21ST CENTURY: Forbearance with Noteholders Extended to March 10
---------------------------------------------------------------
On Dec. 6, 2016, 21st Century Oncology Holdings, Inc., 21st Century
Oncology, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, and certain of the
Company's other subsidiaries entered into a Forbearance Agreement
relating to the Company's indenture and a Forbearance Agreement
relating to the Company's credit agreement, with certain of 21C's
noteholders and lenders, respectively.  The Forbearance Agreements
were subsequently amended on Dec. 15, 2016, and on Jan. 15, 2017.

Effective as of Jan. 31, 2017, the Company entered into amendments
to the Forbearance Agreements to, among other things, provide that
the noteholders and lenders party thereto will forbear, subject to
important exceptions, until the earlier of March 10, 2017, and the
occurrence of certain events from exercising any rights and
remedies under 21C's indenture, notes or credit agreement, as
applicable, on account of certain events of default.

In addition, effective as of Jan. 31, 2017, Medical Developers,
LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and certain
of its affiliates, entered into an amendment to the MDL Credit and
Guarantee Agreement to extend the maturity date from Jan. 31, 2017,
to March 10, 2017.

                      About 21st Century

Fort Myers, Florida-based 21st Century Oncology Holdings, Inc.
(NYSEMKT:ICC), formerly Radiation Therapy Services Holdings, Inc.,
is a physician-led provider of integrated cancer care (ICC)
services.  It operates an integrated network of cancer treatment
centers and affiliated physicians in the world which, as of
December 31, 2015, deployed approximately 947 community-based
physicians in the fields of radiation oncology, medical oncology,
breast, gynecological, general surgery and urology.  As of December
31, 2015, the Company's physicians provided medical services at
approximately 375 locations, including over 181 radiation therapy
centers, of which 59 operated in partnership with health systems.
Its cancer treatment centers in the United States are operated
under the 21st Century Oncology brand.

As of Sept. 30, 2016, 2st Century had $1.05 billion in total
assets, $1.39 billion in total liabilities, $472.34 million in
series A convertible redeemable preferred stock, $19.24 million in
non-controlling interests - redeemable and a total deficit of
$833.89 million.

                          *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 4, 2016, S&P Global Ratings lowered
its corporate credit rating on 21st Century Oncology Holdings to
'SD' from 'CCC' and removed the ratings from CreditWatch, where
they were placed with negative implications on May 17, 2016.  "The
downgrade follows 21st Century's announcement that it failed to
make the Nov. 1, 2016, interest payment on the 11.0% senior
unsecured notes due 2023," said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst
Matthew O'Neill.  Given S&P's view of the company's debt level as
unsustainable, and ongoing restructuring discussions, it does not
expect a payment to be made within the grace period.

ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES: Reports $497M Net Loss in 2016
-------------------------------------------------------
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., reported a net loss of $51 million on
$1.10 billion of net revenue for the three months ended Dec. 31,
2016, compared with a net loss of $102 million on $958 million of
net revenue for the three months ended Dec. 26, 2015.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2016, the Company reported a net loss
of $497 million on $4.27 billion of net revenue compared with a net
loss of $660 million on $3.99 billion of net revenue for the year
ended Dec. 26, 2015.

As of Dec. 31, 2016, Advanced Micro had $3.32 billion in total
assets, $2.90 billion in total liabilities and $416 million in
total stockholders' equity.

"We met our strategic objectives in 2016, successfully executing
our product roadmaps, regaining share in key markets, strengthening
our financial foundation, and delivering annual revenue growth,"
said Dr. Lisa Su, AMD president and CEO.  "As we enter 2017, we are
well positioned and on-track to deliver our strongest set of
high-performance computing and graphics products in more than a
decade."

Cash and cash equivalents were $1.26 billion at the end of the
year, up from $785 million at the end of the prior year.

For Q1 2017, AMD expects revenue to decrease 11 percent
sequentially, plus or minus 3 percent.  The midpoint of guidance
would result in Q1 2017 revenue increasing approximately 18 percent
year-over-year.  For additional details regarding AMD's results and
outlook please see the CFO commentary posted at
http://www.quarterlyearnings.amd.com.

                 About Advanced Micro Devices

Sunnyvale, California-based Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.,
(NASDAQ:AMD) is a global semiconductor company.  AMD --
http://www.amd.com/-- offers x86 microprocessors, as a standalone
central processing unit (CPU) or as incorporated into an
accelerated processing unit (APU), chipsets, and discrete graphics
processing units (GPUs) for the consumer, commercial and
professional graphics markets, and server and embedded CPUs, GPUs
and APUs, and semi-custom System-on-Chip (SoC) products and
technology for game consoles.

AMD incurred a net loss of $660 million on $3.99 billion of net
revenue for the year ended Dec. 26, 2015, compared to a net loss of
$403 million on $5.50 billion of net revenue for the year ended
Dec. 27, 2014.

                          *     *     *

In September 2016, S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'CCC+' corporate
credit rating on Sunnyvale, Calif.-based AMD.  The outlook is
stable.  In addition, S&P assigned its 'CCC' issue-level rating to
the company's senior unsecured convertible notes due in 2026.  S&P
said the ratings reflect AMD's vulnerable business risk profile:
weak PC industry conditions, intense competition from Intel, and
challenges to grow in targeted enterprise, and embedded and
semi-custom product markets to offset PC business declines.

In September 2016, Moody's Investors Service affirmed AMD's 'Caa1'
corporate family rating and the 'Caa2' rating on the senior
unsecured notes, and revised the rating outlook to positive from
negative. The speculative grade liquidity rating is upgraded to
SGL-2 from SGL-3.  The positive outlook reflects AMD's prospects
for improved operating performance and cash generation as well as
the improved product portfolio enabling the company to compete in
the current discrete GPUs (graphics processing unit), APUs
(application process units), x86 and ARM CPUs (central processing
unit) market.  Moody's said, "Although we expect ongoing revenue
declines and operating losses in its PC-related business
(microprocessors and graphics chips), the growing EESC (enterprise,
embedded, and semi-custom) business supported by the reported
design wins, we project break even to modest profitability
beginning in the second half of 2016."

In March 2016, Fitch Ratings downgraded and withdrew the ratings
for AMD including the Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to
'CCC' from 'B-'.  Fitch has withdrawn AMD's ratings for commercial
reasons.  The downgrade reflects prospects for negative free cash
flow (FCF) over the intermediate term and the consequent liquidity
issues and refinancing risk that could develop as the 2019 and 2020
debt maturities approach.

ALLY FINANCIAL: Reports $1.1 Billion Net Income in 2016
-------------------------------------------------------
Ally Financial Inc. issued a press release announcing preliminary
operating results for the fourth quarter and full year ended Dec.
31, 2016.

Pre-tax income from continuing operations of $1.6 billion, up $188
million compared to 2015, due to continued strong contributions
from lending businesses which were supported by strong deposit
growth.

Net income of $1.1 billion, compared to $1.3 billion in the prior
year.  2015 results were impacted by $392 million in income from
discontinued operations primarily from the sale of Ally’s former
joint venture in China.  Further, 2015 net income available to
common was impacted by the redemption of Series G and repurchase of
Series A preferred securities totaling $2.6 billion.

Net financing revenue improved to $3.9 billion, up $188 million
from the prior year, with deposit and retail auto loan growth more
than offsetting a decline in net lease revenue resulting from
declining portfolio balances and declining used vehicle values.

Other revenue increased $388 million over the prior year from
contributions from the insurance and corporate finance businesses,
the Company's leading online auto auction, SmartAuction, as well as
favorable investment gains.  In 2015, other revenue was impacted by
approximately $341 million of charges related to the Company's
liability management efforts.

Provision expense up $210 million over 2015, due to a deliberate
shift to originate a more profitable loan mix and retail auto
portfolio growth.

Adjusted earnings per share improved 8% in 2016 to $2.16.

Full year NIM of 2.63%, including OID of 4 basis points, up 6 basis
points year-over-year.  Excluding OID, NIM was 2.67%, improving 7
basis points year-over-year, as a result of higher asset yields.

Auto originations totaled $36.0 billion in 2016, down from $41.0
billion, with continued focus on portfolio optimization and capital
deployment.

Net income of $248 million, compared to $263 million in the prior
year quarter, as higher total revenues were more than offset by
increased provision and noninterest expense.

Other revenue increased $36 million year-over-year, due to auto
finance-related fee income, revenue from online brokerage and
improved results in the corporate finance business.

Provision expense increased $27 million, compared to the prior year
quarter, to $267 million, driven by higher retail auto loan
provision, partially offset by lower mortgage loan reserves.
Noninterest expense was up $53 million year-over-year due to
continued growth in auto lending and deposits as well as new
product expansion initiatives, including online brokerage.

Ally Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Brown commented on the
financial results: "In 2016, Ally made significant progress in its
evolution as a leading, digital financial services company, and has
strong momentum heading into 2017."

"Operational performance improved across the board, including
record deposit growth and improved risk-adjusted returns in retail
auto finance.  Our efforts to fortify and grow our businesses have
strengthened the company's financial performance and, as a result,
we expect earnings growth to accelerate over the next several
years.  Significant progress was also made in optimizing our
capital structure as Ally eliminated preferred dividends,
introduced a common dividend and repurchased significant amounts of
stock to further drive long-term shareholder value creation."

"Long term, we remain focused on plans to gradually diversify the
asset base and sources of revenue.  Efforts to expand other parts
of the company are generating real results, including the corporate
finance group which saw a 42% increase in pre-tax income.  We've
also introduced several key initiatives to broaden our offerings,
including wealth management, and a direct-to-consumer mortgage
product.  Further, new partnerships within our auto finance
business established in 2016 position Ally well for the ongoing
evolution in consumer preferences that are impacting all aspects of
the auto industry."

"Looking ahead, Ally’s customer-centric value proposition
continues to resonate in the marketplace, laying a solid foundation
for future growth.  Our new brand campaign, Do It Right, truly sums
up our relentless focus in delivering for customers, communities we
serve, Ally associates across the country, and our shareholders."

Capital

Returned over $400 million of capital to shareholders in 2016.
Repurchased $326 million of common shares or approximately 3.5% of
shares outstanding, since July 2016.  Paid quarterly common
dividend of $0.08 per share in the third and fourth quarters.
Ally’s board of directors approved a $0.08 per share dividend for
the first quarter of 2017.

Total equity of $13.3 billion at quarter-end, down from $13.6
billion at the end of the prior quarter.

Preliminary fully phased-in Basel III Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1)
capital ratioA of 9.1%, remained strong with the slight decline
compared to last quarter the result of seasonally higher commercial
balances and strong retail originations.

Liquidity & Funding

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $5.9 billion at
quarter-end, up from $4.3 billion at the end of the third quarter.
Included in this quarter's cash balance are $4.3 billion at Ally
Bank and $0.9 billion at the insurance subsidiary.

The Company did not issue any new term U.S. auto securitizations in
the quarter.  For the year, the company executed $10.8 billion in
new secured and unsecured funding and liquidity, including $5.1
billion in new term auto securitizations, $2.5 billion in whole
loan sales, $2.3 billion in new credit facilities and $900 million
in unsecured bond issuances.

Approximately 75% of Ally's total assets and 86% of total consumer
auto originations were funded at Ally Bank in the fourth quarter.

Deposits now represent approximately 54% of Ally's funding
portfolio, improving from 47% a year ago.

Deposits

Total deposits at Ally Bank grew to $79.0 billion at year-end.
Retail deposits increased to $66.6 billion at year-end, up $2.7
billion for the quarter and up $11.1 billion year-over-year, with
growth predominately being driven by savings products.

Deposit customer base grew 16% year-over-year, totaling more than
1.2 million customers at year-end, adding approximately 166,000
customers in 2016.  Millennials continue to comprise the largest
generation segment of new customers at more than 50% in 2016.

Kiplinger's named Ally "Best All-Around Online Bank" in recognition
of its no-fee checking accounts and higher than average savings and
money market deposit account yields.

Brand awareness reached an all-time high of 57% at year-end, as
measured via a monthly online survey by Hansa, a market research
firm, on behalf of Ally.

As reported by the TCR on Oct. 14, 2016, S&P Global Ratings said it
revised its outlook on Ally Financial to stable from positive and
affirmed the 'BB+' long-term issuer credit rating.

"The revised outlook reflects weakening credit conditions in the
vehicle finance industry, in our view, which represents the
majority of Ally's business," said S&P Global Ratings credit

In the April 3, 2014, edition of the TCR, Fitch Ratings has
upgraded Ally Financial Inc.'s long-term Issuer Default Rating
(IDR) and senior unsecured debt rating to 'BB+' from 'BB'.
The rating upgrade reflects increased clarity around Ally's
ownership structure given Ally's recent announcement that it has
launched an initial public offering those shares of its common
stock held by the U.S. Treasury (the Treasury).

affirmed the 'Ba3' corporate family and 'B1' senior unsecured
ratings of Ally Financial and revised the outlook for the
ratings to positive from stable.  Moody's affirmed Ally's ratings
and revised its rating outlook to positive based on the company's

AMERIGAS PARTNERS: Fitch Assigns BB Rating to Unsec. Notes Due 2027
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BB/RR3' rating to AmeriGas Partners,
LP's (APU) senior unsecured note offering due 2027. The notes are
being co-issued with AmeriGas Finance Corp. Proceeds are expected
to be used to repay in full AmeriGas Finance's remaining
outstanding notes due in 2022, guaranteed by APU, and for general
partnership purposes. Fitch believes the proposed debt tender
transaction to be marginally positive for APU, with the potential
for modest interest savings and the extension of maturities.

Fitch's Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) for APU and its fully
guaranteed financing co-borrower, AmeriGas Finance Corp. is 'BB'.
The Rating Outlook is Stable.

APU's ratings reflect the underlying strength and size of its
retail propane distribution network, broad geographic reach,
adequate credit metrics, and proven ability to manage unit margins
under various operating conditions. APU's financial performance
remains sensitive to weather conditions and general customer
conservation, and the partnership must continue to manage volatile
supply costs and customer conservation.

Fitch believes APU management has exhibited its ability and intent
to maintain a stable balance sheet and consistent credit metrics
even in the face of varying market conditions and growth through
acquisitions. APU has proven adept at managing operating costs,
distribution policies, and integrating acquisitions.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

Scale of Business: APU is the largest retail propane distributor in
the country, providing it with significant customer and geographic
diversity. This broad scale and diversity helps to dampen the
weather related volatility of cash flows. APU is the largest retail
propane distributor in the United States with an estimated 15%
market share serving approximately 2 million customers. AmeriGas
has approximately 1,900 locations in all 50 states. Retail gallon
sales are fairly evenly distributed by geography limiting the
impact that unseasonably warm weather could have on a regional
basis.

High Degree of Seasonality: A high percentage of APU's earnings are
derived in the first two quarters of each fiscal year (September
fiscal year-end). APU's 2016 results were negatively impacted by an
abnormally warm winter season nationally, given the effect of last
winter's El Nino weather pattern. Fitch notes that while a repeat
of last year's El Nino warmer winter weather has a low probability
of repeating, APU's business nevertheless remains sensitive to
weather fluctuations and highly dependent on the winter heating
season. APU's cylinder exchange business affords some seasonal
diversity, and national accounts are a steady year round earnings
provider.

Customer Conservation/Attrition: Fitch's primary concern about the
retail propane industry continues to be customer conservation and
attrition. Customer conservation and switching to electric heat
reduces propane demand during high usage periods. Recent propane
price declines and expectations for some price stability at or near
current low levels have alleviated some conservation demand
destruction. Electricity remains the largest competing heat source
to propane, but customer migration to natural gas remains a
longer-term competitive factor as natural gas utilities look to
build out systems to serve areas previously only served by propane
and electricity providers.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Fitch's key assumptions within the rating case for the issuer
include:
-- Retail and wholesale sales consistent with recent history;
-- Retail and wholesale pricing consistent with current pricing,
    prices rising modestly (approximately 1% to 2% per year) in
    the outer years;
-- Growth and maintenance capital spending of between $105
    million and $115 million annually.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Positive: Future developments that may, individually or
collectively, lead to positive rating action include:

-- If leverage (debt/EBITDA) were to improve to between 3.0x to
    3.5x on a sustained basis and distribution coverage were
    expected to remain 1.1x or above on a sustained basis, Fitch
    would consider a positive ratings action.

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

-- Leverage above 4.5x times on a sustained basis, with
    distribution coverage below 1.0x would likely lead to a rating

    downgrade.
-- Accelerating deterioration in declining customer, margin and
    or volume trends could lead to a negative ratings action.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity is adequate, and maturities are manageable. APU's
liquidity is supported by a $525 million revolving credit facility
that is typically used to fund any short-term borrowing needs.
APU's short-term borrowing needs are seasonal and are typically
greatest during the fall and winter heating-season months due to
the need to fund higher levels of working capital. Availability
under the revolver at Dec. 31, 2016 was $380.3 million.

The offering and the proposed tender is expected to push any
significant maturities at APU out to 2024, alleviating near-term
refinancing risks. Fitch does not expect APU to require any
external financing and leverage should remain fairly constant
between 3.5x and 4.25x (debt/EBITDA).

FULL LIST OF RATING ACTIONS

Fitch rates APU's offering of senior unsecured notes 'BB/RR3.'

Fitch currently rates APU:

AmeriGas Partners, L.P./AmeriGas Finance Corp.
-- Long-term IDR 'BB';
-- Senior unsecured debt 'BB/RR3'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.


AMERIGAS PARTNERS: Moody's Rates New $525MM Unsec. Notes 'Ba3'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba3 rating to AmeriGas
Partners, L.P.'s (AmeriGas) proposed $525 million senior unsecured
notes due 2027. AmeriGas' other ratings and stable outlook were
unchanged given that this transaction is primarily a refinancing
with little effect on financial leverage. Proceeds from this
offering will be used to tender the remaining portion of the 7%
senior notes due 2022 and to cover related expenses.

Issuer: AmeriGas Partners, L.P.

Assignment:

-- $525 Million Senior Unsecured Notes due 2027, Assigned Ba3
(LGD4)

RATINGS RATIONALE

The proposed unsecured notes will rank equally in right of payment
with AmeriGas' existing 2024, 2025 and 2026 senior notes in a
potential default scenario and therefore, were assigned the same
Ba3 rating. The senior notes are rated one notch below the Ba2
Corporate Family Rating (CFR) because of the significant size ($525
million) of the priority-claim credit facility in AmeriGas' capital
structure.

AmeriGas' Ba2 CFR reflects its leading market position in the US
propane distribution industry, broad geographic footprint in the
US, and increasing but manageable leverage profile. The CFR also
considers the seasonal and volatile nature of propane sales, the
challenging dynamics of the propane distribution industry, which is
fragmented, highly competitive and slowly declining, and the Master
Limited Partnership (MLP) legal structure, which entails high cash
payouts to unitholders.

The stable outlook reflects AmeriGas' diversified and leading
market position in propane distribution and its manageable leverage
profile. If AmeriGas is able to sustain a debt/EBITDA ratio below
3.5x and remain committed to the lower leverage threshold, an
upgrade could be considered. If the debt/EBITDA ratio exceeds 5x,
the rating could be downgraded. Any material debt funded
acquisitions or distributions would also pressure the CFR.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Midstream
Energy published in December 2010.

AmeriGas Partners, L.P. is a publicly traded master limited
partnership that is the largest retail propane distributor in the
United States based on volumes of propane distributed annually.

into an offer letter agreement with Dr. Bilinsky.  Pursuant to the
Offer Letter, the Company agreed to provide Dr. Bilinsky with the
following compensation: (i) annual base salary of $350,000; and
(ii) eligibility to receive annual performance-based bonuses, with
an initial target bonus of 40% of his base salary.  In addition,
effective Jan. 30, 2017, the Company's board of directors granted
Dr. Bilinsky a stock option to purchase 247,322 shares of the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.46 per share,
which is equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock
on the NYSE MKT on Jan. 30, 2017.  Twenty-five percent of the
shares underlying the option vest on the one-year anniversary of
the commencement of Dr. Bilinsky's employment with the Company, and
the balance of the shares vest in equal monthly installments over
the following 36 months, subject to Dr. Bilinsky's continued
service with the Company.  In the event Dr. Bilinsky is terminated
without "cause" or resigns for "good reason" (as those terms are
defined in the Offer Letter) within one month before or 12 months
after a change in control of the Company, any shares subject to the
option that remain unvested at the time of such termination or
resignation will become vested.  Dr. Bilinsky's option grant is
subject to the terms of the Company's 2016 Equity Incentive Plan
and stock option grant notice and option agreement thereunder.  In
addition, the Offer Letter provides that if Dr. Bilinsky is
terminated without cause or resigns for good reason from his
employment with the Company, Dr. Bilinsky will be entitled to
receive severance benefits in the form of salary continuation at
the rate of his base salary in effect at the time of his
termination or resignation for a period of 12 months, subject to
the Company's timely receipt of an effective release and waiver of
claims.  Pursuant to the Offer Letter, the Company also expects to
grant Dr. Bilinsky a stock option following the completion of the
Company's next financing transaction, which option would be
exercisable for a number of shares equal to 1% of the total issued
and outstanding shares of common stock following such transaction.
Such additional stock option would have the same vesting schedule
as the stock option granted to Dr. Bilinsky on Jan. 30, 2017.

On Feb. 1, 2017, the Company entered into a consulting agreement
with Ms. Johnson, pursuant to which Ms. Johnson has agreed to
provide consulting services to the Company in the areas of
clinical, regulatory, manufacturing and other operating activities
as deemed necessary by the Company's chief executive officer and
chief operating officer.  Ms. Johnson will be entitled to receive
cash compensation in the amount of $25,000 for services performed
over an initial service period that extends for 60 days following
the date of the Consulting Agreement.  After the initial 60-day
service period, Ms. Johnson may provide additional services to the
Company on a project-by-project basis, as mutually agreed with the
Company, in exchange for compensation at an hourly rate.  The
Consulting Agreement replaces Ms. Johnson's former consulting
agreement with the Company, dated Sept. 3, 2015, as amended, under
which Ms. Johnson previously provided services as the Company's
interim chief operating officer.

The Consulting Agreement may be terminated by the Company or Ms.
Johnson for convenience, and will remain in effect until
terminated.

AMWINS GROUP: S&P Affirms Then Withdraws 'B+' CCR
-------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said it affirmed its 'B+' long-term corporate
credit rating and all its issue-level ratings on AmWINS Group LLC.
The outlook is stable.  Subsequently, S&P withdrew all its ratings
on AmWINS Group LLC at the company's request.

"The withdrawal follows AmWINS Group LLC's repayment of its

ANTELOPE VALLEY: Moody's Affirms Ba3 CFR; Outlook Negative
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirms the Ba3 assigned to Antelope
Valley Healthcare District's, CA, (AVHD) bonds. The rating action
applies to approximately $126 million of rated debt. The rating
outlook remains negative.

Affirmation of the Ba3 reflect's Antelope Valley Healthcare
District's (AVHD) fundamentally strong market position as the
largest hospital in its service area, stable cash position, and
large recipient of supplemental funding, balanced against several
significant challenges.

Major challenges include a multi-year track-record of management
turnover, volume declines over the last year, and challenged labor
relations under a prior management team that contributed to a
nursing strike during FY 2017 and the continuation of position
vacancies.

Rating Outlook

Maintenance of the negative outlook reflects ongoing utilization
and labor challenges, and the recent history of poor governance.

Factors that Could Lead to an Upgrade

Stabilization of senior management

Growth in patient volumes

Sustained improvement of operating cash flow

Factors that Could Lead to a Downgrade

Further turnover in senior management

Inability to stabilize and ultimately grow patient volumes

Material reductions of supplemental funding leading to weaker
operating cash flow

Legal Security

The bonds are secured by a revenue pledge. Key financial covenants
include a minimum days cash of 55 days and annual debt service
coverage of 1.2x.

Use of Proceeds

Not applicable

Obligor Profile

AVHD operates 420 licensed bed Antelope Valley Hospital, an acute
care hospital located in Lancaster, CA. AVHD is a political
subdivision of the State of California and is governed by a
five-member elected board of directors.

ANTERO MIDSTREAM: Moody's Alters Outlook to Stable, Affirms Ba2 CFR
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service revised Antero Midstream Partners LP's
(AMPLP) rating outlook to stable from negative and simultaneously
affirmed the partnership's Ba2 Corporate Family Rating (CFR),
Ba2-PD Probability of Default Rating (PDR), B1 senior unsecured
notes rating and SGL-3 Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating.

The outlook revision was prompted by a change in Antero Resources
Corporation's (Antero, Ba2 stable) rating outlook, which Moody's
changed to stable from negative. Antero is AMPLP's sole customer
and AMPLP's midstream assets are deeply integrated within Antero's
upstream operations. Roughly 61% of AMPLP's limited partnership
units are owned by Antero.

Issuer: Antero Midstream Partners LP

Outlook:

-- Changed to Stable from Negative

Ratings Affirmed:

-- Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed Ba2

-- Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed Ba2-PD

-- Senior Unsecured Notes, Affirmed B1 (LGD5)

-- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Affirmed SGL-3

RATINGS RATIONALE

The Ba2 CFR reflects AMPLP'S stand-alone credit profile of Ba3 with
one notch of uplift to reflect its strategic and operational
importance to Antero Resources Corporation. AMPLP has long term
fee-based gathering, compression and water handling contracts with
Antero, and substantially all of Antero's current as well as all
future acreage in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio has been
dedicated to AMPLP. The credit profile also reflects AMPLP's low
financial leverage of 2.4x and excellent organic growth prospects.
Antero is the most active E&P operator in Appalachia, one of the
lowest cost natural gas producing regions in the United States.
Antero expects to grow production in excess of a 20% annual rate
over the next several years and has significant commodity price
hedge protection. The rating is constrained by AMPLP's small scale
relative to higher rated midstream Master Limited Partnerships
(MLPs), reliance on a single customer, narrow geographic focus,
significant growth capital requirements through 2018, and higher
business risks involving its water handling and gathering and
compression businesses that are dependent on volatile drilling
cycles. The rating also considers AMPLP's limited operating
history, MLP structure as well as Antero's credit profile. Although
AMPLP's relationship with Antero is a key credit strength, AMPLP is
unlikely to be rated above Antero's rating without much greater
customer, geographic and business diversification.

AMPLP's stable outlook is consistent with Antero's stable outlook.
Greater scale and diversification will be the primary driver of any
potential upgrade. An upgrade would also depend on Antero's CFR
moving to a higher rating level. If Antero were upgraded, Moody's
could consider an upgrade for AMPLP if the partnership can achieve
annual EBITDA of about $600 million while maintaining a debt to
EBITDA ratio below 3x and a distribution coverage ratio (FFO --
Maintenance capex / Distributions) above 1.1x. The CFR could be
downgraded if leverage approaches 4x, the distribution coverage
falls below 1x or Antero's CFR is downgraded.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global
Midstream Energy published in December 2010.

Antero Midstream Partners LP is a Denver, Colorado based publicly
traded MLP with gathering, compression, and water handling and
treatment assets in northwest West Virginia and southern Ohio.


ANTERO RESOURCES: Moody's Alters Outlook to Stable, Affirms Ba2 CFR
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service revised Antero Resources Corporation's
(Antero) rating outlook to stable from negative. At the same time
Moody's affirmed Antero's Ba2 Corporate Family Rating (CFR), Ba2-PD
Probability of Default Rating (PDR), Ba3 senior unsecured notes
rating and SGL2 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating.

"The outlook change reflects Moody's expectation of lower financial
leverage and less negative free flow through 2018 relative to
Moody's prior estimates," noted Sajjad Alam, Moody's Senior
Analyst. "Facing weak industry conditions, Antero has taken a
number of measures over the past year to keep its leverage in
check, including issuing over $1 billion of equity, raising $170
million from asset sales and reducing debt with those proceeds,
while also cutting operating and capital costs."

RATINGS RATIONALE

Antero's Ba2 CFR is underpinned by its strong hedge book and
significant anticipated production growth through 2020, large and
efficient natural gas production platform in Appalachia that has
low geological risk and cost profile, and good liquidity. As of
September 30, 2016, Antero had $2.4 billion in unrealized hedging
gains and $3.1 billion of pro forma availability under its $4
billion committed revolving credit facility (pro forma for the
October $175 million equity private placement, the December $170
million asset sale and the December $600 million senior notes
offering), as well as a 61% ownership interest in Antero Midstream
Partners LP (AMPLP, Ba2), which had $6.1 billion in market
capitalization as of February 2, 2017. Antero's ratings are
constrained by its high financial leverage, significant projected
negative free cash flow generation due to an aggressive growth
plan, ongoing costs associated with committed but unutilized firm
transportation capacity and the high proportion of proved
undeveloped reserves that will require significant future capital
investments. Despite recent deleveraging measures, Antero is
exposed to natural gas prices that are pressured by continued
supply growth and the risk that the company's heavy capital
spending through 2018 may keep its leverage elevated over an
extended period.

Antero should have good liquidity through early-2018 which is
captured in the SGL-2 rating. Although the company will generate
significant negative free cash flow in 2017, it should be able to
fund the shortfall from a number of sources, including revolver
borrowings, the potential sale of additional Antero Midstream
units, potential hedge monetization, and/or equity market access.
Moody's expects the funding gap to narrow in 2018. As of September
30, 2016, Antero had $208 million of borrowings and $709 million
letters of credit outstanding leaving $3.1 billion of availability
under the revolving credit facility. The revolver matures on
November 9, 2019 and requires that Antero maintain a minimum
current ratio of 1x and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.5x -
parameters that Antero is expected to meet comfortably. The
revolver borrowing base was increased to $4.75 billion in September
2016 by Antero's lending group.

Antero's senior notes are unsecured, have upstream guarantees from
substantially all of Antero's E&P subsidiaries (excluding AMPLP),
and are subordinated to the company's $4 billion committed secured
revolving credit facility. Under Moody's Loss Given Default
Methodology, the notes are rated Ba3, one notch below the Ba2 CFR,
because of the large size of the secured credit facility, which has
a first-lien claim to Antero's assets.

The stable rating outlook reflects Antero's strong multi-year hedge
book and good liquidity. An upgrade is unlikely until there is
better alignment between Antero's operating cash flow and capital
spending and a meaningful reduction in leverage. If the company can
sustain a retained cash flow to debt ratio above 30%, an upgrade
could be considered. A downgrade is likely if Antero is unable to
sustain the ratio of retained cash flow to debt above 15% or its
capital productivity weakens materially.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global
Independent Exploration and Production Industry published in
December 2011.

Antero Resources Corporation is a leading natural gas and natural
gas liquids producer in the Marcellus and Utica shales in West
Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

ARMSTRONG WORLD: Moody's Affirms B1 Corporate Family Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Armstrong World Industries,
Inc.'s Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating to SGL-1 from SGL-2,
based on Moody's expectations of solid free cash flow generation
over the next 12 months. In a related rating action, Moody's
changed Armstrong's rating outlook to positive from stable, since
operating performance and resulting credit metrics will continue to
improve.

The following ratings/assessments are affected by this action:

Corporate Family Rating affirmed at B1;

Probability of Default Rating affirmed at B1-PD;

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility due 2021 affirmed at B1
(LGD3);

Senior Secured Term Loan A due 2021 affirmed at B1 (LGD3); and,

Senior Secured Term Loan B due 2023 affirmed at B1 (LGD3).

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating upgraded to SGL-1 from SGL-2.

Outlook: Positive

RATINGS RATIONALE

The upgrade of Armstrong's Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating to
SGL-1 from SGL-2 reflects Moody's views that the company will have
a very good liquidity profile over the next 12 months,
characterized by solid free cash flow generation. Moody's project
Armstrong generating $110 million of free cash flow (inclusive of
dividends from WAVE JV) over the next 12 months, its highest level
since 2009. Previous special dividends limited Armstrong's ability
to generate free cash flow. Cash on hand of approximately $142.5
million at 3Q16 will be sufficient to meet any shortfall in
operating cash flow to cover its basic cash requirements, as well
as support growth levels of working capital and capital
expenditures. The only near-term maturity is term loan
amortization, which remains manageable at $25 million.

The change in Armstrong's rating outlook to positive from stable
reflects Moody's expectations that operating performance and
resulting credit metrics will continue to improve, supporting
higher ratings. Fundamentals for US non-residential construction,
main driver of Armstrong's revenues and resulting earnings, remain
sound. Moody's project adjusted free cash flow-debt, a key rating
driver, will approach 11.0% over the next 12 to 18 months. Free
cash flow coverage is supported by higher operating margins, lower
interest payments, and working capital and CAPEX management
programs.

Armstrong's B1 Corporate Family Rating reflects robust operating
margins, providing an offset to its leveraged debt capital
structure. The WAVE JV is a critical earnings contributor. Over the
next 12-18 months, Moody's project EBITA margin remaining in the
high teens, and adjusted debt leverage nearing 3.0x by mid-2018.
Moody's projections focus on deleveraging from earnings growth and
only term loan amortization in Moody's forward view. ValueAct
Group, an activist shareholder, has a sizeable ownership position
and will influence future actions towards maximizing shareholder
returns.

An upgrade could ensue if Armstrong continues to benefit from
strength in its end market, resulting in performance and more
robust credit metrics that exceed Moody's forecasts and yields
adjusted free cash flow-debt sustained above 7.5%.

Stabilization of ratings could occur if Armstrong's operating
performance falls below Moody's expectations, resulting in the
following credit metrics (ratios include Moody's standard
adjustments) and characteristics:

-- EBITA-to-interest expense sustained near 3.0x

-- Debt-to-EBITDA remaining above 4.5x

-- Significant levels of dividends or share repurchases

-- Large debt-financed acquisitions

-- Deterioration in liquidity

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global
Manufacturing Companies published in July 2014.

Armstrong World Industries, Inc. ("Armstrong"), headquartered in
Lancaster, PA, is a global manufacturer and distributor of ceiling
systems used in construction and renovation of commercial and
institutional buildings. ValueAct Group is the majority shareholder
of Armstrong, owning about 17% of the company's stock. Revenues for
the 12 months through September 30, 2016 totaled approximately $1.2
billion on a pro forma basis following the spin-off of its flooring
business on April 1, 2016.

AVAYA INC: S&P Assigns 'BB-' Point-in-Time Rating on $725MM Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said that it assigned its 'BB-' point-in-time
rating to Santa Clara, Calif.-based communications solutions
provider Avaya Inc.'s $725 million DIP term loan.

Avaya has received interim bankruptcy court approval for its
debtor-in-possession (DIP) facility.  The DIP facility consists of
a $725 million credit facility, with proceeds to be used primarily
for professional fees, to cash collateralize letter–of-credit
facilities, and general corporate purposes.

This DIP loan rating is a point-in-time rating effective only for
the date of this report.  S&P will not review, modify, or provide
ongoing surveillance of the rating.  S&P based the rating on
various factors, including the bankruptcy court orders and the DIP
credit agreement as well as S&P's views on the likelihood of
emergence or, alternatively, repayment in the event of
liquidation.

   -- On Jan. 19, 2017, Avaya and substantially all of its wholly
      owned domestic subsidiaries filed for voluntary Chapter 11
      protection in the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District

      of New York.
   -- On Jan. 23, 2017, the bankruptcy court issued an interim
      order authorizing access to $425 million of the funding
      available under the facility, as per the credit agreement.
      The remaining $300 million will become available upon entry
      of a final order authorizing the full DIP term loan
      facility.

S&P's rating on a DIP facility primarily captures S&P's view of the
likelihood of full and timely cash repayment through the company's
reorganization and emergence from Chapter 11 (S&P's CRE
assessment).  The DIP rating also considers the potential for the
company to fully repay the DIP facility if it doesn't reorganize
and liquidation becomes necessary.  If S&P believes the DIP
facility is sufficiently over collateralized to be fully repaid
under S&P's liquidation scenario, S&P assigns a rating that is one
or two notches higher than the rating indicated by the CRE
assessment.  Thus:

   -- S&P's rating on the $725 million DIP loan incorporates a 'B'

      CRE assessment.  S&P applied a two-notch enhancement to the
      CRE assessment, based on its view of recovery prospects
      under a liquidation scenario, to arrive at S&P's 'BB-'
      rating on the DIP loan.

                     RATING CONSIDERATIONS

S&P assesses Avaya's business risk profile as weak, due to its
significant exposure to small and midsize (SMB) clients prone to
attrition and its weak competitive position in the mobile and video
communication markets.  For the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2016,
Avaya's indirect sales, primarily to SMB clients more susceptible
to competitive incursion than larger clients with more deeply
entrenched Avaya systems, constituted about 75% of its revenues.
Avaya's 19% revenue share in 2015 in mobile voice and client
unified communications markets trailed Microsoft and Cisco, each
with an approximate 30% share, according to Dell'Oro.  In addition,
Avaya's 1% revenue share in 2015 in video conferencing markets
trailed Cisco's 38% share, according to Dell'Oro.

S&P attributes Avaya's voluntary bankruptcy filing to a number of
factors, primarily:

   -- Faster than anticipated declines in legacy hardware and
      communications solutions, driven by reduced corporate IT
      spending; and
   -- An unsustainable capital structure consisting of
      approximately $6 billion in debt and interest burden of just

      under $450 million for fiscal-year 2015.

S&P continues to believe that Avaya has core assets and growing
next-generation solutions that remain viable, and that the
company's reorganization and emergence from bankruptcy are
supported by:

   -- Global brand recognition and diversity of customer base and
      communications solutions;
   -- Its strong Contact Center business and growing cloud-based
      communications environment solutions segment; and
   -- Separable business segments allowing for flexibility to
      reorganize.

The DIP financing consists of a $725 million term loan, with a
current authorized draw of $425 million and an additional
$300 million available upon entry of the final order by the
bankruptcy court authorizing the postpetition financing.  The
initial proceeds will be applied to refinance its asset-based
lending (ABL) revolving credit facilities and to cash collateralize
up to $150 million of letter-of-credit facilities.

Principal liquidity sources:

   -- $117 million cash and short-term investments on hand at the
      initial funding date of Jan. 23, 2017; and
   -- $425 million from the DIP term loan as of entry of the
      interim order, with an additional $300 million available
      upon entry of the final authorization order.

Principal liquidity uses:

   -- $150 million outflow from operating cash flow and first-lien

      interest payments for the remainder of 2017;
   -- $70 million to cash collateralize letters of credit;
   -- $160 million of professional fees related to the bankruptcy
      and reorganization; and
   -- $105 million to repay existing ABL revolving credit
      facilities.

The DIP credit agreement includes a number of financial maintenance
covenants, including a minimum U.S. liquidity covenant of $100
million until June 30, 2017, then $76 million thereafter. There is
also a minimum cumulative consolidated EBITDA covenant, requiring
about $120 million-$133 million per quarter in 2017, subject to
caps of $166 million in the quarter ending March 31, 2017, and $140
million in the quarter ending June 30, 2017.  S&P anticipates the
company will maintain sufficient headroom under both the liquidity
and EBITDA covenants to successfully navigate the reorganization.

The going concern coverage assessment measures the extent to which
the DIP obligation, along with any priority and pari passu claims,
would be covered by S&P's estimate of the debtor's going concern
value.  Avaya's exposure to legacy markets and SMB clients poses
potential risks, which affect S&P's going concern emergence
valuation.

The calculation of the going concern coverage ratio is the
projected enterprise value at emergence divided by estimated DIP
claims plus any priority or pari passu claims.  S&P's conservative
forecast of emergence EBITDA incorporates:

   -- High-teens percentage revenue decline and revenues of about
      $3 billion for the 12 months ending Sept. 30, 2017, compared

      to a 9% revenue decline for the 12 months ended Sept. 30,
      2016, reflecting the threat of accelerating competitive
      incursion in SMB markets;

   -- EBITDA margins of about 21% in 2017, steady with the 2016
      margin, including recurring restructuring costs of about
      $50 million-$100 million annually;

   -- 6x enterprise value multiple of EBITDA; and

   -- Sale of Avaya's Networking segment, as anticipated, and
      retention of its Contact Center business, a break from S&P's

      prefiling assumptions.

Under S&P's conservative valuation, S&P estimates coverage of the
$725 million DIP term loan facility at around 4x.

As part of S&P's DIP loan rating analysis, it also assessed the DIP
lenders' prospect for full recovery of principal in the event that
the company's efforts to reorganize are unsuccessful and that
bankruptcy converts to liquidation.  For the purposes of this
analysis, S&P considers the orderly liquidation value of the
company's assets for the collateral securing the DIP loans.  S&P
applies a two-notch enhancement to the CRE, due to significant
overcollateralization, which gives S&P high confidence in full
recovery.  S&P's conservative valuation of collateral covers the
DIP obligation by approximately a 2x margin.  S&P applied a
conservative estimate of balance sheet assets under a distressed
sale scenario, exclusive of assets divested with the sale of the
contact center and networking business.

Assumptions of the liquidation analysis include:

   -- An estimated distressed Contact Center business sale value
      of about $1.75 billion (approximately 50% of third-party
      valuations as of Dec. 4, 2016,) under S&P's stressed
      scenario, in which operating weakness results in
low–single-
      digit percentage Contact Center revenue declines from about
      $1 billion in revenues for the 12 months ended Sept. 30,
      2016, and as a result of lower revenues and restructuring
      costs, EBITDA margins subside by about 500 basis points from

      the Contact Center business' approximate 30% S&P Global
      Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin as of Sept. 30, 2016.  No
      residual value available from the stock pledge of
      international subsidiaries due to structurally senior
      foreign pension liabilities of about $583 million.

   -- Estimated liquidation and administrative expenses of 5% of
      the gross proceeds.

Given these aforementioned assumptions, S&P estimates net proceeds
available for distribution of about $1.4 billion, which would
provide for substantial overcollateralization of the $725 million
DIP loan around 2x.

Additional structural features--including superpriority claim
status, subject only to standard carve-outs that do not
significantly affect the coverage ratios and tight financial
maintenance covenants that S&P anticipates will mitigate erosion of
enterprise or liquidation value, combined with its expectation for
significant overcollateralization--support the application of a
two-notch raise in S&P's underlying CRE assessment of 'B', which
results in an overall DIP term loan facility rating of 'BB-'.


AZURE MIDSTREAM: S&P Affirms 'CCC+' CCR; Outlook Negative
---------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said that it affirmed its 'CCC+' corporate
credit and senior secured issue-level ratings on Azure Midstream
Energy LLC.  The outlook is negative.  The '3' recovery rating is
unchanged and reflects S&P's expectation for meaningful (upper half
of the 30%-50% range) recovery in the event of a payment default.

Partners and its subsidiaries filed for Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code on Jan. 30, 2017.  Though the group credit profile
for the Azure enterprise has deteriorated, the Chapter 11 filing
does not affect the ratings on Azure Midstream Energy LLC.  S&P's
forecast assumed no distributions from the partnership since
Partners announced a temporary distribution suspension on Feb. 1,
2016.  In S&P's view, Azure's credit measures will remain pressured
due to low commodity prices and weak demand where it operates.
While low commodity prices do not directly weaken Azure's cash
flows due to its largely fee-based contract profile, it has
resulted in low utilization rates across Azure's asset base, and
S&P expects volumes to remain below minimum volume commitment (MVC)
levels.  In S&P's view, the rating on Azure benefits from the cash
flows from its MVCs.  S&P notes that Azure's MVC is with a joint
venture between Royal Dutch Shell PLC (formerly BG Group PLC) and
EXCO Resources Inc.  EXCO's creditworthiness continues to be
challenged, and Shell is not responsible for any EXCO
nonperformance in paying the MVCs.  If the counterparties to those
MVCs do not make those volume deficiency payments or there are
delays, Azure's liquidity could deteriorate and it would have less
cash to sweep and reduce debt. With the term loan maturing in 2018,
refinancing risk is elevated given that a large percentage of the
MVCs expire by 2018.  If natural gas prices remain at or below $3
per million Btu (mmbtu), 2019 EBITDA could be materially lower.

The highly leveraged financial risk profile reflects S&P's
expectation of adjusted debt leverage of about 5x.  S&P's base case
assumes a natural gas price of about $3/mmBtu over the next few
years.  S&P's West Texas Intermediate price forecast is
$50 per barrel.  S&P projects 2017 throughput volumes to be flat
compared to 2016 levels.  S&P's base-case forecast assumes minimal
capital spending resulting in a free operating cash surplus of
about $35 million.

Although S&P forecasts liquidity sources to exceed uses by over
1.2x, it limits its liquidity assessment to less than adequate due
to qualitative factors, such as the ability to withstand
high-impact events and its standing in the capital markets.

Principal liquidity sources:

   -- Funds from operations of about $40 million.

Principal liquidity uses:

   -- Total capital spending of about $6 million.

Covenants

Although the term loan has no covenants, the revolving credit
facility has a springing covenant that includes a maximum total
leverage ratio of 4.5x and a minimum interest coverage ratio of
2.5x.  S&P forecasts only limited cushion during 2017.

The negative outlook reflects S&P's view that liquidity could
weaken over the next 12-24 months if commodity prices do not
improve or if counterparties to the MVCs do not meet their
contractual agreements.  S&P's forecast assumes 2017 adjusted
leverage of 4.5x-5x.

S&P could lower the ratings if liquidity deteriorates or if it
expects the company to restructure its debt or default within the
next 12 months.  This could occur if commodity prices weaken or if
the company can't refinance its debt before maturity.

S&P could revise the outlook to stable if the company repays a
greater percentage of its outstanding debt balance.  This could
occur if commodity prices improve such that volumes exceed MVC
levels and if adjusted debt to EBITDA stays below 5x.

   -- S&P Global Ratings' simulated default scenario contemplates
      a default stemming from poor commodity prices resulting in
      volumetric declines and the inability of customers to meet
      their contractual agreements.

   -- S&P's analysis assumes that the revolving credit facility is

      85% drawn at default.

   -- Simulated year of default: 2018
   -- EBITDA at emergence: $45 million
   -- EBITDA multiple: 6x

   -- Net enterprise value (after 5% administrative costs):
      $260 million
   -- Revolving credit facility claims: $35 million
   -- Recovery expectations: Not applicable
   -- Term loan claims: $340 million
      -- Recovery expectations: 50%-70% (upper half of the range)

Note: All debt amounts include six months of prepetition interest.


BERNARD L. MADOFF: Victims' Recovery Tops $9.7-Bil. with New Payout
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The American Bankruptcy Institute, citing Jonathan Stempel of
Reuters, reported that Bernard Madoff's victims will soon recoup
another $252 million from the trustee unwinding the swindler's
firm, boosting their total recovery to $9.72 billion.

According to the report, the latest payout by trustee Irving Picard
was made possible by settlements in the second half of 2016 with
people accused either of facilitating Madoff's fraud or withdrawing
more money from his firm than they deserved.

This included money from a settlement with the family of Stanley
Chais, who prior to his 2010 death managed money for Hollywood
clients like director Steven Spielberg, and was accused by Picard
of excess withdrawals, the report related.

Picard's eighth distribution started on Feb. 2, 2017, and will go
to customers who once had 953 accounts at Bernard L. Madoff
Investment Securities LLC, the report further related.  Checks will
range from $271.80 to about $42.3 million, the report said.

Once the distribution is finished, 1,335 Madoff accounts with valid
claims will be fully paid off, including all claims of $1.25
million or less, the report added.

                    About Bernard L. Madoff

Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC and Bernard L. Madoff
orchestrated the largest Ponzi scheme in history, with losses
topping US$50 billion.  On Dec. 15, 2008, the Honorable Louis A.
Stanton of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
New
York granted the application of the Securities Investor Protection
Corporation for a decree adjudicating that the customers of BLMIS
are in need of the protection afforded by the Securities Investor
Protection Act of 1970.  The District Court's Protective Order (i)
appointed Irving H. Picard, Esq., as trustee for the liquidation
of
BLMIS, (ii) appointed Baker & Hostetler LLP as his counsel, and
(iii) removed the SIPA Liquidation proceeding to the Bankruptcy
Court (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Adv. Pro. No. 08-01789) (Lifland, J.).  Mr.
Picard has retained AlixPartners LLP as claims agent.

On April 13, 2009, former BLMIS clients filed an involuntary
Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition against Bernard Madoff (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. 09-11893).  The petitioning creditors -- Blumenthal &
Associates Florida General Partnership, Martin Rappaport
Charitable
Remainder Unitrust, Martin Rappaport, Marc Cherno,  and Steven
Morganstern -- assert US$64 million in claims against Mr. Madoff
based on the balances contained in the last statements they got
from BLMIS.

On April 14, 2009, Grant Thornton UK LLP as receiver placed Madoff
Securities International Limited in London under bankruptcy
protection pursuant to Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
(Bankr. S.D. Fla. 09-16751).  The Chapter 15 case was later
transferred to Manhattan.  In June 2009, Judge Lifland approved
the consolidation of the Madoff SIPA proceedings and the
bankruptcy case.

Judge Denny Chin of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York on June 29, 2009, sentenced Mr. Madoff to 150
years of life imprisonment for defrauding investors in United
States v. Madoff, No. 09-CR-213 (S.D.N.Y.).

From recoveries in lawsuits coupled with money advanced by SIPC,
Mr. Picard has commenced distributions to victims.  As of Dec. 14,
2016, the SIPA Trustee has recovered more than $11.486 billion
and, following the eight interim distribution in January 2017,
will
raise total distributions to approximately $9.72 billion, which
includes more than $839.6 million in advances committed by SIPC.

BLOCK COMMUNICATIONS: Moody's Rates New $350MM Unsec. Notes 'B1'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 rating to Block
Communication Inc.'s proposed $350 million unsecured notes
issuance, and a Baa3 rating to Block's proposed senior secured
credit facility, consisting of a $90 million revolver and a $150
million term loan B. Proceeds from the transaction will be used to
refinance the company's existing secured term loan B and unsecured
notes. The assignment of the Baa3 senior secured rating reflects
increased cushion provided to the secured lenders by the higher
amount of unsecured debt taken by the company. Block's Ba3
corporate family rating (CFR) and Ba3-PD probability of default
rating remain unchanged. The stable outlook remains unchanged.

Assignments:

Issuer: Block Communications, Inc.

-- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Assigned Baa3 (LGD2)

-- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Assigned B1 (LGD4)

Unchanged:

-- Corporate Family Rating, Unchanged at Ba3

-- Probability of Default Rating, Unchanged at Ba3-PD

-- Outlook unchanged at Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE

The proposed transaction will favorably extend the maturity profile
of Block, as the revolver will be extended four years to 2022 and
the term loan will be extended three years, to 2024. The notes will
also be extended five years to 2025.

Block's Ba3 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) reflects a diversified
mix of revenues from four distinct businesses including cable,
telecommunications, publishing, and broadcast. Its largest
business, cable, is growing and profitable, fueled by a rise in
broadband penetration and demand for greater bandwidth and speed.
Block's superior network and strong market position in broadband is
reflected in very strong key operating performance metrics
including penetration rates, growth rates, and revenues per homes
passed. In addition, the company's broadcast business is healthy,
being driven by growth in high quality retransmission fees that now
represent almost 10% of total revenues, and are reducing the
company's exposure to cyclical ad demand. The company also benefits
from good liquidity with positive free cash flow, good capacity
with an undrawn revolver, a favorable maturity profile, and ample
covenant cushion.

Block's credit profile is challenged, however, by moderately high
leverage (Moody's adjusted debt-to-EBITDA) of roughly 4.9x (LTM
September 30, 2016) and the burden of persistent and substantial
annual losses in the company's newspaper operations (representing
close to 20% of total revenues). With significant fixed costs and
on and off balance sheet obligations related to union pensions and
benefits, there is limited equity value in the business (if any)
leaving no good near-term exit options. In addition, the company
has a weak market position in cable video pay-TV which is
experiencing a secular decline. The weakness is being driven by
what Moody's believes are irreversible secular changes and advances
in digital technology and mobile wireless applications that are
creating a wide variety of competing options that allow consumers
to shift their viewing patterns to new, non-linear distribution
platforms.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations that
debt-to-EBITDA will improve to near 4.5x (including Moody's
standard adjustments) by the end of 2017 with low to mid-single
digit percentage free cash flow-to-debt. Moody's expects revenue
and EBITDA growth in cable and broadcasting. The outlook
incorporates expectations for low, single digit-cable subscriber
losses and continued losses in the newspaper segment in line with
recent history. The outlook does not incorporate significant
shareholder distributions or another significant debt financed
acquisition.

Ratings could be upgraded if newspaper revenue stabilizes and
EBITDA turns positive, cable video subscriber trends and operating
performance turns positive, leverage (Moody's adjusted consolidated
debt-to-EBITDA) is sustained comfortably below 3.0x, and free cash
flow-to-debt ratio is sustained above 10%. An upgrade would also be
considered with the maintenance of good liquidity as well as a low
probability of near term event risks or material organizational
changes including regulation, competition, capital structure, or
the business model.

Ratings could be downgraded if free cash flow turns negative
(excluding temporary and extraordinary CAPEX and investment),
leverage (Moody's adjusted debt-to-EBITDA) is sustained above 4.5x.
A negative rating action would also be considered if liquidity
weakened or operating performance in any of the businesses
weakened. Moody's would also consider a negative rating action if
there were material and negative changes in regulation,
competition, financial policy, capital structure, or capital
allocation such that credit risk rose meaningfully.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global Pay
Television - Cable and Direct-to-Home Satellite Operators published
in January 2017.

A privately held diversified media company founded in 1900, Block
Communications, Inc. ("Block") has operations in cable television
and telecommunications (roughly 70% of LTM ended 9/30/2016
revenue), newspaper publishing (19%), and television broadcasting
(11%). The company's cable operations are branded Buckeye Broadband
(serving Toledo and Erie County Ohio and parts of southeast
Michigan) and MaxxSouth serving north and central Mississippi and
north west Alabama. Together, Block's cable systems pass nearly
400,000 homes and serve close to 350,000 PSU's. Block's two daily
metropolitan newspapers, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in Pittsburgh,
PA and the Blade in Toledo, OH, have a combined daily and weekend
paid circulation of over 600,000. Its telecommunications systems
include Buckeye Telesystem Inc. and Block Line Systems, LLC which,
together, serve over 20,000 customer locations. It also owns and
operates five full-power television stations carrying 8 broadcast
network affiliated channels (including NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX,
among others) in Lima, OH, Louisville, KY, Boise, ID, and
Champaign-Springfield-Decatur, IL. The company maintains its
headquarters in Toledo and reported revenue of more than $560
million as of LTM ended 9/30/2016.


BLOCK COMMUNICATIONS: S&P Rates New $350MM Unsec. Notes 'B+'
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'B+' issue-level rating and '5'
recovery rating to Block Communications Inc.'s proposed
$350 million senior unsecured notes due 2025.  The '5' recovery
rating indicates S&P's expectation of modest (10%-30%; higher end
of the range) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment
default.  The new notes will be used to repay its existing $250
million 7.25% senior notes and pay down the $269 million balance on
its existing $275 million term loan.

In addition, S&P assigned its 'BB+' issue-level rating and '1'
recovery rating to Block's new $150 million senior secured term
loan B due 2024.  The '1' recovery rating indicates S&P's
expectation of very high (90%-100%) recovery for lenders in the
event of a payment default.  The new term loan will be used to
repay the remaining $269 million balance on the company's existing
$275 million term loan.

At the same time, S&P raised the issue-level rating on Block's
unsecured debt to 'B+' from 'B' and revised the recovery ratings on
this debt to '5' (higher end of the 10%-30% range)from '6'.  The
higher rating and revised recovery rating reflect the lower amount
of secured debt at the company because of the proposed transaction,
which improves recovery prospects for unsecured creditors under
S&P's hypothetical default scenario.

S&P's 'BB-' corporate credit rating and stable outlook on Block are
unaffected, because S&P expects net debt leverage to continue to be
in the low-4x area.

                        RECOVERY ANALYSIS

Key analytical factors

   -- S&P's simulated default scenario contemplates increasingly
      negative EBITDA in the newspaper segment and declining
      EBITDA at the cable TV operations that generate negative
      discretionary cash flow and result in an assumed payment
      default in 2021.

   -- S&P has valued the company on a going concern basis using a
      6.0x multiple of S&P's projected emergence EBITDA.  The 6.0x

      valuation multiple is on the lower end of the typical 6x-7x
      cable multiple because about 25% of the company's EBITDA is
      from lower-multiple businesses (broadcasting and telecom).

Simulated default assumptions

   -- Simulated year of default: 2021
   -- EBITDA at emergence: $70 million
   -- EBITDA multiple: 6x

Simplified waterfall

   -- Net enterprise value (after 5% admin. costs): $333 million
   -- Secured debt claim: $228 million
     -- Recovery expectations: 90% to 100%
   -- Unsecured debt claims: $363 million
     -- Recovery expectations: 10% to 30%

CALEXICO COMMUNITY RDA: S&P Lowers Rating on 2011 TABs to 'B'
-------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its rating to 'B' from 'BBB' on Calexico
Community Redevelopment Agency (RDA), Calif.'s tax allocation
bonds, or TABs (school district), series 2011 (Merged Central
Business District and Residential Redevelopment Project Area), and
placed it on CreditWatch with negative implications.

At the same time, S&P Global Ratings placed its 'A-' ratings on the
Calexico Community RDA's outstanding TABs and the Successor Agency
to the Calexico Community RDA's Merged Central Business District
and Residential Redevelopment Project Area tax allocation refunding
bonds and TABs on CreditWatch with negative implications.

"The downgrade and CreditWatch placement on the series 2011 school
district bonds reflect our view of the agency's unscheduled
Feb. 1, 2017, draw on the bonds' debt service reserve fund and of
the likelihood of a further downgrade within the 90-day CreditWatch
period," said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Sarah Sullivant.
S&P believes that, in the absence of a resolution to the dispute
among the Imperial County Auditor Controller, which is not a party
to the bond indenture, and the Calexico Unified School District on
the one hand, and the California Dept. of Finance (DOF) and the
agency, on the other, another unscheduled draw on the bonds'
reserve will occur on Aug 1, 2017, and the bonds will likely
default within one year.

"The CreditWatch placement on the outstanding prior-lien TABs,
including the refunding TABs, reflects our view of the uncertainty
regarding the agency's future cash flow," continued Ms. Sullivant.
Unlike the series 2011 school district TABs, the prior-lien TABs
are not secured by a lien on pass-through payments.  S&P
understands that the agency has not to date experienced any
interruption in revenue to pay the prior-lien TABs.

There is at least a one-in-two likelihood of a negative rating
action within 90 days.  A multiple-notch downgrade on the 2011
school district bonds is possible should the agency, Imperial
County, the school district, and the DOF fail to resolve the
impasse affecting the distribution of pledged revenues within the
next several months, increasing the likelihood of a draw on the
debt service reserve fund on Aug 1.  S&P will continue to monitor
the matter with particular attention paid to near term cash flows.
Alternately, S&P could remove the ratings from CreditWatch if the
dispute were resolved, as S&P believes pledged pass-through
payments are sufficient to pay bondholders absent disagreements
between the above parties.

CARTEL MANAGEMENT: Mavericks Canceled Amid Financial Woes
---------------------------------------------------------
The American Bankruptcy Institute, citing John Clarke of The New
York Times, reported that the Mavericks surfing competition, the
nation's premier big wave event, has been canceled this year after
organizers were sued by its sponsor and filed for bankruptcy, event
representatives said on Feb. 3, 2017.

According to the NY Times, the cancellation comes one week after
Red Bull, Mavericks' broadcaster and only sponsor, filed a lawsuit
against the event's promotional and management groups, Cartel
Management and Titans of Mavericks, for breach of contract, seeking
$400,000.

In its bankruptcy filings, Cartel faces claims of about $1.9
million and Titans of Mavericks faces more than $776,335, the
report cited court records.

"The event is totally done this year," Brian Overfelt, one of the
three Mavericks Invitational board members, told the NY Times.
"It's impossible.  There's no way this event will happen. We were
completely and totally blindsided."

Jeff Clark, the event's founder and a well-known big wave surfer,
was shocked and frustrated by the news, which he first learned of
from news reports, the NY Times said.  He said there was a
disconnect between the surf community and event organizers, who
lacked "commitment to this sacred place in their hearts and souls,"
the report added.

"Our primary focus has always been to support the men and women who
surf Mavericks and to preserve the sanctity of the wave and support
our local community," Clark told the news agency.  "We have
sacrificed much to create a stage for the world's best big wave
surfers. We are disappointed."

Cartel Management, Inc., filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. C.D.
Cal. Case No. 17-11179) on Jan. 31, 2017, and is represented by
David L. Neale, Esq., at Levene, Neale, Bender, Yoo & Brill LLP, in
Los Angeles, California.  At the time of filing, the company had
estimated assets of $500,000 to $1 million and estimated
liabilities of $1 million to $10 million.  The petition was signed
by Griffin Guess, president.


CATASYS INC: Contracts with Largest U.S. Health Insurance Company
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Catasys, Inc., announced that it has contracted with the largest
national health insurance company in the United States to implement
its OnTrak solution for anxiety, depression and substance use
disorders (OnTrak -U).  OnTrak-U is anticipated to launch in the
first half of 2017 in eight states where OnTrak is already
available to members of other leading health plans, with a case
rate fee when members enroll plus a sharing of savings with the
health plan.

Catasys eligible members average approximately $30,000 in costs to
health insurers per year, and Catasys has been shown to reduce
inpatient and emergency room utilization, driving an approximately
50 percent average reduction in total health insurers' costs for
enrolled members from the year prior to enrollment.

This contract will leverage Catasys' proprietary analytic models to
identify impactable members to engage and is anticipated to
significantly contribute towards the Company's goal of Equivalent
Lives covered under contract of 20 million by the end of 2017.  The
Company has signed agreements to provide its OnTrak solution to
several health plans, including some of the largest in the United
States (http://catasys.com/clients.html).

"This is an exciting opportunity to expand and leverage our
existing operations in several states and significantly increase
the number of eligible members for our OnTrak solution.  This
represents the first multi- state agreement which will use our
analytic models for our expanded product offering covering
high-cost members suffering from anxiety, depression or substance
use disorders.  We are very pleased with the reception our advanced
proprietary solutions are receiving in the market," stated Rick
Anderson, president and COO of Catasys.

"This particular health plan has an exceptional track record of
innovation and providing care to its members.  We are excited to
partner with them and look forward to demonstrating the value of
our solution," concluded Mr. Anderson.

                       About Catasys Inc.

Based in Los Angeles, California, Hythiam, Inc., n/k/a Catasys,
Inc., is a healthcare services management company, providing
through its Catasys(R) subsidiary specialized behavioral health
management services for substance abuse to health plans.

Catasys reported a net loss of $7.22 million on $2.70 million of
revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, compared with a net
loss of $27.3 million on $2.03 million of revenues for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2014.

Rose, Snyder & Jacobs LLP, in Encino, California, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements for
the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, citing that the Company has continued
to incur significant operating losses and negative cash flows from
operations during the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, and continues to
have negative working capital at Dec. 31, 2015.  These conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern.


CBS RADIO: S&P Puts 'B+' CCR on CreditWatch Positive
----------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said that it placed its ratings, including the
'B+' corporate credit rating, on New York City-based CBS Radio Inc.
on CreditWatch with positive implications.

CBS Radio will merge with Entercom Communications Corp., and S&P
expects the transaction to close in the second half of 2017.  S&P
expects that the combined company will have somewhat improved scale
and diversity, as well as some expense savings from eliminating
duplicate facilities and functions.

"The CreditWatch placement reflects our expectation that the
pending merger will slightly improve CBS Radio Inc.'s scale,
diversity, and pro forma leverage," said S&P Global Ratings' credit
analyst Jeanne Shoesmith.  "We expect that the combined company's
pro forma leverage will be about 4x--our stated upgrade threshold
for the 'B+' corporate credit rating."  The combined entity will
have 244 stations in 47 markets, including 23 of the top 25
markets; and about $1.7 billion in revenue, making it the second
largest radio station operator in the U.S. on a revenue basis.

CBS Radio will also be effectively spun off from CBS Corp., with
CBS shareholders having the opportunity to exchange shares for CBS
Radio shares.

S&P will resolve the CreditWatch placement immediately following
the closing of the merger, which S&P expects to occur in the second
half of 2017.  Assuming the transaction closes as planned and the
combined company's operating performance remains relatively stable,
S&P will likely raise the corporate credit rating on the combined
company to 'BB-'.  If the transaction doesn't close, S&P would
likely affirm its 'B+' corporate credit rating on CBS Radio.



CCC OF FAIRPLAY: Plan to be Funded Through Sale of Assets
---------------------------------------------------------
CCC of Fairplay, LLC, and CCC Land Company, LLC, filed with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for South Carolina a joint disclosure
statement dated Feb. 1, 2017, referring to the Debtors' plan of
liquidation.

The Plan will be funded through the sale of all of the real estate
and certain related assets of each of the Debtors to Mason Jar 101,
LLC, or its designee or assignee agreement or any eventual
successful bidder at a court ordered, approved, and conducted sale
of the assets of the Debtors, together with the effective
collection and liquidation of the remaining assets of the Debtors
by the estate representative into cash for the benefit of creditors
of the Debtors.  

A reserve fund, in the amount of $100,000, will be carved from the
funds ordinarily due to the secured creditors, from the proceeds
resulting from the sale of the Debtors' property udner the purchase
agreement to pay all unclassified claims and Class 1 claims.  After
all the claims are paid and satisfied, any unused portion of the
reserve fund will be paid to TD Bank.  The Debtors believe that
sufficient funds will exist to satisfy the administrative claims,
professional claims, priority tax claims and priority non-tax
claims under the Plan.

The Class 4 claims of insider unsecured creditors are unimpaired by
the Plan.  Insider Unsecured Creditors, in support of the
successful completion of the Plan, waive and fully completely
release all of their claims, effective on the later of: (i) the
closing date, or (ii) the Effective Date.  However, Insider
Unsecured Creditors will retain their claims, as of the
confirmation date, until all distributions have been made as
provided in the Plan.

                      About CCC of Fairplay

CCC of Fairplay, LLC, and CCC Land Company, LLC, are each owned in
equal interests by Jeffrey Neil Shore and Jodi Carson Shore.

CCC Land was formed in 2010 to acquire the real property, located
at 207 Farm House Lane, Fair Play, South Carolina, then being used
as an existing assisted living facility.

CCC Fairplay was formed as the entity to operate the facility and

2016.  The Debtor seeks to hire Skinner Law Firm, LLC, as its legal
counsel.

The Office of the U.S. Trustee disclosed in a court filing that no
official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in the
Chapter 11 case of CCC of Fairplay, LLC.

granted the application of the U.S. Trustee for the appointment of
A. Dale Watson of the State Long Term Care Ombudsman Program as the
patient care ombudsman for CCC of Fairplay, LLC.


CECCHI GORI: Sued Over Scorsese Film Payment-Right Transfers
------------------------------------------------------------
Katy Stech, writing for The Wall Street Journal Pro Bankruptcy,
reported that Vittorio Cecchi Gori, who owns U.S. production
company, Cecchi Gori Pictures, is being sued for transferring the
right to payments from that film and others to two close advisers
more than a decade after his business empire collapsed.

According to the report, in court papers, Cecchi Gori Pictures
lawyers accused Mr. Gori and two advisers of transferring of the
payment rights to movie scripts valued at roughly $9.6 million to a
new company.

The April 2015 transfer kept the production company's money out of
the hands of court-appointed liquidators who took over Mr. Gori's
business holdings a decade ago and are still looking for money to
pay off his debts, according to the lawsuit filed Feb. 1, 2017, in
U.S. Bankruptcy Court in San Jose, Calif., the report related.

Amid the lengthy unwinding of Mr. Gori's business holdings, two
colleagues, Giovanni Nappi and Gabriele Israilovici, took
"advantage of the dormant state of [Cecchi Gori Pictures]" and told
Hollywood players that they had taken ownership of the company's
assets, the lawsuit said, the report further related.

In response to the lawsuit, Mr. Gori denied wrongdoing in an email
but acknowledged that there has been an ownership dispute in recent
years, the report said.

The lawsuit, which was filed by lawyers who put Cecchi Gori
Pictures into bankruptcy in December, called for the two men to
return the rights to the company's scripts and other assets, the
report added.

                     About Cecchi Gori

Cecchi Gori Pictures has filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. N.D.
Cal. Case No. 16-53499) on Dec. 14, 2016, and is represented
by Ori Katz, Esq., in San Francisco, California.

At the time of filing, the Debtor had $1 million to $10 million in
estimated assets and $1 million to $10 million in estimated
liabilities.

The petition was signed by Andrew De Camara, chief executive
officer.

The Debtor hired Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton, LLP, as
bankruptcy counsel.


CHARLOTTE RUSSE: S&P Lowers CCR to CCC+ on Potential Restructuring
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its corporate credit rating on Charlotte
Russe Inc. to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.  The outlook is negative.

At the same time, S&P lowered the issue-level ratings on the
$150 million first-lien term loan to 'CCC+' from 'B-' and on the
$80 million first-lien term loan to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.  S&P's '4'
recovery rating on the term loans reflects its expectation for
average recovery in the event of default, at the low end of the 30%
to 50% range.

"The downgrade reflects our view that the company's suppressed debt
trading prices and lack of prospects for a strong, sustained
rebound could lead the company to pursue a potential debt
restructuring," said credit analyst Andrew Bove.  "We believe the
existing capital structure of this entity is unsustainable in the
long-term given our expectation for negative free operating cash
flow beginning in fiscal 2017, and our view that the apparel
industry will only be more challenged over the next 12-24 months."

The negative outlook on Charlotte Russe Inc. reflects S&P's belief
that there is a possibility that the company could pursue a debt
restructuring given the distressed market prices of the company's
debt, and also S&P's unfavorable long-term view of the specialty
apparel industry.  S&P believes Charlotte Russe could use available
liquidity to fund a distressed exchange with term loan lenders if
it decides to pursue that option.

S&P could lower the ratings, including the corporate credit rating,
to 'CC' if the company publicly announces a restructuring. S&P
could also lower the corporate credit rating to 'SD' if a
restructuring occurs without a pre-announcement.

Although unlikely, S&P could raise the ratings if the company
meaningfully strengthens performance and our view of its standing
in credit market improves.  S&P would also need to believe that the
prospects for a debt restructuring are unlikely.



CHARTER SCHOOL: S&P Hikes Rating on 2010A/B Education Bonds to BB+
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its rating on Yonkers Economic
Development Corp., N.Y.'s series 2010A and 2010B educational
revenue bonds, issued for Charter School of Educational Excellence
(CSEE), to 'BB+' from 'BB'.  The outlook is stable.

"We raised the rating based on our recently published U.S.
Not-for-Profit Charter Schools methodology as well as on the
school's improved liquidity in recent years," said S&P Global
Ratings credit analyst Brian Marshall.

S&P assessed CSEE's enterprise profile as vulnerable characterized
by nominally low enrollment and waitlist compared with that of
higher rated peers and good academics.  S&P assessed CSEE's
financial profile as adequate supported by recent positive
operating performance, good unrestricted reserves, and sufficient
maximum annual debt service (MADS) coverage, coupled with improving
liquidity that has recovered from cash flow problems in recent
history.  S&P believes that combined, these credit factors lead to
an indicative stand-alone credit profile of 'bbb-'.

In S&P's opinion, the 'BB+' rating on the school's bonds better
reflects CSEE's high debt burden relative to that of peers along
with potential risks related to a planned high school expansion
that could involve new debt.

Credit strengths that support the rating include:

   -- Growing enrollment over three years, with a fall 2016
      enrollment of 699 and a slightly below-average wait list of
      346;

   -- Good academic performance, with CSEE outperforming the
      Yonkers Public Schools and being named a Reward School by
      New York State for two consecutive years; and

   -- A history of positive operating performance over the past
      two years, with an $881,000 surplus in fiscal 2016, and 2x
      maximum annual debt service (MADS) coverage that S&P
      considers solid.

Offsetting these strengths, in S&P's view, are the school's:

   -- History of volatile cash, with prior delays in district
      payments and cost overruns (although fiscal 2016 days' cash
      is solid at around 97, with no delays in district payments);

   -- Plans to expand within two-to-three years to include a high
      school, which could involve new debt or use of internal
      funds to develop a high school facility, and which will
      require charter authorizer approval; and

   -- Inherent risk associated with charter reauthorization, given

      that the bonds' final maturity exceeds the current charter's

      time horizon.

CSEE is in Yonkers, within Westchester County, N.Y., and serves
about 699 students in kindergarten through eighth grade.  Proceeds
of the $12.4 million 2010 bonds were used to construct the new
school building and refinance the cost of improvements to the
existing facility.  The bonds are a general obligation of CSEE,
with a debt service reserve fund and a mortgage of the school's
facilities providing additional security.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that the school will
maintain its current demand and good academic performance, and that
its enterprise and financial profiles will remain on par with other
'BB+' rated peers over S&P's one-year outlook horizon.

S&P could lower the rating should additional debt plans cause
financial metrics to fall to levels no longer commensurate with the
rating, or if a recurrence in payment delays from the district
causes liquidity to fall materially to levels no longer consistent
with the rating level.

If the school can demonstrate a trend of maintaining solid
liquidity, with timely payments from the local district and MADS
coverage remaining at its current level, coupled with a moderating
debt burden, S&P would consider a positive rating action.


CHOUDRIES INC: Ch. 11 Trustee Hires Gilbert as Auctioneer

31, 2015, consisting of oil and natural gas liquids and
approximately 17% consisting of natural gas.  During 2015, the
Company added proved reserves of 3,542 MBOE through extensions and
discoveries, had downward revisions of 26,158 MBOE and had sales of
minerals-in-place of 472 MBOE.  The Company also had average net
production of 15.8 MBOE per day in 2015, which implies a reserve
life of approximately 8.1 years.

Clayton Williams reported a net loss of $98.2 million in 2015
following net income of $43.9 million in 2014.

As of Sept. 30, 2016, Clayton Williams had $1.43 billion in total
assets, $1.25 billion in total liabilities and $182.8 million in
stockholders' equity.

                          *     *     *

In July 2016, S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'CCC+' corporate
credit rating on Clayton Williams Energy.  The ratings reflect
S&P's assessment that the company's debt leverage is unsustainable,
debt to EBITDA expected to average above 15x over the next three
years.  The ratings also reflect S&P's assessment of liquidity as
adequate.

In January 2017, Moody's Investors Service placed the ratings of
Clayton Williams Energy (Caa3) under review for upgrade following
the announcement of a definitive agreement to be acquired by Noble
Energy (Baa3 stable) in a transaction valued at $3.2 billion,
including the assumption of Clayton Williams' approximately $500
million of net debt.  The review for upgrade is based on the
potential benefit of Clayton Williams being supported by the
stronger credit profile and greater financial flexibility of Noble.

COMBIMATRIX CORP: Adopts 2017 Executive Performance Bonus Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to the authority granted under the CombiMatrix Corporation
2006 Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee of
CombiMatrix Corporation adopted a 2017 Executive Performance Bonus
Plan, effective as of Jan. 1, 2017, to provide certain members of
the Company's senior management the opportunity to earn incentive
bonuses based on the Company's attainment of specific financial
performance objectives for 2017.  The Compensation Committee
determined that the Company's chief executive officer, Mark
McDonough, and the Company's chief financial officer, Scott Burell,
are eligible to receive such awards under the 2017 Bonus Plan.

A participant's bonus under the 2017 Bonus Plan will consist of a
cash incentive and will be based on the participant's achievement
of three separate components as follows: (i) 30% tied to the
achievement of the Company's 2017 revenue target as determined by
the Company's Compensation Committee; (ii) 30% tied to the
Company's 2017 EBITDA loss target as determined by the Company's
Compensation Committee; and (iii) 40% tied to the Company's 2017
operating cash burn target as determined by the Company's
Compensation Committee.  Also each component includes three levels
of achievement in order to encourage higher levels of performance.

If the Company achieves 95% of the target revenue for the first
half of 2017 and/or the second half of 2017, the target revenue
portion of the cash bonus for the CEO and CFO will equal $16,380
and $9,945, respectively, for each applicable measurement period.
If the Company achieves 100% of the target revenue for the first
half of 2017 and/or the second half of 2017, the target revenue
portion of the cash bonus for the CEO and CFO will equal $32,760
and $19,890, respectively, for each applicable measurement period.
If the Company achieves 110% of the target revenue for the first
half of 2017 and/or the second half of 2017, the target revenue
portion of the cash bonus for the CEO and CFO will equal $36,036
and $21,879, respectively, for each applicable measurement period
(and the target revenue portion of the cash bonus will be computed
on a pro rata basis between 95% and 100% of the target achieved and
between 100% and 110% of the target achieved).  If actual targets
achieved exceed 110%, the applicable bonuses will remain fixed at
the 110% level.

If the Company achieves 100% of the 2017 EBITDA loss target for the
first half of 2017 and/or the second half of 2017, the EBITDA loss
target portion of the cash bonus for the CEO and CFO will equal
$32,760 and $19,890, respectively, for each applicable measurement
period.  If the Company achieves 95% of the 2017 EBITDA loss target
for the first half of 2017 and/or the second half of 2017, the
EBITDA loss target portion of the cash bonus for the CEO and CFO
will equal $34,398 and $20,885, respectively, for each applicable
measurement period.  If the Company achieves 90% of the 2017 EBITDA
loss target for the first half of 2017 and/or the second half of
2017, the EBITDA loss target portion of the cash bonus for the CEO
and CFO will equal $36,036 and $21,879, respectively, for each
applicable measurement period (and the EBITDA loss target portion
of the cash bonus will be computed on a pro rata basis between 100%
and 95% of the target achieved and between 95% and 90% of the
target achieved).  If actual targets achieved are below 90%, the
applicable bonuses will remain fixed at the 90% level.

If the Company achieves 100% of the 2017 operating cash burn target
for the first three quarters of 2017 and/or the fourth quarter of
2017, the target operating cash burn portion of the cash bonus for
the CEO and CFO will equal $43,680 and $26,520, respectively, for
each applicable measurement period.

Cash bonus payments, if earned, will be paid once the Company's
auditors have completed their annual audit of the Company's
consolidated financial statements, and will be paid out within
seventy-five days following Dec. 31, 2017.  In order to receive a
bonus payment, the participant must be employed by the Company or
its subsidiary at the time bonuses are computed and distributed.

CTI BioPharma Corp. (NASDAQ and MTA: CTIC) --
http://www.ctibiopharma.com/-- formerly known as Cell
Therapeutics, Inc., is a biopharmaceutical company focused on
the acquisition, development and commercialization of novel
targeted therapies covering a spectrum of blood-related cancers
that offer a unique benefit to patients and healthcare providers.
The Company has a commercial presence in Europe and a late-stage
development pipeline, including pacritinib, CTI's lead product
candidate that is currently being studied in a Phase 3 program for
the treatment of patients with myelofibrosis.  CTI BioPharma is
headquartered in Seattle, Washington, with offices in London and
Milan under the name CTI Life Sciences Limited.

CTI Biopharma reported a net loss attributable to common
shareholders of $122.62 million on $16.11 million of total revenues
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, compared to a net loss
attributable to common shareholders of $96.0 million on $60.07
million of total revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014.

As of Sept. 30, 2016, CTI Biopharma had $76.48 million in total

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm
included an explanatory paragraph in its reports on its
consolidated financial statements for each of the years ended
Dec. 31, 2007, through Dec. 31, 2011, and for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2014, regarding their substantial doubt as to the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company said
that although its independent registered public accounting firm
removed this going concern explanatory paragraph in its report on

CURO HEALTH: S&P Cuts 1st Lien Debt Rating to 'B' on $60MM Add-On
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its issue-level rating on hospice care
provider Curo Health Services Holdings Inc.'s senior secured
first-lien debt to 'B' from 'B+'.  S&P revised the recovery rating
on this debt to '3' from '2'.  S&P's 'CCC+' issue-level rating on
Curo's second-lien debt and recovery rating of '6' on that
obligation are unchanged.  S&P's corporate credit rating of 'B' is
also unchanged, given the transaction is leverage neutral.  The
outlook remains stable.

The downgrade on the first-lien debt follows Curo's proposed
$60 million incremental first-lien debt issuance and S&P's
expectation that the company will use the proceeds to pay down
second-lien debt.  Pro forma for this transaction, S&P expects the
capital structure to consist of a $45 million cash flow revolver, a
$433 million first-lien term loan, and a $155 million second-lien
term loan.

The '3' recovery rating on the first-lien debt indicates S&P's
expectation for meaningful (50%-70%, at the higher end of the
range) recovery in the event of a payment default.  The '6'
recovery rating on the second-lien debt indicates S&P's expectation
for negligible (0%-10%) recovery in the event of a payment
default.

The corporate credit rating continues to reflect S&P's assessment
of the company's business risk as weak and financial risk as highly
leveraged.

S&P's assessment of the business risk profile is based on Curo's
narrow focus as a provider of hospice services, the highly
fragmented nature of the hospice industry, reimbursement risk, and
modest scale.  This is partially offset by the favorable
demographic trends and the company's improving operational
performance over the past few years.

S&P's assessment of the financial risk profile reflects its
expectation for debt leverage to be about 7x and for the ratio of
funds from operations (FFO) to debt to be below 10% for 2017.  It
also reflects S&P's expectation for the company to generate free
cash flow of $25 million to $35 million, which S&P expects to be
used for acquisitive and organic growth and for adjusted debt
leverage to remain above 5x, given ownership by private equity
sponsors.

CURTIS JAMES JACKSON: Bankruptcy Discharged After $22M Payment
--------------------------------------------------------------
The American Bankruptcy Institute, citing The Associated Press,
reported that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Ann Nevins has discharged the
bankruptcy case of rapper 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James
Jackson III, after he paid more than $22 million.

According to the report, Judge Nevins approved a plan in July
calling for 50 Cent to pay back about $23 million.

Jackson's lawyers said that he paid off the five-year plan early
with $8.7 million of his own money and $13.65 million he received
in a recent settlement of a legal malpractice lawsuit against other
attorneys, the report related.

Curtis James Jackson, III, aka 50 Cent, filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D. Conn. Case No. 15-21233) on
July 13, 2015.

In July 2016, U.S. bankruptcy court judge approved a Chapter 11
reorganization plan for 50 Cent.  Melissa Daniels, writing for
Bankruptcy Law360, reported that the bankruptc plan requires
Jackson to pay $18 million to Sleek Audio to settle a judgment, $6
million to a woman who won a jury award against him in a sex tape
scandal and about $4 million to settle a guarantee claim with Sun
Trust Bank, among paying off other creditors over a five-year
period.


DAYBREAK OIL: Signs Agreement to Extend Notes Maturity to 2019
--------------------------------------------------------------
Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc., entered into agreements with all of its
12% Subordinated Notes due Jan. 29, 2017, to extend the maturity
date of those Notes by two years to Jan. 29, 2019.  The Notes were
originally issued by the Company pursuant to a 2010 private
placement, with an initial expiration date of Jan. 29, 2015, in
which the purchasers of the Notes also received warrants to
purchase shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price
of $0.14 per share.  To incentivize noteholders to agree to the
Extension, the Company offered to extend the expiration date of the
Warrants to Jan. 29, 2019, to match the maturity date of the Notes,
and to reduce the exercise price of the Warrants from $0.14 to
$0.07.  All other terms of the warrants remain unchanged.

The Extension was offered to all holders of the Notes and accepted
by all holders.  The holders of the Notes agreeing to the Extension
collectively hold $565,000 in outstanding principal amount of the
Notes and 980,000 Warrants.

The Board of Directors of the Company determined that the extension
was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders due to
the fact that it would allow the Company to use its capital
resources for its operations rather than redemption of the Notes,
and because the terms of the Notes are more favorable than other
financing currently available to the Company.

                      About Daybreak Oil
   
Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc., is an independent oil and natural gas
exploration, development and production company.  The Company is
headquartered in Spokane, Washington and has an operations office
in Friendswood, Texas.  The Company's common stock is quoted on
the OTC Bulletin Board market under the symbol DBRM.OB.  Daybreak
has over 20,000 acres under lease in the San Joaquin Valley of
California.

Daybreak Oil reported a net loss available to common shareholders
of $4.33 million on $1.25 million of revenue for the year ended
Feb. 29, 2016, compared to a net loss available to common
shareholders of $865,577 on $3.08 million of revenue for the year
ended Feb. 28, 2015.

As of Nov. 30, 2016, Daybreak Oil had $1.16 million in total
assets, $13.36 million in total liabilities and a total
stockholders' deficit of $12.20 million.

MaloneBailey, LLP, in Houston, Texas, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the year
ended Feb. 29, 2016, citing that Daybreak Oil suffered losses from
operations and has negative operating cash flows, which raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

EASTERN OUTFITTERS: Files for Ch. 11 to Sell to SportsDirect
------------------------------------------------------------
Eastern Outfitters, LLC, the holding company of outdoor sports
apparel and equipment retailers Bob's Stores and Eastern Mountain
Sports, has filed for bankruptcy protection with plans to sell the
assets to SportsDirect.com Retail Ltd. as a going concern.

The Meriden, Connecticut-based company, which is owned by private
equity firm Versa Capital Management LLC, lists assets and
liabilities in $100 million to $500 million range.  As of the
petition date, the Debtors believe unsecured claims total $12
million.

The Debtors' operating business consists of Bob's Stores and
Eastern Mountain Sports, each of which is a regional multi-channel
retailer engaged in the apparel, footwear and sporting goods lines
of business.  Both retailers operate a retail store business and an
e-commerce business.  Collectively, the Debtors currently manage 86
retail stores.  Bob's Stores operates 35 stores through New
England, New York and New Jersey.  EMS operates 51 stores, located
primarily in the Northeastern states.

The Debtors employ approximately 2,600 full, part-time and
temporary employees across their operations.

According the court papers, the Company is in continuing
discussions with SportsDirect.com Retail Ltd., the lender under the
Company's and its subsidiaries' second lien debt, to serve as
stalking horse bidder for its assets.

To fund the operations and cost of the Chapter 11 case, Eastern
Outfitters has engaged in extensive negotiation with
SportsDirect.com to provide financing on favorable terms, which
will be secured by certain assets of the company and the other
borrowers.

Subortis IP Holdings, LLC, Bob's/EMS Gift Card, LLC, Subortis
Retail Financing, LLC, Eastern Mountain Sports, LLC and Bob's
Stores, LLC are also included in the bankruptcy filing.

Among the Debtors' top unsecured creditors are VF Outdoor Inc.,
Google Inc., Wolverine World Wide, Inc., Carhartt and Under Armour,
Inc.

The cases, filed on Feb. 5, 2017, are pending joint administration
under Case No. 17-10423 (LSS) before the Hon. Laurie Selber
Silverstein in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware.

The Debtors have hired Bracewell LLP as restructuring counsel, Cole
Schotz P.C. as Delaware counsel, AlixPartners, LLP as turnaround
advisor, Lincoln Partners Advisors LLC as financial advisor and
Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as claims and noticing agent.

                    Prepetition Marketing Effort

Mark T. Walsh, the CEO, explains that the Debtors, like other
retail companies, have faced various obstacles in the current
challenging retail environment.  

Facing operational challenges along with tightening liquidity, the
Debtors, along with their advisors, engaged in a robust process to
explore and solicit interest in a number of potential
alternatives.

Although the Debtors received some interest through their marketing
process, by early 2017, the Debtors were still unable to secure a
committed transaction that would have provided the Debtors with
sufficient capital to continue operations as going concern.  As a
result, in January 2017, in addition to Lincoln's investment
banking efforts that were ongoing, the Debtors also retained
Malfitano Advisors, LLC, to serve as asset disposition advisor.

Ultimately, Malfitano secured six proposals from three different
bidding groups.  The proposals either provided for sufficient cash
or projected  to generate sufficient cash to repay the prepetition
senior loan and the potential for a limited recovery for the
prepetition subordinate term loan.  However, such proposals would
have also resulted in termination of all the Debtors' employees and
limited or no recovery for vendors and other creditors.  Absent any
committed alternatives, the Debtors began preparations for a
Chapter 11 filing with the highest and best liquidation proposal
they received.

On the eve of commencing the liquidation process ,the Debtors
received an offer from Sportsdirect to purchase all of the Debtors'
assets.  Sportsdirect is the United Kingdom's largest sporting
goods retailers.  

The Sportsdirect transaction contemplates going concern operations
of the Debtors' business and continued employment of approximately
1900 of the Debtors' employees.

                     Sale to Sportsdirect

In order to facilitate the sale of the Debtors' assets, the
Debtors, Vestis, the existing equity owner of the Debtors, and
Sportsdirect entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") on Jan. 27,
2017.  Consistent with the LOI, Sportsdirect acquired the Debtors'
second-lien debt from Vestis and provided $10 million of emergency,
bridge financing to allow the Debtors' continued operation while
the parties negotiated the purchase transaction.

Since the signing of the LOI, the Debtors and Sportsdirect have
engaged in around-the-clock, good-faith negotiations with
Sportsdirect's U.S. representatives and consultant Theseus Strategy
Group LLC, to fully document the terms of the proposed purchase
transaction and a DIP facility.  The negotiations are ongoing,
according to Mr. Walsh.


EASTERN OUTFITTERS: Sports Direct in Talks to Bid for Assets
------------------------------------------------------------
The American Bankruptcy Institute, citing Jessica DiNapoli of
Reuters, reported that struggling British sportswear retailer
Sports Direct is in talks to bid for Eastern Outfitters LLC, the
parent of U.S. discount chain Bob's Stores and outdoor retailer
Eastern Mountain Sports, people familiar with the matter said.

According to the report, the sportswear chain, founded and
controlled by Chief Executive Mike Ashley, is Britain's largest
sporting goods retailer with about 700 stores there and in the rest
of Europe and has been looking for ways to expand in the United
States.

A regulatory filing to the London Stock Exchange also revealed that
Sports Direct had taken a 11.2 percent stake in troubled UK fashion
retailer French Connection, through contracts for difference, the
report related.

Sports Direct is now in talks with Eastern Outfitters about
becoming a stalking horse bidder in a bankruptcy auction for the
company, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
That would set the price floor for more bids in the auction, the
report added.

Meriden, Connecticut-based Eastern Outfitters has hired law firm
Cole Schotz PC to prepare for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing,
expected in the coming days, the people said, the report further
cited.

                   About Electronic Cigarettes

Electronic Cigarettes International Group, Ltd., is an independent
marketer and distributor of vaping products and E-cigarettes.  The
Company's objective is to become a leader in the rapidly growing,
global E-cigarette segment of the broader nicotine related products
industry which include traditional tobacco.  E-cigarettes are
battery-powered products that simulate tobacco smoking through
inhalation of nicotine vapor without the fire, flame, tobacco, tar,
carbon monoxide, ash, stub, smell and other chemicals found in
traditional combustible cigarettes.  The global E-cigarette market
is expected to grow to $51 billion, or a 4% share of the worldwide
tobacco market, by 2030.  The growth is forecast to come at the
expense of traditional tobacco, not from new smokers entering the
category.  Numerous research studies and publications have
recognized that E-cigarettes are a preferred method for smokers to
quit, and the most effective.

Electronics Cigarettes reported a net loss of $44.2 million in 2015
following a net loss of $389 million in 2014.

As of Sept. 30, 2016, the Company had $65.34 million in total
assets, $138.7 million in total liabilities and a total
stockholders' deficit of $73.36 million.

Rehmann Robson LLC, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements for
the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, citing that the Company has reported
significant operating losses and cash flow deficits and has
accumulated a net capital deficit.  These and other factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

ENTERCOM COMMUNICATIONS: S&P Puts 'B+' CCR on CreditWatch Positive
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said that it placed its ratings, including the
'B+' corporate credit rating, on Philadelphia-based Entercom
Communications Corp. on CreditWatch with positive implications.

"The CreditWatch placement reflects our expectation that the
pending merger will improve Entercom's scale, diversity, and pro
forma leverage," said S&P Global Ratings' credit analyst Scott
Zari.  "We expect that the combined company's pro forma leverage
will be about 4x--our stated upgrade threshold for the 'B+'
corporate credit rating." The combined entity will have 244
stations in 47 markets, including 23 of the top 25 markets, and
about $1.7 billion in revenue, making it the second largest radio
station operator in the U.S. on a revenue basis.

S&P will resolve the CreditWatch placement immediately following
the closing of the merger, which S&P expects to occur in the second
half of 2017.  Assuming the transaction closes as planned and the
combined company's operating performance remains relatively stable,
S&P will likely raise the corporate credit rating on the combined
company to 'BB-'.  If the transaction doesn't close, S&P would
likely consider Entercom's ability to reduce its leverage to below
4x as a stand-alone entity over the next 12 months.

ESSAR STEEL: Secured Creditors Comment on Monitor's Statement
-------------------------------------------------------------
The majority of Essar Steel Algoma Inc.'s Term Loan holders and
Senior Secured Noteholders (the "Senior Secured Lenders") on Feb.
2, 2017, commented on the Jan. 28, 2017, letter addressed to the
court-appointed monitor overseeing Algoma's insolvency proceedings
by Essar Global Fund Ltd.

Dan Gagnier, spokesperson for the secured creditors, said, "The
time for smoke and mirrors is over.  Essar Global's ownership, and
its inability to manage the volatility of commodity pricing, is a
principal reason why Algoma failed.  It is also critically
important to note that Essar Global was rejected from participating
in the Algoma and Stelco sale processes multiple times given
concerns regarding its financial wherewithal."

Added Mr. Gagnier, "We have a committed proposal that can reduce
the company's debt by approximately C$1.5 billion, provide up to
C$550 million of new capital and improve financial flexibility.
Algoma has been through four restructurings in its history and it
is our primary interest to help the company emerge from bankruptcy
with the best chance of competing across any market cycle."

Concluded Mr. Gagnier, "In addition, we are alarmed by the number
and magnitude of claims being advanced against the Essar Global
entities by parties involved with or affected by Essar Global,
including creditors, banks, suppliers, regulators, former
Directors, and local communities.  We certainly have significant
concerns regarding the conduct of Essar Global as it relates to the
Algoma operations and the negative impact certain decisions and
affiliate transactions have had on its stakeholders and the Sault
Ste. Marie community.  Many of these concerns have been raised
publicly by the Algoma Monitor, within the Algoma CCAA process and
in the ongoing oppression action commenced by the Monitor against
Essar Global and its affiliates.  We are hopeful that the Court
process resolves these issues and allows for the successful
recapitalization of Algoma for the long-term benefit of its various
stakeholders, including employees and retirees."

The terms of the Recapitalization Proposal are described in the
Restructuring Support Agreement, dated as of Sept. 15, 2016, among
the Consenting Lenders and the Consenting Noteholders.  Information
regarding the Recapitalization Proposal and other relevant
documents can be found on the Monitor's Web site at

                      About EXCO Resources

EXCO Resources, Inc. is an oil and natural gas exploration,
exploitation, development and production company headquartered in
Dallas, Texas with principal operations in Texas, North Louisiana
and the Appalachia region.

Additional information about EXCO Resources, Inc. may be obtained
by contacting Tyler Farquharson, EXCO's Vice President of Strategic
Planning, acting Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, at EXCO's
headquarters, 12377 Merit Drive, Suite 1700, Dallas, TX 75251,
telephone number (214) 368-2084, or by visiting EXCO's Web site at
http://www.excoresources.com/       

As of Sept. 30, 2016, the Company had $685.99 million in total
assets, $1.52 billion in total liabilities and a total
shareholders' deficit of $837.59 million.

EXCO Resources reported a net loss of $1.19 billion for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2015, following net income of $120.7 million for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2014.

"We have recently experienced losses as a result of the recent
decline in oil and natural gas prices, and, as of December 31,
2015, we had negative shareholders' equity of $662.3 million, which
means that our total liabilities exceeded our total assets. We may
not be able to return to profitability in the near future, or at
all, and the continuing existence of negative shareholders' equity
may limit our ability to obtain future debt or equity financing or
to pay future dividends or other distributions.  If we are unable
to obtain financing in the future, it could have a negative effect
on our operations and our liquidity," the Company stated in its
annual report for the year ended Dec. 31, 2015.

                           *    *    *

As reported by the TCR on Oct. 19, 2016, S&P Global Ratings raised
its corporate credit rating on EXCO Resources Inc. to 'CCC+' from
'SD' (selective default).  The outlook is negative.  "The rating
action follows our review of EXCO's capital structure and liquidity
position following recent debt repurchases, and our expectations
for future restructuring actions," said S&P Global credit analyst
Christine Besset.

The TCR reported in December 2016 that Moody's Investors Service
downgraded EXCO Resources' (XCO) Corporate Family Rating to 'Ca'
from 'Caa2'.  "XCO's downgrade reflects its eroded liquidity
position which is insufficient to fully fund development
expenditures at the level required to stem ongoing production
declines," commented Andrew Brooks, Moody's vice president.
"Absent an injection of additional liquidity, the source of which
is not readily identifiable, EXCO could face going concern risk as
it confronts an unsustainable capital structure."


EZE CASTLE: Moody's Affirms B2 Corporate Family Rating
------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Eze Castle Software, Inc.'s
Corporate Family rating ("CFR") at B2, the Probability of Default
rating at B2-PD, the first lien credit facilities at B1 and the
second lien credit facilities at Caa1. The rating outlook remains
stable.

The affirmation rating actions follow the company's announcement
that it intends to use the net proceeds from an expanded $568
million first lien term loan and balance sheet cash to repay the
existing first lien term loans, fund a $100 million distribution to
its shareholders, affiliates of private equity firm TPG Capital,
and pay transaction-related fees and expenses. Upon the closing of
the proposed term loan expansion, Moody's will withdraw the ratings
on the existing first lien term loans.

Issuer: Eze Castle Software, Inc.

Affirmations:

-- Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed B2

-- Probability of Default, Affirmed B2-PD

-- Senior Secured First Lien Revolving Credit facility due 2019,
Affirmed B1 (LGD3)

-- Senior Secured First Lien Term Loans due 2020, Affirmed B1
(LGD3)

-- Senior Secured Second Lien Term Loan due 2021, Affirmed Caa1
(LGD6)

Assignment:

-- Senior Secured First Lien Term Loan due 2020, Assigned at B1
(LGD3)

Outlook:

Outlook, Remains Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE

The affirmation of the B2 CFR reflects Eze Software's small revenue
scale, narrow product and customer focus and Moody's expectations
for debt to EBITDA to remain around 7 times. Moody's anticipates
ongoing, predictable 3% to 5% annual growth in revenues, stable
EBITDA margins around 35%, free cash flow to debt above 5%, solid
2.5 times interest coverage and good liquidity, providing rating
support.

Eze Software's Order Management (OMS) and Execution Management
(EMS) products have a history of high customer subscription
renewal, providing support to the revenue outlook. Revenues come
from subscription and transaction fees, driven by the number of
traders and trades, so revenue is visible and largely recurring,
although sensitive to changes in hedge fund industry trading
activity. That said, Moody's notes Eze Software maintained revenue
growth in 2016 despite it being a challenging year for many of its
hedge fund customers. Most of Eze Software's OMS revenue is earned
indirectly from hedge funds through their brokers who pay Eze
Software on a per-transaction basis. There is some revenue
concentration, with the top 10 customers representing about 9% of
revenues and the top 50 over 25%.

Good liquidity is provided by Moody's expectations for at least $40
million of free cash flow, over $25 million of cash as of and pro
forma for the announced dividend and a large, unused and fully
available $75 million revolver.

Moody's anticipates aggressive financial policies and limited
financial flexibility after the incurrence of debt to fund
distributions of $280 million to shareholders in 2016 and 2017,
including from the proposed financing. Debt reduction in excess of
required amounts is unlikely; additional debt-funded distributions
and acquisitions are also possible.

All financial metrics cited reflect Moody's standard adjustments.

The stable ratings outlook reflects Moody's expectations for 3% to
5% revenue growth, steady profit margins, solid free cash flow and
debt to EBITDA around 7 times. Given the recent cash distribution
history, Moody's considers a ratings upgrade unlikely in the near
term. However, the ratings could be upgraded if Moody's expects all
of the following: 1) ongoing high single digit revenue growth; 2)
debt to EBITDA will be sustained below 5 times; 3) EBITA margins
around 30%; and 4) maintenance of balanced financial policies. The
ratings could be downgraded if Moody's anticipates: 1) revenue
declines; 2) customer attrition increases; 3) the company cannot
remain on a path toward achieving debt to EBITDA below 6.5 times;
4) free cash flow to debt around 2% or lower; or 5) diminished
liquidity.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was "Software
Industry" published in December 2015.

Eze Software provides order management systems, execution
management systems, portfolio management and accounting software
and services to hedge funds, other institutional investors and
brokerage firms in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Moody's expects Eze
Software to generate revenue of over $300 million in 2017.


EZE CASTLE: S&P Lowers 1st Lien Debt Rating to B on $80MM Add-On
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said it affirmed its 'B' corporate credit rating
on Boston-based Eze Castle Software Inc.  The outlook is stable.

Eze Castle plans to amend its first- and second-lien credit
agreement to allow for an $85 million add-on to its first-lien term
loan.  It will use proceeds of the debt issuance with cash on hand
to fund a $100 million dividend to TPG Capital.

At the same time, S&P lowered its rating on the company's
first-lien credit facility to 'B' from 'B+' and revised the
recovery rating to '3' from '2'.  The '3' recovery rating indicates
S&P's expectation of meaningful (50%--70%; upper half of the range)
recovery in the event of a default.

In addition, S&P assigned its 'B' issue rating and '3' recovery
rating (upper half of the 50%-70% range) to the company's
$568.1 million first-lien term loan due 2020, and S&P's 'CCC+'
issue rating and '6' recovery rating to the $125 million
second-lien term loan due 2021.

S&P also affirmed the 'CCC+' issue-level, with a '6' recovery
rating, on the second-lien term loan.  The '6' recovery rating
indicates S&P's expectation of negligible (0% to 10%) recovery in
the event of a default.

"The rating action reflects the company's high proportion of
first-lien debt, with the addition of approximately $245 million of
first-lien debt to its capital structure since the leveraged buyout
in 2013," said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Andrew Yee.

Nevertheless, the company has performed well, generating 7.5% total
revenue growth (6% organic) for the 12 months ended September 31,
2016, driven by increased upselling and new customers, ultimately
leading to higher subscription revenues that are recurring.  Pro
forma for the incremental debt, S&P's adjusted leverage as of Sept.
30, 2016 increases to about 7x from 6.25x.

The stable outlook on Eze reflects the company's stable FOCF
generation resulting from its recurring and predictable revenue
base, and S&P's expectation that it will maintain its competitive
position in key markets.

FOUR DIA: Taps D. Craig Barnes as Expert Witness
------------------------------------------------
Four Dia, LLC seeks permission from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, to employ D. Craig
Barnes as Expert Witness.

A critical component of the Debtor's reorganization plan will be a
"cramdown" of a CapitalSpring SBLC, LLC's claim of approximately
$5,000,000 to the value of the underlying collateral. The Debtor
obtained an appraisal of the hotel and improvements from MC
Appraisals, which concluded that its value as of the Petition Date
was $2,760,000.00.

Because the plan provides for installment payments over a period of
years rather than a single payment, an appropriate interest rate
must be determined pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 1129(b).

In determining an appropriate cramdown interest rate for
CapitalSpring's claim, Barnes may analyze several factors,
including: the national prime rate as well as other relevant market
rates, industry-specific risk involved in hotel-based lending, the
quality of the Debtor's management, the commitment of the Debtor's
owners, the health and future prospects of the Debtor's business,
the quality of CapitalSpring's collateral, and the feasibility and
duration of the plan. Barnes is expected to provide expert
testimony at the confirmation hearing and may also produce an
expert report.

Barnes intends to charge the Debtor an hourly rate of $200 per hour
for his study and testimony in this case.

D. Craig Barnes believes that she is a "disinterested person" under
the meanings of Section 101(14) and Section 327 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code.

GASTAR EXPLORATION: Adopts Tax Benefit Plan to Preserve NOLs
------------------------------------------------------------
Gastar Exploration Inc. announced that its Board of Directors has
adopted a Net Operating Loss Shareholder Rights Agreement designed
to preserve its substantial tax assets.  As of Dec. 31, 2015,
Gastar had cumulative net operating loss carry-forwards of
approximately $512.0 million, which can be utilized in certain
circumstances to offset future U.S. taxable income.  The Company
further expects its cumulative net operating loss carry-forwards to
increase as of Dec. 31, 2016.

As of Jan. 18, 2017, Gastar's previously adopted rights plan
expired pursuant to the terms of the rights plan.  After
considering, among other matters, the estimated value of the
Company's tax benefits, the potential for diminution upon an
ownership change, and the risk of an ownership change occurring,
including the recently disclosed accumulations of Gastar stock, the
Board adopted the Rights Plan, which is intended to protect
Gastar's tax benefits and to allow all of Gastar's stockholders to
realize the long-term value of their investment in Gastar.
Gastar's ability to use these tax benefits would be substantially
limited if it were to experience an "ownership change" as defined
under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.  An ownership
change would occur if stockholders that own (or are deemed to own)
at least five percent or more of Gastar's outstanding common stock
increased their cumulative ownership in the Company by more than 50
percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage within a
rolling three-year period.  The Rights Plan reduces the likelihood
that changes in Gastar's investor base would limit Gastar's future
use of its tax benefits, which would significantly impair the value
of the benefits to all stockholders.  The Company believes that no
ownership change as defined in Section 382 has occurred as of the
date of this press release.

To implement the Rights Plan, the Gastar Board of Directors
declared a non-taxable dividend of one preferred share purchase
right for each outstanding share of its common stock.  The rights
will be exercisable if a person or group acquires 4.95% or more of
Gastar common stock.  The rights will also be exercisable if a
person or group that already owns 4.95% or more of Gastar common
stock acquires additional shares (other than as a result of a
dividend or a stock split).  Gastar's existing stockholders that
beneficially own in excess of 4.95% of the common stock will be
"grandfathered in" at their current ownership level.  If the rights
become exercisable, all holders of rights, other than the person or
group triggering the rights, will be entitled to purchase Gastar
common stock at a 50% discount.  Rights held by the person or group
triggering the rights will become void and will not be
exercisable.

The rights are not taxable to Gastar stockholders.  The rights will
trade with Gastar's common stock and will expire on the first day
after the Company's 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, unless the
Gastar stockholders ratify the Rights Plan at such meeting, in
which case the term of the Rights Plan is extended to three years.
The Gastar Board may terminate the Rights Plan or redeem the rights
prior to the time the rights are triggered.

Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Gastar Exploration
to 'CCC-' from 'CCC+'.  The downgrade follows Gastar's announcement
that it had just $29 million of cash on hand and a fully drawn
revolver.  The company's borrowing base current stands at $180
million, but will be reduced to $100 million at the earlier of the
close of the Appalachian asset sale or April 10, 2016.  Proceeds
from the Appalachian asset sale are expected to be $80 million.

In June 2016, Moody's Investors Service downgraded the Corporate
Family Rating of Gastar to 'Caa3' from 'Caa1'.  The rating outlook
was changed to 'negative' from 'stable'.  The downgrade of Gastar's
CFR to Caa3 reflects the company's weakened liquidity and reduced
size following the sale of its Appalachian assets in April 2016.


GATEWAY CASINOS: S&P Cuts CCR to 'B' on Debt-Financed Acquisition
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said it lowered its long-term corporate credit
rating on Burnaby, B.C.-based casino operator Gateway Casinos &
Entertainment Limited to 'B' from 'B+'.  The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB-' issue-level
rating and '1' recovery rating to Gateway's proposed
US$440 million senior secured term loan B, indicating an
expectation of very high (90%-100%) recovery in the event of
default.  In addition, S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'CCC+'
issue-level rating and '6' recovery rating to the company's
proposed US$255 million second-lien senior secured notes,
indicating an expectation of negligible 0%-10%, recovery in
default.  S&P expects to withdraw the ratings on the existing
first-lien and second-lien debts post the closing of the
transaction.

"The downgrade reflects our view that the company's debt-funded
acquisition of the two Ontario gaming bundles and cash dividend
payout to the shareholders will lead to adjusted debt to EBITDA of
about 7.0x through 2017 along with adjusted EBITDA interest
coverage of about 2.5x," said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst
Aniki Saha-Yannopoulos.

The company will use the proceeds from the proposed debt to finance
the acquisition of the Ontario gaming bundles, provide the C$100
million dividend payout to shareholders, and refinance Gateway's
current debt.  S&P believes the company would incur a projected
development capital expenditure (capex) of about
C$320 million, which will be used to renovate, expand, and build
new facilities within the designated gaming zones of the bundles.
The acquired Ontario bundles will enhance the company's geographic
and EBITDA diversity; the bundles are expected to generate about
25% of the company's pro forma EBITDA, thus reducing Gateway's
reliance on B.C.  This benefit, however, is offset by the quality
of assets acquired with these locations, which have limited
amenities to drive ancillary spend or increase the length of stay.
The properties are in locations that do not have a high propensity
to game and lack global brand recognition, which results in lower
visitation rates compared with the gaming properties in such places
as Las Vegas and Macau.  Even though S&P expects the Ontario
bundles to offset the slower EBITDA growth from the company's B.C.
and Edmonton casinos, S&P believes the debt-financed acquisitions
will weaken credit metrics in 2017 and 2018. S&P is also
reassessing the liquidity on Gateway to adequate from less than
adequate as the proposed debt issuance would have sufficient
covenant headroom.  

The 'B' long-term corporate credit rating on the company reflects
S&P's assessment of Gateway's business risk profile as satisfactory
and financial risk profile as highly leveraged, as well as the use
of a negative comparable rating analysis (CRA) modifier.  The
negative CRA modifier reflects S&P's expectation that the company's
management will maintain adjusted debt to EBITDA at about7.0x over
the next 12 months with EBITDA interest coverage of about 2.5x,
which is in line with that of other 'B' rated companies.

S&P's assessment of Gateway's financial risk profile as highly
leveraged reflects the company's weakened credit metrics due to the
debt-financed acquisition of the two Ontario bundles and cash
dividend payout to the shareholders.  The acquisition of the
bundles also includes the projected development expenditure that
the company will fund through its internal cash flows.  Even though
this expenditure will improve the company's cash flow, S&P do not
foresee the benefit within our outlook horizon.

S&P bases its view of Gateway's business risk profile as
satisfactory on the company's strong share of the concentrated
gaming market in B.C., which benefits from attractive growth
prospects and a supportive regulatory regime.  With the addition of
the Ontario gaming bundles, S&P expects the company's reliance on a
few key assets in B.C. will be reduced thus leading to better
EBITDA and jurisdiction diversity.  These benefits are offset by
the quality of the assets' location, which is not known for a high
propensity to game or higher visitation rates.  With the addition
of the Ontario bundles, Gateway will be a diversified Canadian
casino operator with 29 gaming properties across B.C., Alberta, and
Ontario, which account for 80% of the Canadian casino gaming
market.

S&P's stable outlook on Gateway reflects S&P's view that even
though the company's pro forma adjusted debt-to-EBITDA will remain
elevated at 7.0x in the next 12 months, S&P do not expect any
deterioration in EBITDA generation or liquidity.  Although credit
metrics have weakened because of the debt-funded acquisition of
these bundles and cash distribution to shareholders, S&P expects
operating cash flow to increase because of the bundles acquisition
and sustain Gateway's pro forma credit measures.

S&P could lower the rating if a more competitive landscape
increased marketing spend, regulatory changes, and slower ramp-up
of the Ontario gaming bundles leads to adjusted EBITDA interest
coverage approaching 1.5x over the next 12 months without any
prospects for improvement, along with covenant cushion weakness.

S&P could raise the rating if Gateway maintains adjusted debt to
EBITDA below 6.5x on a sustained basis.  S&P would expect a
scenario whereby the company maintains its margins and cash flow
through 2018 while investing in the acquired gaming bundles and
managing increased competition in a mature market.

Global Amenities, LLC, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of South Carolina a disclosure statement referring to the

GLOYD GREEN: Authorized to Amend Motion to Sell Gun Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Kevin R. Anderson of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Utah authorized Gloyd W. Green to amend the Motion for
Approval of Sale of Gun Collection and Bidding Procedures so as to
propose sale of his gun collection by public auction to be
conducted by Erkelens and Olson.

The first and the second hearing on the Motion were held on Jan.
17, 2017 and Feb. 1, 2017, respectively.

Written notice of the proposed sale, together with a copy of the
Order, will be served on creditors and other parties not later than
Feb. 3, 2017.

Objections, if any, to the proposed sale must be filed not later
than 5:00 p.m. on
Feb. 16, 2017.

A hearing on approval of the proposed sale (and to consider any
objections) will be conducted on Feb. 21, 2017 at 2:00 p.m., or as
soon thereafter as counsel may be heard.

The Objection to Motion of Gun Collection and Bidding Procedures,
which was filed by Harrington & Co., will be considered at the
hearing on Feb. 21, 2017.

Based upon the proffered testimony of Rob Olson, the Court makes a
preliminary finding of fact that the proposed sale of the gun
collection through an auction by Erkelens and Olson, if marketed
and conducted in accordance with the firm's standard practices,
will be commercially fair and reasonable and will result in receipt
by the estate of fair market value for the gun collection;
provided, however, that the preliminary finding is subject to
revision in the event there are one or more objections to the
proposed sale and evidence in support of such objections is
presented at the hearing on Feb. 21, 2017.

The Debtor's Exhibits A through G, which were admitted in evidence
at the hearing on Feb. 1, 2017, will remain admitted in evidence
for purposes of the hearing on Feb. 21, 2017 (subject to the
proviso that Exhibit C is not admitted for the purpose of
establishing the fair market value of the gun collection but only
for the purpose of showing the Debtor's good faith belief in the
value of the gun collection).

Gloyd W. Green sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Utah Case
No. 15-25181) on June 3, 2015.


GLOYD GREEN: Erkelens & Olson to Auction Gun Collection on Feb. 25
------------------------------------------------------------------
Gloyd W. Green asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Utah to authorize the sale of his gun collection through a public
auction to be conducted by Erkelens and Olson on Feb. 25, 2017 at
10:00 a.m.

The Debtor proposes to sell his gun collection at a public auction.
The Debtor has recently learned that one of the guns, described as
a "22 Semi-automatic Browning" valued at $275 is missing.  The
Debtor does not know what happened to the gun, but has referred the
loss of the gun to the Estate Representative as a Claim for
investigation in accordance with the Debtor's Amended Plan of
Reorganization dated Feb. 24, 2016.  The gun collection will be
sold through a public auction to be conducted by Erkelens and Olson
beginning at 10:00 a.m. on Feb. 25, 2017 at the auction firm's
gallery located at 430 West 300 North, Salt Lake City, Utah.  

The guns will be sold in an "as is, where is" condition, without
representation or warranty as to the condition or value of the
guns.  As provided in the Plan, the three guns identified as exempt
will not be sold at the auction and instead will be delivered to
the Debtor and retained by him, unless otherwise ordered by the
Court.

A copy of the list of guns to be sold attached to the Motion is
available for free at:

             http://bankrupt.com/misc/Gloyd_Green_186_Sales.pdf

The Debtor intends, if approved by the Court, to allow the holders
of the Class A-4 Secured Claim, in the amount of $6,403, to credit
bid their Claim at the auction.  The Class A-4 Claim holders are
Terry and Sherrel West.  Sherrel West is the Debtor's sister.  The
Class A-4 Claim is secured by the guns in the Gun Collection.  

The auction company will make a full report of the sale and will be
paid a commission in the amount of 15% of the gross sales proceeds.
All Net Proceeds of sale will be deposited into the Plan Payment
Account for distribution in accordance with the provisions of the
Plan.  Anyone wishing to view the guns may do so through the
auction firm's Web site, http://www.salesandauction.com/, or in
person at a preview to be held at the firm's gallery on Feb. 24,
2017, between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

The Debtor asks the Court to grant the relief requested, and such
other and further relief as may be appropriate.

The Debtor asks the Court to waive the 14-day stay imposed by
Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h) so that the guns can be delivered to buyers
at the auction upon their payment of the auction sales price.

Gloyd W. Green sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Utah Case
No. 15-25181) on June 3, 2015.

                      About Great Basin

Great Basin Scientific is a molecular diagnostic testing company
focused on the development and commercialization of its patented,
molecular diagnostic platform designed to test for infectious
disease, especially hospital-acquired infections.  The Company
believes that small to medium sized hospital laboratories, those
under 400 beds, are in need of simpler and more affordable
molecular diagnostic testing methods.  The Company markets a system
that combines both affordability and ease-of-use, when compared to
other commercially available molecular testing methods, which the
Company believes will accelerate the adoption of molecular testing
in small to medium sized hospitals.  The Company's system includes
an analyzer, which it provides for its customers' use without
charge in the United States, and a diagnostic cartridge, which the
Company sells to its customers.

Great Basin reported a net loss of $57.9 million in 2015 following
a net loss of $21.7 million in 2014.

As of Sept. 30, 2016, Great Basin had $83.40 million in total
assets, $144.9 million in total liabilities, and a total
stockholders' deficit of $61.47 million.

Mantyla McReynolds, LLC, in Salt Lake City, Utah, issued a "going
concern" opinion in its report on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, citing that the
Company has incurred substantial losses from operations causing
negative working capital and negative operating cash flows.  These
issues raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern, the auditors said.


GREAT BASIN: Note Buyers OK Release of $500K Restricted Fund

certain buyers as set forth in the Schedule of Buyers attached to
the 2016 SPA of $75 million aggregate principal amount of senior

On Feb. 2, 2017, the 2016 Note Buyers voluntarily agreed to remove
restrictions on the Company's use of an aggregate of approximately
$0.5 million in cash previously funded to the Company and
authorized the release of those funds from the restricted accounts
of the Company for each 2016 Note Buyer in accordance with that
certain Master Control Account Agreement previously entered into by

GREAT HEARTS: Fitch Hikes Rating on $15.9MM Education Bonds to BB+
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded its rating on approximately $15.9
million of educational revenue bonds, series 2012 issued by the
Industrial Development Authority of the City of Phoenix on behalf
of Great Hearts Academies (Veritas Project) to 'BB+' from 'BB'.

The Rating Outlook is revised to Stable from Positive.

SECURITY

The bonds are a joint and several obligation of two charter
schools, Veritas Preparatory Academy (VPA) and Archway Classical
Veritas (ACV) (together, the schools) and are payable from all
legally available revenues. The bonds are further secured by a
first mortgage lien over the facility in which the schools are
co-located, and a cash-funded debt service reserve.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

UPGRADE AND STABLE OPERATIONS: The upgrade to 'BB+' and Outlook
revision to Stable reflects the schools' long charter terms and
track record of solid margins (7.7% on a combined basis in fiscal
2016) driving consistent growth in limited balance sheet resources,
which is supported by stable demand and enrollment.

CHARTER RENEWAL: Following VPA's initial 15-year standard charter
term, it received its first 20-year standard renewal which extended
the term to 2036. ACV has now completed a full five academic years
and is under a 15-year charter term that extends to 2025.

SOUND COVERAGE: Per Fitch's charter school criteria, the
calculation of debt service coverage now includes ACV based on its
full five-year operating history. Maximum annual debt service
(MADS) coverage on the series 2012 bonds from combined operations
was 2.1x in fiscal 2016, similar to fiscal 2015. Combined MADS
coverage over a five year period (since fiscal 2012) averages
1.5x.

HIGH DEBT BURDEN: The schools' combined financial leverage remains
high as measured by a MADS burden at about 10.3% on a combined
basis in fiscal 2016. Debt to net income available for debt service
is high but reduced to 6.4x, down from 6.9x in the prior year.

STRONG MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT: The schools benefit from the
programmatic leadership of Great Hearts Academies (GHA), whose
academic reputation supports strong student demand among its
network of 22 charter schools located in the Phoenix area. This
leadership is expected to continue.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

ACHIEVEMENT OF FINANCIAL METRICS: Failure of Great Hearts
Academies' two pledged charter schools to maintain positive
operating results and moderately grow balance sheet resources could
pressure the rating.

CHARTER RELATED CONCERNS: A limited financial cushion; substantial
reliance on enrollment-driven, per pupil funding; and charter
renewal risk are credit concerns common among all charter school
transactions that, if pressured, could negatively impact Great
Hearts Academies' rating.

CREDIT PROFILE

The two pledged schools are located in the suburbs of the greater
Phoenix metropolitan area; GHA's programs center on a rigorous
classical liberal arts curriculum. VPA enrolled a total 702
students in grades 6-12 in fall 2016, while ACV enrolled a total of
536 students in grades K-5.

GHA's 17-member board includes individuals with various business
and educational backgrounds, including the former President of the
AZ Board of Regents.

STRONG DEMAND

The schools benefit from favorable student demand, supported by
strong academic performance. VPA's long operating history is a
credit positive, with stable enrollment and strong academic
achievement. Now in its sixth academic year, ACV has demonstrated
stable enrollment and solid academic performance.

The schools' academic quality is also evidenced by their high
Arizona Department of Education rankings, the most recent being
published in 2014. Management reports that VPA and ACV outperform
state averages on Arizona's standardized testing.

The schools maintain a positive working relationship with their
authorizer, the Arizona State Board of Charter Schools (ASBCS). VPA
received its first charter renewal in 2016, a 20-year extension to
2036. ACV is still operating under its initial 15-year charter.
ASBCS performs both annual and five-year reviews for charter
schools.

VPA enrolled 702 students in grades 6-12 as of November 2016,
similar to the prior year and within budget expectations.
Management expects some incremental enrollment growth over time,
but does not intend to grow too much beyond the current level to
preserve its academic mission. Enrollment is capped at 750 students
per its charter, providing some operating flexibility.

Demand continues to be stable for ACV, with 536 students enrolled
in grades K-5 as of November 2016, also similar to prior years and
within budget expectations. ACV's charter caps enrollment at 600.

Combined fall 2016 enrollment is 1,238. The schools maintain
actively managed wait lists. VPA's student waitlist remains
adequate at 55, while ACV's waitlist is robust at 1,100. ACV's
sizeable wait list reflects strong demand at the elementary level
in the greater Phoenix area despite growing charter school
competition.

ADEQUATE MARGINS

Typical of most charter schools, revenue diversity is limited. The
schools are highly reliant on state per pupil funding (PPF), which
represented 75% of fiscal 2016 combined operating revenues.
Following relatively flat base funding during fiscal years
2010-2012, PPF has steadily increased for the fifth consecutive
year in fiscal 2017. The fiscal 2017 increase was more modest at
1%, after growth of about 2% in the previous two years base
funding. Fiscal 2016 received an additional bump in revenues late
in the fiscal year due to the approval of Proposition 123 in a
state-wide election in May 2016. Management reports that the state
pays per-pupil funding on-time.

The schools' fiscal 2016 combined operating margin was a solid
7.4%, level with the prior fiscal year. Some revenue from a
state-wide voter referendum (Prop. 123) for education was received
in fiscal 2016, but is expected to be spent in fiscal 2017. In
addition, the state's proposedfiscal 2018 budget provides for
Achievement, an incentive system for schools with academic
performance in the top 10%. If the budget is approved, this merit
funding will provide about $340,000 in additional revenue and would
be paid in fiscal 2018. The merit funding is expected to offset
funding losses due to elimination of the small-school weighting in
the AZ charter school funding formula. Prop. 123 funding is for 10
years and the Achievement funding is not expected to expire
according to management.

SLIM BALANCE SHEET

Fitch views enrollment stability and positive operations critical
as the schools' combined balance sheet resources provide little
flexibility. On a combined basis, available funds (cash and
investments not restricted) increased $640,000 to $2.7 million as
of June 30, 2016. Available funds covered fiscal 2016 combined
operating expenses and debt by a low 25.1% and 16.8%, respectively,
but reflect improvement over the prior year and meets Fitch's
expectations for the ratings category.

MODERATING DEBT BURDEN; IMPROVING COVERAGE

The schools' financial leverage remains high as measured by pro
forma MADS coverage and burden. Upward rating action is based on
improving coverage levels now that ACV has completed its fifth year
of operations in fiscal 2016. Under Fitch's charter school rating
criteria, a school with less than five years of audited operating
history cannot be included in Fitch analytical calculations. MADS
coverage was a sound 2.1x for fiscal 2016, showing continuous
operating improvement over the prior five years.

The schools' fiscal 2016 debt burden remains high, although
leverage metrics improved slightly from fiscal. MADS consumes a
high 10.3% of the schools' combined fiscal 2016 operating revenues.
Total debt outstanding of about $15.9 million also represented a
moderately-high 6.4x of combined net income available for debt
service. High leverage ratios are characteristic of the charter
school sector.

Management reports that neither VPA and ACV have material capital
or borrowing needs at this time. The current campus constructed in
2012 is relatively new. Based on a positive state funding
environment, modest enrollment growth, and lack of capital plans,
Fitch believes the school's debt burden could moderate over time.

promissory note to an institutional investor.  The Note is due July
20, 2017, and bears an interest rate of 10%, and is convertible
into shares of our common stock at $0.85 per share.  The Note was
issued with a $15,000 original issue discount.  In connection with
the issuance of the Note the Company also issued the institutional
investor a warrant to purchase 150,000 shares at $0.85 subject to
adjustment for stock splits and the like.  The warrant expires on
Jan. 20, 2018.  The proceeds of the Note and any Warrant exercises
will be used for working capital, however $10,000 of the proceeds
of the Note have been allocated to attorney fees.

assets, $2.48 million in total liabilities and a total

John Scrudato CPA, in Califon, New Jersey, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements for
the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, citing that the Company operates with
an industry that is illegal under federal law, has yet to achieve
profitable operations, has a significant accumulated deficit and is
dependent on its ability to raise capital from stockholders or
other sources to sustain operations and to ultimately achieve
viable profitable operations.  These factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

In January 2017, S&P Global Ratings lowered its corporate credit
rating on The Gymboree Corp. to 'CC' from 'CCC+'.  The
outlook is negative.  "The downgrade reflects significant near-term
refinancing requirements, limited liquidity, and continuing weak
operating performance.  We expect further profitability erosion in
the upcoming quarters and we believe the company could announce a
distressed debt restructuring transaction over the next two
quarters," said credit analyst Samantha Stone.

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 7, 2016, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded The Gymboree Corporation's Corporate Family Rating to
Caa3 from Caa1 and Probability of Default Rating to Caa3-PD from
Caa1-PD.  The downgrade of the Corporate Family Rating to Caa3
reflects Gymboree's weak operating performance and deteriorating
liquidity.  Net sales and EBITDA fell 4% and 49%, respectively, in
the quarter ended July 30, 2016 due to weak customer traffic and
margin pressure from inventory clearance activity.

the quarter ended July 30, 2016 due to weak customer traffic and
margin pressure from inventory clearance activity.

HANESBRANDS INC: S&P Revises Outlook to Stable & Affirms 'BB' CCR
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook on Winston Salem, N.C.-based
Hanesbrands Inc. to stable from negative.  At the same time, S&P
affirmed its 'BB' long-term corporate credit rating on the
company.

Hanesbrands has executed well on its deleveraging plan in 2016
after a surge in financial leverage following its acquisitions of
Champion Europe and Pacific Brands.

S&P also affirmed its 'BB' issue rating on each tranche of the
company's unsecured debt obligations.  The recovery rating is
unchanged at '3', indicating S&P's expectation of recovery at the
lower end of the 50%-70% range in the event of a default.

In addition, S&P affirmed its 'BBB-' issue ratings on Hanesbrands'
first-lien facilities.  The recovery rating remains at '1' to
indicate S&P's expectation of 90%-100% recovery in the event of a
default.

S&P estimates the company's adjusted debt was approximately $3.9
billion as of Dec. 31, 2016, including S&P's adjustments for
operating leases and pensions.

"The outlook revision stems from our forecast that Hanesbrands'
financial leverage will strengthen to comfortably below 4x in 2017
following a temporary spike in debt in 2016," said S&P Global
Ratings credit analyst Peter DeLuca.  The increase in leverage was
a result of incremental debt to fund the acquisitions of Champion
Europe and Pacific Brands, as well as share repurchases.

The company unexpectedly has announced a continuation of about $300
million worth of share repurchases in 2017, which will temper the
pace of improvement to leverage in the coming years, compared with
S&P's previous expectations.  However, the company has executed
well on integrating the two acquisitions so far, and S&P believes
financial leverage will decrease in 2017 as a result of the
full-year EBITDA consolidation of Champion Europe and Pacific
Brands.  Consequently, S&P expects the debt-to-EBITDA ratio will
approach 3.7x in 2017 and be close to 3.5x in 2018, compared with a
peak of about 4.7x during 2016.

The ratings reflect Hanesbrands' solid global market positions in
the everyday basic innerwear and athletic apparel segments, which
are mitigated by the company's participation in the highly
competitive apparel industry and a weak retail environment in its
core U.S. market.  Domestic retailers, particularly in sports
equipment, are struggling, and face store closings and inventory
tightening, which, in turn, put pressure on apparel companies.  The
stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that Hanesbrands'
operating performance will be supported by consistent replacement
demand for undergarments, solid expense management in its global
manufacturing base, and synergies resulting from its recent
acquisitions.  S&P also projects leverage declining to well below
4x over the next two years from steady EBITDA growth, while the
company continues to invest in the business and maintain its
dividend and share repurchase activity.  Nevertheless, organic
top-line growth will likely remain weak because of the challenged
domestic retail environment, intense competition, and foreign
exchange headwinds.  As a result, Hanesbrands will have to continue
to execute well on cost-cutting and achieving synergies to grow
margins.

S&P could raise its ratings if Hanesbrands is able to demonstrate
solid organic top-line growth while expanding margins through
effective cost management.  S&P believes this is achievable if it
is able to strengthen its competitive position in the global
apparel markets, the U.S. retail environment improves, foreign
exchange headwinds moderate, and the company is able to effectively
manage its cost base to offset cost inflation.

Alternatively, S&P could consider raising ratings if the company
unexpectedly commits to reducing leverage on a sustained basis so
that the debt-to-EBITDA ratio remains below 3x over S&P's forecast
horizon.  S&P estimates that this could occur if the company pays
down approximately $600 million of debt (assuming debt and EBITDA
as per S&P's base-case scenario for 2017.)  

S&P could lower its ratings if Hanesbrands' credit metrics are
projected to weaken considerably, including debt to EBITDA staying
above 4.0x.  This could occur from a large debt-financed
acquisition, significant change in shareholder returns, an
unexpected rise in input costs that the company is unable to pass
on to customers due to competition, material unfavorable foreign
exchange movements, and further weakening of the retail
environment.


HCA INC: S&P Affirms 'BB' CCR on Cost Reduction Efforts
-------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BBB-' issue-level rating (two
notches above the corporate credit rating) to Nashville-based HCA
Inc.'s proposed $1,197 million senior secured term loan B-8, which
is being issued to refinance the company's term loan B-7.  The new
term loan matures in 2024 (the same as the debt it refinances), but
carries a lower interest rate.  S&P assigned a '1' recovery rating
to this debt, indicating its expectation of very high (90%-100%)
recovery for lenders in the event of a payment default.  The
issue-level ratings are the same as S&P's ratings on the existing
senior secured debt.

S&P's 'BB' corporate credit rating on HCA reflects S&P's view that
its scale relative to other health care services peers should allow
the company to better offset declining reimbursement rates with
cost reduction efforts, and that its scale and market presence
should aid in contract negotiations with commercial payors.  In
addition, HCA's business is diversified beyond inpatient hospital
services, with about 38% of revenues coming from outpatient
procedures.  These factors are only partially offset by S&P's view
that HCA is exposed to reimbursement pressure as government and
commercial payors seek to control costs, and its business is
geographically concentrated in two states, Texas and Florida, which
together represent about half of the company's revenues.

S&P's ratings on HCA also reflect S&P's view that the company will
maintain leverage around 4x and generate funds from operations
(FFO) to total debt in the mid- to high-teens area.  S&P's ratings
also incorporate its expectation that HCA will continue to generate
significant operating cash flow, but S&P expects the company to
invest heavily in capital expenditures and to continue to
prioritize shareholder return over debt repayment.

HEBREW HEALTH: Asks Court for 30-Day Plan Filing Period Extension
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hebrew Health Care, Inc. and its affiliated Debtors ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut to extend their
exclusive periods for filing a chapter 11 plan and soliciting
acceptances to the plan for 30 days, or until March 13, 2017 and
May 14, 2017, respectively.

The Debtors currently have until February 15, 2017 to file a
chapter 11 plan of reorganization, and until April 14, 2017 to
solicit acceptances to their plan.

The Debtors tell the Court that despite their management's best
efforts, the Debtors have exhausted their cash reserves, including
those unrestricted funds held by the Hebrew Health Care Foundation,
Inc., an affiliated not-for-profit entity which is not a debtor in
the proceedings.  The Debtors further tell the Court that through
the Chapter 11 process, they believe that by eliminating their
skilled nursing home facility business, the Debtors can now operate
its hospital, assisted living facility and its community-based
geriatric programs as profitable businesses.

The Court approved the sale of Hebrew Home and Hospital,
Incorporated's skilled nursing facility business, which closed on
December 21, 2016.

The Debtors relate that subsequent to the Asset Sale Closing Date,
Hebrew Home and Hospital Incorporated has been addressing issues
related to the transition, including issues with contracts and
employees.  The Debtors further relate that Hebrew Home and
Hospital Incorporated has also been addressing operational issues
at the hospital which was not sold and remains under the control of
Hebrew Home and Hospital Incorporated post-sale.

The Debtors assert that the loss of exclusivity would have a
deleterious effect on the Debtors, their estates, their creditors,
and all parties in interest.  The Debtors further assert that it
would be nearly impossible for them to dedicate sufficient
resources to formulating a new plan if the Debtors were required to
focus on analyzing and responding to competing plans submitted by
other parties.  The Debtors add that the Exclusivity Periods has
given them much needed breathing space to identify problem areas
and then implement necessary changes that will inure to the benefit
of the Debtors, their creditors and their estates.  The Debtors
contend that if they cannot preserve the exclusive right to present
and file a plan of reorganization, they may not be able to continue
to implement changes to their business and at the same time
construct a plan of reorganization and address competing plans of
reorganization.

            About Hebrew Health Care, Inc.

Hebrew Health Care, Inc. provides management, human resources and
payroll services to its three subsidiaries Hebrew Life Choices
Inc., Hebrew Community Services Inc., and Hebrew Home and Hospital,
Incorporated.  The three provides rehabilitation services.

16-21311, 16-21312, 16-21313, and 16-21314, respectively) on Aug.
15, 2016.  The petitions were signed by Bonnie Gauthier, CEO. Their
cases are assigned to Judge Ann M. Nevins.

HEXION INC: Moody's Affirms Caa2 Corporate Family Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the ratings of Hexion Inc. (Caa2
Corporate Family Rating) and changed its outlook to stable
following the successful refinancing of its 1.5 lien notes due
2018. Moody's also raised Hexion's Speculative Grade Liquidity
rating to SGL-3 from SGL-4 due to the expectation that the company
would be able to maintain adequate liquidity over the next 12-18
months.

"We stabilized Hexion's outlook as it was able to eliminate its
2018 maturity without any reduction in liquidity," stated John
Rogers, Senior Vice President at Moody's. "While free cash flow is
expected to remain negative, Moody's believe that Hexion will take
the actions necessary to prevent any material reduction in
liquidity over the next 18 months."

Rating affirmed:

RATING RATIONALE

Hexion's Caa2 CFR reflects its elevated leverage of over 9 times,
weak cash flow from operations and negative free cash flow. The
change in Hexion's outlook to stable and the upgrade of its
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating to SGL-3 from SGL-4 reflects
Hexion's more than adequate liquidity of approximately $510 million
as of year-end 2016, as well as the expectation that the company
could undertake additional assets sales if necessary to prevent any
material deterioration in its liquidity over the next 12-18 months.
As part of the refinancing of its 1.5 lien notes, Hexion's ABL
lending facility will be reduced to $350 million from $400 million,
as asset sales have reduced the available borrowing base. While the
facility matures in 2021, triggers in the facility accelerate its
maturity to 91 days before any significant debt maturity. Hexion
was able to generate over $300 million in assets sales in 2016 to
offset negative free cash flow and repurchase over $200 million of
debt (with a face value closer to $300 million).

In 2017, Hexion's financial performance should improve due to
additional cost reduction efforts, a further rebound in US shale
fracking that should provide meaningful volume growth in the
proppants business, a modest increase in Forest Product Resins
volumes in North America and additional earnings from the two Gulf
Coast formaldehyde plants started up in 2016, as well as expected
growth in waterborne epoxy coatings. However, headwinds from a
stronger US dollar and increasing price pressure in base epoxies
could offset some of the expected increase in profitability that
Moody's has projected for 2017. Moody's expects free cash flow to
remain negative by $40-60 million, and that Hexion will continue to
take the actions necessary to avoid a material erosion in liquidity
over the next 18 months.

The ratings could be upgraded if leverage declined below 7.0 times,
the company is able to generate positive free cash flow and it
refinances its 2020 maturities. However, if free cash flow rises
sustainably above $50 million and RCF/Debt rises above 4%, Moody's
could upgrade the rating sooner. The ratings would be subject to a
further downgrade if liquidity declines below $250 million.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global Chemical
Industry Rating Methodology published in December 2013.

Hexion Inc., headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, is a leading producer
of thermoset resins (epoxy, formaldehyde and acrylic). The company
is also a supplier of specialty resins sold to a diverse customer
base as well as a producer of commodities such as formaldehyde,
bisphenol A (BPA), epichlorohydrin (ECH), versatic acid and related
derivatives. Revenues are approximately $3.4 billion as of December
31, 2016. The majority owner of Hexion is an affiliate of Apollo
Management.


HEXION US: Moody's Corrects Rating on Sr. Sec. Notes to Caa1
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service is correcting the rating on the USD 1.55
billion Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2020 issued by Hexion
US Finance Corp. and assumed by Hexion Inc. to Caa1 (LGD3) from B3
(LGD3). Due to an internal administrative error, the rating on
these notes was not downgraded on January 20, 2017, when Moody's
downgraded Hexion Inc.'s senior secured first lien debt rating to
Caa1 (LGD3) from B3 (LGD3).


IHS MARKIT: Moody's Assigns Ba1 Rating to $500MM New Sr. Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba1 rating to IHS Markit
Ltd.'s proposed $500 million of new senior notes. IHS Markit's
existing ratings, including its Ba1 Corporate Family Rating (CFR)
and senior unsecured debt ratings, Ba1-PD Probability of Default
Rating and its SGL-1 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating are not
affected. The ratings outlook is stable. The company plans to use
the proceeds from the new notes for working capital and general
corporate purposes, including repayment of outstanding revolver
borrowings and share repurchases.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The new notes offering will enhance IHS Markit's liquidity to
finance share repurchases. On January 30, 2017, IHS Markit
announced a modified share repurchase authorization of up to $2.25
billion which will expire on May 31, 2018. Assuming that the
company executes $2.25 billion of share buybacks by May 2018,
Moody's expects IHS Markit's gross debt could increase by about
$900 million to $1 billion by May 2018 (from the $3.4 billion of
total debt at FYE November 2016). Moody's estimates that total debt
to adjusted EBITDA could increase and remain near 3x over the next
12 to 18 months, at the high end of management's targeted range of
2x to 3x, up from 2.5x it reported at fiscal year-end 2016. On a
Moody's adjusted basis, total debt to EBITDA is expected to
increase to about 3.8x by FYE 2018.

The Ba1 CFR reflects IHS Markit's enhanced scale, a high proportion
of recurring revenues and sizeable free cash flow which Moody's
expects to be in the mid-to- high teens percentages of total debt
(Moody's adjusted) in the next 12 to 18 months. Moody's expects
continuing headwinds in the energy industry to constrain IHS
Markit's organic revenue growth to about 2% to 3% in FY 2017 but
EBITDA should grow at a faster rate from cost reductions. The
rating also reflects the high execution risk in combining the
legacy operations of IHS with Markit, IHS Markit's highly
acquisitive growth strategy and its moderately high leverage over
the next 12 to 18 months.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that IHS Markit's
free cash flow should exceed 15% of total adjusted debt over the
next 12 to 18 months and total debt to EBITDA (Moody's adjusted)
will remain below 4x over this period.

IHS Markit's ratings could be downgraded if weak operating
performance, challenges in integrating Markit or deviations in
financial policies cause total debt to EBITDA to be sustained above
4x (Moody's adjusted) and free cash flow-to-total debt to be
sustained below 15% (Moody's adjusted).

Given IHS Markit's moderately high leverage and integration risk, a
ratings upgrade is not expected over the near term. Moody's could
raise IHS Markit's ratings if it maintains strong earnings growth
and demonstrates a commitment to more conservative financial
policies. The ratings could be upgraded if Moody's expects IHS
Markit's total debt to EBITDA (Moody's adjusted) to be sustained
below 3.0x.

IMAGING3 INC: Final Decree Entered; Fees Approved
-------------------------------------------------
Imaging3, Inc. on Feb. 6, 2017, disclosed that, on Jan. 31 2017,
United States Bankruptcy Judge for the Central District of
California, Neil Bason, granted the company's unopposed motion for
entry of final decree and also granted approval of the two
stipulations regarding payment of court-approved fees.  As a
result, the Imaging3 Chapter 11 proceeding is now closed -- the
company is no longer subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy
Court, and the case cannot be converted to a Chapter 7 proceeding.

Stated Dane Medley, president: "I would like to thank our
noteholders, our vendors, and all the financial and legal advisors
who worked tirelessly throughout this process.  We are now poised
to capitalize on the promising opportunities that lie ahead for
Imaging3."

Scott Pancoast, consultant to the company, said, "Dane Medley has
shepherded Imaging3 through an extremely difficult process these
last few years.  His leadership and courage, along with the
patience and support from many stakeholders, culminated in this
successful outcome. "

He continued, "One month ago, Imaging3 was a company mired in
bankruptcy, with twelve notes in default and an additional $1.5
million owed to various vendors.  It has since restructured its
notes, stretched out much of the vendor debt over three years, and
negotiated down (or paid off) the remainder vendor debt . . . . and
is now clear of the bankruptcy and all the related constraints.
This is an extraordinary accomplishment for Imaging3, as it can now
focus on leveraging its technology and building a business."

INFILTRATOR WATER: Moody's Affirms B2 Corporate Family Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the B2 Corporate Family Rating
("CFR") and a B2-PD Probability of Default Rating to Infiltrator
Water Technologies, LLC. Infiltrator announced that it will upsize
its first lien term loan by $100 million and use the proceeds to
repay its $100 million second lien term loan. As a result of
Infiltrator's debt capital structure being comprised primarily of
first lien term debt, Moody's downgraded the senior secured first
lien term loan to B2 from B1, consistent with the B2 CFR. Moody's
also downgraded the company's $40 million senior secured revolver
to B2 from B1. The Caa1 rating of the senior secured second lien
term loan remains unchanged and will be withdrawn upon closing of
the incremental first lien term loan. The rating outlook is
stable.

The following rating actions were taken:

Corporate Family Rating, affirmed at B2;

Probability of Default Rating, affirmed at B2-PD;

$40 million senior secured revolver, downgraded to B2, LGD4 from
B1, LGD3;

$341 million senior secured first lien term loan (including $100
million incremental term loan), downgraded to B2, LGD4 from B1,
LGD3;

$100 million senior secured second lien term loan, unchanged at
Caa1, to be withdrawn upon closing of the incremental first lien
term loan;

The rating outlook is stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Infiltrator's B2 Corporate Family Rating ("CFR") reflects its
strong market position in the onsite wastewater industry, strong
EBITA margins, modest free cash flow generation and large,
geographically diverse distribution network. Offsetting these
strengths are the company's small size, high debt leverage,
customer concentration, and volatility associated with single
family housing and commercial construction end markets. Moody's
expects the company's operating performance and key metrics to
improve as single family and commercial construction end markets
continue to recover, and as the adoption to plastic wastewater and
stormwater products from traditional concrete, stone and pipe
products gains momentum.

Infiltrator has a leading position in the septic leachfield
industry and is a leading provider of plastic chambers for
subsurface stormwater retention and detention systems. The
company's product line offers advantages over traditional
materials, including efficient and cost effective installation,
reduced drainfield footprint area, and design flexibility.
Infiltrator has a dedicated regulatory team which combines
engineering and regulatory management capabilities to drive new
product design, gain approval for new products, advance policy and
legislation for existing products, and maintain existing product
approvals. It has 77 active patents which mitigate competition.
Despite its strong market position, the Infiltrator is very small
compared to its rated peers.

EBITA margin is strong when compared to other manufacturing
companies. For the period ending October 2, 2016, EBITA margin was
23.6%. Moody's expects margins to remain strong in 2017.
Profitability is driven in large part by the use of recycled
materials and operating leverage through unit margin growth. In
addition to strong margins, free cash flow generation is supported
by the company's low annual maintenance capital expenditures. As a
result and absent a change in the competitive landscape, Moody's
expects EBITA margin to remain strong through economic cycles,
similar to margins the company sustained during the last
recession.

Infiltrator has over 1,300 distribution locations and 400
distribution locations through its relationship with Advanced
Drainage Systems ("ADS"). ADS is Infiltrator's largest customer,
representing approximately 25% of total revenue. Loss of its
relationship with ADS could negatively impact Infiltrator's
operating performance and financial condition.

Primary end markets served include single-family construction,
repair and remodel, and commercial construction which are
improving. Onsite wastewater solutions growth is closely correlated
with single-family home construction. Tanks and leachfield products
generally lag housing starts by approximately six months.
Infiltrator derives over 80% of its revenue from its wastewater
products, so any retraction in single family home starts foreshadow
weakening sales. Positively, replacement demand for leachfield
products is relatively stable due to the non-discretionary nature
of failing septic systems. Management estimates replacement of
leachfield installations represented approximately 40% to total
Infiltrator installations.

The stable rating outlook incorporates Moody's views that
Infiltrator's operating performance will remain strong consistent
with the stability of the company's key end markets. Operating
improvement, along with modest debt repayment, should lead to
improvement in the company's key credit metrics.

Moody's indicated that a ratings upgrade over the near-term would
be unlikely given Infiltrator's small size. Over the longer term,
the rating could be upgraded if the company continues to grow its
revenue base and market position, while end markets demonstrate
solid growth. In addition, Infiltrator would need to reduce its
single customer concentration. The company would also need to
reduce adjusted debt to EBITDA below 5.0x, grow its adjusted EBITA
margin in excess of 25% and generate solid free cash flow, all on a
sustainable basis.

The ratings could come under pressure should the company's adjusted
debt to EBITDA increase beyond 6.5x and adjusted EBIT to interest
expense declines below 1.7x for an extended period of time whether
due to weak operating performance, a change in the competitive
landscape or aggressive acquisition activity. Additional pressure
would occur if Infiltrator's EBITA margin declines below 17%.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global
Manufacturing Companies published in July 2014.

Infiltrator is a leading provider of engineered plastic chambers,
synthetic aggregate leachfields, tanks, and accessories of the
onsite wastewater and stormwater industries. In May 2015, Ontario
Teacher's Pension Plan ("OTPP" or the "Sponsor") purchased
Infiltrator for a total purchase price of $530 million. For the
year ended October 2, 2016, Infiltrator generated approximately
$224 million in total revenue.


INFILTRATOR WATER: S&P Lowers Rating on 1st-Lien Term Loan to 'B'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said it has lowered its issue-level rating on
U.S.-based Infiltrator Water Technologies LLC's first-lien term
loan due May 2022 to 'B' (the same as the corporate credit rating)
from 'B+'.  Infiltrator is increasing the amount of the term loan
to $345 million via a $100 million add-on from the previous
$245 million first-lien amount.  Infiltrator will use the debt
proceeds to repay in full its $100 million second-lien term loan
due May 2023, which will lead to an interest expense reduction of
approximately $5 million per year.

The downgrade of the first-lien term loan is due to reduced overall
recovery prospects given the $100 million increase in the term loan
amount.  At the same time, S&P revised the recovery rating on the
company's revolver facility and first-lien term loan to '3' from
'2', indicating S&P's expectation of meaningful (50% to 70%; higher
half of the range) recovery in the event of a payment default.

S&P's 'B' corporate credit rating and stable outlook on the company
are unchanged.

S&P expects Infiltrator's adjusted debt leverage to be about 4.7x
in the next 12 months.  S&P expects the company to maintain
adequate liquidity.

INTELLIPHARMACEUTICS INT'L: FDA Accepts for Filing NDA for Rexista
------------------------------------------------------------------
Intellipharmaceutics International Inc. has accepted for filing the
Company's previously-announced New Drug Application seeking
authorization to market its RexistaTM abuse-deterrent oxycodone
hydrochloride extended release tablets in the 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg,
30 mg, 40 mg, 60 mg and 80 mg strengths.  The FDA has determined
that the Company's application is sufficiently complete to permit a
substantive review, and has set a target action date under the
Prescription Drug User Fee Act of Sept. 25, 2017.

RexistaTM is indicated for the management of pain severe enough to
require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment and for
which alternative treatment options are inadequate.  The submission
is supported by pivotal pharmacokinetic studies that demonstrated
that RexistaTM is bioequivalent to OxyContin (oxycodone
hydrochloride extended release).  The submission also includes
abuse-deterrent studies conducted to support abuse-deterrent label
claims related to abuse of the drug by various pathways, including
oral, intra-nasal and intravenous, having reference to the FDA's
"Abuse-Deterrent Opioids — Evaluation and Labelling" guidance
published in April 2015.

The abuse-deterrent properties incorporated into RexistaTM are
designed to make the product unlikable and discourage or make it
more difficult to manipulate for the purpose of abuse or misuse via
common routes of administration including: ingestion following
chewing, licking or crushing; insufflation; inhalation; or
injection.  If approved, RexistaTM may be the only abuse-deterrent
oxycodone product with properties that may provide early warning of
drug abuse if the product is manipulated or abused.  The Company
previously announced the results of a food effect study which
showed that RexistaTM can be administered with or without a meal
(i.e., no food effect), providing another point of differentiation
from currently marketed oral oxycodone extended release products.

The CEO of Intellipharmaceutics, Dr. Isa Odidi, said, "The
acceptance of filing of our NDA for RexistaTM represents an
important step towards the commercialization of a potentially
best–in-class abuse-deterrent oxycodone hydrochloride extended
release product.  We look forward to working with the FDA during
their review of our NDA submission."

There can be no assurance that the Company will not be required to
conduct further studies for RexistaTM, that the FDA will ultimately
approve the NDA for the sale of RexistaTM in the U.S. market, or
that it will ever be successfully commercialized.

INTRALINKS INC: S&P Raises CCR to 'BB-', Off CreditWatch Negative
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its corporate credit rating on IntraLinks
Inc. to 'BB-' from 'B+' and removed the rating from CreditWatch,
where it had been placed with negative implications on Dec. 7,
2016.  S&P then withdrew its ratings on IntraLinks' debt and
subsequently withdrew S&P's corporate credit rating on IntraLinks.
At the time of the withdrawal, the outlook was stable.

The rating withdrawal follows the closing of Bridgewater,
N.J.-based Synchronoss Technologies Inc.'s acquisition of New York
City-based IntraLinks.

"IntraLinks will be fully integrated into Synchronoss' operations,
and accordingly we have equalized our corporate credit rating on
Intralinks with our rating on Synchronoss," said S&P Global Ratings
credit analyst Geoffrey Wilson.  "In addition, due to a
change-of-control provision in IntraLinks' credit agreement, all
existing IntraLinks debt was repaid, so we are withdrawing all
ratings on IntraLinks," Mr. Wilson added.

J.G. NASCON: Selling Equipment for $20K
---------------------------------------
J.G. Nascon, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania to authorize the sale of equipment for
$29,600.

The Debtor is a heavy and highway construction property located in
Eddystone, Pennsylvania, providing full-service site contracting to
the tri-state region.  As of the Filing Date, the Debtor has
approximately 25 employees.

The Debtor is seeking to sell these Equipment:

   a. 1999 Ford Water Truck with serial number 3FENF8015XMA17046
purchased from Waeco Equipment on June 18, 2009 (advertised sale
price is $10,000);

   b. Trench Roller with serial number 3998134 purchased from
Norris Sales on April 12, 2000 (advertised sale price is $4,900);

   c. Rock Box - 7 yard purchased from Norris Sales on Nov. 1, 2011
(advertised sale price is $4,900);

   d. Brush cutter with serial number 282682 purchased from
Plasterer Equipment on Sept. 30, 2011 (advertised sale price is
$4,900); and

   e. Broom Attachment for a Skid Steer (advertised sale price is
$4,900).

As of the Filing Date, the Debtor owned, and continues to own, the
Equipment.  Through continued efforts of the Debtor, the Debtor is
marketing the Equipment and is seeking a total amount of $29,600.
The Debtor does not currently have a buyer for any of the
Equipment.

The Debtor intends to negotiate and finalize bills of sale prior to
the Sale Hearing requested and submits the same for approval.  The
terms will be "as-is" "where-is."  The sale proceeds will assist
the Debtor in its reorganization efforts.

The Debtor avers that, with the sale of the Equipment, as currently
advertised, the Debtor will benefit the estate by adding additional
monies to the estate which is necessary for reorganization.
Accordingly, the Debtor asks the Court to approve the sale of the
Equipment free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, and
other interests.

Case No. 15-18704) on Dec. 4, 2015, in Philadelphia.  The Debtor
tapped Albert A. Ciardi, III, Esq., and Jennifer E. Cranston,
Esq., at Ciardi Ciardi & Astin, P.C., as attorneys.  The Debtor
estimated $1 million to $10 million in assets and debt.


JAMUL INDIAN: S&P Lowers ICR to 'B-', On CreditWatch Negative
-------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said it lowered its ratings, including its
issuer credit rating, on Jamul, Calif.-based Jamul Indian Village
Development Corp. (JIVDC) to 'B-' from 'B' and placed them on
CreditWatch with negative implications.

"The downgrade and CreditWatch listing reflect our belief that
there is an increasing likelihood that EBITDA in the first full
year of operations may not ramp up to a level that fully covers
cash fixed charges (including interest expense, amortization,
priority distributions to the tribe, and modest maintenance capital
expenditures)," said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Ariel
Silverberg.

As a result, S&P believes that Jamul's liquidity position could be
impaired if EBITDA generation and cash balances are insufficient
over the next few quarters to fully cover cash needs.  S&P expects
EBITDA generation in the first full year of operations will be
meaningfully lower than S&P's prior forecast partly because of
aggressive marketing and promotional activity by existing nearby
competitors that is resulting in lower than expected visitation to
Hollywood Casino Jamul.

S&P expects to resolve the CreditWatch listing once it has
sufficient information to assess JIVDC's liquidity position and its
ability to ramp up cash flow generation to a level sufficient to
meet its cash fixed charges.  S&P also plans to evaluate JIVDC's
plans to address a potential covenant violation with its lending
group prior to the first measurement date.

LIME ENERGY: To Effect a 1-for-300 Reverse Stock Split
------------------------------------------------------
A special meeting of stockholders of Lime Energy Co. was held on
Jan. 31, 2017, at which the holders of the Company's common stock
and the holders of the Company's Series C preferred stock voted on
proposed amendments to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
intended to enable the Company to reduce the number of record
holders of the Common Stock, so as to allow the Company to
terminate registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(g) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Terminating such
registration will allow the Company to suspend its reporting
obligations under the Exchange Act and thereby eliminate the
significant tangible and intangible costs of being a reporting
company under the Exchange Act.

Specifically, the stockholders:

   (1) authorized the amendment of the Company's Certificate of
       Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the
       Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock at a ratio of
       1-for-300;

   (2) authorized the amendment of the Company's Certificate of
       Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the
       Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock at a ratio of
       1-for-500:

   (3) authorized the amendment of the Company's Certificate of
       Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the
       Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock at a ratio of
       1-for-1,000; and

   (4) authorized the amendment of the Company's Certificate of
       Incorporation to effect a forward stock split of the
       Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock at a ratio of
       300-for-1 (only if Option 1 is implemented), 500-for-1
      (only if Option 2 is implemented), or 1,000-for-1 (only if
       Option 3 is implemented).

Immediately following the Special Meeting, the Board of Directors
of the Company met and determined to implement a reverse stock
split of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock at a
ratio of 1-for-300, immediately followed by a forward stock split
of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock at a ratio of
300-for-1, and authorized the filing of the proposed amendments to
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of
State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split and the Forward
Stock Split.  Each stockholder of record owning fewer than 300
shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective time of
the Reverse Stock Split (6:00 p.m. on Feb. 10, 2017) will receive a
cash payment equal to the greater of (A) $2.49 and (B) the average
closing market price over the 10-day period ending on
Feb. 10, 2017 (subject to any applicable U.S. federal, state and
local withholding tax), without interest, per pre-split share. Each
stockholder of record owning at least 300 shares of Common Stock
immediately prior to the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split
will continue to hold the same number of shares of Common Stock
after completion of the Reverse Stock Split and the Forward Stock
Split.

MAPLE HEIGHTS, OH: Moody's Confirms B3 Rating on GOLT Bonds
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has confirmed the B3 rating on the City
of Maple Heights, OH's outstanding general obligation limited tax
(GOLT) bonds. The rating is the same as Moody's internal assessment
of the city's hypothetical general obligation unlimited tax rating.
The lack of notching reflects the full faith and credit nature of
the city's GOLT pledge and the availability of all general
operating revenue to pay debt service. Concurrently, a stable
outlook has been assigned.

This action concludes a review undertaken in conjunction with the
publication on December 19, 2016 of the US Local Government General
Obligation Debt Methodology.

The B3 rating incorporates the city's improving but still very weak
financial position and the operating vulnerabilities arising from a
very challenged economic profile. The city's contracting labor
market, declining population and falling resident income remain
sources of potential instability in local income tax collections.
The rating further reflects a very high pension burden resulting
from the city's participation in two underfunded cost-sharing
retirement plans.

Rating Outlook

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations that improving
liquidity limits the probability of a near-term default with
notable bondholder loss, while significant obstacles to sustained
economic recovery could still challenge the city's financial
position in the coming years.

Factors that Could Lead to an Upgrade

Improved liquidity across governmental funds

Stabilization of negative tax base and economic trends

Factors that Could Lead to a Downgrade

Sustained economic challenges that pressure local income tax
collections

Lack of progress in financial recovery efforts and failure to
improve governmental fund liquidity

Legal Security

The city's debt is secured by its pledge and authorization to levy
taxes subject to its own 10.5 charter millage cap.

Use of Proceeds

Not applicable.

Obligor Profile

Maple Heights is a suburban community located approximately 10
miles southeast of downtown Cleveland (A1 stable). Its current
population is estimated at 22,600.

Methodology

The principal methodology used in this rating was US Local
Government General Obligation Debt published in December 2016.

Kevin McClatchy, the chairman of McClatchy's board, said Forman has
the knowledge, experience and perspective needed to lead McClatchy
into the future at a critical time for journalism.

"Craig is a clear-eyed realist, but also an optimist, and he has
the energy we need to drive us forward," McClatchy said.  "I've
worked closely with Craig on the board, and he has played an
instrumental role in guiding the board and focusing on our digital
transformation.  He has also come to know the extraordinary people
who work at McClatchy, so he is well positioned to dive into this
work."

Forman began his career as a reporter and bureau chief for the Wall
Street Journal, where he was part of the reporting team whose
coverage of the Persian Gulf War was a finalist for the 1991
Pulitzer Prize in International Journalism.

"McClatchy has a storied history of journalistic integrity, and I'm
honored and energized by the opportunity to help shepherd it into
the future," Forman said.  "Through three years on the board of the
company, I know that no team anywhere has a better understanding of
the challenges facing the print newspaper economic model.  But we
have an incredible team at McClatchy, dedicated to serving our
customers and our neighbors from Sacramento to Miami and in dozens
of communities in between.  I'm thrilled to join them in the
day-to-day work of running the company and using technology as a
catalyst for growth."

Forman holds an undergraduate degree in public and international
affairs from Princeton University and earned a master's degree in
law from Yale University.  He will work from McClatchy's corporate
headquarters in Sacramento.

The term of the Employment Agreement is two years unless terminated
earlier by the Company or Mr. Forman under the Employment
Agreement.  Mr. Forman's annual base salary is set at $900,000,
which may be increased by the Compensation Committee of the Board
during the term of the Employment Agreement.  Mr. Forman will be
eligible to receive an annual cash bonus for the Company's fiscal
years 2017 and 2018 based on performance objectives established by
the Committee each such fiscal year.  Mr. Forman's target Annual
Cash Incentive amount for each such fiscal year will be 100% of his
base salary or such higher amount as designated by the Committee.
For fiscal year 2017, if Mr. Forman remains employed by the Company
on the last day of such fiscal year, the Committee will award Mr.
Forman an Annual Incentive of at least $900,000.

Talamantes, 52, was named McClatchy's president and chief executive
officer in 2012 after serving for 11 years as the Company's chief
financial officer.

"We appreciate the leadership and integrity Pat demonstrated to the
company as CEO and, before that, as CFO," said McClatchy. "It's
been a pleasure and honor for the board and for the McClatchy
family to work with him, as we know it has been for McClatchy's
employees.  Pat led our Company through turbulent times and,
because of his great efforts, we are coming off a year of strong
growth in audience and digital advertising revenue.  Pat has well
positioned the Company for the future and was specifically
instrumental in preparing for this next chapter.  We are all
grateful for and better because of his service."

Mr. Talamantes left the Company on Jan. 25, 2017, to pursue other
opportunities.  Mr. Talamantes also resigned as a member of the
Company's Board of Directors effective on the same date.  Mr.
Talamantes' end of service will be treated as a termination without
cause under the terms of his employment agreement with the Company,
dated May 16, 2015.

McClatchy reported a net loss of $300 million on $1.05 billion of

                           *     *     *

McClatchy carries a 'Caa1' corporate family rating from Moody's
Investors Service.  In May 2011, Moody's changed the rating
outlook from stable to positive following the company's
announcement that it closed on the sale of land in Miami for
$236 million.  The outlook change reflects Moody's expectation
that McClatchy will utilize the net proceeds to reduce debt,
including its underfunded pension position, which will reduce
leverage by approximately half a turn and lower required
contributions to the pension plan over the next few years.

As reported by the TCR on April 2, 2014, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services affirmed all ratings on U.S. newspaper company The
McClatchy Co., including the 'B-' corporate credit rating, and
revised the rating outlook to stable from positive.  The outlook
revision to stable reflects S&P's expectation that the
timeframe for a potential upgrade lies beyond the next 12 months,
and could also depend on the company realizing value from its
digital minority interests.

MISSISSIPPI POWER: Moody's Puts Ba2 Rating on Review for Downgrade
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed Mississippi Power Company's
ratings on review for downgrade, including its Baa3 senior
unsecured, Baa3 Issuer Rating, Ba2 preferred stock and VMIG-3
short-term pollution control revenue bond rating. The ratings of
the parent company, The Southern Company (Southern, Baa2 senior

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Mississippi Power Company

-- Outlook, Changed To Rating Under Review From Negative

RATINGS RATIONALE

"The review of Mississippi Power's ratings considers the declining
competitiveness of the Kemper Integrated Gasification Combined
Cycle (IGCC) plant as project costs have continued to rise,
operating costs are increasing, and natural gas prices remain low"
said Michael G. Haggarty, Associate Managing Director. As of the
end of 2016, total project costs had increased to over $7 billion,
more than double the original estimate. The review also reflects
the continued inability of the company to place the plant into
service, with nine schedule extensions of the in-service date
announced thus far, the most recent last week. These developments
increase the risk that the company will not receive full regulatory
recovery of $2.88 billion of plant costs subject to a cost cap
established by the Mississippi Public Service Commission, $1.5
billion of costs not subject to the cap, which continue to
increase, and higher operating costs once the plant is placed into
service.

On Jan. 31, 2017, Southern and Mississippi Power disclosed that the
updated annual Southern system fuel forecast for 2017, completed
late last year, reflected significantly lower long-term estimated
natural gas costs than had been previously projected. As a result,
Mississippi Power is updating the Kemper IGCC plant's "project
economic viability analysis", which compares its competitiveness to
a natural gas combined cycle plant. The utility has indicated that
this analysis is required by the Mississippi Public Service
Commission and has not been done since 2015. Southern and
Mississippi Power expect the reduction in projected long-term
natural gas prices and higher estimated operating costs for the
project to negatively impact the analysis.

The review of Mississippi Power's rating will consider the results
of the utility's project economic viability analysis, which the
company expects to be completed before the end of this month; the
impact that analysis may have on the company's regulators and the
prospects for recovery of the remaining recoverable project costs;
the company's success or failure in meeting the latest projected
in-service date of late February; the parent company's continued
credit and liquidity support for Mississippi Power; as well as the
standalone financial condition of Mississippi Power if and when the
Kemper plant is fully operational, including whether the utility
will exhibit financial metrics consistent with an investment grade
rating.

Southern's ratings and stable outlook are unchanged, reflecting
Mississippi Power's position as one of Southern's smaller utility
subsidiaries, with the Kemper project having a material but thus
far manageable impact on the parent's consolidated financial
condition. This is particularly the case since Southern's 2016
acquisition of AGL Resources, Inc. (now Southern Company Gas),
which increased its overall scale, diversification, and resiliency.
Although Southern has taken over $2.5 billion of pre-tax charges
related to Kemper, the company's downgrade to Baa2 last year was
largely attributable to higher parent debt levels and lower
financial metrics due to the largely debt financed AGL
acquisition.

Southern's rating could be negatively affected if there are
additional, material debt financed acquisitions at the parent
company; if there are further delays or cost increases at Georgia
Power Company's (A3 stable) Vogtle new nuclear construction
project; or if there is rating pressure at one of its larger
subsidiaries, including Georgia Power, Alabama Power Company (A1
stable), Southern Power Company (Baa1 stable), Southern Company Gas
(unrated), or Southern Company Gas Capital (Baa1 stable).

Moody's continue to monitor developments with regard to the decline
in the credit quality of Toshiba Corporation (Caa1, ratings under
review), the parent company of the Vogtle project EPC contractor
Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC (unrated), and their commitment
to the nuclear power business. Westinghouse has provided Georgia
Power and the other Vogtle project owners with letters of credit
totaling $920 million, somewhat mitigating this risk. Moody's
believes, however, that Southern's updated annual system fuel
forecast has also negatively affected the competitiveness and
economic rationale of the Vogtle nuclear project.

Rating Outlook

Mississippi Power's ratings are on review for downgrade.

What Could Change the Rating - Down

Mississippi Power's ratings could be downgraded if the pending
project economic viability analysis indicates that there has been a
material decline in the cost competitiveness of the Kemper plant or
that it is no longer economically viable; if Moody's believes the
prospects for regulatory recovery of remaining recoverable project
costs or operating costs have declined; or if there are any
indications that the parent company will reduce or scale back its
thus far strong financial and liquidity support for Mississippi
Power. The utility could also be downgraded if Moody's expects
financial metrics to remain below investment grade parameters for
an extended period following commercial operation of the Kemper
plant, including cash flow from operations pre-WC to debt below
13%.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Regulated
Electric and Gas Utilities published in December 2013.

The Southern Company is a utility holding company headquartered in
Atlanta, Georgia and the parent company of utility subsidiaries
Alabama Power Company, Georgia Power Company, Gulf Power Company,
Mississippi Power Company, Southern Company Gas, Southern Electric
Generating Company, wholesale power company Southern Power Company,
financing subsidiaries Southern Company Gas Capital and Southern
Company Capital Funding, Inc., and commercial paper issuer Southern
Company Funding Corporation.



MONAKER GROUP: Appoints Simon Orange to Board of Directors
----------------------------------------------------------
Monaker Group, Inc., has appointed Simon Orange, the founding
partner and chairman of CorpAcq, to the company's board of
directors.  The appointment increases the board to five members,
with three serving independently.

"Simon brings to Monaker extensive knowledge and experience in the
investment industry, from corporate finance and M&As to building
global growth companies," said the company's chairman and CEO, Bill
Kerby.  "We expect Simon's contribution of capital market insights
and guidance to have an important and valuable impact on our
business as we expand our base of travel customers and partners
around the world."

In 2006, Orange co-founded CorpAcq, where he has been responsible
for identifying and negotiating acquisitions in conjunction with
its corporate finance partners, as well overseeing strategic
development, funding, and partnerships.  Following a "buy and
build" approach, CorpAcq maintains long-term investments in a
diverse portfolio of successful businesses.  Currently comprised of
19 portfolio companies, CorpAcq has been recognized as one of the
fastest growing enterprises in the UK.  Orange has been involved in
funding and managing the growth of numerous business ventures, some
which have been acquired by NASDAQ and London Stock Exchange listed
companies. He is also a founding member of Cicero Consulting Group,
based in New York City.

"I have long been passionate about travel, and intrigued with how
technology continues to transform the hospitality and travel
landscape," commented Orange.  "I'm honored and excited to join the
Monaker board and leadership teams, particularly at this pivotal
stage of the company's development, with the near-term launch of
its unique booking platform that for the first time will provide
'real-time' alternative lodging reservations along with mainstream
travel products and services all on a single site."

The appointment of Orange also advances the company's plans for a
NASDAQ Stock Market up-listing by addressing certain corporate
governance requirements.

"While Simon's appointment satisfies the listing requirements for
an independent majority, we are continuing our search and
evaluation process to bring on additional board members who will
strengthen our leadership and composition of our board committees,"
added Kerby.  "We expect to announce such additional appointments
in the near term."

As the Company currently has no committees of the Board of
Directors, Mr. Orange has not been appointed to any committees.

It is not currently contemplated that Mr. Orange will receive any
compensation for his services on the Board of Directors.

MSC SOFTWARE: S&P Puts 'B-' CCR on CreditWatch Positive
-------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings placed the ratings on California-based MSC
Software Corp., including the 'B-' corporate credit rating, on
CreditWatch with positive implications.

The CreditWatch placement follows Hexagon's announcement that it
has agreed to acquire MSC for $834 million in cash.

MSC and Hexagon announced that they expect the transaction to close
in April 2017.  S&P believes that Hexagon has a significantly
stronger financial risk position and lower leverage than MSC, as
well as a larger and more diversified business mix.

MSC provides computer-aided engineering solutions that enable
engineers to validate and optimize their designs using virtual
prototypes.

S&P plans to withdraw its corporate credit and issue-level ratings
on MSC if the company's outstanding debt is fully repaid when the
transaction is completed as expected in April 2017.

OLMOS EQUIPMENT: PPL, Ritchie Bros. and Davis to Auction Equipment
------------------------------------------------------------------
Olmos Equipment, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Texas to authorize the sale of various pieces
of equipment and machinery it used or uses in its business
operations ("Estate Assets") by auction to be conducted by PPL
Group, LLC and Myron Bowling Auctioneers, Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers
(America), Inc. and Mel Davis Auctions.

The Debtor has determined that based on the current economic
condition and the Debtor's business operations, it is in the best
interests of the Debtor, its bankruptcy estate, and its creditors
to liquidate certain assets to generate funds to make payments to
creditors.  The Debtor will take every action possible to realize
the greatest value from the sale of these Estate Assets.

To accomplish the liquidation of these assets, the Debtor has,
contemporaneously with the Sale Motion, filed motions seeking to
employ the PPL Group, Ritchie Bros. and Davis.  The Debtor owns the
Estate Assets.  The Debtor believes the value of the Estate Assets
will be maximized by auction through the services of the
Auctioneers.

A copy of the itemized listings of the equipment to be sold by PPL
Group, Ritchie Bros. and Davis attached to the Motion is available
for free at:

            http://bankrupt.com/misc/Olmos_Equipment_196_Sales.pdf

The Debtor proposes to sell the Estate Assets at auction to third
party purchasers whose identities are unknown at this point.  The
property that is the subject of the Sale Motion is currently in the
possession or control of the Debtor.  In connection with such sale,
the Debtor seeks the entry of an order following the conclusion of
the sale hearing authorizing it to, through the court approved
auctioneers, to sell the assets and to consummate such other
related and necessary transactions in connection therewith to the a
purchasers with such assets to be transferred and conveyed free and
clear of all liens, claims, interests and encumbrances.

The ad valorem tax lien for 2016 and prior years (if any)
pertaining to the Estate Assets will attach to the sales proceeds
and the title company shall pay all ad valorem tax debt owed
incident to the Estate Assets immediately upon closing and prior to
any disbursement of proceeds to any other person or entity.

The ad valorem taxes for year 2017 pertaining to the Estate Assets
will be prorated in accordance with the Agreement and will become
the responsibility of the Purchaser and the year 2017 ad valorem
tax lien will be retained against the subject property until said
taxes are paid in full.

The Estate Assets will be sold pursuant to auction on the terms set
forth in each respective auction agreement with PPL Group, Ritchie
Bros. and Davis.  All Estate Assets are to be sold "as is" and the
Debtor assumes no liability.

Approval of a sale transaction as contemplated will help facilitate
the Debtor's ability to seek approval of a plan of reorganization
or a structured dismissal and to distribute the sale proceeds in
accordance with the priorities delineated in the Bankruptcy Code.
Accordingly, the Debtor respectfully asks that the Court enter an
order approving the sales in accordance with the terms and
conditions set out in the Sale Motion and granting such other
relief as is just and proper.

Because of the need to begin the sale process as promptly as
possible, the Debtor asks that the Court Order and direct that the
Order approving the Motion will not be automatically stayed for 14
days as imposed by Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h).

OSHKOSH CORP: S&P Revises Outlook to Positive & Affirms 'BB+' CCR
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said that it has revised its outlook on Oshkosh
Corp. to positive from stable and affirmed all of its ratings,
including S&P's 'BB+' corporate credit rating, on the company.

"The outlook revision reflects the potential for an upgrade if the
company maintains its good credit measures and continues to pursue
a moderate financial policy, including an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA
ratio of below 2.5x and a FFO-to-total adjusted debt ratio of more
than 40%," said S&P Global credit analyst Steven Mcdonald.  "It
also includes our revised base-case expectations, which incorporate
our belief that Oshkosh has enhanced its ability to withstand
cyclical pressures and that improving trends in its Access
Equipment, Fire and Emergency, and Defense segments will provide it
with additional opportunities to improve its profitability and
credit measures."

The positive outlook on Oshkosh is based on S&P's expectation that
the company's operating performance will continue to be strong and
reflects the potential that S&P could upgrade the company if it
continues to pursue a moderate financial policy such that its
adjusted debt-to-EBITDA remains below 2.5x and its FFO-to-total
debt ratio remains above 40%.

S&P could raise its ratings on Oshkosh if the company can maintain
adjusted debt leverage of less than 2.5x with an FFO-to-total debt
ratio of more than 40%, even if some of its highly cyclical
nondefense businesses face challenging demand conditions.

S&P could revise its outlook on Oshkosh to stable if adverse
economic or competitive developments reduce the company's prospects
for profitability and positive free operating cash flow, or if it
makes aggressive financial policy decisions regarding acquisitions
or shareholder returns that cause its leverage to remain above
2.5x.

PEABODY ENERGY: Moody's Retains (P)Ba3 Ratings on First Lien Debt
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said that all provisional ratings of
Peabody Energy Corporation remain unchanged, including a
provisional corporate family rating (CFR) of (P)B1, a (P)Ba3
provisional rating on the first lien secured term loan, and a
(P)Ba3 provisional rating on $1 billion first lien secured notes
issued by the Peabody Securities Finance Corporation. The outlook
remains stable.

On February 6, 2017 the company announced that it intends to upsize
its proposed first-lien term loan to $950 million from $500
million, in lieu of $450 million in second lien debt.

The proposed debt offering will be used to exit bankruptcy with the
proceeds used to repay existing debt and pay related fees and
expenses. The provisional ratings were assigned pending the
emergence from bankruptcy and the closing of the proposed exit
financing. The company is expected to emerge from bankruptcy in the
next few months.

Upon emergence, Peabody Securities Finance Corporation will be
merged into Peabody Energy Corporation which will assume the
obligations under the notes. To the extent that the proposed
transaction does not close, the notes will be repaid from the
escrow account.

On January 26, 2017 the company announced that the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of Missouri has approved the
company's disclosure statement, enabling the company to solicit its
creditors to vote on the proposed plan of reorganization.

The ratings continue to reflect the company's diverse platform of
cost-competitive assets, including seven mining complexes in the
Western United States, nine in Midwestern United States, and nine
in Australia. While the company's US operations produce
cost-competitive thermal coal sold predominantly to domestic
utilities, the company's mines in Australia produce thermal and
metallurgical coal predominantly sold into the seaborne market.

The (P)Ba3 rating on the first lien debt reflects its priority
position with respect to claim on collateral, relative to unsecured
claims. The company's proposed capital structure consists of $950
million in first lien term loan and $1 billion of first lien
secured notes.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations of positive free
cash flows and solid contracted position.

The ratings could be upgraded if the rate of secular decline in the
US thermal coal industry were to slow or reverse, and if
metallurgical coal markets were to show more stability and
predictability. The ratings could also be upgraded in the event of
material growth in scale and diversity.

The ratings could be downgraded if Debt/ EBITDA, as adjusted, were
to increase above 5x, if free cash flows were to turn negative, or
if liquidity were to deteriorate.

Peabody Energy Corporation is the world's largest private sector
coal company with coal mining operations in the US and Australia
and close to 6 billion tons of proven and probable reserves. As of
September 30, 2016, the company owned interests in 26 active coal
mining operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 the
company generated $3.3 billion in revenues.


PEABODY ENERGY: Taps High-Yield Debt Markets
--------------------------------------------
Soma Biswas, writing for The Wall Street Journal Pro Bankruptcy,
reported that Peabody Energy Corp., which is making its way through
Chapter 11, and another coal miner, Blackhawk Mining, LLC, tapped
the high-yield loan and bond markets aiming to raise more than $2
billion in total debt.

According to the Journal, encouraging the companies' hopes of fresh
financing is improved pricing for coal after several years of
falling demand, as well as President Donald Trump's campaign
pledges to stand behind coal miners and roll back environmental
regulations.

The U.S.-based coal companies' ability to tap the debt markets is a
major turnaround from last year, when investors shunned coal
issuers, the Journal noted.

"It's a coal renaissance.  All these guys were dying on the vine,"
Neil Weiner, founder of Foxhill Capital Partners, a hedge fund that
focuses on distressed-debt investments, told the Journal.

The dramatic rally in coal prices, particularly metallurgical coal
used for steel making, has fueled demand for coal companies' debt,
the Journal related.  Prices for export-oriented coal used in
smelting tripled in the second half of 2016 to $300 a metric ton,
the Journal further related.  Although prices have since fallen to
$200 a ton, they remain double what they were a year ago, the
Journal said.

Companies hoping to capitalize on the improved climate include
Peabody, which launched an offering of $1.5 billion in high-yield
bonds and loans that it plans to use to pay off its senior bank
loans before it exits bankruptcy, the report noted.  The company's
ability to raise debt in the capital markets to pay off its most
senior lenders will enable junior creditors, including Elliott
Management Corp. and Aurelius Capital Management, to walk away with
full ownership of the company under a plan that remains subject to
court approval, the report said.

PEABODY ENERGY: To Auction DTA Ownership Interest on March 6
------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri
approved bidding procedures in connection with the sale by James
River Coal Terminal, LLC and Peabody Terminal, LLC, of their 37.5%
ownership interest in Dominion Terminal Associates ("DTA") to
Newport News Terminal Associates, LLC, for $10,000,000, subject to
overbid.  The key dates for the sale process are:

   Bid Deadline                   March 2, 2017
   Deadline to File Sale          March 2, 2017  
    and Cure Objections
   Deadline to File Adequate      March 2, 2017  
    Assurance Objections
   Auction Date                   March 6, 2017
   Deadline to Publish Results    March 7, 2017
    of Auction
   Sale Hearing                   March 9, 2017
   Closing                        Prior to April 15, 2017

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Jan. 16, 2017,
Peabody Energy, Corp., and affiliates own an aggregate 37.5% share
in DTA.  DTA is a Virginia general partnership.  DTA operates a
coal export and ground storage facility at the Port of Hampton
Roads on the East Bank of the James River in Newport News,
Virginia.  DTA exports coal primarily to Asian, European and South
American markets.

Prior to the filing of the Motion, and beginning approximately in
September 2016, the Debtors' investment banker, Lazard Freres &
Co., LLC, marketed the Asset with the goal of obtaining a Stalking
Horse Bid ("Initial Marketing Process").  The Initial Marketing
Process included: (a) reaching out to 32 potential bidders, (b) the
execution of 10 confidentiality agreements that allowed the Debtors
and Lazard to share pertinent information regarding the asset to
potential bidders and (c) the receipt of four initial offers.

As part of the Initial Marketing Process, Lazard contacted each
other entity ("DTA Partners") that also owns an interest in DTA.
One of DTA Partners executed a confidentiality agreement and
received the bidding information.  The other DTA Partner chose not
to participate in the sale process.  Neither DTA Partner submitted
any offer for the Asset.  At the conclusion of the Initial
Marketing Process, the Debtors determined the Stalking Horse Bidder
had submitted the highest and best bid for the Asset to date.

The Debtors propose to conduct the sale of the Asset through the
Bidding Procedures to ensure that their estates realize the maximum
value for the Asset.  To optimally and expeditiously solicit,
receive and evaluate bids in a fair and accessible manner, the
Debtors have developed the Bidding Procedures to govern the Sale
Process.  The Debtors request that the Court approve the proposed
Sale Process and the Bidding Procedures.

According to TCR, the material terms of the Bidding Procedures
are:

   a. The Stalking Horse Bidder has placed a "Stalking Horse Bid"to
acquire the Asset pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement
dated Jan. 12, 2017.  The Stalking Horse Bid will be subject to
higher and better offers to acquire the Asset.  To facilitate a
competitive, value-maximizing Sale, the Debtor Sellers are
requesting authority, in the exercise of their business judgment
and in accordance with the Bidding Procedures, to offer the
Stalking Horse Bidder a Break-Up Fee of $200,000 or 2% of the
Stalking Horse Bid and reimbursement of the Stalking Horse Bidder's
reasonable fees and expenses in an amount no greater than $150,000
("Expense Reimbursement") ("Bid Protections").

   b. Bid Deadline:  March 2, 2017 at 4:00 p.m. (CT)

   c. Good Faith Deposit: At least 10% of the purchase price
proposed in the Qualified APA.

   d. Contain a written statement that the Bidder agrees to be
bound by the terms of the Bidding Procedures and the Bidding
Procedures Order and include a commitment that the Bidder will (a)
commence and complete all filings with respect to necessary
government and other approvals within 3 days following the entry of
the Sale Order and (b) consummate the purchase of the Asset by
April 15, 2017.

   e. The Debtors may extend the Bid Deadline until the start of
any Auction for one or more bidders without further notice.

   f. Notice of Qualified Bidders: A Bid that satisfies each of the
Bid Requirements, as determined in the Debtors' reasonable business
judgment, will constitute a "Qualified Bid" by a "Qualified
Bidder."  The Debtors will notify each Qualified Bidder that such
party is a Qualified Bidder within 2 days after the Bid Deadline.

   g. Auction: In the event the Debtors receive more than one
Qualified Bid, there will be an Auction on March 6, 2017 at 10:00
a.m. (E) at Jones Day, 901 Lakeside Avenue, Cleveland.  The
Stalking Horse APA will serve as the "Baseline Bid" at the
commencement of the Auction.

   h. Minimum Overbid: An amount no less than $450,000 greater than
the total consideration contained in the Stalking Horse Bid.

   i. Incremental Bid Amount: Subject to the Minimum Overbid,
Qualified Bidders will submit successive bids in increments to be
determined by the Debtors at the Auction.

   j. Proceeds: All valid and properly perfected liens against the
Asset will attach to the net proceeds of the Sale.

   k. No Qualified Bids: If the Debtors do not receive any
Qualified Bids with respect to the Asset, other than the Stalking
Horse Bid, the Debtors will report the same to the Court and
promptly proceed to seek the entry of the appropriate orders
approving the sale to the Stalking Horse Bidder.

To incentivize the Stalking Horse Bidder to complete the Stalking
Horse APA and to serve as Stalking Horse Bidder, the Debtors have
determined, in an exercise of their sound business judgment, to
provide the Stalking Horse Bidder with the Bid Protections in the
event that the Stalking Horse Bidder is not the Successful Bidder
at the auction.  Accordingly, the Debtors ask the Court to
authorize them to pay the Stalking Horse Bidder the Break-Up Fee
and the Expense Reimbursement in accordance with the terms of the
Stalking Horse APA.

To facilitate the Sale and the assumption and assignment of the
executory contracts and unexpired leases to be assumed and assigned
to the Successful Bidder(s) ("Assumed and Assigned Contracts"), the
Debtors propose to serve the Assumption and Assignment Notice as
soon as practicable after the entry of the Bidding Procedures
Order.  The Debtors request that the Court approve the procedures
for fixing any cure amounts owed in connection with the Assumed and
Assigned Contracts.

The Debtors submit that it is an exercise of their sound business
judgment to assume and assign the Assumed and Assigned Contracts to
the purchaser in connection with the Sale, and the assumption,
assignment and sale of Assumed and Assigned Contracts is in the
best interests of the Debtors, their estates and their creditors.
Accordingly, the Court should authorize the Debtor Sellers to
assume and assign the Assumed and Assigned Contracts as set forth.

The Debtors believe that the Bidding Procedures provide a framework
for the sale of the Asset that will enable the Debtors to review,
analyze and compare, in a relatively uniform fashion, all offers
received to determine which offer is the highest or otherwise best
and in the best interests of the Debtors' estates and creditors.
Accordingly, the Debtors ask that the Court approve the Bidding
Procedures.

A copy of the APA and the Bidding Procedures attached to the
Motion
is available for free at:

          http://bankrupt.com/misc/Peabody_Energy_1964_Sales.pdf

As soon as is practicable following the conclusion of the Auction,
the Debtors will file the definitive purchase and sale agreement
for the Successful Bid.  The Debtors intend to present the
Successful Bid(s) to the Court at the Sale Hearing.  The Debtors
will be deemed to have accepted a Bid only when the Bid has been
approved by the Court at the Sale Hearing.  Upon the failure to
consummate the Sale after the Sale Hearing because of the
occurrence of a breach, default or termination by the proposed
purchaser under the terms of the Successful Bid, the Backup
Successful Bid will be deemed the Successful Bid without further
order of the Court, and the parties will be authorized to
consummate the transaction contemplated by the Backup Successful
Bid.

Following the approval of the Successful Bid(s) at the Sale
Hearing, the Debtor Sellers will be authorized to take any and all
actions necessary and appropriate to facilitate the Closing of the
Sale and implement the transactions contemplated by the Successful
Bid(s).

All objections to the relief requested in the proposed Bidding
Procedures Order (including any objection that the Assigned
Contracts may not be assumed and assigned by the Debtor Sellers to
the Successful Bidder due to any right of first refusal, consent
right or other similar restriction) must be submitted on Jan. 19,
2017 at  4:00 p.m. (CT).

All objections to the Sale, the assumption and assignment of the
Assumed and Assigned Contracts (other than any objection that the
Assigned Contracts may not be assumed and assigned by the Debtor
Sellers to the Successful Bidder due to any right of first refusal,
consent right or other similar restriction) and any other relief
requested in the Motion other than the relief granted by the Court
in the Bidding Procedures Order, must be submitted on March 2, 2017
at 4:00 p.m.

Because of the potentially diminishing value of the Asset, the
Debtor Sellers must close the sale free and clear of all liens,
claims, interests and encumbrances promptly after all closing
conditions have been met or waived.  Accordingly, the Debtors ask
the Court that the 14-day stay period be eliminated to allow a sale
or other transaction to close immediately where there has been no
objection to the procedure.

PIKE COUNTY: S&P Affirms 'BB+' Underlying Rating on Bonds
---------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook to positive from negative
and affirmed its 'BB+' underlying rating on bonds issued for and by
Pike County School Corp., Ind.  At the same time, S&P affirmed its
'AA+' long-term rating and underlying rating (SPUR) on the
district's previously issued bonds that qualify for Indiana's State
Aid Intercept program.  The strength and availability of state aid
to intercept program participants supports the program's credit
characteristics.  The outlook on these ratings is stable.

"The outlook revision reflects the significant progress made by
management in reducing the budget deficit since our last review,
which took into account management's forecast two years ago that it
expected the general fund cash balance to remain negative in the
foreseeable future and that it would take five years to cure the
budget imbalance," said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Anna
Uboytseva.

S&P believes that the rating is still constrained by vulnerable
financial management practices and the district's reliance on
nonsustainable transfers into the rainy-day to provide general fund
relief.  S&P also thinks that the road to a full recovery remains a
long one.  However, recognizing the change in the financial
direction since S&P's last review, it revised the outlook to
positive to reflect management's focus on maintaining balanced
operations and keeping reserves at a positive level.  S&P believes
that there is a one-in-three chance the rating could be raised over
the next two years if the positive trend continues.

30, 2014.

As of March 31, 2016, Plandai had $6.62 million in total assets,
$17.1 million in total liabilities, and a stockholders' deficit of
$10.4 million.

Pritchett, Siler & Hardy P.C., in Farmington, Utah, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements for
the year ended June 30, 2015, citing that the Company Company
suffered a loss from operations during the years ended June 30,
2015 and 2014, has yet to establish a reliable, consistent and
proven source of revenue to meet its operating costs on an ongoing
basis and currently does not have sufficient available funding to
fully implement its business plan.  These factors raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.


POSITIVEID CORP: Closes $412,500 SPA with GHS Investments
---------------------------------------------------------
PositiveID Corporation closed a securities purchase agreement with
GHS Investments, LLC, dated Jan. 30, 2017, providing for the
purchase of a secured convertible promissory note in the aggregate
principal amount of up to $412,500, with the first tranche funded
being in the amount of $125,000.  

Subsequent tranches will be delivered to the Company approximately
bi-weekly and at the sole discretion of GHS.  The Note has a 10%
original issuance discount to offset transaction, diligence and
legal costs.  The Note bears an interest rate of 10%, which is
payable in the Company's common stock based on the conversion
formula, and the maturity date for each funded tranche will be 12
months from the date on which the funds are received by the
Company.  The Note may be converted by GHS at any time into shares
of Company's common stock at a 37.5% discount off the lowest
closing bid price for the Company's common stock during the 20
trading days immediately preceding a conversion date.  The Note is
secured by all property of the Company.  As set forth in the SPA,
however, the Note ranks junior to the security interests of three
other creditors of the Company.

The Note is a long-term debt obligation that is material to the
Company.  The Note may be prepaid in accordance with the terms set
forth in the Note.  The Note also contains certain representations,
warranties, covenants and events of default including if the
Company is delinquent in its periodic report filings with the SEC,
and increases in the amount of the principal and interest rates
under the Note in the event of such defaults. In the event of
default, at the option of GHS and in GHS's sole discretion, GHS may
consider the Note immediately due and payable.

POST HOLDINGS: Moody's Assigns B3 Rating to $1.5BB Unsec. Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned B3 ratings to Post Holdings,
Inc.'s proposed $1.5 billion of senior unsecured notes being
offered. The proceeds will be used primarily to fund the redemption
of $1.08 billion of existing senior unsecured notes. Any remaining
proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including to
supplement cash balances and to fund future acquisitions. Moody's
also affirmed all of Post's existing ratings, including: the B2
Corporate Family Rating, B2-PD Probability of Default, SGL-2
Speculative Grand Liquidity, Ba2 senior secured debt and B3 senior
unsecured debt. The rating outlook is stable.

The proposed notes will be issued in two tranches consisting of
8-year notes and 10-year notes. The notes that Post intends to
redeem are $875 million of 6.75% senior unsecured notes due 2021
and $133 million of 7.375% senior unsecured notes due 2022. The
ratings on these notes will be withdrawn upon repayment. At
closing, Post's cash balances will approximate $1.3 billion.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Post's B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects its investment holding
company profile, characterized by a serial pace of acquisitions
that results in periods of high financial leverage. It also
reflects a portfolio that includes businesses that are exposed to
earnings volatility, including MOM Brands and Michael Foods.
Moody's expects that Post's future financial strategy will be
driven substantially by its access to acquisition financing, which
the rating agency expects will continue to include a combination of
debt and equity issuances. In its ratings, Moody's has taken into
consideration the company's good sales diversification, its
relatively strong operating profit margins, and high profitability
and cash flow generated by its RTE cereal businesses, and its
strong North American market position in commercial egg products.

The following actions have been taken on Post Holdings, Inc.

Rating assigned:

Proposed guaranteed senior unsecured notes due March 2025 at B3
(LGD 4);

Proposed guaranteed senior unsecured notes due March 2027 at B3
(LGD 4).

Ratings affirmed:

Corporate family rating at B2;

Probability of default rating at B2-PD;

Speculative grade liquidity rating at SGL-2;

Senior secured bank credit facilities at Ba2 (LGD 1);

Gtd. senior unsecured global notes at B3 (LGD 4).

The rating outlook is stable.

After giving effect to the proposed transaction, the amount of
senior unsecured debt in Post's capital structure will total $5.1
billion, compared to zero secured debt outstanding under its $400
million revolving credit facility. This preponderance of unsecured
debt in Post's capital structure would typically warrant an upgrade
of these instrument ratings to the company's B2 Corporate Family
Rating based on Moody's Loss Given Default ("LGD") Methodology (the
Ba2 secured debt ratings are unaffected). However, because Moody's
believes that it is likely that over the next year Post will fund
future acquisitions with additional secured debt, Moody's has
overridden the LGD Methodology outcome and maintained B3 ratings on
the secured debt instruments.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Post
will continue to pursue growth primarily through debt-financed
acquisitions, and maintain relatively high financial leverage.

The ratings could be downgraded if operating performance
deteriorates, if debt to EBITDA is sustained above 7.0 times, or if
free cash flow turns negative.

The ratings could be upgraded if the pace of Post's acquisition
slows, operating profit margins stabilize in the RTE cereal and egg
businesses, and debt to EBITDA is sustained below 5.75 times.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global Packaged
Goods published in January 2017.

CORPORATE PROFILE

Post Holdings, based in St. Louis Missouri, is a manufacturer of
shelf-stable cereal, value-added egg products, branded potatoes and
cheese, active nutrition products and private label peanut butter
and granola. Annual sales approximate $5 billion.


POST HOLDINGS: S&P Assigns 'B' Rating on New $1.5BB Unsec. Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said that it assigned its 'B' issue-level
ratings to Post Holdings Inc.'s proposed $1.5 billion senior
unsecured notes, to be issued in two tranches due 2025 and 2027.
The recovery rating is '3', indicating S&P's expectations for
meaningful (50% to 70%, at the lower half of the range) recovery in
the event of a payment default.  The company intends to use net
proceeds from the offering to refinance its existing $875 million
6.75% senior unsecured notes due 2021, and to cover breakage fees
and expenses.  Remaining proceeds will be used for general
corporate purposes, which S&P expects would include acquisitions.
S&P will withdraw the ratings on the refinanced facilities upon the
close of this transaction.  The unsolicited rating on the company's
$400 million revolver due 2019 remains 'BB-' with a '1' recovery
rating, indicating S&P's expectations for very high (90% to 100%)
recovery in the event of a payment default.  The ratings are based
on preliminary terms and are subject to review upon receipt of
final documentation.

As of Dec. 31, 2016, S&P estimates the company had roughly
$4.6 billion in reported debt outstanding.  Following this
transaction, the company will have about $5.1 billion debt
outstanding.  Pro forma for this transaction, S&P estimates debt
leverage for the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2016, of about 4.5x.  S&P
estimates that Post will maintain debt leverage of at least 4x
because it anticipates that the company will continue to make
acquisitions.

Post is a holding company with operating companies that
manufacture, market, and distribute branded and private-label
ready-to-eat (RTE) cereals, protein products, value-added egg
products, branded potatoes and cheese, and private label peanut
butter and granola.  Post has shifted its strategy from being a
pure-play cereal manufacturer to a holding company that has
diversified its business mix with several acquisitions.  S&P
expects the company will continue to diversify as it makes
additional acquisitions.  Geographic diversification is limited,
with more than 90% of sales generated in the U.S. and most of the
remainder in Canada.  Since 2012, Post has paid over $5 billion for
acquisitions, and S&P expects the company to continue to
aggressively pursue targets to improve the scale of its existing
segments.  S&P believes that the company has meaningful scale in
the consumer brands segment following the MOM Brands acquisition in
May 2015, which strengthened its No. 3 position in the U.S. RTE
cereal market.  S&P believes that additional acquisition
opportunities will likely be in the foodservice, protein-related,
active nutrition, and private label categories, because of the
fragmented nature of those categories, which would provide
opportunities for greater synergies and bolster those segments'
margins.

                         RECOVERY ANALYSIS

Key analytical factors

Capital Structure:
The issuer of all of the company's debt is Post Holdings Inc.
Following this transaction, the company's debt structure will
consist of:

   -- $400 million revolving credit facility due 2019
   -- $630 million 6% senior unsecured notes due 2022
   -- $800 million 7.75% senior unsecured notes due 2024
   -- $400 million 8% senior unsecured notes due 2025
   -- $1.75 billion 5% senior unsecured notes due 2026
   -- New $1.5 billion senior unsecured notes due 2025 and 2027

Security and guarantee package:
The issuer of the notes is Post Holdings Inc.  The notes will be
fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis of
the company's existing and future domestic subsidiaries.  The
company's foreign subsidiaries will not guarantee the notes and
account for less than 9% of the company's sales.

Covenants:

Under the company's revolver, Post is subject to a maximum secured
leverage ratio of 3x and a minimum consolidated interest coverage
ratio of 1.75x.  S&P expects the company will continue to maintain
ample cushion on these covenants.

Insolvency regimes:

Post Holdings Inc. is incorporated and headquartered in the U.S. In
the event of an insolvency proceeding, S&P anticipates that the
company would file for bankruptcy protection under the auspices of
the U.S. federal bankruptcy court system and would be unlikely to
involve other foreign jurisdictions.

Simulated default assumptions:

S&P Global Ratings' simulated default scenario is driven by
strained liquidity from weak sales and profitability.  This could
occur as a result of heightened competitive pressures, combined
with higher commodity costs and consumer preference for other
products, or a major product recall.  These factors hamper margins
and cash flow, resulting in an inability to meet fixed charges.

   -- Year of default: 2019
   -- EBITDA at emergence: $538 million
   -- Implied enterprise value multiple: 7x

S&P's emergence level EBITDA of $538 million takes into
consideration a 25% operational adjustment (to reflect some
recoupment of sales volume and cost-cutting efforts that improve
margins) on top of the default level EBITDA.  The default EBITDA
roughly reflects fixed-charge requirements of about $328.0 million
in interest costs (assumes higher rate because of default and
includes prepetition interest) and $102 million in minimal capital
expenditure (capex) assumed at default.  S&P estimates a gross
valuation of $3.8 billion, assuming a 7x EBITDA multiple.  This is
within the range S&P used for some of the company's peers.

Calculation of EBITDA at emergence:

   -- Debt service assumption: $328 million (assumed default year
      interest)
   -- Minimum capex assumption: $102 million
   -- Preliminary emergence EBITDA: $431 million
   -- Operational adjustment: 25%
   -- Emergence EBITDA: $538 million

Simplified waterfall
   -- Emergence EBITDA: $538 million
   -- Multiple: 7x
   -- Gross recovery value: $3.8 billion
   -- Net recovery value for waterfall after administrative
      expenses (5%): $3.6 billion
   -- Obligor/nonobligor valuation split: 90%/10%
   -- Collateral value available to secured debt: $3.5 billion
   -- Estimated senior secured claims: $353 million
   -- Recovery range for senior secured debt: 90%-100%
   -- Remaining value to unsecured claims: $3.2 billion
   -- Estimated unsecured debt claims: $5.3 billion
   -- Recovery range for unsecured debt: 50%-70%, lower half of
      the range

profitability include developing new products such as hybrid motor
starters and single-phase to three-phase converters, developing
business in the Asian market, obtaining new customers and
increasing sales to existing customers.  Management is seeking to

POWER EFFICIENCY: Reverse Split Took Effect Jan. 17
---------------------------------------------------
On Jan. 11, 2017, Power Efficiency Corporation filed an amendment
to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to
effectuate a reverse stock split on a basis of each 15 shares of
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock into 1 share.

The Reverse Split became effective on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2017, at
5:00 p.m. (eastern time).  The Company's stock symbol was
temporarily modified from PEFF to PEFF D on Wednesday, Jan. 18,
2017, and will continue for 20 twenty trading days.  Trading of
PEC's Common Stock will remain on the OTC Pink Sheets and trading
has reflected the Reverse Split since Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2017.
PEC's stock transfer agent is Continental Stock Transfer and
Registrar.

The immediate effect of the Reverse Split will be to reduce the
number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock from
189,052,666 outstanding as of Jan. 17, 2017, to approximately
12,603,511 shares (subject to rounding fractional shares down to
the next whole share).  The conversion ratios of each class of
Preferred Stock will be adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split.  The
Company's classes of Preferred Stock would be convertible into an
aggregate of approximately 23,480,013 shares of Common Stock after
the Reverse Split, as follows:

      Class of                   Pre Split     Post Split   
  Preferred Stock               Conversion     Conversion
  ---------------               ----------     ----------
     Series B                   13,300,000        866,667
     Series C-1                 3,462,500         230,833

     Series E                   305,000,000    20,333,333

The Company's Class E Preferred Stock has been deemed automatically
converted into Common Stock following the Reverse Split; the other
classes will remain outstanding.  Giving effect solely to the
conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock and no other classes or
shares of Preferred Stock, PEC will have approximately 32,936,844
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.  The par value of
the Common Stock (and all Preferred Stock) will remain $0.001 per
share and the number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be
issued will remain at the number authorized at the time the Reverse
Split is effected, currently 350,000,000 shares.

PRIME GLOBAL: Needs More Time to File Fiscal 2016 Form 10-K
-----------------------------------------------------------
Prime Global Capital Group Incorporated filed a Form 12b-25 with
the Securities and Exchange Commission notifying the delay in the
filing of its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended Oct.
31, 2016.  The  Company was unable to file the subject report in a
timely manner because it was not able to timely complete its
financial statements without unreasonable effort or expense.

The Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations are expected to
reflect net revenues of approximately $1,646,727 for the fiscal
year ended Oct. 31, 2016, compared with net revenues of $1,919,743
for the same period ended Oct. 31, 2015.  The decrease in net
revenues is expected to be primarily attributable to the decrease
in real estate revenues and a decrease in oilseeds revenues
generated by the registrant.  The Company expects to have a net
loss of approximately $911,522 for the twelve-month period ended
October 31, 2016, as compared to a loss of $1,593,434 for the same
period ended Oct. 31, 2015.

2014, the Company discontinued its castor seeds business in
China, and in December 2014 it discontinued the software business
(the provision of IT consulting, programming and website

for the year ended Oct. 31, 2014.

As of July 31, 2016, the Company had US$48.2 million in total
assets, U$18.3 million in total liabilities and US$29.8 million
in total equity.

Crowe Horwath (HK) CPA Limited, in Hong Kong, China, issued a
"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended Oct. 31, 2015, citing that the
Company has a working capital deficiency, accumulated deficit
from recurring net losses and significant short-term debt
obligations maturing in less than one year as of Oct. 31, 2015.
All these factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.


PRIME SECURITIES: Moody's Lowers First-Lien Debt Ratings to Ba3
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the first-lien debt of Prime
Securities Services Borrower, LLC to Ba3, from Ba2, and affirmed
the alarm monitoring company's B1 Corporate Family Rating ("CFR")
and its B3 second-lien debt rating. The ratings action results from
ADT's intention to raise $800 million of incremental first-lien
term loan debt and use the proceeds to make a $795 million dividend
distribution to its owners, primarily Apollo Global Management
("Apollo"). The outlook remains stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The one-notch downgrade, to Ba3, of ADT's first-lien debt stems
from the higher proportion of first-lien debt in the capital
structure, as a result of the $800 million incremental term loan
borrowings, relative to the (unchanged) $3,140 million of second
lien notes and $750 million of preferred securities (which have
been cash-paying their approximately 11% coupon).

The affirmation of ADT's B1 CFR reflects its standing as the clear
leader in the North American residential alarm-monitoring and
home-automation services market, as well as the high leverage and
integration challenges facing Protection 1's ("P1") management as
it incorporates a target several times P1's size. Moody's believes
that the P1 management team will continue to wrest meaningful
operating synergies and improve ADT's operating metrics by
employing best-practices used in achieving industry-leading
attrition and creation multiples at P1 itself. In turn, improved
operating profits should enable the company to maintain good
liquidity and to generate mid- to high-single-digit-percentage free
cash flow-to-debt measures.

The sizable equity distribution, made barely three quarters after
P1, with Apollo's backing, acquired The ADT Corporation (forming
Prime Security Services Borrower), signals that the company will
likely maintain aggressive shareholder policies, with periodic
re-levering events after periods of delevering. Any progress at
delevering that may have been made since the closing of the LBO --
the company has paid down some $170 million of debt, as of
September 30, 2016 -- will have been largely reversed by the
dividend transaction. Moody's-adjusted debt to recurring monthly
revenue ("RMR") stood at about 32 times at September 30th, but as a
result of the dividend recap will be back to 35 times, exactly
where it was at the close of the LBO.

Financial policies notwithstanding, the company does appear to have
made some progress in combining P1 and ADT, underpinning Moody's
stable ratings outlook. Revenue growth, below 2%, is obviously
modest, but that is as expected, since the impetus for P1's
acquisition of ADT has been to drive cost synergies by implementing
P1's best practices throughout the combined company. Creation
multiples and, especially, attrition have both improved and Moody's
expects them to continue to do so. The company indicates that call
waiting times, service call response times, advertising expenses,
branch consolidation, equipment purchasing costs, and the
integration of ADT and P1 computer platforms have all improved,
which in turn should help with improving attrition and other
operating metrics over the longer term. Nevertheless, it is still
too early to tell whether these metrics are sustainable and whether
targeted synergies will be fully realized.

Moody's views ADT's liquidity as good, with modest drawings under
its $350 million revolver, minimal debt amortization for the next
three years, and Moody's expectations of free cash flow ("FCF":
cash flow from operations less capital expenditures and subscriber
growth spending) of approximately $600 million over the next year.

The ratings could be upgraded if the company demonstrates improving
operating performance and a commitment to delevering, including
attaining debt-to-RMR leverage below 30 times. Attrition rates and
pricing would also need to improve to levels such that FCF-to-debt
in double-digit-percentages can be maintained. The ratings could
face downward pressure if additional dividend recapitalizations or
if debt-funded acquisitions are made, if debt-to-RMR is sustained
above 35 times, or if FCF-to-debt falls to the low-single-digit
percentages.

The product of a May 2016, Apollo-backed combination of alarm
monitors Protection One and The ADT Corporation, Prime Security
Services Borrower, LLC is the leading provider of security,
interactive automation, and monitoring services for residential
(primarily) and business customers, and for independent
security-alarm dealers on a wholesale basis. Moody's expects the
company's 2017 total monitoring and services revenues (which
excludes equipment installation revenue) to be approximately $4.0
billion.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Business and
Consumer Service Industry published in October 2016.

PUERTO RICO: Defaults on Multimillion-Dollar Debt Amid Crisis
-------------------------------------------------------------
The American Bankruptcy Institute, citing Danica Coto of Associated
Press, reported that Puerto Rico's government announced another
multi-million-dollar default as the crisis-wracked U.S. territory
seeks to restructure nearly $70 billion in public debt.

According to the report, the government said it missed $312 million
worth of bond payments including $279 million owed by Puerto Rico's
Government Development Bank, which oversaw debt transactions until
falling into a fiscal state of emergency itself.  Officials warned
the bank only has about $156 million in liquidity, the report
related.

The government said the remaining payments missed involve general
obligation bonds backed by the island's constitution and those
issued by Puerto Rico's public finance and infrastructure agencies,
the report further related.

However, the U.S. territory paid $295 million worth of interest due
on some debt, including a portion backed by a local sales tax and
on bonds issued by agencies including the Aqueduct and Sewer
Authority and the Highways and Transportation Authority, the report
cited spokesman Elliot Rivera.

Both Gov. Ricardo Rossello and his predecessor have favored
payments to those holding bonds backed by a local sales tax versus
general obligation bondholders, the report added.


QUATTRO EXPLORATION: Signs Binding Finance Term Sheet
-----------------------------------------------------
Quattro Exploration and Production Ltd. on Feb. 2, 2017, disclosed
that it has signed a binding term sheet with Advisco Capital Corp.,
a New York-based private finance company, for the provision by
Advisco of a secured revolving credit facility and secured term
loan in the aggregate amount of CDN$15,000,000 (the "Proposed
Loan").  The Proposed Loan has been negotiated with Advisco for the
purpose of satisfying all amounts outstanding to the Company's
senior secured lender, The Business Development Bank of Canada (the
"Lender" or "BDC").

The Loan consists of (a) Secured Revolving Credit Facility in an
amount not to exceed eighty percent (80%) of the Company's eligible
accounts receivable, and sixty percent (60%) of the orderly
liquidation value of eligible inventory on hand, and (b) a Secured
Equipment Term Loan in an amount not to exceed sixty-five percent
(65%) of the orderly liquidation value machinery, equipment, and
other tangible property.  The Proposed Loan bears interest at the
rate of 1% per month, plus a 2% fee on the aggregate amount of
Proposed Loan, payable at Closing.  The Proposed Loan is for a one
(1) year term, with an option to renew for an additional one (1)
year term, provided the Company is not in default, at a cost of one
percent (1.0%) of the gross amount of the Proposed Loan then
outstanding.

Management of Quattro believes that the Proposed Loan, along with
other negotiated non-core asset transactions will allow the Company
to submit an equitable plan to its creditors and exit from its
current Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") process.

The Company also provides the following report on its CCAA process,
the activities to date in regards to Quattro's Court of Queen's
Bench of Alberta approved proposed sale and investor solicitation
process ("SISP") that was initially launched on October 3rd 2016.

On Jan. 5, 2017, the stay of proceedings under the CCAA for Quattro
was extended to
Feb. 17, 2017.  In connection with the stay, Quattro entered into a
term sheet with its senior lender (the "Lender") whereby the Lender
agreed to provide an additional $650,000 of debtor-in-possession
financing to Quattro (the "Interim Financing"), bringing the total
amount of debtor-in-possession financing under the CCAA to an
aggregate $1,900,000 (the "Interim Financing Agreement").  The
additional debtor-in-possession financing was approved by the Court
pursuant to the CCAA process.  The term of the additional loan was
due to expire on March 20, 2017.  A total of $440,000 had been
advanced by the Lender under the Interim Financing Agreement to
date.

In the assessment of the Lender and the Monitor, the Proposed Loan
and the additional efforts of the Company to satisfy the BDC debt
did not meet the conditions of the Term Sheet and, in accordance
with the terms of the Term Sheet, BDC was entitled to (a) reject
the provision of the remaining Interim Financing and (b) make an
application to the Court upon 24 hours' notice to Quattro and the
Monitor, for the appointment of a Receiver.  On January 31, 2017,
Quattro was served such notice of an application by BDC to occur on
February 2, 2017 at 9:30 a.m.

Quattro Exploration and Production Ltd. is a Calgary based junior
oil and gas company focused on exploration and development of oil
and gas properties.


RENAISSANCE PUBLIC: S&P Lowers Rating on 2012A/B Bonds to 'BB+'
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its rating on Renaissance Public School
Academy (RPSA), Mich.'s tax-exempt series 2012A and taxable series
2012B public academy revenue bonds to 'BB+' from 'BBB-'.  The
outlook is stable.

"We lowered the rating based on our U.S. Not-for-Profit Charter
Schools methodology, published Jan. 3, 2017," said S&P Global
Ratings credit analyst Brian Marshall,

The stable outlook reflects two consecutive audited years of
improved financial operations resulting in materially improved
maximum annual debt service (MADS) coverage at fiscal year-end
2016, which is more in line with the 'BB+' rating due to
higher-than-budgeted revenues and tight expenditure controls.  S&P
believes coverage will remain in line with the rating category over
the outlook horizon since there are no identified one-time
expenditures or future debt plans that could potentially strain
operations.

"We assessed RSPA's enterprise profile as adequate based on the
academy's solid charter standing, as characterized by a long
operating history and solid academic quality, as well as a stable
management team.  We assessed RSPA's financial profile as
vulnerable, with a small operating base and elevated
debt-to-capitalization ratio.  We believe that, combined, these
credit factors lead to an indicative stand-alone credit profile of

'bbb-.'  As our criteria indicate, the final rating can be adjusted
(capped) above or below the indicative credit level due to a
variety of overriding factors.  In our opinion, the 'BB+' long-term
rating better reflects the heightened risks the academy faces
associated with its small enrollment," S&P said.

Offsetting the academy's strengths are what S&P considers RSPA's:

   -- Very small enrollment, albeit by design, coupled with the
      very modest waiting list which went in effect for fall
      2016,;

   -- Small operating base with less than $4 million in annual
      operating revenues;

   -- Moderate debt burden; and

   -- Vulnerability to risk, as with all charter schools, that the

      academy can be closed for nonperformance of its charter or
      for financial distress, before the final maturity of the
      bonds.

The bonds are a general obligation of the academy, payable from any
legally available funds generated or held by RPSA, and secured by a
first mortgage lien on the financed facilities and 20% of the
academy's state aid--the maximum spending allowance established
under Michigan statute for facilities-related debt.

RPSA is a pre-kindergarten-through-grade 8 public charter academy
in its 22nd year of operations.  Its mission is to provide local
students with an opportunity to learn in a familial setting with
lower class sizes in an environment in which every student is
engaged through interactive communal learning and is challenged.
The academy operates one facility in Mt. Pleasant, Mich., which
spans 42,000 square feet on 9.2 acres of land.  

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that, during the next
two years, RPSA will maintain steady financial and enterprise
profiles by continuing to generate positive revenue over expenses
despite lower-than-average enrollment for the rating level, keep
its MADS and debt service coverage at current rating category
medians, and maintain a stable cash position.  S&P anticipates the
academy's demand profile will continue to reflect solid academics
and enrollment will increase to approximately 400.  A positive
rating action is unlikely over the two-year outlook period given
our view of the heightened risks associated with the school's small
enrollment base as well as the moderately high MADS carrying charge
and lower-than-average days' cash on hand.  However, S&P could
consider an upgrade over time if the academy materially increases
its enrollment and operations, and consistently produces MADS
coverage, a debt burden, and days' cash levels more in line with a
higher rating.

While not expected during the outlook period, S&P could lower the
rating if the academy experiences variable-to-declining enrollment
and demand, operating  deficits, weakening or variable MADS
coverage, or if cash on hand decreases significantly to levels no
longer commensurate with the 'BB+' rating.


RENNOVA HEALTH: Agrees to Issue $1.59-Mil. Convertible Debentures
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rennova Health Inc. entered into a securities purchase agreement
with certain accredited investors on Jan. 29, 2017.  Pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue $1,590,000
aggregate principal amount of Original Issue Discount Convertible
Debentures due three months from the date of issuance and warrants
to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock, for a
purchase price of $1,500,000.  The closing of the offering is
anticipated to occur on or about Feb. 2, 2017, and is subject to,
among other things, customary closing conditions.

The Debentures will be convertible at a conversion price of $0.086
per share (subject to adjustment).  In the event the Debentures are
outstanding after the maturity date, the conversion price shall be
reduced to $0.0531 per share (subject to adjustment). Holders of
Debentures are prohibited from converting Debentures into shares of
the Company's common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the
holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 4.99% of
the total number of shares of the Company's common stock then
issued and outstanding.  However, any holder may increase or
decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of
9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be
effective until 61 days after such notice to the Company.

The Purchase Agreement provides that, for a one-year period after
the issuance of the Debentures, the purchasers will have the right
to participate in any issuance by the Company of common stock or
common stock equivalents for cash consideration, indebtedness or a
combination of units thereof, with certain exceptions.  Also, until
the date when the purchasers no longer hold any Debentures, in the
event the Company undertakes or enters into an agreement to
undertake a Subsequent Financing, a purchaser may elect to exchange
all or some of its Debentures (but not including any Warrants) for
any securities or units issued in such Subsequent Financing on a
$0.80 principal amount of Debenture for $1.00 new subscription
amount basis based on the outstanding principal amount of such
Debenture (along with any accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated
damages and other amounts owing thereon); provided, however, in the
event the purchasers purchase 100% of such Subsequent Financing,
then the exchange factor is $1.00 for $1.00.

The Warrants will be exercisable into shares of the Company's
common stock at any time after six months from the closing of the
Purchase Agreement at an exercise price of $0.086 per common share.
The Warrants will terminate five years after they become
exercisable.

The Debentures will be guaranteed by substantially all of the
subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to a Subsidiary Guarantee.

The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by any purchaser, as to
such purchaser's obligations only, if the closing of the Purchase
Agreement has not been consummated by Feb. 6, 2017; provided,
however, that such termination will not affect the right of any
party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).

The issuance of the Debentures and the Warrants will be exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, in accordance with Section 4(2) thereof, as a transaction
by an issuer not making a public offering.

                          About Rennova

Rennova Health, Inc., is a vertically integrated provider of a
suite of healthcare related products and services.  Its principal
lines of business are diagnostic laboratory services, and
supportive software solutions and decision support and informatics
operations services.

The Company reported a net loss attributable to the Company's
common shareholders of $36.4 million for the year ended Dec. 31,
2015, following net income attributable to the Company's common
shareholders of $2.81 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014.

As of Sept. 30, 2016, Rennova Health had $10.19 million in total
assets, $20.23 million in total liabilities and a total
stockholders' deficit of $10.03 million.

The Company said in its annual report for the year ended Dec. 31,
2015, that "Although our financial statements have been prepared on
a going concern basis, we have recently accumulated significant
losses and have negative cash flows from operations, which raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.

"If we are unable to improve our liquidity position we may not be
able to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result if we are unable to continue as a going concern and,
therefore, be required to realize our assets and discharge our
liabilities other than in the normal course of business which could
cause investors to suffer the loss of all or a substantial portion
of their investment."


RGIS HOLDINGS: S&P Lowers CCR to 'CCC+' on Refinancing Risk
-----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its corporate credit rating on Auburn
Hills, Mich.-based RGIS Holdings LLC to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.  The
outlook is developing.

RGIS Holdings' senior secured term loan C matures in October 2017,
leading to heightened near-term refinancing risk.  While S&P
believes the company could successfully refinance the debt over the
next several months based on a favorable capital market
environment, modestly improved operating performance, and
satisfactory cash flow, the company is pressed for time to complete
a refinancing well in advance of its large maturity.

At the same time, S&P lowered its issue-level rating on the
company's senior secured debt to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.  The '4'
recovery rating remains unchanged, indicating S&P's expectation for
average (30% to 50%, upper half of the range) recovery in the event
of a payment default.  

S&P estimates that RGIS had roughly $500 million in reported debt
outstanding as of Sept. 30, 2016.

"The downgrade reflects increased refinancing risk as RGIS
approaches its $500 million term loan maturity in October,
especially given that it provides services directly to brick and
mortar retailers, a sector that is generally out of favor with
investors given weak store traffic trends and share gains by
e-commerce based retailers." said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst
Brennan Clark.  S&P also notes that the company's $60 million
revolver matures in May of 2017, though S&P do not view a potential
lapse of this facility as a significant near-term negative since
RGIS holds meaningful cash balances, well above revolver drawings.
S&P believes the company may be able to complete its refinancing in
the next several months given its recent stabilized operating
performance, good cash balances, and still meaningfully positive
free cash flow.  Revenues and EBITDA have been modestly positive
over the last few quarters after a steady deterioration in
performance dating back to 2011, primarily due to market share wins
and improving productivity.  The company also had over $90 million
in cash as of Sept. 30, 2016, and has continued to generate free
cash flow in excess of $25 million annually.

The developing outlook reflects the possibility for an upgrade or a
downgrade in 2017, depending on whether or not RGIS can
successfully refinance its October 2017 debt maturity over the next
several months at terms that enable it to comfortably generate
positive free cash flow.

S&P could lower the rating if it believes RGIS will encounter
difficulty refinancing its upcoming debt maturities because credit
market conditions have tightened, credit metrics are projected to
weaken considerably, or free cash flow turns negative.  This could
occur if competition for market share in the outsourced inventory
verification services market intensifies, resulting in a return to
price concessions to maintain business and/or due to customer
losses.

S&P could raise its rating on RGIS if it is successful in
refinancing its near term debt maturities, such that refinancing
risk is substantially removed for at least the next few years.  In
addition, S&P would expect operating performance to remain stable
or improve and free operating cash flow to remain comfortably
positive.

S&P believes that if RGIS were to default, a viable business model
would continue to exist given the company's significant domestic
market share and limited competition in the retail audit inventory
space, as well as its wide geographic footprint including
international operations.  S&P has therefore valued the company
using an enterprise value approach, using a 4.5x multiple of S&P's
projected emergence EBITDA.

RUBY TUESDAY: Amendment Waiver No Impact on Moody's B3 CFR
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Ruby Tuesday's Speculative Grade
Liquidity rating to SGL-3 from SGL-4. The company's other ratings
are unaffected, including its B3 Corporate Family Rating, B3-PD
Probability of Default Rating and its Caa1 senior unsecured notes
rating. The rating outlook remains negative.

The upgrade to Ruby Tuesday's liquidity rating reflects the
amendment and permanent waiver the company entered into with
lenders on January 31, 2017. "The amendment provides Ruby Tuesday
with additional covenant headroom under its senior secured revolver
and certain mortgage loans, without this amendment, Ruby Tuesday
would likely have violated its fixed charge covenant in the near
future," stated Peter Trombetta, an AVP-analyst at Moody's. In
addition to amended covenant levels under its fixed charge coverage
and leverage covenants, the amendment decreased the revolver
commitment to $30 million from its original $50 million commitment.
The revolver maturity was also pulled forward to June 2017 from
December 2017. The company stated that it was looking to refinance
the revolver with collateralized debt. However, all else being
equal, Moody's does not expect Ruby Tuesday's liquidity rating
would change if the revolver were to mature and not be replaced.
The revolver has not been used outside of letters of credit.

Ratings upgraded:

Speculative Grade Liquidity rating to SGL-3 from SGL-4

RATINGS RATIONALE

The B3 Corporate Family Rating reflects Ruby Tuesday's weak
operating performance driven by a highly promotional environment in
the casual dining sector that has resulted in negative same store
sales and traffic trends over the past year. The highly promotional
environment, coupled with increased labor and operating costs, has
resulted in interest coverage of less than 1.0x and leverage of
about 6.0x for the last 12 month period ended November 29, 2016
(all metrics include Moody's standard adjustments). The ratings are
supported by the company's high level of brand awareness, material
scale, and Moody's expectations that the company's strategic
initiative will benefit the company through improved same store
sales results.

The negative rating outlook reflects Moody's expectations that
store closures, a high level of promotional activity from its
competitors and higher labor costs will offset any benefits from
the company's Fresh Start initiative over the next two to three
quarters. Moody's expects the company will benefit from the planned
changes to its menu and Garden Bar, however the revamped menu did
not roll out until mid-November and the improvements to its Garden
Bar did not go into effect until mid-January, so it will take time
for these initiatives to show in the company's results.

The company's rating outlook could be revised back to stable if
same store sales and traffic trends improve, reflecting successful
implementation of its Fresh Start Initiative. A stable rating
outlook would also require adequate liquidity. An upgrade would
require a sustained improvement in earnings driven by positive
operating trends, particularly a stabilization of traffic, and
lower costs. Ratings could be downgraded if the company does not
see benefits from the strategic initiatives that are in the process
of being rolled out, including improved same store sales and
traffic trends, or if the company's cash flow was to weaken.

Ruby Tuesday, Inc. owns, operates and franchises restaurants under
the Ruby Tuesday brand name. Ruby Tuesday's system includes 613
restaurants, of which 546 were company operated (as of November 29,
2016). Annual revenues are approximately $1.0 billion.

The principal methodology used in this rating/analysis was
Restaurant Industry published in September 2015.



SCIENTIFIC GAMES: Expects to Report $748M to $755M Revenue in Q4
----------------------------------------------------------------
Scientific Games Corporation announced selected preliminary
expected financial results for the fourth quarter and full year
ended Dec. 31, 2016, in connection with a plan to refinance and
extend the maturity dates of its term loan debt and revolving
credit facility, and otherwise take advantage of favorable market
conditions to lower its cost of debt and extend maturities.

The Company currently expects consolidated revenue to be in a range
of $748 to $755 million for the three month period ended Dec. 31,
2016, and full year 2016 revenue to be in a range of $2,878 to
$2,885 million compared to $737 million and $2,759 million for the
fourth quarter and full year 2015, respectively. The Company
further expects that its net loss for the fourth quarter will be in
a range of $105 to $115 million, including a projected $69 million
goodwill impairment charge as described in the reconciliation
below, with Attributable EBITDA ("AEBITDA") of approximately $290
to $295 million.  The full year net loss including the goodwill
impairment charge is expected to be in a range of $348 to $358
million, with AEBITDA of approximately $1,100 to $1,105 million.
The Company currently anticipates releasing its fourth quarter 2016
results and full year 2016 audited results on March 2, 2017, after
market close.

"Our preliminary results for the fourth quarter 2016 reflect
ongoing improvements in our gaming, lottery and interactive
operations, as well as the initial benefits from our recently
implemented business improvement initiative that is expected to
reduce our annualized cost structure by $75 million," said Kevin
Sheehan, CEO and president of Scientific Games.  "With our customer
and player-focused strategies, we believe the Company is well
positioned to build on this success in 2017.  We plan to generate
improved results in 2017, while remaining focused on deleveraging.
I am grateful to our team members around the globe who continue to
empower our customers with the best gaming and lottery experiences
in the world, while remaining focused on our financial goals."

The preliminary unaudited results noted in this release are derived
from preliminary internal financial reports and are subject to
revision based on the Company's procedures and controls associated
with the completion of its year-end financial reporting, including
all the customary reviews, audit and approvals.  Accordingly,
actual results may differ from these preliminary results and such
differences may be material.

The Company has prepared these preliminary expected financial
results in connection with its proposed refinancing transaction and
is sharing the preliminary expected results disclosed with its
prospective lenders.

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.


SCIENTIFIC GAMES: Proposes $1 Billion Senior Notes Add-On Offering
------------------------------------------------------------------
Scientific Games Corporation announced that its wholly owned
subsidiary, Scientific Games International, Inc., intends, subject
to market and other conditions, to commence an add-on offering of
$1.0 billion of 7.000% senior secured notes due 2022 in a private
offering.  The New Notes will be issued under the same indenture
pursuant to which SGI previously issued $950 million of its 7.000%
senior secured notes due 2022.  The New Notes and the Existing
Notes will be treated as a single series of debt securities for all
purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation,
waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase, will have
terms identical to the Existing Notes, other than issue date and
offering price and will have the same CUSIP and ISIN numbers as,
and trade together with, the New Notes, except that the New Notes
issued in offshore transactions under Regulation S shall be issued
and maintained under a temporary CUSIP number during a 40-day
distribution compliance period commencing on the issue date.

Scientific Games intends to use the net proceeds of the New Notes
offering to prepay a portion of its term loans under its credit
agreement, redeem or repurchase all of its outstanding senior
subordinated notes due 2018 and pay accrued and unpaid interest
thereon plus any related premiums, fees and costs, repay a portion
of its revolving credit facility, pay related fees and expenses of
the New Notes offering and for general corporate purposes.  The New
Notes will be guaranteed on a senior basis by Scientific Games and
certain of its subsidiaries.  The New Notes will be secured by
liens on the same collateral that secures indebtedness under
Scientific Games' credit agreement.  At this time, Scientific Games
does not anticipate repurchasing or redeeming any 2018 Notes on or
prior to March 15, 2017.  As a result, the 2018 Notes are expected
to remain outstanding, and will continue to accrue interest, until
at least that date.  Furthermore, Scientific Games may elect not to
repurchase or redeem 2018 Notes until a later date.

The New Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of
1933 as amended or any state securities laws and, unless so
registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except
pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws.  The New Notes will be offered only to qualified
institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A and to non-U.S.
Persons under Regulation S under the Securities Act.

SCIENTIFIC GAMES: Recasts 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements
----------------------------------------------------------------
Scientific Games Corporation filed a current report on Form 8-K
with the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide recast
audited consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule as of Dec. 31, 2015, and 2014 and for each of the three
years in the period ended Dec. 31, 2015, originally included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the
SEC on Feb. 29, 2016.

The consolidated financial statements have been recast solely to
reflect a reclassification of the condensed consolidating financial

information presented in Note 24 of such consolidated financial
statements due to the designation by the Company, during the third

quarter of 2016, of certain of its wholly owned direct and indirect

subsidiaries that hold substantially all of the assets of, and
operate, its social gaming business, as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries"

under its credit agreement and each of the indentures governing its

outstanding secured notes, unsecured notes and senior subordinated

notes.  As a result of those designations, those Unrestricted
Subsidiaries are no longer guarantors under the Company's
respective
indentures.  The condensed consolidating financial information
presented in Note 24 has been reclassified to show the nature of
the assets held, results of operations and cash flows assuming the

"Unrestricted Subsidiary" designations were in effect at the
beginning
of all periods presented, consistent with their status as
non-guarantors.  The recast audited consolidated financial
statements
and financial statement schedule as of Dec. 31, 2015, and 2014 and

SCOUT MEDIA: CBS Sports Signs Deal to Buy Assets Out of Bankruptcy
------------------------------------------------------------------
The American Bankruptcy Institute, citing Keith J. Kelly of New
York Post, reported that CBS Sports Digital said it has signed a
definitive deal to acquire the assets of Scout Media, the bankrupt
sports-video site that runs team-specific sites for pro and college
teams in major sports.

According to the report, terms were not disclosed, but CBS
previously submitted a $9.5 million "stalking horse" bid for the
sports-video site.

Three creditors had filed suit in November, trying to force the
cash-strapped company into bankruptcy, the report related.

In July, it was hit by high-level turnover in the executive suite
and a defection of many of its senior producers, the report further
related.  That, in turn, appeared to hurt its traffic numbers for
the rest of 2016, the report said.

A team of Russian investors had appeared in 2015 when earlier
backers balked at putting in additional funds, the report added.
Co-founder James Heckman was forced out in July amid claims of
financial impropriety -- claims which Heckman denied, the report
related.

"We are very pleased to bring Scout Media into the CBS Sports
Digital family and add their portfolio of team coverage to our
premium, team-focused content offerings driven by 247Sports,"
Jeffrey Gerttula, senior vice president and general manager, CBS
Sports Digital, the report said.

                    About Scout Media, Inc.

Scout Media, Inc., is a privately held digital sports media
company
that publishes and distributes content related to the National
Football League, fantasy sports, college football and basketball,
high school recruiting, hunting, fishing, outdoors, military, and
history. Scout Media owns and operates a digital network of 150
team-specific, credentialed publishers, and their respective
social
communities. Scout Media is the only sports network with a
full-time video channel for every NFL and major college team.

North American Membership Group Holdings, Inc., bought Scout Media
from Scout Media in 2013.

An involuntary Chapter 11 petition was filed against Scout Media,
Inc. (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 16-13369) on Dec. 1, 2016, by LSC
Communications, Inc. f/d/b/a R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co., On Safari
Foods, and Imatch. The petitioners are represented by Joy R.
Grafton, Esq., at Popper & Grafton.

The Debtors hired Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, LLP as counsel,
Sherwood Partners, Inc. as financial advisor, and Epiq Bankruptcy
Solutions, LLC as administrative advisor and claims and noticing
agent.

On Dec. 8, 2016, affiliates of Scout Media filed a voluntary
Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition.  Scout Media Holdings listed under
$50 million in both assets and liabilities; Scout.com, LLC listed
under $50,000 in assets, and under $10 million in liabilities; and
FTFS Acquisition listed under $10 million in both assets and
liabilities.

William K. Harrington, U.S. Trustee for Region 2, on Dec. 15, 2016,
appointed three creditors of Scout Media, Inc., et al., to serve on
the official committee of unsecured creditors.  The Committee
retained Kelley Drye & Warren LLP as counsel and BDO Consulting LLC
as financial advisor for the Committee.

SILGAN HOLDINGS: S&P Assigns BB- Rating on New $300MM Unsec. Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB-' issue-level rating and '6'
recovery rating to Connecticut-based Silgan Holdings Inc.'s
proposed $300 million unsecured notes due in 2027 and EUR450
million unsecured notes due in 2025.  The '6' recovery ratings
indicate S&P's expectation for negligible (0%-10%) recovery in the
event of a default.

At the same time, S&P placed its issue-level ratings on both
unsecured note issuances on CreditWatch with negative
implications.

All of S&P's other ratings on Silgan are unchanged.

Silgan Holdings is issuing $300 million of unsecured notes and
EUR450 million of unsecured notes to refinance its existing debt
facilities.  After these notes are issued, S&P expects the company
to fully repay its outstanding revolver balance and repay
approximately $177 million and $197 million on its U.S.
dollar-denominated term loan and euro-denominated term loan,
respectively.

S&P placed the proposed unsecured notes on CreditWatch with
negative implications because all of S&P's other ratings on Silgan
are on CreditWatch negative to reflect S&P's expectation
that--based on the proposed structure of the previously announced
$1.02 billion acquisition of WestRock's Specialty Closures and
Dispensing Systems business--the company's already stretched credit
measures will deteriorate further.  S&P expects to resolve the
CreditWatch placement after evaluating Silgan's post-transaction
financial policies and capital allocation plans.  The proposed
transaction is still subject to regulatory approval.

                        RECOVERY ANALYSIS

Key analytical factors

   -- S&P's simulated default scenario assumes a payment default
      in 2020 stemming from deteriorating economic conditions and
      declining sales volumes on weak end-market demand.  At the
      same time, S&P assumes competition intensifies and rising
      raw material costs pressure the company's margins and cash
      flows.

   -- As a result, its cash flow would be insufficient to cover
      interest expense, required amortization on the term loan,
      working capital, and maintenance capital outlays.

   -- Eventually, the company's liquidity and capital resources
      would become strained to the point that it could not
      continue to operate without filing for bankruptcy.

   -- S&P believes that the company's underlying business would
      continue to have considerable value and expect that Silgan
      would emerge from bankruptcy, rather than pursue
      liquidation.

   -- S&P assumes that the company will seek covenant amendments
      on its path to default--resulting in higher interest
costs—
      and anticipate that it will have drawn approximately 85% on
      its revolving credit facility.

Simulated default assumptions
   -- Simulated default year: 2020
   -- EBITDA multiple: 6x
   -- EBITDA at emergence: $353 million

Simplified waterfall
   -- Net enterprise value (less 5% administrative costs):
      $2.01 billion
   -- Obligor/nonobligor valuation split: 83%/17%
   -- Value available to first-lien debt claims: $1.86 billion
   -- First-lien debt claims (revolving credit facilities and term

      loans, including anticipated bank debt issuance):
      $1.86 billion
      -- First-lien recovery expectations: 90%-100%
   -- Value available to unsecured debt claims: $96 million
   -- Unsecured debt claims: $1.60 billion
      -- Unsecured debt recovery expectations: 0%-10%
Note: All debt amounts include six months of prepetition interest.

SNUG HARBOR: Exclusivity Periods Extended Thru April 5
------------------------------------------------------
Judge Andrew B. Alternburg of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Jersey, extended Snug Harbor Marina, LLC's
exclusive periods for filing a plan of reorganization from February
5, 2017 to April 5, 2017.  

Judge Alternburg also extended the Debtor's exclusive period for
obtaining acceptances to the plan to June 4, 2017.

The Debtor sought extension of its exclusivity periods in order to
provide it with sufficient time to continue marketing and selling
its fishing marina located at 926 Ocean Drive, Cape May, NJ or
secure a refinancing agreement.   

The Debtor contended that once it enters into an Agreement of Sale
or Refinancing Agreement, there would be clarity in its financial
situation that would permit the Debtor to focus on formulating,
negotiating, preparing and proposing a Plan of Reorganization to
pay its largest secured creditor, Harvest Community Bank, and any
remaining creditors and parties in interest as allowable.

The Debtor further contended that although the General Bar Date for
Creditors and Governmental Bar Date for Governmental Creditors has
passed, it was still working with its counsel to prepare its asset
valuations and financial projections to formulate a feasible Plan
of Reorganization, and still needed to ascertain the final total
amount of filed proofs of claim from its creditors.

            About Snug Harbor Marina, LLC.

Snug Harbor Marina, LLC, owns and operates a fishing marina located
at 926 Ocean Drive, Cape May, New Jersey.  The marina has been
operating since 2002.  The fishing marina is open all year
providing boat slips, docks along with a store selling boating and
fishing gear, located on the site.  Snug Harbor Marina owns the
real estate on which the marina business operates.

The Debtor filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr.
D.N.J. Case No. 16-16895) on April 11, 2016, listing $6.46 million
in total assets and $3.78 million in total liabilities.  The
petition was signed by Ralph P. Farrell, member.  Judge Andrew B.
Altenburg Jr. presides over the case.   Scott M. Zauber, Esq., at
Subranni Zauber LLC, serves as the Debtor's bankruptcy counsel.
The Debtor employs Brian Groetsch of RE/MAX at the Shore as
realtor.

No trustee or examiner or official committee of unsecured creditors
has been appointed in the Debtor's Bankruptcy Case.



SPECTRUM HEALTHCARE: Seeks 90-Day Exclusivity Period Extension
--------------------------------------------------------------
Spectrum Healthcare, LLC and its affiliated Debtors ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut to extend their
exclusive periods for filing a chapter 11 plan and soliciting
acceptances to the plan, for a period of 90 days, or until May 4,
2017 and July 3, 2017, respectively.

Absent an extension, the Debtors' exclusive plan filing period
would have expired on February 3, 2017.  The Debtor's exclusive
solicitation period is currently set to expire on April 4, 2017.

The Debtors tell the Court that at the outset of their cases, the
Debtors agreed with their major creditor constituents to engage in
a sale process, so the operations for all four of their skilled
nursing facilities could be transitioned to new operators.  The
Debtors further tell the Court that at to facilitate the sale
process, they agreed to the appointment of a Chief Restructuring
Officer who is overseeing the sale process.  The Debtors add that
they have agreed to aggressive milestones to expedite the sale
process to enable a prompt and efficient sale.  

The Debtors say that it is not reasonable to expect the sale
process to be completed until after the deadline to file a plan.
The Debtors further say that they are seeking an extension of their
exclusive periods because the sale process needs to be completed
before the Debtors can determine the appropriate means of closing
out the case, whether through the filing of a plan of liquidation,
conversion to a chapter 7, or dismissal.

                About Spectrum Healthcare, LLC

SRS DISTRIBUTION: S&P Affirms 'B' CCR on Incremental Debt Add-On
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said it affirmed its 'B' corporate credit rating
on McKinney, Texas-based SRS Distribution Inc.  The rating outlook
is stable.

SRS Distribution plans to issue an incremental $140 million
first-lien term loan add-on and an incremental $40 million
second-lien term add-on to fund a $175 million dividend to its
owners.  The first-lien term loan add-on will increase the balance
of SRS's existing $572 million (original loan amount) first-lien
term loan due 2022 to approximately $708 million outstanding.  The
second-lien term loan add-on will increase SRS's existing $130
million first-lien term loan due 2023 to approximately $170
million.

At the same time, S&P affirmed the 'B' issue-level rating (the same
as the corporate credit rating) on SRS's existing
$572 million first-lien term loan due 2022 (approximately $708
million outstanding after the proposed $140 million add-on).  S&P
also revised the recovery rating on the debt to '3' from '4',
indicating S&P's expectation of meaningful (50% to 70%; lower end
of the range) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment
default.

S&P also affirmed the 'CCC+' issue-level rating (two notches lower
than the corporate credit rating) on SRS's existing $130 million
second-lien term loan due 2023 (approximately $170 million after
the proposed $40 million add-on).  The '6' recovery rating on the
debt indicates S&P's expectation of negligible (0% to 10%) recovery
for lenders in the event of a payment default.

"We expect SRS' credit measures will remain in line with a highly
leveraged financial risk profile due to its ownership by a
financial sponsor and the proposed debt-financed dividend, leading
us to believe leverage will rise above 5x in 2017, even if it
occasionally falls below that level," said S&P Global Ratings
credit analyst Pablo Garces.  "We expect liquidity will be
sufficient to meet the company's seasonal working capital needs and
other obligations as well."

S&P could lower the rating on SRS if margins were to decline and
leverage were to surpass 7x.  This could occur if a sudden drop in
demand caused severe price competition within the industry, sharply
reducing revenues and margins, or if it encountered setbacks
incorporating further acquisitions over the year that caused a
significant and unexpected use of capital.  S&P could also lower
its rating if liquidity were to become constrained, most notably if
availability under its $275 million ABL were to decrease
significantly so that the ratio of sources to uses of liquidity
fell below 1.2x.

S&P could raise its rating on SRS if debt leverage were to fall and
consistently remain below 5x debt to EBITDA and above 12% FFO to
debt on a sustained basis over the next 12 months.  In order for
S&P to reexamine SRS' financial risk profile, S&P would also have
to gain confidence that the company and its financial sponsor
owners were committed to maintaining leverage below 5x on an
ongoing and permanent basis.

TERRAFORM PRIVATE: S&P Puts 'B-' ICR on CreditWatch Positive
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said it placed its 'B-' issuer credit rating on
TerraForm Private LLC on CreditWatch with positive implications.
S&P also placed the 'B' issue-level rating on its term loan B on
CreditWatch with positive implications.  The recovery rating of '2'
on the term loan is unchanged.

The credit quality of TerraForm Private LLC had suffered because of
the ownership by bankrupt parent, SunEdison Inc.  The bankruptcy
court has approved SunEdison's sale of the warehouse facility to
DIF.

The CreditWatch placement stems from the recent announcement of
bankruptcy court approval for SunEdison Inc. to sell the warehouse
facility to DIF.  Presently, the very weak credit quality of
SunEdison weighs on the rating of TerraForm Private.  However, upon
close of the sale, this constraint could be lifted.

In addition, S&P notes that performance at the assets has been
stronger during recent months and that the change of control, which
S&P expects to occur in the coming month or thereabouts, likely
carries with it certain adjustments to the documents that provide
for debtholder protections.

"We believe that the proposed change of control could have positive
credit implications because it would effectively delink TerraForm
Private from SunEdison Inc., which is of weaker credit quality,"
said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Michael Ferguson. "We will
resolve the CreditWatch listing when the change of control has
occurred and we have had sufficient time to assess the effects."



THORNBURG MORTGAGE: SEC Ends Case Against Two Former Executives

TRINITY RIVER: Court Extends Exclusive Periods to February 23
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Tony M. Davis of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western
District of Texas extended Trinity River Resources, LP's exclusive
periods to February 23, 2017, or such other date when the Court
enters a final order ruling on the merits of the Debtor's Bridge
Motion.

The Debtor previously sought the extension of its exclusive periods
for filing a plan of reorganization and soliciting acceptances to
the plan through May 1, 2017 and July 3, 2017, respectively.

The Debtor's Exclusive Filing Period was set to expire on January
31, 2017.  The Debtor requested the Court, out of an abundance of
caution and to the extent the Court believes a hearing is required,
to schedule a hearing to consider the entry of a Bridge Order on or
before January 31.

The Debtor related that it continued to make progress on its road
to reorganization.  The Debtor further related that its independent
manager, John T. Young, Jr., at Conway MacKenzie, with the
assistance of Conway MacKenzie and T2 Land Resources, had spent
considerable time reviewing and evaluating the Debtor's affairs and
oil and gas interest, and preparing for a potential sale of those
assets.  The Debtor added that the Independent Manager had
reengaged Scotiabank to restart the sale process.

The Debtor contended that it was continuing to negotiate with
GeoSouthern Energy Corporation to resolve its objections to the use
of seismic data in the Debtor's sale process and post-sale
operations of the Debtor's oil and gas properties.  The Debtor
further contended that while the Debtor believed it had made
significant progress in its discussions with GeoSouthern Energy,
those negotiations were still ongoing and the Debtor's Independent
Manager would need additional time to resolve those issues on a
consensual basis.

The Debtor told the Court that Anadarko E&P Onshore LLC initiated
an adversary proceeding to determine the extent, validity and
priority of its disputed interests in Debtor's properties and its
disputed claims against the Debtor.  The Debtor also told the Court
that it had met in person with Anadarko (and/or their
professionals) on three separate occasions, and had exchanged
information informally. The Debtor added, however, that Anadarko
had recently served formal discovery requests on the Debtor.  The
Debtor asserted that it would need additional time to resolve its
dispute with Anadarko.

(Bankr. W.D. Tex. Case No. 16-10472) on April 21, 2016.  The

ULTRAPETROL (BAHAMAS): Expects Prepack Case to Conclude in 60 Days
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ultrapetrol (Bahamas) Limited (the "Company"), a Bahamas
corporation, on Feb. 7, 2017, disclosed that it and certain of its
subsidiaries have commenced voluntary cases under chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York on Feb. 6 (In re Ultrapetrol
(Bahamas) Limited, Chapter 11 Case No. 17-22168) in order to
implement the agreement reached with the Company's and
subsidiaries' lenders and bondholders on the terms of a
comprehensive debt restructuring.  To implement the restructuring,
the Company and its subsidiaries negotiated and received
affirmative votes from all voting lenders and from 99.9% of the
Company's bonds voting to accept a prepackaged chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization ("Plan") that was filed with the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.  With the
full support of their lenders and bondholders, the Company has
requested a prompt combined hearing to approve the disclosure
statement for the Plan and to confirm the Plan.  The proposed Plan
will restructure the Company's and subsidiaries' secured debt and
pay in full allowed claims of unsecured creditors, allowing the
Company to improve its balance sheet with the goal of returning to
overall profitability in light of current and expected demand in
the shipping markets in which the Company's subsidiaries operate.


The Company and its subsidiaries are taking actions to ensure that
the chapter 11 filing does not affect their operations, which are
expected to continue on an uninterrupted basis during the cases,
and have sought customary relief with respect to, among other
things, payment of balances owed to non-U.S. vendors and the
continuation of their insurance programs and their wage and benefit
programs for employees.

The Company anticipates business as usual, and that the Company and
its subsidiaries will meet all obligations that arise during the
case as they come due in the ordinary course.  The Company expects
to implement the restructuring and emerge from the court-supervised
process expeditiously, which is expected to be concluded within 60
days.  

Pursuant to the Plan, after an exhaustive and competitive marketing
effort conducted by a special committee of independent directors
and its independent financial and legal advisors, ownership of the
Company's river business subsidiaries and offshore business
subsidiaries will be purchased by a newly-formed entity owned by
affiliates of the Company's largest shareholder which submitted the
highest and best bids for the Company's river business and offshore
business, respectively.  Under the Plan, creditors holding in
excess of $290.1 million principal amount are to receive
approximately $84.0 million in cash in full settlement of their
indebtedness.  None of the Company's equity holders will receive
any distributions, and the Company expects that shortly after
emergence from Chapter 11 it will dissolve and cease to be a
reporting public company.

The Company expects that cash on hand, cash from operating
activities, and cash expected to be made available under a cash
collateral order will be sufficient to fund its projected cash
needs during its financial restructuring, and therefore does not
intend to seek debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing.

"We are very pleased to have received consent from all of our
lenders and most of our bondholders to go forward with the
prepackaged Chapter 11 plan, which we expect will improve the
long-term health and vitality of our river business and our
offshore business going forward," said Eduardo Ojea Quintana,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  "The
prepackaged Chapter 11 plan is the result of more than 18 months of
negotiations with lenders and bondholders, and we believe it will
leave our river business and offshore business able to strongly
compete in our markets.  We have taken steps to diminish the impact
of this process on our vendors, customers and employees, and we
intend to move forward as expeditiously as possible to complete the
restructuring.  Our vessels will continue to operate as
scheduled."

Information about the restructuring will be available at
http://cases.primeclerk.com/ultrapetrol,or via the Company's
restructuring information line at (844) 205-4334 (U.S. and Canada)
or (917) 606-6438 (International).

Nothing in this press release shall constitute a solicitation of
any holders of any of our indebtedness or our securities with
respect to the matters contemplated in the Plan or an offer to buy
or sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, any
securities of the Company.

The Company is being advised by the investment banking firm of
Miller Buckfire & Co. and is receiving financial advice from
AlixPartners, LLP.  Zirinsky Law Partners PLLC and Seward & Kissel
LLP act as legal counsel to the Company in this process.  

Ultrapetrol (Bahamas) Limited is an industrial shipping company
serving the marine transportation markets.  The Company serves the
shipping markets for grain, forest products, minerals, crude oil,
petroleum and refined petroleum products, as well as technological
products through its container feeder vessels, and the offshore oil
platform supply market through its operations in the three
segments of the marine transportation industry.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter - Latin America on
Aug. 9, 2016, S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'D' corporate credit
and issue-level ratings on South American shipping company
Ultrapetrol (Bahamas) Ltd.


ULTRAPETROL (BAHAMAS): Files Bankruptcy With Prepackaged Plan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ultrapetrol (Bahamas) Limited and 30 affiliated subsidiaries each
filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code
in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York,
in order to implement an agreement reached with their lenders and
bondholders on the terms of a comprehensive debt restructuring.

Contemporaneously with the petitions, the Debtors filed with the
court their Second Amended Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization
dated Feb. 6, 2017.  The Company and its subsidiaries negotiated
and received affirmative votes from all voting lenders and from
99.9% of the Company's note claims voting to accept the Prepackaged
Plan.

"We are very pleased to have received consent from all of our
lenders and most of our bondholders to go forward with the
prepackaged Chapter 11 plan, which we expect will improve the
long-term health and vitality of our river business and our
offshore business going forward," said Eduardo Ojea Quintana,
Chairman and chief executive officer of the Company, in a press
statement.  "The prepackaged Chapter 11 plan is the result of more
than 18 months of negotiations with lenders and bondholders, and we
believe it will leave our river business and offshore business able
to strongly compete in our markets.  We have taken steps to
diminish the impact of this process on our vendors, customers and
employees, and we intend to move forward as expeditiously as
possible to complete the restructuring.  Our vessels will continue
to operate as scheduled."

The Company and its subsidiaries are taking actions to ensure that
the Chapter 11 filing does not affect their operations, which are
expected to continue on an uninterrupted basis during the cases,
and have sought customary relief with respect to, among other
things, payment of balances owed to non-U.S. vendors and the
continuation of their insurance programs and their wage and benefit
programs for employees.

The Company, which operates in three business segments: River,
Offshore Supply, and Ocean, anticipates business as usual, and that
the Company and its subsidiaries will meet all obligations that
arise during the case as they come due in the ordinary course.  The
Company expects to implement the restructuring and emerge from the
court-supervised process expeditiously, which is expected to be
concluded within 60 days.

As disclosed documents filed with the court, the purpose of the
financial restructuring is to reduce Ultrapetrol's overall debt and
leverage and to enhance its long-term potential.   Specifically,
the financial restructuring is designed to eliminate Ultrapetrol's
debt obligations under the 2021 Notes and loans with the
International Finance Corporation - OPEC Fund for International
Development (IFC-OFID Loans).

"Ultrapetrol believes that the proposed restructuring will achieve
a substantial deleveraging of Ultrapetrol's balance sheet and
eliminate potential deterioration of value and disruptions to
worldwide operations that could otherwise result from a protracted
and contentious chapter 11 case," said Damian Scokin, a member of
the Board of Directors of Ultrapetrol.

The industrial shipping company blamed the deteriorating market
conditions affecting the energy and natural resource industries for
its liquidity crisis.  

"The international shipping industry has historically been highly
cyclical and volatile in terms of charter rates and profitability
due to changes in the supply and demand for cargo capacity and for
the cargo transported by vessels," Mr. Scokin related.  "The
factors affecting the supply and demand for vessels are outside of
Ultrapetrol's control, and the nature, timing, and degree of
changes in industry conditions are unpredictable," he added.

For the period ending Dec. 31, 2016, Ultrapetrol's unaudited
financial statements show consolidated assets (including non-Debtor
affiliates) totaling approximately $777.6 million and consolidated
liabilities totaling approximately $565.9 million.  Consolidated
revenues for the 12 months period ending Dec. 31, 2016, were
approximately $275.4 million.  

As of Jan. 31, 2017, Ultrapetrol has secured obligations
aggregating approximately $454 million in outstanding debt that it
incurred for the most part for the acquisition of vessels, the
repayment of prior debt, and general corporate purposes.  In
addition, as of Jan. 31, 2017, the Debtors have trade debt of
approximately $10.6 million, according to court papers.

Mr. Scokin said that as a result of negative market conditions and
the resulting impact on the value of its fleet and on Ultrapetrol's
revenue, Ultrapetrol breached certain covenants of its debt
agreements and, for liquidity reasons, ultimately decided not to
make payments on some of its debt.  Ultrapetrol entered into
forbearance agreements with it secured lenders in which the secured
lenders party to these agreements agreed, for the duration of the
forbearance agreement, not to accelerate their loans, take any
enforcement actions, or exercise any remedies with respect to
defaults resulting from the non-payment by the Parent of its
payment under the 2021 Notes and to work with Ultrapetrol in
negotiating a sustainable financial structure.  The forbearance
agreements were extended multiple times but ultimately expired on
May 31, 2016.

"Due to the challenging conditions ... the market value of the
Company's assets, including the collateral it has provided to its
secured lenders, has substantially declined, as has Ultrapetrol's
enterprise value.  Based on Ultrapetrol's cash flow projections,
the Company's current capital structure is not sustainable without
addressing significant over-leverage at the Parent and the River
Business and near-term maturities in the Offshore Business," Mr.
Scokin maintained.

Given that the Debtors' operations generate positive cash flow on
an operating basis, they expect to be able to fund their initial
postpetition operations by the use of (i) existing unencumbered
cash and cash flow and (ii) cash collateral, and do not require
debtor-in-possession financing at this time.

                      Plan of Reorganization

Pursuant to the Plan, after an exhaustive and competitive marketing
effort conducted by a special committee of independent directors
and its independent financial and legal advisors, ownership of the
Company's river business subsidiaries and offshore business
subsidiaries will be purchased by a newly-formed entity owned by
affiliates of the Company's largest shareholder which submitted the
highest and best bids for the Company's river business and offshore
business, respectively.  

As disclosed in the company press release, creditors holding in
excess of $290.1 million principal amount are to receive
approximately $84.0 million in cash in full settlement of their
indebtedness.  None of the Company's equity holders will receive
any distributions, and the Company expects that shortly after
emergence from Chapter 11 it will dissolve and cease to be a
reporting public company.

Under the Plan, the Company's River Business will be purchased by
Sparrow Capital Investments Ltd. And Sparrow C1 Sub Ltd. (or a
designated affiliate) for $73 million in cash, which cash would be
used pursuant to a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization on a pari
passu basis to retire the 2021 Notes and the outstanding credit
facilities with IFC and OFID.  In addition, if the Ocean Business
were to be sold before confirmation of the plan, then the 2021
Noteholders would receive 100% of net sale proceeds (subject to a
true-up payment to IFC and OFID); otherwise, the Ocean Business
would be transferred to the 2021 Noteholders under the plan of
reorganization.

The assets and liabilities of the Plan Debtors will be
substantively consolidated solely for plan purposes, including
voting and distributions.  Each 2021 Noteholder will receive (a)
its Pro Rata share of the portion of the $73.0 million contribution
allocated to the 2021 Noteholders plus (b) its Pro Rata share of
the Ocean Business Consideration, which will mean the net proceeds
from the sale of the Ocean Business (subject to adjustment).  Each
holder of an IFC-OFID Loan Claim will receive (a) its Pro Rata
share of the portion of the $73.0 million contribution allocated to
the IFC-OFID Loan Claims, (b) its Pro Rata share of the cash
maintained in the Debt Service Reserve Accounts (including any
interest accrued as a result of cash held in deposit-bearing
accounts through the Effective Date), and (c) its Pro Rata share of
cash representing the True-Up Amount.

Under the Plan, administrative claims, priority tax claims, and
other priority claims will be paid in full.  All Other secured
claims and general unsecured claims will be unimpaired.

UNITED GAS: Amidi Buying Sacramento Assets for $2.9 Million
-----------------------------------------------------------
United Gas and Food, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of California to authorize the private sale of
assets to Mike Amidi and/or Assignee for $2,900,000.

A hearing on the Motion is set for March 7, 2017 at 10:30 a.m.

The Debtor is the owner of the real property located at 1481
Meadowview Rd., Sacramento, California, consisting of the land,
together with all buildings, improvements, easements and
appurtenances thereon and thereto ("Property"), and presently
operates the convenience store and Valero-branded retail motor fuel
station located at the Property ("Business").  The Debtor desires
to sell the Property, the Business, the related personal property
used to operate the Business ("Assets") owned by Debtor and
exclusively used in the operation of the Business, and the fuel and
merchandise inventory, which is owned by Debtor and located at the
Property.

Pursuant to the terms of the confirmed Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization, all claims will be paid in full, in cash, from sale
of the Debtor's Assets.  The deadline for close of escrow on the
Assets is Dec. 31, 2016.  If escrow does not close by Dec. 31,
2016, the case will convert to Chapter 7.  Although Debtor obtained
court approval of sale of the Assets, the prospective buyers
withdrew their offers to purchase the Assets, and escrow did not
close as required on Dec. 31, 2016.  At the Status Conference on
Jan. 24, 2017, the Court continued the status conference to Feb. 7,
2017 requiring the Debtor to file all delinquent operating reports
otherwise the case will be converted to a case under Chapter 7.  If
the monthly operating reports are up-to-date by the Feb. 7
continued hearing date, the status conference to be further
continued to April 4, 2017 at 10:30 a.m.  On Feb. 1, 2017, Debtor
filed its operating reports.

After substantial negotiations with the Buyer, the Debtor accepted
an offer and entered into a Standard Offer, Agreement and Escrow
Instructions for Purchase of Real Estate, and Addendum(s) for the
sale of the Assets free and clear of any interest therein to the
Buyer for a total purchase price of $2,900,000, to be paid by the
Buyer in cash upon closing.

The Agreement has no contingencies, has a close of escrow date on
March 16, 2017 and simply needs the Court's approval.  The Broker
has had extensive communication with the Buyer and is confident
that the transaction will close.  The Buyer has provided proof of
funds necessary to comply with the terms of the Agreement.  The
Buyer has deposited the sum of $40,000 into escrow with Old
Republic Title Co.  The Property will be sold, transferred and
conveyed by the Debtor to the Buyer at the Closing free and clear
of all Encumbrances.

The secured debt on the Debtor's Assets is as follows: (i) Secured
claim of Merchants Bank of California, N.A. in the amount of
$1,535,856, as of Dec. 1, 2016; (ii) Secured claim of the Internal
Revenue Service in the amount of $2,591; (iii) Secured claim of
Insight Environmental, Inc. in the amount of $361,661; and, (iv)
Secured claim of State Board of Equalization in the amount of
$25,321.

The Debtor believes that the sale of the Assets of the Debtor is in
the best interest of all creditors and will be sufficient to pay
all creditor claims pursuant to the terms of the Confirmed Plan.
The Debtor has conducted an investigation of the Assets and has
evaluated its options regarding the sale.  As a result thereof, the
Debtor believes that the respective offer for the Assets set forth
represents the best offer for the Assets.  Accordingly, the Debtor
respectfully asks the entry of an Order granting the Sale Motion,
including approving the Agreement, approving the sale of the Assets
free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, and interests,
and grant such other and further relief as is just and proper.

The Debtor asks that the Court enter an Order waiving the 14-day
stay set forth in Rules 6004(g) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure and providing that the Order granting the Motion be
immediately enforceable and that the closing under the Agreement
may occur immediately.

UNITED ROAD: Files for Bankruptcy; Towing Business up for Sale
--------------------------------------------------------------
United Road Towing, Inc., together with 28 of its subsidiaries,
sought bankruptcy protection with the goal of pursuing a sale of
their business.  An auction of the Debtors' assets is planned
before April 2017.

Among the factors cited by the Debtors which contributed to their
decision to commence the Chapter 11 cases are: (a) the lack of
capital for marketing and equipment purchases, (b) the decrease in
the price of scrap metal, (c) legal costs incurred in connection
with a non-compete lawsuit commenced against certain former
executives of the company, and (d) a class-action case filed by
owners of motor vehicles who had their vehicle towed in Nevada
without their prior consent.

For the past two years, United Road enjoyed a generally positive
financial status, with $88.1 million in gross revenue and a $2.8
million EBITDA for 2015 and an estimated $87.6 million in gross
revenue and $5.6 million EBITDA in 2016, as disclosed in court
papers.  According to the Debtors, although they generate positive
EBITDA, they do not have sufficient free cash flow or access to
capital to satisfy a $5 million judgment in the Class Action Suit
should judgment ultimately be entered.

"If the class action plaintiffs obtain a judgment and begin
enforcing remedies against the Debtors' assets, that would cause a
severe deterioration in the value of the Debtors' assets," said  
Michael J. Mahar, chief financial officer of United Road.

In May 2010, certain of the Debtors were named as defendants in a
class action lawsuit in the Nevada District Court in Clark County.
Following trial, in July 2015, the District Court found United Road
liable to the plaintiffs in the amount of $5 million.  Based on the
outcome of the hearing held on Feb. 2, 2017, a judgment likely
would have been entered within this week.

According to the Debtors, they spent many months following the
trial attempting to negotiate a resolution with counsel for the
plaintiffs.  However, the parties were unable to come to agreement
on the settlement of the Class Action Suit.

Unable to resolve the Class Action Suit, the Debtors began
exploring strategic alternatives to restructuring, including the
potential sale of their business as a going-concern.  The Debtors
intend to seek the Court's approval of a sale and auction process
shortly after the Petition Date.

Wells Fargo, National Association, has agreed to provide a $35.25
million senior secured debtor-in-possession financing, subject to
the court's approval.  Proceeds of the DIP Facility will be used to
pay employees and vendors.

The Chapter 11 cases (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 17-10249) are
assigned to Judge Laurie Selber Silverstein.

The Debtors estimated assets in the range of $10 million to $50
million and liabilities of up to $100 million.  As of the Petition
Date, the Debtors owe approximately $13.8 million to their
first-lien lenders and $19.36 million to their second-lien lenders,
Court documents show.

Winston & Strawn LLP serves as the Debtors' general counsel.  Young
Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP serves as the Debtors' Delaware
counsel.  Getzler Henrich & Associates LLC acts as the Debtors'
financial advisor.  SSG Advisors LLC acts as investment banker to
the Debtors.  Rust Consulting/Omni Bankruptcy serves as the
Debtors' noticing, claims & balloting agent.

Headquartered in Mokena, Illinois, the Debtors provide towing,
recovery, impound, and vehicle management solutions services to
both the private and public sector.  Through a portfolio of local
and regional brands operating across 10 different regions in eight
different states, the Debtors dispatch approximately 500,000 tows,
manage over 200,000 impounds and sell over 38,000 vehicles annually
across the United States, according to court papers.

VANGUARD NATURAL: S&P Lowers CCR to 'D' on Ch. 11 Restructuring
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its corporate credit and senior
unsecured debt ratings on Houston-based exploration and production
company Vanguard Natural Resources LLC to 'D' from 'CCC-'.

The recovery rating on the company's 8.375% unsecured notes due
2019 and 7.875% unsecured notes due 2020 remains '4', indication
S&P's expectation of an average recovery (30% to 50%, lower half of
the range) in the event of default.

The 'D' ratings reflect Vanguard's announcement that it has filed
for protection under Chapter 11 under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code,
where it will implement a negotiated settlement with bondholders
and lenders.

WEST CORP: Reports $193M Net Income in 2016
-------------------------------------------
West Corporation announced its fourth quarter and full year
2016 results.

The Company reported net income of $68.32 million on $567.4
million of revenue for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2016,
compared to net income of $62.27 million on $568.4 million
of revenue for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2015.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2016, the Company reported net
income of $193.4 million on $2.29 billion of revenue
compared to net income of $241.8 million on $2.28 billion
of revenue during the prior year.

As of Dec. 31, 2016, West Corporation had $3.44 billion in
total assets, $3.88 billion in total liabilities and a
total stockholders' deficit of $441.8 million.

The Company also announced a $0.225 per common share dividend.
The dividend is payable on March 2, 2017, to shareholders
of record as of the close of business on Feb. 21, 2017.

"West Corporation finished the year with a fourth quarter
that was stronger than we expected," said Tom Barker,
chairman and chief executive officer.  "Our consolidated
revenue was down slightly primarily due to a decline in
conferencing revenue.  However, our four growth businesses
(UCaaS, Safety Services, Interactive Services and
Specialized Agent Services) grew 5.5 percent on an organic
basis in the fourth quarter.  Additionally, we had
double-digit growth in free cash flow in the fourth quarter
and full year.  During the fourth quarter we also made
changes to our cost structure that we expect to positively
impact our results in 2017 and further strengthen West for
the future."

"In 2016, West generated record operating cash flow.  We
deployed this cash toward repaying $191 million of our
long-term debt, making two acquisitions for approximately
$20 million and returning nearly $100 million to our
shareholders in the form of dividends and stock repurchases,"
said Jan Madsen, chief financial officer.  "We also took
steps to refinance our debt, ending the year with a more
attractive maturity profile and decreased leverage ratio.
We believe each of these steps is consistent with our focus
on driving shareholder value and enhancing West's financial
flexibility."

Services raised its corporate credit rating on West Corp. to 'BB-'
from 'B+'.  The upgrade reflects Standard & Poor's view that lower
debt leverage and a less aggressive financial policy will
strengthen the company's financial profile.

In the April 4, 2013, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investor Service
upgraded West Corporation's Corporate Family Rating to 'B1' from
'B2'.  "The CFR upgrade to B1 reflects West's shift to a more
conservative capital structure and financial policies as a
publicly
owned company," stated Moody's analyst Suzanne Wingo.

reorganization.  The Committee may also perform other services as
are in the interests of the unsecured creditors whom it
represents.

interests in the remaining Debtors.  Debtor Mador Financing, LLC

2015, (b) Mador Funding, LLC approximately $15.6 million and (c)

[*] January Total Bankruptcy Filings Up 5% from 2016
----------------------------------------------------
Total U.S. bankruptcy filings increased 5 percent in January 2017
from the same period last year, according to data provided by Epiq
Systems, Inc.

Bankruptcy filings totaled 55,212 in January 2017, up from the
January 2016 total of 52,560. With the total filings in both
December 2016 and January 2017 increasing 5 percent over the
previous year, total bankruptcies registered back-to-back monthly
gains for the first time since 2010.  Consumer filings also
increased 5 percent in January 2017 to 52,421 from the January 2016
consumer filing total of 49,733.  Total commercial filings
decreased slightly in January 2017 to 2,791, representing a 1
percent decrease from the 2,827 business filings recorded in
January 2016. The 398 total commercial chapter 11 filings in
January 2017 represented a decrease of 19 percent from January
2016's total of 494.

"While bankruptcies plunged last year to their lowest levels since
the implementation of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer
Protection Act of 2005, filings are beginning to climb," said ABI
Executive Director Samuel J. Gerdano. "As interest rates increase
and the cost of borrowing rises, more debt-burdened consumers and
businesses may seek the financial shelter of bankruptcy."

Total bankruptcy filings for the month of January 2017 decreased 2
percent compared to the 56,414 total filings registered in December
2016.  Total noncommercial filings for January 2017, 52,421, also
represented a 2 percent decrease from the December 2016
noncommercial filing total of 53,469.  The January 2017 commercial
filing total of 2,791 represented a 5 percent decrease from the
December 2016 commercial filing total of 2,945. January 2017's 398
commercial chapter 11 filings, however, represented an 18 percent
increase from the 337 filings recorded the previous month.

The average nationwide per capita bankruptcy-filing rate in January
2017 was 2.13 (total filings per 1,000 per population), a decrease
from December 2016's rate of 2.48.  Average total filings per day
in January 2017 were 2,629, a 5 percent decrease from the 2,766
total daily filings recorded in January 2016 (due to 21 filing days
during the month in 2017 versus 19 filing days in January 2016).
States with the highest per capita filing rates (total filings per
1,000 population) in January 2017 were:

   1. Alabama (5.43)
   2. Tennessee (5.08)
   3. Georgia (4.30)
   4. Arkansas (3.44)
   5. Illinois (3.41)

"destroying consumers' FICO scores" by failing to adequately report
that they declared bankruptcy.

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
http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today.

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

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