* ARGENTINA: May Fail to Make Debt Payments Next Year
-----------------------------------------------------
Argentina may not be able to pay its creditors next year, which
would be its second time since 2002, Richard Reynolds of The
Guardian reports.

"This year should be fine, there is enough money to pay off what
it owes, but next year looks very different," the report quoted
Eugenio Bruno, a Buenos Aires lawyer specialising in international
debt issues, as saying.

The report recalls Argentina's last default in 2002 involved
nearly $100 billion in debts.

According to the report, Argentina's debt is now $150 billion and
the government owes more than $20 billion (GBP13.9 billion) this
year alone from a combination of debts falling due and servicing
charges.

The report says the government is due to repay $14 billion this
year and $10 billion next year.

However, the report notes, as some Argentinian dollar-denominated
bonds are yielding more than 50%, a default is likely to happen.

Meanwhile, the report relates the country is now sliding into a
recession.  Optimistic estimates show gross domestic product
shrinking by at least 2.5%, the report states.

                          *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter - Latin America on
December 23, 2008, Fitch Ratings downgraded the Republic of
Argentina's long-term local currency issuer default rating to 'B-'
; country ceiling to 'B'; and performing bonds in foreign and
local currency governed by Argentine law to 'B-/RR4'.  The rating
outlook on the local currency IDR is Stable.

In addition, Fitch affirmed the country's long-term foreign
currency IDR remains in Restricted Default ('RD'); short-term IDR
at 'B'; performing bonds in foreign currency governed by foreign
law at 'B-/RR4'; defaulted senior unsecured notes at 'CC/RR4'; and
defaulted collateralized Brady bonds at 'CCC-/RR3'.

* BAHAMAS: Central Bank Says Economy Continues to Weaken
--------------------------------------------------------
The Bahamas Central Bank said the country's tourism and foreign
investments continue to weaken due to the global financial crisis
with no expectations that the situation will turn around anytime
soon, Caribbean360.com reports.

"The outlook for the Bahamian economy remains weak throughout
2009, with developments expected to be heavily influenced by the
responsiveness of the global economy - particularly the United
States - to the stimulus measures implemented by monetary and
fiscal authorities," the bank said in a review of economic and
financial developments obtained by the news agency.
"Consequently, tourism and foreign-investment activity are likely
to remain subdued in the near term, with implications for a
further elevation in the unemployment rate above the 12% estimated
at end-2008."

With regards to the tourism industry, the central bank, as quoted
by Caribbean360.com, said: "activity in the [tourism] sector is
expected to have weakened significantly over the closing months of
the year and into early 2009, reflecting downturns in both
occupancy levels and average daily room rates".

The bank, the report notes, added that during February, inflation
remained at elevated levels, reflecting mainly higher prices for
consumer goods.  In addition, Caribbean360.com relates the bank
said that with the expected increase in spending and weakness in
revenue collection, fiscal deficit is expected to widen
considerably, while the current account deficit is not likely to
encounter significant deterioration.

BANCO DAYCOVAL: Board OKs Renewal of Share Buyback Program
----------------------------------------------------------
Banco Daycoval SA's board has approved a renewal of the company's
share buyback program, Dow Jones reports citing a regulatory
filing.

According to Dow Jones, Daycoval's board approved the purchase of
up to 3.08 million shares traded on the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange.

Over the past year, the report relates, Daycoval has repurchased
3.35 million outstanding shares.

Currently, Daycoval has 59.6 million shares outstanding, the
report says.

Headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Banco Daycoval SA started its
activities in 1968, with the creation of Daycoval DTVM and Valco
Corretora de Valores.  Brothers Ibrahim and Sasson Dayan control
the bank.  It is the core business of its shareholders and
specializes in financing small and medium-sized companies, backed
by receivables.  It also operates with consignment lending for
payroll deduction and consumer financing.  Since June 2007, the
bank has had 29% of its shares traded at Bovespa on the New
Brazilian Stock Market.  These shares enjoy a tag-along privilege,
giving minority shareholders 100% of the value of the block of
controlling shares in the event of the sale of the institution.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Oct. 8, 2008, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised the

foreign currency issuer default rating affirmed at 'B'; long-term
local currency issuer default rating affirmed at 'BB-'/Stable
Outlook; short-term local currency issuer default rating affirmed
at 'B'; and individual rating at 'C/D'.


COSAN SA: Investors Should Buy Firm's Shares, Citigroup Says
------------------------------------------------------------
Citigroup Inc. said investors should buy Cosan SA Industria e
Comercio's shares as higher prices for the commodity and a weaker
Brazilian currency may boost earnings, Allen Wan of Bloomberg News
reports.

“We look for strong sugar prices in 2009-10, as demand is
relatively resilient to an economic slowdown and production is
down,” Citigroup analyst Tereza Mello wrote in a note obtained by
Bloomberg News.

Headquartered in Piracicaba, Brazil, Cosan S.A. Industria e
Comercio -- http://www.cosan.com.br/en/ir/-- produces sugar and
ethanol.  The company cultivates harvests and processes sugarcane,
the main raw material for sugar and ethanol manufacturing.  With
17 manufacturing units and two port terminals in the city of
Santos, Cosan says it is currently the largest individual group in
the world in terms of sugarcane byproducts manufacturing.  With
capacity to grind more than 40 million tonnes of sugarcane, the
group represents 12% of overall production in the mid-southern
region of the country.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Oct. 14, 2008, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its
corporate credit rating on sugar and ethanol producer Cosan Ltd.
and its Brazilian operating subsidiary, Cosan S.A. Industria e
Comercio (jointly referred to as Cosan), to 'BB-' from 'BB'.  At
the same time, S&P removed the ratings from CreditWatch, where
they were placed with negative implications on April 24, 2008.


INDEPENDENCIA SA: Closes 3 More Plants, Cuts 1,400 Jobs
-------------------------------------------------------
Independencia SA closed three more plants and fired 1,400
employees because of slumping demand, Francisco Marcelino of
Bloomberg News reports.

Units in Sao Paulo and Mato Grosso states will be shut, the
company said in an e-mailed statement obtained by Bloomberg News.

Last week, the report recalls, the company fired 4,800 workers and
shut five plants.

“The failure of Lehman Brothers in September dried up export
credit lines and increased lending costs for Brazilian meat
producers,” Soummo Mukherjee, a meat and beverage senior analyst
for Moody’s Investors Service in Sao Paulo told Bloomberg News in
a phone interview.

According to Bloomberg News, Independencia SA -- Brazil's fourth
largest meat exporter -- filed for bankrupcy protection earlier
this year after the global economic crisis caused exports to
slump.


MAGNESITA REFRATARIOS: Moody's Cuts Corp. Family Ratings to 'Ba3'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded Magnesita Refratarios
S.A.'s corporate family ratings to Ba3 from Ba1 on the global
scale and to A3.br from Aa2.br on the Brazilian national scale.
The ratings remain under review for possible further downgrade.

The rating action reflects the company's significantly increased
leverage as measured by Total Adjusted Net Debt (adjusted for BRL
303 million pension obligations) to EBITDA (as defined by Moody's)
above 4.5x at December 31, 2008 (pro-forma for 12 months of LWB's
operations acquired in November 2008).  The higher leverage
derived from the combination of additional debt to fund
Magnesita's inorganic growth with the company's weak performance
during the fourth quarter of 2008, consequently tightening the
headroom under existing financial covenants of a substantial
portion of the company's outstanding debt.  Moody's believe that
its performance in the first three months of 2009 remained weak
due to lingering unfavorable market conditions for the global
steel industry that traditionally represents about 70% of
refractories consumption worldwide, thus placing further pressure
on certain of its financial covenants.

The review of Magnesita's ratings will focus on the company's
ability to reduce indebtedness as measured by Total Adjusted Net
Debt to EBITDA below 3.0x over the near term and maintain adequate
liquidity from cash balance and free cash flow generation.

The last rating action was on April 23, 2008, when Moody's
assigned the corporate family ratings to Magnesita.

Magnesita Refratarios S.A. is the largest manufacturer of
refractories in Latin America and the third largest worldwide,
with operations in Brazil, U.S., Europe and Asia.  Pro-forma for
twelve months of LWB's operations acquired in November 2008,
Magnesita reported consolidated revenues of BRL 2,398 million
(US$1,303 million converted by the average exchange rate) in 2008.

CRYSTAL CREDIT: More Losses Cues S&P's Junk Rtng. on Class C Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered and removed from
CreditWatch negative its ratings on all the classes of principal-
at-risk variable-rate notes issued by Crystal Credit Ltd., due to
the deterioration in claim activity and increase in aggregate
losses in that deal.

This transaction involves the securitization of payments related
to an indemnity-based excess-of-loss retrocession agreement
between Swiss Reinsurance Co. and Crystal Credit, covering the
risk on a defined portfolio of credit reinsurance treaties for the
underwriting years 2006 to 2008.

S&P has now received further information from Swiss Re, including
confidential information regarding its reserving levels and
additional analysis on the potential portfolio development under
various scenarios.

Based on this information S&P has concluded that the default
probability has increased for all classes of notes issued by
Crystal Credit, with the class C notes being most vulnerable to a
principal loss by the final legal maturity of the notes.  The
worse-than-expected downturn in the global economic environment is
the main driver behind the deterioration in claims activity for
this securitized portfolio of credit reinsurance treaties.  In
particular, the portfolio has been hit by a steep increase in
claims reported in the Spanish market.  The exposure in Spain
represented 16% of Swiss Re's portfolio by assigned credit limit
as of December 2008.

For the class C notes to incur a loss, aggregate losses have to
reach EUR666 million.  The last investor report provided by Swiss
Re, which is based on information as of Feb. 22, states current
reported aggregate losses to be ceded to Crystal Credit for the
underwriting years 2006–2008 of EUR424 million.  The aggregate
gross amount of losses is EUR221 million for underwriting year
2006, EUR211 million for 2007, and EUR79 million for 2008.
According to the terms of the retrocession agreement between
Crystal Credit and Swiss Re, Swiss Re will retain at least 10% of
the aggregate losses for each underwriting year.  The ultimate
percentage will depend on the gross reinsurance premium that Swiss
Re receives for each underwriting year.

Given the nature of the credit reinsurance business, it will take
about two years for premiums and losses reported to Swiss Re to
reach a stable level.  As such, S&P don't expect much variability
around the underwriting year 2006 reported figures.  For the
underwriting year 2008, on the other hand, the uncertainty remains
high as some of the credit reinsurance treaties are still at risk
(i.e., losses are still occurring) and premium and loss numbers
have only started to be reported to Swiss Re.

Although the treaties for the underwriting year 2007 are no longer
at risk, the delay in reporting means that there is still
significant uncertainty around the numbers reported to Swiss Re.
Further, the 2007 losses are already close to the 2006 loss level
and S&P expects that further losses will be reported.  As a
result, S&P has revised the ultimate loss ratio estimates used as
a basis for S&P's analysis above the historical loss ratios.

On March 30, S&P also received a notice that Swiss Re has
appointed Towers, Perrin, Forster & Crosby, Inc., a professionally
recognised actuarial firm, to act as the reserve validation firm
according to the terms of the retrocession agreement between
Crystal Credit and Swiss Re.  If Swiss Re delivers a proof of loss
in April 2012 which contains reported reserves greater than zero,
TPFC will conduct a review of the reported reserves with a report
being due 15 days after the delivery of proof of loss.  KPMG
Cayman Islands is the appointed claims reviewer.

The extended maturity for all classes of notes is June 30, 2012.
Swiss Re has the option to redeem one or more classes of notes
before the extended maturity.

S&P will continue to monitor the quarterly premium and loss
reports and request further information from Swiss Re as S&P deems
necessary until the maturity of the notes.

MERIT HOLDINGS: Fitch Junks Rating on US$150 Mil. Notes
-------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded Merit Holdings Ltd's notes and
assigned a Recovery Rating:

  -- US$150m, Merit credit linked notes (ISIN: XS0250338414) due
     February 10, 2011: downgraded to 'CCC/RR5' from 'B'; removed
     from Negative Outlook.

This transaction is a funded, single-tranche static synthetic
corporate CDO referencing 126 pre-dominantly US entities.  The
notes were issued in 2006 by Merit Holdings, a Cayman Islands-
based issuing vehicle of Standard Chartered Bank.

The rating downgrade reflects further significant deterioration in
the credit quality of the reference portfolio since the last
review in October 2008, resulting in net 54-notches of downgrades.
Since the transaction's close in 2006, the portfolio has
experienced three Credit Events, namely Washington Mutual, Inc.,
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, where the associated losses will erode
the transaction's credit enhancement.  In addition, a further
Credit Event is likely, as the International Swaps and Derivatives
Association, Inc. has called a credit event on Idearc Inc. on 31
March 2009.  Should this happen, the available credit enhancement
of the notes is expected to decrease further, to approximately
2.16% from the closing-date level of 3.02%.

Given that 16.8% of the portfolio is currently rated non-
investment grade, of which 4.0% is rated 'CCC+' to 'C', this level
of the remaining credit enhancement is only sufficient to
withstand a very limited amount of further stress.  Indeed, it
appears extremely unlikely that the available credit enhancement
could withstand the default of all CCC+ and below rated assets.

The assignment of RR5 indicates Fitch's view of the poor recovery
prospects for this note due to the ever deteriorating credit
profile of the portfolio coupled with the 'tranche thickness' of
the note, representing just 4% of the reference portfolio.

At closing, SCB (rated 'A+'/'F1'/Outlook Stable) bought protection
on a reference portfolio comprising 125 reference obligations.
Due to one succession event, there are currently 126 assets in the
portfolio and now the entire portfolio will mature in February
2011.  The protection is obtained via a single tranche CDS with
Merit.  To fund its obligations under the CDS, Merit issued
US$150m of notes, the proceeds from which were invested in
collateral comprising cash (20%) and eligible collateral
securities (80%).  The eligibility guidelines of the collateral
securities will ensure that the securities purchased are
sufficiently high in credit quality to support the rating assigned
to the notes.

AIR JAMAICA: Suspends Unlicenced Mechanical Engineers
-----------------------------------------------------
Air Jamaica Limited has suspended nine of its mechanical engineers
as they were without the requisite licenses, Radio Jamaica
reports.

The report relates the National Workers Union (NWU) said it was
taken by surprise as it was in discussions with Air Jamaica's
management regarding the possibility of the engineers remaining on
the job until they are licensed.

"We are in shock ... this is not the way we normally operate at
Air Jamaica ... we would have had dialogue.  The management of Air
Jamaica must now be held fully responsible for any industrial
action that is taken at the company," the report quoted Vice
President of the National Workers Union Granville Valentine as
saying.

The report notes NWU said the engineers are attached to the Norman
Manley and Sangster International Airports.

                        About Air Jamaica

The Jamaican government owned 25% of the company after it went

full ownership of the airline after an investor group turned over

Jamaica permanently.

AIR JAMAICA: CEO Confident Airline Will Survive Crisis
------------------------------------------------------
Air Jamaica Limited Chief Executive Officer Bruce Nobles has
expressed confidence that the cash-strapped airline will come
through the current crisis a "stronger and more viable" entity,
Alicia Dunkley of Jamaica Observer reports.

"These are difficult times for Air Jamaica.  Times are changing,
we must learn from our past.  I expect Air Jamaica to emerge from
this very difficult time, stronger and more viable.  I believe our
best times are yet to come," the report quoted Mr. Nobles as
saying.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
April 6, 2009, the Associated Press said the Jamaican government
has extended Air Jamaica's divestment deadline to June 30 as it
tries to attract buyers.  Radio Jamaica News recalled the
government said it will not be meeting its March 31 deadline for
the sale of Air Jamaica despite earlier assurances that a deal
would have been reached with a buyer in March.

According to Radio Jamaica, Don Wehby, minister without portfolio
in the finance ministry with responsibility for Air Jamaica, said
no sale has been finalized.  Radio Jamaica related Mr. Wehby said
a meeting is already scheduled for mid-April with an international
airline group from which the privatization committee has already
received an indicative offer for Air Jamaica.

Mr. Wehby, as cited by the Observer, said charting the airline's
future had been a difficult decision-making process.  "I have had
to take tough decisions as it relates to the airline... coming out
of the choices we have said it takes cash to care and the choice
we have made is to find a partner that has capital and
experience," the Observer quoted Mr. Wehby as saying.

The Observer notes it is uncertain how much will be Mr. Wehby's
role with the finalization of Air Jamaica's divestment as he will
be heading back to the private sector when his two-year commitment
with the Jamaican government ends.

The Observer recalls Mr. Wehby resigned his senior executive
position at GraceKennedy to serve in the new Cabinet after the
2007 general elections and was given the responsibility of
divesting Air Jamaica by March 31.

ALPART: Group Urges Firm to Keep Ties With Local Contractors
------------------------------------------------------------
The Manchester Chamber of Commerce is urging Alumina Partners of
Jamaica (Alpart) to continue its partnership with local
contractors in the restoration of mined-out bauxite lands even
after the scheduled May 15 suspension of mining and refining
operations, The Jamaica Observer reports.

In a release obtained by the news agency, the chamber said that
during a recent meeting with Alpart officials it "made an appeal
to the company on behalf of businesses who would have prepared
themselves to carry out restoration work for the company but may
also now be under threat of rescind by Alpart".

The Jamaica Observer relates the chamber noted in the release
that its concern stemmed from the recognition that with closure of
normal operations Alpart would have "increased capacity to carry
out restorative work themselves rather than to outsource".

Chamber president Winston Lawson told the Observer that private
operators had invested heavily in preparing themselves for the
work involved in restoring mined-out lands and would have lost
greatly should their services be suddenly discarded.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Mar. 20, 2009, Radio Jamaica News said Alpart will suspend its
operations for one year by May 15, sending home 900 permanent
employees in the process; amid a 60% decline in alumina product
prices since July 2008.

Alpart Managing Director Alberto Fabrini, as cited by Radio
Jamaica News, said the upcoming temporary shutdown will allow the
plant to prepare for future developments.  Although the company
took steps to maintain the operations even at reduced capacity,
circumstances still left the company with no other choice but to
shutdown, he added.

Mr. Fabrini, Radio Jamaica noted, said the company will continue
to meet its obligations to employees and the surrounding
communities in a timely manner.

Radio Jamaica related General Secretary of the Union of Technical
Administrative and Supervisory Personnel, St. Patrice Ennis, said
the 900 workers to be affected have already received notice.  "We
are aware of this by way of letter from the company advising that
come May 15 total operations of the ALPART plant will be curtailed
and the process will begin as early as in a few weeks.  It is my
understanding that the company's management is informing the
workers as to what exactly will happen," the report quoted Mr.
Fabrini as saying.

                           About Alpart

Alumina Partners of Jamaica, also known as Alpart, is a company
that owns and operates a bauxite refinery in Nain, Jamaica.
Alpart was founded in 1969 as a joint venture by Kaiser Aluminum,
Reynolds Aluminum, and Anaconda.  Alpart exports 1.65 million
tonnes of alumina overseas per year, and earned gross revenues of
US$1.3 billion in 2007.  As of 2008, Alpart is 65% owned by RusAl

investment quality of shares in mutual funds and similar
investment vehicles which principally invest in short- and long-
term fixed-income obligations, respectively.  As such, these
ratings incorporate Moody's analysis of a fund's published
investment objectives and policies, the creditworthiness of the
assets held by the fund, as well as the management characteristics
of the fund.  The ratings are not intended to consider the
prospective performance of a fund with respect to appreciation,
volatility of net asset value, or yield.

The national scale ratings are opinions of the relative
creditworthiness of issuers in a particular country and may be
used in specific local capital markets.

Moody's market risk ratings are opinions of the relative degree of
volatility of a rated fund's net asset value.  In forming an
opinion on the fund's future price volatility, Moody's analysts
consider risk elements that may have an effect on a fund's net
asset value, such as interest rte risk, prepayment and extension
risk, liquidity and concentration risks, currency risk, and
derivatives risk.  The ratings are not intended to consider
prospective performance of a fund with respect to price,
appreciation or yield.


VITRO SAB: Continues Debt Restructuring Talks With Lenders
----------------------------------------------------------
Vitro S.A.B. de C.V. said it is continuing discussions with
derivative financial instrument counterparties, bondholders and
creditors to achieve an organized financial restructuring to
improve its balance sheet.

On February 5, 2009, Vitro disclosed it elected not to make a
scheduled payment of $150 million pesos, plus accrued interest,
due February 5, 2009 on its Certificados Bursatiles issued in 2003
(“CEBURES 03”).  Vitro said it is holding discussions with the
holders of the CEBURES 03 in an effort to reach a mutually
acceptable agreement to restructure this financial obligation
along with the rest of the financial creditors.

Vitro also announced that it was informed that Credit Suisse
International (CSIN) has filed a lawsuit against one of its
subsidiaries in the Supreme Court of the State of New York
demanding payment of approximately US$85 million.  The complaint
arises out of a derivative financial instrument, Vitro said.

Additionally, the company said an accounts receivable credit
facility with The Royal Bank of Scotland, which provided funds to
one of Vitro’s subsidiaries, with a balance of approximately US$19
million, which was scheduled to end April 2009, was concluded.

                       Other Loan Defaults

On January 29, 2009, Vitro said four of its derivative financial
instrument
counterparties provided notice to the company, invoking agreements
governing the derivative financial instruments, stating that the
failure of the company to pay an aggregate of approximately US$293
million (including approximately US$80 million held as cash
collateral by the counterparties) constitutes events of default
under the agreements, and have effectively demanded payment of
such amounts.

As of December 31, 2008, Vitro had a net loss of approximately
US$358 million according to the claims by its derivative
counterparties (not including accrued interest), including a loss
of approximately US$33 million related to the only open derivative
financial instruments covering natural gas contracts from 2009-
2011 with Pemex.

The events of default under the agreements result in an event of
default under the indentures governing the Senior Notes and the
11.75 percent Senior Notes due 2013 (the “2013 Notes”), enabling
the trustees of such Notes, or with respect to each of the 2012
Notes, the 2017 Notes, and the 2013 Notes, the holders of 25
percent or more in principal amount of such Notes, to declare the
US$300 million principal amount (and accrued interest) of the 2012
Notes, the US$700 million principal amount (and accrued interest)
of the 2017 Notes, respectively and the US$216 million principal
outstanding amount (and accrued interest) of the 2013 Notes, to be
immediately due and payable.

The failure of the company to make the payments due under the
agreements also results in events of default under various other
financing agreements of the company and its subsidiaries,
aggregating approximately US$81 million and permitting lenders
under such facilities to declare borrowings under these agreements
to be immediately due and payable.

In addition, the company and its subsidiaries are also in default
under loan agreements of approximately US$17 million, and the
lenders may declare such debt to immediately due and payable.

As of December 31, 2008, the counterparties held an aggregate of
approximately US$85 million (not including accrued interest), as
cash collateral for the obligations of the company and/or its
subsidiaries under the agreements.

In light of these four counterparties' notices and in order to
preserve the necessary cash to continue operations, Vitro said it
does not intend to make scheduled payments due February 2, 2009 of
interest of US$12.9 million on its 8.625 percent Senior Notes due
2012 (the “2012 Notes”) and US$31.9 million on its 9.125 percent
Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”).

Vitro stated failure of the company to make the interest payments
within 30 days after the scheduled payment date would constitute a
separate event of default under the indentures governing the 2012
Notes and the 2017 Notes.

                        Derivative Claims

As of December 31, 2008, certain positions have been unwinded for
approximately US$325 million.  The cash deposited as collateral
related to these positions accounts approximately US$85 million
(without including interests).

Accordingly, Vitro said some derivative financial instrument
counterparties have filed law suits in the Supreme Court of the
State of New York demanding the payment of the unwinded positions.
The company said it has been notified of such demands and has
reached stay agreements with counterparties, agreeing a
continuance of the deadline for the filing of its initial response
and its defense to such demands.

As to the counterparties that have not filed any claims until this
date, the company said it has reached stay agreements for the same
period.

The company said it is still evaluating, assisted by its external
advisors, the validity, amount and legality of the derivative
financial instruments.

On March 17, 2009, the company reached stay agreements with Credit
Suisse, Calyon, Merrill Lynch, Barclays, Deutsche Bank and
Citibank, counterparties of derivative financial instruments.  The
parties agreed to a continuance of the deadline for the filing of
Vitro’s initial responsive pledging in the Supreme Court of the
State of New York and a stay of the litigation processes until
April 24, 2009, allowing parties time to negotiate solutions and
reach a satisfactory mutual and final agreements.

To save around US$80 to US$120 million annually, Vitro plans to,
among others,
reduce workforce, cancel airplane leasing contracts, divest
nonproductive assets and eliminate the outsourcing of non-
strategic services.

                            ***********

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
