PAMPA ENERGIA: Incurs ARS719.77-Mil. Net Loss in First Quarter
--------------------------------------------------------------
Pampa Energia S.A. reported a net loss of ARS719.77 million on
ARS1.43 billion of sales for the three months ended March 31,
2014, compared with a net loss of ARS606.02 million on ARS1.39
billion of net sales for the same period in 2013.
The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2014, showed ARS13.18
billion in total assets, ARS2.26 billion in total liabilities, and
stockholders' equity of ARS10.92 billion.
Given the fact that the realization of the projected measures to
revert the manifested negative trend depends, among other factors,
on the occurrence of certain events that are not under its
subsidiary Edenor's control, such as the requested electricity
rate increases, the Board of Directors has raised substantial
doubt about Edenor's ability to continue as a going concern in the
term of the next fiscal year, being obliged to defer certain
payment obligations, as previously mentioned, or unable to meet
expectations for salary increases or the increases recorded in
third-party costs.
A copy of the Form 6-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission is available at http://is.gd/FdhSx1
Pampa Energia S.A., is an Argentina-based company primarily
engaged, through its subsidiaries, in the generation, transmission
and distribution of electric power.

* BRAZIL: Rio Grande to Get $50MM IDB Loan for Crime Prevention
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul will seek to reduce
violent crime (homicide and robbery) through a new integrated
prevention program targeting at-risk youths aged 15 to 24. The
project will be financed in part by a loan of $50 million from the
Inter-American Development Bank.
Crime rates have risen in recent years in Rio Grande do Sul, with
nearly 7 in 10 residents saying they fear being murdered.
The program will focus on cities with the highest proportions of
youths considered to be at risk of engaging in violence: Alvorada,
Porto Alegre and Viamao. In those cities, the rates of school
dropouts and students having to repeat grades are above state and
national averages, hindering young people's ability to get jobs.
The program aims to create opportunities and protect the rights of
these youths, which account for the largest number of crime
victims.
Another problem is that the military and civil police lack
information that would help them prevent crime effectively. So the
project will help upgrade police information technology in an
effort to improve police files and promote training in the
gathering and analysis of crime-related data.
One innovative feature of the project is to encourage a greater
state presence in Brazilian society, calling for action at the
different levels of government, the private sector and civil
society. This will be done by addressing the problem in a holistic
way and focusing investment on geographic areas with the highest
crime rates (3 of the state's 496 municipalities).
The plan will aim to reduce young people's exposure to
circumstances and behaviors that put them at risk, and generate
opportunities for them to use their time productively. This
includes the building of six youth centers for young people who
are socio-economically vulnerable. The program will also train
police in conflict-resolution and encourage community-based
policing. Training of police investigators will also be
strengthened.
Over the next four years, the goal is to help 32,000 young people
avoid dropping out of school and aid 51,000 in finding their first
job.
The loan is over 25 years and has an interest rate pegged to the
Libor. Brazilian authorities will contribute $6 million.

ALCOA INC: Posts US$138 Million Profit in Second Quarter
--------------------------------------------------------
RJR News reports that Alcoa Inc., which is pulling out of Jamaica
after 55 years, has reported a second-quarter profit of US$138
million. The profit reverses a loss from a year ago.
Alcoa Inc. said the positive result was due to strong performance
in its engineered-products business, which makes parts for
industrial customers, according to RJR News.
Alcoa has struggled in recent years as low aluminum prices hit its
bottom line, the report relates.
The company, which owns a 55 per cent stake in Clarendon based
alumina refinery, Jamalco, is selling its shares to Noble
Resources UK, but will continue to manage the refinery for a
further two years, the report notes.
Alcoa Inc. produces and manages primary aluminum, fabricated
aluminum, and alumina. The company operates in four segments:
Alumina, Primary Metals, Global Rolled Products, and Engineered
Products and Solutions.
* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America, Fitch
Ratings has stated that Alcoa's ratings and Outlook are unaffected
by the company's announcement that it is acquiring Firth Rixson
for $2.85 billion.
Fitch currently rates Alcoa as follows:
-- Issuer Default Rating (IDR) 'BB+';
-- Senior unsecured debt 'BB+';
-- $3.75 billion revolving credit facility 'BB+';
-- Preferred stock 'BB-'.
-- Short-term IDR 'B';
-- Commercial paper 'B'.
The Rating Outlook is Stable.

PETAQUILLA MINERALS: Posts $11.62-Mil. Net Loss for First Quarter
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Petaquilla Minerals Ltd. disclosed in a regulatory filing in the
U.S. that it had a net loss of $11.62 million on $5.75 million of
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared with
a net income of $15.77 million on $28.46 million of revenues for
the three months ended Feb. 28, 2013.
The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2014, showed $226.37
million in total assets, $194.13 million in total liabilities, and
stockholders' equity of $32.23 million.
The Company is in default of its Forward Gold and Silver Purchase
Agreements as the Company failed to meet its physical delivery
requirements and has either accrued for or settled such
obligations in cash. The default persists as of the date of these
condensed interim consolidated financial statements for all
agreements with Deutsche Bank. As a result of the default, all
balances owing to Deutsche Bank have been classified as current
liabilities as required under IAS 1. This factor indicates the
existence of a material uncertainty that raises substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern,
according to the regulatory filing.
A copy of the Form 6-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission is available for free at http://is.gd/V2DJ6O
Petaquilla Minerals Ltd. is engaged in the mining of gold in
Molejon, Panama. The British Columbia, Canada-Company also owns

CL FIN'L: Howai Hopes for Success in CLF Arbitration
----------------------------------------------------
Trinidad and Tobago Newsday reports that Finance Minister Larry
Howai remains hopeful arbitration over the sale of CL Financial
Limited subsidiary, Methanol Holdings, will be completed by the
end of July.
Giving an update on the status of CL Financial (CLF) and its
subsidiaries, among them insurance giant Clico, Minister Howai
said management of the conglomerate was "improving day by day" and
the major issue was what the decision of the arbitrators will be,
according to Trinidad and Tobago Newsday. Arbitration proceedings
with respect to Methanol Holdings were ongoing but Minister Howai
still expects a resolution by month-end, the report notes.
Minister Howai said the CLF shareholders wanted to hear what the
arbitrator has to say before they "sign on the dotted line"
regarding the agreement which gives Government management control
of the conglomerate, the report notes.
"They want to know too that at the end of the day, if there is
anything due to them, they get what is due to them," the report
quoted Mr. Howai as saying.
In April, Mr. Howai first disclosed in the Senate the expected
deadline for an end to the arbitration process, the report
relates. A tribunal is hearing the matter of the sale of CLF's
56.53 percent shareholding in Methanol Holdings to Consolidated
Energy (Trinidad and Tobago) Limited which includes foreign
partners Proman, Ferrostaal and Helm, the report notes.
"So I look forward to this being a successful exercise and us
coming out of this certainly everyone as far as possible, and
certainly the Government, coming out fully intact and made whole
for whatever we have put in," Mr. Howai said, the report relates.
Mr. Howai recalled the last discussion he had with Ernst and Young
on the CLF's values and liabilities, saying, "I was pretty
comfortable that we are in a good place right now," the report
discloses.
On the value, Minister Howai said he did not have the number off
the top of his head but it should be a total reversal of where
they were a year ago, the report notes.
"So it looks good but it is dependent on what we actually realise
when we start the process of divestment of assets," Minister Howai
said, the report adds.

* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Aug. 6, 2013, Caribbean360.com said that over TT$8 billion worth
of Colonial Life Insurance Company Limited's (CLICO) profitable
business will be transferred to Atruis, a new company that will be
owned by the state. CLICO is a subsidiary of CL Financial
Limited. The Trinidad Express said that the Cabinet approved the
transfer as the Finance and General Purposes Committee continues
to discuss a letter of intent hammered out by the Ministry of
Finance and CL Financial's 400 shareholders, which envisions
taxpayers will recover the more than TT$20 billion Government has
injected since 2009 to keep CL subsidiary CLICO and other
companies afloat, according to Caribbean360.com.
Caribbean360.com noted that CLICO financially caved in on itself
at the end of 2008 after the investment instruments of major
policyholders matured and they wanted hundreds of millions of
dollars they were owed.
Caribbean360.com related that at its annual general meeting in
Sept. 2013, CL Financial shareholders voted to extend the
agreement with Government until August 25, 2014, while Cabinet
decides on a new framework accord to recover the debt owed to
Government through divestment of CL subsidiaries, including
Methanol Holdings, Republic Bank, Angostura Holdings, CL World
Brands and Home Construction Ltd.
Proceeds from the divestment of these assets will go toward
Government's recovery of the billions it pumped into CLICO,
Caribbean360.com said.

LATAM: World Bank Commits US$10.2 Billion to the Region
-------------------------------------------------------
Jamaica Observer reports that the World Bank said it has committed
US$10.2 billion this year to support efforts in Latin America and
the Caribbean to boost economic growth and maintain historic
social gains.
The Washington-based financial institution said that the amount
included resources from its International Bank for Reconstruction
and Development (IBRD), the International Development Association
(IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the
Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), according to
Jamaica Observer.
The report notes that the World Bank's IBRD and IDA "maintained
its strong support for the region" by approving more than US$5.1
billion in new loans in fiscal year 2014, US$4.6 billion from IBRD
and US$455 million from IDA, the bank's fund for the poorest
countries, the statement said.
"Support was aimed at generating opportunities for all through
public and private sector projects that expand public services,
improve regional productivity, competitiveness and integration,
create new quality jobs and assist those most in need," the bank
said, adding that Haiti received US$103 million in IDA grants, the
report relates.
Transportation, fiscal management and education received the most
IBRD funding, said the World Bank, with the region receiving one-
quarter of IBRD's total global new lending, the report discloses.
The bank said that this fiscal year, IFC, the private sector arm
of the World Bank Group, identified infrastructure as one of the
most urgent priorities to help boost competitiveness and job
creation, especially for the region's growing urban population,
the report notes.
In fiscal year 2014, the report relays, the World Bank said IFC
invested US$1.7 billion in 34 infrastructure projects, including
energy, ports, telecoms and more.
In total, the World Bank said IFC supported 148 projects in Latin
America and the Caribbean this fiscal year with US$5.1 billion in
investments, including US$1.1 billion mobilized from other
financial institutions, notes the report.
It said IFC clients help support jobs for more than 1,580,000
people and provide over 25 million people with connections to
power, water and telephone services, adds the report.

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.
Submissions about insolvency-related conferences are encouraged.
