AMERICAN POWER: Reports $1.92 Million Net Loss for Fourth Quarter
-----------------------------------------------------------------
American Power Group Corporation reported a net loss available to
common shareholders of $1.92 million on $873,000 of net sales for
the three months ended Sept. 30, 2015, compared with a net loss
available to common shareholders of $2.10 million on $1.40 million
of net sales for the same period in 2014.

For the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2015, the Company reported a net
loss available to common shareholders of $1.04 million on $2.95
million of net sales compared to a net loss available to common
shareholders of $920,000 on $6.28 million of net sales for the 12
months ended Sept. 30, 2014.

As of Sept. 30, 2015, the Company had $11.1 million in total
assets, $11.3 million in total liabilities, and a $226,000
stockholders' deficit.

Lyle Jensen, American Power Group Corporation's chief executive
officer stated, "Fiscal 2015 ended up being one of the most
challenging years in the evolution of our business model.  Entering
the year we expected to transition from our multi-year investment
phase into the revenue growth and value appreciation phase.  That
did not occur as we, along with the rest of our industry, ran into
the head-winds of the current oil crisis which idled rigs targeted
for conversion and we saw a steady decrease in diesel prices which
tightened up the price spread and delayed alternative fuel
purchasing decisions by many Class 8 fleets."

Mr. Jensen added, "However, what we did accomplish in 2015 was
extremely important and has postured APG for an improved outlook
for 2016 and beyond.  With the strategic and financial support of
several of our preferred investors and Board members, we achieved
EPA dual fuel approvals for thirty-three late-model Volvo, Mack,
Detroit Diesel, and Cummins Class 8 engine families which are some
of the most complex diesel engine technology in the industry. Those
investments lead to APG's first California CARB Dual Fuel EO
Certification which opens up the California market to our diesel
emission reduction technology.  During the year, we also invested
in our international markets which resulted in multiple successful
demonstrations leading to several million dollars of new
quotations.  Finally, in August we acquired process rights to a new
revenue stream where we can capture and process remote and stranded
flared gas from oil production and monetize the gas into natural
gas liquids and eventually process the flared methane into high
quality natural gas for APG's dual fuel systems and dedicated
natural gas engines in general."

ATNA RESOURCES: Provides Update on 2015 Mining Operations
---------------------------------------------------------
Atna Resources Ltd. on Jan. 18 disclosed that the Company sold
approximately 31,470 ounces of gold for the year ended December 31,
2015, at an average gold price of $1,162 per ounce.

The Briggs Mine in Inyo County, California sold 19,526 ounces of
gold.  Mining and crushing operations were discontinued in July
2015, and production operations are now recovering gold from
crushed ore inventory on the leach pads and contained in the
processing plants.  Year-end recoverable gold inventory remaining
on the leach pads and in the plants is estimated at approximately
10,800 ounces to be recovered over the next two years.  Gold
production at Briggs will sequentially decline over time, as gold
ounces are recovered and inventory balances are reduced.

Approximately 49,200 tons ore at an estimated grade of 0.360 ounces
per ton was shipped from the Pinson Underground mine to Newmont's
nearby Twin Creeks metallurgical facility in 2015. Subject to final
settlements, Pinson sold an estimated 12,000 ounces of gold in
2015.  Due to a lack of developed working faces and the working
capital needed for further development, the Company has placed the
Pinson mine on care and maintenance.

On November 18, 2015, Atna and its subsidiaries (together with
Atna, the "Debtors"), filed voluntary petitions for relief under
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado.
Simultaneously with the Chapter 11 filings, the Debtors filed for
ancillary relief in Canada pursuant to the Companies' Creditors
Arrangement Act in the Supreme Court of British Columbia in
Vancouver, Canada.  On December 29, 2015, Atna Resources was
delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange.  Further information
concerning the Chapter 11 restructuring can be found at
www.upshotservices.com/atna

Atna is currently in the process of marketing assets and properties
for sale to meet its obligations to its creditors subject to
approval by the Court.  Maxit Capital LP, of Toronto, Ontario, is
the investment banker assisting Atna in this process.   

Atna Resources Ltd. was incorporated in British Columbia in 1984
and its corporate management office is located in Golden, Colorado.
The Company is involved in all phases of the mining business,
including exploration, preparation of feasibility studies,
permitting, construction, development, operation and reclamation of
mining properties.  The Company is currently operating the Pinson
Underground gold mine near Winnemucca, Nevada, the Briggs mine
located in Inyo County, California, and other development and
exploration-stage properties in Canada and the U.S.

                     About Calmare Therapeutics

Calmare Therapeutics Incorporated, formerly known as Competitive
Technologies, Inc., provides distribution, patent and technology
transfer, sales and licensing services focused on the needs of its
customers and matching those requirements with commercially viable
product or technology solutions.  Sales of the Company's
Calmare(R) pain therapy medical device continue to be the major
source of revenue for the Company.

Calmare reported a net loss of $3.4 million on $1 million of
product sales for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014, compared to a net
loss of $2.6 million on $653,000 of product sales for the year

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $4.31 million in total assets,
$13.2 million in total liabilities and a total shareholders'
deficit of $8.88 million.

Mayer Hoffman McCann CPAs, in New York, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2014, citing that the Company has incurred operating
losses since fiscal year 2006 and has a working capital and
shareholders' deficiency at Dec. 31, 2014.  These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.


CONNEAUT LAKE: Taxing Agencies Get $478K from Insurance Proceeds
----------------------------------------------------------------
This adversary proceeding is a civil action that was removed to the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania from the Court of Common Pleas of Crawford County,
Pennsylvania, and which seeks a declaratory judgment regarding the
relative rights of the Trustees of Conneaut Lake Park, Inc.,
Plaintiff Park Restoration, LLC, and certain tax creditors of the
Debtor as to fire insurance proceeds in the original amount of
$611,000.

Procedurally, the parties seek a final determination of the matter
by way of dueling Motions for Summary Judgment.  The Court
describes the motion practice as "dueling" because the Taxing
Authorities filed their own Motion for Summary Judgment.  In turn,
the Plaintiff filed its Motion for Summary Judgment which received
opposition from both the Debtor and the Taxing Authorities.

Because the Plaintiff's claim to the insurance proceeds rests, in
part, upon a Constitutional challenge to a state statute, the
matter was certified to the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.  The Commonwealth, through its Attorney General,
subsequently filed various response briefs in opposition to the
Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment.

In a Memorandum Opinion dated December 22, 2015, which is available
at http://is.gd/cn1ZEufrom Leagle.com, Chief Judge Jeffery A.
Deller of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western
District of Pennsylvania grants partial summary judgment in favor
of the Plaintiff and grants partial summary judgment in favor of
the Taxing Authorities.  Towards that end, the Court finds that no
genuine issue of material fact exists and that a judgment as a
matter of law is appropriate insofar as: (a) the Taxing Authorities
are entitled to be paid $478,260 of the Insurance Proceeds; and (b)
the Plaintiff is entitled to the remaining Insurance Proceeds that
are held in the registry maintained by the Clerk of the Court.

The case is IN RE: TRUSTEES OF CONNEAUT LAKE PARK, INC.,
Debtor-in-Possession. PARK RESTORATION, LLC, Chapter 11, Plaintiff,
v. SUMMIT TOWNSHIP, a Municipal Corporation; THE TRUSTEES OF
CONNEAUT LAKE PARK, a Charitable Trust; CRAWFORD COUNTY, a
Political Subdivision; the TAX CLAIM BUREAU OF CRAWFORD COUNTY; and
the CONNEAUT SCHOOL DISTRICT, Defendants, Bankruptcy No.
14-11277-JAD, Adversary No. 15-1010-JAD (Bankr. W.D. Pa.).

bankruptcy
petition (Bankr. W.D. Pa. Case No. 14-11277) in Erie,
Pennsylvania,
on Dec. 4, 2014.  The case is assigned to Judge Thomas P. Agresti.

The Debtor tapped George T. Snyder, Esq., at Stonecipher Law Firm,
in Pittsburgh, as counsel.  The Debtor estimated assets and debt
of
$1 million to $10 million.

Trustees of Conneaut Lake Park filed for bankruptcy protection
less
than 20 hours before the Crawford County amusement park was
scheduled to go to sheriff's sale for almost $930,000 in back
taxes
and related fees.


DOVER DOWNS: Receives NYSE Listing Non-Compliance Notice
--------------------------------------------------------
Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc., was notified by the New
York Stock Exchange on January 18, 2016 that the average closing
price of the Company's common stock had fallen below $1.00 per

minimum average share price for continued listing on the NYSE under
the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

"Under NYSE rules, we have six months following receipt of the
notification, subject to possible extension, to regain compliance
with the minimum share price requirement or be subject to
delisting.  We can also regain compliance at any time during the
six-month cure period if our common stock has a closing share price
of at least $1.00 on the last trading day of any calendar month
during the period and also has an average closing share price of at
least $1.00 over the 30-trading day period ending on the last
trading day of that month," the Company said.

"The notice has no immediate impact on the listing of our common
stock, which will continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbol
'DDE' but will be assigned a '.BC' indicator by the NYSE to signify
that we are not currently in compliance with NYSE continued listing
standards.

"We have 10 business days to notify the NYSE of our intent to cure
this deficiency.  We intend to so notify the NYSE on a timely
basis."

FIRST QUANTUM: Fitch Cuts Issuer Default Rating to 'B'
------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded Canada-based First Quantum Minerals
Ltd's (FQM) Issuer Default Rating (IDR) and senior unsecured rating
to 'B' from 'BB-'. The Recovery Rating for its senior unsecured
issues is 'RR4'. Simultaneously all ratings have been placed on
Rating Watch Negative (RWN) pending further news regarding the
company's USD1bn asset sales programme and the outcome of current
covenant negotiations with its banking group.

The downgrade reflects the material deterioration in FQM's credit
metrics caused by a weaker and more volatile commodity price
environment at a time when the company faces large cash outflows --
and consequently negative free cash flow (FCF) -- in respect of its
Cobre Panama project. Fitch believes that the company's current
overall credit profile better corresponds to a 'B' category
rating.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

Weakened Credit Metrics

Fitch now expects FQM's gross leverage (total debt/funds from
operations (FFO)) to peak at around 10.0x in 2016 before declining
to around 7.0x by 2017 due to higher EBITDA derived from recently
completed new projects (the Kansanshi smelter and Sentinel mine).
The sharp increase in leverage compared with our previous
expectations of around 6.0x for 2016 reflects a combination of
factors, including an assumed rebasing of copper prices to around
USD4,800 in 2016, and delays in the ramp-up of the Sentinel mine
and Kansanshi smelter in Zambia.

Debt Reduction Needed

As of end-September 2015, the company's total drawn debt amounted
to USD5.7bn, mainly composed of a USD3bn term loan and revolving
credit facility (RCF; of which USD1.4bn was drawn) and USD3.4bn of
senior unsecured notes. The covenant schedule applicable to the RCF
facility requires a gradual step-down in the net debt/EBITDA ratio
over the period to maturity in 2018. In May 2015 FQM obtained a
covenant amendment to 7.5x until December 2015, then step down to
5.5x for 1H16 and 4.5x for 2H16 and 1H17.

Under the company's revised production numbers and assuming a
USD4,800/t copper price, we expect FQM to comply with its covenant
in 1H16, but to breach it in 2H16 if it fails to reduce debt and/or
negotiate a further amendment to covenant levels in the next few
months. FQM announced a debt reduction programme of USD1bn by 1Q16
through a combination of assets sales and other strategic
initiatives.

Liquidity Dependent on Refinancing

In the medium-term, we project that FQM will face aggregate
negative FCF of around USD4bn and debt service costs of USD1.1bn
over 2016-2018. Potential sources of funds include (i) cash
(USD276m as of September 2015), (ii) USD1.7bn of committed undrawn
facilities (mature in 2019), (iii) USD662m drawdown under a USD1bn
precious metals streaming agreement with Franco-Nevada Corp, (iv)
approximately USD600m from Korea Panama Mining Corp for its share
of development costs for Cobre Panama and (v) planned asset
disposals of around USD1bn.

The availability of existing undrawn facilities remains subject to
compliance or successful renegotiation of covenants. We
additionally estimate that the completion of the company's current
project pipeline will require it to procure USD2bn of additional
funds by 2018.

Large Zambian Operational Exposure

Assets in Zambia contributed over 45% of group revenues and EBITDA
in 2015 and the share is expected to increase in the short-term as
the Kansanshi smelter and Sentinel mine reach full output. In our
opinion, the business environment for miners operating in Zambia
has become increasingly uncertain, particularly with respect to
dealings with the government and the enactment of new legislation
for the mining sector. The failed plan in 2015 to introduce a
materially higher rate of mining royalties highlights this risk.

In 2015, Fitch revised the Outlook on Zambia's Long-term foreign
IDR of 'B' to Stable from Positive. This reflected weak policy
coherence and credibility from the government as well as
expectations of moderating growth (expected to have slowed to 4.9%
in 2015 from 6% in 2014) due to weaker copper prices and power
supply deficit.

Large Project Pipeline

FQM has been involved in a large project pipeline including the
construction of a new Kansanshi copper smelter and the Sentinel
mine in Zambia, as well as the Cobre Panama copper mine in Panama.
Management has taken steps to reduce 2016 capex to around $US 1.2
billion, largely through the deferral of USD600m of capex at Cobre
Panama. However, we still expect capex to average USD1.7n in 2017
and 2018, resulting in negative FCF throughout the period. Absolute
debt is likely to peak at over U$S 7.5 billion in 2017 (excluding
$US 1 billion debt reduction in 2016), materially above our
previous expectations.

The new copper smelter was originally planned to start ramp-up in
2H14 but was delayed to the summer 2015 by logistical issues. The
delay resulted in the stockpiling of copper concentrate at the
Kansanshi smelter because of a lack of alternate smelting capacity.
The Sentinel mine was also impacted by the slower smelter ramp-up,
as well as by delays in the construction of power supply.
Construction at Cobre Panama is now around 70%-complete. We do not
expect future progress to be impacted by the capex reductions in
2016 (which result from the purchase timing for large capital
items), but we will continue to monitor this aspect of the
project.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

-- Fitch's copper price assumptions: USD4,800/t in 2016,
    $US 5,200/t in 2017, USD6,000/t in the long-term
-- Volumes as per management guidance
-- Capex of approximately $US 1.4 billion in 2015 and $US 1.2
    billion in 2016, increasing to $USD 1.6 billion in 2017 and
    $US 1.9 billion in 2018
-- Additional cash inflows from variously ENRC promissory note,
    Franco-Nevada streaming facility and KPMC equity contribution
    received as currently planned

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Positive: Future developments that may individually or collectively
lead to positive rating action (removal of RWN) include:

-- Successful completion of planned asset sales
-- Successful renegotiation of existing covenant levels

Negative: Future developments that may individually or collectively
lead to negative rating action include:

-- Failure to agree new covenant levels with its banking group  
    and/or to agree new financing arrangements
-- FFO gross leverage not trending towards 5.0x by 2018
-- Significant problems or delays at key development projects
    delaying the expected improvement in EBITDA generation and
    improvement in credit metrics
-- Measures taken by the Zambian government materially adversely
    affecting cash flow generation or the operating environment.



FOOTHILL/EASTERN TRANSPORTATION: Moody's Affirms Ba1 Bonds Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirms the Ba1 on Foothill/Eastern
Transportation Corridor Agency senior and junior toll road revenue
bonds with a stable outlook. The Ba1 acknowledges recent stronger
actual than forecasted traffic, but continues to reflect a high
debt load, escalating debt service and deferred principal repayment
by 13 years with a 2013 restructuring that smoothed the debt
service profile to improve near term debt service coverage ratios
(DSCRs). While annual debt service grows at a slower annual rate
post restructuring, it remains back loaded over a 40-year period
and repayment depends on sustained annual traffic and/or revenue
growth supported by annual inflationary toll rate increases. While
recent growth and annual toll rote increases is expected to yield
better than previously forecasted debt service coverage ratios
(DSCRs),a longer track record of traffic recovery and revenue
performance would be informative with respect to longer term
trajectories before considering any upward rating revision.

Moody's notes as credit negatives that there is no principal
repayment until 2020 and that the majority of principal (72%) does
not begin to amortize until 2042. Proactive, nearly annual
increases in toll rates (the board has a demonstrated history of
raising tolls with six increases in the last seven years); strong
liquidity; timely financial reporting; expected continued economic
recovery and development in the affluent service area supports the
rating and stable outlook.

Rating Outlook

The stable rating outlook is based on recent stronger than
forecasted traffic and revenue growth; maintenance of strong levels
of unrestricted liquidity and Moody's  expectation that traffic and
revenue will continue to grow to keep pace with escalating annual
debt service due to the strength of the economic recovery in Orange
County and expected sustained low gas prices.

Factors that Could Lead to an Upgrade

-- Accelerated development in the toll road corridor that
    generates sustained higher than forecasted growth in
    traffic and revenues

-- More rapid amortization of outstanding debt

-- Implementation of automatic annual rate increases

Factors that Could Lead to a Downgrade

-- Lower than forecasted traffic and revenue due
    to slower than expected growth

-- Failure to implement rate increases as needed to
    provide at minimum the covenanted 1.3 times DSCR for
    senior and 1.15 times for all bonds

-- Substantial additional borrowing for and construction
    of the Foothill-South extension not supported by
    additional traffic and revenue from those projects

Legal Security

The bonds are secured by net toll road revenues and other revenues
(mainly account maintenance fees, violation fees and fines,
investment income and DIFs collected above $5 million annually, and
a cash funded debt service reserve fund (DSRF) funded at the lesser
of the standard three-prong test for both the senior and junior
lien bonds. Security also includes a Use and Occupancy Fund and a
Revenue Guarantee Account.

Use of Proceeds

Not applicable.

Obligor Profile

The Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor consists of 36 miles
of high speed, electronically tolled four-to-six lane roads. The
two toll roads that make up the corridor were partially opened in
1995 and fully completed in February 1999. In 1999 the agency
restructured its debt and extended principal maturities by five
years to improve the DSCR due to slower than projected traffic and
revenue ramp-up.

In November 2005, the agency entered into a mitigation and loan
agreement with the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Agency
(SJHTCA) to offset the forecasted toll revenue diversion impact of
the Foothill South extension to complete the 241 toll road and the
connection to I-5. To-date the agency has made $120 million in
mitigation payments to SJHTCA. With the 2014 debt restructuring for
SJHTCA, the mitigation agreement has been terminated, and SJHTCA
will repay the mitigation payments to F/ETCA beginning in 2025, if
surplus funds are available. The mitigation agreement would have
allowed F/ETCA to provide up to $1.04 billion in loans to help
SJHTCA meet its rate covenant. With the termination of this
agreement the flow of fund was closed and Moody's no longer notch
down for this factor in our methodology scorecard.



FREEDOM COMMUNICATIONS: PBGC Stipulation Denied as Moot
-------------------------------------------------------
Freedom Communications, Inc., and its affiliated debtors sought and
was denied by Judge Mark S. Wallace of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Central District of California, Santa Ana Division approval
of their stipulation with the Prepetition Loan Parties and Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"), in connection with the
Debtors' use of cash collateral.  The Debtors' Motion was denied as
it was moot.

The Prepetition Loan Parties consist of the Prepetition Agent
Silver Point Finance, LLC and Prepetition Lenders SPCP Group, LLC
and SPCP Group VI, LLC.

The Debtors related that they were authorized to use the Cash
Collateral of the Prepetition Loan Parties and the PBGC by the
Court, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Court's
Interim Order.  The Debtors further related that the Interim Order
did not contain the Debtors' stipulations regarding the claims and
interests of the Prepetition Loan Parties and PBGC, that had been
set forth in the DIP and Cash Collateral Motion, the Declaration of
Chris D. Dahl ("First Day Declaration"), and the proposed interim
order, as the Court indicated such stipulations are more
appropriately contained in the form of a stipulation, not in the
Court's Interim Order approving interim use of Cash Collateral.

The Stipulation contains, among others, the following material
terms:

     (1) The Debtors' Obligations to the Prepetition Loan Parties.
The Debtors stipulate to factual information and background
relating to their obligations to the Prepetition Loan Parties in
connection with the Prepetition Credit Agreement, including the
collateral supporting such obligations, and the amount, priority
and allowability of the obligations.

     (2) The Debtors' Obligations to the PBGC.  The Debtors
stipulate to factual information and background relating to their
obligations to the PBGC in connection with the Pension Plan,
including the collateral supporting such obligations, and the
amount, priority and allowability of the obligations.

     (3) Debtor Challenges.  The Debtors waive their rights to
challenge the obligations to, and liens of the Prepetition Loan
Parties and the PBGC.

     (4) Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing.  The
Debtors agree not to take any action to impair the collateral of
the Prepetition Loan Parties or the Pension Plan, not to seek to
alter the expenditure of Cash Collateral different from that
contained in the Budget without consent, and not to invoke
Bankruptcy Code sections 506(c) and/or 552 with respect to
marshalling, surcharge or similar rights.

     (5) Restrictions on Investigations; Funding. Until entry of
the Final Order, the Debtors agree not to use any of the Cash
Collateral to challenge the Prepetition Loan Parties' or the
Pension Plan's claims or collateral.

                   Tribune, LA Times Objections

Tribune Publishing Company and Los Angeles Times Communications LLC
("Objectors") asserted that entry into the Stipulation is not the
exercise of the Debtors' sound business judgment.  The Objectors
further asserted that the Debtors' entry into the Stipulation
reflects and abdication of their fiduciary duties to seek the most
advantageous financing available to their estates and to maximize
the value of their estates for the benefit of their creditors.  The
Objectors contended that the Stipulation prevents the Debtors from,
among other things:

    (i) seeking alternative and better financing,

   (ii) seeking to surcharge the Prepetition Loan Parties and the
PBGC to maintain the value of the Debtors' estates through a sale
process, and

  (iii) challenging the Prepetition Loan Parties' alleged right to
a "make-whole" premium.

The Objectors told the Court that the requested relief is
inappropriate and premature.  They further told the Court that the
Stipulation should not bind the Debtors until the entry of the
final order on the proposed DIP Facility and it should not bind the
Debtors' estates or the Committee for Unsecured Creditors until the
expiration of the challenge period.

GATEWAY CASINOS: DBRS Confirms 'B(high)' Issuer Rating
------------------------------------------------------
DBRS Limited (DBRS) confirmed both the Issuer Rating and Senior
Secured 2nd-Lien Notes rating of Gateway Casinos & Entertainment
Limited (Gateway or the Company) at B (high) with Stable trends.
The Senior Secured 2nd-Lien Notes have a recovery rating of RR4.
The confirmation considers Gateway’s steadily improving operating
performance and the mainly debt-financed acquisition of Playtime
Gaming Inc. (Playtime).

In the first nine months of 2015 (9M 2015), Gateway’s revenues
increased in the low-double digits, driven by a full-year
contribution of the expanded Grand Villa casino and the increased
restaurant offerings in many of its locations. EBITDA margins
remained stable and high relative to peers as the benefit of
operating leverage offset the impact of increased marketing and
promotion. As a result, EBITDA increased by approximately 12% year
over year in 9M 2015. Cash flow from operations continued to track
operating income and expansionary capital expenditures increased in
the last year, mainly to fund the expansion/renovation of the
Kamloops casino. As such, Gateway’s free cash flow before changes
in working capital increased modestly to the $20 million range for
the last 12 months ended Q3 2015.

In Q4 2015, Gateway closed the acquisition of Playtime, adding six
new properties in four new markets in British Columbia. While the
purchase price was not disclosed, the acquisition was partially
financed by an additional $50 million of borrowings under Term Loan
A and by increasing the Company’s revolving credit facility by
$10 million. Credit metrics improved marginally over the last year
as the benefit of increased earnings outweighed the increased debt
level resulting from the Playtime acquisition. DBRS estimates that
pro forma lease-adjusted debt-to-EBITDAR and lease-adjusted EBITDAR
coverage were 5.7 times (x) and 2.4x, respectively, compared with
6.0x and 2.3x, respectively, at the end of 2014.

DBRS believes that Gateway’s earnings profile will strengthen
over the near to medium term as investments continue to increase
customer traffic and improve geographic diversification. DBRS
believes that gaming revenue will grow in the low-double digits
over the next two years, driven by a full-year contribution of the
relocated and expanded Kamloops casino, the relocation and
expansion of the Baccarat and the Palace casinos in Edmonton as
well as the contribution of Playtime. The Edmonton casinos will
move to much higher-traffic locations in the new Ice District and
in the West Edmonton Mall and could be opened in Q3 2016 and Q4
2016, respectively. The softened economic conditions in Alberta
could have a minor impact on customer traffic and revenue growth.
As a result, DBRS expects EBITDA to grow in the double digits in
both 2016 and 2017. DBRS expects Gateway’s financial profile to
improve over the medium term as the Company increases its
cash-generating capacity and makes its scheduled debt repayments.
Cash flow from operations is expected to grow in the double digits,
increasing to approximately $85 million in 2016.

DBRS expects Gateway to invest $85 million in 2016, mainly to fund
the Edmonton casinos’ relocations and expansions. Gateway has
approximately $22 million of scheduled amortization payments to be
made in 2016. In order to fund the cash flow deficit, DBRS believes
that the Company will divest some of its land holdings. While DBRS
expects the Company to meet its liquidity requirements in 2016,
should Gateway have the need to conserve capital, it could slow
down spending at the Palace casino relocation. DBRS expects Gateway
to return to generating positive free cash flow in 2017. The growth
in operating income combined with the scheduled debt repayment
should result in a material improvement to key credit metrics
(i.e., lease-adjusted debt-to-EBITDAR comfortably below 5.5x by
2016). A positive rating action could ensue if lease-adjusted
debt-to-EBITDAR nears 5.0x. That said, if lease-adjusted
debt-to-EBITDAR increases to more than 6.5x because of weakening
operating performance and/or debt-financed growth, the ratings
could be pressured.

GREENFIELD SPECIALTY: S&P Affirms 'BB-' CCR, Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it affirmed its 'BB-'
long-term corporate credit rating on Toronto-based GreenField
Specialty Alcohols Inc.  The outlook is stable.

Subsequently, S&P withdrew its corporate credit rating on
GreenField at the company's request.  At the same time, S&P
withdrew its issue-level and recovery ratings on GreenField's
senior secured term loan, which was recently repaid.

S&P's corporate credit rating and outlook at the time of the
withdrawal reflect its expectation that the company will generally
maintain adjusted debt-to-EBITDA below 2x, with the potential for
it to weaken to the 3x-4x range under stressed market conditions
given the inherent volatility in the fuel ethanol market.



HONG KONG ENTERTAINMENT: Wants $5-Mil. Postpetition Financing
-------------------------------------------------------------
Hong Kong Entertainment (Overseas) Investment, Ltd., asks the U.S.
District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands, Bankruptcy
Division, for authorization to obtain postpetition financing.

Timothy H. Bellas, Esq., at the Law Office of Timothy H. Bellas,
LLC, in Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, relates that the Debtor
operates a hotel and casino on the Island of Tinian, Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands.  Mr. Bellas further relates that
the Debtor's casino operation has been closed for several months
and there is limited cash flow produced by the hotel when the
casino is not operational.

Mr. Bellas tells the Court that the Debtor needs sufficient bridge
financing to settle certain prepetition obligations, such as taxes
and wages of employees in order to reopen the casino portion of its
business.  

The Debtor is seeking authorization from the Court to obtain a
postpetition loan in the maximum amount of $5,000,000 from Lender
CHEN CHIEN YEH, on an interim basis, pending a final hearing on the
Debtor's Motion.

The Loan Agreement contains these relevant terms, among others:

   (a) The Loan may be drawdown during a period of 12 months from
the date of the Agreement, more than once by the Borrower following
receipt by the Lender of an irrevocable and duly completed Request
in respect of the Drawdown not later than 11:00 a.m., one business
day immediately preceding the proposed Drawdown Date.

   (b) The Borrower may prepay amounts outstanding under the
Agreement in whole or in part on any Interest Settlement Date,
provided that the Lender has received from the Borrower not less
than five business days' notice in writing of its intention to make
such prepayment.

   (c) The Borrower will pay interest on outstanding amount of the
Loan on each Interest Settlement Date and the rate of interest per
month on the Drawdown is 0.833% per month.

   (d) If the Borrower fails to pay any sum payable under the
Agreement when due, the Borrower will pay interest on such sum from
the due date to the date of actual payment, at the rate per month
determined by the Lender to be 0.833%, 10% per annum on a daily
basis, based on 360 days per calendar year and payable on demand.

Mr. Bellas believes that the terms offered by the Lender are
substantially more favorable than what the Debtor could expect from
other lenders, since the Lender is not seeking a security interest
or lien on Debtor's assets in favor of the Lender.  Mr. Bellas
contends that the Debtor needs this funding to pay liabilities and
to fund its working capital needs in order to allow it to reopen
the casino portion of the business.  He further contends that
without the postpetition financing requested, the Debtor has
insufficient cash liquidity to achieve its reorganization under
Chapter 11.

JHK INVESTMENTS: Court Okayed Cash Use in December
--------------------------------------------------
Judge Alan H. W. Shiff of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Connecticut, Bridgeport Division, authorized JHK
Investment LLC's preliminary use of cash collateral, from Dec. 1,
2015 through Dec. 31, 2015, and provided adequate protection.
Bay City Capital Fund V, L.P., and Bay City Capital Fund V Co.
Investment Fund L.P., asserts first priority secured claim against
all of JHK's assets, including JHK's cash and accounts receivable.
JHK alleges that it is essential to JHK's business and operations,
and the preservation of the value of its assets, that it obtain a
preliminary order authorizing it to use cash receipts to pay
business expenses necessary to avoid irreparable harm to the
estate.

Judge Shiff authorized JHK to use cash collateral, including
proceeds from JHK's accounts receivable, which cash collateral may
be subject to the liens of Bay City.  JHK is permitted to use any
cash collateral in accordance with a Budget, in the amount of
$17,912, and with a variance of 10% permitted for the period from
Dec. 1, 2015 through Dec. 31, 2015.

In exchange for the preliminary use of cash collateral by JHK, and
as adequate protection for Bay City's interests therein, Judge
Shiff granted Bay City replacement and/or substitute liens in all
postpetition assets of JHK and proceeds thereof, excluding any
bankruptcy avoidance causes of action, and such replacement liens
shall have the same validity, extent and priority that Bay City
possessed as to said liens on the Petition Date.  In addition, JHK
will make certain adequate protection payments on behalf of Bay
City in the month of December.  The adequate protection payments
will be to support/protect collateral of Bay City which is not
property of the JHK estate, but is collateral for the JHK
obligation to Bay City.

                      About JHK Investments

JHK Investments, LLC, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D. Conn.
Case No. 12-51608) in Bridgeport, Conn., on Aug. 29, 2012,
estimating under $100 million in assets and more than $10 million
in liabilities.  Bankruptcy Judge Alan H. Shiff presides over the
case.  James Berman, Esq., Lawrence S. Grossman, Esq., Craig I.
Lifland, Esq., and Aaron Romney, Esq., at Zeisler & Zeisler, P.C.,
represent the Debtor.

Westport, Connecticut-based JHK is an investment company founded
by the former senior management team of United States Surgical
Corporation.  Founded by Leon C. Hirsch in 1963, USSC became a
global medical device manufacturer with sales exceeding
$1.2 billion and employing $4,000 Connecticut residents.  The
Debtor disclosed $38,690,639 in assets and $32,127,278 in
liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

Following the success of USSC, Mr. Hirsch and two other senior
USSC executives created JHK in order to produce and develop new
markets and penetrate established markets throughout the world for
high-tech medical devices.  JHK owns equity in several start-up
medical subsidiaries.  The start-ups include Interventional
Therapies, LLC, Auditory Licensing Company, LLC, Biowave
Corporation, Gorham Enterprises, LLC, and American Bicycle Group,
LLC.

Bay City claims to be owed $31 million for funding provided to the
Debtor since January 2011.  The principals at JHK -- Mr. Hirsch,
Turi Josefsen, and Robert A. Knarr -- guaranteed JHK's
obligations, pledged the property in Wilton, Connecticut to secure
obligations under the guaranty, and pledged all equity interests
of JHK.

In March 2012, Eleuthera, in its capacity as administrative agent
for Bay City, declared an event of default as a result of the
passage of the maturity date and the failure to pay the entire
amount outstanding.  On Aug. 28, 2012, Bay City and Eleuthera
purported to exercise the pledge agreements insofar as they
purported to register the Principals' interest in JHK in the name
of Eleuthera, as nominee for Bay City, and purported to reserve
their right to exercise voting rights in JHK.

MGM RESORTS: Amends Bylaws to Include Proxy Access Process
----------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of MGM Resorts International approved and
adopted amendments to the Company's Bylaws, effective as of
Jan. 13, 2016, to implement "proxy access," a means for the
Company's stockholders to include stockholder-nominated director
candidates in the Company's proxy materials for annual meetings of
stockholders.  The Amended and Restated Bylaws include a new
Section 12(b) of Article I, which sets forth the proxy access
process.

Pursuant to Section 12(b)(2) of Article I of the Amended and
Restated Bylaws, proxy access will first be available to
stockholders for the Company's 2016 annual meeting of stockholders
for director nominees submitted by stockholders through the proxy
access process no earlier than Jan. 15, 2016, and no later than
Feb. 15, 2016, subject to the further requirements set forth in
Section 12(b) of Article I of the Amended and Restated Bylaws.

Section 12(b) of Article I of the Amended and Restated Bylaws
generally permits a stockholder, or group of not more than 20
stockholders, meeting specified eligibility requirements, to
include up to two director nominees or, if greater than two, 20% of
the number of directors in office as of the last day a notice for
nomination may be timely received in the Company's proxy materials
for annual meetings of its stockholders.  In order to be eligible
to use the proxy access process, an eligible stockholder must,
among other requirements:

   * have owned 3% or more of the Company's outstanding common   
     stock continuously for at least three years;

   * represent that such stock was acquired in the ordinary course

     of business and not with the intent to change or influence
     control at the Company and that such eligible stockholder
     does not presently have such intent; and

   * provide to the Company a notice including required
     information and requesting the inclusion of stockholder
     nominees in the Company's proxy materials:

       -- for the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders, not earlier

          than Jan. 15, 2016, and not later than Feb. 15, 2016,
          and

       -- for annual meetings of stockholders held in 2017 and
          later, not less than 120 days nor more than 150 days
          prior to the anniversary of the date of the proxy
          statement for the prior year's annual meeting of
          stockholders.

Additionally, stockholder nominees must be independent and meet
specified criteria and stockholders will not be entitled to utilize
the proxy access process for an annual meeting of stockholders if
the Company receives notice through its advance notice bylaw
provision set forth in Section 12(a) of the Amended and Restated
Bylaws that a stockholder intends to nominate a director at such
meeting.  An eligible stockholder may also include a written
statement of 500 words or less in support of the candidacy of the
proposed stockholder nominees.  Use of the proxy access process to
submit stockholder nominees is subject to additional eligibility,
procedural and disclosure requirements set forth in Section 12 of
the Amended and Restated Bylaws.

Certain revisions have also been made to the advance notice
provisions in Section 12(a) of Article I of the Amended and
Restated Bylaws relating to requirements for stockholder-nominated
director candidates for purposes of consistency with the proxy
access process and to include a requirement that the candidate be
eligible to be qualified by applicable gaming and regulatory
authorities.  The Amended and Restated Bylaws also reflect other
technical and administrative changes.

2016, is available at http://is.gd/X67G4B

MGM Resorts reported a net loss attributable to the Company of

Company of $1.76 billion in 2012.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $27.1 billion in total assets,

noncontrolling interest and $9.1 billion in total stockholders'
equity.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

The Company stated in its 2013 Annual Report, "The agreements
governing our senior secured credit facility and other senior
indebtedness contain restrictions and limitations that could
significantly affect our ability to operate our business, as well
as significantly affect our liquidity, and therefore could
adversely affect our results of operations.  Covenants governing
our senior secured credit facility and certain of our debt
securities restrict, among other things, our ability to:

   * pay dividends or distributions, repurchase or issue equity,
     prepay certain debt or make certain investments;

   * incur additional debt;

   * incur liens on assets;

   * sell assets or consolidate with another company or sell all
     or substantially all assets;

   * enter into transactions with affiliates;

   * allow certain subsidiaries to transfer assets; and

   * enter into sale and lease-back transactions.

Our ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by
events beyond our control.  The breach of any such covenants or
obligations not otherwise waived or cured could result in a
default under the applicable debt obligations and could trigger
acceleration of those obligations, which in turn could trigger
cross defaults under other agreements governing our long-term
indebtedness.  Any default under our senior secured credit
facility or the indentures governing our other debt could
adversely affect our growth, our financial condition, our results
of operations and our ability to make payments on our debt, and
could force us to seek protection under the bankruptcy laws."

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 14, 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services raised its corporate credit rating on MGM Resorts
International to 'B-' from 'CCC+'.   In March 2012, S&P revised
the outlook to positive from stable.

"The revision of our rating outlook to positive reflects strong
performance in 2011 and our expectation that MGM will continue to
benefit from the improving performance trends on the Las Vegas
Strip," S&P said.

In March 2012, Moody's Investors Service affirmed its B2 corporate
family rating and probability of default rating.  The affirmation
of MGM's B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects Moody's view that
positive lodging trends in Las Vegas will continue through 2012
which will help improve MGM's leverage and coverage metrics,
albeit modestly. Additionally, the company's declaration of a $400
million dividend ($204 million to MGM) from its 51% owned Macau
joint venture due to be paid shortly will also improve the
company's liquidity profile. The ratings also consider MGM's
recent bank amendment that resulted in about 50% of its
$3.5 billion senior credit facility being extended one year from
2014 to 2015.

As reported by the TCR on Sept. 29, 2014, Fitch Ratings had
upgraded MGM Resorts International's (MGM) and MGM China Holdings
Ltd's (MGM China) IDRs to 'B+' from 'B' and 'BB' from 'BB-',
respectively.  Fitch's upgrade of MGM's IDR to 'B+' and the
Positive Outlook reflect the company's strong performance on the
Las Vegas Strip and in Macau as well as Fitch's longer-term
positive outlooks for these markets.

       defined in the Agreements, with a corresponding increase in
       Ms. Deutsch's health care continuation payment;

  (iv) provide that the named executives will be entitled to a
       pro-rata annual discretionary bonus for the year of
       termination upon a severance-entitling termination;

   (v) provide for (x) accelerated vesting of all unvested equity
       granted to Mr. Fluhr and Ms. Deutsch prior to the date of
       the Agreements, and, solely with respect to Mr. Fluhr, any
       restricted stock units granted to him as part of his annual
       bonus upon a severance-entitling termination, and (y) pro-
       rata vesting of all other outstanding equity awards upon a
       severance-entitling termination or a termination of the
       executive's employment due to death or disability (as
       defined in the Agreements) (except in the case of a
       severance-entitling termination within 12 months of a
       change of control, upon which all unvested equity
       outstanding at the time of the change in control will vest
       upon termination in accordance with the Company's equity
       plan);

  (vi) provide that the named executives will be entitled to six
       months of salary continuation payments upon a termination

       non-competition period.

PACIFIC EXPLORATION: E&G Commences Tender Offers for Restructuring
------------------------------------------------------------------
EIG Pacific Holdings Ltd. (the "Offeror"), a Cayman Islands limited
company and subsidiary of Harbour Energy Ltd. ("Harbour Energy"),
on Jan. 13 disclosed that it has commenced tender offers and
proposed to sponsor a restructuring of Pacific Exploration and
Production Corp (TSX: PRE) ("Pacific E&P").  Harbour Energy,
managed by EIG Global Energy Partners ("EIG"), believes that
Pacific E&P faces significant near-term insolvency concerns and
requires a large infusion of new capital in order to restructure
its balance sheet, avoid value-destructive asset-level
reorganizations or distressed sales, and degradation of Pacific
E&P's assets through under-investment and deferred maintenance.  As
of September 30, 2015, Pacific E&P had approximately $5.4 billion
of debt outstanding, including $4.10 billion aggregate principal
amount of senior bonds that are trading at levels equivalent to
approximately thirteen cents on the dollar as of January 13, 2016,
indicating that no value remains in its equity.  Harbour Energy and
EIG are committed to investing in Pacific E&P to ensure that its
operations remain intact, partnerships are maintained and, upon
restructuring, Pacific E&P is once again positioned for operational
excellence and growth.

R. Blair Thomas, CEO of EIG and Co-Chairman of Harbour Energy's
Board of Directors, said, "We believe Pacific E&P is on the verge
of insolvency and out of other options.  We have an appreciation
for the company and its operations, partners and stakeholders and
are committed to shepherding the company through an expeditious
reorganization that will permit it to continue operating, remain
intact and thrive once again.  We are offering to inject
substantial capital by acquiring the senior notes of the company
and sponsoring an overall reorganization of Pacific E&P.  We hope
to work with the Board and management to ensure continuity, job
preservation and an efficient restructuring process.  EIG, through
Harbour Energy, is uniquely positioned to support Pacific E&P in
making the necessary financial and operational decisions to restore
Pacific E&P's credit quality and allow the company to get back to
the business of growth."

As part of this process, Harbour Energy has commenced tender offers
to purchase for cash, subject to certain terms and conditions, any
and all of the outstanding senior notes of Pacific E&P, consisting
of approximately $4.10 billion aggregate principal amount of (i)
5.375% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "2019 Notes"), (ii) 7.250% Senior
Notes due 2021 (the "2021 Notes"), (iii) 5.125% Senior Notes due
2023 (the "2023 Notes") and (iv) 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 (the
"2025 Notes" and, together with the 2019 Notes, the 2021 Notes and
the 2023 Notes, the "Notes").  The offer to purchase each series of
Notes is referred to as a "Tender Offer" and collectively as the
"Tender Offers."

The Tender Offers are scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern
Standard Time, on February 10, 2016 (unless extended or earlier

of Transmittal dated January 13, 2016 and a related Power of

Offer, as it may be extended, the "Early Tender Date") and accepted

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers, each
Holder who validly tenders and does not subsequently validly

including, the last interest payment date with respect to those
Notes to, but not including, the earliest of (i) the applicable
Settlement Date, (ii) the date on which Issuer Reorganization
Proceedings (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) are commenced or
(iii) February 19, 2016, as applicable.

The obligation of the Offeror to accept for purchase and to pay
either the applicable Total Consideration or applicable Tender
Offer Consideration pursuant to the Tender Offers is conditioned
upon, among other things, (i) the receipt by the Offeror of valid
tenders (that are not withdrawn) of a minimum of (a) 80.0%
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes in the

PACIFIC EXPLORATION: S&P Cuts CCR to CC, Off CreditWatch Negative
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its long-term
corporate credit and issue-level ratings on Pacific Exploration and
Production Corp (Pacific) to 'CC' from 'CCC+'.  S&P also removed
the rating from CreditWatch with negative implications. The outlook
is negative.

On Jan. 14, 2016, Pacific announced that it has elected to utilize
the 30 day grace period rather than make the interest payments due
on Jan. 19, 2016 and Jan. 26, 2016 of about $65 million.  Although
the company is still current on those obligations, S&P expects
default to be a virtual certainty.

Over the past 12 months, the sharp decline in oil prices has
dramatically weakened Pacific's financial risk profile.  More
importantly, S&P considers Pacific's liquidity position "weak".
Although the company's balance sheet showed about $500 million in
cash as of Sept. 30, 2015, S&P projects that the issuer's free
operating cash flow (FOCF) generation will not be sufficient to
meet its next major debt maturity, $1 billion due in 2017.

The negative outlook indicates that S&P will likely lower the
corporate credit rating to 'D' on Jan. 19, 2016, as S&P believes
that the default will be a general default and that the obligor
will fail to pay all or substantially all of its obligations as
they come due.



PARAGON OFFSHORE: Defers Interest Payment on $15.4M 2022 Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Paragon Offshore plc disclosed that it has elected to defer an
interest payment of approximately $15.4 million due on Jan. 15 on
its 6.75% senior unsecured notes maturing July 2022.  Under the
terms of the indenture governing the 2022 Notes, the company has a
30-day grace period after the interest payment date before an event
of default occurs.  Paragon believes it is in the best interests of
all stakeholders, including equity holders, to use the grace period
to continue to engage in discussions with its secured and unsecured
debtholders related to alternatives to improve Paragon's long-term
capital structure.

There is no assurance that the discussions with Paragon's
debtholders will result in an agreement before the end of the grace
period.  Paragon can elect to make the interest payment at any time
during the grace period.  However, if Paragon decides not to make
the interest payment by the end of the grace period, such failure
would result in the rights of the requisite holders of certain of
its indebtedness, including the 2022 Notes and revolving credit
facility, to accelerate the repayment of the principal amounts due
thereunder, which acceleration would result in a cross-default
under Paragon's term loan facility.

Randall D. Stilley, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Paragon, said, "Paragon has made the strategic choice to defer this
interest payment as constructive dialogue with debtholders
continues.  We believe we are making progress in achieving our
objective to improve the long-term capital structure of the
company. Paragon's substantial cash position at December 31, 2015,
more than $750 million, provides us with flexibility as we
negotiate.  Furthermore, it allows us to continue to meet all of
our obligations to suppliers, employees, and others as we deliver
safe, reliable, and effective operations to our customers in the
normal course of business."

PARAGON OFFSHORE: S&P Lowers Corporate Credit Rating to 'CC'
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on offshore drilling company Paragon Offshore PLC to 'CC'
from 'CCC-' and the issue-level ratings on the company's term loan
to 'CCC-' from 'CCC'.  The recovery rating on the company's secured
debt remains '2', indicating S&P's estimate of substantial (70% to
90%, higher end of the range) recovery in the event of a payment
default.  The ratings on the company's unsecured debt remain 'C',
with a '6' recovery rating, indicating negligible (0%-10%) recovery
in the event of a default.  

"The 'CC' rating reflects Paragon's announcement that it has missed
its interest payment on its 6.75% senior notes due 2022, and our
belief that the company will either enter into default when the
30-day grace period ends, or negotiate a restructuring with its
creditors before the grace period expires," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Michael Tsai.  "If the company successfully
negotiates a restructuring, we would likely view the potential
transaction as distressed based on the company's current rating,
market indicators, and likelihood it would default without such a
transaction," said Mr. Tsai.

The negative outlook reflects the likelihood the company will enter
into a distressed exchange, distressed buyback, or pass the 30-day
grace period on the missed interest payment and default on its
debt.  In such scenarios, S&P could lower the ratings to 'SD' on an
exchange or buyback, or to 'D' on a default.

Although unlikely, S&P could raise the rating if the company made
the interest payment within the grace period and S&P believed the
company would not engage in a distressed buyback or exchange.



PEABODY ENERGY: S&P Lowers CCR to 'CCC+', Outlook Negative
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its corporate
credit rating on St. Louis-based Peabody Energy Corp. to 'CCC+'
from 'B'.  The outlook is negative.

S&P also lowered its issue-level rating on the company's first-lien
debt to 'B' from 'BB-'.  The '1' recovery rating on the debt
remains unchanged, indicating S&P's expectation of very high (90%
to 100%) recovery in the event of a payment default.

At the same time, S&P lowered the issue-level rating on the
company's second-lien debt to 'CCC+' from 'BB-'.  S&P also revised
the recovery rating on the debt to '4', indicating its expectation
of average (30% to 50%; upper half of the range) recovery in the
event of a payment default, from '1'.

In addition, S&P lowered the issue-level rating on the company's
senior unsecured debt to 'CCC-' from 'B-' and revised the recovery
rating on the debt to '6', indicating S&P's expectation of
negligible (0% to 10%) recovery in the event of a payment default,
from '5'.

S&P also lowered the issue-level rating on the company's junior
subordinated debt to 'CC' from 'CCC'; it remains three notches
below the corporate credit rating in accordance with S&P's notching
guidelines.

"The negative outlook mirrors our decidedly negative outlook for
the domestic coal sector over the next year.  A significant portion
of the supply base has been or will be undertaking restructuring
efforts that will alter the competitive landscape, making it more
challenging for companies with weaker balance sheets," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Chiza Vitta. "Peabody is pursuing
alternatives for its capital structure targeted toward reducing
leverage while maintaining liquidity, but the capital markets
remain unfavorable to the coal sector."

S&P would lower the rating if Peabody announced a debt purchase or
exchange, which S&P would view as distressed under its criteria.
S&P could also lower the rating if sources of liquidity fell short
of covering a year's worth of operations.  This could happen if
credit measures deteriorated to the point that financial covenants
restricted revolving credit facility availability.

S&P could revise the outlook to stable if its outlook on the coal
sector improved, particularly if operating performance strengthened
such that the company sustained positive free cash flow.  The
outlook would also be revisited, along with the rating, if Peabody
concluded any restructuring efforts.



PEROXYCHEM HOLDINGS: S&P Affirms 'B' CCR Then Withdraws Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B' long-term
corporate credit rating on PeroxyChem Holdings L.P. and then
withdrew the rating at the company's request.  At the same time,
S&P discontinued the issue-level and recovery ratings on the
company's associated debt.

The rating actions follow the repayment of the company's rated
loan.  S&P withdrew the corporate credit rating at the issuer's
request.



PETROQUEST ENERGY: S&P Lowers CCR to 'CC', Outlook Negative
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Lafayette, La.-based PetroQuest Energy Inc. to 'CC' from
'B-'.  The outlook is negative.

S&P also lowered the issue-level rating on the company's $350
million 10% senior unsecured notes due September 2017 to 'CC' from
'B-'.

"The downgrade follows PetroQuest's announcement that it has
launched an exchange offer to existing holders of its $350 million
senior unsecured notes for cash and a new issue of 10% senior
secured second-lien notes due 2021," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Daniel Krauss.

The company is offering to repay noteholders 25% of par value in
cash, and offering an exchange of new second-lien senior secured
notes for the remaining portion of unsecured notes at 90% of par.
The closing date is expected to occur by the middle of February
2016.

S&P views the transaction as a distressed exchange because
investors will receive less than what was promised on the original
securities.  Additionally, in S&P's view, the offer is distressed,
rather than purely opportunistic, given the current challenging
operating environment, and meaningful upcoming debt maturities. The
company's revolving credit facility matures on Feb. 19, 2017, if
any portion of the company's senior unsecured notes are outstanding
at that date.

The outlook is negative.  Once the transaction has closed, S&P
expects to lower the corporate credit rating to 'SD' (selective
default) and the issue-level rating on the $350 million notes to
'D'.  S&P would then review the ratings based on the new capital
structure and consider an upgrade when there is more certainty that
the company is no longer pursuing distressed exchanges.  S&P also
expects to rate the new second-lien notes when there is more
detailed information about the resulting capital structure.

S&P could raise the ratings if the transaction does not close.



PICO HOLDINGS: Subsidiary Hires James Pirrello as CFO
-----------------------------------------------------
By Geoffrey J. Bailey -- gjbaileypb@hotmail.com -- On January 19,
2016, UCP, Inc., (UCP:NYSE) of San Jose, Calif., a subsidiary of

PLATTSBURGH SUITES: $16.5MM Payment Deadline Moved to Jan. 15
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Robert E. Littlefield, Jr., of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of New York entered an order providing that
the order confirming Plattsburgh Suites, LLC's First Amended
Chapter 11 Reorganization Plan will be modified to provide that the
deadline for a $16,500,000 lump-sum payment due to Stabilis Fund
II, LLC, is extended from Dec. 31, 2015 through and including Jan.
15, 2016.

The Debtor had requested an extension of the payment deadline
that's 90 days after Stabilis Fund delivers certain documents.

Pursuant to the First Amended Plan and the Confirmation Order, the
Debtor agreed to provide a lump sum payment of $16,500,000 on or
before Dec. 31, 2015, plus $100,000 per month in adequate
protection payments from August through Dec. 31, 2015.  If the
Debtor pays the $16,500,000 early, the Debtor will receive a credit
for 50% of those unpaid adequate protection payments. In the event
Stabilis Fund receives timely payment for all amounts due and
owing, Stabilis agrees to assign its interest under any mortgage
encumbering the Debtor's real party to any third party providing
new financing.

According to the Debtor, the Confirmed Plan imposed certain duties
on Stabilis Fund arising out of the settlement in litigation.  The
confirmed Plan provided:

    "Stabilis Fund II will comply with all reasonable requests to
provide information and/or otherwise facilitate the efforts of the
Debtor and/or any of its members, principals or affiliated entities
to refinance the existing mortgage loan, the Real Property, or any
other related matters including, but not limited to, the execution
and/or delivery of documents required in connection therewith,
provided, however, that Stabilis Fund II will have no obligation to
comply with or facilitate any requests that are inconsistent with
the terms of the First Amended Plan."

In mid-December 2015, the Debtor filed an application to modify the
Confirmed Plan to extend the refinance period and to compel
Stabilis Fund II to executed and deliver documents.

In its application, the Debtor said that Stabilis Fund II has
failed to perform its obligations as set forth in the confirmed
Plan, and has acted in bad faith to frustrate the goal and purpose
of the settlement reached in Court and adopted into the Confirmed
Plan such that the Court should compel Stabilis Fund to execute the
required documents and to extend the refinance period to 90 days
after Stabilis Funds executes and delivers the documents into
escrow under the Plan.

Michael J. Uccellini, the executioner of the Estate of Walter F.
Uccellini, the majority owner of the Debtor, in a court filing,
said the Court should issue an order compelling Stabilis Fund II,
LLC, to execute and deliver the documents, and change the date for
the refinance from Dec. 31, 2015, to 90 days after the documents
are delivered to the Escrow Agent.  He added that since the delay
is due to Stabilis Fund's acts, the Debtor should not be required
to make any more payments other than the $16,500,000 due from the
refinance.

On Dec. 29, 2015, the Bankruptcy Judge entered an order providing
that:

   * The Confirmed Plan will be modified to provide that if the
Debtor pays to Stabilis Fund II, LLC the sum of $125,000.00 on or
before Dec. 31, 2015, then the last date for payment of the
$16,500,000 as provided in the Confirmed Plan will be extended from
Dec. 31, 2015 through and including Jan. 15, 2016.

   * The Escrow Agreement called for in the Confirmed Plan will be
amended to reflect this provision, and, once amended, will be
signed by the parties hereto on or before Dec. 29, 2015.

   * The Debtor will deliver the executed Quit Claim Deed and
associated documents necessary for recording, and Stabilis Fund II,
LLC shall deliver the Releases for the Debtor and for the Estate
and affiliates to the Title Company as called for in the Escrow
Agreement, with said respective documents to be received by the
Title Company on or before Dec. 30, 2015.

On Dec. 17, 2015, the Bankruptcy Judge entered an order providing
that the Bankruptcy Court takes no position on the issue of whether
the New York State Supreme Court should entered an order dissolving
the bond posted by Frank Zappala, Esq., in connection with the
receivership for Plattsburgh Suites, and determines that the
dissolution of such bond is not impacted by the Debtor's bankruptcy
proceeding and/or plan of reorganization.

Case No. 15-10077) in Albany, New York, on Jan. 16, 2015.  The
bankruptcy filing was prompted by a foreclosure action commenced by
Stabilis Fund II, LLC, assignee of the first mortgage.

The case is assigned to Judge Robert E. Littlefield Jr.

The Debtor tapped Richard L. Weisz, Esq., at Hodgson Russ LLP, in
Albany, New York, as counsel.

PLATTSBURGH SUITES: Court Approves Uncontested Amended Plan
-----------------------------------------------------------
Judge Robert E. Littlefield, Jr., of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of New York entered an order confirming
Plattsburgh Suites, LLC's First Amended Chapter 11 Reorganization
Plan.

No objections to confirmation of the Plan were filed, and all
voting classes accepted the Plan.

According to the Plan Confirmation Order, the Debtor and its
attorneys are required to appear before the Court on March 9, 2016,
at 10:30 a.m. and show cause why the Report Of Substantial
Consummation and the Application for Final Decree have not been
filed with the Court.

Secured creditor Stabilis Fund II, LLC, opposed the original
iteration of the Plan and filed a motion seeking dismissal of the
case but later reached a settlement with the Debtor.

Under the original iteration of the Plan, the Debtor proposed
paying the allowed secured claim of Stabilis Fund II on a 30-year
amortization schedule at 4.25%, with a balloon in 10 years.  Under
the First Amended Plan, which incorporates the settlement with
Stabilis, Stabilis will receive a lump sum payment of $16,500,000
on or before Dec. 31, 2015, plus $100,000 per month in adequate
protection payments from August through Dec. 31, 2015.  In the
event Stabilis receives timely payment for all amounts due and
owing, Stabilis agrees to assign its interest under any mortgage
encumbering the Debtor's real party to any third party providing
new financing.

As was proposed in the original Plan, the Debtor will pay all
allowed real property taxes in full with statutory interest of 12
percent on before Jan. 15, 2020.  Unsecured creditors are to
receive 1.5% per year for 10 years for a total distribution of 15%.
Insider unsecured creditors are to receive 0.5% per year for 10
years for a total distribution of 5%.  The current owners of the
Debtor would retain 100% membership in exchange for backstopping
payments to non-insider unsecured creditors.  

After approving the First Amended Disclosure Statement on July 28,
2015, the Court scheduled a hearing to consider confirmation of the
Plan on Aug. 26.

PLOVER APPETIZER: Michigan Treasury, Heinz Object to Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
The State of Michigan, Department of Treasury, and H.J. Heinz
Company LP object to Plover Appetizer Co.'s Joint Plan of
Liquidation and accompanying disclosure statement.

Michigan Treasury, which holds proofs of claim totaling $26,271,
objects to the language in Article VI, paragraph C of the Plan as
it attempts to improperly require allowance of claims as a
pre-condition to their payment.  Claims are automatically allowed
under Section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code absent an objection, the
Michigan Treasury asserts.  Moreover, Michigan Treasury objects to
the Plan as it fails to provide default language for the
non-payment of priority claims, which is warranted under Section
1123(a)(5)G) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Heinz, which is a co-party to the Debtor to a Co-Pack Agreement,
complains that the Plan is not confirmable to the extent it
purports to limit or restrict Heinz's rights of setoff and
recoupment.

PRESCOTT VALLEY: Gets Approval of Financing Deal With IPFS
----------------------------------------------------------
Prescott Valley Events Center LLC received court approval to enter
into a premium finance agreement with IPFS Corp.

Under the agreement, IPFS will finance the payment of the company's
insurance premiums to maintain its property insurance policy.  The
total amount of the annual premiums for the policy is $51,559.  

The terms of the agreement include a down payment of $20,320, and
the remainder of $31,238 to be financed over 7 months at an
interest rate of 7.99%, renewing the policy for one year.

In exchange for the financing, IPFS will get a "first priority
security interest" in unearned premiums, according to court
filings.

The order was issued by Judge Madeleine Wanslee of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona.

Judge Wanslee previously approved a $300,000 financing to get
Prescott Valley through bankruptcy.

The company initially received $55,000 of the loan from Fain
Signature Group after getting interim approval from the bankruptcy
judge in August last year.  The remaining $245,000 of the loan was
approved in September.

Fain Signature agreed to accept as security for the $245,000 loan
an administrative claim equal in priority to other administrative
claims after the U.S. trustee questioned Prescott Valley's initial
request to grant the lender an administrative priority claim.

The financing had also drawn opposition from Robert W. Baird &
Company Inc. and Southwest Securities Inc.  Both creditors had
criticized the company for not providing a budget showing its
projected income and expenses, and how it would use the funds,
according to court filings.

                About Prescott Valley Events Center

Prescott Valley Events Center, LLC, was formed in 2005 to construct
and operate a multi-purpose sports and entertainment arena known as
the Prescott Valley Events Center in Prescott Valley, Arizona.  The

Arizona Sundogs (CHL) ice hockey team.  The Center's seating
capacity is 6,200 for concerts, 4,810 for hockey, and 5,100 for
basketball.

The original members of PVEC were Prescott Valley Signature
Entertainment, LLC, and Global Entertainment Corporation, which
each owned 50 percent of the membership interests in PVEC.

PVEC sought Chapter 11 protection in Prescott, Arizona (Bankr. D.
Ariz. Case No. 15-10356) on Aug. 14, 2015.  The case is assigned to
Judge Madeleine C. Wanslee.

The Debtor tapped Carolyn J. Johnsen, Esq., and William Novotny,
Esq., at Dickinson Wright PLLC, in Phoenix, as counsel.

The Debtor estimated $10 million to $50 million in assets and $50
million to $100 million in debt.


PTC SEAMLESS: Court Approves $4.025-Mil. Sale to BD Seamless
------------------------------------------------------------
PTC Seamless Tube Corp., formerly known as PTC Alliance Pipe
Acquisition LLC, sought and obtained from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Pennsylvania, approval for the sale of Acquired
Assets to BD Seamless Acquisition Co., LLC, free and clear of all
liens, claims encumbrances and other interests.

Judge Thomas P. Agresti previously entered an order approving the
bidding procedures.  The bid procedures set a $4 million minimum
cash bid, a Sept. 21 deadline for initial bids, a Sept. 22 auction,
and a Sept. 24 sale hearing.

The acquired assets consist of: (a) all the Debtor's receivables
and claims; (b) all inventory; (c) all of the owned real property
of the Debtor, and any part or parcel thereof; (d) all tangible
personal property; and (e) all intellectual property, among others.


The Asset Purchase Agreement contains, among others, these relevant
terms:

   (1) Payment of a purchase price of $4,025,000 plus a wind-down
amount equal to $200,000 to fund the Debtor's wind-down expenses.

   (2) Payment of a contingent amount, in the amount that is
necessary to pay allowed Chapter 11 administrative expenses and, in
connection with any structured dismissal of the Chapter 11 case,
allowed priority claims to the extent the allowed Chapter 11
administrative expenses and allowed priority claims are not able to
be paid from the purchase price or other assets of the Debtor's
bankruptcy estate.

   (3) All liens, claims and other interests of any kind in the
Acquired Assets will attach to the Wind-Down Amount with the same
validity, force and effect, and in the same order of priority,
which such Liens, Claims or interests now have against the Acquired
Assets, subject to any rights, claims and defenses the Debtor or
its estate, as applicable, may possess with respect thereto.

The Court affirmed that the Asset Purchase Agreement between the
Debtor and BD Seamless was negotiated, proposed and entered into by
the parties in good faith and from arm's-length bargaining
positions and without collusion, fraud, or unfair advantage.  BD
Seamless' offer constitutes the highest or otherwise best offer for
the Acquired Assets, and will provide the best recovery for the
Debtor's estate than would be provided by any other practical
available alternative.

Charbon Contracting LLC, a junior lienholder on the Debtor's
property located at 500 Frank Yost Lane, Hopkinsville, Kentucky,
objected to the Debtor's Motion ("Property").  Charbon contended
that it had a Mechanic's Lien, securing the full amount owed by the
Debtor to Charbon of $205,001, plus costs incurred in the
collection of that amount.  Charbon further contended that the
Property could not be sold free and clear of all liens as none of
the conditions described in 363(f)(1)-(5) is met.  Charbon
ultimately withdrew its objection to the Debtor's Motion.

REICHHOLD HOLDINGS: Court Confirms Ch. 11 Plan of Liquidation
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Mary F. Walrath of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware on Jan. 13, 2016, issued a findings of fact,
conclusions of law, and order confirming the Second Amended Plan of
Liquidation proposed by Reichhold Holdings US, Inc., and its debtor
affiliates.

Roger L. Willis, the president and treasurer of Reichhold
Liquidation, Inc., in a declaration in support of confirmation,
stated that the Plan was overwhelmingly accepted by both the
holders of General Unsecured Claims and Convenience Claims, which
were the only two classes of claims entitled to vote on the Plan.
Mr. Willis further stated that the Plan also satisfies the
confirmation requirements under Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy
Code.

Kathleen M. Logan, president of Logan & Company, Inc., filed a
declaration stating that 91.89% of the holders of Class 3 - General
Unsecured Claims and 95.24% of the holders of Class 4 - Convenience
Claims voted to accept the Plan.  The Debtors and Alnor Oil
Company, Inc., which holds an unsecured claim in the amount of more
than $400,000, entered into a stipulation agreeing that the Alnor
Ballot will be deemed to have voted in favor of the Plan without
the election of treatment as a Class 4 Convenience Class Claim.

All objections, including those raised by King County, Washington,
Bank of America, N.A., the Internal Revenue Service, and the Galena
Park Independent School District, that were not resolved by
agreement or prior to the Confirmation Hearing are overruled.

BofA complained that the Plan is ambiguous in several respects as
to treatment of the Debtors' letter of credit obligations.  BofA
further complained that the Plan is also not clear whether any
residual interest in the LC Cash Collateral that remains after full
and final payment and satisfaction of all of the LC Obligations
will vest in the Liquidating Trust or Liquidating Reichhold upon
the effective date.

The IRS objected to Article X(F) of the Plan to the extent it fails
to preserve the setoff and recoupment rights of the IRS.
Confirmation, according to the IRS, of a plan does not extinguish
setoff claims when they are timely asserted.  The IRS objected to
Article I(B)(1.4) of the Plan to the extent the Plan purports to
set an administrative claims bar date for taxes described in
Section 503(b)(1)(B) and (C) in violation of Section 503(b)(1)(D)
of the Bankruptcy Code.

Galena, a holder of secured postpetition tax claims for the 2015
tax year in the amount of $199,361, objected to the confirmation of
the Plan to the extent it does not provide for the retention of its
tax liens securing the payment of the Postpetition Taxes until the
taxes are paid in full.  Galena also objected to the Plan to the
extent it fails to provide that the failure to pay the Postpetition
Taxes prior to delinquency as required under Texas law is an event
of default under the Plan and entitles Galena Park to take any and
all actions authorized under Texas law to collect the Postpetition
taxes, penalties, and interests in the courts of the State of
Texas.

King Country asserted that the Plan should provide that it should
not be precluded from filing counterclaims or asserting setoff
rights against Glacier Northwest, Inc.

Prior to the confirmation hearing, the Debtors filed supplements,
including Liquidating Trust Agreement, and List of Retained Causes
of Action.  Full-text copies of the Plan Supplements are available

                     About Reichhold Holdings

Founded in 1927, Reichhold, with its world headquarters and
technology center in Durham, North Carolina, is one of the world's
largest manufacturer of unsaturated polyester resins and a leading
supplier of coating resins for the industrial, transportation,
building and construction, marine, consumer and graphic arts
markets.  Reichhold -- http://www.Reichhold.com/-- has      
manufacturing operations throughout North America, Latin America,
the Middle East, Europe and Asia.

As of June 30, 2014, the Reichhold companies had consolidated
assets of $538 million and liabilities of $631 million.

Reichhold Holdings US, Inc., Reichhold, Inc., and two U.S.
affiliates sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case
No. 14-12237) on Sept. 30, 2014.

Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard, P.A. (legal advisor) and
CDG Group LLC (financial advisor) are representing Reichhold, Inc.

Latham & Watkins LLP (legal advisor) and Moelis & Company
(investment banker) are serving Reichhold Industries, Inc.  Logan &
Company is the company's claims and noticing agent.  The cases are
assigned to Judge Mary F. Walrath.

The U.S. Trustee for Region 3 appointed seven creditors of
Reichhold Holdings US, Inc. to serve on the official committee of
unsecured creditors.

On April 1, 2015, the U.S. Trustee named three non-union retirees
of Debtors to serve as the official Non-Union Retiree Committee.
Each of the Retiree Committee members is receiving retiree welfare
benefits from one or more of the Debtors.

On April 2, 2015, Reichhold disclosed that the purchase of most of
the assets of the U.S. business was completed.  This transaction,
approved by the Delaware Bankruptcy Court on January 12, 2015,
allows Reichhold's U.S. businesses to successfully emerge from
bankruptcy and re-join the rest of the global Reichhold
organization.  Concurrent with this purchase, Reichhold completed a
debt-for-equity exchange with a group of investors led by Black
Diamond Capital Management LLC and including J.P. Morgan Investment
Management, Inc., Third Avenue Management LLC, and Simplon Partners
LP.


RESOLUTE FOREST: Moody's Affirms Ba3 CFR, Outlook Remains Stable
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service lowered Resolute Forest Product Inc's
speculative-grade liquidity rating to SGL-2 (good liquidity) from
SGL-1 (very good liquidity).  The company's existing ratings,
including the Ba3 Corporate Family Rating, Ba3-PD Probability of
Default Rating, and Ba3 rating on the senior unsecured notes due
2023 were affirmed.  The outlook remains stable.

Ratings Lowered:

Issuer: Resolute Forest Products Inc.
  Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Lowered to SGL-2 from SGL-1

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Resolute Forest Products Inc.
  Outlook, Remains Stable

Affirmations:

Issuer: Resolute Forest Products Inc.
  Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed Ba3-PD
  Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed Ba3
  Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Affirmed Ba3 (LGD4)

RATINGS RATIONALE

The lowering of Resolute's speculative-grade liquidity rating to
SGL-2 reflects Moody's view that the company will rely on its
credit facility to fund a portion of its cash requirements over the
next 12-18 months.  Factoring the cash financed acquisition of
Atlas Paper Holdings in November 2015 for $156 million, the company
had about $80 million of cash (as of September 30, 2015) and
availability of $448 million on its $600 million asset-based
revolving credit facility that matures in May 2020 (subject to
borrowing base availability, with no current borrowing and $34
million of letters of credit outstanding).  With higher than normal
near term capital expenditures related to the company's planned
$270 million construction of a new tissue paper machine and three
converting lines at its Calhoun, Tennessee pulp and paper mill,
Moody's estimates cash consumption of about $200 million over the
next four quarters.  Resolute has no near term debt maturities, and
its core debt (senior unsecured notes) does not mature until 2023.
A minimum fixed charge coverage ratio is the only financial
requirement under the credit facility and is triggered solely when
availability under the facility falls below 10% of facility size.
Moody's does not expect this covenant to be triggered in the next
12 months.

Resolute's Ba3 CFR reflects the company's strong market positions
in paper, pulp and lumber, integrated product diversity, good
liquidity and favorable cost position for most of the products that
it manufactures.  The rating is tempered by Moody's forecasted
adjusted leverage (5x over the next 12-18 months) given the
company's significant unfunded pension liabilities and the secular
decline of newsprint and specialty papers, which represents about
60% of the company's revenue.  This paper decline is somewhat
offset by the anticipated recovery of the company's wood products
segment as the US housing market strengthens and the
diversification provided by the company's growing market pulp, wood
products and tissue business.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that weaker results
from Resolute's paper business will be partially offset by higher
lumber and market pulp sales from the full ramp-up of completed
capacity expansion projects and from earnings from the recently
acquired tissue business.

An upgrade may be warranted if the company continues to diversify
away from the declining paper market, with adjusted debt to EBITDA
approaching 3x on a sustained basis (5.9x as of September 2015),
while maintaining good liquidity.  Resolute's ratings could face
downward ratings pressure if the company's liquidity position
deteriorates or if normalized adjusted Debt to EBITDA exceeds
5.5x.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global Paper
and Forest Products Industry published in October 2013.

Headquartered in Montreal (Quebec, Canada), Resolute produces
newsprint, commercial printing papers, market pulp, tissue and wood
products.  Net sales for the last twelve months ending September
2015 were $3.8 billion.

RG STEEL: Fails to Prove Ownership of Trumbull County Tax Refund
----------------------------------------------------------------
RG Steel Warren, LLC, filed petition for a writ of mandamus,
seeking a writ to require the Trumbull County Auditor to draw a
warrant on the County Treasurer for a tax refund in relator's
favor.  The Warren City School District intervened and filed a
motion for summary judgment, arguing that, as a matter of law, the
relator is not entitled to the tax refund.

In an Opinion dated December 28, 2015, which is available at
http://is.gd/yY9mn8from Leagle.com, the Court of Appeals of Ohio,
Eleventh District, Trumbull County, denied the writ of mandamus and
held that the District is entitled to summary judgment as the
Relator has failed to establish the existence of a genuine issue of
material fact regarding its ownership of the tax refund or its
entitlement to it.

SAMSON RESOURCES: Court Approves Deloitte & Touche as Auditor
-------------------------------------------------------------
Samson Resources Corporation, et al., sought and obtained
authorization from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware to employ Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent auditor,
nunc pro tunc to the September 16, 2015 petition date.

The Debtors require Deloitte & Touche to:

   (a) audit financial statements in accordance with the
       standards established by the Public Company Accounting
       Oversight Board (United States) or the American Institute
       of Certified Public Accountants, as applicable, for the
       year ending December 31, 2015; and

   (b) review the applicable Debtors' condensed interim
       financial information for each of the quarters in the year
       ending December 31, 2015.

Deloitte & Touche may also include accounting and financial
reporting research and consultation related to the restructuring
and related financing activities customarily provided by the
independent auditor as may be required in large and complex chapter
11 cases like the Debtors' that were not specifically contemplated
in the fee structure in the Engagement Letter (the "Out of Scope
Services").

The fees for the Deloitte & Touche, other than Out of Scope
Services, were initially anticipated to be approximately
$2,735,000. However, given the expansion of services due to the
commencement of these chapter 11 cases, Deloitte & Touche will
charge the base audit hourly rates set forth in the table below for
services other than Out of Scope Services, and consultation hourly
rates for the Out of Scope Services.

Base Audit Hourly Rates:

       Partner/Principal       $400

       Senior Manager          $300
       Manager                 $250

       Senior Staff            $200-$300
       Staff                   $140-$240

Deloitte & Touche will also be reimbursed for reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

The Debtors paid Deloitte & Touche approximately $700,000 in the
form of retainers in the 90 days prior to the Petition Date, and
Deloitte & Touche invoiced amounts have been applied against
Deloitte & Touche Retainer. As of the Petition Date, approximately
$470,000 of the Deloitte & Touche Retainer remained outstanding.

Carl Daugherty, partner of Deloitte & Touche, assured the Court
that the firm is a "disinterested person" as the term is defined in
Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code and does not represent any
interest adverse to the Debtors and their estates.

SAMUEL WYLY: 2nd Cir. Partially Affirms Asset Freeze Order
----------------------------------------------------------
This appeal arises out of a civil enforcement action brought by the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission against defendants Samuel
Wyly and Charles Wyly, Jr.

After a jury found the Wyly Brothers liable for multiple claims of
securities fraud, Judge Shira A. Scheindlin of the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York ordered
payment of approximately $300 million in disgorgement.  Fearing the
dissipation of ill-gotten gains among the Wyly Brothers' family
members, the SEC requested that the District Court enter a
temporary asset freeze.  While that request was pending before the
District Court, Samuel Wyly and the widow of Charles Wyly filed
petitions for Chapter 11 protection in Bankruptcy Court, triggering
the automatic stay provision of the Bankruptcy Code.  Shortly
thereafter, the District Court entered the order freezing the Wyly
Brothers' ill-gotten gains, including assets transferred to
multiple family members, who are named Relief Defendants in the
action.

This appeal does not challenge the liability judgment against the
Wyly Brothers or the damages award.  Instead, the defendants
appellants challenge only the validity of the asset freeze order,
which they assert was issued in violation of the Bankruptcy Code's
automatic stay provision.

In an Order dated December 18, 2015 which is available at
http://is.gd/HlwI2Afrom Leagle.com, the United States Court of
Appeals, Second Circuit held that the pre-judgment asset freeze
order imposed by the District Court was exempt from the Bankruptcy
Code's automatic stay provision.  The asset freeze order at issue
here did not seek to enforce a money judgment and thus fell within
the governmental unit exception to the stay provision, but not
within the exception to the exception.

The Second Circuit, accordingly, affirmed in part the District
Court's November 3, 2014 asset freeze order insofar as it
restrained the assets of the nine Relief Defendants.  The order was
properly supported by a showing of receipt of ill-gotten gains by
nine of the sixteen Relief Defendants, the Second Circuit held.

The court was unable to determine on this record whether seven of
the sixteen Relief Defendants personally received ill-gotten gains,
accordingly, the Second Circuit remanded the case to the District
Court for additional factual development on the limited issue of
whether these seven Relief Defendants received ill-gotten gains.

The case is SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, Plaintiff-Appellee,
v. DONALD R. MILLER, JR., in his capacity as the Independent
Executor of the Will and Estate of Charles J. Wyly, Jr. also known
as Charles J. Wyly, Jr., DAVID MATTHEWS, LISA WYLY, KELLY WYLY

SCIENTIFIC GAMES: Hikes EVP's Base Salary to $725,000
-----------------------------------------------------
Scientific Games Corporation entered into an amendment to its
employment agreement, dated as of Dec. 18, 2012, with James C.
Kennedy, the Company's executive vice president and group chief
executive, lottery.

Pursuant to the amendment, Mr. Kennedy's base salary was increased
to $725,000.  In addition, the term of Mr. Kennedy's employment
agreement was extended to Dec. 31, 2018, subject to extension for
an additional year at the end of the term and each anniversary
thereof unless timely notice of non-renewal is given.  On Jan. 14,
2016, Mr. Kennedy received an equity award of 70,000 restricted
stock units with a four-year vesting schedule (one-fourth vesting
on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date.)

                     About Scientific Games

Scientific Games reported a net loss of $234 million in 2014, a net
loss of $30.2 million in 2013 and a net loss of $62.6 million for
2012.

As of Sept. 30, 2015, the Company had $8.61 billion in total
assets, $9.59 billion in total liabilities and a $981 million
total stockholders' deficit.

                           *     *     *

The TCR reported on May 21, 2014, that Moody's Investors Service
downgraded Scientific Games Corporation's ("SGC") Corporate Family
Rating to 'B1'.  The downgrade reflects Moody's view that slower
than expected growth in SGC's Gaming and Instant Products segments
will cause Moody's adjusted leverage to exceed 6.0 times by the
end of 2014.

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 5, 2014, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit rating to 'B+' from 'BB-' on
Scientific Games Corp.

"The downgrade and CreditWatch placement follow Scientific Games'
announcement that it has agreed to acquire Bally Technologies for
$5.1 billion, including the refinancing of about $1.8 billion in
net debt at Bally," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Ariel
Silverberg.


SHAW COMMUNICATIONS: S&P Affirms 'BB' Global Scale Rating
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it removed its ratings on
Shaw Communications Inc. from CreditWatch, where they were placed
with negative implications Dec. 17, 2015.  The ratings were placed
on CreditWatch after the company announced an agreement to acquire
mobile operator WIND Mobile Corp., for C$1.6 billion.

At the same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'BBB-' long-term
corporate credit rating, 'BBB-' unsecured debt ratings, 'BB' global
scale, and 'P-3' Canada scale preferred share ratings on Shaw.  The
outlook is negative.

"The affirmation incorporates our expectation that Shaw will
maintain fully adjusted debt leverage of about 3x over the next two
years, which is consistent with our 'BBB-' rating, after
incorporating the WIND acquisition and the recently announced sale
of Shaw Media," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Donald
Marleau.

"We recognize the strategic importance of a robust wireless product
for supporting the attractiveness of Shaw's wireline business and
overall revenue growth, in contrast with difficult prospects in
media.  That said, we believe that execution risks, particularly
wireless EBITDA volatility and capital expenditures--including
wireless spectrum--could worsen projected funds flow credit
measures that we estimate will already be weak for the rating," Mr.
Marleau added.

The negative outlook reflects S&P's expectation of weak free cash
flow over the next two years as the company integrates WIND and
builds out its mobile network to the current industry-standard LTE.


S&P could lower the rating if it expects that Shaw's fully adjusted
debt leverage will increase toward 3.5x, which could indicate
difficulties achieving profitability expectations in mobile or
increased debt-funded capital to support the company's competitive
position.

S&P could revise the outlook to stable if Shaw's free and
discretionary cash flow measures improve enough to keep fully
adjusted debt leverage consistently below 3x, which S&P believes
would occur if WIND EBITDA maintained a positive trajectory to
exceed C$100 million by 2018 along with expectations of
steady-to-declining capital expenditures.  S&P believes that such a
scenario would be characterized by free operating cash flow
approaching 10% and sustained positive discretionary cash flow.

TARRIE HYCHE: Court Denies Bid to Exclude Expert Testimony
----------------------------------------------------------
Trustee Robert A. Morgan filed a complaint seeking to set aside
certain transfers to Greg Masterson.  In anticipation of trial, the
Defendant seeks to exclude the testimony of certain witnesses for
the Plaintiff including Larry "Chip" Pearce, Mark O. Hampton, and
Keith Carr, on the grounds that the proposed experts are not
qualified to testify as to their opinions regarding the value of
the real property owned by Debtor Tarry Hyche on the date of the
transfers at issue because the proposed experts are not licensed by
the State of Alabama as appraisers.

In a Memorandum Opinion dated December 23, 2015, which is available
at http://is.gd/nCIxH0from Leagle.com, Judge Clifton R. Jessup of
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of
Alabama, Northern Division, denied the Defendant's Motion to
Exclude Expert Testimony.  According to Judge Jessup, the weight to
be accorded to the testimony of the Plaintiff's proposed expert
witnesses will be determined by the Court at the Trial based upon
the qualifications of those experts, the relevancy of their
testimony, and other factors.

The adversary proceeding is ROBERT A. MORGAN AS LIQUIDATING TRUSTEE

TENET HEALTHCARE: In Talks with DOJ on Possible Action Settlement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As initially disclosed in Tenet Healthcare Corporation's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, the Company
and four of its hospital subsidiaries are defendants in civil qui
tam litigation (United States of America, ex rel. Ralph D. Williams
v. Health Management Associates, Inc., et al.) that alleges that
the contractual arrangements between each of Atlanta Medical
Center, North Fulton Hospital, Spalding Regional Medical Center and
Hilton Head Hospital, and Hispanic Medical Management, Inc.
violated the federal and state anti-kickback statutes and false
claims acts.  Also as previously disclosed, the U.S. Department of
Justice is conducting a parallel criminal investigation of the
Company, certain of its subsidiaries, and current and former
employees with respect to the contractual arrangements entered into
by those individuals between HMM and the four hospitals.

In January 2016, the Company commenced preliminary discussions with
the DOJ and the State of Georgia regarding potential resolution of
these matters.  There can be no assurance that conducting these
preliminary discussions will lead to resolution of these matters.
Management previously established a reserve of approximately $20
million to reflect the low end of the range of probable liability
in connection with the civil litigation.  This amount related to an
offer the Company made to settle the civil litigation in December
2013, which was rejected.  Based on the ongoing uncertainties and
potentially wide range of outcomes associated with any potential
resolution, the Company cannot estimate the amount of potential
loss or range of reasonably possible loss it may face.  However,
the potential consequences and additional liabilities may
materially exceed the reserve the Company established and could
have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition
or cash flows.

"If we are unable to reach a resolution, we intend to continue
vigorously contesting any allegations that we or our four hospital
subsidiaries violated the law," the Company said.

WRIGHTWOOD GUEST RANCH: Plan Offers Full Payment After 5 Years
--------------------------------------------------------------
Wrightwood Guest Ranch LLC has filed a Chapter 11 plan that
proposes to pay creditors by restructuring debts and paying the
debts over time by continued business operations.  The Plan
proposes payment of all allowed claims in full with interest.

The Debtor will continue to operate the guest ranch and wedding
business.  From operational revenues and pass through distributions
from Wrightwood Canopy Tour, LLC, of profits in excess of operating
expenses and Chapter 11 reorganization expenses, restructured
payments will be made to all secured creditors, including GreenLake
Real Estate Fund, LLC, Bank of America, Cal-X, Inc./Alexander Reed
Family Trust, County of Los Angeles, Ralph Rocca Construction and
SWG, INC.  There will be a balloon payment as to the balance owed
at the end of the sixtieth month from the Effective Date.

The Plan calls for payment of semi-annual pro rata distributions to
unsecured claimants with allowed claims over 60 months with a
balloon payment due at the end of the 60th month commencing 180
days from the Effective Date.  The Debtor will pay 1.5% interest on
these claims.  The semi-annual payments will be as follows:

        Year One      $50,000
        Year Two      $75,000
        Year Three   $100,000
        Year Four    $150,000
        Year Five    $250,000

Any amount still outstanding on secured and unsecured claims at the
end of the 60th month following the Effective Date will the n be
all due and paid from refinancing the operation.  

The Debtor projects that the allowed unsecured claims will total
about $2.4 million to $2.5 million.

The Debtor says it continues to be in discussions with possible
lenders, including John Liu of EH Bank, concerning the desire and
need to refinance operations not later than 60 months from the
Effective Date.  While no lender will commit to a refinance at this
time, the Debtor is informed and believes that if the Plan is
confirmed and the Debtor obtains the necessary government approvals
and makes all payments called for by the Plan it will be in a
position to submit a successful refinancing operation as soon as 45
to 54 months following confirmation.

                   About Wrightwood Guest Ranch

Wrightwood Guest Ranch LLC, a California limited liability company,
provides recreational services such as Snow Play, Zip Line,
endurance races, logging and other outdoor events at a 300-acre
property it owns in Wrightwood area of Los Angeles County.  WGR
also operates a wedding and special event center at a 2.45-acre
property at Wrightwood area.

WGR is 60% owned by Richard and Judy Halllett and 40% owned by GREF
WGR I, LLC, an affiliate of secured creditor GreenLake Real Estate
Fund, LLC.  WGR owns 100% of the interests in Wrightwood Guest
Ranch Holdings, LLC, which in turns owns 100% of the interests in
Wrightwood Canopy Tours, LC.

Being concerned about GreenLake's threat of foreclosure, unsecured
creditors Masterpiece Marketing, Larry Rundle, and Snyder
Dorenfeld, filed an involuntary petition against Wrightwood Guest
Ranch LLC (Bankr. C.D. Cal. Case No. 15-17799) on Aug. 5, 2015.
The Petitioners' counsel is Douglas A Plazak, Esq., at Reid &
Hellyer, APC, in Riverside, California.

The Bankruptcy Court on Aug. 31, 2015, granted Wrightwood Guest
Ranch's request for relief under Chapter 11 and vacated the
Involuntary Petition filed against the Debtor.

The case is assigned to Judge Scott C. Clarkson.

The Debtor tapped Walter & Wilhelm Law Group as bankruptcy counsel;
Hall & Company as accountants; and Baker, Manock & Jensen as
special counsel.

The Debtor filed a proposed Plan and Disclosure Statement on Oct.
26, 2015.  On Dec. 4, 2014, it filed an amended Plan and Disclosure
Statement.


WRIGHTWOOD GUEST RANCH: To Submit Revisions to Plan Outline
-----------------------------------------------------------
Objections to Wrightwood Guest Ranch LLC's First Amended Disclosure
Statement, as well as First Amended Plan, were filed by GreenLake
Real Estate Fund, LLC, the United States Trustee's Office, and SWG,
Inc.

GreenLake says the Debtor failed to provide adequate information in
the Disclosure Statement.

"Other than presenting pie-in-the-sky financial projections with no
support, Debtor has not provided adequate information regarding
Debtor's historical operational performance or any explanation for
why the financial projections are realistic given Debtor's past and
current operations.  The Disclosure Statement has also left many
gaps and questions unanswered (e.g., failure to adequately provide
insiders' identities and proposed compensation, unintelligible
statements regarding GreenLake's interest in the property, failure
to identify specific actions purportedly taken or which will be
taken to resolve financial problems, and failure to provide
adequate details regarding contemplated refinancing)," GreenLake
said in the court filing.

GreenLake also claims that: (a) the information provided by Debtor
in the Disclosure Statement is grossly misleading and
mischaracterizes key facts; (b) the Debtor's unsupported
pie-in-the-sky projections are patently nonconfirmable; (c) the
Debtor has acted dishonestly and in bad faith, warranting
disapproval of the Disclose Statement and nonconfirmation of the
plan; and (d) the Disclosure Statement and Plan do not comply with
cram-down confirmation requirements.

GreenLake is asking the Court to deny approval of the Amended
Disclosure Statement, and instead set a hearing date and briefing
schedule for its motion for relief from stay.

The U.S. Trustee argued, among other things, that:

   * The Disclosure Statement should clarify the timing and sources
of payment for the pre-confirmation professional fees incurred by
the Debtor;

   * The Disclosure Statement should disclose additional
information about the Halletts' individual ownership of Parcel
054;

   * The Disclosure Statement should provide additional valuation
information;

   * The Debtor should provide additional information about WCT's
zip line business;

   * The Debtor should disclose its construction budget for its
planned expanded wedding facilities; and

   * The Debtor should supplement the information it provided
concerning a future re-financing.

The U.S. Trustee notes that under the Plan, the Debtor intends to
pay unsecured creditors 100 percent of their allowed claims,
together with interest at a rate of 1.5 percent.  Part of the
creditor payments will be made in semi-annual installments over the
course of the next 60 months; the remainder will be paid "with a
balloon payment due at the end of the sixtieth month following the
Effective Date."

The U.S. Trustee asserts that the Debtor should provide additional
information about its re-financing prospects.  Its reference to the
opinions of two individuals, John Liu and Woodrow Wong, without a
description about who these individuals are and why they are
qualified to render an opinion, is inadequate information,
according to the U.S. Trustee.  Second, the Debtor should state
explicitly in the Disclosure Statement and/or Plan whether
creditors will get paid early if the Debtor refinances prior to
month 60, the U.S. Trustee avers.

                      Response to Objections

The Debtor says many of the objections were well taken and the
Debtor will incorporate information addressing each of the
objections into the Second Amended Disclosure Statement.  Due to
the nature of the objections and the need to obtain information
from third parties, the Debtor intends to file a Second Amended
Disclosure Statement on or before Jan. 29, 2016.

The Debtor says the Second Amended Disclosure Statement and Plan
will address the specifics of the objections, provide disclosures
regarding the ability to obtain refinancing at the end of 60 months
from confirmation, provide updated projections, and otherwise
address the objections.

Counsel for the Debtor request that the hearing be continued to
March 10, 2016, at 11:00 a.m.

GreenLake is the Debtor's efforts to obtain a continuance of the
Disclosure Statement Hearing.  "GreenLake contends that the basis
for Debtor's request for continuance is plainly insufficient and
hollow, and Debtor should not be allowed to delay the proceedings
until March 2016.  Given the Debtor's history, even if the Court
were to continue the hearing on the disclosure statement to March
2016, GreenLake anticipates that come March, Debtor will only come
forward with yet another request for additional time to file
additional disclosure statements because it still cannot fix any of
the feasibility problems with its proposed plan, nor can it refute
the misrepresentations it made before and throughout the
bankruptcy, as well as its bad faith conduct."

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.

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

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

The Sunday TCR delivers securitization rating news from the week
then-ending.
