STANFORD INT'L: Owner's Knighthood Officially Revoked
-----------------------------------------------------
Antigua and Barbuda has officially revoked Robert Allen Stanford's
knighthood in the country, CaribWorldNews. The report relates
that the island's Governor General, Dame Louise Lake-Tack,
officially signed the order revoking the knighthood. The notice
of the revocation would be forwarded to Mr. Stanford.
According to the report, Mr. Stanford was knighted on the
recommendation of the main opposition Antigua Labor Party in 2006.
The report notes that moves to strip Mr. Stanford of the
knighthood began last year, months after he was charged with
perpetrating a massive Ponzi scheme.
The report notes that the knighthood revocation order comes as
Antigua and Barbuda's Baldwin Spencer government faces a civil
lawsuit from Stanford investors and just days after judge ruled
that Mr. Spencer and two other lawmakers were improperly elected
last year.

fraudulent, multi-billion dollar investment scheme centering on
an US$8 billion Certificate of Deposit program.

STANFORD INT'L: Panamanian Asset Sale Yields US$14.2 Million
------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew M. Harris at Bloomberg News reports that the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission obtained more than US$14.2
million for Stanford Financial Group investors in a Panamanian
asset sale. The report relates the commission said that the money
"has been secured for the benefit of the worldwide victims of
Robert Allen Stanford's alleged multibillion dollar fraud scheme."
According to the report, the U.S. SEC said that Mr. Stanford was
the sole owner of an entity that owned Stanford Bank (Panama) SA,
a Panama City-based bank and brokerage business, and another firm
called Stanford Casa de Valores SA. The report relates that after
U.S. authorities obtained the asset-freeze order, Panamanian
banking and securities regulators assumed control of Stanford
assets in that country.
Bloomberg News, citing court paper, notes that Mr. Stanford
opposed the sale of his Panamanian assets, arguing they were being
sold for less than they were worth. U.S. District Judge David
Godbey in Dallas approved the transaction in a Feb. 10 order.

market to bolster future sales after it returned to a profit last
quarter.

Seara poultry and pork businesses from Cargill Inc. will help fuel
local sales. The report relates Mr. Molina said that the company
will also seek to expand the Seara brand abroad.

* COLOMBIA: Economy Not Severely Affected by Crisis, IMF Says
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund concluded
the Article IV consultation with Colombia.
Background
With strong policy and institutional frameworks, the global crisis
did not have too severe effects on Colombia's economy. The
economy had begun to slow down in early 2008 as policies had been
tightened to address overheating, but the global crisis caused
private investment to collapse in the last quarter of 2008.
Domestic demand began recovering in the second half of 2009, led
by public investment and consumption. For the year as a whole,
real gross domestic product growth was 0.4%. With near zero food
price inflation and a negative output gap, end-year inflation fell
to 2% from 7.7% at end-2008. The exchange rate served as the main
shock absorber, and net international reserves (excluding the
special drawing rights (SDR) allocation) remained broadly constant
at the end-2008 level of US$24 billion. The financial system did
not experience major strains from the global crisis as capital
adequacy remained strong and non-performing loans increased only
slightly, backed by high provisions. The corporate sector's
strong balance sheets and the moderate levels of household debt
also helped avoid financial distress.
The authorities were able to adopt countercyclical monetary and
fiscal policy measures. Monetary policy responded swiftly, with a
650 basis point reduction in the policy rate (to 31/2%). Fiscal
policy also contributed to support demand, imparting a fiscal
impulse of about 1% of GDP in 2009 as measured by the change in
the combined public sector overall structural balance. With
uninterrupted access to capital markets, the government was able
to preemptively increase its foreign borrowing (about 2% of GDP).
Furthermore, several measures were taken to strengthen financial
sector resilience, including an agreement between banks and the
superintendent to retain a portion of 2008 profits.
The outlook for 2010 is generally positive. Real GDP growth in
2010 is projected at about 21/4%, reflecting the upturn in the
world economy and the impact of the expansionary policies of 2009
(though dampened by lower exports to Venezuela). Inflation is
likely to remain within the central bank target range of 2-4%, as
the effects of El Ni¤o on food inflation are expected to be short
lived and likely to be offset by the output gap and peso
appreciation. The external current account deficit is expected to
widen in 2010 to 3.1% of GDP on account of lower exports to
Venezuela and a pickup in oil investment-related imports. The
bulk of this deficit would be financed by foreign direct
investment, with other private flows also expected to recover.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors commended the Colombian authorities for
maintaining strong policy and institutional frameworks during the
global crisis. This, together with an early request for a
flexible credit line from the Fund, contributed to preserving
external confidence and limiting the impact of the crisis.
Directors considered that, with improved economic fundamentals and
a healthy banking system, Colombia is well-placed to confront the
challenges posed by the still uncertain global outlook.
Directors considered that monetary and fiscal policies should
remain broadly supportive until there is clear evidence of
sustained recovery. Consequently, close monitoring of forward
looking indicators of activity and inflation will be essential to
guide the size and timing of the withdrawal of support. Directors
emphasized that the Colombian authorities should prevent
anticipated increases in food prices from affecting long-term
inflation expectations.
Directors noted that the deterioration of the fiscal position was
mainly driven by weak domestic demand conditions. In the medium
term, as economic activity recovers, oil-related revenues
increase, and government spending is kept in check, the fiscal
deficit is expected to fall and public debt to resume a downward
trend. Directors welcomed the authorities' intention to establish
a fiscal rule, which would provide stronger assurances that the
recent increase in public debt will be undone. A number of
Directors encouraged the authorities to broaden the coverage of
the fiscal rule. Directors welcomed the authorities' commitment to
contain health costs, and their intention to take compensatory
measures if fiscal risks materialize. They also encouraged the
authorities to further develop a strategy to minimize medium-term
fiscal risks, including those resulting from investment tax
incentives and special tax regimes, and pension spending.
Directors agreed that the flexible exchange rate policy has helped
protect the external position in the face of adverse shocks. Some
Directors considered that other temporary instruments could
complement the flexible exchange rate regime and rule-based
intervention in the foreign exchange market as a policy response
if the risk of a surge in capital inflows were to materialize.
Some Directors saw merit in further strengthening reserve
coverage, while others stressed that the authorities pay close
attention to the costs and externalities of reserve accumulation.
Directors encouraged the authorities to remove the exchange
restriction arising from the special regime for the hydrocarbons
sector.
Directors noted the soundness of the financial system, and
welcomed improvements in financial regulation and reforms to
develop capital markets. The new liquidity management system, the
broader coverage of deposit insurance, and the enhanced tools to
facilitate bank resolution, further strengthen crisis
preparedness. Directors commended the authorities for
improvements in the over-the-counter market infrastructure, new
regulations on collective investment vehicles, and the broader
investment strategy options for pension funds, which will
contribute to financial deepening.

AIR JAMAICA: Ops. Maybe Shutdown if U.S. DOT Won't Honor Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ingrid Brown at Jamaica Observer reports that Air Jamaica Limited
could be forced to shut down prematurely, leaving a major gap in
air seats to the island, if the U.S. Department of Transportation
turns down an urgent request the national airline is making.
According to the report, on March 24, 2010, the airline wrote to
the DOT asking for permission to continue to operate on the terms
of its existing authority during the six-to-12-month transition
period expected under the divestment agreement with Caribbean
Airlines Limited, which is to take effect on April 12, 2010. The
report relates failing that permission, Air Jamaica is asking the
Americans for an urgent waiver of the DOT's standard ownership and
control policy, in order for it to maintain services for the one-
year period under its Transitional Services Agreement with
Caribbean Airlines. "Air Jamaica respectfully requests the
Department's expedited consideration of the matters raised in this
letter, with a definitive DOT determination by no later than April
5, 2010," the airline's Washington-based counsel, George Carneal,
wrote in a letter obtained by the news agency.
The report notes that it was not immediately clear how the U.S.
would react, given the stand-off between Kingston and Washington
over the stalled extradition of Tivoli Gardens strongman,
Christopher 'Dudus' Coke.
The Jamaican government, the report notes, said that it would not
bow to U.S. demands for Mr. Coke whom they want to face trial on
gun and drug-trafficking charges. The report relates that Jamaica
said the U.S. evidence against Mr. Coke was obtained in breach of
his constitutional rights.
The Observer notes Chief Executive Officer of Air Jamaica Bruce
Nobles said that as part of the transit agreement, Air Jamaica
would continue to operate under its existing authority under the
contractual agreement with Caribbean Airlines and "we are asking
the Department of Transportation for their concurrence with that
strategy."
However, the report says, Mr. Carneal noted that prompt
implementation of the required interim structure was essential to
ensure Air Jamaica's continued commercial operations during the
transition period, until such time as CAL was able to take over
key Air Jamaica routes.
About Air Jamaica
Headquartered in Kingston, Jamaica, Air Jamaica Limited --
http://www.airjamaica.com/-- was founded in 1969. It flies
passengers and cargo to almost 30 destinations in the Caribbean,
Europe, and North America. Air Jamaica offers vacation packages
through Air Jamaica Vacations. The company closed its intra-
island services unit, Air Jamaica Express, in October 2005. The
Jamaican government owned 25% of the company after it went private
in 1994. However, in late 2004, the government assumed full
ownership of the airline after an investor group turned over its
75% stake. The Jamaican government does not plan to own Air
Jamaica permanently.
* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
January 27, 2010, Moody's Investors Service changed the ratings
outlook of Air Jamaica Limited to stable. The Corporate Family
and senior unsecured ratings of Air Jamaica are affirmed at Caa1.
The change in outlook mirrors the change of the outlook of the
foreign currency bond rating of The Government of Jamaica to
stable, which occurred on January 22, 2010. The ratings reflect
Jamaica's unconditional and irrevocable guarantee of the rated
debt obligations of Air Jamaica. The foreign currency bond rating
of Jamaica remains Caa1, notwithstanding the January 22, 2010
downgrade of Jamaica's local currency bond rating by Moody's to
Caa2.
As reported in the TCR-LA on November 5, 2009, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services said that it lowered its long-term corporate
credit rating on Air Jamaica Ltd. to 'CCC' from 'CCC+'. The
outlook is negative.
JAMAICA PUBLIC SERVICE: Senior Executive Post Made Redundant
------------------------------------------------------------
A senior executive at the Jamaica Public Service Company has
become the first local casualty of a major restructuring exercise
being carried out by the entity's majority shareholder,
RadioJamaica reports. The report relates Gary Osbourne, Chief
Financial Officer for JPSCO, was advised to leave the company,
effective March 31, 2010.
According to the report, Marubeni TAQA Caribbean, which has a
controlling interest in the JPSCO, is currently in the process of
restructuring its operations as part of a plan to improve
efficiency. The report relates that following a detailed review
of its operations, MTC has decided to significantly reduce its
staff complement at its head office in Atlanta.
The exercise, the report notes, extends to expatriates assigned to
its Caribbean business units.
Headquartered in Kingston, Jamaica -- https://www.jpsco.com/ --
Jamaica Public Service Company Limited is an integrated electric
utility company and the sole distributor of electricity in
Jamaica. The company is engaged in the generation, transmission
and distribution of electricity, and also purchases power from
five Independent Power Producers. Japanese-based Marubeni
Corporation owns 80 percent of the company. The Government of
Jamaica and a small group of minority shareholders own the
remaining shares. JPS currently has roughly 582,000 customers who
are served by a workforce of over 1,600 employees. The Company
owns and operates 28 generating plants, 54 substations, and
roughly 14,000 kilometers of distribution and transmission lines.
* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
March 12, 2010, RadioJamaica said that the multi-billion dollar
show down between the Jamaica Public Service and the three unions
-- BITU, NWU, and UCASE -- representing workers at the company has
entered the penultimate stage before the Industrial Disputes
Tribunal. The report related that the IDT heard testimony from
the Chairman of JPSCO, Tommy Fukuda who was called as the last
witness. According to the report, Mr. Fukuda maintained that
JPSCO has paid the US$2.3 billion it owed the workers following
the 2001 job reclassification exercise. However, the report
related, the three unions argued that the company still owed the
workers an additional JM$500 to 600 million dollars in
retroactive, overtime and redundancy payments.
WINDALCO: Ends Operations in Jamaica, Lays Off 762 Workers
-----------------------------------------------------------
West Indies Alumina Company Limited laid off 762 workers and
ceased all bauxite projects, The Associated Press reports. The
report relates spokeswoman Kayon Wallace said that Windalco said
it will retain 257 contract workers only to continue agricultural
and land restoration projects.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
March 8, 2010, Jamaica Gleaner said that in 2009, the company
suspended production at its Kirkvine, Manchester, and Ewarton, St
Catherine, refineries because of reduced demand for aluminium on
the world market. The company is 93% owned by Russian entity, UC
Rusal. The Gleaner disclosed that Kayon Wallace, Windalco's
senior communications officer, said that, as of April 1, a 'take-
care' organization comprising a small complement of contract
workers will be responsible for preserving the company's assets
and meeting legal and community obligations. The report added
that Mr. Wallace said that the company will still be involved in
agricultural activities that formed part of its original mandate.
About WINDALCO
West Indies Alumina Company is situated on the island of Jamaica
in the Caribbean. The company comprises two alumina refineries
(Ewarton Works and Kirkvine Works), a shipping port (Port
Esquivel) and also bauxite mines in Schwallenburgh (Ewarton) and
Russell Place (Kirkvine) and farms in Manchester and St. Ann.
* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
March 8, 2010, Jamaica Gleaner said that West Indies Alumina
Company will end its bauxite production in Jamaica and make 762
permanent jobs redundant. The report related that the redundancy
exercise comes a year after the company suspended production at
its Kirkvine, Manchester, and Ewarton, St Catherine, refineries
because of reduced demand for aluminium on the world market. The
company is 93% owned by Russian entity, UC Rusal.
* JAMAICA: Sugar Transformation Project Gets JM$857 Million
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Jamaican government has set aside JM$857.6 million for the
Sugar Transformation Project in the 2010/11 Estimates of
Expenditure, which is now before the House of Representatives.
According to the report, as stated in the Estimates, the project
aims to develop a sustainable private sector- led sugar cane
industry by 2015; strengthen the economic diversification, social
resilience and environmental sustainability of sugar dependent
areas; and maintain progress towards macro-economic goals.
The report notes that some achievements up to February 2010
included:
-- a fully staffed and operational Sugar Transformation Unit;
-- redundancy payments made to approximately 3,600 displaced
Sugar Company of Jamaica employees;
-- two of five government-owned sugar estates divested;
-- over 300 vulnerable Sugar Company of Jamaica employees
receive grant assistance under the Sugar Area Development
Program; and
-- seven studies related to the implementation of the
Government of Jamaica's Sugar Adaptation Strategy.
The report notes that anticipated targets for the 2010/11 fiscal
year include:
* increased capitalization of the Cane Expansion Fund
administered by the Sugar Industry Authority;
* registration of 1,000 small farmers for the Sugar Area
Development Program;
* implementation (roll-out) of 2,500 in kind grants to
vulnerable displaced Sugar Company of Jamaica employees; and
* privatization of the remaining three Government of Jamaica
sugar estates by the end of the 2010/11 financial year.
The project is being funded by the Government of Jamaica and the
European Union, the report adds.

downgraded Jamaica's long-term local currency rating
to 'C' from 'CCC'. In addition, Fitch has affirmed Jamaica's
long-term and short-term foreign currency ratings at 'CCC' and 'C'
respectively, and affirmed the Country Ceiling at 'B-'. Jamaica's
sovereign ratings Outlook remains Negative

CEMEX SAB: Commences Exchange Offers for Perpetual Securities
-------------------------------------------------------------
CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. disclosed the commencement of four separate
private offers to exchange CEMEX's currently outstanding Perpetual
Debentures for new senior secured notes to be denominated in
dollars and euros. The issuer of the New Senior Secured Notes is
CEMEX Espana, S.A., acting through its Luxembourg branch. The
Issuer is offering to exchange:
(1) any and all of the properly tendered and accepted outstanding
U.S. dollar-denominated 6.196% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Callable
Perpetual Debentures at US$713.75 per US$1,000 principal
amount for New Dollar Senior Secured Notes,
(2) any and all of the properly tendered and accepted outstanding
U.S. dollar-denominated 6.64% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Callable
Perpetual Debentures at US$716.25 per US$1,000 principal
amount for New Dollar Senior Secured Notes,
(3) any and all of the properly tendered and accepted outstanding
U.S. dollar-denominated 6.722% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Callable
Perpetual Debentures at US$723.75 per US$1,000 principal
amount for New Dollar Senior Secured Notes, and
(4) any and all of the properly tendered and accepted outstanding
Euro-denominated 6.277% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Callable
Perpetual Debentures at EUR687.50 per EUR1,000 principal
amount for either New Euro Senior Secured Notes or New Dollar
Senior Secured Notes at the option of the exchanging holder.
The exchange of Euro-denominated Perpetual Debentures for New
Dollar Senior Secured Notes will be done at US$1.3468 per
EUR1.00, the official exchange rate published by the European
Central Bank on April 1, 2010.
The New Senior Secured Notes denominated in Dollars will mature in
10 years, pay a coupon of 9.25% annually, and be callable
commencing on the fifth anniversary of their initial issuance.
The New Senior Secured Notes denominated in Euros will mature in 7
years, pay a coupon of 8.875% annually, and be callable commencing
on the fourth anniversary of their original issuance. The terms
of the Exchange Offers provide for the exchange of the Perpetual
Debentures at discounts from their principal amounts and thus, to
the extent Perpetual Debentures are exchanged for New Senior
Secured Notes, will reduce the aggregate principal amount of
CEMEX's outstanding financial obligations.
The New Senior Secured Notes in Dollars and Euros (i) will
represent senior obligations of the Issuer, (ii) will be
unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the same
guarantors of the Dual Currency Notes: CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.,
CEMEX Mexico, S.A. de C.V., and New Sunward Holding B.V., and
(iii) since the New Senior Secured Notes are refinancing or
replacing existing financial indebtedness under the Financing
Agreement dated August 14, 2009, as amended, will share the same
Collateral that secures the obligations under the Dual Currency
Notes, the Financing Agreement and other senior secured debt
having the benefit of such Collateral.
The Exchange Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time,
on April 30, 2010, unless extended or earlier terminated (which
CEMEX may do in its absolute discretion). Eligible holders of the
Perpetual Debentures who properly tender and do not validly
withdraw their Perpetual Debentures by 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on April 16, 2010 will receive an additional fee of US$30
per US$1,000 of principal amount tendered for the U.S. dollar-
denominated Perpetual Debentures, and EUR30 per EUR1,000 of
principal amount tendered for the Euro-denominated Perpetual
Debentures. Eligible holders of the Perpetual Debentures that
properly tender their Perpetual Debentures will not be able to
validly withdraw them after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
April 16, 2010. Holders that tender after April 16, 2010 can
validly withdraw until April 30, 2010.
Holders of Perpetual Debentures who want to participate in the
Exchange Offers must consent to the Proposed Amendments to the
indentures governing the Perpetual Debentures and the underlying
Dual Currency Notes and the related amendments to certain
collateral documents. Each Exchange Offer is subject to, among
other things, the condition that the consents of holders
representing at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Perpetual Debentures of the applicable series have
been received and not revoked. None of the Exchange Offers is
contingent on the completion of any other Exchange Offer. Each
Exchange Offer may be modified, extended or cancelled at any time.
The Exchange Offers are being made within the United States only
to "qualified institutional buyers" pursuant to Rule 144A under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to persons that are
not "U.S. persons," as such term is defined in Rule 902(k) of
Regulation S under the Securities Act and who would be
participating in any transaction in accordance with Regulation S.
The New Senior Secured Notes to be offered have not been
registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold
in the United States absent an applicable exemption from
registration requirements. The Exchange Offers are not being made
to any person located or resident in the Republic of Italy, the
Kingdom of Spain and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
About Cemex SAB
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 of March 8, 2010, the company continues to carry Standard and
Poor's "B" LT Issuer credit ratings. The company also continues
to carry Fitch rating's "B" LT Issuer Default ratings and "B+"
Currency LT Debt ratings. Cemex is seeking US$1.3 billion in
compensation for the seizure of its assets. The government of
President Hugo Chavez has offered about a third of that.
The flare-up in relations between Venezuela and Cemex does not
bode well for the Monterrey-based cement maker's efforts to win
back money it badly needs to pay off debt, analysts say.
Cemex hopes to use compensation from Venezuela to reduce its US$15
billion debt load as it struggles with slumping U.S. and European
cement volumes due to the global recession and a collapse in
construction activity worldwide. Cemex took on big debts to
finance its acquisition of Australia's Rinker in 2007, just before
the U.S. housing crisis broke.
SATMEX SA: Must Replace Satellite in 31 Months
----------------------------------------------
Satelites Mexicanos, S.A. de C.V., said it not only has to
negotiate a restructuring plan with shareholders and creditors but
also replace its damaged Satmex 5 satellite within the next 31
months, Latin American Herald Tribune reports. The report relates
that the company said that it "will continue exploring new
strategic alternatives and restructuring options and remains
focused on its long-term viability."
"Our goals are to replace Satmex 5 with Satmex 8 as soon as
possible and ensure the company obtains the financing to launch
and operate Satmex 7," the report quoted Satmex CEO Patricio
Northland, as saying. The report relates the company said that it
is planning to transition from Satmex 5 to Satmex 8 and that it
has negotiated a deal with U.S. firm Space Systems Loral to build
that new satellite.
According o the report, the company's Satmex 5 has been operating
on backup power since January after an "unexpected shutdown" in
its primary propulsion system. "Satmex estimates that beginning
April 1, 2010, that backup system will provide approximately 31
months of useful life." The report relates that the company said
that this mechanical failure "has not affected Satmex 5's service
to date and the plan is for it to continue to provide service
during its remaining lifespan without any negative impact on
Satmex 5's customers."
Meanwhile, the report relates, the new Satmex 8 satellite is
expected to have 64 transponders with a useful life of 15 years
and more powerful and flexible technological equipment for a broad
range of telecommunications applications. The report notes that
the agreement with Space Systems Loral calls for the U.S. firm to
have Satmex 8 ready for launch in a period of 27 months after
payment of the first installment. The company said the agreement
will expire in 60 days in the event a final contract for the
construction of Satmex 8 is not executed, the report says.
The Herald says that Satmex will need authorization from its
creditors -- holders of bonds expiring in 2011 and 2013 -- to
execute the final contract and cover the costs of building and
launching Satmex 8. The report points out that the company noted
that in the event this plan fails, "Satmex's ability to offer
effective satellite services to its customers could be affected."
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
March 18, 2010, Bloomberg News said that EchoStar Corp. and
MVS Comunicaciones SA ended their agreement to buy Satelites
Mexicanos SA for US$267 million after the Mexican satellite
operator's bondholders objected to the deal. The report related
that the termination leaves Satmex SA empty-handed after searching
for more than a year for a buyer or way to restructure debt.

CRYSTALLEX INT'L: Dec. 31 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by US$44.7MM
----------------------------------------------------------------
On April 1, 2010, Crystallex International Corporation filed its
annual report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2009.
The Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, showed
$58.1 million in assets and $102.8 million of debts, for a
stockholders' deficit of $44.7 million.
The Company reported a net loss of $313.9 million for 2009,
compared with a net loss of $25.7 million for 2008. The Company
had no revenue from continuing operations in 2009 and 2008.
"As at December 31, 2009, the Company had positive working capital
of $7.2 million, including cash and cash equivalents of
$6.9 million. Management estimates that these funds, in addition
to the proceeds from the equipment held for sale and loan, will be
sufficient to meet the Company's obligations and budgeted
expenditures through the second quarter of 2010, but will not be
sufficient to cover the Company's obligations over the next twelve
months. This uncertainty raises substantial doubt as to the
ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due
and, accordingly, as to the appropriateness of the use of
accounting principles applicable to a going concern."

PETROLEOS DE VENEZUELA: In Talks With Rosneft
---------------------------------------------
Russia's largest oil producer Rosneft said that it was in talks
with Petroleos de Venezuela "on various issues," though there were
no proposals to acquire a stake in PDVSA's German assets, Dmitry
Zhdannikov at Reuters reports.
Unnamed industry sources told Reuters that Rosneft was seeking to
buy stakes in four German refineries from Venezuela as part of a
Kremlin drive to encourage its firms to own assets all over the
world. "Rosneft is in talks with PDVSA on various issues, has not
received proposals to buy a stake in German refineries", a Rosneft
spokesman told Reuters in an interview.
The report notes that the deal, in which Rosneft could buy PDVSA's
50% stake in the Ruhr Oil refinery venture with BP, may be
discussed on the fringes of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin's visit to Venezuela on later.

***********
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
