adequately to plead a primary violation of the
securities laws under the particularity requirements of Rule
9(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

There is no allegation in the Third Amended Complaint that
Credit Suisse committed a deceptive or manipulative act, Mr.
Feldberg points out.  Instead, he continues, investors meld
Credit Suisse into the umbrella term "Credit Suisse Entities"
without detailing the nature of its participation in the alleged
fraudulent scheme.

Credit Suisse also believes that the investors' references to it
as the corporate parent of Credit Suisse International and
Credit Suisse Securities do not advance their position.  Mere
allegation of a status as a corporate parent of alleged
wrongdoers does not suffice, Mr. Feldberg says.

Mr. Feldberg also notes that the investors did not allege that
Credit Suisse acted scienter with particularity, as required by
the Reform Act and Second Circuit decisional law.  To plead
scienter, the plaintiff must allege a purpose to harm by
intentionally deceiving, manipulating or defrauding, Mr.
Feldberg explains, citing Ernst & Ernst v. Hochfelder, 425 U.S.
185, 193, 96 S. Ct. 1375, 1381 (1976).

The Third Amended Complaint adds a new claim for controlling
person liability against Credit Suisse.  However, Credit Suisse
says the claim is deficient.

Mr. Feldberg argues that the Third Amended Complaint's
allegations of control "do not show that Credit Suisse had
actual control over the transaction at issue."

"No amendment could cure the deficiencies identified in the
third amended complaint," Mr. Feldberg insists.  "Credit Suisse
simply had no involvement in the Parmalat matters at issue . . .
and there are no facts that could support the legal conclusion
of [it's participation] in the alleged fraudulent scheme or
actively controlled the . . . entities which are alleged to have
participated."

Credit Suisse asks the District Court to dismiss the Third
Amended Complaint as against it and reject all claims against
it, with prejudice.

Grant Thornton LLP also asks the District Court to dismiss the
Third Amended Complaint.  It filed a memorandum of law
supporting its dismissal motion under seal.

              BofA Wants Liquidators' Suit Dismissed

The lawsuit initiated by Gordon I. MacRae and James Cleaver, as
the Joint Official Liquidators of Parmalat Capital Finance
Limited, against various Bank of America entities was
transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of New York and consolidated with other suits before Judge
Kaplan.

BofA asks Judge Kaplan to dismiss the Liquidators' complaint and
reject the Liquidators' claims, with prejudice.

The Liquidators' real complaint is with Parmalat Capital's
corrupt corporate parent, not BofA, Daniel A. McLaughlin, Esq.,
at Sidley Austin LLP, in New York, asserts.  Because of the
preliminary injunction granted under Section 304, however, the
Liquidators cannot sue Parmalat SpA in the U.S.

BofA alleges that the Liquidators concocted claims that are
nothing more than a transparent attempt to find a solvent entity
to pay for Parmalat's wrongdoing -- notwithstanding that BofA
happens to be a victim itself.

The Liquidators' Complaint should be dismissed because the
Liquidators lack standing to bring the suit, Mr. McLaughlin
argues.  The Complaint, he notes, does not allege that Parmalat
Capital had any operations of its own, or any value as an
ongoing business.  Parmalat Capital was not an operating entity,
rather it was a financing entity.

Hence, BofA contends, any harm caused by Parmalat's actions was
not suffered by Parmalat Capital.  In fact, Mr. McLaughlin
points out, the Liquidators admit that they are claiming losses
allegedly suffered by Parmalat Capital's creditors.

BofA also believes that the Liquidators are barred from bringing
claims under the doctrine of in pari delicto, which forecloses
recovery by a claimant that was a participant in the complained-
of wrong.

Because the Complaint makes clear that Parmalat Capital was a
financing entity created as an instrumentality of Parmalat's
wrongdoing, Mr. McLaughlin asserts that in pari delicto bars the
Liquidators' claims.

The Complaint fails to allege the essential elements of each
cause of action asserted, necessitating dismissal of each claim,
Mr. McLaughlin adds.

Distilled to its essence, BofA asserts that the Complaint is an
attempt to hold the bank liable for Parmalat's use of its wholly
owned subsidiary as an instrumentality to perpetuate its fraud.

             Liquidators Want Dismissal Motion Denied

Messrs. MacRae and Cleaver insist that BofA helped certain
Parmalat Capital and Parmalat SpA insiders steal from Parmalat
Capital for over a number of years.

Contrary to BofA's arguments, the Liquidators assert that they
have standing to bring the suit.

"[BofA's] argument ignores the reality of [Parmalat Capital's]
corporate existence," Richard I. Janvey, Esq., at Janvey Gordon
Herlands Randolph & Cox LLP, notes.  "Moreover, 'financing
entities' routinely bring claims to recover damages they have
suffered."

According to Mr. Janvey, BofA's in pari delicto argument seeks
to pervert an equitable doctrine to achieve the inequitable
result of letting a wrongdoer go free at the expense of Parmalat
Capital's creditors.

Parmalat Capital, Mr. Janvey points out, is under the control of
the Liquidators appointed by the Cayman Court seeking recovery
for the benefit of its creditors, not the original bad actors.
Moreover, Parmalat Capital's culpable insiders acted completely
adverse to Parmalat Capital's interests, and thus the wrongful
knowledge of those insiders cannot be imputed to it.

Accordingly, the Liquidators ask the Court to reject BofA's
arguments and deny the dismissal request.

                         BofA Talks Back

BofA insists that Parmalat Capital's Liquidators lack standing
to bring the claims in the Complaint.

Citing Wight v. BankAmerica Corp., 219 F.3d 79, 86 (2d Cir.
2000), Mr. McLaughlin contends that a plaintiff cannot assert
the interests or rights of third parties.

BofA also maintains that the in pari delicto doctrine applies to
Parmalat Capital and the Liquidators.

Mr. McLaughlin further points out that In re Parmalat Sec.
Litig., 383 F. Supp. 2d 587, 594 (S.D.N.Y. 2005), the District
Court rejected a similar argument raised by Parmalat Capital
that its role in Parmalat SpA's fraud is irrelevant because its
corrupt management resigned in favor of the Liquidators.

As Parmalat Capital admitted in the Complaint, Parmalat was its
ultimate operating parent, Parmalat engaged in a massive fraud,
and Parmalat Capital was an "instrumentality" used to carry out
that fraud, Mr. McLaughlin notes.

CENTERCREDIT INT'L: Moody's Rates US$200-Mln Sr. Notes at Ba1
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba1 long-term local
currency rating to the senior unsecured notes expected to be
issued by CenterCredit International B.V. (Netherlands), a
direct wholly owned subsidiary of Kazakhstan's CenterCredit
Bank.  

The issue is planned to be unconditionally and irrevocably
guaranteed by BCC.  The notes will be denominated in Kazakh
Tenge (KZT).  The amount of the issue is expected to be
equivalent to US$200 million, with a five-year tenor.  The
outlook on the rating is stable.  The rating is subject to
reviewing the final documentation on the transaction.

The Ba1 rating incorporates potential support from the Kazakh
authorities in the event of need, in reflection of BCC's
importance to the national banking system as the country's
sixth-largest bank in terms of total assets and fourth-largest
in terms of retail customer deposits as of end-1H 2006, with
market shares of 7% and 11%, respectively.  However, Moody's
cautions that any outside support for BCC from the authorities
in case of distress might be of a limited nature and its volume
and timeliness uncertain.

Under the terms of the bond issue, all principal and interest
payments to the noteholders will be made in US dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate at the time such payments are due; this
will be provided for by means of a foreign exchange conversion
agreement between BCC and Halyk Bank.  

Only in the event that the Kazakh currency becomes
inconvertible, will noteholders receive payments in KZT, which
may require opening an account with a local bank.  This means
there are additional foreign exchange and transfer risks
attached to the notes which will be carried by potential
investors, and which are not captured by the Ba1 local currency
rating of the notes.

In addition, BCC must comply with certain covenants, such as
negative pledge, limitation on payment of dividends and
maintenance of a minimum consolidated BIS Capital Adequacy Ratio
of 10%.  The noteholders will also have the right to redeem the
notes before maturity if BCC should undertake a merger or an
asset sale, which results in a rating downgrade.  

Moody's notes that while the likelihood of such an event is
currently relatively low, it could have negative implications
for BCC's liquidity position, which in turn could further
pressurize the bank's ratings.

BCC is headquartered in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and reported total
consolidated assets of KZT330 billion (US$2.5 billion) under
IFRS as at Dec. 31, 2005, representing a rapid 122% year-on-year
growth.


JUBILEE CDO: S&P Rates EUR20-Million Class E Notes at BB-
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its preliminary
credit ratings to the EUR500 million senior secured floating-
rate notes to be issued by Jubilee CDO VII B.V., a special
purpose entity.
  
The collateral for this transaction comprises senior and
mezzanine leveraged loans, and high-yield bonds.  The
transaction has a six-year reinvestment period.  The collateral
manager will be Alcentra Ltd.
  
The portfolio is subject to par value tests and interest
coverage tests.  Failure of these tests will cause a diversion
of first principal proceeds, and, if insufficient, interest
proceeds to pay down the notes sequentially until the failure is
cured.
    
The quality of the portfolio will be monitored during the the
reinvestment period using Standard & Poor's CDO Monitor model.

TMK: Market Position Prompts Moody's to Assign B1 Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 corporate family rating
to TMK and a (P)B2 senior unsecured rating to the loan
participation notes issued by TMK Capital S.A., guaranteed by
the operating subsidiaries of TMK.  The outlook on both ratings
is positive.

In assigning the ratings to TMK, Moody's has taken into account
TMK's position as the largest manufacturer of value-added pipe
products in Russia, notably for the oil and gas industry.

Moody's also views the company's geographic focus on the rapidly
developing Russian and CIS markets, as well as the strategy to
diversify into European, Middle Eastern and Asian markets as a
credit positive for future cash flow potential.

The rating also reflects TMK's relatively sizeable debt
position, including indebtedness at the level of the
shareholder, following the planned increase of the majority
shareholder's stake under as yet undisclosed terms and
conditions.  The initial financing of this transaction will
proceed directly and indirectly via debt at TMK level as well as
at shareholder level.  It is Moody's assumption that the debt at
shareholder level will also have to be served via increased
dividend payments of TMK.

The rating further factors the company's uneven past performance
and short credit history -- TMK has existed in its current form
only since 2002-2003 -- as well as the weak liquidity structure
following the planned shareholder transaction with a sizeable
portion of initial indebtedness being short term.  The debt
structure and reduction in cash balances places a high
dependency on a successful bond issue and IPO, which is expected
later in 2006.

According to Moody's, credit positives include:

   -- TMK's strong market position for seamless and large
diameter welded pipes;

   -- the continued good industry environment for oil and gas
drilling and transmission pipes;

   -- TMK's diversified product profile, serving its quality
customer base including all Russian oil and gas majors;

   -- the implementation of a modernization program, which
includes efficiency gains and quality improvements;

   -- a solid revenue base associated with the production of
large-diameter pipes backed by multi-year contracts;

   -- a geographically advantageous location close to major
Russian oil and gas drilling areas and scrap abundant
territories; good access to sea ports;

   -- a strong management focus on profitability and operational
efficiency, including a clear business strategy; and

   -- relatively modest balance sheet leverage, even prior to
any potential IPO.

However, Moody's cautions that the company is exposed to:

   -- the inherently volatile oil and gas industry, and more
specifically, the drilling cycle which moves in
conjunction with commodity prices;

   -- a concentration of revenues, with one customer accounting
for nearly 25% of consolidated revenues;

   -- cost pressures associated with steel and scrap prices,
which can significantly impact margins despite robust
market conditions and ability to pass along higher steel
and scrap costs;

   -- a vulnerability associated with its reliance on third-
party supplies, especially suppliers of scrap;

   -- intense competition from other Russian producers and
imports, notably from Ukraine, in certain product
segments;

   -- the primary use of debt to finance the modernization
program and the share buy-back;

   -- the need to increase capacity to achieve organic growth;

   -- the potential appetite for international acquisitions;

   -- the concentration of ultimate control with one individual
holding control over the company via a Cyprus-based
company; and

   -- the challenging operating environment in Russia, which is
characterized by significant political legal, fiscal and
exchange rate risks.

Moody's positive outlook on the rating reflects the expectation
that proceeds from a potential IPO would be used to reduce
indebtedness and to free up liquidity for the ongoing
modernization projects, and that the results for the current
year will confirm the positive expectation for 2006 and 2007.

Moody's would consider a rating downgrade in the event that the
company substantially increased its indebtedness such that,
coupled with lower cash flows generated by the business, its
cash flow-to-debt metrics deteriorated significantly.

The rating of the loan participation notes has been notched down
to (P)B2 in light of the subordination to existing secured term
bank debt.  Carve-outs in the indenture also allow for
substantial additional indebtedness to potentially rank ahead of
the Notes (up to more than 10% of total assets, translating into
more than USD400 million of secured indebtedness).  Moody's
expects that the current subordination of 22% secured to
unsecured debt will remain above 20% going forward.

The loan participation notes are subject to various restrictions
and financial covenants, including a minimum debt/EBITDA ratio
of 3.5x and limitations regarding additional indebtedness.
Moreover, dividend payments are restricted subject to a basket
of 50% of net income and the possibility to incur USD1
additional debt under the debt/EBITDA ratio.

The proceeds of the notes will be on-lent to TMK's majority
shareholder and used to finance the planned increase of his 67%
stake in TMK.  Proceeds that the majority shareholder will
receive from the planned IPO will be used to repay his loan
received from TMK.  The company will subsequently use these
proceeds to finance its capital expenditure program.

The assigned ratings assume that there will be no material
variations to the draft legal documentation reviewed by Moody's
and that these agreements are legally valid, binding and
enforceable.

TMK is Russia's largest and one of the world's leading
manufacturers of value-added steel pipe products for the oil &
gas industry.  TMK has shipped more than 2.9 million metric tons
of pipe products in 2005 and generated revenues of US$2.9
billion.  Around 67% of OAO TMK is indirectly fully owned by Dr.
Dmitry Pumpyanskiy.

CONVERIUM FINANCE: A.M. Best Affirms Issuer Credit Rating at bb+
----------------------------------------------------------------
A.M. Best Co. affirmed the financial strength rating of B++ and
the issuer credit rating of bbb+ of Converium AG   and its main
subsidiaries.  The outlook for all ratings has been revised to
positive from stable.

A.M. Best also affirmed the ICR of bb+ of Converium Finance S.A.

The rating action reflects Converium's improving risk-adjusted
capitalization, increasing net income and recovering business
profile, as well as the election of several new directors to the
board and the appointment of new executive management team
members filling vacant positions, despite a remaining -- albeit
smaller -- potential for reserve deficiencies.

Improving risk-adjusted capitalization -- Converium's risk-
adjusted capitalization is expected to continue to improve over
the next two years due to its stronger net income, continued
moderate dividend policy and the placing of its North American
subsidiary into run-off in 2004.

A.M. Best believes that despite Converium's actions and the
large reduction in liabilities in North America due to the run-
off of CRNA, there is still potential for adverse reserve
development in the run-off business and the continuing
professional liability business.  However, the potential sale of
CRNA, according to Converium's 2006 stated intentions, is
expected to further support its capitalization.

Recovering business profile -- A.M. Best anticipates a
continuing improvement of Converium's business profile with
strong gross premium growth in 2007.  The growth stems mainly
from regaining property and casualty and, to a lesser extent,
specialty business generated from clients that were lost in
recent years following the downgrade of the company's rating.

Converium will continue to benefit from strong revenue streams
through its long-term relationships with the Medical Defense
Union and Global Aerospace Managers Limited.

Increasing net income -- A.M. Best expects Converium's net
income to continue to strongly improve in 2006 and 2007.
Converium continues to assume long-tail business with high
combined ratios resulting in continuing negative underwriting
results, which the group expects to be offset by investment
returns.

However, the combined ratio is expected to improve to
approximately 102% in 2007 from 108% in 2006 due to the combined
effect of strong underwriting returns from the regained
business, continuing favorable rate development in the non-life
market and significant scale effects.

Appointments to the senior management -- In 2006, Converium
appointed new members to its executive management team filling
all vacant positions and elected several new directors to the
board.  The appointments and the subsequent communication of the
strategic plans for Converium ended a period of uncertainty
regarding the future strategic direction of the group.

The FSR of B++ and the ICR of bbb+ have been affirmed and the
outlook has been revised to positive from stable for:

   -- Converium AG;
   -- Converium Rueckversicherung (Deutschland) AG; and
   -- Converium Insurance (U.K.) Limited.

The following debt rating of bbb- has been affirmed:

Converium Finance S.A.

   -- USD200 million 8.25% guaranteed subordinated notes, due
      December 2032.

ENRON CORP: District Court Denies Stay on Termination Fee Suits
---------------------------------------------------------------
The United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York denied a request by Luzenac America, Inc., and Public
Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County, Washington, to
dismiss or stay Enron Corp.'s adversary proceedings against
them.  

The District Court's ruling paves a way in Enron's efforts to
recover more than US$100,000,000 of contract termination
payments provided for in Enron's long-term power supply
contracts from both Luzenac and Snohomish.

The District Court also denied Luzenac's motion to transfer the
actions to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and granted
Enron Power Marketing, Inc.'s motion for a determination of the
continuing jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court, as opposed to
the FERC, over the adversary proceedings.

                    Constitutionality Issue

In their District Court request, Luzenac and Snohomish point out
that that EPMI did not seek rehearing of the FERC's conclusions
on the Cantwell Amendment, which is a statutory prerequisite to
judicial review, and thus failed to preserve its claims on the
scope and constitutionality of the Cantwell Amendment.  

The Defendants also argue that EPMI should appeal the actions to
the Court of Appeals rather than have two actions proceeding
simultaneously before a district court and a court of appeals.  
Moreover, they argue that FERC appeals are properly before the
appropriate Court of Appeals, as required by 16 USCS Section
825l(b) and not the District Court.

EPMI, on the other hand, notes that the FERC refused to decide
on the constitutionality issue of the Amendment and instead
specifically deferred to the District Court any decision on the
constitutionality issue.

In her ruling, District Court Judge Loretta A. Preska holds that
it is an Article III court, including a federal district court,
which should construe and decide on the constitutionality of the
Cantwell Amendment.  Determining the constitutionality of
legislation is not in the domain of an agency like the FERC, she
says.

The District Court notes that the Court of Appeals, in Greene
County Planning Bd. v. Federal Power Comm'n, 528 F.2d 38, 40 (2d
Cir. 1975), has held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear
an appeal by an order of the Federal Power Commission, the
predecessor agency of the FERC, when the FPC issues a ruling
that was not under the FPA.  The Court of Appeals asserts that
the district court would be the appropriate court to which to
appeal a FERC decision.

Therefore, the District Court finds that the Defendants'
arguments on the constitutionality issue of the Cantwell
Amendment and the jurisdictional issue of the FERC are without
merit.

Luzenac, in the alternative, seeks a transfer of the actions to
the FERC because a transfer would create a more complete record
with the FERC having ruled on its own jurisdiction under the
Cantwell Amendment and all rulings would then become appealable
to an appropriate Court of Appeals.  

Judge Preska, however, finds that transferring the actions to
the FERC will preclude a conflicting ruling from the District
Court and previous court rulings have already ruled that the
FERC does not have the authority to determine a district court's
jurisdiction.

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Enron Corporation filed for
chapter 11 protection on December 2, 2001 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case
No. 01-16033) following controversy over accounting procedures,
which caused Enron's stock price and credit rating to drop
sharply.  Judge Gonzalez confirmed the Company's Modified Fifth
Amended Plan on July 15, 2004, and numerous appeals followed.  
The Debtors' confirmed chapter 11 Plan took effect on Nov. 17,
2004.  Martin J. Bienenstock, Esq., and Brian S. Rosen, Esq., at

EUROTUNNEL GROUP: Creditors Contest Subsidiaries' Jurisdiction
--------------------------------------------------------------
Some of Eurotunnel Group's creditors filed objections in the
Paris Commercial Court contesting that the British Eurotunnel
subsidiaries are not under French jurisdiction.

The objections were lodged on Friday by creditors belonging in
different tiers of Eurotunnel's GBP6.18 billion debt.

"All the proposals we have seen so far are a long way from being
acceptable to us," a person familiar with the talks told
Reuters.

"The administrators and [Chairman and CEO Jacques] Gounon are
putting maximum pressure on us.  We're not going to be forced
into a bad deal just because the clock is ticking," the source
added.

Eurotunnel will meet its administrators on Sept. 13 in the hope
of presenting a deal to creditors by Oct. 15 or by Nov. 1 at the
latest.  

On Aug. 2, the court administrators sent out letters to
registered holders of bank debt informing them to their
appointment to a committee of bank debt holders.  This committee
will get to vote on Eurotunnel's restructuring plan, Dow Jones
Newswire reports.

Under the French legal proceedings, Eurotunnel creditors have
until Oct. 1 to file their claims with the court; administrators
have until Nov. 1 to present a restructuring proposal.

This plan would have to be circulated to bondholders by Nov. 15
and creditors would have 15 days to vote on it, the company
said.  According to Eurotunnel, the Paris Commercial Court
should give its decision at end of 2006, or at the latest, at
the beginning of 2007.  

"I am more than ever focused on defending the future of
Eurotunnel.  You may recall that I undertook to do my best to
bring about in early 2007 a definitive solution to the
uncertainties surrounding the future of Eurotunnel.  We should
be able to keep this deadline," Mr. Gounon disclosed in a
statement.

As previously reported, Eurotunnel obtained on Aug. 2 an order
placing the channel operator under the protection of the Court
pursuant to the new safeguard legislation (Procedure de
sauvegarde).

                     Restructuring Proposals

Eurotunnel had turned down, on June 27, a restructuring plan
prepared by a group of secured bondholders led by Deutsche Bank
AG asserting that it requires too much debt and gives too much
to bondholders.

The bondholders' restructuring plan, which values the company at
EUR7.99 billion, aimed to reduce 60% of total debt to EUR3.7
billion and issue a EUR2.175 billion convertible hybrid note
with a 4% coupon.

The plan rivaled the preliminary restructuring agreement backed
by Eurotunnel, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Macquarie Bank Ltd. and
Barclays PLC.  The plan dated May 23, valued the company at
around EUR7.03 billion and included a EUR1.5 billion hybrid
issue with a 6% to 9% coupon and would reduce debt by 54%.

Under the agreement, bondholders will get a GBP75 million return
for their GBP1.9 billion bond holdings.

On July 12, Eurotunnel presented an ultimate proposal to reach a
compromise between the May 23 preliminary restructuring
agreement and the demands made by its subordinated creditors
represented by ARCO.

The company claimed that the majority of these demands were
satisfied by the substantial efforts jointly made by the company
and the Ad Hoc Committee, which represents the group's senior
creditors.  The subordinated creditors, led by Deutsche Bank,
rejected this final attempt to reach a consensual deal.

The Joint Board of Eurotunnel unanimously decided to cancel the
General Meetings of Shareholders of Eurotunnel PLC and
Eurotunnel SA, planned for July 27.

Absent a final agreement, the Group may default in January 2007
under a 1998 debt agreement.

                      About the Company

Headquartered in Folkestone, United Kingdom and Calais, France,
Eurotunnel Group -- http://www.eurotunnel.co.uk/-- operates a  
fleet of 25 shuttle trains, which carry cars, coaches and
trucks.  It manages the infrastructure of the Channel Tunnel and
receives toll revenues from train operating companies whose
trains pass through the Tunnel.

The British and French governments have granted Eurotunnel a
concession to operate the Channel Tunnel until 2086.

                       Company Crisis

Eurotunnel's crisis began when costs to build the tunnels that
connect U.K. and France started to overrun before it opened in
1994.  The Iraq war followed, which didn't help as tourist
traffic fell.  In May 2004, Eurotunnel appointed Lazard (global
coordinator) and Lehman Brothers as bank advisors, and Dresdner
Kleinwort Wasserstein as restructuring adviser.

In July 2004, auditor KPMG Audit Plc said the company faced
uncertainty after 2005.  The firm's survival is dependent upon
its ability to put in place a refinancing plan or, if not, to
obtain an agreement with the lenders under the existing Credit
Agreement within the next two years, the auditor said.

INTELSAT CORP: Moody's Assigns B2 Rating to Proposed Term Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 rating to Intelsat
Corporation' (formerly PanAmSat Corp.) proposed senior unsecured
term loan, the proceeds of which will be used to fund the
repurchase of the existing 9% senior notes at Intelsat
Corporation, that are subject to a mandatory change of control
offer triggered by the acquisition of PanAmSat by Intelsat.

If the change of control offer is fully accepted, Moody's will
withdraw the ratings on the existing 9% senior notes, due 2014.
Moody's views the new term loan as a dollar for dollar
replacement of the existing notes, with minimal impact on
leverage or cash flow.  In addition, Moody's has affirmed all
existing ratings.  The outlook remains stable.

Ratings actions:

* Intelsat Corporation

   -- Proposed Sr. Unsecured Term Loan, due 2014, assigned B2;

   -- 9% senior notes, due 2014, affirmed B2 to be withdrawn
if the change of control offer is fully accepted;

   -- Guaranteed Sr. Secured Revolver, due 2012, affirmed B1;

   -- Guaranteed Sr. Secured Loan A, affirmed B1;

   -- Guaranteed Sr. Secured Loan B, affirmed B1;

   -- 6.375% senior secured notes, due 2008, affirmed B1;

   -- 6.875% senior secured debentures, due 2028, affirmed B1;
and

   -- 9% senior notes, due 2016, affirmed B2.

* Intelsat Ltd.

   -- Corporate family rating, affirmed B2;

   -- SGL Rating, affirmed SGL-2;

   -- 5.25% Global notes, due 2008, affirmed Caa2;

   -- 7.625% Sr. Notes, due 2012, affirmed Caa2; and

   -- 6.5% Global Notes, due 2013, affirmed Caa2.

* Intelsat (Bermuda) Ltd.

   -- 9.25% Guaranteed Sr. Notes, affirmed B2;
   -- Floating Rate Sr. Notes, affirmed Caa1; and
   -- 11.25% Sr. Notes, affirmed Caa1.

* Intelsat Intermediate Holding Company Ltd.

   -- Sr. Discount Notes, due 2015, affirmed Caa1

* Intelsat Subsidiary Holding Company Ltd.

   -- Guaranteed Sr. Secured Revolver, due 2012, affirmed B1;
   -- Guaranteed Sr. Secured T/L B, due 2013, affirmed B1;
   -- Sr. Floating Rate Notes, due 2012, affirmed B2;
   -- 8.25% Sr. Notes, due 2013, affirmed B2; and
   -- 8.625% Sr. Notes, due 2015, affirmed B2.

The outlook is stable.

Intelsat, headquartered in Bermuda, is the largest fixed
satellite service operator in the world and is owned by Apollo
Management, Apax Partners, Madison Dearborn, and Permira.
  

INTELSAT CORP: S&P Rates US$667-Mln Sr. Credit Facility at B
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services said today it assigned a 'B'
rating to Intelsat Corp.'s US$667 million senior unsecured
credit facility.  

Proceeds from the loan will be used to purchase up to US$657
million of Intelsat Corp.'s (formerly PanAmSat Corp.'s) 9%
senior unsecured notes due in 2014 to the extent that they are
put to the company because of a change of control provision
triggered by parent Intelsat Ltd.'s July 2006 purchase of
PanAmSat.
     
The rating on the new credit facility, which matures in 2014, is
two notches below the corporate credit rating, reflecting the
significant amount of secured debt in the capital structure.
All other ratings for Intelsat Ltd. (Intelsat) and Intelsat
Corp. and related entities are affirmed.  Affirmations include
the 'BB-' corporate credit ratings for Intelsat Ltd. and
Intelsat Corp.  The outlook for both entities is stable.
     
Intelsat is the largest global satellite services provider,
ranking ahead of SES Global S.A. in terms of revenue.
Consolidated debt for Intelsat totaled about US$11.4 billion as
of June 30, 2006, pro forma for the acquisition of PanAmSat.
      
"The ratings on Intelsat primarily reflect high financial risk
from acquisition-related debt and a demonstrated shareholder-
oriented financial policy," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Susan Madison.

Although the company has indicated it will refrain from
shareholder distributions for one year following the PanAmSat
transaction, (absent an initial public offering), the company's
historical financial policy suggests that it may make
substantial shareholder distributions over the medium term.

Other concerns include:

   -- mature industry growth prospects,

   -- declining demand for point-to-point satellite
applications, and

   -- modest risk of satellite failure.
     
Tempering factors include:

   -- good cash flow predictability from a substantial combined
US$8.2 billion backlog of future revenue derived from
long-term contracts (as of June 30, 2006);

   -- limited competition because of high barriers to entry and
orbital slot scarcity;

   -- the essential nature of satellite services for point-to-
multipoint applications;

   -- strong EBITDA margins and discretionary cash flow from low
variable costs; and

   -- fixed-cost and capital expenditure saving opportunities
from combining Intelsat and PanAmSat.

  
IPC ACQUISITION: Acquisition Spurs S&P to Affirm B+ Rating  
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B+' corporate
credit rating on New York, N.Y.-based IPC Acquisition Corp.  The
ratings were removed from CreditWatch with negative
implications, where they were placed on Aug. 2, following the
announcement that Silver Lake Partners would acquire IPC from
its existing owner, GS Capital Partners, for approximately
US$800 million.

At the same time, Standard & Poor's assigned its 'B+' rating,
with a '2' recovery rating, to the company's proposed US$465
million first-lien senior secured bank facility, which will
consist of a US$50 million revolver due 2012 and a US$415
million term loan due 2013.

Standard & Poor's also assigned its 'B-' rating, with a '5'
recovery rating, to the company's proposed US$170 million
second-lien senior secured term loan, due 2014.  The ratings
outlook is negative.
     
The first-lien bank loan rating, which is the same as the
corporate credit rating, along with the '2' recovery rating,
reflect our expectation of substantial (80%-100%) recovery of
principal by creditors in the event of a payment default.  

The second-lien bank loan rating, which is two notches below the
corporate credit rating, along with the '5' recovery rating,
reflect our expectation of negligible (0%-25%) recovery of
principal by creditors in the event of a payment default, given
their priority in the capital structure.  

Proceeds from the facilities, along with approximately US$253
million of equity, will be used to fund the acquisition of IPC
by Silver Lake Partners.
     
"The ratings affirmation reflects our expectation that IPC's
strong and growing backlog will continue to drive increased
levels of EBITDA and improved financial leverage from current
levels in the mid-to-high 6x range," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Ben Bubeck.

The negative outlook, however, reflects IPC's heightened
leverage position following the proposed transaction.

------------------------------------------------------------
Swisscom, Switzerland's leading telecommunications company, has

"With Business VoIP Services, Swisscom is strengthening its core
business with convergent service offerings and driving growth in
the area of business customer solutions," said Urs Schaeppi, CEO
Swisscom Solutions.  "Demand for interactive services is
increasing and anywhere, anytime communications must be
guaranteed.  We chose the Nortel carrier VoIP and multimedia
solution because it helped us deliver the broadest suite of VoIP
Business Services with high levels of service reliability and

A clear evolution path that provides IMS-ready elements for
secure services running across both Internet and mobile networks
and supports a full range of multimedia capabilities were also
deciding factors in Swisscom's selection of a Nortel solution.

voice and data communications now," said Thomas Marfurt,
managing director, Nortel Switzerland.  "We're also providing

geographic redundant Nortel carrier VoIP solution, ensuring the

NORTEL NETWORKS: Outlines Three Key Areas for Market Expansion
--------------------------------------------------------------
Nortel Networks Corp has outlined three of the key areas that
the Company will focus on to make its promise of "Business Made
Simple" a reality, and disclosed a series of contract wins
demonstrating momentum in the European market.

At a press conference in London, Nortel President and Chief
Executive Officer, Mike Zafirovski, outlined that mobility and
convergence, enterprise transformation and services and
solutions will form the heart of Nortel's business.

"In the broadest sense of the term, mobility is about freedom
and possibility.  By leveraging our strength in Metro Ethernet,
CDMA and our renewed investment in 4G wireless, we will drive
simple and effective convergence," said Zafirovski.

"The bandwidth glut left by the Internet bubble bursting has
disappeared and we clearly see the opportunity for next
generation optical and backbone transport networks.  We aim to
capture the video explosion and, with IMS, ensure next-
generation convergence services become a reality at an
affordable price point."

"Customers want to see their business applications integrated
with their telephony systems and this lies at the heart of our
Enterprise Transformation.  We will create a powerful ecosystem
of disruptive partnerships and -- coupled with strong go-to-
market capabilities -- will re-invent voice and further blur the
lines between IT and telephony."

"Expanding Nortel's Services capability is an integral part of
our future.  We will also expand our reusable solutions
offerings to deliver powerful bundles and integration
capabilities -- freeing customers to integrate and manage as
much or as little of their network as they want," said
Zafirovski.

Nortel's new Europe, Middle East and Africa regional president,
Darryl Edwards, used the event to reveal a number of new
customers demonstrating European market momentum in these areas:

NORTEL NETWORKS: Supplies Golden Telecom's Optical Network
----------------------------------------------------------
Golden Telecom, a leading telecommunications operator in Russia,
plans to extend secure, affordable voice and broadband Internet
services across Russia using a next-generation optical network
from Nortel Networks Corp.  Nortel has already delivered
equipment and services for the network's first stage and when
completed, the network will extend into the east of Russia.

Nortel has had a long-term strategic relationship with Golden
Telecom since 1993 when a Nortel optical solution was put into
operation for Golden Telecom in Moscow.  Since then, Nortel has
continuously supported the Golden Telecom optical network,
ensuring that it is ready to efficiently handle growth in
network traffic and deliver the latest communications services
including secure, affordable, voice and broadband Internet
services.

Golden Telecom's next-generation optical network will provide
transport networking for both TDM and Ethernet traffic and
support a wide variety of links between 2.5 Gbps and 10 Gbps
capacities. This solution also prepares the Golden Telecom
transport network for significant traffic growth in the future,
providing a cost-effective upgrade path to 40 Gbps capacity when
required.

"We chose a Nortel multiservice optical platform because it
combined broad functionality, flexibility and scalability with
compliance to global industry standards at a competitive price,"
said Alexey Goryachkin, vice president and chief technical
officer, Golden Telecom.  "We expect these features to help us
deliver services, such as broadband Internet access and voice
services, to a greater number of subscribers across Russia."

"As well as enabling Golden Telecom to offer service more widely
across Russia, the fiber optic backbone will also be able to
handle next-generation IMS-based bandwidth-hungry applications
such as IPTV, as demand for these services grows," said Sorin
Lupu, president Eastern Europe, Nortel.

Golden Telecom's wholly-owned nationwide fiber optic backbone
network will significantly increase geographic coverage and is
expected to attract new subscribers from the regional population
of the Russian Federation which is estimated at 63 million users
and is approximately 45% of Russia's entire population.

Golden Telecom plans to use its fiber optic backbone to create
an effective transition-path to DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division
Multiplexing) technology that will deliver network efficiencies
such as real-time data back up, maximized server efficiency, and
fast access to data recovery services for emergency situations.
To date, in the first stage of the project, Golden Telecom
deployed the Nortel Optical Multiservice Edge 6500 platform to
provide the necessary flexibility and optimal transition path to
DWDM technology.

VOSS NET: Board Gives Conditional Nod on Tanzania Share Purchase
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of Voss Net plc conditionally agreed to
acquire the entire issued share capital of Tanzania Gold
Limited, which has an interest in the Mkurumu Gold Project in
Tanzania, through the issue of 9,000,000 New Ordinary Shares.  

The placement values Tanzania Gold at approximately GBP4.5
million at the Placing Price and approximately GBP6.75 million
based on the closing middle market price of 75 pence (as
adjusted for the share consolidation) per New Ordinary Share on

announcement by the Company on May 18 confirming that the
Company was in discussions with respect to an acquisition which
would constitute a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules, the
Existing Ordinary Shares were suspended from trading on AIM.  
The trade suspension has been lifted following this
announcement.

to create tangible shareholder value through the discovery and
exploitation of gold projects and assets situated in Tanzania
and which owns an interest in a property forming a block of
approximately 43.39 square kilometers situated in Mkurumu, 125
kilometres to the south-west of Dodoma, Tanzania which is an
area of current artisanal gold mining.

                     Working Capital Funding

In order to provide funding for the ongoing working capital
requirements of the Enlarged Group, Voss Net proposes to raise
approximately GBP2.44 million before expenses through the
placing of 4,872,500 New Ordinary Shares with institutional and
other investors at the Placing Price.  Strand Partners has
conditionally agreed to use its reasonable endeavors to procure
placees for all of the Placing Shares.

In view of the size and nature of the Acquisition and the fact
that one of the sellers, Hereford Group Limited, owns the entire
issued share capital of Zaika (an existing substantial
shareholder in Voss Net), the acquisition constitutes both a
reverse takeover of the Company and a related party transaction
under the AIM Rules.

Accordingly, the proposals are conditional, inter alia, on the
approval of both Shareholders and Independent Shareholders, such
approval to be sought at the EGM.  Following completion, the
sellers, Zaika and Finscan Investments (an existing minority
shareholder in Voss Net) will, together, be the beneficial
owners of, in aggregate, 11,637,401 New Ordinary Shares,
representing approximately 48.44 percent of the Enlarged Share
Capital.  Independent Shareholders will therefore
be asked to vote on the Waiver Resolution to approve a waiver by
the Panel of any obligation on the part of the Sellers, Zaika or
Finscan Investments to make a general offer to Shareholders
under Rule 9 of the City Code arising from the issue to the
Sellers of the Acquisition Shares pursuant to the Acquisition
Agreement.

If the Resolutions are duly passed at the EGM, the Company's
existing trading facility on AIM will be cancelled and the
Company will apply for the Enlarged Share Capital to be re-
admitted to trading on AIM.  If the Resolutions are passed, it
is expected that Admission will take place and that dealings in
the shares comprising the Enlarged Share Capital will commence
on Sept. 29, 2006.

Following completion, the existing management team of Tanzania
Gold, together with the other Proposed Directors, will assume
responsibility for the Enlarged Group, including all of Voss
Net's and Tanzania Gold's assets, and all of Tanzania Gold's
existing shareholders will exchange their Tanzania Gold Shares
for New Ordinary Shares.

                    Investment Strategy

The Company's investment strategy, approved by Shareholders at
the annual general meeting held on May 22, 2006, is to acquire
the shares or assets of an early stage company within the mining
sector.  Suitable potential targets would operate outside the
United Kingdom and would preferably be based in Africa to enable
the Company to capitalize on the executive directors'
considerable direct experience in the African mining community
and their contacts within the industry.

                     Insolvency Warning

The Board believes that the combination of the acquisition and
the placement is an essential step towards restoring the company
to a secure financial position.  If these do not proceed, the
company warns that it would need to attempt to raise further
funds or seek alternative methods of financing on account of the
fact that it will have incurred expenses amounting to
approximately GBP365,000 in pursuit of the Acquisition and would
not have sufficient working capital for its present
requirements, that is for at least the next twelve months from
the date of this announcement.  If such funds could not be
raised or alternative methods of financing secured, the Board
would have to urgently consider alternative courses of action,
such as the initiation of insolvency procedures, in which event
the Company would be delisted from trading on AIM.

                     Board of Directors

The Board will be strengthened through the appointment of Clive
Sinclair-Poulton, Mark Burchnall, Tony Hopkins and Melissa
Sturgess, conditional upon completion of the transaction.

Under the terms of the agreement, Voss Net will change its name
to 'Tanzania Gold plc'.

Strand Partners Limited, which is authorized and regulated in
the United Kingdom by the Financial Services Authority, is
acting as nominated adviser and broker to the Company in
connection with the acquisition, placing and proposed admission
of the Enlarged Share Capital to trading on AIM.  

Headquartered in England, Voss Net plc develops and markets a
generic electronic system for the exchange and sale of
purchasing information, and communication consultancy and
hardware sales.

* Moody's Keeps Reinsurers' Stable Rating Outlook Despite Losses
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has maintained its stable rating
outlook on the global reinsurance industry, despite record
losses from the windstorms of 2005.  The rating outlook
incorporates a number of recapitalizations following the storms
as well as steps taken by several reinsurers to reduce their
catastrophe exposures.

Moody's noted that most reinsurers have sound balance sheets and
good earnings momentum (absent catastrophes).  These strengths
are tempered by:

   -- the inherent volatility of catastrophe related business,

   -- the current pricing pressure on casualty lines of
business, and

   -- the ease with which capital enters the market.

Moody's explains its outlook and provides comparative financial
information on leading reinsurers in its Global Reinsurance
Industry Outlook, dated September 2006.

"The vast majority of our reinsurance company outlooks are
stable, which drives the industry outlook," said Bruce
Ballentine, a Moody's insurance analyst and author of the
industry report.

"We have examined all reinsurance company ratings in light of
the 2005 storms, but to date just two Bermuda-based companies
have been downgraded primarily as a result of the storms and
related risk management concerns," added Ballentine.

Moody's noted that the hard market for catastrophe risk has
attracted large amounts of fresh capital to the industry, with
investors pouring some US$27 billion into equity, debt and
hybrid securities issued by existing and start-up reinsurers and
through alternative market structures.

The most popular alternative structures have been sidecars,
which assume risks from one or a small number of reinsurers for
a limited time, and catastrophe bonds, which offer repayment
relief to issuers upon certain trigger events.  The rating
agency noted that hedge funds and private equity funds, eager to
diversify away from traditional investment risks, have played a
prominent role in funding the new entities and structures.

Reinsurance market conditions vary sharply across business
lines, said Moody's.  Whereas catastrophe coverage is costly and
scarce, casualty lines are subject to persistent competition and
downward pressure on rates.  Moody's expects many reinsurers to
continue to seek casualty business to offset their more volatile
catastrophe exposures.

The report shows that reinsurers' reserves for U.S. casualty
business, which were sorely deficient through the soft-market
years of 1997-2001, have been strengthened considerably in
subsequent years.  Nevertheless, asbestos, environmental and
other latent claims remain a challenge.

Moody's noted that reinsurers are generally becoming more
disciplined in their underwriting and their overall risk
management, applying lessons learned from the soft-market years
and the more recent natural catastrophes.  The rating agency
expects boards of directors and high-level risk committees to
play an increasingly prominent role in the oversight of risk
management.

Other themes addressed in the report include:

   -- the extension of the U.S. Terrorism Risk Insurance Act and    
its implications for reinsurers;

   -- a continuation of modest investment returns, which Moody's
views as a plus for underwriting discipline; and

   -- the ongoing regulatory investigations into finite
reinsurance.

The report also discusses region-specific trends in North
America, Bermuda, Europe and Asia.

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
