CHIQUITA BRANDS: Posts US$95.9 Mln Net Loss in Full Year 2006
-------------------------------------------------------------
Chiquita Brands International Inc. reported a net loss of
US$95.9 million on net sales of US$4.499 billion for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2006, compared with net income of US$131.4
million on net sales of US$3.904 billion for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2005.

The increase in net sales resulted from the acquisition of      
Fresh Express in June 2005.

The operating loss for 2006 was US$28 million, compared to
operating income of US$188 million for 2005.  The 2006 results
included a US$43 million goodwill impairment charge related to
Atlanta AG and a US$25 million charge related to a potential
settlement of a previously disclosed U.S. Department of Justice
investigation.  Operating income for 2005 included flood costs
of US$17 million related to Tropical Storm Gamma and a US$6
million charge related to the consolidation of fresh-cut fruit
facilities in the Midwestern United States.  

Operating results in 2006 were significantly affected by
regulatory changes in the European banana market, which resulted
in lower local pricing and increased tariff costs, and by higher
fuel and other industry costs.  Comparisons to 2005 are also
affected by the fact that 2005 was an unusually good year for
banana pricing in Europe.  

The Fresh Cut segment was significantly affected by consumer
concerns regarding the safety of packaged salad products, after
discovery of E. coli in certain industry spinach products in
September 2006 and the resulting investigation by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration.  

Interest income in 2006 was US$9 million, compared to US$10.2
million in 2005.  Interest expense in 2006 was US$85.7 million,
compared to US$60.3 million in 2005.  The increase in interest
expense was due to the full-year impact of the Fresh Express
acquisition financing.  Fresh Express was acquired in June 2005.  

Other income was US$6.3 million in 2006 compared to other
expense of US$3 million in 2005.  Other income in 2006 included
a US$6 million gain from the sale of the company's 10% ownership
in Chiquita Brands South Pacific, an Australian fresh produce
distributor.  In 2005, other expense included US$3 million of
financing fees, primarily related to the write-off of
unamortized debt issue costs for a prior credit facility and
US$2 million of charges for settlement of an indemnification
claim relating to prior periods, partially offset by a US$1
million gain on the sale of Seneca Foods Corp. preferred stock
and a US$1 million gain from an insurance settlement.  

Income taxes were a US$2 million benefit for 2006, compared to
expense of US$3 million in 2005.  Income taxes for 2006 include
benefits of US$10 million primarily from the resolution of tax
contingencies in various jurisdictions and a reduction in
valuation allowance.  In addition, the company recorded a tax
benefit of US$5 million as a result of a change in German tax
law. Income taxes for 2005 included benefits of US$8 million
primarily from the resolution of tax contingencies and reduction
in the valuation allowance of a foreign subsidiary due to the
execution of tax planning initiatives.

                     Goodwill Impairment Charge

During the 2006 third quarter, due to a decline in Atlanta AG's
business performance in the period following the implementation
of the new EU banana import regime as of Jan. 1, 2006, the
company accelerated its testing of the Atlanta AG goodwill and
fixed assets for impairment.  As a result of this analysis, the
company recorded a goodwill impairment charge in the 2006 third
quarter for the entire goodwill balance of US$43 million.

              U.S. Department of Justice Investigation

In April 2003 the company voluntarily disclosed to the U.S.
Department of Justice that its banana-producing subsidiary in
Colombia, which was sold in June 2004, had made payments to
certain groups in that country which had been designated under
United States law as foreign terrorist organizations.  Following
this disclosure, the Justice Department undertook an
investigation, including consideration by a grand jury.  

During the fourth quarter of 2006, the company commenced
discussions with the Justice Department about the possibility of
reaching a plea agreement.  As a result of these discussions,
and in accordance with the guidelines set forth in SFAS No. 5,
"Accounting for Contingencies," the company recorded a charge of
US$25 million in its financial statements for the quarter and
year ended Dec. 31, 2006.  This amount reflects liability for
payment of a proposed financial sanction contained in an offer
of settlement made by the company to the Justice Department.

At Dec. 31, 2006, the company's balance sheet showed
US$2.738 billion in total assets, US$1.867 billion in total
liabilities, and US$870.8 million in total stockholders' equity.

Full-text copies of the company's consolidated financial
statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2006, are available for
free at http://researcharchives.com/t/s?1b67

                  Liquidity and Capital Resources

The company's cash balance was US$65 million at Dec. 31, 2006,
compared to US$89 million at Dec. 31, 2005.

Operating cash flow was US$15 million in 2006, compared to
US$223 million in 2005.  The decrease in operating cash flow for
2006 was primarily due to a significant decline in operating
results.  

Capital expenditures were US$61 million for 2006 and US$43
million for 2005.  The increase in 2006 was partially due to the
full year impact of the acquisition of Fresh Express, which
occurred in June 2005.  The 2005 capital expenditures included
US$12 million related to Fresh Express subsequent to the
acquisition.

Total debt at both Dec. 31, 2006 and 2005, was US$1 billion.

The company and Chiquita Brands L.L.C., the main operating
subsidiary of the company, are parties to an amended and
restated credit agreement with a syndicate of bank lenders for a
senior secured credit facility, which consists of a US$200
million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit
Facility"), a US$125 million term loan ("Term Loan B"), and a
US$375 million term loan ("Term Loan C").

At Dec. 31, 2006, US$44 million of borrowings were outstanding
under the Revolving Credit Facility and US$31 million of credit
availability was used to support issued letters of credit,
leaving US$125 million of credit available.

GOODYEAR TIRE: Jamaican Unit Reports US$120 Million in Losses
-------------------------------------------------------------
Goodyear Jamaica Ltd., The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.'s Jamaican
subsidiary, has lost an estimated US$120 million from the recent
fire at its Spanish Town Road plant, Radio Jamaica reports.

Goodyear Jamaica said in its audited financial statements for
2006 that inventories totaling US$120 million and office
equipment that cost US$250,000 were lost in the fire.

Goodyear Jamaica told Radio Jamaica that the inventories and
office equipment were insured through Goodyear Tire's Global
Insurance Policy.

Goodyear Jamaica's revenue increased by US$122 million to US$1.3
billion in 2006, from 2005.  However, a 20% boost in the cost of

expected to take place in April or May 2007.

During the term of the new charter, Ship Finance will receive on
average approximately US$10,000 more per day compared to the
base rate in the current charter agreement with Frontline, net
of operating expenses.

Following this sale, and after the delivery of six other suezmax
single-hull tankers previously announced sold, Ship Finance will
only have 10 single hull vessels remaining in the fleet, of
which three have double sides.  This is significantly less than
the 18 single hull vessels in the fleet only four months ago. Of
the remaining crude oil tankers without double hull, Frontline
has, as charterer, secured profitable sub-charters for seven of
the vessels, and only the three vessels with double sides are
currently traded in the spot market.

The reduction of the single hull tanker exposure is in line with
the Company's strategy of focusing on modern assets in various
shipping and offshore market segments.  Including new buildings
and recently announced acquisitions and sales, the Company's
fleet will consist of 56 vessels, essentially all on medium to
long term charters.

CB MEZZCAP: Company No. 1 Files for Insolvency in Marburg/Lahn
--------------------------------------------------------------
CB MezzCAP Limited Partnership, acting through its general
partner CB MezzCAP Limited, was informed by its Financial
Advisor that the company mentioned as Company No. 1 in the
offering circular has filed for the opening of insolvency
proceedings on March 12.

The insolvency court of Marburg/Lahn has appointed a preliminary
insolvency administrator.  The Issuer holds a participation
right in the nominal amount of EUR15 million (share of 7,92%)
that forms part of the pool of Profit Participation Agreements
backing the Notes.  The total pool has a volume of EUR189,5
million.

Company No. 1 until now has made all interests payments to the
Issuer due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Profit
Participation Agreement.  The next interest payment will fall
due on April 15.  Due to the reported financial difficulties of
the company it is likely that it defaults on its obligations
under the Participation Agreement to make payments of interest
and/or principal, which then will lead to reduced payments of
the Issuer under the Notes.

The Issuer is currently trying to get further information
regarding the reasons for the filing by the company and
evaluating the options available to it.  At present the
consequences are uncertain and a complete default must be
considered as possible.

In compliance with applicable law, the Issuer will make further
announcements after having better knowledge of the financial
situation of the Company and the impact on the Notes is
evaluated.  These announcements will be made through the
Irish Stock Exchange.

Under the assumption of a total loss of interests and principal
payments with no recoveries of Company No. 1 and if no further
losses to the portfolio are recorded before the end of the
transaction the effect on the Notes is:

                        Class F Notes

The default of Company No. 1 will constitute a Principal
Deficiency Event.  Therefore the nominal amount of EUR15 million
will be booked immediately in the Principal Deficiency Ledger,
with the consequence, that no interest payments will be made on
the payment dates from April 25, 2007 to April 25, 2010 under
the Class F Notes.

The maximum return for the Class F Notes for the term of the
transaction will fall to approximately 14.5%.

              Class A Notes to Class E Notes

The default of Company No. 1 should have no effect on the
interest payments of the Class A to Class E Notes.  The amount
of EUR15 million paid to the PDL will be repaid to the holders
of the Class A Notes over the next interest payment dates until
April 25, 2010, which corresponds to a redemption of
approximately 11.7% of the nominal amount of the outstanding
Class A Notes.

There will be no early repayment as a result of this event of
the Class B to Class E Notes.

CB MezzCAP Limited Partnership is a German SME CLO transaction.

                        *     *     *

As reported in the TCR-Europe on March 15, 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.

SPECTRUM BRANDS: Launches Exchange Offer for 8-1/2% Senior Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Spectrum Brands, Inc. intends to commence an exchange offer to
refinance the US$350 million in aggregate principal amount
outstanding of its 8-1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due Oct. 1,
2013 (CUSIP No. 755081AD8) with new senior subordinated notes
due October 2, 2013 of equal principal amount.

The company intends to commence the exchange offer by Friday,
March 16, and to consummate the initial settlement of the
exchange offer and the bank credit facility refinancing referred
to below by March 30, 2007, subject to the terms, and the
satisfaction of the conditions, described below.

The New Notes will bear interest at an initial rate of 11.00%,
increasing to 11.25% on April 1 and thereafter increasing semi
annually based on a specified schedule and other provisions.  
The New Notes will be redeemable by the company at scheduled
redemption prices, reflecting a specified premium to par
beginning immediately and declining to par on Oct. 1, 2010.

In conjunction with the exchange offer, the company plans to
solicit consents from the holders of Existing Notes to effect
proposed amendments to the indenture for the Existing Notes that
would eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants
and events of default contained therein.  The company expects
that the indenture for the New Notes will contain restrictive
covenants and events of default substantially similar to those
pertaining to the Company's outstanding 7-3/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2015, including specified provisions for
senior secured credit facilities of up to US$1.6 billion.

In connection with the exchange offer, the company has entered
into an agreement with certain holders of the Existing Notes who
previously delivered a notice of default to the company under
which such holders have agreed not to exercise any rights or
remedies which may be available to them under the indenture for
the Existing Notes in respect of and to waive alleged defaults,
to tender their notes in the exchange offer and to consent to
the proposed amendments to the indenture for the Existing Notes.  
The company has been advised that these holders own or otherwise
control a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Existing Notes.  The agreement will terminate in the
event that Existing Notes are not exchanged in the offer prior
to April 10.

The closing of the exchange offer will be subject to various
conditions, including the refinancing of the company's existing
bank credit facility and holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Existing Notes having tendered their Existing
Notes in the exchange offer, consented to the amendments to the
indenture for the Existing Notes and waived alleged defaults,
and other customary terms and conditions.

TOWER AUTO: Wants to Make Initial Payment in ERISA Settlement
-------------------------------------------------------------
Tower Automotive Inc. and its debtor-affiliates seek permission
from the Honorable Allen L. Gropper of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of New York to make a US$2 million
provisional settlement payment as part of a settlement of an
Employee Retirement Income Security Act Class Action.

The Debtors previously obtained approval from Judge Gropper to
advance up to an aggregate of US$1,500,000 in legal defense
fees, costs and related expenses incurred by the Debtors'
current and former officers, directors and employees to defend
alleged violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act Class Action.

The Debtors maintain that resolution of the ERISA Litigation is
an important aspect of their efforts to reorganize.

The Debtors and the individual defendants have been negotiating
a settlement of the Class Action Lawsuits that resolves all
potential liability of the Debtors or the Individual Defendants,
Richard M. Cieri, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in New York,
relates.

While the Settlement will be subject to review and approval by
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the
Debtors come before Judge Gropper seeking authority to make a
provisional payment pursuant to the Settlement, Mr. Cieri notes.
If the request is granted, the Debtors would execute a fully
documented settlement agreement and make the Provisional
Settlement Payment.

The salient terms of the Settlement term sheet provides that:

    (a) Upon approval of the Settlement by the District Court,
        the Debtors will deposit US$2,000,000 in a segregated
        account;

    (b) The stipulated liability under the ERISA Litigation will
        be capped at US$14,000,000, which is within the policy
        limits under the ERISA Policy;

    (c) The Debtors and the Individual Defendants would agree to
        assign to the plaintiffs in the Class Action Lawsuits
        the right to pursue the Debtors' and the Individual
        Defendants' claims against Federal Insurance Company --
        the Debtors' insurance carrier -- up to US$14,000,000,
        at the Plaintiffs' sole expense; and

    (d) If the Plaintiffs prevail against Federal in the
        Coverage Litigation, the first US$4,000,000 of any
        recovery would go to the Plaintiffs, the next
        US$2,000,000 would go to the Debtors to reimburse them
        for the Provisional Settlement Payment, and the balance
        of any recovery would go to the Plaintiffs.  Thus, so
        long as there is more than US$6,000,000 in coverage for
        the ERISA Litigation, the Debtors will be entitled to a
        full refund of the Provisional Settlement Payment upon
        the Plaintiffs' receipt of funds from Federal.

The Debtors submit that the Settlement is beneficial to their
estates and creditors, fair and equitable, and falls well within
the range of reasonableness.

Mr. Cieri also notes that in exchange for the Provisional
Settlement Payment, the Debtors will receive several important
benefits from the Settlement, including that:

    (1) The Debtors will realize significant savings by not
        continuing to fund the litigation costs associated with
        the Coverage Litigation and the ERISA Litigation.  The
        Coverage Litigation and the ERISA Litigation are both in
        relatively early stages, and given the tenor to date,
        would be very costly to conclude, and would likely
        involve significant appellate litigation;

    (2) The Settlement will provide much needed certainty to the
        Debtors and the Individual Defendants at a crucial time
        in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases.  The ERISA Litigation  
        and the Coverage Litigation have been a distraction for
        the Debtors and for the Individual Defendants, and the
        Debtors believe that their reorganization efforts would
        benefit from putting an end to this distraction and
        allowing the Debtors and the Individual Defendants to
        more fully focus on the considerable challenges at hand
        related to the Debtors' planned emergence from Chapter
        11;

    (3) The Settlement will remove a significant obstacle to the
        Debtors' ability to retain the services of the
        Individual Defendants going forward.  The Debtors expect
        that the future owners of, or investors in, their
        businesses, whomever they may be, may want to retain
        some or all of the Individual Defendants, and that the
        ERISA Litigation could be a barrier to that goal; and
     

    (4) The Debtors and the Individual Defendants will receive a
        full release of all claims arising out of, or in any way
        related to, directly or indirectly, any or all of the
        acts, omissions, facts, matters, transactions or
        occurrences during the Class Period that are, were, or
        could have been alleged, asserted or set forth in the
        ERISA Litigation related to alleged violations of ERISA.
        The release is significant because there's a risk that
        if the Individual Defendants were held liable in the
        ERISA Litigation, their liability would be as agents of
        the Debtors, exposing the Debtors to both vicarious
        liability under the theory of "respondeat superior" and
        the risk of being collaterally estopped from denying
        liability for the actions of the Individual Defendants.

                            Responses

(a) Silver Point

Silver Point Capital Fund, L.P., asserts that it neither takes
issue with the economic structure of the Settlement nor
maintains that the Settlement falls outside the "range of
reasonableness."  However, Silver Point believes that
consideration of the request should be deferred until a better
understanding of the Debtors' ability to fully satisfy the
claims of their senior creditors -- specifically, the Second
Lien Lenders -- in cash can be ascertained.

James C. Tecce, Esq., at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, in
New York, argues that the Debtors' bankruptcy cases have reached
a critical point, and paying junior creditors' prepetition
claims outside of a Chapter 11 plan before the satisfaction of
the Second Lien Lenders' claims simply is inappropriate.

"This is especially true when the US$2 million provisional
payment will not be used to satisfy claims asserted against the
Debtors," Mr. Tecce argues.

Mr. Tecce adds that at best, the Debtors may be obligated with
respect to indemnification claims asserted by the Individual
Defendants relating to the ERISA Litigation.  These claims would
arise under the Debtors' by-laws and employment agreements, and
relate to alleged prepetition misconduct.

Accordingly, Silver Point asks Judge Gropper to sustain its
objection and defer consideration of the Debtors' request.

(b) Creditors Committee

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors asks the
Bankruptcy
Court to deny the Debtors' request because:

    * The Plaintiffs' claims arose from the sale of securities,
      and the Bankruptcy Code mandates that the claims be
      subordinated to the claims of general unsecured creditors.
      Thus, payment of the Settlement, without a guarantee of
      insurance coverage, will in essence elevate the
      plaintiffs' claims above all other claims; and

    * The Settlement Payment will constitute the payment of a
      prepetition claim outside of a confirmed Reorganization
      Plan.  Courts have consistently held that payment of those
      claims should only be approved where it is essential to
      the debtors' reorganization efforts.

The Bankruptcy Court must not allow the Debtors to end run
around the bankruptcy priority scheme, and favor the Plaintiffs'
subordinate claims to the detriment of all other claimants, Ira
S. Dizengoff, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP in New
York emphasizes.

Under Section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, courts must
subordinate bankruptcy claims "for damages arising from
purchases and sales of securities of a debtor," including claims
for "reimbursement or contribution" based on those claims, Mr.
Dizengoff notes.

According to Mr. Dizengoff, even if the Plaintiffs' claims are
not subordinated pursuant to Section 510(b), they are still
merely general unsecured claims that should be paid pursuant to
a confirmed Plan.  Multiple provisions in the Bankruptcy Code
envision and demand that similarly situated creditors receive
equal treatment.

Moreover, as required by the Bankruptcy Court's prior orders,
the Debtors must be directed to seek reimbursement from Federal
of all amounts advanced, including amounts already paid, to the
Individual Defendants if the Debtors prevail in the ERISA
Coverage Litigation, Mr. Dizengoff argues.  It is premature to
allow the Debtors to pay any more amounts, including the
Settlement Payment, if there is no basis to recover those
amounts from Federal, he says.

Mr. Dizengoff maintains that the Debtors should know first if
they can recover the Settlement Payment -- plus the amounts
previously paid -- from Federal.  If the Debtors or their
assigns are successful in the ERISA Coverage Litigation, then
the proposed Settlement would have no impact on the estate.

TOWER AUTOMOTIVE: Wants Avoidance Actions Protocol Established
--------------------------------------------------------------
Tower Automotive Inc. and its debtor-affiliates previously asked
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
to enter a ruling establishing streamlined procedures for claims
and actions that are commenced by the Debtors pursuant to
Sections 502, 547, 548 and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Court requested that the motion be noticed to all defendants
in the Avoidance Actions.

On Feb. 23, the Debtors filed a similar request asking the Court
to enter an order establishing certain procedures governing all
Avoidance Actions.

Specifically, Frank A. Oswald, Esq., at Togut, Segal & Segal
LLP in New York, says the Debtors ask the Court to enter a
ruling:

    (a) eliminating the requirement of a scheduling conference
        required by Rule 7026(f) of the Federal Rules of
        Bankruptcy Procedure, and an initial pretrial conference
        under Rule 7016, and instead, set procedures and
        timetables for service of Rule 7026 disclosures;

    (b) requiring a pre-motion conference before any motion is
        filed; and

    (c) authorizing and approving omnibus procedures for the
        settlement and compromise of the Avoidance Actions,
        pursuant to which the Debtors would be permitted to
        settle a majority of the Avoidance Actions without the
        requirement of noticing all creditors or bringing all of
        the proposed settlements before the Court for approval
        pursuant to Rule 9019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
        Procedure.

Mr. Oswald notes that the Debtors have served a copy of the
present request with the summons and complaint on the defendant
in each adversary proceeding.

The Debtors, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and
their retained professionals have been working together to
determine whether any transfers made by the Debtors to third
parties within the one-year period immediately before their
bankruptcy filing, may be avoided and recovered by the Debtors
pursuant to Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, Mr. Oswald tells
Judge Kishel.

According to Mr. Oswald, the Debtors have commenced more than
400 adversary proceedings seeking to avoid and recover in excess
of US$260,000,000, and have entered into 29 tolling agreements.

Mr. Oswald asserts that absent the establishment of streamlined
procedures to govern the prosecution and settlement of the
Avoidance Actions, it will be extremely difficult and costly for
the Debtors to prosecute the Avoidance Actions in an efficient
and timely manner and equally as difficult for the Court to
administer the matters.

Mr. Oswald says by instituting certain procedures, the Debtors
will be able to minimize the administrative costs to the estates
including, among other things:

    * the cost and expense of having counsel travel to and from
      the Court for countless pretrial and scheduling
      conferences;

    * drafting Rule 9019 motions; and

    * serving every creditor with every proposed settlement,
      which could amount to hundreds of motions for approval of
      settlements.

Mr. Oswald explains that given the volume of the Avoidance
Actions that were commenced, the Debtors believe that their
request with respect scheduling conferences, pretrial
conferences, initial disclosures and motion practice are
imperative.  Absent the limitations, Mr. Oswald says, the
Court's docket will be clogged with those matters and additional
time will be consumed with reviewing and signing individual
scheduling orders in potentially hundreds of adversary
proceedings.

In addition, the Debtors seek the Court's authority to settle
and compromise Avoidance Actions in accordance with these
procedures:

    (1) For the settlement of any Avoidance Action where the
        amount demanded is US$1,000,000 and greater, the Debtors
        will, after obtaining the prior agreement of the
        Creditors Committee or its successor that the proposed
        settlement is fair and reasonable, seek for Court
        approval of the proposed settlement pursuant to Rule
        9019 on notice by regular, first-class mail upon:

         (a) counsel for the Creditors Committee;

         (b) the Office of the U.S. Trustee for the Southern
             District of New York;

         (c) the parties listed on the "Notice List" established
             by the Court's ruling establishing notice
             procedures; and

         (d) the defendant in that particular Avoidance Action;

    (2) For the settlement of any Avoidance Action where the
        amount demanded is greater than US$150,000 but less than
        US$1,000,000, after consultation with the Creditors
        Committee or its successor regarding the settlement, the
        Debtors will serve notice of any proposed settlement by
        regular, first-class mail on the Notice Parties,
        provided that if any of the Notice Parties object to a
        settlement proposed by the Debtors, and the Debtors
        still desire to enter into the proposed settlement with
        the defendant, the execution of the settlement will not
        proceed except upon:

           -- resolution of the objection by the Debtors and the
              Objecting Party; or

           -- further Court ruling after a hearing.

        The Debtors will also file notice on the Court's
        electronic docket.  If no written objection is received
        within 10 business days after the date of service of the
        Notice, the Debtors will be authorized to consummate the
        proposed settlement without further Court ruling or
        consent of any other party;

    (3) For the settlement of any Avoidance Action where the
        amount demanded is US$150,000 or less, the Debtors will
        be authorized to consummate the proposed settlement
        without further Court ruling, and without giving notice
        to, or receiving consent from any other party; and
    
    (4) The Debtors will provide a confidential bi-weekly
        settlement report to the Creditors Committee or its
        successor listing all settled actions, settlement
        amounts and claim waivers, unless the Committee or its
        successor waives the requirement.

The Debtors hope that the proposed procedures will promote
settlements because they believe proceeding in this manner may
obviate the need for defendants to retain outside counsel during
the settlement process.  Often, not having to expend substantial
resources for outside counsel is a major consideration in a
defendant's willingness to settle quickly, Mr. Oswald explains.

PARMALAT SPA: Paraguay Unit Under Probe over Poisoning Incident
---------------------------------------------------------------
Paraguayan authorities are investigating Parmalat Paraguay, a
unit of Parmalat S.p.A., following cases of food poisoning in
Alto Parana, Paraguay, Bloomberg News reports.

In a TCR-Europe report on March 16, Parmalat Paraguay recalled a
batch of pasteurized milk linked to more than 400 cases of food
poisoning in the Latin American country.  Patients reported
symptoms that include vomiting and diarrhea several hours after
drinking the milk.

The Health Ministry's National Food and Nutrition Institute had
requested shops to take Parmalat's milk off from shelves.

Elsi Ovelari, the institute's general director, told Bloomberg
News that health officials are inspecting Parmalat's plant and
are trying to determine what caused the contamination of the
milk.  Ms. Ovelari revealed that following an analysis of the
milk, the Health Ministry found the existence of a bacteria.

Ms. Ovelari said health officials and Parmalat Paraguay
executives will meet Mar. 18 to discuss the incident.

                       About Parmalat

Based in Milan, Italy, Parmalat S.p.A. --

insolvent.

On June 22, 2004, Dr. Bondi filed a Sec. 304 Petition, Case No.
04-14268, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York.

CLEAR CHANNEL: Highfields Capital Increases Stake to 5%
-------------------------------------------------------
Clear Channel Communications Inc. disclosed in a regulatory
filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission dated
March 15 that Highfields Capital Management LP now beneficially
owns a 5% stake in the company, equivalent to 24,854,400 shares
at US$0.10 par value per share.

Sarah McBride of The Wall Street Journal relates that Highfields
Capital previously held about 3% of Clear Channel's outstanding
shares.

Boston, Massachusetts-based Highfields Capital is an investment
management firm focused on identifying long-term value
investments on behalf of public and private charitable
foundations, school endowments and other institutional and
private investors.  Highfields Capital currently manages
approximately US$10 billion in investment funds.

The increase, WSJ says, citing people familiar with the matter,
indicates that the investment company wants more influence in a
coming vote on a possible privatization of Clear Channel, which
Highfields opposes.

According to WSJ, Clear Channel, along with investors Bain & Co.
and Thomas H. Lee, are offering US$37.60 a share, but many
investors, including Highfields, believe the company is worth
more.

Clear Channel shareholders of record as of March 23, 2007, are
due to vote on the issue at the special meeting, which will be
held on April 19, 2007.

Highfields is Clear Channel's second-biggest holder, the Journal
says.

JTT COMPUTER: Hearing Starts; MCI Demands PLN38-Mln Compensation
----------------------------------------------------------------
The first hearing on the PLN40-million damage suit filed by MCI
Management S.A. against the Polish government for its role in
the collapse of IT group JTT Computer S.A. commenced on
March 15, Puls Biznesu reports.

According to the report, MCI is demanding a PLN38-million
compensation from the state for the losses it incurred after JTT
went bankrupt resulting from an erroneous PLN10-million tax
charge by Wroclaw tax authorities.

As previously reported in the TCR-Europe on Oct. 4, 2006, the
group's collapse forced MCI to sell its 40% stake for PLN45,000,
which it previously acquired for PLN10.2 million.

Three other hearings will be held every week, Puls Biznesu
relates.

Headquartered in Wroclaw, Poland, MCI Management S.A. --

http://www.jtt.pl/-- manufactured computers and provided  
network services.  JTT went bankrupt in June 2004 with debts of
over PLN60 million.  Puls Biznesu says the bankruptcy came as a
result of financial problems attributed to unlawful operations
of tax authorities, which demanded PLN10 million in relation to
VAT settlement for export made by JTT and import of the same
computers with 0% VAT rate.

LEAR CORP: Faces ERISA Violations Suit Over US$2.31-Bln Sale
------------------------------------------------------------
Lear Corp. employees filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court
for the Eastern District of Michigan seeking to block the
automotive parts supplier's acquisition by billionaire investor
Carl Icahn, The Detroit News reports.

Named defendants in the suit:

     -- Roger A. Jackson  
     -- Robert E. Rossiter  
     -- James H. Vandenberghe  
     -- David E. Fry  
     -- Vincent J. Intrieri  
     -- Conrad L. Mallet, Jr.  
     -- Larry W. McCurdy  
     -- Roy E. Parrott  
     -- David P. Spalding  
     -- James A. Stern  
     -- Henry D.G. Wallace  
     -- Richard F. Wallman  
     -- Lear Corp.  
     -- American Real Estate Partners, L. P.  
     -- Carl C. Icahn  
     -- Lear Corp. Employee Benefits Committee  

In February, the company agreed to a US$2.31 billion buyout
offer from Icahn-controlled American Real Estate Partners LP.
The transaction involves Mr. Icahn paying US$36 per share for
the shares he does not already own, according to reports.

Under the terms of the agreement, Lear was allowed to solicit
alternate proposals for 45 days.

According to the lawsuit, the employees have company stock in
two retirement plans, accounting for 1.5 million shares at the
end of 2005, roughly amounting to US$45 million.

The lawsuit seeks class-action status and argues the deal would
violate the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

Besides undervaluing Lear, the lawsuit argues that the deal is
prohibited by ERISA since it would have Lear's salaried and
hourly retirement savings plans sell shares of company stock to
Mr. Icahn's affiliate.

The lawsuit states that ERISA prohibits "any transaction
involving the sale or exchange of plan assets between a plan and
a party in interest."

The lawsuit argues that Mr. Icahn's affiliate is a "party in
interest" in this case.

The suit is "Qualey v. Jackson et al., Case No. 2:07-cv-10910-
GER-RSW," filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of Michigan, under Judge Gerald E. Rosen, with referral
to Judge R. Steven Whalen.

Mich.-based Lear Corp. to 'B' from 'B+ and placed its ratings on

controlled American Real Estate Partners, L.P.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on Feb. 8,

Corporation, corporate family rating at B2, under review for

rating of SGL-2 was affirmed.


LEAR CORP: Faces Lawsuits Over US$2.31-Bln Sale to Carl Icahn
-------------------------------------------------------------
Southfield, Michigan-based Lear Corp. is facing six purported
class actions filed by certain shareholders seeking to block the
automotive parts supplier's acquisition by billionaire investor
Carl Icahn, according to the company's Feb. 27, 2007 Form 10-K
filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
period ended Dec. 31, 2006.

In February, the company agreed to a US$2.31 billion buyout
offer from Icahn-controlled American Real Estate Partners LP.  
The transaction involves Mr. Icahn paying US$36 per share for
the shares he does not already own, according to reports.

Under the terms of the agreement, Lear was allowed to solicit
alternate proposals for 45 days.

Between Feb. 9, 2007 and Feb. 21, 2007, certain stockholders
filed six purported class actions against the company, certain
members of the board of directors and American Real Estate
Partners, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (AREP).

Three of the lawsuits were filed in the Delaware Court of
Chancery and have since been consolidated into a single action.   
Another three were filed in Michigan Circuit Court.

The class action complaints, which are substantially similar,
generally allege that the Agreement and Plan of Merger unfairly
limits the process of selling Lear and that certain members of
the company's board of directors have breached their fiduciary
duties in connection with the Merger Agreement and have acted
with conflicts of interest in approving the Merger Agreement.

The lawsuits seek to enjoin the merger, to invalidate the Merger
Agreement and to enjoin the operation of certain provisions of
the Merger Agreement, a declaration that certain members of the
company's Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties in
approving the Merger Agreement and an award of unspecified
damages or rescission in the event that the proposed merger with
AREP is completed.

On Feb. 23, 2007, the plaintiffs in the consolidated Delaware
action filed a consolidated amended complaint, a motion for
expedited proceedings and a motion to preliminarily enjoin
the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The company believes that the lawsuits are without merit and
intend to defend against them vigorously.

NOVATEK OAO: Ups Total Proved Reserves to 4.7 Bln BOE in 2006
-------------------------------------------------------------
OAO Novatek disclosed that DeGolyer and MacNaughton have
completed their comprehensive reserve appraisals of the
Company's oil and gas reserves as of Dec. 31, 2006.

The Company added approximately 297 million barrels of oil
equivalent (boe) of proved reserves under the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission standards, inclusive of 2006 production,
and produced approximately 206 million boe for sale during the
year.

Estimated total proved reserves as of Dec. 31, 2006 increased to
4,664 million boe from 4,573 million boe as of year-end 2005.
Total proved reserves of natural gas increased from 641 billion
cubic meters (bcm) in 2005 to 651 bcm in 2006, an increase of 39
bcm, inclusive of 2006 production.  Of significant importance
was the growth in proved producing reserves of 929 million boe
(not including production), or 35.4%, over 2005.  In 2006, on a
barrel of oil equivalent basis, Novatek replaced 144 percent of
its production volumes from the appraised fields, or 190 percent
over a three-year period (2004 to 2006), and at year-end 2006,
the Company's reserve to production ratio (or R/P ratio) is 23
years.

NOVATEK's proved and probable reserves increased from 7,358
million boe at year-end 2005 to 7,445 million boe at year-end
2006.  The Company's estimated proved plus probable natural gas
reserves, commonly referred to as "P2", totaled 1,015 bcm in
2006 as compared to 1,006 bcm in 2005, while proved and probable
liquids reserves increased by 4.8 million tons year-on-year.

The 2006 results are based on reserve appraisal reports for
East-Tarkosalinskoye, Khancheyskoye, Yurkharovskoye,
Termokarstovoye and Sterkhovoye fields.

SEVERSTAL OAO: North American Unit Faces Air Pollution Complaint
----------------------------------------------------------------
Detroit attorney Steven Liddle filed a lawsuit in Wayne County
Circuit Court in Michigan against SeverStal North America Inc.,
a unit of OAO Severstal, the Dearborn Press & Guide reports.

The suit was filed on behalf of Melvindale residents who live in
the vicinity of the Dearborn steel plant, 3001 Miller Road, and
have been affected by discharge samples they've found on their
cars and personal property.

The suit is seeking monetary damages and changes to the plant's
emissions, which residents say are causing air pollution and
dust discharge on their personal property.

In 2005, residents in Dearborn's south-end filed a similar
lawsuit, which was settled in March 2006.  It provided that
Severstal must follow through on a modernization program, pay
US$250,000 in attorneys' and experts' fees, US$50,000 in a grant
to Salina schools and US$200,000 for a community tree planting.

Severstal also resolved violations of air-quality regulations
with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.

Severstal's upgrades, which have already begun, are expected to
span four years and total more than US$500 million in
investments.  The plant is in the process of installing a
baghouse on their C blast furnace and on the basic oxygen
furnace.  A baghouse works as a vacuum cleaner to filter out
emissions.

Also as part of the MDEQ's enforcement actions, Severstal was
required to pay a penalty of US$900,000 for past violations of
federal and state air regulations and stipulated fines of up to
US$5,000 per violation per day for any future violations of the
settlement document.

Severstal agreed to comply with the newly issued air-use permit,
permanently cease torch cutting of scrap at the facility,
implement a plan to abate emissions from on-site railcars used
for molten metal transport, install a digital camera system to
monitor visible emissions from the basic oxygen furnace, and put
in place several work practice changes leading to reduced
opacity at the facility, the MDEQ said.

Severstal NA Vice President Bill Hornberger did not return a
phone call from the Press & Guide.

GENERAL MOTORS: DBRS Holds Rating on Long-Term Debt at B Neg
------------------------------------------------------------
Dominion Bond Rating Service confirmed the ratings of General
Motors Corporation and General Motors of Canada Limited at B and
R-5 and the trends remain Negative.

General Motors Corp.'s confirmed ratings:

   * Commercial Paper Confirmed R-5 Neg

   * Convertible Debentures Confirmed B Neg

   * Ind. Dev. Empower. Zone Rev. Bds., S2004 (Issued by NYC
     Ind. Dev. Agency, Guar. by GMC) Confirmed B Neg

   * Long-Term Debt Confirmed B Neg

General Motors of Canada Limited confirmed ratings:

   * Commercial Paper Confirmed R-5 Neg
   * Long-Term Debt Confirmed B Neg

The rating actions reflect the fact that GM's financial profile
remains weak despite improved results at its North American
automotive operations.  The Negative trends indicate that the
company continues to face considerable headwinds in its
recovery.

GM has reported stronger results for the fourth quarter of 2006,
reflecting the progress made by the company in restructuring its
Automotive business, particularly in North America where the
company's Automotive operations were profitable again.  Net
income, excluding special items, at GMNA, its problematic
segment, was almost breakeven compared with a US$1.4 billion
loss in the prior-year period.  The progress in structural cost
reductions was the key driver, and an improved product mix was
also a contributing factor.

However, unit volume sales continued to decline and the
resultant low capacity utilization remains a concern.  GM was
also affected by a loss at GMAC LLC, its former wholly owned
finance subsidiary.  Weaknesses in the "sub-prime" mortgage
market in the United States have depressed the performance of
the mortgage operations of GMAC, which reported a large loss for
the quarter.  GM achieved positive operating cash flow, on an
adjusted basis, for the quarter, another favourable development.  
Liquidity at the company remains above average, with US$26.4
billion in cash and short-term marketable securities at the end
of 2006.  DBRS believes that GM should have no problem funding
its normal operations and restructuring initiatives.

GM sold a 51% interest of GMAC LLC to a consortium led by
Cerberus Capital Management on Nov. 30, 2006. As a result of the
weak performance at GMAC, GM will refund approximately US$1
billion to GMAC, in the form of a capital contribution, to
restore GMAC's adjusted tangible equity balance as of Nov. 30,
2006 to the US$14.4 billion level that was agreed upon in the
sale agreement.  DBRS believes that this unexpected payment,
although a negative, would not have a material impact on the
company's ability to meet its funding needs.

GM has also announced that it has restated its stockholders'
equity as of Dec. 31, 2001 by US$245 million related to deferred
tax liabilities and taxation of foreign currency transactions.
In addition, the company had also restated its financial
statements for 2002 through to the third quarter of 2006,
largely due to hedge accounting.  The adjustments had no impact
on cash flow for any of the restated periods.  However, similar
to last year, these restatements may lead to issues with various
existing financing agreements such as sale/leasebacks and
leases.  Nevertheless, DBRS believes that, based on the
experience in 2006, the current restatements are not likely to
cause problems for GM.

Despite the recent improvement, DBRS notes that the company's
financial profile remains weak.  GM still faces significant
headwinds to turn around its North American Automotive
operations. Challenges affecting GM include:

   1. Labour negotiations at Delphi Corporation, GM's largest
      parts supplier and a former subsidiary, are still ongoing,
      although labour tension at Delphi has eased significantly
      recently, reducing the odds of an extended strike but the
      risk still exists.

  2. GMNA has been ineffective in stopping its market share
     decline.  Stabilizing market share is critical to GMNA's
     turnaround.

  3. Capacity utilization at GMNA remains unsatisfactory despite
     its ongoing downsizing efforts.

  4. The large legacy cost burden, high wage rates and employee
     benefit costs and the costly "jobs bank" for temporarily
     laid off workers make GMNA one of the highest cost
     automobile manufacturers. The restrictive labour contract
     and a large number of inflexible production lines also
     limit GMNA's ability to improve operating efficiency.

  5. GMNA used to benefit from price concessions from suppliers.  
     With weakening financial health at most parts suppliers, as
     evidenced by a number of bankruptcy filings recently,
     further price concessions would be difficult to achieve.

Moreover, prices from some weak suppliers are more likely to
rise to protect the supply base.  In addition, the continuing
high commodity prices further add to GMNA's cost base.

DBRS notes that there are a number of positive developments
supporting the current ratings.  GM is on track to achieve its
structural cost reduction target of US$9 billion in 2007.  
The reception of the new models has been encouraging, and a
strengthening product cadence should help GM to stabilize its
market share.  The company continues to have an above-average
liquidity position.

DBRS notes that, going forward, GM's ratings are largely
dependent on the continuing progress at GMNA, which has become
more difficult due to the high risk of a slowdown in vehicle
demand in North America due to a sharp decline in the housing
market, still-high gasoline prices and high interest rates.  The
upcoming contract negotiations with the UAW in September 2007
will be another key event affecting GMNA.  A lack of meaningful
progress in GMNA would likely lead to downgrades of the current
ratings.

HMV GROUP: Trading Conditions Deteriorate; Eyes Strategic Review
----------------------------------------------------------------
HMV Group plc provides update on its current trading and
strategic and operational review.

"The markets in which we operate are undoubtedly very
challenging," Simon Fox, Group Chief Executive, said.
"Waterstone's and HMV are great brands, but have not adapted
quickly enough to the way customers are now buying and consuming
media.  Our performance has suffered as a consequence."

"The three-year transformation plan which I will outline
[Tues]day is exciting, radical and far-reaching.  There is a
great deal to do and I have every confidence that this plan will
turn the business around," Mr. Fox added.

                      Current Trading

Since the Group's last trading update in January, trading
conditions have deteriorated further, particularly in the
overseas markets and at Waterstone's.

In HMV U.K. & Ireland, although sales have performed in line
with the most recent disclosure, with continued market share
gains in all product categories, the planned improvement of
gross margin and some of the targeted cost savings have not been
delivered.  Recognizing this, further changes have been made to
HMV U.K. management and the Group is confident that these
initiatives will now begin to gain traction, although the
improvements will not be evident until the new financial year.

The remaining seven weeks of the financial year include the U.K.
launch of the Sony PlayStation 3 games console and Easter.
However, given the above factors the Board has taken a cautious
view for the balance of the year and it now expects full year
profits to be below the current range of market expectations.

               Strategic and Operational Review

Simon Fox was appointed Chief Executive of HMV Group plc on
Sept. 28, 2006.  Since then, the management team has undertaken
a comprehensive review of operations to identify strategies for
revitalizing the Group's businesses over the next three years,
particularly relating to the U.K.  The results of this work,
together with the financial impact for the Group and its capital
structure, are covered below.

The Board expects the markets in which the Group operates to be
subject to significant structural change, with the total music
and DVD markets continuing to decline, and growth in the books
market coming from the online channel.

In addressing these issues, the Board has identified three key
areas of focus:

    * Saving -- driving cost efficiency;
    * Protecting -- revitalizing the core business; and
    * Growing -- establishing new channels.

Saving -- driving cost efficiency

Cost savings of GBP40 million per annum will be achieved by
2009/10 by simplifying the HMV U.K. and Waterstone's supply
chains, maximizing Group purchasing and head office synergies
and from the review of the U.K. store portfolio.

Protecting -- revitalizing the core business

    * HMV U.K. will launch an enhanced range of portable digital
      products from suppliers including Apple, Bose, Samsung and
      Sony.

    * A new HMV store format of the future is being developed
      and will be trialed from autumn 2007.

    * Waterstone's will grow its children's book proposition and
      will offer a range of high quality gift stationery.

    * A loyalty card to drive spend across both brands and all
      channels will be rolled out during 2007/08.

Growing -- establishing new channels

    * HMV will launch a social networking site for music, film
      and games enthusiasts, providing revenue streams from
      advertising, sponsorship and paid-for content.  Strategic  
      content partnerships have been agreed with Universal Music
      and 20th Century Fox.

    * HMV U.K. is partnering with 3, the U.K.'s leading mobile
      music retailer to provide content to 3's 3.75 million
      subscribers.  A number of HMV's larger U.K. stores will
      also 3 in-store concessions.

    * Growth in HMV.co.uk and Waterstones.com will be
      accelerated by increased marketing, enhanced functionality
      and closer integration with stores.

    * HMV.co.uk will become 20% of HMV U.K. sales by 2010, and
      Waterstones.com 9% of Waterstone's sales.

As over 80% of the Group's profit is made in the U.K., strategic
and operational review will be focused on U.K. markets.  
However, a strategic review of operations in Japan is underway.
An update will be provided at the Group's preliminary results in
June.

Cash flow, dividend and capital structure

Capital expenditure will remain at GBP50-55 million per year.  
Expenditure on new initiatives will be financed by savings from
reduced new store openings.

The current market expectation for the full year dividend is
currently covered by earnings and free cash flow but at levels
below previous guidance.  The Board intends to rebuild dividend
cover to around 2.0x within three years.

The Group's gearing levels are currently above existing guidance
levels.  However, it is the Board's intention to return to
existing guidance levels within 2-3 years.

Headquartered in Maindenhead, United Kingdom, HMV Group PLC --

being those of the United Kingdom, Japan and Canada.

                        *     *     *

On March 31, 2005, the Group completed a refinancing of its
senior bank facilities, creating a more efficient capital
structure.  A five-year GBP260 million revolving credit facility
was arranged, replacing an existing GBP150 million revolving
credit facility, together with outstanding term debt of GBP160
million which was repaid in full.  Consequent to the
refinancing, GBP2.7 million of unamortized deferred financing
fees were written-off in the financial year to April 30, 2005,
as a non-cash exceptional interest charge.

For the 26 weeks ended Oct. 28, 2006, HMV posted GBP26.1 million
in net losses compared with GBP100,000 in net profit for the
same period in 2005.

At Oct. 28, 2006, the company's balance sheet showed GBP53.8
million in stockholders' deficit, compared with a GBP49.7-
million deficit at Oct. 29, 2005.

The company's Oct. 28, 2006 balance sheet also showed strained
liquidity with GBP423.3 million in total current assets
available to pay GBP734.5 million in total liabilities coming
due within the next 12 months.

IRON MOUNTAIN: S&P Rates Proposed US$800-Mln Facilities at BB
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned a bank loan rating
of 'BB' and a recovery rating of '1' to the proposed US$800-
million credit facilities of Iron Mountain Inc. (BB-/Stable/--),
indicating high expectation of full recovery of principal in the
event of a payment default.

The credit facilities consist of a US$600-million revolving
credit facility due 2012 and a US$200-million term loan due
2014.  Proceeds from the proposed transaction will be used to
repay existing debt and for general corporate uses.

At the same time, we affirmed all existing ratings, including
the 'BB-' corporate credit rating, on the company. The outlook
is stable.  Boston-based Iron Mountain had total debt
outstanding of about US$2.7 billion.

Iron Mountain provides warehouse storage of paper-based files,
management of electronic records, and other related services,
such as shredding.

"The ratings reflect Iron Mountain's high debt leverage, history
of debt-financed acquisitions, and aggressive financial
policies, and the capital intensity of the record storage
business," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Andy Liu.

These factors are only partially offset by Iron Mountain's
leading position as the world's largest record management
company and fairly stable growth from existing and new customer
accounts.

REVLON INC: Posts US$5.5 Million Net Loss in Fourth Quarter 2006
----------------------------------------------------------------
Revlon Inc. reported its results for the fourth quarter and full
year ended Dec. 31, 2006

Net loss for the fourth quarter was US$5.5 million against net
income of US$64.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.  Net
loss for the full year was US$251.3 million versus a net loss of
US$83.7 million in 2005.

                       Fourth Quarter Results

The company's net sales in the fourth quarter of 2006 declined
to US$378.9 million, compared with net sales of US$437.8 million
in the fourth quarter of 2005.  This decline was primarily
driven by lower shipments, partially offset by lower returns,
allowances and discounts.  Excluding the favorable impact of
foreign currency, net sales in the fourth quarter of 2006
declined 13.8% versus year-ago.  The fourth quarter of 2005
benefited significantly from the sell-in associated with the
complete re-stage of the Almay brand and the launch of the Vital
Radiance brand.

                           U.S. Net Sales

Net sales for the quarter declined to 227.1 million, versus
US$286.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.  This
performance was driven by lower shipments in color cosmetics,
partially offset by lower returns, allowances and discounts, and
higher shipments in the beauty care businesses.  As noted above,
the fourth quarter of 2005 benefited significantly from the
sell-in associated with the Almay re-stage and the launch of
Vital Radiance.

                       International Net Sales

Net sales for the quarter were essentially even at US$151.8
million, versus US$151.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Double-digit growth in Latin America was offset by low-single-
digit declines in Asia Pacific and Europe.  Excluding the impact
of foreign currency translation, International net sales in the
quarter declined by approximately one percentage point versus
year-ago.

Operating income in the fourth quarter was US$70.1 million,
against operating income of US$99.6 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005.  Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2006
was US$108.2 million, compared with Adjusted EBITDA of US$126.8
million in the same period last year.  Operating income and
Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2006 were negatively
impacted by US$20.8 million and US$9.7 million, respectively, as
a result of the previously announced February 2006 and September
2006 restructuring programs and the discontinuance of the Vital
Radiance brand.

Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2006 was US$5.5 million
compared with net income of US$64.3 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005.

Net cash used for operating activities in the fourth quarter of
2006 was US$13.9 million, compared with net cash used for
operating activities of US$23.8 million in the fourth quarter of
2005.  This performance reflected the higher net loss in the
fourth quarter of 2006, offset by an overall improvement in the
levels of working capital.

During the quarter, the company continued to successfully
implement its disclosed organizational streamlining, as well as
its previously disclosed discontinuance of Vital Radiance, which
did not maintain an economically feasible retail platform for
future growth.  Revlon reiterated its belief that the
restructuring actions taken during 2006 and the discontinuance
of Vital Radiance will accelerate the company's path to becoming
net income and cash flow positive.  The total impact of
restructuring charges, Vital Radiance and executive severance
negatively impacted full year 2006 operating profitability by
approximately US$145 million and Adjusted EBITDA by
approximately US$123 million.

Revlon President and Chief Executive Officer David Kennedy
stated, "Our results for the year reflect the important and
costly decisions we have made to position Revlon for future
success.  We are fortunate to have such a strong portfolio of
brands, particularly the Revlon brand, which we intend to fully
leverage going forward.  As we move into 2007, we will continue
to concentrate on bringing innovation and excitement to the
market in a way that is intensely focused on improving our
profitability and cash flow.  We remain confident in our ability
to achieve Adjusted EBITDA of approximately US$210 million in
2007."

                         Recent Financing

In December 2006, the company successfully refinanced its
2004 credit agreement and extending the maturity of the credit
agreement to January 2012.  In refinancing the credit agreement,
the company entered into a new US$840 million term loan facility
with a maturity of January 2012 and an amended and restated
revolving credit agreement, extending the maturity of the
existing US$160 million multi-currency revolving credit facility
through January 2012.  The interest rate on the new term loan
facility, which was fully drawn at Feb. 28, was reduced by 200
basis points.  The interest rate on the revolving credit
facility, which was undrawn at Feb. 28, was reduced by 50 basis
points.

In January 2007, the company completed a significantly over-
subscribed US$100 million rights offering, which it launched in
December 2006.  The proceeds from the offering were used to
redeem US$50 million in aggregate principal amount of its 8-/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes, reducing the outstanding balance of
these notes to US$167.4 million, and to repay all of the
approximately US$43.3 million of indebtedness then outstanding
in January 2007 under the revolving credit facility, with the
balance of approximately US$5 million, after fees and expenses,
being available for general corporate purposes.  Also, effective
upon the consummation of the US$100 million rights offering,
US$50 million of the line of credit from MacAndrews & Forbes
will remain available through Jan. 31, 2008.

SOLUTIA INC: Dec. 31 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by US$1.4 Billion
----------------------------------------------------------------
Solutia Inc. and its debtor and non-debtor subsidiaries reported
net income of US$11,000,000 on US$2,905,000,000 of net sales for
the year ended Dec. 31, 2006, compared with net income of
US$8,000,000 on US$2,759,000,000 of net sales for the prior
year.

Solutia's net cash flow was US$43,000,000 in 2006, compared with
a negative cash flow of US$8,000,000 in 2005.  Solutia held
US$150,000,000 in cash at Dec. 31, 2006, compared to
US$107,000,00 during the same point in 2005.     

Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Debtors' auditors, notes that the
financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
company will continue as a going concern.  However, Deloitte
notes, the company's recurring losses from operations, negative
working capital, and shareholders' deficit raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The
financial statements do not include adjustments that might
result from the outcome of the uncertainty.

SOLUTIA INC: Spat Over Exclusive Filing Extension Continues
-----------------------------------------------------------
Last month, Solutia Inc. and its debtor-affiliates sought
further extension of their exclusive periods to file a
Chapter 11 plan of reorganization through and including
April 30, 2007, and to solicit acceptances of that plan through
and including June 29, 2007.

Subsequently, among various parties that filed responses to the
Debtors' motion, the Ad Hoc Committee of Solutia Noteholders
asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York to deny the requested extension.  

The Noteholders argued that the Debtors' request is not
supported by real progress in the Chapter 11 cases, and the
justifications given for extending exclusivity are hollow.

                    Debtors Slam Noteholders

Undisputed facts show that the Debtors have made significant
progress toward emerging from Chapter 11 and have accomplished
what the Court asked it to do at the November 16, 2006 hearing
on exclusivity, Jonathan S. Henes, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis
LLP, in New York, states.

The only thing Solutia, Inc., et al., has not done since the
November 2006 hearing on the Debtors' request for extension is
persuade the Ad Hoc Committee of Solutia Noteholders to engage
in good faith, confidential negotiations with Solutia and its
stakeholders, Mr. Henes tells the Court.  The Noteholders cannot
have it both ways -- simultaneously refusing to negotiate with
the Solutia and its stakeholders while decrying the supposed
lack of progress in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases, he argues.

Each of Solutia's major stakeholders, other than the Noteholders
-- the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, Official
Committee of Retirees, Official Committee of Equity Security  
Holders and Monsanto Co. -- support the Debtors' request for an
extension of their exclusive periods to file, and solicit
acceptances of, a reorganization plan.  Once again, the
Noteholders Committee is the lone party objecting to the
Debtors' exclusivity, Mr. Henes notes.

The Noteholders Committee claims that the Dec. 8, 2006 plan term
sheet "failed to move the parties closer together and never
became the focus of plan discussions."  Mr. Henes says that in
an effort to stimulate negotiations, and in recognition of the
risks of the unresolved adversary proceeding commenced by Equity
Committee against JPMorgan Chase Bank, as indenture trustee,
Solutia provided the Noteholders with a term sheet outlining a
compromise stand-alone plan of reorganization predicated on the
Court's 50/50 assessment of the risks attendant to all parties
from the JPMorgan Adversary Proceeding.

The proposal provided the Noteholders with an 80.2% recovery,
which has a 26% premium to the recovery proposed for Solutia's
general unsecured creditors, but the Noteholders refused to
engage in any negotiations with the Debtors or their official
committees, Mr. Henes tells the Court.

The Noteholders Committee asserts that the improvement in its
recovery is the result of financial gamesmanship as opposed to
the reallocation of real value or improvements in Solutia's
business operations.

As the Debtors clearly disclosed in their Exclusivity Request,
the term sheet assumes a higher equity value than the disclosure
statement, filed on Feb. 14, 2006, to their Plan, of
Reorganization.  The Noteholders' objection is a proverbial "red
herring," Mr. Henes contends.  The actual equity value will be
determined by the Court or through the sale process, he states.

The Noteholders Committee also attacks Solutia's exploratory
sale process, conveying decidedly false impression that the
Noteholders' professionals have not been involved in discussions
regarding the sale process and have not been provided with all
available confidential information concerning the sale process
and its progress, Mr. Henes says.

In consideration of the Court's and their stakeholders' concerns
regarding the sale process, the Debtors pushed back the
timetable for the sale process so that indications of interest
would be due in late December 2006.  The Debtors also met with
each of their major stakeholders, including the Noteholders, to
discuss the sale process, Mr. Henes relates.  The discussions
resulted in constructive comments and suggestions, which were
incorporated into the sale process.

The exploratory sale process was successful.  The Debtors
received indications of interest that would allow it to proceed
with a viable alternative to a stand-alone plan based on a sale.  
Solutia also identified a second sale alternative premised on
the sale of certain of Solutia's businesses and a reorganization
around the remaining businesses.  Mr. Henes informs the Court
that Solutia is analyzing and evaluating its options and will
continue to work with its stakeholders and prospective
purchasers to develop and alternative sale-based plan that would
be supported by the constituents.

The Noteholders' repeated opposition to the continuation of the
Debtors' exclusive periods is an exercise in futility because
they are not in position to propose a viable, confirmable plan
of reorganization, Mr. Henes maintains.

Mr. Henes asserts that there is no prejudice to the Noteholders
or any other stakeholders from extending the Exclusive Periods
to allow the recently commenced talks between the Noteholders
Committee and Monsanto to continue or for Solutia to continue to
pursue the sale alternatives.  He notes that Solutia's exclusive
right to file a plan and solicit acceptances does not preclude
the Noteholders or any other stakeholders from continuing to
propose restructuring alternatives for the estate.

Mr. Henes warns that termination of the Exclusive Periods at
this juncture would be highly detrimental to the Chapter 11
cases and Solutia's businesses.  Solutia believes that a
clarification of the legal rights of its creditors is necessary,
through a ruling on the JPMorgan Adversary Proceeding, to
resolve the issues impeding Solutia's progress to confirm a
Chapter 11 plan.

SOLUTIA: Purchase Price Set at US$212.5 Million in Flexsys Deal
---------------------------------------------------------------
In February, Solutia Inc. reached a definitive agreement to
purchase Akzo Nobel N.V.'s stake in Flexsys, the 50%/50% rubber
chemicals joint venture between Akzo Nobel and Solutia.

In a Form 10-K filed by Solutia with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, the transaction agreement provides for the
sale by Akzo of its interest in the Flexsys joint venture to
Solutia for an initial purchase price of US$212,500,000 subject
to various adjustments.  The transaction is subject to
conditions, including approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of New York and the finalizing of the
purchase agreement for Akzo's Crystex manufacturing operations
in Japan.

Solutia will fund the acquisition through a combination of
sources, including a portion of its debtor-in-possession
financing package.

Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, Akzo, and Flexsys and
Solutia, including their affiliates and representatives, have
agreed, subject to certain limitations and exclusions, to
indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and in
respect of any losses and liabilities arising out of any
breaches of representations, warranties or covenants contained
in the Transaction Agreement.

Akzo also agreed, subject to certain exceptions, that for a
period of five years after the closing of the Transaction
Agreement, neither it nor its affiliates will compete with the
Flexsys business and for a period of three years, will not
solicit for employment certain Flexsys employees.

In addition to customary termination rights, the Transaction
Agreement may be terminated before closing by Akzo or Solutia if
the closing has not occurred on or before May 25.

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
US$3 per share in public markets.  At first glance, this list
may look like the definitive compilation of stocks that are
ideal to sell short.  Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example,
reported at historical cost net of depreciation may understate
the true value of a firm's assets.  A company may establish
reserves on its balance sheet for liabilities that may never
materialize.  The prices at which equity securities trade in
public market are determined by more than a balance sheet
solvency test.

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

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.
