LIAT: LIALPA Apologizes for Flight Delays
-----------------------------------------
Sasha Harrinanan at Trinidad and Tobago Newsday reports that the
Leeward Islands Pilots Association (LIALPA) has apologized to
Leeward Islands Air Transport, known as LIAT, passengers for the
cancellation of most flights on Tuesday, November 5 but said it,
"had no other choice", but to hold an emergency meeting that day,
"due to the serious nature of the impulsive and reckless actions
of management."
The emergency meeting was called after Liat's "surprise" decision
to suspend LIALPA president, Carl Burke, while he was acting as a
union representative on behalf of another pilot who was on
suspension, according to Trinidad and Tobago Newsday.
The report notes that LIALPA said the resulting flight
cancellations occurred because its constitution "required a
specific percentage of pilots at a specific base to be in
attendance."
"Due to numerous crew being out on overnights and others away on
training in the United States and France, it was necessary to have
all remaining crew in the respective bases attend. The crew was
immediately released for duty at the end of the meeting," LIALPA
said, the report notes.
The report relays that LIALPA also has "legitimate concerns about
LIAT's flight operations" which had been communicated to the
regional airline's management "via several emails and telephone
exchanges."
Although the pilots returned to work after the emergency meeting,
flight disruptions continued because of the back-log of stranded
passengers seeking to reach their final destinations, the report
says.
The report discloses that LIALPA said "good sense prevailed" and
Liat withdrew the suspensions of Burke and the other unnamed,
pilot.
"Management has also guaranteed the pilots a meeting" yesterday
morning (Wednesday November 6) with Liat's Acting Chief Executive
Officer Julie Reifer-Jones, to discuss the chain of events that
led to this impasse," LIALPA said, the report relays. The
association said "the outcome of this meeting will determine the
way forward for both parties," the report discloses.
The Leeward Islands Pilots Association pledged that it is taking a
"reasonable and responsible position" in dealing with matters
which affect the traveling public, the report adds.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Jan. 3, 2012, Antigua Caribarena related that former Antigua
Aviation Minister Robin Yearwood wants to see a merger between
Leeward Islands Air Transport (LIAT) and the Trinidad and Tobago-
owned Caribbean Airlines Limited, as he believes this is the only
way the Antigua-based regional carrier can survive. Mr.
Yearwood's call came against the background of media reports out
of Port of Spain that suggested CAL's management may be eyeing
expansion into the OECS territories, according to Antigua
Caribarena.

BANCO SOLIDARIO: Moody's Rates Bs60M Subordinated Debt Issuance B1
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Latin America has assigned Banco Solidario S.A. (Bolivia)
(Solidario)'s Bs. 60 million subordinated debt issuance a B1
global local currency subordinated debt rating. At the same time,
Moody's assigned a Aa2.bo local currency national scale debt
rating to the bank's subordinated debt issuance.
The outlook on all ratings is stable.
The following ratings were assigned to Banco Solidario S.A.
(Bolivia):
Bs. 60 million subordinated debt issuance:
Global Local Currency Subordinated Debt Rating: B1
Bolivia National Scale Local Currency Subordinated Debt Rating:
Aa2.bo
Ratings Rationale:
Moody's explained that the B1 local currency subordinated debt
rating derives from Solidario's ba3 baseline credit assessment
that maps from its bank financial strength rating of D- and takes
into account the seniority of the notes.
Moody's rating reflects Solidario's ample profit margins, as well
as its good asset quality metrics, adequate liquidity level and
its well established franchise in the microfinance business. On
the other hand, the rating captures its declining capitalization,
which is likely to become a restriction for further loan growth,
and lagging efficiency indicators. Moody's rating also considers
Solidario's shareholders composition, largely international
microfinance investors, which provides access to global
managerial, strategic and risk management expertise.
Banco Solidario is headquartered in La Paz, Bolivia, and it had
assets of Bs. 7.1 billion and equity of Bs. 548 million, as of
September 2013.
Moody's National Scale Ratings (NSRs) are intended as relative
measures of creditworthiness among debt issues and issuers within
a country, enabling market participants to better differentiate
relative risks. NSRs differ from Moody's global scale ratings in
that they are not globally comparable with the full universe of
Moody's rated entities, but only with NSRs for other rated debt
issues and issuers within the same country. NSRs are designated by
a ".nn" country modifier signifying the relevant country, as in
".mx" for Mexico. For further information on Moody's approach to
national scale ratings, please refer to Moody's Rating Methodology
published in October 2012 entitled "Mapping Moody's National Scale
Ratings to Global Scale Ratings".

BANCO INDUSTRIAL: Moody's Affirms 'Ba1' Sr. Unsecured Debt Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed all its ratings for Banco
Industrial and Comercial S.A.'s (BICBANCO) and changed the outlook
to developing, from negative, including the bank financial
strength (BFSR) of D+, which maps to a baseline credit assessment
(BCA) of ba1; its global local- and foreign-currency deposit
ratings of Ba1 and Not Prime, long- and short-term, respectively;
the long-term foreign-currency senior unsecured debt rating of
Ba1; the senior unsecured MTN program (foreign currency) rating of
(P)Ba1; the long-term foreign-currency subordinated debt rating of
Ba2; and the long- and short-term Brazilian national scale deposit
rating of Aa2.br and BR-1, respectively.
This rating action follows the 31 October 2013 announcement that
BICBANCO's controlling shareholders have agreed to sell their 72%
stake to China Construction Bank Corporation (A1 stable; ba1
stable) for BRL1.6 billion in cash. The sale is now subject to
regulatory authorities' approval.
At the same time, Moody's affirmed Banco Industrial e Comercial
S.A., Cayman's long-term foreign currency debt rating of Ba1 and
the senior unsecured MTN program (foreign currency) rating of
(P)Ba1, and changed the outlook to developing from negative.
The following ratings assigned to Banco Industrial and Comercial
S.A. were affirmed, with the outlook changed to developing, from
negative:
Bank financial strength of D+
Long- and short-term global local-currency deposit ratings of Ba1
and Not Prime
Long- and short-term foreign-currency deposit rating of Ba1 and
Not Prime
Long-term foreign-currency senior unsecured debt rating of Ba1
Senior Unsecured MTN Program (foreign currency) rating of (P)Ba1
Long-term foreign-currency subordinated debt rating of Ba2
Long-term Brazilian national scale deposit rating of Aa2.br
Short-term Brazilian national scale deposit rating of BR-1
The following rating of Banco Industrial e Comercial S.A., Cayman
was also affirmed, with outlook placed on developing:
Long-term foreign currency debt rating of Ba1
Senior Unsecured MTN Program (foreign currency) rating of (P)Ba1
Ratings Rationale:
The change in outlook to developing from negative incorporates
Moody's expectation that BICBANCO's purchase by China Construction
Bank will benefit its access to broader funding sources, and will
allow the repositioning of the bank's franchise in the Brazilian
market. In that context, efforts by the management team to
redefine BICBANCO's core activities in order to improve
profitability would be supported by a large foreign shareholder.
At the same time, Moody's highlights the challenges of
shareholding transition because of CCB's very recent track record
in managing international subsidiaries, as well as aspects
regarding management continuity and strategic definitions by the
new shareholder. BICBANCO is the Chinese bank's first
international acquisition and its total assets represent only 0.3%
of CCB's.
Upon conclusion of the acquisition, which is subject to regulatory
approval by the respective Brazilian and Chinese authorities,
China Construction Bank expects to enter into a subsequent tender
offer to purchase minority shareholders' stake.
Moody's also notes that, in applying the joint-default analysis,
BICBANCO's global local currency deposit rating of Ba1 would not
benefit from uplift derived from parental support because CCB's
current standalone baseline credit assessment is ba1.
The last rating action on BICBANCO occurred on 2 August 2013, when
Moody's downgraded all its ratings and assigned a negative
outlook.
The last rating action on Banco Industrial e Comercial S.A.,
Cayman was on 2 August 2013, when Moody's downgraded the long-term
foreign currency debt rating on Banco Industrial e Comercial S.A.,
Cayman's outstanding senior unsecured notes.
Moody's National Scale Ratings (NSRs) are intended as relative
measures of creditworthiness among debt issues and issuers within
a country, enabling market participants to better differentiate
relative risks. NSRs differ from Moody's global scale ratings in
that they are not globally comparable with the full universe of
Moody's rated entities, but only with NSRs for other rated debt
issues and issuers within the same country. NSRs are designated by
a ".nn" country modifier signifying the relevant country, as in
".mx" for Mexico.
BICBANCO is headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and had total
consolidated assets of R$16.8 billion (US$7.6 billion) and
shareholders' equity of R$1.9 billion (US$867 million), as of 30
June 2013.
BIC ARRENDAMENTO: Moody's Affirms Currency Issuer Rating at Ba1
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's America Latina has affirmed all its ratings for BIC -
Arrendamento Mercantil S.A.'s and changed the outlook to
developing from negative, including the long-term global local-
currency issuer rating of Ba1; the long-term Brazilian national
scale issuer rating of Aa2.br; the long-term global local currency
subordinate debt rating of Ba2; and the long-term Brazilian
national scale subordinate debt rating of Aa3.br.
The rating action is in line with the rating action taken on Banco
Industrial and Comercial S.A. (BICBANCO), announced on 6 November
2013 (please refer to PR "Moody's affirms BICBANCO's ratings;
changes outlook to developing ").
The following ratings assigned to BIC - Arrendamento Mercantil
S.A. were affirmed, and the outlook changed to developing, from
negative:
Long-term global local currency issuer rating of Ba1
Long-term Brazilian national scale issuer rating of Aa2.br
Long-term global local currency subordinate debt rating of Ba2
Long-term Brazilian national scale subordinate debt rating of
Aa3.br
Ratings Rationale:
Moody's explained that the local currency issuer rating assigned
to BIC - Arrendamento Mercantil S.A. derives from BICBANCO's Ba1
global local currency deposit rating which, in turn, incorporates
the bank's standalone baseline credit assessment of ba1.
The change in outlook to developing from negative on BIC -
Arrendamento Mercantil S.A. therefore follows the outlook change
on its parent's ratings and incorporates Moody's expectation that
BICBANCO's purchase by China Construction Bank will benefit its
access to broader funding sources, and will allow the
repositioning of the bank's franchise in the Brazilian market. In
that context, efforts by the management team to redefine
BICBANCO's core activities in order to improve profitability would
be supported by a large foreign shareholder.
At the same time, Moody's highlights the challenges of
shareholding transition because of CCB's very recent track record
in managing international subsidiaries, as well as aspects
regarding management continuity and strategic definitions by the
new shareholder. BICBANCO is the Chinese bank's first
international acquisition and its total assets represent only 0.3%
of CCB's.
The last rating action on BIC - Arrendamento Mercantil S.A. was on
2 August 2013, when Moody's downgraded all ratings of the issuer
and placed them on negative outlook.
Moody's National Scale Ratings (NSRs) are intended as relative
measures of creditworthiness among debt issues and issuers within
a country, enabling market participants to better differentiate

Moody's rated entities, but only with NSRs for other rated debt
issues and issuers within the same country. NSRs are designated by
a ".nn" country modifier signifying the relevant country, as in
".mx" for Mexico.
BIC Leasing is headquartered in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil and
reported total assets of approximately R$712 million (US$348
million) and equity of R$188 million (US$92 million) as of 31
December 2012.
GAFISA SA: Posts BRL15.8MM Net Income in 3Mos. Ended September
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News reports that Gafisa SA posted a quarterly profit
for the first time in a year.
Adjusted net income for the three months ended in September was
BRL15.8 million (US$6.9 million), according to data compiled by
Bloomberg after the company released results. The average
estimate of five analysts surveyed by Bloomberg was BRL12.7
million.
While the Sao Paulo-based company had already released some
preliminary figures including booked sales, a 5.19 percentage
point increase in gross margins to 27.6 percent was a "positive
surprise," compared with a forecast for 22.7 percent, Banco Itau
BBA analysts led by David Lawant said in a research note to
clients, Bloomberg News notes.
Bloomberg News discloses that the improvement is a result of the
greater impact of newer projects on revenue, Gafisa SA said in a
regulatory filing.
"Numbers were better than our expectation," the Itau analysts
wrote, Bloomberg News relays. "Gross margins were a positive
surprise and improved on a quarterly basis," Bloomberg News adds.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter - Latin America on
Nov. 1, 2013, Moody's America Latina downgraded Gafisa's corporate
family ratings to B1 from Ba3 on its global scale and to Baa3.br
from A3.br on its national scale. At the same time, the company's
BRL600 million senior secured debentures were downgraded to
Ba3/A3.br from Ba2/A1.br, while its BRL300 million senior
unsecured debentures were downgraded to B2/Ba2.br from B1/Baa2.br.
The outlook is negative for all ratings.
OSX BRASIL: Files for Bankruptcy Protection, Owes Billions
----------------------------------------------------------
Luciana Magalhaes, Emily Glazer and Rogerio Jelmayer, writing for
The Wall Street Journal, report that OSX Brasil SA, the ship
building company of troubled tycoon Eike Batista, filed for
bankruptcy protection, the second such filing for a commodities
empire that crumbled this year as losses piled up and investor
confidence plummeted.
"Parts of Mr. Batista's empire were a house of cards, and now they
are falling," the WSJ quoted Guilherme Figueiredo, a fund manager
at M.Safra & Co. in Sao Paulo who helps oversee $1.97 billion in
assets, as saying.
The move on Nov. 11, 2013, at a Rio de Janeiro court follows a
default and bankruptcy filing last month for Mr. Batista's
flagship oil firm OGX Petroleo e Gas Participacoes SA, according
to The WSJ. The firm went public in 2008 for $4.1 billion but
failed to produce nearly any of the up to 10.8 billion barrels it
claimed to have. Recently, OGX declared several of its once
promising fields were actually duds.
The WSJ notes that the collapse of OGX sent shockwaves across the
rest of Mr. Batista's companies, which included five interlinking
mining, port, oil, energy and ship building firms taken public
over a frenetic six-year stretch starting in 2006. The hardest
hit by the oil company collapse is OSX, the ship builder he set up
to build oil platforms and lease them to OGX. OSX had essentially
one customer, his oil company OGX; when one went down, so did the
other.
The WSJ relates that Mr. Batista has sought to sell off big stakes
in parts of his conglomerate deemed healthier, such as a power
generation company called Eneva SA and a company called LLX
LogĄstica SA building a super-port near Rio de Janeiro.
The WSJ discloses that OSX had outstanding debts of around $2.2
billion as of June 30, including dollar- and local- currency
denominated loans and bonds held by a mix of banks investors and
government institutions, such as Brazil's National Bank for
Economic and Social Development, or BNDES, and the Merchant Marine
Fund. But the bankruptcy only covers a portion of the debt, as
some major assets were excluded from the filing, according to a
company spokeswoman, The WSJ relays.
The WSJ notes that Eduardo Munhoz, a lawyer who is handling OGX
and OSX dealings on Mr. Batista's behalf, said OSX has also
provided an additional BRL2.2 billion in guarantees for two of the
oil platforms.
The WSJ says OSX wants to sell these platforms to raise money to
pay off the creditors of the debts linked to the oil rigs. OSX
officials estimate the platforms could be worth $1 billion each,
but that number is impossible to verify, The WSJ relates.
Representatives of the holders of these debts declined to provide
names of the holders. At least $850 million of these debts were
issued as part of a syndicated loan organized by Brazil's banking
giant Itau Unibanco Holding SA, as well as European banks ING
Groep NV and Banco Santander, according to OSX statements obtained
by The WSJ.
OSX Brasil SA is a shipbuilder controlled by billionaire Eike
Batista.
OSX BRASIL: Vessels Excluded From Planned Bankruptcy Filing
-----------------------------------------------------------
Cristiane Lucchesi, Jonathan Levin, and Juan Pablo Spinetto at
Bloomberg News, citing two unnamed sources, report that OSX Brasil
SA intends to leave out from a bankruptcy protection filing three
oil vessels used as collateral for US$1.77 billion of debt.
The people said that OSX Brasil is planning to file a judicial
recovery petition, as the process is known in Brazil, according to
Bloomberg News. The company's leasing unit, through which it owns
the OSX-1, OSX-2 and OSX-3 platforms, won't form part of the
filing, they said, Bloomberg News relates.
Bloomberg News notes that sources said Credit Suisse Group AG was
hired to help sell OSX-1 and OSX-2 that guarantee two syndicated
loans with a total value of US$1.27 billion. OSX's sole
international bond of US$500 million is also guaranteed by a
vessel, OSX-3, whose value was booked at BRL1.1 billion (US$480
million) as of June 30, Bloomberg News relates.
Asset Sale
Bloomberg News notes that in an Oct. 31 statement, the shipbuilder
said it was ready to seek bankruptcy protection if management
decided that was the best way to protect its interests. OSX
continues to study the measure, a press department official said
by phone, asking not to be named in line with company policy,
Bloomberg News relays.
Bloomberg News discloses that OSX and OGX were the only two of
Batista's six publicly listed companies that sold bonds in
international markets. Eike Batista either relinquished control
of, or agreed to sell key assets and stakes in, the four other
startups. OSX was building three vessels for OGX before the
explorer's tests uncovered an absence of oil in a series of non-
commercial wells, Bloomberg News says.
OSX, the last of Mr. Batista's companies to undertake an initial
public offering, was created to profit from Brazil's local content
rules, which limit the use of imported equipment and services by
the oil and gas industry, Bloomberg News relays. The company's
shares never recovered the March 2010 IPO price even as Batista
promised to create "the Embraer of the seas," referring to the
world's largest regional-jet maker, Bloomberg News notes.
Bank Deal
Bloomberg News discloses that until Sept. 2012 the company was
saying it had firm orders for vessels worth US$7 billion. Since
then, OSX has been shrinking projects, firing staff and putting
units on sale after contracts were canceled and losses mounted,
Bloomberg News notes. In March, OSX shelved plans to sell a
second international debt security amid a rout in its securities,
according to a memo from underwriters obtained by Bloomberg News
at the time.
OSX Brasil SA is a shipbuilder controlled by billionaire Eike
Batista.

SUNTECH POWER: Takes Step Toward Final Wind-Down
------------------------------------------------
Reuters reported that China's Suntech Power Holdings Co Ltd , once
the world's largest maker of solar panels, filed for provisional
liquidation, signaling that it may go out of business after years
of steep declines in panel prices.
According to the report, Suntech's shares fell as much as 23
percent to $1.15 on the New York Stock Exchange on Nov. 6.
"We do think this is the end for Suntech," Raymond James analyst
Ryan Berney told Reuters.
Suntech filed for provisional liquidation in the Cayman Islands,
where it is incorporated, the report related. A provisional
liquidation is an emergency procedure that a company can apply for
only after a petition to wind up has been presented at court.
Suntech also said it would consider pursuing a Chapter 15 filing
in the United States that would allow U.S. courts to recognize a
foreign bankruptcy as the main proceeding and block creditors from
seizing U.S. assets, the report further related.
About Suntech
Wuxi, China-based Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. (NYSE: STP)
produces solar products for residential, commercial, industrial,
and utility applications. With regional headquarters in China,
Switzerland, and the United States, and gigawatt-scale
manufacturing worldwide, Suntech has delivered more than
25,000,000 photovoltaic panels to over a thousand customers in
more than 80 countries.
Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd., received from the trustee of its
3 percent Convertible Notes a notice of default and acceleration
relating to Suntech's non-payment of the principal amount of
US$541 million that was due to holders of the Notes on March 15,
2013. That event of default has also triggered cross-defaults
under Suntech's other outstanding debt, including its loans from
International Finance Corporation and Chinese domestic lenders.
Suntech Power had involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings
initiated against it on Oct. 14, 2013 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in
White Plains, New York (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 13-bk-13350), by
holders of more than $1.5 million of defaulted securities under a
2008 $575 million indenture. The Chapter 7 Petitioners are

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: Keeps Prime Rate Unchanged at 6.25%
-------------------------------------------------------
Dominican Today reports that Dominican Republic's Central Bank
said it will keep the 6.25% per year rate unchanged, taking
inflation projection and market expectation into account.
It said it based its decision to keep the monetary policy rate
(TPM) unchanged on the behavior of major macroeconomic variables,
stressing the growth during the first nine months, "consistent
with an expansion of private sector credit in national currency
around 15% a year in September," according to Dominican Today.
The report relates that the Central Bank said it expects the
relatively stable exchange rate will continue, with the entry of
major inflows from the sovereign bonds, pending disbursements from
multilateral agencies, tourists and Dominicans who come for the
holidays and the contributions by the Barrick Gold Corp. mine, of
around US$109.9 million from the annual minimum tax.

ARENDAL S. DE RL: S&P Affirms 'B' CCR; Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B' global scale
corporate credit rating on Arendal S. de R.L. de C.V. The outlook
is stable. The rating affirmation follows our ordinary annual
review.
The ratings on Arendal continue to reflect S&P's assessment of its
"vulnerable" business risk profile and "aggressive" financial risk
profile.
S&P's assessment of Arendal's "vulnerable" business risk profile
incorporates the company's relatively short backlog (accounting
for less than a year and a half of revenues), its narrow business
focus (i.e. pipelines and plants), geographic concentration, and
its heavy dependence on public projects, particularly those
associated with Petroleos Mexicanos (foreign currency:
BBB/Positive/--; local currency: A-/Positive/--), Comision Federal
de Electricidad (CFE; Foreign currency: BBB/Positive/--; local
currency: A-/Positive/--), and Secretaria de Seguridad Publica
(NR). "The company's business risk profile also reflects the
inherent cyclicality, high competition, and capital intensive
nature of the construction industry. The rating also reflects
Arendal's small scale relative to its peers," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Francisco Gutierrez. The positive ratings
factors are the company's good position and track record in its
core business segments, (i.e. pipelines and plants), proven
technical capacity, and expertise to carry out medium-size and
specialized projects.

CARIBBEAN AIRLINES: Minister Wants Restructuring Plan Tweaked
-------------------------------------------------------------
Carla Bridglal at Trinidad Express reports that Trinidad and
Tobago Finance Minister Larry Howai has sent the Caribbean
Airlines Limited board of directors back to the drawing board to
tweak some of their propositions on how to restructure the debt-
riddled State enterprise and make it commercially viable.
"In the proposal they gave me I thought there were further
changes, for example, there were some routes that were kept,
(because the board assumed) I would want to keep them. The point
is I want them to be commercially viable, so if they can take out
these routes and (we can) see what the implications are from an
economic and commercial perspective," the report quoted Minister
Howai as saying.
Minister Howai told the Trinidad Express in an interview at his
Port of Spain office on Tuesday that the point was to minimize any
disruption for the airline, including avoiding having to make
staff cuts. Minister Howai said he had instructed the board to
make the further changes, and he was expecting the revisions in a
few weeks, and after that, he could take them to Cabinet for final
approvals, the report notes.
In September, the report relates, in keeping with a promise he
made in his 2014 budget presentation, Minister Howai received the
restructuring report for the airline from interim chairman Phillip
Marshal.
So far, Minister Howai said, the company's cash flow was looking
reasonably good, and during the peak summer months, the airline
had even turned a profit, the report notes.
"Their cash position is good, with about US$20 million in the
bank, so it's not an immediate crisis situation as far as the
company was concerned, but a question of how we move forward and
maintain this position during this (off-peak) part of the year
when the profits reverse before it picks back up in December," the
report quoted Minister Howai as saying.
The report relays that the company still has debt though -- with
the last figure he had on hand being TT$650 million.
"This will need to be restructured because it was all going to be
a bullet payment in early next year-no company has TT$650 million
to pay off a loan in one shot just like that. What (the board)
did in their first iteration of the strategic plan was to put
forward some proposals on how to restructuring that debt over
time. The company has sufficient assets to allow them to meet
obligations to act as collateral and provide cash flow to meet
obligations on an ongoing basis if they are managed well, based on
the preliminary data that I saw," Minister Howai said, the report
discloses.
Minister Howai said the revisions from the board should include
strategies that will reflect a position for Caribbean Airlines to
adequately collateralise its assets and loans and be in a position
where the government does not have to pay those loans, the report
notes.
"But what I will have to recapitalise the company, because some of
their brought forward loans will have reduced their overall
capital. But I budgeted TT$400 million for that this year; with
that capital they should be able to restructure the balance
sheet," Minister Howai said, the report adds.
Caribbean Airlines Limited -- http://www.caribbean-airlines.com/
-- provides passenger airline services in the Caribbean, South
America, and North America. The company also offers freighter
services for perishables, fish and seafood, live animals, human
remains, and dangerous goods. In addition, it operates a duty
free store in Trinidad. Caribbean Airlines Limited was founded in
2006 and is based in Piarco, Trinidad and Tobago.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on May
20, 2013, Caribbean360.com said that Trinidad and Tobago Finance
Minister Larry Howai said Caribbean Airlines Limited recorded
losses estimated at US$70 million in 2012. In 2011, CAL had
recorded losses of US43.7 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
