* BARBADOS: Forecasts Little Growth for 2013
--------------------------------------------
RJR News reports that Barbados is forecasting less than 1%
economic growth for 2013 up from no real growth last year.

The Central Bank of Barbados said the 0.7% forecast for this year
is based on the most recent outlook by the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) of average growth of 1.7% for the United States, the
United Kingdom and Canada, the island's major trading partners,
according to RJR News.

The report relates that in a review of the Barbados economic
performance for 2012 and prospects for 2013, the Central Bank said
the projections were also based on an improvement in consumer
expenditure in these markets of 1.2%.

No significant gain in employment is expected, the report says.

CORAL BEACH: Wardman Seeks to Reassure Over Possible Receivership
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Royal Gazette reports that George Wardman has broken his
silence over fears for the future of the Coral Beach Club, said to
be facing imminent receivership.

In a letter to CBC's some 1,100 members, he sought to reassure
that the private beach and tennis club would continue to operate
if it is put into receivership, according to the report.

"We think we should warn you that the Club is rumored to soon be
mentioned in a 'receivership action . . . .  I want to assure you
that the property, the buildings, the courts, the beach and all
the rights to them are still intact and not affected by this. This
is intended to be the orderly handover from the earlier tenant
(Brickman) to their lender (Swedbank)," the report quoted Mr.
Wardman as saying.

The report relates that Brickman has said it wants out of its
lease, saying it's no longer interested in developing the property
as a five-star resort. CBC members rejected Brickman's plan to
sell them the resort's facilities for $28 million, leading to
concerns the club could close, be sold to another party, or handed
back to mortgagee Swedbank.

The report discloses that a group of concerned members and at
least one New York-based firm are among potential buyers for the
club.

The current lease payments are for annual rental payments of
$1 million for the Horizon lease and $1 million for the CBC lease
for the next 45 years of the lease, and thereafter drop to
$125,000 for each property for the next 150 years of the original
200-year leases which commenced in 2008, the report discloses.

BC LUXCO: Fitch Assigns BB Foreign Currency Issuer Default Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned the following ratings to BC Luxco 1
S.A., Atento Group's new intermediate holding company:

-- Foreign currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) 'BB'; and
-- Proposed USD250 million senior secured notes due 2019 'BB'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

The proceeds are to support the leverage buyout acquisition of
Atento Group by Bain Capital Partners, a private investment firm,
from Telefonica in the amount of EUR932 million. The additional
sources of cash for the transaction include a BRL914 million
(EUR341 million) debenture issued by the main subsidiary Atento
Brasil S.A. and an equity contribution of EUR360 million. Atento
Group's existing debt will be prepaid, which means that the
consolidated on-balance sheet debt will be EUR536 million at the
end of the transaction, with estimated cash of EUR102 million. The
proposed notes will have all subsidiaries, with the exception of
Brazil and Argentina, as guarantors, and will be secured by the
guarantor's shares. Under the new group structure post
acquisition, Luxco is an intermediate holding company controlling
all operational subsidiaries.

Luxco's ratings reflect Atento's increased consolidated leverage
ratio post its acquisition, which is somewhat mitigated by the
group's expected strong cash flow generation in the coming years
and extended debt maturity profile. They also consider the growth
prospects of the contact center sector and the group's business
position as one of the main players in this fragmented market.
Atento has a good geographic diversification, with its main
operations in investment grade countries. Atento's credit quality
is tempered by the strong competition; high revenue concentration
in Telefonica Group; and increasing labor costs and high turnover
in Brazil.

Moderate Leverage Post Acquisition

Fitch expects Atento's consolidated net leverage to reduce to a
more moderate level in the medium term, consistent with the rating
assigned. The net adjusted debt-to-EBITDAR ratio should range
between 3.5x-4.0x, above the 1.5x-3.5x in the last five years. For
the last 12 months (LTM) ended on Sept. 30, 2012, Atento's total
adjusted debt-to-EBITDAR ratio and net adjusted debt-to-EBITDA
ratio were 3.6x and 3.4x, respectively. According to Fitch's
calculations, total adjusted debt of EUR1,193 million incorporates
off-balance sheet debt of EUR883 million related to rental
expenses. On a pro forma basis, post acquisition considering the
LTM ended Sept. 30, 2012, net adjusted debt-to-EBITDAR should
approximate to 4.0x.

Margins Should Remain Strong

Fitch expects EBITDAR margins of 17%-20% in the medium term, which
compares favorably with its peers. Atento's margin can become
under pressure because of the competitive environment and due to
higher labor costs in its operation in Brazil, as this country
contributed with approximately 53% of revenues and 50% of EBITDAR
in 2011. This risk is somewhat mitigated by potential improvement
in margins based on more value added services rendered to clients
and maintenance of cost controls. The group's net revenues have
benefited from the growing trend of the contact center market
worldwide. In the LTM ended Sept. 30, 2012, net revenues of
EUR1,873 million were 3.9% higher than in 2011. Following the same
increasing trend, EBITDAR was EUR334 million in the LTM ended
Sept. 30, 2012, with an adequate EBITDAR margin of 17.8%.

Positive free cash flow (FCF) is expected until the notes are
fully paid. Atento should not distribute dividends during this
period and Fitch foresees capital expenditures at 5% of net
revenues, in line with its sector peers. In the LTM ended Sept.
30, 2012, cash flow from operations (CFFO) recovered to EUR126
million, with capital expenditures of EUR117 million and reduced
dividends of EUR2 million leading to a FCF of EUR6 million. The
ratings incorporate that Atento will not participate in any
acquisition over the next few years.

Strong Business Position

The ratings are supported by Atento's positive geographic
diversification with its main operations in investment grade
countries. Brazil, Spain and Mexico accounted for 77% of revenues
and 81% of EBITDA in 2011. Atento is also one of the main players
in the global fragmented market of contact center, being one of
the leaders in all countries. Market share is estimated at 4.7%
globally and 24% in Brazil.

Extended Debt Maturity Profile

Atento's liquidity risk is mitigated by a strong operational cash
generation and a lengthened debt maturity profile. After the
payment of the existing debt and the conclusion of the proposed
notes and debentures, the initial debt amortization of just EUR26
million will occur after a two year grace period. In the case of
the notes, there is a bullet payment in 2020. The notes are U.S.-
dollar denominated and will be hedged proportionally for the
maturity into EUR and MXN, effectively hedging approximately 65%
of the exposure. The debentures in Reais scheduled to mature from
2014 to 2019 should be paid by Atento Brasil with no currency
risk. A positive FCF should help the group to build higher cash
balances going forward in order to meet financial obligations.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

A negative rating action can occur as a result of a decline in
operational margins combined with negative FCF and inability to
meet expectations of credit metrics improvements. Increased cash
flow generation along with sound liquidity that lead to more
conservative credit metrics can trigger a positive rating action.


DESENVIX ENERGIAS: Moody's Assigns 'B1' Rating; Outlook Stable
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's America Latina Ltda assigned a B1 and Baa1.br ratings to
Desenvix Energias Renovaveis S.A.'s (DESENVIX) 4-year BRL 100
million debentures on the global and national scales,
respectively. Moody's also assigned a Ba3 and A2.br corporate
family ratings to DESENVIX on the global and national scales,
respectively. At the same time, Moody's withdrew DESENVIX's
previous provisional (P) Ba3 and A2.br corporate family ratings as
well as the provisional (P) B1 and Baa1.br ratings assigned to
DESENVIX's 4-year BRL 100 million debentures.

Rating assigned as is follows:

- Corporate Family Rating (CFR) assigned to Desenvix Energias
   Renovaveis S.A: Ba3/A2.br/Stable Outlook

- Ratings assigned to the 4-year BRL100 million debentures issued
   by Desenvix Energias Renovaveis S.A: B1/Baa1.br/Stable Outlook

Rating Rationale

These rating actions have been prompted by the company's recent
announcement on the disbursement of BRL102 million from the China
Development Bank Corporation (CDB) to DESENVIX's subsidiary,
Energen Energias Renovaveis S.A. (ENERGEN), and by DESENVIX's
successful issuance of BRL100 million debentures in the local
market at the end of December, which clearly enhanced the
company's liquidity position.

Moody's expects that ENERGEN will use approximately BRL80 million
of the BRL102 million to pay off existing intercompany loans in
the same amount to its major shareholder DESENVIX. The receipt of
BRL102 million from CDB and the issuance of the BRL100 million
debentures by DESENVIX have satisfied the basic conditions
required for Moody's to withdraw the existing provisional ratings.

Desenvix is a holding company controlled through a shareholding
agreement between Jackson Empreendimentos Ltda (not rated) through
the equity fund FIP Cevix, with 40.65% of Desenvix's voting and
total capital; SN Power, which holds 40.65% of the company's
voting and total capital; and the pension fund FUNCEF, which holds
the remaining 18.7% of the company's voting and total capital. SN
Power is a holding company controlled by two Norwegian companies,
Statkraft (60%; Baa1, stable) and Norfund (40%; not rated).

Desenvix holds interests in 15 power plants with a total installed
capacity of 349 MW, consisting of 10 small and medium sized hydro-
power plants, one biomass plant and four wind power plants. In
addition, Desenvix holds 25.5% of two transmission projects for
the construction of 511 kilometers of transmission lines. Desenvix
is also engaged in the development of two small hydro-power plants
with total installed capacity of 80 MW and a 30 MW wind power
plant.

Moody's ratings are constantly monitored, unless designated as
point-in-time ratings in the initial press release. All Moody's
ratings are reviewed at least once during every 12-month period.

The principal methodology used in this rating was "Unregulated
Utilities and Power Companies" published in August 2009.

The date on which some ratings were first released goes back to a
time before Moody's ratings were fully digitized and accurate data
may not be available. Consequently, Moody's provides a date that
it believes is the most reliable and accurate based on the
information that is available to it. The date of the last Credit
Rating Action was October 11, 2012.

PETROLEOS DE VENEZUELA: Moody's Affirms 'B1' Rating; Outlook Neg.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Petr¢leos de Venezuela's
(PDVSA) B1 global local currency and B2 foreign currency ratings
and changed the rating outlook to negative from stable, following
the change in outlook for the Venezuelan government's local and
foreign currency bond ratings to negative. The sovereign rating
action reflects increasing uncertainty over President Chavez's
political succession, and the impact of a possibly tumultuous
transition on civil order, the economy, and an already
deteriorating government fiscal position.

Ratings affected include:

-- B1 global local currency issuer rating, outlook changed to
    negative

-- B2 foreign currency bond rating for 9.75% guaranteed Senior
    Global Notes, outlook changed to negative

Ratings Rationale

PDVSA's B1 local currency issuer rating and B2 foreign currency
bond rating are equal to the government's ratings, reflecting its
key role as the state oil company. PDVSA is a driver of
Venezuela's economy and primary source of government fiscal
revenues and foreign exchange. The government approves and
controls PDVSA's budget and has steeply increased transfer
payments in the form of royalties, social payments and dividends
to support government spending and social programs, particularly
in the run-up to the presidential election in fall 2012. Under a
scenario of fiscal and economic deterioration in a post-Chavez
era, the government could become even more dependent on PDVSA,
which would further constrain the state oil company's capital
investments and increase its debt burden.

As a government-related issuer, PDVSA's ratings reflect a high
level of imputed government support and default correlation
between the two entities. A downgrade of the government's local
and foreign currency ratings would be likely to result in a
downgrade of PDVSA's ratings as well.

The Ba2 issuer rating and securities ratings for CITGO Petroleum
Corporation, PDVSA's wholly-owned US- based refining subsidiary,
are not affected by PDVSA's change in rating outlook.

The principal methodology used in rating PDVSA was the Global
Integrated Oil & Gas Industry Methodology published in November
2009. Other methodologies used include Government-Related Issuers
methodology published in July 2010.

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
