STANFORD FINANCIAL: Founder Guilty of US$7-Bil. Ponzi Scheme
------------------------------------------------------------
A federal jury in Houston, Texas, on Tuesday convicted Robert
Allen Stanford, the former Board of Directors Chairman of
Stanford International Bank, for orchestrating a 20-year
investment fraud scheme in which he misappropriated $7 billion
from SIB to finance his personal businesses.

Following a six-week trial before U.S. District Judge David
Hittner, and approximately three days of deliberation, the jury
found Mr. Stanford guilty on 13 of 14 counts in the indictment.

Mr. Stanford, 61, was convicted of one count of conspiracy to
commit wire and mail fraud, four counts of wire fraud, five
counts of mail fraud, one count of conspiracy to obstruct a U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, one count of
obstruction of an SEC investigation and one count of conspiracy
to commit money laundering.  The jury found Mr. Stanford not
guilty on one count of wire fraud.

The Wall Street Journal says the jury comprised of eight men and
four women.

At sentencing, Mr. Stanford faces a maximum prison sentence of 20
years for the count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud,
each count of wire and mail fraud, and the count of conspiracy to
commit money laundering, and five years for the count of
conspiracy to obstruct an SEC investigation and the count of
obstruction of an SEC investigation.

The guilty verdict was announced by Assistant Attorney General
Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department's Criminal Division;
U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson of the Southern District of Texas;
FBI Assistant Director Kevin Perkins of the Criminal
Investigative Division; Assistant Secretary of Labor for the
Employee Benefits Security Administration Phyllis C. Borzi; Chief
Postal Inspector Guy J. Cottrell; Special Agent in Charge Lucy
Cruz of the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigations
(IRS-CI).

The investigation was conducted by the FBI's Houston Field
Office, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the IRS-CI and the
U.S. Department of Labor, Employee Benefits Security
Administration.  The case was prosecuted by Deputy Chief William
Stellmach of the Criminal Division's Fraud Section, Assistant
U.S. Attorney Gregg Costa of the Southern District of Texas and
Trial Attorney Andrew Warren of the Criminal Division's Fraud
Section.

Daniel Gilbert and Tom Fowler, writing for The Wall Street
Journal, report that Mr. Stanford faces a maximum of 230 years in
prison.  WSJ relates Mr. Stanford's attorneys, while still under
a court order to not discuss the case, told reporters they would
appeal but didn't specify on what grounds.  Prosecutors declined
to comment.

According to WSJ, the end of Mr. Stanford's criminal case, which
dragged on for nearly three years, could allow investors to
attempt to recover hundreds of millions of dollars from his
accounts and the assets of Stanford Financial Group.  A judge has
placed on hold the civil suit brought against him by the
Securities and Exchange Commission while the criminal case is
pending.  An appeal of the verdict, however, may delay investors'
recovery efforts, the report notes.

WSJ also notes that after the verdict, jurors began to hear the
case on the Justice Department's efforts to seize funds in bank
accounts controlled by Mr. Stanford, estimated to hold more than
$300 million.  The SEC, in a separate civil action, could ask a
judge for permission to move forward with its case if it believes
there are additional assets to recover.

WSJ recounts Mr. Stanford has been jailed since June 2009 because
he was judged to be a flight risk.  In prison, Mr. Stanford was
beaten in September 2009 by a fellow inmate.  Mr. Stanford
complained of memory loss from the head trauma, and a court found
that he was so addicted to his prescribed painkillers that he
wasn't competent to stand trial. In December 2011, a judge found
him competent and the trial commenced in January.

WSJ also recounts that in 2008, before his downfall, Mr. Stanford
was the 205th richest American with a net worth of $2.2 billion,
according to Forbes magazine.  His holdings in Antigua, where he
held a dual citizenship, included banks, airlines and the
country's biggest newspaper.

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).

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

On Feb. 16, 2009, the United States District Court for the

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.

------------------------------------------------------
RJR News reports that in the face of ongoing complaints from
Claro Jamaica dealers and customers about the impending shutdown
of the Claro network, Digicel Group Limited said over 80% of the
Claro Jamaica subscriber base has migrated to its network.

The company, however, said it's attempting to respond to the
outstanding concerns of Claro Jamaica subscribers and dealers,

complaints from dealers and customers but he said they have been

year acquired Claro Jamaica's operations from America Movil, has

customers will need to migrate to the Digicel network in order to
keep their Claro numbers and any remaining balance on their
account, according to RJR News.  The report noted that Digicel

VITRO SAB: Moves to Enforce Mexican Reorganization in U.S.
----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Vitro SAB began the process of finding out whether
courts in the U.S. will uphold and enforce the Mexican
glassmaker's bankruptcy reorganization plan, which was approved
by a court in Monterrey, Mexico, and implemented last month.

According to the report, Vitro filed papers on March 2 in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Dallas asking the judge to enforce the
Mexican reorganization plan and halt suits by bondholders aimed
at collecting on the defaulted bonds.  The first opportunity for
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Harlin "Cooter" Hale to rule could come
quickly because Vitro filed a motion for a temporary restraining
order to halt the bondholders' legal actions in the U.S.  No
hearing date has been set as of yet.

Vitro, the report relates, argues that the reorganization should
be enforced in the U.S. because bondholders were given full due
process rights in the Mexican courts.  The company contends that
the Mexican court's proceedings should be enforced because they
weren't "manifestly contrary to the public policy of the U.S."
Vitro told Hale that U.S. courts enforced Mexican reorganizations
on six prior occasions.

Vitro in February said 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
US$1.2 billion in defaulted bonds.

The reorganization was being fought by holders of some of the
US$1.2 billion in defaulted bonds.  Bondholders were in
opposition based on an argument that the company created US$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.

BANCO DE CREDITO: Moody's Affirms D+ Bank Finc'l. Strength Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed all of Banco de Credito del
Peru (BCP)'s ratings including its D+ bank financial strength
rating (BFSR), Baa2/Prime-2 long and short term local currency
deposit ratings, and Baa3/Prime-3 long and short term foreign
currency deposit ratings.  At the same time, Moody's affirmed the
Baa3 local currency subordinated debt rating and the Baa2 and
Baa3 ratings of the foreign currency senior and subordinated debt
issued via its Panamanian Branch.

All the ratings have a stable outlook, with the exception of the
foreign currency deposit rating, which has a positive outlook, in
line with the positive outlook of the sovereign ceiling for
foreign currency deposits in Peru.

The following ratings were affirmed:

Banco de Credito del Peru:

  Bank financial strength rating: D+, stable
  Long term local currency deposit rating: Baa2, stable
  Short term local currency deposit rating: Prime-2
  Long term foreign currency deposit rating: Baa3, positive
  Short term foreign currency deposit rating: Prime-3

Banco de Credito del Peru -- Panama Branch

  Foreign currency senior debt rating: Baa2, stable
  Foreign currency subordinated debt rating: Baa3, stable
  Local currency subordinated debt rating: Baa3, stable

Ratings Rationale

The affirmation of BCP's ratings reflects the bank's growing core
profitability, increasing business diversification, well managed
asset quality and liquidity, and improving capitalization.  BCP
continued to expand during 2011 and was able to slightly increase
its lending market shares amid intensifying competition from both
international and regional players.  Moody's notes the bank's
earnings continued to benefit from healthy growth of net interest
income and fees during 2011, helping to offset the strong rise in
operating and provisioning expenses due to business expansion.

Moody's notes this growth is not without its challenges, however.
BCP's net interest margin (NIM) has come under pressure in recent
years due in part to its largely corporate loan mix, which yields
lower spreads, and the addition of a large amount of term debt to
support the bank's longer term mortgage and commercial lending
portfolios. Dampening margins across the system call into
question the risk-reward opportunities in corporate banking and
point to further shifts towards higher yielding business by the
banks in Peru.

BCP is looking to further expand its already extensive retail
franchise, but with greater emphasis on retail and consumer
lending, including mortgages and credit cards, as well as on
small business lending (SME) and microfinance.  At the same time,
high growth in the higher risk consumer and SME lending segments
could change the bank's asset quality profile.  On the positive
side, greater emphasis on these business lines should boost fee
capture and provide increased cross-selling opportunities.

On the corporate side, challenges include BCP's relatively high
and increasing single borrower concentrations, as well as the
bank's increasing appetite for corporate finance and investment
banking transactions, in Peru and in the region.  While the bank
and the group have shown a disciplined approach to this business
so far, the recent acquisition of Colombia's brokerage house
Correval (which is pending of regulatory approval) exposes the
bank to the potential for greater asset quality risks and
earnings volatility.  At this juncture, the bank's strong
earnings, reserve coverage and capitalization provide adequate
buffer to absorb unexpected losses, said Moody's.

BCP's Baa2 local currency deposit rating reflects one notch of
uplift as a result of Moody's assessment of a very high
probability of systemic support for the bank's obligations if
needed.  The Baa3 foreign currency deposit rating remains
constrained by the Peruvian country ceiling for deposits, and has
a positive outlook in line with that of the ceiling.

Based in Lima, Peru, Banco de Credito del Peru reported US$25.5
billion in consolidated assets, US$2.3 billion in equity and
US$534 million in net income as of Dec. 31, 2011.  It was the
country's largest bank, with a 33% market share of loans and 34%
of deposits.  BCP is the largest subsidiary of Credicorp Ltd.
(97.41% owned), a leading Peruvian financial services holding
company.

The last rating action on BCP was on March 21, 2011, when Moody's
affirmed the Baa3 long term foreign currency deposit rating and
changed the outlook to positive from stable.

CARIBBEAN RESTAURANTS: Moody's Raises CFR to 'B3' from 'Caa2'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the ratings of Caribbean
Restaurants LLC -- the borrowing entity of the company's pre-
existing debt obligations, including its Corporate Family Rating
(CFR) to B3 from Caa2 and Probability of Default Rating to Caa1
from Caa2, due to the completion of the refinancing as expected
per Moody's press release on January 27, 2012. In addition, the
upgraded CFR and PDR have been moved and assigned to Restaurant
Holding Company, LLC ("Caribbean" or "NewCo")-- the borrower
under the new credit facilities.  Moody's also affirmed the B3
rating of new $217.5 million senior secured credit facilities
after the company completed the execution of the credit agreement
under the credit facilities. The rating outlook is stable.

The action concludes the review for possible upgrade that was
initiated on January 27, 2012.  All the ratings at the OldCo will
be withdrawn subsequently.

The rating action is as follows:

Restaurant Holding Company, LLC

- Corporate Family Rating -- assigned B3
- Probability of Default Rating -- assigned Caa1
- US$22.5 million senior secured revolving credit facility due
      2016 -- B3 (LGD3, 31%), affirmed
- US$195 million senior secured term loan due 2017 -- B3 (LGD3,
      31%), affirmed

Caribbean Restaurants, LLC

- Corporate Family Rating -- upgraded to B3 from Caa2 and will
     be withdrawn
- Probability of Default Rating -- upgraded to Caa1 from Caa2
     and will be withdrawn
- $147 million senior secured second lien notes due June 2012 --
     Caa1 (LGD3, 39%) will be withdrawn

Ratings Rationale

The assignment of B3 CFR and affirmation of B3 rating on the bank
credit facilities reflect the timely execution of the refinancing
which provides the company with a more manageable debt maturity
schedule and improved liquidity.  The refinancing eliminated the
2012 maturities related to Caribbean's previous bank facility and
senior secured notes.  The rating action also reflects a modest
improvement in financial leverage and cash flow generation due to
reduced debt level and anticipated interest savings as a result
of the transaction.  Positive rating consideration was also given
to the strong name recognition and leading position of the Burger
King brand in the Puerto Rico QSR segment, the seasoned
management team and the company's exclusive development agreement
within Puerto Rico.

"However, we continue to recognize Caribbean's earnings
vulnerability to consumer spending, its small scale, geographic
concentration in Puerto Rico and the still weak local economy,"
explained Moody's lead analyst John Zhao.

The stable rating outlook incorporates Moody's view that the near
term negative pressure on revenue and earnings will persist so
that Caribbean's earnings could likely decline.  However, Moody's
anticipates any decline in earnings will likely be modest and
free cash flow slightly negative at worst, given management's
track record in maintaining steady profitability in a
recessionary yet inflationary environment.  Moody's anticipates
the debt/EBITDA (excluding preferred equity adjustment) will not
rise materially above 6.5x in the coming year.

Caribbean's rating and stable outlook could face downward
pressure if its operating metrics such as same store sales and
operating profit declined, resulting in sustained debt/EBITDA
(excluding preferred equity adjustment) approaching 7.0x or
negative free cash flow.

Positive ratings momentum is not expected in the near term, but
could occur if the company is able to increase its scale and
diversification, as well as demonstrate an ability to sustain
debt-to-EBITDA below 5.0x.

The refinancing has shifted the company's debt structure to a
primarily all first-lien bank loan construct from previous
bond/bank structure, resulting in an improved family recovery
assumption to 65% from 50% according to the loss given default
methodology. This in turn has resulted in a Caa1 PDR, one notch
below the CFR.

Caribbean, through an exclusive territorial development agreement
with Burger King Corporation, is the sole franchisee of Burger
King restaurants in Puerto Rico with approximately 177 units as
of July 2011. The company also owns four Firehouse Subs
franchisee restaurants through a recent acquisition. Caribbean is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of BKH Acquisition Corp., which in turn
is majority-owned by Castle Harlan Partners, a private equity
firm that purchased the company in 2004.

TRINIDAD CEMENT: NWU Says Government Union Did Not Approach Them
----------------------------------------------------------------
RJR News reports that the National Workers Union (NWU) said it
has not been approached by any of its counterparts in Trinidad
and Tobago regarding a move to stall the export of supplies by
Caribbean Cement to its parent company in the twin island
republic.

Trinidadian media reported that the Oilfields Workers' Trade
Union (OWTU) had contacted trade unions in Jamaica to ask that no
cement be sent during the duration of the strike at Trinidad
Cement Limited, according to RJR News.  The report relates that
TCL was arranging to get supplies from Jamaica as the strike by
its workers had led to a shortage of cement in Trinidad and
Tobago.

However, RJR News notes that the NWU which represents
administrative, supervisory and production workers at Caribbean
Cement said it's not aware of the request by the Trinidadian
trade union.

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.

Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative

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.
