DELPHI CORP: GM Wants to Participate in Appaloosa Adversary Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
General Motors Corp. seeks authority from the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York to participate in
the adversary proceedings filed by Delphi Corp. against
Appaloosa, Management, L.P., et al.  GM wants to participate in
the proceedings as a "party-in-interest."

Delphi's ties with Appaloosa, et al., soured after Delphi sought
funding of the US$2,825,000,000 of its US$6,100,000,000 exit
debt financing facility from General Motors, its primary
customer.  The lenders, including GM, were ready to close
April 4, but the financing agreements have been terminated after
Appaloosa, et al., pulled out from their commitment to provide
US$2,550,000,000 of equity financing to Delphi.

Michael P. Kessler, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, in New
York, tells the Court that GM wants to:

  (i) appear before the Court on any matter arising in the
      adversary proceedings, including hearings and chambers
      conferences;

(ii) participate in settlement discussions, mediation sessions
      and arbitrations regarding the Adversary Proceeding; and

(iii) participate in the discovery process, including through
      the review of documents produced and attendance at
      depositions.

Mr. Kessler asserts GM only seeks limited participation rights
sufficient to fully monitor the progress and status of the
adversary proceedings and to permit involvement in activities
likely to affect or overlap with the negotiation of a modified
new plan.  GM clarifies it does not intend to intervene at this
time as a plaintiff in the adversary proceedings, and it does
not intend to file pleadings, argue before the court, or examine
witnesses at depositions, hearings, or trial.

Delphi and the statutory committees appointed in the Chapter 11
cases -- the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the
Official Committee of Equity Security Holders have reached an
agreement with regarding the terms of their intervention in the
adversary proceedings, and they will have significantly more
information into the potential value of the litigation if GM is
not permitted to monitor the Adversary Proceeding, Mr. Kessler
points out.  GM cannot meaningfully negotiate over the value and
disposition of any proceeds of this litigation if it is not
afforded the opportunity to participate, including by attending
depositions and reviewing documents produced by the Plan
Investors.  Such an advantage to the other major constituents
would be unfair to GM given its role as one of the major
constituents in the case, Mr. Kessler adds.

Mr. Kessler notes that the participation rights now sought by GM
are the same as those GM has enjoyed in other major contested
matters in the Chapter 11 cases.  The relief now sought, then,
is not only justified by GM's unique role in Delphi's
reorganization, but is consistent with past practice in these
cases, Mr. Kessler contends.

               GM Involved in New Plan Talks with
                 Delphi and Creditors Committee

GM says that it is a major constituent of a new plan under
negotiation together with Delphi and the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors.  GM has been asked to provide major support
through financial contributions, subsidies and loans, Mr.
Kessler discloses.

GM adds its interest in participating in the adversary
proceedings is in the litigation's representation of a
significant asset of the Debtors' estates.  The terms and
conditions of a modified or new plan will depend, in part, on
the value ascribed to the litigation and the disposition of any
recoveries from the litigation, Mr. Kessler avers.

                    Delphi Opposes Dismissal

In light of the Plan Investors' request for dismissal of the
adversary proceedings, Delphi is defiant, saying that the
defendants engaged in serious misconducts that have caused
devastating harm to the company and its many stakeholders, and
pleaded two theories of fraud against Appaloosa Management,
L.P., for:

  (i) fraudulently inducing Delphi to enter in the December
      2007, Equity Purchase & Commitment Agreement by having its
      president, David Tepper, represent that AMLP had committed
      a minimum of US$1,100,000,000 of its own capital when in
      fact, AMLP intended to invest nothing if it did not like
      the economics of the deal at closing, even if Delphi
      complied with the conditions precedent to the defendants'
      commitments, and

(ii) fraudulently concealing its plans efforts, before and
      after confirmation of the Joint Plan of Reorganization of
      Delphi, to avoid a closing and avoid consummation of the
      Plan.

The Official Committees join in Delphi in its opposition to the
Motions for Dismissal, asserting they too have been injured by
the Plan Investors' acts.

Representing Delphi, Edward A. Friedman, Esq., at Friedman
Kaplan Seiler & Adelman LLP, tells the Court that the Plan
Investorshave conspired to avoid their commitments to Delphi and
ultimately renounced any intention to perform, despite their
contractual commitments to provide the equity financing
necessary for the consummation of the Reorganization Plan, and
despite their repeated assurances to Delphi and to the Court
that they would honor their commitments.

Mr. Friedman says, the Plan Investors' misconduct resulted in
Delphi's remaining in bankruptcy, despite obtaining confirmation
of the Plan in January, and obtaining commitments for its
US$6,100,000,000 debt financing in April.

"Now defendants argue that, even if they behaved exactly as
Delphi alleges, the Court is powerless to enforce the parties'
agreements," Mr. Friedman asserts.  The Defendants, he says, are
arguing that there is no remedy for their breach of contract if
they did not do it at will, but even if they did so willfully,
only limited monetary damages will be imposed on them, contrary
to what the parties agreed and contrary to what the law
provides.

The remedies available to redress Delphi's injury, Mr. Friedman
asserts, turn on disputed facts, which cannot be determined on
the face of the pleadings.  The defendants' arguments are based
on four major premises, which he discusses one by one:

  (i) The specific performance of a contract to provide money is
      always precluded as a matter of law.

      This rule does not exist, Mr. Friedman says.  As in most
      cases, the injured party can obtain substitute performance
      elsewhere, then  sue to recover any increased costs.  In
      the case of Delphi, substitute performance is not
      available.  The plaintiff cannot obtain the money
      elsewhere on similar terms and the complex nature of the
      transaction makes damages difficult to measure, and this
      must be resolved on a full record, not on the pleadings.

      Delphi's inability to find another US$2.55 billion equity
      package makes substitute performance impossible.  It also
      makes the calculation of Delphi's damages very difficult,
      Mr. Friedman relates.  The Court would have to weigh the
      accuracy and credibility of competing fact and expert
      witnesses trying to estimate the difference in value
      between the equity package promised by the defendants and
      what a hypothetical alternative investor might
      theoretically charge for a similar package.  The Court
      would also need to weigh the injury caused by all the
      other changes to the Plan a hypothetical substitute
      investment might require, Mr. Friedman adds.

(ii) Even if the Court could order specific performance, it may
      not do so because the parties' agreements forbid it.

      This contention raises a question of fact because even if
      the agreements could be read, under New York Law, any
      contractual limitation on the remedies available for
      breach is unenforceable, as a matter of public policy, if
      the breaching party is guilty of willful misconduct or has
      acted with reckless indifference to the damage it is
      inflicting, Mr. Friedman notes.

      He asserts the Defendants' commitments were an integral
      part of the plan to consummate one of the largest public
      company reorganizations in history.  The reorganized
      Delphi represents a unique asset of incalculable value
      to its employees, its community, and its many other
      stakeholders.  The proposed transaction involves a unique
      and irreplaceable asset, Mr. Friedman avers.

(iii) Section 12(d) of the EPCA permitted termination of the
      contract without cause as of April 5, 2008, if the
      transaction had not closed by April 4.

      It did not close by that date, so the defendants argue
      that they had an unequivocal right to walk away, making
      specific performance impossible whatever the merits if
      Delphi's claims, Mr. Friedman adds.  It is settled law,
      however, that a party cannot take advantage of its own
      wrongdoing in that fashion.  If, as Delphi alleges, the
      sole reason the transaction did not close on April 4 is
      that the Defendants improperly terminated the contract on
      that date, they cannot claim the benefit of a provision
      that would have had no application but for their own
      misconduct, Mr. Friedman contends.

      Even if the EPCA and the Commitment Letter Agreements
      could be read to preclude specific performance, that
      preclusion would be unenforceable as a matter of public
      policy.  It is well-established under New York law that,
      where a defendant has breached a contract in bad faith or
      through willful misconduct, a limitation--liability
      provision will not be enforced and will not preclude any
      legal or equitable remedy otherwise appropriate. Public
      policy precludes enforcement of a contractual limitation
      on liability or remedy where the defendant has acted in
      bad faith, Mr. Friedman explains.

(iv) The Defendants argue that the Court need not reach the
      question of remedy because they did not breach their
      agreements at all.  They contended that Delphi failed go
      satisfy various conditions precedent, excusing
      their performance.

      Mr. Friedman laments the Defendants are free to try to
      make the case, which is without merit in any event, but
      not on the pleadings.  It is beyond question that Delphi
      pleaded "generally that all conditions precedent had
      occurred or been performed,' and nothing more is required,
      Mr. Friedman tells the Court.

      A defendant that fails to plead non-compliance with a
      particular condition waives its right to invoke that
      condition in its defense.  At this point, the Defendants
      have not yet pleaded, so any alleged failure of a
      condition is not yet an issue.  The Defendants' suggestion
      that the complaint should be dismissed because Delphi did
      not anticipate which conditions the defendants might argue
      were unsatisfied, and address those defenses preemptively,
      is without merit, Mr. Friedman maintains .

In deciding a motion to dismiss, a court will accept the
complaint as true and draw all reasonable inference in the
plaintiff's favor.  A defendant cannot obtain dismissal of an
adequately pleaded complaint with the argument "that the
plaintiff will not fail to find evidentiary support for his
allegations, because the issue is not whether the plaintiff
ultimately will prevail but whether the plaintiff is entitled to
offer evidence to support its claims, Mr. Friedman states.

Delphi asks the court to deny the Motions to Dismiss, asserting
that hearing the case will lead to the discovery and trial for
of Delphi's claims and the determination of the appropriate
remedy.

         Parties Stipulate on Confidential Information

Delphi, the Committees, and the Plan Investors anticipate that
the documents provided in the adversary proceedings may involve
information that are sensitive and confidential in nature.
Accordingly, they agree to these terms:

  * Discovery Material that contains information that is (i) not
    generally available to the public and (ii) sensitive
    commercial, financial, or business information, sensitive
    personal information, trade secrets, or other confidential
    research, development, or commercial information the public
    disclosure of which may adversely affect the producing party
    may be designated as "Confidential."

  * Discovery Material that poses a reasonable risk of
    competitive or other harm to the Producing Party or non-
    party, maybe classified as "Highly Confidential."

  * Confidential Discovery Material will only be available to
    the Court, the Court employees directly involved in the
    proceeding, counsel to the Parties in the Chapter 11 cases,
    and third-party contractors working on the data in
    connection with the action, and any joining party required
    to provide assistance in the conduct of these cases.

  * "Highly Confidential" Discovery Materials will be available
    only to the Court, the Court employees directly involved in
    the proceedings, counsel to the parties in these cases and
    their staff, and third party contractors engaged in working
    on the data in connection with the action.  Consultants,
    advisors, investigators, or experts employed by counsel in
    connection with the Chapter 11 cases may be authorized
    access to "Highly Confidential' Discovery Materials when
    necessary, provided they sign a confidentiality agreement.

  * A party who desires to provide "Highly Confidential'
    materials to persons not authorized in the Stipulation will
    have to make an appropriate application to the Court.

  * The unintentional disclosure by a producing party of
    unmarked Confidential Discovery Materials will not be deemed
    as a waiver of the party's claim of confidentiality, and the
    unintentional production of any privileged material by the
    producing Party or a third party will not be deemed to be a
    waiver or impairment of any claim of privilege.

  * To the extent that Confidential Discovery Material is
    proposed to be filed or is filed with the Court, that
    Confidential Discovery Material, any portion of a pleading,
    motion or memorandum that discloses the Confidential
    Discovery Material will be filed under seal, together with a
    motion to seal the documents.

DELPHI CORP: Wants to Modify 19.1% Stake in Ener1 Venture
---------------------------------------------------------
Delphi Corp. and its debtor-affiliates ask the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York to allow Debtor
Delphi Automotive Systems LLC to enter into a Restructuring and
Exchange Agreement with Ener1, Inc., for the restructuring and
exchange of DAS LLC's ownership interests in EnerDel, Inc.,
pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and Rules 2004
and 6004(a) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

In 2004, DAS LLC and Ener1 Inc. formed a joint venture, EnerDel,
to design and manufacture lithium-ion battery technologies and
products.  The goal of the joint venture was to create an
alternative energy source and sell and distribute its products
globally.  EnerDel primarily focuses its lithium-ion batteries
business in the automotive, power tool, military, consumer
appliance, and personal mobility markets.  Ener1 contributed
capital and intellectual property to the joint venture, and in
exchange was granted 80.5% of EnerDel's common stock.

John Wm. Butler, Jr., Esq., at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &
Flom LLP, in Chicago, Illinois, tells the Court that DAS LLC
contributed proportionally a smaller amount of capital and
intellectual property to the joint venture and in exchange was
granted 19.5% of EnerDel's common stock.  DAS LLC was also
granted one of six seats on the EnerDel board of directors,
8,000 shares of EnerDel preferred stock and warrants to acquire
750,000 shares of Ener1 common stock with a strike price of US$7
per share, to expire on Oct. 20, 2011.

The low-cost, high-performance lithium-ion batteries that
EnerDel develops are designed for plug-in hybrid and extended-
range electric vehicles.  This niche is becoming increasingly
competitive, Mr. Butler avers.  Nevertheless, EnerDel believes
it has a feasible business plan for the development of the
lithium-ion batteries, and the global market for alternate fuel
sources is in the billions of dollars.

Mr. Butler tells the Hon. Robert Drain that the Restructuring
and Exchange Agreement which is aimed at restructuring the
ownership interests of DAS LLC in EnerDel to a more liquid
asset, provides, among others, that:

  (a) DAS LLC would transfer 19.5% Common Stock interest and its
      preferred Stock in EnerDel to its joint partner, Ener1, in
      exchange for (i) 2,086,000 shares of the Ener1 common
      stock valued at approximately US$19,500,000,
      (ii) US$8,000,000 cash, and (iii) revised warrants to
      acquire Ener1 common stock at an exercise price of US$5.25
      per share;

  (b) the non-compete provision in the Formation Agreement,
      which limits the options of DAS LLC and Ener1 to engage in
      operations to compete with EnerDel will remain in effect
      until October 20, 2010;

  (c) EnerDel would continue to license intellectual property to
      DAS LLC for the use of, manufacture, and sale of products
      other than lithium batteries;

  (d) the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement could be
      terminated prior to the closing upon (1) mutual agreement
      by the parties, (2) termination by either party, provided
      that the terminating party is not in material breach of
      its obligations under the Restructuring and Exchange
      Agreement, if the closing does not occur on or five
      business days following the date an order approving the
      motion is no longer subject to a stay or injunction, (3)
      termination by either party if the other party materially
      breached its representations and warranties and the breach
      is not cured within 10 business days of written notice of
      the breaches, and (4) termination by either party, if the
      Court has not entered an order approving the motion on or
      before Sept. 2, 2008.

The Agreement is a product of both parties' good-faith and
arm's-length bargaining positions, Mr. Butler tells the Court.
The transactions and instruments contemplated by the Agreement,
he says, satisfies the requirements of Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

The Court will convene a hearing on July 31, 2008, at 10:00
a.m., to consider approval of the Debtors' request.  Objections
are due July 24, 2008 at 4:00 p.m.

ADVANCED MICRO: Will Write Down US$880 Million on ATI Purchase
--------------------------------------------------------------
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. said it will take goodwill and
intangible asset impairment charges of around US$880 million,
mostly due to its 2006 acquisition of ATI Technologies.

The charges were associated with the Handheld and DTV reporting
units which have not performed in accordance with the company's
expectations.

As a result of these impairment charges, the company will not be
required to make any current or future cash expenditures.

                        Restructuring Plan

During the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2008, the company
implemented a restructuring plan to reduce its breakeven point.
The plan involves the termination of employees which commenced
during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and is expected to
complete by the end of fiscal 2008.

The company expects to record a restructuring charge of
approximately US$32 million in the second quarter of 2008.  A
part of this US$32 million charge is related to employee
severance, and a majority of this severance was paid by the
company during the second quarter of 2008.

The company believes that subsequent charges related to this
restructuring plan will consist of employee severance payments.
However, the company does not expect these charges to be
material.

In addition, in the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2008, the
company expects to incur other-than-temporary investment
impairment charges of approximately US$36 million related to the
company's short-term investments.

These charges consist of a US$24 million charge for the
company's investment in Spansion Inc., a former joint venture of
AMD and Fujitsu Ltd., and a US$12 million charge related to the
company's holdings in Auction Rate Securities.

Also, during the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2008, the company
expects to recognize a gain in connection with sales of certain
200mm wafer fabrication tools, which the company expects will
have a materially favorable impact on its gross margin for the
second quarter of 2008.  The company's estimate is that the
gross margin impact will be approximately US$190 million.

The Wall Street Journal related that the charges are the latest
in a series of negative financial news from AMD, whose shares
have shed two-thirds of their value in the past 12 months.

AMD's shares declined after the statement to US$4.84, down
12 cents, the Journal added.

PARMALAT SPA: Expects EUR350 Million EBITDA for 2008
----------------------------------------------------
Parmalat S.p.A. has released its new guidance for financial year
2008

According to the company, the worsening of the economic and
financial crisis has affected the economic trend of Parmalat
Australia and Parmalat South Africa.  To this situation a major
decline of the Italian market must be added.

Damages suffered by these markets have been only partially
compensated by the positive trend of other subsidiaries and by
the operational actions already implemented and in course
of implementation.

In consideration of the context described above and in absence
of extraordinary events, the new "guidance" for the Group
presents an increase in revenues of 3% respect to 2007, while it
is reasonable to expect that EBITDA of the Group, for this
period, could be approximately EUR350 million, (with a
contraction of 5% approximately respect to 2007).

Parmalat reminds that the Board of Directors will examine the
preliminary data as at June 30, 2008, on July 30, 2008.

NOVATEK OAO: S&P Lifts Corporate Credit Rating to BB+ From BB
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has raised its long-term
corporate credit rating on OAO Novatek, Russia's largest
independent natural gas producer, to 'BB+' from 'BB'.  The
outlook is stable.

At the same time, the Russia national scale rating on Novatek
was raised to 'ruAA+' from 'ruAA'.

"The upgrade reflects Novatek's very healthy credit metrics --
despite ongoing large growth-oriented capital expenditures --
and its high profitability, supported by the improving
fundamentals of Russia's gas industry, a profitable condensate
business, and efficient low-cost operations, said S&P's credit
analyst Elena Anankina.

The upgrade also acknowledges Novatek's positive track record of
cooperation with state-controlled Russian gas giant OAO Gazprom
(BBB/Stable/--).

As at March 31, 2008, Novatek's reported debt was RUR5.1 billion
(RUR6.4 billion adjusted), compared with RUR5.2 billion in cash.

Gas industry risk in Russia includes low domestic prices and
operational dependence on monopoly gas exporter Gazprom, which
produces 84% of Russia's gas and owns all of the country's gas
pipelines.  Although Novatek's prices are unregulated, they
indirectly depend on Gazprom's prices, which the government
sets very low.

NOVATEK is responsible for only 4% of Russia's gas production
and has a geographically concentrated reserve base.  Its massive
growth-oriented investment program is expected to result in
negative free cash flow and increased debt in 2008-2009.

However, Novatek's exposure to these risks is offset by a number
of factors:

   -- Gazprom's interest in having smaller independent companies
      such as Novatek satisfy growing domestic demand at low
      prices, so that Gazprom can use a higher share of its
      stable production for lucrative exports;

   -- Gazprom owns 19.4% of Novatek and has some influence on
      Novatek's strategy and growth plans;

   -- Novatek enjoys a very low cost position;

   -- Diversification into the gas condensate business boosts
      Novatek's profits thanks to high prices and relatively low
      Taxes; and

   -- Novatek's gas business has virtually no downside price
      risks.

"We expect Novatek's operating cash flow to benefit from
increasing domestic gas realizations, high liquids prices, and
competitive costs -- despite ongoing ruble appreciation," said
Ms. Anankina.

"Because of heavy growth-oriented investments, however, we
expect Novatek's cash flow to turn negative in the next two or
three years, while the resulting production growth should only
come only in late 2008 or in 2009.  Nevertheless, despite an
expected increase in debt, Novatek's credit metrics should
remain solid," she added.

Ratings upside over the long term will be driven by the
continuing increase in domestic gas prices and the
implementation of the company's long-term strategy of
strengthening its business profile while keeping a robust
financial profile.

The current rating has some flexibility for about US$500 million
to US$1 billion in acquisitions if they strengthen and diversify
the group's business.  Even though such transactions could lead
to a temporary debt buildup, S&P expects Novatek to subsequently
return to its financial policy target of keeping the ratio of
net debt to EBITDA below 1x, because higher gas and condensate
prices should boost the company's future profits.

Adverse regulatory changes, heightened operational risk from
Gazprom -- which is not S&P's base case scenario -- or major
debt-financed acquisitions could constrain ratings upside or
even pressure the rating or outlook.

TERMMING AS: Moody's Holds Ba1.sk Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the national scale
corporate family rating of Termming of Ba1.sk, and changed the
outlook to stable from negative.

The change in outlook mainly reflects stabilization of the
company's financial driven by a successful reorganization within
the company after acquisitions done in 2006, a strategic change
in management's acquisition appetite and capex primarily focused
on upgrade of technologies and change of heating sources from
gas to biomass, allowing more economical heating production
going forward.

Regarding Termming's financial, after generation of the highest
loss in the history of the company in 2006 Termming turned up to
positive result in 2007 and further improvement is expected in
2008.  The financial stabilization of Termming is driven by
successful reorganization within the company resulting in
reduction of personnel expenses by 14%, while further 5%
decrease in personnel expenses is expected in 2008.  Moreover,
Termming kept its profit despite very unfavorable climate
conditions for the heating companies caused by the extremely
mild winter in 2007.

Although acquisitions are the most important factor in
Termming's franchise expansion, the company's management is
cautious regarding further increase in leverage.  Regarding
acquisition policy, as the prime target Termming endeavours to
acquire currently leased heating facilities. Furthermore, any
new acquisitions or capex over the maintenance planned by the
company will be funded through project financing without a need
for cross funding from current operations.

Following the change its rating outlook to stable from negative,
Moody's expects sustainability of stabilization and improvement
in Termming's financial profile (as represented by coverage
metrics such as EBITDA/Interest expense or FFO interest
coverage), profitability and capital base, and funding.

                       About Termming

Headquartered in the Slovak capital of Bratislava, Termming,
a.s. is a local important producer and distributor of steam
heating for the city of Bratislava and surrounding areas. Of its
total 2007 sales of SKK431 million (EUR12.8 million), 99% is

MADRID RMBS III: S&P Puts BBB/BB Ratings on CreditWatch Negative
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has placed on CreditWatch
with negative implications its credit ratings on the class D and
E notes issued by MADRID RMBS III, Fondo de Titulizacion de
Activos.  The ratings on all other classes remain unaffected.

The CreditWatch placements are due to the deterioration of the
underlying pool quality.  S&P will now carry out a more detailed
analysis of this transaction to investigate whether any change
to the ratings assigned to the notes is warranted.  The results
of this review and any changes in the ratings are expected in
due course.

S&P also reviewed MADRID RMBS I, Fondo de Titulizacion de
Activos and MADRID RMBS IV, Fondo de Titulizacion de Activos,
and S&P's review concluded that there has been no effect on the
ratings at this point in time.  However, S&P has comparatively
less visibility on the performance of MADRID RMBS IV given its
relative seasoning.  If performance metrics mirror those of
MADRID RMBS II or III, the ratings on MADRID RMBS IV could
potentially come under pressure.

In contrast, current levels of available structural enhancement
and a relatively stronger performance have meant that MADRID
RMBS I is currently better positioned to withstand further
deterioration than the other three transactions.

The MADRID RMBS III notes, issued in July 2007, were backed at
closing by a EUR3 billion portfolio comprising residential
mortgage-backed loans secured over residential properties in
Spain.  The loans were originated and are serviced by Caja de
Ahorros y Monte de Piedad de Madrid.

GENERAL MOTORS: Wants to Participate in Delphi-Appaloosa Lawsuit
----------------------------------------------------------------
General Motors Corp. seeks authority from the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York to participate in
the adversary proceedings filed by Delphi Corp. against
Appaloosa, Management, L.P., et al.  GM wants to participate in
the proceedings as a "party-in-interest."

As previously reported, Delphi's ties with Appaloosa, et al.,
soured after Delphi sought funding of the US$2,825,000,000 of
its US$6,100,000,000 exit debt financing facility from General
Motors, its primary customer.  The lenders, including GM, were
ready to close April 4, but the financing agreements have been
terminated after Appaloosa, et al., pulled out from their
commitment to provide US$2,550,000,000 of equity financing to
Delphi.

Michael P. Kessler, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, in New
York, tells the Court that GM wants to:

  (i) appear before the Court on any matter arising in the
      adversary proceedings, including hearings and chambers
      conferences;

(ii) participate in settlement discussions, mediation sessions
      and arbitrations regarding the Adversary Proceeding; and

(iii) participate in the discovery process, including through
      the review of documents produced and attendance at
      depositions.

Mr. Kessler asserts GM only seeks limited participation rights
sufficient to fully monitor the progress and status of the
adversary proceedings and to permit involvement in activities
likely to affect or overlap with the negotiation of a modified
new plan.  GM clarifies it does not intend to intervene at this
time as a plaintiff in the adversary proceedings, and it does
not intend to file pleadings, argue before the court, or examine
witnesses at depositions, hearings, or trial.

Delphi and the statutory committees appointed in the Chapter 11
cases -- the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the
Official Committee of Equity Security Holders have reached an
agreement with regarding the terms of their intervention in the
adversary proceedings, and they will have significantly more
information into the potential value of the litigation if GM is
not permitted to monitor the Adversary Proceeding, Mr. Kessler
points out.  GM cannot meaningfully negotiate over the value and
disposition of any proceeds of this litigation if it is not
afforded the opportunity to participate, including by attending
depositions and reviewing documents produced by the Plan
Investors.  Such an advantage to the other major constituents
would be unfair to GM given its role as one of the major
constituents in the case, Mr. Kessler adds.

Mr. Kessler notes that the participation rights now sought by GM
are the same as those GM has enjoyed in other major contested
matters in the Chapter 11 cases.  The relief now sought, then,
is not only justified by GM's unique role in Delphi's
reorganization, but is consistent with past practice in these
cases, Mr. Kessler contends.

              GM Involved in New Plan Talks with
                 Delphi and Creditors Committee

GM says that it is a major constituent of a new plan under
negotiation together with Delphi and the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors.  GM has been asked to provide major support
through financial contributions, subsidies and loans, Mr.
Kessler discloses.

GM adds its interest in participating in the adversary
proceedings is in the litigation's representation of a
significant asset of the Debtors' estates.  The terms and
conditions of a modified or new plan will depend, in part, on
the value ascribed to the litigation and the disposition of any
recoveries from the litigation, Mr. Kessler avers.

                    Delphi Opposes Dismissal

In light of the Plan Investors' request for dismissal of the
adversary proceedings, Delphi is defiant, saying that the
defendants engaged in serious misconducts that have caused
devastating harm to the company and its many stakeholders, and
pleaded two theories of fraud against Appaloosa Management,
L.P., for:

  (i) fraudulently inducing Delphi to enter in the December
      2007, Equity Purchase & Commitment Agreement by having its
      president, David Tepper, represent that AMLP had committed
      a minimum of US$1,100,000,000 of its own capital when in
      fact, AMLP intended to invest nothing if it did not like
      the economics of the deal at closing, even if Delphi
      complied with the conditions precedent to the defendants'
      commitments, and

(ii) fraudulently concealing its plans efforts, before and
      after confirmation of the Joint Plan of Reorganization of
      Delphi, to avoid a closing and avoid consummation of the
      Plan.

The Official Committees join in Delphi in its opposition to the
Motions for Dismissal, asserting they too have been injured by
the Plan Investors' acts.

Representing Delphi, Edward A. Friedman, Esq., at Friedman
Kaplan Seiler & Adelman LLP, tells the Court that the Plan
Investorshave conspired to avoid their commitments to Delphi and
ultimately renounced any intention to perform, despite their
contractual commitments to provide the equity financing
necessary for the consummation of the Reorganization Plan, and
despite their repeated assurances to Delphi and to the Court
that they would honor their commitments.

Mr. Friedman says, the Plan Investors' misconduct resulted in
Delphi's remaining in bankruptcy, despite obtaining confirmation
of the Plan in January, and obtaining commitments for its
US$6,100,000,000 debt financing in April.

"Now defendants argue that, even if they behaved exactly as
Delphi alleges, the Court is powerless to enforce the parties'
agreements," Mr. Friedman asserts.  The Defendants, he says, are
arguing that there is no remedy for their breach of contract if
they did not do it at will, but even if they did so willfully,
only limited monetary damages will be imposed on them, contrary
to what the parties agreed and contrary to what the law
provides.

The remedies available to redress Delphi's injury, Mr. Friedman
asserts, turn on disputed facts, which cannot be determined on
the face of the pleadings.  The defendants' arguments are based
on four major premises, which he discusses one by one:

  (i) The specific performance of a contract to provide money is
      always precluded as a matter of law.

      This rule does not exist, Mr. Friedman says.  As in most
      cases, the injured party can obtain substitute performance
      elsewhere, then  sue to recover any increased costs.  In
      the case of Delphi, substitute performance is not
      available.  The plaintiff cannot obtain the money
      elsewhere on similar terms and the complex nature of the
      transaction makes damages difficult to measure, and this
      must be resolved on a full record, not on the pleadings.

      Delphi's inability to find another US$2.55 billion equity
      package makes substitute performance impossible.  It also
      makes the calculation of Delphi's damages very difficult,
      Mr. Friedman relates.  The Court would have to weigh the
      accuracy and credibility of competing fact and expert
      witnesses trying to estimate the difference in value
      between the equity package promised by the defendants and
      what a hypothetical alternative investor might
      theoretically charge for a similar package.  The Court
      would also need to weigh the injury caused by all the
      other changes to the Plan a hypothetical substitute
      investment might require, Mr. Friedman adds.

(ii) Even if the Court could order specific performance, it may
      not do so because the parties' agreements forbid it.

      This contention raises a question of fact because even if
      the agreements could be read, under New York Law, any
      contractual limitation on the remedies available for
      breach is unenforceable, as a matter of public policy, if
      the breaching party is guilty of willful misconduct or has
      acted with reckless indifference to the damage it is
      inflicting, Mr. Friedman notes.

      He asserts the Defendants' commitments were an integral
      part of the plan to consummate one of the largest public
      company reorganizations in history.  The reorganized
      Delphi represents a unique asset of incalculable value
      to its employees, its community, and its many other
      stakeholders.  The proposed transaction involves a unique
      and irreplaceable asset, Mr. Friedman avers.

(iii) Section 12(d) of the EPCA permitted termination of the
      contract without cause as of April 5, 2008, if the
      transaction had not closed by April 4.

      It did not close by that date, so the defendants argue
      that they had an unequivocal right to walk away, making
      specific performance impossible whatever the merits if
      Delphi's claims, Mr. Friedman adds.  It is settled law,
      however, that a party cannot take advantage of its own
      wrongdoing in that fashion.  If, as Delphi alleges, the
      sole reason the transaction did not close on April 4 is
      that the Defendants improperly terminated the contract on
      that date, they cannot claim the benefit of a provision
      that would have had no application but for their own
      misconduct, Mr. Friedman contends.

      Even if the EPCA and the Commitment Letter Agreements
      could be read to preclude specific performance, that
      preclusion would be unenforceable as a matter of public
      policy.  It is well-established under New York law that,
      where a defendant has breached a contract in bad faith or
      through willful misconduct, a limitation--liability
      provision will not be enforced and will not preclude any
      legal or equitable remedy otherwise appropriate. Public
      policy precludes enforcement of a contractual limitation
      on liability or remedy where the defendant has acted in
      bad faith, Mr. Friedman explains.

(iv) The Defendants argue that the Court need not reach the
      question of remedy because they did not breach their
      agreements at all.  They contended that Delphi failed go
      satisfy various conditions precedent, excusing
      their performance.

      Mr. Friedman laments the Defendants are free to try to
      make the case, which is without merit in any event, but
      not on the pleadings.  It is beyond question that Delphi
      pleaded "generally that all conditions precedent had
      occurred or been performed,' and nothing more is required,
      Mr. Friedman tells the Court.

      A defendant that fails to plead non-compliance with a
      particular condition waives its right to invoke that
      condition in its defense.  At this point, the Defendants
      have not yet pleaded, so any alleged failure of a
      condition is not yet an issue.  The Defendants' suggestion
      that the complaint should be dismissed because Delphi did
      not anticipate which conditions the defendants might argue
      were unsatisfied, and address those defenses preemptively,
      is without merit, Mr. Friedman maintains .

In deciding a motion to dismiss, a court will accept the
complaint as true and draw all reasonable inference in the
plaintiff's favor.  A defendant cannot obtain dismissal of an
adequately pleaded complaint with the argument "that the
plaintiff will not fail to find evidentiary support for his
allegations, because the issue is not whether the plaintiff
ultimately will prevail but whether the plaintiff is entitled to
offer evidence to support its claims, Mr. Friedman states.

Delphi asks the court to deny the Motions to Dismiss, asserting
that hearing the case will lead to the discovery and trial for
of Delphi's claims and the determination of the appropriate
remedy.

         Parties Stipulate on Confidential Information

Delphi, the Committees, and the Plan Investors anticipate that
the documents provided in the adversary proceedings may involve
information that are sensitive and confidential in nature.
Accordingly, they agree to these terms:

  * Discovery Material that contains information that is (i) not
    generally available to the public and (ii) sensitive
    commercial, financial, or business information, sensitive
    personal information, trade secrets, or other confidential
    research, development, or commercial information the public
    disclosure of which may adversely affect the producing party
    may be designated as "Confidential."

  * Discovery Material that poses a reasonable risk of
    competitive or other harm to the Producing Party or non-
    party, maybe classified as "Highly Confidential."

  * Confidential Discovery Material will only be available to
    the Court, the Court employees directly involved in the
    proceeding, counsel to the Parties in the Chapter 11 cases,
    and third-party contractors working on the data in
    connection with the action, and any joining party required
    to provide assistance in the conduct of these cases.

  * "Highly Confidential" Discovery Materials will be available
    only to the Court, the Court employees directly involved in
    the proceedings, counsel to the parties in these cases and
    their staff, and third party contractors engaged in working
    on the data in connection with the action.  Consultants,
    advisors, investigators, or experts employed by counsel in
    connection with the Chapter 11 cases may be authorized
    access to "Highly Confidential' Discovery Materials when
    necessary, provided they sign a confidentiality agreement.

  * A party who desires to provide "Highly Confidential'
    materials to persons not authorized in the Stipulation will
    have to make an appropriate application to the Court.

  * The unintentional disclosure by a producing party of

AGILENT TECHNOLOGY: Moody's Affirms Ba1 Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the existing ratings of
Agilent Technologies, Inc. and revised the outlook to positive.

The positive outlook reflects Agilent's continued execution of
its business model and solid financial performance.  It also
incorporates the company's strong demonstration of improved
revenue growth in conjunction with higher margins driven by new
product introductions, increased market penetration and
favorable product mix, as well as diversification of revenue
sources and end markets, continued cost containment, and minimal
restructuring charges.  The outlook incorporates our
expectations that Agilent's electronic measurement (EM)
business, which accounts for roughly 62% of total revenues, will
demonstrate growth and operating margin characteristics at least
comparable to its business segment peers.

Although the company's financial measures are more indicative of
a Baa3 rating, Moody's remains concerned that sluggish order
growth in the EM business and a potential slowdown in Asian
markets could impact Agilent's financial performance later this
year and/or in early 2009.  Moody's notes that Agilent's Asian
sales account for nearly 40% of net revenues.  The Ba1 CFR also
incorporates financial policies that are shareholder-friendly.
Moody's expects the company to remain aggressive in share
buybacks, especially given the amount of excess balance sheet
cash and since a portion of senior management compensation
continues to be based on relative share price performance.  ]

The rating agency cited that the positive outlook factors in the
expectation that Agilent will manage annual share repurchases
within its generation of annual free cash flow (FCF) plus excess
(unrestricted) cash balances above US$1.3 billion, while
maintaining debt to EBITDA of no more than 2 -- 2.5x (excludes
World Trade Enhanced Note) on an as reported basis.

Historically, Agilent's share buybacks have ranged from
US$2 billion to US$4 billion per annum.  Finally, the Ba1 CFR
incorporates the potential for leveraging event risk given the
company's penchant to supplement growth through external means.
As world economies continue to show signs of deceleration,
Agilent may fall short of its 10% revenue growth target, which
could result in more reliance on acquisitions, albeit this would
be a departure from Agilent's current strategy.

The combination of these factors constrains the CFR at Ba1. How
the company manages share repurchases and acquisitions during a
period of weaker operating performance will be an important
factor in Moody's analysis of Agilent's ratings.  If there is no
dramatic deterioration in operating performance over the next
six to nine months in conjunction with a likely slowing of Asian
economies, and if Agilent is able to demonstrate financial
policies that are consistent with the rating agency's
expectations, without materially impacting financial leverage,
Moody's could upgrade the rating.

The company's SGL-1 rating reflects very good liquidity, which
is driven by Agilent'sUS$1.7 billion of unrestricted cash and
short-term investments and Moody's expectations for positive FCF
generation (after acquisitions) over the next 12-18 months.
Following completion of theUS$2 billion share repurchase program
in fiscal 2009, Moody's expects that Agilent will maintain cash
balances of around US$1.3 billion or more plus continued access
to a US$300 million multi-year committed unsecured credit
facility.  Additional liquidity support is derived from our
expectation that FCF generation will remain robust through
cycles given that operating performance continues to remain
solid.  Moody's expects that the bulk of FCF is likely to be
used for small, tuck-in acquisitions and remaining share
repurchases, thereby limiting further cash buildup.

The following ratings were affirmed:

* Corporate Family Rating -- Ba1

* Probability of Default Rating -- Ba1

* US$600 million Senior Unsecured Notes due 2017 -- Ba1 (LGD-4,
  52%)

* Speculative Grade Liquidity -- SGL-1

                  About Agilent Technologies

Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, Agilent Technologies,
Inc. is a leading measurement technology company serving the
communications, electronics, life sciences and chemical analysis
industries.  Net revenues and EBITDA (Moody's adjusted) for the
twelve months ended April 30, 2008 were US$5.7 billion and
US$1.1 billion, respectively.


AGILYSYS INC: To Appeal Nasdaq's Decision to Delist Securities
--------------------------------------------------------------
Agilysys Inc. will submit a request for a hearing before the
NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel to appeal NASDAQ's
determination to delist the company's shares.

On July 3, 2008, the company received a NASDAQ staff
determination letter stating the company's shares are subject to
potential delisting.  The potential delisting is related to
Agilysys' delay in filing its Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2008, with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, as required by Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).

The delay in filing the Form 10-K is due to Agilysys waiting on
audited financial statements for its investment in a foreign
entity.

On June 2, 2008, in the company's fourth quarter earnings
release, Agilysys recorded material other income of US$8.9
million during fiscal year 2008 resulting from its 20% ownership
interest in Magirus AG, a privately held enterprise computer
systems distributor headquartered in Germany.

Due to the materiality of Magirus to Agilysys' financial
statements in fiscal 2008, Agilysys requires audited
confirmation of Magirus income and SEC rules require audited
financial statements related to Magirus to be filed with the
company's Form 10-K.  Agilysys expects to file its Form 10-K
within 60 days.

The request for a hearing will automatically stay the delisting
of the company's common shares until the Panel makes its
decision.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 19, 2008,
Agilysys said its management and financial advisors will explore
strategic and financial alternatives to enhance shareholder
value.  These alternatives include continued implementation of
Agilysys strategic growth plan, a sale of certain assets or the
entire company, formation of joint ventures, and a change to the
company's capital structure.  The company has retained JPMorgan
as financial advisor in the evaluation process.

The company has also deferred its Aug. 1, 2008, annual meeting
of shareholders pending completion of the strategic evaluation.

               Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 3, 2008,
on Feb. 21, 2008, Agilysys entered into a fourth amendment
agreement to its credit agreement, dated Oct. 18, 2005.  The
credit agreement provides for loans and letters of credit
aggregating to US$200 million, including a US$20 million sub-
facility for letters of credit issued by LaSalle Bank NA or one
of its affiliates and a US$20 million sub-facility for swingline
loans, which are short-term loans generally used for working
capital requirements.

BAA LTD: S&P Retains BB- Corp. Credit Rating on Watch Developing
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' 'BB-' long-term corporate
credit rating on U.K.-based airports operator BAA Ltd. and its
'BBB-' senior unsecured issue ratings on BAA's guaranteed
nonconvertible bonds remain on CreditWatch with developing
implications, where they were placed on April 16, 2008.  This
action follows the publication to bond investors by BAA of the
consent solicitation document as part of its debt refinancing.

"The publication of this document represents a crucial
development in the long-awaited refinancing of BAA's legacy
bonds and of the acquisition debt of Airport Development and
Investment Ltd.," said S&P's credit analyst Vincent Allilaire.
(ADIL is a consortium led by Spanish concession and construction
group Grupo Ferrovial S.A.)  "The CreditWatch status, however,
continues to reflect our uncertainty about the eventual outcome
of the proposed refinancing."

BAA recently obtained the approval of the special committee of
the Association of British Insurers, an investor association, to
migrate their bonds into an investment-grade ring-fenced entity,
backed by guarantees and security from BAA's three designated
airports (Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted).  The consent
solicitation process now gives all other bondholders the ability
to discuss terms and conditions for their debt to be migrated.

Considering that the special committee of the Association of
British Insurers represents about 40% of BAA's British pound
sterling-denominated bonds, a majority of the bondholders have
still to agree on the proposed refinancing, which raises
uncertainty about the final outcome.

S&P understands that BAA's timeline is to implement the
refinancing in the second half of August 2008.  S&P also
understands that BAA's intention is to migrate the bonds and
refinance the acquisition debt at the same time.  The company
has secured in June 2008 commitments from nine banks to provide
a refinancing facility of GBP7.65 billion, to be used in
conjunction with the establishment of a permanent financing
structure by BAA.

The ratings will remain on CreditWatch pending final execution
of BAA-ADIL group's proposed permanent finance strategy.


BRITANNIA BULK: Moody's Raises Corporate Family Rating to B2
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has upgraded the corporate family
rating of Britannia Bulk plc to B2 from B3 and the senior
secured rating on the company's US$185 million senior notes due
2011 to B1 (LGD3, 40%) from B3.  The outlook on the ratings is
stable.

"The upgrades reflect not only the steady improvement in the
operating performance recorded by Britannia Bulk in the past two
years but also the increase in its financial flexibility
following the successful initial offering made by its parent
company Britannia Bulk Holding," says Marco Vetulli, a Moody's
Vice President and lead analyst for the company.

Moody's understands that Britannia Bulk Holding will use the net
proceeds from this offering, together with the amounts held in
Britannia Bulk's vessels acquisition account and borrowings
under a new US$170 million term loan facility signed in May with
Lloyds TSB Bank and Nordea Bank Denmark, for the repayment of
its existing secured notes and US$110 million secured bridge
facilities.  "Following this repayment, Britannia Bulk group
debt will be substantially lowered," notes Mr. Vetulli.

Following the redemption of the secured notes foreseen for 24
July 2008, Moody's will withdraw the company's outstanding
senior secured rating.

The B2 rating reflects Britannia Bulk's risk profile resulting
from the following credit challenges:

  (i) the high cyclicality of the bulk shipping market;

(ii) the company's aggressive vessel acquisition plan, which is
      expected to increase the current level of debt over the
      next two years;

(iii) the high average age of the fleet;

(iv) the company's short track record in the business -- it
      commenced operations in 2004; and (v) the operational risk
      of its activities -- Britannia Bulk operates its shipping
      activities in icy conditions for five months of the year.

These negative factors are partly offset by the following
strengths:

  (i) the company's good performance over the past three years;

(ii) the improvement in the quality of the fleet that has also
      resulted in the strengthening of its relationships with a
      number of high-quality customers;

(iii) its strong competitive position in Baltic drybulk market;
      and

(iv) Moody's expectation that the dry bulk market will remain
      strong in the coming years, supporting Britannia Bulk's
      activities.

The rating outlook is stable, reflecting Moody's view that there
is no evidence of any factors not already considered in the
current rating that could exert rating pressure in the near
term.

Britannia Bulk's rating could be strengthened if the company
were to show progress towards a Retained Cash Flow/Net Adj. Debt
ratio of around 15%, an EBIT/Interest coverage ratio above 2.5x
times and/or an EBITDA/Debt ratio (on adjusted basis) under 5x.
Conversely, the outlook or the rating could be adjusted downward
in the event of weaker-than-expected market conditions and/or re
leveraging.

The rating for the Senior Secured debt reflects both the overall
probability of default of the company to which Moody's assigns a
PDR of B2 and a loss give default of LDG3.  The two notches
upgrade reflect both a lower probability-of-default (PDR) to B2
and a lower expected loss driven largely by the increase of
other unsecured obligation such as operating lease commitments
(53%) in the capital structure of Britbulk; on a relative basis,
the secured senior notes has a more secured position in the
Company's capital structure because of the increased amount of
operating leases commitments.

Moody's previous rating action on the company was on 25 October
2006, when the ratings were initially assigned.

The following ratings have been upgraded:

- Corporate family rating, to B2 from B3;

- Senior secured rating on the USD 185 million notes due 2011,
   to B1 (LGD 3, 40%) from B3.

FEC RESOURCES: Posts US$5.95M Net Loss For Yr. Ended Dec. 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------
FEC Resources, Inc., reported a comprehensive loss of
CDN$5,946,541 on interest income of CDN$2,556 for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2007, compared with comprehensive loss of CDN$3,263,966
on interest income of CDN$29,050 in the same period ended Dec.
31, 2006.

The company's working capital at Dec. 31, 2007, was CDN$705,839
versus a deficit at Dec. 31, 2006, of CDN$3,153,000 and
shareholders' equity was CDN$8,623,000 compared with
CDN$9,617,000 at Dec. 31, 2006.  During 2006, the company raised
GBP1,400,000 pounds through the issue of convertible debentures
to fund its ongoing operations and development.  These
debentures matured on Dec. 20, 2007, and interest was calculated
at 10% per annum.  The debentures are secured by FEP shares.
The first year's interest was payable in advance on the closing
date and the second year's interest was payable in arrears on
the maturity date.  The company paid the first year's interest.

At any time after Aug. 2, 2006, and before or on the maturity
date, and provided the debt had not been fully repaid, the
holder has the right to convert all or any portion of the
convertible indebtedness owing to it as at the date of election
into the company's common shares, the number of such shares to
be based on the 10-day average closing bid price of the shares
prior to the date of the debenture being issued.  The holder
will also receive a cash bonus of the common shares for
conversion for the amount calculated as one-half of the
difference between the FEP share price on the date of the
debenture being issued and the FEP share price on the date of
maturity or conversion, i.e. the FEP share price at the date of
conversion or maturity minus the FEP share price on issuance of
debenture multiplied by 50%.

The debenture is secured by way of a charge over the shares of
FEP held by the company totaling 200% of the principal amount
invested.

On maturity, all of the debenture holders chose the cash
repayment of principal and interest plus 25% of the outstanding
principal as a bonus for not converting into shares.  The
company completed a private placement prior to year-end and paid
the entire amount outstanding on Jan. 2, 2008.

In May 2005, the company issued convertible debentures totaling
CDN$1,223,000 (US$970,000).  Each debenture bears simple
interest at the rate of 10% per annum and matures at the
earliest of full repayment or April 30, 2010.  The debentures
were sold in units of US$10 with US$5 warrants.  Each debenture
was convertible into the company's common shares at US$0.05 per
share or shares of FEP at US$1.923 per share.  Each warrant was
convertible into common shares of FEP at US$1.923 per share.
During the year-ended Dec. 31, 2006, upon agreement with the
various debenture holders, the debenture was amended whereby the
holder could choose to either receive a payment of principal,
interest and a twenty-four percent (24%) premium to the face
value of the debenture or the holder could convert the
debenture, interest, and warrants into shares at US$0.05 per
share.  In the event the holder chose the option to receive
payment and the company could not pay by Oct. 31, 2006, 12.5%
per annum interest would be added to the amounts outstanding
until paid.  The debenture holders chose to receive payment
rather than convert into shares, and on Nov. 24, 2006, the
company paid the outstanding interest and premium plus one half
of the outstanding principal of the debenture leaving US$485,000
outstanding, accruing further interest at 12.5% per annum.  In
late Dec. 2007, the company paid the full balance including
outstanding interest of US$67,000.

According to the management, working capital is insufficient to
meet the company's present requirements, however, if necessary,
the company will sell FEP shares to meet its working capital
needs since they are a publicly traded company.

Cash used in operating activities for the year was CDN$417,000
versus CDN$1,658,000 for the same period in 2006 mainly as a
result of the differences in the company's operations.

Cash provided by investing activities was CDN$426,000 for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2007, versus cash used in investing
activities of CDN$6,000 in the same period in 2006.  The
increase was mainly a result of the proceeds from the sale of
investments of CDN$623,000 being offset by funding for the
Lascogon exploration work program in the amount of CDN$208,000
in 2007 versus proceeds from the sale of investments of
CDN$1,359,000 being used for acquisition of investments in the
amount of CDN$1,380,000 in 2006.

Cash provided by financing activities was CDN$3,788,000 for the
year versus cash provided of CDN$1,024,000 for the year ending
December 31, 2006.  The cash raised during 2006 was from the
balance of the GBP1,400,000 debenture funds received subsequent
to Dec. 31, 2005, whereas in 2007, a repayment was made on part
of the GBP1,400,000 debentures outstanding and the US$485,000
balance of a previous debenture plus outstanding interest was
also paid off from funds raised by way of a private placement of
CDN$4,982,000 completed just prior to year-end.

In order to fully earn a forty percent (40%) interest in the
joint venture with PGI, the company was required to fund a total
of US$1,000,000 of the work program by October 2006, which was
completed.  In order to maintain the forty percent (40%)
interest the company was required to pay for forty percent (40%)
of the 2007 work program or its position could be diluted.  At
Dec. 31, 2007, the company owed US$134,000 and had not
contributed any funds to the 2008 work program.  In an attempt
to conserve cash resources, the company was in discussions on
ways to continue to hold its interest without being diluted
however this matter has not been resolved at this time.


At Dec. 31, 2007, the company's balance sheet showed
CDN$12,167,904 in total assets, CDN$3,544,364 in total
liabilities, and CDN$8,623,540 in total stockholders' equity.

GREATFLEET PLC: Enters Into Period of Protection
------------------------------------------------
Greatfleet Plc entered July 11, 2008, into a period of
protection pursuant to the provisions of the Insolvency Rules
1986.

Under protection the Board will work with the company's business
recovery advisers to undertake a review of the company's assets
including assessing how to protect the interests of creditors
and shareholders and considering the future of the company.

Possible options being considered at present by the Board
include a re-negotiation of the amounts owed to the company's
major creditor, a sale of some or all of the company's assets
and/or a refinancing of the company.

This period of protection will last for a period of ten business
days.

The Board will make further announcements as appropriate.

                   Suspension of Shares

On July 9, 2008, the London Stock Exchange has granted, a
suspension of the company's shares from trading on AIM with
immediate effect.  This suspension has been requested pending
clarification of the company's financial position on which the
Board is currently taking advice.

                       Debt Repayment

On July 9, 2008, the company received notice from one of its
major creditors that it required immediate repayment of
significant amounts owed to them, having previously informally
accepted repayment by installments.  This amount is an
accumulation of payments due to the creditor since 2004.  As a
consequence of this, the company's invoice discounting provider
notified the company that it was no longer prepared to advance
funds to the company until a payment plan has been agreed with
the creditor concerned.  At this time the Board do not believe
it is likely that such a payment plan can be agreed.

In addition, over the last couple of months trading in the
company's Qualitas business has continued in line with the
Board's expectations.  However, trading at Longbridge, the
Group's search and selection business in the legal, banking,
finance and technology sectors, has deteriorated significantly
in May and June to a level well below management's expectations,
leading to a substantial reduction in the company's working
capital.

WEIGHT WATCHERS: 17.5% VAT Imposed on U.K. Unit's Meeting Fees
--------------------------------------------------------------
Weight Watchers International, Inc. received an adverse ruling
from the U.K. Court of Appeal with respect to the imposition of
value added tax, or VAT, on Weight Watchers' meetings fees
collected since April 1, 2005, by the company's subsidiary,
Weight Watchers (U.K.) Limited.

The company previously disclosed that this adverse ruling, if
received, would result in a total estimated amount owed of
approximately US$50 million at Dec. 29, 2007, covering the
period April 1, 2005, through the end of fiscal 2007.  At the
time of that disclosure, the company recorded a charge of
approximately US$23 million in accordance with SFAS 5,
Accounting for Contingencies.  Therefore, as a result of this
ruling, in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the company will
record a charge in the amount not previously reserved for U.K.
VAT for this prior period, currently estimated to be
approximately US$28 million inclusive of interest accruing on
this amount through the second quarter of fiscal 2008.  This
incremental charge equates to a one-time reduction to 2008
earnings per fully diluted share of approximately US$0.22.

On a going forward basis, the company will record VAT charges
associated with U.K. meeting fees as earned, consistent with
this ruling.  The additional 2008 annualized charges for U.K.
VAT resulting from this ruling are estimated to be approximately
US$9 million.  These additional charges are expected to have the
impact of reducing fiscal 2008 earnings per fully diluted share
by approximately US$0.07, of which approximately US$5 million,
or US$0.04 per fully diluted share, is expected to be charged in
the second quarter of 2008 reflecting the additional VAT for
both the first and second quarters of fiscal 2008.

In summary, as a result of this ruling, the company expects to
incur a charge in the second quarter of 2008 for the period
April 1, 2005, through the end of the second quarter of 2008 of
approximately US$33 million, or US$0.26 per fully diluted share.
Both the prior period and the 2008 additional reduction to 2008
earnings per fully diluted share were not included in the
company's full year 2008 earnings guidance range.

For over a decade prior to April 1, 2005, Her Majesty's Revenue
and Customs, or HMRC, had determined that Weight Watchers
meetings fees in the U.K. were only partially subject to 17.5%
standard rated VAT.  In March 2005, HMRC reversed its prior
determinations and ruled that meetings fees in the U.K. should
be fully subject to 17.5% VAT.  It was the company's view that
HMRC's prior determinations should remain in effect and the
company successfully appealed HMRC's new determination to the
U.K. VAT and Duties Tribunal, which ruled on March 8, 2007, that
meetings fees should only be partially subject to 17.5% VAT.
HMRC appealed this ruling to the U.K. High Court of Justice,
which on Jan. 21, 2008 upheld the VAT Tribunal's decision in
part and reversed its decision in part.  Both the company and
HMRC appealed the High Court's decision to the U.K. Court of
Appeal.

On June 25, 2008, the U.K. Court of Appeal issued its ruling
that Weight Watchers meetings fees in the U.K. were fully
subject to 17.5% VAT, reversing the U.K. VAT Tribunal's 2007
decision in favor of the company.  The company is reviewing its
options, including whether to seek permission to appeal the
Court of Appeal's ruling to the U.K. House of Lords.

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

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book
of interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
