CAMARGO CORREA: S&P Affirms 'BB' Long-Term Corporate Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it affirmed its 'BB'
long-term corporate credit rating on Camargo Correa S.A. and on
CCSA's cement company, Camargo Correa Cimentos S.A.
At the same time, S&P lowered its Brazilian national scale ratings
on CCC to 'brAA-' from 'brAA'.
S&P removed all the ratings from CreditWatch, where they were
initially placed with negative implications on Feb. 11, 2010. The
outlook is negative.
The affirmation followed the improvement in Camargo's business
portfolio, especially considering its acquisition of a 32.7% stake
in Cimpor Cimentos de Portugal S.G.P.S. S.A. (BBB-/Stable/A-3) and
the remaining stake in VBC Energ?a S.A. (not rated), which in turn
has a 25.6% controlling interest in CPFL Energia S.A.
(brAA+/Stable/--).
"S&P see this improvement in the business profile as partially
offsetting the significant increase in leverage, which S&P expects
to remain high in the near term," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Marcelo Schwarz.
S&P assume that the company will use the proceeds from the sale of
its 11.36% participation in Itausa - Investimentos Itau S.A. (the
holding company for Banco Itau Unibanco S.A.) to reduce debt.
CCSA is the Camargo Correa group's main holding company, with
investments in a wide range of businesses, including cement,
textile, footwear, home and heavy construction, and road and power
concessions. The ratings on CCC reflect its being a core
subsidiary of Camargo and its financial profile mirroring that of
its parent, as the group's consolidated financial planning
determines its cash management and financial profile.
The negative outlook reflects CCSA's refinancing risks after debt
at the holding-company level increased significantly with the
Cimpor and VBC acquisitions, and this increase, to be met, will
require strong dividends from its investments.
FURNAS CENTRAIS: Moody's Withdraws 'Ba1' Issuer Rating
------------------------------------------------------
Moody's America Latina Ltda has withdrawn Furnas' Ba1 and Aa1.br
issuer ratings for its own business reasons.
Moody's last rating action on Furnas Centrais Eletricas S.A. was
on December 14, 2006 when Moody's assigned a BR-1 national scale
rating to Furnas' 6-month BRL130 million commercial paper. At the
same time, Moody's affirmed Furnas' Ba1 global local currency and
Aa1.br national scale senior unsecured issuer ratings.
These ratings were withdrawn:
-- Issuer Ratings: Ba1/Aa1.br
Ratings Rationale
Moody's America Latina Ltda has withdrawn the credit rating for
its own business reasons.
Furnas is one of Brazil's largest electricity generation and
transmission utility companies. Furnas is closely-held, with
99.5% of its shares owned by Centrais Eletricas Brasileiras S.A. -
Eletrobras (unrated), the Brazilian Federal Government's holding
company that controls about 38% of the country's installed power
generation capacity and approximately 56% of the country's
transmission network. Furnas operates 12 hydro-power plants
representing some 91% of its total installed capacity of 10,050MW
with 2 thermal power plants accounting for the remaining 9%. The
company also owns about 19,278 kilometers of transmission lines,
mainly in the southeast and mid-west regions of Brazil.
Moody's adopts all necessary measures so that the information it
uses in assigning a credit rating is of sufficient quality and
from sources Moody's considers to be reliable including, when
appropriate, independent third-party sources. However, Moody's is
not an auditor and cannot in every instance independently verify
or validate information received in the rating process.

CORPORACION GEO: S&P Gives Stable Outlook; Affirms 'BB-' Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it revised its
outlook on Mexico-based homebuilder Corporacion GEO S.A.B. de C.V.
to stable from negative, while affirming the ratings, including
the 'BB-' global scale and 'mxBBB+/mxA-2' national scale long-term
corporate credit ratings, on the company.
"S&P's ratings on Geo are limited by the company's aggressive
financial risk profile, given its high working capital needs to
sustain its growth targets, which demand increased external
financing," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Laura Mart?nez.
The ratings also reflect the concentration of mortgage origination
in Infonavit and Fovissste, and the degree of political risk
inherent to these institutions.
Geo's position as one of the leading homebuilders in Mexico,
geographic diversification and scale, and diverse product line are
positive rating factors. S&P assess Geo's business risk profile
as fair.
Geo is the second-largest homebuilder in Mexico, with more than
54,000 units built in 57 cities and 19 states in the 12 months
ended Sept. 30, 2010. The company has focused its strategy on the
affordable segments, representing about 77% of revenues as of
third-quarter 2010. S&P expects that Geo will maintain this
revenue mix in the near term.
The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that Geo will be
able to maintain stable leverage while maintaining its cash
position.
GRUPO IUSACELL: Gets Go Signal to Start Bankruptcy Proceedings
--------------------------------------------------------------
Giselle Rodriguez at Bloomberg News notes that Grupo Iusacell
Celular obtained court approval to enter bankruptcy proceedings
and a similar plan is being studied for Grupo Iusacell, according
to Reforma, which cited Salvador Rocha Diaz, Grupo Iusacell's
lawyer.
According to Bloomberg, the newspaper said District Judge Fernando
Rangel asked the Federal Institute of Bankruptcy Proceedings to
designate a mediator.
Bloomberg discloses the newspaper reported that Mr. Rocha said
that most of the company's creditors have accepted the plan and
that the company expects to complete the proceedings by January or
February next year.
Grupo Iusacell SA is the Mexican mobile-phone carrier owned by
billionaire Ricardo Salinas.

***********
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
