...Fitch Ratings affirmed the issuer default rating (IDR) of AMC, Marquee Holdings Inc. (Marquee; parent company), and AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC Holdco; parent of Marquee) at `B', and also revised certain issue level ratings (as detailed in the Fitch Ratings Actions table on page #) to align with changes to Fitch's rating definitions. Approximately $#.# billion in total debt is affected. The Rating Outlook remains Stable. The ratings and Outlook reflect Fitch's belief that leverage (net leverage of #.#x and gross leverage of #.#x) is at its peak and expects the company to reduce leverage over time. Further, Fitch estimates that the $### million in cash through the Holdco level (as of July #, ####) will be deployed for the purpose of reducing leverage by either: #.) reducing debt levels (likely through continued debt repurchases); and/or #.) by making deleveraging/ accretive acquisitions. There is no tolerance in the rating for a high multiple acquisition or for dividends paid to...

...Workers' compensation insurance is mandatory for virtually all employers in the state, resulting in a stable assessment base. Assessment payers consist of private insurance carriers, the New York State Insurance Fund (NYSIF), and self-insurers, which include political subdivisions, certain eligible corporations, and trade groups. Assessment collection rates have been more than ##% since ####. It is expected that total bonding through #### will be no more than $#.# billion, yielding maximum annual debt service (MADS) coverage of #.##x. However, this can be diluted to as low as #.##x if the full $#.## billion authorization is issued in this period. If issuance of the full authorization is deferred until ####, MADS would be no lower than #.##x. The NYSIF is a self-supporting state entity whose liabilities are ultimately the responsibility of the state of New York. Repayment of funds previously transferred to the state by the NYSIF is backed by a dry appropriation. Bondholders have a priority...

Surveillance Criteria for U.S. Commercial Real Estate Loan CDOs - Amended Surveillance Criteria for U.S. Commercial Real Estate Loan CDOs - Amended 2009-10-23
...Fitch Ratings updates its methodology for reviewing U.S. commercial real estate loan CDOs (CREL CDOs). This update addresses the deterioration in credit fundamentals for U.S. commercial real estate (CRE), specifically as it relates to CREL CDO collateral. Fitch's revised methodology is meant to be forward looking and therefore includes assumptions about future performance declines. Fitch maintains its three-pronged approach to analyzing the risks associated with CREL CDOs, collateral analysis, structural analysis, and asset manager review. This report focuses primarily on Fitch's revised approach to its collateral analysis. In forecasting losses in its base case, Fitch assumes that, on average, property incomes will sustain a decline of ##%. Fitch will focus solely on in-place cash flows with no credit for pro forma income. Given current CRE fundamentals, the ability to achieve pro forma income is unlikely in the foreseeable future. In addition to the projected income declines, corresponding...

...New York City Municipal Water Finance Authority's (NYW, or the authority) primary credit strength is its unique legal structure, which is similar to those utilized in structured finance and provides substantial protection to bondholders from utility system and city municipal operating risks.

The authority benefits from a large and diverse service area and enjoys an ample, quality water supply exempt from costly filtration requirements. The authority's strong capital planning efforts, prudent financial management, and proven ability to raise rates are demonstrated by consistently solid financial results and...

...Ball Corporation's (Ball) `BB' issuer default rating (IDR) and Stable Rating Outlook incorporate the company's solid cash flow generation, stable credit metrics, leading market positions in its product categories, and current expectations in the packaging end markets.

South Korean Energy and Utilities - FX Risk Moderating, Alleviating Pressure on Credit Metrics South Korean Energy and Utilities - FX Risk Moderating, Alleviating Pressure on Credit Metrics 2009-10-23
...In Fitch Ratings' view, the recent appreciation of the South Korean (Korean) won is generally positive for Korean energy and utility companies' cash flow generation and credit metrics. Nevertheless, Fitch notes that the ratings of the Korean state owned power and utility companies are linked to the Korean sovereign ratings because of the strength of the companies' legal, operational and strategic ties with the government, rather than their standalone financial profile. The exchange rate of the won against the US dollar remained at about KRW### #,###/USD# during FY## and FY##.

Although still higher than historical exchange rates in the mid####s, the won restored its value to below KRW#,###/USD# by endSeptember ####. Owing to their heavy reliance on imported energy resources, Korean energy and utility companies are not only affected by international commodity prices,...

Global Rating Criteria for Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Global Rating Criteria for Asset-Backed Commercial Paper 2009-10-22
...This report describes Fitch Ratings' approach to rating asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP). Fitch assigns a rating to ABCP based on an examination of the issuing entity's structure, its collateral and investment guidelines, and the key parties involved, including the vehicle's sponsor and the credit enhancement and liquidity support providers.

Fitch's review of an ABCP program seeks to determine the following: The credit quality of the liquidity and credit enhancement support providers. The credit quality of the collateral. The administrative capabilities and expertise of the sponsor. That legal and structural issues have been addressed. Fitch's review of a conduit's structure involves an analysis of the credit...
