NET SERVICOS: 2nd Quarter Net Revenue Up 19% to BRL1.3 Billion
--------------------------------------------------------------
Net Servicos de Comunicacao S.A. posted its second quarter of 2010
results.
The company's net revenue was BRL1.31 billion in 2Q10, growing by
19% from BRL1.1 billion in 2Q09, basically driven by the larger
subscriber base for all services provided by NET.
Operating Costs amounted to BRL620.1 million in the quarter,
increasing by 11% from BRL556.3 million in 2Q09, though declining
as a percentage of net revenue to 47.3%. The increase mainly
reflects the higher costs with programming, higher Internet access
bandwidth consumption and call center services.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses totaled R$303.1
million in the quarter, up 23% from BRL245.6 million in the same
period of 2009. Selling expenses rose as a result of the higher
expenses with initiatives to boost sales of higher value-added
products, telecom services due to the higher average duration of
calls and diversification of media and sales channels to leverage
opportunities related to the 2010 FIFA World Cup. General and
Administrative expenses were BRL170.9 million in the quarter,
mainly due to the higher expenses with IT services to improve
platforms and systems, which are related to the quality of
customer services.
EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization) was BRL374.9 million in 2Q10, growing by 30% from
BRL287.4 million in 2Q09, in line with the business plan to grow
organically while maintaining margins that are consistent with
this growth. EBITDA margin was 29% in 2Q10.
Capex totaled BRL316.2 million in 2Q10, and the majority was
variable, mainly allocated to acquire equipment and subscriber
installation, both of which are related to household acquisition.
Additionally in the quarter, NET began to execute its network and
bidirectional coverage expansion project.
In June 2010, the Company launched new internet connection speeds
and now offers speeds of 5Mb, 10Mb, 20Mb, 50Mb and 100Mb, besides
the entry level speeds. This made the combined offering of Pay
TV, Broadband and Voice services even more attractive and
competitive, demonstrating NET's leadership and innovation in the
market.
As a result of the strategy initiated at the end of last year, NET
achieved solid results in its efforts to sell Pay TV packages that
include high-definition channels and high-value-added content.
The Company's organic growth resumed a positive trend, with growth
in Pay TV net additions accelerating in relation to the last few
quarters. Pay TV subscriber base ended 2Q10 with 3,883,000
clients, increasing by 107,000 or 12% from 3,480,000 at the end of
2Q09. Broadband base totaled 3,100,000 clients at the end of
2Q10, up 19% from 2,605,000 in 2Q09. There were 2,765,000 fixed
lines in service at the end of 2Q10, up 21% from 2,286,000 lines
at the end of 2Q09.

REDE ENERGIA: Moody's Raises Ratings on Perpetual Bonds to 'Caa3'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's upgraded Rede Energia S.A's US$497 million perpetual bonds
to Caa3 from Ca at the same time that it affirmed Rede's corporate
family rating at Caa1. Moody's also affirmed the B3 issuer
ratings on Rede's operating subsidiaries and maintained the
negative outlook for all ratings within the Rede group.
The rating upgrade to Caa3 from Ca on the perpetual bonds follows
the recent announcement by Rede's management that Empresa de
Energia Vale do Paranapanema, a major shareholder, will capitalize
Rede by BRL600 million expected to occur within the next two
months. This partial recapitalization follows the successful
issuance of 5-year BRL370 million debentures in December whose
proceeds were used to refinance the BRL320 million of short-term
borrowed in mid-2009 to support the company's tender offer for its
US$575 million perpetual bonds and the redemption of more
expensive short-term debt which provide some additional financial
flexibility.
FI-FGTS, an investment fund managed by the Brazilian Federal Bank
Caixa Econ“mica Federal, signed an agreement to acquire around 35%
of EEVP's total capital for BRL 600 million. These resources will
not be used to reduce Rede's debt but will rather be transferred
to two of Rede's major operating subsidiaries, Centrais Eletricas
do Para S.A. and Empresa Energetica do Mato Grosso do Sul.
CELPA is expected to receive around BRL530 million to help the
company meet its aggressive capital expenditures program estimated
to cost over BRL1 billion over the next few years. The goals of
the investment program are to reduce energy losses from the
current 29% to around 24%, meet the regulator's parameters for
service quality, and also to expand the distribution
infrastructure in the face of growing demand in the state of Para.
The remaining BRL70 million will be used to capitalize Enersul.
While the BRL600 million capitalization will not have an immediate
impact on Rede's liquidity position, Moody's believes this move
could be an important step toward Rede's financial turnaround
insofar as it provides its operating subsidiaries with a better
debt profile and stronger capital structure. Should Rede's
management successfully streamline CELPA's cost structure and
increase productivity as planned, CELPA will undoubtedly post
higher cash generation and, as result, resume the distribution of
dividends in the medium-term horizon.
The negative outlook derives from Moody's views that up-streamed
dividends from the operating subsidiaries will not suffice for
Rede to completely fulfill its debt service obligations, which
will lead to further refinancing and eventually more debt at the
holding company level.
Most of Rede's operating subsidiaries face cash flow constraints
either because of sizeable debt or high capital expenditures,
which prevents these companies from increasing the distribution of
dividends to a level more compatible with the cash needs of their
holding company parent. As stated in previous reports, Moody's
deems the level of debt at the holding company unsustainable and
believes that some kind of additional equity arrangement will be
necessary in the short-term. Management appears to be aware of
this. Moody's will review any new corporate structure stemming
from management's possible revised financial strategy and will
evaluate its impact on the company's financial condition.
Ratings with negative outlook include:
* Caa1/Caa1.br Corporate Family Ratings for Rede Energia S.A.
* Caa3 Senior Unsecured rating for Rede's US$497 million perpetual
bonds
* B3/B1.br Issuer Ratings for Centrais Eletricas do Para S.A.
* B3/B1.br Issuer Ratings for Centrais Eletricas Mato-grossenses
S.A.
* B3/B1.br Issuer Ratings for Comp. de Ener. Eletr. do Est. do
Tocantins
The last rating action for Rede was on July 1, 2009, when Moody's
downgraded to Ca from Caa3 the senior unsecured US$575 million
perpetual bonds. At the same time, Moody's confirmed Rede's Caa1
local currency corporate family rating and assigned a negative
outlook. In addition, Moody's confirmed the issuer ratings for
Rede's operating companies, and changed their outlooks to negative
as well.
Rede Energia S.A., headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil, is a
holding company with interests in electricity distribution and
generation. Through majority-owned subsidiaries Companhia de
Energia Eletrica do Estado do Tocantins - Celtins, Centrais
Eletricas Matogrossenses S.A. - Cemat, Centrais Eletricas do Para
S.A. - Celpa and Empresa Energ. do Mato Grosso Sul -- Enersul, the
group operates concessions to distribute electricity in the states
of Tocantins, Mato Grosso, Para and Mato Grosso do Sul,
respectively. In addition, Rede operates small power distribution
concessions in a number of municipalities in the states of Sao
Paulo, Minas Gerais and Paran . Overall, the group serves
approximately 4.2 million clients. In the last twelve months
ended March 31, 2010, Rede reported consolidated net revenues of
BRL5.2 billion (US$2.8 billion) and distributed 18.4 TWh of
electricity, which is equivalent to approximately 4.6% of the
electricity consumed in the country's national integrated system
during this period.
ULTRAPAR PARTICIPACOES: CADE Okays Acquisition of Texaco Assets
---------------------------------------------------------------
Iuri Dantas at Bloomberg News reports that Ultrapar Participacoes
SA's acquisition of Texaco-branded gas stations in Brazil was
unanimously approved by the nation's antitrust agency, Cade.
Ultrapar Participacoes acquired stakes from Chevron Brasil Ltd.
and Galena in a BRL1.16 billion-real deal, Cade spokesman Aldo
Renato told the news agency in a telephone interview.
Headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Ultrapar Participacoes S.A.
(NYSE: UGP) (BOVESPA: UGPA4) is a company with two main
operations: LPG distribution (through its fully-owned subsidiary
Ultragaz Participacoes Ltda.) and chemical production (through its
also fully-owned subsidiary Oxiteno S.A.). A third smaller but
growing business is the transportation and storage of chemicals
and fuels, Ultracargo Operacoes Logisticas e Participacoes Ltda.,
which completes Ultrapar's business portfolio and reinforces the
trend for further business diversity in the long run.

existing clients, advertising or soliciting its activities and
withdrawing and transferring the property of the company.

misrepresented to it the total of its funds under management and
its corresponding liabilities, the report relates.

cent of capital to total asset ratio, and 10 per cent of capital
to risk weighted assets ratio. However, the report relates the

NATIONAL COMMERCIAL: Records JM$2.76BB Profit in Third Fiscal Qtr.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Alicia Roache at Jamaica Observer reports that the National
Commercial Bank Group reported a JM$2.76 billion third quarter
profit, a marginal JM$42 million increase over the corresponding
period last year. The report relates that the performance of the
Group was affected by the Jamaica Debt Exchange, concluded March
2010, in which the Government of Jamaica exchanged its high
interest bearing instruments for those with lower yields and
longer maturities.
According to the report, NCB participated 100% in the initiative
which resulted in a reduction in net interest income for the
Group. However, the report relates, with a 36% reduction in
interest expense to offset the losses, the Group managed to show
an increase of three per cent or JM$156.6 million in its net
interest income over the corresponding quarters.
The report notes that Dennis Cohen, NCB deputy group managing
director noted that the June 2010 quarter is the first period in
which the full impact of the JDX reflected on the performance of
the firm. Also affecting performance, he said, is the revaluation
of the Jamaica dollar relative to its US counterpart -- its major
trading partner, the report relates.
The Observer says that fee and commission income also increased
over corresponding quarters as well. The report relates that net
fee and commission income increased 24% from JM$1.16 billion at
June 2009 to the corresponding quarter of 2010. Yvonne Clarke,
group chief financial officer, the report notes, said that 50% of
the Bank's fee income is transaction driven and earned from its
card business.
Operating income, the report discloses, increased by 3%, along
with operating expenses, 12.7%, quarter on quarter. Among the
factors outlined for the increased costs were the reduction in
spreads following the JDX, the restructuring exercise undertaken
by the group earlier this year, the increase in the base cost, the
inflation rate and fuel prices, the report notes.
The Observer says that staff costs increased 12% from JM$1.8
billion in June 2009, to JM$2.1 billion at quarter ended June 2010
as a result of the redundancy and restructuring exercise which saw
significant payouts to the displaced staff. However, these costs
have begun to decline from the March 2010 quarter, at which point
staff costs were JM$2.6 billion, the report adds.

---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Stuart M. Bernstein denied a request by Controladora Comercial
Mexicana SAB for a temporary restraining order on lawsuits and
creditor actions in the U.S. The bankruptcy judge however

for an injunction after creditors have had more time to respond.
According to the report, Judge Bernstein also scheduled a hearing
for Aug. 19 where Controladora will ask the judge to declare that
the reorganization proceedings in Mexico meet the standards
demanded in Chapter 15. If Judge Bernstein finds that Mexico is
properly home to the "foreign main proceeding," the creditors'
suits in the U.S. will be halted automatically. Chapter 15
doesn't have an automatic stay like Chapters 11 or 7.

commercial bank creditors will exchange their current claims for a
share of a new debt, and noteholders will get a portion of new
bonds, some denominated in U.S. dollars, others in pesos.

CEMEX SAB: 2Q Results Could Mark Start of a Turnaround
------------------------------------------------------
Anthony Harrup at Dow Jones Newswire reports that the second
quarter of 2010 could mark a turning point CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.,
after several years of earnings declines that led the company to
refinance its heavy debt load and slim down its operations. Cemex
SAB is expected to report sales of US$3.68 billion for the April-
June period, according to the median estimate of five equities
analysts consulted by Dow Jones Newswires. The report relates
that in the year-ago quarter, Cemex SAB had sales of US$4.2
billion.
According to the report, Deutsche Bank estimated that revenue will
be down 5% adjusting for the Australia sale, and up 20% from the
first quarter of this year. "In our view, Cemex's [second
quarter] results should start to signal the stabilization of the
company's operations," Deutsche Bank said in a report obtained by
the news agency. "Top line results should be driven by a solid
pace of Mexico's housing sector...and by a pick-up in U.S.
infrastructure spending," the bank added.
Dow Jones Newswires notes that Cemex's operating cash flow,
measured by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (Ebitda), is estimated to come in at US$678 million
for the second quarter, compared with US$812 million a year ago,
or US$761 million excluding Australia. Net profit is estimated
to fall to US$109 million from US$187 million a year ago, the
report adds.

MEXICANA AIRLINE: Under Pressure; Fails to Meet Debt Obligations
----------------------------------------------------------------
Darren Shannon at Aviation Daily reports that Compania Mexicana de
Aviacion, S.A. de C.V. is coming under pressure from creditors
after failing to meet debt obligations, including some aircraft
lease payments.
According to the report, unnamed sources with close ties to
Mexican aviation said the carrier has struggled to recover the
economic downturn and the dramatic effects on demand caused by the
H1N1 influenza scare in early 2009.
The report notes that the full state of Mexicana's predicament is
unclear as the company is privately owned and does not have to
release financial data publicly. However, the report relates that
several sources said that creditors have questioned data Mexicana
must provide lenders, while others note that debt payments have
been missed.
An unnamed source said that aircraft lease payments is one of the
main concerns, although opinion is divided as to the status of
these payments. The report relates that some think the contracts
may be defaulted, while others hold that the payments are just
late.
One source, the report notes, also says Mexicana is considering a
court-protected debt restructuring, while another says a review of
the carrier's financial health will not come until after the peak
summer season.

VITRO SAB: Presents Revised Proposal for Debt Restructuring
-----------------------------------------------------------
Vitro S.A.B. de C.V. said that members of the Finance and Planning
Committee of the Company met again with representatives from the
Company's Ad Hoc Bondholder Committee in New York City.
During the meeting, the Company presented a revised
counterproposal and outlined its envision process for reaching a
consensual restructuring agreement. The cornerstone of the
Company's consensual approach to the market is a broad creditor
outreach effort in the form of a consent solicitation for a debt
restructuring. The Company expects that it will be in a position
to formally launch the Consent in the market by early August 2010.
Vitro believes that the Consent will assure the medium and long
term sustainability of the Company, significantly enhancing the
worthiness of its restructured debt.
Vitro also believes that the Consent that will be submitted,
represents a higher recovery than the average market price for the
last six months of the senior notes due 2012, 2013 and 2017.
The Company intends to continue to negotiate with the Ad Hoc
Bondholder Committee in an effort to secure their support of the
Consent in advance of its launch but there can be no assurances
that such support will be achieved. Finally, Vitro remains
committed to a consensual restructuring process and is working
diligently on finalizing and launching its Consent as quickly as
possible.

deadline for the results, Mexico's stock exchange said in an
e-mailed statement obtained by the news agency. Vitro plans to
file the report once its debt restructuring is complete or if
ordered by a judge. Vitro said that the suspension won't affect
company operations.
In June 30, 2009, Galaz, Yamazaki, Ruiz Urquiza, S.C., member of
Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and C.P.C. Jorge Alberto Villarreal in
Monterrey, N.L., Mexico raised substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern after auditing
financial results for the period ended Dec. 31, 2007, and 2008.
The auditors pointed out to the Company's net loss and its non-
compliance with covenants related to its long-term debt
obligations.

***********
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
