WORLDSPACE INC: Reports $4.2 Million Net Loss for October
---------------------------------------------------------
According to Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg, WorldSpace Inc. reported
a $4.2 million net loss in October on total revenue of $822,000.
The operating loss was $1.2 million. The operating loss from the
inception of the bankruptcy reorganization is $16.4 million.
WorldSpace posted a consolidated net loss of $519,712 on revenue
of $158,558 for the month of September 2009.
WorldSpace has obtained approval to borrow $4.3 million from
Liberty Satellite Radio LLC. The loan is intended to be what
WorldSpace calls a "potential bridge to a strategic transaction
with" Liberty. The new loan requires having a contract for the
sale of the business by Oct. 30, when the loan will expire by its
terms. WorldSpace says that completing a transaction with Liberty
represents the "only hope of confirming a plan and making
distributions to creditors."
Liberty purchased the existing debtor-in-possession loan in early
September.

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par. Prices are
obtained by TCR 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 constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or
sell any security of any kind. It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers'
public debt and equity securities about which we report.
Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $3 per
share in public markets. 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
Wednesday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged. Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com/
On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed
Chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and
liabilities delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts. The list
includes links to freely downloadable images of these small-dollar
petitions in Acrobat PDF format.
Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals. All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com. Go to
http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today.
Monthly Operating Reports are summarized in every Saturday edition
of the TCR.
The Sunday TCR delivers securitization rating news from the week
then-ending.
For copies of court documents filed in the District of Delaware,
please contact Vito at Parcels, Inc., at 302-658-9911. For
bankruptcy documents filed in cases pending outside the District
of Delaware, contact Ken Troubh at Nationwide Research &
Consulting at 207/791-2852.
