STANFORD INT'L: Owner Seeks to Keep Gathering Evidence
------------------------------------------------------
Robert Allen Stanford, the financier accused of orchestrating a
multi-billion fraud, asked U.S. District Judge David Godbey to
reject prosecutors? request to halt evidence gathering in the
fraud lawsuit brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, Laurel Brubaker Calkins and Andrew M. Harris at
Bloomberg News report.  The report relates Mr. Stanford said the
evidence gathering might help him fight liquidation of his assets
while his criminal case moves forward.

According to the report, the government claims records and
depositions from the civil case could jeopardize its 21-count
criminal indictment against Stanford and his co-defendants.

Bloomberg News notes that Mr. Stanford, citing papers filed Aug. 6
in federal court in Dallas, said Stanford Financial Group court-
appointed receiver, Ralph Janvey, said the court-appointed
receiver in the SEC lawsuit will keep liquidating his financial
empire unless the case is put on hold.

?Unless Mr. Stanford demonstrates that the civil accusations
against him lack merit, the receiver will continue to do so,? the
report quoted Ruth Brewer Schuster, one of Stanford?s civil
attorneys, as saying.  ?Based on the speed with which the receiver
has liquidated Mr. Stanford?s estate, Mr. Stanford simply cannot
wait until a criminal trial in order to clear his name,? Mr.
Schuster said.  Mr. Janvey claims all of Stanford?s assets are
tainted by a fraud scheme involving the sale of certificates of
deposit through Stanford International Bank Limited, the report
points out.

Bloomberg News says that if Judge Godbey grants the government
request to halt discovery in the SEC case, Mr. Stanford asked the
judge to put on hold the entire lawsuit until the criminal case is
resolved.  The report relates Mr. Stanford said that without a
complete stay, the receiver could continue liquidating assets.
Mr. Janvey?s efforts to close Stanford?s businesses and sell real
estate and private-equity portfolio assets are premature because
he hasn?t been convicted of any wrongdoing, Mr. Stanford added.

STANFORD INT'L: Lawmakers Return US$87,800 in Stanford Donations
----------------------------------------------------------------
Stanford Financial Group court-appointed receiver, Ralph Janvey,
said that so far, U.S. politicians have returned US$87,800 in
donations from accused swindler Robert Allen Stanford, Anna Driver
at Reuters reports.  The report relates several lawmakers
including President Barack Obama said they would donate to charity
the contributions they had received from Stanford.

According to the report, Mr. Janvey had urged politicians to give
the money back so it could be returned to Stanford investors.  The
report notes that among the cash returned include:

   -- US$8,000 from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,

   -- US$27,500 from Senate Banking Committee Chairman
      Christopher Dodd, and

   -- US$14,000 from Richard Shelby, the top Republican
      on the Senate Banking Committee.

Reuters, citing the Center for Responsive Politics, recalls that
over the past decade, Stanford's firm, Stanford Financial Group,
spent US$4.8 million in lobbying Washington politicians.  The
report notes Mr. Stanford, his political action committee,
employees and members of their families also made US$2.4 million
in campaign contributions to federal candidates since 2000.

STANFORD INT'L: Receiver Asks Appeals Court to Extend Asset Freeze
------------------------------------------------------------------
Laurel Brubaker Calkins and Andrew M. Harris at Bloomberg News
report that Stanford Financial Group court-appointed receiver,
Ralph Janvey, asked the U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans to
keep in place the injunction imposed by the U.S. District Court in
Dallas for the release of Stanford investors? frozen accounts
until he can contest a lower-court order set to unlock most of the
funds at noon on Aug. 13.

According to the report, District Judge David Godbey said after
Aug. 13, the freeze would apply only to the interest generated by
investor funds and not principal.

The report relates Mr. Janvey told the Mr. Gobey he would appeal.
?Without such an order, investors who were lucky enough to cash
out of the scheme before the receivership will be permitted to
keep millions of dollars stolen from other innocent investors who
were not so fortunate,? Kevin Sadler, Mr. Janvey?s attorney, said
in a filing obtained by the news agency.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
July 30, 2009, Bloomberg News said Mr. Janvey is seeking to recoup
US$925 million tied to certificates of deposit issued by Mr.
Stanford?s Stanford International Bank Limited.  The report
related Mr. Janvey expanded an earlier complaint to recover money
from Stanford customers as well as brokers who allegedly profited
from a multi-billion fraud.  According to the report, the
stockbrokers said they were ?innocent victims? and some of them
invested their own money in the bank?s certificates.

GOL LINHAS: Posts Preliminary Traffic Figures for July
------------------------------------------------------
GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A. disclosed its preliminary
traffic figures for July 2009.

In July 2009, GOL recorded an increase in demand on its route
network for the fourth consecutive month.  In addition to the
seasonally favorable period for the airline industry as a whole,
passenger traffic volume (measured in RPK -- revenue passenger
kilometers) moved up over June 2009 thanks to:

    (i)  the school vacations in July;
   (ii)  the increased supply of low-fare seats, aiming to
         optimize the Company's load factor, yields and cost
         structure, in line with the strategy of generating
         positive operating cash flow; and
   (iii) revitalizing the SMILES program.

As a result of all of these factors, GOL reported a 7.4% increase
in RPK over July 2008 and a 20.3% upturn over the previous month.

Also in July, the company recorded a total load factor of 71.5%,
the highest figure since the acquisition of VRG, 6.8 p.p. up on
the 64.7% reported in July 2008 and 7.7 p.p. up on the 63.8%
posted in June 2009.  The domestic load factor stood at 74.6% and
the international one at 49.5%.

In line with its focus on optimizing operating profitability, the
utilization ratio of GOL's operational fleet exceeded 12 hours/day
in comparison to 11.3 hours/day posted in 1Q09, pushing up seat
supply by 7.3% over June 2009. This gradual and planned increase
in block hours is an important factor in diluting operating costs.

In this scenario, domestic market demand climbed by 29.0% year-
over-year and by 22.8% over June 2009 (a low-season month).  The
international segment recorded an opposite tendency, with demand
dropping by 61.6% over the same period last year, due to the
elimination of long-haul routes, and falling by 1.6% over the
previous month due to the Company's strategic decision to
temporarily suspend flights to Lima in order to revaluate it and
reduce the frequency of flights to Santiago and Buenos Aires,
mainly driven by its focus on profitability.

LIGHT SA: Second Quarter Profit Falls to BRL121 Million
-------------------------------------------------------
Paulo Winterstein and Heloiza Canassa at Bloomberg News report
that Light SA's second quarter profit fell to BRL121 million
(US$65.8 million).  The result is less than an estimate of BRL167
million, according to the average of three forecasts compiled by
Bloomberg

According to the report, net revenue dropped 1.9% from the year-
earlier period to BRL1.27 billion.

Bloomberg News says the company said sales volumes were hurt in
the second quarter after the economic slowdown reduced demand in
the open market.  The report relates power losses rose for the
second consecutive quarter and costs increased by 8.2%.

?Light?s earnings report was pretty bad, with all numbers coming
in below expectations,? the report quoted Reinaldo Zakalski, who
helps manage the equivalent of about US$170 million at BI Asset
Management in Sao Paulo, as saying.

TAM SA: Soaring Real May Rescue Airline From Oil Hedges
-------------------------------------------------------
Heloiza Canassa at Bloomberg News reports that a soaring real is
helping rescue Tam SA from wrong-way bets that crude prices would
average more than US$100 a barrel this year.  The report relates
Victor Mizusaki, an airline analyst at Itau Corretora, said that
the world?s best-performing currency has risen 27% this year,
cutting Tam?s dollar-denominated debt and aircraft costs and
offsetting losses tied to oil hedges.

?The currency gain has a very positive impact, it?s the most
important thing holding earnings up,? Mr. Mizusaki told Bloomberg
News in a telephone interview.  The report notes Mr. Mizusaki
rated Tam ?sector perform.?

The report note the airline posted a loss of BRL1.3 billion in the
fourth quarter after betting oil, which touched a record US$147.27
on July 11, 2008, would extend a rally into 2009.  Bloomberg News
relates the economic crisis has curbed demand, leading crude this
year to slump as much as 75% from July?s high.

Bloomberg News says that Deutsche Bank AG and Itau said the
airline hedged more than 45% of estimated consumption this year at
prices of at least $105 a barrel.  The report notes TAM SA said
the oil hedges resulted in a 919 million-real expense in the
fourth quarter after it renegotiated some contracts.

Mr. Mizusaki, the report notes, said TAM SA gets about 33% of its
revenue from international operations and have about 60% of their
costs linked to the U.S. currency, most of which are aircraft
leases and fuel expenses.

Tam?s fuel hedging ?puts it at a strategic disadvantage in 2009
and represents a substantial cash obligation at current oil price
levels,? Deutsche Bank analyst Dan McGoey wrote in a July 31 note
obtained by the news agency.

                           About TAM SA

Based in Sao Paulo, Brazil, TAM S.A. -- http://www.tam.com.br/--

BANCOLOMBIA SA: Decision on Banco de Colombia Merger Issued
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bancolombia S.A. disclosed that the Colombian Vice Attorney
General's Office (Vicefiscal General de la Nacion) issued an order
in second instance in connection with the investigations
surrounding the acquisition by Bancolombia (formerly Banco
Industrial Colombiano S.A.) of Banco de Colombia S.A. and their
subsequent merger.

The order:

   -- confirms the decision issued in the first instance
      finding that the prescriptive periods relating to the
      allegation of willful misconduct by a public officer
      (prevaricato por accion) had expired,

   -- reverses the preclusion order issued in the first
      instance to close the investigations into the allegations
      of willful neglect by a public officer (prevaricato por
      omision), with the purpose of determining whether the
      prescriptive periods have expired for each accused
      individual,

   -- reverses the preclusion order issued in the first instance
      to close the investigations into the allegations of fraud;
      and

   -- orders the consolidation of the legal proceedings
      relating to fraud.  It noted that in the parallel criminal
      investigation related to allegations of fraud, the
      Colombian Attorney General issued a preclusion order
      barring further investigation into such allegations on
      July 31, 2009.

The investigations covered by the Colombian Vice Attorney
General's order relate to allegations against the President of
Bancolombia, members of the board of directors of Banco Industrial
Colombiano S.A. in office at the time of the merger with Banco de
Colombia S.A., members of the board of directors of the Central
Bank of the Republic of Colombia and certain officers of the
Colombian Superintendency of Finance.

institution, formed by a merger of three leading Colombian
financial institutions.  Bancolombia's market capitalization is

program in the New York Stock Exchange.

long-term and short-term local currency deposit ratings of "Baa2"
and "Prime- 3", as well as the long-term and short-term foreign

of"Baa3" was also affirmed with a stable outlook by the rating
firm.

term Issuer Default Ratings and outstanding debt ratings as
follows: Long-term foreign currency IDR at 'BB+'; Short-term

CABLE & WIRELESS: LIME & Barbados Workers Union at Odds
-------------------------------------------------------
A showdown is brewing between Barbados Workers Union, the
country's largest trade union, LIME over the company's decision to
lay off more than a hundred employees, RadioJamaica reports.

According to the report, BWU General Secretary Sir Roy Trotman is
upset that over the circumstances relating to the sending home of
116 workers here and has threatened to launch an island wide
demonstration over the matter.  "I am calling for a national
protest in one form or another against Cable and Wireless.  We
have not yet reached the stage where we are going to take work
stoppage because the matter is at the level of the Labour
Department," the report quoted Mr. Roy as saying.

Lime (formerly Cable & Wireless Jamaica) --
http://home.cwjamaica.com/-- is a provider of national and
international fixed line services.  The company is owned 82% by
Cable & Wireless plc. Cable & Wireless Jamaica also owns Jamaica
Digiport International Limited, a company which provides high
speed data and other telecommunications services exclusively to
freezone and offshore companies.

                     About Cable & Wireless

Headquartered in London, England, Cable & Wireless plc --
http://www.cw.com/-- is an international telecommunications
company.  The Company offers mobile, broadband and domestic and
international fixed line services to homes, small and medium-sized
enterprises, corporate customers and governments.  It operates in

                          *     *     *

According to Bloomberg data, Cable & Wireless plc continues to
carry Moody's "Ba3"long-term corporate family rating, "B1"senior
unsecured debt rating and "Ba3"probability of default rating with
a stable outlook.

The company continues to Standard & Poor's "BB-"long-term foreign
and local issuer credit ratings and "B"short-term foreign and
local issuer credit ratings.


JAMAICAN CREDIT: S&P Downgrades Rating on $225 Mil. Certs. to 'B+'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating on Jamaican
Credit Card Merchant Voucher Receivables Master Trust's (the
trust's) US$225 million floating-rate certificates series 2001-A
due 2013 to 'B+' from 'BB+' and removed the rating from
CreditWatch with negative implications, where it was placed
March 19, 2009.

S&P's rating on the series 2001-A certificates reflects S&P's
sovereign credit rating on Jamaica (CCC+/Negative/C); S&P's
foreign and local currency ratings on National Commercial Bank
Jamaica Ltd. (CCC+/Negative/C); and S&P's 'B+' survivability
assessment on NCB, which addresses the bank's ability to acquire
the necessary Visa and MasterCard merchant voucher assets to
service the transaction even under a state of selective default or
other financial impairment.  The rating also reflects the
transaction's strong enhancement level through
overcollateralization and other structural features that mitigate
sovereign interference risk and other credit risks.

The rating actions follow the August 5, 2009, lowering of S&P's
long-term sovereign credit rating on Jamaica to 'CCC+' from 'B-'
and the lowering of S&P's country transfer and convertibility
assessment on Jamaica to 'B+' from 'BB-'; and the August 6, 2009,
lowering of S&P's long-term foreign and local currency credit
ratings on NCB to 'CCC+' from 'B-' and the lowering of S&P's
survivability assessment on NCB to 'B+' from 'BB+'.  S&P's outlook
on both NCB and Jamaica is negative.

S&P's 'CCC+' rating and negative outlook on Jamaica reflect S&P's
view that Jamaica's vulnerable fiscal profile, combined with
difficult financing conditions, may compel the government to
undertake a debt exchange, which, in S&P's view, could be regarded
as a distressed debt exchange.  S&P's 'CCC+' rating on NCB
reflects the bank's large exposure to Jamaican sovereign debt
securities and loans to public entities, as well as the more
challenging environment that the Jamaican banking system faces,
which will continue to pressure NCB's financial performance.

S&P's 'B+' survivability assessment on NCB reflects S&P's view
that the vulnerabilities in the Jamaican government's debt profile
have increased significantly from previous years, narrowing the
government's capacity to support or economically assist the bank
in times of stress.  S&P's survivability assessment is three
notches above S&P's counterparty credit rating on NCB, as S&P
believes that the bank could receive certain assistance from the
Jamaican government, if needed, due to its importance in the
Jamaican banking system, its market share, its adequate financial
performance, and its large branch network and deposit base.

The trust's performance has been strong since 2001.  As of
June 30, 2009, the series 2001-A transaction's quarterly debt
service coverage ratio (DSCR) was 7.65x, down from historical
levels.  The decrease in the DSCR reflects a decline in
collections due to the global economic downturn and the fact that
the transaction has finished its interest-only payment period and
has begun paying principal.  The 7.65x DSCR meets S&P's
requirements for a 'B+' rating.

NCB, one of Jamaica's leading banks, sold all of its existing and
future rights to receive U.S. dollar-denominated payments from
Visa International Service Association and MasterCard
International Inc. to the issuer.  The payment rights include the
amounts owed in regards to cash advances made through Plus System
Inc. or Cirrus System Inc., the cash advance systems operated by
Visa and MasterCard, respectively.  These receivables arise from
NCB's acquisition of the electronic or paper transaction vouchers
that foreign cardholder charges generate when cardholders use
NCB's voucher processing services.


* JAMAICA: Debt Increased by JM$25 Billion Since April
------------------------------------------------------
Jamaica's debt has increased by US$25 billion since the start of
the fiscal year in April, RadioJamaica reports, citing the
Ministry of Finance.

According to the report, at the end of May the country owed its
local and international creditors JM$1.25 trillion, the report
relates domestic debt stood at JM$664 billion while JM$560 billion
was due to international creditors.

                        *     *     *

According to Moody's Web site, the country continues to hold a B1
foreign currency rating and a Ba2 local currency rating.


* JAMAICA: Objects to S&P's Credit Rating Downgrade
---------------------------------------------------
Standard and Poors downgrade of Jamaica's long term sovereign
credit rating to CCC+ isn't sitting well with the island's
government, Caribbean360.com reports.  The report relates Finance
Minister Audley Shaw is insisting that the ratings action "ignores
several positive economic developments that have taken place in
recent weeks".

"In recent months, there have been continued signs of an improved
outlook for Jamaica's credit profile," the report quoted Mr. Shaw
as saying.  The report relates Mr. Shaw pointed to significant
over-subscription of locally issued debt, sharp reductions in
market determined local interest rates, sustained stability in the
foreign exchange market, and tightening of the spreads of
government-issued foreign currency denominated debt traded in the
international capital markets.  These developments have also been
supported by Jamaica's application to the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) for a standby arrangement, Mr. Shaw added.

"We are confident that an IMF programme will enhance the already
positive trajectory in Jamaica's credit profile cited above. In
addition, we believe that an IMF programme will facilitate access
to other multilateral funding sources that will further reduce the
Government of Jamaica's borrowing costs," Mr. Shaw said, the
report notes.  "The Government believes that S&P's ratings action
are out of context given these developments," Mr. Shaw added.

According to the report, Mr. Shaw added that the Bruce Golding
administration is not pursuing nor does it intend to pursue any
transaction with its domestic or external partners that could be
viewed in any way as a "distressed transaction" according to S&P's
own criteria.  The report adds that Mr. Shaw insisted that the
government remains firmly committed to honoring all of its local
and international obligations and that the financial sector
continues to be strong, sound and well regulated by the Bank of
Jamaica and the Financial Services Commission.

                           *     *     *

According to Moody's Web site, the country continues to hold a B1
foreign currency rating and a Ba2 local currency rating.

ALESTRA S: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'B+'
------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B+' corporate
credit rating on Mexican telecommunications company Alestra S. de
R.L. de C.V.

S&P also affirmed its 'B+' local currency rating on Alestra's
$200 million in 144A long-term senior unsecured notes due in 2014,
and the recovery rating of '3', indicating S&P's expectation of
meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery in the event of a payment
default.

The outlook is stable.

"The affirmation reflects Alestra's completion of its issuance of
the notes," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Marcela Due¤as.
"It plans to use proceeds to refinance its existing senior notes,
resolving potential liquidity concerns."

The ratings on Alestra reflect the risks of competing with larger
and better capitalized telecoms, primarily incumbent Telefonos de
Mexico S.A.B. de C.V., in an industry subject to growing price
pressure.  The ratings also reflect the decline in revenues from
traditional long-distance services.

The ratings also consider Alestra's exposure to foreign-exchange
risk from all of its debt being denominated in U.S. dollars, and
the June 2010 maturity of its joint-venture agreement with 49%
stakeholder AT&T.  An expiration of this agreement could hurt
customer retention.

The company should be able to offset the decline in long-distance
revenues somewhat by capturing growth in value-added services in
Mexico.

Further tempering factors include Alestra's niche competitive
strategy of targeting services to multinational companies, large
and midsize enterprises, and high-end residential users; support
from equity owners Alfa S.A.B. de C.V. and AT&T Mexico (both
unrated); the company's well-established network with a
significant footprint in Mexico, and its margin stability and
positive free operating cash flow.


CEMEX SAB: Gains Support From All Creditors on Refinancing
----------------------------------------------------------
CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. said it won support for a plan to refinance
its debt from all affected creditors, Thomas Black at Bloomberg
News reports.  The report relates the company said it is now in
the documentation phase.

According to the report, Cemex has said the agreement will push
maturities on the debt to 2014, with some payments due before that
date, and may include the sale of new shares.  The plan would also
contain restrictions on acquisitions, investments and other
actions, the company added.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
July 1, 2009 Cemex SAB said it continues to make significant
progress with its core banks that represent a majority of the
Company's outstanding bank debt.  The report related Cemex
presented its refinancing proposal to the Company's full syndicate
of banks with a revised maturity schedule on a new facility
encompassing US$14.5 billion in bank debt that would run through
February 2014.  The company said that this revised schedule would
shift 2009-2011 maturities substantially into the future.
According to LatinFrance, the main features involve an extension
of maturities through one or more new facilities, and a
commensurate increase in margins.  The report relates one banker
overseeing Cemex facilities with new tenors ranging from 5-7 years
estimates updated pricing could stand at around 400bp over Libor.

A TCR-LA report on May 6, 2009, citing Bloomberg News, related
that Cemex is in negotiations with Banco Santander SA and Banco
Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA's Bancomer unit on loans to help it
cover debt obligations due this year.  According to a TCR-LA
report on March 11, Bloomberg News said Cemex started discussions
with banks to renegotiate about US$14.5 billion of debt after
postponing its bond sale.  Company spokesman Jorge Perez,
Bloomberg related, said the US$14.5 billion is all of Cemex's bank
debt and doesn't include any bonds.  At the end of December, Cemex
had total debt of US$18.8 billion, the report noted.  According to
Reuters, Cemex has been slammed by debt problems after its
ambitious Rinker takeover in 2007, slumping sales, and losses on
derivatives amid turmoil caused by the global credit crisis.

                         About Cemex, S.A.B.

CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. is a Mexican corporation, a holding company
of entities which main activities are oriented to the construction
industry, through the production, marketing, distribution and sale
of cement, ready-mix concrete, aggregates and other construction
materials.  CEMEX is a public stock corporation with variable
capital (S.A.B. de C.V.) organized under the laws of the United
Mexican States, or Mexico.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
June 17, 2009, Fitch Ratings placed on 'Rating Watch Evolving',
Cemex's ratings, including its 'B' Foreign currency Issuer Default
Rating, and 'B' Local currency IDR.

CABLE & WIRELESS: St. Kitts & Nevis Unit Posts EC$17MM Profit
-------------------------------------------------------------
LIME (St. Kitts and Nevis), a unit of Cable & Wireless plc, posted
pre-tax profit of EC$17.5 million for the year 2008/2009 from
EC$25.8 million in the same period last year, cupcom.com reports.
The report relates LIME Chairman for St. Kitts and Nevis, Lawrence
Mc Naughton, said exceptional costs (EC$5.8 million) associated
with the company's transformation were mainly responsible for the
decline in profit.

According to the report, the company reported profit after tax of
EC$8.6 million in 2008/2009 from EC$14.8 million in 2007/2008 and
EC$12.5 million in 2006/2007.  The report relates the company
reported gross revenue of EC$105.6 million in 2008/2009 from
EC$106.6 million for 2007/2008 and Corporation tax of EC$8.9
million in 2008/2009 compared to EC$11 million in 2007/2008.

?Our gross revenue of EC$105.6 was marginally lower than that of
the previous year.  Growth in mobile, broadband and other revenues
have minimized the impact of the decline in the traditional fixed
line business,? the report quoted Mr. Naughton as saying

Mr. Naughton, the report relates noted that Gross Margin for the
year grew by EC$2.8 million over the prior year mainly as a result
of the growth in Broadband and Mobile Gross Margins, led by
reductions in handset subsidies, which resulted in a net Cost of
Sales improvement of EC$1.3 million over the year 2007/2008.

The report notes the company invested EC$2.2 million in its
Broadband Network and EC$1.7 million to upgrade its Mobile Network
providing better quality of service.

BRITISH WEST: U.S. SEC Not Responsible to Help Shareholders
-----------------------------------------------------------
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission said
it is not the SEC's responsibility to help defunct airline British
West Indies' minority shareholders get what they have termed a
"fair price" for their stock in the airline, Trinidad Express
reports.  The report relates SEC Commissioner Francis Lewis said
the Commission had no issues acting as a facilitator for dialogue
on the matter, however, "the role of the SEC is not to decide on
the value (of shares)."

According to the report, Mr. Lewis said the country's laws
provided a clear route which the aggrieved shareholders could take
to get the courts to decide on a fair price.

However, the report notes that financial consultant Peter Permell
argued that the SEC had jurisdiction over the matter, as BWIA was
a publicly listed company and under Section 4 of the Companies Act
Chapter 81:01 of the Laws of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago
and Section 3 of the Securities Industry Act Chap 83:02, a "public
company" is defined as "a company whose issued shares or
debentures are or were part of a distribution, or an offer, to the
public".  The report relates Mr. Permell said even though BWIA was
now de-listed the SEC must fulfill its responsibilities and if it
did not, the minority shareholders group would have to go the
courts to have them give the proper interpretation of the by laws
as they pertains to the SEC responsibilities.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
August 6, 2009, Trinidad and Tobago Newsday said British West
Indies' minority shareholders, said Mr. Permell and legal advisor
Lynette Seebaran-Suite, are seeking at least a TT$1.80 share price
from Government, if they do resort to getting a fair share value
from the courts.  Trinidad and Tobago Express related BWIA's
shareholders said they will take Trinidad and Tobago government to
court to get a better price for their shares in the defunct
airline, as they find the 20 cents offer the government is
proposing "disrespectful."  Trinidad Express recalled a group of
minority shareholders of BWIA rejected the Trinidad and Tobago
government's offer to pay them for their stock.

According to the report, the airline's shareholders paid between
US$4 and more than US$6 per share about 10 years ago and they
refused to accept the ex-gratia payment from government by the
July 31 deadline.  The report noted the payment amounts to about
TT$7 million but shareholders say their investments are worth mire
than five times that.  The report related Ministry of Finance
Mariano Browne said that based on statements made by the
Government in 2004 it was evident that the State had always
intended to deal with the minority shareholders and, "we
consider our offer to be a good offer".  The Express pointed out
that Mr. Browne said former BWIA shareholders won't be receiving
shares in Caribbean Airlines as a trade-off as the government's
responsibilities in dealing with the shareholders was only with
regard to BWIA, which was to an extent already "bankrupt" in 2004.

                    About British West Indies

British West Indies aka BWIA was founded in 1940, and for more
than 60 years had been serving the Caribbean islands from
Trinidad and Tobago, the hub of the Americas, linking the twin
island republic and many other Caribbean islands with North
America, South America, the United Kingdom and Europe.

The airline had reportedly been losing US$1 million a week due
to poor operational management.  An employee survey revealed
that lack of responsibility by the management was a major issue
in the company.  A number of key employees moved to other
companies caused by a deadlock in the airline's negotiation with
its labor union.

The Trinidad & Tobago government, which owns 97.188% of BWIA,
decided to shut down the airline on Dec. 31, 2006, and launch the
Caribbean Airlines.

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
