444 EAST 13: Exclusive Plan Filing Period Extended Until July 18
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Robert D. Drain of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York has extended the period within which
444 East 13 LLC has the exclusive right to file and to solicit
acceptances of a chapter plan through and including July 18, 2018
and Sept. 14, 2018, respectively.

The Troubled Company Reporter has previously reported that the
Debtor sought for another extension of the Exclusive Periods to
ensure that the Court, the Debtor and other parties in interest are
not distracted by the filing of any competing or premature plans.

The Debtor has only been in bankruptcy for approximately eight
months. Since the Debtor's last request for an extension of the
Exclusive Periods, the Debtor has been moving towards the likely
possibility of a refinancing of the Debtor's current liabilities.
The Debtor has currently been in discussions with various lenders
for the terms of a proposed refinancing.

While the Debtor is pursuing the refinancing option, the Debtor is
also still looking into whether selling the Property would be a
viable approach. The Debtor anticipated retaining a broker to
market and sell the Property, should a sale bring greater value to
the Debtor's estate than any proposed refinancing. In order to
maximize the value of a potential sale, the Debtor is also pursuing
the possibility of leasing a vacant commercial space. This will
also require the retention of a commercial lease broker, which the
Debtor has already selected.

Another important aspect of moving this case forward towards a
possible refinancing or sale is getting the Debtor's rent roll in
order. The Debtor's Property has 16 residential units, eight of
which are market leases, and the other eight are rent-stabilized.
The rent-stabilized tenants have been withholding rent for almost a
year based upon the previous condition of the Property. The Debtor
has continued to negotiate with the representatives of the
rent-stabilized tenants who continue to withhold rents from the
Debtor, owing to certain concerns regarding how the Property was
operated by previous management prior to the Petition Date.

The Debtor said that it has addressed these tenants concerns with
respect to the condition of the Property, and continued to address
any concerns, and believed it is close to a settlement which will
provide for the turnover of previous rents and the payment of rents
going forward.

While the Debtor is hopefully nearing a resolution to its chapter
11 case, the Debtor told the Court that it needed an extension of
the Exclusive Periods to preserve the value of the Debtor's estate
while it continues to pursue a refinancing or a sale of the
Property. The Debtor continued to pay adequate protection pursuant
to its cash collateral stipulation as well as remaining current on
its other postpetition obligations. The Debtor has been in contact
with its secured creditor with regard to the Debtor's restructuring
efforts, and upon information and belief, the secured creditor
supports the Debtor's efforts to date.

45 RHODE ISLAND: Requests Additional Time for Sale to Occur
-----------------------------------------------------------
45 Rhode Island Ave NE, LLC, requests the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Columbia for an extension of exclusivity period and
time in which to submit a disclosure statement and plan for 46 days
to and including May 29, 2018.

The material assets of the Debtor are a proposed condominium 3-unit
residential building of which 360 CB Fund I, LP claims the first
consensual lien. At the time of the filing of this petition, the
Debtor's property was subject to a pending foreclosure sale from a
secured creditor of the Debtor at the time of filing.

A Motion for Relief from the Automatic Stay of the lien of CB Fund
is pending, and Debtor has been discussing a sale of the Building
in which to satisfy the creditors of the estate. The Debtor has
received a potentially-binding offer for the Building, subject to
the Court's and CB Fund's consent.

The initial hearing for the Motion for Lift Stay is scheduled for
April 24, 2018 at 2:00 p.m., by which time it is anticipated a
resolution of the various factors in Debtor's course of action
should be resolved.

The Debtor believes that the contents of a plan and disclosure
statement could substantially be altered or removed altogether,
depending upon the amount of proceeds from the Sale for
distribution and the consent of CB Fund.

Thus, if the Sale is to occur, the Debtor anticipates a liquidation
plan to be submitted thereafter, could be significantly
streamlined, constituting a significant savings of time, costs, and
judicial resources, which savings could be applied to the claims of
creditors.

                  About 45 Rhode Island Ave NE

45 Rhode Island Ave NE, LLC, listed its business as Single Asset
Real Estate (as defined in 11 U.S.C. Section 101(51B)) whose

45 Rhode Island Ave NE filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D. Col.
Case No. 17-00709) on Dec. 14, 2017.  In the petition signed by
Joshua Davis, managing member, the Debtor estimated $1 million to
$10 million in assets and liabilities.

Judge Martin S. Teel, Jr., presides over the case.  James M.
Towarnicky, Esq., is the Debtor's counsel.


5 STAR INVESTMENT: Trustee Selling 15 Indiana Parcels for $550K
---------------------------------------------------------------
Douglas Adelsperger, the Chapter 11 trustee for 5 Star Investment
Group LLC and affiliates, seeks approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Northern District of Indiana to authorize the private
sale to Bhola Singh of (i) Star Investment Group, LLC's real estate
located in St. Joseph County, Indiana, commonly known as the
following: (a) 1310 South Spring Street, Mishawaka, Indiana for
$50,000; (b) 2018 South Brookfield Street, South Bend, Indiana for
$25,000; (c) 405 East Woodside Street, South Bend, Indiana for
$25,000; and (d) 1637 Huey Street, South Bend, Indiana for $10,000;
(ii) 5 Star Investment Group V, LLC's real estate located in St.
Joseph County, Indiana, commonly known as the following: (a) 1121
Oak Park Court, South Bend, Indiana for $7,000; (b) 1517 North
Kenmore Street, South Bend, Indiana for $33,000; (c) 19823 Jewell
Avenue, South Bend, Indiana for $50,000; (d) 310 East Woodside
Street, South Bend, Indiana for $25,000; (e) 313 East Victoria,
South Bend, Indiana for $25,000; (f) 3815 Ardmore Trial, South
Bend, Indiana for $25,000; and (g) 2012 East LaSalle Avenue,
Mishawaka, Indiana for $50,00; (iii) 5 Star Investment Group III,
LLC's real estate located in either Elkhart County, Indiana, or St.
Joseph County, Indiana, commonly known as the following: (a) 336
Smith Street, Mishawaka, Indiana for $30,000; and (b) 509 West
Beardsley Avenue, Elkhart, Indiana for $47,000; (iv) 5 Star
Investment Group II, LLC's real estate located in St. Joseph
County, Indiana, commonly known as the following: (a) 1023 South
25th Street, South Bend, Indiana for $45,000; and (b) 314 Fairview
Avenue South, South Bend, Indiana for $25,000; and (v) 5 Star
Investment Group IV, LLC's real estate located in either Elkhart
County, Indiana or St. Joseph County, Indiana, commonly known as
the following: (a) 1114 Clover Road, South Bend, Indiana for
$30,000; and (b) 719 Hiawatha Drive, Elkhart, Indiana for $48,000.

On the Petition Date, (i) 5 Star Investment Group was the sole
owner of the 5 Star Group Real Estate; (ii) 5 Star Investment Group
V was the sole owner of the Star 5 V Real Estate; (iii) 5 Star
Investment Group III was the sole owner of the 5 Star III Real
Estate; (iv) 5 Star Investment Group II was the sole owner of the 5
Star II Real Estate; and (v) 5 Star Investment Group IV was the
sole owner of the Star IV Real Estate.

The Real Estate is subject to various tax liens for delinquent real
estate taxes that have accrued for 2014 through 2017, and real
estate taxes that will accrue for 2018.  It may also be subject to
various sewage liens for delinquent sewage fees that have accrued
for 2014 through 2017, and sewage fees that will accrue for 2018.
It is also subject to various investor mortgages.

Upon information and belief, the prior owner of 2018 South
Brookfield Street, South Bend, Indiana, Gilberto S. Palma-Sanchez
entered into a Real Estate Land Contract dated Oct. 15, 2007 with
Roberto Flores.  The Land Contract was recorded on Oct. 15, 2007,
in the Office of the Recorder of Saint Joseph County, Indiana, as
Instrument No. 0740856.

Upon information and belief, at the time of the Land Contract,
Brookfield Street was subject to a real estate mortgage.  Pursuant
to the terms of the Land Contract, Mr. Flores was to make monthly
payments directly to Mr. Palma-Sanchez's mortgagee. On June 2, 2008
GMAC Mortgage, LLC initiated a mortgage foreclosure action against
Mr. Palma-Sanchez and the Unknown Tenant of Brookfield Street in
St. Joseph County Superior Court 7 under cause number
71D04-0806-MF-000593.  At the time the Foreclosure Action was
filed, Mr. Flores was residing at Brookfield Street.  A judgment
was entered in favor of GMAC on Oct. 16, 2017.  On Aug. 27, 2009,
Brookfield Street was sold at a sheriff sale to Federal National
Mortgage Association ("FNMA") as assignee of GMAC's judgment.

Subsequently, FNMA conveyed Brookfield Street to the Debtor, 5 Star
Investment Group by a Special Warranty Deed dated Oct. 28, 2009 and
recorded on Nov. 12, 2009 as instrument number 0937505 in the
office of the St. Joseph County Recorder.  In the Special Warranty
Deed FNMA warrants that Brookfield Street is being conveyed "free
and clear from all encumbrances whatsoever."

Accordingly, as a result of the foreclosure and sheriff sale, it is
clear that Mr. Palma-Sanchez, the prior owner, no longer has any
interest in the property. Likewise, it is the Trustee's position
that any interest held by Mr. Flores by virtue of the Land Contract
was extinguished by the Foreclosure Action and sheriff sale.
Moreover, the terms of the Land Contract have expired and Mr.
Flores no longer has any interest in Brookfield Street.
Accordingly, the Trustee disputes any interest Mr. Flores may have
in Brookfield Street.

Prior to the Petition Date, each parcel of Real Estate was subject
to a lease, each with an option to purchase in favor of certain
tenants.  The Leases, including the option to purchase in the
Leases, expired prior to the Petition Date and none of the Tenants
exercised their rights pursuant to the options to purchase.
Accordingly, the Tenants have no interest in their respective
properties they currently occupy other than their rights as
month-to-month tenants pursuant to Ind. Code Section 32-31-1-2.
Some of the Tenants have delinquent rents that are owed.  The
Trustee has attempted to collect the Delinquent Rents and will
continue to do so until closing.

On March 19, 2018, pursuant to the sole efforts of the Tiffany
Group, the Trustee entered into the Purchase Agreement for the sale
of all the Real Estate to the Purchaser.   The Purchase Agreement
provides for the sale of the Real Estate, free and clear of all
liens, encumbrances, claims and interests.  

The Purchase Agreement also provides that any portion of the Tax
Liens that represent delinquent real estate taxes, including real
estate taxes that have accrued for 2014 through 2017, will be paid
in full at closing.  In addition, it provides that any portion of
the Tax Liens that represent real estate taxes for 2018 will be
prorated as of the date immediately prior to the date of closing.  
Further, the Purchase Agreement provides that any portion of the
Sewage Liens that represent delinquent assessments will be paid in
full at closing, and any portion that represents assessments for
2018 will be prorated as of the date immediately prior to the date
of closing.  Moreover, the Purchase Agreement provides that any
other special assessment liens, utilities, water and sewer charges
and any other charges customarily prorated in similar transactions
will be prorated as of the date immediately prior to the date of
closing.

Regarding the Delinquent Rents, the Purchase Agreement provides
that at each closing, the Trustee is to assign any interest in such
Delinquent Rents to the Purchaser.  

Finally, the Purchase Agreement provides for separate closings for
each parcel of Real Estate.  The closings for the Real Estate will
occur on a rolling basis, beginning after May 15, 2018, with at
least four closings to occur each month following Court approval,
with all closing to be completed by no later than July 31, 2018.

A copy of the Purchase Agreement attached to the Motion is
available for free at:

     http://bankrupt.com/misc/5_Star_Investment_1199_Sales.pdf

The Trustee asks the Court to waive the requirements of Bankruptcy
Rule 6004(h).  He asks that the Order approving the sale will be
effective immediately upon entry in order to allow the Trustee to
timely and expeditiously consummate the proposed sale.

                  About 5 Star Investment Group

On Nov. 5, 2015, the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission filed a
complaint against Earl D. Miller, 5 Star Capital Fund, LLC and 5
Star Commercial, LLC, in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Indiana, Hammond Division ("SEC Action").

In its complaint, the SEC alleged that Miller, 5 Star Capital Fund,
and 5 Star Commercial defrauded at least 70 investors from whom
they raised funds of at least $3,900,000.  Additionally, on Nov. 5,
2015, the SEC obtained an ex parte temporary restraining order,
asset freeze and other emergency relief in the SEC Action.

5 Star Investment Group and its 10 affiliates owned by Eardl D.
Miller sought protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code
(Bankr. N.D. Ind. Lead Case No. 16-30078) on Jan. 25, 2016.  5 Star
estimated assets of less than $50,000 and liabilities of $1 million
to $10 million.  The Debtors' counsel was Katherine C. O'Malley,
Esq., at Cozen O'Connor, in Chicago, Illinois.

The cases are assigned to Judge Harry C. Dees, Jr.

On Feb. 29, 2016, Douglas R. Adelsperger was appointed as Chapter
11 trustee in each of the bankruptcy cases.

On March 23, 2016, the Court entered an order consolidating the
bankruptcy cases for purposes of administration only.

On June 24, 2016, the Court entered its agreed order granting the
Trustee's motion for substantive consolidation, substantively
consolidating the Debtors' bankruptcy cases for all postpetition
matters and purposes, effective as of the Petition Date, and
deeming that all assets and liabilities of the bankruptcy cases to
be consolidated into one bankruptcy estate, to be administered in
accordance with the Bankruptcy Code under the jurisdiction of the
Court ("Consolidated Bankruptcy Estate").

On July 21, 2016, the Court entered order granting application to
employ Tiffany Group Real Estate Advisors, LLC, as the bankruptcy
estates' broker.

Meredith R. Theisen, Esq., Deborah J. Caruso, Esq., John C. Hoard,
Esq., James E. Rossow, Jr., Esq., and Meredith R. Theisen, Esq., in
Rubin & Levin, P.C., in Indianapolis, Indiana, serve as counsel to
the Trustee.


688 10th AVENUE: Needs Additional Time to Complete Sale Process
---------------------------------------------------------------
688 10th Avenue Restaurant Corp. asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Eastern District of New York for an extension of the time
period within which the Debtor has the exclusive right to file a
plan of reorganization and solicit acceptances through and
including Oct. 3, 2018.

A hearing will be held on May 15, 2018 at 10:00 a.m., during which
the Debtor will consider extending the Debtor's Exclusivity
Period.

The Debtor believes that an extension of the Exclusivity Period is
essential at this juncture of the chapter 11 case.

The Debtor recounts that its bankruptcy filing was precipitated by
payroll tax obligations owed to the Internal Revenue Service,
obligations to secured and general creditors, and an Americans with
Disabilities Act lawsuit pending in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York, Case No. 17-cv-5009.

Through the bankruptcy, the Debtor intends to sell its business and
make a distribution to creditors from the proceeds of sale.

At a hearing on April 3, 2018, the Court granted the Debtor's
motion for entry of an order extending time to assume or reject its
lease with its landlord through July 5, 2018.

On April 5, 2018, the Court entered an order authorizing the
Debtor to employ Great American Brokerage, Inc. as its business
broker for the purpose of marketing the Debtor's business for sale
as a going concern and Great American has begun its marketing
efforts.

Due to the status of the Debtor's efforts to sell its business as a
going concern, it is premature for the Debtor to be filing a plan
at this juncture. In order to reorganize, the Debtor needs an
additional period of time to finalize a sale, close that
transaction and file a plan of reorganization.

Although not able to file a plan at this juncture of the case, the
Debtor has taken concrete and positive steps toward reorganization.
The Debtor expects that it will be in a position to file a plan
prior to the new exclusivity deadline requested of October 3, 2018

              About 688 10th Avenue Restaurant Corp.

688 10th Avenue Restaurant Corp. operates a Cuban style restaurant
located at 688 10th Avenue, New York.

less than $50,000 and liabilities of less than $1 million.  Judge
Elizabeth S. Stong presides over the case.

A hearing on the Motion is set for April 26, 2018 at 3:30 p.m.  The
objection deadline is April 19, 2018.

The Debtor is the fee simple owner of the Real Property.  The Real
Property is a 20' x 100' lot, improved by a fully attached
three-story, two-family residence, defined by 2,100 square feet of
living space.  No tenants presently live in the Real Property.

MYC & Associates, Inc., the Debtor's real estate broker inspected
the Real Property in March 2018, and believes that the market value
of the Real Property is approximately $600,000.  Based upon the
Debtor's review of: (i) its books and records; (ii) certain
documents maintained by the New York City Department of Finance,
which are publicly available on its Automated City Register
Information System ("ACRIS"); and (iii) proof of claim no. 3, filed
in the Debtor's case on March 27, 2018, it appears that Washington
Equity and Funding Corp. possesses a first in right recorded
mortgage against the Real Property.  According to the proof of
claim filed by Washington Equity, its total present secured claim,
as perfected against the Real Property, is $403,905.

Furthermore, also secured against the Real Property, as evidenced
by the filed proofs of claim and reflected in the Debtor's
schedules to its bankruptcy petition, are the claims of: (i) NYCTL
1998-2 Trust and the Bank of New York Mellon in the asserted amount
of $6,200 [Claim No. 1]; and (ii) New York City Department of
Finance in the asserted amount of $26,145 [Claim No. 2].  Thus, the
Debtor believes that the total secured encumbrance on the Real
Property is approximately $436,251 based upon the market analysis
undertaken by MYC, and the described secured encumbrances.

The Debtor believes that significant equity exists in the Real
Property.  It further believes that such that the sale of the Real
Property will bring real value to creditors of the Debtor's estate.
Specifically, it calculates the net benefit to the estate from the
sale of the Real Property to be approximately $127,749, broken down
as follows: (i) Washington Equity - $403,905; (ii) NYCTL 1998-2
Trust - $6,200; (iii) NYC Dept. of Finance - $26,145; and (iv) MYC
Commission (6%) - $36,000.  Thus, the Debtor believes that it
should be able to sell the Real Property to reduce same to cash,
for the benefit of creditors of the estate.

In an abundance of caution and sake of clarity, the Debtor wishes
to make it absolutely clear that it does not seek the authority or
jurisdiction of the Court to sell the real property commonly known
as 319 Pulaski Street, Brooklyn, New York, identified under Block
1594, Lot 62, in the County of Kings ("Adjacent Property").
Rather, such sale is only discussed with respect to the fact that
should MYC sell the Adjacent Property, in conjunction with the Real
Property in a manner that increases the value of the Debtor's Real
Property, MYC has agreed to reduce its commissions from the sale of
the Real Property.

Specifically, B&H Associates Group, LLC, an affiliate of Debtor, is
the fee simple owner of the Adjacent Property.  The Adjacent
Property is located directly next to the Real Property.

B&H has similarly retained MYC as its real estate broker, by
separate agreement, to sell the Adjacent Property in addition to
the Real Property to enhance the values of both properties.  The
Debtor and B&H believe the sale of Real Property and Adjacent
Property, as a bulk sale, would benefit all parties, as they would
have greater interest to a developer as a larger building lot.  B&H
has expressly consented to the sale by MYC through the proposed
auction process, as is evidenced in the affidavit of consent
executed by Bernard Niederman, managing member of B&H.

MYC inspected the Adjacent Property in March 2018, and believes
that the market value of the Adjacent Property is approximately
$600,000.  Under the terms of the retention Order of MYC, in the
event MYC successfully sells the Adjacent Property, in addition to
the Real Property, MYC will seek a reduced commission in the amount
of 4% (opposed to 6% commission for only the sale of the Real
Property) calculated from the gross proceeds realized from the sale
of the Real Property and the Adjacent Property.

Under the proposed terms and conditions of sale by the Debtor, the
Real Property and the Adjacent Property will be offered for sale as
separate parcels, and then as a combined bid.  The ultimate bid
that is the best for the Debtor's estate will be accepted, subject
of course to the Court's approval.

The adversary proceeding relates to an impairment of the title of
the Real Property, by the filing of a Notice of Pendency.  The
Debtor is presently moving by summary judgment to expunge the
impairment.  Prior to the Petition Date, on Jan. 26, 2017, the
Estate of Rafael Rodriguez, George Rodriguez, and Pulaski Street
Corp. commenced an action styled the Estate of Rafael Rodriguez,
George Rodriguez, and Pulaski Street Corp., Plaintiffs against
Konitz I Inc.; Shabsi Pfeiffer, individually, and in his capacity
as an officer of Konitz I Inc.; Rodriguez 319 & 321 Corp.; Nazrul
Islam, individually and in his capacity as an officer of Rodriguez
319 & 321 Corp.; 84 Elton LLC; B & H Associates Group LLC; and
Bernard Niederman, individually and as a member of 84 Elton LLC and
a member  of B & H Associates Group LLC, Defendants, previously
pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Kings
County, Index No. 501730/2017, thereafter pending in the Surrogate
Court of the State of New York, Kings County, File No.
2014-1605/C.

The Plaintiffs' commenced the Supreme Court Action, against, inter
alia, the Debtor, asking to avoid the transfer of the Real Property
from the Estate of Rafael Rodriguez to Rodriguez 319 & 321 Corp.,
and the subsequent transfer by Rodriguez 319 & 321 Corp. to the
Debtor.  The complaint is based upon unsupported allegations of
fraud in the inducement and asks to cancel the deed transfers, or,
in the alternative, for a money judgment for the fair market value
of the Real Property.  As part of the Supreme Court Action, the
Plaintiffs' caused a notice of pendency to be placed upon the title
of the Real Property.  Pre-petition, the Debtor timely filed a
motion seeking dismissal of the Supreme Court Action on April 30,
2017.

On July 19, 2017, in the Supreme Court Action, Justice Wavny
Toussaint entered an Order which "respectfully referred/transferred
the Supreme Court Action to Surrogates Court, Kings County. This
action is directly related to a matter pending in Surrogates Court,
under index number 2014-1605.  The Supreme Court Action relates to,
and concerns, property of the Debtor's estate, the administration
of the estate, the ability of the Debtor to expeditiously liquidate
property of the Debtor's estate, and to resolve pending litigation
against the Debtor's estate.

On Jan. 17, 2018, the Debtor commenced the Adversary Proceeding.
The Plaintiffs' have failed to interpose opposition to the Notice
of Removal and failed to appear at the pre-trial conferences held
before Your Honor on the Adversary Proceeding.  The Debtor shall,
contemporaneous to the Application, file with the Court a motion
seeking summary judgment that the Plaintiffs' maintain no viable
causes of action as against the Debtor and seek the removal of the
Notice of Pendency from the title of the Real Property.  The Debtor
believes the Plaintiffs' action against it is meritless based upon
a clear and express release granted by the Plaintiffs in favor
of the Debtor.

The Debtor proposes and seeks Court approval of the bidding
procedures.

The salient terms of the Bidding Procedures are:

     a. Property: The real property commonly known as and located
at 321 Pulaski Street, Brooklyn, New York.

     c. The Sale of the Property will take place on May 17, 2018 at
12:30 p.m. in Room 3554 of the U.S. States Bankruptcy Court,

York or at such later date and time as will be chosen by the
Debtor.

     d. The Property will first be offered in bulk with the
Adjacent Property owned by B&H and then individually.  If the bulk

individual bids for 319 and the Property exceeds the bulk bid, 319
and the Property will be sold individually.

     e. In order to be permitted to bid, either individually or in
bulk, on the Property, prior to the commencement of the Sale, and
as a condition to be able to bid at the Sale, each prospective
bidder must register with MYC, deliver to MYC the original signed
Terms and Conditions of Sale and a bank check in the amount of
$60,000 made payable to the Debtor, which amount will serve as a
good faith deposit against payment of the purchase price by such
bidder in the event that such bidder is determined to have made the
highest or best bid.

     f. Within 48 hours after conclusion of the Sale, the
Successful Bidder of the Property will deliver to MYC a bank check
which amount must be equal to 10% of the successful bid minus the
Qualifying Deposit.

     g. The Successful Bidder must close title to the Property at a
date that is not more than 30 calendar days after the entry of an
order confirming the sale of the Property.  The Closing will take
place at the office of the Debtor's attorney, Rosen, Kantrow &
Dillon, PLLC, 38 New Street, Huntington, New York, or any other
location that is solely to be determined by the Debtor's counsel.

     h. The Court prior to the Closing may enter an Order
confirming the Sale.

     i. If applicable, the Successful Bidder will be responsible
solely and will pay any New York City, New York State or other
applicable real property transfer taxes incurred by the transfer of
the Properties by the estate at the Closing.  The Successful Bidder
acknowledges that he, she or it will be responsible for the
completion of any ACRIS forms, if required.

     j. The Property is being sold and delivered "as is, where is"
and "with all faults," without any representations, covenants,
guarantees or warranties of any kind or nature whatsoever, and free
and clear of all monetary liens, claims and encumbrances of
whatever kind or nature.

The successful bidder will enter into a contract of sale for the
Real Property with the Debtor, a summary of the terms of the
contract of sale are set forth:

     a. The Seller is the Debtor.

     b. The Proposed Purchaser is the bidder with the highest and
best offer.

     c. Property Description: The Real Property

     d. The conveyance is in "as is, where is," "with all faults"
condition, and subject to any and all Tenancies/occupancies that

entry of an Order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the Debtor's
sale of the Real Property to the proposed purchaser.

     k. Risk of Loss is the Seller's, until the date of Closing.

Here, sound business reasons exist to justify selling the Real
Property at an Auction Sale.  Indeed, allowing the Debtor to
proceed with the proposed Auction Sale will maximize return to
creditors of this estate by selling the Debtor's Real Property,
which has value.

                       About 84 Elton LLC

84 Elton LLC filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition (Bankr.
E.D.N.Y. Case No. 18-40038) on Jan. 3, 2018, disclosing under $1
million in both assets and liabilities.  Avrum J. Rosen, Esq., at
Rosen Kantrow & Dillon, PLLC, is the Debtor's counsel.

On March 21, 2018, the Court appointed MYC & Associates, Inc., as
the Debtor's real estate broker.


AGACI LLC: Needs Time to Finalize Negotiations for Exit Financing
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A'GACI, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western
District of Texas to extend for additional 90 days (a) the period
during which the Debtor has the exclusive right to file a Chapter
11 plan of reorganization, up to and including Aug. 7, 2018, and
(b) the period during which the Debtor may solicit votes and seek
acceptances of the Plan up to and including Oct. 8, 2018.

Absent an extension, the Debtor's initial exclusive filing period
and exclusive solicitation period will expire on May 9, 2018 and
August 7, 2018, respectively.

The Debtor asserts that cause exists for extending the Exclusive
Periods because the additional time will enable the Debtor to
finalize and implement its strategy for emergence from Chapter 11.


The Debtor contends that it has already (i) rejected several store
leases for unprofitable locations; (ii) made substantial progress
in negotiations with its landlords regarding post-emergence lease
concessions; (iii) maintained excellent relationships with vendors
that are key to successful post emergence operations; and (iv)
implemented numerous operational improvements, including
initiatives relating to freight cost reduction, labor
rationalization, and improved inventory mix.

Moreover, in each month of the Debtor's bankruptcy case, the
Debtor's sales figures have improved from the prior year on a
comparable store basis.

Now, the Debtor is diligently working on various aspects of its
plan of reorganization, including engaging in active negotiations
with sources for exit financing. The Debtor expects to file a plan
of reorganization by May 4, 2018. However, in the event that the
plan filing is delayed or solicitation cannot be completed within
180 days of the Petition Date, an extension of the exclusivity
period will promote the Debtor's successful exit from Chapter 11.

Significantly, the Debtor submits that its Chapter 11 efforts have
not come at the expense of its administrative creditors. The Debtor
has met postpetition obligations as they come due and has benefited
from its secured lender's consent to use cash collateral for such
purposes, as well as cash collateral orders entered by the Court.
The Debtor expects continued use of cash collateral and continued
satisfaction of administrative expenses in the ordinary course of
post-petition business.

Finally, the Debtor claims that the requested extensions of the
Exclusive Periods will provide the Debtor with the opportunity to
finalize discussions with key stakeholders regarding the terms of a
Chapter 11 plan. Affording the Debtor a full opportunity to
undertake an extensive review and analysis of the estate's assets
and claims, so that it may develop a plan that satisfies the
requirements of Chapter 11, will only help the creditors and other
parties in interest.

The Debtor believes that the requested extension of the Exclusive
Periods is warranted and appropriate under the circumstances,
particularly since the Motion is the Debtor's first request for an
extension. Further, the Debtor submits that the requested extension
is reasonable and necessary, will not prejudice the legitimate
interest of creditors and other parties in interest, and will
afford the Debtor a meaningful opportunity to pursue a feasible and
consensual plan as contemplated by the Bankruptcy Code.

ALBERTSONS COS: S&P Assigns 'B' CCR on Planned Rite Aid Merger
--------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned a 'B' corporate credit rating to
Albertsons Cos. Inc. (the surviving entity that 'B'-rated
Albertsons Cos. LLC has merged into). The outlook is stable.

The corporate credit rating on Rite Aid Corp. remains 'B', with the
acquisition expected to close early in the second half of 2018. ACI
plans to issue new debt and use the proceeds to refinance certain
existing Rite Aid debt, fund the cash portion of the merger, and
pay related fees.

S&P said, "At the same time, we assigned 'BB-' issue-level ratings
and '1' recovery ratings to the company's new $5 billion
asset-based lending (ABL) facility, ABL FILO term loan, and secured
bridge loan facility. We also affirmed the 'BB-' and '1' on
Albertsons' existing term loan B debt. The '1' recovery rating
indicates our expectation for very high (90%-100%; rounded
estimate: 95%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment
default.

"We raised our issue-level rating on ACI's existing $2.5 billion
senior unsecured notes maturing in 2024 and 2025 to 'B+' from 'B'.
We also revised the recovery rating to '2' from '4', indicating our
expectation for substantial (70%-90%; rounded estimate: 85%)
recovery for lenders in the event of a payment default. We also
raised  our issue-level rating on the existing Safeway notes to 'B'
from 'CCC+'. We revised the recovery rating to '4' from '6' to
reflect our expectation for average (30%-50%; rounded estimate:
30%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment default.

"We raised the issue-level rating on the existing New Albertsons
notes to 'B-' from 'CCC+' and revised the recovery rating to '5'
from '6' to reflect our expectation for modest (10%-30%; rounded
estimate: 10%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment
default.

"We expect the existing legacy Rite Aid 2027 and 2028 unsecured
notes will be uptiered into the ACI pro forma capital structure as
part of this Rite Aid and Albertsons combination. We note this pro
forma capital structure assumes the Rite Aid merger, which is
subject to shareholder approval, is consummated as contemplated.

"The rating on ACI reflects our view that despite projections for
modest synergies and a track record of executing such synergies as
demonstrated in its Safeway acquisition, there is significant
execution risk in combining drugstore operator Rite Aid into the
company's already complex, multi-bannered, and challenged grocery
business.

"The stable outlook reflects our view that ACI will post modestly
positive operating profit momentum in the coming year given its
growing size, scale, and resources, which position it to compete
effectively versus regional and independents grocers. While we
expect only modest synergies from this transaction relative to the
scale of the combined business, improving execution and returning
levels of food inflation should support improving ID sales for
ACI.

"We would consider a negative rating action if the company is
unable to drive the slight increase in revenue and margins we are
forecasting because of continued challenges in grocery execution or
further consolidation in the pharmacy sector, which negatively
impacts the combined company's competitive position. Lease-adjusted
leverage sustained well above the 6x range would also be a
consideration.

"Although unlikely given the high execution risk associated with
this acquisition over the initial year, we would take a favorable
rating action if leverage approaches 5x on a sustained basis. For
example, Albertsons would need to demonstrate EBITDA margin
expansion of more than 100 basis points above our expectations. We
would also need to believe that the company would not pursue large
leveraged acquisitions. Evolution of financial policies as a public
company would be another consideration."


AMG INTERNATIONAL: Exclusive Filing Period Extended Until April 30
------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge John K. Sherwood of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Jersey, at the behest of AMG International, Inc.,
has extended (a) the Exclusive Filing Period to April 30, 2018; (b)
the Exclusive Solicitation Period to June 29, 2018; and (c) the
Challenge Period to April 30, 2018.

The Troubled Company Reporter has previously reported that the
Debtor asked for an extension of its exclusive periods for a period
of 45 days. Additionally, the Committee has requested that the
Challenge Period be extended through April 30, 2018 as a part of
the relief.

This case is not large.  However, as of the Petition Date, the
Debtor had warehouses leased in five different states.
Additionally, the Debtor purchases product from overseas and
distributes domestically and internationally.

Furthermore, the Debtor commenced an adversary proceeding against a
supplier in possession of molds used to manufacture product.  The
Court recently granted the Debtor's request for injunctive relief
pertaining to turnover of property of the estate. Hearings in the
pending adversary were recently continued as the parties have been
engaged in settlement communications.  The parties are very close
to finalizing a deal, which will then permit the Debtor to work
towards a plan term sheet with the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors.

The Debtor has endeavored to cooperate with representatives of the
Committee and France Sport.  The Debtor has cooperated in an effort
to avoid costly discovery. Additionally, the Debtor's counsel has
already participated on several calls with counsel for the
Committee in order to answer questions pertaining to the Debtor,
its operations and potential restructuring alternatives. Finally,
the Debtor and its representatives met with the Committee, and the
parties continue with discussions regarding restructuring options.

As such, the Debtor required additional time to formulate a plan.
The Debtor believed that a plan term sheet may be negotiated in the
near future.  At this time, in evaluating the operations and the
impacts of the Chapter 11 filing, the Debtor is contemplating
reorganization.

The Debtor said that it is not seeking to use exclusivity to
pressure creditors into accepting a plan they find unacceptable or
as a delay tactic. Indeed, the Debtor has already met with the
Committee in a good-faith effort to negotiate a plan and,
therefore, if appropriate, the Debtor legitimately requires
additional time to formulate a plan, and to afford the Debtor
sufficient time to negotiate a plan of reorganization.

BERLIN PACKAGING: S&P Affirms 'B' CCR on Recapitalization
---------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'B' corporate credit rating on
Berlin Packaging LLC. The outlook is negative.

S&P said, "At the same time, we assigned our 'B' issue-level and
'3' recovery ratings to the company's proposed senior secured
first-lien credit facilities, which comprises a $75 million
revolving credit facility and a $815 million first-lien term loan.
The '3' recovery rating indicates our expectation for meaningful
recovery (50%-70%; rounded estimate: 55%) in the event of a
default.

"Our negative outlook reflects Berlin's elevated leverage pro forma
for its proposed dividend recapitalization and the potential for a
future downgrade if credit metrics do not improve toward adjusted
debt to EBITDA closer to 7x over the next 12 months. We estimate
that the company's adjusted debt to EBITDA will be approximately
7.7x pro forma for the transaction."

The company's operating performance through 2017 was somewhat
mixed. New business wins helped drive modest 3.7% organic sales
volume growth, including organic growth from Bruni Glass (acquired
in November 2016). However, increased labor costs, general
operating expenses, and various acquisition and restructuring costs
offset sale gain contributions, resulting in a company's adjusted
EBITDA of $159.1 million for 2017, little changed from $158.5
million in 2016 and lower than our expectations when Berlin
announced the Bruni acquisition.

The negative outlook reflects Berlin's elevated leverage pro forma
for its proposed dividend recapitalization and the potential for a
downgrade if company credit metrics do not improve over the next 12
months. Adjusted debt to EBITDA will be approximately 7.7x pro
forma for the proposed transaction. S&P said, "Although we expect
the company's various sales and operational improvement initiatives
to support strengthening credit metrics over the next 12 months,
potential acquisitions and shareholders distributions combined with
less than expected earnings growth could inhibit Berlin's credit
metrics improving closer to 7x."

S&P said, "We could lower our ratings on Berlin if weaker than
expected sales growth or rising operating costs raise its credit
metrics above 7.5x on a sustained basis. This could occur if sales
volumes decrease by 200 basis points (bps) and operating margins
contract by 180 bps from our base-case scenario. We could also
lower our ratings if Berlin pursues acquisitions or shareholder
rewards that keep credit metrics at current levels with no
foreseeable improvement in the near future.

"We could revise the outlook to stable if a sustained improvement
in Berlin's overall operating performance improves its adjusted
debt to EBITDA to around 7x on a sustained basis. This could occur
if sales volumes increase by 400 bps and operating margins are in
line with our base-case scenario. In addition, we would require
that the company and its financial sponsor commit to financial
policies that maintain these improved metrics, inclusive of
potential acquisitions and shareholder rewards."


BERNSOHN & FETNER: Needs Time for Settlement of Disputed Receivable
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Bernsohn & Fetner LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York to extend (i) the exclusive period to
file its chapter 11 plan and disclosure statement to November 6,
2018; (ii) the Debtor's time to file its chapter 11 plan and
disclosure statement to November 6, 2018, (iii) the Debtor's time
to obtain confirmation of its chapter 11 plan to December 22,
2018.

As the Court knows, the Debtor sought relief under chapter 11 of
the Code because Randall Bernsohn -- a former partner of the Debtor
-- served restraining notices on both the Debtor and the Debtor's
primary bank which purported to restrain both the debtor and its
primary bank from spending, transferring or alienating any of the
Debtor's assets whatsoever. At that time, the Debtor was diligently
attempting to collect disputed accounts receivable and was on the
verge of reaching settlements with respect to several of these
disputed accounts receivable.

The Debtor wished to consummate several settlements of the disputed
accounts receivable and had expected to pay the proceeds pro rata
across all its creditors, but was unable to do so with the
Restraining Orders in place. All of the proceeds of such
settlements would go to Bernsohn at the expense of all other
creditors. Further settlement negotiations with Bernsohn proved
fruitless.  

The Debtor believed that chapter 11 offered the best forum for it
to collect its disputed receivables and realize assets for its
creditors. Since filing its chapter 11 case, the Debtor has settled
two of its disputed accounts receivable and has brought in over
$255,000 to the estate.

The Debtor has been in the process of settling other disputed
receivables and has had some preliminary discussions with its
largest creditor, but the Debtor needs more time to accomplish its
goals and pave the way for a successful plan. The Debtor is
continuing to attempt to resolve a number of disputed accounts
receivable, and if not successful, will commence adversary
proceedings before the Court.

Additionally, the Debtor is contemplating bringing certain
fraudulent conveyance actions. The Debtor believes that settlement
or litigation on these disputed accounts receivable and fraudulent
conveyance claims will bring significant funds into the estate,
which will provide for a meaningful distribution to creditors of
this estate, and allow the Debtor to propose a confirmable plan.

Within the next week, the Debtor will be filing a motion for a bar
order with the Court, which will provide the Debtor with clarity as
to the magnitude of the amount of its liability. Once the Debtor
has an opportunity to review the purported claims against it, the
Debtor will determine whether those claims are meritorious, and
whether the amount of those claims is correct.

The Debtor has already demonstrated significant progress toward
these goals, and must retain exclusivity to complete them. The
Debtor believes that with additional time to accomplish these
goals, it will be able to create a significant estate, and will be
able to confirm a viable chapter 11 plan and make a meaningful
distribution to those creditors that hold meritorious claims.

Thus, the Debtor asks the Court to consider the progress it has
made to date in creating a more sizeable estate and to recognize
that additional time will allow the Debtor to continue to (i)
collect and resolve disputed accounts receivable, (ii) prosecute or
settle its fraudulent conveyance claims, and (iii) object to those
claims that are not meritorious and/or are overstated, which will
provide a real benefit to the Debtor's actual and bona fide
creditors.

BERTUCCI'S HOLDINGS: April 27 Meeting Set to Form Creditors' Panel
------------------------------------------------------------------
Andy Vara, Acting United States Trustee for Region 3, will hold an
organizational meeting on April 27, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. in the
bankruptcy case of Bertucci's Holdings, Inc., et al.

The meeting will be held at:

         Delaware State Bar Association
         405 King Street, 2nd Floor
         Wilmington, Delaware 19801

The sole purpose of the meeting will be to form a committee or
committees of unsecured creditors in the Debtors' case.

The organizational meeting is not the meeting of creditors pursuant
to Section 341 of the Bankruptcy Code.  A representative of the
Debtor, however, may attend the Organizational Meeting, and provide
background information regarding the bankruptcy cases.

To increase participation in the Chapter 11 proceeding, Section
1102 of the Bankruptcy Code requires that the United States Trustee
appoint a committee of unsecured creditors as soon as practicable.
The Committee ordinarily consists of the persons, willing to serve,
that hold the seven largest unsecured claims against the debtor of
the kinds represented on the committee.

Section 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that the Committee may
consult with the debtor, investigate the debtor and its business
operations and participate in the formulation of a plan of
reorganization.  The Committee may also perform other services as
are in the interests of the unsecured creditors whom it
represents.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on April
17, 2018, Bertucci's, the casual restaurant known for its authentic
Italian foods and signature brick oven pizzas, on April 16
disclosed that it filed voluntary petitions for relief under
Chapter 11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") with Right Lane Dough
Acquisitions, LLC serving as the Stalking Horse Bidder.  Under the
asset purchase agreement, the Stalking Horse Bidder has agreed to
purchase substantially all of Bertucci's assets and assume certain
liabilities, subject to higher or otherwise better offers.


BLACK MOUNTAIN: Has Until Nov. 30 to Obtain Plan Votes
------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Bruce T. Beesley of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Nevada, at the behest of Black Mountain Golf and
Country Club, Inc., has extended the exclusive period for which
Debtor may solicit acceptances for a Plan of Reorganization through
Nov. 30, 2018.

The Troubled Company Reporter has previously reported that the
Debtor asked the Court to preserve its exclusive right to confirm
Debtor's Plan of Reorganization. On Jan. 31, 2018, the Debtor filed
its Plan and Disclosure Statement. In the ordinary course, the
Disclosure Statement would have come on for a hearing approximately
30 days later. However, due to the Court's calendar, the Disclosure
Statement is not set for hearing until April 10, 2018. While it is
conservable that confirmation might occur prior to May 31, 2018 --
the expiration date of the current exclusive period to confirm a
plan -- the Debtor sought an additional continuance of that
deadline in order to provide ample time for the approval of the
disclosure statement including any consideration of the proposed
revisions, as well as time for consideration of the plan by
creditors and any negotiation with creditor constituencies.

               About Black Mountain Golf & Country Club

Based in Henderson, Nevada, Black Mountain Golf & Country Club is a
member-owned golf facility open to the public.  The Company is
non-profit corporation and a tax-exempt entity.

The Debtor sought protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code (Bankr. D. Nev. Case No. 17-11540) on March 30, 2017.  In the
petition signed by Larry Tindall, president, the Debtor estimated
its assets at $10 million to $50 million and debts at $1 million to
$10 million.

The case is assigned to Judge Bruce T. Beesley.  

Morris Polich & Purdy LLP, now known as Clark Hill PLC, is the
Debtor's legal counsel.  The Debtor employed Coffey & Rader CPA as
its accountant and Harper Appraisal, Inc., as appraiser. The Debtor
hired Ray Fredericksen of Per4mance Engineering in connection with
its efforts to rezone its property.

No request has been made for the appointment of a trustee or
examiner, and no official committees have been appointed in this
Chapter 11 case.


BLUCORA INC: S&P Hikes ICR to BB on Reduced Leverage Expectations
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said it raised its issuer credit and senior
secured debt ratings on Blucora Inc. to 'BB' from 'BB-'. The
outlook is stable. S&P said, "We also maintained our '3' recovery
rating--indicating our expectation for 55%-60% recovery for lenders
in the event of a payment default--on Blucora's senior secured term
loan B and revolving credit facilities. At the same time, we
withdrew our ratings on Blucora's subsidiaries TaxACT and HD Vest
at the company's request."

The upgrade reflects achieved and expected debt reduction in line
with management's 2x leverage target, as well as continued
relatively stable operating performance. Debt repayments and modest
improvement in business performance improved debt to EBITDA to 3x
at year-end 2017 from 4.2x at year-end 2016. S&P said, "We expect
debt to adjusted EBITDA will remain between 2x to 3x over the next
12 months. We believe management will pay down debt to reach its 2x
leverage target over the next year or two. However, we do not
expect further debt reduction below that level, as we expect
shareholder spending and potentially acquisitions to take
precedence."

S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects that we expect debt to
remain between 2x-3x given management's 2x leverage target, with
continued good operating results and liquidity.

"Although unlikely over the next 12 months, we could raise the
ratings if weighted average net debt to EBITDA leverage falls below
2x on a sustainable basis, and the firm maintains liquidity and
business performance.

"Over the same time horizon, we could lower the ratings if we
expect leverage to increase above 3x or if liquidity, market
position, or profitability deteriorates. Specifically, if
subsidiary HD Vest's financial adviser retention or total client
assets substantially decline or if subsidiary TaxACT has a
meaningful decline in customer activity or revenue."


BON-TON STORES: Going Out of Business Sales Begin Today
-------------------------------------------------------
The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc., said going out of business sales will

Younkers nameplates.

The Company's stores, e-commerce and mobile platforms are open and
serving customers.  The liquidation sales are expected to run for
approximately 10 to 12 weeks.

Bon-Ton currently has 250 stores, 38 of which are already in
liquidation from a previously announced store closure process.

On April 18, 2018, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware approved an agreement between the Company and a joint
venture composed of the holders of the Company's 8.0% Second Lien
Secured Notes due 2021 and Great American Group, LLC and Tiger
Capital Group, LLC governing the liquidation of the inventory and
certain other assets of the Company.

Reuters reports that the winning bid is worth $775.5 million.

According to the Agency Agreement that Bon-Ton Stores entered into
with (a) GA Retail, Inc. and Tiger Capital Group, LLC and (b)
Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as the indenture agent and
collateral trustee for the 8.00% second-lien senior secured notes
due 2021, the Cash Purchase Price will not exceed [$574,831,000] as

the Sale consists of:

     $15,800,000 that the Purchasers will fund into the Carve
                 Out, as provided in the Final Order approving
                 the DIP financing;

      $3,000,000 the Purchasers will pay the Debtors to
                 provide liquidity for outstanding checks

    $125,000,000 of Note Claims that the Second Lien
                 Noteholders credit bid, and will waive and
                 deem "offset and exchanged for the
                 Purchasers' rights and the [Debtors']
                 obligations under the [Agency] Agreement"

     $93,800,000 that Great American and Tiger Capital will
                 pay cash from the Proceeds of the Assets

     $50,000,000 that Great American and Tiger Capital will
                 advance to the Debtors for wind-down costs
                 and expenses.

The Agency Agreement also provides that, subject to Bankruptcy
Court approval, Great American and Tiger Capital may pay, as an
Expense, retention bonuses and/or severance pay -- which bonuses
shall be inclusive of payroll taxes, but as to which no benefits
shall be payable -- up to a maximum of $7,400,000 in the aggregate,
to Retained Employees who do not voluntarily leave employment, are
not otherwise entitled to receive severance pay, and are not
terminated "for cause," as GA and Tiger may determine in their
discretion.

Pursuant to the Bidding Procedures, Great American and Tiger have
provided a cash deposit in the amount of $32,700,000, which is
being held in escrow by the Debtors' co-counsel, Young Conaway
Stargatt & Taylor, LLP.

CARL WEBER: Exclusive Plan Filing Period Extended Until May 18
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. John K. Sherwood of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Jersey, at the behest of Carl Weber Green
Properties, LLC, has extended the Debtor's exclusive period for
filing a plan of reorganization to May 18, 2018 and the period for
obtaining acceptances for such plan until 60 thereafter.

The Troubled Company Reporter has previously reported that the
Debtor asked for exclusivity extension, contending that the delay
in preparing and filing the plan has been caused by the delay in
approval of the Debtor's application to retain counsel.
Furthermore, the Debtor is still involved in a contested adversary
proceeding the outcome of which will have a material impact on any
plan filed by the Debtor. CWG is currently preparing its Chapter 11
Plan of Reorganization and Disclosure Statement for its
reorganization.

petition signed by Manager Philip Sivin, the Debtor estimated
assets of $1 million to $10 million and liabilities of less than $1
million.

Giordano, Halleran & Ciesla, P.C., serves as counsel to the Debtor.


CASCADES INC: S&P Alters Outlook to Pos. & Affirms 'BB-' CCR
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said it revised its outlook on Quebec-based
packaging and tissue producer Cascades Inc. to positive from
stable. At the same time, S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'BB-'
long-term corporate credit rating on Cascades.

S&P Global Ratings also affirmed its 'BB+' issue-level rating on
the company's asset-backed loan. The '1' recovery rating on the
loan is unchanged and indicates our expectation of very high
(90%-100%, rounded estimate 95%) recovery in our simulated default.
S&P Global Ratings also affirmed its 'BB-' issue-level rating on
Cascades' senior unsecured notes. The '4' recovery rating on the
notes is unchanged, indicating our expectation for average
(30%-50%; rounded estimate of 30%) recovery in S&P's simulated
default.

S&P said, "The positive outlook reflects our expectation for the
company's credit ratios to strengthen over the next two years to
levels we believe are commensurate with a higher rating. Continuing
strong packaging demand led by e-commerce growth, lower input
prices for recycled fiber relative to peak 2017 levels, and annual
debt repayment from free cash flows are expected to fuel the
improvement. We estimate Cascades' adjusted debt-to-EBITDA to
improve from 4.3x in 2017 to about 3.5x in 2018 and further decline
in 2019. These measures are strong for the current rating, but our
ratings continue to incorporate the potential for significant input
cost (especially old corrugated containers [OCC]) and packaging
price volatility. In the event that currently favorable industry
fundamentals continue and the company remains committed to
deleveraging, we would expect a high likelihood of an upgrade over
the next 12 months.  

"The positive outlook reflects our expectation that industry
fundamentals will remain favorable in the containerboard segment at
least over the next 12 months and contribute to steady improvement
in Cascades' credit measures. We estimate that the company will
generate adjusted debt-to-EBITDA of about 3.5x in 2018, with
further improvement estimated for 2019. We expect continuing
favourable packaging margins and debt repayment will underpin the
improvement, but also account for potential volatility in input
costs and packaging prices.

"We could upgrade Cascades within the next 12 months if continued
improvement in the company's operating performance, combined with
lower debt, resulted in expectation for adjusted debt-to-EBITDA
being sustained below 3.5x. In this scenario, we would expect
prices, input costs, and the company's capital expenditures to
remain about in line with our assumptions.

"We could revise the outlook to stable if we expect Cascades to
generate and sustain an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of above
3.5x. This could occur if EBITDA and cash flow generation come
under pressure from increased input costs or lower selling prices.
Leverage could also increase above our threshold if capital
expenditures increase beyond our expectations or company raises
debt to fund acquisitions."


CBAK ENERGY: Incurs $21.5 Million Net Loss in 2017
--------------------------------------------------
CBAK Energy Technology, Inc., filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K reporting a net
loss of US$21.46 million on U$58.37 million of net revenues for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2017, compared to a net loss of US$12.65
million on US$10.36 million of net revenues for the year ended
Sept. 30, 2016.

The Company reported a net loss of US$2.19 million on US$3.50
million of net revenues for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2016.

As of Dec. 31, 2017, CBAK Energy had US$153.13 million in total
assets, US$150.93 million in total liabilities and US$2.19 million
in total shareholders' equity.

Centurion ZD CPA Limited, in Hong Kong, China, the Company's
auditor since 2016, issued a "going concern" opinion in its report
on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended Dec.
31, 2017 stating 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
Dec. 31, 2017.  All these factors raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern.

Court for the Central District of Illinois to authorize their
private sale of the storage units located at 620 W. State Street,
Charleston, Illinois to Nathan W. and Sarah K. Brown for $106,000.

The Debtors own two commercial buildings with adjacent storage
units located at 620 W. State Street, Charleston, Illinois.
They've scheduled the value of the entire property at $329,000.
They're in the process of surveying and dividing the real estate
into two separate properties: (1) 7,000 square foot retail and
commercial building, and (2) 4,800 square foot commercial building
used as 30 storage units operated under the name Treasure Island
Storage.

The real estate is encumbered by a mortgage granted to Prairie
State Bank and Trust, 621 W. Lincoln Avenue, Charleston, Illinois.
The loan balance for the loan ending 6720 is approximately
$309,890.

The Debtors also have multiple other loans with Prairie State that

        2820         $20,863         29
        7440         $125,118        23
        6725         $43,734         28

On March 23, 2018, the Debtors and the Buyers, 1050 Co Rd 1925 E,
Greenup, Illinois, entered into an agreement for the sale of the
portion of the real estate containing the storage units for
$106,000, with $1,000 as earnest money deposit.  The Debtors wish
to sell the real estate by private sale free and clear of all
liens.  The The lien of Prairie State will attach to the proceeds
of the sale.  The net proceeds from the sale will be applied to the
loans listed.  Prairie State consents to this purchase.

A copy of the Contract attached to the Motion is available for free

to closing.

CLA PROPERTIES: Seeks August 31 Plan Exclusivity Period Extension
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CLA Properties SPE, LLC, and its debtor-affiliates request the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona to extend the time
during which the Debtors have the exclusive right to file a plan to
Aug. 31, 2018.

Absent an extension, the Exclusive Filing Period is currently set
to expire on April 17, 2018.

The Debtors submit that the Case has been pending for less than
four months and this is the Debtors' first request for an extension
of time. The Debtors contend that they are not seeking to use the
extension as a way to hold their creditors "hostages" of chapter 11
during exclusivity. Rather, the Debtors claim that extending the
Exclusive Filing Period to the Extended Date will facilitate moving
this case towards confirmation.

The Debtors are evaluating various options to actively work towards
filing a plan of reorganization. The Case is complex in that it
involves 13 debtors-in-possession all maintaining operations 28
individual sites in multiple states, including Arizona, Minnesota,
Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, Missouri, Nevada, and Texas. The Debtors'
business is in a competitive and specialized industry and the
Debtors have significant institutional knowledge and particular
expertise and experience in in operating the unique, single-purpose
entities comprising the Debtors using a proprietary curriculum.

Since the Petition Date, the Debtors' main focus has been on the
leases for their various locations to ensure continued operations
at all sites. In so doing, the Debtors have conquered a significant
hurdle to reorganization in reaching an agreement with ECE I, LLC,
the landlord and/or property owner of all of the 2017 Debtors'
locations.

In addition to resolving the need to immediately cure large pre-
and post-petition defaults with respect to the master lease for the
Debtors' locations, it allows the Debtors to temporarily avoid
complex and costly litigation and further extends the Debtors'
right to assume or reject the master lease and/or all subleases to
July 31, 2018. Thus, the Debtors seek to extend the Exclusive
Filing Period so as to coincide with the terms of the agreement
with ECE.

Having utilized most of the initial Exclusive Filing Period to
establishing a line of communication and negotiating with ECE, the
Debtors contend that they have not had sufficient time to prepare
the analysis of their operations and restructuring alternative, as
the other documents, such as projections and a liquidation analysis
that are necessary to propose a plan of reorganization and
disclosure statement.

The Debtors operate as part of a very successful consolidated
business, with annual revenues over $100,000,000 and there is
reason to believe that the Debtors will not only prosper, but
ultimately confirm a viable plan of reorganization. The Debtors,
therefore, are not using the extension process as a way to obtain
leverage against their creditors and are not seeking to extend the
Exclusive Periods to pressure any creditors into accepting a plan
of reorganization. Rather, the Debtors are still in the process of
determining the specifics of the plan and additional time is needed
to allow for an informed dialogue about and analysis of the
Debtors' future economic prospects.

Given these facts, it is plain that the requested extension of
exclusivity will facilitate movement towards a fair and equitable
resolution of the case. For that reason, the Court should grant the
requested extension of exclusivity.

The Debtors are in the process of attempting to make progress in
negotiating with creditors in the Case and expects to propose a
confirmable plan by the Extended Date.

CLARK ATLANTA UNIV: Moody's Alters Ratings Outlook to Positive
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has revised Clark Atlanta University's
(GA) (CAU) outlook to positive from stable and affirmed its Ba2
issuer rating.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The outlook revision to positive reflects stronger operations and
process management leading to growing enrollment, improved
operations and cash flow and notably better unrestricted
liquidity.

Clark Atlanta University's Ba2 favorably reflects growing
enrollment from growing national and international enrollment and
expanded programs. The rating also reflects stronger operations due
to revenue growth and expense controls as well as manageable debt.
The Ba2 rating incorporates high revenue reliance on student
charges from a narrow enrollment base with high reliance on
financial aid. Despite recent growth, CAU is vulnerable to
potential enrollment decline especially from among the 6% of its
students who are from outside the US.

RATING OUTLOOK

The university's positive outlook reflects the prospects of further
strengthening of its credit profile including improved operations
and unrestricted liquidity, with expectations of at least stable
enrollment and good cash flow generation.

FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE

- Continued growth in unrestricted cash and investments as well
   as liquidity

- Sustained cash flow margins providing good debt service
   coverage and funding for investment in facilities and programs

- Demonstrated ability to sustain revenue growth from recurring
   sources and constrain expenditure growth

FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO A DOWNGRADE

- Reversal of recent cash flow strengthening trend

- Decline in enrollment

- Substantially lower liquidity or significantly higher debt
   without consistently stronger cash flow

- Failure to address growing deferred maintenance

LEGAL SECURITY

The Ba2 rating is an issuer rating not assigned to any debt. The
majority of CAU's debt is financed through the U.S. Department of
Education Historically Black College and University Capital
Financing Program. The university has granted the department a
mortgage interest in the projects financed through the program.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Not applicable

PROFILE

Clark Atlanta University was established in 1988 from the
consolidation of two independent historically black institutions,
Atlanta University (1865) and Clark College (1869). CAU is a
private comprehensive urban research university. It offers
undergraduate, graduate, and non-degree certificate programs and
reported nearly 4,000 headcount enrollment for fall 2017.


COATES INTERNATIONAL: Incurs $8.38 Million Net Loss in 2017
-----------------------------------------------------------
Coates International, Ltd., filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K reporting a net loss of
$8.38 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2017, compared to a net
loss of $8.35 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2016.

There were no sales in 2017 and 2016.

Sublicensing fee revenue for the years ended Dec. 31, 2017 and 2016
amounted to $19,200 and $29,200, respectively.  Sublicensing fees
are being recognized by amortizing a license deposit of $300,000
over the approximate remaining life of the last CSRV technology
patent in force.

Research and development activities in 2017 and 2016 were primarily
related to retrofitting a Cummins next generation industrial
natural gas engine with the Company's CSRV engine technology, the
hydrogen reactor project and continuing development of production
parts and components for CSRV Industrial Gen Sets.  Research and
development expenses increased by $39,366 or 16.1% to $284,243 in
2017 from $244,877 in 2016.  This net increase is primarily due to
(i) a $128,994 increase in parts and materials charged to research
and development in 2017, partially offset by an ($89,400) decrease
in the amount of compensation and benefits allocated to research
and development activities.

As of Dec. 31, 2017, Coates International had $2.17 million in
total assets, $8.18 million in total liabilities and a total
stockholders' deficiency of $6 million.

The Company's cash position at Dec. 31, 2017 was $6,807, a decrease
of $2,356 from its cash position of $9,163 at Dec. 31, 2016.  The
Company had a working capital deficit of ($7,466,999) at Dec. 31,
2017, which represents an increase of $2,055,888 compared to the
($5,411,111) of negative working capital at
Dec. 31, 2016.  The Company's current liabilities of $7,578,024 at
December 31, 2017, increased by $1,919,240 from $5,658,784 at Dec.
31, 2016.  This net increase resulted from (i) reclassification of
$1,213,158 of its mortgage loan from non-current liabilities to
current liabilities because the mortgage loan matures in July 2018,
(ii) a $349,005 increase in deferred compensation payable, (iii) a
$205,524 increase in the derivative liability related to
convertible promissory notes, (iv) an $82,828 increase in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities, (v) a $51,015 increase in the
carrying amount of convertible notes, net of unamortized discount
and (vi) a $17,710 increase in promissory notes to related
parties.

The major outlays of cash during the years ended Dec. 31, 2017 and
2016 were for repayments of principal and interest on the mortgage
loan, repayments of loans from related parties, patent maintenance
expenses, employee compensation and benefits, legal and
professional fees, property taxes, financing costs, investors
relations expenses and other general and administrative expenses.

The report from the Company's independent accounting firm MSPC,
Certified Public Accountants and Advisors, on the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2017, includes an
explanatory paragraph stating that the Company continues to have
negative working capital, negative cash flows from operations,
recurring losses from operations, and a stockholders' deficiency.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.

CORNERSTONE HOSPITALITY: Auction of Two Lubbock Hotels Today
------------------------------------------------------------

51,910-square-feet property with 126 rooms originally built in
1962.  The sale includes the on-site restaurant, Sue's Cafe, but

hotel with 201 rooms.  The property was originally built in 1975
and has operated under multiple hotel names.  The
149,823-square-feet hotel includes a restaurant and meeting rooms.

between $3.5 million and $5.5 million each.  The live auction for
both properties, managed by Williams & Williams Real Estate
Auctions, will be at the Clarion Grand Park starting at 1 p.m.

Cornerstone purchased the Koko and Clarion in 2014.

According to the report, the company believes selling the
properties is in the best interest of creditors.

                  About Cornerstone Hospitality

Lubbock, Texas.  It owns the Clarion Grand Park Hotel and Koko Inn.
It is a small business debtor as defined in 11 U.S.C. Section
101(51D).

Cornerstone Hospitality sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. N.D.
Tex. Case No. 18-50034) on Feb. 26, 2018.  In the petition signed
by Abraham Lincoln, managing member, the Debtor estimated assets
and liabilities in the range of $1 million to $10 million.  The
Debtor tapped Max Ralph Tarbox, Esq., at Tarbox Law, P.C. as
counsel.

An affiliated company involved in the operating of the properties,
Lionshead Hospitality LLC, also filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.


COTTER TOWER: Delays Filing of Plan to Complete Sale Process
------------------------------------------------------------
Cotter Tower-Oklahoma, L.P., requests the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Western District of Texas to extend the exclusivity deadlines
in this case for approximately 80 days, being until June 29, 2018
for the filing of the Debtor's Plan and August 29, 2018 for
obtaining acceptances of the Plan.

Unless extended, the Debtor's initial Exclusive Filing Period and
Exclusive Solicitation Period are currently set to expire on April
11, 2018 and June 11, 2018, respectively.

The Debtor previously obtained approval of CBRE, Inc. as Real
Estate Broker to represent it in connection with the sale of the
Cotter Ranch Tower property. CBRE has commenced the marketing
process for the properties and begun to receive offers. CBRE is
listing brokers previously advised Debtor's counsel that there
would be a brief marketing period concluding in highest and best
offers for the property being due this month.

The Debtor asserts that cause exists to extend the exclusivity date
in this case for the following reasons:

      A. The Debtor filed this case in good faith. At the time the
case was filed, the Note secured by the Cotter Tower Ranch property
had matured, significant amounts of ad valorem property taxes were
coming due, and the Debtor required more than $300,000 in funds to
initiate an essential capital improvement project involving the
building’s HVAC system. Since the filing of the case, the
Debtor's representatives have been making essential repairs and
improvements needed for the property, and have been working with
Bank SNB on the use of cash collateral to continue operating the
building until the closing of a sale occurs. Further, the Debtor
has commenced making monthly interest payments on its loan with
Bank SNB, and believes it can continue to do so until the property
is sold;

      B. As noted above, CBRE has commenced the marketing process
and offers have begun to be made from various buyers. CBRE
anticipates a brief marketing period where highest and best offers
for the properties would be due this month. Once that process is
completed, Debtor's representative and counsel will be in a better
position to assess the amount of the net sales proceeds that would
potentially be available to satisfy creditors in this case. This
information is important in determining whether or not any
creditors will be impaired by the Plan, and would greatly
streamline the confirmation process;

      C. The extension is not sought for purposes of delay. The
Debtor continues to pay its post-petition obligations as they
become due;

      D. The Debtor has reasonable prospects for filing and
obtaining confirmation of a viable plan in this case. Based upon
the most recent appraisal, it is anticipated that there is
sufficient equity in the property to pay off creditors who may hold
allowed claims in this case with funds remaining to be administered
for the benefit of the heirs of the Estate of James F. Cotter;

      E. The Debtor is not using an extension of the exclusivity
period as a means to pressure creditors to submit to the Debtor's
reorganization demands. To the contrary, Debtor is seeking the
extension for the purpose of negotiating a sale of the property
that maximizes the value to all parties-in-interest; and

      F. The Debtor has requested no prior extensions of the
exclusivity deadlines in this case.

DATA COOLING: Unsecureds to Get 2.1% to 11% Under Liquidation Plan
------------------------------------------------------------------
Data Cooling Technologies, LLC, amended its Chapter 11 plan of
liquidation to provide that holders of Class 3 - General Unsecured
Claims are expected to recover 2.1% to 11.0% of their allowed
claim.  The previously filed plan did not provide any expected
recovery for general unsecured creditors.

Under the Amended Plan, the estimated claims pool for Class 3 is
$9,400,000.00 to $21,600,000.00.

Each Holder of an Allowed Class 3 Claim is entitled to vote to
accept or reject the Plan.  On one or more Distribution Dates, each
Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim will receive a Pro
Rata share of the net proceeds of the Liquidating Trust Assets
after the payment of all Allowed Fee Claims, Allowed Administrative
Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, Allowed Other Secured Claims,
Allowed Other Priority Claims, and the payment (or reserve for) of
all costs and expenses of the Liquidating Trust.

Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims will be paid in full
on the later of (i) the date on which such Administrative Claim
becomes an Allowed Administrative Claim or Allowed Priority Tax
Claim; or (ii) the date funds from the liquidation of Liquidating
Trust Assets are available to pay Allowed Administrative Claims or
Allowed Priority Tax Claims.  The range of estimated Allowed
Administrative Claims is $250,000 to $265,000 and the range of
estimated Priority Tax Claims is $2,000 to $20,000.

Based on current levels of Cash and the Debtors' financial
projections, the Debtors anticipate having approximately $70,000 of
Cash as of the Effective Date. The Debtors believe that this Cash,
plus the net proceeds from the prosecution of Causes of Action,
including Avoidance Actions, will be sufficient to pay in full
Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Secured Claims, Allowed
Other Priority Claims, and Allowed Priority Tax Claims.  As net
proceeds from Causes of Action are collected, the various Allowed
Claims detailed below will be paid in accordance with the Plan and
the Bankruptcy Code.

DAVID DUEHN: Proposes Sale of Personal Property for $108K
---------------------------------------------------------
David James and Sherri Lynn Duehn ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Minnesota to authorize the sale of personal
property, consisting of the following: (i) 2000 Chevy Pickup to
Shawn Streich for $2,500; (ii) Pull Type White Fuel Barrel to Shawn
Streich for $1,000; (iii) 2014 Merritt Trailer to Kevin Paulsrud
Farms, Inc. for $41,000; (iv) 2012 Wilrich Field Cultivator to
Schneider Farms, LLP for $35,000; (v) Kabota Lawn Mower to
Chris/Ames Lawn Care for $5,000; (vi) Woods Batwing Mower to Loren
Schwier/Golden Acres Grain Farm for $8,000; (vii) floater tires for
Case to Rich Ruetti/Ruetti Farms, LLC for $7,500; and (viii)
floater tires for John Deere to Matt Borge for $7,500.

A hearing on the Motion is set for April 12, 2018 at 11:00 a.m.
Due to the expedited nature of the Motion, the Debtors will not
object to any response to the Motion filed and served prior to the
hearing.

The Debtors are the current record owners or co-owners of the
Assets and the Assets are property of the bankruptcy estate.  They
believe the Personal Property may be subject to various security
interests, including a blanket security interest asserted by
Security Bank. Other creditors which may assert a security interest
in these specific items of personal property include John Deere
Credit and certain lease holder interests.

The Debtors seek authority to sell the personal property free and
clear of all such security interests.  The liens of the holders of
such security interests will continue in the proceeds of such sale
in the same dignity, priority, and extent as enjoyed by the secured
creditors prior to the Petition Date.

The proceeds of the liquidation of the Assets will be distributed,
after the payment of the costs and expenses of sale, to the holders
of secured claims against such Assets, if any, in accord with
applicable non-bankruptcy law, with the balance retained by the
Debtors for the benefit of unsecured creditors. The property to be
sold, except the 2000 Chevy Pickup and 2014 Merritt Trailer, are
fully secured and the money will be paid to Security Bank.

It is critical to sell the personal property as soon as possible in
order to provide ample time for potential buyers to use the
property in 2018 and such sale will likely generate the greatest
activity and best prices for the secured creditors of the estate.

The Debtors ask the Court to waive the 14-day stay of the Order
otherwise required under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 6004(h) to make it
effective immediately.

DEXTERA SURGICAL: Exclusive Filing Period Extended Until July 9
---------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Kevin J. Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware has extended the period in which Dextera Surgical Inc.
has the exclusive right to file a chapter 11 plan through July 9,
2018; and the period in which Dextera has the exclusive right to
solicit acceptances of the chapter 11 plan through September 10,
2018.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on March 28, 2018, the
Debtor sought for 90-day extension of the exclusivity periods so
that it can work to analyze claims, finalize a chapter 11 plan and
address other pressing issues arising in the case and to ensure
that this Chapter 11 Case continues to progress in an effective and
efficient manner.

On December 11, 2017, the Debtor entered into an asset purchase
agreement to sell substantially all of its assets to Aesculap, Inc.
or its designee. The Court approved the Sale and the closing of the
Sale occurred on February 20, 2018.

On February 14, 2018, the Court entered the Order, pursuant to
which the Court established, inter alia, a general claims bar date
of April 11, 2018.

While the Debtor expects to file a proposed chapter 11 plan in the
near future, because the General Bar Date is not until April 11,
2018, the Debtor needed additional time to complete an analysis of
the claims filed before it can finalize a plan that best serves the
Debtor's estates and parties in interest. Having sufficient time to
develop such a plan will ensure a smooth plan process, which will
in turn enable the case to continue to progress in an efficient
manner.

DIRECTVIEW HOLDINGS: Reports $1.55 Million Net Loss for 2017
------------------------------------------------------------
DirectView Holdings, Inc., filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K reporting a net loss of
$1.55 million on $2.90 million of total net sales for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2017, compared to a net loss of $4.79 million on
$460,702 of total net sales for the year ended Dec. 31, 2016.

As of Dec. 31, 2017, DirectView had $2.50 million in total assets,
$14.74 million in total liabilities and a total stockholders'
deficit of $12.23 million.

The report from the Company's independent accounting firm Assurance
Dimensions on the consolidated financial statements for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2017, includes an explanatory paragraph stating that
the Company had a net loss and cash used from operations of
approximately $1.5 million and 420,000, respectfully for the year
ended of Dec. 31, 2017 and a working capital deficit of
approximately $13 million.  These conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

"We have incurred losses since our inception, and have an
accumulated deficit of $27,844,136 as of December 31, 2016.  Our
operations have been financed primarily through the issuance of
equity and debt.  For the year ended December 31, 2016, net loss
and cash used in operations were $4,797,652 and $1,046,575,
respectively.  We are constantly evaluating our cash needs and our
burn rate, in order to make appropriate adjustments in operating
expenses.  We anticipate that our cash used in operations will
continue to increase as a result of becoming a public company as a
result of increased professional fees.  Our continued existence is
dependent upon, among other things, our ability to raise capital
and to market and sell our products and services successfully.
While we are attempting to increase sales, growth has not been
significant enough to support daily operations, there is no
assurance that we will continue as a going concern.  If we are
unable to continue as a going concern and were forced to cease
operations, it is likely that our stockholders would lose their
entire investment in our company," the Company stated in the SEC
filing.

"Our revenues are not sufficient to enable us to meet our operating
expenses and otherwise implement our business plan.

"At December 31, 2017, we had approximately $135,000 of accrued but
unpaid payroll taxes and liabilities due the federal government
which includes penalties and interest.  We do not have the funds
necessary to satisfy this obligation.  If we are unable to raise
the funds necessary, it is possible that we will be subject to
significant additional fines and penalties, Mr. Ralston, our CEO,
could be personally subject to a 100% penalty on the amount of
unpaid taxes and the government could file liens against our
company and our bank accounts until such time as the amounts have
been paid."

DPW HOLDINGS: Sells $1.55 Million Convertible Notes to 3 Investors
------------------------------------------------------------------
DPW Holdings, Inc., entered into securities purchase agreements
with three institutional investors on April 16, 2018, to sell for
an aggregate purchase price of $1,550,000, (i) 12% Secured
Convertible Promissory Notes with an aggregate principal face
amount of $1,722,222, (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of
993,590 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per
share and (iii) an aggregate of 200,926 shares of common stock.

In connection with the Agreements, the Company, Super Crypto
Mining, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the
Investors entered into security agreements, pursuant to which the
Company and Subsidiary granted to each Investor a security interest
in, among others, the Subsidiary's accounts, chattel paper,
documents, equipment, general intangibles, instruments and
inventory, and all proceeds, as set forth in the Security
Agreements.

                  Description of the 12% Secured
                   Convertible Promissory Notes
                 
Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,722,222
were sold for $1,550,000 and bear simple interest at 12% on the
principal amount.  The Convertible Notes are only convertible upon
the occurrence of an event of default.  Subject to certain
beneficial ownership limitations and an event of default having
occurred and not been cured, the Investors may convert the
principal amount of the Convertible Notes and accrued interest
earned thereon into shares of Common Stock at $0.70 per share.  The
conversion price of the Convertible Notes is subject to adjustment
for customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or
similar events.

Upon notice and other conditions, the Company will make
amortization payments in cash to the Investors until the
Convertible Notes are satisfied in full.  Each Amortization Payment
will consist of the quotient of the face amount of each Convertible
Note and accrued interest earned thereon divided by 6. The
Convertible Notes will be fully amortized on Oct. 16, 2018.

The Convertible Notes contain standard and customary events of
default including, but not limited to, failure to make payments
when due under the Convertible Notes, failure to comply with
certain covenants contained in the Convertible Notes, or bankruptcy
or insolvency of the Company.  Any principal amount or accrued
interest earned thereon which is not paid when due will bear

------------------------------------------------------
DPW Holdings, Inc., filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K reporting a net loss of
$10.89 million on $10 million of revenue for the year ended Dec.
31, 2017, compared to a net loss of $1.12 million on $7.59 million
of revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2016.

total stockholders' equity.

The report from the Company's independent accounting firm Marcum

the year ended Dec. 31, 2017, includes an explanatory paragraph
stating that the Company has a significant working capital
deficiency, has incurred significant losses and needs to raise
additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its
operations.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

As of Dec. 31, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$1,478,000 an accumulated deficit of $23,412,000 and a negative
working capital of $2,235,000.  The Company has incurred recurring

EMMAUS LIFE: Widens Net Loss to $33.4 Million in 2017
-----------------------------------------------------
Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc., filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K reporting a net loss of
$33.37 million on $524,447 of sales for the year ended Dec. 31,
2017, compared to a net loss of $21.17 million on $461,591 of sales
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2016.

As of Dec. 31, 2017, Emmaus Life had $123.84 million in total
assets, $109.55 million in total liabilities and $14.29 million in
total stockholders' equity.

The report from the Company's independent accounting firm
SingerLewak LLP on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2017, includes an explanatory paragraph stating
that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and
has a significant amount of notes payable and other obligations due
within twelve months.  This raises substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

"Based on our losses to date, anticipated future revenue and
operating expenses, debt repayment obligations and cash and cash
equivalents balance of $15.8 million as of December 31, 2017, we do
not have sufficient operating capital for our business without
raising additional capital," the Company stated in the SEC filing.
"We had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2017 of $140.1
million.  We anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses
for the foreseeable future as we incur expenses for the
commercialization of Endari, research costs for corneal cell sheets
using Cultured Autologous Oral Mucosal Epithelial Cell Sheet
("CAOMECS") technology and the expansion of corporate
infrastructure, including costs associated with being a public
reporting company.  We have previously relied on private equity
offerings, debt financings, and loans, including loans from related
parties.  As part of this effort, we have received various loans
from officers, stockholders and other investors as discussed below.
As of December 31, 2017, we had outstanding notes payable in an
aggregate principal amount of $48.7 million, consisting of $9.9
million of non-convertible promissory notes and $38.8 million of
convertible notes.  Of the $48.7 million aggregate principal amount
of notes outstanding as of December 31, 2017, approximately $23.2
million is either due on demand or will become due and payable
within the next twelve months.  Our failure to raise capital as and
when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition
and our ability to pursue our business strategies, including the
commercialization of Endari and the development in the United
States of CAOMECS-based cell sheet technology."

EP ENERGY: Widens Net Loss to $203 Million in 2017
--------------------------------------------------
EP Energy LLC filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its
Annual Report on Form 10-K reporting a net loss of $203 million on
$1.06 billion of total operating revenues for the year ended Dec.
31, 2017, compared to a net loss of $21 million on $767 million of
total operating revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2016.

As of Dec. 31, 2017, EP Energy had $4.89 billion in total assets,

million in member's equity.

As of Dec. 31, 2017, the Company's total debt was approximately

its corporate credit rating on Houston-based exploration and
production (E&P) company EP Energy LLC to 'CCC+' from 'SD'
(selective default).  The outlook is negative.  "The upgrade
reflects the announcement that EP has completed exchanges of its

EXCO RESOURCES: Wants to Maintain Plan Exclusivity Until Aug. 13
----------------------------------------------------------------
EXCO Resources Inc. and its debtor-affiliates ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas to extend the
period during which the Debtors have the exclusive right to file a
chapter 11 plan through and including Aug. 13, 2018, and the
deadline under which the Debtors have the exclusive right to
solicit a plan filed during the Filing Exclusivity Period through
and including Oct. 12, 2018.

Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have executed a soft landing
in chapter 11, obtained Court approval of important "first day" and
"second day" operational relief, filed schedules and statements of
financial affairs for all Debtors, and finalized a new long-term
business plan. The Debtors also dedicated substantial time and
resources to successfully litigating -- and ultimately resolving
objections to -- their ability to obtain debtor-in-possession
financing and reject burdensome contractual obligations.

Additionally, the Debtors have undertaken several key restructuring
initiatives, including:

      (a) New Business Plan. The Debtors, with the assistance of
their advisors, have prepared a long-term forecast through 2021
that is designed to maximize value while preserving capital.

      (b) Mortgage and Lien Analysis. Prior to the Petition Date,
the Debtors began a comprehensive analysis of the mortgages and
liens securing the prepetition secured creditors' claims. While the
majority of the work was completed prior to the Petition Date, the
Debtors finalized their analysis during the first few months of
these cases and shared their findings with the committee of
unsecured creditors.

      (c) Investigation. The Debtors continue to undertake their
own investigation and respond to numerous discovery requests with
respect to the Committee's investigation. To date, the Debtors have
collected, reviewed, and produced thousands of documents and are
working with the Committee to schedule depositions of multiple of
the Debtors' representatives. Additionally, the Debtors worked with
secured and unsecured creditors to extend the challenge period with
respect to the Debtors, the Committee, and the Committee members to
June 1, 2018, to provide those parties with additional time to
complete their investigations and engage in restructuring
discussions.

      (d) Shell Settlement. On February 22, 2018, the Court entered
an order authorizing the Debtors to unwind their joint venture in
the Appalachia region. Following the unwind, the Debtors' acreage
position in the area doubled from approximately 184,100 to 377,000
net acres and their production increased from approximately 28
MMcf/day to 56 MMcf/day.

      (e) Key Employee Retention Plan. On February 22, 2018, the
Court approved a key employee retention plan that provides for the
payment of quarterly cash bonus awards to the Debtors approximately
144 non-insider employees.

      (f) Contracts and Leases. The Debtors are evaluating whether
to restructure, replace, or terminate their existing leases and
contracts using the tools available in chapter 11. The Debtors have
already shed certain burdensome contracts and will continue to
assess their lease and contract portfolios.

      (g) Claims Process. On February 28, 2018, the Debtors filed
their schedules of assets and liabilities and statements of
financial affairs. Since the Petition Date, parties in interest
have filed more than 340 proofs of claim against the estates, and
parties are expected to continue to file proofs of claim ahead of
the April 16, 2018 general claims bar date. The Debtors continue to
evaluate claims that have been asserted, or that may be asserted,
against their estates.

      (h) Sale Process. Immediately following the Petition Date,
the Debtors, with the assistance of their advisors, initiated a
marketing process for their assets. In connection with that
process, the Debtors reached out to over 275 potential buyers,
executed approximately 100 non-disclosure agreements, and received
25 non-binding indications of interest. Second round binding bids
currently are due on April 30, 2018. After receiving second round
bids, the Debtors will determine whether to move forward with the
sale process, including entering into one or more stalking horse
purchase agreements, seeking Court approval of bidding procedures,
conducting a live auction (if necessary), and seeking a hearing for
approval of a sale order(s).

While the Debtors have made significant progress to date,
additional work remains to be done. The Debtors are redoubling
their efforts to maximize stakeholder value by pursuing a
dual-track restructuring process, including marketing their assets
and ongoing efforts to negotiate the terms of a restructuring
transaction with their key creditor constituencies. Consequently,
the Debtors likely require significant additional time to complete
their restructuring process.

The Debtors seek to maintain exclusivity so parties with competing
interests do not impede the Debtors' efforts to obtain stakeholder
support for a sale of some or all of the Debtors' assets, a balance
sheet restructuring, or some combination thereof.

At this time and in order to promote consensus among their creditor
constituencies, the Debtors are only requesting a 90-day extension
of the Exclusivity Periods to file and solicit approval of a
chapter 11 plan so that they may continue to diligently pursue and
effectuate a value-maximizing resolution to these chapter 11
cases.

The Debtors believe that a 90-day extension of the Exclusivity
Periods will allow the Debtors to focus on continuing to advance
the sale process, operate their business in the ordinary course,
negotiate a balance sheet restructuring transaction, and avoid the
costly disruption and uncertainty that would result if exclusivity
was denied and multiple parties were able to propose competing
plans.

Likewise, the fact that these cases remain at an early stage in the
chapter 11 process further supports the requested extensions. This
request for an extension of the Exclusivity Periods is the Debtors'
first such request and comes approximately 90 days after the
Petition Date.

FANSTEEL INC: Wellman Dynamics Buying Lorimor Property for $35K
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fansteel, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Iowa to authorize the sale of an improved real estate
and buildings on an irregular shaped parcel consisting of 4.16
acres along the east side of US 169 in Lorimor, Iowa, locally known
as 601 US 169, Lorimor, Iowa, and legally described as a tract of
land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 11, Township 73 North,
Range 28 West of the 5th P.M., located in Union County, Iowa, to
Wellman Dynamics Corp. ("WDC") for $35,000.

The Debtor holds title to the property.  The property includes a
one story 19,640 square foot, warehouse type building, used to
store x-ray films that are owned solely by WDC.  WDC is the sole
occupant of the subject real property, and does not store any
property related to or owned by Fansteel.

WDC's initial use and possession of this property began under a
lease agreement that started on April 1, 2008, and was set to
expire on Nov. 30, 2020 (entered into between WDC and Lorimor
Community Development Corp.).  Under said Lease Agreement, WDC had
the option of purchasing the property for $155,000 during the first
five year period, with credit given for rent less a 2% finance fee.
After the first five year period, the option price increased to
$210,000 plus 2% interest.  WDC paid rent on the property to
Lorimor until 2013.  In 2013, Lorimor sold the subject property to
the Debtor in its capacity as the parent company of WDC (ostensibly
for the benefit of WDC, and not Fansteel).

Currently, there are two tax sale liens encumbering the subject
property going back to the 2013 taxes.  On June 3, 2015, Fansteel
was notified of their right of redemption, stemming from the
failure to pay the delinquent property taxes.  It had 90 days from
the date of notice to exercise its right of redemption or
relinquish all its right, title, and interest in the property.

The Debtor and WDC have both agreed to establish the fair market
value of the subject Real Property based on an appraisal prepared
by Hilco Real Estate Appraisal.  Based on that appraisal, the
Debtor and WDC have agreed that the fair market value of the
subject Real Estate (for purposes of the proposed sale transaction)
will be $155,000.  

Fansteel proposes to sell or otherwise transfer the subject Real
Estate to WDC.  WDC filed its own Voluntary Petition for Chapter 11
Bankruptcy on Sept. 13, 2016.  On March 12, 2018, the Bankruptcy
Court entered its Sale Order, approving the sale by the Debtors of
certain assets of WDC to TCTM Financial FS, LLC, pursuant to the
terms of the final approved Asset Purchase Agreement.

The Debtor and WDC are asking Court approval of the sale or
transfer of Real Estate to WDC for $35,000, an amount greater than
the aggregate value of all liens on such property, free and clear
of all liens, encumbrances, claims and interests.  As part of this
sale or transfer, WDC agrees to the forgiveness of $120,000 of
post-petition intercompany advances made by WDC to Fansteel.  The
sale will be included in the Sale of Acquired Assets of the Debtor
Outside the Ordinary Course of Business Free and Clear of Liens,
Claims & Encumbrances as agreed to by WDC and TCTM.

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

    http://bankrupt.com/misc/Fansteel_Inc_1225_Sales.pdf

In the instant case, the proposed Sale constitutes a sound exercise
of the Debtor's business judgment and has been proposed in good
faith.  A sale of the Real Estate will aid in minimizing the
expenses of its estate, resulting in greater distribution to
creditors.  The Debtor believes the Motion and the transaction
contemplated thereby is in the best interests of the bankruptcy
estate and in the best interests of all other interested parties in
the Chapter 11 case.

Time is of the essence in approving and closing the Sale, and any
unnecessary delay in closing the Sale could result in the collapse
of the Sale.  Accordingly, the Debtor asks the Court to waive the
14-day period staying any order to sell or assign property of the
estate imposed by Bankruptcy Rules 6004(h) and 6006(d).

basis.

Wellman Dynamics Corporation contributed 67% of Fansteel's sales.
The rest of the sales are generated from Intercast, a division of
Fansteel, and other non-debtor subsidiaries.

Fansteel, Wellman Dynamics, and Wellman Dynamics Machinery &
Assembly, Inc., filed Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. S.D. Iowa Case
Nos. 16-01823, 16-01825 and 16-01827) on Sept. 13, 2016.  The
petitions were signed by Jim Mahoney, CEO.  The cases are assigned
to Judge Anita L. Shodeen.  The Debtors disclosed total assets of
$32.9 million and total debt of $41.97 million.

The companies tapped Jeffrey D. Goetz, Esq., and Krystal R.

Goode, P.C., as counsel.

In March 2017, the U.S. trustee announced that the unsecured
creditors' committee of Fansteel would no longer serve as the
official committee in its case and that it would be reconstituted

FIDELITY & GUARANTY: Moody's Rates New $550MM Unsec. Debt 'Ba2'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a Ba2 debt rating to the
anticipated issuance of $550 million of senior unsecured debt by
Fidelity & Guaranty Life Holdings, Inc. (FGLH). FGLH expects to use
the net proceeds to repay $135 million of borrowings outstanding
under its revolving credit facility, redeem in full the $300
million 6.375% Senior Notes due 2021, and for general corporate
purposes, which may include capital contributions to the insurance
operating companies. The notes will be fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by FGLH's direct parent, FGL US Holdings, Inc. (unrated)
and FGLH's indirect parent, CF Bermuda Holdings Limited (CF
Bermuda; LT issuer rating Ba2 stable). The outlook on FGLH is
stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The Ba2 debt rating and stable outlook reflects FGLH's primary
operating company, Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Company's
(FGLIC, IFS rating Baa2 stable) growing market position, especially
in the fixed indexed annuity (FIA) space, as well as its good
profitability, and higher investment yield from portfolio
repositioning efforts. The life operating company has been able to
balance the healthy growth of its FIA business while expanding its
footprint in the indexed universal life (IUL) insurance market.

The rating agency noted that these strengths are offset by the
company's concentration of sales in FIAs, along with the associated
hedging and asset liability management challenges. FGLIC's sales
are likely to continue to be highly concentrated in annuity
products in the near-term. Additionally, the company's primary
distribution channel is via independent marketing organizations
(IMOs) which could be impacted by the Department of Labor's new
fiduciary rules, notwithstanding the potential for alterations or
rescission.

The rating agency expects FGLH's ultimate parent, FGL Holdings (FG;
LT issuer rating Ba3 stable) to maintain financial leverage below
25% prospectively as well as appropriate capital levels. The rating
agency stated that it will evaluate FG's efforts to accelerate
growth to ensure that the company's actions remain in line with the
current ratings. In addition, Moody's expects the recent Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act will make it less beneficial to cede directly sold
business from its US operations to F&G Re Ltd. (IFS rating Baa2
stable), its Bermuda affiliate.

RATING DRIVERS

According to Moody's, the following could lead to an upgrade of
FGLIC and FGLH's ratings: 1) sustained statutory return on capital
exceeding 6%; and 2) more balanced growth in profitably priced new
FIA business and life insurance. Conversely, the following factors
could result in a downgrade of the ratings: 1) increased investment
risk from more aggressive asset allocations; 2) adjusted financial
leverage above 25%; 3) sustained statutory return on capital less
than 6%; 4) significant use of reinsurance to finance growth; or 5)
more aggressive capital actions or the consolidated NAIC RBC ratio
(company action level) declining below 400%.

The following ratings were assigned:

Fidelity & Guaranty Life Holdings, Inc. -- senior unsecured debt
rating at Ba2.

FGL Holdings is an insurance holding company headquartered in the
Cayman Islands. As of December 31, 2017, FGL Holdings reported
total assets of about $29.9 billion and shareholders' equity of
approximately $2.0 billion.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Life
Insurers published in April 2016.

GNC HOLDINGS: Incurs $148.9 Million Net Loss in 2017
----------------------------------------------------
GNC Holdings, Inc., filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K reporting a net loss of
$148.85 million on $2.45 billion of revenue for the year ended Dec.
31, 2017, compared to a net loss of $286.25 million on $2.54
billion of revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2016.

As of Dec. 31, 2017, GNC Holdings had $1.51 billion in total
assets, $1.67 billion in total liabilities and a total
stockholders' deficit of $161.99 million.

GNC Holdings stated, "We may be unable to generate sufficient cash
flow from operations or to obtain future borrowings under our
credit facilities or otherwise in an amount sufficient to enable us
to pay our debt or to fund our other liquidity needs.  In addition,
because we conduct our operations through our operating
subsidiaries, we depend on those entities for dividends and other
payments to generate the funds necessary to meet our financial
obligations, including payments on our debt.  Under certain
circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions, as well as the
financial condition and operating requirements of our subsidiaries,
may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries.  If we
do not have sufficient liquidity, we may need to refinance or
restructure all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity,
sell assets or borrow more money, which we may not be able to do on
terms satisfactory to us or at all.  In addition, any refinancing
could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with
more onerous covenants which could further restrict our business
operations."

                 Long-Term Debt/Interest Expense

As of Dec. 31, 2017, the Company had principal of $1,131.2 million
outstanding under its Term Loan Facility with an original maturity
date of March 2019.  After the effectiveness of the Amendment to
its Senior Credit Facility, the amount due in March 2019 under the
Term Loan Facility is now $151.9 million.  The Company is also
required under the Amendment to make an excess cash flow payment in
March 2019, which could be material, based on the projected
Consolidated Net First Lien Leverage Ratio for the year ending Dec.
31, 2018.

The Company expects to close the Securities Purchase Agreement in
the second half of 2018, which will result in approximately $300
million of aggregate proceeds.  Under the Amendment, $100.0 million
of the net proceeds from the Securities Purchase Agreement are
required to be utilized to pay the Term Loan Facility due March
2021.  The remaining net proceeds, after deducting legal and
advisory fees, would be available to satisfy the $151.9 million due
under the Term Loan Facility in March 2019.  However, there is no
assurance that the Securities Purchase Agreement will close prior
to March 2019 when the obligation is due.

In the event that Securities Purchase Agreement doesn't close,
management has concluded that the Company will have the ability to
satisfy the $151.9 million Term Loan Facility and the excess cash
flow payments due in March 2019 with projected cash on hand and
amounts available under the new $100 million asset-backed Revolving
Credit Facility.  If actual results are below the Company's
projections by an amount greater than what is required to satisfy
these obligations, management has the ability to reduce certain
discretionary payments and will consider certain sales, as
necessary, to maximize cash available.

Management has concluded that it is probable the Company will have
sufficient cash on hand and available liquidity to satisfy the
obligations that are due in March 2019.

GOLDEN EAGLE RETAIL: Moody's Hikes Corp. Family Rating to Ba3
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has upgraded Golden Eagle Retail Group
Ltd's corporate family rating (CFR) to Ba3 from B1.

Moody's has also upgraded Golden Eagle's senior unsecured debt
ratings to B1 from B2.

The outlook on the ratings is positive.

RATINGS RATIONALE

"The upgrade of Golden Eagle's ratings and positive ratings outlook
reflect our expectation that the company will continue to improve
its credit profile because of a stabilized retail environment,
supported by its continued revenue growth, stable profitability and
deleveraging," says Danny Chan, a Moody's Analyst.

"The change in ratings and outlook also consider the significantly
reduced refinancing risk and improvement in the company's debt
maturity profile, following the successful refinancing of the
RMB4.9 billion offshore syndicated loan due April 2018," adds Chan,
who is also Moody's Lead Analyst for Golden Eagle.

Moody's expects that Golden Eagle's gross sales proceeds (GSP) will
grow by about 10% over the next 12-18 months, supported by an
increased gross floor area (GFA), growing contribution from
property sales and the stable operating conditions in the retail
industry in China. Such solid growth will continue to lift the
company's retail scale and profits.

Golden Eagle's total GFA grew to 2.5 million square meters at the
end of 2017 -- after the opening of four new lifestyle centers
during the year -- representing a 41% increase in total GFA when
compared with 2015. Golden Eagle has also continued investing to
cultivate new revenue sources. And, it has enhanced the customer
experience and user stickiness of its platform.

The increased operating floor area and new business initiatives
will help the company to sustain a moderate revenue and EBITDA
growth of about 20% and 10% respectively over the next 12 months.
In particular, Golden Eagle should generate EBITDA of more than
RMB2.5 billion per annum over the next 12-18 months, of which,
about RMB2.1 billion will be attributable to its core retail
activities.

Moody's also expects that Golden Eagle will continue to dispose of
its property inventories, and will likely generate more than
RMB800-1000 million in property development-related revenues per
annum over the next two years. The growing contribution of property
income over the next 2-3 years will help the company to weather any
potential headwind in the retail business.

Golden Eagle has been generating about RMB750 million of property
revenue over the last two years. At the end of 2017, Golden Eagle
had completed property-held-for-sales of RMB1.3 billion.

Moody's points out that typically, the launch of a new store would
dampen profit margins for the first few quarters, because it takes
time to optimize the operation and generate yield levels comparable
to matured stores.

Nevertheless, Moody's expects that the company's increased level of
property sales over the next 2 years will help offset the lower
profitability of its newly opened stores. As a result, its adjusted
EBITDA/GSP will remain stable at about 16%-17% over the same
period, similar to 17.1% in 2017.

Golden Eagle has also demonstrated a track record of deleveraging
as a result of steady EBITDA growth, despite the industry
volatility. Ongoing business expansion is supported by EBITDA
growth, with debt levels remaining flat.

Golden Eagle' debt leverage -- in terms of adjusted debt/EBITDA --
should improve to about 3.5x over the next 24 months from 4.7x in
2015; retained cash flow (RCF) to net debt should remain at above
20% over the corresponding period. This level of leverage is strong
for its Ba3 rating. Such resilience provides a buffer against the
cyclical nature of its retail business.

On April 12, 2018, Golden Eagle announced that its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Golden Eagle International Trading Limited, had entered
into a new syndicated loan agreement on 12 April 2018. The new
facility, together with the group's internal resources, will be
used to refinance the entire dual-currency three-year term loan
facility in the outstanding principal amounts of USD603 million and
HKD1.015 billion, which will be repaid in full on 16 April 2018.

Upon the refinancing, Golden Eagle's liquid resources far exceeded
its planned capital investment, while the outstanding borrowings
were all long term in nature. The company reported operating cash
flow of around RMB3.1 billion in 2017 and cash on hand of RMB6.5
billion, including fixed deposits of RMB0.7 billion.

In addition, Golden Eagle held a portfolio of retail assets
totaling RMB2.8 billion in book value as of the end of 2017. These
resources can serve as back-up liquidity.

Golden Eagle's Ba3 CFR continues to be supported by its strong
market position in the affluent Jiangsu Province, the benefits of
its concessionaire model, and its self-owned properties.

Golden Eagle's ratings also reflect its small scale, high level of
geographic concentration, the intense competition that it faces in
the retail industry, and the property development risk that it
faces.

The positive ratings outlook reflects Moody's expectations that
over the next 12-18 months, Golden Eagle's improved credit profile
will be sustained on the back of revenue growth and improved
earnings; and the pursuit of a prudent financial policy and
management, as its business expands.

The ratings could be upgraded if the company: (1) continues to
improve its revenue and earnings; (2) maintains a disciplined
acquisition and shareholder return policy; and (3) improves its
debt leverage, such that adjusted debt/EBITDA falls below 3.5x-4.0x
and adjusted RCF/net debt remains solidly above 20%, all on a
sustained basis

The ratings outlook could return to stable if: (1) Golden Eagle
fails to execute its property sales as scheduled; (2) its credit
metrics weaken such that adjusted debt/EBITDA is above 4.0x-4.5x or
its adjusted RCF/net debt falls below 10%-15%; (3) the company's
profitability or cash flow and/or its liquidity position
deteriorate; or (3) it aggressively grows its property development
business or pursues material acquisitions through debt.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Retail Industry
published in October 2015.

Golden Eagle Retail Group Ltd is one of the largest department
store operators in China. Based in Nanjing, the company is
strategically positioned in second- and third-tier Chinese cities,
catering to mid- to high-end customers.

At December 31, 2017, Golden Eagle operated 32 stores, including 15
lifestyle centers, in the Jiangsu, Anhui, Shaanxi, Yunnan and
Shanghai regions.


GRAND VIEW FINANCIAL: Seeks August 14 Exclusivity Period Extension
------------------------------------------------------------------
Grand View Financial, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Central District of California to extend the exclusivity periods
for the Debtor to file a plan and obtain acceptance thereof for 120
days from April 16, 2018 and June 13, 2018, respectively, to Aug.
14, 2018 and Oct. 11, 2018, respectively.

The Debtor believes that good cause exists to extend the
exclusivity periods because, among other things:

     (1) any plan would be funded from the sale of properties in
which the Debtor has an interest; however, in most instances, the
Debtor needs to eliminate claims allegedly secured by a subject
property and related deeds of trust allegedly securing the claims
before the Debtor can proceed to sale; the Debtor has initiated and
will continue to initiate actions to clear such claims and deeds of
trust and the Debtor is already working to sell two properties and
will seek to sell others in the near future; therefore, it makes
sense to allow the Debtor to proceed with its litigation and
certain property sales, so the Debtor can ascertain the success of
such litigation and property sales and, thus, the funds that may be
realized from the sale of properties to fund a plan;

     (2) the general claims bar date will not pass until May 5,
2018 and, therefore, the Debtor will not be able to ascertain the
full extent of claims to be treated under its plan until that time;
accordingly, it makes sense to allow the bar date to pass before
requiring the Debtor to prepare and file a disclosure statement and
plan,

     (3) this is only the Debtor's second request for an extension
of the exclusivity periods, and

     (4) the Debtor is current on all material reporting
requirements under the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules and
Guidelines of the Office of the United States Trustee.

                   About Grand View Financial

Grand View Financial LLC is a Wyoming limited liability company,
which is in the business of acquiring distressed real property.
Grand View Financial was formed in 2015.

GROM SOCIAL: Incurs $6 Million Net Loss in 2017
-----------------------------------------------
Grom Social Enterprises, Inc., filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K reporting a net
loss of $6.04 million on $7.69 million of sales for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2017, compared to a net loss of $10.71 million on $3.81
million of sales for the year ended Dec. 31, 2016.

As of Dec. 31, 2017, Grom Social had $19.04 million in total
assets, $11.94 million in total liabilities and $7.10 million i
total stockholders' equity.

The report from the Company's independent accounting firm B F
Borgers CPA PC, on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2017, includes an explanatory paragraph stating
that the Company incurred recurring losses from operations, has net
current liabilities and an accumulated deficit that raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.

At Dec. 31, 2017, the Company had $436,869 in cash.

During the year ended Dec. 31, 2017, net cash used in operating
activities was $1,410,015 compared to net cash used of $548,748
during the same period in 2016.  The increase of $861,267 in net
cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to an
increase in 2017 in the net loss from operations excluding non-cash
stock option expense of approximately $755,000, offset by an
increase of approximately $856,000 in common stock issued for fees
and services, and an increase of $362,500 in the earnout
consideration realized in the acquisition of a business; compared
to the 2016 period.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased from $2,752,868
during the year ended Dec. 30, 2016 to $562,322 during the year
ended Dec. 30, 2017, a decrease of $2,190,546.  The decrease is
primarily attributable to acquisition activity in 2016 where the
Company invested $2,475,576 net of cash acquired with the business
to acquire TD Holdings, offset by an increase in the purchase of
fixed assets of approximately $300,000 in 2017.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,989,100 for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2017 compared to $3,796,676 for the same period
ended Dec. 31, 2016.  The decrease in net cash provided by
financing activities of $1,807,576 is primarily due to a reduction
of approximately $2,164,500 in the issuance of convertible
debenture from 2016 to 2017.

"We have incurred annual losses since inception and expect we may
incur additional losses in future periods.  Additionally, as of
December 31, 2017, excluding related party payables to our officers
and principal shareholders which are not anticipated to be paid for
the foreseeable future, we had a working capital deficit of
$1,437,183.

"We currently have a monthly consolidated cash operating loss of
approximately $150,000, or approximately $1,800,000.  In order to
fund our operations, we believe we will be required to raise
approximately $2,000,000.  As of the date of this Annual Report we
have no commitment from any investment banker or other traditional
funding sources and, while we have had discussions with various
potential funding sources, we have no definitive agreement with any
third party to provide us with financing, either debt or equity.
The failure to obtain the financing necessary to allow us to
continue to implement our business plan will have a significant
negative impact on our anticipated results of operations.

"We expect to reduce our monthly cash operating loss through
improved profitability.  There can be no assurance we will be
successful.  Historically we have successfully funded our losses
through equity issuances, debt issuance and through officer loans.
We expect to be able to continue to fund our operating losses in a
similar manner and believe that we can secure capital on reasonable
terms although there can be no assurances," the Company stated in
the SEC filing.

GTT COMMUNICATIONS: Moody's Confirms B2 Corp. Family Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has confirmed GTT Communications, Inc.'s
B2 corporate family rating (CFR) in advance of the expected closing
of its acquisition of Interoute Communications Holdings SA
(Interoute).

To finance the acquisition as well as to repay existing debt, GTT
will raise approximately $2.7 billion of new debt and contribute
$425 million of equity. The company has already raised significant
equity for the acquisition, and has indicated a willingness to
consider additional equity to further reduce leverage, which is a
contributing factor in confirming the company's ratings.

Moody's has also confirmed the company's B2-PD probability of
default rating (PDR), B1 (LGD3) senior secured rating, and Caa1
(LGD5) unsecured rating. In connection with the deal financing,
Moody's has assigned B1 (LGD3) to the company's new revolving
credit facility, USD denominated term loan, and Euro denominated
term loan issued by GTT Communications BV. Additionally, Moody's
has assigned Caa1 (LGD5) to GTT's new unsecured notes. The
company's speculative grade liquidity (SGL) rating is unchanged at
SGL-2, and the outlook is stable. The ratings are contingent upon
Moody's review of final documentation and no material change in the
terms and conditions of the debt as advised to Moody's. These
actions conclude the review for downgrade that was initiated on
February 26, 2018.

In Moody's opinion, the addition of Interoute improves GTT's scale
and market position, and increases its asset coverage. These
factors contribute to increased leverage tolerance for GTT. As
such, Moody's will change its ratings downgrade trigger for GTT's
B2 rating to 5.5x debt/EBITDA (Moody's adjusted) from the prior
level of 5x. Although GTT's leverage is expected to remain above
Moody's new limit of 5.5x (Moody's adjusted) through 2019, EBITDA
growth as a result of network and SG&A synergies as well as sales
growth should bring leverage back below the limit 12 to 18 months
after the completion of business integration.

Assignments:

Issuer: GTT Communications BV

Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Assigned B1 (LGD3)

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: GTT Communications, Inc.

Outlook, Changed To Stable From Rating Under Review

RATINGS RATIONALE

GTT, pro forma for the Interoute acquisition, benefits from an
improved scale and market position, which is expected to increase
revenue growth potential within its target market of international
network services. Enhanced geographic diversity and a high degree
of recurring revenue partially offset elevated credit risk
following the transaction. While the company's low capital spending
and improving margin profile result in positive free cash flow,
cash generation is pressured due to cash outflows related to
continuous acquisition activity and related integration costs.
Given the size of Interoute, integration will take approximately
one year, or about twice as long as GTT's typical integration
process. GTT will also continue to grow through tuck-in
acquisitions simultaneously with this major integration of
Interoute. This consistently high acquisition pace strains cash
flows and taxes management resources, which could negatively impact
GTT's strategic focus and organic growth.

GTT is challenged by its small scale and low asset coverage
relative to its debt load. The company has made significant
improvements mitigating these risks via the Hibernia and Interoute
purchases, which benefit from owned fiber assets. However, we
believe the assets acquired in the Interoute transaction are more
commodity-like and have less market value than last mile fiber
connections. While GTT has demonstrated consistent success to date
making relatively small, frequent, and quickly credit accretive
acquisitions, this strategy has contributed to sustained high
leverage. GTT's ability to successfully integrate a larger
acquisition will likely be difficult, and will magnify the
operational stresses associated with its persistent and
aggressively debt-funded acquisition strategy. Further, frequent
use of M&A signals reliance on the markets to fund growth that
reduces visibility into the rate of organic growth.

GTT's business model employs an architecture with mostly leased
infrastructure that results in low capital intensity but could
expose the company to margin pressure if end-user pricing and
network leasing cost trends diverge over time. Given this low
capital intensity strategy, Moody's believes GTT currently has
lower leverage tolerance than facilities-based carriers. Moody's
expects GTT to have good liquidity over the next 12 months and
expects the company to have approximately $90 million of cash on
the balance sheet and an undrawn $200 million revolving credit
facility following the close of the transaction. Moody's expects
GTT to draw on the credit facility opportunistically to fund small,
tuck-in acquisitions. The company's revolver is subject to a
maximum consolidated net secured leverage ratio, springing when
usage of the facility exceeds 30%. We expect GTT will maintain
ample cushion on the maximum senior secured leverage covenant
should the covenant be tested.

GTT's stable outlook reflects the expectation of a successful
integration of the Interoute business and realization of
significant synergies within 12 months after deal close. We expect
the company to maintain positive free cash flow and for GTT's
leverage to trend towards 5.5x (Moody's adjusted) through 2019 and
return within the range of B2 rating in 2020.

The B2 rating could be upgraded if debt/EBITDA falls below 4.5x
(Moody's adjusted) and free cash flow to debt exceeds 10% on a
sustained basis. The rating could be downgraded if liquidity
becomes strained, if free cash flow is negative, if leverage is not
on track to decline towards 5.5x (Moody's adjusted), or if there
are operational or other difficulties in managing the integration
of Interoute.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was
Telecommunications Service Providers published in January 2017.

Based in McLean, VA, GTT is a multinational Tier 1 internet service
provider offering wide area networking, internet, managed services
and voice services. The company operates a top five ranked global
IP (internet protocol) backbone with over 300 points-of-presence
which connects enterprise and carrier clients to any location in
the world and any application in the cloud. The company generated
$828 million in revenue in 2017.


GUITAR CENTER: S&P Hikes CCR to 'CCC+' on Completed Exchange Offer
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its corporate credit rating on operating
subsidiary and borrower Guitar Center Inc. to 'CCC+' from 'SD'. S&P
also raised the corporate rating on the parent, Guitar Center
Holdings Inc. to 'CCC+' from 'CC'. The outlook is negative.

S&P said, "At the same time, we assigned our 'CCC+' issue-level
rating and '3' recovery rating to the company's $635 million 9.5%
senior secured notes due Oct. 21, 2021. The '3' recovery rating
indicates our expectation that lenders will receive meaningful
recovery (50%-70%; rounded estimate 60%) in the event of a payment
default.

"We assigned our 'CCC-' issue-level rating and '6' recovery rating
to the company's $318 million 5% Cash/8% PIK senior unsecured notes
due April 15, 2022. The '6' recovery rating indicates our
expectation for negligible (0%-10%; rounded estimate: 0%) recovery
in the event of default.

"We also raised the issue-level rating on the remaining portion
(roughly $7 million) of the existing unsecured notes due April 15,
2020, to 'CCC-' from 'D'. The '6' recovery ratings is unchanged. We
raised the issue-level rating on the company's $375 million
asset-based lending (ABL) revolver to 'B' from 'CCC+' and removed
it from CreditWatch Positive where it was placed on March 12, 2018,
with a '1' recovery rating. We subsequently withdrew the ratings on
this debt at the issuer's request."

The upgrade follows the completed refinancing of the senior secured
notes and restructuring of the unsecured notes. Guitar Center was
able to extend debt maturities by two years. The closest maturity
is now 2021 when the secured notes become due. S&P said, "We don't
envision a specific default scenario over the next 12 months, but
operating execution risks will remain. We believe the viability of
the company's capital structure will depend on management's ability
to execute its strategic initiatives, which include expanding
higher margin service offerings, growing Music & Arts, and refining
its marketing and merchandising strategy to meaningfully grow
profits over the next two to three years to ensure repayment of
more than $1 billion of debt at par. The company will need to
increase EBITDA in the high single digit to low double digit
percentage range over the next three years, ahead of its 2021 debt
maturity. We also believe the company will be subject to
macroeconomic risks and will continue to face challenges in retail
sector." The company began seeing benefits from some of its
strategic initiatives; same-store sales was positive during the
past two quarters of fiscal 2017, from negative trends over the
prior two years. Still, there is some uncertainty whether these
trends are sustainable.

The negative outlook on Guitar Center reflects the longer-term risk
that the company will need to meaningfully grow sales and profits
over the next two years ahead of the PIK debt and maturities and
that credit metrics will remain weak over the next 12 months.

S&P said, "We could lower the ratings if operating trends do not
improve and liquidity deteriorates such that we think the capital
structure is unsustainable and a further debt restructuring is
inevitable.

"Over the next 12 months we could consider raising the rating if
performance substantially improves from management's strategic
initiatives. This would result in a greater contribution from
higher margin services revenues, leading us to believe that
positive same store sales are sustainable and healthy cash flow
generation will be consistent. This would lead to the adjusted
leverage around 9x (mid 5x excluding the preferred stock) and
adjusted fixed-charge coverage ratio improving to the high-1x area
from 1.2x."


HOGAR CARINO: Unsecureds to Recoup 5% Over 5 Years Under Plan

HUNTSMAN INT'L: Moody's Alters Outlook to Pos. & Affirms Ba1 CFR
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the Ba1 Corporate Family Ratings
of Huntsman Corporation and Huntsman International LLC and changed
the outlook to positive from stable, due to the significant
reduction in debt, and management's statements regarding the
importance of maintaining an investment grade balance sheet with
unadjusted net leverage of 2.0x or less. Moody's also upgraded
Huntsman International's secured credit facility to Baa2 from Baa3,
its unsecured debt rating to Ba1 from Ba2 and affirmed its
Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating of SGL-1.

"The positive outlook reflects the substantial amount of debt
reduced in 2017, management's statements regarding the importance
of maintaining low leverage going forward, and the generation of
meaningful free cash flow," stated John Rogers, Senior Vice
President at Moody's and lead analyst for Huntsman. "If Huntsman
can continue to grow earnings and cash flow while maintaining low
financial leverage, its ratings could be upgraded."

The following rating actions were taken:

RATINGS RATIONALE

The affirmation of Huntsman's Corporate Family Rating (CFR)
reflects the rapid improvement in the company's credit profile over
the past 18 months from net leverage of over 5x to 2.7x leverage at
the end of 2017. This follows more than two decades with a more
highly levered balance sheet that supported a number of significant
acquisitions. The CEO, Peter Huntsman, has been unwavering in his
statements on maintaining unadjusted leverage of 2x or less and the
desire to undertake limited share repurchases, despite the
potential for sizable proceeds from the sale of its shares in
Venator Materials PLC.

In 2017, Huntsman repaid $1.9 billion in balance sheet debt with
free cash flow and proceeds from the sale of stock in Venator
Materials PLC. Huntsman's remaining 53% equity stake in Venator is
valued at approximately $1 billion providing the company with
substantial flexibility to pursue additional bolt-on acquisitions.

Over the past few years, Huntsman has also improved the underlying
financial performance of its four business segments despite some
volatility due to commodity prices (MTBE and MDI). The company's
growth strategy for the Polyurethanes and Advanced Material
segments should provide the opportunity to generate higher, and
relatively consistent, growth while expanding margins over time.
The Performance Products business remains a solid cash flow
generator and the turnaround in the Textile Effects business has
taken a modest drag on earnings to a consistent generator of
profits at reasonable margins. The ability to generate solid top
line growth and potentially expand margins indicates that Huntsman
should be able to maintain its current capital structure and not
require a large acquisition to provide reasonable shareholder
returns. Additionally, the company's growth strategy should reduce
capital spending over time and allow the generation of more
consistent free cash flow.

As of December 31, 2017, Huntsman's gross leverage was 2.7x and net
leverage was 2.2x. Retained Cash Flow/Debt was 26%. These are
solidly investment grade metrics and could support an investment
grade rating. Given the substantial improvement in financial
metrics in 2017, combined with the company's significant financial
flexibility due to the Venator shares, Moody's would like to see
the company maintain its current capital structure for a while,
prior to moving across the investment grade threshold.

Huntsman's SGL-1 Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating reflects an
elevated cash balance (as of December 31, 2017, it had over $700
million of cash on its balance sheet), the ability to generate
$300-400 million in free cash flow on a consistent basis and access
to upwards of $800 in committed facilities. While the SGL analysis
does not include additional proceeds from Venator stock sales,
Moody's believes they could cause cash balances to be higher than
current levels over the next year.

The positive outlook reflects expectations that Huntsman will
continue to pursue bolt-on acquisitions and monetize its stake in
Venator while maintaining adjusted leverage below 3x and net
leverage below 2.5x. The positive outlook does not include the
expectation for further debt reduction. Huntsman's rating could be
upgraded, if it does not undertake over $1billion of share buybacks
in 2018, and leverage remains below 3.0x. The upgrade would also be
contingent on Huntsman moving to an unsecured credit facility.
While large acquisitions of more than $1 billion could slow the
path to investment grade, it would depend on the valuation multiple
and the strategic rationale for the transaction. A downgrade is
unlikely at this time due to the sizable cash balance and its
ability to monetize the Venator shares. However, if Moody's
adjusted leverage remains above 3.0x and Retained Cash Flow/Debt
falls below 20% for a sustained period or it pursues a large debt
financed acquisition, Huntsman's rating could be lowered.

Huntsman Corporation (Huntsman) is a global manufacturer of
specialty, differentiated and commodity chemicals and resins.
Huntsman's products are used in a wide range of applications,
including adhesives, aerospace composites, automotive &
construction products, durable and non-durable consumer products,
electronics, medical, packaging, paints and coatings, refining and
synthetic fibers. Huntsman has revenues of roughly $8 billion.
Huntsman International LLC (HI) is the primary issuer of debt.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Chemical
Industry published in January 2018.


ICAGEN INC: Incurs $6.11 Million Net Loss in 2017
-------------------------------------------------
Icagen, Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its
Annual Report on Form 10-K reporting a net loss of $6.11 million on
$22.65 million of sales for the year ended Dec. 31, 2017, compared
to a net loss of $5.50 million on $11.99 million of sales for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2016.

As of Dec. 31, 2017, Icagen had $14.63 million in total assets
$23.30 million in total liabilities and a total stockholders'
deficit of $8.66 million.

"We have a history of annual losses from operations since inception
and we have primarily funded our operations through sales of our
unregistered equity securities and cash flows generated from
government contracts and grants and more recently from commercial
customers, subsidy income and the settlement of a lawsuit.  We are
generating substantially all of our revenues from commercial
customers, and in the past from subsidy revenue, however, we
continue to experience losses and will need to raise additional
funds to meet our working capital requirements, despite the outcome
of settlement agreements we have entered into, our lawsuits could
have a significant impact on our financial position.  We believe
that our existing cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient
to meet our anticipated cash needs for the next twelve months.  To
date, we have never generated sufficient cash from operations to
pay our operating expenses.  To date, we have received $23.5
million from the MSA with Sanofi from services provided by Icagen-T
for Sanofi and operating expense contributions paid by Sanofi.  The
remaining amount of $8.5 million we expect to receive from the
Sanofi MSA is not sufficient to cover the operating expenses of the
Tucson Facility.  In addition, we expect our expenses to increase
as our operations expand and our expenses may continue to exceed
such revenue.  We will need to generate additional revenue from
operations and/or obtain additional financing to pursue our
business strategy, to respond to new competitive pressures or to
take advantage of opportunities that may arise.  These factors
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern," the Company stated in the SEC filing.

The report from the Company's independent accounting firm RBSM LLP
on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended Dec.
31, 2017, includes an explanatory paragraph stating that the
Company has incurred recurring operating losses which has resulted
in an accumulated deficit of approximately $33.8 million at
Dec. 31, 2017.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Further, SBN says the Disclosure Statement should be clarified to
prohibit distributions to the Equity Holders of the Debtor until
non-insider creditors are paid in full, should identify the

disclose post confirmation compensation to the Debtor's officers,
directors, and insiders.

JABEZ L INC: Springbok Buying Atlanta Property for $550K
--------------------------------------------------------
Jabez L, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Georgia to authorize the sale of the real property
located at 3904 Buford Highway NE, Atlanta, Georgia to Springbok
Investment Holdings, LLC and/or its assigns for $550,000.

The Debtor operates a coin laundry business at the Property that it
owns, being approximately one-half (%) acre of real property
improved with a 3,200 square foot commercial building.  In
addition, the Debtor derives rental income from the lease to a
third party of a billboard that is located on the Property.  

The Debtor purchased the Property for $465,000 on Oct. 25, 2006.
Its focus during the bankruptcy case has been to market the
Property for sale so that it can pay its creditors in full.  In
connection with that effort, the Debtor filed an Application on
June 13, 2017 to employ Interstate Auction Management Corp., doing
business as SVN Interstate Brokers, pursuant to the terms of a
listing agreement, as the exclusive listing broker in connection
with the marketing and sale of the Debtor's Property.

The Debtor is aware of the following claims against the Property:
Nancy Susan Wood asserts a secured claim against the Property and
the equipment therein (approximately 36 dryers, 32 washing
machines, and miscellaneous other equipment and fixtures) in the
amount of $434,819 as of May 1, 2017.  Upon information and belief,
interest continues to accrue at the per diem rate of $68 based on
the $354,341 principal balance and the interest rate of 7% per
annum, plus additional interest accrual in the estimated amount of
$26,843 (upon information and belief, interest accrues at a per
diem of $68 and a May 31, 2018 closing date).

Upon information and belief, property taxes are current through tax
year 2017.

Pursuant to Order entered on Sept. 22, 2018, the Court set Nov. 15,
2017 as the deadline for creditors and parties in interest to file
their Proofs of Claim.  A review of the Debtor's schedules and the
Proofs of Claim filed in the case discloses the following
additional claims against the estate: (i) $13,908 Proof of Claim #
2 filed by American Express; (ii) Proofs of Claim # 1 and #3 filed
by Internal Revenue $1,594 Service; and (iii) insider claim of the
Debtor's shareholder Samuel Lee as $60,000 reflected in the
Schedules filed May 1, 2017.

The Broker has marketed the Property diligently ever since its
employment was authorized by the Court.  The Debtor and the Buyer
have entered into the Commercial Purchase and Sale Agreement, as
subsequently amended.  As reflected in the Sales Contract, the
Buyer has contracted to purchase the Property from the Seller.  

The Seller submits that the following is an accurate summary of the
primary terms of the Sales Contract although parties in interest
are urged to read the Sales Contract so that they may understand
its complete terms:

     (a) The Purchase Price is $550,000.

     (b) The Binding Agreement Date is March 12, 2018.

     (c) The Closing is to occur no later than May 31, 2018.

     (d) The Property is sold "as is," and free and clear of all
liens, claims, encumbrances and interests, with all liens, claims,
encumbrances and interests to attach to the proceeds of the sale
proceeds.

     (e) Broker is holding the Purchaser's $10,000 Earnest Money
Deposit.

     (f) At Closing, the Seller will pay a sales commission equal
to $25,000.00 (this represents a reduction from the 7% sales
commission of $38,500 as provided for in the listing agreement),
the costs of the Seller's attorney, and no other closing costs,
except customary pro rations.  At Closing, the Buyer will pay for
the costs of the Buyer's attorney, transfer tax, recording costs,
and preparation of the closing documents.

     (g) The Seller is to petition the Court for approval of the
Sales Contract within 5 days of the Due Diligence Period.

     (h) The Due Diligence Period has been waived effective March
30, 2018.

     (i) The Closing is contingent on (i) the Seller conveying
marketable title, (ii) the Buyer obtaining a survey of the Property
that meets the minimal standard for the issuance of a title policy
by a national title insurance company with no exceptions as to
survey (the Buyer may waive this contingency); (iii) the Buyer
engaging an environmental consultant for testing of the Property
and such testing to be reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer (the
Buyer may waive this contingency); and (iv) the Buyer obtaining
Court approval of the Sales Contract within 90 days of the March
12, 2018 Binding Agreement Date.

A copy of the Sales Contract attached to the Motion is available
for free at:

     http://bankrupt.com/misc/Jabez_L_49_Sales.pdf

The Debtor asks authority to pay the Sales Proceeds at Closing as
follows based on a May 31, 2018 Closing Date:

     a. Pay all usual and customary closing costs and prorations at
Closing as reflected in the Sales Contract;

     b. Pay a real estate commission in the amount of $25,000 to
the Broker;

     c. Pay off the secured lien and mortgage to Nancy Susan Wood
in the estimated amount of $461,661;

     d. The 2018 property tax proration is estimated to be $1,717
(based on 2017 property taxes paid in the amount of $5,150);

     e. Pay $13,908 to American Express in payment of its Proof of
Claim # 2; and

     f. Pay $1,594 to the Internal Revenue Service in payment of
its Proofs of Claim # 1 and #3.

The remaining net sales proceeds in the estimated amount of $46,120
will be deposited into the Debtor's counsel's escrow account. It is
contemplated that the Debtor's counsel will then file its fee
application and a Motion to dismiss the bankruptcy case.  After
notice and hearing regarding the same, the Debtor's counsel will
pay from the escrowed funds all Court allowed administrative
claims, including Court allowed professional fees and any
outstanding quarterly fees owed to the United States Trustee,
whereupon it is anticipated that an Order dismissing the bankruptcy
case will be entered and all net sales proceeds then remaining in
the counsel's escrow account will be paid to Samuel Lee towards
payment of his $60,000 pre-Petition claim.

JEAN MCLANE: Chapmans Buying Portsmouth Property for $195K
----------------------------------------------------------
Jean Marianne McLane asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Rhode Island to authorize the private sale of the real
property located at 0 Glen Farm Road, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, the
same sometimes described as Plat 62, Lot 6B known commonly as the
Mill House to Jonathan S. and Erin O. Chapman for $195,000.

The Debtor's assets consist of two pieces of real estate located in
the Town of Portsmouth:

     1. The Mill House which consists of 3.57 acres abutting the
Glen Manor House.  There is an old uninhabitable Mill on the site.
There are no other structures on the Mill House property.

     2. The "Guest House" property is located at 272 Glen Farm Road
in Portsmouth.  The property consists of 30.5 acres abutting the
Sakonnet River with 400 feet of beach access.  There is an existing
guesthouse on the property built in 1991.  There are approved plans
for the construction of a main house on the Guest House property.
The Guest House property is currently on the market for $2.9
million, which is being reduced to expedite its sale.

Paul Leys of Gustave White Sotheby's International Realty, as
Broker for the Debtor, marketed the Property on the internet and in
print ads and solicited an offer to purchase from the Buyers with a
mortgage contingency (which has been met) and limited conditions
for $195,000.  The Debtor and the Buyers thereafter entered into
the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated Jan. 2, 2018.  

The Buyers tendered the full deposit to Leys which is being held in
escrow subject to Order of the Court.  By the Motion, the Debtor is
asking the Court to authorize her to sell the Mill House free and
clear of all claims, liens, mortgages, security interests, charges,
encumbrances, and other interests of record.  She asks for an
authority to sell her interest in the Mill House in order to
realize the highest potential value for the estate.

The Debtor believes that the foregoing APA constitutes reasonable
equivalent value and fair consideration for the Property under
control.

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

    http://bankrupt.com/misc/Jean_McLane_79_Sales.pdf

The Mill House is encumbered by these liens and encumbrances which
require satisfaction to convey clear title to the Buyers:

     a. FIA Card Services ("FIA") appears to hold a first position
lien interest pursuant to an Execution of $4,635, recorded on Sept.
4, 2008, in Book 1359 at page 17 of the Land Evidence Records for
the Town of Portsmouth.  Based on the date of recording and the 12%
accrual of interest pursuant to R.I. Gen. Laws Section 9-21-10; the
Debtor reasonably estimates that $10,000 will be required to
satisfy FIA's Lien.  FIA has not filed a proof of claim.

     b. Northeast Engineers and Consultants, Inc. ("NE") appears to
hold a second position lien interest pursuant to a promissory note
securing $7,098, dated April 3, 2014, and recorded in Book 1649 at
Page 177 of said Town's records.  The Debtor has requested a payoff
for the NE lien from its counsel.  NE also holds a companion lien
on the Guest House that will require satisfaction for the
conveyance of that property.  NE has filed a proof of claim in the
amount of $26,646 (Claim #8) that on information and belief
encompasses both liens on the Mill and Guest House properties.  The
Debtor, by the Motion is offering NE 50% of the amount of its proof
of claim, $13,323 to satisfy the lien on the Mill House with the
remaining balance to be paid in full on sale of the Guest House.
The Debtor submits that this is a fair and reasonable offer for
NE's release of the lien on the Mill House given the anticipated
sale of the Guest House.

     c. The Estate of Hugh Auchincloss III appears to hold a third
position lien interest pursuant to a Mortgage Deed securing
$59,650, dated April 30, 2014, and recorded in Book 1651 at Page
145 of said Town's records.  Auchincloss has also filed said
Mortgage Deed on the Guest House property.  He has filed a proof of
claim (claim #4) in the amount of $78,400 that on information and
belief encompass both liens on the Mill and Guest House properties.
The Debtor, by the Motion is offering Auchincloss 50% of the
amount of its proof of claim, $39,200 to satisfy the lien on the
Mill House with the remaining balance to be paid in full on sale of
the Guest House.  The Debtor submits that this is a fair and
reasonable offer for the satisfaction of Auchincloss' lien on the
Mill House given the anticipated sale of the Guest House.

     d. Smoke Clean of New England, Inc. appears to hold a fourth
position lien interest pursuant to an Execution based on a Judgment
of $26,238, dated Nov. 5, 2012, and recorded in Book 1780 at Page
129 of Said Town's records.  Smoke Clean has filed a proof of claim
(claim # 7) for $31,710 representing the amount due to satisfy
their lien.

The anticipated and approximated administrative claims for
professional services in the case are as follows: $11,700 in
commission to Leys.  The total administrative expenses do not
exceed the Net Sale Proceeds to the Debtor's Bankruptcy Estate.
Therefore, the Debtor does not anticipate that from the
administrative expenses there will need to be a carve-out to enable
a distribution to creditors.  

The Debtor asks the Court authorize the following distributions
from the sale proceeds: (i) Estimate Closing Costs - $10,000; (ii)
Broker Commission - $11,700; (iii) Execution FIA - $10,000; (iv)
Promissory Note NE - $13,323; (v) Mortgage Auchincloss Estate -
$39,200; and (vi) Execution Smoke Clean - $31,710.

Based on the foregoing, the Debtor estimates that there will be
approximately $76,535 available to distribute to unsecured
creditors from the sale of the Mill House as proposed.  The sale of
the Guest House is expected to satisfy all remaining creditors 100%
pursuant to a Plan.

The Claims Register indicates that the total claims filed in the
case are $1,873,108.  Claim numbers 4 (Auschincloss); 6 (NE); 7
(Smoke Clean) will be satisfied in full or in part pending sale of
the Mill House as contemplated.  The Execution lien to FIA which is
not subject to a proof of claim will be satisfied in full.

Claim number 1 filed by the State of Rhode Island, Division of
Taxation in the amount of $2,687; Claim number 3 filed by JP Morgan
Chase in the amount of $8,179; and Claim number 9 filed by Reverse
Mortgage Solutions, Inc. ("RMS") in the amount of $1,643,235.
Therefore, the remaining claims entitled to pro rata distribution
from the sale of the Mill House total $1,654,101.  The Debtor
anticipates filing of a Plan that will satisfy all remaining claims
and balances after pro rata distribution from the sale of the Mill
House as requested.

The Debtor reserves the right to object to claims that are untimely
or unsubstantiated.  She will be objecting to claim number 5 filed
by ETS Express, Inc.  On information and belief, the Debtor in not
party to any contract with ETS nor has she ever conducted business
with ETS.  On investigation ETS is in the business of selling
printed promotional products and other marketing related services
and materials.  At no time did Debtor ever transact any business
with ETS or ever order or receive any product or service from ETS.
The Debtor believes that claim 5 by ETS is either fraudulent or
incurred through fraud for which she is not legally responsible.

The Net Proceeds to the Debtor's Bankruptcy Estate will be held in
escrow until such time a plan is approved by creditors and
confirmed by the Court.

The Mill house is neither all nor substantially all of the Debtor's
Estate such that an advertisement pursuant to Local Rule 6004-1(c)
is required.

JONES ENERGY: Falls Short of NYSE's Minimum Bid Price Rule
----------------------------------------------------------
Jones Energy, Inc., received notification on March 23, 2018 from
the New York Stock Exchange that the Company was noncompliant with
certain continued listing standards because the price of the
Company's Class A common stock over a period of 30 consecutive
trading days had fallen below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum
average closing price per share required to maintain a listing on
the NYSE.  The Company previously received a similar notice on Dec.
26, 2017 but regained compliance on Feb. 1, 2018.

Jones Energy now has a six-month cure period to regain compliance.
Within the cure period, the Company may regain compliance if the
closing price per share is $1.00 or higher on the last trading day
of a given month, or at the end of the cure period.  Additionally,
the 30-day average closing price per share must also be $1.00 or
higher.

The Company notified the NYSE that it intends to cure the price
deficiency, including by proposing a reverse stock split for
approval by the Company's stockholders.  Pursuant to NYSE rules, if
the Company's stockholders approve the reverse stock split and if
the Company has not otherwise regained compliance, the Company
intends to promptly consummate the transaction in order to regain
compliance with the price criteria.  During the cure period, Jones
Energy stock will continue to be listed on the exchange so long as
it remains compliant with other continued listing standards.  The
notice does not affect ongoing business operations of the Company
or its reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

LSB INDUSTRIES: Moody's Assigns Caa1 Rating to New $400MM Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned Caa1 ratings to LSB Industries,
Inc.'s proposed $400 million senior secured notes due in 2023. The
company intends to use the proceeds from these notes to repay its
existing $375 million senior secured notes due in 2019, pay fees
and expenses, and for general corporate purposes. The proposed
offering is mostly leverage neutral, but will extend the company's
debt maturity profile. All other ratings are unchanged and the
rating outlook remains stable. Moody's will withdraw the rating on
the existing notes once the transaction closes.

Assignments:

Issuer: LSB Industries, Inc.

  $400 million Gtd. Senior Secured First Lien Notes, assigned Caa1

  (LGD4)

RATINGS RATIONALE:

LSB's rating reflects weak financial metrics and lack of consistent
operating performance as well as a slow recovery in the nitrogen
fertilizer market. The rating also reflects LSB's small scale as
measured by revenues and lack of product and operational diversity
and high customer concentration (almost 46% of sales from top seven
customers). The company has significant exposure to the commodity
nitrogen fertilizer industry and the seasonal agricultural segment
(43% of sales in the twelve months ended December 31, 2017), the
industrial markets (46% of sales) and the cyclical mining industry
(9%). The company operates three of its own facilities and one
facility on a contractual basis. Unplanned downtime and repair
costs that have plagued LSB over the past few years remain a
constraining factor for the rating. The company benefits from the
relatively low cost position of its three production facilities as
well as expected margin improvement at the El Dorado facility after
the company completed backward integration into production of
ammonia in 2016, improving the facility's cost profile.

LSB's leverage as adjusted by Moody's was approximately 8.8 times
in the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, reflecting unplanned
downtime during this period and weaker fertilizer prices. With El
Dorado running at full capacity and assuming no further unplanned
outages and stable nitrogen prices, the company should improve
earnings and lower leverage to around 7 times in 2018, but any
unplanned outages will keep leverage elevated above 7 times because
of lost volume given planned turnarounds. The proposed $400 million
note offering will refinance LSB's 2019 maturity and extend its
debt maturity profile to 2023. The company's capital structure
includes preferred stock with a put option exercisable on or after
August 2, 2019. The preferred stock has a 14% annual dividend,
which accrues unless the board decides to pay it in cash. The
liquidation value of the preferred stock including the accrued and
unpaid dividend was $185.2 million as of December 31, 2017. If the
put option date is not extended and the proposed $400 million note
transaction does not close, Moody's will likely downgrade the
company's rating as Moody's does not expect the company to generate
enough cash flow in 2018 or 2019 to redeem the preferred and will
need to either issue debt or equity to cover the potential
redemption.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectations that the
proposed issuance of $400 million of notes will extend the
company's debt maturity profile and that metrics should improve if
all facilities are running reliably.

Moody's would not consider upgrading the ratings until the company
has demonstrated operational improvements at its three ammonia
facilities, which will allow these plants to operate with minimal
downtime. An upgrade would also be contingent on the company's
ability to maintain leverage sustainably below 6.5x and on reducing
the refinancing risk.

LSB's rating would be lowered if the proposed refinancing does not
close, if the company experiences significant unplanned downtime at
its facilities, free cash flow remains negative and liquidity
deteriorates.

LSB's SGL-3 reflects its adequate liquidity position supported by
its $34 million of cash on the balance sheet as of December 31,
2017. The company has a $50 million ABL revolver, which is subject
to the borrowing base limitation. The company had no borrowings
under the revolver and approximately $41.2 million of availability
and Moody's expects the company to still have flat to negative free
cash flow in 2018. The revolver expires on January 17, 2022 or 90
days before the $375 million of senior notes mature on August 1,
2019. The revolver has a springing 1 times fixed charge covenant if
availability is less that $5 million.

LSB Industries, Inc., headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is
a producer of commodity chemicals that are derived from ammonia
(nitrogen fertilizers, nitric acid and ammonium nitrate). LSB owns
and operates three facilities in El Dorado, Arkansas, Cherokee,
Alabama and Pryor, Oklahoma. The company also operates a Baytown,
Texas, facility on a contractual basis for Covestro AG (Baa2
stable). The company generated sales of $428 million in the twelve
months ended December 31, 2017.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Chemical Industry
published in January 2018.

MARRONE BIO: Marcum LLP Replaces Ernst & Young as Accountants
-------------------------------------------------------------
Upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors of Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc., the Company dismissed
Ernst & Young LLP as its principal independent registered public
accounting firm.  Also on April 12, 2018, upon the recommendation
of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company,
the Company appointed Marcum LLP as its principal independent
registered public accounting firm to audit the Company's financial
statements for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2018.

"In light of the Company's continued focus on cost control, the
Audit Committee conducted a formal, competitive review process, in
which they evaluated a number of potential firms that were invited
to submit a proposal.  As part of the process, the Audit Committee
considered, among other things, the capabilities and resources of
each firm and its primary engagement team, the firms'
responsiveness, the proposed approach to scoping the audit and the
firms' proposed fee structures.  After consideration of these and
other relevant factors, the Audit Committee, determined that Marcum
offered the services necessary to support the Company at pricing
that represented the best value for the Company.  The Company had
worked with EY since 2008, and thanks EY for its high level of
service, responsiveness and professionalism over the many years,"
Morrone Bio stated in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

The reports of EY on the consolidated financial statements of the
Company for the fiscal years ended Dec. 31, 2017 and Dec. 31, 2016
did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor
were those reports qualified or modified as to audit scope or
accounting principles, but were modified to contain an explanatory
paragraph indicating there was substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


The Company said that during its past two fiscal years ended
Dec. 31, 2017 and Dec. 31, 2016 and in the subsequent interim
period through April 12, 2018, there have been no disagreements
with EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

As previously reported, management has identified a specific
deficiency related to controls over derivative accounting that
constituted a material weakness in the Company's internal controls
over financial reporting as of Dec. 31, 2017.  The Company did not
maintain effective internal controls related to the accounting for
embedded derivative instruments that were a part of certain loan
instruments that we entered into during the year ended Dec. 31,
2017 and the related debt issuance costs.  This material weakness
resulted in material misstatements and audit adjustments to
derivative liability, debt discounts, interest expense, change in
fair value of financial instruments and additional paid-in capital
to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2017.

The Company added that during the Relevant Period, neither the
Company, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with Marcum.

ONCOBIOLOGICS INC: Appoints Randy Thurman to Board of Directors
---------------------------------------------------------------
Oncobiologics, Inc., has appointed Randy Thurman to its board of
directors, effective April 13, 2018.  At the same time,
Oncobiologics also announced the resignation of Scott Canute as
director and member of the board of director's Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee and as Chairman of the Compensation
Committee.  Mr. Thurman was also appointed to fill Mr. Canute's
roles on those board committees.

In addition, Oncobiologics announced the resignation of Claudio
Albrecht as director and member of the board of director's
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.  Mr. Yezan Haddadin
was nominated by GMS Tenshi Holdings Pte. Limited to rejoin the
board and fill the vacancy created by Mr. Albrecht's departure.  In
connection, the board appointed Mr. Haddadin to fill the vacancy on
the board, and to replace Mr. Albrecht as a member of the board of
director’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

"I'm very pleased that Mr. Randy Thurman is joining our board of
directors," said Oncobiologics' Chairman & CEO Dr. Pankaj Mohan.
"Randy is an experienced and well respected life sciences industry
executive and public company director with a track record of
building businesses and creating shareholder value through product
development, strategic marketing and M&A.  His broad expertise in
building successful companies will be a great benefit to us."

Mr. Thurman is currently a senior advisor at BC Partners, a private
equity firm, and is also currently a member of the Board of
Directors at Allscripts, Inc. and Zest Dental, Inc.  In the span of
his career, Mr. Thurman has previously been the president of both
Rorer and Rhone-Polenc Rorer Pharmaceuticals, CEO of Corning Life
Sciences, and Chairman and CEO of VIASYS Healthcare, Inc., as well
as a member of the board for over 15 public and private companies.

"While we are excited to add Randy Thurman to our board, we are sad
to see Scott Canute and Claudio Albrecht leaving," Dr. Mohan
continued.  "Scott has been a supporter and a member of our board
for many years and he will be missed.  It is unfortunate that both
Scott and Claudio were beset with too many demands on their time to
continue on our board.  However, I am happy to see that Yezan
Haddadin has been selected to rejoin the board as one of the GMS
Tenshi designees."

Mr. Thurman will be compensated pursuant to the Company's
non-employee director compensation policy, as adopted in January
2016. Under the Policy, Mr. Thurman will receive an annual retainer
of $35,000 for his service as a director, $10,000 for his service
as Chairman of the Compensation Committee, $5,000 for his service
as a member of the Board's Compensation Committee, and $4,000 for
his service as a member of the Board's Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee, payable in equal quarterly installments in
arrears, on the last day of each fiscal quarter for which the
service occurred, pro-rated based on the days served in the
applicable fiscal quarter.  In addition, pursuant to the Policy, on
April 13, 2018, Mr. Thurman was granted a stock option to purchase
25,000 shares of the Company's common stock, which vests 33.33% on
the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, such
that 100% of the shares underlying the option will be vested in

into its standard form of indemnity agreement with each of Mr.

Oncobiologics reported a net loss attributable to common

compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of
$63.13 million for the year ended Sept. 30, 2016.  As of Dec. 31,
2017, Oncobiologics had $32.27 million in total assets, $40.17

KPMG LLP, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the year
ended Sept. 30, 2017, citing that the Company has incurred
recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since
inception and has an accumulated deficit at Sept. 30, 2017 of
$186.2 million, $13.5 million of senior secured notes due in
December 2018 and $4.6 million of indebtedness that is due on
demand, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.


PAC ANCHOR: Needs Time to Evaluate Claims, Financial Prospects
--------------------------------------------------------------
Pac Anchor Transportation, Inc., requests the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Central District of California to extend the exclusivity
period to file and solicit a plan of reorganization from April 15,
2018 to at least until August 13, 2018.

The Debtor relates that it has two state court lawsuits to resolve
to determine the extent of its liabilities to be paid in this
bankruptcy case. One of those actions has been brought by the State
of California for alleged unfair business practices, among other
things, and the other suit is a Class Action brought against the
Debtor by the driver it employed prior to the filing of the
bankruptcy case.

The Debtor's employment practices with respect to its truck driver
employees are the root cause of the Lawsuit and Class Action. These
employment practices were to treat the driver employees as
independent contractors rather than hourly employees. Both the
State of California and the Class Action Claimants contended that
such treatment is an unlawful misclassification of their employment
status resulting in violations of statutes and unlawful deductions
from wages.

While the Debtor disputes these claims and believes that it has not
misclassified the employment status of its drivers, the Debtor has
recognized that continuing such employment practices only results
in the propagation of further litigation which is not in its
interests or the interests of the creditors of this bankruptcy
estate. Commencing September 2017, the Debtor ceased classifying
its drivers as independent contractors and is now compensating them
as hourly employees so as to avoid any further claims and
litigation. Consequently, the Debtor has been operating for the
last several months using a business model with which it had no
experience using.

Thus, the Debtor requires sufficient time from which it can compile
reliable projections as to future profitability so as to support
assumptions and meaningful conclusions about the feasibility of any
proposed plan. The Debtor believes that in or around July or August
2018, it will be in a position where it can adequately compile all
of the necessary information to assess its profitability under the
new employment model and provide adequate projections of income and
expenses to be offered to prove feasibility of any proposed plan of
reorganization.

The Bar Date for the Class Action Claimants to file a proof of
claim expired on January 2, 2018. However, the Debtor and the Class
Action Claimants entered into a stipulation to extend the deadline
to file a proof of claim from January 2 to February 2, 2018 in
order to provide Class Action Claimants sufficient time to gather
and evaluate the necessary information to file a proof of claim.
Now, the Debtor is in the process of examining the claims to
determine whether any objections are necessary.

The Debtor is currently in the process of exploring its options for
resolving this chapter 11 bankruptcy case. Actually, the Committee
has requested and the Debtor has provided information concerning
Debtor's transactions with related parties, and the exchange of
information continues. The Debtor believes that the Committee is
and will be reviewing this information to obtain a better idea of
Debtor's financial condition.

Additionally, the Debtor has attended mediation with Committee, the
Class Action claimants and the State of California to enter
settlement negotiations. The Committee, the Class Action claimants
and the State of California have requested additional information
from the Debtor before proffering a settlement proposal.

Thus, in the meantime, settlement discussions are ongoing and are
likely to continue over the next several weeks. The Debtor hopes a
settlement will be reached and in order to complete settlement
negotiations, therefore, additional time is needed to engage in and
complete settlement negotiations with the Committee, the Class
Action Claimants and the State of California.

Moreover, the litigation with the State of California is set for
August 2018 and certainty with respect to that claim, will be more
clearly in focus. Therefore, the Debtor and the Committee will need
additional time to evaluate the claims and determine Debtor's
future financial prospects before a plan of reorganization can be
proposed.

Due to these issues, the Debtor will be unable to file a plan and
disclosure statement before the expiration of the exclusivity
period of April 15, 2018. While the Debtor is unsure when it will
be able to file a plan and disclosure statement, the Debtor
believes under the circumstances that an extension until August 13,
2018 is appropriate and justified.

PERSPECTA INC: S&P Assigns 'BB' Corp. Credit Rating, Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB' corporate credit rating to
Perspecta Inc. The outlook is stable.

S&P said, "At the same time, we assigned our 'BB' issue-level
rating and '3' recovery rating to the company's proposed first-lien
credit facilities, which comprise a five-year $600 million
revolving credit facility, a three-year $500 million term loan A1,
a five-year $1.535 billion term loan A2, and a seven-year $400
million term loan B. The '3' recovery rating indicates our
expectation for meaningful recovery (50%-70%; rounded estimate:
60%) in the event of a default.

"Our rating on Perspecta reflects the company's good size, diverse
offerings, and strong margins, which are offset by its somewhat
weak pro forma credit metrics. Following the merger, Perspecta will
be a large player in the highly competitive and fragmented
government services market with about $4.2 billion of pro forma
combined revenue. The company will compete against similar-size
peers, including CACI International, SAIC, Booz Allen Hamilton, and
CSRA (which was recently acquired by General Dynamics). The company
will offer many information technology (IT) products and services
to its government customers, including cyber security, analytics
and data services, cloud computing, and applied research, which
should position it to compete effectively against its peers. The
company has good contract and end-market diversity and over 50% of
its contracts are on a fixed-priced basis, which provides it with
opportunities for increased profitability and--in turn--increased
risk. We expect Perspecta's pro forma debt-to-EBITDA to be
4.5x-5.0x in fiscal-year 2019 (ending March 29, 2019) before
improving modestly thereafter.

"The stable outlook on Perspecta reflects our expectation that the
company's debt-to-EBITDA will be 4.5x-5.0x in fiscal-year 2019 pro
forma for the merger. We expect the company's leverage to improve
to 4.0x-4.5x in fiscal-year 2020 as the U.S. government increases
its funding for defense, civil, and intelligence agencies, which
will support higher earnings and cash flow and some debt
reduction.

"We could lower our rating on Perspecta in the next 12 months if
its debt-to-EBITDA increases above 5x for an extended period. This
could occur because of integration issues or if management is
unable to realize the expected synergies from the merger, leading
to weaker margins, increased competition, contract losses,
lower-than-expected debt payments, or higher-than-expected
shareholder returns.

"We could raise our rating on Perspecta in the next 12 months if
its debt-to-EBITDA improves below 4x and we expect it to remain
there. This could occur if the company experiences
faster-than-expected revenue and earnings growth from new wins and
successful recompetes, benefits from the realization of additional
synergies and an increased proportion of fixed-price contracts, or
if it pays down debt at a faster-than-anticipated rate."


PILGRIM'S PRIDE: S&P Puts 'B' CCR on CreditWatch Developing
-----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings placed all of its ratings on Pilgrim's Pride
Corp., including the 'B' corporate credit rating, on CreditWatch
with developing implications.

The CreditWatch placement reflects the possibility that we could
raise or lower our ratings on North American poultry producer
Pilgrim's Pride in the near-term depending on JBS' ability to
refinance its short term debt and improve liquidity. If JBS
refinances its maturing bank facilities in the near term S&P could
upgrade both JBS and Pilgrim's Pride. An upgrade would also be
supported by our expectation that JBS will maintain strong
operations and demonstrate a sustainable deleveraging trend, in
part because of Pilgrim's Pride's still favorable operating
outlook.

S&P could either raise, lower, or affirm the ratings on Pilgrim's
Pride, which will hinge on the degree to which JBS is able to fully
refinance its large amount of upcoming bank debt maturities.

RIDESHARE PORT: Plan Solicitation Period Extended Through July 23
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Ernest M. Robles of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Central District of California, for purposes of maintaining
exclusive right to file a plan of reorganization, has extended the
period during which only Rideshare Port Management, LLC and its
affiliates may solicit acceptance of a plan of reorganization
through July 23, 2018.

Pursuant to the Court's ruling at the hearing on April 5, 2018, the
deadline for the Debtors to obtain confirmation of its First
Amended Plan is extended through July 24, 2018.

The Troubled Company Reporter has previously reported that the
Debtors asked the Court to extend the exclusive solicitation period
to afford sufficient time for the parties to continue to negotiate
toward a consensual resolution of the cases, if possible.

On Feb. 9, 2018, the Debtors filed their Plan of Reorganization
proposed jointly by debtors Rideshare Port Management, LLC, and Red
Booth, Inc., and their Joint Disclosure Statement describing Joint
Plan of Reorganization proposed by debtors Rideshare Port and Red
Booth.  The hearing to consider approval of the Disclosure
Statement is currently scheduled for April 5, 2018.

The Debtors said they have made progress with two separate counsel
representing two groups of State Court Plaintiffs toward a
consensual resolution of the claims and the Plan.  The Debtors
wished to continue this progress, so as to have a fair and
reasonable opportunity to reach a consensus.  Thus, the extension
being sought will expedite the reorganization process by giving the
Debtors, creditors, non-debtor plan funders and equity holders a
fair and reasonable opportunity to reach a consensual plan.  Toward
that goal, an extension will foster negotiations by permitting
those parties negotiating in good faith to be free of distractions
from dissident creditors to the detriment of the estates and those
creditors making good faith efforts to reach a consensus.

Currently, the Debtors have been considering offers to resolve
claims, as well as avoid potential objections to confirmation, from
these two groups, which resolution will require a few modifications
to the Plan Trust provided for as part of the Plan.  In that
regard, the Debtors have deferred submitting certain exhibits
pertaining to the claims resolution process and financial exhibits
to the Disclosure Statement.  Among other reasons, filing such
exhibits at this juncture may be counterproductive to the
negotiations and resolution.  

In addition, should the proposed resolution with these two groups
come to fruition, the Debtors and negotiating claimants will need
additional time to review and conform the exhibits.  In
furtherance, the Debtors' are in the process of retaining a
financial consultant, Special Services, to review the Debtors
financial information, so as to assist in resolution for a
consensual plan with such claimants.  The Debtors intended to file
applications to employ Special Services shortly.  Therefore, it is
likely that a continuance of the Disclosure Statement Hearing will
become necessary.

For years, the Debtor has been the target of numerous lawsuits
initiated by plaintiff contingency counsel, on behalf of former or
disgruntled drivers asserting that they were not independent
contractors, but rather employees of the Debtor.  For years, the
Debtor has successfully defended these claims as they arise.
Unfortunately, they keep coming. As of the Petition Date, the
Debtor had been named as a defendant in at least nine separate
proceedings.

The Claims are unresolved, the resolution process is complex, and
the Debtors would like to solicit input from counsel for these
creditor groups.  First, there is the threshold issue to determine
as to whether the drivers are independent contractors.  Next, there
are also complexities concerning the components of the claims and
the treatment under a Chapter 11 plan.

                  About Rideshare Port Management

Rideshare Port Management, LLC, provides rideshare van services,
including van services to passengers at the Los Angeles

RITE AID: S&P Puts 'CCC+' Unsecured Debt Rating on Watch Positive
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings placed its 'CCC+' issue-level rating on Rite Aid
Corp.'s unsecured debt on CreditWatch with positive implications
following the announcement that Rite Aid and Albertsons Cos. LLC
will merge. If the proposed transaction is completed as announced,
Rite Aid's existing legacy unsecured notes due in 2027 and 2028
will be uptiered into the Albertsons capital structure. S&P said,
"As a result, we think recovery prospects in a default scenario
would be modestly higher for the unsecured lenders. We expect to
revise the recovery rating on the unsecured notes to '5' from '6',
indicating our expectations for modest recovery (in the 10%-30%
range; rounded estimated 20%), and raise the issue- level rating to
'B-' from 'CCC+'."  

Albertsons and Rite Aid expect the transaction to close in the
second half of 2018. S&P plans to review the final terms of the
transaction as the closing date approaches and will, at that time,
also consider other recovery assumptions to resolve the CreditWatch
placement.

ROBERT MOULTRIE: Selling Property to Pay Alimony & Claims
---------------------------------------------------------
Robert Lynch Moultrie, Sr., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Georgia to authorize the sale of (i) golf cart
for $1,250; (ii) 4-wheel Gator for $1,250; (iii) canoe (1) for
$500; (iv) canoe (2) for $500; (iv) canoe carrier for $1,000; (v)
kayak (1) for $500; (vi) kayak (2) for $500; (vii) kayak (3) for
$500; (viii) kayak (4) for $250; (ix) wrist watch (Cartier) for
$2,000; (x) 4 horse saddles/Tac for $3,000; and (xi) artwork-bronze
sculpture for $2,500.

The Debtor proposes to sell these items for not less than the Sales
Prices indicated:

     Description    Purchase Date Purchase Price  Value  Sales
Price

      Golf Cart         2006         $5,500       $1,250   $1,250
      Four wheel Gator  2006         $3,500       $1,250   $1,250
      Canoe (1)         2004         $1,550       $500     $500
      Canoe (2)         2004         $1,550       $500     $500
   Canoe carrier        2004         $2,500       $1,500   $1,000
      Kayak (1)         2004         $1,750       $500     $500
      Kayak (2)         2004         $1,750       $500     $500
      Kayak (3)         2004         $1,750       $500     $500
      Kayak (4)         2004         $1,750       $250     $250
      Wrist Watch       1997      Gift       $5,000    $2,000
       (Cartier)
  4 Horse saddles/Tac   2003         $7,000       $3,000    $3,000
  Artwork- Bronze Sculpture          $5,000       $2,500    $2,500

The Debtor will maximize the return to the estate by listing the
described items for sale at a price not less than 150% of the value
listed, and accepting an amount not less than the Sales Price.  The
sale of the property will eliminate the expense to the estate of
fees or commissions that are customary to bankruptcy estates in
such sale of property of the estate.

The Debtor is aware of his fiduciary duty to the Court to maximize
the return realized from such sales.  He is further motivated to
maximize the return to be realized from such sales by his need to
pay administrative claims and the claims of allowed unsecured
claims in the Case.

He asks permission from the Court to list and sell said items, or
so many of those items needed to pay the prepetition domestic
support obligations that have been ordered by the Hon. Lark Ingram,
on E-Bay, Craig's List, or some recognized public vehicle for the
sale of consumer goods to the general public.  He also asks
permission from the court to sell said items, or so many of those
items that may be needed to pay allowed administrative claims in
the Case.

Upon sale of said items, the Debtor will file a report of sale with
the Court.  All proceeds from the sale of said goods will be
deposited into the DIP account and the amount of domestic support
obligations ordered paid by the Hon. Lark Ingram together with
allowed administrative claims will be promptly remitted from said
funds.

The Debtor's failure to pay the amounts ordered by the Hon. Lark
Ingram may result in the entry of an order holding the Debtor in
contempt.  He's in any Plan of Reorganization filed in the Case,
the Debtor will be required to pay all domestic support obligations
in full as a first priority claim under 11 U.S.C. Section 507(a)(1)
and all allowed administrative claims in full pursuant to 11 U.S.C.
Section 507(a)(2).

It is in the best interest of creditors and of the Chapter 11
Estate to authorize the sale of property of the estate to pay the
pre-petition domestic support obligations owing from the Debtor to
Susan Renee Moultrie and administrative claims in the Case.  He
asks the Court to enter an Order approving the payment of his
pre-petition domestic support obligations in the amount of $7,000,
as ordered by the Superior Court of Cobb County.

Robert Lynch Moultrie, Sr., from Woodbury, Georgia, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. N.D. Ga. Case No.
17-11208) on June 6, 2017.  Howard D. Rothbloom, Esq., at The
Rothbloom Law Firm, serves as the Debtor's bankruptcy counsel.

ROSEDALE/LAKE STREET: Court Approves Disclosure Statement
---------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort
Worth Division, has approved the disclosure statement explaining
Rosedale/Lake Street LLC's second amended plan of reorganization.

The Second Amended Plan proposes to pay the Debtor's three
unsecured creditors in full in accordance with a signed Settlement
Agreement for Chapter 11 Plan executed by the Debtor, Trison
Construction Group, and Crossroad Service.  The Debtor has received
an insurance check from Zurich of America in the amount of
approximately $48,300 for prepetition damage to the building caused
by theft and vandalism.  The Debtor intends to use the proceeds of
the Insurance Check to help satisfy the Allowed Claims of unsecured
creditors.

The Plan will require First Financial Bank (which will be paid
through the Exit Financing) and any contractors or subcontractors
who claim an interest in the Insurance Check or the proceeds to
release their interests in the Insurance Check to the Debtor, which
will use the proceeds to the extent necessary to pay their Allowed
Claims.

To the extent that proceeds of the Insurance Check are not
sufficient to pay the Allowed Claims of any unsecured creditors,
the Debtor will pay the balance to the holders of such Allowed
Claims in four (4) equal quarterly installments, beginning on the
first day of the calendar quarter that is at least 60 days after
the Effective Date of the Plan or 60 days after the entry of a
Final Order that results in the creditor’s unsecured claim
becoming an Allowed Claim, whichever is later.

RSG INT'L: S&P Alters Outlook to Negative & Affirms 'B-/B' ICRs
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook on RSG International Ltd.
and RSG Finance LLC to negative from stable.

S&P also affirmed the long- and short-term 'B-/B' issuer credit
ratings, and subsequently suspended them.

"The outlook revision reflects our view that RSG International's
business and financial profiles could deteriorate following
sanctions introduced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's
Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on Mr. Vekselberg, who
indirectly owns 67.5% of RSG International Ltd. and its financial
vehicle, RSG Finance LLC.

"OFAC's naming of the controlling owner of RSG International and
RSG Finance as a "specially designated national" aside, we
nevertheless consider the probability of a RSG International Ltd.
and RSG Finance default in the next 12 months as relatively low.
RSG International's debt is denominated in local currency and the
company is funded solely by domestic Russian ruble bonds and by
bilateral loans from local banks. The company's liquidity sources
exceeded liquidity uses by more than 2x as of year-end 2017. A
large state-owned bank is its leading bilateral creditor. As such,
we have limited our negative rating action to an outlook revision.


"We suspended our ratings on RSG International Ltd. and RSG Finance
LLC because their controlling owner is listed as a "specially
designated national" by OFAC.

"We will consider reinstating the ratings on RSG International and
RSG Finance if the OFAC sanctions are lifted, all else being
equal."

SEADRILL LTD: Wants to Preserve Plan Exclusivity Through March 2019
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Seadrill Limited and its debtor-affiliates ask the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of Texas to extend (a) the period
during which the Debtors have the exclusive right to file a chapter
11 plan through and including the earlier of the Effective Date and
March 12, 2019, and (b) the period during which the Debtors have
the exclusive right to solicit a plan filed during the Filing
Exclusivity Period through and including the earlier of the
Effective Date and May 10, 2019.

On February 26, 2018, the Debtors filed the Disclosure Statement
Relating to the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization. That same day, the Court entered the Order
approving the adequacy of the disclosure statement, among others.

On April 12, 2018, the Debtors filed the Plan, the Voting Report,
the Memorandum of Law in Support of Confirmation of the Second
Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization and the Proposed Confirmation
Order.

The Debtors believe it is prudent to seek an extension of the
Exclusivity Periods to preserve their exclusive right to both
prosecute the Plan currently on file, and file and solicit a new
plan of reorganization should unforeseen issues arise with respect
to and after confirmation.

Over the course of these chapter 11 cases, the Debtors have worked
tirelessly to maximize consensus in favor of the Second Amended
Joint Chapter 11 Plan, and were ultimately successful. The Debtors'
restructuring now has the support of the overwhelming majority of
their creditors at every level of their capital structure.

Indeed, every active creditor constituency in these Chapter 11
Cases supports confirmation of the Plan, and it is not surprising
that more than 99% of all voting creditors aggregated across all
classes of Claims entitled to vote and more than 96% of the
Seadrill Limited interest holders voted to approve the Plan.

Owing in large part to the consensual nature of these chapter 11
cases and relief granted by the Court at the first and second day
hearings, the Debtors' businesses have operated largely without
interruption. Now, the Debtors are poised for a nearly fully
consensual confirmation hearing and swift emergence from chapter
11.

The Plan is the foundation on which the Debtors have built a
value-maximizing restructuring. In the unlikely scenario where the
Plan does not go effective or the Debtors do not swiftly emerge
from chapter 11, the Debtors' momentum through these Chapter 11
Cases could be unnecessarily slowed, especially if the Debtors were
forced to fend off alternative chapter 11 plan proposals. Even
worse, a lapse in exclusivity could potentially destroy the
progress the Debtors have made over the course of these Chapter 11
Cases and jeopardize the Debtors' ability to secure the benefit of
the $1.08 billion new capital commitment contemplated by the Plan.


The hearing to confirm the Plan that embodies this
globally-supported restructuring is scheduled to commence on April
17, 2018, approximately one month before the expiration of the
Debtors' exclusive right to file a chapter 11 plan on May 10, 2018.
Further, the expiration of the Debtors' exclusivity period will
occur prior to the conclusion of the implementation of the Debtors'
complex corporate restructuring and going effective under the
Plan.

Out of an abundance of caution, the Debtors seek an extension of
the exclusivity period in which the Debtors may file and solicit
acceptances of a chapter 11 plan of reorganization. The Debtors
believe that maintaining the exclusive right to file and solicit
votes on a plan of reorganization is critical to realizing the
value-maximizing restructuring contemplated by the Plan.

The Debtors need a clear runway through emergence. The Debtors
intend to and are on track to proceed with the confirmation
hearing. Extending exclusivity will afford the Debtors and their
stakeholders time to finalize the transactions contemplated by the
Plan and proceed towards the Effective Date uninterrupted for the
benefit of all stakeholders, and will help the Debtors avoid future
unnecessary motion practice, and in no way prejudices any parties
in interest.

Thus, the Debtors seek an extension of exclusivity not only to
continue to press forward with confirmation of the Plan, but also
to ensure that the Plan is implemented effectively and that the
Debtors efficiently emerge from these Chapter 11 Cases. For all of
the foregoing reasons, and the reasons more specifically described
herein, an extension of exclusivity is appropriate.

                      About Senior Oaks

Senior Oaks, LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
(Bankr. S.D. Miss. Case No. 17-52141) on Oct. 30, 2017.  In the
petition signed by its owner, Brenda Lee Chapman, the Debtor
estimated $100,000 to $500,000 in both assets and liabilities.  The
Debtor is represented by David L. Lord, Esq., at David L. Lord and
Associates, P.A., in Gulfport, Mississippi.


SHAFFER & ASSOCIATES: Delays Plan Until Finalization of Financing
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Shaffer & Associates, Limited, requests the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Northern District of West Virginia for an extension of the
exclusive filing period to May 31, 2018, without prejudice to seek
additional extensions.

Without the requested extension, the Debtor was to file a plan of
reorganization by April 12, 2018.

The Debtor is principally engaged in the business of renovating a
parcel of property located at 141 East Main Street, Clarksburg,
West Virginia (the Maxwell-Duncan House), although it does accept
contract work, supervise and renovate real properties for other
entities. The Maxwell-Duncan House is the Debtor's major asset.

The Maxwell-Duncan House has historic significance to the City of
Clarksburg and Harrison County, as it is associated with relatives
and ancestors of Stonewall Jackson, noted Confederate General
during the American Civil War.

The Debtor has been following two possible tracts to
reorganization, either: (a) obtain financing to rehabilitate the
Maxwell-Duncan House, or (b) sell the Maxwell-Duncan House to
prospective purchaser.

The Debtor has obtained the Court's approval and authorization to
secure post-petition financing from United Nation Bank. The Debtor
is continuing to work with United Bank to secure financing which is
essential to its reorganization. Accordingly, the Debtor needs more
time to finalize the financing it is seeking.

Shaffer & Associates Limited, filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy
petition (Bankr. N.D. W.Va. Case No. 17-00185) on February 26,
2017.  In the petition signed by its president, Martin L. Shaffer,
the Debtor disclosed $50,000 to $100,000 in estimated assets and
$100,000 to $500,000 in estimated liabilities.  The Debtor is
represented by Brian R. Blickenstaff, Esq., at Turner & Johns,
PLLC.

An official committee of unsecured creditors has not yet been
appointed in the Chapter 11 case of Shaffer & Associates Limited as
of March 27, according to a court docket.

SKYPATROL LLC: Needs Additional Time to Review Certain Claims
-------------------------------------------------------------
Skypatrol, LLC, requests the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Florida to extend the Exclusivity Periods for the
Debtor to file its plan of reorganization and to solicit
acceptances of its plan of reorganization for 120 days.

Pursuant to Section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code, the exclusivity
period for the Debtor to file a plan of reorganization is April 12,
2018, and the exclusivity period for the Debtor to solicit
acceptances to its plan of reorganization is June 11, 2018.

The Debtor tells the Court that it has been making required
post-petition payments as they become due and is effectively
managing its business and preserving the value of its assets.

Moreover, this is the Debtor's first request for an extension of
the Exclusivity Periods and the Debtor is not seeking an extension
of the Exclusivity Periods as a delay tactic or to pressure
creditors to submit to the Debtor's reorganization demands. Rather,
the Debtor requires additional time to, inter alia, review and
resolve certain claims. More specifically, since filing its
petition, the Debtor relates that it has actively engaged in
discussions, including cooperatively exchanging documents and
information, with certain creditors in an effort to amicably
resolve certain disputed claims.

Given the status and progress of ongoing discussions, the Debtor is
confident that further negotiations will yield a resolution of the
disputed claims and a Plan of Reorganization with promise of
probable success. Further, aside from the Debtor's efforts to
resolve certain disputed claims, the deadline for all creditors to
file proof of claims in this matter is April 23, 2018, which is
after the current Plan Exclusivity Period, and a complete analysis
of all proof of claims filed is necessary for purposes of
structuring its plan of reorganization.

Prior to filing this Motion, counsel for the Debtor consulted with
counsel for the Office Committee of Unsecured Creditors who advised
that the committee does not oppose the requested extension.

SYNEOS HEALTH: S&P Assigns 'BB-' Rating on New $1.525BB Term Loan B
-------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB-' issue-level rating and '3'
recovery rating to Syneos Health Inc.'s proposed $1.525 billion
term loan B. The company proposes to price this debt at LIBOR + 200
basis points (bps), or 25 bps below the existing term loan B, which
will be refinanced with this new term loan. S&P's 'BB-' corporate
credit rating on Syneos is unchanged because the transaction is
leverage neutral. The outlook remains positive.

S&P said, "Our 'BB-' issue-level rating and '3' recovery rating on
the senior secured credit facility indicates our expectations for
meaningful (50%-70%; rounded estimate: 55%) recovery in the event
of a payment default. The senior secured credit facility consists
of a $500 million senior secured revolver, a $1 billion term loan A
($993.75 million outstanding at year-end 2017), and the proposed
$1.525 billion term loan B.

"Our rating on subsidiary inVentiv Group Holdings Inc.'s senior
unsecured notes remains 'CCC+', with a '6' recovery rating. The '6'
recovery rating indicates our expectations for negligible (0%-10%;
rounded estimate: 5%) recovery in the event of payment default.

"Our corporate credit rating on Syneos remains 'BB-' with a
positive outlook, reflecting the company's high adjusted debt
leverage in the low-5x area at the end of 2017 and in the mid- to
low-4x area in 2018, in light of the merger with inVentiv Group
Holdings Inc. in August 2017. The merger enhanced the scale of the
company, creating a top-three contract research organization (CRO)
(based on revenues) and the top commercial contract commercial
organization (CCO) with a combined revenue of over $3 billion. We
expect 2018 to be a transition year as Syneos integrates the
transaction and de-levers. Although we anticipate the CRO segment
will grow in line with industry average in the mid- to
high-single-digit range, the CCO segment growth could be volatile
as it is inherently a less sticky business than the CRO business."

VERMILLION ENERGY: Spartan Deal No Impact on Moody's Ba3 Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vermilion Energy Inc. (Vermilion, Ba3 stable) announced an
agreement to acquire all of Spartan Energy Corp.'s (Spartan,
unrated) shares with Vermilion shares. This is a credit positive
move for Vermilion because the acquisition will improve retained
cash flow to debt in 2019 to between 35% to 40% from Moody's
expected 30%. The acquisition also improves margins in Canada due
to the 91% light oil content of Spartan's 20,000 boe/d (net of
royalties) production stream. Vermilion will assume C$175 million
of Spartan debt while gaining around C$250 million of annual cash
flow. The transaction is expected to close by mid-June 2018. The
rating is not affected because Vermilion's retained cash flow to
debt will remain below 40%, Moody's upgrade trigger.


VERTEX ENERGY: OKs Option Grants to 12 Officers and Employees
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of Vertex Energy, Inc., has approved the

financial officer and secretary of the Company (options to purchase
108,000 shares); and John Strickland, the chief operating officer
of the Company (options to purchase 117,000 shares).

The Options were granted under the Company's Amended and Restated
2013 Stock Incentive Plan and the Options (other than Mr. Cowart's
Options) had a term of ten years; provided that Mr. Cowart's
Options had a term of five years, subject in all cases to the terms
and conditions of the Plan and the award agreements, and each

Options per year on each of April 12, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.

selling prices of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ Capital
market on the last trading day prior to the effective date of the
grant of the Options; provided that Mr. Cowart's Options had an
exercise price of $1.26 per share, representing 110% of the Market
Price.

WP CCP: Moody's Rates New $750MM 1st Lien Credit Facility 'B2'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned B2 ratings to WP CPP Holdings,
LLC new $750 million first lien senior secured credit facility
comprised of a $125 million revolver and $625 million term loan.
Concurrently, Moody's assigned a Caa2 rating to CPP's new $125
million second lien senior secured credit facility. The B3
Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and the B3-PD Probability of Default
Rating are unchanged. The rating outlook remains positive.

The following summarizes the rating action:

Assignments:

Issuer: WP CPP Holdings, LLC

Senior Secured 1st Lien Bank Credit Facility, Assigned B2 (LGD3)

Senior Secured 2nd Lien Bank Credit Facility, Assigned Caa2
(LGD6)

Withdrawals:

Issuer: WP CPP Holdings, LLC

Senior Secured 1st Lien Bank Credit Facility, Withdrawn ,
previously rated B2 (LGD3)

Senior Secured 2nd lienBank Credit Facility, Withdrawn ,
previously rated Caa2 (LGD6)

RATINGS RATIONALE

The B3 Corporate Family Rating reflects CPP's modest scale, mixed
operating history, weak balance sheet (Debt-to-EBITDA around 7x)
and elevated execution risk. The company's expanding set of
capabilities, content wins on a number of growth platforms, and
incumbency positions on multiple products that have significant
barriers to entry act as tempering considerations.

The B2 ratings for the first lien term loan and revolver reflect
their seniority position in the consolidated capital structure,
including the benefits of predominantly all-asset liens and both
upstream and downstream guarantees. The Caa2 rating for the second
lien term loan reflects its junior position relative to the
aforementioned first lien lenders, with an explicit second lien
status albeit identical guarantees as provided to first lien
lenders.

The ratings could be upgraded if we expect Debt-to-EBITDA to be
sustained near or below 6.25x. CPP's ability to execute strongly
and to meet customer expectations for product quality and
timeliness will also be a consideration for any upward rating
action. A stronger liquidity profile with expectations of improved
cash flows, less reliance on revolver borrowings and comfortable
compliance with financial covenants would also create upward rating
pressure. A rating downgrade would likely occur if Moody's adjusted
leverage were expected to remain above 7.5x. Execution issues on
new business wins, continued weakness in profitability metrics or a
further weakening of CPP's liquidity profile would also result in
downward rating pressure.

Competitive Strategy for Health Care Organizations: Techniques for
Strategic Action is an informative book that provides practical
guidance for senior health care managers and other health care
professionals on the organizational and competitive strategic
action needed to survive and to be successful in today's
increasingly competitive health care marketplace. An important
premise of the book is that the development and implementation of
good competitive strategy involves a profound understanding of
change. As the authors state at the outset: "What may need to be
done in today's environment may involve great departure from the
past, including major changes in the skills and attitudes of staff,
and great tact and patience in bringing about the necessary
strategic training."

Although understanding change is certainly important in most
fields, the authors demonstrate the particular importance of change
to the health care field in the first and second chapters.  In
Chapter 1, the authors review the three eras of medical care
(individual medicine, organizational medicine, and network
medicine) and lay the groundwork for their model for competitive
strategy development. Chapter 2 describes the factors that must be
taken into account for successful strategic decision-making. These
factors include the analysis of the environmental trends and
competitive forces affecting the health care field, past, current,
and future; the analysis of the competitive position of the
organization; the setting of goals, objectives, and a strategy; the
analysis of competitive performance; and the readaptation of the
business, if necessary, through positioning activities, redirection
of strategy, and organizational change.

Chapters 3 through 7 discuss in detail the five positioning
activities that are part of the model and therefore critical to the
development and implementation of a successful strategy: scanning;
product market analysis; collaboration; restructuring; and managing
the physician. The chapter on managing the physician (Chapter 7) is
the only section in the book that appears dated (the book was first
published in 1984). In this day of physician-owned hospitals and
physician-backed joint ventures, it is difficult to envision the
physician in the passive role of "being managed." However, even the
changing role of physicians since the book's first publication
correlates with the authors' premise that their model for
competitive strategic planning is based exactly on understanding
and anticipating change, which is no better illustrated than in
health care where change is measured not in years but in months.
These middle chapters and the other chapters use a mixture of
didactic presentation, graphs and charts, quotations from famous
individuals, and anecdotes to render what can frequently be dry
information in an entertaining and readable format.

The final chapter of the book presents a case example (using the
"South Clinic") as a summary of many of the issues and strategic
alternatives discussed in the previous chapters. The final chapter
also discusses the competitive issues specific to various types of
health care delivery organizations, including teaching hospitals,
community hospitals, group practices, independent practice
associations, hospital groups, super groups and alliances, nursing
homes, home health agencies, and for-profits. An interesting quote
on for-profits indicates how time and change are indeed important
factors in strategic planning in the health care field: "Behind
many of the competitive concerns lies the specter of the
for-profits. Their competitive edge has lain until now in the
excellence of their management. But developments in the past
half-decade have shown that the voluntary sector can match the
for-profits in management excellence. Despite reservations that may
not always be untrue, the for-profit sector has demonstrated that
good management can pay off in health care. But will the voluntary
institutions end up making the same mistakes and having the same
accusations leveled at them as the for-profits have? It is
disturbing to talk to the head of a voluntary hospital group and
hear him describe physicians as his potential competitors."

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.  Prices are
obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources during
the prior week we think are reliable.  Those sources may not,
however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday Bond Pricing table
is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.  Prices reported
are not intended to reflect actual trades.  Prices for actual
trades are probably different.  Our objective is to share
information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or
sell any security of any kind.  It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers
public debt and equity securities about which we report.

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $3 per
share in public markets.  At first glance, this list may look like
the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.

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

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com.  Go to

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

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