GLOBAL CROSSING: Moody's Assigns 'Caa2' Rating to Senior Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Caa2 rating to Global
Crossing Limited's new $150 million 8-year senior unsecured notes
due 2019. Since the new notes effectively replace $144 million of
convertible notes due in early 2011, the transaction is neutral to
Global Crossing's credit profile. Accordingly, the company's B3
corporate family and probability of default ratings were affirmed.
Further, since the new notes replace the loss absorption capacity
ranking behind the company's $750 million of senior secured notes
(currently provided by the convertible notes), the senior secured
notes' B2 ratings were also affirmed. As well, since the
transaction allows the company's substantial cash position to be
maintained, the existing SGL-2 speculative grade liquidity rating
(indicating good liquidity arrangements) was also affirmed.
Ratings Rationale
Moody's rates another entity in the Global Crossing family, Global
Crossing (UK) Finance plc (GCUK; B3 Stable). The transactions
have no ratings impact on GCUK.
Global Crossing's B3 ratings are influenced primarily by the
company's participation in a highly competitive telecommunications
arena, its relatively poor EBITDA margins, limited free cash
generating capacity, and significant debt load.
The combination implies relatively weak interest coverage and debt
repayment capacity. The rating also accounts for the company's
unique network footprint and solid internet protocol (IP) product
offering together with the expectation that demand for IP-based
broadband capacity will continue to grow and cause the company's
cash flow stream to expand. However, while Moody's expect the
cash flow stream to expand, Moody's also expect that various
growth initiatives -- organic and inorganic -- will likely limit
free cash generation and debt repayment capacity. The rating also
anticipates that the company will continue to maintain good
liquidity via a large cash balance to assure its ability to
weather short term shocks and minimize refinance risk. In this
regard, Moody's view the new senior unsecured notes issue as
maintaining the company's cash pool and resulting financial
flexibility. While the cash may be used to ultimately initiate
the refinance of GCUK's debt at the Global Crossing level --
something Moody's would view as a positive action -- there is also
the potential of the cash being used to fund acquisitions or
returns to shareholders. With the company having only a tentative
ability to be free cash flow positive, Moody's would view a return
of capital as adversely affecting Moody's ratings assessment. And
since Global Crossing has limited experience making material
acquisitions and telecommunications acquisitions are notoriously
difficult to successfully integrate, Moody's would take a very
cautious perspective on material acquisition activity.
This summarizes Global Crossing's ratings and the rating actions:
Assignments:
Issuer: Global Crossing Limited
-- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Assigned Caa2 (LGD5,
84%)
Other Rating/Outlook Actions:
-- Corporarte Family Rating, Affirmed at B3
-- Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed at B3
-- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Affirmed at SGL-2
-- Senior Secured Regular Bond/Debenture, Affirmed at B2 with
the loss given default assessment revised to (LGD3, 33%) from
(LGD3, 35%)
-- Outlook, Unchanged at Stable
Moody's most recent rating action for GCL was December 16, 2009,
when, among other things, the company's CFR and PDR were upgraded
to B3 from Caa1.
Rating Outlook
Upwards rating migration is likely to be most influenced by margin
expansion that, in turn, could fuel free cash flow, while
downwards ratings migration would most likely result from adverse
liquidity developments. Since Moody's do not expect either of
these parameters to change significantly over the ratings horizon,
the ratings outlook is stable.
What Could Change the Rating -- Up
Together with favorable macroeconomic conditions, stable or
positive developments at GCUK and GC Impsat, and with the support
of good liquidity arrangements, positive ratings pressure could
develop with margin expansion and continued cash flow self-
sustainability progress. This would be reflected in FCF/TD
migrating towards 5% and (EBITDA-CapEx)/IntExp migrating towards
1.5x (in both cases, on a sustained basis measured with Moody's
standard adjustments).
What Could Change the Rating -- Down
Conversely, should the company's progress falter, or should
liquidity be eroded or should potential support/value from
subsidiary operations deteriorate, the ratings could come under
downwards pressure. Failure to demonstrate cash flow self-
sustainability with FCF/TD > 0% and (EBITDA-CapEx)/IntExp > 1.0x
would be quantitative evidence of this (in both cases, on a
sustained basis measured with Moody's standard adjustments).
Headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda and with administrative offices
in Florham Park, New Jersey, Global Crossing Limited offers
Internet Protocol and legacy telecommunications services in most
major business centers in the world.

MEXICANA AIRLINE: PC Capital Is Best Hope for Resuscitation
-----------------------------------------------------------
PC Capital is the best bet to refloat Compania Mexicana de
Aviacion or Mexicana Airlines, once a top national air carrier and
now in bankruptcy protection, Agence France Presse reports, citing
the airline.
"The restructuring deal that gives the greatest viability,
stability and sustainability in the long, medium and short terms
is PC Capital's," the report quoted Mexicana Administrator Javier
Christlieb and government mediator Gerardo Badin in a statement.
PC Capital, an investment firm, did not immediately respond to
AFP's request for details on the deal.
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 AIRLINE: American Air Picks Up Former Flights
------------------------------------------------------
The Log reports that American Airlines has taken over most of the
flights that Compania Mexicana de Aviacion or Mexicana Airlines
dropped last month.
According to the report, American flies out of Los Angeles
International Airport -- and eight other West Coast cities, plus
four airports in Arizona.

MEXICANA AIRLINES: Not Returning to Fresno
------------------------------------------
KFSN reports that Compania Mexicana de Aviacion or Mexicana
Airlines will not be coming back to Fresno after all.
According to the report, Fresno Yosemite International Airport
officials confirmed that the bankrupt carrier does not intend to
make Fresno one of its stops.
Mexicana Airline, the report notes, earlier this week said that
it's working on a financial plan that would reinstate 30 flights.
The report relates that's about a quarter of its prior fleet.
Even though Mexicana won't be returning, airport officials are
still actively working on bringing in other Mexican carriers, the
report adds.

***********
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
