ON SEMICONDUCTOR: Earns US$20.8 Million in First Quarter 2008
-------------------------------------------------------------
ON Semiconductor Corporation reported that total revenues in the
first quarter of 2008 were US$421.9 million, an increase of
approximately three percent from the fourth quarter of 2007.

During the first quarter of 2008, the company reported GAAP net
income of US$20.8 million, or US$0.07 per share on a fully
diluted basis. First quarter 2008 GAAP net income included a net
charge of US$44.6 million, or US$0.14 per share on a fully
diluted basis from special items.  The special item details can
be found in the attached schedules.  During the fourth quarter
of 2007, the company reported GAAP net income of US$61.1
million, or US$0.20 per share on a fully diluted basis.

First quarter 2008 non-GAAP net income was US$65.4 million or
US$0.21 per share on a fully diluted basis.  Fourth quarter 2007
non-GAAP net income was US$68.7 million, or US$0.23 per share on
a fully diluted basis.

On a mix-adjusted basis, average selling prices in the first
quarter of 2008 were down less than two percent from the fourth
quarter of 2007.  The company’s total gross margin in the first
quarter was 34.7%.  Non-GAAP total gross margin in the first
quarter was 37.6%.  GAAP gross margin in the first quarter
included a net charge of approximately US$11.9 million or 290
basis points from special items.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2008 was US$97.2
million.  Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2007 was
US$102.1 million.  

Excluding the impact of the acquisition of AMIS Holdings, Inc.
which closed on Mar. 17, 2008, ON Semiconductor had stand alone
revenues of approximately US$396.4 million in the first quarter
of 2008, a decrease of approximately three percent from the
fourth quarter of 2007.  ON Semiconductor also reported first
quarter 2008 stand alone GAAP net income of US$40.1 million, or
US$0.14 per share on a fully diluted basis.  First quarter 2008
stand alone GAAP net income included approximately US$19.1
million, or US$0.06 per share on a fully diluted basis from
special items.

Excluding the impact of the acquisition, ON Semiconductor had
stand alone gross margin of approximately 35.7% in the first
quarter of 2008.  Stand alone non-GAAP gross margin in the first
quarter was 37.0%.  ON Semiconductor stand alone GAAP gross
margin in the first quarter included a net charge of
approximately US$5.1 million or 130 basis points from special
items.  The special item details can be found in the attached
schedules.  On a stand alone basis, first quarter 2008 gross
margin was also impacted from the increase in manufacturing
costs associated with the weaker dollar and increases in direct
material costs compared to the fourth quarter of 2007.

First quarter 2008 stand alone non-GAAP net income was US$59.2
million or US$0.20 per share on a fully diluted basis.  Fourth
quarter 2007 non-GAAP net income was US$68.7 million, or US$0.23
per share on a fully diluted basis.

“The positive transformation of ON Semiconductor continued in
the first quarter of 2008,” said Keith Jackson, ON Semiconductor
president and CEO.  “At the end of December, we closed the
acquisition of the CPU Voltage and Thermal Products Group from
Analog Devices which boosted our overall computing power
management expertise.  In the first quarter, we completed the
largest acquisition in the company’s history by closing the AMIS
Holdings, Inc. transaction.  These two transactions greatly
enhance our ability to address our customers’ most challenging
power management requirements and position ON Semiconductor as a
leader in the analog and power management sector.”

                   Second Quarter 2008 Outlook

“Based upon product booking trends, backlog levels, anticipated
manufacturing services revenue decline of US$8 million
sequentially and estimated turns levels, we anticipate that
total revenues will be approximately US$545 to US$560 million in
the second quarter of 2008,” Jackson said.  “Included in the
total revenue guidance is the expectation of sequential product
revenue growth of approximately two to six percent for ON
Semiconductor stand alone and approximately US$150 million of
revenue associated with the completed acquisition of AMIS
Holdings, Inc.  Backlog levels at the beginning of the second
quarter of 2008 were up from backlog levels at the beginning of
the first quarter of 2008 and represent over 85 percent of our
anticipated second quarter 2008 revenues.  We expect that
average selling prices for the second quarter of 2008 will be
down approximately two percent sequentially. []”

ON SEMICONDUCTOR: Moody's Lifts Corp. Family Rating to Ba3
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded ON Semiconductor
Corporation's corporate family rating to Ba3 from B1 and senior
secured debt ratings to Baa3 from Ba1.  Simultaneously, Moody's
assigned a speculative grade liquidity rating of SGL-1.  The
outlook is stable.  This concludes the review for possible
upgrade that was initiated in December 2007 following the
company's announcement that it would acquire AMI Semiconductor,
Inc. for approximately US$915 million in an all-stock
transaction.  Following completion of the acquisition and
repayment of AMI Semi's bank credit facilities (March 2008),
Moody's withdrew all ratings for AMI Semi (CFR formerly rated
Ba3/Stable).

These ratings for ON Semi were upgraded:

-- Corporate Family Rating to Ba3 from B1

-- Probability of Default Rating to Ba3 from B1

-- US$25.0 Million Guaranteed Sr. Secured Revolving Credit
    Facility due 2013 to Baa3 (LGD-1, 3%) from Ba1 (LGD-1, 4%)

-- US$173.7 Million Guaranteed Sr. Secured Term Loan maturing
    through 2013 to Baa3 (LGD-1, 3%) from Ba1 (LGD-1, 4%)

These rating was assigned:

-- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating -- SGL-1

The ratings upgrade reflects ON Semi's enhanced scale, expanded
product portfolio, broader and deeper client relationships, end
market diversification and expansion into higher margin market
segments, as well as expected manufacturing synergies (estimated
to be approximately US$50 million per annum by year end 2008)
from facility closures and consolidation following the AMI Semi
acquisition.  Additionally, the upgrade considers the company's
acquisition financing strategy which results in enhanced credit
protection measures on a pro forma basis as well as the additive
EBITDA and increased free cash flow generation provided by the
merger.  Pro forma for the transaction, financial leverage as
measured by debt to EBITDA is approximately 2.4x for the LTM
period ended Dec. 31, 2007, which is comparable to Ba3 rated
industry peers.

The stable ratings outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the
company will achieve revenue growth that outpaces the industry
and expand gross and operating margins in connection with
incremental benefits from increasing semiconductor content
within OEM/ODM platforms, a shift to higher margin products with
longer life cycles (via AMI Semi) and continued cost savings.  
The current ratings and outlook incorporate expectations of
moderate integration risk associated with AMI Semi, expanding
free cash flow, nominal debt-funded acquisition activity and
limited share repurchases.

The Ba3 CFR incorporates Moody's expectations that ON Semi will
realize manufacturing efficiency improvements, better
operational execution and lower unit production costs for AMI
Semi's growing high volume ASSP (application specific standard
products) portfolio via the transfer of ON Semi's advanced
manufacturing capabilities, process technologies and expense
reduction methods.  This, together with scheduled facility
shutdowns and relocation of AMI Semi manufacturing to lower cost
facilities, is expected to improve AMI Semi's relatively lower
operating margins over the next 12--18 months to levels
approaching ON Semi's operating margins, which are in the range
of 18-20% (Moody's adjusted) on a standalone basis.

Moody's previously commented in its March 2007 press release
that although ON Semi's financial metrics suggested a Ba3
rating, the rating was constrained to B1 at the time due to: (i)
the incremental operating costs associated with the new sub-
micron analog wafer fab in Gresham, Oregon; (ii) potential for
heightened competition; and (iii) moderate customer
concentration.  Moody's notes that the complementary nature of
the acquisition mitigates these risks and supports the Ba3
rating.  Much of AMI Semi's outsourced production will be
transferred to Gresham, improving that facility's capacity
utilization and profitability.

Additionally, AMI Semi's sole source status for nearly 90% of
its product base, well-penetrated customer base with long-
standing relationships and high entry barriers for its ASIC
(application specific integrated circuits) products now lessens
the competitive forces confronting ON Semi.  Also, ON Semi's
entry into AMI Semi's market segments such as medical,
industrial and military/aerospace, which tend to have moderate
ASP volatility and relatively long product life cycles, subdues
competitive elements.  Finally, customer concentration (top ten
non-EMS/non-distribution customers equal to 26% of revenues pre-
merger vs. 21% post-merger) is reduced with the addition of AMI
Semi's customer base, which has little overlap with ON Semi's
client base.

The Ba3 CFR factors possible delays in achieving acquisition
synergies given the size of the AMI Semi transaction.  It also
captures risks associated with the timing and amount of
restructuring charges, which could be deferred or larger than
planned; incremental capex, albeit lower than on a combined
basis; potential customer disengagements resulting from the
change in ownership and operating strategy at AMI Semi; and the
cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry.  Additionally,
the rating incorporates potential risks of a consumer-led U.S.
economic downturn, which could negatively impact demand for
consumer electronics (17% of combined company revenues),
wireless (13%) and automotive (21%) semiconductor products
supplied by the company.

To the extent the company is able to achieve good progress
towards internal execution and integration of AMI Semi as
originally planned, Moody's could upgrade the outlook or rating
over the next 6 -- 9 months.

ON Semi's speculative grade liquidity rating of SGL-1 recognizes
the company's very good liquidity position.  This is based on
cash and short-term investments of roughly US$300 million,
anticipated generation of solid free cash flow levels over the
next twelve months and a US$25 million undrawn revolver.  
Moody's expects the company to maintain healthy levels of gross
cash flow to cover capital expenditures and working capital
requirements.  Further supporting the company's overall
liquidity is the expectation for covenant compliance over the
next four quarters.

Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, ON Semiconductor Corporation
is a global manufacturer of power- and data-management
semiconductors as well as standard semiconductor components.  In
March 2008, ON Semi acquired AMI Semiconductor, Inc., a leading
designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal custom
integrated circuits for approximately US$915 million in an all-
stock transaction.  Pro forma for the AMI Semi acquisition,
combined revenues and EBITDA (Moody's adjusted, excluding
synergies) for the twelve months ended Dec. 31, 2007 were US$2.2
billion and US$536 million, respectively.

CAMBER 6: Intent to Liquidate Cues S&P to Cut Ratings on CDOs
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on 23
classes from four collateralized debt obligation of asset-backed
securities (CDO of ABS) transactions.  S&P placed 18
of the lowered ratings on CreditWatch with negative
implications.

The rating actions reflect the receipt of notices from the
trustees on the deals stating that a majority of the
transactions' controlling classes have directed the trustees to
proceed with the liquidation of the collateral backing the CDOs.

The four deals are:

   -- Camber 6 PLC, a hybrid CDO of ABS collateralized in large
      part by mezzanine tranches of residential mortgage-backed
      securities (RMBS);

   -- Cherry Creek CDO I Ltd., a cash flow CDO of ABS deal
      collateralized in large part by mezzanine tranches of
      RMBS;

   -- Corona Borealis CDO Ltd., a hybrid CDO of ABS deal
      collateralized in large part by mezzanine RMBS tranches;
      and

   --  Timberwolf I Ltd., a hybrid CDO collateralized by
       tranches of structured finance CDO transactions.

The rating actions reflect our opinion that substantial losses
to the noteholders are likely if the transactions proceed to
liquidate.  This is based on our view of the current market
value of the underlying collateral, and our view that market
prices may not recover during the liquidation period.

CLOVERIE PLC: Moody's May Further Cut Junk Ratings After Review
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded 4 classes of notes
issued by Cloverie PLC.

These rating actions are in response to severe credit
deterioration in the underlying portfolios.  The rated
transaction is a static CDO referencing a portfolio of high-
grade subprime RMBS assets of the 2005 vintage mainly.

Moody's announced on Feb. 4, 2008, that it is revising its
expected loss assumptions which are used for surveillance of
ratings of ABS CDOs holding subprime RMBS, specifically of the
2006 vintage.  Moody's stated that for purposes of monitoring
its ratings of ABS CDOs with exposure to 2006 subprime RMBS, it
will rely on certain projections of the lifetime average
cumulative losses for 2006's quarterly vintages of RMBS set
forth in a recent Moody's Special Report, "Moody's Updates Loss
Projections for 2006 Subprime Loans."  This report illustrates
average loss results for the 2006 quarterly vintages under five
distinct loss projection scenarios.  Moody's explained that it
will utilise the range of loss projections set forth in
Scenarios 2 and 3 based on deal performance and quarterly
vintage to modify its prior assumptions of the expected loss
inputs when monitoring ABS CDO ratings.

Moody's will continue to monitor all deals with exposure to US
subprime RMBS, and will take further actions in respect of all
CDOs placed under review for downgrade once the extent of actual
downgrades to US RMBS vintages becomes known.

These actions are:

   (1) Series 2005-78 US$15,000,000 Class S-2 Secured Floating
       Rate Portfolio Credit Linked Notes due 2043

    -- Current Rating: B2, on review for downgrade

ALITALIA SPA: Multi-Long Offers EUR1 Billion for Italy's Stake
--------------------------------------------------------------
Multi-Long Corp. has submitted a EUR1 billion offer to acquire
the Italian government's 49.9% stake in Alitalia S.p.A., various
reports say.

According to Multi-Long CEO Michael Breslow, the firm also
submitted a business plan for Alitalia to the European
Commission, Armorel Kenna writes for Bloomberg News.

Mr. Breslow told Bloomberg News in an e-mail that Multi-Long's
funds for the offer are "larger than anyone can imagine," adding
that its interest in Alitalia is "rock solid and not an
adventure or irresponsible bid."

Mr. Breslow also told The Associated Press that Multi-Long could
get funds for its offer from European and Brazilian banks.

Mr. Breslow added to the AP that though Multi-Long has no
experience running an airline, it can financially reorganize
Alitalia.

                         About Alitalia

Italian Finance Minister Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa had said that if

creditors and the government would appoint a special
commissioner to initiate bankruptcy proceedings


FIAT SPA: To Source Auto Parts from India by 2010
-------------------------------------------------
Fiat SpA intends to import EUR250 million worth of auto parts
from India by 2010.  This is eight times the current importation
of EUR30 million, the Economictimes reports.

The Economictimes adds that the move would enable Fiat to cut
costs since parts from India are around 10-15% cheaper.  
Further, it could also aid Fiat "broadbase its global market for
sourcing," Economictimes says.

relates that the sourcing would be implemented for the
automaker's Europe, Brazil and North America manufacturing
plants.

PARMALAT SPA: Parma Judge Unites 2 Trials, Keeps Others Separate
----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Eleonora Fiengo of a court in Parma, Italy, refused the
request of Parmalat founder Calisto Tanzi's lawyers to unite all
trials connected to the financial collapse of Parmalat S.p.A.,
Colleen Barry writes for The Associated Press.

Giampiero Biancolella, counsel for Mr. Tanzi, argued that
combining the Parma trials will allow an efficient defense of
his client, noting that many strands in the cases overlap, AP
reports.

Judge Fiengo refused the request, ruling that keeping the trials
separate would hasten smaller cases without hindering the
defense, AP relates.

The judge however combined two of the trials -- the main trial
accusing Mr. Tanzi and 22 others of fraudulent bankruptcy will
now include the founder's former lawyer Michele Ributti, who is
charged of misappropriating Parmalat funds.

Judge Fiengo kept these trials separate:

    * relating to the failure of the Parmatour travel firm;

    * relating to Parmalat's purchase of mineral water-firm
      Ciappazzi; and

    * relating funds availed from Emilia Romagna Factoring.

The court will resume trials June 4, 2008, AP relates.  The
court will decide the same day whether to combine to the main
proceedings the trial relating to Parmalat's  acquisition of
Eurolat.

Paola Cagossi, a lawyer representing more than 1,000 Parmalat
investors, told AP that maintain several trials would give small
shareholders a better chance of winning damages.

IMAX CORP: Moody's Holds Junk Ratings on High Financial Risk
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed the ratings outlook for IMAX
Corporation to positive from stable based on its improved
liquidity position.  IMAX announced an approximately US$18
million private placement of common stock and an amendment to
its credit facility, which enhances covenant flexibility,
extends the maturity and potentially increases availability.
Proceeds from these transactions will help IMAX to manage the
substantial upfront capital investments related to its joint
venture agreements.

Moody's also affirmed the Caa1 corporate family and the Caa1
probability of default ratings for IMAX as well as the Caa2
rating on its senior unsecured bonds.

IMAX Corporation

   -- Outlook, Changed To Positive from Stable;
   -- Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed at Caa1;
   -- Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed at Caa1;
   -- Senior Unsecured Bonds, Affirmed at Caa2, LGD 4, 60%.

The Caa1 corporate family rating reflects high financial risk
and the lack of visibility regarding IMAX's long term cash flow
prospects, as well as execution risk related to the strategic
transition to increased use of joint ventures and the rollout of
the new digital system.  A highly enforceable backlog of signed
contracts, recent positive business indicators, and the value of
the IMAX brand support the ratings.

IMAX Corporation specializes in large-format and three-
dimensional film presentation; the company typically leases or
sells its projection and sound systems, and licenses the use of
its trademarks.  With annual revenue of approximately US$115
million, IMAX maintains headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario,
Canada.

The company has a subsidiary in Netherlands, IMAX (Netherlands)
B.V., and also in Japan, IMAX Japan Inc.

ROSNEFT OIL: Neft-Aktiv Files Fresh Claims Against TGK-11
---------------------------------------------------------
Neft-Aktiv, a subsidiary of OAO Rosneft Oil Co, filed new claims
in the Moscow Arbitration Court relating to the creation of
electricity generator TGK-11 last year, Nadia Popova writes for
The Moscow Times.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on Feb. 21,
2008, Neft-Aktiv had filed a lawsuit against TGK-11 alleging
that the shareholders' meeting in which TomskEnergo agreed to
merge with TGK-11 was questionable.

In its latest claim, Neft-Aktiv said that the merger was not
valid since the ballots were miscounted, The Moscow Times
relates.  Dmitry Chernyakov, counsel for Neft-Aktiv, added that
the ballots were counted by one person despite a provision
saying that a "commission of three" should do the count.  Mr.
Chernyakov further said that the company also violated its
charter by not publishing the shareholders' meeting in the  
Krasnoye Znamya, The Moscow Times adds.

The Moscow Times discloses that Neft-Aktiv's latest move comes
as a surprise since Anatoly Chubais, CEO of Unified Energy
System, TGK-11's parent company, had earlier said that the
government had already been included in the mediation.

TGK-11 lawyer Anna Kaflevskaya, however, declined to comment on
the claims, The Moscow Times notes.

The next hearing is scheduled on May 30, 2008, The Moscow Times
states.

SIBUR HOLDING: Moody's May Cut Ba2 Rating After Review
------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed the Ba2 Corporate Family Rating
of Sibur Holding OJSC on review for possible downgrade following
the recent announcement of the contemplated management buyout of
50% +1 share of the company by its main shareholder Gazprombank
(ratings on review for upgrade) for approximately US$2.3 billion
(RUR53.5 billion).

The Cyprus-based Hidron Holdings Limited, which is owned by five
of Sibur's top managers, announced on April 29 that it had
reached a preliminary agreement with Gazprombank's
representatives to acquire a controlling stake in the company.
Hidron will also issue a put option in favor of Gazprombank for
the purchase of the remaining 20% for approximately US$920
million within three years of the date of the transaction.
Significant part of the financing of the transaction, excluding
the put option, will be provided by the seller.

Sibur's management has outlined the broad steps for the
financing of the transaction; however, Moody's notes that some
aspects remain under discussion, especially in terms of the
impact the transaction may have on the company's financial
policies as well as significant associated liquidity and
refinancing risks.  Moody's notes that Sibur was very strongly
positioned within its rating category prior to the transaction.

In the coming months, Moody's will focus its ratings review on
the impact of this transaction on Sibur's financial flexibility
and strategies including:

   (1) The nature and tenor of the final funding arrangements
       being put in place;

   (2) The terms and conditions of Hidron's put option, and the
       scale of the potential participation of the strategic
       partner(s);

   (3) Management's strategy and the execution risk, if any,
       associated with redeeming the US$1.23 billion in bridge
       loans being provided by Gazprombank;

   (4) The provisions with regard to Gazfond (a non-governmental
       pension fund) remaining a blocking minority in the
       company;

   (5) The medium-term refinancing strategy for the acquisition
       debt and any possible impact on Sibur; and

   (6) The scale and magnitude of the company's revised capital
       investment and M&A strategies.

Domiciled in St. Petersburg, Russian Federation OJSC Sibur
Holding is the largest Russian vertically integrated
petrochemical holding, producing hydrocarbon feedstock,
fertilizers, Synthetic rubbers, polymers and tyres.  Sibur's
reported revenues in 2007 amounted to RUR143 billion, EBITDA

TATNEFT OAO: Crude Oil Reserves Up as of January 1
--------------------------------------------------
Based on the results of evaluation by Miller & Lents, Ltd.
(USA), independent international oil and gas consultants,
conducted at the request of OAO Tatneft, as of Jan. 1, 2008 the
reserves of oil and gas of Tatneft under the SPE-WPC
classification were:

   -- Proved reserves of crude oil and condensate – 6 billion
      139 million 700 thousand barrels, which is 228 million
      barrels more than as of Jan. 1, 2007;

   -- Probable reserves of crude oil and condensate – 2 billion
      141 million 300 thousand barrels, which is 146.9 million
      barrels more than as of Jan. 1, 2007;

   -- Possible reserves of crude oil and condensate – 610.1
      million barrels.

The reserves of gas also increased and are comprised of:

   -- proved – 1,323.9 Bcf
   -- probable – 452 Bcf, and
   -- possible – 43.3 Bcf.

In 2007 Tatneft produced record volume of crude oil in the last
14 years – 25 million 741 thousand metric tons (approximately
183.35 million barrels).  Outside of Tatarstan the company’s
subsidiaries produced approximately 196 thousand metric tons
(1.4 million barrels) of crude oil.

The increase in reserves of Tatneft is directly related to
successful application of modern technologies during crude oil
and gas production, geographical expansion of the Company’s
activities as well as the commencement of development of highly
viscous bitumen oil fields in the Republic of Tatarstan.

Positive results of pilot production from Ashalchinsky and
Mordovo-Karmalsky highly viscous bitumen oil fields allowed to
book as proved (under international standards) a portion of the
reserves of these fields (approximately 3.17 million barrels).
Another 5.4 million and 258 million barrels of highly viscous
bitumen oil reserves are booked as probable and possible
respectively.

NAFTOGAZ UKRAINY: Posts UAH2.2 Billion Losses for 2006
------------------------------------------------------
NAK Naftogaz Ukrainy posted UAH2.2 billion in losses for 2006,
compared with UAH18 billion in losses in 2005, Daryna
Krasnolutska writes for Bloomberg News.

Naftogaz attributed the increase in losses to its inability to
pass on price hikes to consumer as well as to higher taxes,
Bloomberg News relates.  The company also associated the losses
with its gas wholesale distribution segment.

Bloomberg News relates that when Russia double the price of its
gas deliveries to Ukraine, the government didn't allow Naftogaz
to pass on cost increase to households and state-funded
agencies.

                        Reporting Delay

According to Bloomberg News, Naftogaz had delayed the
publication of its 2006 audited annual results three times to
avoid defaulting on US$500 million in Euro-denominated bonds,
which it issued in 2004.

The company asked bondholders to grant a waiver in October 2007.

GOALS 2006-1: S&P Rates EUR250 Mln Notes at BB with Watch Pos.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has placed on CreditWatch
with positive implications its credit ratings on the class B, C,
and D notes issued by GOALS 2006-1 Ltd., a special-purpose
entity.
  
These CreditWatch placements follow an initial review of the
most recent transaction information received by Standard &
Poor's.  This analysis shows that the likelihood of positive
rating actions has increased.  The performance of the underlying
collateral has been robust and a large amount of excess
spread has been available to cover potential losses.
  
The level of protection available to the class B and C
noteholders from the subordination of the class D notes and the
reserve fund has considerably increased. The class B credit
enhancement level has increased to 27.33% as of April 2008 from
9.25% as of closing and the class C credit enhancement level
has increased to 10.86% from 4.25%.  The credit enhancement for
the class D notes provided by the reserve fund has increased to
4.27% from 2.25% of the current outstanding balance as a result
of the amortization of the most senior notes. The credit
enhancement of the class D notes as a percentage of
outstanding balance of the notes is expected to remain at 4.27%
given the transaction reserve fund amortization mechanism.  
  
Standard & Poor's will now conduct a more detailed analysis to
investigate whether these notes can attain a higher rating. The
results of this review and any rating changes will be reported
in due course.
  
The transaction, which closed in August 2006, is backed by a
pool of German equipment lease receivables originated by Grenke
Leasing AG.

proposal to the Conference Football League in an attempt to save
the club from going into administration, Coventry Telegraph

SALISBURY INTERNATIONAL: Moody's Junks Rating on Class D Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded 5 classes of notes
issued by Salisbury International Investments Limited.

These rating actions are in response to severe credit
deterioration in the underlying portfolios.  The rated
transactions are static CDOs referencing portfolios of high-
grade first and second lien RMBS and subprime RMBS assets of the
2004 and 2005 vintages mainly.

Moody's announced on Feb. 4, 2008, that it is revising its
expected loss assumptions which are used for surveillance of
ratings of ABS CDOs holding subprime RMBS, specifically of the
2006 vintage.  Moody's stated that for purposes of monitoring
its ratings of ABS CDOs with exposure to 2006 subprime RMBS, it
will rely on certain projections of the lifetime average
cumulative losses for 2006's quarterly vintages of RMBS set
forth in a recent Moody's Special Report, "Moody's Updates Loss
Projections for 2006 Subprime Loans."  This report illustrates
average loss results for the 2006 quarterly vintages under five
distinct loss projection scenarios.  Moody's explained that it
will utilise the range of loss projections set forth in
Scenarios 2 and 3 based on deal performance and quarterly
vintage to modify its prior assumptions of the expected loss
inputs when monitoring ABS CDO ratings.

Moody's will continue to monitor all deals with exposure to US
subprime RMBS, and will take further actions in respect of all
CDOs placed under review for downgrade once the extent of actual
downgrades to US RMBS vintages becomes known.

These actions are:

   (1) Series 2005-10 US$18,750,000 Class C Secured Floating
       Rate Portfolio Linked Notes due 2025

    -- Current Rating: B1, on review for downgrade
    -- Prior Rating: A2

   (2) Series 2005-11 US$18,750,000 Class C Secured Floating

SUPER AGURI: Goes Into Administration; Looking for Buyers
---------------------------------------------------------
Administrators have been appointed to seek a buyer for Super
Aguri F1 Team.  It follows boss Aguri Suzuki’s decision earlier
this week to cease racing activity and withdraw the team from
the 2008 FIA Formula One World Championship.

The administrators say they are seeking to sell the business as
an ongoing concern to a company or individual looking to launch
a Formula One or other motorsport operation and claim that
several expressions of interest have already been received.

"This Administration provides a unique opportunity to get into
high-level motorsport without having to build an operation from
scratch," joint administrator Philip Long said in a statement.
In terms of capability a new team could easily be up and running
for the 2009 Formula One season.

"Virtually everything is in place including the people, the
technical expertise, the laboratories and testing facilities.  A
new team could walk in and take over a fully operational unit
from day one.  There are a number of other motor sport projects
being undertaken which should interest the motor racing world."

Based in Leafield, United Kingdom, Super Aguri F1 Team  --
http://www.saf1.co.jp/en/ -- is a Formula One team that  
competed since 2006 and finished ninth overall in the 2007
constructors’ championship.  In addition to their two drivers,
Anthony Davidson and Takuma Sato, the team employed more than 90
people at the site.


WOK MAGIC: Calls In Liquidators from Vantis

* S&P Takes Various Rating Actions on 17 Catastrophe Bonds
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services took various rating actions
on 11 natural catastrophe bonds and six mortality catastrophe
bonds.
      
"These actions reflect the revision of the default table we use
to rate insurance-linked securitizations," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Cameron Heath.  "We revise the default
table periodically to better reflect observed historical
corporate defaults."

S&p raised the ratings on eight natural peril catastrophe bonds
and one mortality catastrophe bond by one notch. We also lowered
the ratings on three natural peril catastrophe bonds and four
mortality catastrophe bonds by one notch as well as one
mortality catastrophe bond by two notches.

Standard & Poor's is not taking any rating action on notes with
less than 12 months to the stated maturity. The reason is that
for the six notes that would have otherwise been downgraded, the
passage of time will typically reduce the probability of
attachment.  Therefore, the probability of attachment
based on the time to maturity would be less than the one-year
probability of attachment that the revised default table uses.

study of the changes that took place in the regulation of
nursing homes in New York between 1975 and 1980.

It covers the history of the regulatory offensive in New York
and strategies of control and their effectiveness, touching on
such subjects as professional standards, rate setting,
reimbursement, criminal prosecution, and consumers.

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
