STANFORD INT'L: Jurors Deliberate in Owner's Criminal Case
----------------------------------------------------------
Jamaica Observer reports that the jurors, composed of four women
and eight men, in Robert Allen Stanford's criminal case have yet
to reach a verdict. Mr. Stanford is the owner of Stanford
International Bank Limited.
If the jury convicts Mr. Stanford on any of the 14 counts, they
will be asked to determine whether the U.S. government may seize
31 U.S. properties that belonged to his companies, according to
Jamaica Observer.
The report notes that Mr. Stanford's defense team argued during
the six-week trial that the Antigua-based bank was in the midst
of a consolidation and would be solvent today if the US
government had not shut it down in February 2009.
Jamaica Observer says that Mr. Stanford, who did not take the
stand in his own defense, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
Mr. Stanford faces up to 20 years in jail if convicted on most
counts, the report adds.
About Stanford International Bank
Domiciled in Antigua, Stanford International Bank Limited --
http://www.stanfordinternationalbank.com/-- is a member of
Stanford Private Wealth Management, a global financial services
network with US$51 billion in deposits and assets under
management or advisement. Stanford Private Wealth Management
serves more than 70,000 clients in 140 countries.
On Feb. 16, 2009, the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, signed an order
appointing Ralph Janvey as receiver for all the assets and
records of Stanford International Bank, Ltd., Stanford Group
Company, Stanford Capital Management, LLC, Robert Allen Stanford,
James M. Davis and Laura Pendergest-Holt and of all entities they
own or control. The February 16 order, as amended March 12,
2009, directs the Receiver to, among other things, take control
and possession of and to operate the Receivership Estate, and to
perform all acts necessary to conserve, hold, manage and preserve
the value of the Receivership Estate.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, on Feb. 17, charged
before the U.S. District Court in Dallas, Texas, Mr. Stanford and
three of his companies for orchestrating a fraudulent, multi-
billion dollar investment scheme centering on an US$8 billion
Certificate of Deposit program.
A criminal case was pursued against him in June before the U.S.
District Court in Houston, Texas. Mr. Stanford pleaded not
guilty to 21 charges of multi-billion dollar fraud, money-
laundering and obstruction of justice. Assistant Attorney
General Lanny Breuer, as cited by Agence France-Presse News, said
in a 57-page indictment that Mr. Stanford could face up to 250
years in prison if convicted on all charges. Mr. Stanford
surrendered to U.S. authorities after a warrant was issued for
his arrest on the criminal charges.
The criminal case is U.S. v. Stanford, H-09-342, U.S. District
Court, Southern District of Texas (Houston). The civil case is
SEC v. Stanford International Bank, 3:09-cv-00298-N, U.S.
District Court, Northern District of Texas (Dallas).

* BELIZE: S&P Lowers Foreign-Currency Sovereign Rating to 'CCC-'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its long-term foreign-
currency sovereign credit rating on Belize to 'CCC-' from 'CCC+'.
Standard & Poor's also said that it lowered its recovery rating
on Belize's foreign-currency debt to '4', indicating an estimated
post-default recovery of 30%-50%. In addition, Standard & Poor's
affirmed its 'C' short-term foreign-currency rating on Belize.
The outlook on the long-term foreign-currency rating is negative.
Standard & Poor's also affirmed its 'CCC+' long-term and 'C'
short-term local-currency sovereign credit ratings on Belize.
The outlook on the long-term local-currency rating remains
stable. The 'B-' transfer and convertibility assessment is
unchanged.
"We lowered the long-term foreign-currency rating to reflect the
increasing likelihood that Belize's majority party will seek to
restructure the sovereign's external debt," explained Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Kelli Bissett. "Although the United
People's Party) is favored to win a majority in the March 7
parliamentary elections, we believe the political incentives are
sufficient for either the UDP or the opposition--the People's
United Party (PUP)--to pursue such a restructuring. This issue
has become more prominent because whereas discussions about the
debt restructuring had largely been rhetorical, recently the UDP
has begun to frame it as an explicit campaign pledge.
Specifically, the debt under discussion is the US$546.8 million
superbond due 2029, which resulted from Belize's 2007 debt
exchange."
"Political incentives to continue servicing the superbond have
diminished given domestic social spending priorities amid low
economic growth. Indeed, the March parliamentary campaign has
brought to the fore public pressure for greater social spending
and higher public-sector wages. The government's weak revenue
base and limited access to financing constrain fiscal spending
and will likely result in dwindling liquid assets," S&P said.
"Our base-case scenario is that following the March 7 elections,
the next administration will seek a restructuring of its external
commercial debt. We expect this announcement before the next
coupon payment falls due in August, when the final interest rate
step-up on the superbond to 8.5% occurs. In addition, our base-
case assumes that Belize would seek a degree of debt relief by
restructuring and lowering the government's external debt burden.
Thus, we have lowered our recovery rating to '4' from '3',
estimating a recovery of 30%-50%. We also assume any proposed
restructuring will be confined to Belize's external commercial
debt (consolidated in the superbond) and that the sovereign will
continue to honor its financial obligations to bilateral
creditors, multilateral financial institutions, and holders of
its
local-currency debt. Although we expect ongoing support from
multilateral creditors, we do not believe that an IMF support
program or stand-by agreement is politically tenable at this
time," S&P said.
"The negative outlook reflects the increasing likelihood the
government of Belize could seek debt relief by pursuing a
distressed restructuring this year, possible with an announcement
before August. Under the most probable scenario, we would lower
the rating if the government announces plans to seek a distressed
restructuring or if additional external liquidity pressure were
to emerge," Ms. Bissett said. "The ratings could stabilize if
the government demonstrates a clear commitment to service the
superbond and if financing prospects and the growth outlook
improve."

BANCO BTG: Moody's Assigns 'D+' Bank Financial Strength Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service issued a summary credit opinion on
Banco BTG Pactual S.A. and certain regulatory disclosures
regarding its ratings. Its summary opinion does not constitute
any change in Moody's ratings or rating rationale for Banco BTG
Pacutal S.A. and its affiliates.
Moody's current ratings on Banco BTG Pactual S.A. and its
affiliates are:
Senior Unsecured MTN Program (foreign currency) ratings of
(P)Baa3
Long Term Bank Deposits (domestic and foreign currency) ratings
of Baa3
Bank Financial Strength rating of D+
Short Term Bank Deposits (domestic and foreign currency) ratings
of P-3
Other Short Term (foreign currency) ratings of (P)P-3
NSR Long Term Bank Deposits (domestic currency) ratings of
Aaa.br
NSR Short Term Bank Deposits (domestic currency) ratings of BR-1
Banco BTG Pactual S.A., Grand Cayman Branch
Senior Unsecured (foreign currency) ratings of Baa3
Senior Unsecured MTN Program (foreign currency) ratings of
(P)Baa3
Other Short Term (foreign currency) ratings of (P)P-3
Ratings Rationale
Moody's assigns a bank financial strength rating of D+ to Banco
BTG Pactual S.A., which translates to a Baseline Credit
Assessment (BCA) of Baa3. Moody's believes that the probability
of systemic support for BTG Pactual is very limited, given the
bank's most participation in the industry's deposit base. The
outlook on all ratings is stable.
The bank's ratings reflect Moody's view of BTG Pactual's well-
established and strong wholesale and investment banking franchise
in Brazil with good distribution capabilities in the local and
global markets, that supports its fixed income and capital market
businesses. BTG Pactual's robust capital position and
domestically sourced funding are important elements to sustain
expansion plans. BTG Pactual's partnership structure is viewed
as credit positive because of the inherently higher risk aversion
of partners, as is the case overall.
The rating captures management's diversification strategy and the
increased focus it is placing on fee-based businesses that should
continue to improving earnings recurrence over the medium term.
The growth of BTG Pactual's asset management and wealth
management activities has been helping to balance the significant
reliance on revenues from trading and capital markets, which have
an inherently volatile and more levered nature.
The rapid expansion in 2010, which resulted in the doubling of
its assets relative to 2009, have build-up securities trading
activities significantly with limited effect on profitability
ratios. The growth is explained, in part, by a much larger
securities inventory, as well as by loans and derivative
exposures that were originated in line with BTG Pactual's
investment banking strategy. These exposures, however, tend to
substantially increase credit risk concentration, which is a
source of concern particularly in the context of an increasingly
competitive market environment.
A rating challenge for the bank is to manage the growing credit-
related exposure generated by the wholesale financial services,
fixed income division, equity sales and capital markets, as the
bank focuses on enhancing its presence, in times of fierce
competition in the segment.
Rating Outlook
The outlook on all ratings is stable.
What Could Change the Rating - Up
Greater contribution from fee-based and less capital-intensive
activities, or other recurring revenues, that reduces the
relative importance of trading revenues may enhance earnings
stability. Potential upward pressure would also come from proven
disciplined risk management and adequate risk infrastructure and
governance in support of the bank's growth plans and the
complexity of its businesses.
What Could Change the Rating - Down
Sharp increase in wholesale lending appetite or rapid growth in
illiquid assets as the bank expands could result in negative
rating implications. Downward pressure could also come if BTG
Pactual were to increase its lending activities and if this was
done without commensurate risk reductions elsewhere.
BANCO BVA: Moody's Keeps 'B2' Sr. Unsec. Foreign Currency Ratings
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service issued a summary credit opinion on
Banco BVA S.A. and includes certain regulatory disclosures
regarding its ratings. The summary opinion does not constitute
any change in Moody's ratings or rating rationale for Banco BVA
S.A.
Moody's current ratings on Banco BVA S.A. are:
Senior Unsecured (foreign currency) ratings of B2
Senior Unsecured MTN Program (foreign currency) ratings of (P)B2
Long Term Bank Deposits (domestic and foreign currency) ratings
of B2
Bank Financial Strength rating of E+
Short Term Bank Deposits (domestic and foreign currency) ratings
of NP
Other Short Term (foreign currency) ratings of (P)NP
NSR Long Term Bank Deposits (domestic currency) ratings of
Ba1.br
NSR Short Term Bank Deposits (domestic currency) ratings of BR-3
Ratings Rationale
Moody's assigns an E+ bank financial strength rating to Banco BVA
S.A. (BVA), which translates into a baseline credit assessment
(BCA) of B2. The E+ BFSR reflects a franchise focused on a niche
segment of small- and mid-sized corporate lending and the bank's
loan origination-and-sale platform. BVA's franchise has been
evolving and becoming more robust since late 2007, when the bank
repositioned its business strategy. The rating is constrained by
a funding structure that still has a high concentration of
deposits from individual clients; the bank, however, has grown
over the last two years, as shown by a volume of total deposits
that reached R$3.0 billion at year-end 2010.
After the bank's business repositioning in November 2006
management conducted a strategic shift towards short-term middle-
market lending and building a more robust deposit base, which
resulted in the fast growth of the bank's balance sheet. Recent
efforts to enhance the bank's capital position include the
creation of a private equity investment fund in the 3Q10. The
fund's assets consist of non-voting, preferred shares that were
used to increase the bank's capital, although the additional
capital still needs to be approved by the Central Bank.
According to management, the fund had roughly R$133 million in
assets in December 2010, which brought BVA's equity to R$503
million.
Management is committed to revamping the bank's operations and to
making them more efficient and competitive, with the support of
strict risk controls. Efforts to strengthen the funding base led
to a swift increase in deposits in 2009 and 2010. Moody's
clearly recognizes these initiatives as positive factors;
although the presence of a high volume of deposits held by
individual clients poses a risk to liquidity. One measure to
mitigate liquidity risk is maintaining a position of cash and
equivalent instruments twice the size of equity. Despite the
bank's consistency in reporting modest but stable profitability
ratios and low delinquency ratios, increasing competition in
local markets and higher funding costs may pressure BVA's
margins.
The B2 global local-currency deposit rating incorporates Banco
BVA's baseline credit assessment of B2, as well as Moody's belief
that the bank would receive no systemic support in case of stress
because of its limited market share in terms of deposits.
Rating Outlook
On May 25, 2011, the outlooks for BVA's global local-currency
deposit rating, foreign currency deposit rating, and Brazilian
national scale rating were changed to stable from positive. The
stable outlook reflects Moody's concern that the bank's fast
growth in an environment of increased competition and higher
funding costs may potentially compress margins and, therefore,
earnings.
The outlook for BVA's bank financial strength rating is stable.
What Could Change the Rating - Up
Positive rating pressure would derive from a strengthening of the
franchise and the maintenance of a pace of growth that doesn't
deteriorate profitability or asset quality. Moreover, ratings
would benefit from sustainable improvement in recurring
profitability, most notably in a scenario of potential economic
recovery, in which competition is likely to drive spreads down
and compress margins. A lower concentration in the deposit base
and improvements in the corporate governance structure would also
benefit the ratings.
What Could Change the Rating - Down
Mismanagement of future growth could lead to a rise in
nonperforming indicators, diminished capitalization, and a drop
in the bank's deposit base. All would push the BFSR down. BVA's
ratings could also come under stress if a significant problem
with assets quality occurs.
CENTRAIS ELECTRICAS: S&P Lowers Corporate Credit Rating to 'D'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Centrais Eletricas do Para S.A. to 'D' from 'CCC+'.
"At the same time, we lowered our ratings on Companhia de Energia
Eletrica do Estado do Tocantins and Centrais
Eletricas Matogrossenses S.A. to 'CCC' from 'B-', and placed them
on CreditWatch with negative implications," S&P said.
"The 'D' rating on Celpa reflects its judicial reorganization
filing on Feb. 28, 2012. Although the filing does not include
other rated subsidiaries of the Rede Energia group, we lowered
the ratings on CEMAT and CELTINS to reflect the even more limited
financial flexibility that these companies will have," S&P said.
"Celpa has struggled to improve its business risk profile, which
we see as 'vulnerable' in the past few years, reflecting
operating challenges stemming from the characteristics of its
concession area and poor asset performance. It's the most
inefficient electricity distributor in the country, with energy
losses of 30%, poor service quality indicators, and frequently
not in compliance with the regulator's standards. Celpa's
'highly leveraged' financial profile and 'weak' liquidity were
the main drivers for our previous 'CCC+' rating. A consecutive
breach of financial covenants that required constant waiver
negotiations exacerbated its refinancing risks," S&P said.
"Although Celpa's filing should not affect CEMAT's and CELTINS'
concessions, it should put further pressure to roll over their
existing debt. CEMAT has been a dividend contributor to Rede
group and, in our view, will face not only a greater challenge to
roll over outstanding credit lines, but also pressure to upstream
cash to the holding company," S&P said.
"We expect to resolve our CreditWatch listing on CEMAT and
CELTINS during the next 90 days, after performing a comprehensive
analysis of the impact of Celpa's judicial reorganization filing
on these Rede subsidiaries. We could lower the ratings further
if we don't see concrete signs that both CEMAT and CELTINS
continue to access some sort of funding," S&P said.

VITRO SAB: Implements Mexican Reorganization Plan
-------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News reports that Mexican glassmaker Vitro SAB
announced it has implemented the reorganization plan approved by
a judge in Monterrey, Mexico. The reorganization in Mexico was
fought unsuccessfully by holders of some of the $1.2 billion in
defaulted bonds.
Mexican glassmaker Vitro SAB de CV won approval of its
reorganization plan by a judge in Monterrey, Mexico, the company
said in a statement Feb. 7, 2012.
The reorganization was being fought by holders of some of the
$1.2 billion in defaulted bonds. Bondholders were in opposition
based on an argument that the company created $1.9 billion in
debt owing by the parent to subsidiaries and used the affiliates'
debt to vote down opposition from bondholders. Bondholders also
opposed the plan because it wouldn't pay their debt in full,
although shareholders would retain ownership.
Vitro characterized the ad hoc bondholder group as "vulture
investors" who have "an established pattern of highly litigious
behavior."
About Vitro SAB
Headquartered in Monterrey, Mexico, Vitro, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV:
VITROA; NYSE: VTO), through its two subsidiaries, Vitro Envases
Norteamerica, SA de C.V. and Vimexico, S.A. de C.V., is a global
glass producer, serving the construction and automotive glass
markets and glass containers needs of the food, beverage, wine,
liquor, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
Vitro is the largest manufacturer of glass containers and flat
glass in Mexico, with consolidated net sales in 2009 of MXN23,991
million (US$1.837 billion).
Vitro defaulted on its debt in 2009, and sought to restructure
around US$1.5 billion in debt, including US$1.2 billion in notes.
Vitro launched an offer to buy back or swap US$1.2 billion in
debt from bondholders. The tender offer would be consummated
with a bankruptcy filing in Mexico and Chapter 15 filing in the
United States. Vitro said noteholders would recover as much as
73% by exchanging existing debt for cash, new debt or convertible
bonds.
Concurso Mercantil & Chapter 15 Proceedings
Vitro SAB on Dec. 13, 2010, filed its voluntary petition for a
pre-packaged Concurso Plan in the Federal District Court for
Civil and Labor Matters for the State of Nuevo Leon, commencing
its voluntary concurso mercantil proceedings -- the Mexican
equivalent of a prepackaged Chapter 11 reorganization. Vitro SAB
also commenced parallel proceedings under Chapter 15 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-16619) in Manhattan
on Dec. 13, 2010, to seek U.S. recognition and deference to its
bankruptcy proceedings in Mexico.
Early in January 2011, the Mexican Court dismissed the Concurso
Mercantil proceedings. The judge said Vitro couldn't push
through a plan to buy back or swap US$1.2 billion in debt from
bondholders based on the vote of US$1.9 billion of intercompany
debt when third-party creditors were opposed. Vitro as a result
dismissed the first Chapter 15 petition following the ruling by
the Mexican court.
On April 12, 2011, an appellate court in Mexico reinstated the
reorganization. Accordingly, Vitro SAB on April 14 re-filed a
petition for recognition of its Mexican reorganization in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 11-
11754).
The Vitro parent told the Mexico stock exchange that it received
sufficient acceptances of its reorganization pending in a court
in Monterrey. The approval vote was evidently obtained using
claims of affiliates. The bondholders are opposing the Mexican
reorganization plan because shareholders could retain ownership
while bondholders aren't being paid in full. Bondholders
previously cited an "independent analyst" who estimated the
Mexican plan was worth 49% to 54% of creditors' claims.
In the present Chapter 15 case, the Debtor seeks to block any
creditor suits in the U.S. pending the reorganization in Mexico.
Chapter 11 Proceedings
A group of noteholders opposed the exchange -- namely Knighthead
Master Fund, L.P., Lord Abbett Bond-Debenture Fund, Inc.,
Davidson Kempner Distressed Opportunities Fund LP, and Brookville
Horizons Fund, L.P. Together, they held US$75 million, or
approximately 6% of the outstanding bond debt. The Noteholder
group commenced involuntary bankruptcy cases under Chapter 11 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code against Vitro Asset Corp. (Bankr. N.D.
Tex. Case No. 10-47470) and 15 other affiliates on Nov. 17, 2010.
Vitro engaged Susman Godfrey, L.L.P. as U.S. special litigation
counsel to analyze the potential rights that Vitro may exercise
in the United States against the ad hoc group of dissident
bondholders and its advisors.
A larger group of noteholders, known as the Ad Hoc Group of Vitro
Noteholders -- comprised of holders, or investment advisors to
holders, which represent approximately US$650 million of the
Senior Notes due 2012, 2013 and 2017 issued by Vitro -- was not
among the Chapter 11 petitioners, although the group has
expressed concerns over the exchange offer. The group says the
exchange offer exposes Noteholders who consent to potential
adverse consequences that have not been disclosed by Vitro. The
group is represented by John Cunningham, Esq., and Richard
Kebrdle, Esq. at White & Case LLP.
The U.S. affiliates subject to the involuntary petitions are
Vitro Chemicals, Fibers & Mining, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case
No.10-47472); Vitro America, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-
47473); Troper Services, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-
47474); Super Sky Products, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-
47475); Super Sky International, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No.
10-47476); VVP Holdings, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 0-47477);
Amsilco Holdings, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47478);
B.B.O. Holdings, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47479);
Binswanger Glass Company (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47480);

Holdings, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47484); and Vitro
Packaging, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47485).
A bankruptcy judge in Fort Worth, Texas, denied involuntary
Chapter 11 petitions filed against four U.S. subsidiaries. On
April 6, 2011, Vitro SAB agreed to put Vitro units -- Vitro
America LLC and three other U.S. subsidiaries -- that were
subject to the involuntary petitions into voluntary Chapter 11.
The Texas Court on April 21 denied involuntary petitions against
the eight U.S. subsidiaries that didn't consent to being in
Chapter 11.
Kurtzman Carson Consultants is the claims and notice agent to
Vitro America, et al. Alvarez & Marsal North America LLC, is the
Debtors' operations and financial advisor.
The official committee of unsecured creditors appointed in the
Chapter 11 cases of Vitro America, et al., has selected Sarah
Link Schultz, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, in
Dallas, Texas, and Michael S. Stamer, Esq., Abid Qureshi, Esq.,
and Alexis Freeman, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP,
in New York, as counsel. Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P.
serves as financial advisor to the Committee.
The U.S. Vitro companies sold their assets to American Glass
Enterprises LLC, an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners Inc., for
US$55 million.
U.S. subsidiaries of Vitro SAB are having their cases converted
to liquidations in Chapter 7, court records in January 2012 show.
In December, the U.S. Trustee in Dallas filed a motion to convert
the subsidiaries' cases to liquidations in Chapter 7. The
Justice Department's bankruptcy watchdog said US$5.1 million in
bills were run up in bankruptcy and hadn't been paid.

* PUERTO RICO: February Bankruptcies Falls 11% From 2011
--------------------------------------------------------
Caribbean Business reports that Puerto Rico Boletin, a local
bankruptcy data-gathering service, revealed that the downward
trend in bankruptcy filings continued in February, falling 11%
from the same month a year ago, according preliminary data issued
by the Puerto Rico Boletin.
However, the 852 bankruptcy cases in February were up from the
734 lodged in January, according to Caribbean Business. The
report relates that the 299 Chapter 7 (liquidation) cases last
month were 20 less than a year ago, while Chapter 13 (repayment
plan for individuals) cases totaled 534, down from 1,013 in
February 2011.
Caribbean Business notes that Chapter 11 (business
reorganization) cases totaled 15 in February, up from 14 last
year.
The report says that the four Chapter 12 (reorganization for
farmers) filings last month was one less than the same month a
year ago. Caribbean Business discloses that bankruptcy filings
fell overall in Puerto Rico in 2011 despite an increase in the
number of commercial cases.
Bankruptcy debt, meanwhile, climbed even as the number of overall
cases fell, statistics show, the report says.
Caribbean Business notes that a total of 11,266 bankruptcies were
filed in Puerto Rico in 2011, a 9% decrease from the previous
year. The 12,380 bankruptcies in 2010 were 10% more than in
2009, the report adds.
Commercial bankruptcies totaled 971 last year, 14 percent more
than the 850 lodged in 2010, according to the Puerto Rico
Boletin.

TRINIDAD CEMENT: Dealers Worry as Cement Runs Low
-------------------------------------------------
Richardson Dhalai at Trinidad and Tobago Newsday reports that
Hardware Dealers Association President Joseph Callender, has
described the situation regarding cement supplies as "chaotic"
and yesterday reiterated that strike action at Trinidad Cement
Limited (TCL) should be resolved as soon as possible.
The Oilfields Workers' Trade Union (OWTU) served strike notice at
TCL and its sister company, TCL Packaging, at Claxton Bay and
Mayo respectively, on February 27, after negotiations between the
union and companies reached a stalemate, according to Trinidad
and Tobago Newsday. The report notes that the strike action
allows the approximately 600 workers to engage in strike action
for a period of 90 days.
Trinidad and Tobago Newsday discloses that Mr. Callender said
cement sales were continuing at TCL's warehouses in south
Trinidad and Arima, but hardware dealers were not receiving as
much as they would like to purchase.
However, the report notes that Mr. Callender said that the
situation was becoming chaotic because contractors have begun to
buy cement for ongoing projects.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
March 5, 2012, RJR News said that Trinidad Cement Limited will
import cement from Jamaica as the strike by workers keeps its
operations closed. It will also import supplies from Barbabos,
according to RJR News. The report noted that TCL said it had
arranged to get supplies from its Caribbean Cement subsidiary in
Jamaica and Arawak plant in Barbados to minimize the impact of
the industrial impasse. The report said that TCL said it will
distribute the product throughout Trinidad and Tobago so that
customers have access.
About TCL
Trinidad Cement Limited is a cement company and is the parent
company of Caribbean Cement Company Limited.
* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Oct. 5, 2011, RJR News reports that Trinidad Cement Limited has
now reached an agreement with its debtors on the terms and
conditions attached to the repayment of its debt. The agreement
will convert most of the company's debt into an 8-year facility,
to be paid, quarterly, from March 2013, according to RJR News.
The report related that deal also includes certain performance
criteria for repaying the debt and if those are not met, the
company will be penalized.

CA LA ELECTRICIDAD: Fitch Affirms Issuer Default Rating at 'B+'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed C.A. La Electricidad de Caracas's
(EDC) local and foreign currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) at
'B+' as well as its national scale long- and short-term ratings
of 'AAA(ven)' and 'F-1+(ven)', respectively. Fitch also affirms
EDC's approximately US$663 million senior unsecured debt issuance
due 2014 and 2018 at 'B+/RR4'.
The Ratings Outlook is Stable.
EDC's credit quality reflects the company's linkage to the
government of Venezuela, as its majority shareholder is
Corporacion Electrica Nacional S.A., a public entity ascribed to
the Ministry of Popular Power for Electricity, in charge of
operating Venezuela's electricity system. CORPOELEC took control
of EDC following the transfer of 93.62% of EDC's stock to
CORPOELEC from Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA), the national
oil company. This linkage is further heightened by the
increasing government control of operations and the subsidies the
latter provides to finance EDC's operational costs and capital
expenditures.
Ratings Linked to the Government:
EDC receives explicit support from both PDVSA and the government,
and likely CORPOELEC, in the form of subsidized fuel costs,
access to foreign currency and government assistance to cover
operating losses and capital expenditures. As previously
disclosed the Venezuelan government spun-off EDC from PDVSA and
into a stated owned entity called CORPOELEC. The transfer of the
shares is viewed as neutral for EDC as it is now consolidated in
to a larger integrated energy company although with potentially
equally negative operating margins and dependence on similar
support.
The 2018 bond issue covenants allow for the eventual
consolidation of EDC into a third party, CORPOELEC, as long as
the latter assumes, by supplemental indenture, all of EDC's
obligations under current indenture and the notes.
Margins Remain Negative:
EDC's profitability has significantly deteriorated as a result of
a tariff freeze since 2002 and increased financial burden
associated with its new operational responsibilities in Aragua,
Miranda and Nueva Esparta states. The company's financial
metrics have remained weak due to the tariff freeze and
inefficient generation units. Furthermore, high inflation has
contributed to higher costs, further impacting profitability
margins. EDC will likely continue to report operating losses as
a result of no expected changes in tariffs. However, a potential
reduction in operating losses could come from focusing on
decreasing non technical losses (electricity theft) and improving
collections, both from the public and private sectors.
During the LTM ended Sept. 30, 2011, EDC's EBITDA marginally
improve but was still negative US$68 million from negative US$148
million in fiscal 2010. The company reported positive Cash Flow
from Operations (CFFO) of US$209 million during the same period,
primarily as a result in an increase in other accounts payables
due to the increasing capital expenditures in new capacity.
Fitch does not expect the government to implement a tariff
adjustment in the short term, and as such EBITDA margins will
continue to deteriorate, increasing its dependence on government
transfers to meet its cash needs.
Sovereign Support Needed to Fund CAPEX:
As of the last 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2011, Cash Flow from
Operations (CFO) was significantly insufficient to cover the
company's capital expenditures of US$889 million. As a result,
EDC received US$396 million in government financing, mostly
coming from CORPOELEC, 'El Fondo Conjunto Chino Venezolano
(FCCV)' and FONDEN, a special Fund that has channeled funds in
the past to respond to the electricity crisis experienced during
the first semester of 2010.
Going forward, the continuing support of the Venezuelan
government will be key to maintaining the financial viability of
the electricity sector in general and of EDC's assets in
particular as CORPOELEC is expected to continue to receive
additional funding through the execution of the national budget
to finance and implement the government's sector initiatives.
Liquidity improves moderately:
As of Sept. 30, 2011, EDC had US$100 million of cash on hand; an
improvement over liquidity registered at the end of FY2010 (US$71
million ). This result is explained in part by cash subsidies
received from the government to cover operational costs but could
revert in the short term if the continuation of the tariff lag
and weakening generating capacity further diminish operating
results, thereby putting pressure on organic cash generation.
EDC's total debt was US$663 million by September 2011, comprised
primarily of the US$650 million notes due in 2018, making debt
maturities quite manageable in the medium term.

***********
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
