CB MEZZCAP: Bankruptcy Filing Cues S&P to Put Ratings on Watch
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed on CreditWatch with
negative implications its ratings on the class C, D, and E notes
issued by CB MezzCAP Limited Partnership, a German SME CLO
transaction.  The class A and B notes are unaffected at this
time.

The CreditWatch placement follows the announcement on March 12
by Erich Rohde KG, one of the SMEs in the underlying portfolio
to which the issuer made cash advances, that it is filing for
bankruptcy.  Erich Rhode KG is a German shoe manufactory based
in Schwalmstadt-Ziegenhain.  The company employs approximately
2,000 employees.

"We consider that the likelihood of default for Erich Rohde KG
is significant, which could have a considerable impact on the
level of losses incurred by the issuer under its participation
right," said credit analyst Viktor Milev.  "Erich Rohde KG had
issued a EUR15 million profit participation right to CB MezzCAP
and is the largest asset in the transaction.  The current
portfolio share is 7.92%."

Mr. Milev added: "We will carry out a full analysis of the
implications of the bankruptcy filing to assess whether
potential losses exceed our initial expectations.  We will keep
in close contact with the financial adviser and transaction
monitor to fully assess potential recoveries.  This analysis and
our expectation of future losses to be incurred will govern
whether the ratings on the notes placed on CreditWatch will be
lowered."

CB MezzCAP has previously suffered a default on the entity Nici
AG.  The loss was cured through excess spread and through the
recovery benefit gained from the sale of the Nici AG asset.

DAIMLERCHRYSLER AG: Investors Want "Chrysler" Dropped from Name
---------------------------------------------------------------
DaimlerChrysler AG shareholders have recommended that the
company remove "Chrysler" from its name and revert to its old
moniker -- Daimler-Benz AG -- and reincorporate under new
European guidelines, Bloomberg News reports.

"Maintaining a corporate name that evokes associations with the
failure of the business combination with Chrysler is detrimental
to the image of the corporation and its products," shareholders
Ekkehard Wenger and Leonhard Knoll wrote in an amendment to the
agenda for the April 4 annual meeting published on the company's
Web site.

The shareholders' motion has heightened the tension between them
and the board following DaimlerChrysler CEO Dieter Zetsche's
Feb. 14 announcement that "all options are on the table" for
Chrysler, including a possible sale.  Investors have been
demanding for Chrysler's disposal since DaimlerChrysler's
inception in 1998, Bloomberg states.

In response to the motion, the company's management board said
on its Web site: "The DaimlerChrysler name is established all
over the world.  There are no grounds to change the name of the
corporation."

                      About DaimlerChrysler

Headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, DaimlerChrysler AG --
http://www.daimlerchrysler.com/-- develops, manufactures,
distributes, and sells various automotive products, primarily
passenger cars, light trucks, and commercial vehicles worldwide.
It primarily operates in four segments: Mercedes Car Group,
Chrysler Group, Commercial Vehicles, and Financial Services.

The company's worldwide operations are located in Canada,
Mexico, United States, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, China,
India, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Australia.

The Chrysler Group segment offers cars and minivans, pick-up
trucks, sport utility vehicles, and vans under the Chrysler,
Jeep, and Dodge brand names.  It also sells parts and
accessories under the MOPAR brand.

The Chrysler Group is facing a difficult market environment in
the United States with excess inventory, non-competitive legacy
costs for employees and retirees, continuing high fuel prices
and a stronger shift in demand toward smaller vehicles.  At the
same time, key competitors have further increased margin and
volume pressures -- particularly on light trucks -- by making
significant price concessions.  In addition, increased interest
rates caused higher sales & marketing expenses.

In order to improve the earnings situation of the Chrysler Group
as quickly and comprehensively, measures to increase sales and
cut costs in the short term are being examined at all stages of
the value chain, in addition to structural changes being
reviewed as well.


DAIMLERCHRYSLER AG: UAW President Prefers Chrysler With Carmaker
----------------------------------------------------------------
United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger said
DaimlerChrysler AG' Chrysler Group should remain in the family,
various news agencies report.

"I've been around the process long enough to know that I'm not
ready to concede that the Chrysler Group is going to come out of
DaimlerChrysler," Mr. Gettelfinger told radio station WJR-AM in
Detroit in an interview.

According to reports, Mr. Gettelfinger added that he hopes that
if ever Chrysler will be sold, it will be to a car company.

Mr. Gettelfinger is a member of DaimlerChrysler's supervisory
board.  He will represent the UAW in negotiating labor contracts
with Chrysler Group, General Motors Corp, and Ford Motor Co.

TOWER AUTOMOTIVE: Files Amended General Motors Pact Under Seal
--------------------------------------------------------------
At the behest of Tower Automotive Inc. and its debtor-
affiliates, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of New York authorizes the Debtors to file their amended
agreement with General Motors Corp. and related exhibits under
seal.

All contents of the request and exhibit remain confidential, and
will not be available to the general public or any parties-in-
interest in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases except upon the
express written consent of the parties.

The Debtors and General Motors previously settled, on a global
basis, all prepetition claims between them relating to the
Debtors' North American operations.  To effectuate that
settlement, the parties entered into a First Amended and
Restated Accommodation and Settlement Agreement, and four new
component supply agreements.

Howard P. Magaliff, Esq., at Togut, Segal & Segal LLP, in New
York, relates that the Accommodation and Supply Agreements were
filed under seal because they contain detailed information about
the relationship between GM and Tower Automotive, Inc., and
specific references to confidential information, including
pricing and related terms negotiated by the Debtors and GM.

Mr. Magaliff notes that the Debtors and GM have now reached an
agreement to resolve one last dispute arising under the
Accommodation Agreement, in connection with a vendor whose goods
were used by the Debtors to produce modules for GM at Tower's
former Lansing, Michigan, facility.

The present Agreement, as with the prior ones, requires the
parties to keep its terms confidential since the documents
contain classified information about the relationship between GM
and the Debtors, and specific references to confidential
information from the Accommodation Agreement, Mr. Magaliff says.
He adds that the Agreement will become effective after a final
Court ruling has been entered.

Mr. Magaliff submits that filing the request under seal is
warranted because, among other things, access to information
contained in the request would give the Debtors' competitors an
unfair advantage, and undermine the parties' ability to
successfully negotiate with other customers and suppliers about
similar issues.

TOWER AUTOMOTIVE: Stutman Treister as Panel Conflicts Counsel
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Honorable Allen L. Gropper of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of New York authorizes the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in Tower Automotive
Inc. and its debtor-affiliates' chapter 11 cases to retain
Stutman, Treister & Glatt, P.C., as its special conflicts
counsel, nunc pro tunc to Oct. 26, 2006.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 8, 2007,
due to the conflict that Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, LLP,
the Creditors Committee's bankruptcy counsel, had in the
adversary proceeding between Tower Automotive Mexico and Grupo
Proeza, S.A. DE C.V., Stutman Treister provided services to the
Committee in connection with the Proeza Litigation, immediately
upon the Committee's request in October 2006.

Although the Proeza Litigation will soon be dismissed, the
Creditors Committee had requested that Stutman Treister continue
to serve as conflicts counsel.

Specifically, Stutman Treister's services will include assisting
the Creditors Committee in potential plan confirmation disputes
where Akin Gump possesses an actual or potential conflict of
interest.

Stutman Treister's employment does not include appearances
before any court or agency other than the Bankruptcy Court or
the provision of advice on international taxation issues,
securities, torts, environmental, labor, or criminal law.
Stutman Treister represents only the Creditors Committee, not
its individual members.

Stutman Treister will be paid for its services in accordance
with its hourly rates for professionals and paraprofessionals:

   Billing Category           Hourly Rate
   ----------------           -----------
   Shareholders               US$450 - US$775
   Of Counsel                 US$395 - US$750
   Associates                 US$250 - US$385

   Paralegals                    US$190
   Law Clerks                 US$160 - US$215

responsibility for providing services to the Committee are:

   Professional               Hourly Rate
   ------------               -----------
   Jeffrey C. Krause, Esq.    US$640 - US$675
   Eric D. Goldberg, Esq.     US$550 - US$575
   Gregory K. Jones, Esq.     US$395 - US$425

Jeffrey C. Krause, Esq., a member at Stutman Treister, assured
the Court that his firm and all of its attorneys are
disinterested persons who do not hold or represent an interest
adverse to the Debtors' estates and do not have any connection
with the Debtors, their creditors, the Committee, or any other
parties-in-interest in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases.

Mr. Krause disclosed that his firm represented certain members
of the Creditors Committee and some creditors in discrete
matters entirely unrelated to the Debtors or the Debtors'
Chapter 11 cases.  In addition, Mr. Krause said he was
previously a partner of Akin Gump for a little more than two
years -- he resigned from Akin Gump effective Dec. 31, 2001.
Gregory K. Jones was previously employed by Akin Gump between
January 2000 and March 2002.

GLASTONBURY FINANCE: Fitch Rates GBP14-Million Notes at Low-B
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch assigned expected ratings to Glastonbury Finance 2007-1
P.L.C.'s upcoming issue of GBP355.65 million floating-rate notes
due 2047.  Here is the expected capital structure of this
transaction:

   -- GBP5.65 million Class X senior secured notes: 'AAA'

   -- GBP205 million Class A-1 senior secured notes: 'AAA'

   -- GBP33 million Class A-2 senior secured notes: 'AAA'

   -- GBP32 million Class B senior secured deferrable notes:
      'AA'

   -- GBP31 million Class C senior secured deferrable notes: 'A'

   -- GBP16 million Class D senior secured deferrable notes:
      'BBB'

   -- GBP10 million Class E senior secured deferrable notes:
      'BB'

   -- GBP4 million Class F senior secured deferrable notes:
      'BB-'

The final ratings are contingent on the receipt of final
documents conforming to information already received.

The transaction is a managed cash arbitrage securitization of
commercial mortgage-backed securities. The structure
incorporates a Class A-1 variable funding note which may be
drawn in either pound sterling or euro.  The remaining notes are
solely denominated in British pound sterling.  It is anticipated
that 100% of the target portfolio will be purchased at closing
from the issuance of the notes.

The expected ratings of the class B, C, D, E and F notes address
the ultimate payment of interest and principal at maturity.  For
the class X, A-1 and A-2 notes, for which a deferral of interest
constitutes an event of default, the ratings address the timely
payment of interest and ultimate payment of principal.

The expected ratings are based on the quality and diversity of
the portfolio of assets, which are selected by the collateral
manager, Eurohypo Asset Management Limited, subject to the
guidelines outlined in the collateral management agreement.

The expected ratings are also based on the credit enhancement
provided to the various Classes of notes, which consists of the
subordinated notes, structural protection covenants and excess
spread.  Credit enhancement for the class A-1 notes in the form
of collateralized subordination totals 41.4%, and is provided by
the class A-2 notes 9.4%, the class B notes 9.1%, the class C
notes 8.9%, the class D notes 4.6%, the Class E notes 2.9%, the
Class F notes 1.1% and the subordinated notes 5.4%.  Certain
upfront expenses will be amortized over the first eight years of
the transaction through the mechanism of the class X notes.

DANA CORP: Retirees Panel Balks at Unilateral Termination Motion
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Non-Union Retirees of Dana Corp. and
its debtor-affiliates asks the Honorable Burton R. Lifland of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
to deny the Unilateral Termination Motion.

As previously reported, the Debtors have asserted that the non-
union pension benefits are not "vested" and are subject to
termination on contractual grounds and under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1977.

The Official Committee of Non-Union Retirees argues that the
totality of information the Debtors provided to the non-union
retirees mandates a finding that the non-union pension benefits
are vested under Second Circuit law.

The Debtors relied on incomplete and misleading documents and
ignored applicable Summary Plan Descriptions and the historical
changes of the applicable pension plans at issue and other
written materials routinely provided to their employees, the
Retirees Committee contends.

Trent P. Cornell, Esq., at Stahl Cowen Crowley, LLC, in Chicago
asserts that the Debtors' non-union retirees fall into
one of the three Pension Plans and all have vested benefits.

As a general rule, retiree welfare plans are not presumed to
vest, Mr. Cornell concedes.  The Second Circuit, however, has
repeatedly held that welfare plans are in fact vested when
promised by or offered as lifetime benefits by an employer.

The Second Circuit also held that welfare benefits are deemed
"vested" when there is writing reflecting the intent, Mr.
Cornell notes.  In In re Schonholz v. Long Island Jewish Medical
Center, 87 F.3d 72, 77 (2nd Cir. 1996), the standard with
respect to writings required to establish vesting is that a
retiree or employee merely "point to written language capable of
reasonably being interpreted as creating a promise to . . . vest
. . . benefits."

Mr. Cornell informs the Court that since 1983, the Debtors have
modified their non-union retirees' pension benefits and inserted
unilateral termination languages on the benefit plans.  The
Debtors have also sent letters and memos to non-union employees
that their pension benefits are company expenses, Mr. Cornell
adds.

The modifications of the benefit plans over the years have
resulted to many separate claims asserted by the retirees
against the Debtors under ERISA, Mr. Cornell says.

The Retirees Committee asserts that the proper standard to use
in the Debtors' Unilateral Termination Motion is Section 1114 of
the Bankruptcy Code and not Section 363.

Section 1114 prohibits a debtor from terminating or modifying
any retiree benefits during a Chapter 11 case unless the debtor
complies with the procedures and requirements of the Section,
regardless of whether the debtor has the contracted right to
unilaterally terminate the benefits, Mr. Cornell relates.  In
addition, Section 1114 contains no carve outs or any exceptions
for situations where a debtor has an asserted "contractual" or
ERISA-based right to unilaterally terminate benefits.

A finding that the non-union benefits plans are vested does not
prohibit the Debtors from modifying the plans, Mr. Cornell
maintains.  A finding of vesting, however, will directly affect
the unsecured claim the Retirees will have if the Plans are
modified under Section 1114.  Under Section 1114, the Retirees
can assert an unsecured claim amount equal to any reduction of
their benefits.

            Creditors Committee, et al. Support Debtors

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and an ad hoc
committee of Dana Corporation noteholders support the Debtors'
Unilateral Termination Motion to the extent that it does not
result to the existence of a dilutive rejection damages claim
from the non-union retirees.

The Committees point out that if the non-union pension benefits
are terminated, the Debtors' estates will save more than
US$35,000,000 in 2007 alone.

The Creditors Committee asserts that to the extent the Court
determines that the Debtors have the unilateral right to
terminate the non-union pension benefits, no rejection damages
claim can result.

On behalf of the Creditors Committee, Thomas Moers Mayer, Esq.,
at Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel, LLP, in New York, notes that
the Bankruptcy Code does not provide the non-union retirees with
a claim for damages they would not have been entitled to outside
of bankruptcy.

                         Debtors Talk Back

Corinne Ball, Esq., at Jones Day, in New York, argues that the
Debtors have met their burden under Section 363 based on the
significant savings to the estates from the termination of the
non-pension retiree benefits.

Ms. Ball tells the Court that the Retirees Committee has not
pointed to any affirmative language in the relevant plan
documents that demonstrates a promise to provide benefits for
the life of a beneficiary -- a showing that is necessary to
establish "vesting" in the Second Circuit.

The Debtors maintain that application of the proper legal
standard demonstrates that the non-pension retiree benefits of
non-union retirees and active employees are not "vested."

The Retirees Committee mischaracterized the legal standard for
determining whether the welfare benefits vest, Ms. Ball says.
The quoted language from In re Schonholz addresses the standard
for surviving summary judgment, not for prevailing on the merits
of a vesting claim.  Thus, when an employee points to language
"capable of reasonably being interpreted" as promising vested
benefits, he is merely entitled to present his case to a trier
of
fact.  To prevail on a vesting claim, according to Ms. Ball, the
employee must prove to the trier of fact by a preponderance of
the evidence that the employer intended the benefits to vest.

Ms. Ball relates that a claim with respect to lost welfare
benefits is preempted by ERISA.  Under Section 1132(a)(1)(B) of
ERISA, an ERISA plan participant or beneficiary may bring a
civil action to recover benefits, enforce rights or clarify
rights within an applicable statute of limitations.  Because
"ERISA does not prescribe a limitations period for actions under
Section, the controlling limitations period is that specified in
the most nearly analogous state limitations statute." Miles v.
New York State Teamsters Conference Pension and Retirement Fund
Employee Pension Benefit Plan, 698 F.2d 593, 598 (2d
Cir.)(citation omitted), cert. denied, 464 U.S. 829(1983).

In the Second Circuit, an ERISA claim accrues on a clear
repudiation by the plan that is known, or should be known, to
the plaintiff, Ms. Ball adds.

The Retirees Committee has conceded that since 1983, various
substantial modifications were made to the Brown Book.  Hence,
the Debtors' employees were on actual notice of the
modifications not later than Jan. 1, 1983, Ms. Ball contends.
The retirees covered under the Retiree Flex, on the other hand,
were notified of the modifications of their benefits on or about
Jan. 1, 1993.

Hence, Ms. Ball asserts, the Brown Book Retirees' claims became
time barred under the applicable six-year statute of limitations
no later than Jan. 1, 1989, and the Retiree Flex Retirees'
claims became time barred no later than Jan. 1, 1999.

Ms. Ball adds that the Debtors may terminate unvested retiree
benefits without resort to Section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code.
By its terms, Section 1114(1) merely prevents a debtor from
circumventing Section 1114 by terminating benefits during the
six months prior to bankruptcy, according to Ms. Ball.

Accordingly, the Debtors ask the Court to overrule the Retirees
Committee's objection to the Unilateral Termination Motion.

DANA CORP: Creditors Committee Wants Retiree Benefits Modified
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors asks the Honorable
Burton R. Lifland of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York to authorize Dana Corp. and its debtor-
affiliates to modify the Retiree Benefits, subject to a finding
that the resulting damage claim will not dilute creditor
recoveries.

As previously reported, the Debtors asserted that rejection of
their collective bargaining agreements and modification of their
retiree benefits will enable them to save US$100,000,000 to
US$150,000,000 in annual cash costs.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors contends that the
cash savings, while substantial, could be illusory to the extent
that it could result in huge and dilutive rejection damage
claims against the Debtors' estates.

The union and non-union retirees have asserted that their
damages claims with respect to the termination of their benefits
alone will total more than US$1,400,000,000, Thomas Moers Mayer,
Esq., at Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel, LLP, in New York,
points out.

The size of a rejection damage claim is relevant in determining
whether the conditions for relief under Sections 1113 and 1114
of the Bankruptcy Code have been met, Mr. Mayers contends.
While the Creditors Committee generally supports the termination
of Retiree Benefits under Section 1114, Mr. Mayers says its
support is conditioned on a finding that the resulting claims,
if any, will not reduce creditor recoveries.

The Creditors Committee suggests that the Debtors provide more
evidence as to the amount of the rejection claims, if any, as
part of the Section 1114 process.

With regard to the Debtors' request to reject their CBAs, the
Creditors Committee says it does not have enough information to
determine whether or not the request will actually increase
creditor recoveries.  The Creditors Committee, hence, takes no
position at this time on the Section 1113 request, but will
develop its position as discovery progresses and after the
Debtors and the Unions provide additional information.

               Unions Reply to Committee's Argument

The International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and
Agricultural Implement Workers of America; and the United Steel,
Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied
Industrial and Service Workers International Union assert that
their efforts to address the Debtors' Section 1113/1114
proposals should not be additionally burdened by the Creditors
Committee's insistence on a claims adjudication that would
otherwise occur after the Court has granted the Debtors'
requests and the Unions have actually calculated and asserted
their claims.

Babette A. Ceccotti, Esq., at Cohen, Weiss and Simon, LLP, in
New York, points out that the Creditors Committee's single-
minded focus demonstrates the merits of the Seventh Circuit's
ruling In re UAL Corp., 408 F.3d 847, 851 (7th Cir. 2005) that
third parties with merely a financial stake in the outcome of a
Section 1113 proceeding do not have a standing to participate as
"interested parties" at the hearing.

The Creditors Committee wanted the Court to embark on what would
be a protracted and complex claim litigation designed to purely
address its support for the Debtors' request, Ms. Ceccotti
notes.  The principal goal of Sections 1113 and 1114 to promote
negotiated solutions is clearly undermined by an expansion of
the litigation as proposed by the Creditors Committee, Ms.
Ceccotti avers.

The Unions believe that the Creditors Committee only seeks to
complicate and exacerbate the already fractious process.

Thus, the Unions ask the Court to reject the Creditors
Committee's effort to interject itself into the Section
1113/1114 process.

                     Debtors Talk Back

None of the objectors disputed the fact that the Debtors'
operating structure is not sustainable and that the Section
1113/1114 proposals would generate cash savings of more than
US$100,000,000 annually, Corinne Ball, Esq., at Jones Day, in
New York, points out.

The Debtors maintain that they have provided all the information
necessary for all interested parties to make an informed
evaluation of the Proposals.  The Debtors admit that they have
not provided their 2008 and beyond financial projections because
they are not yet complete.

The Debtors assert that it cannot achieve the operating profit
margins it needs to compete by repatriating cash from foreign
operations:

   1. The Official Committee of Non-Union Retirees "projections"
      of the Debtors' future liquidity neither account for the
      repayment of the Debtors' US$900,000,000 DIP term loan nor
      the reduction in liquidity that will result upon emergence
      from Chapter 11, when the Debtors must pay its
      administrative claims, reclamation claims, contract cure
      payments, success fees, professional fee hold-backs, and
      priority and other secured claims.

   2. The Debtors' ability to repatriate cash from its foreign
      operations is severely limited by a number of constraints.

   3. Repatriation does nothing to address the core problem that
      threatens the Debtors' continued viability -- the current
      cost structure of the consolidated enterprise is simply
      not sustainable.

The Debtors contend that they cannot survive as a viable entity
without eliminating their obligations to pay long-term retiree
healthcare and welfare benefits.

Ms. Ball maintains that the Debtors' Proposals treat all parties
fairly and equitably.  The Debtors have also negotiated in good
faith, Ms. Ball continues.  The Debtors have made it clear to
the Retirees Committee that they are ready to negotiate all
other aspects of the Proposals, including details and funding of
the proposed Voluntary Employees' Benefit Association.

The evidence at trial will show that the Debtors have not
proposed below-market wages, Ms. Ball avers.  There is no merit
to the Unions' assertions that the Debtors cannot retain a
productive workforce if the Proposals are implemented, Ms. Ball
adds.

"When the unions and retirees make demands that are not
economically feasible and offer no alternatives that would
permit the debtor to reorganize successfully, they do not have
'good cause' to reject the debtor's proposal," Ms. Ball asserts.

The Unions and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
have not proposed any alternatives to the Section 1113/1114
proposals that will generate the cost savings and revenue
enhancements that the Debtors need to achieve the operating
profit margins required to emerge from bankruptcy and compete as
a viable entity in the global marketplace, Ms. Ball tells the
Court.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace
Workers have argued that it is entitled to ignore Section 1113
proposals with respect to its CBAs at the facilities in
Churubusco, Ind.; Robinson, Ill.; and Manchester, Mo., because
the CBAs were extended after their bankruptcy filing, thus
making the CBAs postpetition contracts.  "Extension of a
prepetition contract during the course of a Chapter 11 case,
absent other material modifications, does not create a new
postpetition contract," Ms. Ball contends.

NEAFIDI: Operating Losses Cue Fitch to Cut IDR to BB+
-----------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings downgraded Italy-based NeaFidi's Issuer Default
Rating to 'BB+' from 'BBB-', Insurer Financial Strength rating
to 'BBB-' from 'BBB' and Short-term rating to 'B' from 'F3'.
The Outlook for the IDR and IFS ratings is now Stable.

The rating action reflects Nea's inability to generate a
reasonable level of operating profits from its operations, as
shown by persisting operating losses in the years 2004 to 2006.
Despite management efforts to improve operating profitability,
Nea remains entirely dependent on subsidies received from the
region of The Veneto and the local chamber of commerce to report
a net profit.  In addition, budget figures provided to Fitch
suggest this is a structural feature of Nea's current business
model as it will remain the case in the near future.  Fitch also
considers that Nea's accounting and budgeting systems need to be
strengthened given its bigger size.

The ratings remain based on the secure mechanism Nea has in
place to protect its equity from loan losses, for which annual
payments for credit losses will not exceed 1.5% of its total
guarantee book, Fitch notes that Nea's ability to negotiate for
the inclusion of this mechanism in its agreements with banks may
come under pressure in the future.  The ratings also consider
Nea's conservative credit risk management and appetite. It has a
strong record in assessing the credit risk of its local small-
and medium-sized enterprise clients and managing its credit
risk, as shown by the level of its problem guarantees.  Loan
loss reserves cover at end-2006 should be equal to over three
times the level of gross problem guarantees.  A mild
deterioration in asset quality suffered by the Nea between end-
2004 and end-March 2006 has been halted, and recent data suggest
a return to greater stability.

Nea has an adequate capital base in view of its well-managed
credit risk.  Its equity plus loan loss reserves to gross
guarantees ratio was better than peers' at end-June 2006.  Fitch
regards positively Nea's efforts to attract fresh capital by
looking at institutional investors with a long-term strategic
perspective.  In principle, Fitch also regards positively Nea's
opening to possible mergers with other smaller or similarly
sized confidi but notes that, as aggregations increase an
entity's complexity, the integration of systems and structures
has to be managed fast and efficiently as delays may hamper
success in achieving expected benefits.

Nea is a cooperative providing credit guarantees to SMEs and is
the result of the merger of six confidi based in the Veneto
region.


PARMALAT SPA: Paraguay Unit Recalls Milk Amid Mass Poisoning
------------------------------------------------------------
Parmalat Paraguay, a unit of Parmalat S.p.A., has recalled a
batch of pasteurized milk linked to more than 300 cases of food
poisoning in the Latin American country, Reuters reports.

The Health Ministry's National Food and Nutrition Institute
requested shops to take Parmalat's milk off from shelves, a
trade group representing supermarkets told Bloomberg News.

"The products were recalled from the Paraguayan market and now
they're being analyzed, but at the moment the information
indicates that the milk's decomposition took place in the
refrigeration chain," Jose Maria Aguero, a representative of
Parmalat Paraguay, told a local radio.

Cases of food poisoning were reported in Alto Parana, Paraguay.
Patients reported symptoms that include vomiting and diarrhea
several hours after drinking milk, Francisco Guerrero, a senior
health official told Reuters.

"We appeal to people that, for the moment, they don't drink
Parmalat milk and that shopkeepers take back their stock to
where they bought it," Mr. Aguero said.  "That way the risk of
more people falling ill is reduced."

binding agreement.

In consideration for these assets, KazakhGold proposes to issue,
upon completion, up to a maximum of 3,541,666 new shares to
Oxus, representing around 7% of the enlarged share capital of
KazakhGold following the issue of the consideration shares.  The
number of shares issued as consideration will be subject to
adjustment if any of the assets above are not transferred to
KazakhGold.  The consideration, i.e. number of shares, will not
be subject to adjustment to reflect fluctuations in the
KazakhGold share price.

Additionally, KazakhGold has agreed in principle that it will
pay Oxus up to a further US$80 million in cash, payable in
instalments, if it is awarded the licence at Jerooy and
commences development and production at the deposit.  Any such
payment is conditional, inter alia, on Oxus ceasing its ongoing
litigation regarding the Jerooy license.

"We are very excited about the potential acquisition of assets
from Oxus Gold," Kanat Assaubayev, Executive Chairman, said.
"We believe that these will contribute to achieving our stated
ambition of becoming the leading gold producer in Central Asia."

Headquartered in Stepnogorsk, Kazakhstan, KazakhGold Group
(London: KZG)  -- http://www.kazakhgold.com/-- is one of the
leading gold mining companies in Kazakhstan whose business dates
back to 1929.  The Group's core assets are the Aksu, Bestobe and
Zholymbet mines located in Northern Kazakhstan, in close
proximity to the country's capital city Astana.  Since its
London listing on last year, the company has acquired several
new deposits in Eastern Kazakhstan, which are subject to the
joint venture with Barrick Gold.  The company employs 3,200
workers.


KAZAKHGOLD GROUP: Fitch Affirms B IDR on Acquisition Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings affirmed the ratings of KazakhGold Group Limited,
a Kazakhstan-based gold producer, at foreign currency Issuer
Default rating of 'B' with a Stable Outlook and US$200 million
Senior Notes Issue, maturity date November 6, 2013, of 'B'.

The affirmation follows the company's announcement that it plans
to acquire certain assets of Oxus Gold PLC.  These include a
100% interest in Norox Mining Company Limited, which, via its
66.67% holding in the Talas Gold Mining Company, owns a gold
processing plant at the site of Jerooy gold mine in Talas,
Kyrgyzstan; the remaining 50% in its joint venture with Oxus -
Romaltyn Limited, Romania; and some exploration assets in
Turkey, currently owned by Oxus' 86%-owned subsidiary, Marakand
Minerals Limited.  The acquisitions are subject to various
conditions including due diligence, regulatory approvals and
signing of a legally binding agreement.

Although the cost of the acquisitions, with a total
consideration of about US$150 million, is material, Fitch
believes that it is unlikely to have a negative impact on the
company's credit profile due to its equity-funded nature.
KazakhGold plans to finance the acquisitions through an
additional share issue of up to 3,541,666 new shares to Oxus, or
7% of the enlarged share capital.  In addition, KazakhGold has
agreed to pay US$80 million in cash for Jerooy gold mine, in
installments, which is conditional upon receipt of the license
for the Jerooy deposit.  The installments will be paid from cash
flows generated by the deposit once the license is granted and
the deposit is put into operation.  Thus the agreement to pay
US$80 million in cash should not affect KazakhGold's cash
position.

Fitch believes that the assets to be acquired are complementary
to KazakhGold's core business and operations.  However, the
financial viability of the acquisitions remains to be determined
since some of the assets are not yet in operation, which implies
execution risk.  In addition, the announcement represents a
divergence from KazakhGold's previously stated strategy of
organic growth.  A shift in strategic approach to focus more on
acquisitions, especially if debt-funded, could put pressure on
KazakhGold's ratings going forward.

KazakhGold is a Kazakhstan-based gold producer that is
undertaking a major expansion and modernization program at its
three operating gold mines.  The company carried out an IPO on
the LSE in late 2005 and placed a bond issue of US$200 million
in late 2006.  The proceeds are planned for expansion capex
program.


KAZTRANSOIL: S&P Affirms BB+ Rating in Line with Parent Company
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on
Kazakhstan-based oil pipeline operator KazTransOil to positive
from stable, following reassessment of the credit quality of
100% parent, government-controlled oil and gas holding
KazMunaiGas.  At the same time, the 'BB+' long-term corporate
credit rating was affirmed.

"The outlook revision reflects the possibility of bringing KTO's
ratings closer in line with the credit quality of KMG," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Eugene Korovin. "We believe
KTO's credit quality depends heavily on that of KMG, because of
the high strategic importance of KTO's operations, which account
for more than 60% of national oil exports."

The rating on KTO is now based on a top-down approach and is
somewhat lower than our assessment of KMG's credit quality,
because of the strategic risk of KTO's participation in new,
large planned oil pipeline projects.  Before raising the rating,
most likely by one notch, we would need to be satisfied that
KTO's stand-alone credit quality, currently assessed at 'BB+',
would not deteriorate materially as a result of these projects.

KMG's credit quality is linked to that of its 100% owner, the
Republic of Kazakhstan, and benefits from both ongoing and
extraordinary state support, based on the strategic importance
of the energy sector to the national economy.

KTO's rating is constrained by the strategic risks from the
company's likely participation in the capacity expansion of
crude export pipelines, which may lead to a more aggressive
financial profile in the medium term.  The rating is also
constrained by high operational dependence on Russian
government-controlled monopoly pipeline operator OAO AK
Transneft to enable oil exports via KTO's major Atyrau-Samara
export route.

These weaknesses are offset by KTO's limited competition from
other pipeline systems and its long-term contracts with oil
producers.  Increased diversification of KTO's export routes,
good prospects for oil production growth in Kazakhstan, a
prudent approach to risk allocation on new pipeline projects,
and ample liquidity further support the rating.

"An upgrade is possible if the gap in credit quality between KTO
and KMG wanes due to stronger parental support and higher stand-
alone credit quality for KTO," said Mr. Korovin.

We also assume that KTO will retain access to Transneft's
pipeline infrastructure on reasonable terms and will remain
consistent with its prudent, risk-averse approach to new
projects.

Aggressive acceptance of new project risks that would
substantially impair KTO's stand-alone creditworthiness might
impair the existing upside potential in the rating in the
absence of other mitigants such as stronger parental or
governmental support.

At Sept. 30, 2006, KTO had total debt of KZT49.5 billion under
Kazakh GAAP.

LATVIJAS KRAJBANKA: S&P Assigns B Ratings on Poor Capitalization
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' long- and
'B' short-term counterparty credit ratings to Latvia-based A/S
Latvijas Krajbanka.  The outlook is stable.

"The ratings on Krajbanka reflect: the bank's barely adequate
capitalization, further pressurized by its rapid credit
expansion, particularly into unsecured consumer lending; a
modest market position; and restrained profitability," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Matthew Pirnie.

The ratings also reflect the risk of operating in the rapidly
growing and untested operating environment in the Republic of
Latvia, where the economy is showing clear signs of overheating.
On the positive side, Krajbanka benefits from a strong
distribution network and a recognizable brand, good funding and
liquidity profile, innovative retail strategy, and strengthening
risk management.

"The stable outlook reflects the expectation that Krajbanka will
expand its business and maintain its financial profile by
successfully implementing its domestic strategy of expanding its
local retail services," added Mr. Pirnie.  If the bank were able
to increase profitability and durably strengthen capitalization,
this could benefit the ratings. Greater integration and support
from its parent, Lithuania's Bankas Snoras, could also be viewed
as a positive rating factor.  Downward pressure on ratings would
come from deteriorating asset quality and capitalization, or a
significant downturn in the operating environment.

BANKAS SNORAS: S&P Assigns BB- Ratings with Stable Outlook
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB-' long- and
'B' short-term counterparty credit ratings to Lithuania-based
Bankas Snoras.  The outlook is stable.

"The ratings are constrained by Snoras' low capitalization,
relatively high concentration in lending, and the challenges of
operating in the highly competitive and above-average risk
environment in the Republic of Lithuania," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Eugene Tarzimanov.  Positive rating
factors include Snoras' good franchise on the domestic retail
banking market, its adequate profitability, and good balance-
sheet liquidity.

"The stable outlook balances our opinion that Snoras will be
able to grow organically in line with its strategic objectives,
while maintaining its good competitive position on its core
markets," added Mr. Tarzimanov.  A positive rating action may
follow if the bank raises its capital ratios to materially
higher levels, improves its core profitability, and reduces
single-party concentrations in lending.  Snoras could be
downgraded if the bank's financial performance and
capitalization were to deteriorate significantly. In addition,
it would be considered as being negative by Standard & Poor's if
Snoras was to materially increase its exposure to Russian
projects, which we view as more risky.

CHAPEL 2007: Moody's Rates EUR13.8-Mln Class F Notes at (P)B3
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned these provisional ratings to
seven classes of asset-backed notes to be issued by Chapel 2007
B.V.:

   -- EUR321-million Senior Class A1 Asset-Backed Notes 2007 due
      2066: (P)Aaa;

   -- EUR300-million Senior Class A2 Asset-Backed Notes 2007 due
      2066: (P)Aaa;

   -- EUR13.8-million Senior Class B Asset-Backed Notes 2007 due
      2066: (P)Aa2;

   -- EUR23.5-million Mezzanine Class C Asset-Backed Notes 2007
      due 2066: (P)A1;

   -- EUR17.9-million Mezzanine Class D Asset-Backed Notes 2007
      due 2066: (P)A3;

   -- EUR13.8-million Junior Class E Asset-Backed Notes 2007 due
      2066: (P)Baa3; and

   -- EUR13.8-million Subordinated Class F Notes 2007 Due 2066:
      (P)B3

Moody's has not rated the EUR6.9-million Subordinated Class G
Notes 2007 due 2066.

This transaction is a securitization of receivables arising
under Dutch unsecured consumer loans and consumer loans secured
by second lien mortgages originated by DSB Bank N.V. and DSB
Financieringen B.V.  This is the second ABS (unsecured consumer
loan/secured consumer loan) transaction by the originating and
servicing financial institution, after the first Chapel
transaction, which closed in December 2003.

Under this transaction, the SPV will issue Class A1, Class A2,
Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Notes to fund the purchase
of the portfolio.  Additionally, the Class F and Class G Notes
will be issued to fund the reserve account at its target amount.
Until July 2010 and provided that certain triggers and
eligibility criteria are met, principal collections will be used
to purchase subsitute receivables.  After the replenishment
period, the principal collections will be used to pay down the
Class A1 first and thereafter the Class A2 to Class E Notes in
full sequential order.  The Class F and Class G Notes are
"delayed turbo" notes -- interest and principal will be paid
back from available excess spread through the interest priority
of payments and, if available, the amount standing to the credit
of the reserve account.  Principal will however only be paid
back at the earlier of:

   (i) the payment date at which the Class A1 to Class E Notes
       are redeemed in full or

  (ii) the first optional redemption date (July 2012). After
       the full redemption of the Class A1 to Class E Notes, the
       available amount standing to the credit of the reserve
       account can be used to pay down the Class F Notes and the
       Class G Notes in sequential order.

Additionally, the SPV will enter into an interest rate swap with
ABN AMRO Bank N.V. in order to hedge the interest rate risk
exposure, as the SPV has to pay a floating rate of interest
under the notes while the loans are partially based on a fixed
interest rate.  The gross spread (before senior fees and spread
on the notes) provided by the swap is 2.50%. T he estimated
excess spread available as the first layer of credit enhancement
is approximately 2%.

According to Moody's, the ratings of the notes are based, inter
alia, on these factors:

   -- The credit enhancement which is provided by:

         (i) excess spread;
        (ii) subordination; and
       (iii) the reserve account.

   -- The liquidity in the transaction which is provided by
      these three features:

         (i) the availability of the reserve account;

        (ii) in case the reserve account is fully drawn
             liquidity will be provided by the fact that
             principal collections can be used to pay interest
             on the notes; and

       (iii) in case no principal is available to pay the
             interest shortfall, the liquidity facility could be
             used to pay senior fees and interest on the Class
             A1 to Class E Notes.

   -- The mitigants in the structure to avoid set-off risk due
      to insurance loans, where the obligor has an insurance
      policy with a DSB entity. Those insurance policies have
      been transferred to an SPV which is economically
      bankruptcy remote;

   -- As DSB is also engaged in deposit business, set-off risk
      could potentially also arise in the insolvency of DSB
      itself. Borrowers with a current account could have the
      right to set-off their deposits against the loan
      outstanding amount.  To mitigate this risk, there will be
      an initial reserve in place which captures the set-off
      risk at closing.  If the set off risk increases over time,
      first available excess spread at the bottom of the
      interest priority of payments will be trapped to provision
      for the increased amount at risk and if the available
      excess spread is not sufficient to capture the increased
      risk a subordinated loan provided by DSB will fund any
      difference.

   -- The mitigants in the structure to avoid a deterioration of
      the portfolio through replenishment. The transaction
      involves a replenishment period until July 2010, during
      which new receivables arising under loans which are not
      yet included in the portfolio can be sold to the SPV.
      Additionally, "further advance receivables" can be sold to
      the SPV until the first optional redemption date in July
      2012.  In order to mitigate the additional loss potential
      arising from the replenishment, replenishment suspension
      triggers based on the portfolio performance are included -
      - no replenishment will be allowed if the reserve amount
      is not equal to the reserve account required amount;

   -- Recent origination vintages show worse performance than
      older vintages -- this phenomenon is reflected in the
      delinquency data as well as in the static write-off data
      and can also be seen in the performance of Chapel 2003.
      This worsening trend has been taken into account in the
      analysis;

   -- Due to the type of loan contracts, the amortization
      profile of the loans is not predefined. The amortization
      speed will influence the value of excess spread as a means
      of credit enhancement. To mitigate this uncertainty,
      Moody's has tested various redemption rate scenarios.

Moody's issues provisional ratings in advance of the final sale
of securities, but these ratings only represent Moody's
preliminary credit opinion.  Upon a conclusive review of the
transaction and associated documentation, Moody's will endeavor
to assign definitive ratings to the Notes. A definitive rating
may differ from a provisional rating.  Moody's will disseminate
the assignment of any definitive ratings through its Client
Service Desk.

The ratings address the expected loss posed to investors by the
legal final maturity of the notes.  In Moody's opinion, the
structure allows for timely payment of interest and ultimate
payment of principal with respect to the Class A1, Class A2,
Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E notes by the legal final
maturity.  Moody's ratings address only the credit risks
associated with the transaction.  Other non-credit risks have
not been addressed, but may have a significant effect on yield
to investors.


CHAPEL 2007: S&P Assigns B- Prelim Ratings to EUR13.8-Mln Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its preliminary
credit ratings to the asset-backed floating-rate notes and

comprising unsecured personal loans and secured second-lien
mortgages.  The pool consists of 68.64% unsecured loans and
31.36% secured loans.

This is the second public securitization of secured and
unsecured consumer loan receivables originated by DSB Bank N.V.

The loans in the portfolio have experienced low levels of
historical losses and the servicer has a dominant position in
the Dutch consumer market.

YUKOS OIL: Dutch Laws Ban Sale of 49% Transpetrol Stake
-------------------------------------------------------
OAO Yukos Oil Co. does not intend to assert in a Dutch court
that its subsidiary, Yukos Finance BV, has a right to
participate in the sale of a 49% stake in Transpetrol a.s.,
RosBusinessConsulting reports citing Nikolai Lashkevich,
spokesperson for Yukos bankruptcy receiver Eduard Rebgun.

According to RBC, Yukos Oil and Yukos Finance serve as
beneficiaries to a trust company in Holland where the
Transpetrol stake is currently retained.  However, RBC says,
Dutch laws ban Mr. Rebgun from selling the asset.

Mr. Rebgun revealed that the stake is being appraised without
adding when the process will be completed.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on Aug. 16,
2006, Mr. Rebgun, in his capacity as court-appointed insolvency
manager for Yukos Oil, fired Bruce Misamore and David Godfrey of
Yukos Finance after a Dutch court ruled that he was within his
rights to call for an extraordinary meeting to discharge the
officers.

The decision, which Mr. Rebgun claims was authorized by
shareholders, paved the way for creditors to take control of
Yukos Finance's main assets, including:

   -- a 53.7-percent stake in Lithuanian refinery Mazeikiu Nafta
      AB, worth almost US$1.5 billion, bought by PKN Orlen for
      US$1.49 billion in December 2006; and

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

The Slovakian government, which holds the remaining 51% in
Transpetrol, indicated last year that it is trying to reinforce
its position over the company by repurchasing the 49% stake it
sold to Yukos in 2002.

The Slovak government has until mid-2007 to veto any effort of
the Russian company to sell its stake.

                      About Transpetrol

Transpetrol a.s. -- http://www.transpetrol.sk/-- operates the
Slovak part of the Druzhba oil pipeline through which about 10
million tons of Russian oil flow to western Europe annually.

                       About Yukos Oil

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 on 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.

On March 10, 2006, 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, 2006, 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, 2006, 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 Aug. 1, 2006, 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.

AFINSA BIENES: Files Chapter 15 Petition in S.D.N.Y.
----------------------------------------------------
Javier Diaz Galvez, Benito Aguera Marin, and Ana Fernandez Daza,
in their capacities as foreign representatives for Afinsa Bienes
Tangibles SA, filed a chapter 15 petition with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York in
Manhattan on March 13.

On May 9, 2006, Spanish authorities under the supervision of the
Spanish High Court closed Afinsa Bienes' offices, suspended its
operations, and began a probe into potentially illegal
activities allegedly committed by Afinsa Bienes and certain of
its officers and directors.

These alleged activities include money laundering, fraud, tax
evasion, and criminal insolvency.  It has been alleged that
Afinsa Bienes had been engaged in a massive Ponzi scheme built
on worthless stamps, with Afinsa Bienes' assets siphoned off in
bogus transactions.

It has been estimated that there may be in excess of 143,000
contracts on which some EUR4.2 billion may be owing by Afinsa
Bienes, the overwhelming amount of which is likely owing to
creditors in Spain, Thomas L. Kent, Esq., at Paul, Hastings,
Janofsky & Walker LLP in New York, representing the petitioners,
said.

On May 11, 2006, a claim for the declaration Afinsa Bienes'
bankruptcy was presented to Mercantile Court No. 6 in Madrid,
Spain.  Subsequently, on July 14, 2006, the Spanish Court
declared Afinsa Bienes insolvent and appointed the Foreign
Representatives to oversee the Debtor.

Afinsa Bienes owns a 67% equity interest in Escala Group Inc.
that is headquartered in New York.  The equity interest is
directly owned by its 100%-owned subsidiary, Auctentia S.L.

Afinsa Bienes allegedly entered into certain exclusive supply
agreements with Escala.  Escala became Afinsa Bienes's exclusive
supplier of certain collectible materials, mainly stamps.

In exchange for those services, Afinsa Bienes was allegedly
obliged to pay Escala a processing fee.  It is believed that
those transactions represent a significant portion of Escala's
sales, revenues and gross profits for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004, Mr. Kent further said.

                     Class Action Suits

Commencing in May 2006, a number of purported class action
lawsuits were filed against Escala, Afinsa Bienes, and Auctentia
and their respective officers and directors.

The lawsuits allege that certain filings made to the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission and other public statements
contained false and misleading information, which resulted in
damages when the plaintiffs purchased Escala's securites from
Sept. 5, 2003, through May 8-10, 2006.

The various class actions were consolidated at In re Escala
Group Inc. Securities Litigation, Master File O6-cv-3518 (U.S.
District Court, S.D.N.Y.).  Virginia Retirement System was
appointed lead plaintiff for the purported class action.

Headquartered in Madrid, Spain, Afinsa Bienes Tangibles SA --
http://www.afinsa.es/eng/-- is a wholesaler and retailer of
stamps, coins, art works and other collectables.  Thomas L.
Kent, Esq., Anthony Princi, Esq., and Jennifer A. Mo, Esq., at
Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP represent the Debtor.
When the petitioners filed the chapter 15 petition, they
estimated more than US$100 million in assets and debts.

GLENCORE FINANCE: Moody's Rates Proposed Securities at (P)Ba2
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a provisional (P)Ba2 rating
to the proposed issuance of subordinated perpetual securities by
Glencore Finance (Europe) S.A. to be guaranteed by Glencore AG
and Glencore International AG, rated Baa3 (stable outlook) for
its senior unsecured debt.

The assigned rating and the basket designation will be subject
to satisfactory final documentation.  The rating outlook is
stable.

Glencore International introduced a new layer to the Group's
capital structure, whereby effective Jan. 1, 2006, around 10% of
its annual net income is to be attributed to a new class of
claims that will be settled upon departure of shareholder
employees through the internal issuance to them of hybrid
securities rather than cash payments over a five-year period.
No public issuance of such securities is currently contemplated.
The instrument will help reduce to some extent the size of
future annual payouts related to profit participation
certificates, though this will be partially offset by the coupon
payments on the hybrid bonds.  This, together with the 15%
attribution of earnings to Glencore L.T.E. profit participation
shareholders, will contribute to greater capital permanency.  At
the end of 2006, just under 25% of the group's equity base was
held by L.T.E. and hybrid profit participation shareholders.

Moody's said that the (P)Ba2 rating for the subordinated
perpetual securities reflects the level of subordination of this
security relative to other debt obligations issued or guaranteed
by Glencore International and the presence of mandatory deferral
triggers with an alternative coupon settlement mechanism.  In
particular, the bonds will rank behind the claims of all senior
creditors and only ahead of the claims of Glencore L.T.E. AG
profit participation shareholders.

The instrument will, in Moody's view, have sufficient equity-
like features to allow it to receive basket "D" treatment, i.e.
75% equity and 25% debt for financial leverage purposes.  The
basket allocation is based on the rankings for the three
dimensions of equity:

   (i) No Maturity: Strong -- The Notes will have no maturity
       and a regular first call option by the issuer no earlier
       than 10 years.  Prior to the first call date the issuer
       has the right to redeem the bonds upon a tax or rating
       event.  Potential redemption on such call dates will be
       covered by a Deed of Covenant under English law where the
       issuer and the guarantors undertake that the instrument
       can only be replaced by another clearly specified
       instrument with the same or more equity-like
       characteristics for the benefit of a certain class of
       more senior creditors.

  (ii) No Ongoing Payments: Moderate -- Deferral of interest
       will be mandatory upon breach of one of three financial
       triggers, defined as:

          (1) long-term debt exceeding 100% of consolidated
              tangible net worth;

          (2) consolidated current assets falling below 110% of
              consolidated current liabilities;

          (3) adjusted funds from operations representing less
              than 12% of adjusted net debt.

       Once deferred, interest payments can only be settled
       through the alternative coupon settlement mechanism
       giving the company the right to settle with the proceeds
       raised from the issuance of either:

          (i) Payment Hybrid Debt that is perpetual, callable
              subject to a Covenant with mandatory deferral
              triggers and similar limitations as to the
              subsequent settlement of deferred interest
              payments
              and ranking, at best, pari passu with the proposed
              instrument;

         (ii) PIK securities; or

        (iii) non-cumulative undated, non-redeemable Preferred
              Shares.

       Should Glencore International become publicly listed,
       deferred interest payments may also be settled through
       the issuance of either:

          (i) Mandatory Convertible Securities converting within
              three years into Glencore International common
              shares and ranking only pari passu with common
              equity and/or

         (ii) Common Shares of Glencore International.

       The aggregate amount of Payment Hybrid Debt, Preferred
       Shares, Mandatory Convertible Securities and PIK
       securities should not exceed 25% of the principal amount
       of which Payment Hybrid Debt and PIK securities cannot
       exceed 15%.  In addition, settlement out of the proceeds
       of a capital increase will be limited to 2% of Glencore
       International's outstanding share capital in any one
       year.  Any deferred payments that cannot be settled
       within 5 years through the alternative coupon settlement
       mechanism will be entirely forgiven and any accumulated
       coupons will also be forgiven in bankruptcy.

(iii) Loss Absorption: Moderate - In the event of liquidation,
       the securities will rank junior to all senior creditors
       of the issuer.

They will, however, rank pari passu with the claims of Glencore
Holding AG profit participation shareholders.  They will only be
senior to the shares in the capital of the issuer and guarantors
and, in the case of Glencore International, the claims of
Glencore L.T.E. AG profit participation shareholders.  Given
that there is the possibility to issue junior securities below
the claims of Glencore Holding AG profit participation
shareholders, the ranking is Moderate.

Headquartered in Baar, Switzerland, Glencore International AG is
a privately-held natural resource company with major activities
in physical commodities sourcing and marketing complemented by
significant investments in the natural resources sector.  In
2006, the group reported revenues of approximately US$117
billion.

TURKCELL ILETISIM: Court Dismisses TeliaSonera Suit vs. Board
-------------------------------------------------------------
A court in Istanbul, Turkey, has dismissed a suit filed by
TeliaSonera AB against Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri AS,
Bloomberg News reports.

TeliaSonera, which holds a 37% stake in the company, petitioned
the court in August 2006, to nullify a May 22 board decision
objecting to the appointment of three board members on lack of
"independence."

Cukurova Group, which controls 27 percent of Turkcell, was
ordered by the arbitration tribunal of the International Chamber
of Commerce in January to sell its 13 percent stake in Turkcell
Holding, the Dutch parent of Turkcell Iletisim, to Teliasonera
for US$3.1 billion (approximately SEK21.7 billion).  The sale
increased Teliasonera's effective ownership in Turkcell to 64.3
percent.

NAFTOGAZ UKRAINY: Investing US$800-Mln to Boost Self-Sufficiency
----------------------------------------------------------------
NAK Naftogaz Ukrainy will invest US$800 million in oil and gas
extraction and pipelines to become less dependent on imported
fuel, Bloomberg News reports.

Naftogaz will borrow US$653 million from foreign and local banks
to refinance its debts, Oleksandr Kovalko, chief finance officer
of Naftogaz, told Bloomberg News.  Mr. Novalko said the company
will borrow funds starting end of spring.

"We will attract loans and we may also issue bonds," Mr. Kovalko
said.  "Everything depends on the situation in the world markets
and our financial results."

Mr. Novalko added that Naftogaz will review all its projects and
focus on profitable ones, Bloomberg News says.

The company hopes to lessen the country's dependence on Russian
fuel imports, which accounts for 80% of its energy needs.
Ukraine plans to invest in gas and oil extraction abroad and the
Black Sea.  Naftogaz will pour in around US$30 million for an
oil and gas exploration in Egypt.

Mr. Kovalko disclosed to Bloomberg News that Naftogaz availed of
a US$350 million loan at the end of 2006 and a US$200 million
loan in February from Credit Suisse to repay a US$200 million
debt to ABN AMRO.

ADVANCED MARKETING: Court Approves Asset Sale to Baker & Taylor
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Christopher S. Sontchi of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware approved in its entirety the Asset
Purchase Agreement between Advanced Marketing Services Inc. and
Baker & Taylor Inc. for the sale of majority of AMS' assets.

Judge Sontchi authorized the Debtors and Baker & Taylor to take
necessary actions to implement and effectuate the APA, the
Transition Services Agreement, and the Collateral Agreement,
without the necessity of a further Court order.

Under the agreement, which both parties entered into on Feb. 16,
Baker & Taylor will acquire all of AMS' right, title, and
interest in certain of its assets including:

     (i) certain assigned contracts,

    (ii) certain tangible property owned or used by AMS in
         connection with the conduct of its business,

   (iii) all trade accounts receivable of AMS' business,
         including unbilled accounts receivable,

    (iv) an inventory of Advantage Publishers Group selected by
         Baker & Taylor,

     (v) the capital stock of Advanced Marketing Services
         Investments Inc.; Advanced Marketing S. de R.L, de
         C.V.; and Advanced Marketing (Europe) Ltd., and

    (vi) product prepayments with respect to APG.

Baker & Taylor will pay:

    (i) US$20,000,000;

   (ii) the Selected APG Inventory Price;

  (iii) the APG Product Prepayment Price; and

   (iv) the Accounts Receivable Price; plus or minus

    (v) the net proration of the Apportioned Obligations
       determined in accordance with the agreement.

Baker & Taylor will pay to AMS 50% of the Purchase Price on the
Closing Date; 25% no later than 60 days after the Closing Date;
and the remaining 25% no later than 90 days after the Closing
Date.

Several creditors and publishers tried to block the sale,
including:

   (1) The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors,
   (2) Wells Fargo Foothill Inc.,
   (3) Anova Books Company Limited,
   (4) Houghton Mifflin Company,
   (5) Hewlett-Packard Financial Services Company,
   (6) Hewlett Packard Company
   (7) Simon & Schuster Inc.,
   (8) Meredith Corporation,
   (9) Barron's Education Series Inc.,
  (10) Manhattan Associates Inc.,
  (11) Reader's Digest Children's Publishing Inc.,
  (12) The Quarto Group Inc.,
  (13) Hachette Book Group USA, Inc.,
  (14) New Holland Publishers (UK) Ltd.,
  (15) Templar Company plc,
  (16) Random House Inc.,
  (17) Teogas Inc.,
  (18) Leisure Arts Inc., and
  (19) County of Denton, City of Carrollton and Lewisville
       Independent School District

The Creditors Committee, among other things, asserted that the
APA must provide adequate time to allow for the proper
implementation of the TSA, and allow the Debtors to maintain
control over their assets during the post-closing transition
period.

Wells Fargo consented to the sale so long as it and its
participant lenders are paid in full in connection with the
Debtors' pre- and postpetition financing.

Denton County asked the Court to rule that delinquent property
taxes, penalties and interest be paid in full from the proceeds
of the sale, at the time of the closing of the transaction,
prior to application of proceeds to other lien creditors.

The rest of the objecting parties either opposed the Debtors'
proposed assumption and assignment of their executory contracts,
or the proposed cure amounts.

Buyer to Make Cure Payments

Judge Sontchi directs Baker & Taylor to promptly pay to parties
to any assigned contract the requisite Prepetition Date "cure"
amounts, or a lesser amount as maybe agreed upon between Baker &
Taylor and the counter-party to an Assigned Contract, following
assumption and assignment.  The Debtors will pay any amounts due
that arose and became payable after the Petition Date with
respect to any non-debtor party to an Assigned Contract.

Baker & Taylor will pay in a "Closing Payoff Amount" sufficient
to satisfy the Debtors' obligations to the Lender and Senior
Lender to Wells Fargo Foothill concurrently with the Closing in
full satisfaction of all obligations under the Senior Loan
Agreement and the Loan Agreement.  Wells Fargo Foothill, in
turn, will provide Baker & Taylor and the Debtors a payoff
demand letter and wire instructions at least three business days
prior to the Closing Date.

The payment of the Closing Payoff Amount will be part of, and
not in addition to, Baker & Taylor's obligations to pay the
purchase price, so that any amounts paid by Baker & Taylor to
Wells Fargo Foothill for application to the obligations under
the Senior Loan Agreement and the Loan Agreement will be
credited in full against Baker & Taylor's obligations to deliver
the purchase price to the Debtors.

Judge Sontchi clarifies that no accounts receivable of the
Debtors from Leisure Arts, Meredith Corp., and Barron's
Educational are being sold or purchased pursuant to the APA, nor
are any executory contracts, if any, with the parties being
assumed and assigned pursuant to the APA.

Judge Sontchi also holds that Baker & Taylor, absent the consent
of the Quarto Group, will not take an assignment of any
executory contracts to which the Debtors and the Quarto Group
may be parties.  In connection with Baker & Taylor's purchase of
selected APG Inventory and APG Product Prepayments from the
Debtors published and derived from the Quarto Group, Baker &
Taylor will have and be granted a limited, non-exclusive license
and full rights to sell any and all inventory published and
derived from the Quarto Group selected and purchased by Baker &
Taylor only to wholesale clubs, like Costco, Sam, and B.J.'s.

The Debtors are authorized to assume and assign the executory
contracts between Templar and the Debtors to Baker & Taylor.
Baker & Taylor waives any right to exclude the executory
contracts with Templar from the definition of Assigned Contracts
in accordance with the terms of the APA.  The Cure Amount has
been agreed among Templar, Baker & Taylor, and the Debtors to be
US$481,707.  Baker & Taylor agrees to pay the Cure Amount on or
promptly following the Closing.

Baker & Taylor and Manhattan Associates will promptly
memorialize and execute, prior to assumption and assignment, an
amendment to a license agreement between the Debtors and
Manhattan.

             US$100,000 Adequate Protection Reserve

A US$100,000 reserve will be established in the Debtors' general
operating account as adequate protection for the claims filed on
behalf of Denton County, et al.  The liens of Denton County, et
al., if any, will attach to the Reserved Funds with the same
validity, to the same extent, and with the same priority as any
liens now hold in the property being sold.

The Reserved Funds will be in the nature of adequate protection
and will neither be a cap on the amounts recoverable by Denton
County, et al., nor will the Reserve Funds be an allowance of
their claims -- which claims remain subject to any rights of any
party to object to the validity, extent or priority of the
claims.   No portion of the Reserve Funds will be distributed
apart from the agreement of the Debtors and Denton County, et
al. or upon subsequent Court order duly noticed to Denton
County, et al.

              Payments to Hewlett-Packard Entities

Baker & Taylor will pay US$12,083 to Hewlett-Packard Financial
as cure under HPFS' lease agreement with the Debtors through
February 28.  Baker & Taylor will pay US$19,700 to Hewlett
Packard Co. as cure under HP's support agreement with the
Debtors through February 28.

Baker & Taylor will timely pay all amounts under the Lease
Agreement and the Support Agreement that come due after the
Closing Date but before a final decision on assumption and
assignment of the Agreements has been made.

None of the equipment subject to the Lease Agreement will be
considered part of the Purchased Assets under the APA.

HP, the Debtors, and Baker & Taylor agree to confer promptly to
identify the documentation that comprises the Support Agreement
subject to assumption and assignment.  If the parties cannot
agree with respect to identification of the assumed and assigned
contract or on the correct amount to be paid in connection with
the proposed assumption and assignment, the Court will rule on
the matter.

            Assumption of Indianapolis Facility Lease

The Debtors are authorized to assume and assign to Baker &
Taylor an October 10, 2000 lease for the Debtors' Distribution
Center facility in Building 140, Park 100 Business Park, 5045
West 79th Street, in Indianapolis, Indiana, subject to the
execution of a mutually acceptable amendment between Baker &
Taylor and the landlord, supplementing and modifying the lease
agreement.

Judge Sontchi says no "cure" payment under Section 365(b)(1)(A)
of the Bankruptcy Code need be paid as none exists, and Baker &
Taylor has complied with Section 365, and the Lease will be in
full force and effect without any outstanding enforceable
defaults.

The Landlord will have the right to assert a claim for damages.
The rent due to the Landlord for March 2007 will promptly be
paid by the Debtors, and, subject to the Closing of the APA,
Baker & Taylor will reimburse the Debtors for the period
commencing with the date of the Closing through March 31.

Judge Sontchi clarifies that Baker & Taylor is not a "successor"
to the Debtors or their bankruptcy estates, and will not assume,
nor be deemed to assume, or in any way be responsible for, any
liability or obligation of any of the Debtors or their estates,
including but not limited to any bulk sales law or similar
liability, except as otherwise expressly provided in the APA.

Objections not otherwise withdrawn, waived, or settled, are
overruled and denied, Judge Sontchi adds.

COLLINS & AIKMAN: Wants Stipulation with Wachovia Bank Approved
---------------------------------------------------------------
Collins & Aikman Corp. and its debtor-affiliates ask the
Honorable Steven W. Rhodes of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Michigan to approve a stipulation with
Wachovia Bank and Trust Company, N.A.

Before filing for bankruptcy, the Debtors established a trust
for paying supplemental retirement benefits to a former chief
executive officer.  The agreement underlying the C&A Rabbi Trust
provides for certain actions to be taken by the trustee,
Wachovia Bank and Trust Company, N.A., upon written notice of
insolvency of the Debtors.  The Debtors have asserted claims
against Wachovia for alleged failure to take the actions
required by the Trust Agreement.

The Trust Asset Claim includes a demand for the return of the
C&A Rabbi Trust property, and a claim of US$35,215 plus interest
related to the distribution of certain Trust Assets to the sole
beneficiary of the C&A Rabbi Trust after the trustee's alleged
receipt of the notice of insolvency.

During the course of negotiations to resolve the outstanding
issues, the parties identified certain fundamental disagreements
regarding the liability of Wachovia for its actions as trustee
as well as disagreement over the effectiveness of the service of
the notice of insolvency.

To avoid the costs and uncertainty of litigation, the parties
decided to compromise and entered into a stipulation.  The
Debtors and Wachovia agreed that, among other things:

     * Wachovia will turn over the Trust Assets to the Debtors;

     * Wachovia will provide an accounting of the Trust Assets;

     * Wachovia will pay the Debtors an additional $5,000 to
       resolve all disputes associated with respect to the C&A
       Rabbi Trust;

     * the parties release each other from any and all claims,
       damages, actions, rights or allegations arising from and
       related to the Trust Agreement, the breach claim, the
       transfer of Trust Assets, and termination of the Trust;
       and

     * the Trust is terminated.

EP DIGITAL: Mounting Debts Spur High Court to Close Business
------------------------------------------------------------
The Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice has closed
down screen and banner printing companies EP Digital and Screen
Ltd. and Print 888 Ltd. following an investigation by the
Companies Investigation Branch of the Insolvency Service.

Yeovil, England-based EP Digital and Screen Ltd. closed with
debts of GBP350,000 after the company failed to pay money owed
to its creditors.

Print 88 Ltd. succeeded EP Digital and continued in the same
trading pattern, by failing to pay over employee PAYE and
national insurance contribution liabilities and attempting to
evade other accruing liabilities.

The CIB investigation revealed that both companies were under
the control of a disqualified director Jane Catherine Bernadette
James, also known as Jane Goodfellow.  Ms. James had a history
of involvement in a string of failed screen-printing companies
over the past 15 years.

The petition to wind up the companies in the public interest was
presented on Dec. 19, 2006 under the provisions of Section 124A
of the Insolvency Act 1986 following an investigation conducted
under Section 447 and 453A of the Companies Act 1985 by the
Companies Investigation Branch of the Insolvency Service.  The
Official Receiver was appointed provisional liquidator of the
companies on that day.  The petitions were heard on Feb. 28 at
which time the companies were wound up.


EUROSAIL-UK: S&P Rates GBP12.6-Mln Class E1c & ETc Notes at BB
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its preliminary
credit ratings to the GBP585.000 million mortgage-backed
floating-rate notes, and an overissuance of GBP8.775 million
excess-spread-backed floating-rate notes to be issued by
Eurosail-UK 2007-2NP PLC.

At closing, Eurosail-UK 2007-2NP will issue the class A1, A2,
A3, M, B, C, D1, E1c, and ETc notes and use part of the proceeds
to acquire the loan pool from the sellers, Southern Pacific
Mortgage Ltd. and Preferred Mortgages Ltd.  This loan pool
comprises first-ranking mortgages on properties in England,
Wales, and Northern Ireland, and standard securities on
properties in Scotland.

The mortgage loans in the pool consist of a combination of
"near-prime" and prime mortgages.  A portion of the pool is
characterized as near-prime as these loans have been made to
borrowers with little or no adverse credit history.

Eurosail-UK 2007-2NP is the sixth transaction under the Eurosail
program.  The transaction features an interest rate cap
agreement to hedge against rising LIBOR, a discount margin
reserve to partially hedge against the risk associated with
reduced rates of interest payable on discounted loans, and a
bullet-cap reserve fund.

A fixed/floating swap will be in place to hedge certain interest
rate mismatches.  A bank-base rate swap agreement will also be
in place to hedge the mismatch between BBR-linked loans and the
issuer's LIBOR-based liabilities.

FORD MOTOR: Investors Speculate on Jaguar & Land Rover Sale
-----------------------------------------------------------
The recent sale of Ford Motor Company's Aston Martin brand has
led investors to wonder if the automaker will capitalize on the
current popularity of luxury brands and market its British
Jaguar and Land Rover units, John D. Stoll writes for the Wall
Street Journal.

As reported in the TCR-Europe on March 13, Ford has entered into
a definitive agreement to sell Aston Martin, its prestigious
sports car business, to a consortium comprised of David
Richards, John Sinders, Investment Dar, and Adeem Investment
Co., for GBP479 million (US$925 million).

Ford CEO Alan Mulally said on March 12 that the sale would help
Ford "operate profitably at lower volumes and changed model mix,
and speed development of new products."

Ford has said before that it isn't putting its Jaguar and Land
Rover brands on the market right now, although the company has
not closed the doors on a sale as it is still considering its
options, WSJ states.

Mr. Mulally revealed in January that he might consider selling
the company's Jaguar brand, threatening about 8,000 car workers'
jobs.

According to the WSJ report, analysts say there has been a
higher demand for luxury cars lately as compared with light
vehicles, signaling a marked boost in the luxury goods market.

However, selling the Jaguar and Land Rover units may prove to be
quite the challenge for Ford and potential investors, as it
would dismantle the Premier Automotive Group strategy, which the
company introduced in 1999 to cash in on the boom in luxury-car
demand, WSJ relates.

Jaguar is part of the Premier Automotive Group -- the
organization under which all of Ford's European brands are
grouped -- including other brands like Volvo and Land Rover.

Ford predicted in 2002 that the unit would contribute at least a
third of its profits by 2005.  However, the group posted a
US$327 million (EUR247 million) net loss in 2006, which is one
of the reasons why Ford's net loss ballooned to US$12.7 billion
(EUR9.6 billion), the Financial Times reports.

In Ford's second quarter results, the segment incurred US$180
million in net loss.  The company's management said the decline
in earnings in the PAG segment primarily reflected unfavorable
currency exchange related to the expiration of favorable hedges,
adjustments to warranty accruals for prior model-year vehicles,
mainly at Land Rover and Jaguar, and lower market share at Volvo
associated with new model changeovers, offset partially by
favorable product and market mix and lower overhead costs.

GENERAL MOTORS: Earns US$2.2 Billion in Full Year 2006
------------------------------------------------------
General Motors Corp. posted net income for 2006, excluding
special items, of US$2.2 billion, compared with a net loss of
US$3.2 billion in 2005, marking a US$5.4 billion improvement.

Including special items, GM had a net loss of US$2.0 billion for
2006, compared with a net loss of US$10.4 billion in the year-
ago period.  GM earned record revenue of US$207 billion in 2006,
compared with US$195 billion in 2005.

"We needed 2006 to be a big year, and it was," GM Chairman and
CEO Rick Wagoner said.  "Our performance last year reflects the
significant progress we've made toward transforming GM into a
more competitive, global business focused on long-term,
sustainable success.  The improvement is a credit to our
employees, union partners, dealers and suppliers worldwide.
It's also validation that our strategy is working, and faster
than many people thought possible."

"But nobody at GM is declaring victory, because we all know
there is still a lot more work to do to achieve our goals of
steady growth, solid profitability and positive cash flow
generation. We're confident that the momentum we generated in
2006 will continue to build through this year and beyond," Mr.
Wagoner added.

GM's net income in the fourth quarter 2006 was US$180 million
excluding special items.  These results compare to a net loss of
US$936 million in the year ago period.  Including the net
favorable effect of all special items, GM's net income was
US$950 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, compared with a
loss of US$6.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005.  GM had
revenue of US$51.2 billion in the fourth quarter 2006, compared
with US$51.7 billion in the same period a year ago, with the
decline more than accounted for by the exclusion of GMAC revenue
starting Dec. 1, 2006.

The reported results for the fourth quarter 2006 include special
items totaling US$770 million after tax.  These are primarily
attributable to gains related to GMAC transaction-related items
and the sale of the GM desert proving ground property, partially
offset by costs related to previously announced GM restructuring
items.

                     GM Automotive Operations

Net income from global automotive operations for 2006 improved
by more than US$5.7 billion, totaling US$422 million on an
adjusted basis, excluding special items (reported net loss of
US$3.2 billion).  Adjusted net income for GM's automotive
operations in the fourth quarter 2006 was US$228 million
(reported net income of US$194 million), compared with an
adjusted loss of US$1.2 billion in the year-ago period.

GM sold 9.1 million vehicles worldwide in 2006.  For the second
consecutive year, unit sales outside of the U.S. surpassed
domestic sales with almost 5 million units, or 55 percent of
global volume.  GM Europe (GME), GM Asia Pacific (GMAP), and GM
Latin America, Africa and the Middle East (GM LAAM) all set
regional sales records, with GME exceeding 2 million units, GMAP
topping 1.25 million units, and LAAM surpassing 1 million units
for the first time.

GM North America (GMNA) posted a US$5 billion earnings
improvement in 2006, with an adjusted net loss of US$779 million
(reported net loss of US$4.6 billion).  In the fourth quarter of
2006, GMNA recorded its fourth consecutive quarter of more than
US$1 billion improvement in adjusted earnings.  GMNA had an
adjusted net loss of US$14 million in the fourth quarter 2006
(reported net income of US$50 million), versus an adjusted loss
of US$1.4 billion in the same quarter 2005.  The calendar year
improvement was realized despite a 207,000 unit reduction in
GMNA production to balance inventory with deliveries, and
reflects continued significant reductions in structural costs
related to health care, manufacturing and workforce attrition,
as well as positive sales mix and the impact of the company's
product and value focused sales and marketing strategy.

GM reduced structural costs in North America by US$6.8 billion
in 2006, exceeding its target of US$6 billion, and remains on-
track to deliver the previously announced US$9 billion of annual
structural cost savings in 2007(versus 2005 structural cost
levels).  GM's progress in globalizing its product development,
powertrain and manufacturing operations, combined with
aggressive GMNA turnaround actions, are driving these
significant structural cost reductions. GM reduced its global
automotive structural cost from over 34 percent of revenue in
2005 to 30 percent of revenue in 2006, an impressive first step
toward GM's goal of cutting structural cost to 25 percent of
revenue by 2010.

"We made very significant progress in 2006 toward our 25 percent
structural cost goal," Mr. Wagoner said.  "At the same time, we
continue to invest heavily in future products, technology and
growth markets. GM plans to increase its global capital spending
from US$7.5 billion in 2006, to between US$8.5 and US$9 billion
in 2007 and 2008."

GM's commitment to quality and design leadership was reinforced
in 2006 with strong consumer and media reception to GM's newest
cars and trucks, including the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and
Cadillac Escalade full-size utilities; GMC Sierra and Chevrolet
Silverado full-size pickups; the Saturn Aura midsize sedan; Opel
Corsa small car; and the Holden Commodore fullsize sedan.  In
addition, early public reaction to the Saturn Outlook and GMC
Acadia midsize crossovers, introduced late in 2006, has been
positive.

GME posted its first full year of profitability since 1999 with
adjusted earnings of US$227 million for 2006 (reported net loss
of US$225 million).  GME had an adjusted loss of US$8 million in
the fourth quarter 2006 (reported net loss of US$119 million),
compared to net income of US$5 million in the year-ago quarter.
GME revenue in the fourth quarter 2006 was US$9 billion, up from
US$8.1 billion in the same quarter 2005.  Contributing to GME's
improved performance during the year was strong revenue growth
due to record volume of over 2 million units, and continued
structural cost reductions.

"The actions we've taken in Europe to reduce structural cost and
re-energize our product lineup is making a big impact on the
business," Mr. Wagoner noted.  "And our multi-brand approach in
Europe is really getting traction.  The Opel/Vauxhall brands are
strengthening, led by products like the all-new Corsa and
segment-leading Meriva and Zafira.  And, the Chevrolet brand
again achieved record sales, while Saab and Cadillac also
demonstrated strong growth.  And we're especially pleased with
our progress in Russia, where GM sales grew 73 percent in 2006."

GMAP delivered adjusted earnings of US$441 million in 2006
(reported net income of US$1.2 billion), compared with US$557
million in 2005, with the decline totally attributable to the
loss of Suzuki equity income in 2006, as a result of the
divestiture of most of GM's holdings in Suzuki Motor Corp.
For the fourth quarter of 2006, GMAP's adjusted earnings were
US$122 million (reported net income of US$135 million),
consistent with the same quarter 2005 earnings of US$124
million.  Record 2006 sales of GM Daewoo products
contributed to GM's continued strong performance in the region,
headlined by sales gains of 32 percent in China and 19 percent
in Korea.

"The AP region remains the core of GM's global growth strategy.
In 2006, GM advanced its leading position in China, again
improving its market share to almost 12 percent.  We also
announced plans to add a new assembly plant in India to take
advantage of opportunities in that important market, and we
continue to grow in Korea," Mr. Wagoner said.

GM's LAAM region delivered its best financial performance in 10
years with adjusted earnings of US$533 million in 2006 (reported
net income of US$490 million), an improvement of US$381 million
over 2005. GMLAAM also recorded adjusted and reported fourth
quarter earnings of US$128 million, up from adjusted earnings of
US$63 million in the same quarter of 2005.  These improvements
were driven by record revenue and volume for the region, and
significant gains at GM do Brasil.

"By cost-effectively leveraging GM's products and resources from
around the world, GM LAAM has been able to take advantage of
growth opportunities throughout the region, achieving milestone
sales of over 1 million units and impressive revenue and profit
results," Mr. Wagoner said.

                               GMAC

On a standalone basis, GMAC Financial Services reported 2006 net
income of US$2.1 billion, compared with net income of US$2.3
billion in 2005.  GMAC's operating earnings for 2006, excluding
two significant items, amounted to US$2.0 billion, compared to
US$2.7 billion of operating earnings in 2005.

For the fourth quarter of 2006, GMAC had net income of
US$1.0 billion, up from US$112 million in the fourth quarter of
2005.  The 2006 fourth quarter results include a US$791 million
after-tax benefit related to deferred tax liabilities that GMAC
transferred to GM when GMAC converted to a Limited Liability
Company (LLC). Conversely, fourth quarter 2005 results
included the impact of goodwill impairment charges of US$439
million after-tax.  Excluding the LLC benefit, GMAC operating
earnings for the fourth quarter 2006 were US$225 million,
compared to US$551 million in the year-ago period.

On November 30, 2006, GM closed the previously announced
transaction to sell 51 percent controlling interest in GMAC to
an investor consortium led by Cerberus Capital.  As a result of
the closing of the GMAC transaction, GMAC results through
November were fully consolidated in GM's reporting, and December
results were reflected on an equity income basis for GM's
remaining 49 percent interest.

After adjusting GMAC results for equity income in December,
dividends to GM on preferred stock and various transaction-
related items, GM reported an adjusted net loss of US$284
million associated with GMAC for the fourth quarter 2006, and
net income of US$1.5 billion for the calendar year.  Going
forward, GM will record GMAC results on an equity income basis.

Based on GMAC's results, GM will refund approximately US$1
billion to GMAC, in the form of a capital contribution, to
restore its adjusted tangible equity balance as of Nov. 30,
2006, to the US$14.4 billion level that was agreed upon in
conjunction with the 51 percent sale of GMAC.  The amount of the
refund reflects reduced tangible book value at Nov. 30, 2006,
principally caused by a deterioration in GMAC's Residential
Capital, LLC (ResCap) earnings, changes in GMAC deferred tax
balances and the restatement of prior financial results.

For additional details on GMAC 2006 fourth quarter and calendar-
year financial results, see the company's earnings release dated
March 13, on the company Web site at http://www.gmacfs.com/

                        Cash and Liquidity

GM achieved positive adjusted operating cash flow for the fourth
quarter 2006 of approximately US$300 million, an improvement of
US$1.4 billion compared to the fourth quarter 2005.

Cash, marketable securities, and readily-available assets of the
Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association (VEBA) Trust
totaled US$26.4 billion at December 31, 2006, up from US$20.4
billion on September 30, 2006.  In addition to the impact of
favorable operating cash flow in fourth quarter, this
reflects the impact of distributions received from the closing
of the sale of the 51 percent interest in GMAC.

                      Financial Restatements

GM previously disclosed that it had understated its
stockholders' equity as of Dec. 31, 2001, and subsequent periods
by approximately US$500 million related to deferred tax
liabilities and taxation of foreign currency translation.  GM
confirmed a final adjustment to stockholders' equity as of
January 1, 2002, of US$245 million.

GM also previously disclosed it would be restating its financial
statements for 2002 through the third quarter of 2006 largely
due to hedge accounting.  The following chart provides a summary
of the impact of the restatements on reported net income for the
2002-2006 periods.

          (US$Ms) GM Reported Net Income (after-tax GAAP)

                      Q1-Q32006    2005    2004    2003    2002

Restated results       (2,928)   (10,417) 2,701   3,525   1,735

These results had no impact on cash flow for any of the restated
periods.

GM said it will file its annual report on Form 10-K with the
Securities and Exchange Commission today.

                    US$1 Billion GMAC Settlement

As reported yesterday in the Troubled Company Reporter, GM
agreed to pay approximately US$1 billion in settlement charges
to GMAC Financial Services by the end of the first quarter in
relation to a change in the lending arm's balance sheet, John D.
Stoll of The Wall Street Journal wrote.

The cash settlement is related to the impact that problems in
the subprime mortgage segment, which focuses on borrowers with
low credit scores, have had on GMAC's book value, WSJ said,
citing people familiar with the settlement.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 1, 2006, GM
completed the sale of a 51% interest in GMAC to a consortium of
investors led by Cerberus FIM Investors LLC and including wholly
owned subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc., Aozora Bank Ltd., and The
PNC Financial Services Group Inc.

The transaction was intended to preserve the mutually beneficial
relationship between GM and GMAC, while improving GMAC's access
to cost-effective funding.  In addition, the sale of the
controlling interest in GMAC was intended to provide significant
liquidity to GM that will support its North American turnaround
plan, finance global growth initiatives, and strengthen its
balance sheet.

GETTY IMAGES: Acquires Scoopt to Enhance Site Features
------------------------------------------------------
Getty Images Inc. disclosed its acquisition of Scoopt, an
emerging source for user-generated editorial content.  Scoopt is
an aggregator and distributor of photographs and videos captured
by eyewitnesses who have an accidental front row seat to
headline-making moments.

In the coming months, news, sport and entertainment imagery from
Scoopt that meets Getty Images' stringent editorial quality
standards will be released exclusively at:

               http://www.gettyimages.com/editorial/

where it will benefit from worldwide visibility and promotional
support.

Additionally, Getty Images will invest in technology upgrades
and other enhancements to Scoopt in order to make the site more
accessible to customers, and to better position it for future
growth.

"New technology has made it easier to capture and distribute
imagery, leading to citizen photojournalism that is increasingly
relevant to the news cycle," said Jonathan Klein, co-founder and
CEO of Getty Images.  "While this genre will never replace the
award-winning photojournalism for which we're known, it's a
highly complementary offering that enables us to meet the
evolving imagery needs of a broad customer base."

Since the founding of Scoopt in 2005, the site has supplied the
media with arresting imagery from major world events, including:

  * The tragic Manhattan plane crash that killed New York
    Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle and his flight instructor in
    October 2006; digital images captured by a bystander were
    emailed to Scoopt and appeared on the front page of The
    Times of London

  * Fierce January 2006 storms in the U.K., which brought
    devastation and disruption to large parts of the country

"User-generated content is serving a valuable role in today's
communication landscape; safeguards to validate its authenticity
are critical," said Hugh Pinney, director of Editorial
Photography at Getty Images.  "By implementing rigorous quality
standards, we can deliver powerful imagery captured from a
unique perspective while ensuring journalistic integrity."

Citizen photographers who submit imagery to Scoopt retain
copyright while granting the agency a 12-month exclusive license
that authorizes re-license to one or more publishers.
Contributors will benefit from increased visibility and an
extensive network of media contacts, earning a significant
percentage of the value for each license issued.  Both Getty
Images and Scoopt encourage contributors to be respectful and
follow a code of ethics for image capture.  Submission
guidelines and additional details about Scoopt's growing
photographer community can be found at http://www.scoopt.com/

Getty Images plans to fully integrate Scoopt into its
organization, harnessing the team's knowledge of user-generated
editorial content.  "We're very much looking forward to taking
our business to the next level by collaborating with the world's
leading imagery provider," said Kyle MacRae, founder of Scoopt.
"This acquisition will exponentially expand our customer base
and establish a strong foundation for long-term growth."

The Scoopt team will continue to operate out of the site's base
in Glasgow, Scotland, servicing customers under the leadership
of Getty Images' Hugh Pinney.  Existing relationships with
Scoopt partners and affiliates will remain in place until
further notice.

Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Getty Images, Inc. --
http://corporate.gettyimages.com/-- creates and distributes
visual content.  The company has corporate offices in Australia,
the United Kingdom and Argentina.

                         *     *     *

Moody's Investors Service upgraded the credit ratings of Getty
Images, Inc. and changed the ratings outlook to stable from
positive.  The upgrade in the corporate family rating to Ba1
from Ba2 reflected Getty's leading market position, improving
credit metrics, impressive operating margins and good secular
growth trends in the stock imagery market.  Moody's also
upgraded its rating on the company's US$265 million series B
convertible subordinated notes due 2023, to Ba2 from Ba3.

The Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific reported that
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on
Seattle, Wash.-based visual imagery company Getty Images Inc.,
including lowering the corporate credit rating to 'B+' from
'BB', and placed the ratings on CreditWatch with developing
implications.

this offering is conditioned on the Phelps Dodge acquisition.

As previously disclosed, each company will hold a special

PHELPS DODGE: FCX Purchase Prompts Fitch to Cut Rating to BB-
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch assigned the ratings to Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold and
downgraded the ratings of Phelps Dodge in connection with FCX's
pending acquisition of Phelps Dodge for approximately
US$25.9 billion in cash and stock.

The transaction is subject to the approval of the shareholders
of FCX and Phelps Dodge; the vote is scheduled March 14, 2007
with closing expected March 19, 2007.  The transaction is
expected to give rise to about US$16 billion in additional debt.

Assigned:

   * Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold

      -- Issuer Default Rating 'BB';

      -- US$500 million PT Freeport Indonesia/FCX Secured Bank
         Revolver 'BBB-';

      -- US$1 billion Secured Bank Revolver 'BB';

      -- US$2.5 billion Secured Bank Term Loan A 'BB';

      -- US$7.5 billion Secured Bank Term Loan B 'BB';

      -- Existing Notes to be secured 'BB';

      -- 10.125% senior notes due 2010;

      -- 6.875% notes due 2014;

      -- 7% convertible notes due 2011 'BB-';

      -- FCX New Unsecured Notes due 2015 and 2017 at 'BB-'; and

      -- FCX Convertible Preferred Stock at B+.

   * Phelps Dodge

      -- Cyprus Amax 7.375% Notes due May 2007, to be secured
         and to be guaranteed by FCX downgraded from 'BBB' to
         'BB-';

      -- Senior Unsecured Notes and Debentures to be guaranteed
         by FCX downgraded from 'BBB' to 'BB-';

      -- 8.75% notes due 2011;

      -- 7.125% debentures due 2027;

      -- 9.50% notes due 2031; and

      -- 6.125% notes due 2034.

Phelps Dodge Bank Revolver ratings have been withdrawn.

Some US$18.7 billion in securities are affected.  The Ratings
Outlook is Stable.

The debt ratings of Phelps Dodge have been removed from Ratings
Watch Negative.

Pro Forma Dec. 31, 2006 Debt of about US$17.6 billion compares
at 2.26x pro forma 2006 EBITDA of US$7.8 billion.  Fitch notes
that earnings and cash flows are highly levered to metals prices
and US$0.20/lb. decline in copper prices could cut EBITDA by
US$800 million over a twelve month period.  In particular, the
price of copper averaged US$3.05/lb. on the London Metal
Exchange in 2006 and US$2.57/lb. for the first two months of
2007.

Liquidity is quite strong with slight usage expected on the
US$1.5 billion in revolvers for letters of credit.  Pro forma
December 31, 2006 cash balances are US$3.4 billion.

Results of both companies continue to benefit from strong metals
prices albeit at lower levels than the very high prices in 2006.
Metals prices, over the short to medium term, should allow
significant debt reduction and permit leverage to remain in a
range consistent with the ratings in a modestly lower earnings
environment.

The PT Freeport Revolver benefits from a superior security
package and therefore warrants a higher rating than the IDR.

The bank facilities and some of FCX's notes will be secured by:

   * the stock of certain domestic subsidiaries and 65% of
     certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries,

   * the intercompany indebtedness owed to FCX by its
     subsidiaries, and

   * deposits and investment accounts of FCX and will be
     unconditionally guaranteed by certain of FCX's existing and
     subsequently acquired or organized subsidiaries.

The Cyprus Amax Notes will be secured by pledges of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of Phelps Dodge's wholly
owned domestic subsidiaries and a portion of the capital stock
of Phelps Dodge's wholly owned first-tier foreign subsidiaries;
these are due in the very near term and repayment is supported
by strong liquidity.


PRINT 88: High Court Closes Down Business
-----------------------------------------
The Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice has closed
down screen and banner printing companies EP Digital and Screen
Ltd. and Print 888 Ltd. following an investigation by the
Companies Investigation Branch of the Insolvency Service.

Yeovil, England-based EP Digital and Screen Ltd. closed with
debts of GBP350,000 after the company failed to pay money owed
to its creditors.

Print 88 Ltd. succeeded EP Digital and continued in the same
trading pattern, by failing to pay over employee PAYE and
national insurance contribution liabilities and attempting to
evade other accruing liabilities.

The CIB investigation revealed that both companies were under
the control of a disqualified director Jane Catherine Bernadette
James, also known as Jane Goodfellow.  Ms. James had a history
of involvement in a string of failed screen-printing companies
over the past 15 years.

The petition to wind up the companies in the public interest was
presented on Dec. 19, 2006 under the provisions of Section 124A
of the Insolvency Act 1986 following an investigation conducted
under Section 447 and 453A of the Companies Act 1985 by the
Companies Investigation Branch of the Insolvency Service.  The
Official Receiver was appointed provisional liquidator of the
companies on that day.  The petitions were heard on Feb. 28 at
which time the companies were wound up.

VICTORIA FUNDING: Fitch Rates GBP1.9-Mln Class E Notes at BB
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings upgraded Victoria Funding EMC-III plc's Class C
commercial mortgage-backed floating-rate notes due 2014 and
affirmed all other Classes:

   -- GBP42.5 million Class A affirmed at 'AAA'
   -- GBP10.1 million Class B affirmed at 'AAA'
   -- GBP9.3 million Class C upgraded to 'AA' from 'A+'
   -- GBP9.8 million Class D affirmed at 'BBB'
   -- GBP1.9 million Class E affirmed at 'BB'

The affirmations follow a satisfactory performance review.  The
upgrade reflects improved credit enhancements resulting from
prepayments and scheduled amortization on the notes.

This transaction is a securitization of a portfolio of seven
commercial mortgage loans.  The portfolio consists of six single
property loans and one loan consisting of 13 properties, and had
an aggregate market value of GBP476.4 million at closing.  The
properties are predominantly office properties.

The loan balance has now decreased to GBP73.5 million from
GBP263 million at closing.  There was a large prepayment made at
the first interest payment date in January 2006, and
subsequently there has been scheduled amortization and a further
prepayment.  Principal payment proceeds have been made both
sequentially, in the case of scheduled amortization and the
prepayment of the Canary Wharf loan, and pro rata, in the case
of the Ashdown loan.  As a consequence of these prepayments only
five loans now remain, all single property loans.

Credit enhancement has improved as a result of the partly
sequential nature of prepayments applied to the notes.  Credit
enhancement levels for Classes A, B, C and D are now 42.2%,
28.5%, 15.8% and 2.5%.  Class E notes do not benefit from any
credit enhancement.

The loan-to-value ratio has decreased to 36.9% from 64.4% at
closing.  The interest coverage ratio is currently 4.02x, up
from 2.08x at closing.  The debt service coverage ratio has also
improved and is now 1.51x, up from 1.21x at closing.

The four bring over 85 collective years of restructuring
experience to Cadwalader's already thriving practice, having
represented debtors, creditors, lenders, and investors in
complex domestic and international business reorganizations,
debt restructurings, and distressed mergers and acquisitions in
a wide array of industries, including healthcare, automotive,

manufacturing.

Catholic Medical Centers, WestPoint Stevens, IMPATH Inc.,

Corporation, Syratech Corporation, Sunbeam Corporation, Marvel
Entertainment, Inc., Carmike Cinemas, Inc., Global Star,

They have also represented lenders, committees and major

Most recently, they have been involved in three major out-of-
court restructurings: Detroit Medical Center,; Florida
Healthplans and a major sports franchise.  They also have
extensive expertise in international cross-border
restructurings, including unparalleled experience advising
investors with regard to Chinese restructuring law.

Cadwalader Chairman and Managing Partner Robert O. Link, Jr.
stated, "We are thrilled to have these well-regarded and highly
experienced lawyers join our firm.  Their impressive record of
transactions and client base will greatly enhance our global
restructuring capacity and provide us with phenomenal
opportunities for cross-selling and growth.  We look forward to
capitalizing on the many synergies between our practices."

Bruce R. Zirinsky, the Chairman of the firm's Financial
Restructuring Department, stated, "I have worked with these
fantastic lawyers for much of my career, and am delighted to
have them join our practice.  The addition of this team of top
restructuring lawyers, with wide-ranging connections and
experience, to our already strong and diverse restructuring
practice, is a major step in accomplishing many of our strategic
goals.  It will broaden our representation of the corporations,
financial institutions and advisory firms that form Cadwalader's
core client base, substantially enhance our ability to handle a
greater number of large U.S. and multinational restructuring
matters, and add to our already deep knowledge and experience in
the health care industry.  In addition, we will be able to take
on a broader role in distressed company investments and
acquisitions, continue to capitalize on cross-border work in
collaboration with our London office, and develop a robust Asian
restructuring presence through our Beijing office."

Mr. Palmer was recently recognized by Turnarounds and Workouts
as one of the nation's "Outstanding Bankruptcy Lawyers."  He
serves as the co-vice-chair of the American Bar Association's
Business Bankruptcy Committee's Healthcare Working Group and as
a member of the New York State Bar Association's Committee on
Bankruptcy and Committee on Courts and Community.  Also an

advanced topics in bankruptcy and corporate reorganization and
lectures at many other law schools nationwide.  He is a frequent
commentator and consultant on issues relating to Chinese
bankruptcy laws.  Mr. Palmer received his B.A. from Syracuse
University and his J.D. from the University of Michigan.

Mr. Rapisardi is included in the 2007 edition of The Best
Lawyers in America and identified as "highly recommended
counsel" in the PLC Cross-border Restructuring and Insolvency
Handbook for 2006-2007.  He was also ranked in the 2005, 2006,
and 2007 editions of Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for
Business, which said Mr. Rapisardi's "star continues to rise in
the healthcare industry" and that "interviewees value his
integrity, calling him 'as honest as the day is long'."
Currently the bankruptcy columnist for the New York Law Journal
and an adjunct professor of law at Pace Law School, Mr.
Rapisardi publishes frequently and lectures extensively on a
variety of subjects, including cross-border restructurings and
Chinese bankruptcy law.  He received his B.S. from Fordham
University, his J.D. from Pace University School of Law, and his
LL.M. (with a concentration in corporate and commercial law)
from New York University School of Law.

Mr. Davis was selected for the 2007 edition of The Best Lawyers
in America.  He was also recognized as a "rising star" by
Chambers in 2005 and ranked in Chambers in 2006 and 2007, in
which it was said that Mr. Davis "stands out due to his success
in building consensus among groups with extremely different
viewpoints." Turnarounds and Workouts also named Mr. Davis as
one of the top ten outstanding young restructuring lawyers in
2005.  He is a frequent writer and speaker on restructuring
topics and an active member of the Committee on Bankruptcy and
Corporate Reorganizations of the Association of the Bar of the
City of New York.  He received his B.S., magna cum laude, from
SUNY at Binghamton and his J.D., with distinction, from Hofstra
University School of Law.

Mr. Troop has been included in The Best Lawyers in America since
2002.  He was recently honored by Nightingale Health Care News
as one of the top ten health care transaction lawyers of the
year.  He lectures regularly on a wide array of topics,
including the intersection of nonprofit and financial
restructuring laws and healthcare restructuring issues.  Mr.
Troop is committed to pro bono work, and was honored in 2006 by
the Asian American Lawyers Association of Massachusetts for his
representation of the interests of Asian and Hispanic Americans.
He received his B.A., cum laude, from Amherst College and his
J.D., cum laude, from Northwestern University School of Law.

"We are excited to bring our talents to Cadwalader's already
impressive practice.  Given our relationships and experiences
with Cadwalader's restructuring group and our shared vision
regarding the future of the practice, we believe that Cadwalader
offers a strong platform from which to make an investment in a
truly international bankruptcy practice - capabilities shared by
few firms in the world," stated Mr. Palmer.

Troubled Company Reporter each Wednesday.  Submissions via e-
mail to conferences@bankrupt.com are encouraged.

                             *********

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.  Prices
are obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources
during the prior week we think are reliable.  Those sources may
not, however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday Bond Pricing
table is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.  Prices
reported are not intended to reflect actual trades.  Prices for
actual trades are probably different.  Our objective is to share
information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy
or sell any security of any kind.  It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers'
public debt and equity securities about which we report.

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies
with insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $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
Wednesday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com/

On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed chapter
11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and
liabilities delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts.  The list
includes links to freely downloadable images of these small-
dollar petitions in Acrobat PDF format.

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book
of interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com.  Go to
http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today.

Monthly Operating Reports are summarized in every Saturday
edition of the TCR.

For copies of court documents filed in the District of Delaware,
please contact Vito at Parcels, Inc., at 302-658-9911.  For
bankruptcy documents filed in cases pending outside the District
of Delaware, contact Ken Troubh at Nationwide Research &
Consulting at 207/791-2852.
