BAHA MAR: Rosewood Hotels Wants to Terminate License
--------------------------------------------------------
Khrisna Virgil at Tribune 242 reports that Rosewood Hotels and
Resorts International filed a motion to terminate its license with
Baha Mar resort on the West Bay Street. The report says that a
hearing on the motion is set for Sept. 18, 2015.
Rosewood Hotels insisted in court filings that the Resort's
Chapter 11 filing is a default under the license agreement and
other Rosewood Hotel agreements.
According to court documents, Rosewood Hotels claimed that the
Resort did not have the money to uphold obligations under its
agreement, and that the Resort was not upfront in revealing the
true ownership of the land on which it is built. "As a material
inducement for Rosewood to enter into the Rosewood Hotel
Agreements, Baha Mar represented and warranted to Rosewood that
Baha Mar owns the Land. However, Baha Mar has told Rosewood that
it does not in fact own the Land, and, a preliminary search
performed on Aug. 14, 2015, of The Bahamas Registry of Records
reflected that Baha Mar did not own any real property when it
entered into the Rosewood Hotel Agreements and still does not.
Therefore, Baha Mar has incurably defaulted under the Licence
Agreement and the Hotel Management Agreement," Rosewood Hotel said
in the court documents.
Rosewood Hotels further claims in court documents that the Resort:
(a) has extremely limited access funding to perform its obligation
under the Rosewood Hotel agreement and in fact it is not timely
performing its obligation to Rosewood under the Rosewood Hotel
agreements; (b) almost immediately defaulted on its DIP loan
agreement as a result of the failure by the Resort to have
obtained the approval by the Central Bank of The Bahamas, among
other things; (c) has incurred numerous defaults under the various
Rosewood Hotel agreements, many of which are incurable; (d) is in
violation of its representation and warranty to Rosewood Hotel
that it owns the real property on which the hotel and associated
residences are situated and construction of the hotel has ceased
for more than 30 consecutive days; and (e) failed to pay both the
rank and file employees and the senior executives at the hotel,
who are needed to run the hotel and has failed to reimburse
Rosewood for pre-petition and post-petition fees and expenses due
under the Rosewood Hotel agreements.
Rosewood Hotels' motion was in direct response to government's
decision to oppose the Resort's Chapter 11 bankruptcy action which
was filed on June 29, 2015, in the U.S., Tribune 242 states,
citing Robert Sands, the Resort's senior vice president of
government and external affairs.
Danny King at Travel Weekly relates that Rosewood Hotel was not
listed among Baha Mar Enterprises Ltd.'s 20 largest creditors in
its June bankruptcy filing.
Bahamas Gov't Wants Liquidators Appointed
Lamech Johnson at Tribune 242 reports that a hearing for Justice
Ian Winder of the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas
to consider the government's winding up petition for the
appointment of provisional liquidators to speed up completion of
the stalled Baha Mar development will be held on Sept. 4, 2015.
Tribune 242 says that provisional liquidators could be appointed
from Ernst and Young, though an issue of a potential conflict had
raised in an affidavit filed by the petitioners and addressed by
Baha Mar's legal team on Aug. 20, 2015.
Tribune 242 relates that Baha Mar's Queen's Counsel James Corbett
and fellow QC, Maurice Glinton, argued during the Aug. 21, 2015
proceedings that Justice Winder was duty bound to void the
proceedings having been notified that the government's filed
petition was allegedly in breach of Order 24 (1) of the Companies
Liquidation Rules (CLR).
According to the report, the government's attorney, Peter Knox,
QC, told the judge that seven new petitions had been filed against
Baha Mar in addition to the original one. The report adds that
the government is seeking to wind up Baha Mar Ltd, Baha Mar Land
Holdings Ltd, Baha Mar Properties Ltd, BMP3 (Wyndham Hotel) Ltd,
BMP Golf Ltd, Cable Beach Resorts Ltd and Baha Mar Enterprises Ltd
on the basis that it is owed upwards to $59 million by the
companies.
Tribune 242 states that Mr. Corbett expressed skepticism that the
government's bid for the appointment of the liquidators was merely
to have them make arrangements between the parties to speed up the
resort's completion.
Mr. Knox, Tribune 242 reports, maintained that the respondent
companies "are undoubtedly insolvent and have been for two months
. . . . Every day that passes, creditors interests are at risk."
The public interest was also at risk with international credit
rating agencies suggesting a downgrade in the country's credit
rating if Baha Mar's dilemma is not immediately resolved, Tribune
242 states, citing Mr. Knox. Dionisio D'Aguilar, the Superwash
president and a director at the stalled $3.5 billion Cable Beach
resort development, said that the ongoing Baha Mar dispute was
"not making people excited about investing in our economy,"
Natario McKenzie at Tribune 242 relates.
About Baha Mar
Orlando, Florida-based Northshore Mainland Services Inc., Baha Mar
Enterprises Ltd., and their affiliates sought protection under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on June 29, 2015 (Bankr. D.Del.,
Case No. 15-11402). Baha Mar owns, and is in the final stages of
developing, a 3.3 million square foot resort complex located in
Cable Beach, Nassau, The Bahamas.
The case is assigned to Judge Kevin J. Carey.

BAHA MAR: Objects to Bids to Dismiss Ch. 11 Cases
-------------------------------------------------
Northshore Mainland Services Inc. and its debtor affiliates filed
objections to CCA Bahamas, Ltd., and the Export-Import Bank of
China's motions to dismiss the Chapter 11 cases.
The Debtors assert that CCA and the CEXIM seek the dismissal of
the Chapter 11 cases to further their own pecuniary interests.
The Debtors tell the Court that, in the case of CCA, the CCA
Dismissal Motion is nothing more than an attempt to escape the
possible rejection of the Master Construction Contract, the
Bankruptcy Rule 2004 investigation into their conduct, and
possible affirmative claims against them. In the case of CEXIM
Bank, the CEXIM Dismissal Motion is an endeavor to do away with
the continued imposition of the stay that precludes it from owning
the Project free and clear by foreclosing on its security
interests and eliminating all other claims and interests, the
Debtors further assert.
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors joins in the
Debtors' objection and explains that the best interests of
creditors and the debtors are served by maintaining the Chapter 11
cases. Styleworks, LLC, also supports the Debtor's objection
incorporates all of the arguments set forth in the objections.
In response, CEXIM argued that its motion to dismiss outlines the
numerous reasons the Bahamian Debtors are unable to successfully
reorganize under chapter 11, including, among others, their
inability to adequately fund the chapter 11 cases, their inability
to compel foreign contract counterparties to continue to perform
postpetition, the inability to sell assets located in The Bahamas
pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, and their
inability to enforce a confirmation order and any discharge under
the Bankruptcy Code.
Stafford-Smith, Inc., joins in CCA's Motion to Dismiss, claiming
that the fact that the Bahamas Supreme Court has ruled that it
will not recognize the jurisdiction of this Court as to property
and assets in the Bahamas, makes it virtually impossible for this
Debtor to reorganize in a Chapter 11, as this Court may not be
able to aid in the administration of the Debtor's principal
assets, including the Project, which are all located in the
Bahamas.

BAHA MAR: Files Status Report on DIP Transaction
------------------------------------------------
Northshore Mainland Services Inc. and its debtor affiliates
notified the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware that they have not yet obtained approval from the Central
Bank of The Bahamas and the Bahamas Investment Authority regarding
their request to borrow up to $30 million of postpetition
financing.
The Debtors add that they were also unable to obtain entry of a
court order in the Bahamas extending the automatic stay to secured
and unsecured creditors in the Bahamas within seven days of the
Petition Date, which effectively functioned as an additional
condition precedent to funding under the DIP Facility.
Given the absence of the Bahamas Approvals and to nevertheless
fund DIP advances to the Debtors, the DIP Lender provided funding
waivers to the Debtors and agreed to certain limited modifications
to the structure of the DIP Facility to avoid the requirement of
The Bahamas Approvals. The DIP Lender has advanced $14.936
million in DIP Loans to the Debtors pursuant to certain promissory
notes to meet certain of the Debtors' approved and budgeted
expenses. Due to the absence of The Bahamas Approvals, under the
modified structure, the advances made to Northshore are currently
the obligations of Northshore alone and are secured only by the
assets of Northshore located outside of The Bahamas. The
modifications to the structure of the DIP Facility nevertheless
will allow for proceeds of the DIP Facility to be advanced by
Northshore to certain other Debtors, which obligations will be
memorialized by an intercompany promissory note, the Debtors
assert.
In addition, in the event that The Bahamas Approvals are obtained,
each Debtor will be obligated to guarantee the advances under the
DIP Facility and provide a security interest in substantially all
of its assets to the DIP Lender to support the obligations.

BAHA MAR: Bradley Roberts Optimistic on Resort Opening by Year-End
------------------------------------------------------------------
The 3.5 billion Baha Mar resort -- which officials say is 97%
complete -- will still open before year-end despite the
possibility of provisional liquidators being appointed at the
property, Ava Turnquest at Tribune 242 reports, citing Progressive
Liberal Party Chairman Bradley Roberts.
Tribune 242 relates that Attorney General Allyson Maynard-Gibson
filed the winding up petition against the Resort to have
provisional liquidators appointed, after negotiations for a way
forward between stakeholders in China failed.
According to Tribune 242, Bahamas Chamber of Commerce and
Employers Confederation chief executive Edison Sumner has warned
that the project will not open in time to catch the peak winter
2015 tourism season if it is placed under the control of
provisional liquidators. Three to four months was simply not
enough time for the provisional liquidators -- if appointed -- to
"go through the rubble" and organize the property's construction
completion, the report states, citing Mr. Sumner.
Mr. Roberts said that Baha Mar CEO Sarkis Izmirlian had just hours
left to accept the financing deal brokered in talks between the
Export Import Bank of China and China Construction America, or
face the consequences, Tribune 242 states. "Failing that, then
the liquidators will come in," the report quoted him as saying.
Khrisna Virgil at Tribune 242 adds that Prime Minister Perry
Christie asked Minister of State for Legal Affairs Damian Gomez to
step down as the government's lead attorney in the Resort's legal
battle insisting that it was important for people to see the
ongoing process in the court as independent of the government's
interference. Mr. Christie said in an interview broadcasted on
ZNS, "What we were hoping all along is that the developer who put
so much effort into the product itself having, 97% completed it,
would not just allow it to go. But he would instead find some way
of accommodating himself to the requirements of the China Export
Import Bank and the construction company."

LEMON TREE: Cafe in Liquidation
-------------------------------
The Royal Gazette reports that the popular city center Lemon Tree
Cafe on Queen Street has gone into liquidation.
The cafe, originally managed by former Fairmont Southampton chief
concierge Brendan Huttick, has been shuttered for some time,
according to The Royal Gazette.
The report notes that Mr. Huttick left the owners' company,
Gourmand Ltd, on October last year.
A notice in the window now confirms that Gourmand Ltd, trading as
the Lemon Tree Cafe, is in liquidation and the receiver is the
Registrar of Companies' Stephen Lowe, the report relays.
The report discloses that Mr. Huttick took over the cafe seven
years ago from founding owners Lee Uddin and Jean-Claude Garzia,
who in 2002 turned what was once a Scottish wool shop into a cafe
and created the patio area at the rear of the building. The cafe
and patio became a popular Friday night happy-hour spot.
But the pair decided to sell the business after they took over the
lease for the Beau Rivage restaurant at the Newstead-Belmont Hills
resort, the report relays.
Under Mr. Huttick, the Lemon Tree garnered several Best of Bermuda
awards, including best deli takeout for 2010 and 2011 and happiest
happy hour in 2008 and 2010, the report notes.

PDG REALTY: Moody's Lowers CFR to Caa3; Outlook Negative
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's America Latina has downgraded the Corporate Family Ratings
(CFR) assigned to PDG Realty S.A. Empreendimentos e Parts (PDG) to
Caa3 on the global scale and to Caa3.br on the Brazilian national
scale from B3 and B1.br, respectively. At the same time, Moody's
has downgraded the company's BRL250 million senior secured bank
credit notes to Caa3/Caa3.br from B3/B1.br, while the company's
BRL140 million senior unsecured debentures (7th issuance) were
downgraded to Ca/Ca.br from Caa1/Caa1.br. The outlook for all
ratings remains negative.
The downgrade was prompted by Moody's perception of increased
credit risk following PDG's announcement that it has started a
debt restructuring process, which will include the renegotiation
of several of its contractual arrangements. These events portend
material changes in the company's debt structure that could result
in high expected losses for the existing secured and unsecured
creditors. Moody's believes, however, that PDG remains fully
committed to finding a solution to its unsustainable capital
structure and is vigorously pursuing options to improve liquidity.
Issuer: PDG Realty S.A. Empreendimentos e Participacoes (PDG)
Ratings downgraded:
-- Corporate Family Ratings: to Caa3 from B3 (global scale) and
to Caa3.br from B1.br (national scale)
-- BRL250 million senior secured bank credit notes (CCBs) due
in 2016: to Caa3/Caa3.br from B3/B1.br
-- BRL140 million senior unsecured debentures due in 2018 (7th
issuance): to Ca/Ca.br from Caa1/Caa1.br
RATINGS RATIONALE
This Caa3 CFR reflects PDG's weak operating performance, untenable
capital structure and poor liquidity with significant near-term
debt maturities. The rating consider the high likelihood of a
distressed restructuring that would result in significant losses
for the creditors, especially the unsecured debtholders. On
August 17, PDG's announced that it has hired a financial advisor
to start a debt restructuring process with the purpose of
simplifying its debt structure and achieve a better match of the
company's indebtedness profile to its working capital requirements
and evolving capital structure. Earlier, on July 16, 2015, PDG
also announced changes in its management structure, with the
replacement of its CEO and CFO positions.
In June, 2015, PDG concluded a capital increase, with the
subscription by more than 80% of its existing shareholder base,
reaching the maximum established limit of BRL500 million. This
cash injection was part of the shareholder's plan to strengthen
the company's capital structure, building up its cash position to
about BRL1.2 billion to face large upcoming corporate debt
maturities of BRL1.4 billion during the second half of this year.
So far, the company issued a new 12-month promissory note of
BRL475 million in August to redeem some preferable shares of a
subsidiary and amortize other corporate debt.
Despite its large BRL4.3 billion in receivables for completed
units and unrestricted cash balance, PDG's liquidity is weak due
to the large amount of corporate debt and escalating debt cost.
The company is facing additional liquidity pressures from a
prolonged deterioration in the industry dynamics, including weak
sales speed, tight financing availability and declining real
estate prices.
The Caa3/Caa3.br ratings reflect an expected recovery rate of less
than 80% for PDG's senior secured creditors in an event of
default. The Ca/Ca.br ratings assigned to PDG's senior unsecured
debentures are one notch lower than its senior secured and
corporate family ratings given the high proportion of secured debt
in the consolidated capital structure (nearly 83% in June 2015)
and the limited coverage provided by the company's residual and
unencumbered assets.
The negative outlook reflects the PDG's high liquidity risk and
the challenges ahead for its management to execute a debt
restructure plan while sustaining a minimum cash balance to
support their operations in the current business environment.
A ratings upgrade is unlikely near term, but positive pressure
could arise if the company effectively executes a debt
renegotiation strategy that materially reduces its debt burden and
improves its liquidity position. Positive rating pressure depends
on improvement of its leverage metrics, such as total debt to
capitalization consistently below 60% (58% as of June 30, 2015)
and EBIT interest coverage above 1.0x (0.7x LTM 2Q15).
Further downward pressure on the ratings would arise from
deterioration in the company's liquidity position leading to a

GUATEMALA: President Rejects Calls to Quit Over Corruption
----------------------------------------------------------
Michael D. McDonald of Bloomberg News reports that Guatemalan
President Otto Perez Molina rejected accusations that he was
involved in a corruption scandal and rebuffed critics who said he
should resign five months before his term expires.
In a nationally-televised address, Perez Molina said his
conscience "is clear" and that he would remain in office to help
protect the Central American country's institutions, according to
Bloomberg News. While the 64-year-old president said he would
confront any accusations against him, he also apologized for the
series of corruption scandals that have battered his
administration, Bloomberg News notes.
"I will not resign," Perez Molina said from his office, standing
in front of the country's blue and white flag, Bloomberg News
relays. "With the same strength and character with which I reject
my involvement, I can't fail to recognize that this has taken
place in my government, and by officials I appointed," Bloomberg
News added.
Bloomberg News notes that Perez Molina has faced mounting pressure
to step down as his vice president and a series of cabinet members
and aides were linked to different corruption cases. On Aug. 21,
the attorney general said the president himself was involved in a
customs tax scheme that prompted police to arrest former Vice
President Roxana Baldetti, Bloomberg News relays. The economy and
health ministers resigned over the weekend following the report,
saying they wanted to distance themselves from the government,
Bloomberg News adds.
Daily Protests
The corruption allegations have cast a shadow over a $59 billion
economy that serves as a key gateway between Latin America and the
U.S. -- for goods, immigrants and illegal drugs, Bloomberg News
relays. Bordered by Mexico, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador,
Guatemala's principal exports include coffee, sugar and gold,
Bloomberg News discloses.
Perez Molina's decision to remain in office is unlikely to
alleviate pressure on him to step aside. Protesters over the
weekend called for daily rallies in front of the presidential
palace starting Aug. 18, Bloomberg News discloses. As many as
60,000 people joined protests against the government in May.
Prosecutors have asked the courts to investigate Perez Molina in a
bid to strip him of immunity. They've alleged that he and the vice
president accepted bribes in exchange for allowing companies to
skirt import taxes, Bloomberg News notes.
"The best thing for the country is for the president to present
his resignation," former Economy Minister Luis Velasquez, a member
of the opposition, said in a phone interview before the
president's speech, Bloomberg News relays. "The system has
collapsed and it's time to make profound changes," Mr. Velasquez
added.
The president, a former general who helped broker a peace
agreement ending Guatemala's civil war in 1996, said following his
election victory five years ago that the people had given him a
mandate to fight corruption, Bloomberg News notes.
In his speech, he singled out the country's private sector for
blame in the crisis, without providing details.
"So far we've seen those who received money" in the various
corruption scandals, "but not those who paid" bribes, Perez Molina
said, Bloomberg News relays. "Without a doubt, it has its roots
in the business sector and I hope that soon its magnitude will be
apparent," he added.

MEXICO: Economy Grew 2.2% in 2Q; Cuts 2015 Growth Outlook
---------------------------------------------------------
EFE News reports that Mexico's gross domestic product (GDP) grew
2.2 percent in the second quarter, compared to the same period in
2014, the National Institute of Statistics and Geography, or
INEGI, said.
The economy, however, weakened in the second quarter, compared to
the first quarter, when it grew at a 2.6 percent annualized rate,
the INEGI said in a statement obtained by EFE News.
The government, meanwhile, said it was revising its economic
growth forecast for this year downward from a range of 2.2 - 3.2
percent to 2.0 - 2.8 percent due to the drop in oil production and
prices amid a "complex and volatile" global economic landscape,
the report notes.
Mexico is making "an orderly adjustment" in response to reduced
global growth expectations and lower oil production, which shaved
0.40 percent off the second-quarter GDP as the price of the
Mexican crude oil export blend fell below $40 per barrel, Deputy
Finance Secretary Fernando Aportela said in a press conference,
the report relates.
The International Monetary Fund has cut its 2015 global economic
growth forecast from 3.5 percent to 3.3 percent, and revised its
outlook for Latin America downward from 0.90 percent to 0.50
percent, the report discloses.
"There are still downside risks for these economies associated
with deeper than expected recessions in Russia and Brazil, as well
as greater weakness in China's growth," Mr. Aportela said, the
report notes.
Mexico is still doing better than other Latin American countries
that are growing more slowly, such as Chile and Argentina, while
Brazil is contracting, Mr. Aportela said, the report discloses.
Mexico's economy, the second-largest in Latin America, grew 2.1
percent in 2014, rebounding from the 1.4 percent growth registered
the previous year but well below the government's initial target
of 3.9 percent, the report adds.
MEXICO STATE: Moody's Affirms Ba2 Rating on MXN1.5BB FEFOM Program
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's de Mexico changed the outlook on the State of Mexico's
A2.mx (Mexico National Scale) and Ba2 (Global Scale, local
currency) issuer ratings to positive from stable.
At the same time, Moody's affirmed the Ba2/A2.mx issuer ratings of
the State of Mexico and debt ratings of these enhanced loans:
MXN 5.546 billion (original face value) from BBVA Bancomer at
A3/Aaa.mx
MXN 5.215 billion (original face value) from Banamex at
A3/Aaa.mx
MXN 1.37 billion (original face value) from Santander at
A3/Aaa.mx
MXN 454 million (original face value) from BBVA Bancomer at
A3/Aaa.mx
MXN 3 billion (original face value) from Banorte at A3/Aaa.mx
MXN 1.905 billion (original face value) from Banorte at
A3/Aaa.mx
MXN 1.5 billion (original face value) from HSBC at A3/Aaa.mx
MXN 590 million (original face value) from Interacciones at
A3/Aaa.mx
MXN 500 million (original face value) from Inbursa at A3/Aaa.mx
MXN 4.762 billion (original face value) from Banorte at
A3/Aaa.mx
MXN 3.017 billion (original face value) from Banobras at
A3/Aaa.mx
MXN 500 million (original face value) from Foremex at
Baa1/Aa1.mx
MXN 1.1 billion (original face value) from ISSEMyM at
Baa1/Aa1.mx
MXN 500 million (original face value) from Banorte at
Baa1/Aa1.mx
MXN 600 million (original face value) from Banco del Bajio at
Baa1/Aa1.mx
MXN 610 million (original face value) from Banorte at
Baa1/Aa1.mx
MXN 250 million (original face value) from Banorte at
Baa1/Aa1.mx
MXN 3.704 billion (original face value) from BBVA Bancomer at
Baa1/Aa1.mx
MXN 1.778 billion (original face value) Municipal Lending
Program from Banobras at Baa2/Aa1.mx
MXN 1.5 billion (original face value) FEFOM Program at (P)
Ba2/A2.mx
RATINGS RATIONALE
The affirmation of the Ba2/A2.mx State of Mexico's issuer ratings
reflect moderate debt levels, low cash financing requirements,
positive liquidity and high unfunded pension liabilities. The net
direct and direct debt was equivalent to 19.9% of total revenues
in 2014 and cash financing requirements averaged -1.7% between
2010 and 2014.
The change in the outlook reflects the recording of roughly
balanced financial results in 2013 and 2014, the maintenance of
moderate debt levels and of a strong liquidity position.
Liquidity measured by net working capital was equivalent to 6% of
total revenues in 2014, a level higher that the Ba1 median.
Furthermore, in 2014 the state made progress on own-source
revenues collection and in unfunded pension liabilities. Own-
source revenues raised by 50%, since the state increased the base
and the rate of the salary tax and the pension reform decreased
unfunded pension liabilities to 330% of total revenues in 2014
from 560% in 2012.
The affirmation of the enhanced loans debt ratings reflect the
affirmation of the Ba2/A2.mx issuer ratings affirmation.
WHAT COULD CHANGE THE RATINGS UP/DOWN
While unfunded pension liabilities are still high, an upgrade on
the state's issuer ratings could materialize if the state
continues to adjust expenditure to revenue growth and as a result,
consolidated financial results remain roughly balanced and debt
levels do not substantially increase. Given the positive outlook
a downgrade of the issuer rating is unlikely, however, a change in
fiscal discipline which in turn increases debt levels, could
change the outlook back to stable.
Given the links between the loans and the credit quality of the
obligor, an upgrade of the State of Mexico's issuer rating would
likely result in an upgrade of its enhanced loan ratings. The
ratings could also face upward pressure if observed and projected
debt service coverage ratios increase above current thresholds.
Conversely, a downgrade of the state of Mexico's issuer ratings or
if debt service coverage levels fall materially below our
expectations would likely result in a downgrade of the ratings on
the loans.
The methodologies used in these ratings were Regional and Local
Governments published in January 2013, and Rating Methodology for
Enhanced Municipal and State Loans in Mexico published in June
2014.
The period of time covered in the financial information used to
determine State of Mexico rating is between 1/1/2010 and
31/12/2014.

ALONSO & CARUS: BPPR Says GlassRatner Too Pricey as Panel Advisor
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Secured creditor Banco Popular de Puerto Rico ("BPPR") and debtor
Alonso & Carus Iron Works Inc. object to the request filed by the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors to retain GlassRatner
Advisory & Capital Group LLC as its financial advisors effective
as of July 15, 2015.
BPPR said the Committee's proposed hourly rates to be paid to the
firm are substantially in excess of the prevailing local hourly
rates -- even to the highest local rates for sophisticated
bankruptcy financial advisors -- and will create an unnecessary
and additional expense to the Debtor's estate and, possibly, to
BPPR, that can and should be avoided by simply retaining adequate
local financial advisors at lower rates (or, having GlassRatner
bill at prevailing local market rates). Further, the Committee
has not (and likely cannot) shown that the expertise required for
this case is simply unavailable locally, noted BPPR.
The secured creditor also pointed out that the Debtor has hired a
local financial advisor for this case, after assessing the
complexities and necessities therein. Further, this case is not
more complex nor sophisticated than other (and larger) local
bankruptcy cases during the past few years, in which local
financial advisors have acted for the lender, debtor and
committee. The Debtor did not look to more expensive stateside
counsel, and there is no reason for the Committee to forego all
local professionals, and retain financial advisors whose hourly
rates will likely exceed by almost twice the prevailing market
rates. The additional, and unwarranted, expense will prejudice
the estate and substantially diminish the eventual recoveries to
creditors in this case. Accordingly, BPPR said, the Application
should not be approved, as it is contrary to the applicable law in
this Circuit, unless GlassRatner's rates are adjusted to the
prevailing market rates in Puerto Rico.
The individual GlassRatner professionals proposed by the Committee
to provide financial services are James Fox and Marc Levee, who
work at the firm's New York offices:

GlassRatner Advisory & Capital Group LLC

The Committee proposed that the estate pay hourly fees for Mr.
Fox, Mr. Levee, and David Neyhart, an associate at the firm,
respectively, of $310, $270, and $170. In addition, the Committee
proposed that the estate also pay the hourly fees for other
associates and assistants ranging from $95 to $170.
BPPR presented to the Court evidence of the disparity of
GlassRatner's rates, and the prevailing rates charged by some of
the most recognized bankruptcy estate attorneys in the Puerto Rico
legal community who have a substantial bankruptcy chapter 11

About Alonso & Carus
Alonso & Carus Iron Works, Inc., sought Chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. D.P.R. Case No. 15-02250) in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, on
March 27, 2015. The case is assigned to Judge Enrique S. Lamoutte
Inclan.
The Catano, Puerto Rico-based debtor has filed schedules of assets
and liabilities, disclosing $23,028,113 in total assets and
$14,919,146 in total debts.
The Debtor hired Charles A Curpill, PSC Law office, as counsel;
and CPA Luis R. Carrasquillo & Co, PSC as financial consultant.
The U.S. trustee overseeing the Chapter 11 case appointed five
creditors of the company to serve on the official committee of
unsecured creditors.
ANNA'S LINENS: Court Approves Hilco/Gordon Agent Deal
-----------------------------------------------------
Judge Theodor C. Albert entered an order allowing Anna's Linens,
Inc., to assume a prepetition agency agreement with Hilco Merchant
Resources, LLC and Gordon Brothers Retail Partners, LLC, to lead a
"going out of business sale" of its assets.
The assets to be sold include the Debtor' Merchandise, Owned
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E), and Additional Agent
Merchandise.
The Bankruptcy Court further:
-- approved certain sale guidelines;
-- authorized the Debtor to abandon at the applicable Stores any
unsold Owned FF&E that is not sold through the Sale; and
-- approved lease rejection procedures with respect to the
stores the Debtor elect to close and the form of the proposed
notice of rejection to be delivered to the landlords of the
Closing Stores.
During the sale term, the Agent will be granted a limited royalty
free license and right to use the trademarks, trade names, logos,
customer lists, websites, URL, social media, mailing lists and
email lists relating to and used in connection with the operation
of the Stores, solely for the purpose of advertising the Sale.
As reported in The Troubled Company Reporter on July 15, 2015, the
Hilco/Gordon joint venture emerged as the winning bidder at an
auction held in June for the right to liquidate Anna's Linens'
assets, beating out the stalking horse bidder Tiger Capital Group
LLC and Yellen Partners LLC.
At the time the Court entered the Hilco/Gordon agent deal
approval, it postponed ruling on the Debtor's proposal to pay
Tiger/Yellen a breakup fee of $650,000, plus expense reimbursement
of up to $350,000. The Debtor also proposed to pay a $250,000
break-up fee to Great American Group, LLC.

Creditors Committee Reacts to Break-Up Fees
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Anna's Linens,
Inc. opposed the Debtor's request for break-up fees.
Counsel to the Committee, Jeffrey N. Pomerantz, Esq. at Pachulski
Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP in Los Angeles, California, asserts that
the Break-Up Fees were granted and earned in connection with a
bidding process and auction that was by design conducted outside
of bankruptcy, where it was not subject to Bankruptcy Code
requirements, judicial oversight or input from unsecured
creditors.
Mr. Pomerantz further asserts that there is no foundation for
either of the Break-Up Fees: neither was reasonable or necessary
to induce bidding, for reasons the Debtor knew but did not
disclose. He says the Tiger/Yellen Break-Up Fee and the $200,000
already paid may be subject to avoidance and recovery as a
fraudulent transfer.
The Committee asks the Court to determine that the Break-up Fees
may be allowed, if at all, only as prepetition claims, and further
urges the Court to clarify that any order on the Motion will have
no effect on the perfection or lack of perfection of any liens
securing payment of the Break-Up Fees.

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: US$ Shortage Has Been Dealt With . . . For Now
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Camille Hunte at Trinidad Express reports that the foreign
exchange shortage has been dealt with, says Finance Minister Larry
Howai. At least in the short-term, that is, according to Trinidad
Express.
The report notes that Minister Howai gave the assurance during an
interview with TV6, following a luncheon hosted by the Powerful
Ladies of Trinidad and Tobago (PLOTT), at the Chamber of Industry
and Commerce, Westmoorings.
Minister Howai said separate amounts of US$75 million, US$100
million and US$50 million had been injected into the system over
the other week to help eliminate a shortage of some US$250
million, the report relays.
"The immediate problem has been rectified," Minister Howai said,
the report notes.
Minister Howai added a meeting with the Central Bank would take
place in order to determine a more long-term solution and avoid an
ongoing crisis, the report relays.
Minister Howai also sought to clear up reports with regard to
Republic Bank, saying the bank had simply decided all purchases of
foreign exchange at any of their branches would have to be
"cleared" before proceeding with the transaction, the report
relays.
However, Minister Howai said the bank had since relaxed its
position following the injection of funds into the systems and
reverted to its usual process, the report discloses.
Responding to questions about 2015-2016 budget preparations,
Minister Howai said the budget speech is currently being drafted
and documents being prepared, the report relays.
Minister Howai said the budget was being prepared on the basis of
a US$45 per barrel oil price, which he described as a "reasonable"
figure as averages for next year put oil prices at around US$50
per barrel, the report adds.
TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: Gas Supply Shortfall Hits 5th Year
-----------------------------------------------------
Trinidad Express reports that for a country with a previously
impeccable record of monetizing its gas reserves and religiously
delivering the quantities the downstream industries needed, the
gas supply shortfall now in its fifth year, has put a dent in
Trinidad and Tobago's hard-won reputation.
This is not to be taken lightly, because it means that the
industries that use gas to create products like methanol and
ammonia, as well as the liquefied natural gas (LNG) trains at
Atlantic down at Point Fortin in the south west, cannot meet their
own annual production goals and their cash flow and profit are
consequently undermined, according to Trinidad Express.
"Since the development of the gas industry in its entirety has
been one of our sterling economic achievements, this is all very
bad news for the on-going expansion of that key sector," the
report notes.

* ST. KITTS & NEVIS: To Start Fund to Assist Small Businesses
-------------------------------------------------------------
Caribbean360.com reports that Prime Minister Dr. Timothy Harris
said negotiations are underway with the St. Kitts and Nevis
Development Bank to establish a fund specifically to assist small
businesses.
"We are now proceeding with another initiative where we want to
put a sizable sum of money in the Development Bank, specifically
to assist entrepreneurs who want to stock out their shop, who want
to buy new parts, to get their equipment up and going, the young
artists who need to produce their videos, and all these things to
do their marketing," the report quoted Dr. Harris as saying.
"That money will be put into the bank to help them. And we are in
negotiations to get that money, without that being a charge,
necessarily, to the Treasury."
The report notes that Dr. Harris said going that route to finance
the assistance for small businesses was an example of the fiscal
prudence which he wanted to be one of the hallmarks of his
administration.
The prime minister contended that was the legacy he left as
minister of finance in 2008 and 2009 when surpluses were recorded,
the report relays.
"I will bring the same degree of accountability and fiscal
prudence to bear to the management of the country's resources.
Those resources are being held in trust on behalf of the people,
and [government] must guard them and utilize them and invest them
even better than you would do on your own private money," Dr.
Harris said, the report relays.
The report adds that Dr. Harris promised that would be the
approach his administration would maintain to ensure that "every
cent of the public money will be accounted for".

***********
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.
Submissions about insolvency-related conferences are encouraged.
