At the same time, S&P affirmed its 'B' corporate credit ratings on the company and four key subsidiaries. "The outlook action reflects S&P's view that Cemex's operating and financial recovery will take longer than S&P had previously expected," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Laura Martinez. S&P base this opinion on the company's weak second-quarter results, its downward revision of 2010 profit guidance, and the industry's weaker recovery prospects in key markets, particularly in the U.S. This forecast compares unfavorably with S&P's previous expectations of an improvement in volume and free operating cash flow generation during 2010, on forecasted better conditions in the global economy. The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that Cemex's FOCF will continue to recover gradually and should be sufficient to meet its medium-term debt maturities, with its key financial ratios also showing some improvement in the coming quarters. ======= P E R U ======= BANCO DE CREDITO: Fitch Assigns Ratings on Senior Unsecured Notes ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fitch Ratings has assigned Banco de Credito del Peru's upcoming 10-year U.S. dollar senior unsecured fixed-rate notes an expected long-term rating of 'BBB'. The notes - for an amount to be determined - will be issued by BCP through its Panamanian branch. Principal will mature in 10 years, and interest payments will be made semi-annually until maturity. The notes will carry a fixed interest rate to be set at time of issuance. The final rating is contingent upon the receipt of final documents conforming to information already received. BCP has a long-term local currency Issuer Default Rating of 'BBB', and a long-term foreign currency IDR of 'BBB'. The notes will rank pari-passu with all of BCP's existing and future senior unsecured debt and will be senior to BCP's existing and future subordinated and junior subordinated debt. BCP will use the proceeds from the planned issue for general corporate purposes. Although its leverage will increase in the short run, Fitch expects that gradual debt replacement and continued growth and positive returns, will allow the bank to sustain adequate capital levels. BCP is Peru's largest bank, with a dominating market share of about 37% of the system's assets. It is the principal operating company within Credicorp, Peru's largest financial services company, which controls 97.4% of BCP; Credicorp is widely held. Fitch rates BCP: -- Foreign currency long-term IDR 'BBB'; -- Foreign currency short-term IDR 'F2'; -- Local currency long-term IDR 'BBB'; -- Local currency short-term IDR 'F2'; -- Individual rating 'C'; -- Support rating '3'; -- Support floor 'BB+'; -- Subordinated debt 'BBB-'; -- Junior subordinated debt 'BB+'. The Rating Outlook is Stable. PACHAPAQUI MINE: Korea Zinc to Purchase Mine for US$47.5 Million ---------------------------------------------------------------- Bomi Lim and Sungwoo Park at Bloomberg News report that Korea Zinc Co. will buy Pachapaqui mine in Peru for US$47.5 million to secure stable supplies of raw materials. The report relates that Pachapaqui mine's operations were suspended because of financial difficulties. According to the report, Korea Zinc plans to gradually expand the mine's capacity. The report relates that Korea Zinc will take all of the mined resources from the site. Pachapaqui mine is located 240 kilometers (149 miles) north of Lima. The mine produced copper, lead and silver. ==================== P U E R T O R I C O ==================== MANDY'S BBQ: Files Chapter 11 Petition in U.S. ---------------------------------------------- Mandy's BBQ has filed for Chapter 11 protection on September 2, 2010, in the United States with nearly US$3 million in total liabilities. Caribbeanbusinesspr.com reports that the company listed US$1.8 million in secured debt. According to the report, US$1.7 million of the total secured debt is owed to Eurobank, which was seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and auctioned off to Oriental Financial Group in April. The report notes that Eurobank was also listed as an unsecured creditor with a claim for US$76,500. The report says that the filing lists more than US$644,000 in unsecured debt. Of that, the report notes, US$300,000 is owed to R&G Premier Bank, which the FDIC failed and sold to Scotiabank in April. Caribbeanbusinesspr.com discloses that other large unsecured creditors include: -- Treasury Department (US$200,600); -- federal Internal Revenue Service (US$180,000); -- Municipal Revenue Collection Center (US$69,900); -- Labor Department (US$46,000); -- FirstBank Puerto Rico (US$60,000); -- V Suarez (US$54,000); -- RJ Industrial (US$40,000); -- San Juan municipal government (US$30,400); -- Legrand (US$26,700); -- Northwestern Selecta (US$23,900); and -- Isidoro Roffe Cohen (US$21,000).

The report relates that the request came one day before Finance Minister Winston Dookeran presents the 2010/2011 national budget in Parliament. According to the report, government sources have suggested a fiscal measure will be put in place for members and depositors of the HCU in the budget. The report notes that Mr. Harnarine's request was supported by the HCU board of directors, members of the HCU Shareholders and Depositors Group and the HCU Depositors Company Ltd. Mr. Harnarine, the report relates, said he was not looking for a "bailout" from the State but, instead, was seeking the payment for damages related to the HCU's assets. Mr. Harnarine valued the damages at TT$150 million. Meanwhile, Robert Nandlal, president of the HCU Depositors and Shareholders Group, also challenged the authority of Deosaran Bisnath, head of the HCU Credit Union Group, to address matters affecting the failed cooperative society. About Hindu Credit Hindu Credit Union Co-Operative Society Limited (HCU) --http://www.ourhcu.com/-- is headquartered in Borough, Chaguanas, in Trinidad and Tobago. As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on July 28, 2008, the High Court of Trinidad and Tobago granted the government full control of Hindu Credit as the company faces financial difficulties, leaving depositors in limbo despite requests from lawyers. In June 2008, chartered accountants Ernst and Young inspected Hindu Credit's books, accounts, and records after a public outcry and calls for an internal audit. Charles Mitchell, the Commissioner for Co-Operative Development, represents Hindu Credit's depositors. ============= U R U G U A Y ============= BANCO BILBAO: S&P Raises Counterparty Credit Ratings to 'BB' ------------------------------------------------------------ Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it raised its long- term counterparty credit ratings on Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Uruguay, Citibank N.A. (Uruguay Branch), and Discount Bank Latin America S.A. to 'BB' from 'BB-', in tandem with the Sept. 6, 2010, sovereign upgrade on the Oriental Republic of Uruguay (BB/Stable/B). The outlooks are stable. "These actions reflect S&P's assessment that prudent macroeconomic management amid sustained economic growth will continue to reduce Uruguay's remaining credit vulnerabilities over the medium term," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Delfina Cavanagh. S&P expects that a successful economic policy framework that combines a solid commitment with strengthening macroeconomic stability and a gradual progress on the reform agenda will continue under President Jose Mujica's administration based on the support initially given to an experienced economic team. S&P further believes that the improved conditions in Uruguay will benefit the overall credit quality of its financial system. =============== X X X X X X X X =============== * Upcoming Meetings, Conferences and Seminars --------------------------------------------- Sept. 14, 2010 AMERICAN BANKRUPTCY INSTITUTE ABI/NYIC Golf and Tennis Fundraiser Maplewood Golf Club, Maplewood, N.J.

Submissions via e-mail to conferences@bankrupt.com are encouraged. *********** 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.
