BABCOCK & BROWN: IMF Agrees to Fund AU$9.5 Mil. Claim
-----------------------------------------------------
Litigation funder IMF (Australia) Ltd said it has agreed to fund
Babcock & Brown Ltd's claim that it is entitled to approximately
AU$9.5 million held pursuant to the company's Executive
Achievement Share Trust Deed.

The proceedings are being conducted in California, U.S.

Headquartered in Sydney, Australia, Babcock & Brown Limited
(ASX:BNB) -- http://www.babcockbrown.com/-- is a global
alternative asset manager specializing in the origination and
management of asset in sectors, where the company has a franchise
and proven track record, and where there are opportunities to add
scale, infrastructure, air operating leasing and selected real
estate.  Babcock & Brown operates from 31 offices across
Australia, North America, Europe, Asia and the United Arab
Emirates.  The company has established a specialized funds and
asset management platform across the operating divisions that have
resulted in the establishment of a number of listed and unlisted
focused investment vehicles in areas, including real estate,
renewable energy and infrastructure.

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
March 13, 2009, Babcock & Brown appointed voluntary administrators
after investors in the company's subordinated notes listed in
New Zealand voted on March 13 against a special resolution to
restructure the terms of the notes.  Under the special resolution,
the company's equity and subordinated note holders won't receive
any return.  Babcock & Brown appointed David Lombe and Simon
Cathro of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as Voluntary Administrators.

The TCR-AP reported on Aug. 25, 2009, that Babcock & Brown Ltd
creditors voted to liquidate the assets of the company.  Deloitte
said the vote empowers it to investigate matters surrounding the
collapse of the group, including potential conflicts of interest
between the boards of Babcock & Brown and affiliated company
Babcock & Brown International Pty. Ltd. which held most of the
group's assets.


CENTRO PROPERTIES: Extends AU$370 Million CMBS Facility
-------------------------------------------------------
Centro Properties Group said that noteholders in Centro Shopping
Centre Securities Limited CMBS Series 2006-1 have agreed to extend
five loans that mature in December 2009.

The December 2009 facilities total AU$370 million.  As part of the
extension, approximately AU$45 million of the loan will be repaid
through proceeds from asset sales with the outstanding AU$325
million extended to December 2010 (AU$52 million) and December
2011 (AU$273 million).

The Centro Shopping Centre Securities CMBS 2006-1 is a Commercial
Mortgage Backed Security program that issued AU$900 million of
notes into the market in December 2006.  The program is
underpinned by 13 commercial property loans to Centro managed
funds.  The Loans had a staggered maturity profile with facilities
maturing December 2009, December 2010 and December 2011.

"The support from CMBS noteholders to extend the facilities
demonstrates a degree of renewed confidence from the CMBS market
in Australian retail property and the quality of centres owned by
Centro funds,? Centro CEO, Glenn Rufrano, said in a statement.

"Across the group, Centro has completed almost $1 billion of
Australian refinancing in FY10 to date.  This has been a pleasing
result for Centro and its managed funds and the level of support
received in refinancing these quality retail assets is
encouraging.  This marks the completion of the major refinancings
for CER and the Centro MCS Syndicates for FY10," Mr. Rufrano said.

              Debt Restructuring Advisers' Shortlist

Bloomberg News, citing the Australian Financial Review, meanwhile
reports that Macquarie Group Ltd., UBS AG and a combined pitch
from JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Moelis & Co. are on a shortlist of
banks to advise Centro Properties on a restructure of its AU$20
billion (US$17.8 billion) in property assets.

Bloomberg relates the newspaper reported in its Street Talk column
that Centro's Chairman Paul Cooper may decide on the adviser by
Christmas.

                      About Centro Properties

Centro Properties Group (ASX:CNP)-- http://www.centro.com.au/--
is a retail investment organization specializing in the
ownership, management and development of retail shopping
centres.  Centro manages both listed and unlisted retail
property and has an extensive portfolio of shopping centres
across Australia, New Zealand and the United States.  Centro has
funds under management of US$24.9 billion.

                         *     *     *

Centro owes its creditors as much as AU$6.6 billion and its
deadline to repay these debts has been extended four times since
December 2007, when the company's market value plunged.

On Jan. 16, 2009, the TCR-AP reported that Centro Properties Group
obtained a three-year extension on its AU$3.9 billion of the
senior syndicated debt facility.  It also obtained extension of
the debt facilities within Super LLC (Centro's US joint venture
investment with Centro Retail Trust (CER) and CMCS 40).

FERROCHINA LTD: Singapore Stock Exchange Wants Shares Delisted
---------------------------------------------------------------
Yee Kai Pin at Bloomberg News reports that the Singapore stock
exchange wants to delist FerroChina Ltd's shares, which had been
suspended since last year.

Bloomberg relates FerroChina said in a statement that the
Singapore stock exchange has asked for a delisting "by way of a
cash exit offer."  The exchange has rejected any further extension
for FerroChina to submit a so-called resumption proposal, the
report notes.

FerroChina is seeking to "salvage value" for shareholders
through a so-called reverse takeover of an unidentified Chinese
company, according to Ferrochina's statement obtained by
Bloomberg.  If the exchange agreed to allow further time,
FerroChina and the target company may agree to a sale by March 10,
it said.

Bloomberg says the company has also received a demand from BNP
Paribas (China) Ltd. for CNY96.6 million (US$14.2 million) that
was owed by a subsidiary, Changshu Xingdao Advanced Building-
Material Co.

The company is appealing the decision, according to Bloomberg.

                           Loan Default

In November 2008, the company said due to the current economic
crisis, it is unable to repay part of its working capital loans
aggregating approximately CNY706 million which has become due and
payable.  As a result, further loan facilities and notes of
approximately CNY2.03 billion may potentially become due and
payable.

There are some other working capital loans of CNY2.49 billion
which may also become due and payable, the company said.

                   Court Proceedings by Creditors

In a 2008 press statement, the company said that various creditors
of the company's PRC subsidiaries, including lenders and
suppliers, have commenced PRC court proceedings to claim for
amounts owing by these subsidiaries.  The subsidiaries involved
comprise:

   (a) Changshu Xinghai Advanced Building Material Co., Ltd;

   (b) Changshu Xingyu Advanced Building Material Co., Ltd;

   (c) Changshu Xingdao Advanced Building Material Co., Ltd;

   (d) Changshu Everbright Material Technology Co., Ltd;

   (e) Tianjin Everbright Material Technology Co., Ltd; and

   (f) Changshu Changgang Steel Plate Co., Ltd

In addition, the company said it faces a total of 169 lawsuits
with an aggregate claim amount of approximately RMB4.47 billion.

                      Appointment of Receivers

PricewaterhouseCoopers Singapore was appointed as receiver over
the shares of the company's wholly-owned subsidiaries:

   (a) Trigo Lucky, being the immediate holding company
       of Xinghai and Xingyu; and

   (b) Twin Well, being the immediate holding company
       of Xingdao,

pursuant to a debenture granted by the company in favor of

of US$130 million guaranteed notes due 2011 issued by the company.

JIANLIBAO GROUP: Former Executives Jailed for Embezzling Funds
--------------------------------------------------------------
Three former executives of beverage maker Jianlibao Group have
been sentenced to jail in China's Guangdong province for stealing
from the company's staff welfare fund, Xinhua News reports.

The Intermediate People's Court of Foshan spokesman said Jianlibao
former vice presidents Yang Shiming received an 18-year sentence
and Li Qingyuan and Ruan Juyuan were each sentenced to 14 years.
They were also fined CNY150,000 (US$20,000) each.

According to the report, the three were charged with embezzling
CNY11 million from the employee welfare fund to buy insurance for
themselves, former group chairman Li Jingwei and another former
vice president Yu Shanfu in June 2000.

The news agency relates the spokesman said the court had suspended
the hearing of Mr. Li due to illness.

Xinhua relates that the court also heard Mr. Yang took bribes
worth CNY100,000 in 1997, when he was in charge of renovation of
the company's office building.  Mr. Yang was convicted of
embezzling CNY130,000 of the corporate fund in 2001, when the
former State-owned company was transferred to a shareholding
company, the report says.

Jianlibao Group, once China's biggest beverage maker, was taken
over by Taiwan-based Uni-President Group in 2005.  The company
suffered a loss of CNY39.88 million in 2008.

The rating reflects Aaiswarya Prints' exposure to risks relating
to large, debt-funded capital expenditure (capex), geographical
concentration in revenue profile, and to small scale of
operations, and intense competition, in the dyeing and printing
industry.   These weaknesses are partially offset by Aaiswarya
Prints' moderate financial risk profile, and the benefits that the
company derives from its promoters' experience in the dyeing and
printing business, and strong relationships with customers.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Aaiswarya Prints will continue to benefit
from the established relationships with customers and the
promoters' experience in the dyeing and printing business.   The
outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if the company's cash
accruals increase, backed by a scale-up in operations, or if its
capital structure improves considerably.   Conversely, the outlook
may be revised to 'Negative' if Aaiswarya Prints' financial risk
profile deteriorates, owing to large debt-funded capex, or sharp
decline in debt protection measures over the medium term.

                      About Aaiswarya Prints

Set up in April 1999, by Mr.   Ramesh Dumasia, Aaiswarya Prints is
a processing house, which undertakes dyeing and printing of a
variety of polyester fabric.  Currently, the company has a total
fabric processing capacity of 1.2 million metres per day.

Aaiswarya Prints reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR18.7
million on net sales of INR621 million for 2007-08 (refers to
financial year, April 1 to March 31), as against a PAT of INR6.1
million on net sales of INR379 million for 2006-07.

The ratings reflect ASFPL's below-average financial risk profile,
susceptibility to risks inherent in the seafood industry, and
exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.  These
weaknesses are partially offset by the company's established
position in the seafood-export business and its healthy operating
efficiency.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that ASFPL will continue to benefit from the
healthy demand for Indian shrimp in the global market, over the
medium term.  The company will also maintain its moderate
operating efficiency.   The outlook may be revised to 'Positive'
if ASFPL's scale of operations, operating margin, and realizations
increase substantially.  Conversely, the outlook may be revised to
'Negative' if the company undertakes a large, debt-funded capital
expenditure program, leading to deterioration in its capital
structure, or if its volumes or margin decline steeply.

                        About Andaman Sea

Set up in 1995 in Kolkata by Mr. Amit Ranjan Mukherjee, ASFPL
processes and exports cultured shrimp and fish.  It primarily
caters to the Europe, the US, Japan, and the UAE markets.  The
company procures shrimp from aquaculture farmers and agents, and
has the shrimp processed on job-work basis.

ASFPL reported a net losses of INR193 million on net sales of
INR452.20 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year, April 1
to March 31), against a net profit of INR6.89 million on net sales
of INR462.20 million for 2007-08.


AVENUES PHARMACEUTICALS: CRISIL Puts 'BB' Rating on Bank Debts
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's rating on the bank facilities of Avenues Pharmaceutical
Associates continues to reflect Avenues Pharma's moderate
financial risk profile marked by moderate debt protection
measures, and limited financial flexibility because of high bank
limit utilization..  The impact of these weaknesses is mitigated
by the firm's established market presence and the benefits that it
derives from the vast experience of its promoters, and its robust
technological and logistics infrastructure.

   Facilities                              Ratings
   ----------                              -------
   INR180.0 Million Cash Credit            BB/Stable
   (Enhanced from INR145.0 Million)
   INR10.0 Million Stand by Line           BB/Stable (Reaffirmed)
         of Credit

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Avenues Pharma will maintain its business
risk profile on the back of established relationships with key
customers and suppliers, and the steady growth in demand for
pharmaceutical products.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive'
if the firm's gearing, operating margins, and debt protection
measures, improve significantly.  Conversely, the outlook may be
revised to 'Negative' if Avenues Pharma undertakes large debt-
funded capital expenditure programme, or reports sharp
deterioration in operating margins or debt protection measures.

Summary Update

Avenues Pharma has maintained its business risk profile.
However, its gearing continued to be above 2 times as on March 31,
2009; short-term bank borrowings account for the entire debt.  The
bank limit utilisation was high, at above 80 per cent, during
January 2009 and September 2009.   The debt protection metrics
remained under pressure because of slender profitability, coupled
with a high gearing.

For 2008-09, Avenues Pharma reported net sales of INR821.1
million, against INR739.1 million in the previous year.

                      About Avenues Pharma's

Set up in 1978 by Mr. K G Subbaraj as a partnership firm, Avenues
Pharma is engaged in the distribution of pharmaceutical products.
The entity is a stockist for GlaxoSmithkline, MSD, Astrazeneca,
Allergan India Pvt Ltd, Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd, Pfizer Ltd,
Sanofi Aventis, Sanofi Pasteur, Galderma, Wyeth and Johnson &
Johnson Ltd, among others.  The firm is also a super stockist for
Bio-med Ltd, and consignee agent for Albert David Ltd.


AXIS BANK: Moody's Upgrades Deposit Ratings to 'Ba1'
----------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has upgraded the long-term foreign
currency deposit ratings of 14 Indian banks to Ba1 from Ba2,
following Moody's recent upgrade of India's FC deposit ceiling.
This rating action takes into account the fact that all Indian
banks have a global local currency deposit rating higher than Ba1,
and thus their FC deposit ratings have been constrained by India's
FC deposit ceiling.

The upgrade of the long-term foreign currency bank deposit ratings
to Ba1 with stable outlook from Ba2 affects these banks: Axis Bank

other ratings assigned to these banks are unaffected by this
rating action.

on 29 March 2007, when Moody's rated Baa3 the bank's senior
unsecured floating rate notes.

The last rating action for Central Bank of India, IDBI Bank Ltd,
Oriental Bank of Commerce, Punjab National Bank and Syndicate Bank
was taken on 21 October 2009, when their GLC deposit ratings were
downgraded due to Moody's adjustment of the systemic support
indicator for India.

The last rating action for Axis Bank Ltd, Bank of Baroda, Bank of
India, Canara Bank, HDFC Bank Ltd, ICICI Bank Ltd, State Bank of
India and Union Bank of India was taken on 18 November 2009, when
their junior subordinated and hybrid Tier 1 ratings were placed on
review for a possible downgrade due to Moody's change to its
rating methodology for these instruments.

IN TRADING: CRISIL Rates INR35 Mil. Term Loan at 'BB-'
------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its rating of 'BB-/Stable' to the various bank
facilities of In Trading Private Limited.

   Facilities                            Ratings
   ----------                            -------
   INR135.0 Million Cash Credit Limit    BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR35.0 Million Term Loan             BB-/Stable (Assigned)

The rating reflects In Trading's moderate financial risk profile
marked by moderate debt protection measures and high working
capital requirements along with customer concentration.  These
weaknesses are, however, partially offset by In Trading's
established track record in the wooden furniture export market.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that In Trading will maintain its business risk
profile with established track record in the export furniture
market.  However, the company's financial risk profile is expected
to remain constrained due to moderate debt protection measures.
The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if In Trading's revenue
and profitability improves substantially leading to improvement in
its debt protection measures.  Conversely, the outlook may be
revised to 'Negative' if In Trading's profitability deteriorates
further putting pressure on its weak debt protection measures or
its financial risk profile deteriorates due to debt funded capex.

In Trading, incorporated in 1996 as a partnership firm and
converted to private limited company in 2003, is a manufacturer of
wooden furniture and exporter to the USA and European markets.
The company was initially engaged in trading Indian furniture and
began its own manufacturing operations in 2003.  It has two
production facilities located in Manesar, Haryana and Churu,
Rajasthan.  The company procures wood planks from saw mills
located across Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.  The company
sells directly or through traders to large departmental stores
such as John Lewis and Marks and Spencer in UK and Cost Plus
Management Inc in USA.   The company is promoted by Mr. Vikram
Jain.

In Trading reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR0.5 million on
net sales of INR429.8 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial
year, April 1 to March 31), as against a PAT of INR16.3 million on
net sales of INR548.1 million for 2007-08.


INDO GLOBAL: Low Net Worth Prompts CRISIL 'BB+' Ratings
-------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its ratings of 'BB+/Stable/P4+' to Indo Global
Commercials Pvt Ltd bank facilities.

   Facilities                         Ratings
   ----------                         -------
   INR70.0 Million Cash Credit        BB+/Stable (Assigned)
   INR27.5 Million Rupee Term Loan    BB+/Stable (Assigned)
   INR27.5 Million Proposed Long      BB+/Stable (Assigned)
           Term Bank Loan Facility
   INR20.0 Million Letter of Credit   P4+ (Assigned)
   INR5.0 Million Bank Guarantee      P4+ (Assigned)

The ratings reflect Indo Global's low net worth and moderate scale
of operations in the paper trading industry, and stretched debtor
profile.  These weaknesses are partially offset by the company's
low gearing, comfortable debt protection measures, and benefits
derived from established relationships with suppliers and
customers.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Indo Global will continue to benefit from its
satisfactory track record in the paper trading business, and low
inventory risks.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if Indo
Global's revenues grow substantially while it maintains current
profitability and manages its receivables comfortably.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if large
debt-funded capital expenditure leads to deterioration in Indo
Global's financial risk profile, or if poor receivables management
results in stretched liquidity.

                        About Indo Global

Set up in 1997 by Mr. Sajjan Jain, Indo Global trades in newsprint
and other varieties of paper.  The company also trades in coal.
Its key customers include India's leading newspaper agencies.
Indo Global also exports to countries in the Middle East and East
Africa.  The company also has a windmill in Maharashtra with
capacity to generate 0.60 mega watts of power.  Indo Global
reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR15.6 million on net sales
of INR142.2 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year, April 1
to March 31), as against a PAT of INR11.0 million on net sales of
INR142.8 million for 2007-08.


SAINEST TUBES: CRISIL Assigns 'BB-' Rating on INR58MM LT Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its ratings of 'BB-/Stable/P4+' to the bank
facilities of Sainest Tubes Pvt Ltd.

   Facilities                            Ratings
   ----------                            -------
   INR65.5 Million Cash Credit Limit     BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR69.0 Million Term Loan             BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR80.0 Million Letter of Credit      P4+ (Assigned)
   INR12.5 Million Bank Guarantee        P4+ (Assigned)

The ratings factor in Sainest's moderate financial risk profile,
marked by weak debt protection measures, low net worth, and small
scale of operations in the pipes and tubes industry.   These
weaknesses are, however, mitigated by Sainest's robust growth in
revenues, improving liquidity, and the benefits it derives from
the healthy demand for pipes and tubes from end-users.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL expects Sainest to maintain a stable business risk profile
over the medium term, backed by an established customer base, and
strong order book.   The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if
Sainest diversifies its revenue base, and generates more cash
accruals than expected.   Conversely, the outlook may be revised
to 'Negative' if the company's profitability declines on account
of sharp increases in raw material prices, or if intake of large
debt to fund capital expenditure leads to deterioration in its
financial profile.

                        About Sainest Tubes

Incorporated in 1988, Sainest commenced commercial operations in
1993.   It manufactures a variety of pipes and tubes; these
include carbon steel and alloy steel seamless tubes and pipes, and
U-bend tubes and pipes.  The company supplies these products to
refineries, petrochemical, fertilizer, chemical, steel, and sugar
plants, boiler and automobile manufacturers, and ship builders.
Its plant at Gandhinagar (Gujarat) has capacity to manufacture
6300 tonnes of pipes per annum.  Sainest reported a profit after
tax (PAT) of INR10.6 million on net sales of INR336.2 million for
2008-09 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31), as
against a PAT of INR9.7 million on net sales of INR274.9 million
for 2007-08.


SHEKHAWATI POLY-YARN: CRISIL Rates INR125MM LT Loan at 'BB-'
------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its rating of 'BB-/Stable' to Shekhawati Poly-
Yarn Pvt Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                         Ratings
   ----------                         -------
   INR120.0 Million Cash Credit*       BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR125.0 Million Long Term Loan     BB-/Stable (Assigned)

   * Interchangeable with letter of credit to the extent of
     INR40.0 million

The rating reflects Shekhawati's subdued financial risk profile,
and exposure to risks relating to limited pricing power, and
commodity nature of products.  These weaknesses are partially
offset by the benefits that the company derives from its
promoters' experience in the yarn industry.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Shekhawati will continue to benefit from the
promoters' experience, and the company's established presence, in
the yarn industry.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if
Shekhawati's sales volumes and operating margin increase, and its
debt protection measures improve.   Conversely, the outlook may be
revised to 'Negative' if the company contracts large debt to fund
capital expenditure, further weakening its financial risk profile.

Shekhawati, incorporated in 1990, by Mr. Ramniranjan Ruia and
Mr. Mukesh Ruia, manufactures polyester texturised yarn and
twisted yarn at its manufacturing facilities at Silvassa.
Shekhawati is part of the Ruia group, set up in 1968 by
Mr. Ramniranjan Ruia.   Shekhawati reported a profit after tax
(PAT) of INR11.7 million on net sales of INR776.3 million for
2008-09 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31), as
against a PAT of INR5.9 million on net sales of INR325.2 million
for 2007-08.


SIDDHI VINAYAK: CRISIL Assigns 'BB-' Rating on INR2.7MM LT Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its rating of 'BB-/Stable' to Siddhi Vinayak
Industries' bank facilities.

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR70.0 Million Cash Credit Limit      BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR2.7 Million Term Loan               BB-/Stable (Assigned)

The rating reflects SVI's weak financial risk profile, small scale
of operations in the intensely-competitive edible oil industry,
and exposure to risks relating to vagaries in the monsoons.  These
weaknesses are partially offset by SVI's comfortable working-
capital management and established relationships with customers.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL expects SVI's operating margins to remain stable, backed by
established relationships with its customers.  The outlook may be
revised to 'Positive' if SVI's operating margins increase, or its
capital structure improves owing to a stronger capital base.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the firm
contracts large debt to fund capital expenditure, weakening its
financial risk profile.

Set up in 2004 as a partnership firm by six partners, led by Mr.
Mukesh D Maheshwari, SVI manufactures mustard oil and its by-
products.  The firm has capacity to process 136 tonnes of mustard
seed per day at its plant in Radhanpur (Gujarat).  SVI reported a
profit after tax (PAT) of INR4.3 million on net sales of INR658.2
million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year, April 1 to
March 31), as against a PAT of INR4 million on net sales of
INR604.3 million for 2007-08.


SURIYA TEXTILE: Delays in Loan Repayment Cue CRISIL Junk Ratings
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has downgraded its ratings on the bank facilities of Suriya
Textile Processing Mills, which is part of the Thirupur Suriya
group, to 'D/P5' from 'BBB/Negative/P3'.

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR187.0 Million Long-Term Loans       D (Downgraded from
                                             'BBB/Negative')

   INR8.0 Million Cash Credit Limits      D (Downgraded from
                                             'BBB/Negative')

   INR17.5 Million Packing Credit Limits  P5 (Downgraded from
                                              'P3')

   INR5.0 Million Standby Line of Credit  P5 (Downgraded from
                                               'P3')
   INR15.0 Million Bill Purchase/         P5 (Downgraded from
                   Discounting                 'P3')

   INR25.3 Million Letter of Credit       P5 (Downgraded from
                    Limits                     'P3')

   INR5.0 Million Bank Guarantee          P5 (Downgraded from
                                              'P3')

The rating action follows delays in servicing of term loan by
Suriya Mills; the delay has been caused by the Thirupur Suriya
group's weak liquidity.  The weak liquidity in Suriya Mills is
driven by losses incurred in 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31) due to low capacity utilization resulting in
high operating costs.

For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of Suriya Mills, Tiruppur Surya Hitec
Apparel Pvt Ltd (rated 'B+/Negative/P4' by CRISIL), and Thirupur
Suriya Textiles Pvt Ltd ('B+/Negative/P4'), together referred to
as the Thirupur Suriya group.  This is because the three entities
are part of the group's textile value chain, are under a common
management, engage in interdependent commercial transactions, and
have a centralized raw material procurement and marketing
arrangement.

                         About the Group

The Thirupur Suriya group is a four-decade-old player in the
textile industry; the group had total of 61,200 spindles and 85
knitting machines, as on March 31, 2009.  Suriya Mills was set up
in 1983.  A composite unit, the entity performs dyeing, compacting
and drying, and printing operations, and sells hosiery garments.

The Thirupur Suriya group reported a profit after tax (PAT) of
INR47 million on net sales of INR1.9 billion for 2008-09, against
a PAT of INR107 million on net sales of INR1.9 million for
2007-08.


THIRUPUR SURIYA: CRISIL Downgrades Rating on Various Bank Debts
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has downgraded its ratings on the bank facilities of
Thirupur Suriya Textiles Pvt Ltd, which is part of the Thirupur
Suriya group, to 'B+/Negative/P4' from 'BBB/Negative/P3'.

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR860.5 Million Long-Term Loans       B+/Negative (Downgraded
                                             from 'BBB/Negative')

   INR320 Million Cash Credit Limits      B+/Negative (Downgraded
                                             from 'BBB/Negative')

   INR130 Million Letter of Credit       P4 (Downgraded
                   Limits                    from 'P3')

  INR90.5 Million Bank Guarantee         P4 (Downgraded from 'P3')

The downgrade reflects severe pressure on the group's liquidity;
Suriya Textiles has been frequently overdrawing its bank lines.
The downgrade factors in delays in servicing of term loan by
Suriya Textiles' group concern, Suriya Textile Processing Mills
(Suriya Mills, rated 'D/P5' by CRISIL).  The downgrade also
factors in CRISIL's belief that the Thirupur Suriya group's
liquidity to remain weak over the medium term.

The ratings reflect the Thirupur Suriya group's below-average
financial risk profile, customer concentration in revenue profile,
and exposure to risks related to fluctuations in the value of the
Indian rupee.   These weaknesses are partially offset by the
group's established market position across the textile value
chain.

For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of Suriya Textiles, Tiruppur Surya Hitec
Apparel Pvt Ltd (Suriya Hitec, rated 'B+/Negative/P4' by CRISIL),

group.   This is because the three entities are part of the
group's textile value chain, are under a common management, engage
in interdependent commercial transactions, and have centralised
raw material procurement and marketing arrangement.

Outlook: Negative

CRISIL believes that the Thirupur Suriya group's liquidity to
remain weak over the medium term if the company does not revive
its profitability, which was depressed during the recent economic
downturn.  The ratings may be downgraded if the group's financial
risk profile deteriorates steeply, particularly its ability to
service debt obligations.  Conversely, the outlook may be revised
to 'Stable' in case of favorable rupee and cotton price movements,
or if the Thirupur Suriya group diversifies its customer base.

The Thirupur Suriya group is a four-decade-old player in the
textile industry; the group had total of 61,200 spindles and 85

grey (knitted) fabric.  The company has also installed five
windmills with capacity of 4.50 megawatts in Kanyakumari and
Udumalpet.  Around 32% of the company's power requirements are met
through these windmills.

The Thirupur Suriya group reported a profit after tax (PAT) of
INR47 million on net sales of INR1.9 billion for 2008-09 (refers
to financial year, April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR107

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Aug. 6, 2009, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it had
lowered its long term corporate credit rating on India-based Tata
Motors Ltd. to 'B' from 'B+'.  The outlook is negative.  At the

were removed from CreditWatch, where they were placed with
negative implications on December 18, 2009, and refreshed in
March 2009.

BAKRIE SUMATERA: Moody's Notes US$518 Mil. Issuance of Rights
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service says it notes Bakrie Sumatera
Plantations Tbk's announcement of a IDR4.97 billion
(US$518 million) rights issue, subject to shareholder approval.

BSP has corporate family and secured bond ratings of B3 with a
negative outlook.

About 65% of the net proceeds would be used to acquire a
downstream oleo chemical facility (PT Domas Agroniti Prima, "Domba
Mas"), currently in debt restructuring with creditors, as well as
two oil palm plantations and one rubber plantation.

Another 15% of the net proceeds would be used to develop its
plantation business and the rest to strengthen working capital.

"Before the announcement, Moody's had already factored into the
current rating BSP's aggressive acquisitive growth strategy", says
Wonnie Chu, a Moody's Analyst.

Although the proposed acquisitions are likely to increase cash
flow and allow BSP to become an integrated player, they also
involve a number of executions risks, including negotiations with
Dombas Mas' creditors, the restart of the Domba Mas production
facility, securing feedstock and off-take contracts, and
completion of a capacity expansion project.

"BSP would assume about US$320m of debt from the Domba Mas
acquisition, which would double its total debt obligations.  As a
result, its financial profile would be weakened, but this has also
already been captured in the negative rating outlook," says Chu.

Moody's will discuss with BSP management 1) the progress of the
restructuring of the Domba Mas' loans, and the terms and
conditions of the restructured loans; 2) the downstream capacity
expansion project and associated capex requirements; and 3) future
acquisition opportunities.

Given BSP's expected weakening financial profile, the negative
outlook is likely to remain over the medium term.

BSP's ratings could be downgraded if there were (1) cash leakages
from BSP to fund group affiliated companies; (2) further
aggressive debt-funded acquisitions/investments; and/or (3) falls
in CPO and latex prices beyond Moody's expectations; such that
Debt/EBITDA exceeds 6x and EBITDA/Interest falls below 1.5x on a
sustained basis.

The last rating action with respect to BSP was taken on April 16,
2009, when its corporate family and secured bond ratings were
downgraded to B3 from B2 with a negative outlook.

BSP's ratings have been assigned by evaluating factors Moody's
believes are relevant to the company's credit profile, including
its i) business risk and competitive position compared with other
companies within the industry; ii) capital structure and financial
risk; iii) projected performance over the near to intermediate
term; and iv) management's track record and tolerance for risk.

These attributes were compared against other issuers both within
and outside of BSP's core industry; its ratings are believed to be
comparable to those of other issuers of similar credit risk.

Bakrie Sumatera Plantations Tbk, an Indonesian upstream plantation
company operating in Sumatra, Indonesia, was 41.8% owned by the
conglomerate PT Bakrie & Brothers Group as at 30 September, 2009.
BSP was listed in 1990 on both the Jakarta and Surabaya Stock
Exchanges.


EXCELCOMINDO PRATAMA: S&P Gives Stable Outlook; Keeps 'BB-' Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on the
long-term corporate credit rating on Indonesian cellular service
provider PT Excelcomindo Pratama Tbk. to stable from negative.  At
the same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'BB-' corporate
credit rating on XL and its 'BB-' rating on the senior unsecured
notes issued by Excelcomindo Finance Co. B.V.

Excelcomindo Finance is a company incorporated in The Netherlands
and fully owned by XL.  The notes are unconditionally and
irrevocably guaranteed by XL.

The outlook revision reflects (1) S&P's view that XL's financial
risk profile is improving as a result of steady debt reduction,
(2) S&P's expectation that XL will lower its capital spending over
the next few years, and (3) S&P's opinion that intense price-based
competition in the Indonesian wireless market in recent years is
stabilizing.

The rating on XL reflects the company's high capital expenditure
requirement, strong pricing competition, and moderate regulatory
risks.  These risks are partially offset by established customer
base and domestic growth potential; number of subscribers, minutes
of usage and average revenue per user have all increased steadily
throughout the year.

"We expect XL to focus its capital spending more on capacity and
network efficiency improvement, given that a large part of its
network coverage investments has already been completed," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Allan Redimerio.  "Although S&P
expects capital spending over the next few years to remain
significant, it is likely to be lower than in 2007 and 2008.  For
the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2009, total capital expenditure
was IDR3.5 trillion, significantly below the IDR8.7 trillion for
the same period last year."

In S&P's opinion, the intense price competition in the Indonesian
wireless market remains but is less severe as the big three local
operators, including XL, appear to be satisfied with their
existing scale and market share, and are now focusing their
resources on improving the quality of their subscriber base and
their profitability.  In addition, new entrants have struggled to
increase market share and the price competition has been
detrimental to their financial performance these past few years.

"Under a more stable environment, S&P expects XL to generate
steady cash flows as it benefits from the strong growth
opportunities offered by the domestic market of about 250 million
people, with a mobile penetration rate of approximately 60%," Mr.
Redimerio said.

The stable outlook on the rating factors in S&P's expectations
that the stabilization in tariffs will be sustained over the next
few years, and that XL's current level of capital spending will be
maintained.  Along with this, S&P expects XL to improve its profit
margins and steadily increase its cash flows.

IDAMAN UNGGUL: Bursa Delists Securities Effective December 23
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad disclosed that the securities of
an Amended PN17 Company, Idaman Unggul Berhad, will be de-listed
and removed from the Official List of Bursa Securities on Dec. 23,

Bursa Securities said it had earlier announced its decision to de-

the Official List of Bursa Securities.

Idaman Unggul had submitted an appeal against the decision of
Bursa Securities.  After having considered all the facts and
circumstances of the matter, Bursa Securities said it has resolved
to disallow the company's appeal.

Bursa Malaysia added Idaman Unggul securities may remain deposited

physical certificates can withdraw them from the Central

withdrawal in accordance with the procedures prescribed by Bursa
Depository.  These shareholders can contact any Participating
Organization of Bursa Securities and/or Bursa Securities'
general line at 03-2034 7000.

Upon the delisting, the company will continue to exist but as an
unlisted entity.  The company will still continue its operations
and business and proceed with its corporate restructuring and its
shareholders can still be rewarded by the company's performance.
However, the shareholders will be holding shares which are no

WATERLAND FINANCIAL: Fitch Gives Stable Outlook; Keeps All Ratings
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has revised the Outlook on Taiwan's Waterland
Financial Holdings and its subsidiaries International Bills
Finance Corporation and Waterland Securities Corporation to Stable
from Negative.  The agency has simultaneously affirmed all their
ratings.  The rating actions follow an annual review of Waterland
group's credit profile.

The Outlook revision and rating affirmations on Waterland group
reflect the group's capacity to maintain solid capitalization and
liquidity, despite the large credit losses arising from IBF's
asset-backed commercial paper underwriting position (backed by
crisis-hit troubled synthetic CDOs) and the slowdown in Taiwan
economy.  The exposure to troubled ABCP position was entirely
removed through a write-off (TWD4.3 billion) in late 2008.
Meanwhile, credit quality of the rest of the group's assets
remained reasonably good amid the economic downturn.  Total
problem exposures continued to decline in 2008-9M09, and were
covered by sufficient reserves and good-quality underlying
collateral in real estate.

WFH positions itself as a niche financial group with core
businesses in dealing fixed income securities and corporate
banking.  It intends to keep up its leading position in the money
markets and increase the earning contribution from the equity-
related operations through acquisitions.  In view of the group's
high reliance on wholesale funding and limited product offering,
WFH is actively looking for opportunities to acquire a commercial
bank in Taiwan.

After a net loss due to impaired ABCPs in 2008, WFH returned to
reasonable profits in 9M09 (11% annualized return on equity) as
interest rate spreads widened upon sharply reduced funding cost
and increased risk premium, and a strong recovery in Taiwan's
stock market.  In 2010, Fitch expects the group to maintain
reasonable profitability underpinned by likely continued favorable
money market spreads and gradually improving productivity of WSC's
brokerage operations.  As a precaution to guard against potential
rises in interest rates, the group gradually reduced the duration
of fixed-income investments in 9M09 and actively hedges the
associated interest rate risks.  The group's stock holdings have
increased notably amid the stock market recovery.  Though the
associated risk is manageable, it could raise its earning
volatility.

WFH's liquidity is adequate, with cash dividend inflows from
subsidiaries comfortably covering the holding company's standalone
operating expenses and interest payments.  Moreover, IBF's funding
through bills and bond repurchase agreements is backed by high-
quality fixed-income securities while repo counterparties are
generally diversified.  WSC also has a liquid balance sheet with a
current ratio of 144% at end-H109.  WFH and its subsidiaries are
well-capitalized, with IBF's capital adequacy ratio increased to
15.6% at end-H109 from 14.2% at end-H108 due to a decline in
guarantee offering.  Meanwhile, WSC's CAR was 283% at end-
September 2009, which is higher than the regulatory minimum
requirement of 150%.

Established in March 2002, WFH is the only financial group with a
principal operating subsidiary in bills finance.  IBF is a wholly-
owned subsidiary of WFH and is the second largest bills finance
company by assets (22% of the sector, including guarantees, at
end-September 2009) in Taiwan.  WSC had a 2.48% market share of
equity brokerage in Taiwan at end-September 2009.

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-AP constitutes an offer
or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind.  It is
likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR-AP editor holds
some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities
about which we report.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Wednesday's edition of the TCR-AP. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com

Friday's edition of the TCR-AP 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.
