PICHI'S INC: Has Until March 30 to File Chapter 11 Plan
-------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Edward A. Godoy of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Puerto Rico extended until March 30, 2012, Pichi's
Inc.'s time to file a Chapter 11 plan and disclosure statement.
About Pichi's Inc.
Pichi's Inc. owns and operates the Best Western Pichi's Hotel in
Guayanilla, Puerto Rico. Pichi's filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
(Bankr. D. P.R. Case No. 11-06583) on Aug. 3, 2011. Judge
Mildred Caban Flores initially presided over the case, which has
recently been reassigned to the Hon. Edward A. Godoy. Charles A.
Cuprill, Esq., at Charles A. Cuprill, P.S.C., Law Offices, in San
Juan, Puerto Rico, serves as the Debtor's bankruptcy counsel.
CPA Luis R. Carrasquillo & Co., P.S.C., serves as financial
consultants.
The petition was signed by Luis A. Emmanuelli Gonzalez,
president.
In its schedules, the Debtor disclosed US$31,402,359 in assets
and $36,619,020 in liabilities.
Luis C. Marini, Esq., and Ubaldo M. Fernandez, Esq. at O'Neill &
Borges, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, represents Banco Popular de
Puerto Rico as counsel.
PUERTO RICO AQUEDUCT: S&P Retains bb+ Stand-Alone Credit Profile
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BBB-' rating to
Puerto Rico Aqueduct & Sewer Authority's (PRASA) series 2012A and
series 2012B senior-lien revenue bonds. The outlook is stable. In
addition, Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'BBB-' rating and stable
outlook on the authority's senior-lien obligations currently
outstanding. "We are also affirming our 'BBB' rating and stable
outlook on the authority's bonds guaranteed by the full faith and
credit pledge of the commonwealth of Puerto Rico (BBB/Stable),"
S&P said.
"The ratings on the senior-lien bonds include a one-notch lift
from the authority's 'bb+' stand-alone credit profile, based on
the application of our criteria for government-related entities
(GREs)," S&P said.
"In accordance with our criteria for GREs, our view of a high
likelihood of extraordinary government support reflects our
assessment of PRASA's very strong link with the government of
Puerto Rico, and our assessment of PRASA's important role as the
provider of water and sewer services in the island," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Horacio Aldrete-Sanchez. The
assessment also reflects the history of support Government
Development Bank for Puerto Rico provides, and its stated
intentions to continue to support the authority as required.
Factors that constrain the rating include the authority's:
Relatively fragmented water and wastewater system, which
coupled with significant deferred capital needs, has resulted
in a high level of operational deficiencies; and
Historically poor financial performance, stemming from
unwillingness to raise rates, deficient billing and collection
systems, and low levels of liquidity, all of which
historically constrained the utility from generating
consistent operating surpluses. PRASA has, however, made
significant strides over the past two years to restore the
system's financial operations.
Factors that moderate these credit limitations include:
Continued liquidity support from the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico through lines of credit provided by the Government
Development Bank for Puerto Rico (GDB). These revolving credit
lines totaled approximately US$1.1 billion at the end of
fiscal 2011; and
A supportive regulatory environment in which PRASA does not
require legislative action to implement rate adjustments, and
has full authority to cut off service to delinquent
accounts.
"The stable outlook on the senior bonds reflects Standard &
Poor's expectation that management will continue to demonstrate a
willingness to address the identified operational, financial, and
capital challenges currently facing PRASA. The stable outlook on
the guaranteed bonds reflects the rating outlook on Puerto Rico's
GO debt. The outlook on both the senior bonds and the guaranteed
bonds also reflects our view of PRASA's very strong link with the
government of Puerto Rico, and our expectation of the
government's continued strong liquidity support. The adoption of
legislation that limits PRASA's ability to implement the
necessary rate increases to address its capital and operational
needs would cause downward pressure on the rating. Conversely,
consistently positive financial operations could result in upward
pressure on the rating," S&P said.
REITTER CORP: Court to Hear Plea on Chap. 7 Conversion on Feb. 14
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Puerto Rico has set
a hearing on the conversion of Reitter Corporation's Chapter 11
case to one under Chapter 7 on Feb. 14, 2012, at 2:00 p.m.
Judge Enrique S. Lamoutte Inclan has noted that the Debtor has
failed to file its disclosure statement.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 9, 2012,
The Hon. Enrique S. Lamoutte Inclan of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Puerto Rico on Nov. 23, 2011 granted Reitter
Corporation's request for a 28-day extension to file an amended
disclosure statement and respond to objections to claims.
The TCR also reported on Dec. 1, 2011 that the Debtor asked the
Court to extend until Dec. 16, 2011, its time to file its Amended
Disclosure Statement and to file stipulations or oppositions to
the proofs of claims filed by Treasury and IRS.
The Debtor related that it has entered into a new contract with
LBA Medical Services, Inc., which will increase its revenues and
allow it to have a feasible plan. The Debtor submitted this
information to CPA Luis Carrasquillo in order to include
these additional revenues in the projections. As such, the
Debtor said it needs additional time to file its amended
disclosure statement, including the feasibility report.

PETROTRIN: Salary Negotiations Break Down, Workers Decline Offer
----------------------------------------------------------------

eak_down-139135759.html
Sue-Ann Wayow at Trinidad Express reports that salary
negotiations between state-owned Petroleum Company of Trinidad
and Tobago (Petrotrin) and the Oilfields Workers' Trade Union
broke down at the Labor Ministry in San Fernando, with union
president-general Ancel Roget warning of strike action should
there be no remedy.
Mr. Roget said it was now up to Labor Minister Errol McLeod to
intervene and prevent a shutdown of Petrotrin, according to
Trinidad Express. The report relates that Mr. Roget said that
the 5% increase offered by the government would not be accepted.
"We are not prepared to go back into a new collective agreement
period with the same terms and conditions," the report quoted Mr.
Roget as saying.
Trinidad Express notes that Mr. Roget said the union informed
that it would continue talks only if Petrotrin is willing to move
beyond its 5% offer. "You don't have to say to us what your
final figure might be. But if we must have meaningful
negotiations, you must tell us here and now in spite of the fact
things are hard. We are prepared, for settlement sake, to amend
our proposal. But you must be able to tell us that you are
willing to go beyond five for any talk to make sense."
Mr. Roget, Trinidad Express notes, said he was told that the
company can give no such guarantee and, therefore, "The time for
talking has abruptly come to an end."
The report discloses that Mr. Roget said Mr. McLeod has been
given three days to intervene. If he does not, workers will send
a strike notice to their employers on Feb. 14, and if after one
week, if workers and employers still can't come to an agreement,
a strike for 90 days will begin, Mr. Roget added, Trinidad
Express relays.
About Petrotrin
Petroleum Company of Trinidad and Tobago is the major state-owned
oil company in Trinidad and Tobago. The company was established
in 1993 by the merger of Trintopec and Trintoc, two state-owned
oil companies. Petrotrin's main holdings are extensive, mature
onshore fields located across southern Trinidad. Large areas
have been leased out to small private producers who are able to
make a profit on wells that are unprofitable for Petrotrin,
giving it higher labor costs. The company operates a refinery at
Pointe- Pierre, just north of San Fernando in south Trinidad.
Most crude petroleum produced in Trinidad is exported without
being refined. The refinery depends on imported crude (mostly
from Venezuela), which is either used domestically or exported.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
June 9, 2010, Trinidad Express said that four members of
Petrotrin submitted their resignation letters. According to the
report, Malcom Jones resigned as chairman of Petrotrin and from
the State boards. The report related board members Lawford
Dupres, who chaired the National Petroleum board, attorney Kerwin
Garcia and Andrew McIntosh had also resigned. Prime Minister
Kamla Persad-Bissessar, the report noted, said that Cabinet had
ordered a forensic audit of Petrotrin as there were "grounds for
suspicion of misconduct" at Petrotrin similar to what may have
transpired at special-purpose State enterprise UDeCOTT. The
report said that the company was experiencing serious financial
difficulties resulting in high cost overruns of its refinery
upgrade. The situation was exacerbated by a US$12 billion
lawsuit by World GTL Inc. against Petrotrin, the report added.

***********
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
