BALLY TECHNOLOGIES: Moody's Assigns Ba3 Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba3 Corporate Family rating
and Ba3 Probability of Default rating to Bally Technologies, Inc.
It also assigned a Ba3 rating to both the company's proposed
US$225 million senior secured term loan and US$75 million senior
secured revolving credit facility.  The new facilities will be
used to refinance the company's existing bank facilities.  Moody's
also assigned a Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-2.  The
ratings are subject to review of final documentation. The ratings
reflect Bally's small scale, technology and game development
risks, the need for continued spending on research and
development, the risk that player acceptance of Bally's games
could wane, and competition with a larger better capitalized
company. Ratings are supported by an improved product line-up,
rising returns and margins, low leverage, and strong interest
coverage.  As of June 30, 2008, Debt/EBITDA is modest at 1.2
times, with interest coverage (as measured by EBITDA-
CAPX/interest) solid for the rating at 5.6 times based upon
Moody's standard analytic adjustments.  Bally's operating
performance has improved over the past few years due to the
conversion to a single operating platform, the roll-out of popular
game titles pursuant to profitable lease arrangements, continued
leadership in gaming systems, and operating leverage from a
growing installed base of gaming units.

The Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-2 reflects Moody's
expectation that Bally can fund all operating and capital
investment needs internally, that the company can maintain a
reasonable level of availability under the revolving credit
facility, and that it will maintain ample head-room under
financial covenants.

Ratings assigned:

Bally Technologies, Inc.

   -- Corporate family rating of Ba3

   -- Probability of default rating of Ba3

   -- US$75 million senior secured revolving credit facility
      at Ba3(LGD 4, 51%)

   -- US$225 million senior secured term loan at Ba3 (LGD 4, 51%)

Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, Bally Technologies, Inc.
(NYSE: BYI) -- http://www.BallyTech.com/-- designs,    
manufactures, operates, and distributes advanced gaming devices,

area progressives and Class II lottery and central determination

casino management, slot accounting, bonus, cashless, and table

Rainbow Casino in Vicksburg, Mississippi.  The company's South
American operations are located in Argentina.  The company also

TYSON FOODS: Prices US$450 Mil. Convertible Senior Notes Offering
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tyson Foods Inc. has priced its registered underwritten public
offerings of Class A common stock and convertible senior notes due
2013.  The Company has agreed to sell 20 million shares of its
Class A common stock at a public offering price of US$12.75 per
share and has granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to
an additional 3 million shares of Class A common stock on the same
terms and conditions to cover over-allotments, if any.

An entity controlled by Don Tyson, the company's former Chairman
and current director, will be purchasing 3 million shares in the
offering.  The Company also announced the pricing of its public
offering of US$450 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25%
convertible senior notes.  Tyson has granted the underwriters an
option to purchase up to an additional US$67.5 million in
aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes on the same
terms and conditions to cover over-allotments, if any.

The convertible senior notes will pay interest semi-annually at a
rate of 3.25% per year and will mature on October 15, 2013.  The
convertible senior notes will be convertible under certain
circumstances and during certain periods at an initial conversion
rate of 59.1935 shares of Class A common stock per US$1,000
principal amount of convertible senior notes (representing an
initial conversion price of approximately US$16.89 per share of
Class A common stock), subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances.  The initial conversion price represents a
conversion premium of 32.5% over the public offering price in the
Class A common stock offering of $12.75 per share.  The
convertible senior notes will provide for "net share settlement"
of any conversions, meaning that upon any conversion Tyson will
pay the noteholder an amount in cash of up to the principal amount
of the convertible senior notes and will settle any excess of the
conversion value above the convertible senior notes' principal
amount in Class A common stock.  Holders of the convertible senior
notes may require Tyson to purchase all or a portion of their
notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
convertible senior notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, in cash, upon the occurrence of certain fundamental
changes involving Tyson.

Tyson intends to use the net proceeds from the Class A common
stock offering and the convertible senior notes offering toward
the repayment of borrowings under Tyson's accounts receivable
securitization and for other general corporate purposes which may
include, without limitation, acquisitions, strategic investments
and initiatives to grow its business.  
A portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the convertible
senior notes will be used to fund the cost of the convertible note
hedge transactions after such cost is offset by the proceeds of
the warrant transactions.

In connection with the convertible senior notes offering, Tyson
has entered into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions
in respect of its Class A common stock with counterparties, which
are affiliates of certain underwriters of the convertible senior
notes.  The convertible note hedge transactions are intended to
reduce the potential dilution upon future conversion of the
convertible senior notes by providing Tyson with the option,
subject to certain exceptions, to acquire shares of Class A common
stock which offset the delivery of newly issued shares of Class A
common stock upon settlement of conversion of the convertible
senior notes.  However, the warrant transactions will result in
dilution to the extent that the market value of Tyson's Class A
common stock, as measured under the terms of the warrants during
the measurement period at maturity of the warrants, exceeds the
exercise price of the warrants, which initially is US$22.31 per
share, subject to customary adjustments.  If the underwriters
exercise their option to purchase additional convertible senior
notes to cover over-allotments, Tyson will increase the size of
the convertible note hedge transactions and sell additional
warrants.

The counterparties to the convertible note hedge and warrant
transactions have advised Tyson that they or their respective
affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions
with respect to Tyson's Class A common stock shortly after the
pricing of the convertible senior notes.  In addition, the
counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify
their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various
derivative transactions with respect to Tyson's Class A common
stock or by selling or purchasing Tyson's Class A common stock in
secondary market transactions following the pricing of the
convertible senior notes and are likely to do so during any
observation period related to the conversion of the notes.  
These transactions could adversely affect the market price of
Tyson's Class A common stock and of the convertible senior notes,
could have the effect of increasing or preventing a decline in the
price of Tyson's Class A common stock and could, under certain
circumstances, affect noteholders' ability to convert the
convertible senior notes.

The Class A common stock offering and the convertible senior notes
offerings are being conducted as separate public offerings and are
not contingent upon each other.  The closing of each offering is
expected to occur on September 15, 2008, subject to satisfaction
of market and other closing conditions.

J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch & Co. are acting as
joint book-running managers for both offerings.

The Class A common stock offering and the convertible senior notes
offering are being made pursuant to two prospectus supplements and
accompanying prospectuses filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission and available for review on the SEC's website
at http://www.sec.gov/

Any offer of the securities will be made only be means of a
prospectus, forming a part of the effective registration
statement, the applicable prospectus supplement and other related
documents.  Copies of these documents can be obtained from:

MAGNESITA REFRATARIOS: LWB Acquisition Cues S&P to Hold BB Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has affirmed its 'BB' long-term
corporate credit rating on the Brazil-based refractory producer
Magnesita Refratarios S.A. following the announcement that the
company reached an agreement with Rhone Capital LLC (not rated) to
acquire its controlling stake in LWB Refractories GmbH (unrated).  
At the same time, S&P also affirmed its 'brAA-' Brazil national
scale rating on the company.  The outlook was changed to
'negative' from 'stable'.
     
"The rating action reflects the Magnesita's announcement that the
company reached an agreement to acquire LWB, one of the main
global producers of refractories.  Although we see significant
improvement in Magnesita's business profile if the deal is
successful -- by enhancing the company's product and geographic
diversification and strengthening its market position in the
refractory business -- we expect the company to also report higher
financial leverage in the medium term.  The acquisition also poses
some challenges for Magnesita to integrate the acquired assets and
improve their operating efficiency, thus boosting its consolidated
results," said S&P's credit analyst Victor Saulytis.
     
The two combined companies are expected to be the third-largest
producer of refractories in the world with complementary product
portfolios and broader geographical reach, thus servicing a more
diversified client base.  Additionally, the two combined companies
are expected to generated synergies initially estimated at EUR25
million (around U$40 million) if integration is successful.
     
As a result of the additional debt, S&P expects the company to
maintain a more leveraged capital structure for a longer period
than originally expected.  Before the announcement, it expected
Magnesita to post a total debt-to-EBITDA ratio lower than 3.0 by
the end of 2008.  Considering the new debt, S&P expects the
leverage ratio to remain in the 3.5 to 4.0 range (3.9 in the 12
months ended June 2008) over the next few years.
     
The ratings on Magnesita reflect:

  -- the exposure of the company's sales to cyclical industries
     (namely steel and cement) and reliance on few customers;

  -- sizable gross debt from the leveraged buyout debt Magnesita
     assumed; and

  -- the challenges for the company's new management to implement
     its strategic plans.

These risks are partly offset by:

  -- Magnesita's leading business and market position in the local
     market of refractory products; its privileged cost position
     and sound operating profile due to vertical integration into
     key raw materials; and

  -- its broad variety of products and value-added services,
     ranging from elementary refractory products to tailor-made
     refractory solutions.

S&P expects Magnesita to post tighter free operating cash flow in
the coming quarters.  In the short term, free operating cash flow
tends to be affected by investments in production capacity in
Brazil.  In the mid to long term, as the integration with LWB
matures and investments in the company's local plants return to
maintenance levels, cash generation is likely to improve.  In this
sense, the company would be able to reduce debt, which could
support better leverage ratios.  S&P assumes that the company will
manage to successfully refinance existing debts at LWB, thus not
exposing Magnesita to refinancing risks in the next two years, as
debt maturities are expected to remain quite low.
     
The negative outlook reflects S&P's expectations that Magnesita
will post a more leveraged capital structure in the short term and
will deal with challenges to successfully conclude the acquisition
of LWB as well as to integrate the operations of the new company.  

At the same time, S&P assumes that Magnesita will not perform new
relevant acquisitions, allowing the company to sustain strong cash
position due to the reduced pressure of debt maturities in the
next couple of years.
     
"The outlook could be revised to stable if Magnesita's leverage
consistently declines in the next few quarters, leading, for
instance, to a total debt-to-EBITDA ratio of less than 3.5 by the
end of 2009 and a further declining trend throughout 2011.  A
positive revision would also depend on the Magnesita's ability to
conclude the acquisition of LWB and integrate its operations with
the new company, which could increase the company's cash flows
consistently and improve its consolidated profitability.  We
expects dividends to be maintained at prudent levels.  On the
other hand, the ratings could be revised negatively if the company
adopts a more aggressive financial strategy, resulting in
increasing bank debt and decreasing cash generation, and thus,
resulting in lower liquidity and weaker credit measures," Mr.
Saulytis added.

Headquartered in Montes Claros, Brazil, Magnesita Refratarios
S.A. is Brazil's largest manufacturer of refractories used for
industrial high-temperature processes such as iron and steel,
cement, glass and others.   The company reported net sales of
BRL1.2 billion and EBITDA of BRL236 million (around US$663
million and  US$131 million, respectively) in the 12 months
ended March 30, 2008.


NRG ENERGY: Moody's Affirms Corporate Family Rating at Ba3
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed all of NRG Energy, Inc.'s
(NRG) ratings, including its Corporate Family Rating at Ba3, the
senior unsecured debt at B1, and the Speculative Grade Liquidity
Rating at SGL-1. The rating outlook remains stable.

The rating affirmation reflects the announcement by NRG to offer
existing bondholders the ability to exchange up to approximately
US$2 billion of new bonds, and to concurrently seek consents from
its existing bondholders with proposed amendments to the
indentures governing the existing US$4.7 billion of senior
unsecured debt.  While the transaction, if completed, will
increase annual interest expense and will weaken covenant
protection for bondholders, the transaction will not result in any
fundamental change in the issuer's credit quality.  To that end,
should bondholder consent to the proposed amendments occur and
should the bonds be offered in the capital markets, Moody's
anticipates assigning a B1 rating to the approximate US$2 billion
of new senior unsecured bonds.

The rating affirmation recognizes NRG's continued generation of
relatively consistent credit metrics through an active hedging
program as evidenced by adjusted cash flow to total adjusted debt
registering 15% - 16% for the past three years and through
June 30, 2008.  Moody's expects these financial metrics to
modestly improve during 2008 due to continued steady operating
cash flow generation and permanent consolidated debt reduction,
including debt retirement of around US$475 million under the
company's senior secured term loan, the bulk of which occurred in
December 2007 and March 2008.

The rating affirmation acknowledges the company's stated desire to
return more capital to shareholders as evidenced by the
announcement of a consent request, which if successful, would
eliminate the restricted payments test in the senior note
indentures.  While the company continues to pursue a capital
allocation strategy that returns to shareholders an average rate
of 3% annually (or approximately US$250 million to US$300 million
each year), we observe that the company has complimented this
capital return program with associated debt retirement. We believe
management will continue to pursue this two-pronged capital
approach.  Assuming that the indentures are amended and the
restricted payments test is eliminated in the indentures,
bondholders will continue to benefit from the existing restricted
payments test in the senior secured bank facility; however, that
restricted payments test offers the company greater flexibility to
make distributions to shareholders and it can be amended or
eliminated in the future without the consent of the bondholders.
While this is a risk for bondholders, we do believe that a senior
secured bank facility will have some form of a restricted payment
test even if the credit environment becomes substantially more
benign than what currently exists today.  More importantly, while
NRG's management is clearly shareholder focused, we believe that
the company will continue to implement its shareholder return
program in a manner that addresses both shareholder and creditor
interests.  We also observe NRG's historical approach to capital
investment programs has involved the utilization of joint venture
arrangements for all of the company's largest generation projects,
and the execution of long-term power purchase arrangements with
load serving entities at other projects in conjunction with re-
powering initiatives.

NRG's speculative grade liquidity rating of SGL-1 reflects our
expectation that the company will maintain a very good liquidity
profile over the next 12-month period as a result of its
generation of strong internal cash flows, maintenance of
significant cash balances plus continued access to substantial
credit availability. Total liquidity at June 30, 2008 approximated
US$2.7 billion, including cash on hand of US$1.3 billion.  In
addition, we anticipate the company will generate incremental free
cash flow during 2008.  Moody's understands that the company
remains very comfortably in compliance with the covenants in its
bank facilities and acknowledges the increase in liquidity that
occurred following the sale of ITISA for approximately
US$288 million during the second quarter 2008.

NRG's stable rating outlook reflects our expectation for continued
generation of relatively predictable cash flow for this wholesale
power company due to the fleet's competitive position and hedging
strategy.  The stable outlook considers continued execution of
management's balanced capital allocation policy and factors in
NRG's measured strategy for capital investment, including the use
of joint ventures and execution of key contractual arrangements to
mitigate risk.

The last rating action for this company was April 28, 2008 when
the negative outlook was stabilized and the speculative grade
liquidity rating was upgraded to SGL-1 from SGL-2.

Headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, NRG Energy, Inc. owns and
operates power generating facilities, primarily in Texas and the
northeast, south central and western regions of the United States.
NRG also has ownership interests in generating facilities in
Australia, Brazil and Germany.

The system is expected to begin working in the second half of
2009.  The startup of operations will depend on approval by the
National Agency of Civil Aviation (Anac) and the National Agency
of Telecommunications (Anatel), as well as the adjustment of
legislation that only authorizes cell phone use when the aircraft
is on the ground and the doors are open.

The announcement of the agreement took place this Wednesday in
Long Beach, California (USA) at the trade fair of the World
Airline Entertainment Association (WAEA), the largest event in the
world devoted to onboard entertainment.  The system was certified
by the European Aviation Safety Agency (Easa), and its use was
recently regulated by the European Union.  The mechanism ensures
complete safety for passengers, since it prevents signals from
devices from causing interference in the aircrafts commands.  In
addition, should the need arise, the system can be shut down at
any time.  The company chose the OnAir system after two years of
assessing connectivity solutions available on the market.

"Offering this advanced technology to our customers confirms our
leadership in the airline market in Brazil, and is one more
example of our constant quest for Service Excellence, one of the
pillars of our company," states TAM president, Captain David
Barioni Neto.  "Our passengers, particularly those traveling in
business class, will be able to stay in contact with their offices
and clients, enhancing efficiency and productivity."

OnAir president, Benoit Debains, underscored TAM's status as a
pioneer in adopting this onboard communications system.  "We are
very pleased by the fact that TAM, one of the leaders in
innovation in passenger service, and the largest airline in South
America, has chosen OnAir to implement this additional benefit for
its passengers," he said.

REVLON INC: Plans to Reduce Debt by US$170 Million
--------------------------------------------------
Revlon, Inc. has planned to reduce its debt by US$170 million by
repaying the US$170 million MacAndrews & Forbes Senior
Subordinated Term Loan, which matures on Aug. 1, 2009.  The debt
reduction would be achieved in two steps.  In the first step,
Revlon will use US$63 million of the net proceeds from the
previously announced July 2008 sale of its Bozzano business in
Brazil to repay US$63 million of the US$170 million M&F Term Loan.  
The remaining approximately US$30 million of net cash proceeds
from the sale of the Bozzano business will be used by the Company
for general corporate purposes.

In the second step Revlon intends to launch, as early as in the
fourth quarter of 2008, a US$107 million equity rights offering
that would allow stockholders to purchase additional shares of
Revlon Class A common stock.  Upon closing the rights offering,
Revlon intends to use the net proceeds of such equity issuance to
fully repay the remaining balance of the M&F Term Loan.

"By repaying the M&F Term Loan, we will eliminate our highest
cost, nearest maturity debt, which carries an annual cash interest
cost of almost US$19 million.  Improving our capital structure
with this important step is consistent with a key aspect of our
strategy," Revlon President and Chief Executive Officer, David
Kennedy said.

                       Reverse Stock Split

Revlon intends to effect its previously announced 1-for-10 reverse
stock split of its Class A and Class B common stock on Sept. 15,
2008, and open for trading on the NYSE on a post-split basis on
Sept. 16, 2008.

* COSTA RICA: Ba1 Rating Reflects Dynamic Economy, Says Moody's
---------------------------------------------------------------
In its annual report on Costa Rica, Moody's Investors Service says
that the country's Ba1 government bond rating reflects a dynamic
and diversified economic base historically resilient to downturns,
solid institutions which provide policy predictability, and a
favorable debt composition.  The majority of Costa Rica's debt is
denominated in local currency, leaving debt dynamics relatively
protected from exchange rate shocks.

"Our decision in August to change Costa Rica's outlook to positive
from stable despite a downturn in most economic indicators
reflects Moody's focus on the fundamentals rather than the
business cycle," said Alessandra Alecci, author of the report.   
"Over the past few years, the combination of a very strong fiscal
performance and high economic growth has led to a considerable
improvement in all debt ratios, leaving Costa Rica better
positioned to face the ongoing adverse shock" said Ms. Alecci.

Even taking into account the likelihood of some fiscal
deterioration over this and next year, she said, it would take a
major deterioration to reverse the virtuous debt dynamics of
recent years in such a way that credit risk would increase
meaningfully.

Further, she explained, Costa Rica's government debt structure
benefits from favorable features, with the majority in local
currency and a large portion held by public entities.  External
public debt is relatively low.  Although the majority is in bonds
placed in the international capital markets, the likelihood of
further market exposure is limited by the fact that issuance needs
the Assembly's approval.

"Nonetheless, financial dollarization will continue to require
careful monitoring, particularly given the very high levels of
inflation, an exchange rate regime that is still largely
inflexible and a widening of the currency account deficit in the
context of a more difficult external environment," said Ms.
Alecci.  "With financial dollarization of around 50%, a major,
albeit unlikely, problem with the exchange rate could lead to
severe dislocations and add pressure to the government's own
balance sheet."

Despite continued double-digit growth in Costa Rica's goods and
services exports in recent years, the current account deficit has
remained sizeable at around 5% of GDP in large part due to strong
domestic demand that has been compounded more recently by pressure
from oil prices.  Last year, it widened to 5.7% of GDP.

"The combination of the ongoing slowdown in goods' exports and a
soaring oil bill is likely to widen the current account deficit to
around 8% of GDP this year and possibly next, a level that is the
highest in many years," said Ms. Alecci.  "While a deficit of this
magnitude clearly represents challenges and risks, barring funding
difficulties and a major deviation from the official forecast, it
is not expected to affect Costa Rica's ratings trajectory because
it is unlikely to provoke significant pressure on the current
exchange-rate regime."

Excluding a major freeze in capital flows and the sudden
suspension of ongoing projects, she said, it is a reasonable
expectation for foreign direct investment (FDI) to continue
financing the majority of the shortfall.  FDI has traditionally
financed at least 60% of the current account deficit in Costa
Rica, but it reached historical highs in the last two years in
excess of 6% of GDP, a level well above that reached during the
construction of its microprocessor plant in 1998.

FDI financed well over 100% of current account deficit in 2006 and
2007.  Although FDI is not likely to increase from these levels,
Alecci said, the pending implementation of DR-CAFTA and the
opening of state monopolies are likely to attract considerable
foreign interest and offset a cyclical decline in other sectors,
particularly in the real estate market.  FDI in Costa Rica has
tended to be quite diversified in recent years, with manufacturing
and tourism providing the majority.  Manufacturing FDI has
traditionally been very stable, an encouraging fact particularly
given the delay in joining DR-CAFTA and the competition from other
countries in the region and from Asia.

"The reversal in the exchange rate (now at the ceiling of the
band) suggests that a withdrawal of capital is occurring," said
Ms. Alecci.  "From Moody's perspective, while this is likely to
lead to a lower balance of payments surplus, it should be viewed
against the back-drop of Costa Rica's very stable FDI and sizeable
foreign exchange reserves accumulation in recent years."

* ECUADOR: Increases Oil Estimate by 19 Million Barrels
-------------------------------------------------------
Ecuador's government has raised its oil output estimate for 2009
to 180 million barrels from a previous projection of 161 million
barrels, Dow Jones Newswires reports, citing Finance Minister
Wilma Salgado.

Last week, Dow Jones relates, Ecuador's Finance Ministry proposed
a 2009 budget of US$15.04 billion, about half of which is destined
for current spending.

According to the report, Ms. Salgado said the financing needs
included in the government's budget draft for 2009 will be covered
with oil revenues, however, the government may seek financing from
countries such as Venezuela or may sell bonds, if needed.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
March 25, 2008, Moody's Investors Service upgraded Ecuador's
foreign currency government bond rating, foreign currency bank
deposit ceiling and foreign currency country bond ceilings to B3
from Caa2.  Moody's said the outlook on all the ratings is stable.

In December 2007, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned a
B- long-term sovereign local and foreign currency ratings and C
short-term sovereign local and foreign currency ratings on
Ecuador.

BANCOPPEL SA: Moody's Lowers Ba2 Currency Deposit Ratings to Ba3
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's downgraded Bancoppel's long-term global local currency
deposit rating to Ba3 from Ba2.  At the same time, the bank's
long-term foreign currency deposit rating was downgraded to Ba3
from Ba2.  On its Mexican National Scale, Moody's downgraded
BanCoppel's long-term rating to A3.mx from A2.mx.

Moody's affirmed BanCoppel's bank financial strength rating (BFSR)
of E+.  At the same time, Moody's affirmed the bank's Mexican
National Scale short term rating of MX-2 as well as the global
local and foreign currency deposit ratings of Not Prime.  All
these ratings have stable outlooks.

The rating actions on BanCoppel take into account Moody's Joint
Default Analysis.  Particularly, BanCoppel's GLC deposit rating of
Ba3 incorporates the bank's full integration and support received
from Coppel S.A. de C.V. -- which ranks among Mexico's largest
retailer store chains catering to low and medium income
demographics with an integrated consumer finance platform.

According to Moody's, BanCoppel's Ba3 GLC deposit rating
incorporates the bank's baseline credit assessment of B2 and the
benefits drawn from being part of Grupo Coppel, which include
capital support, sharing of brand name, client base and
infrastructure, and expertise in loan underwriting and collection
in the consumer finance business.  Moreover, Moody's considers
that BanCoppel complements Coppel's business strategy.  Therefore,
Moody's assesses a very high probability of support for the bank
if need be, which leads to an uplift from BanCoppel's baseline
credit assessment of two notches, to the Ba3 GLC deposit rating.  
However, in light of the ongoing reorganization of Grupo Coppel
(including the incorporation of mortgage non-bank bank Hipotecaria
Credito y Casa -- rated B1 and Baa2.mx), Coppel's ability to
support the bank in case of a stress situation occurs is perceived
as less strong.

Moody's affirmed BanCoppel's BFSR of E+ because the bank still
faces the challenges inherent to its recent inception -- BanCoppel
was established in May 2007.  These challenges include the bank's
still developing banking business and the operating losses common
to a start up, as well as still seasoning credit and risk
management practices.  The bank remains challenged to generate
sustainable high quality earnings, diversify its limited business
scope, and to further establish its market position - particularly
in credit cards, which is BanCoppel's main targeted product.

Other important challenges for the BFSR are BanCoppel's closely-
held, family-based ownership structure because this could lead to
corporate governance risks.  The high competition on the bank's
core product also challenges its developing franchise and thus the
BFSR.

Moody's downgraded these ratings:

   -- Global local currency deposits, long term: Downgrade to Ba3
      from Ba2;

   -- Foreign currency deposits, long term: Downgrade to Ba3 from
      Ba2; and

   -- Mexican National Scale, long term: Downgrade to A3.mx from
      A2.mx

Moody's affirmed these ratings:

   -- Bank financial strength rating of E+: Affirmed;

   -- Global local currency deposits, short term: Not Prime,
      affirmed;

   -- Foreign currency deposits, short term: Not Prime, affirmed;
      and

   -- Mexican National Scale, short term: MX-2, affirmed.

The outlook on all these ratings is stable.

BanCoppel SA -- http://www.coppel.com-- is headquartered in  
Mexico City.  As of November 2007, the bank reported MXN464
million in assets.


BHM TECHNOLOGIES: Wants Former CFO Vanderkooi as Consultant
-----------------------------------------------------------
BHM Technologies Holdings, Inc., and its debtor-subsidiaries,
pursuant to Section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, seek approval
from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District
of Michigan to enter into a consulting agreement with Ray
VanderKooi, the Debtors' former chief financial officer.  

A copy of the Agreement is available for free at:

                http://researcharchives.com/t/s?283

Robert S. Hertzberg, Esq., at Pepper Hamilton LLP, in Detroit,
Michigan, relates that Mr. Vanderkooi joined The Brown
Corporation of America in October 2002 as Corporate Controller
and he was promoted to his current position in July 2004.  Prior
to joining Brown, Mr. VanderKooi served as Senior Manager for
Ernst & Young LLP, in their Tax Services department.  

Mr. VanderKooi has notified the Debtors that he intends to resign
his employment with the Debtors, effective September 1, 2008.  
Mr. Hertzberg states that in recognition of Mr. VanderKooi's
important institutional knowledge of the Debtors and his
involvement in a number of critical events in the Chapter 11
cases, Mr. VanderKooi has agreed to act as a consultant to the
Debtors for a one month period beginning September 1, 2008.

As a consultant to the Debtors, Mr. VanderKooi will:

    * involve the routine maintenance of the Debtors' business
      operations - the transitioning of his institutional
      knowledge to his successor.  

    * not be controlling, managing, administering, investing,
      purchasing or selling assets that are significant to the
      Debtors' reorganization and he will not be involved in
      negotiating the Plan, which has already been filed and has
      been sent to creditors.  

    * not have discretion or autonomy as a consultant to exercise
      his own professional judgment with respect to the
      administration of the Debtors' estates and, although his
      knowledge of the Debtors and their operations is quite
      detailed and very valuable, as a consultant, he will not be
      deeply involved in the administration of the Debtors'
      estates.

Mr. Hertzberg says that Mr. VanderKooi has been an integral part
of the Debtors' management team throughout the bankruptcy
proceedings and has been intimately involved in the financial
aspects of this case and without Mr. VanderKooi's experience and
institutional knowledge, the Debtors' planned restructuring      
would become much more difficult and much less efficient.

The Debtors' entry into the Agreement, Mr. Hertzberg adds, is
warranted because the Agreement will permit Mr. VanderKooi to
transition his knowledge to his successor, protecting the Debtors
and ensuring that the smooth pace of these bankruptcy cases will
not falter.

The Debtors sought and obtained the Court's approval to shorten
the notice period for parties in interest to object to the
Debtors' request until September 12, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. EDT.

The hearing to consider the request will be convened on September
15, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. EDT.

BHM TECHNOLOGIES: Brown Entities Want to Assume Visteon Deal
------------------------------------------------------------
BHM Technologies Holdings, Inc., and its debtor-subsidiaries have
entered into arrangements with customers --  with regards to their
automotive supply contracts -- to supply product for a particular
platform subject to a certain tooled capacity.  These arrangements
typically have a duration equal to the life of the platform, which
is generally three to seven years for automotive vehicles.  

In most cases, the Debtors' contracts with their customers take
the form of purchase orders which include establish pricing,
product specifications and address freight and other similar
issues.

Since the Petition Date, the Debtors' management and advisors
have undertaken a review and analysis of customer contracts and
have engaged in the negotiation of adjustments to the terms of
the contracts.

By this motion and pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy
Code, The Brown Corporation of America, Inc., The Brown Company
of Waverly, LLC, The Brown Company of Ionia, LLC, and The Brown
Corporation of Greenville, Inc., ask authority from the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Michigan to
assume an executory supply agreement with Visteon Corporation, as
amended by a certain adjuster agreement.

Under the Agreement, Brown is to manufacture and sell, and
Visteon is to purchase, certain component parts for incorporation
into automotive assemblies.  The Agreement consists of
prepetition purchase orders, which incorporate Visteon's general
terms and conditions, together with an amendment that amends
certain terms and conditions of the Purchase Orders including
improvements of pricing for Brown.

Deborah Kovsky-Apap, Esq, at Pepper Hamilton LLP, in Detroit,
Michigan, tells the Court that authorizing the assumption of the
Agreement secures a valuable supply relationship with one of
Brown's major customers that are favorable to Brown.  "Equally
important, assumption of the Agreement improves the Debtors'
prospects for a successful emergence from their Chapter 11
cases," Ms. Kovsky-Apap adds.

Ms. Kovsky-Apap avers that the Debtors have successfully
negotiated important amendments to the terms and conditions of
the Purchase Orders.  According to Ms. Ms. Kovsky-Apap, these
amendments make it possible for Brown to continue to do business
with one of its major customers on terms that are economically
viable.  "Thus, assumption of the Agreement is beneficial to the
Debtors' estates."

The Agreement has been provided to the Court under seal.  
Ms. Kovsky-Apap relates that given the importance of the Debtors'
request and the fact that the Agreement contains sensitive and
confidential information, the Debtors sought and obtain
permission from the Court to file under seal the Agreement
pursuant to a protective order appropriate under Rule 9018 of the
Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, and Sections 107(b) and
105 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Agreement, Ms. Kovsky-Apap says, contains detail pricing
information, as well as other confidential aspects of the
contractual customer supply relationship between Brown and
Visteon.  Ms. Kovsky-Apap warns that its exposure to the public
might jeopardize the Debtors' negotiating position and strategy
with respect to other customers and suppliers and will place the
them at a competitive disadvantage.

Further, the Debtors sought and obtain from the Court to shorten
the notice period of the request by setting September 11, 2008,
at 5:00 p.m. EDT, as the objection deadline and September 15,
2008, at 2:00 p.m. EDT, its hearing date.

BHM TECHNOLOGIES: Court Extends Time to Assume or Reject Leases
---------------------------------------------------------------
The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of
Michigan, pursuant to Section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code,
approved the request of BHM Technologies Holdings, Inc., and its
debtor-subsidiaries to have their deadline to assume or reject
unexpired leases of non-residential property extended through and
including December 15, 2008.

Robert S. Hertzberg, Esq., at Pepper Hamilton LLP, in Detroit
Michigan, states that since the Petition Date, the Debtors have
filed a Plan of Reorganization, which contemplates a 100% payment
to the Debtors' unsecured ongoing trade creditors.  The Debtors
have analyzed their Leases and described their treatment in the
Plan.  Creditors entitled to vote on the Plan have until Sept. 19,
2008 to cast their ballots.  

The Debtors have remained committed to their goal of
restructuring their balance sheets in a speedy and efficient
manner with no disruption to ongoing trade creditors.

Mr. Hertzberg says that although the Plan sets forth the
treatment of the Debtors' Leases, the Confirmation Hearing is not
scheduled to take place until after the expiration of the Lease
Decision Period, and the effective date of the Plan will not take
place until a date even after such Deadline.  

The Debtors assert that the 90-day extension will give them
sufficient time to implement the Plan after the Confirmation
Hearing or further analyze their Leases in the event that the
Plan is not confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

Mr. Hertzberg avers that the extension will give the Debtors  
sufficient time to implement the Plan and further analyze their
Leases in the event that the Plan is not confirmed by the Court.

BHM TECHNOLOGIES: Eclipse Wants Debtors' Objections Denied
----------------------------------------------------------
Eclipse Tool and Die, Inc., asks the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Western District of Michigan to deny the objection
of BHM Technologies Holdings, Inc., and its debtor-subsidiaries on
these grounds:

   (a) Brown has mistakenly and inaccurately defined itself as
       the "Customer" under the Michigan Special Tool Lien Act,
       "MSTLA", MCL 570.541 et. seq. - Brown is not the Customer
       but the End User;

   (b) Brown's claim that the MSTLA does not allow for
       repossession of tooling from a non-debtor corporation in
       Mexico is inaccurate;  

   (c) The Court has the authority, power and jurisdiction,
       pursuant to the MSTLA to enforce Special Tool Builder Lien
       regardless of the location of the property; and

   (d) Brown's attempts to argue that Eclipse was well aware
       "that its right to payment would depend upon Intier
       [Automotive Interiors] paying Brown", there is not one
       correspondence and  documentary evidence submitted by
       Brown that would indicate that Eclipse was actually aware
       at the time it agreed to design, fabricate and manufacture
       the Special Tooling that it would not be paid until Brown
       was paid by Intier.

David S. Lefere, Esq., at Bolhouse, Vander Hulst, Risko & Baar,
P.C., in Grandville, Michigan, says that Brown has mistakenly and
inaccurately defined itself as the "Customer" under the MSTLA.   
The MSTLA defines a Customer, End User and Special Tool Builder
as:

   (1) End User: a person who uses a special tool as part of his
       or her manufacturing process. MCL 570.542(b).

   (2) Special Tool Builder: a person who designs, develops,
       manufactures, or assembles special tools for sale. MCL
       570.542(d).

   (3) Customer: a person who causes a special tool builder to
       design, develop, manufacture, assemble for sale, or
       otherwise make a special tool for use in the design,
       development, manufacture, assembly, or fabrication of
       metal parts, or a person who causes an end user to use a
       special tool to design, develop, manufacture, assemble or
       fabricate a metal product. MCL 570.542(a).

Mr. Lefere avers that the Court has the authority, power and
jurisdiction, pursuant to the MSTLA to enforce Special Tool
Builder Lien regardless of the location of the property.  
                                                      
Mr. Lefere says Eclipse did not expect to wait over two years
after the start of the design, fabrication and manufacture of the
tooling, and over year and a half after the delivery of the
tooling to be paid by Brown.  Eclipse is attempting to protect
its interest in the Special Tooling, its lien rights under the
MSTLA, and ultimately to secure payment.  

Eclipse asks the Court to grant it relief from the automatic stay
to allow it to seek possession of the Special Tooling or obtain
payment as a secured creditor for US$699,635 or receive adequate
protection as a secured lienholder pursuant to the MSTLA.

              Parties Agree to Adjourn Hearing Date

The Debtors and Eclipse sought and obtained the Court's approval
to adjourn the hearing on Eclipse's motion to lift the automatic
stay and request for adequate protection.  

The Court will convene a hearing on September 15, 2008 at 2:00
p.m., to resolve the said matters.

INDUSTRIAS UNIDAS: S&P Chips Foreign Currency Credit Rating to B-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has lowered its ratings on
Industrias Unidas S.A. de C.V., including lowering the long-term
foreign currency corporate credit rating to 'B-' from 'B' and the
national scale rating to 'mxBB' from 'mxBBB-'.  The outlook is
negative.
     
"The downgrade reflects renewed weakness in IUSA's financial
performance during second-quarter of 2008 and our expectations of
continued weakness in the second half of the year," said S&P's
credit analyst Marcela Duenas. " It also reflects our continued
concerns about the company's liquidity."
     
The ratings on Industrias Unidas reflect the inherent cyclicality
of the construction industry, commodity price volatility,
competitive pressure on core products and markets, low operating
margins, and high leverage relative to operating cash flow
generation.  These factors are partially offset by the company's
leading market positions in Mexico and the United States, its
diversified product mix, and some geographic diversification in
the manufacturing and distribution of copper tubing, copper alloy
products, valves, controls, watt-hour meters, wire and cable, and
electrical devices.
     
The ratings also incorporate S&P's expectation that the company
will continue to follow a disciplined commercial strategy and
increase its offering of value-added products.

Headquartered in Lomas Altas, Mexico, Industrias Unidas SA de CV
-- http://www.iusa.com/-- manufactures a wide range of copper-
based and electrical products for the housing and electrical
power sectors mainly in Mexico and the U.S.  The company's
operations focus on seven principal business groups: copper
tubing, wire and cable, copper alloys, electrical products,
watt-hour meters, valves and controls, and diversified assets.
Industrias Unidas processes over 220,000 of metric tons of copper
per year.

MYLAN INC: S&P Rates US$400MM Senior Unsec. Notes 'B+'
------------------------------------------------------
Standard &Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B+' senior
unsecured debt rating to generic drug maker Mylan Inc.'s US$400
million senior unsecured convertible notes due 2015 (one notch
lower than the corporate credit rating on the company).  The
issue was assigned a '5' recovery rating indicating the
expectation for modest (10%-30%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.

At the same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed all of its other
ratings on Mylan. The outlook remains stable.

"The ratings on Canonsburg, Pa.-based Mylan Inc. reflect the
company's highly leveraged financial risk profile and management's
challenges in integrating and running a much larger,
internationally diverse company after its acquisition of Merck
KGaA's generics business," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Arthur Wong.  "These factors are offset partly by Mylan's size
in the generics market, the positive fundamentals of the generic
drug industry, and Standard & Poor's belief that debt will
steadily decline, given management's history of financial
conservatism."

Mylan is the third-largest generic drug company in the world in
sales, following the approximately US$6.9 billion acquisition of
the generics business of Merck KGaA in October 2007.  The
acquisition gave Mylan much-needed size and scale, to better
leverage its manufacturing infrastructure and lower manufacturing
costs, which is critical in the highly competitive generic drug
industry.  It also deepened Mylan's product pipeline and expanded
its product offering to more than 570 products and dosages in a
wide range of therapeutic areas, making the company a more
attractive supplier to the large U.S.-based drug wholesalers and
pharmacy chains, which want to deal with fewer suppliers.  The
acquisition also gave Mylan an entry into the large European and
Asian generic drug markets, where generic drug use is much lower
but is expected to grow faster over the longer term.  The generic
share of prescriptions is in the middle- to low-teens area in
several major European markets, compared with more than 60% in the
U.S.

Mylan is well positioned to benefit from the growing generic drug
market, which we expect will continue to grow over the longer
term, given the increasing focus on health care cost control, the
implementation of Medicare Part D, and the still-large number of
branded products losing patent protection between 2010 and 2012.
Mylan has one of the larger product pipelines in the industry and
the company is increasingly focusing on harder-to-manufacture
generic drugs, such as oral dose-controlled release and
transdermal patch technologies that offer some barriers to entry.

Mylan recently entered into an agreement with Famy Care to
potentially launch 22 generic oral contraceptives, a relatively
high margin segment of the generic drug industry.  Mylan also
recently announced that it is keeping its specialty pharmaceutical
business, Dey, acquired as part of the Merck KGaA generics
transaction.  While the division has the potential to generate
high margins, the restructuring of the underperforming business is
still ongoing.

Integration risk remains a concern, as the acquisition of Merck
KGaA's generic business more than doubled Mylan's size and
represents the company's first significant foray into the overseas
generic drug market.  Mylan now has operations in more than 90
countries. Our concerns partly are mitigated by Mylan's past solid
operational performance, successful recent integration of
India-based generic drug maker Matrix Laboratories, and the
retention of key managers from Merck KGaA's generic drug business.

However, debt leverage, at an estimated 6x, is high, and cash flow
measures, with funds from operations (FFO) to debt in the low
teens, are relatively weak for the ratings. Operating margins at
20% are also low for a leading generic drug company, which
typically has margins in the 30% area.

Merck KGaA's generic business generated a lower margin than
Mylan's because of its heavy exposure to the lower-margin European
generics market.  "We expect margins will increase steadily over
time, as synergies are realized and Mylan increasingly leverages
its vertically integrated manufacturing infrastructure
over a much larger sales base," S&P said.

Mylan's liquidity is adequate. As of June 30, 2008, the company
had nearly US$480 million of cash and investments, and US$450
million available under its US$750 million revolving credit
facility maturing in 2013.  Proceeds from the proposed convertible
offering will be used to refinance existing senior secured debt,
including outstanding amounts under its revolving credit facility.

The outlook is stable.  Mylan's credit metrics are somewhat weak
for the ratings, but the ratings are supported by management's
solid operating track record, Mylan's satisfactory position in the
growing worldwide generic drug industry, and our belief that Mylan
will aggressively repay debt with its solid free cash flow.  "We
would begin to consider a positive outlook and a higher rating
when debt consistently remains at less than 4.2x and the company
has effectively integrated its acquired operations," S&P said.
"However, we would consider a negative outlook andr a lower rating
if the company experiences unforeseen operational setbacks and
debt climbs to significantly more than 6x," S&P noted.

NUTRITIONAL SOURCING: Court Okays Disclosure Statement
------------------------------------------------------
According to Bankruptcy Law360, the Hon. Peter J. Walsh of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware approved
Nutritional Sourcing Corp.'s disclosure statement, paving the way
for creditors and the Court to weigh the company's joint
liquidation plan.

Judge Walsh set an Oct. 14 hearing to consider confirmation of the
liquidation plan, Bankruptcy Law360 states.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on August 12, 2008,
the joint liquidation plan proposed by Nutritional Sourcing and
its debtor-affiliates together with the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors, provides separate treatments for Nutritional
Sourcing, Pueblo International LLC, and FLBN LLC because their
estate are not being substantively consolidate.

other things:

    i) of several of the largest claims against the Debtors'
       estates -- including a US$1,125,000 claim of Pension
       Benefit Guaranty Corporation, holders of senior secured
       notes and the Debtors' two executive officers, and

   ii) resolution of certain issues that have been disputed
       throughout the case, the amount of the FLBN intercompany
       claims that should be classified as a Pueblo trade claim
       and the bonus to be paid to Debtors' two executive
       officers.

In 2006, the Debtors conducted an auction for the sale of
substantially all of their grocery stores and their distribution
center.  During the action, PS Acquisition Inc. made a
US$139,000,000 offer for the Debtors' assets topping Pueblo and
Supermercados Econo Inc.'s US$89,750,000 bid.  The Court approved
the sale on Sept. 25, 2007.  The sale closed on
Oct. 31, 2008.

The sale generated about US$32,181,628 in proceeds.  The proceeds
were net of, among other things:

    -- repayment of all obligations owed to the lender of
       US$101,200,000;

    -- break-up fee and expense reimbursement for Pueblo and
       Supermercados of US$4,200,000;

    -- paid and escrowed cure amounts for assumed contracts and
       leases;

    -- other fees and expenses, and

    -- the addition to the purchase price for inventory of
       US$4,876,643.

PETROLEOS DE VENEZUELA: Two Oil Ships Collide in Miranda
--------------------------------------------------------
Two ships belonging to Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. collided on
Tuesday, but it was not immediately clear if they were carrying
cargo, Reuters reports, citing local media.

According to Reuters, El Universal said the accident occurred near
a port in the central state of Miranda between the Negra Matea
liquefied gas transporter and the Paramacay, which frequently
carries crude derivatives.

Officials at the state oil company did not immediately comment on
the report, Reuters says.

Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. -- http://www.pdvsa.com/-- is
Venezuela's state oil company in charge of the development of
the petroleum, petrochemical and coal industry, as well as
planning, coordinating, supervising and controlling the
operational activities of its divisions, both in Venezuela and
abroad.  The company has a commercial office in China.

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
April 28, 2008, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its
'BB-' long-term corporate credit rating on Petroleos de
Venezuela S.A.  S&P said the outlook is stable.

In March 2007, Fitch Ratings gave a BB- rating to PdVSA's
Senior Unsecured debt.

On Feb. 7, 2007, Moody's Investors Service affirmed the
company's B1 global local currency rating.



                            ***********

Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-LA 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-LA constitutes an offer
or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind.  It is
likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds
some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities
about which we report.

Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies
with insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on
the latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication.  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-LA. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com
