GAFISA SA: Moody's Assigns 'Ba2' Rating on BRL300 Mil. Bonds
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's has assigned a Ba2 local currency and a A1.br Brazil
national scale rating to Gafisa S.A.'s proposed BRL300 million
senior unsecured debentures issuance. The proceeds will be used
in the lengthening of the company's debt profile and lowering the
cost of debt though the payment of upcoming more expensive debt
maturities, such as other unsecured debentures, CCBs and working
capital loans. At the same time, Moody's affirmed Gafisa's
Ba2/A1.br corporate family ratings and Ba1/Aa2.br senior secured
debentures rating. The outlook for the ratings was changed to
stable from negative.
Ratings Assigned:
* BRL300 million unsecured debentures: Ba2/A1.br
Ratings Affirmed:
* Corporate Family Rating: Ba2/A1.br
* BRL600 million senior secured debentures: Ba1/Aa2.br
Ratings Rationale
The change in outlook to stable mainly reflects Gafisa's stronger
sales speed and higher volume of launches compared to the last
quarter of 2008 when the outlook was changed to negative as well
as higher operating margins (16.9% in the last twelve months ended
in June 2010) that are expected to further increase. More
favorable macroeconomic environment, government and banking
financial support towards the industry, more comfortable debt
maturity profile after the issuance of the proposed debentures,
lower leverage and better liquidity also support the outlook
stabilization.
Gafisa's Ba2 rating continues to reflect its strong market share
position, its diversified product portfolio with a strategic land
bank position distributed across 198 projects in 22 states, plus
Brasilia cap¡tal district, experienced and conservative management
team, and good access to the capital markets as proven by the
company's BRL1.02 billion net equity issuance in March 2010. The
rating is further supported by Gafisa's strong brand name in the
Brazilian homebuilding sector and long track record of operations
that started in 1954, thus having managed through a number of
economic crises. On the other hand, these positive factors are
constrained by Gafisa's higher leverage when compared to higher
rated local peers as well as lower profitability as measured by
gross margin. Gafisa's concentration on the high-rise segment,
which pressures working capital and free cash flow due to the
extended construction periods of more than 2 years also constrains
the ratings.
During the last twelve months ended in June 2010, Gafisa reported
net sales of BRL3.6 billion, up 61% compared to the same period
last year, reflecting higher volume of launchings and accelerated
pace of construction that allowed the company to recognize a
significant amount of revenues. Tenda, the lower income brand of
Gafisa contributed with 32% of the revenues with an average price
per unit of BRL100,000.
From 2011 on, according to the company's project delivery
schedule, it is expected that Gafisa will start generating a
higher volume of cash internally, since a large amount of projects
launched in 2007 and 2008 will be delivered to their buyers and
converted into cash. Moody's expect that the company will use
part of this cash to build a stronger cash cushion to more
comfortably face an eventual downturn in the homebuilding industry
or to pay down part of its corporate debt unrelated to
construction, and deleverage its balance sheet.
By the end of June, 2010 Gafisa had BRL1.8 billion in cash and
marketable securities on its balance sheet, and BRL945 million in
short term debt coming due during the 4Q'10 and 2011. Out of the
BRL945 million, BRL466 million are comprised of more expensive
unsecured indebtedness and will be repaid with the BRL300 million
debentures and BRL166 million in existing cash. BRL300 million of
the short term debt are SFH loans linked to construction that will
be extinguished once the keys are delivered, and the remaining
BRL179 million are other unsecured loans that will be repaid with
the company's existing cash balance.
Beside the BRL1.8 billion in existing cash Gafisa has approved and
signed SFH loans that are sufficient to finance the construction
of all of its already launched projects.
The company has a minimum cash policy of maintaining at least 20%
of the total equity value in cash and a maximum leverage policy of
net debt to equity up to 60%. Both policies are written policies
approved by the board of directors.
While the proposed unsecured debentures will be structurally
subordinated to Gafisa's existing secured debt, they are rated at
the same level as Gafisa's CFR given the high amount of
unencumbered assets that in case of a default that should provide
good recovery for the unsecured instruments. As of June 30, 2010,
and pro-forma for the new transaction, 47% of Gafisa's outstanding
debt are secured by assets, mainly receivables from construction
projects being developed with any collateral deficiency becoming
an unsecured claim on the remaining assets of the company but
senior to the proposed debenture issuance.
A meaningful change in the proportion of secured versus unsecured
debt or a decrease in the amount of unencumbered assets that could
be used to pay down the unsecured debentures could result in a
downgrade of Gafisa's unsecured ratings.
Although unlikely in the near term, Gafisa's rating or outlook
could experience upward pressure if the company is able to reduce
its leverage metrics on a sustainable. Upward pressure could also
arise from improved cash-flow based credit metrics, through
reduced working capital requirements over time and higher volume
of projects achieving their delivery date. Mortgage availability
at an earlier point of the construction cycle and use of internal
generated cash for reducing debt, not linked to construction would
also be credit positive. Quantitatively, positive pressure could
arise from sustainable positive CFO ("Cash Flow from Operations")
and FCF ("Free Cash Flow") to total debt above 10%, total debt to
capitalization below 40% (46.9% in the end of June 2010), FFO
("Funds From Operations") to total debt above 25% (19.8% for the
last twelve months ended in June 2010) and interest coverage (EBIT
to Interest expense) above 4.5 times (2.2 times for the last
twelve months ended in June 2010) on a sustainable basis.
Gafisa's ratings would likely be downgraded if Total Debt to
Capitalization increased above 50% (46.9% in the end of June 2010)
on a sustainable basis or if the company were to face a
significant deterioration in its liquidity profile due to a
reduction in the availability and timeliness of disbursements from
SFH credit lines that the company has available with commercial
banks, due to a change in government's support towards the lower
income construction segment, or due to excessive dividend payout
that could instead be used in the down payment of debt unrelated
to construction. Quantitatively, negative pressure could arise if
the company diverged from the written minimum cash policy
mentioned earlier.
Gafisa's Ba2 local currency corporate family rating reflects its
global default and loss expectation, while the A1.br national
scale rating reflects the standing of its credit quality relative
to other domestic issuers. Moody's National Scale Ratings are
intended as relative measures of creditworthiness among debt
issues and issuers within a country, enabling market participants
to better differentiate relative risks. NSRs in Brazil are
designated by the ".br" suffix. Issuers or issues rated A1.br
demonstrate above-average creditworthiness relative to other
domestic issuers. NSRs differ from global scale ratings in that
they are not globally comparable to the full universe of Moody's
rated entities, but only with other rated entities within the same
country.
Moody's last rating action for Gafisa occurred on December 10th,
2009, at which time Moody's assigned a Ba1/Aa2.br rating to
Gafisa's BRL600 million secured debentures.
Headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil and founded in 1954, Gafisa is
one of the largest fully integrated homebuilders in Brazil, and
also one of the most diversified in terms of product offering to
different income levels and geographic regions, operating in 21
different states with 195 projects under development.

RBTT BANK: Move to Implement Restructuring Plan Angers Union
------------------------------------------------------------
RBTT Bank's move to implement aspects of its planned restructuring
without completing consultations with the union representing
employees has not gone down well, RadioJamaica reports.
According to the report, Kavan Gayle, president general of
Bustamante Industrial Trade Union said that the bank's management
presented its plan during a meeting a month ago. However, the
report relates, he said that the union requested more information
which has not yet been provided.
Mr. Gayle, the report notes, wrote to the management of RBTT
demanding that the bank withdraw its planned intention to roll out
the new structure. He also requested a meeting to further discuss
the latest issue, the report says. "We have advised the bank that
the staff is restive about the matter because of the level of
uncertainty that exists. This is an issue that we have
continuously raised with the bank ... this is a problem that we
don't have with any other bank that we represent its employees and
this is an issue that the BITU does not condone," the report
quoted Mr. Gayle as saying.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
August 2, 2010, RadioJamiaca said that more than 30 employees of
RBTT bank could lose their jobs following the closure of three of
the bank's branches. The report related that RBTT bank disclosed
that following a strategic review of its operations it has decided
to close it branches at Fairview in Montego Bay, St. James, Port
Antonio in Portland and Southfield in St. Elizabeth.

MEXICANA AIRLINES: Conciliator, Administrator Appointed
-------------------------------------------------------
Mexico's Federal Institute of Business Reorganization Specialists
appointed Jose Gerardo Badin Cherit as conciliator in the
insolvency proceeding of Compania Mexicana de Aviacion, S.A. de
C.V.
FIBRS, a branch of the Mexican federal judiciary, appointed Mr.
Badin Cherit following an order from the Mexican Court, which
approved the airline's petition and moving its case into the
"conciliation" or reorganization phase.
Mr. Badin Cherit has already accepted his appointment as
conciliator, according to court papers filed by Francisco Javier
Christlieb Morales, who was recently appointed as the airline's
administrator by the Mexican Ministry of Transport and
Communications.
As administrator, Mr. Morales is tasked to work with the
conciliator to effect the restructuring of Mexicana Airlines as
the company operates under a "concession title" from the
transportation ministry.
Both the administrator and the conciliator have affirmed the
appointment of Maru Johansen as Mexicana Airlines' foreign
representative in the Chapter 15 case the airline filed before
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
They have also agreed that Ms. Johansen will continue serving as
the airline's foreign representative.
According to Mexicana Airlines, the objective of the Concurso
Mercantil -- as insolvency proceedings are referred to in Mexican
law -- is to restructure costs and secure financial viability.
The decision marked the beginning of the conciliation phase and,
pursuant to the procedures stipulated by law and at the proposal
of the Department of Communications and Transportation, the judge
approved the appointment of Mr. Javier Christlieb Morales as
administrator of Mexicana Airlines. Mr. Christlieb Morales
assumed his duties on September 8.
Mexicana also said that at the behest of the Department of
Communications and Transportation, in its capacity as the granting
authority, Mr. Gerardo Badin Cherit's appointment as arbitrator
was approved by the judge. Mr. Badin Cherit will be responsible
for facilitating restructuring agreements between the company and
its creditors.
About Mexicana Airlines
Compania Mexicana de Aviacion or Mexicana Airlines --
http://www.mexicana.com/-- is a privately held airline and a
subsidiary of Nuevo Grupo Aeronautico. Founded in 1921, Mexicana
is the oldest commercial carrier in North America. Charles
Lindbergh piloted the first trip for Mexicana between Brownsville,
Texas, and Mexico City.
Grupo Mexicana de Aviacion is the parent of Compania Mexicana. Two
other units are Aerovias Caribe S.A. de C.V. (Mexicana Click) and
Mexicana Inter S.A. de C.V. (Mexicana Link).
Compania Mexicana de Aviacion or Mexicana Airlines, Mexico's
largest airline, filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. and Mexico on
August 2, 2010. In the U.S., the company filed in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan for Chapter 15 bankruptcy protection
(case no. 10-14182), and in Mexico, it filed for the equivalent of
Chapter 11.
Maru E. Johansen, foreign representative of Compania Mexicana,
estimated in the Chapter 15 petition that the company has assets
of US$500 million to US$1 billion and debts of more than
US$1 billion. William C. Heuer, Esq., at Duane Morris LLP, serves
as counsel to Ms. Johansen.
Mexicana de Aviacion stated that despite its bankruptcy filing, it
expects to continue to operate normally, and that such filings
Bankruptcy Creditors' Service, Inc., publishes Mexicana Airlines
Bankruptcy News. The newsletter tracks the chapter 11 proceedings
and the ancillary proceedings undertaken by Compania Mexicana de
Aviacion and its units. (http://bankrupt.com/newsstand/or

MEXICANA AIRLINES: Sept. 29 U.S. Court Hearing on Recognition Plea
------------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
will hold a hearing on September 29, 2010, to consider the motion
for recognition of Mexicana Airlines' insolvency case as a foreign
main proceeding.
The Bankruptcy Court will also hold a telephone status and
scheduling conference on September 27, 2010, to discuss matters
to be addressed at the hearing. Anyone who wants to participate
in the conference may contact the Bankruptcy Court to make
arrangements.
The hearing was supposed to take place September 8, 2010, but
Mexicana Airlines asked for an adjournment in light of the
appointment of the conciliator and administrator in its
insolvency case in Mexico.
Mexicana Wants Banco Mercantile Objection Overruled
Mexicana Airlines asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to overrule the
objection of Banco Mercantil del Norte S.A., saying the
conditions which the bank asked the Bankruptcy Court to impose
before granting recognition is "outrageous" and "unsupportable."
Banco Mercantil, a secured lender of Mexicana Airlines, earlier
complained of a ruling handed down by the Mexican court enjoining
the bank from taking any action involving the funds held as
collateral in two deposit accounts. It argued that the ruling
contradicts the August 18 order issued by the Bankruptcy Court,
which excluded the bank from the scope of injunctive protections
granted to Mexicana Airlines.
The funds serve as collateral for the US$123.6 million that
Mexicana Airlines owes to Banco Mercantil under a 2008 credit
agreement.
Although Banco Mercantile did not question the basis for granting
recognition, one of the bank's conditions would require the
Bankruptcy Court to sit in judgment of the Mexico Court and of
the procedures permitted under the Concurso law, according to
William Heuer, Esq., at Duane Morris LLP, in New York.
"In sum and substance, [Banco Mercantile] has asked this
Bankruptcy Court to partially overrule or render moot an order
entered by the Mexico Court providing Mexicana injunctive
relief," Mr. Heuer says. He points out that the bank made the
request despite the fact that the airline is not asking the
Bankruptcy Court to enforce an order of the Mexico Court.
"[Banco Mercantile's request has no basis in public policy and
is, in and of itself, contrary to any meaningful concept of
public policy," Mr. Heuer explains.
Mr. Heuer says Banco Mercantile also wants the Bankruptcy Court
to grant it "adequate protection" but the bank failed to address
basic principles of bankruptcy law concerning claims of and
protections provided to secured creditors.
According to Mr. Heuer, the stay that was imposed on Banco
Mercantile by the Mexico Court in the insolvency proceeding
stemmed from a number of actions taken by the bank against the
airline and its assets, many of which relate to funds that were
on deposit in trust accounts in Mexico. He points out that those
assets are beyond the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and
that asking the Bankruptcy Court to compel the airline to provide
adequate protection to the bank will undermine the jurisdiction
and authority of the Mexico Court.
According to Mr. Heuer, Banco Mercantile is also not entitled to
adequate protection this early because U.S. judicial power does
not prevent the bank from seizing its collateral. He also
criticized the bank's assertion that the Mexican law and the
procedure employed by the Mexican court are so repugnant as to
violate public policy in the U.S.
Banco Mercantile Responds
Banco Mercantile's lawyer, Paul Hessler, Esq., at Linklaters LLP,
in New York, clarifies that the bank is not seeking "true
injunctions" against Mexicana Airlines or any action against the
Mexican Court.
"[Banco Mercantile] simply asks that the Court condition any
relief it may grant on [Mexicana Airlines] respecting certain
fundamental public policies of the United States," Mr. Hessler
says in court papers.
Mr. Hessler says the Bankruptcy Court has the "inherent power" to
condition the granting of Chapter 15 relief on the airline's
agreement not to pursue inconsistent rulings in its insolvency
case in light of the public policy requiring the protection of
secured creditors and the airline's decision to seek assistance
from the Bankruptcy Court.
"The Court has the power to deny recognition to [Mexicana
Airlines] and necessarily has the ability to take the lesser step
of conditioning the granting of such relief on [Mexicana
Airlines] taking or refraining from taking certain actions," Mr.
Hessler says.
According to Mr. Hessler, if the Bankruptcy Court granted the
bank's request, Mexicana Airlines would simply be unable to seek
the protections of Chapter 15 recognition in the U.S. while
simultaneously depriving the bank of its rights on the U.S.
properties as a secured creditor. He points out that the
airline, however, would remain free to seek whatever relief it
chooses with respect to its property and insolvency case in
Mexico.
Federico Santos Cernuda, a legal director of Banco Mercantil, and
Jorge Sepulveda, Esq., a partner at Mexico-based Bufete Garcia
Jimeno S.C., filed statements with the Bankruptcy Court in
support of the bank's objection.
Mr. Cernuda says Banco Mercantil relies on the cash held in the
bank accounts to offset or mitigate any potential damages to the
bank and that it is not willing to risk its collateral without
some form of protection for that collateral.
For his part, Mr. Sepulveda says that even if Banco Mercantil
were entitled to be treated as a "creditor with collateral," the
superior priority of statutorily required labor credits would
likely materially reduce the bank's recovery on its collateral in
the insolvency case if it prohibited use of those funds. He
points out that those labor credits are decided by special
administrative courts and not bound by the insolvency case.

MEXICANA AIRLINES: Misses Sept. 15 Payments to Airports
-------------------------------------------------------
Mexicana Airlines drew criticism anew from a consortium of
airports and airport authorities after it allegedly failed to pay
its debt due September 15, 2010, as agreed at the status
conference held early this month.
The airport group's attorney, Selinda Melnik, Esq., at Edwards
Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP, in New York, says Mexicana Airlines
has failed to provide any of the protections required other than
payment of passenger facility charges and the initial funding of
the PFC reserve account which the airline failed to replenish in
violation of Federal law.
Mexicana Airlines reportedly does not have available funds to pay
its debt. Its attorneys have already informed the group that the
airline would coordinate with the airport authorities for the
turnover of space it uses at the airports next month if it failed
to pay its debt by September 30, 2010.
The objection drew support from The Greater Orlando Aviation
Authority and The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

***********
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
