subordinate lien revenue bonds.  The series 2007 bonds will price
via negotiated sale led by UBS Investment Bank the week of
July 24, 2007.  The series 2007 bonds are also expected to be
supported by a monoline insurance provider whose financial
strength is rated 'AAA' by Fitch.  The series 2007 bonds, as well
as outstanding bonds, are secured by a subordinate lien on the net
revenues generated from the operations of the airport system. With
the exception of $95 million of commercial paper, the airport does
not have any senior lien revenue bonds outstanding.

At this time Fitch also takes the following actions:

  -- Affirms the 'A' rating on $130 million outstanding city of
     Houston, TX airport system special facilities taxable revenue
     bonds, series 2001 (the Consolidated Rental Car Project
     bonds);

  -- Upgrades to 'B-' from 'CCC+' $324 million city of Houston,
     Texas airport system special facilities revenue bonds series
     2001 (the Continental Terminal E Project bonds).

The Rating Outlook on all bonds is Stable.

The upgrade on the Continental Terminal E Project bonds reflects
the underlying financial strength of Continental Airlines, Inc.,
and brings the special facilities rating in-line with
Continental's Issuer Default Rating of 'B-'.  The Continental
Terminal E Project bonds financed construction and development of
Terminal E at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, which
Continental uses as an international connection hub and Latin
American gateway.  Special facilities rent paid by Continental
secures the Continental Terminal E Project bonds and bondholders
have no access to liquidity or structural enhancements to avoid
default if Continental fails to provide timely debt service
payments.  Terminal E was substantially complete in January 2004
and is currently operating at full utilization.

The series 2001 Consolidated Rental Car Project bonds financed a
250-acre consolidated rental car facility at Intercontinental and
are supported by customer facility charges imposed on automobile
renters at the airport.  The CFC can be adjusted annually and is
currently set to $3 per rental car contract day.  Rental car
demand is closely correlated to origination and destination
enplanements at Intercontinental, which increased at a 6% rate
from 2002 to 2006, while transaction days grew at a 5.4% average
annual rate for the same period.  The increase in demand allowed
for a reduction in the CFC to $3 from $3.25 as of July 1, 2006.
Debt service coverage equaled 1.43 times in 2006.

The 'A+' subordinate lien revenue bond rating reflects the broad
economic base of the primary service area, as well as the system's
sound financial operations, strong historical demand for air
carrier service, and modest future debt needs.  Credit concerns
include the dominant positions held by Continental at
Intercontinental and Southwest Airlines at William P. Hobby
Airport.  Fitch rates Southwest's senior unsecured debt rated 'A'
with a Negative Rating Outlook.

Intercontinental serves as the primary commercial airport for the
metropolitan area and Houston-based Continental operates its
largest hub at the airport, accounting for 87% of enplaned
passengers in fiscal 2006.  Reflecting the strength of the economy
and Continental's increased operations at the airport,
enplanements at Intercontinental increased at a 4.2% average
annual rate from fiscal 1997 through fiscal 2006.  Enplanements to
date at Intercontinental for the first nine months of fiscal 2007
show a 5% increase over the same period the prior year.

Hobby serves as the market's secondary commercial airport and
features mostly low-cost carriers providing point-to-point
domestic service.  Southwest, which considers Houston as one of
its 'focus cities,' accounted for 88% of fiscal 2006 enplanements.
The enplanement base at Hobby has remained flat since fiscal 1997,
primarily reflecting the maturity of the Southwest's service at
the airport.

The airport system's use and lease agreements utilize strong
compensatory methodology for setting fees and charges in the
terminals and a residual methodology for the airfield facilities
which have historically resulted in sound financial operations.
The compensatory terminal agreements allow the airport to control
most concession revenues, allowing the system to build a
substantial liquidity balance of $398 million as of fiscal 2006.
This equaled 718 days cash on hand and 19% of outstanding long
term debt, well above the medians for comparable large-hub
airports.

System operating margins have averaged near 37% in the past
several years but fiscal 2006 saw a strong 49% operating margin.
Debt service coverage for that year equaled 2.19 times, in line
with coverage levels for prior years.  The series 2007 bonds
refund $95 million of outstanding commercial paper to the
subordinate lien and near-term debt service will increase from
$141 million in fiscal 2006 to $161 million through fiscal 2024.
Fiscal 2006 net system revenues of $206 million would cover
maximum annual debt service of $161 million by approximately
1.28x.

The cost per enplanement at both airports has increased
significantly in the past five years as management has implemented
its ongoing capital improvement program.  The budgeted fiscal 2007
CPE equaled $8.26 at Hobby and $11.34 at Intercontinental, higher
than the average for comparable facilities.  Fitch notes, however,
that the CPE's at both airports remain in line with or below
levels forecasted in 2002. Of the approximate $3.2 billion capital
improvement program initiated system-wide in 1998, roughly
$91 million in project spending remains.  Management is set to
embark on a new five year, $1.9 billion capital improvement
program (2008-2013) and expects to issue an additional
$675 million in revenue bonds during that period.


COFFEYVILLE RESOURCES: Moody's Cuts Corporate Family Rating to B3
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Coffeyville Resources LLC's
corporate family rating from B2 to B3 and downgraded its senior
first secured debt ratings from B2 (LGD 3; 32%) to B3 (LGD 3;
31%).

Facility ratings downgraded include CRL's now B3 rated
$775 million senior first-lien secured term loan and its now B3
rated $150 million senior first lien secured revolving credit
facility.  Under Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology, CRL's
Probability of Default Rating declined from B3 to Caa1.  The
ratings had already been under review for downgrade.

The ratings remain under review for downgrade pending

   i. CRL's full assessment and clear resolution of its liquidity
      requirements for operational, hedge, and escalated refinery
      capital spending needs,

  ii. completion of post-flood refinery and fertilizer repairs,

iii. successful start-up and performance to design specifications
      of CRL's Coffeyville refinery,

  iv. the longer-term assessment of CRL's liabilities due to
      environmental damage claims and litigation, and

   v. our assessment of expected leverage and cash flow coverage.

The assigned ratings also match the B3 corporate family rating
indicated by Moody's independent refining rating methodology prior
to the emergency shut down of the Coffeyville refinery.  CRL's
facilities were flooded by a record surge of the Verdigris River.
According to the company, major process units and equipment were
not directly impacted by the flood but the damage to hundreds of
individually minor, but operationally vital, motors and pumps was
very extensive.

The incident has again further delayed CRL's initial public
offering, removing its sole near-term source of funds for de-
leveraging.  From an operational perspective, an emergency
refinery shutdown also always carries the risk of increased
technical difficulties upon restart and before full production to
design specifications is attained.

Moody's downgrades are taken as a precautionary move during the
extended time frame in which CRL, its private owners, suppliers,
insurance providers, hedge counter-party, governmental and
regulatory bodies, and potential plaintiffs identify and remedy
the full financial, operational, environmental, and other
litigation impacts of the recent flood that caused the shut down
of CRL's lone refinery.  In that event, over 70,000 gallons of
CRL's hydrocarbon inventories, as well as oil from its wastewater
treatment facilities, spilled into its local community and
regional river system.

CRL's major source of cash flow has ceased pending the restart of
its refinery.  However, Moody's does anticipate that CRL will
receive substantial near-term financial support from its equity
sponsors, eventually up to as much as $150 million of payments
from its business interruption insurance coverage, and a modest
amount of cash flow from its adjacent fertilizer plant.  However,
while business interruption coverage is scheduled to commence on
Aug. 15, 2007, insurer's assessment process poses the inherent
risks of altered timing and amount of such payments.

Most importantly for the short term is CRL's sponsors' likely
support of its very sizable and imminent crack spread hedge
payments to counter-party J. Aron, a sister affiliate of GSCP,
which are due quarterly.

The new ratings would be vulnerable if some combination of CRL's
sponsor support, business interruption insurance, remediation
costs, start-up date, start-up complications, crude oil supplier
arrangements, sector market conditions, financial obligations, or
environmental and litigation liabilities exceed CRL's direct
financial resources or its equity sponsors' willingness to
supplement CRL's liquidity.  CRL also faces the inherent risk of
cost overruns on its major repairs and equipment replacement in a
tight market for components and engineering and construction
services.

CRL was originally placed on review for downgrade in
December 2006 due to its substantial rise in leverage arising from
its large cash dividend to its private owners in the face of
substantial expansion capital spending, the extended period of
time that Moody's believed would pass before the SEC review
process would be completed and its initial public offering could
be launched, and abundant operational, sector, and market risks
that could complicate CRL's de-leveraging IPO.

The firm's scheduled first quarter 2007 turnaround took longer to
bring back to full production than CRL expected, reflecting the
inherent risks of a delayed start-up.  As well, unscheduled
downtime is a routine event risk in the sector and is a singular
credit risk for refiners having only one refinery.  Though sector
conditions have been strong, and CRL delivered sound first half
2007 performance, all such risks have come to pass at a time when
CRL carries outlier very high leverage and its refinery is shut
down after a major flood at its lone refining site.

Once CRL recommences operations, higher ratings may be supported
by expected moderating but still historically sound 2007 refining
margins; CRL's established sound crude oil sourcing tactics and
logistics and diversified crude oil sources; CRL's strong regional
refined product distribution logistics and proximity to end-user
markets; and, as long as CRL is up and running, the generally
protective aspects of CRL's crack spread hedge on 60% to 70% of
its current production.

However, as currently seen, such hedges are a major liability when
a refinery is not operating and generating no cash flow to meet
its hedge obligations.  The ratings would also benefit from a
degree of diversification provided by CRL's fertilizer business;
sound fertilizer prices.  Regarding CRL's business interruption
insurance, it cannot be known in advance how closely business
interruption payments would match the timing of contractual
obligations.

The ratings are restrained by CRL's very high leverage relative to
its peers; volatile markets; CRL's status as a single refinery
with redundancy limited to certain processing units, costs,
operating risks, and liquidity risks associated with its current
downtime, flood damage, and third party liabilities, and
uncertainty at this point concerning its bank facilities.  CRL
does not have material redundancy in the important value adding
units downstream from those units.  Until CRL's recent projects
are fully on line, it also produces a very low level of high
margin premium gasoline and it carries the higher unit costs of
comparatively low energy and heat efficiency.

CRL carries high leverage measured by Debt/Complexity barrel,
currently in the range of a very high $900/bbl.  Complexity
barrels equal a refinery's effective crude oil distillation
capacity divided by its Nelson Complexity Index.  The nelson index
is a rough proxy for a refinery's relative capacity to add value
to a crude oil barrel above its cost.  High complexity refineries
tend to be able to run cheaper crude oils and convert them into
higher proportions of valuable transportation fuels and light
refined products.

CRL carries a hefty insurance policy which, under a $1.25 billion
overall coverage for natural disasters, also insures it against
flood induced damage and business interruption for up to
$300 million, with an initial 45 day deductible.  CRL faces very
large cash requirements to cover its payments to its hedge
counterparty, J. Aron.  CRL is currently negotiating with GSCP,
Kelso, and J. Aron to cover its payments until business
interruption insurance or operating cash flow enables it to make
those payments. Moody's expects a positive outcome on those
negotiations, with GSCP and Kelso effectively covering the hedge
obligations on behalf of CRL.

CRL owns and operates a 105,000 barrel per day crude oil refinery
and fertilizer plant located in Coffeyville, Kansas.  It has
largely completed a series of projects

   i. enabling it to meet ultra low sulfur transportation fuels
      specifications, now in operation,

  ii. to add a new continuous catalytic reformer, and

iii. to revamp its existing catalytic cracking, delayed coking,
      and crude oil distillation units.

CRL believes its 2006 and 2007 projects will take its crude oil
throughput capacity to 120,000 barrels per stream day, increase
its liquids recovery per barrel, increase its yield of high value
transportation fuels per barrel, and somewhat improve its unit
operating cost efficiency.

In the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, CRL reported about
$250 million of adjusted EBITDA and pro-forma EBIT/total
throughput barrels in the range of its B-rated peers.  This
predominantly reflected historic sector crack spreads and crude
oil quality price differentials and secondarily CRL's more
opportunistic crude oil sourcing, important ongoing operating
improvements, and increased direct sales of refined product.  In
Moody's view, given the macro and sector operational forces at
work, the sector has already seen its cyclical peaks and refining
margins will moderate during 2007.

CROWN MEDIA: March 31 Balance Sheet Upside-down by $519.1 Mil.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Crown Media Holdings Inc.'s balance sheet at March 31, 2007,
showed $758.7 million in total assets and $1.28 billion in total
liabilities, resulting in a $519.1 million total stockholders'
deficit.

Crown Media reported a net loss of $40.2 million for the first
quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared with a net loss of
$47.2 million for the same period ended March 31, 2006.

Crown Media reported revenue of $53.6 million for the first
quarter of 2007, a 19% increase from $45.0 million for the first
quarter of 2006.

"We have had a tremendous start to 2007, with our continued
ratings success as a top rated cable network, unprecedented
increases in advertising revenues and explosive growth in
subscribers" marked Henry Schleiff, president and chief executive
officer of Crown Media.  "Combine this with the renewal of three
major distribution agreements with important partners on
attractive terms, and the result is a cable network that is
extremely well-positioned to benefit from the value that is being
created."

"As we look ahead, we are confident that the exciting line-up of
our brand defining quality and wholesome, family friendly
programming will continue to resonate with advertisers as we enter
the upfront negotiations and, in addition, will appeal to our
expanding audience of viewers during the summer and into our
popular winter holiday season.  We expect that the momentum of the
first quarter will carry us through 2007 to produce a year filled
with solid operating achievements."

Subscriber fee revenue in the first quarter increased 20% to
$7.5 million, from $6.2 million in the prior year's quarter, as a
result of the ending of free carriage periods during 2006 for
certain of the company's domestic distributors and an increase in
subscriber fees.  Advertising revenue increased 20% to $46 million
during the quarter, from $38.4 million in the first quarter of
2006, reflecting higher advertising rates.  The company did not
have licensing fees from its film library during the quarter ended
March 31, 2007, as it sold its film assets in December 2006.
Licensing fees for the company's film library were $270,000 during
the prior year's quarter.

For the first quarter of 2007, cost of services decreased to
$50.8 million from $54.4 million during the same quarter of 2006.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to
$14.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, from
$9 million in the year earlier period primarily due to a
$3.3 million increase and a $236,000 increase in compensation
expense related to the obligations of restricted stock units and
stock appreciation rights, a $702,000 increase in other benefits
expense, and a $1.2 million increase in commissions expense.  This
was offset in part by a decrease in depreciation and amortization
expense of $382,000 as assets became fully depreciated.  Marketing
expenses decreased to $4.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2007, from $4.3 million in the year earlier period.

Adjusted EBITDA loss totaled $5.1 million for the first quarter of
2007, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $5.5 million for the
same period last year.  Cash used in continuing operating
activities totaled $12.8 million for the first quarter of 2007
compared to $20.4 million for the same period last year.

CV THERAPEUTICS: March 31 Balance Sheet Upside-down by $90.3 Mil.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CV Therapeutics Inc.'s balance sheet at March 31, 2007, showed
$355.7 million in total assets and $445.9 million in total
liabilities, resulting in a $90.3 million total stockholders'
deficit.

The company reported a net loss of $55.1 million for the first
quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared with a net loss of
$70.5 million for the same period in 2006.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the company recorded total
revenues of $15.3 million which consisted of $12.0 million of net
product sales of Ranexa and $3.3 million of collaborative research
revenue.  This represents a 200 percent increase over total
revenues of $5.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006,
which consisted of $4.4 million in collaborative research revenue
and $700,000 in co-promotion revenue related to ACEON(R)
(perdindopril erbumine) Tablets, which the company ceased co-
promoting in the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2006.  Collaborative
research revenue is primarily payments for certain regadenoson
development activities from a collaborative partner and
amortization of up-front payments earned.

At March 31, 2007, the company had cash, cash equivalents,
marketable securities and restricted cash of approximately
$267.1 million, compared to $336.7 million at Dec. 31, 2006.

Total costs and expenses were $71.2 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2007.  This compares to total costs and expenses of
$76.2 million for the same quarter in 2006.

The reduction in total costs and expenses for the quarter compared
to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to lower
marketing expenses because the company no longer co-promotes
ACEON(R), lower research and development expenses resulting from
lower clinical trial expenses related to the completion of the
MERLIN TIMI-36 study of Ranexa and a reduction in research and
development activities related to regadenoson, offset in part by
higher personnel related expenses for development and for sales
and marketing.

Dayton Superior Corporation's balance sheet at March 31, 2007,

liabilities, resulting in a $105.5 million total stockholders'
deficit.

Dayton Superior reported a net loss of $8.2 million for the first
quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to a net loss of $9.1
million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Net sales were $99 million, down slightly from $101.3 million in
2006 as harsh weather curtailed first quarter construction
activity in many markets.

Gross profit increased by $2.9 million to $29.4 million or 11%,
as costs were reduced and pricing improved.

Eric R. Zimmerman, Dayton Superior's president and chief executive
officer, said, "We are devoting a great deal of attention to
improving gross margins and customer service, and the results are
evident in our improved first quarter financial results.  The
latest F.W. Dodge reports confirm our own indications that
conditions are improving following severe weather that restricted
construction activity in many regions this winter, following a
mild winter in 2006.  Additional confirmation of our market
strength is seen in construction employment, as, apart from
homebuilding, it is expanding nicely.  We are well prepared to
benefit both from seasonal trends and the upturn in demand from
new infrastructure and commercial construction projects.  We will
continue to improve our customer service and our cost structure,
with a goal of improving our earnings while building on our
leading position in the non-residential markets.  We are
encouraged by our first quarter results and excited about the
potential 2007 holds."

Sales of Dayton Superior's products were $80.2 million, a decrease
of 4% from the first quarter of 2006.  Unit volume was lower due
to the weather, but partially offset by higher sales prices.

Revenues from rentals of concrete forming and shoring equipment
were $14.6 million, up 10%, the result of an improving rental
market and better positioning of the fleet.  Sales of used rental
equipment were down slightly.

Gross profit on product sales was $19.7 million, or 25% of sales,
compared with $17.7 million and 21% in the first quarter of 2006.
Higher sales prices and improvements in operating costs, including
freight expense, were principal factors.  Gross profit on rental
revenue was $6.5 million, compared with $5.3 million in the first
quarter of 2006.

Depreciation on rental equipment was $4 million in both periods.
Rental gross profit before depreciation was $10 million in the
quarter, or 72% of revenue.  This is an 11% increase from
$9 million, or 71% of revenue in the first quarter of 2006,
resulting from increased rental revenue and higher utilization
compared to 2006.  As a percentage of sales, gross profit on the
sales of used rental equipment for the first quarter of 2007 was
slightly better than in the first quarter of 2006.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to
$25.2 million in the recent quarter from $23.6 million for the
first quarter of 2006.  The increase was due to increased sales
and engineering headcount, salary increases, and distribution
center lease costs.

Stock compensation expense, a non-cash expense, was $659,000 in
the first quarter of 2007 and is related to the continued vesting
of restricted common stock in connection with the initial public
offering in December 2006.  Proceeds from the IPO were used in
part to pay down the revolving credit facility, which led to a
$971,000 reduction in interest expense from last year's first
quarter, to $11.2 million.

DELUXE CORP: March 31 Balance Sheet Upside-down by $40.2 Million
----------------------------------------------------------------
Deluxe Corporation's balance sheet at March 31, 2007, showed
$1.22 billion in total assets and $1.26 billion in total
liabilities, resulting in a $40.2 million total stockholders'
deficit.

The company's balance sheet at March 31, 2007, also showed
strained liquidity with $182.6 million in total current assets
available to pay $584.8 million in total current liabilities.

Deluxe Corporation reported net income of $35.2 million for the
first quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared with net income of
$24.7 million for the first quarter of 2006.  The quarter's
results reflect stronger than expected revenue in the personal
check businesses, lower costs and favorable shifts in the timing
of investments in key initiatives.

Net income increased $10.5 million due to higher operating income
and lower interest expense related to the company's lower debt
level.

Revenue for the quarter was $403.8 million compared to
$411.4 million during the first quarter of 2006.  Revenue in Small
Business Services decreased $4.3 million due to the sale of the
industrial packaging product line.  Financial Services revenue
decreased $3.5 million due to lower revenue per order while Direct
Checks revenue increased $200,000.

"We had a strong first quarter and are pleased with our financial
performance and continued progress as we remain on track with our
transformation," said Lee Schram, chief executive officer of
Deluxe.  "All three of our businesses delivered solid results in
the quarter as our momentum exiting 2006 continues.  Our revenue
for the quarter was strong, especially in the personal check
businesses where Financial Services reported only a low single-
digit decline and Direct Checks grew for the first time since the
third quarter of 2002.  On the cost side, we continue to make
steady progress with our initiatives and are solidly on track to
meet our cost reduction target for the year."

Gross margin improved to 63.0% of revenue compared to 62.1% in
2006.  The benefit of strong check volumes, favorable reductions
in manufacturing costs and 2006 facility closing costs were partly
offset by lower revenue per order for Financial Services.

Selling, general, and administrative expense decreased
$18.8 million in the quarter.  The decrease resulted from cost
saving initiatives, primarily in sales and marketing and
information technology, and from lower amortization.  As a percent
of revenue, SG&A decreased to 46.9 percent from 50.6 percent in
2006.

Operating income was $69.0 million, compared to $52.3 million in
the first quarter of 2006.  Operating margin was 17.1 percent of
revenue compared to 12.7 percent in the prior year driven by
improved gross margin and lower SG&A expenses.

Cash provided by operating activities for the quarter totaled
$69.0 million, a decrease of $3.7 million compared to last year.
Higher earnings and progress with working capital initiatives were
more than offset by higher medical and severance benefits, higher
income tax payments and higher performance-based employee
compensation payments related to our 2006 operating performance.
The strong cash flow performance drove debt reduction of
$68.5 million in the quarter.

"We ran on all cylinders in the first quarter having performed
well compared with our key objectives for 2007," Schram stated.
"We are pleased with the start to the year and continue to be
energized and passionate about attacking the challenges ahead of
us.  We still have a lot of work to do, but our objective is to
continue to execute and improve our performance each day and
deliver against our improved commitments."

DEPOMED INC: March 31 Balance Sheet Upside-down by $37.5 Million
----------------------------------------------------------------
Depomed Inc.'s balance sheet at March 31, 2007, showed
$37.0 million in total assets and $74.5 million in total
liabilities, resulting in a $37.5 million total stockholders'
deficit.

Depomed reported a net loss of $10.9 million for the first quarter
ended March 31, 2007, compared to a net loss of $7.8 million for
the comparable period in 2006.  Cash and investment balances at
March 31, 2007, were $25.8 million.

Revenues increased to $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2007
from $1.3 million in the same period of 2006 primarily as a result
of $1.3 million of product sales and $1.3 million of license
revenue for the company's commercialized diabetes product,
Glumetza(TM).  Operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31,
2007, were $14.8 million compared to $9.6 million for the same
period in 2006.  The increase was primarily due to expenses
associated with the commercialization of Glumetza, legal expenses
related to the ongoing patent infringement case against IVAX and
expenses related to the ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial for
Gabapentin GR(TM) for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia
(PHN).  Additionally, stock-based compensation expense for the
first quarter of 2007 was $493,000.

"We have begun 2007 with positive news on the clinical and
commercialization front," said John F. Hamilton, chief financial
officer of Depomed.  "In the first quarter, we announced
completion of enrollment for the Phase 3 clinical trial for
Gabapentin GR for PHN and filed an Investigational New Drug
application for the use of Gabapentin GR to treat menopausal hot
flashes.  In addition, we have supported the new detailing program
that our partner King Pharma has put in place to further increase
market share for Glumetza.  We have already seen positive results
from the new detailing program.  In the near term, we are looking
forward to announcing the top line data from our Phase 3
Gabapentin PHN trial mid year".

a strong and deep management team; bringing the company current on
its financial reporting; establishing sound relationships with all
of our regulators; and putting in place a strategy to be a
competitive provider of a broad arrange of financial services and

have the technology and infrastructure to enable us to
strategically move to a community banking approach to better serve

down 1 percent from the prior year period.  During the first
quarter of 2007, the company also incurred transition costs of
$2.9 million compared with $4.5 million in the prior year period.

Net income before non-core gains and charges for the first quarter
of 2007 was $59.6 million, up 7 percent from $55.7 million in the

EMBARQ CORP: March 31 Balance Sheet Upside-down by $331 Million
---------------------------------------------------------------
EMBARQ Corp.'s balance sheet at March 31, 2007, showed
$8.98 billion in total assets and $9.31 billion in total
liabilities, resulting in a $331 million total stockholders'
deficit.

The company's balance sheet at March 31, 2007, also showed
strained liquidity with $1.01 billion in total current assets
available to pay $1.42 billion in total current liabilities.

Embarq reported net income of $160 million for the first quarter
ended March 31, 2007, compared with net income of $214 million for
the same period ended March 31, 2006.

The company reported net operating revenues of $1.59 billion,
operating income of $371 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2007.  This compares with net operating revenues of $1.56 billion
and operating income of $366 million for the same period in 2006.
Embarq's first quarter operating income was negatively impacted
by, among other items, $17 million of early stage dilution
associated with the company's wireless business, a
$14 million employee severance charge, $9 million of expenses
related to the company's spin-off, and $9 million in depreciation.

EMBARQ's access line results improved in the first quarter, as the
company lost 15,000 fewer lines to competitors than in the same
period a year ago.  In addition, high-speed Internet subscriber
additions reached a company record of 87,000 this quarter.

"Prior to the fourth quarter of 2006, it had been years since we
had seen improvement in access line erosion, so it's significant
that we have been able to accomplish this two quarters in a row,"
said Dan Hesse, Embarq chairman and chief executive officer.
"With an improving access line trend and strong growth in data,
high-speed Internet and wireless revenues, we're off to a great
start in 2007."

EMBARQ reported capital expenditures of $183 million for the first
quarter of 2007.  This amount includes $4 million of separation-
related capital spending.

Driven by its solid operating performance, EMBARQ generated free
cash flow of $317 million in the first quarter.  The company's
strong cash flow enabled a net debt reduction of $356 million.

EMBARQ lost 71,000 access lines in the first quarter of 2007,
which includes a 7,000 line increase associated with a large
business customer win.  The decline of 71,000 lines is an
improvement of 15,000 lines from a year ago when the company lost
86,000 lines to competitors and sold 5,000 lines.  On a year-over-
year basis, the company's access lines declined by 5.9%.

The company set a record for high-speed Internet (HSI) subscriber
additions in the first quarter with 87,000.  At the end of the
quarter, EMBARQ had more than 1.1 million HSI subscribers.

The company continued to grow its wireless business, adding 23,000
new subscribers in the quarter.  At quarter end, its wireless
subscriber base totaled 71,000.

EMERITUS CORP: March 31 Balance Sheet Upside-down by $111.6 Mil.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Emeritus Corporation's balance sheet at March 31, 2007, showed
$953.0 million in total assets and $1.06 billion in total
liabilities, resulting in a $111.6 million total stockholders'
deficit.

The company's balance sheet at March 31, 2007, also showed
strained liquidity with $58.9 million in total current assets
available to pay $113.5 million in total current liabilities.

Emeritus reported a net loss of $9.7 million on total operating
revenues of $110.4 million for the first quarter ended March 31,
2007, compared with net income of $4.7 million on total operating
revenues of $101.1 million for the same period ended March 31,
2006.

The increase in revenues was primarily the result of occupancy
improvements of $4.6 million, rate improvements of $4.3 million,
and the remainder from additional management fees from the
Blackstone joint venture.

Exclusive of the $12.2 million expense reduction from the
professional liability settlement in the first quarter of 2006,
and the $1.5 million write-off of lease acquisition costs and the
increase in non-cash stock option expenses of $403,000 in the
first quarter of 2007, operating income from continuing operations
increased by $3.8 million from $3.0 million in 2006 to
$6.8 million in 2007.

Community operating expenses increased $4.1 million from
$66.4 million in 2006 to $70.5 million in 2007.  Approximately
$2.7 million of the increase was due to increases in labor-related
costs and the balance from increases in other operating expenses,
primarily utilities, food costs, contracted services and
insurance.  Operating margin increased to 35.6% from 34.0% in the
first quarter of 2006.

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million from
the prior year, primarily due to an increase of approximately
$1.1 million in labor-related costs and $403,000 in non-cash stock
option compensation expenses.

Depreciation, amortization and facility lease expense increased by
$1.9 million to $25.0 million in 2007 from $23.1 million in 2006
primarily due to the write-off of approximately $1.5 million in
lease acquisition costs as the result of the acquisition of 43
properties formerly operated under long-term leases.  The
remaining increase was primarily due to normal annual escalator
provisions in the company's leases and additional depreciation on
capital improvements to properties.

Net other expense increased by $3.9 million to $14.3 million in
2007 from $10.4 million in 2006 due primarily to an increase of
approximately $1.9 million in interest expense due to the
acquisition of 44 communities since the first quarter of 2006 and
the payment of $1.3 million in incentive fees related to the
convertible debenture transaction.

Exclusive of the professional liability settlement impact of
$13.0 million in 2006 (including an interest accrual reversal of
$766,000), the write-off of lease costs of $1.5 million from the
acquisition transactions, the non-cash stock option expense
increase of $403,000, and the incentive fee payment of
$1.3 million from the debenture conversion transaction in 2007,
the net loss from continuing operations improved by $1.8 million,
from a loss of $8.1 million in 2006 to a loss of $6.3 million in
2007.

EMPIRE RESORTS: March 31 Balance Sheet Upside-down by $10.2 Mil.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Empire Resorts Inc.'s balance sheet at March 31, 2007, showed
$71.3 million in total assets and $81.5 million in total
liabilities, resulting in a $10.2 million total stockholders'
deficit.

Empire Resorts Inc. reported a net loss of $4.3 million for the
first quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared with a net loss of
$1.8 million for the same period ended March 31, 2006.

Net revenue for the first quarter was $18.4 million, down 19% from
the $22.7 million reported in the first quarter of 2006.  Revenue
from racing declined by approximately $2.2 million, or 48%,
reflecting decreased revenue allocations from Off Track Betting
facilities, while revenue from the company's video gaming machine
business also declined by approximately $2.2 million, or 13%,
primarily due to increased competition in the region.  Empire's
video gaming machine business operations experienced a reduction
in daily visits of roughly 9%, and the daily win per unit fell 13%
to $106 for the quarter from $122 in the first quarter of 2006.

The company's operating loss for the quarter was $2.6 million
versus an operating loss of $180,000 in the prior-year period.
EBITDA was a loss of $2.3 million for the quarter compared with
EBITDA of $104,000 in the first quarter of 2006.

"This quarter, Empire faced some particular challenges in its
Monticello Gaming and Raceway operations due to significantly
increased regional competition, but we are taking affirmative
steps, including new marketing, advertising and entertainment
initiatives, to address the evolving market dynamics," commented
David Hanlon, chief executive officer and president.  "In
addition, we are heartened to see pending legislation in Albany
that would improve the split of VLT revenue - essentially
providing additional funds for operators to use for marketing and
capital improvements.  Such legislation would give a much-needed
boost to VLT facilities, including ours, and stimulate long-term
revenue sharing benefits to New York.

"Our balance sheet is strong, with nearly $20 million in cash, and
we made great strides this quarter towards bringing a world-class
St. Regis Mohawk casino to the Catskills - most notably gaining
Governor Spitzer's concurrence to the Section 20 determination.
Only three projects have ever received such an approval.  The
governor also executed an amendment to the existing Tribal-State
Compact between the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe and the State of New
York, allowing gambling in the Catskills.  We now continue to wait
patiently for a decision by the U.S. Department of the Interior to
take the 29 acres into trust for the Mohawk Tribe.

ENERTECH ENVIRONMENTAL: S&P Rates $130.1 Mil. Revenue Bonds at BB
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's assigned its 'BB' rating to EnerTech
Environmental California LLC's $130.125 million senior tax-exempt
revenue bonds series 2007A and its $9.005 million senior taxable
revenue bonds series 2007B, issued by the California Statewide
Communities Development Authority.  The outlook is stable.

The rating on biosolid processor EnerTech's bonds reflects these
risks:

Technology risk: the project represents the first commercial
application of the SlurryCarb process to biosolids.  The biosolids
agreements with Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts and Orange
County Sanitation Districts do not entirely transfer operating
risk to the districts, but rely on some level of performance by
the project.  The 1.4x coverage test for distributions to equity
is somewhat weakened by the existence of second subordinated bonds
that could send modest amounts of cash to the parent after
construction even when the distribution test is not met.  Company
base case results include merchant sales of excess dryer capacity
and E-Fuels sales that may not materialize.  Additional bonds can
be issued if either a forward or backward looking 1.5x coverage
test is met, which could allow additional debt even if the
forward-looking test is failed.

The following strengths offset the risks at the 'BB' rating level:
Strong debt service coverage of 1.39x and 1.69 in the base case
and adequate performance under operational stresses.  Much of the
revenue assumed in our model is under contract with investment-
grade municipalities that are or are estimated to be 'AA' or 'A'
category credits.  The project is important to these offtakers.
Most costs are passed through or nearly passed through to the
districts.  Hauling costs are directly passed through or assumed
by the offtaker.

Gas and utility rates are adjusted annually; operating and
maintenance costs and revenues are escalated by the same index;
contracts contain provisions for cost escalation if uncontrollable
circumstances occur.  EPC and O&M contracts transfer some
construction, design, and operating risk to third parties.  The
process reserve fund specifically allocated $5 million for
purchasing an additional dryer in case there are difficulties in
implementing the SlurryCarb technology.  This provides some
assurance that the project will use a proven drying technology as
a back-up plan and partially mitigates technology risk.



EXTERRAN HOLDINGS: Moody's Places Corporate Family Rating at Ba2
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba2 Corporate Family Rating
and Probability of Default to Exterran Holdings, Inc, the new
company formed to effect the merger between Hanover Compressor
Company and Universal Compression Holdings, Inc.

Moody's also assigned Ba2, LGD3 (40%) ratings to Exterran's
proposed $850 million senior secured revolver and $800 million
senior secured Term Loan A and a Speculative Grade Liquidity
rating of SGL-2.  The outlook is stable.

Proceeds from the proposed senior secured credit facilities will
be used to fund the refinancing of existing Hanover and Universal
debt, including tender/call premiums, fees and other expenses
related to the merger and refinancing.  Following the merger and
refinancing only UCLP's revolving credit facility and Hanover's
4.75% convertible senior notes due 2008 and 2014 are expected to
remain outstanding.

The convertible senior notes remain under review for possible
upgrade pending the completion of the merger after which it is
likely that the notes will be upgraded by two notches.  The
assigned ratings assume these transactions occur as expected and
are subject to a review of the final documents and terms.  The
SGL-2 liquidity rating reflects expectations of good liquidity
over the next four quarters due to large undrawn revolver capacity
as well as the expectation that Exterran's internal cash flow
should be sufficient to cover planned capital expenditures,
interest expense, and working capital needs.

Pete Speer, Moody's Vice-President/Senior Analyst commented,
"Moody's assigned a Ba2 corporate family rating to Exterran
because of the substantial scale and market position yielded by
the merger of Hanover and Universal, tempered by high debt levels
and uncertainties regarding the future capital structure and
leverage profile."

Exterran will be the world's largest compression services company
with pro forma assets of about $6.9 billion at March 31, 2007 and
about 4.5 million of domestic horsepower and 1.5 million
horsepower located internationally.  The combination effectively
doubles the size of the asset base and provides a stronger
business profile through establishing the leading market position
in North American outsourced compression services and additional
international diversification.

Moody's also notes that Exterran's compression services, which
provides 75% of pro forma gross profits as of LTM March 31, 2007
(48% domestic), are more tied to the production cycle rather than
to drilling activity that is more sensitive to commodity prices.
This core business segment provides Exterran with a higher
stability in its cash flows than most other oilfield services
peers.

However, Moody's remains concerned regarding the future capital
structure and leverage levels of Exterran, Universal Compression
Partners, L.P. (UCLP, which will be renamed Exterran Partners, LP
after the merger) and the combined enterprise.  Exterran intends
to transfer its domestic contract compression business to UCLP
over time.  The company will have a lot of flexibility in deciding
the amount and proportions of debt and equity UCLP uses to fund
its purchases of the compression assets and in the use of the cash
proceeds from these sales by Exterran for debt reduction, share
repurchases, international expansion or acquisitions.

Eventually, UCLP will own the assets with the most stable cash
flows while Exterran will directly own the higher risk
international compression assets and more volatile compressor
fabrication and other business lines.  Exterran's creditors'
claims on UCLP assets will be structurally subordinated to UCLP's
creditors with any residual shared with a substantial minority
ownership of UCLP.  As the compression assets move from Exterran
to UCLP, there is the potential for pressure on Exterran's senior
secured and senior unsecured ratings.  The company's ability to
retain its Ba2 rating and stable outlook is dependent on
management striking the appropriate balance between the debt
levels at Exterran and UCLP, as well as on a consolidated basis.

Furthermore, the benefits of the merger to Exterran's credit
profile are restrained by the capital intensity of the compression
business and the significant inherent challenges for domestic
growth, requiring the pursuit of growth in international markets
that have good prospects but increased political risks.

Moody's also notes that while the complexity of capital structure
is being reduced in comparison to its legacy entities, Exterran
will still have a relatively complex capital structure.  In
addition to UCLP and its $315 million senior secured revolver, the
structure is also expected to include an $800 million asset backed
securitization facility which will segregate certain compression
assets into a non-recourse, bankruptcy remote vehicle.  The ABS
collateral reduces the pool of compression assets available to top
up collateral coverage for the senior secured bank facilities.

The ratings have limited upside in the near to medium term due to
the uncertainty surrounding the future capital structure and
leverage profile of the combined enterprise; the amount, pace and
funding of Exterran share repurchases; limited credit accretion
given the expected growth of UCLP and its distributions; and the
merger's integration risks.  However, a substantial reduction in
consolidated leverage as well as a decrease in the complexity of
the capital structure could result in a positive outlook or
ratings upgrade.

The ratings could be pressured if the company incurs substantial
leverage at UCLP in its drop down transactions without an
appropriate reduction of leverage at Exterran in order to maintain
a reasonable combined leverage profile for the Ba2 rating.  An
aggressive use of debt to fund share buybacks at Exterran, or
major acquisitions without substantial equity funding by Exterran
or UCLP could result in a negative outlook or downgrade.

The ratings for Hanover's 4.75% convertible senior notes rated B3,
LGD5 (89%) remain under review for possible upgrade.  All other
ratings for Hanover and Universal are confirmed and will be
withdrawn following the completion of the merger and refinancing,
as detailed below.

Hanover ratings confirmed and to be withdrawn following merger and
retirement of debt:

-- Hanover B1 CFR and PDR

-- Hanover Equipment Trust 2001A 8.50% partly secured notes due
    2008 rated Ba3, LGD3 (30%)

-- Hanover Equipment Trust 2001B 8.75% partly secured notes due
    2014 rated Ba3, LGD3 (30%)

-- 7.5% Senior Notes due 2013 rated B2, LGD4 (59%)

-- 8.625% Senior Notes due 2010 rated B2, LGD4 (59%)

-- 9% Senior Notes due 2014 rated B2, LGD4 (59%)

-- 7.25% Convertible Trust Preferred Stock rated B3, LGD5 (96%)

Universal Compression, Inc. ratings confirmed and to be withdrawn
following merger and retirement of debt:

-- Universal Ba2 CFR and PDR

-- Senior Secured Bank Facilities rated Ba1, LGD3 (36%)

-- 7.25% Senior Notes due 2010 rated B1, LGD5 (88%)

FREEPORT-MCMORAN: S&P Revises Outlooks to Positive from Stable
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services revised its outlooks on
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. and its recently acquired
Phelps Dodge Corp. to positive from stable and affirmed all
ratings, including the 'BB+' corporate credit ratings.  In
addition, S&P assigned its 'BBB' bank loan rating and '1' recovery
rating to Freeport's new $2.45 billion term loan A facility, the
proceeds of which were used to reduce borrowings under its term
loan B facility.  The $3.95 billion credit facility (including the
existing $1.5 billion revolving credit facility) is rated 'BBB',
two notches above the corporate credit rating.  The '1' recovery
indicates expectations for very high (90%-100%) recovery in the
event of a payment default.

"The outlook revision reflects our expectation that the Freeport-
McMoRan should be able to reduce its borrowings, specifically the
$2.45 billion under its term loan A facility, in a reasonable time
frame to warrant an upgrade of the corporate credit rating to
investment grade," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Thomas
Watters.  "Commodity end markets remain robust, which should help
to reduce unadjusted debt levels to about $7 billion-$7.2 billion
from about $9.7 billion currently.  With our assessment of
Freeport's business profile and our outlook on copper prices, this
level of book debt would warrant an investment-grade rating.  For
an upgrade of one notch into investment grade, we expect funds
from operations to total adjusted debt to average 25%-30%."

The company's vast reserve base, a diversified production stream,
and a good pipeline of developmental projects support the current
rating.

"On the other hand," Mr. Watters said, "Freeport remains burdened
by exposure to Indonesia and the inherent volatility of the
commodity markets.  If the company does not reduce debt in a
timely manner and/or a meaningful decline in commodity prices
occurs, impeding the company's progress in reducing debt, we could
revise the outlook to stable."

GENERAL MOTORS: Will Acquire 50% Equity Interest in VM Motori
-------------------------------------------------------------
General Motors Corp. reached a joint venture agreement with Penske
Corporation to purchase 50% equity of VM Motori S.p.A, a designer
and manufacturer of diesel engines based in Cento, Italy.

This investment builds on GM's existing relationship with VM
Motori, GM's diesel expertise worldwide, and its strong
relationship with Isuzu.

"Diesel engines have a very important role in GM's global advanced
propulsion strategy," Tom Stephens, group vice president, GM
Global Powertrain and Quality, said.  "We are leveraging expertise
and resources within our company and through technology partners
to ensure we develop the world's best powertrains."

GM disclosed at the Geneva Motor Show that it will jointly develop
a new 2.9-liter V-6 turbo diesel engine with VM Motori that is
scheduled to launch in the Cadillac CTS in Europe in 2009.  GM
Powertrain Europe will focus on the development of the first
industry application of a clean combustion process called closed-
loop combustion control, electronic engine control and exhaust-gas
aftertreatment, as well as calibration and integration into GM
vehicles.  VM Motori plans to build the new unit at its plant in
Cento, Italy, and is responsible for the mechanical aspects of the
engine's design, development and testing.

Penske Corporation, based in Bloomfield, Michigan, is a
transportation services company that encompasses retail automotive
sales and services, truck leasing, supply chain logistics
management, transportation components manufacturing, and high-
performance racing.

VM Motori, founded in 1947, specializes in engine design and
production for a variety of uses, including light commercial
vehicles.

GM currently offers 17 diesel engine variants in 45 vehicle lines
around the world.  GM sells more than one million diesel engines
annually, with products that offer a range of choices from the
1.3L four-cylinder diesel engine sold in the Opel Agila and Corsa,
up to the 6.6L V-8 Duramax diesel sold in full-size vans, heavy
duty pickups and medium duty trucks in the U.S.

GENESIS HEALTHCARE: Moody's Holds Ba3 Corporate Family Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service confirmed the Ba3 Corporate Family
Rating and all debt instrument ratings of Genesis HealthCare
Corporation concluding the review of the company's ratings.

Moody's will also be withdrawing the ratings of Genesis Healthcare
following the announcement that the company has been acquired by a
joint venture between affiliates of Formation Capital, LLC and JER
Partners.

The ratings were placed under review on Jan. 17, 2007, following
the announcement that the company had entered into a definitive
agreement to be acquired.  The company's rated debt was retired on
July 13, 2007 in conjunction with the transaction; therefore,
Moody's will be withdrawing the existing ratings of Genesis
Healthcare.

These ratings have been confirmed and will be withdrawn:

-- $125 million senior secured revolving credit facility due
    2010, Baa3 (LGD1, 9%)

-- 8% senior subordinated notes due 2013, B1 (LGD4, 63%)

-- Corporate Family Rating, Ba3

-- Probability of Default Rating, Ba3

Genesis HealthCare Corporation is a leading long-term care
provider in the United States, with a primary focus on inpatient
and rehabilitation therapy services.  As of March 31, 2007, the
company owned, leased, managed, or jointly owned 220 eldercare
centers.  Moody's estimates that the company recognized net
revenue of about $1.9 billion for the twelve months ended
March 31, 2007.


GLOBAL POWER: Exclusive Plan-Filing Period Extended to August 22
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware extended
Global Power Equipment Group Inc. and its debtor-affiliates'
exclusive period to file for a Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization
until August 22, 2007, and not on Oct. 1, 2007, as the Debtors
requested, Bill Rochelle of Bloomberg News reports.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 14, 2007,
the Debtors asked for the extension citing that it was in talks
with the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the
Official Committee of Equity Security Holders.  The Debtors
contended that the extension would allow them additional time to
better formulate a consensual chapter 11 reorganization plan.

Based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Global Power Equipment Group Inc. aka
GEEG Inc. -- http://www.globalpower.com/-- provides power
generation equipment and maintenance services for its customers in
the domestic and international energy, power and infrastructure
and service industries.  The company designs, engineers and
manufactures a range of heat recovery and auxiliary equipment
primarily used to enhance the efficiency and facilitate the
operation of gas turbine power plants as well as for other
industrial and power-related applications.  The company has
facilities in Plymouth, Minnesota; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Auburn,
Massachusetts; Atlanta, Georgia; Monterrey, Mexico; Shanghai,
China; Nanjing, China; and Heerleen, The Netherlands.

The company and 10 of its affiliates filed for chapter 11
protection on Sept. 28, 2006 (Bankr. D. Del. Case No 06-11045).
Attorneys at White & Case LLP and The Bayard Firm, P.A.,
represent the Debtors.  Adam G. Landis, Esq., and Kerri K.
Mumford, Esq., at Landis Rath & Cobb LLP represents the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  As of Sept. 30, 2005, the
Debtors reported total assets of $381,131,000 and total debts
Of $123,221,000.


GRANDE COMMS: Additional Notes Issuance Cue S&P to Affirm Ratings
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its ratings on San
Marcos, Texas-based cable TV over-builder and communications
provider Grande Communications Holdings Inc., including the 'B-'
corporate credit rating, 'B-' secured note rating, and '4'
recovery rating.  This follows the company's announced proposed
issuance of $25 million of additional secured notes, which are
pari passu with the company's existing $168 million of secured
notes.  The issuance of this additional debt, which is subject to
consent from existing note-holders, is for general corporate
purposes.  The issuance delays improvement in the company's
financial metrics, with pro forma leverage expected to be about
5.5x for 2007, compared with our prior expectations of about 4.9x.
The outlook is stable.

"The ratings on Grande reflect its vulnerable business position in
the face of substantial competition from much-larger incumbent
cable TV operator Time Warner Cable Inc. and incumbent local
telephone company AT&T Inc.," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Catherine Cosentino.  The ratings also reflect Grande's
small scale, margins constricted by a high cost structure, and
growing leverage.  These factors are partially mitigated by the
company's growing subscriber base and improving economies of
scale.

Grande provides cable TV, broadband, and telephone services in
seven markets in Texas, including Austin/San Marcos, San Antonio,
suburban northwest Dallas, Waco, Corpus Christi, Midland/Odessa,
and Houston.  It has about 139,226 customers, and total
connections in excess of 300,000.  It is also a small competitive
local exchange carrier that serves larger regional businesses and
carriers.  Through its CLEC business, Grande offers broadband
transport services and network services to medium and large
enterprises and communications carriers.

GSI GROUP: S&P Affirms B Rating and Revises Outlook to Stable
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B' corporate
credit rating on Assumption, Illinois-based GSI Group Inc. and
revised its outlook to stable from negative.

At the same time, Standard & Poor's assigned its bank loan rating
of 'B' and a recovery rating of '3' to GSI Holdings LLC's proposed
$355 million first-lien credit facilities, indicating the
expectation for meaningful recovery (50% to 70%) in the event of a
payment default.  The facilities are guaranteed by GSI Group Inc.
The proposed $120 million second-lien term loan is not rated.

"The outlook revision to stable reflects our expectations that,
despite significantly higher debt levels following its acquisition
by Centerbridge, recent good operating performance and continuing
favorable industry fundamentals for grain storage should result in
positive free cash flow generation and gradual debt reduction,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Gregoire Buet.  Pro forma
leverage will increase, but will be less than originally expected
when the transaction was first announced given better-than
expected operating performance in recent quarters.


GSI HOLDINGS: Moody's Puts Corporate Family Rating at B2
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned ratings to GSI Holdings Corp.
and GSI Holdings, LLC.

The ratings of GSI Holdings Corp. include a B2 corporate family
rating and B2 probability of default.  The ratings for GSI
Holdings, LLC include a B1 (LGD3, 36%) for the company's
$50 million first lien revolver and $305 million term loan.  The
outlook is stable.  The purpose of the revolver and term loan is
to fund a transaction under which affiliates of Centerbridge
Capital Partners, L.P. will acquire a majority ownership position
in GSI.

In a related action, Moody's confirmed the ratings of The GSI
Group, Inc., including a B2 corporate family rating, a B2
probability of default, and a B3 (LGD5, 71%) for the company's
guaranteed senior global notes.  The speculative grade liquidity
rating of GSI Group remains SGL-2 and the outlook is stable.  It
is anticipated that upon closing of the GSI acquisition
substantially all existing notes of GSI Group will have been
tendered and retired, and that all ratings assigned to GSI Group
will be withdrawn.

The B2 rating of GSI reflects Moody's view that despite recent
notable improvement in the company's operating performance and
credit metrics, the planned acquisition will increase overall debt
by $316 million on a pro forma basis.  This increase in leverage
will offset the improvement that occurred in the company's
financial metrics.  Moody's views the pro forma financial metrics
of GSI following the acquisition as being consistent with the
maintenance of the B2 corporate family rating.

The higher leverage makes GSI more vulnerable to operating
shortfalls and could hinder financial flexibility in a downturn.
These credit metrics position GSI as one of the more leveraged
companies in the universe of rated capital equipment companies.
Furthermore, higher capital spending is expected over the next few
years as the company continues to invest in the upgrading of its
production facilities and ramps up capacity.  In addition,
administrative costs could rise as the company adds management
systems to support anticipated growth.

Despite these financial and operational challenges GSI has some
significant strengths including:

   i. strong expected demand for grain storage products due to the
      likelihood that corn prices will remain relatively high and
      drive increased corn plantings;

  ii. leading market positions including a large, established base
      of equipment dealers and well known brands; and,

iii. the potential to improve cash flows and earnings should the
      capital investment program be successful in enhancing
      operating efficiencies.  These strengths and an expectation
      of ample liquidity should enable the company to strengthen
      debt protection measures in the intermediate term.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's belief that GSI's debt
protection measures should improve over the intermediate term with
leverage reducing to levels that would enable the company to
absorb unforeseen events without significantly impairing debt
service capability.

The B1 rating assigned to both the $50 million first lien revolver
and $305 million term loan, rated one notch higher than the
corporate family rating, reflects an LGD 3 (36%) loss given
default assessment.  The rating on the first lien debt
significantly benefits from the presence of $120 million of second
lien term loan debt, unrated by Moody's, that would rank in claim
behind the first lien holders in a recovery scenario.

GSI Holdings Corp. is headquartered in Assumption, IL, is a
leading manufacturer and supplier of agricultural equipment.  The
company's products include grain storage systems (60% of FY06
sales), and swine and poultry production equipment (40%) that is
sold through a network of over 1,000 independent dealers in about
75 countries.


INSTANT WEB: Moody's Assigns B2 Corporate Family Rating
-------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 corporate family rating
and a B2 probability of default rating to Instant Web, Inc. and
ratings to its proposed credit facility.

The proposed transaction consists of a $25 million first lien
revolving credit facility (undrawn at close), a $230 million first
lien term loan, a $20 million first lien delayed draw term loan
(undrawn at close) and a $135 million second lien term loan.
Proceeds, along with an approximately $135 million cash equity
contribution from Avista Capital Partners, will fund the repayment
of existing debt, about $200 million, and the purchase of common
equity currently held by Court Square Capital Partners.
Management will also retain an ownership stake.

Instant Web intends to use the $20 million delayed draw term loan
to fund expansionary capital expenditures for a facility purchased
in late 2006.

The outlook is stable and a summary of the actions are:

Instant Web, Inc.

-- Corporate Family Rating, Assigned B2

-- Probability of Default Rating, Assigned B2

-- First Lien Bank Credit Facility, Assigned B1, LGD3, 32%

-- Second Lien Bank Credit Facility, Assigned Caa1, LGD5, 84%

The B2 corporate family rating reflects high financial risk,
customer concentration, and lack of scale, somewhat offset by
Instant Web's compelling business model, continued favorable
trends in the direct mail industry and the company's track record.
Adequate external liquidity and the approximately 30% equity
contribution also support the rating.

Headquartered in Chanhassen, Minnesota, Instant Web, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of parent holding company IWCO Direct
Holdings, Inc., provides its clients an integrated package of
direct mail production services, including print, envelope,
plastic, mailing, and data services. The company is the largest
commingler of standard mail in North America. Its annual revenue
is approximately $300 million.


INSTANT WEB: High Debt Leverage Cues S&P to Assign B Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' corporate
credit rating to Instant Web Inc.  The rating outlook is stable.

At the same time, Standard & Poor's assigned its loan and recovery
ratings to Instant Web's $410 million senior secured credit
facilities, consisting of a $275 million first-lien loan and a
$135 million second-lien loan.  The first-lien facility was rated
'B+' with a recovery rating of '2', indicating that lenders can
expect substantial (70% to 90%) recovery in the event of a payment
default.  The second-lien facility was rated 'CCC+' with a
recovery rating of '6', indicating that lenders can expect
negligible (0% to 10%) recovery in the event of a payment default.
Proceeds from the facilities will be used to fund the purchase of
Instant Web from its current owners, following a purchase
agreement by Avista Capital Partners.

"The 'B' corporate credit rating reflects Instant Web's high pro
forma debt leverage, the expectation of an aggressive financial
policy of the new owners, the company's narrow business focus in a
competitive operating environment, and customer concentration,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Ariel Silverberg.  "These
factors are somewhat mitigated by Instant Web's good position in
direct mail and the company's track record of new customer wins
and increased customer penetration."

Instant Web is a wholly owned subsidiary of IWCO Direct Inc. and a
private company; therefore, it does not publicly disclose its
financial statements.  Pro forma adjusted debt to EBITDA and
interest coverage are somewhat weak for the rating; however, these
metrics are expected to improve over the intermediate term as the
company improves capacity rationalization and continues to expand
its customer base.

Instant Web is a direct mail solutions provider offering a "one-
stop shop" business model for customers seeking a single provider
for all aspects of production in the supply chain for direct mail
campaigns.  These offerings include data management, form print,
lithograph, envelopes, and co-mailing.  Providing co-mailing
capability is an advantage for print companies, as it allows them
to pass postage savings on to customers, an attractive selling
point when competing for new customer wins.


INTERSTATE BAKERIES: Chief Financial Officer R. Hutchison Resigns
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Interstate Bakeries Corporation disclosed the resignation of
Ronald B. Hutchison as executive vice president and chief
financial officer.  J. Randall Vance, senior vice president
finance and treasurer, will serve as interim CFO and oversee the
company's financial operations until a permanent successor to Mr.
Hutchison, who has accepted the CFO position with a privately held
company, is named. Mr. Hutchison will remain with the Company
through July 31 to help ensure an orderly transition.

"It is with regret that I accept Ron's resignation at this time,"
said Craig Jung, chief executive officer.  "Ron has been an
integral member of the executive team, and instrumental in leading
the company's Sarbanes-Oxley compliance efforts and bringing the
company current with its Securities and Exchange Commission
filings.  I speak for the entire management team in thanking him
for his commitment and dedication during these difficult times.

"We are fortunate to have someone with Randy's financial
experience to help move us forward in the financial function," Mr.
Jung said.  "Since Randy joined the company three years ago, he
has been responsible for restructuring an extensive risk
management program for IBC, negotiating amendments to our credit
facilities, managing our letter-of-credit portfolio and developing
reliable financial controls and discipline," Mr. Jung said.

Mr. Vance joined IBC in September 2004.  He had previously been
with Farmland Industries Inc. for 13 years, most recently as vice
president and treasurer.  Mr. Vance holds both an M.B.A. and a
B.B.A in finance from the University of Missouri.

"We do not anticipate any disruption or delay in reporting our
year-end results for FY 2007, which we anticipate will occur in
mid-August as planned," Mr. Jung said.  "Going forward, we expect
to provide all financial reports required by the Court and the SEC
on a timely basis."

The company and seven of its debtor-affiliates filed for
chapter 11 protection on Sept. 22, 2004 (Bankr. W.D. Mo. Case No.
04-45814).  J. Eric Ivester, Esq., and Samuel S. Ory, Esq., at
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP represent the Debtors in
their restructuring efforts.  When the Debtors filed for
protection from their creditors, they listed $1,626,425,000 in
total assets and $1,321,713,000 (excluding the $100,000,000 issue
of 6.0% senior subordinated convertible notes due August 15, 2014)
in total debts.  The Debtors' exclusive period to file a chapter
11 plan expires on Oct. 5, 2007.


ITC DELTACOM: Amends New Equity Financing Agreement
---------------------------------------------------
ITC DeltaCom Inc. amended a component of the new equity financing
that it previously announced on June 11, 2007.

The company has entered into a definitive agreement to sell to
existing institutional shareholders, including H Partners LP,
Joshua Tree Capital Partners LP, and Trace Partners LP,
$41.2 million of a new series of convertible redeemable preferred
stock at a purchase price of $100 per share in connection with the
closing of the company's previously announced refinancing
transactions.

The sale of the new series of preferred stock will serve as bridge
financing until the company consummates a registered rights
offering for the benefit of minority shareholders in which the
company will offer to holders of each share of its common stock on
the date of record non-transferable rights to purchase about
1.18 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $3.03 per
share.  Certain common shareholders, including those affiliated
with Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe and Tennenbaum Capital
Partners LLC, will not participate in the rights offering.

Proceeds of the rights offering will be used to redeem in whole or
in part the new issue of preferred stock, and each share of the
new issue of preferred stock held by the Backstop Group which is
not redeemed from the proceeds of the rights offering will
mandatorily and automatically convert into 33 shares of the
company's common stock.  If there is full subscription by eligible
shareholders, the new issue of preferred stock would be redeemed
in full, and minority shareholders would increase their ownership
in the company from about 20.8% to about 23.5% on a fully diluted
basis. As a result of the foregoing agreement, Credit Suisse's
previously announced commitment to purchase $29 million of common
stock in connection with the recapitalization transactions will be
terminated.  Upon the completion of the recapitalization
transactions and the rights offering, the company will have about
85 million shares of common stock outstanding on a fully diluted
basis.

The new agreement, like the previously announced transactions, was
approved by a committee of independent directors with the
assistance of independent legal and investment advisors.

The closing of the purchase of the new issue of preferred stock,
as well as the registration of the rights offering, is conditioned
on the completion of the other transactions which were previously
announced and other customary financing conditions.  It is also a
condition to the sale of the new issue of preferred stock that the
company redeem half of its outstanding Series A preferred stock
for about $11 million and convert the balance of the Series A
preferred stock into about 1.7 million shares of common stock.
Subject to the satisfaction of these conditions, the company
currently expects it will close the purchase of the new issue of
preferred stock and the refinancing transactions early in the
third quarter of 2007.

JOHN FISK: Voluntary Chapter 11 Case Summary
--------------------------------------------
Debtor: John D. Fisk

KINDER MORGAN: Moody's Rates $100 Million Preferred Stock at Ba2
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a rating of Ba2 to $100 million
of Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock due
2057 issued by Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc.

The rating outlook is stable.  This is the first time that Moody's
rated a security issued by KMGP, which is the general partner of
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners L.P.  Proceeds will be used to pay
down debt at Knight Inc., formerly known as Kinder Morgan, Inc.,
Ba2 CFR.  The rating is based on KMP's Baa2 senior unsecured
rating and stable outlook and is notched to reflect the equity
claim on the distributions from KMP that will service the
preferred's dividends.  The preferreds will rank senior to KMGP's
common stock that is ultimately owned by Knight.

As Knight's strategy evolves as a private entity, so too may
KMGP's capital structure.  If KMGP incurs debt, the preferred's
rating could be subject to change.

The preferreds will be assigned Basket A treatment on Moody's
Debt-Equity Continuum and will receive 100% debt treatment for the
consolidated financial ratios of Knight.

The basket allocation is based on these rankings for the three
dimensions of equity:

                       No Maturity

None -- The preferreds have a maturity of 50 years and may be
called at KMGP's option after 5 years.  They may be redeemed in
whole before then if either Knight is rated investment grade or
KMP's rating is not adversely affected by the redemption.  KMGP is
required to redeem the preferreds if it is no longer the general
partner of KMP or if its Debt/EBITDA ratio exceeds 2.5x and its
ratings are downgraded as a result.  The exception to this
provision is in the case of a merger or consolidation when the
preferreds either remain outstanding with their current rights or
are exchanged for like securities with rights that are no less
favorable.

                   No Ongoing Payments

Weak -- The issuer can always opt to defer and any deferred
payments are cumulative.

                     Loss Absorption

Strong - Preferred priority of claim in bankruptcy.  The
preferreds will rank senior to KMGP's common stock, 100% of which
is held by a subsidiary of Knight.  An affirmative vote by the
holders of at least 50% of the amount of the Preferreds
outstanding is required to put KMP or its SFPP or Calnev
subsidiaries into voluntary bankruptcy.  This feature is one
ringfencing mechanism that is being put in place to more clearly
separate KMP's credit from that of Knight, a heavily leveraged
entity that ultimately owns the general partner of KMP, and in
which capacity has significant control of KMP.

Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc., an indirect subsidiary of Knight Inc.,
is the general partner of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. The
company is headquartered in Houston, Texas.


LAND O'LAKES: To Pay $500,000 for Cache Trademark Infringement
--------------------------------------------------------------
Land O'Lakes, Inc., disclosed in a filing with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission that the trial for a lawsuit
filed by Cache La Poudre Feeds, LLC, in the United States District
Court for the District of Colorado against the company, Land
O'Lakes Purina Feed  LLC and certain named individuals, concluded
last July 10, 2007.

Cache sought damages of at least $132.8 million, which, it
claimed, was the amount the company generated in gains, profits
and advantages from using the profile trade name.  In response to
Cache's complaint, the company denied any wrongdoing and pursued
certain counterclaims against Cache relating to trademark
infringement, and other claims against Cache for, among other
things, defamation and libel.

Since the company believed that Cache's calculation of the
company's gains, profits and advantages allegedly generated from
the use of the profile trade name was grossly overstated and that
the sales revenue generated from the sale of products carrying the
profile trade name was immaterial, the company allowed the case to
move to trial.

The jury determined that Cache suffered actual damages of about
$500,000.  In addition, the jury provided an advisory opinion to
the judge that could require the company to pay to Cache an
additional $14.6 million for alleged company profits.  The judge,
however, is granted the authority to make any awards determination
relating to awarding Cache any of the company's profits, and the
company expects a final ruling within 45 days from the conclusion
of the trial.

LEAR CORP: Terminates Merger Agreement with American Real Estate
----------------------------------------------------------------
At Lear Corporation's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on
July 16 in Wilmington, Delaware, an insufficient number of shares
were voted in favor of the merger proposal with American Real
Estate Partners L.P.  As a result of this vote by stockholders,
Lear's Merger Agreement with AREP will terminate in accordance
with its terms and Lear will continue to operate as a standalone
publicly-traded company.

"We respect the stockholder majority and intend to operate our
business going forward with the same high level of intensity and
commitment to customer satisfaction and stockholder value we have
always had," Bob Rossiter, Lear's chairman and chief executive
officer, said.  "At the time we entered into the Merger Agreement
with AREP, we had a clear strategy and business plan for the
future.  We will continue to execute that plan."

"In the end, while there were many different viewpoints
on the transaction, the decision came down to each individual
owner's investment perspective, outlook for the future and
assessment of the risks, Mr. Rossiter continued.  "What we all can
take away from this proposed transaction and ultimate vote is
that both Mr. Icahn and our present stockholders share a common
positive view of Lear's long-term prospects."

Additionally, stockholders voted on these items:

   -- For the reelection of three directors, Larry W. McCurdy, Roy
      E. Parrott and Richard F. Wallman;

   -- For amendments to Lear's Amended and Restated Certificate of
      Incorporation in order to eliminate the current classified
      structure of the Board and phase in over a three year period
      the annual election of each member of the Board;

   -- For the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Lear's
      Independent registered public accounting firm;

   -- For a non-binding stockholder proposal to initiate a process
      to amend the Corporate governance documents to provide that
      director nominees will be elected by affirmative vote of the
      majority of votes cast at the annual meeting of
      stockholders, with a plurality vote standard retained for
      the contested director elections, that is, when the number
      of nominees exceeds the number of board seats;

   -- Against a non-binding stockholder proposal on Global Human
      Rights Standards.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 10, 2007, the
company approved an amendment to the Merger Agreement with AREP.
Under the amendment, AREP agreed to increase its offer price for
shares of Lear common stock from $36 to $37.25 per share.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Fitch Rates $3.8 Mil. Class B Certificates at BB+
------------------------------------------------------------------
Lehman Brothers Small Balance Commercial Mortgage pass-through
certificates, series 2007-2 are rated by Fitch Ratings as:

  -- $435.6 million class 1A1, 1A2, 1A3, 1A4, 2A1, 2A2 and 2A3,
     'AAA';
  -- $16.3 million class M1, 'AA';
  -- $15 million class M2 'A+';
  -- $12.5 million class M3 'A-';
  -- $11.3 million class M4 'BBB';
  -- $6.3 million class M5 'BBB-';
  -- $3.8 million class B 'BB+'.

The 'AAA' rating on the senior certificates reflects the 14.00%
initial subordination provided by the 3.25% class M1, the 3.00%
class M2, the 2.50% class M3, the 2.25% class M4, the 1.25% class
M5, the 0.75% class B, as well an initial Reserve Fund of 1.00%.
All certificates are offered through private placement.  The
ratings on the certificates and notes reflect the quality of the
underlying collateral and Fitch's level of confidence in the
integrity of the legal and financial structure of the transaction.

The mortgage pool primarily consists of 900 fixed- rate,
adjustable-rate and hybrid, fully amortizing, first lien small
balance commercial mortgage loans with an aggregate principal
balance of $500,663,000.  As of the cut-off date of May 31, 2007,
the mortgage loans had a weighted average current loan-to-value
ratio of 64.17%, weighted average coupon of 8.11%, weighted
average remaining term of 300 months and an average principal
balance of $556,293.  The three largest state concentrations are
California (32.80%), Florida (12.00%), and New York (8.60%).


LEUCADIA NATIONAL: Strong Management Team Cues S&P to Lift Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its long-term
counterparty credit rating on Leucadia National Corp. to 'BB+'
from 'BB'.  The outlook is stable.

"The rating action reflects Leucadia's strong management team,
which is clearly defined by its continued investment success in an
increasingly competitive market; its ability to adapt to changing
industry dynamics; its improved investment diversification; and
its conservative approach to liquidity management," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Adom Rosengarten.

The stable outlook reflects management's strong investment prowess
and Leucadia's ability to find deep discounts, therefore
mitigating investment risk.  The significance of this rating
factor has grown over time as the company proves its ability to
succeed.  Future rating actions will take into account how
Leucadia operates in the increasingly competitive environment.
Further development of a succession plan will also be a factor.
Because all investment decisions run through the firm's chairman
and president, there is significant key-man risk, and the company
does not currently have a definitive succession plan in place.

MORGAN STANLEY: Moody's Assigns Low-B Ratings on Two Cert. Classes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Aaa rating to the senior
certificates issued by Morgan Stanley Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-
9SL, and ratings ranging from Aa3 to Ba2 to the mezzanine and
subordinate certificates in the deal.

The securitization is backed by fixed- rate, second lien mortgage
loans acquired by Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Inc.  The
collateral was originated by various original loan sellers, none
of which originated more than 10% of the mortgage loans.  The
Class A ratings are based primarily on the financial guaranty
insurance policy provided by MBIA Insurance Corporation.
Additional credit enhancements will be provided by subordination,
overcollateralization, and excess spread.  Moody's expects
collateral losses to range from 12.25% to 12.75%.

Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. will service the mortgage loans.
Moody's has assigned Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. its servicer
quality rating of SQ2+ as a primary servicer of subprime loans.

MOTHERS WORK: June 2007 Sales Goes Down 5.4% to $46.9 Million
-------------------------------------------------------------
Mothers Work Inc.'s net sales for the month of June 2007 decreased
5.4% to $46.9 million from $49.6 million reported for the month of
June 2006.  The decrease in sales versus last year resulted
primarily from a decrease in comparable store sales.  Comparable
store sales for June 2007 decreased 5.4% versus a comparable store
sales increase of 6.2% for June 2006.

The comparable store sales decrease of 5.4% for June 2007 was
favorably impacted by approximately 2 to 3 percentage points due
to having five Saturdays in June 2007 compared to four Saturdays
in June 2006.  During June 2007, the company opened two multi-
brand stores, including its 14th Destination Maternity(R)
superstore and closed seven stores, including six stores related
to multi-brand store openings.  As of the end of June 2007, the
company operates 787 stores, 812 leased department locations and
1,599 total retail locations, compared to 815 stores, 725 leased
department locations and 1,540 total retail locations operated at
the end of June 2006.

Net sales decreased 6.5% to $153.2 million for the third quarter
of fiscal 2007 ended June 30, 2007, from $163.9 million for the
same period of the preceding year.  The decrease in sales versus
last year resulted primarily from a decrease in comparable store
sales, partially offset by increased sales from the company's
licensed relationship and marketing partnerships.  Comparable
store sales decreased 8.2% during the third quarter of fiscal 2007
versus a comparable store sales increase of 6.4% during the third
quarter of fiscal 2006.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the
company opened five stores, including four multi-brand store
openings, and closed 13 stores, with eight of the store closings
related to multi-brand store openings.

                       Management Comments

Rebecca Matthias, president and chief creative officer of Mothers
Work, noted, "Our sales for June were weaker than we had planned
and we attribute this primarily to a continued difficult overall
economic and retail environment, as well as negative impact from
the current popularity of certain styles in the non-maternity
women's apparel market, such as trapeze and baby-doll dresses and
tops, which can more readily fit a pregnant woman early in her
pregnancy than typical non-maternity fashions.  As a result of our
continued weaker than expected sales trend, our sales for the
third quarter of $153.2 million were lower than our guidance range
of $160 million to $166 million provided in our April 24, 2007
press release, with our comparable store sales decrease of 8.2%
for the quarter falling short of our guidance range for third
quarter comparable store sales of between down 4% and down 0.5%.
The weak sales trend we have seen in recent months has also
resulted in us taking some increased markdowns to help manage our
inventory level, which has resulted in somewhat lower than planned
gross margins.  With our lower than planned sales for the quarter,

offset somewhat by lower than planned operating expenses,
reflecting continued tight expense controls, we project that our
third quarter diluted earnings per share, excluding the charge
related to our $90 million debt redemption in April 2007, will be
between $0.86 and $0.90 per share, below our guidance for diluted
earnings per common share of between $1.25 per share and $1.55 per
share excluding the debt redemption charge.  It is very important
to note that with our aggressive actions to manage our inventory
level, including increasing our markdown levels, our overall
inventory level is only slightly higher than last year, and we
believe we can continue to manage our inventory levels without
resorting to excessive markdown levels.

"As previously reported, we expect that the redemption of our $90
million 1114% Senior Notes on April 18, 2007 with the proceeds of
a $90 million Term Loan, will result in a decrease in annualized
pre-tax interest expense of approximately $3.6 million, yielding
an expected annualized increase to earnings per share of
approximately $0.35 per share on an after-tax basis.  Also, as
previously disclosed, the redemption of the Senior Notes resulted
in a one-time "Loss on extinguishment of debt" of approximately
$7.3 million on a pre-tax basis, or approximately $0.72 per share
on an after-tax basis, which was recognized in our fiscal third
quarter upon the redemption of the senior notes.

"Looking forward, we continue to focus on developing great
maternity product under each of our brands and continuing our
strategic transition, including continuing to expand our marketing
partnerships, our leased department and licensed relationships,
and continuing to roll out our multi-brand stores.  We do not
believe that the recent weakness in our sales performance is
indicative of any impairment of our long-term prospects, but
rather is indicative of a weak overall economic and retail
environment and a temporary fashion trend in the non-maternity
women's apparel market favoring styles which more readily fit a
pregnant woman early in her pregnancy than typical non-maternity
fashions.

"We will report our results for our third quarter on July 24,
2007, at which time we will provide additional information related
to our results for the third quarter and our future financial
guidance, and will host an investor conference call."

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 2, 2007,
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the corporate family rating of
Mothers Work, Inc. to B2 from B3 and its probability of default
rating to B2 from B3.  The rating outlook is stable.  The upgrade
is a result of the company's sustained improvement in operating
performance combined with a sizable debt reduction which has led
to a solid improvement in credit metrics.

In addition, Moody's assigned a B2 rating to Mothers Work's new
proposed senior secured Term Loan B.  The proceeds from the
proposed $90 million Term Loan B would be used to redeem its
existing 11.25% Senior Notes.


MPC CORPORATION: Has Until October 18 to Regain Amex Compliance
---------------------------------------------------------------
MPC Corporation has received a letter from the American Stock
Exchange extending the period for MPC to regain compliance with
the Amex's listing standards to Oct. 18, 2007.  While MPC remains
out of compliance with the continued listing standards, the letter
also stated that MPC has made a reasonable demonstration of its
ability to regain compliance with the listing standards by this
date.

Previously, the Amex had notified MPC that it was out of
compliance with Rule 1003(a)(iv) of the Amex Company Guide
relating to financial conditions and operating results, and
therefore did not meet the Exchange's continued listing standards.

On June 4, 2007, MPC provided the Amex with information regarding
its progress and financial projections.  Based on a review of this
information as well as conversations between Exchange Staff and
representatives of the company, the Amex has agreed to extend the
period by which MPC must regain compliance with its listing
standards until Oct. 18, 2007.

MPC will be subject to periodic review by the Amex staff during
the extension period.  MPC must continue to provide the Amex staff
with monthly updates of financial status and significant corporate
developments.  Failure to make progress consistent with the plan
could result in commencement of immediate delisting proceedings by
the Amex.

OFFICE PORTFOLIO: Fitch Affirms BB+ Rating on Class H Certificates
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed all classes of Office Portfolio Trust
Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2001-HRPT
as:

  -- $16.8 million class A-1 at 'AAA';
  -- $28.0 million class A-2 at 'AAA';
  -- $91.0 million class A-2FL at 'AAA';
  -- $11.6 million class B-FL at 'AA+';
  -- $15.6 million class C-FL at 'AA';
  -- $11.0 million class D at 'A+';
  -- $10.0 million class E at 'A';
  -- Interest only class IO at 'AAA';
  -- $11.1 million class E-FL at 'A';
  -- $17.7 million class F at 'BBB';
  -- $10.8 million class G at 'BBB-';
  -- $17.1 million class H at 'BB+'.

Based on year end 2006 financial statements, and the scheduled
amortization of the loan since Fitch's previous rating action in
January of this year, Fitch affirms all classes of the
transaction.  The transaction collateral consists of 2.2 million
square feet of office properties located in four metropolitan
markets.  The loans amortize on a 30-year schedule with a maturity
date of January 2011.  As of the July 2007 distribution date, the
unpaid principal balance has amortized 7.4%, with the current
balance at $240.6 million compared to $259.8 million at issuance.

As of YE 2006, the two Austin properties included in the six
cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted loans, have both
experienced an increase in net cash flow when compared to YE 2005.
In addition, occupancy at both properties, Bridgepoint (20.7%) and
Lakewood (9.77%), has increased to 88.4% and 96.7% respectively,
as of March 1, 2007, up from 79.1% and 90% at YE 2005.  The Fitch
stressed NCF for the transaction remains slightly below that of
issuance, however, because market rents have declined in several
markets since issuance.

Occupancy at the remaining collateral is stable: Herald Square
(12.3%) and Indiana Avenue (8.9%) in Washington D.C. as well as
the Cedars Sinai Medical (24.3%) building in Los Angeles are all
100% occupied.  The PNC Tower (24.3%) in Philadelphia is 91.8%
occupied.


PHI INC: Subpar Operating Performance Cues S&P's Negative Outlook
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BB-' corporate
credit rating on helicopter service provider PHI Inc. and assigned
its 'BB-' final issue rating to the company's $200 million senior
unsecured notes.  At the same time, S&P revised the outlook on the
company to negative from stable.

As of March 31, 2007, PHI had about $343.4 million in debt,
adjusted for operating leases.

"The outlook revision is based on the company's deteriorating
credit measures and subpar operating performance," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Aniki Saha-Yannopoulos.  This is due to
adverse circumstances associated with the pilot strike, coupled
with the seasonal fluctuations in the past two quarters.  The
strike weakened the company's credit measures and has left it
vulnerable to a downgrade unless operating measures and the
financial profile improve.

The ratings on PHI reflect the company's exposure to the highly
cyclical and volatile oil and gas industry, limited geographic
diversity, exposure to weather and seasonal fluctuations that may
limit flight hours, and a highly leveraged financial risk profile.
Partially tempering these weaknesses are the company's large
market share in the Gulf of Mexico and the industry's
oligopolistic structure.

PRODUCTION RESOURCE: S&P Puts Corporate Credit Rating at B+
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B+' corporate
credit rating and a stable outlook to Production Resource Group
LLC.

At the same time, S&P assigned a bank loan rating of 'B+', the
same as the corporate credit rating on PRG, and recovery rating of
'3' to the company's proposed $400 million first-lien credit
facilities.  The recovery rating indicates our expectation of
meaningful (50%-70%) recovery in the event of a payment default.
The first-lien credit facilities consist of a $75 million
revolving credit facility due 2013 and a $325 million term loan B
due 2014.

Proceeds from the proposed transaction will be used to fund The
Jordan Co.'s acquisition of a 65% interest in PRG.  The management
will own a 35% stake in the company.  Pro forma for the
transaction, total debt outstanding was $327.4 million as of
March 31, 2007.

"The ratings on PRG reflect the company's aggressive financial
policy, fragmented and competitive end markets, and high capital
expenditure requirement for growth," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Tulip Lim.  "These factors are only modestly offset by
PRG's dominant market share in theatrical productions and good
customer retention record."

New Windsor, New York-based PRG is a provider of lighting, audio,
video, scenic-equipment and related services for live events and
theatrical productions.


REABLE THERAPEUTICS: $1.6 Bil. Deal Cues Moody's to Review Ratings
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed DJO, LLC's and ReAble
Therapeutics, Inc. ratings on review for possible downgrade
following the announcement that DJO has entered into a definitive
merger agreement with an affiliate of ReAble valued at about
$1.6 billion, including the assumption of debt.

The reviews for possible downgrade reflect the current lack of
detailed financing information.  The review for ReAble will focus
on the impact on the transaction on its operating metrics.  Sidney
Matti, Analyst, stated that, "The review for DJO will focus
primarily on the company's post-acquisition capital structure."

Reportedly, there is no financing condition required to consummate
the transaction.  ReAble is controlled by an affiliate of The
Blackstone Group who is providing the equity financing for the
transaction.  DJO's Board of Directors unanimously approved the
merger agreement.  The transaction is subject to certain closing
conditions, including the approval of DJO's shareholders,
regulatory approval and the satisfaction of other customary
closing conditions.

Under the merger agreement, DJO may solicit proposals from third
parties during the next 50 days.  If DJO enters into another
definitive agreement, DJO would be obligated to pay ReAble an
$18.7 million break-up fee.

These ratings were placed on review for possible downgrade:

DJO, LLC

-- Ba3 Corporate Family rating;

-- B1 Probability of Default rating;

-- Ba3 (LGD3/33%) rating on $50 million Senior Secured Revolver
    due 2012; and

-- Ba3 (LGD3/33%) rating on $349.1 million Senior Secured Term
    Loan due 2013.

-- The Speculative Grade Liquidity rating is SGL-2.  The
    liquidity rating will be reviewed upon conclusion of the
    proposed transactions.

ReAble Therapeutics, Inc.

-- B2 Corporate Family rating;

-- B2 Probability of Default rating; and

-- The Speculative Grade Liquidity rating is SGL-2.  The
    liquidity rating will be reviewed upon conclusion of the
    proposed transactions.

Encore Medical Finance LLC

-- Ba3 (LGD2/ 25%) rating on $50 million Senior Secured Revolver
    due 2012;

-- Ba3 (LGD2/25%) rating on $350 million Senior Secured Term Loan
    B due 2013; and

-- Caa1 (LGD5/80%) rating on $200 million 11.75% Senior
    Subordinated Notes due 2014.

of solutions for musculoskeletal and vascular health, specializing

SECURITY WITH ADVANCED: Buys Perfect Circle's Projectile Business
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Security With Advanced Technology Inc. disclosed last week that
one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries has acquired the spherical
projectile business unit of Perfect Circle Projectiles LLC, the
industry's leading producer of non-lethal spherical projectiles.
The acquisition, which closed on July 10, 2007, includes Perfect
Circle's and one of its affiliates' domestic and international
patent portfolio, trade secrets, machinery and tooling, and
associated assets and rights for the spherical projectile segment.

"This acquisition adds a key strategic vertical component to
complement our business strategy in the rapidly growing market for
non-lethal and less-lethal solutions," said Scott Sutton,
president and chief executive officer of Security With Advanced
Technology.  "Perfect Circle is an important addition to our
company.  By owning the trade secrets, intellectual property and
equipment, we now have the ability to increase margins and expand
the high-margin consumable aspect of our product base.  This will
provide significant revenue opportunities for SWAT domestically as
well as internationally.  In addition, it will support our ongoing
product development in the non-lethal and less-lethal market
segments."

Projectiles manufactured by the acquired business will be widely
marketed both nationally and internationally to several hundred-
thousand law enforcement and military agencies.  The projectiles
will also be used in SWAT's consumer Avurt IM-5 launcher, which
are expected to be available in August 2007, and SWAT's Veritas
Tactical VT-Mark IV launcher, which is expected to be available
later this month.  Perfect Circle has historically been one of the
main projectile suppliers for PepperBall Technologies. Inc.'s line
of non-lethal PepperBall(TM) brand projectiles.  In connection
with the acquisition there is no assurance that PTI will become a
customer of SWAT's projectile segment as a result of the
acquisition.

On April 13, 2007, PepperBall Technologies Inc. filed a lawsuit
against SWAT and certain of its subsidiaries for patent
infringement and breach of contract. "We have taken substantial
steps to defend this lawsuit and will continue to focus on
vigorously protecting our company and markets," added Sutton.

                       Going Concern Doubt

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 26, 2007,
GHP Horwath P.C. expressed substantial doubt about Security With
Advanced Technology Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern
after auditing the company's consolidated financial statements for
the year ended Dec. 31, 2006.  The auditing firm reported that the
company did not generate significant revenues in 2006, reported a
net loss of approximately $9,347,000 and consumed cash in
operating activities of approximately $5,651,000 for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2006.


SERVICEMASTER CO: S&P Junks Rating on Proposed $1.15 Billion Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's assigned its 'CCC+' rating to The ServiceMaster
Co.'s proposed $1.15 billion 365-day unsecured loan.  At the same
time, Standard & Poor's withdrew its 'CCC+' rating on the
company's proposed $1.15 billion of senior toggle notes due 2015.
Standard & Poor's affirmed its other ratings on ServiceMaster,
including its 'B' corporate credit rating.  The outlook is
negative.

"The 365-day unsecured loan is rated two notches below the
corporate credit rating because of the amount of secured debt in
the capital structure," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jean
Stout.

The ratings on Downers Grove, Illinois-based ServiceMaster reflect
its very highly leveraged financial profile following its pending
acquisition by an investment group led by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice
Inc. for about $5.6 billion, which will result in pro forma total
debt to EBITDA exceeding 9x at closing and significant cash flow
requirements to fund interest.  "Ratings support is provided by
ServiceMaster's good business positions in its fragmented and
competitive end-markets, which have translated into good cash flow
generation from a fairly diverse portfolio of services, despite
some exposure to weather conditions in two of three of its key
businesses," said Ms. Stout.

The acquisition is expected to be financed with a $2.65 billion
term loan, $1.15 billion of senior unsecured loan, and $1.4
billion in sponsor equity.  The ratings on the company's existing
debt will be withdrawn upon closing of the transaction, with the
exception of approximately $353 million of existing senior notes
due in 2018, 2027, and 2038, which will remain outstanding.


STALLION OILFIELD: S&P Junks Rating on Proposed $250MM Facility
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed the 'B' corporate
credit rating on Stallion Oilfield Services Ltd. and assigned its
'CCC+' unsecured rating to the company's proposed $250 million
senior unsecured bridge facility.  As Stallion has decided to
delay its planned public offering, it will use proceeds from the
new facility to partially fund $360 million in acquisitions that
are expected to close in the second and third quarter of 2007.
The outlook is stable.

Pro forma the new unsecured facility, Houston, Texas-based
Stallion will have about $700 million in total adjusted debt.

"Underpinning the ratings on Stallion are the risks associated
with a highly leveraged financial risk profile, an acquisitive
growth strategy, a short operating track record, and participation
in the historically cyclical North American oilfield services
markets," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jeffrey Morrison.
"Weaknesses are not sufficiently mitigated by a broadening
product/services offering, an expanding geographic footprint, low
annual maintenance capital spending requirements, and an
experienced management team."

The stable outlook is predicated on S&P's view that credit
measures will remain at the lower end of S&P's expectations for
current ratings, despite an aggressive growth profile and
increasing debt leverage over the near term.  In addition, the
outlook incorporates S&P's expectation that Stallion will maintain
sufficient liquidity to meet near term fixed-charge requirements--
barring any sustained weakness in North American oilfield services
markets over the remainder of 2007.


STALLION OILFIELD: Moody's Rates Proposed $250 Mil. Loan at B3
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed the ratings outlook for Stallion
Oilfield Services Ltd. to negative from stable.

Concurrently, Moody's assigned a B3, LGD 4 (66%) rating to
Stallion's proposed $250 million senior unsecured term loan and
affirmed Stallion's B2 corporate family rating and probability of
default rating, the Ba2 ratings on its $75 million senior secured
term loan and $175 million senior secured revolver (LGD 1 (9%),
changed from LGD 2 (17%)), and the B3 rating on Stallion's $300
million senior unsecured notes (LGD 4 (66%), changed from LGD 5
(74%)).

Pete Speer, Moody's Vice-President/Senior Analyst commented,
"Moody's changed the rating outlook to negative in response to
Stallion's aggressive financial strategy of using debt to bridge
the funding of its third quarter acquisitions and defer the equity
offering until later in the year."

When Moody's assigned the B2 CFR and B3 rating to Stallion's
senior unsecured notes, the rating contemplated that the company
would continue its acquisition strategy but with some meaningful
equity funding to maintain a capital structure and leverage
profile consistent with those ratings. Since the January 2007 bond
offering the company has entered into agreements to acquire 6
companies for about $335 million, compared to $207 million of
acquisitions in 2006 and about $321 million from the company's
inception through the bond offering.

This accelerated pace and scale of acquisitions funded solely with
debt has raised the risks to creditors and bondholders to levels
inconsistent with the existing ratings.  At March 31, 2007,
Debt/LTM EBITDA and Debt/Capitalization increased from 3.4x and
66% to 4.1x and 81% pro forma for the acquisitions and additional
debt, respectively.

Proceeds of the proposed term loan will be used to fund
$280 million in acquisitions that are expected to close later this
month or early August.  Stallion filed a registration statement
with the SEC last April to sell up to $400 million in common
stock; about $300 million of which management estimates would
generate proceeds for Stallion with the remainder being sales by
existing shareholders.

The filing was amended in June 2007 and the company believes that
it is in the final stages of the SEC review process.  Stallion's
management and ownership has decided to defer the offering until
later in the year due to considerations regarding market
conditions and pricing.  This uncertainty regarding the ultimate
amount of equity from an IPO offering, if any, creates substantial
negative uncertainty for Stallion's credit ratings.

If Stallion continues to defer the IPO in anticipation of better
market conditions or if sufficient equity is not raised to support
the B2 rating in the near term, then the CFR would likely be
downgraded to B3 with the senior unsecured notes and senior
unsecured term loan downgraded to Caa1.  Conversely, if Stallion
raises sufficient equity for meaningful debt reduction, then
Moody's will consider returning the outlook to stable depending on
our outlook for the sector and the amount and scale of any
additional acquisitions.

Stallion Oilfield Services Ltd., a private company headquartered
in Houston, TX, is a provider of wellsite support, production and
logistic services to E&P companies and drillers throughout the
United States and offshore Gulf of Mexico.


TITAN GLOBAL: May 31 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $8.2 Million
--------------------------------------------------------------
Titan Global Holdings Inc. posted in its balance sheet as of
May 31, 2007, total assets of $54.1 million, total liabilities of
$62.3 million, and total stockholders' deficit of $8.2 million.

The company's May 31 balance sheet also showed strained liquidity
with total current assets of $26 million available to pay total
current liabilities of $33.6 million.

                      Third Quarter Results

The company reported record financial results for its fiscal
quarter ended May 31, 2007, highlighted by the Company's continued
growth in revenues to $30.8 million and net operating income of
$5.7 million, or $.11 earnings per share, with all business
segments reporting continued strong revenue growth.

Additionally, Titan reported revenues of $96.9 million and net
operating income of $303 thousand for the nine months ended
May 31, 2007 reflecting a 17% increase in revenue from the prior
year.  The company also reported $4 million in earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the quarter.

Titan's working capital deficit was reduced from $35.8 million at
the close of the first quarter of 2007 to $7.6 million at the
close of this fiscal quarter.

A full-text copy of the company's third quarter results is
available for free at http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?219a

"Strategically, the quarter's highlights were continued balance
sheet improvement and the continued repositioning of our
Communications Division," said Bryan Chance, president and chief
executive officer of Titan Global Holdings.  "Furthermore, we
received our proceeds from the FET excise tax refund in June 2007
and retired our term debt to Greystone Business Credit in our
Communications division.  Over the last twenty-one months, we have
retired the $11.5M term loan we used in part to purchase our
Communications assets.  As we move into our fourth quarter and
beyond, we will begin to deploy excess cash flows in existing
businesses as well as targeted acquisition opportunities."

                      Communications Division

"Our Communications Division completed a strategic repositioning
of its product offerings and the completion of our first wireless
acquisition in the third fiscal quarter," said Kurt Jensen,
President of Titan's Communications Division.  "At the close of
the third quarter, all of Titan's international long distance
offerings are terminated internally through our Starttalk
subsidiary.  This will provide enhanced customer experiences and
increased shareholder returns as we have infrastructure in place
to develop and distribute new offerings faster and the ability to
better manage margins and cash flows.  Additionally, we closed and
integrated the Ready Mobile acquisition in May and significantly
bolstered our position in the prepaid wireless marketplace."

            Electronics and Homeland Security Division

"The revenue growth the division achieved was a direct result of
the company's new 'rep centric' sales organization which is
increasing our market share, said Curtis Okumura, president of
Titan's Electronics and Homeland Security Division.  "Our profit
margins were compressed as a continued result of increased
material costs.  We continued to demonstrate progress with
increased revenue and continue to gain market share during a time
of transition in the market for printed circuit boards.  We will
improve operational efficiencies to increase profitability in the
printed circuit board companies in our fourth fiscal quarter and
enter fiscal 2008 as a strong electronics and homeland security
division."

TOLL BROTHERS: Moody's Affirms Ba2 Subordinated Note Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the ratings of Toll Brothers,
Inc. and Toll Brothers Finance Corp., including the Baa3 rating on
the existing senior note issues and Ba2 rating on the subordinated
note issue.  The ratings outlook was changed to negative from
stable.

The negative outlook reflects Moody's concern that inventory
levels are unlikely to be reduced in fiscal 2007, even in a
slowing economy, as the growing work in process inventory in the
mid- and high-rise segment more than offsets the decline in single
family work-in-process inventory.  Toll's high-rise projects are
located mostly in the metropolitan New York City market area,
which thus far has been one of the few bright spots in the housing
market during this downturn.

However, because of the capital intensive nature of this segment,
cash flow will likely be sharply negative in fiscal 2007.  Given
the continued build out of the mid- to high-rise towers that are
currently under construction, it may be challenging for Toll
Brothers to begin generating significantly positive cash flow in
fiscal 2008.  Further, although this may well change in the
future, Toll's construction of its initial high rise product in
New York City commenced without any significant presales.

While most of the units to be constructed have subsequently been
sold, if the market for this product had turned sharply negative
in the same way as it has for the rest of the homebuilding sector,
Toll would have been left with an unaccustomed and large inventory
of unsold units.  Even with a policy of 50% to 60% presale of high
rise product, Toll will still be operating with a large number of
unsold units, which represents a significant change, and an
elevated business risk, compared to its model of building single
family homes strictly under contract.  The outlook is also heavily
influenced by the negative industry dynamics and the strong
possibility that some of the company's financial performance
metrics could slip into the Ba ratings category as the downturn
continues.

Toll's ratings are supported by its ability to generate positive
earnings even after taking large impairment charges, making it one
of the top two companies in the industry on this particular
measure; leadership in its luxury homebuilding niche; and
geographic diversification.  The ratings also recognize that the
company was cash flow positive, $184.6 million, for the trailing
twelve month period ended April 30, 2007.

Going forward, the ratings outlook could stabilize if the company
were to generate strongly positive cash flow in fiscal 2008 and
use the cash in part for debt retirement.  The ratings could be
lowered if:

   i. Moody's were to expect negative cash flow generation to
      continue in fiscal 2008;

  ii. Toll were to generate modest quarterly pre-impairment losses
      on a sustained basis or significant pre-impairment losses in
      any one quarter;

iii. Toll were to repurchase a significant amount of its shares;
      or

  iv. the company were to re-lever its balance sheet to above 50%.

Based in Horsham, Pennsylvania, Toll Brothers, Inc. is the
nation's leading builder of luxury homes, serving move-up, empty-
nester, and "active adult" buyers in 21 states and six regions
around the country.  Homebuilding revenues and total net income
for the trailing twelve months ended April 30, 2007 were
$5.6 billion and $439 million, respectively.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 22, 2007,

WACHOVIA BANK: Loan Payoffs Cue S&P to Lift Ratings on 5 Classes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its ratings on five
classes of commercial mortgage pass-through certificates from
Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust's series 2005-WHALE
6.  Concurrently, S&P lowered its rating on class K to 'BB' from
'BBB-'.  At the same time, S&P affirmed its ratings on six classes
from this transaction.

The upgrades and affirmations reflect Standard & Poor's analysis
of the remaining loans in the pool, as well as increased credit
enhancement levels resulting from loan payoffs.

The downgrade of class K reflects Standard & Poor's revised
valuations of the One Oliver Plaza and 230 Peachtree loans.

As of the June 15, 2007, remittance report, the trust collateral
consisted of the senior participation interests in four floating-
rate interest-only mortgage loans indexed to one-month LIBOR.  The
pool balance has declined 84% since issuance to $188 million.

The largest exposure in the pool, 100 Church Street, has a
$70 million senior component (43% of the trust balance), a
subordinate component totaling $10 million, which is raked to
classes CS-1 and CS-2, and a $50 million junior participation held
outside of the trust.  The loan is secured by a 1.1 million-sq.-
ft., 21-story, class B office building in downtown Manhattan.  At
issuance, the borrower planned to reposition the office property
for alternative use by either demolishing the entire building and
developing a luxury residential/hotel/retail complex or by
converting various floors to residential, retail, and office use.

The borrower is no longer pursuing the repositioning strategy and
recently implemented a $16 million renovation project, which
includes upgrading the elevators, lobby, HVAC systems, and the
facade of the building.  The renovation work is scheduled to be
completed in the third quarter of 2008.  The borrower has retained
Cushman & Wakefield to manage and lease the office space and
expects occupancy to stabilize by the end of 2008.  The master
servicer, Wachovia Bank N.A., reported occupancy of 48% as of
May 2007 and a weighted average debt service coverage below 1.0x
as of December 2006.  Due to the potential repositioning, Standard
& Poor's used a land-value approach for its valuation at issuance.
For this review, S&P used a stabilized approach, which yielded a
value that supports the outstanding ratings.

The master servicer placed this loan on the watchlist because of
the loan's upcoming maturity in August 2007.  A one-year extension
option remains, but the loan may not be able to meet its extension
hurdles, which include a DSC test.  Any special servicing fees
that arise from a transfer should be absorbed by the $50 million
junior participation.

The second-largest loan, Grand Resort Apartments, is secured by a
768-unit garden-style apartment complex in Anaheim, California.
The trust balance is $50 million.  A junior participation of
$30 million, of which $24.7 million has been funded to date,
resides outside of the trust.  The master servicer expects the
remaining $5.3 million to be funded by the first quarter of 2008.
Also, the borrower's equity interest in the property secures a
$20 million mezzanine loan.

The property is currently undergoing a $12.1 million renovation
project, which includes repairing the deck and roofs, replacing
soft goods, and upgrading the exterior facade and landscaping.
The borrower has indicated that the exterior work is done and that
the interior improvements, currently 34% completed, are expected
to conclude in the third quarter of 2008.  Wachovia reported a 90%
occupancy rate as of April 2007 and a 1.16x DSC as of March 2007.
Standard & Poor's adjusted net cash flow is comparable to its
level at issuance.  The loan matures in May 2010 with no extension
options.

The third-largest exposure in the pool, One Oliver Plaza, is
secured by a 38-story, class A, 639,200-sq.-ft. office building in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  The whole-loan balance is $52 million,
and the trust balance is $40 million.  In addition, the borrower's
equity interests in the property secure an $8 million mezzanine
loan.  The loan matures in October 2007 and has two one-year
extension options remaining.

The loan is on the watchlist because one of its largest tenants,
originally occupying 28% of the gross leasable area, released 50%
of its leased space in January 2007.  As part of its agreement
with the borrower, the tenant paid a $5.4 million lease
termination fee, which is currently held in escrow with Wachovia,
and extended its lease expiration to December 2017.  A low DSC of
0.58x was reported as of December 2006, primarily due to a decline
in the occupancy to 56% as of July 2007.  Standard & Poor's
valuation has declined since issuance, as the property has not
performed as S&P expected.

The remaining loan in the pool, 230 Peachtree, is secured by a 27-
story, 414,800-sq.-ft., class A office building in Atlanta,
Georgia.  The trust balance is $18 million, and the whole-loan
balance is $28 million.  The master servicer reported a low DSC of
0.81x as of December 2006 due to low occupancy (69% as of March
2007) and rising operating expenses.  As a result, Standard &
Poor's derived NCF has decreased 37% since issuance.  The loan
matured on July 9, 2007, and the borrower exercised one of the
three one-year extension options.

The loan was erroneously placed on the watchlist because of
impending ground lease maturity.  However, Wachovia confirmed that
the ground lease maturity is not for another 60 years.

To date, the trust has experienced no losses.

* S&P Puts Ratings on Various Classes Under Negative CreditWatch
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its ratings on various
classes from 19 cash flow and hybrid collateralized debt
obligation transactions on CreditWatch with negative implications.
The CreditWatch placements follow Standard & Poor's July 12, 2007,
downgrades of a large number of classes from first-lien subprime
residential mortgage-backed securities transactions.  As part of
its surveillance process, Standard & Poor's is reviewing CDOs with
exposure to the downgraded RMBS.

Standard & Poor's has reviewed the results of preliminary cash
flow analyses for these transactions and compared them to the
scenario default rates generated by Standard & Poor's CDO
Evaluator model to determine whether the credit enhancement
afforded by the CDO structures remains adequate to support the
tranches at their current rating levels, given the impact of the
RMBS rating actions on the portfolios.  The CreditWatch placements
on these CDO ratings reflect the increased probability of default
within the overall portfolios and take into consideration the CDO
structures and the rating cushions available to support each
tranche both before and after the RMBS rating actions.

Standard & Poor's will continue to monitor the CDO transactions it
rates to ensure that the ratings assigned reflect the CDO
structures and the performance of the underlying collateral.

* Cooley Godward Opens Office in Boston with 10 New Partners
------------------------------------------------------------
Cooley Godward Kronish LLP opened an office in Boston.  With the
arrival of 10 Boston-based partners from several national firms
with Boston offices, Cooley will establish a significant New
England presence with market-leading expertise in emerging and
public companies, life sciences, venture and private equity fund
representation, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property
and commercial litigation.  The Firm anticipates additional
attorneys joining in the coming weeks.

"Boston is one of the leading technology and life science centers
in the world and, given Cooley's strength and leadership in these
sectors, this is a natural market for the Firm's expansion," said
Stephen C. Neal, chairman and chief executive officer of Cooley.
"A Boston office has long been part of Cooley's strategic plan and
our knowledge of the marketplace gained over years of substantial
activity here enabled us to identify and recruit a group of first-
class attorneys. We could not be in a better position to hit the
ground running."

John Hession and Lester J. Fagen, two well-recognized corporate
attorneys with a combined 50 years of practice in Boston, will
lead the new office.  Hession, who will serve as the partner in
charge, is one of the leading emerging companies and venture
capital attorneys in the country and joins Cooley from the Boston
office of McDermott Will & Emery. Fagen, a seasoned private equity
and venture capital attorney with a diverse corporate and investor
client base, will lead Cooley's business and technology practice
in Boston and its private equity practice firmwide.  He joins
Cooley from the Boston office of Goulston & Storrs.

In addition to Hession and Fagen in the corporate practice, Alfred
L. Browne, III joins from Sullivan & Worcester where he was chair
of the venture capital/emerging companies group; Miguel J. Vega,
also from Sullivan & Worcester, where he was a co-director of the
corporate department; Patrick J. Mitchell, a director at Goulston
& Storrs, who focuses on private equity and venture capital; and
Marc Recht, a partner in the corporate department at McDermott
Will & Emery.

The intellectual property practice includes Thomas C. Meyers, who
was chair of the intellectual property department at Sullivan &
Worcester's Boston office and recently general counsel of Helicos
BioSciences Corporation, and Robert J. Tosti, who was a partner in
Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge's intellectual property practice
group.

The Boston office's litigation group will include Richard S.
Sanders, joining from Sullivan & Worcester, where he was chair of
the technology litigation practice, and Robert B. Lovett, a
partner in the securities and financial litigation group at
Seyfarth Shaw.

Cooley's new Boston team all were at one point in their careers
with Testa, Hurwitz & Thibeault, LLP, Boston's leading technology
and life sciences firm until its dissolution in 2005.  The
partners have a wealth of experience representing companies in
financings, initial public offerings, merger and acquisition
transactions, and major litigations, representing clients in some
of the most significant matters in the region collectively valued
in the multiple billions of dollars.

Commented Hession, "By virtue of its national reputation and
strategic focus on technology and life sciences, Cooley will fill
a gap in the Boston legal market.  To become a part of this great
firm, and to be joining with former colleagues I profoundly admire
both as friends and practitioners, is an incredible opportunity."

"New England is not a 'new' market for Cooley," said Barbara
Kosacz, head of the Firm's life sciences practice.  "We have had
an active presence here for many years through our work with
market-leading life science companies and venture funds, and last
year Cooley was ranked second in the Eastern U.S. for our
representation of venture-backed companies."

The opening of a Boston office marks Cooley's continued expansion
on the East Coast.  Last fall, Cooley merged with premier New York
firm Kronish Lieb Weiner & Hellman, establishing a full-service
office in Manhattan which offers clients substantial capabilities
across critical practice areas including financial transactions,
mergers and acquisitions, high-profile litigation, bankruptcy, tax
and real estate.  Cooley opened an office in Washington, DC in
September 2005 and currently has more than 30 attorneys there,
including leading attorneys in corporate law, government contracts
and intellectual property litigation.  As a result of robust
growth in that market, the Firm will move to expanded office space
this September.

Cooley's Boston office occupies the 46th floor of The Prudential
Tower, located in Boston's Back Bay.

* Proskauer Rose Opens Ninth Branch Office in Brazil

office, the firm's ninth, will provide a platform for Proskauer's

equity offerings, mergers and acquisitions, and bank finance.

The Meetings, Conferences and Seminars column appears in the
Troubled Company Reporter each Wednesday. Submissions via e-mail
to conferences@bankrupt.com are encouraged.

                             *********

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 $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
Wednesday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com/

On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed chapter 11
cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and liabilities
delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts.  The list includes links
to freely downloadable images of these small-dollar petitions in
Acrobat PDF format.

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com.  Go to
http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today.

Monthly Operating Reports are summarized in every Saturday edition
of the TCR.

For copies of court documents filed in the District of Delaware,
please contact Vito at Parcels, Inc., at 302-658-9911.  For
bankruptcy documents filed in cases pending outside the District
of Delaware, contact Ken Troubh at Nationwide Research &
Consulting at 207/791-2852.
