Lear Corporation sent a letter Wednesday to the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware disclosing that it is not in
discussions with any third party regarding a potential
acquisition proposal on more favorable terms than American Real
Estate Partners, L.P.'s offer.

Reuters relates that American Real Estate Partners, an affiliate
of Carl Icahn, has offered US$36 per share, or US$2.86 billion,
for Lear.

In an effort to look for competing offers, Lear said it has been
in discussions with Tata Autocomp Systems Ltd. since March 18,
however, all of its "extensive efforts have not yielded even a
non-binding proposal" from Tata.

A shareholder vote on Icahn's offer has been scheduled for
June 27, Reuters says.

Headquartered in Southfield, Michigan, Lear Corporation (NYSE:
LEA) -- http://www.lear.com/-- supplies automotive interior

ADVANCED MEDICAL: Product Recall May Hold Expansion Plans
---------------------------------------------------------
Results from an inquiry by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention may deter plans of Advanced Medical Optics Inc.'s
CEO James Mazzo for expansion, according to Julie Creswell of
the New York Times.

A day after expressing interest to buy rival Bausch and Lomb
Inc., AMO received information from CDC that its Complete(R)
MoisturePlus(TM) contact lens solutions caused eye infections.
AMO immediately and voluntarily recalled its contact lens
solutions.

CDC data was made available to AMO showing that it had completed
interviews with 46 patients who had developed Acanthamoeba
keratitis, from Acanthamoeba, a naturally occurring water-borne
organism which can contribute to serious corneal infections,
since January 2005.  A total of 39 of these patients were soft
contact lens wearers, 21 of whom reported using Complete(R)
MoisturePlus(TM) products.  The CDC estimates a risk of at least
seven times greater for those who used Complete(R)
MoisturePLUS(TM) solution versus those who did not.

While AMO continues to work with the CDC and the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration to further assess the data, it is acting
with an abundance of caution to voluntarily recall Complete(R)
MoisturePlus(TM) from the market.  There is no evidence to
suggest that the voluntary recall is related to a product
contamination issue and this does not impact any of AMO's other
contact lens care products, including our family of hydrogen
peroxide disinfecting solutions.  As patient safety is paramount
to AMO, the company is taking decisive action to stop shipments,
recall product from the marketplace, and encourage consumers to
discontinue the use of AMO Complete(R) MoisturePlus(TM) until
further information is available. Given the potential
seriousness of the reported Acanthamoeba infections, AMO is
working in close partnership with the CDC, the FDA and others to
make sure consumers are aware of the need for proper contact
lens disinfection and proper lens handling.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Nov. 23, 2006,
AMO anticipated a financial impact associated with its
voluntarily recall of certain eye care product lots and the
related manufacturing capacity constraints caused by a
production-line issue at its manufacturing plant in China.

AMO expected the recall to reduce revenue for the
remainder of 2006 and 2007 by a total of $40 million to
$45 million.  This is due to expected product returns, supply
shortages and temporary lost market share, primarily in Japan
and Asia Pacific where the vast majority of products produced at
the China facility are shipped.

Consumers who believe they are in possession of the recalled
product should discontinue use immediately and call 1-888-899-
9183.  The company is currently contacting retailers, customers
and distributors regarding return and replacement instructions.
Reply cards and mailing slips are being provided for return of
product.  Retailers may also call 1-888-899-9183 for more
information.

AMO employs approximately 3,600 worldwide.  The company has

ADVANCED MEDICAL: Recall Prompts Moody's to Review Low-B Ratings
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed the ratings of Advanced Medical
Optics, Inc. on review for possible downgrade following AMO's
announcement that it voluntarily withdrew its Complete
MoisturePlus contact lens solution based on information received
from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
regarding Acanthamoeba keratitis infections from Acanthamoeba
microorganism.

Acanthamoeba is a microorganism commonly found in water, soil,
sewage systems, cooling towers, and heating/ventilation/air
conditioning systems.  AK is a rare, but serious, infection of
the cornea.  For the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2006, the
Complete MoisturePlus contact lens solution accounted for
approximately US$105.7 million, or 10%, of consolidated sales.

Recently, AMO announced its intention to enter the "go shop"
process for Bausch & Lomb Incorporated.  The company has
announced only the intention and has not officially entered a
bid for BOL.

Sidney Matti, Analyst, stated that, "The review for possible
downgrade will focus primarily on the financial effects, both
revenue and cost, associated with the recall of the Complete
MoisturePlus product and the possible consequences for the
company's financial flexibility."

These ratings were placed on review for possible downgrade:

   -- B1 Corporate Family Rating;

   -- B1 Probability of Default rating;

   -- Ba1 (LGD2/14%) rating on US$300 million senior secured
      revolver due 2013;

   -- Ba1 (LGD2/14%) rating on US$450 million senior secured
      term loan B due 2014;

   -- B1 (LGD4/50%) rating on US$250 million senior subordinated
      notes due 2017; and

-- B3 (LGD5/81%) rating on US$251 million convertible senior
   subordinated notes due 2024.

of the future of the global ophthalmic market were integral to

DAIMLERCHRYSLER: Executive Says Russia a Key Market for Chrysler
----------------------------------------------------------------
DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group, which the company recently
sold to Cerberus Capital Management LP, plans to strengthen its
presence in Russian car sales and production, a top Chrysler
executive told Automotive News Europe in an interview, Reuters
notes.

"If you look at our worldwide presence, then Russia is a key
market for us," said Michael Manley, Chrysler's executive vice
president of international sales and marketing.

Chrysler is currently exploring possible partnerships with
Russian companies, the report said.  Mr. Manley projects
Chrysler's international sales could double to 400,000 vehicles
by 2012.  The U.S. automaker said it doubled its Russian car
sales to 4,021 in 2006 compared with 2005 and had seen early
2007 sales up by 93 percent year-on-year.

DAIMLERCHRYSLER AG: MAN and Freightliner Settle ERF Case
--------------------------------------------------------
[CPR/Misty]
MAN AG has reached an agreement with DaimlerChrysler AG's
Freightliner division, in the litigation with the group in USA
and Canada, that settles MAN's claims for damages in connection
with the financial fraud committed at ERF, a British truck maker
taken over by MAN.  The settlement provides that Freightliner
shortly pay an indemnity of GBP250 million (EUR370 million) to
MAN.

Back in 2000, MAN had taken over ERF from Canada's Western Star,
a company shortly afterwards acquired by Freightliner.  After
the ERF acquisition, it emerged that ERF's financial statements
and thus its value had been severely and fraudulently
manipulated and misrepresented.

In 2002, MAN sued Freightliner as Western Star's legal successor
for damages of around GBP300 million.  While MAN had been
successful in the actions brought before British and US courts,
time-consuming and costly actions before higher-instance courts
in Britain and the US nonetheless awaited MAN, and these are now
avoided by the settlement.

AES CORP: Unit Sells Stake in Two Calif. Power Plants to Covanta
----------------------------------------------------------------
The AES Corporation disclosed that its wholly owned subsidiary
AES Central Valley, L.L.C. has agreed to sell its 100% indirect
interest in two biomass fired power plants in California (the 50
megawatts Delano facility and the 25 megawatts Mendota facility)
and an associated biomass fuels management company to Covanta
Holding Corporation for US$51 million.

"The sale of the Central Valley Businesses reflects our
commitment to portfolio management in our businesses," said
David Gee, AES Executive Vice President and President, North
America region.  "While we are committed to growing our
portfolio, including renewable generation assets such as
biomass, this transaction represented a compelling opportunity
to deliver value to our shareholders."

The sale is subject to certain regulatory approvals and to
customary purchase price adjustments.  The transaction is
expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2007.

                         About AES

AES Corporation -- http://www.aes.com/-- is a global power
company, with 2006 revenues of US$12.3 billion.  The company
operates in South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and the
Caribbean countries.  Generating 44,000 megawatts
of electricity through 124 power facilities, the company
delivers electricity through 15 distribution companies.

AES has been in Eastern Europe for nearly ten years, since it
acquired three power plants in Hungary in 1996.  Currently, AES
has two distribution companies in Ukraine, which serve 1.2
million customers and generation plants in the Czech Republic
and Hungary.  AES is also the leading company in biomass
conversion in Hungary, generating 37% of the nation's total
renewable generation in 2004.

                          *     *     *

In March 2007, Fitch has affirmed AES Dominicana Energia
Finance, S.A.'s foreign currency Issuer Default Rating at 'B-'.
Fitch said the rating outlook is stable.

Fitch has also affirmed the 'B-/RR4' rating of the company's
US$160 million of senior unsecured notes due 2015.  The notes
are jointly and severally guaranteed by AES Dominicana's two
operating companies, AES Andres B.V. and Dominican Power
Partners.  In addition, the notes benefit from a six-month debt-
service reserve account and a US$23.5 million guarantee from AES
Corp., rated 'B+' by Fitch.  The 'RR4' recovery rating reflects
the Dominican Republic's recovery rating cap.

At the same time,  Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that
The AES Corp.'s (BB-/Stable/--) announcement that it would delay
the release of its 2006 10-K, that it would restate previous
financial statements because it has discovered certain errors
mostly related to previously identified material weaknesses, and
that it is reviewing its accounting for long-term compensation,
does not immediately affect the company's ratings or outlook.
The review is not yet complete and AES Corp. has not yet
determined the final amount of the adjustments, but at this time
the company does not believe they will be material or will
affect its cash balances.

In October 2006,  Moody's Investors Service downgraded its B1
Corporate Family Rating for AES Corporation in connection with
the rating agyency's implementation of its new Probability-of-
Default and Loss-Given-Default rating
methodology.

binding for three years and can only be amended with the
government's approval.  The buyer also has to consult Alitalia's
unions and sector trade associations if it wants to amend its
staffing plans.

The ministry said it will use the point system to assess the
plans: 10 points for each of the 12 targets and parameters,
including on growth, yields, and sustainability, Thomson
Financial reports.  A bidder must gain a minimum of 90 points to
proceed to the next phase of tender -- the opening of financial
offers for the Alitalia stake.

The financial offers also have to meet a minimum valuation on
Alitalia shares made by experts hired by the ministry, Thomson
Financial adds.  If the qualified bids are within five percent
of each other, the ministry will allow the bidders to amend
their offers.

                    Italy Wants Italian Buyer

Meanwhile, WSJ suggests that Italy remains keen on keeping
Alitalia in Italian ownership.  WSJ notes that the Italian
government has grown increasingly uncomfortable with foreign
ownership of strategic assets in other sectors.

As reported in the TCR-Europe on May 31, 2007, Italy had opposed
a merger between Autostrade S.p.A. and Spanish firm Abertis
Infraestructuras S.A. as well as efforts by U.S. and Mexican
bidders to control Telecom Italia S.p.A.

Remaining bidders for Alitalia are partners OAO Aeroflot and
Unicredit Italiano S.p.A.; and the consortium of AirOne S.p.A.
and Intesa-San Paolo S.p.A..

Italy, which is selling a minimum of 39.9% stake in Alitalia,
gave the bidders until 5:00 p.m. on July 2 to present their
binding offers.

BERRY PLASTICS: Moody's May Cut Low-B Ratings After Review
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed the long-term debt ratings of
Berry Plastics Holdings Corporation on review for possible
downgrade.

The review follows the company's announcement that it intends to
enter into a new US$500 million senior unsecured term loan
facility.  The proceeds, along with cash on hand, are expected
to be used to fund a special one time dividend.

Pro forma for the transaction, Berry's credit metrics are more
indicative of a B3 rating rather than a B2.  Pro forma metrics
are for the 12 months ended March 31, 2007 and include Moody's
standard analytical adjustments, but do not include any
projected synergies.  Pro forma leverage rises to approximately
8.5 times from 7.2 times and the ratio of EBIT to interest
declines to 0.6 times from 0.8 times.

Berry's rating upon the consummation of the merger with
Covalence reflected an expected reduction in debt in the
intermediate term to a level more consistent with the B2 rating
category.  With the addition of US$500 million of additional
debt, the forecasted free cash flow is expected to be
insufficient to improve these metrics to a level consistent with
the B2 rating category until at least 2009. T he integration of
Covalence is not yet complete and risks still remain because of
the difference in product lines and size as well as Covalence's
historical operating issues. Additionally, the merger synergies
represent a substantial portion of the forecasted financial
results and are not yet assured given the continuing integration
risk.

Moody's stated in its credit opinion dated April 11, 2007 that a
failure to reduce leverage below 6.5 times in the intermediate
term could result in a downgrade.  Berry has substantially
increased debt twice in the last nine months and the ratings
assigned both times were based on the expectation that the
company would reduce debt over the intermediate term.

Currently, Moody's anticipates that the downgrade of the
Corporate Family Rating will be limited to one notch.  Changes
in instrument ratings and the prospective rating for the new
term loan.

These ratings of Berry are placed under review for possible
downgrade:

   -- The B2 Corporate Family Rating, expected to be downgraded
      to B3 upon the close of the transaction;

   -- The B2 Probability of Default Rating, expected to be
      downgraded to B3 upon the close of the transaction;

   -- The Ba3 (LGD 2, 27%) rated US$1,200 million senior secured
      term loan due 2015, expected to be affirmed upon the close
      of the transaction;

   -- The B3 (LGD 4, 65%) rated US$225 million senior secured
      second lien FRN's due 2014, expected to be affirmed upon
      the close of the transaction;

   -- The B3 (LGD 4, 65%) rated US$525 million senior secured
      second lien notes due 2014, expected to be affirmed upon
      the close of the transaction; and

   -- The Caa1 (LGD 6, 90%) rated US$265 million senior
      subordinated notes due 2016, expected to be downgraded to
      Caa2 upon the close of the transaction.

These rating of Berry Plastics Group, Inc. is assigned on a
prospective basis:

   -- US$500 million senior unsecured term loan due 2014, Caa2
      (LGD 6-93%).

The outlook for the prospective rating is stable.

The SGL-2 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating is expected to be
affirmed upon close of the transaction.

The ratings and outlook are subject to the receipt of final
documentation.

NEPTUNO CLO: Moody's Rates EUR26 Million Class E Notes at Ba3
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's assigned these definitive ratings to six classes of
notes issued by Neptuno CLO I B.V., a bankruptcy remote special
purpose vehicle incorporated in the Netherlands:

   -- Aaa to the EUR223 million Class A-T Senior Secured
      Floating Rate Notes due 2023,

   -- Aaa to the EUR100 million Class A-R Senior Secured
      Revolving Floating Rate Notes due 2023,

   -- Aa2 to the EUR44 million Class B-1 Senior Secured Floating
      Rate Notes due 2023,

   -- Aa2 to the EUR4 million Class B-2 Senior Secured Fixed
      Rate Notes due 2023,

   -- A2 to the EUR25 million Class C Senior Secured Deferrable
      Floating Rate Notes due 2023,

   -- Baa3 to the EUR28 million Class D Senior Secured
      Deferrable Floating Rate Notes due 2023,

   -- Ba3 to the EUR24 million Class E-1 Senior Secured
      Deferrable Floating Rate Notes due 2023, and

   -- Ba3 to the EUR2 million Class E-2 Senior Secured
      Deferrable Fixed Rate Notes.

The ratings of the notes address the expected loss posed to
investors by the legal maturity of each class (in 2023).

These ratings are based upon:

   1. An assessment of the credit quality and of the
      diversification of the assets in the initial portfolio;

   2. An assessment of the eligibility criteria applicable to
      the future additions to the portfolio;

   3. The overcollateralization of the notes;

   4. The protection against losses through the subordination of
      the Class B, C, D, E notes, the EUR50 million
      subordinated notes and the excess spread available in the
      transaction;

   5. The analysis of the foreign currency risk involved in the
      transaction; and

   6. The legal and structural integrity of the issue.

This transaction is a high yield collateralized loan obligation
related to a portfolio composed mostly of senior and mezzanine
loans. This portfolio is dynamically managed by Caja de Ahorros
y Monte de Piedad de Madrid.  The portfolio acquired at closing
is 99.5% of target par and the remainder will be purchased
during the six-month ramp-up period at the end of which the
portfolio shall comply with the following tests: a diversity
score greater than 35, a weighted average rating factor lower
than 2,380 and weighted average spread greater than 2.50% and a
weighted average recovery rate greater than 55%.  Thereafter,
the portfolio of loans will be actively managed and the
portfolio manager will have the option to direct the issuer to
buy or sell loans.  Any addition or removal of loans will be
subject to a number of portfolio criteria.

This transaction features a dual-currency revolving class of
notes (class A-R notes) that can be drawn either in Euro or in
Sterling. Sterling advances will be initially ed to purchase
loans denominated in Sterling.  Should such Sterling assets
default, Sterling advances would not be fully collateralized by
Sterling assets and therefore Euro proceeds may need to be
converted into Sterling in order to redeem Sterling advances, th
creating a foreign exchange risk exposure.  This currency risk
has been considered in Moody's analysis.

This transaction is arranged by Barclays Capital.


YUKOS FINANCE: Court Allows Parent's Liquidator to Sell Assets
--------------------------------------------------------------
A court in Amsterdam, Netherlands, has granted Eduard Rebgun,
OAO Yukos Oil Co.'s liquidator, the rights to sell the bankrupt
company's foreign assets, various reports say.

Nikolai Lashkevich, spokesman to Mr. Rebgun, said the ruling
allows Russian officials to "demand and obtain documents
necessary to carry out the liquidation, carry out a financial
analysis of the company, evaluate the foreign assets of Yukos
and take a decision on the sale of Yukos Finance,"
Petroleumworld reports.

Yukos Finance's main assets, currently possessed by Yukos'
creditors, include:

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

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

Mr. Rebgun had sold most of Yukos' Russian assets in separate
auctions from March to May, Hemscott relates.

                      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.  A few days
later, the Russian Government sold its main production unit
Yugansk to a little-known firm Baikalfinansgroup for US$9.35
billion, as payment for US$27.5 billion in tax arrears for 2000-
2003.  Yugansk eventually was bought by state-owned Rosneft,
which is now claiming more than US$12 billion from Yukos.

On March 10, 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.

SISTEMA JSFC: Mobile Arm to Record Charge on Nomihold Put Option
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mobile TeleSystems OJSC, a subsidiary of JSFC Sistema, will
record a charge to non-operating expenses for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2006 in relation to a US$170 million put option held by
Nomihold Securities Inc.  Sistema will record a corresponding
charge in its financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31,
2006.

As previously disclosed, individual shareholders of Sistema have
agreed to assist MTS Finance, a wholly owned subsidiary of MTS,
in defending its rights in its on-going dispute with Nomihold.
Nomihold is seeking to compel MTS Finance through arbitration
proceedings to purchase from Nomihold a 49% stake in Tarino
Limited, the former indirect owner of Kyrgyz GSM operator Bitel,
for US$170 million pursuant to an option agreement.  The matter
is currently pending, and MTS Finance is vigorously contesting
this action and has asked the arbitration tribunal to dismiss
Nomihold's claim.  In the event that the arbitration decision
regarding the US$170 million put option is unfavorable to
MTS Finance, shareholders of Sistema have agreed to make a
capital contribution to MTS Finance of up to US$170 million.

Notwithstanding the guarantee, MTS, in agreement with its
auditor, believes that it should presently record the charge and
include this as a liability in its financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2006, and provide disclosure pending the
resolution of this legal matter.  Accordingly, Sistema, in
agreement with its auditor, believes that a corresponding charge
should be included in its financial statements for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2006.

                        About Sistema

Sistema JSFC (LSE: SSA) -- http://www.sistema.com/-- is the
largest private sector consumer services company in Russia and
the CIS, with over 65 million customers.  Sistema develops and
manages market-leading businesses in selected service-based

assigned Sistema Capital S.A.'s guaranteed debt issuance program
a final B+ rating.  The program, guaranteed by JSFC Sistema, has
a maturity of 30 years and may issue up to US$3 billion.  This
rating action follows a review of the final terms and
conditions, confirming information already received when Fitch
assigned an expected rating of B+ on Dec. 12, 2006.

In November 2006, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its
long-term debt rating to 'B+' from 'B' on the senior unsecured

YUKOS OIL: Prana Makes Final Payment for Moscow Headquarters
------------------------------------------------------------
The Prana Group has transferred RUR95.6 billion to OAO Yukos Oil
Co.'s account as final payment for the assets it purchased at a
May 11 auction, AK&M reports citing Nikolai Lashkevitch,
spokesperson to Yukos bankruptcy receiver Eduard Rebgun.

In a Kommersant report carried by the TCR-Europe on May 30, the
Federal Antimonopoly Service approved Prana Group's application
to acquire Lot 13 of Yukos Oil's assets, which include its 22-
story Moscow headquarters, after it submitted documents
necessary to close the deal.

Exercising the right for corporate secrecy, Prana chose to
reveal its ownership structure only to the competition agency
after being warned that the sale would not be approved unless it
did otherwise.

In a TCR-Europe report on May 15, 2007, Prana offered US$3.9
billion (RUR100.5 billion) for the assets, outbidding state-
owned OAO Rosneft Oil in a three-hour battle, which could have
awarded the latter with a string of major victories in the
series of Yukos auctions.

The assets fetched nearly five times more than the lot's
US$856.8 million starting price raising speculations that the
bidders might knew about hidden value in another asset in the
lot.

Aside from Yukos' offices, the lot includes:

   -- 100% in YUKOS-M CJSC,

   -- 100% in YUKOS-Moscow,

   -- 100% in YUKOS- Financial-Accounting center,

   -- 100% in YUKOS IMPORT,

   -- 100% in U-Mordovia,

   -- 100% in YUKOS-M Trade House,

   -- 100% in TopMaster-Realty Ltd,

   -- 77.4% in United center of scientific research,

   -- 70% in YUKOS Vostok Trade,

   -- 70% in UT-OIL,

   -- 60.98% Scientific-research institute of aviation industry
      economy,

   -- 50% in USVL CJSC,

   -- 37.99% in Voronezh nefteproduct avtomatika,

   -- 0.01% in YUKOS Refining and Marketing, and

   -- 0.01% in YUKOS Exploration and Production.

Prana, Kommersant notes, is 1% owned by Vladimir Esakov, who
previously worked for the projects of OAO Gazprom board member
Boris Fedorov.  The rest of Prana's stake is reportedly held by
an offshore incorporated in the Seychelles, Kommersant adds.

                      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.  A few days
later, the Russian Government sold its main production unit
Yugansk to a little-known firm Baikalfinansgroup for US$9.35
billion, as payment for US$27.5 billion in tax arrears for 2000-
2003.  Yugansk eventually was bought by state-owned Rosneft,
which is now claiming more than US$12 billion from Yukos.

On March 10, 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.


YUKOS OIL: Dutch Court Allows Liquidator to Sell Foreign Assets
---------------------------------------------------------------
A court in Amsterdam, Netherlands, has granted Eduard Rebgun,
OAO Yukos Oil Co.'s liquidator, the rights to sell the bankrupt
company's foreign assets, various reports say.

Nikolai Lashkevich, spokesman to Mr. Rebgun, said the ruling
allows Russian officials to "demand and obtain documents
necessary to carry out the liquidation, carry out a financial
analysis of the company, evaluate the foreign assets of Yukos
and take a decision on the sale of Yukos Finance,"
Petroleumworld reports.

Yukos Finance's main assets, currently possessed by Yukos'
creditors, include:

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

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

Mr. Rebgun had sold most of Yukos' Russian assets in separate
auctions from March to May, Hemscott relates.

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.

CIRSA BUSINESS: Moody's May Cut Low-B Ratings After Review
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed on review for possible
downgrade the B1 corporate family rating of Cirsa Business
Corporation S.A., the B1 rating of Cirsa Finance Luxembourg
S.A.'s EUR270 million senior notes due 2014 and the B2 rating of
Cirsa Capital Luxembourg S.A.'s EUR130 million senior notes due
2012.

The rating action has been triggered by the announcement that
the company has entered into a strategic arrangement with Casino
Club (a leading gaming operator in Argentina which owns and
operates 12 casinos and 17 gaming arcades throughout the
country) with respect to the operation and future development of
their casino operations in the key markets of Buenos Aires and
Rosario.

In Buenos Aires, Cirsa and Casino Club, through its subsidiary
Ciesa, have entered into a joint venture agreement ("Union
Transitoria de Empresas") by which Ciesa has committed to invest
up to US$120 million over the next three years to expand and
maintain the Buenos Aires casino business, while each of the two
companies will have a 50% economic interest in the profits of
the UTE.  Cirsa will retain the ownership of all of its existing
properties, including the licenses.  In Rosario, Cirsa has
acquired a 50% interest in the Casino de Rosario concession for
US$20 million, which amounts to approximately half of the US$40
million of funds invested by Casino Club to date.  This planned
casino complex is currently under construction and is expected
to commence operations in the first half of 2009 with 2,000
slots machines and 70 gaming tables.  The agreements are subject
to the prior approval of the gaming authorities.

The review process will focus on assessing the impact of these
complex agreements on the corporate structure and financial
profile of the company as well as on the level of execution risk
involved in the development of the new businesses in Buenos
Aires and Rosario. Moody's notes that these agreements are of
significant relevance given that they involve Cirsa's most
important asset (Cirsa's Buenos Aires casino business generated
approximately 25% of the consolidated EBITDA of the group in
2006) and could impact the amount of cash flows to be upstreamed
from its Argentinean subsidiary over the short to medium term.

Moody's expects to complete the review process within the next
three months (subject to the approval of the agreements by the
gaming authorities) and any downgrade in the corporate family
rating would likely be limited to one notch.

Moody's also notes that the notching differential between the
rating of Cirsa Finance Luxembourg S.A.'s EUR270 million senior
notes due 2014 and the rating of Cirsa Capital Luxembourg S.A.'s
EUR130 million senior notes due 2012 could be removed if Moody's
were to conclude that the guarantee from Casino de Buenos Aires
S.A. to the 2014 notes has weakened materially as a result of
the profit sharing agreement with Casino Club.

Headquartered in Terrassa, Spain, Cirsa is a leading Spanish
gaming company, with substantial operations in Brazil, The
Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Panama, Suriname, Peru, Argentina
and Uruguay.  For the 12 months ended September 2006, Cirsa had
revenues of EUR1.643 billion and EBITDA of EUR123.7 million.
For the year ended December 2006, Cirsa had revenues of EUR1.657
billion and EBITDA of EUR143.4 million.

BRITISH AIRWAYS: Inks Working Practices Deal with Ground Staff
--------------------------------------------------------------
British Airways plc disclosed that an agreement has been reached
on new working practices for all 6,000 ground staff involved in
the move to Heathrow's Terminal 5.

Willie Walsh, chief executive, said the final staff ballot, by
check-in and customer service staff, had shown overwhelming
support for new, more efficient ways of working, ahead of the
move to British Airways' new home in Terminal 5.

The result followed separate votes in favor of new deals by
baggage handlers, loaders, tug drivers, turnround managers,
coach drivers and other groups involved in ground operations.
Negotiations over working practices have been taking place over
the last 18 months.

"Some people claimed that replacing the existing and differing
working practices in Terminals 1, 3 and 4 with a new, single
efficient way of working for Terminal 5 would lead to disastrous
conflict with our trade unions, Mr. Walsh said.  "It has not
turned out like that.  I am delighted we have reached this
milestone with the full co-operation of our unions and a
workforce that is determined to make Terminal 5 an outstanding
success for our customers."

In a speech in London, he said the negotiations over Terminal 5
were just one of the long-standing challenges that the airline
had recently resolved.

There had been settlement of the pension fund deficit, disposal
of the loss-making regional subsidiary BA Connect and
significant progress in cost reduction.

Now the airline could look forward to growth, investment in new
aircraft, new services between the USA and Europe, new on-board
products and a new exclusive home in Terminal 5.

The chief executive went on: "We are an airline with historical
legacies in a highly dynamic industry that rewards the new and
the bold.

"We have worked very hard to establish a position where we can
innovate quickly and decisively to exploit profitable
opportunities as they arise. We are there now - and we are ready
to move forward."

CABLE & WIRELESS: Winds Up Four Irish Subsidiaries
--------------------------------------------------
Cable & Wireless plc has placed four of its IFSC subsidiaries in
members' voluntary liquidation, Ian Kehoe writes for The Sunday
Business Post.

Subsequently, insolvency practitioner Billy O'Riordan of
PricewaterhouseCoopers was appointed liquidator.

The companies being wound up, The Sunday Business Post relates,
include:

   -- Cable & Wireless International Holdings;
   -- Cable & Wireless Ireland Funding No 1;
   -- Cable & Wireless Ireland Funding No 2; and
   -- Cable & Wireless Ireland Funding No 4.

According to Cable & Wireless, the companies with combined
assets of about EUR300 million were treasury management
operations and other investment vehicles for some of its
overseas operations that closed in 2003, mainly in the United
States.

"As Cable & Wireless no longer has this business, we are tidying
up our register of companies and liquidating unused companies.
These liquidations do not result in cash leaving Ireland," the
telecoms firm said in a statement.

FORD MOTOR: Expects U.S. Retail Sales to Increase in May
--------------------------------------------------------
Ford Motor Company projects an increase in U.S. retail sales in
May 2007 for the first time in six months, but expects overall
sales to decline as the automaker continued to cut low-margin
sales to daily rental companies, Reuters reports.

"We will be reporting an increase in retail sales this month,"
Reuters quotes George Pipas, Ford chief sales analyst, as
saying.  He added that crossover sport utility vehicles and cars
were propelling the improvement in showroom sales.  However, Mr.
Pipas notes that a 20 percent reduction in sales to daily-rental
companies would drag Ford's overall U.S. sales in May down for a
"single-digit" percentage decline.

Mr. Pipas also observed that industry sales volume appeared to
be rebounding from a weak April based on purchase data from the
first 20 days of the month, adding that "retail business for the
industry may be equal to or higher than a year ago," Reuters
relates.

U.S. auto sales stalled in April as a weaker housing market and
higher gas prices hurt consumers, Reuters observes.  Mr. Pipas
said sales of small cars and crossover SUVs have jumped from
last month as gas prices continued to rise.  Mr. Pipas notes,
however, that the pickup truck segment had yet to recover from
the ripple effect of a weak housing market.

Ford and other automakers are expected to report May U.S. sales
on June 1, 2007, Reuters states.  U.S. industry-wide light-
vehicle sales dipped to an annualized rate of 16.27 million in
April 2007, down from 16.69 million a year ago and the weakest
tally since November 2006.

SAKS INC: Fitch Affirms Issuer Rating at B
------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed its Issuer Default Rating of Saks
Incorporated at 'B' and its rating of the company's secured bank
credit facility at 'BB/RR1'.  In addition, Fitch has upgraded
the company's senior unsecured notes to 'B+/RR3' from 'B/RR4'.
The Rating Outlook has been revised to Stable from Negative.
Saks had US$517 million of senior unsecured notes and no bank
debt outstanding as of May 5, 2007.

The affirmations reflect the company's improving operating
trends, recent debt reduction, and internationally recognized
luxury franchise balanced against the competitive operating
environment and the cyclical nature of luxury retailing.  The
upgrade of the senior unsecured notes reflects the improvement
in the expected recovery on the notes as a result of the
repayment of US$96 million of the notes in a tender offer. The
revision of the Outlook to Stable from Negative reflects the
expectation that sales trends will remain solid and that
profitability will continue to recover from currently depressed
levels.

Saks reported comparable store sales growth of 4.9% in 2006 and
a strong 14.4% in first quarter 2007.  Behind this improvement
is an effort to broaden the merchandise mix by expanding the
lower priced 'Saks Fifth Avenue' label, more effectively
catering assortments by market, and substantially increasing
inventory levels.  Profitability remains sub par, with the
operating margin at 0.3% in the twelve months ended May 5, 2007,
but is improving as a result of merchandising improvements and
cost reductions.  The company has been streamlining its
organizational structure, and has centralized its headquarters
in New York City.

Along with its corporate restructuring, Saks has reduced debt
levels to bring them in line with a lower level of revenues and
EBITDA.  In April 2007, Saks successfully completed a tender
offer for half of its US$190 million of 8.25% notes due 2008,
which was financed with cash on hand. Fitch expects the leverage
measured by adjusted debt/EBITDAR will improve from its current
level of 6 times, driven by a combination of strengthening
profitability and further debt repayment.

The ratings of the US$500 million secured bank facility and
senior unsecured notes reflect their recovery prospects. Fitch's
recovery analysis assumes a liquidation value in a distressed
scenario of US$994 million.  Applying this value across the
capital structure results in outstanding recovery prospects
(over 90%) for the bank facility, which is secured by
inventories and certain receivables.  The recovery prospects for
the senior unsecured notes are good (50%-70%).

                         About Saks Inc.

Based in Birmingham, Alabama, Saks Incorporated (NYSE: SKS) --
http://www.saksincorporated.com/-- operates Saks Fifth Avenue
Enterprises, which consists of 55 Saks Fifth Avenue stores, 50

TIMKEN COMPANY: Earns US$75.2 Million in First Quarter 2007
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Timken Company recorded a net income of US$75.2 million for
the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, as compared with a net
income of US$65.9 million for the first quarter ended March 31,
2006.

The company reported net sales for the first quarter of 2007 of
about US$1.3 billion, an increase of US$30.2 million over the
first quarter of 2006, or an increase of 2.4%.  Sales were
higher across the Industrial and Steel Groups, offset by lower
sales in the Automotive Group.

The company's first quarter results reflect the ongoing strength
of industrial markets and the performance of the Steel Group.
The company continued its focus to increase production capacity
in targeted areas, including major capacity expansions for
industrial products at several manufacturing locations around
the world.
The company's first quarter results also reflect a favorable
discrete tax adjustment of US$32.1 million to recognize the
benefits of a prior year tax position as a result of a change in
tax law during the quarter.

As of March 31, 2007, the company's balance sheet showed total
assets of US$4.1 billion, total liabilities of US$2.5 billion,
and total stockholders' equity of US$1.6 billion.

                  Liquidity and Capital Resources

The company had US$100.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as
of March 31, 2007.  Total debt was US$668.5 million at March 31,
2007, compared to US$597.8 million at Dec. 31, 2006.  Net debt
was
US$567.7 million at March 31, 2007, compared to US$496.7 million
at Dec. 31, 2006.  The net debt to capital ratio was 26.7% at
March 31, 2007, compared to 25.2% at Dec. 31, 2006.

At March 31, 2007, the company had no outstanding borrowings
under its US$500 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
and had letters of credit outstanding totaling US$33.2 million,
which reduced the availability under the Senior Credit Facility
to US$466.8 million.  The Senior Credit Facility matures on June
30, 2010.

At March 31, 2007, the company had no outstanding borrowings
under the company's Asset Securitization, which provides for
borrowings up to US$200 million.  As of March 31, 2007, there
were letters of credit outstanding totaling US$18.8 million,
which reduced the availability under the Asset Securitization to
US$181.2 million.

The company believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its
obligations through 2010.  It expects to make cash contributions
of US$100 million to its global defined benefit pension plans in
2007.

available for free at http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?2061

                        Guidance for 2007

The company expects that the continued strength in industrial
markets throughout 2007 should drive year-over-year volume and
margin improvement.  While global industrial markets are
expected to remain strong, the improvements in the company's
operating performance will be partially constrained by
restructuring initiatives, as well as investments, including
Project O.N.E. and Asian growth initiatives.  Project O.N.E. is
a program designed to improve the company's business processes
and systems.  In 2006, the company successfully completed a
pilot program of Project O.N.E. in Canada.  The company expects
to complete the installation of Project O.N.E. for a major
portion of its domestic operations during the second quarter of
2007.

                        Updates on Groups

Industrial Group.  In February, the company announced the launch
of a fully integrated casting operation to produce precision
aerospace aftermarket components at this new site.  In addition,
the company is increasing large-bore bearing capacity in
Romania, China, India and the United States to serve heavy
industrial markets. The Industrial Group expects to benefit from
this increase in large-bore bearing capacity during the second
half of 2007.

Automotive Group.  In 2005, the company disclosed plans for its
Automotive Group to restructure its business.  In February 2006,
the company announced plans to downsize its manufacturing
facility in Vierzon, France.

These plans are targeted to collectively deliver annual pretax
savings of about US$75 million by 2008, with expected net
workforce reductions of about 1,300 to 1,400 positions and
pretax costs of about US$125 million to US$135 million, which
include restructuring costs and rationalization costs recorded
in cost of products sold and selling, administrative and general
expenses.  In December 2006, the company completed the
divestiture of its steering business located in Watertown,
Connecticut and Nova Friburgo, Brazil.  The steering business
employed about 900 associates.

Steel Group.  In January 2007, the company announced plans to
invest approximately US$60 million to enable the company to
competitively produce steel bars down to 1-inch diameter for use
in power transmission and friction management applications for a
variety of customers.

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
