STANFORD INT'L: Liquidators Fight to Keep Job
---------------------------------------------
Stanford International Bank Limited liquidators, Nigel Hamilton-
Smith and Peter Wastell of British firm Vantis Business Recovery
Services, are fighting a judge's decision to replace them,
Caribbean360.com reports.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
June 14, 2010, Mr. Hamilton-Smith and Mr. Wastell had been removed
from office following a decision by the High Court of Antigua on
June 8, 2010. Alternative liquidators are appointed. A written
judgment has not been handed down by the Antiguan Court. The
Joint Liquidators have been advised by their legal counsel that
the basis of the decision, which has as yet only been given orally
by the Judge, was incorrect and that it should be urgently
appealed to the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal.
According to Caribbean360.com, the judge had ruled in favor of
Stanford investor Alexander Fundora who had challenged Vantis'
role in the liquidation, based on the finding by a court in Canada
last September that it had destroyed original computer data and
removed financial information from SIBL Montreal office. However,
the report relates Mr. Hamilton-Smith and Mr. Wastell said that
they had been advised by their legal counsel that the basis of
Justice Thomas' decision "was incorrect and that it should be
urgently appealed to the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal".
"The Joint Liquidators wish to confirm that they will request a
stay in the High Court decision pending their appeal to the
Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal to enable them to remain in
office," the report quoted the joint liquidators as saying.
"Since their appointment, the Joint Liquidators have continued to
make significant progress in their efforts to recover monies on
behalf of the creditors and investors of SIB," they added.

appointing Ralph Janvey as receiver for all the assets and records
of Stanford International Bank, Ltd., Stanford Group Company,
Stanford Capital Management, LLC, Robert Allen Stanford, James M.
Davis and Laura Pendergest-Holt and of all entities they own or

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, on Feb. 17, 2009,
charged before the U.S. District Court in Dallas, Texas, Mr.
Stanford and three of his companies for orchestrating a
fraudulent, multi-billion dollar investment scheme centering on an
US$8 billion Certificate of Deposit program. A criminal case was
pursued against him in June 2009 before the U.S. District Court in
Houston, Texas. Mr. Stanford pleaded not guilty to 21 charges of
multi-billion dollar fraud, money-laundering and obstruction of
justice. Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, as cited by
Agence France-Presse News, said in a 57-page indictment that Mr.
Stanford could face up to 250 years in prison if convicted on all
charges. Mr. Stanford surrendered to U.S. authorities after a
warrant was issued for his arrest on the criminal charges. The
criminal case is U.S. v. Stanford, H-09- 342, U.S. District Court,
Southern District of Texas (Houston). The civil case is SEC v.
Stanford International Bank, 3:09-cv-00298-N, U.S. District Court,
Northern District of Texas (Dallas).

BANCO BRASCAN: Fitch Affirms Issuer Default Ratings at 'BB+'
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the ratings of Banco Brascan S.A.:
-- Long-term foreign and local currency Issuer Default Ratings
at 'BB+'; Outlook Stable;
-- Short-term foreign and local currency IDRs at 'B';
-- Support rating at '3';
-- National Long-term rating at 'AA-(bra)'; Outlook Stable;
-- National Short-term rating at 'F1+(bra)'.
The IDRs and National Ratings of Brascan reflect the support of
the controlling shareholder, Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (IDR
'BBB' with a Stable Outlook). Brazil is a strategic market and
the activities developed by the bank are a complement to the
group's business in the country, although the bank is not a
significant contributor within the group's total business volume.
Brascan is a small investment bank with relevant asset and
liability concentrations.
Results are still volatile, reflecting lower leveraging, with
losses in recent years due to opportunistic action in selected
niches and a greater dependency on proprietary trading since 2001.
Brascan intends to continue with its plans to further explore the
operational synergies with the group within the country, including
using its expertise in funds management to help build a more
recurring commercial business base. This should present more
concrete results from 2010-2011. In Fitch's opinion, the bank's
results will remain under pressure as long as the bank lacks more
consistent business and revenue generation, even with a leaner
structure and higher synergy with the group.
The weak performance in 2008 and 2009 reflected smaller treasury
gains and deceleration of commercial activities due to the global
crisis, besides a higher volume of loan loss provisions in YE2009,
which lead the bank to present BRL4.6 million of losses at year.
In Brascan's projections for 2010, the combination of the maturity
of some businesses in progress, lower expected cost and
provisioning will allow a better results generation.
The treasury originates the largest risk exposures, although loan
operations have presented some deterioration in 2008-2009 due to
higher market delinquency. These, together with off-balance sheet
guarantees, amounted to modest BRL175.2 million in December 2009,
concentrated in exposures to companies of the real estate sector
and loans mainly backed by receivables. Given the economy's
recovery and higher volume of write-offs, the bank anticipates
better performance of its loan portfolio and the return of its
ratios to more adequate historical levels.
In 2003, Brascan was fined by the Federal Revenue Department (SRF)
and received a favorable ruling from the SRF Taxpayer Board in
January 2006. The total amount of the fine was BRL150 million at
December 2009 and no provisions were created. Fitch believes that
any negative impact would be limited because of shareholder
support. After the reduction in capital in 2007, the bank's
capitalization ratios remain adequate due to the lower leverage
recorded on its balance sheet in recent years.
Brascan and its affiliates provide services to the Brookfield
group in Brazil and focus their activities on treasury, financial
consulting services and brokerage, asset management, and corporate
finance.
* BRAZIL: Itajai Gets US$13.2MM IDB Loan Under Procidades Program
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Itajai, a port city in the southern Brazilian state of Santa
Catarina, will get a US$13.2 million loan from the Inter-American
Development Bank to improve its public transportation system and
build various bicycle paths around the city center.
The loan, approved on June 10, 2010, is the 14th operation under
Brazil's Procidades, the credit mechanism that finances integrated
urban development programs for municipalities in Brazil.
Itajai, which has more than 172,000 residents, will use the IDB
loan to finance multiple improvements in the city's main avenues
and streets as well as paving, drainage and other public works in
the city's outlying neighborhoods. The IDB financing will also
support activities to strengthen the municipal government's
planning capacity. Local counterpart funds for this latest IDB
loan total $13.2 million.
"The program will support Itajai in addressing its major
development needs, and will improve the mobility and quality of
life of its residents" IDB project leader Aderbal Curvelo said.
With the Itajai financing, the Procidades credit mechanism has to
date approved loans for a total of US$328 million, covering
municipalities in nine Brazilian states, including Rio de Janeiro,
Sao Paulo, Parana, Mato Grosso do Sul, Espirito Santo, Sergipe,
Amazonas, Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina.
The IDB is now finishing the preparation of additional loans, with
the most advanced being Duque de Caxias (Rio de Janeiro), Sao Luis
(Maranhao), Paranagua (Parana) and Recife (Pernambuco). The main
areas of integrated development supported by Procidades include
neighborhood upgrading, mobility and transportation, sanitation,
social services, local economic development and institutional
strengthening.
About IDB
Founded in 1959, the IDB is the world's largest and oldest
regional development bank. In March its 48 member countries
agreed in principle to increase its capital resources to boost its
lending capacity to US$12 billion a year, nearly double its
present sustainable level. The United States is the single
biggest shareholder, with a 30% stake in the IDB's capital.
Collectively, Latin American and Caribbean borrowing member
countries own a controlling majority of shares.

ECOPETROL SA: OKs Rubiales Field Commercial Surface Expansion
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of Ecopetrol SA has approved the request to
expand the commercial area of the Rubiales field, located in the
Meta district 148 kilometers (92 miles) from the Puerto Gaitan
municipality.
This declaration of expansion means that, after evaluating the
potential of the additional surface and the results obtained from
preliminary oil wells, Ecopetrol decided to integrate this sector
into the commercial production of the field, together with
operating company Meta Petroleum.
The Rubiales Risk Participation Contract was signed on July 1,
1988. Ecopetrol has a 60% share in expenses and a 50% share in
investments, and receives 60% of the hydrocarbon production after
royalties.
The Rubiales field has a commercial surface of 29,447 hectares
(72,839 acres), including the additional commercial surface of
7,135 hectares (17,631 acres) approved recently. The production
plan forecasts an average daily production of 170,000 barrels a
day in 2011 (including the production of the Piriri Partnership
Contract). The field's current daily oil production reaches
122,500 barrels.
Rubiales is adjacent to the recently declared commercial field
Quifa and the Piriri contract area, in which Ecopetrol and Meta
Petroleum are also partners.
At present, Ecopetrol has an average daily production of 216
barrels at the Meta district, from direct fields such as Castilla
and its share in fields operated jointly with other companies.
The extension of the commercial surface of the Rubiales field
forms part of the heavy crude project, one of the axes of
Ecopetrol's strategy for 2015, aimed at a daily production of one
million equivalent barrels (oil and gas) by 2015.

AIR JAMAICA: Deal With Caribbean Airlines in Danger
---------------------------------------------------
The new Trinidad government, led by Kamla Persad-Bissessar, is
reportedly having second thoughts about the takeover of Air
Jamaica Limited by Caribbean Airlines Limited, Jamaica Gleaner
reports. Dennis Lalor, who led the Air Jamaica divestment
committee and was the point man in the negotiations, told the news
agency in an interview that he had not heard the news, and he
would not expect any change in the position of the Trinidad
government because its objectives have been largely met since CAL
acquired Air Jamaica.
According to the report, under the agreement finalized on
April 28, 2010, the government of Trinidad and Tobago was slated
to contribute working capital to facilitate the merger while the
Jamaican Government assumed the debt and covered the multibillion-
dollar winding-up costs. However, the report relates, the
Jamaican Government has received grants of US$820,000 (J$70
million) in 2008 to help with the early stages of the divestment
and US$221,000 (J$19.12 million) from the United States Trade and
Development Agency to assist with finalizing the deal.
The Jamaican Government acquired a 16% stake in CAL as part of the
condition for the airline taking over the lucrative routes of the
cash-strapped airline, the report says.
About Air Jamaica
Headquartered in Kingston, Jamaica, Air Jamaica Limited --
http://www.airjamaica.com/-- was founded in 1969. It flies
passengers and cargo to almost 30 destinations in the Caribbean,
Europe, and North America. Air Jamaica offers vacation packages
through Air Jamaica Vacations. The company closed its intra-
island services unit, Air Jamaica Express, in October 2005. The
Jamaican government owned 25% of the company after it went private
in 1994. However, in late 2004, the government assumed full
ownership of the airline after an investor group turned over its
75% stake. The Jamaican government does not plan to own Air
Jamaica permanently.
* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
January 27, 2010, Moody's Investors Service changed the ratings
outlook of Air Jamaica Limited to stable. The Corporate Family
and senior unsecured ratings of Air Jamaica are affirmed at Caa1.
The change in outlook mirrors the change of the outlook of the
foreign currency bond rating of The Government of Jamaica to
stable, which occurred on January 22, 2010. The ratings reflect
Jamaica's unconditional and irrevocable guarantee of the rated
debt obligations of Air Jamaica. The foreign currency bond rating
of Jamaica remains Caa1, notwithstanding the January 22, 2010
downgrade of Jamaica's local currency bond rating by Moody's to
Caa2.
As reported in the TCR-LA on November 5, 2009, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services said that it lowered its long-term corporate
credit rating on Air Jamaica Ltd. to 'CCC' from 'CCC+'. The
outlook is negative.
JAMAICA PUBLIC SERVICE: Regulator Grants Inflation Adjustment
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Office of Utilities Regulation has granted the Jamaica Public
Service Company an inflation adjustment, RadioJamaica reports.
The report relates that the decision belies the pronouncements
made by the Energy Minister that JPSCO customers could be seeing a
reduction in electricity bills.
According to the report, it was revealed that JPSCO was seeking an
inflation related increase in electricity rates from the OUR. The
report notes that James Robertson, Energy Minister, met with
business interests and suggested that there may actually be a
decrease in non fuel electricity rates. However, the report says,
bold pronouncement now seems hollow.
JPSCO, the report notes, had applied for a 4.81% increase in non-
fuel costs of electricity bills but the OUR granted the light and
power company a 4.79% increase. The increases will take effect on
June 18, 2010.
About JPSCO
Headquartered in Kingston, Jamaica -- https://www.jpsco.com/ --
Jamaica Public Service Company Limited is an integrated electric
utility company and the sole distributor of electricity in
Jamaica. The company is engaged in the generation, transmission
and distribution of electricity, and also purchases power from
five Independent Power Producers. Japanese-based Marubeni
Corporation owns 80 percent of the company. The Government of
Jamaica and a small group of minority shareholders own the
remaining shares. JPS currently has roughly 582,000 customers who
are served by a workforce of over 1,600 employees. The Company
owns and operates 28 generating plants, 54 substations, and
roughly 14,000 kilometers of distribution and transmission lines.
* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
March 12, 2010, RadioJamaica said that the multi-billion dollar
show down between the Jamaica Public Service and the three unions
-- BITU, NWU, and UCASE -- representing workers at the company has
entered the penultimate stage before the Industrial Disputes
Tribunal. The report related that the IDT heard testimony from
the Chairman of JPSCO, Tommy Fukuda who was called as the last
witness. According to the report, Mr. Fukuda maintained that
JPSCO has paid the US$2.3 billion it owed the workers following
the 2001 job reclassification exercise. However, the report
related, the three unions argued that the company still owed the
workers an additional JM$500 million to JM$600 million in
retroactive, overtime and redundancy payments.
NATIONAL HOUSING TRUST: Set to Lose Billions
--------------------------------------------
The harsh economic climate over the last year could cost the
National Housing Trust more than JM$1.2 billion this fiscal year,
Jamaica Gleaner. The report relates that a breakdown of this
figure shows that interest on investment is expected to decline by
JM$671 million from last year, while employee contribution is
projected to be JM$559 million less than last year.
However, the report notes, head of corporate communications at the
NHT, Hortense Rose, made it clear that this would not
significantly affect the company's performance this year. "The
trust is adequately capitalized to deal with such occurrences,"
Mr. Rose said in an emailed response obtained by the news agency.
According to the report, the massive layoffs across several
sectors last year were cited as one of the reasons for the decline
in contributions.
The Gleaner says NHT's senior general manager for construction and
development, Donald Moore, acknowledged that there could be salary
increases in the private sector this year, but said this would not
be enough to offset the shortfall. The report discloses that the
reduction in interest rates under the Jamaica Debt Exchange was
cited as one of the factors for the projected JM$671-million
decline in investment interest.
Ms. Rose, the report notes, said that another factor was a
strategic decision by the company to reduce its investment
portfolio by US$3.2 billion this fiscal year. "Last year, the NHT
had taken a strategic decision to increase its expenditure on
housing in the 2010-2011 fiscal year. One result of this is that
our funds for investment purposes would have been reduced," the
report quoted Ms. Rose as saying

AXTEL SAB: S&P Downgrades Issuer Credit Rating to 'B+'
------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its long-term issuer
credit rating on Mexican telecommunications company Axtel S.A.B de
C.V. to 'B+' from 'BB-'. At the same time, S&P lowered the rating
on the company's senior unsecured notes to 'B+' from 'BB-' and
affirmed the recovery rating of '3' on the notes (indicating the
expectation of meaningful (50%-70%) recovery in the event of
payment default). The outlook is stable.
"The downgrade reflects Axtel's weaker-than-expected financial
performance during first-quarter 2010, which was a result of
declining revenue in all of its business segments, particularly
the international traffic segment, and S&P's expectation of
stiffer competition," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Marcela Duenas.
The ratings on Axtel reflect strong competition from other fixed-
line operators, especially Telefonos de Mexico S.A.B. de C.V.
(Telmex); growing competition from the fast-growing mobile
services segment and cable providers, which are now providing
integrated communications services under "triple-play" and
"quadruple-play" offerings; its dependence on Telmex
interconnection; and potential growth opportunity, which could
increase its leverage. Axtel's wide reach within Mexico and its
flexible, advanced network featuring several access technologies
support the rating. The company is the (distant) second-largest
fixed-line integrated telecommunications company in Mexico, behind
Telmex.
During first-quarter 2010, revenue declined across all of the
company's segments, with international traffic the most affected.
This decline caused the company's EBITDA margin to fall to 29.3 %
from the 35.2% reported during fourth-quarter 2009. According to
the company's preliminary operating figures, S&P expects
international traffic volume to recover in second-quarter 2010.
The stable outlook reflects Axtel's adequate liquidity and S&P's
expectation of volume recovery in international traffic.
"Continued operating weakness, additional indebtedness that leads
to higher leverage, or higher-than-expected capital expenditures
may prompt a negative rating action. A positive rating action is
possible if Axtel's operations grow and the company's leverage
remains under 3x," Ms. Duenas added.
HIPOTECARIA CREDITO: Moody's Cuts Local Currency Rating to 'B1'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's de Mexico has downgraded Hipotecaria Credito y Casa, S.A.
de C.V., Sociedad Financiera de Objeto Limitado's CREYCB 08
Certificates's to Baa1.mx from A1.mx (National Scale). At the
same time, Moody's Investors Service downgraded the certificates'
Global Scale, Local Currency rating to B1 from Ba2. The last
rating action occurred on January 5, 2010 when the CREYCB 08
Certificates were downgraded to A1.mx from Aa3.mx (National Scale)
and to Ba2 from Baa3 (Global Scale, Local Currency).
The rating action was primarily based on the increased probability
of a technical default with respect to principal payments on the
certificates' legal final maturity date in November 2010.
However, the rating action also reflects that the CREYCB 08
Certificates are very unlikely to suffer meaningful losses.
The rating action was triggered by a combination of the decline in
portfolio collections in April 2010 and recent investor-driven
changes related to the disbursements reserve account. The rating
actions also consider the change in the certificates' legal final
maturity date (to November 22, 2010 from June 4, 2012).
While monthly principal collections have averaged approximately
MXN$16 million over the past six months, principal collections
declined to approximately MXN$7.0 million in April 2010, the
lowest monthly level observed since the closing date. If
principal collections continue at this pace through November 2010,
collection amounts by themselves will likely be insufficient to
pay down the certificates by the final maturity date.
The transaction currently has a reserve account funded with
MXN$110.0 million (compared to MXN$156.2 million in outstanding
certificates). However, funds set aside in this reserve account
were earmarked by investors to make future disbursements under the
securitized construction loans' lines of credit. As a result, and
as confirmed by the trustee, any funds set aside in the reserve
account would not be immediately available to amortize the
certificates should they have an outstanding balance as of the
revised legal final maturity date of November 22, 2010.
The transaction also benefits from a partial credit guarantee
provided by Sociedad Hipotecaria Federal that covers interest or
principal shortfalls up to an amount of MXN$72 million, or 46% of
the outstanding certificate balance. However, it is uncertain
whether the trust will have immediate access to the PCG funds by
the legal final maturity date of November 22, 2010 if the trust's
reserve account has liquid funds that are not applied to amortize
the certificates.
As mentioned above, the legal final maturity of the certificates
has changed since closing. Although the trustee continues to
report June 4, 2012, as the legal final maturity date in its
monthly trustee reports, the transaction's legal documents state
that the original legal final maturity date of June 4, 2012 would
be revised to a date that is 560 days (or a period equal to 20
months of 28 days) following the date that an early amortization
event is declared. Since an early amortization event was declared
on June 9, 2009, Moody's downgrade reflects the revised legal
final maturity date of November 22, 2010.
Moody's notes that the certificates may experience a technical
default with respect to principal by the final maturity date.
However, Moody's downgrade to B1/Baa1.mx also reflects that the
certificates are very likely to ultimately recover 100% of their
outstanding balance and accrued interest payments, based on the
certificate balance of MXN$156.2 million, and the sources
available to ultimately amortize the certificates (including the
reserve account funds of MXN$110.0 million, the PCG of up to
MXN$72 million, and the outstanding pool balance of
MXN$114.3 million).
Rating Action
The complete rating action is:
Originator and Servicer: Hipotecaria Credito y Casa, S.A. de C.V.,
Sociedad Financiera de Objeto Limitado.
Issuer: Banco Invex, S.A., Institucion de Banca Multiple, Invex
Grupo Financiero, acting solely in its capacity as trustee.
-- CREYCB 08 Certificates, downgraded to Baa1.mx from A1.mx
(National Scale) and to B1 from Ba2 (Global Scale, Local
Currency).
The last rating action occurred on January 5, 2010, when the
certificates were downgraded to A1.mx from Aa3.mx and to Ba2 from
Baa3.

DOE RUN PERU: Peru Braces for Standoff
--------------------------------------
Police and military officers fanned out along a key highway into
Lima to prevent it from being overrun by anti-government strikers
protesting in support of their employer, US mining firm Doe Run,
Times Live reports.
According to the report, Interior Minister Octavio Salazar said
2,000 police officers and 500 troops will stand guard over a
10-kilometer (six-mile) stretch of Highway 20 linking Lima and La
Oroya, 185 kilometers (115 miles) to the east, where Doe Run's
mining facilities are located. The report relates that workers at
the factory are planning to go on indefinite strike to compel the
government to push back a July 15 deadline it has imposed on Doe
Run to comply with new environmental regulations.
Prime Minister Javier Velazquez, the report notes, said that the
strike by Doe Run workers is intended to "pressure the government
to accept the company's conditions for resuming operations. The
report says that Mr. Velasquez accused Doe Run of resorting to
"blackmail" by inciting its workers to side with the company's
demand for a deadline extension so it can adapt the facility to
stricter, anti-pollution regulations.
Mr. Velazquez, the report discloses, said that the government
would hold Doe Run responsible "for all acts of violence that may
occur" during the strike, and accused the local miners' union of
supporting the U.S. Company's stance against the government.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
April 30, 2010, Mining Weekly said that Doe Run Peru been given
until end of July to prepare for a restart of its La Oroya
smelter, but the government of Peru warned that there would be
penalties if the new deadline is not met. According to a TCRLA
report on January 26, 2010, Bloomberg News said that Doe Run Peru
is "close" to reaching an agreement on US$156 million of debt to
reopen its zinc and lead smelter. The report recalled that Doe
Run Peru filed for a government-monitored financial restructuring
because it was worried creditors might try to freeze its assets or
operations. Reuters related that Doe Run Peru owes some US$100
million to its suppliers and needs to spend another US$150 million
to clean up La Oroya.
About Doe Run Peru
Doe Run Company operates an integrated primary lead operation and
a recycling operation located in Missouri, referred to as Buick

fabrication operation located in Arizona and a lead oxide

* CARIBBEAN: IFC Helps Banks Increase Small Business Access
-----------------------------------------------------------
IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is helping bankers develop
their operations and provide financial services to improve access
to finance for small and medium enterprises in the Caribbean.
IFC, in collaboration with the government of Japan, the
Commonwealth Secretariat, and the Canadian International
Development Agency, is training bankers on building sustainable
small and medium banking operations in Port of Spain from June 8
to June 11. The training program covers strategy and market
segmentation, product design, credit risk management, and
information management systems. It also includes a training-of-
trainers component that will ensure sustainability of the training
offering in local markets beyond IFC's workshop.
More than 30 bankers and trainers from 17 institutions
representing 10 countries in the Caribbean are participating in
the event, which is part of a training program developed by IFC's
Global SME Banking Program to help banks in emerging markets
assess the potential benefits of targeting the small business
sector and to build or expand this line of business.
"This training is just one of IFC's interventions that will help
Caribbean financial institutions develop and expand their services
to underserved small and medium enterprises," said Ignacio
Estevez, an IFC Senior Banking Specialist.
Small and medium enterprises are a major driver of economic growth
and job creation. Yet they often lack access to finance,
especially in developing countries. IFC, through its Global SME
Banking Program, provides capacity building to financial
institutions on how to develop sound operations for small
businesses and increase their access to financial products and
services.
Ewart Williams, Governor of Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago,
said, "We want to strengthen small business development by
encouraging financial institutions to support the needs of SMEs,
and we also are supporting small businesses in a number of other
ways such as this training."
The Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean
Community Secretariat have endorsed and provided support for the
training. IFC also has conducted similar training in Sub-Saharan
Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East and North Africa.

***********
Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-LA 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-LA constitutes an offer
or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind. It is
likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds
some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities
about which we report.
Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies
with insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on
the latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication. 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.
A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Thursday's edition of the TCR-LA. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged. Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com
