SAGECREST II: Mgt. & Committee Plan Outline Hearing on Feb. 15
--------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut has
continued to February 15, 2011, at 10:00 a.m., the hearing on the
Disclosure Statement explaining the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of
Liquidation filed by SageCrest II, LLC, SageCrest Finance, LLC,
SageCrest Holdings Limited, SageCrest Dixon, Inc., and the
Official Committee of Equity Security Holders.
Generally, the Plan provides that SC Management, a new entity
created under the Plan, will liquidate the Debtors' assets in an
orderly fashion over roughly four years and distribute the net
proceeds to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests in the
priority prescribed by the Bankruptcy Code and according to the
specific provisions of the Plan.
The Plan proposes the following treatment for the various claims
and interests in the Debtors:
Class 1. Non-Tax Priority Claims. Unimpaired. Holders of Class 1
Claims will receive, (y) Cash in an amount equal to the
Allowed amount of its Non-Tax Priority Claim, or (z) such
other, less favorable treatment as may be agreed upon in
writing. To the extent an Allowed Non-Tax Priority Claim
entitled to priority treatment under 11 U.S.C. Sections
507(a)(4) or (5) exceeds the statutory cap applicable to
such Claim, such excess amount will be treated as a Class
6 General Unsecured Claim against the relevant Debtor.
Class 2. Secured Tax Claims. Unimpaired. With respect to any
Allowed Secured Tax Claim for tax years prior to 2009, the
Holder of such Allowed Secured Tax Claim will receive (x)
Cash equal to the value of its Allowed Secured Tax
Claim, including interest, (y) the Collateral securing the
Allowed Secured Tax Claim, or (z) such other, less
favorable treatment as may be agreed upon in writing. The
Holder of a Secured Tax Claim for ad valorem taxes for any
tax year from 2009 and thereafter will retain all rights
and remedies for payment thereof in accordance with
applicable non-bankruptcy law.
Class 3. Deutsche Bank Secured Claims. Impaired. The DB Secured
Claims against SC Finance and SC Holdings are separately
classified in Class 3A (Estimated Amount: US$7,369,464.73,
plus interest, costs and fees) and Class 3B
(US$100,160,583.15, plus interest, costs and fees),
respectively. Deutsche Bank will receive, on or as soon
as practicable after the later of the Effective Date of
the Plan or the Allowance Date with respect to the DB
Secured Claims: (i) property of the Debtors that is the
indubitable equivalent of all or a portion of such Allowed
Claims; and/or (ii) the DB Promissory Note, which will be
issued by SC Finance, SC II, SC Holdings, SCFR, SC Limited
and SC Management in the principal amount of the Allowed
DB Secured Claims less an amount equal to the value of the
property of the Debtors, if any, that is transferred to
Deutsche Bank pursuant to the foregoing clause (i). The
Plan Supplement will identify the property of the Debtors,
if any, to be transferred to Deutsche Bank pursuant to the
foregoing clause (i), the value of such property as of the
Effective Date, and the principal amount of the DB
Promissory Note, and the Plan Supplement will include the
form of the DB Promissory Note.
On or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following the
last day of each calendar quarter, commencing after the
fourth (4th) full calendar quarter following the Effective
Date of the Plan, SC Management will make a principal
payment on the DB Promissory Note in an amount equal to
the amount of cash held by SC Management on the last
Business Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter
less the aggregate Budgeted Expenses for the following
twelve (12)-month period. The DB Promissory Note will
mature on December 31, 2014.
Class 4. SageCrest Regal Secured Claim Against SC Dixon.
(Estimated Amount: US$48,842,759). Impaired. The Holder
of the Allowed SageCrest Regal Secured Claim will receive
from SC Dixon, a Cash payment equal to the Allowed amount
of such Claim within thirty (30) days after the later of
(a) the closing on a sale of the Collateral that secures
the Allowed SageCrest Regal Secured Claim or (b) the
Allowance Date with respect to the Allowed SageCrest Regal
Secured Claim. If the Allowed SageCrest Regal Secured
Claim exceeds the value of the Collateral securing such
Claim, then pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 506(a),
any such excess amount will be deemed to be and will be
treated as a Class 6D General Unsecured Claim against SC
Dixon.
Classes 5A-5C. Miscellaneous Secured Claims against SC Finance,
SC Holdings and SC II. Unimpaired. Each Holder of an
Allowed Miscellaneous Secured Claim in Class 5A, 5B or 5C
will receive from SC Management, (i) Cash equal to the
value of its Allowed Miscellaneous Secured Claim, (ii) the
Collateral securing the Allowed Miscellaneous Secured
Claim, or (iii) such other, less favorable treatment as
may be agreed upon in writing. If any Allowed
Miscellaneous Secured Claim in Class 5A, 5B or 5C exceeds
the value of the Collateral securing such Claim, then
pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 506(a), any such
excess amount will be deemed to be and will be treated as
a Class 6 General Unsecured Claim.
Class 5D. Miscellaneous Secured Claims against SC Dixon
(Estimated Amount: US$3,851,928). Impaired.
T. Harris Environmental Management, Inc., a separate
subclass under Class 5D.1, will receive a Cash payment from
SC Dixon in the amount of C$55,000, without interest,
within thirty (30) days after the earlier of (A) the sale
by SC Dixon of the Collateral that secures the Allowed
Other Secured Claim held by Harris; (B) the refinancing of
such Collateral by SC Dixon, or (C) the fifth (5th)
anniversary of the Effective Date of the Plan.
The Holder of an Allowed Miscellaneous Secured Claim
against SC Dixon in Class 5D.2 will receive from SC Dixon,
a Cash payment equal to the Allowed amount of such
Claim within thirty (30) days after the later of (i) the
closing on a sale of the Collateral that secures such
Allowed Claim or (ii) the Allowance Date with respect to
such Allowed Claim. If an Allowed Miscellaneous Secured
Claim against SC Dixon in Class 5D.2 exceeds the value of
the Collateral securing such Claim, then pursuant to
Bankruptcy Code section 506(a), any such excess amount
will be deemed to be and will be treated as a Class 6D
General Unsecured Claim against SC Dixon.
Class 6A-6C. General Unsecured Claims against SC Finance, SC
Holdings and SC II. Impaired. Each Allowed General
Unsecured Claim in Class 6A (SC Finance), Class 6B (SC
Holdings), and Class 6C (SC II) will include interest
thereon, at the Case Interest Rate, from the Petition Date
through the date such Allowed General Unsecured Claim is
paid in full.
If all of Classes 6A, 6B and 6C vote in favor of the Plan,
then each Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim in
Classes 6A, 6B, and 6C will receive from SC Management
quarterly Cash payments, commencing with the first full
calendar quarter after the Effective Date of the Plan and
continuing until all Allowed General Unsecured Claim in
Classes 6A, 6B, and 6C are paid in full, totaling the
Allowed amount of such Claim. Each quarterly Cash payment
will be made no later than ten (10) Business Days after the
end of each calendar quarter. Each quarterly Cash payment
to a Holder of a General Unsecured Claim under Section
5.06(b) of the Plan will be of an amount equal to the
lesser of such Holder's Pro Rata (calculated using all
Allowed and Disputed General Unsecured Claims in Classes
6A, 6B and 6C) share of US$300,000 or the unpaid balance of
such Allowed General Unsecured Claim.
If Class 6A, 6B or 6C votes to reject the Plan, then each
Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim in Classes 6A,
6B, and 6C will receive from SC Management a payment of
Cash equal to the amount of such Allowed General Unsecured
Claim, plus interest at the Case Interest Rate from the
Petition Date through the date of payment, on the later of
(i) the Allowance Date or (ii) the first (1st) Business Day
that is four (4) years after the Effective Date.
Class 6D. General Unsecured Claims against SC Dixon. Impaired.
On or as soon as practicable after the later of (i) the
first Distribution Date after all Allowed Claims in Classes
4 and 5D have been paid or otherwise satisfied in full, or
(ii) the Allowance Date, each Holder of an Allowed General
Unsecured Claim in Class 6D (SC Dixon), will receive from
SC Dixon or SC Management a Cash payment equal to a Pro
Rata share of the Cash, if any, derived from the
liquidation of the Assets of SC Dixon that remain after all
Allowed Claims in Classes 4 and 5D have been paid or
otherwise satisfied in full. Each Allowed General
Unsecured Claim against SC Dixon will be satisfied solely
from such Cash of SC Dixon. SC Dixon anticipates that it
is unlikely that any Cash will be available for
distribution to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims
against SC Dixon in Class 6D.
Class 7. Deutsche Bank Guaranty Claim (against SC II only).
Impaired. In exchange for the Allowed DB Guaranty Claim,
SC II will execute the DB Promissory Note on the Effective
Date of the Plan and SC II will be jointly and severally
liable for all obligations arising under the DB Promissory
Note.
Class 8. Redemption Claims against SC II. Impaired. Each Holder
of an Allowed Redemption Claim against SC II will receive
Cash payments from SC II up to the allowed amount of such
Claim, without interest, in full satisfaction of such
Claim.
Class 9. Intercompany Claims. Impaired. On the Effective Date of
the Plan, all Intercompany claims will be canceled,
discharged, and eliminated in full, and the Holders of
Intercompany Claims will not receive or retain any property
or any interest in property on account of such Intercompany
Claims.
Class 10A. Interests in SC Finance. Unimpaired. SC II, the sole
Holder of all Allowed Interests in SC Finance, will retain
its Interest in SC Finance, as reorganized under the terms
of the Plan. SC II will contribute its Interests in SC
Finance to SC Management.
Class 10B. Interests in SC Holdings. Impaired. Each Holder of an
Allowed Interest in SC Holdings will retain its Interest in
SC Holdings, as SC Holdings in reorganized under the terms
of the Plan. No distribution will be made unless and until
all Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed Priority
Claims against all Debtors, and all Allowed Claims against
SC Holdings in Classes 1B, 2B, 3B, 5B, and 6B have been
paid in full.
Class 10C. Interests in SC II. Impaired. Each Holder of an
Allowed Interest in SC II will retain its Interest in SC
II, as SC II is reorganized under the terms of the Plan
pursuant to an amended SC II Operating Agreement that will
be included in the Plan Supplement. No distribution will
be made unless and until all Allowed Administrative Claims
and Allowed Priority Claims against all Debtors, and all
Allowed Claims against SC II in Classes 1C, 2C, 5C, 6C and
7, and all payments to Holders of Allowed Class 8 Claims
have been paid if full.
Class 10D. Interests in SC Dixon. Impaired. The Holder of Allowed
Interests in SC Dixon will retain such Allowed Interests in
SC Dixon, as SC Dixon is reorganized under the terms of the
Plan, but such Holder will not be entitled to receive or
retain, and will not receive or retain, any Cash or other
property under the Plan on account of its Allowed Interests
in SC Dixon.

SAGECREST II: Deutsche Plan Outline Hearing Continued to Feb. 15
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut has
continued to February 15, 2011, at 10:00 a.m., the hearing on the
Disclosure Statement explaining the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of
Liquidation for SageCrest II, LLC, et al., proposed by Deutsche
Bank AG, as agent for B Structure Products, Inc. The hearing on
the disclosure statement for the Deutsche Bank Plan is scheduled
on the same day and time as the hearing on the Debtors' Chapter 11
Plan of Liquidation filed jointly with the Official Committee of
Equity Security Holders.
The Debtors and the Equity Committee had earlier filed a Joint
Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation, which calls for a liquidation of
the Debtors' assets over four years. Under the Debtors' Plan,
unsecured creditors will be paid in full, Deutsche Bank will be
provided with property of the Debtors that the Debtors claim will
be the indubitable equivalent of all or a portion of its claims
and/or with a promissory note, and equity interests will retain
100% ownership of the Debtors. Deutsche Bank says that the
Debtors' Joint Plan provides no information as to how the Debtors
will fund such a lengthy liquidation, or when and if there will be
cash available for distribution to creditors on a reasonable
timetable.
Deutsche Bank has adopted the core structure of the Debtors' Plan,
which involves the establishment of and transfer of assets to SC
Management, a new entity to be created under the Plan, which will
liquidate substantially all of the Debtors' assets over roughly
two (2) years and distribute the net proceeds to Holders and
Allowed Interests according to the specific provisions of the
Plan.
Claims against the Debtors in Classes 3, 4, 5D, 6, 7, 8 and 9, and
Interests in SageCrest Holdings, LLC (Class 10B), SageCrest II
(Class 10C), and SageCrest Dixon, LLC (Class 10D) are impaired
under Plan. Claims against the Debtors in Classes 1, 2, 5A, 5B
and 5C, and Interests in SageCrest Finance, LLC (Class 10A), are
not impaired under the Plan, and the Holders of those Claims and
Interests and are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan
and are thus not entitled to vote on the Plan.
The Plan proposes the following treatment for the various claims
and interests in the Debtors:
Deutsche Bank Secured Claims under Class 3 will receive on the
Effective Date of the Plan the DB Credit Agreement, which will be
issued by SC Finance, SC II, SC Holdings, SCFR, SC Limited and SC
Management in the principal amount of the asserted amount of the
prepetition DB Secured Claims plus fees, costs, and default
interest. The DB Credit Agreement will contain the terms set
forth in Section 5.03 of the Plan and the term sheet attached as
Exhibit C to the Plan.
The Holder of the Allowed SageCrest Regal Secured Claim under
Class 4 will receive from SC Dixon a Cash payment to the Allowed
amount of such Claim within thirty (30) days after the later of
a) the closing on a sale of the Collateral that secured the
Allowed SageCrest Regal Secured Claim or (b) the Allowance Date
with respect to such Claim. If the Allowed SageCrest Regal
Secured Claim exceeds the value of the Collateral securing such
Claim, then any deficiency will be treated as a Class 6D General
Unsecured Claim against SC Dixon.
Miscellaneous Secured Claims against SC Dixon under Class 5D will
contain a separate subclass for each Miscellaneous Secured Claim
against SC Dixon. T. Harris Environmental Management, Inc. under
subclass 5D.1 will receive a Cash payment from SC Dixon in the
amount of C$55,000, without interest, within thirty (30) days
after the earlier of (A) the sale by SC Dixon of the Collateral
that secures the Allowed Other Secured Claim held by Harris; (B)
the refinancing of such Collateral by SC Dixon, or (C) the fifth
(5th) anniversary of the Effective Date of the Plan.
The Holder of an Allowed Miscellaneous Secured Claim against SC
Dixon in Class 5D.2 will receive from SC Dixon, a Cash payment
equal to the Allowed amount of such Claim within thirty (30) days
after the later of (i) the closing on a sale of the Collateral
that secures such Allowed Claim or (ii) the Allowance Date with
respect to such Allowed Claim.
Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims in Classes 6A, 6B, and
6C will receive interest at the Case Interest Rate from the
Petition Date through the date such Allowed General Unsecured
Claim is paid in full. After indefeasible payment in full in Cash
of the DB Secured Claims other than that portion of the DB Secured
Claims attributable to default interest, Cash payments will be
made by the Plan Administrator in Classes 6A, 6B, and 6C, on a pro
rata basis with payments to be made to Deutsche Bank on account of
the DB Secured Default Interest claim from the Excess Cash Flow
with respect to the preceding month.
General Unsecured Claims against SC Dixon under 6D will receive
from SC Dixon or SC Management a Cash payment equal to a pro rata
share of the Cash, if any, derived from the liquidation of the
Assets of SC Dixon after the satisfaction in full of Allowed
Claims in Classes 4 and 5D. It is unlikely that any Cash will be
available for distribution to Holders of Claims in Class 6D.
In full satisfaction of the Allowed DB Guaranty Claim under
Class 7, SC II will execute the DB Credit Agreement on the
Effective Date of the Plan and SC II will be jointly and severally
liable for all the objections arising under the DB Credit
Agreement.
After indefeasible payment in full in Cash of (a) the Deutsche
Bank Secured Claim and (b) all Allowed Claims in 6A, 6B, and 6C,
payments will be made by the Plan Administrator to Holders of
Allowed Redemption Claims against SC II under Class 8 on a pro
rata basis from the Excess Cash Flow Amount with respect to the
preceding month.
All Intercompany claims under Class 9 will be extinguished,
canceled, discharged, and eliminated in full, Holders of Class 9
Claims will receive no distribution.

OAS ENGENHARIA: Fitch Rates Issuer Default Ratings at 'B'
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned ratings to OAS Engenharia e
Participacoes S.A. and its wholly owned subsidiary Construtora OAS
Ltda, as follows:
OAS Participacoes
* Foreign and Local Currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) 'B';
* Long-term National Rating 'BBB(bra)'.
Construtora OAS
* Foreign and Local Currency IDRs 'B+';
* Long-term National Rating 'BBB+(bra)'.
In addition, Fitch has affirmed the following ratings:
OAS Empreendimentos S.A. (OAS Empreendimentos)
* Long-term National Rating 'BB+(bra)'
* Long-term National Rating of the BRL60 million second
debenture issuance due in 2014, guaranteed by OAS
Participacoes, 'BBB(bra)'.
The Rating Outlook for all the corporate ratings is Stable.
The ratings reflect the size, expertise and the position of the
OAS group as one of the five largest contractors in the domestic
civil construction sector by revenues, and its long track record
in engineering and heavy construction in Brazil. The ratings also
incorporate increased consolidated leverage, combined with
operational margins lower than the industry average; the exposure
of its main business to the public sector; the challenges of the
recent surge of the homebuilding company of the group; and the
increased financing needs to support the group's business growth
strategy. The current high leverage is above historical
parameters and is partially mitigated by the satisfactory
liquidity position and debt repayment schedule. The expectation
that the expansion of the group's new businesses, which has led to
increased consolidated debt, may achieve a greater contribution to
the consolidated cash generation also supports leverage reduction.
Conservative Financial Profile of Construtora OAS:
On a standalone basis, Construtora OAS presents a conservative
financial profile, supported by low leverage and adequate
liquidity. Construtora OAS operates in the heavy construction
business and is the OAS group's main operating and cash generating
company. Construtora OAS is fully owned by OAS Participacoes, the
group's holding company, which also consolidates the group's
equity investments in public concessions and infrastructure,
through Invepar, and the operations in the homebuilding sector,
through OAS Empreendimentos. The contractor business represented
90% of the OAS group consolidated revenue and 73% of the
consolidated EBITDA generation in the last 12 months ended June
2010.
Given the subordinated nature of its debt, OAS Participacoes is
rated one-notch lower than Construtora OAS. OAS Participacoes'
indebtedness is high and is dependent on the cash generation and
dividend payments from its subsidiaries to meet debt obligations.
The holding company also provides guarantees to its subsidiaries,
mainly for OAS Empreendimentos.
High Leverage to Decrease in 2011:
On a consolidated basis, OAS Participacoes' total debt/EBITDA
ratio increased to 6.4 times (x) in the LTM ended June 2010, from
6.2x in 2009 and 4.0x in 2008. Net debt/EBITDA also increased to
4.5x, from 2.8x and 2.0x over the same periods, reflecting higher
debt to support the recent expansion of the group in its
contractor, infrastructure and homebuilding businesses, as well as
lower EBITDA generation. As of June 30, 2010, total debt was
BRL1.7 billion, compared to BRL724 million at the end of 2008. As
a characteristic of the contractor business, Construtora OAS'
leverage is low. Total debt/EBITDA ratio was 2.0x for the LTM
ended June 2010, while net debt/EBITDA was 1.1x. Fitch expects OAS
group to conservatively manage its debt, and leverage should
benefit from the expected recovery of Construtora OAS' operational
margins. OAS Participacoes consolidated total debt/EBITDA ratio
should remain high at the end of 2010, at about 8.0x, and is
expected to gradually fall to approximately 5.5x during 2011.
Moderate Refinancing Risk
Fitch expects OAS group to continue to extend its consolidated
debt maturity profile and to conservatively manage its liquidity
position. Since June 2010, OAS group has taken several measures
to extend its debt maturity profile, which resulted in a more
adequate capital structure, and strengthened liquidity to support
the growth of its activities. On Nov. 10, 2010, OAS Participacoes
concluded the issuance of a BRL400 million debenture, due in eight
years. The proceeds will be used for debt repayment and extending
maturities, while the remaining BRL180 million will cover working
capital needs. Following this transaction, debt refinancing
pressure was reduced, as per the groups' pro forma consolidated
cash position, which improved to near BRL1 billion, and was
equivalent to 173% of short-term debt maturities at end September
2010 and 82% of debt maturities coming due by the end of 2012. At
end June 2010, OAS Participacoes's consolidated cash and
marketable securities of BRL493 million covered 105% of its short-
term debt of BRL470 million.
EBITDA Margins Expected to Recover
The OAS group has the challenge to strengthen its operating
margins and cash generation capacity in 2011. Fitch expects both
OAS Participacoes and Construtora OAS to recover their EBITDA
margins, returning to levels near those reported in 2007-2008, to
around 7.0% in 2011 and between 7.5% and 8.0% in 2012. The
reduction of higher costs in the course of the project
developments and the improved operational margins of OAS
Empreendimentos should support this recovery.
OAS group has consistently grown its consolidated revenues, to
BRL4.5 billion in the LTM ended June 2010, from BRL1.6 billion in
2007. The significant increase in Construtora OAS' activities
supported this growth. EBITDA also increased over the same
period, up 126%, to BRL260 million; however, EBITDA margin was
down to 5.8% in the LTM ended June 2010, compared to 7.4% in 2007,
and was below the industry average. The rapid increase in backlog
has required the acceleration of investments and higher costs for
the initial development of projects, which pressured EBITDA
margins and reduced the generation of funds from operations to
BRL210 million in the LTM ended June 2010. After BRL413 million
of cash outflows for working capital, cash flow from operations
was a negative BRL202 million in the LTM ended June 2010. Fitch
expects a positive CFO, above BRL200 million in 2011 and 2012,
sufficient for generation of a positive free cash flow after
covering capex needs.
Strong Backlog Sustains Business Growth
Construtora OAS ranked as the fifth largest contractor in Brazil
in terms of revenues in 2009. The total backlog has grown
substantially to BRL12 billion in September 2010, from BRL8.5
billion at end 2009 and BRL6.4 billion in 2008. About BRL2.3
billion of total backlog was related to projects abroad. Fitch
believes that the consistent increase of Construtora OAS' backlog
should sustain the group's business growth in the medium-to-long
term and expects that the company will be successful in its
expansion strategy and diversification of works by sector, and
internationally, thus reducing its exposure to the public sector
in Brazil.
OAS Empreendimentos Dependent on Parent Support
OAS Empreendimentos, which operates in real estate development and
construction, is fully owned by OAS Participacoes. Its ratings
reflect its full integration with the structure and business
strategy of the OAS group as well as its high dependence on the
group's support for the development and growth of its operations.
In the LTM ended June, OAS Empreendimentos achieved BRL352 million
of net revenues, compared to BRL258 million for the whole of 2009,
with an increase in EBITDA margin to 7.0%, still lower than the
industry average, and high net leverage ratio of 9.4x reflecting
the taking of adequate financing for real estate development in
Brazil. Of its total BRL504 million debt at end June 2010, BRL411
million was represented by BRL107 million from the Housing
Financing System and BRL304 million from a five-year debenture,
guaranteed by OAS Participacoes, subscribed to by the Brazilian
Employees Severance Indemnity Fund, with repayment based on
delivery of receivables of ready units. Fitch expects further
improvements in the company's margins which will contribute to the
reduction in leverage ratios.
Key Rating Drivers:
The ratings could be negatively pressured by a downturn in
consolidated performance and operational margins; a downturn in
the core heavy construction business. A rating downgrade could
also be driven by lower consolidated cash generation capacity and
liquidity, combined with high leverage ratios.
Positive rating actions could be driven by consistent increases in
margins of the core heavy construction business, combined with the
improvement of performance of the main segments of operation;
increasing consolidated cash generation; maintenance of high
levels of liquidity; and leverage reduction.

BANCO BHD: Fitch Affirms 'B' Long Term Issuer Default Ratings
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the ratings and revised the outlook of
Banco BHD's long-term foreign and local currency issuer default
rating to Positive from Stable, after a similar change on the
Outlook of the sovereign rating. Also, the Outlook on the ratings
of several of BHD's related entities were revised.
The Outlook revision on BHD's ratings reflects Fitch's
expectations that the current and expected improvement in the
Dominican operating environment will help enhance the financial
profile of the bank.
Fitch could upgrade BHD's ratings if the country's stronger
macroeconomic performance and an improved operating environment
continue to support the strengthening of BHD's financial
performance in terms of the adequate growth and healthy results as
observed in the recent years. In contrast, deterioration in the
bank's overall capitalization or liquidity position could be
credit negative.
A diversified retail deposit base, adequate market share, good
liquidity, improved asset quality and profitability, sound capital
base, competent management, and robust shareholder structure
support BHD's ratings. A volatile operating environment remains
the main challenge for the bank, while further improvement in its
efficiency levels will benefit profitability in times of fierce
competition.
Grupo BHD controlled 51% of Centro Financiero BHD, the sole
shareholder of BHD, with Banco de Sabadell of Spain and Banco
Popular de Puerto Rico together holding 40% and International
Finance Corporation controlling 9%.
In the case of the other related entities, all subsidiaries of
CFBHD, these ratings are based on presumption of the expected
support from BHD in case it should be required, considering full
integration into BHD's overall franchise and operating standards.
On Jan. 5, 2011, Fitch revised the Outlook on the Dominican
Republic's foreign and local currency IDRs to Positive from
Stable, and affirmed both ratings at 'B'. The Outlook revision
reflects the Dominican economy's resilience during the global
financial crisis, which was supported by a Stand-by Arrangement
with the IMF, improving export prospects and structural
improvements in debt management. Fitch believes these
developments will support the maintenance of macroeconomic
stability within an environment of robust growth of around 6% over
the medium-term. The economic recovery has exceeded both Fitch's
and the market's expectations with growth estimated at 7.8% in
2010. Furthermore, inflation remains controlled despite higher
commodity prices and a strong recovery of domestic demand.
High per capita income, as well as stronger social and business
environment indicators relative to 'B' rated peers continue to
support the sovereign's ratings.
The improved economic environment should support the financial
system's performance in terms of adequate growth and healthy
results as observed in the recent years. Nevertheless, there is
significant room for improvement on the overall capitalization of
the system and the liquidity position of some mid- and small-sized
financial institutions, which have concentrated funding sources.
Considering the aforementioned factors, Fitch has affirmed the
following:
Banco BHD (BHD)
* Long-term Foreign and Local Currency IDR at 'B', Outlook
revised to Positive from Stable;
* Short-term Foreign and Local Currency IDR at 'B';
* Individual Rating at 'D';
* Support Rating at '5';
* Support Floor at 'NF';
* Long Term National Rating at 'AA-(dom)', Outlook Positive;
* Short-term National Rating at 'F-1+(dom)'.
Banco de Ahorro y Credito PyME BHD (PYMEBHD)
* Long-term National Rating at 'AA-(dom)', Outlook Positive;
* Short-term National Rating at 'F-1+(dom)'.
BHD Puesto de Bolsa S.A. (BHDVAL)
* Long-term National Rating at 'AA-(dom)', Outlook Positive;
* Short-term National Rating at 'F-1+(dom)';
* National Rating Senior Unsecured debt at 'AA-(dom)'.
BHD International Bank (Panama) S.A. (BHDPAN)
* Long-term National Rating at 'AA-(dom)', Outlook Positive;
* Short-term National Rating at 'F-1+(dom)'.
BANCO DE RESERVAS: Fitch Affirms Long Term Foreign Rating at 'B'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has taken these rating actions on Banco de Reservas
de la Republica Dominicana and Banco Nacional de la Vivienda y la
Produccion, two government owned banks in the Dominican Republic:
Banco de Reservas de la Republica Dominicana (Banreservas):
* Long Term Foreign Currency IDR affirmed at 'B'; Outlook to
Positive from Stable;
* Long Term Local Currency IDR affirmed at 'B'; Outlook to
Positive from Stable.
* Short-Term Foreign Currency IDR affirmed at 'B';
* Short-Term Local Currency IDR affirmed at 'B';
* Individual affirmed at 'D';
* Support affirmed at '4';
* Support Floor affirmed at 'B';
* Long Term National Rating upgraded to 'AA-(dom)' from 'A+
(dom)' ;
* Short Term National Rating upgraded to 'F1+(dom)' from
'F1(dom)' .
Banco Nacional de la Vivienda y la Produccion (BNV):
* Long Term National Rating upgraded to 'AA-(dom)' from 'A+
(dom)' ;
* Short Term National Rating upgraded to 'F1+(dom)' from
'F1(dom)' ;
* National Rating Senior unsecured debt upgraded to 'AA-(dom)'
from 'A+(dom)'.
The Outlook revisions on Banreservas' IDRs are in line with a
similar action that Fitch took on the sovereign ratings of the
Dominican Republic. The Outlook revision on the Dominican
Republic's long-term IDRs drove the aforementioned rating actions
seeing as the sovereign is the sole shareholder of both entities.
Banreservas is the largest bank in the country. Additionally, the
bank is the government's payment agent and plays a key role in the
government's economic policy. BNV, despite its significantly
smaller size enjoys an explicit government guarantee over the
totality of its liabilities and contingencies. BNV is also an
important player on the housing plans of the government. Future
changes on the ratings of these entities will be contingent on
sovereign rating actions, as Fitch does not expect any changes
with respect to the government's willingness of support over the
medium-term.
On Jan. 5, 2011, Fitch revised the outlook on the Dominican
Republic's Foreign and Local currency Issuer Default Ratings to
Positive from Stable, and affirmed both ratings at 'B'. The
Outlook revision reflects the Dominican economy's resilience
during the global financial crisis, which was supported by a
Stand-by Arrangement with the IMF, improving export prospects and
structural improvements in debt management. Fitch believes these
developments will support the maintenance of macroeconomic
stability within an environment of robust growth of around 6% over
the medium-term.
The economic recovery has exceeded both Fitch's and the market's
expectations with growth estimated at 7.8% in 2010. Furthermore,
inflation remains controlled despite higher commodity prices and a
strong recovery of domestic demand. High per capita income, along
with stronger social and business environment indicators relative
to 'B' peers, continue to support the sovereign's ratings.
POPULAR BANK: Fitch Affirms LT National Rating at 'BB+(pan)'
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has revised the Rating Outlook on the long-term
national scale rating to Positive from Stable of Banco Popular
Dominicano, in line with the Outlook on the Dominican Republic's
sovereign ratings.
Fitch has simultaneously revised the Outlook on the long-term
national rating of BPD's related entity: Popular Bank Ltd. Inc y
Subsidiarias.
The revision of the Outlook on BPD's ratings reflects Fitch's
expectations that the current and expected improvement in the
Dominican operating environment will help enhance the financial
profile of the bank. Fitch could upgrade BPD's ratings if the
country's stronger macroeconomic performance and an improved
operating environment continue supporting and enhancing BPD
financial performance. By contrast, deterioration in the bank's
overall capitalization or profitability position could be credit
negative.
BPD's ratings reflect its strong franchise within the Dominican
financial system, conservative risk culture, adequate asset
quality and profitability. The volatility of the operating
environment remains the main challenge for the bank, while further
improvement on its efficiency levels and capitalization will
benefit its ratings.
The bank is the main subsidiary of Grupo Popular S.A., a holding
company for mostly financial subsidiaries in the Dominican
Republic, Panama, and the U.S. In the case of Popular Bank,
another subsidiary of GPSA, its ratings are based on assumption of
expected support from BPD should be required, considering the
share of its franchise, operating integration and share of
customers.
On Jan. 5, 2011, Fitch revised the Outlook on the Dominican
Republic's foreign and local currency Issuer Default Ratings to
Positive from Stable, and affirmed both ratings at 'B'. The
Outlook revision reflects the Dominican economy's resilience
during the global financial crisis, which was supported by a
Stand-by Arrangement with the IMF, improving export prospects and
structural improvements in debt management. Fitch believes these
developments will support the maintenance of macroeconomic
stability within an environment of robust growth of around 6% over

2010. Furthermore, inflation remains controlled despite higher
commodity prices and a strong recovery of domestic demand. High
per capita income, as well as stronger social and business
environment indicators relative to 'B' peers continues to support
the sovereign's ratings.
The improved economic environment should support the financial
system's performance in terms of adequate growth and healthy
results as observed in the recent years. Nevertheless, there is
significant room for improvement on the overall capitalization of
the system and the liquidity position of some mid- and small-sized
financial institutions, which have concentrated funding sources.
Considering the aforementioned factors, Fitch has taken the
following rating actions:
Banco Popular Dominicano (Popular)
* Long-term national rating affirmed at 'AA-(dom)', Outlook
Positive;
* Short-term national rating affirmed at 'F1+(dom)';
* National rating subordinated debt affirmed at 'A(dom)'.
Popular Bank Ltd. Inc y Subsidiarias (Popular Bank)
* Long-term national rating affirmed at 'BB+(pan)', Outlook
revised to Positive from Stable.
* Short-term national rating affirmed at 'F1+(pan)'.

JPSCO: Former Employees Want Millions in Retroactive Salaries
-------------------------------------------------------------
RadioJamaica reports that Jamaica Public Service Company's former
employees are threatening to take strong action against the entity
to force it to pay over millions of dollars in retroactive
salaries.
The employees claim that the salaries are due to them under a four
year wage agreement, which was signed in September last year
between the JPSCO management and their trade unions, according to
RadioJamaica. The agreement was retroactive to January 2008.
RadioJamaica discloses that although the persons are no longer
employed to JPSCO, their unions are insisting that they are still
entitled to the retroactive sums.
Robert Harris, Senior Negotiating Officer of the Union of
Clerical, Administrative and Supervisory Employees (UCASE), said
there was an understanding the former employees would benefit from
the agreement, the report notes.
"We have always had a system in placed where once the current
employers have been paid their new rates and the retroactive
payments, then the next month would have been the time for the
former employees to be paid. In excess of 50 employees have left
the company during that time, from the UCASE group and they have
families to look after. Some of them have not gotten a job since
they left the company or went sent home by forced redundancies . .
. they are getting restless at this moment," RadioJamaica quoted
Mr. Harris as saying.

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
have 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.
LORRESTON BAILEY: Securities Firm to Be Sent to Bankruptcy
----------------------------------------------------------
RadioJamaica reports that the Financial Services Commission will
place the securities dealership operated by Lorreston Bailey into
bankruptcy.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
December 8, 2010, RadioJamaica said that FSC has been granted by
the Supreme Court to continue its temporary management of
Lorreston Bailey's securities dealership. FSC first assumed
temporary management of the company in September. A notice from
the FSC said an extension of the period of temporary management
has been granted by the Supreme Court, the report said. According
to RadioJamaica, this followed concerns that the licensee had
given false statements concerning its affairs and the value of its
assets was substantially less than its liabilities. The FSC,
RadioJamaica noted, said that the securities dealer also
contravened directions which it issued under the Financial
Services Act.
RadioJamaica notes that client liabilities are said to be in the
region of JM$685 million while available assets amount to little
over JM$14 million.
The FSC, the report discloses, sad that the Supreme Court has
given it the green light to file a bankruptcy notice against the
securities dealership. Proceedings commenced on December 28,
2010.
RadioJamaica says that it has been proposed that the Trustee in
Bankruptcy be appointed the Manager/Receiver. Clients have been
asked to submit claims to the FSC, the report adds.
Lorreston Bailey is a securities dealer.
TRINIDAD CEMENT: Plans to Restructure Debt
------------------------------------------
RadioJamaica reports that Trinidad Cement Limited has unveiled a
major plan to restructure its debt. The exercise is being
undertaken to allow the Group to remain in business given the
severe effect of the economic decline on all its markets,
according to the report.
RadioJamaica notes that the TCL has disclosed that a creditor
committee comprising large domestic and international
institutional lenders representing 75% of its total debt, has been
established.
An independent advisor is to be hired to the Committee to assess
the cash generating capability, operations and structure of the
TCL Group, the report notes.
RadioJamaica says TCL, along with the Committee and its advisor,
will present the debt restructure plan to its lenders and
investors for approval. The report relates that it is expected
that this exercise will continue until the debts are restructured,
during which time the Group will declare a moratorium on principal
and interest payments.
Trinidad Cement Limited is a cement company.

ALESTRA S: Fitch Affirms Rating on Senior Notes at 'BB-'
--------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings took this rating actions for Alestra, S. de R.L. de
C.V.'s (Alestra) Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) and outstanding
debt highlighted below:
* Local currency IDR upgraded to 'BB-' from 'B+';
* Foreign currency IDR upgraded to 'BB-' from 'B+';
* Senior Notes due 2014 affirmed at 'BB-'.
The Rating Outlook is Stable.
The upgrades are supported by Alestra's continued stable operating
performance and moderate leverage and the expectation that these
will remain stable over the medium term. The rating actions also
consider Alestra's manageable debt maturity profile, lower
business risk and stable cash flow generation. The ratings
incorporate that any potential projects including spectrum bids,
last mile network construction or small acquisition should not
materially change the company business risk and financial profile.
According to Fitch's methodology, Recovery Ratings are not
assigned to issues from issuers with an IDR of 'BB-' or higher.
Therefore, Fitch affirmed the US$200 million senior notes at 'BB-'
from its previous rating of 'BB-/RR3'.
Alestra's ratings reflect its position as a niche service
provider, its small scale, advanced network infrastructure,
moderate regulatory risk and sound financial profile. The ratings
are tempered by the currency mismatch between debt and cash flows,
challenges in the long distance market and competition in data,
internet and local services. Lower business risk has resulted as
a consequence of management's strategy to grow DILS. In addition,
Alestra's focus on corporate customers provides stability for cash
flow as the competitive environment is more balanced than the
residential market.
Alestra's long distance strategy centers on offering these
services in conjunction with value added services, mainly as part
of an integrated solution or bundle offering. While value added
services should continue growing in 2011, long distance is
expected to continue declining as percentage of total revenues due
to business fundamental trends as competition remains strong and
price pressures continues.
As a result, EBITDA margins should moderately increase during 2011
as the mix of better margin value added services continues to grow
as a proportion of consolidated revenues. Fitch estimates that
for year-end 2010, approximately 80% of revenues and 88% of EBITDA
was generated by value added services.
Fitch views Alestra's business strategy to grow revenues from its
corporate customers by offering value added services as a credit
positive in maintaining low business risk and contributing to
stable operating performance. For this reason, Alestra is moving
to control its network from end to end by investing in its own
links rather than leasing them from third parties. By the end of
2010, Fitch anticipates that approximately 57% of the links are
leased. Fitch estimates that this strategy should result in
having leased less than 50% of the links in the medium term.
Fitch expects that over the next few years, Alestra should
continue growing and introducing convergent services, such as IP
telephony, security, hosting, managed services and VPNs to offer
integrated solutions to corporate customers, which accounts for
approximately 93% of gross profits. Alestra also looks to
underpin its consumer service offering with differentiated
services.
Fitch expects total debt to EBITDA to remain below 2.5 times(x) in
the long term. While an upgrade seems unlikely in the short term,
a sustained leverage above 2.5x over time would negatively affect
credit quality and ultimately lead to a downgrade. For the 12
months ended Sept. 30, 2010 total debt to EBITDA and EBITDA to
interest expense were 2.1x and 4.3x, respectively. Fitch also
expects Alestra to continue generating positive FCF which totaled
MXN775 million for this period. Increases in capex over the next
few years can limit the company's FCF generation.
Alestra is exposed to currency mismatch between debt and cash flow
and has refinancing needs by 2014. However this risk is partially
mitigated as approximately 30% of revenues and 40% of EBITDA are
denominated in USD. As of Sept. 30, 2010 total debt amounted to
US$247 million, composed of a US$10 million bank facility, US$37
million vendor financing and US$200 million senior notes due 2014.
Fitch expects that at least part of the 2014 maturity should be
refinanced in advance and failure to do so should pressure the
ratings.

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.
