LOMA NEGRA: S&P Raises Ratings to 'B+'; Gives Stable Outlook
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it raised the local
and foreign currency global scale ratings on Loma Negra C.I.A.S.A.
to 'B+' from 'B' and removed them from CreditWatch with positive
implications, where they were placed on Sept. 15, 2010.  The
outlook is stable.

The rating action mainly reflects its perception that a more
favorable scenario for companies in Argentina (strong economic
growth, financially healthier sovereign, and favorable external
conditions) has enhanced Loma Negra's financial profile and
increased cash flows and growth prospects, which should help the
company better withstand a potentially more complex political
environment during 2011.  S&P believes Loma Negra is in better
shape to face post-election uncertainty.

"S&P's rating on Argentina-based cement producer Loma Negra
reflects the company's exposure to swings in Argentina's economy,
the inherent volatility of the cement industry, its limited
product and geographic diversification, and its exposure to
currency mismatch and inflation risks," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Luciano Gremone.  The company's good market
position as the largest cement producer in Argentina in terms of
market share and installed capacity, and its competitive cost
structure arising from its convenient access to raw materials and
logistic integration partially mitigate these factors.  S&P assess
Loma Negra's business risk profile as vulnerable and its financial
risk profile as aggressive.  The rating also incorporates its
expectation that Loma Negra's main shareholder, Camargo Correa
Cimentos S.A. (BB/Negative/--), would provide support if necessary
because of Loma Negra's strategic importance.  Currently, Camargo
guarantees approximately 85% of Loma Negra's debt.  These positive
factors should enable the company to maintain adequate
profitability and cash flow generation.

S&P's 'B+' corporate credit rating on Loma Negra is one notch
higher than its stand-alone credit quality, one notch above its
ratings on the Republic of Argentina (B/Stable/B), and one notch
higher than its 'B' transfer and convertibility risk assessment on
the sovereign, all as a result of its consideration of Loma
Negra's operating performance, financial health, and strategic fit
with Camargo.

As of Sept. 30, 2010, Loma Negra exhibited a minor deterioration
in its financial measures, with annualized consolidated debt-to-
EBITDA and EBITDA interest coverage of 1.7x and 5.8x,
respectively, from 1.4x and 6.7x in fiscal 2009 (ended Aug. 31).
This was mainly a result of the $125 million loan the company
obtained in December 2009 from the Inter-American Development Bank
(fully guaranteed by Camargo) to finance capital expenditures and
to pay off short-term debt.  A better debt maturity schedule
partially mitigated the increase in leverage.

S&P expects Loma Negra to be able to maintain EBITDA interest
coverage above 5x and an FFO-to-total debt ratio of more than 30%.
Historically, Loma Negra has featured a relatively moderate
capital structure, with an average debt-to-capitalization ratio of
50% and a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 1.6x for the last three years.

Loma Negra's liquidity position is adequate, with cash holdings of
US$75.4 million and short-term debt of US$44.6 million as of
Sept. 30, 2010.  During 2010, Loma Negra made dividend payments of
US$65 million, reflecting its good cash generation and manageable
maturity schedule.  Ferrosur (a Loma Negra subsidiary) borrowed
US$31 million that was used to cancel short-term debt, resulting
in an improvement in its consolidated debt.  About 85% of the
company's consolidated debt is denominated in U.S. dollars, while
almost all cash is generated in Argentine pesos.  Derivative
hedges and the full Camargo's full guarantee on the U.S. dollar-
denominated debt mitigate this currency mismatch risk.

S&P expects the company's good cash generation, financial
flexibility, and likely shareholder support if needed to mitigate
the increased capital expenditures and potential cash
disbursements related to penalties in the Argentinean cement
industry.  In July 2005, the Argentinean antitrust authority, the
National Competition Defense Commission, assessed penalties
against the country's cement companies in response to
anticompetitive practices aimed at fixing prices and market share.
Loma has appealed its fine, which originally amounted to
Argentinean pesos (ARP)167.2 million (about $45 million).  In
October 2009, the CNDC demanded collection of the penalty.
However, Loma Negra claimed that legal actions were continuing.

The stable outlook is based on its view of Loma Negra's strategic
importance to Camargo.  It also reflects its belief that Camargo
will continue to have sufficient economic incentives to support
its Argentinean operations, even under a severe sovereign default
scenario.  S&P might lower the ratings if S&P believes that
shareholder support for Loma Negra has changed and/or if the
company's financial policy becomes too aggressive because of
higher-than-expected nonguaranteed debt or dividends.  Any ratings
upgrade is currently unlikely because of the company's operational
concentration in Argentina's still challenging business
environment.


TARJETA NARANJA: Fitch Assigns 'B' Issuer Default Ratings
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned long- and short-term foreign currency
Issuer Default Ratings of 'B' and 'B' to Argentina's Tarjeta
Naranja S.A.  The Rating Outlook assigned to the long-term IDR is
Stable.  In addition, Fitch expects to assign a long-term foreign
currency rating of 'B', Recovery Rating of 'RR4' and National
long-term Rating of 'AA(arg)' to TN's upcoming class XIII
unsubordinated fixed-rate notes of up to a maximum of US$200
million.

Fitch has also affirmed TN's ratings:

  -- Long-term local currency IDR at 'B';

  -- Short-term local currency IDR at 'B';

  -- National long-term Rating at 'AA(arg)';

  -- National short-term Rating at 'A1+(arg)';

  -- Individual rating at 'D';

  -- Support rating at '5';

  -- Unsubordinated fixed-rate notes totaling US$100 million long-
     term local currency rating 'B/RR4' and National long-term
     rating at 'AA(arg)';

  -- Unsubordinated fixed-rate notes totaling US$50 million
     National long-term rating at 'AA(arg)';

  -- Short-term notes totaling ARS120 million National short-term
     rating of at 'A1+(arg)'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

TN's ratings reflect its strong growth, sound historical
profitability, liquidity and asset quality, and satisfactory
capital base.  They also take into account the potentially
volatile operating environment in Argentina.  Despite TN's stand-
alone strength, the country's low Sovereign Rating puts
significant pressure on the ratings of most Argentine issuers.

TN's sound profitability is based on strong revenue generation and
growth, adequate cost efficiency and healthy asset quality.  Fitch
expects TN's profitability to remain robust in 2011 as, in Fitch's
view, the economic environment is set to remain benign.

TN's lending has grown significantly in recent years.  Strong
growth resumed in 2010 after a slowdown in 2009.  Its asset
quality ratios have historically been very good, based on
conservative credit limits and good scoring systems.  At Sept. 30,
2010, its non-performing loans accounted for 3.45% of total loans
and were fully reserved.  Fitch expects TN's asset quality ratios
to remain healthy, based on the company's sound risk management
approach and the good outlook for the economy in 2011.

TN's liquidity is strong, supported by the short-term nature of
its lending.  Its liquid assets represented 1.35 times its short-
term liabilities at Sept. 30, 2010.  In addition, it has had
access to funds from the capital markets through bond issuance,
interbank lending and loan securitizations.  Exposure to foreign
currency risk is low.

TN's capital base is ample, with an equity/assets ratio of 24.82%
at Sept. 30, 2010.  Despite the significant growth of its assets,
the company's strong internal capital generation has allowed it to
maintain satisfactory capital.

TN was established in 1985 in the Province of Cordoba.  Since 1996
it has expanded significantly and now operates in most of the
country.  At Sept. 30, 2010 TN had about 4.4 million credit cards
and 163 branches and commercial offices.

TN is 80% owned by Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires, the third
largest private sector bank in Argentina by deposits.


TELECOM PERSONAL: S&P Withdraws 'B+' Corporate Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it withdrew its 'B+'
local and 'B' foreign currency long-term corporate credit ratings
on Argentine mobile player Telecom Personal S.A. at the company's
request.  TP has paid all of its capital-market debt.

TP is an Argentina-based operator that has licenses to provide
wireless communication services in Argentina and is one of three
operators in the country.  TP, through Nucleo S.A., is also a
leading player in the mobile market in Paraguay.


TRANSPORTADORA DE GAS: Fitch Affirms 'D' Issuer Default Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Transportadora de Gas del Norte's
ratings:

  -- Foreign and Local Currency Issuer Default ratings at 'D';

  -- National long-term rating at 'D(arg)';

  -- US$250 million notes series A at 'CC/RR5'; national scale
     rating at 'D(arg)';

  -- US$250 million notes series B at 'CC/RR5'; national scale
     rating at 'D(arg)';

  -- US$300 million medium-term note program at 'CC/RR5'; national
     scale rating at 'D(arg)';

  -- Equity national scale rating at 'Level 4'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

The rating of the US$ 247.3 million expected notes issuance will
remain the same at 'CCC(exp)/RR4'; national scale rating at
'BB(arg)'.  Its issuance has yet to be finalized until the
restructuring process is closed.

TGN's foreign and local currency IDRs of 'D' reflect the
suspension of principal and interest payments on US$345 million of
debt by the company on Dec. 23, 2008.  Although TGN has reached
the consent to restructure its debt with 88% of the bondholders
and has initiated the court procedure (Acuerdo Preventivo
Extrajudicial) to proceed with the debt restructuring, the process
has not been finalized.  Fitch expects to upgrade TGN's local and
foreign currency IDRs to 'CCC' upon completion of the debt
restructuring.

The 'CC' rating of the 2012 notes reflects the expectation of
below-average recovery prospects given default; the 'RR5'
indicates a probability of recovery of 11%-30% of current
principal and related interest.

The 'CCC/RR4' expected rating of the new US$247.3 million seven-
year notes offered in the restructuring process reflect a moderate
improvement in TGN's debt profile following such restructuring.
The 'RR4' indicates a recovery prospect of 31% - 50%, and reflects
a debt reduction by US$ 100 million following the restructuring.
During years one through four, cash interest payments will be low
at 3.5%.  When principal amortizations begin in year five, absent
any tariff increase or any other factor that favors TGN's cash
flow, cash generation will most likely be negative, adding
pressure to the company's credit quality.

There have been no significant advances in the APE procedure which
should approve the debt restructuring agreed between TGN and 88%
of its bondholders.  The efforts by the government and various
parties to prevent the finalization of the restructuring agreement
further heighten risk for creditors.  The time of the
restructuring remains uncertain.  First, the APE court will need
to issue the initial endorsement approving the restructuring
agreement.  After such endorsement is issued, TGN will restructure
the outstanding debt held by consenting creditor and restructure
the remaining outstanding debt at a later date in accordance with
the final endorsement.  The state owned institutional investor,
ANSES, is amongst the non-consenting creditors.  Should the debt
be restructured as proposed, following such restructuring TGN
would reduced its outstanding debt by US$100 million to US$247.3
million.

Since 2002, the company's cash generation has been negatively
impacted by continued frozen tariffs, reduction in export
revenues, and increases in its cost structure and peso
devaluation; many of these negative operating factors are expected
to continue to adversely impact the company's operating
performance over the next several years.  Since the suspension of
principal and interest payments, TGN has been building cash which
reached US$ 111 million in September 2010, which would most likely
be used to restructure the debt or finance working capital needs.
Such cash positions provide the company some cushion to cover
operating expenses and capex, while it continues to wait for a
tariff review.

TGN is one of the two largest transporters of natural gas in
Argentina, delivering approximately 40% of the country's total gas
consumption.  TGN has an exclusive license to operate the northern
Argentina gas pipeline system for a term of 35 years, which may be
extended for an additional 10-year period.  The Argentine
government has intervened into TGN's administration since December
2008.  The designated government's interventor is responsible for
supervising all actions related to the public service.  TGN's main
shareholders are Gasinvest S.A. (56.35%) and Blue Ridge
Investments LLC (23.53%), while 20% is floating in the market.
Gasinvest S.A. is in turn owned by TecPetrol Internacional SL
(27.2%), Transcogas Inversora S.A. (22.3%), Total Gas y
Electricidad Argentina S.A (20.6%), Petronas Argentina S.A(18.3%).
Total Gasandes (6.6%), and Compania General de Combustibles S.A.
(5%).

BERNARD L. MADOFF: Swiss Bank to Pay Up to US$500MM to Victims
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press reports that a private Swiss bank has agreed
to pay up to US$500 million to investors defrauded by Bernard L.
Madoff.

Trustee Irving H. Picard said that he reached an agreement with
Geneva-based bank Union Bancaire Privee, and M-Invest Ltd., a
corporation the bank set up in the Cayman Islands to invest with
Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, according to The
Associated Press.  The report relates Mr. Picard said that the
settlement is for no less than US$470 million in cash and could
reach US$500 million.

The deal was submitted for approval with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of New York. A hearing was scheduled for
January 6, 2010, The AP notes.

                   About Bernard L. Madoff

Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC and Bernard L. Madoff
orchestrated the largest Ponzi scheme in history, with losses
topping US$50 billion.

On December 15, 2008, the Honorable Louis A. Stanton of the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the
application of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation for
a decree adjudicating that the customers of BLMIS are in need of
the protection afforded by the Securities Investor Protection Act
of 1970.  The District Court's Protective Order (i) appointed
Irving H. Picard, Esq., as trustee for the liquidation of BLMIS,
(ii) appointed Baker & Hostetler LLP as his counsel, and (iii)
removed the SIPA Liquidation proceeding to the Bankruptcy Court
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Adv. Pro. No. 08-01789) (Lifland, J.).  Mr.
Picard has retained AlixPartners LLP as claims agent.

On April 13, 2009, former BLMIS clients filed an involuntary
Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition against Bernard Madoff (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. 09-11893).  The case is before Hon. Burton Lifland.  The
petitioning creditors -- Blumenthal & Associates Florida General
Partnership, Martin Rappaport Charitable Remainder Unitrust,
Martin Rappaport, Marc Cherno, and Steven Morganstern -- assert
US$64 million in claims against Mr. Madoff based on the balances
contained in the last statements they got from BLMIS.

On April 14, 2009, Grant Thornton UK LLP as receiver placed Madoff
Securities International Limited in London under bankruptcy
protection pursuant to Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
(Bankr. S.D. Fla. 09-16751).

The Chapter 15 case was later transferred to Manhattan.  In June
2009, Judge Lifland approved the consolidation of the Madoff SIPA
proceedings and the bankruptcy case.

Judge Denny Chin of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York on June 29, 2009, sentenced Mr. Madoff to
150 years of life imprisonment for defrauding investors in United
States v. Madoff, No. 09-CR-213 (S.D.N.Y.)

As of October 29, 2010, a total of US$5.69 billion in claims by
investors has been allowed, with US$741.2 million to be paid by
the Securities Investor Protection Corp.  Investors are expected
to receive additional distributions from money recovered by
Mr. Picard from lawsuits or settlements.

FIRST FINANCIAL: Placed Under Administration by TCI High Court
--------------------------------------------------------------
Jamaica Observer reports that in response to a request by the
Turks & Caicos Islands Financial Services Commission, the Supreme
Court of Turks & Caicos Islands has now appointed an administrator
over the First Financial Caribbean Trust Company, the entity whose
control was seized by former employee Judith Wilchcombe in April
2010, on the basis of allegations and counter-allegations
concerning the assets and operations of the Trust company, the FSC
in the Turks and Caicos Islands has stepped in.

"We support the move to have an administrator manage the company,"
Jamaica Observer quoted First Financial Group Head Delroy Howell,
as saying.  "This removes the ability of Judith Wilchcombe to
continue any dissipation of company assets," she added.

Under Ms. Wilchcombe's control, the Trust Company brought
proceedings in Jamaica against First Financial founder and head
Delroy Howell, Kenarthur Mitchell, and several First Financial
Caribbean companies, claiming misuse of the Trust's assets, the
report notes.

Jamaica Observer says that Ms. Wilchcombe's action resulted in a
freezing order initially in the sum of US$13.9 million.  After
hearing the parties in the matter, the Supreme Court in Jamaica
discharged the injunctions against Mr. Howell, Mr. Mitchell and
two of the other companies, and left it in place against only
First Financial Caribbean Jamaica Limited and First Financial
Caribbean Limited, at a reduced figure of US$1.7million, the
report relates.

After bitter litigation, the case is now in the Court of Appeal in
Jamaica, where a temporary injunction has increased the amount
frozen from US$1.7million to US$3.6 million, pending the hearing
of appeals in the matter, Jamaica Observer discloses.

Jamaica Observer notes that Ms. Wilchcombe has admitted in court
affidavit to have breached an Order of the Jamaican Supreme Court
requiring her to hold in a deposit account some US$645,000, and
not to deal with those monies in any way.  She has admitted
spending some US$432,000 of that sum, the report relates.

Confirming his support for the FSC in the Turks and Caicos, and to
preclude any further losses of the Trust company's assets as have
been admitted to by Ms. Wilchcombe, Mr. Howell said, "I will
cooperate with the Administrator appointed and will also be making
early contact with the FSC with a view to giving all assistance
that may be requested," Jamaica Observer adds.

First Financial Caribbean Trust Company is headquartered in Town
Centre Building, Town Centre, Providenciales, Turks & Caicos
Islands.

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
