Credit conditions for firms still deteriorating

Credit conditions for firms still deteriorating - Daily Telegraph

Despite the lending constraints, the strongest applicants for finance actually found that “competition between lenders ... had intensified”.

“Companies with strong balance sheets tended to be able to borrow at reasonable terms,” the agents noted.

Christopher Shaw, chief executive of alternative finance firm Platform Black, said banks had turned “off the tap on lending” for all but the very lowest credit risks.

“There’s a real danger that this will have a chilling effect on the economy, even before the recovery has taken root.

“For the economy to start growing in earnest, [small businesses] need to grow and to grow they need funds. Currently, those funds simply aren’t there. The engine of the economy needs fuel but it’s simply not getting it.”

Separately, there were signs that the debt crisis in the eurozone is hitting British exports, with the agents noting that sales to Europe “had weakened materially” over the last month while the prospect of a further strengthening of the pound is causing “widespread concerns” among exporters.

However, overall exports “grew steadily”, driven by increased demand in a number of emerging markets, especially for luxury goods in China and Russia, investment in energy and infrastructure in the Middle East and mining in Africa.

More companies are looking abroad for the first time, the agents said, with the focus on “rapid growth markets” to offset weak demand at home.

Film Finance Awards are Launched - msnbc.com

WARSAW, Poland, June 20, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Forrest Equity Management has announced that it will sponsor the first Film Finance Awards to take place on 5 December, 2012. The awards, to honour the best in film finance around the world, will take place in the Polish capital city of Warsaw.

The organisers intend for the awards to become an annual fixture in the calendar of film events, to recognise people and organisations that are responsible for raising and providing film finance and the companies whose job it is to market and sell the films to a global market.

The awards organiser, Craig Smith, said that 'word-of-mouth' reaction to the Film Finance Awards has been building steadily and created quite a buzz. "Every day, I receive a stream of emails from people who are interested to learn more about the awards and wish to take part. Recently, Fashion Television contacted me to say they are supporting the event and others are coming forward with sponsorship."

The awards will be presented at a ceremonial dinner for nominees and recipients at the InterContinental Hotel in the centre of Warsaw. Eight categories of awards will be presented at the gala event; the full list appears below.

Speaking on behalf of the sponsors, Leslie Sheldon, one of the directors of Forrest Motion Pictures, said the idea for the event came from personal experience, observing the effort that goes into funding independent films from a patchwork of sources that are barely, if ever recognised.

Forrest Equity Management, Managing Director, Don Bailey, said: "The awards shall mark out and honour individuals, film boards, financial institutions, government agencies and others who are critical to the production of films." Speaking as an Executive Producer, Bailey went on to make reference to Executive Producers, who are excluded from the list of recipients who parade to the stage of the Oscars to collect their statue.

The organisers have set the first annual Film Finance Awards in Warsaw but it may travel to other cities in future years, including the home of films, Hollywood.

For those interested to submit companies and organisations for the awards, the full list of categories is:

Distribution Company of the year,
Executive Producer of the year,
Film Board of the year,
Festivals of the year,
Finance Company of the year,
Film Sales Company of the year,
Tax Credit Regions of the year,
Lifetime Achievement in film finance.

TEXT-Fitch assigns FCT Ginkgo Compartment Sales Finance 2012-1 expected ratings - Reuters

Wed Jun 20, 2012 5:21am EDT

(The following statement was released by the rating agency)

June 20 - Fitch Ratings has assigned FCT Ginkgo Compartment Sales Finance 2012-1's notes backed by French consumer loan receivables originated by CA Consumer Finance ('A+'/Negative/'F1+') expected ratings as follows:

EUR TBD Class A: 'AAAsf(EXP)'; Outlook Stable;

EUR TBD Class B: 'AAsf(EXP)'; Outlook Stable;

The final ratings are contingent on the receipt of final documents conforming to information already received.

The expected ratings are based on Fitch's assessment of the origination and servicing procedures of CA Consumer Finance (CACF), Fitch's expectations of future asset performance, the available credit enhancement, and the transaction's legal structure. Credit enhancement will be provided to the rated notes by subordination. Subordination to the class A notes, amounting to 23.3%, is provided by the class B notes (5.8%) and the class C notes (17.5%).

At closing, the proceeds of the class A, B and C notes will be used to purchase a static pool of French loans to individuals granted for the purchase of home equipment, new vehicles, used vehicles or leisure vehicles from the originator (provisional pool as of end-May 2012: EUR800.0m). All the loans bear a fixed interest rate and are amortising with constant monthly instalments. The loans were originated by CACF, the consumer finance arm of Credit Agricole (CA; 'A+'/Negative/'F1+'). This is the third consumer loans securitisation transaction by this originator.

CACF is the loan servicer. No back-up servicer will be appointed at closing. However, servicing continuity risks are mitigated by operational factors, including arrangements for monthly transfer of borrowers' details needed for notification. Furthermore, the commingling risk is mitigated by a dedicated commingling reserve. Lastly, a reserve fund will be funded at closing to cover any liquidity shortfalls.

Fitch has a stable asset outlook for French consumer ABS assets. Although the agency forecasts French economic activity to remain weak over the next two years, characterised by high unemployment, Fitch believes defaults are likely to remain within base-case expectations, as they already incorporate Fitch's short-term macroeconomic expectations.

A presale report, including further information on transaction related stress and sensitivity analysis, and material sources of information that were used to prepare the credit rating is available at www.fitchratings.com.

A comparison of the transaction's representations and warranties to those Fitch considers to be typical for European ABS transactions is available in the appendix document entitled 'FCT Ginkgo Compartment Sales Finance 2012-1 - Representations and Warranties', dated 20 June 2012 and available at www.fitchratings.com
