FIDEICOMISO FINANCIERO: Moody's Rates Various Debt Securities
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Latin America has rated the debt securities and
certificates of Fideicomiso Financiero Pvcred Serie V issued by
Equity Trust Company (Argentina) S.A., acting solely in its
capacity as issuer and trustee.
- ARS16,071,506 in Class A Fixed Rate Debt Securities of
"Fideicomiso Financiero Pvcred Serie V", rated Aaa.ar (sf)
(Argentine National Scale) and Ba2 (sf) (Global Scale, Local
Currency)
- ARS40,178,766 in Class A Floating Rate Debt Securities of
"Fideicomiso Financiero Pvcred Serie V", rated Aaa.ar (sf)
(Argentine National Scale) and Ba2 (sf) (Global Scale, Local
Currency)
- ARS9,375,045 in Class B Debt Securities of "Fideicomiso
Financiero Pvcred Serie V", rated Ba2.ar (sf) (Argentine
National Scale) and Caa1 (sf) (Global Scale, Local Currency)
- ARS1,339,293 in Certificates of "Fideicomiso Financiero Pvcred
Serie V", rated Ca.ar (sf) (Argentine National Scale) and Ca
(sf) (Global Scale, Local Currency).
Ratings Rationale
The rated securities are payable from the cashflow coming from the
assets of the trust, which is an amortizing pool of approximately
10,197 eligible personal loans denominated in Argentine pesos,
bearing fixed interest rate, originated by Pvcred, a financial
company owned by Comafi's Group in Argentina.
These personal loans were originated through Pvcred branches
(using the trade mark "Provencred") and were granted to pensioners
and low/middle income employees.
The Class A Fixed Rate Debt Securities will bear a fixed interest
rate of 11%. The Class A Floating Rate Debt Securities will bear
a BADLAR interest rate plus 291 basis points. The Floating Rate
Debt Securities' interest rate will never be higher than 20% or
lower than 13%. The Class B Fixed Rate Securities will bear a
fixed interest rate of 21%.
Overall credit enhancement is comprised of subordination, various
reserve funds and excess spread.
The transaction has initial subordination levels of 76% and 16%
for the VRDA TF and the VRDA TV respectively. The subordination
levels will increase overtime due to the turbo sequential payment
structure.
The transaction also benefits from an estimated 40% annual excess
spread, before considering losses or prepayments and calculated at
the cap of 20% for Class A floating rate securities.
Moody's considered the credit enhancement provided in this
transaction through the initial subordination levels for each
rated class, as well as the historical performance of Pvcred
portfolio. In addition, Moody's considered factors common to
consumer loans securitizations such as delinquencies, prepayments
and losses; as well as specific factors related to the Argentine
market, such as the probability of an increase in losses if there
are changes in the macroeconomic scenario in Argentina.
These factors were incorporated in a cash flow model that takes
into account all the relevant features of the transaction's assets
and liabilities. Monte Carlo simulations were run, which
determines the expected loss for the rated securities.
Moody's analyzed the historical performance data of previous
transactions and similar receivables originated by Pvcred, ranging
from January 2007 to September 2010. In assigning the rating to
this transaction, Moody's assumed a triangular distribution for
losses centered around the most likely scenario of 20%, with a
minimum of 10% and a maximum of 30%. Also, Moody's assumed a
triangular distribution for prepayments centered around a most
likely scenario of 40%, with a minimum of 30% and a maximum of
50%.
The model results showed 0.00% expected loss for Class A Fixed
Rate Debt Securities and Floating Rate Debt Securities, 13.01%
expected loss for Class B Fixed Rate Debt Securities and 57.34%
for the Certificates.
Moody's ran several stress scenarios, including increases in the
default rate assumptions. If default rates were increased 10%
from the base case scenario for the pool (i.e., most likely
scenario of 30%, a minimum of 20% and a maximum of 40%), the
ratings of the Class A Fixed Rate would be unchanged. The ratings
of the Class A Floating Rate, the Class B and the Certificates
would be likely downgraded to Ba3 (sf), Ca (sf) and to C (sf),
respectively.
Finally, Moody's also evaluated the back-up servicing arrangements
in the transaction. If Pvcred is removed as collection agent,
Banco Comafi (Ba3/Aa2.ar) will be appointed as the back-up
collection agent.
The main source of uncertainty for this transaction is the default
level of the securitized pool. Although Moody's analyzed the
historical performance data of previous transactions and similar
receivables originated by Pvcred, the actual performance of the
securitized pool may be affected, among others, by the economic
activity and the unemployment rate in Argentina.

BANCO SOCIETE: Fitch Affirms Individual Rating at 'C/D'
-------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings affirmed the ratings of Banco Societe Generale
Brasil S.A.:
-- Foreign Currency Long-term IDR (Issuer Default Rating) at
'BBB', Positive Outlook;
-- Local Currency Long-term IDR at 'BBB+', Positive Outlook;
-- Foreign and Local Currency Short-term IDRs at 'F2';
-- Individual Rating at 'C/D';
-- Support Rating at '2';
-- National Long-term Rating at 'AAA(bra)', Stable Outlook;
-- National Short-term Rating at 'F1+(bra)'.
The Foreign Currency and Local Currency IDRs of SGBR and its
National Ratings reflect the support from its parent, Societe
Generale S.A. (IDR 'A+'; Stable Outlook by Fitch). The Individual
Rating considers SGBR's satisfactory asset-quality track record
although challenged by the recent acquisition of two smaller banks
focused on consumer lending, SG operational support and the
increased diversification on its business model. However, it also
takes into account the bank's modest size, the high proportion of
intangible assets that undermine its capital structure and the
challenges derived from the successful integration and overhaul of
its recent acquisitions.
The Positive Outlook on its IDRs, related to the current Positive
Outlook on Brazil's sovereign rating, reflects the financial
strength of SGBR's shareholder. The Support ratings of '2' on
SGBR reflect Fitch's belief that its parent has both the capacity
and willingness to support the bank should it be required.
Changes in SG capacity or propensity to support SGBR would
directly affect SGBR's ratings, possibly in more than one notch.
The Individual Rating would benefit from the improvement of the
bank's asset quality ratios and thus lower pressures on its
operating performance, while the enhancement of its capital base
will be also beneficial. Negative pressures on its Individual
Rating would account for a longer than expected recovery in its
asset quality ratios or further deterioration on its profitability
that ultimately affects its capital base.
In 2007, SGBR acquired a participation in Banco Pecunia S.A.
(Pecunia; Long-Term National Rating 'AAA(bra)'; Stable Outlook)
and Banco Cacique S.A. (Long-Term National Rating 'AAA(bra)';
Stable Outlook), two retail banks specialized in vehicle financing
and payroll discounted loans, respectively. This consistently
increased its loan portfolio (from BRL564 million in 2006 to
BRL2,1 billion in 2007) and added BRL638 million of goodwill to
its consolidated balance sheet, also generating large amortization
expenses that partially explain SGBR's losses in past years. The
expansion into retail business through these two entities has
resulted in significant loan loss provisions that have pressured
the profitability of the bank, although those pressures have and
will steadily decrease thanks to SGBR adequate management and
advanced risk control tools. Since February 2010, SGBR holds full
control over Pecunia after the acquisition of 30% of its shares.
Pecunia is part of a strategy to increase consumer finance
globally.
With an historically good asset quality track record, proper of
its previous business focus (corporate lending and project
finance), SGBR naturally began to report an increase in the
impaired loan categories after the acquisitions of Cacique and
Pecunia (banks focused on the more profitable albeit riskier
consumer market), but with adequate coverage, a situation common
to other participants in that market in Brazil and in part
consequence of the economic downturn of late 2008 and 2009. An
expected more benign operating environment, and the benefits of a
significant clean up of the acquired loan portfolio and the use of
SG advanced credit risk tools, bode well for the medium- and long-
term performance of the bank, being that it is expected a recovery
on its asset quality ratios and overall earning generations needed
both to cover the hefty amortization charges of its goodwill and
ultimately to enhance its capital base.
SGBR's funding comes mainly from head office lines at competitive
prices. Pecunia and Cacique funding needs are managed by SGBR,
also benefiting from parent funding capabilities. This policy
gave the Brazilian subsidiaries ample liquidity during the 2008
crisis. Consolidated net worth has been declining since 2007,
given recent net losses, while Fitch Eligible Capital is strongly
affected by aforementioned goodwill; although the current capital
levels compares adequately with other similar rated banks and are
backed up by the possible support from its shareholder should it
be required.
SGBR has operated in Brazil in the wholesale market since 1967.
It entered retail lending through the acquisitions of Cacique and
Pecunia in 2007.

JPSCO: Profit Falls 27% to JM$1.2BB for Oct.-Dec. 2010 Quarter
--------------------------------------------------------------
RadioJamaica reports that the Jamaica Public Service Company
(JPSCO) said its profits fell 27% in the three months, October to
December, last year, as higher costs offset an increase in
revenues.
Profits at the company dropped to US$14 million or about JM$1.2
billion over the quarter, according to RadioJamaica. The report
relates that by comparison, the company's profits amounted to
almost JM$20 million in the similar period, a year earlier.
At the same time, RadioJamaica notes, the company reported that
its revenues rose 4% to US$241 million.
RadioJamaica notes that the US$14 million earned in the last three
months of 2010 brought profits at the JPSCO to just over US$40
million or just about JM$3.4 billion during 2010.
The earnings for all of 2010 were down 4% from the levels in 2009,
the report adds.

* * *
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
have 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 million to JM$600 million in
retroactive, overtime and redundancy payments.
WINDALCO: Ewarton Works Protest Over Scale
------------------------------------------
RadioJamaica reports that more than 100 truckers contracted to
West Indies Alumina Company's (WINDALCO's) Ewarton Works plant in
St. Catherine walked off the job to protest against the absence of
a scale. The report relates that the haulage contractors are
employed to LC Bennett Company, which draws bauxite from the
Schwallenburg mines to the plant.
Vincent Morrison, President of the National Workers Union said
that the truckers have been complaining for more than seven months
that the absence of the scale has caused them to lose up to 25
tons of haulage weight, according to RadioJamaica.
Mr. Morrison, RadioJamaica notes, said the union will be meeting
with the company in a bid to settle the dispute.
"They have indicated that all their efforts to get the company to
put in a proper scale to weigh the bauxite that they draw have
failed and as such, they stopped working this morning,"
RadioJamaica quotes Mr. Morrison as saying.
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.

MEXICANA AIRLINES: PC Capital to Acquire Firm
---------------------------------------------
Jens Erik Gould at Bloomberg News reports that PC Capital SAPI, a
Mexican private-equity firm, said it reached an agreement to
acquire the holding company of Compania Mexicana de Aviacion or
Mexicana Airlines, bringing the bankrupt airline closer to a
return to the skies.
Investor group Tenedora K, which bought holding company Nuevo
Grupo Aeronautico in August, will transfer its shares to PC
Capital before a notary public Feb. 21, PC Capital said in an e-
mailed statement obtained by Bloomberg. The report relates that
Nuevo Grupo Aeronautico owns Mexicana, its Click and Link
subsidiaries and maintenance provider MRO Services.
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 did
not affect the operations of Click Mexicana and Mexicana Link,
which are independent companies from Mexicana de Aviacion.
* Moody's Says Debt Levels Support State of Tabasco's Ba1 Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
In its most recent report on the State of Tabasco, Moody's
Investors Service says that the Mexican State's issuer ratings of
A1.mx (Mexico National Scale) and Ba1 (Global Scale, local
currency) reflect moderate debt levels and the positive impact of
recent cost saving measures, which are expected to redress and
maintain balanced fiscal outcomes in the near-term, offset by a
negative liquidity position and sizable unfunded pension
liabilities.
While Tabasco's own-source revenues are lower than the median for
Ba rated Mexican states, the state has implemented measures
expected to increase significantly tax revenue collection in the
medium term, including increases in the payroll tax rate and
inclusion of municipal administrations in the tax collection base,
which were previously exempt of this tax. Additionally, the state
decided to substitute the federal vehicle registry tax with a
state tax starting in 2011.
At the end of 2009 Tabasco's net direct and indirect debt was
equivalent to 9.0% of total revenues and Moody's expect this
indicator to have eased modestly in 2010. At the end of 2010,
Tabasco's primary senior secured debt obligations, backed by
pledges of federal participation transfers, were:
* MXN1.5 billion outstanding balance on an enhanced loan from
Banorte (original face value of MXN 3 billion)
* MXN315 million outstanding balance on an enhanced loan from
Santander (original face value of MXN 449 million)

***********
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
